Rosa smiled through her embarassment and nodded, clumsily climbing the stairs, her taloned feet once again causing trouble. Once she made it to the bathroom and closed the door she let out a long exhausted sigh, she wasn't used to being treated kindly and it was putting a weight on her mind. "First actual bath in years, and my mind is shot already.." She shrugged the tattered clothes she wore off and carefully climbed into the tub.


{There's no set lore or anything, just jump in however. Sorry for the late replies, had a busy day}

Elemeno sat down on a sofa in his living room and closed his eyes to sleep.

*Sindri walks through the forest, well, it started as a walk, now, well... He's lost. As we wanders about he eventually spots the small house of in the distance and pause. Could there be bandits out here? Or worse? He shakes his head and slowly, almost sneakily approaches the building in a large semi circle. He eventually notices the door and starts whistling a quiet tune. He also starts feeling very... Apparent, his bright clothing obviously aren't the best items for being stealthy, after a moment he decides he may as well just walk over to the door. He keeps one hand on the hilt of his longsword, after all, maybe there are bandits around here and yet he saw no sentry, then he knocks on the door.

El was woken up by the sudden knocking. It had to be because of the woman upstairs... Nobody had knocked on that door for years, then he takes a harpy home and only half an hour later there's a knock?
He grabbed a sword from above the mantle then opened the door.
"Can I help you?" he asked, making sure the man could see he had the sword.

That had to be the best bath shes ever taken she thought, which was very true considering the few rainy days she got to bathe in previously. "So wonderful to be clean!" She climbed out of the tub, dried herself off with a few wing flaps, and began shuffling through the sack of her belongings she had been smart enough to bring with her. She could hear the commotion downstairs, but thought little of it as she pulled out the clothes she wore years before she moved into that town. A well made tube top shirt with delicate accents, and a flowing skirt that covered most of her legs. She grinned as she pulled on both, happy that they still fit perfectly. Looking into the sack once more at the rest of her garments, some family jewelry of silver and opals, she thought it best not to wear such things yet. She tied the sack closed and then left the bathroom to peek down the stairs at whatever was happening.

*Sindri steps back at the sight of the blade and raises both his hands, his cloak is pushed open for a moment and you might spot the hilt of his sword.* "Ah, ehem... Well, yes. That you can." *He quickly takes a second to study the man in front of him, then speaks:* "Well, you see I'm not from around these part... And I might be a little lost. Now I'm not sure what time it is, but I'm afraid that by the time I make it back to... That place you call a town, it'll blacker then night and I'm not in the food for running away from masked men. So yes." *He scratches his head then offers a small smile.* "A forester such as yourself wouldn't mind me staying the night here? Even if in..." *He cranes his neck to the right, checking to see of there's a shed.* "Well, I suppose a shed or barn the structure..."

((*mood, not food.

"Do you have anything made of silver?" he asked and leaned his sword against the wall, "aid you have anything made of silver, you keep it outside and don't you dare touch me with it or I will kill you so fast that your head will be on the floor and you won't even know it."
It was a pretty substantial threat from a 14 year old.

Rosa stayed where she was, feeling it was safer to stay out of the way in case the two clashed. She took a seat on the top step and watched silently, preening her now clean and shining feathers contently. A good bath was just what her poor wings needed, though still bare in a few spots they looked much more healthy than before, maybe even well enough to fly.

*Sindri frowns. "Lad, are you all alone out here, maybe you've some parents.... *He trails off, but seeing the lads hard look he unties his coin pouch tosses it to the ground.* "All my silver, you can have some if you'd like, seeing as you're lettin' me stay for the night."

((Not sure if my last post appeared. SO I'll repost:

"Did you not hear me?" he stepped away from the bag, "Don't let it near me. No silver is allowed in this house," he grabbed the sword and used it to push the bag further away, towards the porch steps.

With a slight frown she began thinking of her own silver jewelry, it would probably be best to hide it somewhere not inside the house. She silently went back to the bathroom and retrieved her sack, then proceeded out the nearest window and out into the forest. She slipped the sack into a hollowed tree trunk and hid it with leaves and branches, then marked it with a few feathers that held her scent to ward off pesky animals that might try to mess with it. "If they get taken.." Her mind went a little nuts with terrible thoughts, she then slipped back into the cabin and returned to the stairs and sat back down.

*Sindri raises his arms inoffensively and eyes the young man.* "No Silver it is, perhaps copper pennies, either way, I must thank you, this easily beats a night in the woods, with gods nows what things prowling about."

"Anything except for silver," he put the sword back on it's rack, "Just so you know, I've got a harpy as my house guest as well."

She raised a feathered and clawed hand and waved at the human, not too thrilled to be around one again. Seems no matter where she went, there would always be humans nearby, she just had to accept that once more. She didn't move from her spot on the stairs, not wanting to get close to the human that made Elemeno a little upset just moments before.

*Sindri frowns.* "A harpy... Hm, no matter." *He peers over at Rosalinda, it would seem he's never seen one before.* "Well... Aye, no matter at all." *He brushes unseen dust off his shoulders and nods smartly to the other "human".

El looked up to Rosa, "Would you like something to eat?"
