@Arthanus - I thought it was a good post!
Cecilia eyes lit up. "You sound a little like Samantha.. though she was more of a take charge sort of woman.. and didn't need me to be confident - though as people started to look up to me, so did she." Slowly she stood up and shrugged lightly. "I never did understand what people saw in me though. Sam said it was this 'undeniable light,' like I was some sort of beacon of hope for everyone.. I don't know, I just did what I thought needed to be done.." Taking a deep breath, she then smiled to Kali, giving her a thoughtful glance. "Regardless.. I am glad it is you who stuck by me thus far. I will do what I can to help you become the warrior that I see you becoming.. there's a lot you can learn from her Cord." She gestured to the bow, implying that the bow could somehow teach Kali techniques of some sort. "For now, let's find an inn.. let you rest." Biting her lips lightly, she turned to lead the way confidently.
In Lakewood, a nearby town..
Cecilia stood in front of the Lion's Den, the only inn the town had to offer, but despite it being in the late afternoon - it seemed to be bustling with activity. Though not overly crowded as one might imagine at night, there was still plenty of talk, that it's sounds floated outside the door. The goddess glanced back to Kali with a soft smile and pushed the door, walking inside the wooden building. Though Cecilia had a presence that was not easily ignored, most of the bystanders could not hope to guess 'what' she was and thus only gave her a few moments of a stare before returning to their conversations. Cecilia was glad for this, never one wanting to draw attention in her modesty, and took a seat near the corner. Though she was certainly of a darker tone than most of the patrons of the tavern, she didn't stand out as much as one might think, leading to the waitress asking her causally what they both wanted to drink - the goddess simply asked for any juice they could find.
However, before too long, a fire-hair woman had started to wander over to the pair. She smiled, though it was more of a smirk as she leaned against the back of an empty chair. "Hello ladies.." she began, winking specifically to Cecilia which spurred a blink of surprise from the goddess. "What is a beautiful thing like you doing in this small town?" The redhead wasted no time in inviting herself, sitting right next to the goddess and leaning just slightly in as she reached out to play with a single strand of the goddess' hair. The woman seemed fairly attractive herself, though she dressed more or less like a bard, a flute tied to her waist - and she was not shy.
Cecilia on the other hand, even despite her station, flushed softly and pulled back just a bit. "Um.." Her gaze went over to Kali, wandering what the archer would do, almost looking to her for aid. ".. just.. visiting.. looking for work." It would almost be cute, the way Cecilia was beginning to blush, if she didn't also look slightly uncomfortable - though she didn't seem to mind the attention either, giving Kali a few mixed signals.
The bard seemed quick on her toes and pulled back, grinning widely. "Oh? I have some work you could do for me.. we'd need to discuss it in private though.. in my room upstairs, if that's not too troubling?" She gave Cecilia a wink, laying one of her arms over the back of her own chair and gently poking Cecilia's own chair.

As the noble woman continued to direct the survivors, she turned back as the orcs stopped cheering, watching one of the heads roll across the make-shift arena. Silas challenged them but before long, they had all started to turn tail, leaving the men around her cheering and smiling in relief - while others still yet mourned for the dead. She herself let out a sigh in relief, having not felt she was fit for taking such a leadership role, not able to pass the mantle back to Silas and Dixon. Despite the sudden turn of events, men were still coming to her however, asking what to do or where to make camp. Truth be told, this surprised the martial artist, but she kept her head and directed them to pull back a little and make what arrangements they could for the fallen.
While on the other hand, her attention turned to Sonya, who looked equally relieved and somewhat exhausted, but alive. For that, Odessa was eternally grateful. She had kept her promise and saw the masked woman through the worst of it, she figured, and smiled with some amount of pride to herself. Asking Silas to keep the mage near her was a good call, she figured, especially since it meant that Silas was always her priority. Beyond that though, she allowed tingles to run down her spine once more as she remember the connection they had so clearly shared before - and even during - battle. Odessa knew what she had hoped for, as a potential outcome, but the idea of it ever happening was far from her reality and lived only as daydreams. Still, in some ways she reminded her of Ashley, though the soldier was far more forward and seemingly confident. Was Sonya as confident? Perhaps so, but only time would tell.
Still her eyes gazed across the field as several of the men went about different duties. Obviously the most notable were the dancer, who was helping Silas, the knight, who distanced himself (and didn't care much for the dancer), a solider talking to one of the healers, the man with the strange fire weapon, and then obviously Silas and Sonya. Though Dixon was to be counted as well, she had not seen him do much besides protect that one woman during battle. Still, she wondered if Silas had taken notice of the select few, besides his own unit. In truth, she was anxious to talk with him, seeing as a lot of the men seemed to be going to her in the wake of victory.
I have nothing funny to contribute. Only that Odessa would smirk and enjoy the show... maybe break out the popcorn. xD Though tease her about Sonya and well.. xD
@Arthanus - Yeah, well... =P
Odessa let out a sigh as she studied Stefano, glancing at the on-going battle between the chieftain and Silas - she was impressed as the others, but she had already been in battle with the man, so she was a bit more familiar with his level of skill, so her focus was elsewhere at the moment. Looking over to the side at the supposed knight that Stefano had mentioned, she pursed her lips in disappointment as the man yelled at the woman (though she couldn't make out the words) and marched over, ordering his own people to make preparations. 'For hell's sake..' she muttered mentally before her attention finally made it to Sonya as she explained the tactic once more.
Straightening her back, she quickly realized no one else was going to take command of the situation (in Sonya's case, incapable of it). "All right," she spoke pointedly. "Keep an eye on Silas just in case something goes wrong. That's your focus. Sonya, flood the fields between us and the orcs if that happens, but keep your total focus on helping Silas right now.. I'll round up the men and get them ready to move on at a moment's notice.. but we'll need that flood - since I'm unsure if the knight is willing to brave his lance for the people's defense.." She paused, shrugging to the pair. "Maybe he will, maybe he won't. Anyways, keep your focus and let me worry about the wounded." It felt a tad unusual, but Odessa fell right into giving commands, despite that she didn't feel like she should have to. To add to it, she trusted Sonya probably more than she should, but she had a keen feeling Sonya knew how to take care of herself in her absence - she only hoped that the masked woman wouldn't take this sudden turn of events as her breaking her promise.
Regardless of her feelings, she left Stefano and Sonya to their tasks while she quickly started to call able men to her side. Taking charge, she ordered them to start gathering all the wounded while still treating them as best as they were able - explaining that this might turn into a retreat. Stefano's observations seemed right on the money, as many of them started to respond to her as if she were in a leadership role, having seen her fight alongside Silas - the champion who was fighting for their survival.
@Arthanus - Sorry, keep getting busy so I can't reply daily or anything. However I'll attempt to reply tomorrow... after class. =3
@KaiserFranz - That was a pretty crazy post! I liked it! xD
@Arthanus - Too true! Too true, lol... the funny thing about it is that SimpleD compliments my posts all the time. I can't imagine why. They're a great addition to this role-play I think.
