[IC] Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

[MarshiestMallow]

Sasha seemed a bit taken aback when he said he'd have a team with her in it, even if he did continue on to say that she was the only one he knew rght name> Sasha had never thought to have anyone say they wanted her in a team, but then, she hadn't really put herself out there when she was in the guild, prefering to watch everyone for a while. Still, it was nice to know that, and Sasha smiled. "most of the guild is nice, at least so far" She said, "Sure, there's fights, but I guess its similar to fights between siblings. Just on a grander scale, what with magic involved" She said with a laugh, looking about them, she started to look for somewhere to take a break, and eat. it wasn't wise to just stop in the middle of the road after all.

Mayt was obviously hungry, giving his growling stomach, and Sasha was too. They still had plenty of day light to reach the city, so Sasha made a decision to stop, pulling them off the road, and onto the side, just by some trees, and settled down on the grass, reluctantly letting Mayt's hand go, taking out the sandwiches, and water, she gave him his share with a smile. She also took out the plant book, and the Job Request, as he asked about the herb. She quickly looked over the Request,knowing the herb's name was there. She was going to ask the client, but that didn't seem like an option now, so she tried to read the herb's name. She sounded it out in her head, probably looking as if she were concentrating hard. "Um. The Herb's name is S-st-Stevia" She said softly, glancing at the book.

She sighed softly, and opened the book, and instead of embarrassingly flipping through the book, she went to the index, looking for the same letters as the herbs name. It took her a few moments, but she managed to find it, and flipped to the right page. Numbers were easier then letters to read, after all, there were only ten of them, they just kept on changing order, to create an infinite number of numbers. She looked up, saying "Its rare, but we should be able to find it. There's a picture in here, so we can use that as a reference point" She said, slipping her map inside to mark the page, before setting the book aside and opening her sandwich. She really hoped that Mayt hadn't noticed the difficulty she had had in reading, but she supposed people would find out eventually.

Angelo sighed a little shrugging letting him go. He just needed to be alone for a while "never said you were an animal and my life was my own hell" Angelo said softly not letting him hear since Angelo want going to make him do anything he didn't want to. Angelo gently pet Mark so Angelo could forget about Wes exploding on him. Although Angelo noticed that when Wes exploded they started to drop in sea level but to Angelo that could just be a coincidence considering that the waves moved them. Angelo watched as they got closer to the islands coast

After some time had past, the boat finally arrived on the shoreline of Freesia Island, "Okay this should be a good spot to stop, just don't stay too long, dem vulcans be scary." said the captain of the ship as he remained on board and Wes stepped off. He stretched as he felt glad to be back on land, then he took a quick glance at the terrain in front of them. "So Angelo, you have the paper for the job, do you no where we can our client?" He said while looking out in what could be behind the trees near the coast. "It's quite the forest we have here, hopefully it won't prove too much of a challenge to find the guy."

[Burthstone]

Mayt smiles fully as he takes his sandwich, and he starts to dig in, chewing and swallowing, and loving the taste of the sandwich. Sasha seemed to have some trouble reading, and he blushed, realizing she must have dyslexia or something. He would scoot over by her to get a better look at the picture of the plant, his shoulder brushing up against hers. He read over the text about the plant, curious as to its properties. He didn't say anything as he started to work towards finishing his sandwich. Sasha can easily feel that his barrier of heat is back.

Mayt spoke again once he had finished his food, wiping his mouth and folding up the napkin, putting it in his pocket to throw away in a trash can later. "Sorry, I didn't know you had dyslexia." He says quietly, knowing she probably was sensitive about the subject. He doesn't really give her a chance to respond before he goes on to "Interesting looking plant. but I feel like it's still going to take hours to find this thing. I'm not much of a herbalist. I can't tell you a pansy from a tulip." He smiles, jokingly, and pushes against her slightly with his shoulder. Causing her to rock a little bit, but not hard. "The sandwich was nice though." He looks like he's about to say something else, then shakes his head, and Sasha might be able to see him pinching his own leg with his left hand. He leans back, looking up at the sky. He lets out a long breath, hoping to have a few more minutes before they had to head back to the road. He had spent most of the past week walking around between places, and he wasn't super keen on the hike back to the town they were in that they had to do later.

Mayt hums a soft tune as he moves so that he's lying down, his legs still folded up where he was sitting. He sets his hands on his stomach, twiddling them. "I would've preferred to actually eat a little later, so that we'll probably be done by the time we wanted to eat again. Also, if we finish the job today, will we just set up camp on the road? Or will we try to go all the way back, even if it turns to night?" He lifts his head up a little to look at Sasha.

[MarshiestMallow]

She smiled when Mayt shifted closer, so their shoulders touched, and shifted the book slightly so he could see it better, shifting closer to the heat he created, enjoying it. She started to eat, but lowered her sandwich when Mayt said about her having Dyslexia, and she grimaced, lowering her sandwich as he continued, talking about the plant.She managed to smile, moving with the push he gave her, and laughed softly, looking at him curiously when he seemed to want to sa something else, and then abused himself by pinching himself. She blinked, wondering why he did that.

She pondered for a minute, looking at the picture, and saaid, "Don't worry, I can identify it. It's actually an easy one to identify, even though its quite rare. it has a different curve,, and style to some other things, and some times, it has small white flowers" She blushed, and said "I'm good at drawing, I notice things like that" She said, "but something could be doing this, creating an illness, so, its always good to have backup" She smiled, but she seemed troubled. She folded up her half eaten sandwich in the packaging it came in, setting it aside, and drinking some water.

She sighed softly, "it would be best to make camp if we do finish today, unless we can get a vehicle or something." she said, "I'd like to see it through though, see if the cure works." Even though the job request didn't require that, Sasha didn't think it felt right to just find the herb and go on their way. "We can find some more food too" She said, almost as an after thought. She looked down at her hands, frowning.

"I'm not Dyslexic. I just can't read well" She said softly, still looking down at her hands, wondering if she should have just gone on with the Dyslexia idea, but that didn't seem...honest. "My parents died when I was a kid, and my mentor didn't focus on things like reading, and i was generally too exhausted to practice reading myself" She said, her cheeks slowly reddening, and she sighed again, closing her eyes, ready for ridicule, even though she knew that was foolish.

Angelo walked out of the boat and he put mark in his shirt pocket to protect mark from any of the beasts nearby that would hurt his little friend putting some bread pieces in the pocket with him in case he is hungry. then angelo looked at his request sheet and told Wes "well it doesn't say where we can find him but it says his name is Gentai chin. so now the question is if you were a hermit where would you set up shop? right now my best guess is that if he is having a Vulcan problem then it means he is somewhere high up most likely near any mountains or hills so lets start their" Angelo told Wes as he put the request sheet back in his pocket and started to walk through the forest looking for anything that would resemble a hermits hut

[Burthstone]

"Sure, I don't mind staying near the place to see if it works. It'd be interesting." He yawns, and smiles at Sasha, the smile fading as she explains she isn't dyslexic. He stared up, musing for a few moments, before slowly saying. "Ah, well, too bad for him. He didn't get to hear your sweat voice reading things to him." He chuckles slightly, then frowns. Scratching his stomach, he closes his eyes. His face softens slightly, and his breathing levels out. After a few moments he jumps, half sitting up. He shakes his head, and gives Sasha a meek smile. "Sorry."

"Well, to be honest, at least you had someone who took a real interest in your life. Or, at least, a reasonable few. I was taken away from my birth parents because they were criminals, my second pair gave me up because they couldn't handle me, and my third set were completely incompetent. They quite literally adopted me because, and I quote, "to see what having a child is like, without having to go through the stress of giving birth to one". They're probably happily not having kids right now. Or, because I basically took care of myself, they could be in over their head with a five or six year old." He sighed, and stared up at the sky. "Well, when I said 'couldn't handle me' I meant 'I drew a knife on them because they wouldn't get the hell off my back'." Mayt closes his eyes again, giving Sasha time to respond to him telling her about his many parents.

[MarshiestMallow]

Sasha looked over with a smile, and noticed that Mayt seemed to be falling asleep, and she smiled with amusement, flinching as he jumped, and she shrugged, "You could have sleep for a bit, if you wanted" she said, falling silent as he spoke about his parents. three sets of parents? Sasha seemed puzzled at that. How could any parent give a kid up, even if they couldn't handle them? She supposed that it would be a dilemia, and she guessed she could understand, if it was about providing the best care. She supposed having a knife pulled on you would make you a bit unable to handle a kid.

She was actually jealous, given the fact that when her parents had died, no one had taken her in, no family or anything, and she had had to make it on her own for a month or so, before her mentor took her in. She looked over at him, "At least you had a chance to have parents try to look after you. Even if it didn't work out" She added, shrugging, "You'll find out that most people in Phoenix Wing have some sort ofevent in their backgrounds" She said, "or at least, thats my guess" She mused, leaning back and looking up at the sky.

"We can rest for a little bit, if you want" She said after a few moments, "We can get a carriage on the way back too, I'm sure the city without sound will have access to one maybe" She said, noticing that he seemed tired, and she wanted to make it easier. She put the book, map and Job request in her satchel, shrugging her satchel off, and leaning back herself.

"Okay then, lets start looking around the base of the mountain nearby and gradually go up. We might even find some clues on the way as to where Gentai lives. And a hut is probably our best guess as to what the guy lives in." So Wes began their trek through the island's forest in hopes of finding the hermit who apparently is stubborn enough to remain living here with a bunch of vulcans. "Angelo, any ideas what we might do if we encounter a vulcan first instead of Gentai?" he said to see what he responds with. As they traversed the island Wes could already feel how uneven the ground is and was unnoticed because of all the plant life that made the ground appear smooth.

"If we do meet find one first and things go bad, I could try the new technique that I've been practicing that specializes in close combat, great with these vulcans. Just hope I can get it to work right this time." he thought himself while searching for their client.

I would advise against trying something that might not be ready. if we see one then we will try to talk it down from attacking us first and if not I can always throw a lightning bolt at it and be done with it. for the time being lets keep moving" Angelo said changing from his happy go lucky personality to his work personality as he was serious and kept his eyes looking everywhere so they wouldn't get so easily surprised in case a Vulcan showed up. Angelo found their mountain and he saw a trail they could use and he looked at Wes to say "at least we wont have to climb all the way to get to him" Angelo said to him as he started to take their narrow path upwards towards the mountain thinking that if the hermit was going to stay here he would need a way to get around and a path always suggests easy routes to take

"Wait Angelo, Gentai might be old, but having a road leading straight to his hut wouldn't make sense. If he did then the vulcans would know exactly where to find him. Though he may be close to the road for convenience, so let's keep our eyes out." Wes paused for a second and looked down. There appeared to be foot prints that resemble a human was here, with closer analysis Wes mention, "If you look down there are other foot prints that aren't ours and from the look of it the person doubled back stepping on his own foot prints from earlier. It's a hunch, but if we follow these tracks back it could lead us to Gentai. What do you think Angelo?" he looked at Angelo as he continued, "It just seems like an obvious place to be noticed by vulcans if it was on the mountain. Besides, if it was on the mountain would could of seen it already. So we could follow his track, stop where his double foot prints stop and look further in that area,"

[Burthstone]

Mayt chuckled, rubbing his face. "Nah, I can sleep later." He says simply, now standing up, indicating he thinks they should go, and talk on the way. "The only set of parents I really respected were my birth parents, the rest, well, I never got along with them. The differences between them and my birth parents were too great. I went from two criminals planning their next heist in their bedroom down the hall while I was sleepless in my bed. Followed by a pair of goodie-two-shoes. Honestly, I thought staying in the "Right" all the time was a boring place to live. But I get staying somewhat within the lines. The worse the crime, the harder they try to find the person who did it. As far as the guild goes, of course something happened. What person with a normal past would go to a place filled with adventurers and people who do mercenary work?"

Mayt rolls his shoulders as he heads back to the road, keeping within earshot of Sasha, if moving a bit rushedly. "And, while I do want to rest, when really should do it later. Every minute we wait people edge closer to death right? We're their first hope, hopefully not their last, and they should be able to depend on us. And, no offence, but I'm not riding anything that was purchased or hired in a city with a epidemic running through it." He draws his sword, spinning it a couple times in one hand, then placing the flat of it against his other hand, running his thumb against the blade. He mutters something about the edge being a tad dull and re-sheathes the weapon. It's obvious the blade is very important to him.

valid point, however that's what the job request said. to get rid the Vulcans and they usually hang out in a high place but if we follow the tracks we can find him and ask where he wants us to get rid of the Vulcans since we cant go around killing any we see. For the time being we can follow the tracks, this is your element after all since I would not have noticed the tracks myself" Angelo said sadly knowing that he was no tracker or even a camper so when in the woods he wasn't all that helpful compared to his companion who noticed backtracked footprints so Angelo would let Wes lead for the time being until they got to the old mans hut and then Angelo would ask about the situation from him

"Okay, thanks, I'm going to need that extra eye of yours so help out there." After sometime of following the backtracks, Wes noticed that the tracks suddenly stop. "Looks about like it, Gentai from the looks of it jumped out of the path and went deeper into the forest. So let's split up not too far and see if we can fin his-" Wes noticed some light emitting from behind some vines within the forest, prompting Wes to investigate it further. Once he reached the the vines and moved them away, he could see some kind of treehouse or housetree. Either way, the tree seemed to have had a house built within it so it kept it's appearance of a tree more distinct. "Anyone there, we're mages who took you're job with the vulcans!"

There was some sound coming from inside that took about a minute to settle down. The door flung open revealing a a old man about 4 feet tall with plenty of hair grown all over his body and holding a bottle in his hand, the man stepped out giving a prideful walk with each step approaching the two mages and took a big gulp from his drink before speaking. "Yes, I am Gentai Chin and the person who sent the request." He said sounding somewhat drunk, "If you read the job, which I'm sure you already have, I need you to remove the vulcans that have intruded my mountain hut and make sure they don't return. And I don't ca-" Gentai coughed loudly as he tried to continue his instructions. "I don't care how they're removed, just as long as they're gone and stop bothering me. Any questions?" he asked while taking another drink.

Angelo followed Wes looking around for whatever signs of the hermits house they could find until the tracks stopped and Angelo thought they were lost until he noticed the light same as Wes to see the house tree understanding why the hermit would want to set up shop in a tree so it would look no different and could easily hid in plain sight. Angelo was skeptical when he saw the old man, your classic hermit look Angelo thought to himself. "you sure you can pay the money you offered?" Angelo asked already thinking that this hermit was looking for a free extermination from gullible guild members. the man already looked half drunk and Angelo wouldn't be able to tell if the guy would even remember paying if they did the job, Angelo was always helpful but he doesn't like to be taken for a ride if they do all the work and then not get paid for it. "do you also know where the nest is?" Angelo asked since it would be easier to make the Vulcans stop bothering the old man if they knew where the nest was so they could make their attempt to talk it out first

[MarshiestMallow]

Sasha stood up as well, nodding as he talked about the differences between the parents he had, supposing that going from criminal parents to ones following the line would be a big change. Sasha was okay with toeing the line-she had once had to steal food to get by, so she could understand. She pondered for a minute when he said What person with a normal past would go to a place filled with adventurers and people who do mercenary work? and she supposed that was true. In one way or another, they were all outcasts looking for a place to belong.

She smiled and nodded when he said about getting there as quick as possible, with people sick and dying. She had wanted to give him the chance to rest, but had been worried about the town itself, and was glad to be on the move. "It's best to get there quickly, I agree." She said, watching as he worked on his sword, Sasha had a knife that she always carried, and could throw it well, but she always used it as a last resort, rather then rely on it all the time. So she watched as Mayt sharpened the blade, and could see that he would be devastated if anything happened to it, and she hoped nothing would happen to it.

She fell silent as they continued to walk, looking about the occasionally, and referring to her map briefly, knowing they would be there at the city without sound in little over an hour. She didn't mind walking, it was quite enjoyable, especially with company, and she looked over to Mayt again

[Burthstone]

Mayt would be silent for a while, walking at a perfect beat, and he has a stone-cold look on his face. He's obviously a tad tired, but he seems intent. Like he's going to do this job, and he's going to do it well. His hand fidgets oddly eagerly on the hilt of his weapon, almost as if he wants an excuse to draw it. He doesn't glance at Sahsa once for half an hour, and at that time he starts breathing in and out slowly, trying to relax. He eventually stops for a moment and leans against something, anything, sticking out of the ground, putting his other hand to his temple. He pants heavily for a few moments before recovering, and he pushes he back up against what he was just leaning against.

"God. Hell. Ow. That was a mistake. Ngh." Mayt gasps out lightly. His skin is slightly flushed, and Sasha can see what he's leaning on start to heat up slowly. After a few moments he pushes off the object and stumbles back into the middle of the road, rubbing his temples. The heat field around him's temperature doubled, and he looks like he might faint for a moment. Sasha feels a burst of heat as he dispels the field. After a few moments he seems to recover, panting, and he looks apologetically over at her. "Sorry I was trying something, and, well, it didn't work, obviously." He straightens up, stretching a little. He stands still a moment, closing his eyes, as he re-creates his normal heat buffer. Once he has it back and under control, he opens his eyes, and motions to continue walking, giving her another apologetic look.

[MarshiestMallow]

Sasha watched Mayt as he walked, frowning as his breathing slowed, and as he stopped, leaning against a post, and she made a move towards him to see if she could help, and to see if she could see what was wrong. She was worried that he was going to hurt herself, doing whatever he was doing, and she bit her lip, looking about, then back towards Mayt, stepping closer, just waiting to see if he was going to fall or faint, or such on her.

She watched as he pushed himself back to the middle of the road, and she made to go help him, to offer support, when the heat seemed to intensify, and she cried out, stumbling back, away from that field of heat, panting herself. Her eyes were wide, paniced, and her skin had reddened, particular on her face, and bare hands and arms in response to the heat, and she stared at him, as he apologises. She swallowed, licked her lips, and said, "Maybe don't try it again for a while, okay?" She moved to take a bottle of water out of her bag, and handed it to him, "Drink" She said, her voice commanding, "So you don't dehydrate after that" She got another bottle out of her bag, taking a sip of it, and then running the water over her hands and arms, splashing her face.

It cold her immediately, and her normal temperature returned, for which she was grateful. Her skin colour softened, and she let out a soft sigh, "What were you trying to do?" She asked, hesitantly moving closer, "You're not still hot right?"

[Burthstone]

Mayt groaned slightly, moving back over to the post and leaning on it again, taking the water from Sasha. He drank about half the bottle in one go, before lowering it and closing it. "Thanks." He said quietly. He lets out a long, lud breath, his cheeks puffing out, and he turns around, looking up at the sky. "I was trying to see how much heat I could store around me, so while we were walking I gathered heat from the air. But that ended up being painfully slow, so I tried taking some heat from my body. And you know when you try to do something slowly, but you just put way too much commitment into the movement and you can't stop from going too fast? Basically that happened to me. And I sort of gave myself actual brain-freeze. Which is only slightly more pleasant than the one you get from ice and things like that." He rubs his head slightly. "And no, I'm just my normal heat right now."

He drinks the rest of the water, then puts it in a pocket on the inside of his coat, planning to refill it later if possible. "Maybe... Maybe we should take a break. If I pass out then I can't exactly do anything, right?" He gives her a meek smile, and then pushes off the post, moving a tad slowly to the edge of the road, where he sits down, legs extended. He leans his upper body back and plants his hands against the ground to hold himself up while he relaxes. He looks over at Sasha, and pats the ground next to him gently before returning to look at what he can see from here. He certainly looks better than he did a moment ago, but his skin is still a tad flushed.

[MarshiestMallow]

Sasha watched, making sure he drank, and making sure he wasn't about to fall down. She frowned as he described what he had hoped to do, and sighed as he said it was going to slow. She nodded in agreement to taking a brea, knowing Mayt would be useless if he was going to fall down, and not wanting to push him too hard. Friends didn't do that. So she sat down beside him.

"You have to be careful with your own body temperature" She said softly, "I'm naturally colder then most people, because of my ice abilities, but it took a while to get that way without feel as if I was freezing" She explained, leaning back, "Now, I feel normally. But I still love heat" She said with a smile, a soft laugh, "But you can't just go using your own body heat like that, you'll get faster at taking it from the air, with training, I'm sure" She said, "You might kill yourself otherwise, and that's just no good" She looked up at the sun, thinking that a half an hour break wouldn't be too dangerous for the people in the city.

"What about taking heat from fire? Do you think you can do that?" She said after a few moments, wondering about that, "It would be quicker, I imagine, then taking it from the air" She thought on that, looking up at the sun, "Even though its a warm day, it would still be difficult in taking it from the air. Have you ever tried effecting the air around someone else? The energy around them? That could be very effective, especially in a fight" She mused, falling silent and laying back, stretching out, resting her hands behind her head like a pillow.

[Burthstone]

Mayt was glad to relax for a bit, and he closed his eyes, leaning back next to Sasha, resting his hands on his stomach. "I just over committed. But I need to learn how to safely draw from myself, as it's the easiest source of many kinds of energy. And the only place I can draw from on a split-second notice," his voice was softer than it was before, indicating how tired he is. Maybe his magic is more draining than he was letting on, or the drop in body temperature really was devastating to him, mentally and physically.

Mayt shook his head when Sasha suggested fire. "I'd have to get too close, my abilities have very short range. And I can't draw in energy through my sword like I can exert energy through it. Though the heat outside the fire might be possible." He quieted as she spoke more, and chuckled lightly. "The air is more difficult to gather from when I'm moving, but if I get a moment to be still, like right now, I can gather it much quicker. But water is the hardest to get energy from. It's harder to warm up and it likes to hold on to the heat it has longer. I wear heavy clothes like this because they create heat that's close to my body and easy to access, and so make a good source of emergency heat. But," He muses, "I've never actually tried affecting another person, outside of stopping them from moving to protect myself. I might be able to, but again, proximity is a problem." He pauses for a moment, and Sasha would feel a little warm on the arm that's closes to him. "That's as far as I can reach right now, but if I touch you, I could potentially use it on your entire body. If I learned how to control magic as well, I could potentially shape the area I could control." He looks deep in thought.
