Kisa constrated. her long red pigtails flared with wires warped in her hair. Her entire body was covered in wires. they pulsed to life makeing her puppets danced ,and move. It was like a scence of out of a movie. the puppets each looking real along with their movements. The Engery usage was takeing it's toll. she could baarely move. she never controled so many at once before. it was almost time. .sheforced her now bleeding arm up ,and the puppets began to flaot in the air.

Neil watched her through a crowd as she did this, also watching the puppets as they floated in the air. Something, he wasn't quite sure what, intrigued him about what she was doing. As he watched, he tried to figure out what it was.

the puppets moved like they were simply blowing in the wind . with elengent strides she pulsed more energy in to it makeing them fall to the ground as the tree behind her began to crack. she was to committed to the performance to glance or hear the cracking. all she heard was the movements all she saw was her performance .

Neil didn't know if she had noticed the tree behind her yet, but he did. As he watched her, seeing if she would notice before it fell. If she didn't, he would jump in.

the cracking continued as she began to draw her puppets in to a circle. she panted slightly. the tree began to fall. she noticed. but could not move. she. yanked harder and continued on with the performce as her legs gave way.

Neil jumped to behind her and punched the tree, the wood shattering into small shrapnels. Prepared for that, Neil summoned a small cyclone of flames forward using his magic, wide enough that the flames wouldn't hurt the puppets or their master, but would burn the shrapnel. After they had all turned into smoldering ash, Neil expelled the flames and panted. He had kept it up for five minutes, something that was dangerous for him since he hadn't taken any food into his system to replenish hs magic energy. "Are you alright?" He asked, looking at the girl.

'' fine i guess . i can't move my legs.'' she finished the performance . having all the puppets fall in front of her. '' the wire s began to.dift off of her .'' exhausted, need to pack up.''

Neil knelt down beside her. "Then let me help. Just tell me what I need to do." He would definitely need instructions for what to do so he didn't mess anything up.

'' okay here are my instructions, they must be followed as good as you can . there is three black trunks behind the trees. pull them around. then carefully finish disentangling the string from me. then gently pick up the puppets one at a time. make sure the trunk is open. there is white packing paper. one at a time stick the puppets in . make a list of any repairs that need to be made. that should be it. thank you very much''.

Neil took a moment to let the instructions sink in and then nodded an okay as he began to do as he was told. Carefully he untangled the strings from around her, then put them away as he was supposed to. "There. Now do you need me to carry these to where your staying?" He was feeling incredibly generous today and wanted to make sure she would be okay.

(so sorry for the late reply )

kisa looked at you weirdly . '' i wasn't planning on staying in town , so i never made reservations. i thought i could handle the amount of puppets. i was wrong. i was sure i had the show down.'' she bit the top of her thump.'' then again i only practice with a few .''

"Oh. Well, I rented a room in town so you could stay there and I could heal your wounds for you." Neil offered.

(Its alright.)

'' heal me she cocked her. if i heal every time i screwed up i wouldn't learn anything. i suppose i should this time.give me a few minutes it will take a while for my legs to work.'' she looked like she was soaking . '' i am pretty much useless right now.''

"I guess that's true. But it is good to heal up after after something that strenuous. But I can wait." Neil said, sitting down in front of her, not taking his hood off.

'' thank you give me your arm i will pull my self up.'' she tried to stand , but fail down.'' my energy is exhausted. you wouldn't mind if i stayed with you right? i will be gone in the morning, or i will try to be.''

Neil offered her his arm. "I don't mind. I'm just a traveler myself so I will be checking out of the inn tomorrow morning."

'' that is good thank you for your kindness people usually find me odd''. she turned her head down. she then pulled away forcing herself to walk right. she attached a set of three strings to her hands, and with the last of her energy pushed it toward her trunks. the trunks begin to move on their own. '' this is the least i can do .''

"I think we're all weird in our own right." Neil said, his hood still up to hide the unstitched part of his face next to his lips. Even though he was beginning to trust this girl, he didn't want to reveal it quite yet. She still could freak out after all.

she hummed walking beside him. her trunks gilded along the roof tops . she glanced . '' do you know when i first started i was horrible. an old lady taught me everything i know . sadly she died . the old lady was the only hope i had back then'' she looked at him , and then faced the front .

Neil looked at the guitar on his back. "My father was a great guitar player, in fact he Probably still is. He taught me everything I know about the instrument. Though I can't go back to him the way I am now."
