"That's the thing I don't know where I came from all I remember is waking up and being in the woods" she sisd. "But ummm my name is black arrow" she sisd holding out her hand. " what's your name" she siad with a smile. this person is friendly I wonder if there are others she thought

Delastarh was almost sleeping in his sitting position when people came in. He blinked a few times and stared at Maxwell, then Nina.

"Who's that?" he asked, rubbing one eye with the heel of his hand. "Is that Ezekiel?"

That was the most logical answer in Delastarh's mind. Why would he come back with a total stranger?

His gaze switched to Metaralis. He seemed to be more relaxed, now. With luck, he was slowly recovering from this infection. Now if only they could get that Voidler out of his body, everything would be great.

Maxwell seemed exhausted. he was breathing heavily and looked even more tired than when he left them. He shook his head.

"Unfortunatly, no, this is Nina, a human, just like us. I met her at the inn and, er..."

he rubbed his neck, visibily not at ease:

"I may, or may not had some problems back at the inn. So, i thought that it was batter for me to stay here, than there, see? I asked Nina if she could come with us, and it seems like she followed me." He looked at the gril with him, "Nina, this is Mr Delastarh Nagahoshi, and the... man there." He pointed at Metaralis, "Is Metaralis Outterridge."

He looked at the smaller man. He seemed better than when he left them. He somehow felt relieved. Now, Delastarh and Metaralis' company seemed amazing compared to what he witnessed at the inn.

Snapping from her partial consciousness, Nina lightly shook her head in attempt to shake away Frog's momentary control. For the first few seconds, she was able to hear Dela and Maxwell speak, but her sight was a bit fuzzy. She was able to recollect herself, but something did appear off with her before she came to..

Turning her hidden gaze to Dela, the girl smiled weakly..It had suddenly hit her, she certainly was exhausted. "Hey..." she softly replied as she brought her left hand up to press her palm into the forehead of her mask.."Ooh...I..I need to sit..." she added, her tone suggesting her current state and desperate need to rest. The girl stumbled her way to the nearest wall and turned to plop her back against it and slide down to sit on the floor. Her rifle slumped off her shoulder and fell at her side. Almost instantlt, a wave of relief washed over her..her eyes closed and she soon fell silent. At first glance, one would think she might of been afflicted as well, but the calm rise and fall of her chest suggested her breathing was normal..It was probably best that she'd be left to rest.

Seeing the other lady introduce herself and suddenly collapse asleep on the floor, Niya's head lifted from the bed in alert. Was she alright? She decided to check and be sure..Pushing herself away from the bed, the vixen crawled herself closer to the sleeping femme, stopping about a foot away to sit on her haunches. She watched closely, observing her breathing until she decided that she was okay. The girl crawled closer, coming to her side before lying down with her head resting in Nina's lap and her lengthy tails curling about her tightly curled form to rest over the other femme's legs in attempt to keep her warm..

"I'm Katherine, nice to meet you," she replied smiling back. "Do you..have any powers?" She asked out of curiosity. She wanted to know what the buzz was about these guys.

"Well, that depends" she says with a smile. "Joke I don't have powers" she says. "Do you have powers or are you human" she asked. "Cool name Katherine you seem like a nice person then the rest they just freak me out I try and fit in but I can't seem to find others like me" she says. "What's it like here in this place is it quite and nice do you like the woods I always loved the woods when I was little" she says with a smile.

When he heard Nina's voice, and the sound of someone collasping on the floor, Maxwell's head switched to see the girl on the ground.

"What the... Nina?!" he said in a rush. This situation reminded him of what happened in the tavern, when she suddently stopped moving and started speaking again. It was so strange, was that happening again. However, this time, she was breathing unlike the other time, it was different. Maybe, as Maxwell, she was simply too tired to stay awake.

The man was about to go and help her, but the vixen was qpeedier than him. He looked at the creature and the woman and shook his head. He needed some rest to, and even if he was hungry, sleep was more important, and the inn was... too full for him right now.

He looked at Sarydel who showed him an chair that wasn't looking confortable, but at least, he could sit somewhere. He went and sat on it and sighed.

"Even when we finally arrive to civilisation, i manage to have problems." he rubbed his nose and yawned. "I hope this will change soon."

"I'm a Half Ghost. But looking at you..maybe that other half is Human? Odd...And I have powers..but I don't really like..using them on others. As for the woods, they're great. But it's been getting a little dangerous lately with all the monsters coming out..."

She then slowly looked around, and then turned back to Black Arrow.

"Thing is...if these guys scare you so much..why are you still in the Tavern?" She asked with a chuckle.

"Well let's just say they scare me and I have no where to go right now" she said. "So like it's basically being weird so I'm just going to stay until it's over you know what I mean" she says laughing.

Tol's smile faded by the look Simon had gotten. "Ya don't seem to happy about the beast. Doncha worry, Simon, the bisonelk is not aggressive by nature" the dwarf briefly gave the boy's shoulder a pat before he nodded to continue. "We should be almost at the edge of the forest, the town should be visible from there" He walked in silence for a bit, seemingly in deep thought.
Biror suddenly turned around while walking, now walking backwards, he looked at Simon. "How old did ya say ya were?" He briefly looked between the two, nodding to Tol who gave Simon a brief smile, then facing the trees around them to let Biror talk now that he seemed more interested in the boy. The problem remained with Raan - he was stubborn when it came to accepting new people, a bit strange too if Tol were to describe him.
Biror, still walking backwards, let his eyes follow Tol as he passed him and caught up with Raan. Tol placed a hand at the shoulder of the darkhaired and pointed to something in front of them, he told Raan something in low voice which seemed not to please the darkhaired. Not even a minute after Tol pointed, did they all have clear vision over the moss and grass spreading fromt he forest out over an open area that continued to the city. The moss quickly seemed to vanish as the trees stopped, the grass too seemed to suffer the further away it was from the forest. It was not wonder to the dwarves, there were a desert on the other side after all.
Biror turned around so he was wolking the same was his body was facing, all while he looked carefully at Simon. It was as if he was trying to see something more to him that what first met his eye. "Ye're not an elf now are ya?" He scratched his beard, still confused over the being in front of him. In front Raan smacked a hand in the face of Tol whom was suddenly feeling tired, shown through a yawn. "I wish the others had come. Ther's an awful 'mount of wood" Raan shrugged before stopping, waiting enough for Biror and Simon to catch up. It would be better to walk together all four before they reached the eyes of the guards. Even though the guards did not do much, they were still there for a reason, and they always gave visitors such strange looks.

Taking a moment to stare down those within the tavern, especially the beasts who were eating, Dog smiles to herself. Content once again. Lifting a hand up as if she were holding a wine glass, "To this I honor myself, first, and for-mostly. To everything else, I wish a happy good afternoon." Laughing some, she tosses her mane of hair about, "I have no idea what time it is! That, doesn't matter though."

Tossing her hands upwards and curling them to the side, she kicked the nearest chair over and gave an affirmative nod to the poor snake waiter. Scooting off of the table with a small hope, she flicks her tail outward and draws her fingertips through the her fur, "You can pick that up when I'm gone, I believe in you." As she walked outside, "And to all those salty, salty beasts..." Placing a hand on the doorknob, she turns and looks over towards the Baron, "There's no chains on me." Her tone became dead, but she covered it up with a dainty laugh and a kick of her heel upwards, before spinning out of the tavern.

As Nina returned from her sleep-walking, Frog slowly drifted away. The femme's body was her own, but her shadow seem perturbed, but became solid once more. Frog stood in Nina's dreams, standing directly above her. Her featureless face leaned all the way down to the kitsune, rolling softly to one side, "What a gentle beast. A suitable companion for these...others."

Drawing a hand slowly towards the kitsune, Frog rotated the back of it to touch the kitsune's cheek, the empty, cold touch felt by the smaller beast if only so briefly. The light that shown in the room illuminated the absence around the limb's outline, where the light vanished.

Amidst the silence, the kitsune took her time to relax, taking in the calm that filled the room. Though, only for another moment. For she suddenly felt something caress her face, causing her ears to perk up high "Hmm?" the girl lifted her head, first looking up to Nina..Strange, she still appeared asleep and her hand was nowhere near her face. Looking to her left, she tried to spot whatever had touched her cheek in the general area of Nina's lap to see if there was perhaps an insect around..but there was nothing.

Deciding that it was probably nothing, the vixen rested her head back in the human girl's lap and lightly closed her eyes once more. She intended to stay with this group for the night. They had been through quite a bit in such a short time, she felt need to watch after them for as long as she deemed necessary and they needed their rest. Especially Meta. She remained alert for a while longer in case the previous 'presence' decided to make itself known again. If not, she'd fall asleep here with Nina.

Sombreplume didn't stop glaring at Dog as she walked out of the tavern. This wasn't good. Wasn't good at all. He was about to almost gather two more souls, even more than two, and this beast, this werewolf came and everything was wasted. And now he would waste the souls by eating them? Hell no, he would never ever let that happen.

He stood up and looked at Nazga.

"How sorry i am for what happened my friend. I promise i'll do something for you. More customers this week and a free repairing. I'll find something. But now i have more business to do." He said as he went, out of the inn.

Once he was out, he reached out his arms, where feathers began to grow and feathers were now surrounding him, becoming the same feathers ball he was when he met Nina. But this time, the ball became smaller until a big pitch black bird.

Now he had to be speedier than that werewolf and find the souls before it was too late. He disliked putting himself in danger like that but those souls were worth it.

Dog strolled the streets, in no particular hurry. Gesturing to the night, her lips pursed together, "For why rush to a good meal, when it can't escape you, O great wolf?" Smiling to herself, she stopped. Her chest lifted as she inhaled a deep breath. And in the night, when all the nice beasties were sleeping, cuddled together or rapped in cloths or snuggling their loved beasts, the wolf howled. The sound could be heard, but hardly disturbed those that had already forgotten.

Licking her lips, "Run along little bird, fly away home. Your house is on fire; your children aren't alone."

"I donno.." Katherine said slowly. "People might get suspicious if you sit here all night and not interact with anyone..if you're tired, you can stay at my place for a bit..but you'll have to leave before everyone else wakes up.."

"Trust me I have a great sense of when it's time to leave and now is a good time" she said as she got up but kept her hoodie on and walked out the travern. She sat on the ground right outside of the travern and took her hoodie off. "Well since you know I'm a girl I see no reason why I should keep my hoodie on" she said she kept her sword by her side just in case. "I'll be fine you should've head back before your people wake I just got to find people like me" she said getting back up and holding out her hand. "Well Katherine it was nice meeting you I hope our paths cross again" she said smiling

Oh well. It was worth a shot.

"See you! And good luck!" Katherine said, turning towards her home.
Hopefully, Blackarrow would find other humans.
Hopefully.

A soft groan was heard in the small room. Delastarh's attention was drawn back to the man in the bed as he slightly opened his eyes. The tall man froze for a second, not believing his eyes. Metaralis was awake!!

"Meta!" he exclaimed, jumping out of the bed to kneel closer to him. He took his hand in his. "How are you feeling?"

The shorter man groaned again, bringing his free hand to his forehead. "Th... Thirsty..."

"Yes! Immediately!" he said, looking around for something to drink.

He only found the cup of tea he left there with half of its content. Since there was nothing else, he grabbed it and brought it to Metaralis' lips.

"It's not water, but that should help."

Metaralis drank slowly the cold tea, panting afterward.

"Wha... What happened?" he asked weakly. "It... burns."

"It's okay. Just relax and rest. You'll feel better soon," De said, petting his hair.

Simon looked down at Tol, listening to his words. "If you say so...That makes me a bit happier." He smiled as he looked in the direction that the beast had gone, thinking more fondly on it. So it is a magnificent creature and it's a peaceful one too. Maybe I misjudged it initially...

He stood up again, nodding to the Dwarf. "Alright, lead the way again. Let's see what the town is like!" His eyes were happier but still displayed a degree of distrust in the outside world. He wasn't properly sure yet if he was going to accept this world or not. He looked down at the Dwarves again. "I'm 19... not that old for humans."

He stopped at the sight of the desert, shocked into silence. He wasn't used to having a desert next to the forest. As such he was in a bit of a stunned state when the Dwarf asked him the question about elves. He turned almost indignantly. "I am NOT an elf!" His voice conveyed an underlying dislike of the species which was only partially being displayed in his words.
