((True to that okay she is just doing what she normal does around the town and what not lol until we can kill her off or until she has to react with the inportant people))

"Thank you, Shiloh. Raziel....your fine....taking care of you is something that i don't mind so your nat a burden on me." she said as she tried to cheer him up, she stumbled over a root while she was walking. She was lucky she was holdding onto Raziel or else she would have been face first on the ground. "After we get a good distance away....i will have to rest." she said as she forced her breathing to remain normal even though it was hurtting her worse. She still pushed on, even though she was hurtting, her other arm was holdding her side, she thinks that she broke a rib but can't find out for now.

Raziel frowned when they both told him not to worry. "Let us rest soon," he said, nodding to them. The dragon passed it off as being himself that was tired. "I am weary." His red eyes moved from Lyna to Shiloh, and then back to the girl he helped support as she stumbled. Holding her even closer, Raziel watched her worriedly. "The two of you need rest as well."

((:XD So sorry for the short post. Finals week . . . and I'm out of imagination. :cry:))

Shiloh looked from one to the other. "Alright lets rest now then so that we can keep up our strength. And lets hope that no one had followed us." She couldnt get that over whelming feeling out of her system. There was something wrong as if there really was someone following them. She couldnt move very well but she would protect them if need be. All the cuts were taking their toll on her now. Her body couldnt move unless she wanted to feel pain which was what she was hiding as they walked. Having cuts all over her body didnt make it easy for her to move without pain but she did it anyways making sure that she didnt show them. They would have stopped if she had. They wouldnt have said that she was the most fit if she had shown it. In truth what Lyna had said was right. She was ready to pass out at any point. "We can start another fire. Theres enough twigs here to last us however long we need." She collected some of them and started the fire using two rocks. She then sat at the trunk of a tree and sighed from trying to relax.

((Its totally cool Esmme. Too well on your finals k?

Besides everyone gets writers block so loosing your imagination is about the same thing. We all get it lol))

"Rest is....good. Do you have some pants and a shirt for me to wear, Shiloh?" she asked, hatting the fact that she was relaying on Shiloh a lot. She helpped Raziel to sit down, standing back up her self. It breathing was going a little bit easier on her, she handed some leaves to Raziel for his wounds, seeing that some of them needed some more. "Here you need to put some more on your wounds." she looked down at the dress that Shiloh had given her, she felt bad that it was ruined now but it was bound to happen. She walked over to Shiloh, hugged her to show her that she was grateful for eveerything that she has done for them, she didn't hug tightly or for very long because of thier wounds.

Shiloh rummaged through her bag. There was one more pair of pants and two extra shirts. She gave the bag to Lyna after she had hugged her. "Yeah theres a pair in there and two shirts to choose from... Take your pick" The dress she had given Lyna was ruined but she didnt mind at all. It was bound to happen anyways from all that had happened. She was just happy she could help her friend out again though it did seem like she was doing alot for them. She didnt mind one bit but she knew the others would be thinking of ways to either pay her back or ways to do their part. She didnt mid doing what she had been doing to keep them safe, she just knew what they were thinking in the way of pride of doing their part. She didnt blame them at all. All of them were hurt just as she was.

"Thank you for everything, Shiloh. You should tend to your other wounds also." She said as she took the bag from her, smiling. She walked a few ways into the tress and began to change her cloths, she winced and bite her lip from that pain. She looked over her body before she stuck her shirt on, both her sides were nothing but a giant bruise. She ripped the dress up into strips, wrapping her sides and chest up pretty good, bitting her lip from the pain. Tears were streaming down her face, she knew some bones were broken but there was nothing she could do about it. She made sure she put some herbs on her cuts and bruises and wrapped them up, and that some herbs were under the bandages around he ribs and chest. She finished getting dressed and walked back over to the others. She smiled, she was feeling a little bit better but she was still having breathing problems, the tight bandages didn't help her either. She handed the bag back to Shiloh, the dress she was wearing was in strips, some were handed to Shiloh the others she used on Raziel and his wounds.

Raziel nodded and took the herbs from Lyna, applying them the same way she had earlier. He watched as the woman slipped off to change, and turned his gaze to Shiloh for a moment. He was silent for many minutes before speaking. "You're strength is appreciated," the youth said quietly, flexing his large wings. "We are lucky to have you with us."
Of course at that moment Lyna returned. The male's red eyes scanned over her, and a slight smile spread across his face. Luckily he was recovering just enough to keep his dragon-side down . . . though he could feel it waiting for an opportune moment to strike. Reaching a warm hand up to touch Lyna's fingers, Raziel blinked slowly. I'm lucky to have the two of you.

Jarlaxle lounged about in the shadowy tree's branches, laying against them as he waited. It would do no good to take them all at once. His single blue eye kept lingering on Shiloh, and the dark elf had to keep forcing his thoughts back to his job. He wasn't here to check on them. He was here to bring Raziel back to Starlyn - dead or alive.
Brushing his hat off of his head, the drow sighed silently. Not long now. Not too much longer before he would strike.

Shiloh nodded her head to Raizel as she watched Lyna walk away and change. She was greatful to be here. If it wasnt for this group she would just be some kind of lost traveller. She didnt like what she could have been if she hadnt gone for that walk and came upon a bunch of mercs and a boy and a girl running. She liked what was happening in her life. For once she was needed and could remember many things. "Its either this or travelling alone without making friends. I like having friends now and i will protect you two till the end." She said in response to Raziel. That was when Lyna walked out with the strips of Shiloh's dress. She took the ones that Lyna gave her and started to wrap up all of her wounds that were noticeable... She sorta looked like she was dressed in ribbons afterwards.

Lyna couldn't help but feel like she had walked into a conversation that wasn't meant for her ears. She smiled when he touched her fingers, she made sure to wrap the bullet wounds up even if she couldn't get the others. She looked him over to make sure that there wasn't any other wounds that she had missed. "Who gets frist watch?" she asked them after a while, knowing they all needed sleep but someone has to keep an eye out for Mercs. She sat down and leaned against Raziel, being careful not to bump any of hers or his wounds.

"Ill do the first watch. You two get some sleep. Lyna.. I have been wondering this since i saw you getting kicked. Did they break any of your ribs?" Shiloh asked thinking about what might come during the night. She would stand guard for them at night. She would protect them like she had said. What she hoped was that no mercs came though she knew that was almost impossible. Right now though she was worried about how hurt Lyna might have been.

((Woot. Almost time for more action. :boogie: Hahaha))

Raziel shifted and wrapped both of his arms about Lyna, forcing the dragon out of his mind. Leave me be, you cur. It was time for rest, not betrayal. "I'll take second watch," he said then, smiling slightly as Shiloh volunteered to take the first.
Resting his head back against the tree behind him, the youth listened as Shiloh asked about Lyna's wounds. At her words, he let his hands slip from around her slightly, and he looked her over.
"Was anything broken?" he asked, repeating Shiloh's worries.

"Just a few but nothing major." She said as she actted like her broken ribs were nothing, she answered both of them. She got more comfortable, smiling at them, she couldn't help but feel like there was something off. "I am fine." she said as she tried to reasure them further, she knew that they were worried about her. There wasn't much she could do other than what she was doing right now. She put her hands over Raziel's, feeling like she was safe since before her home was taken away from her. She closed her eyes, looking as if she were asleep but was actually listening very closely to what was going on around her.

((I dont know what to write so ill just wait for Raziel to go to sleep and for Jaraxle to attack... Well that is if he does attack))

Raziel watched Lyna get comfortable, slowly relaxing a bit. "We need to get her taken care of," he said quietly, slowly linking his warm fingers with hers. The youth allowed many minutes to go by before he let out a small breath. Looking up to Shiloh, he nodded in appreciation. "If I don't awaken, please wake me just before midnight. We can split the shift into halves - unless we want Lyna staying up as well."
Smiling slightly, he rested his head back against the tree's trunk, sighing. It wasn't long before he drifted into sleep - he'd used enough energy to fall asleep quickly.
"Good evening," he whispered, yawning.

((Oh, Jarlaxle will pop up eventually. ;)))

Raziel said that they needed to take care of Lyna. He was right. If she wasnt taken care of, the ribs that were broken could easily plung into her hear or lungs given the right momentum. Shiloh didnt want that to happen. "I dont want to take any risks. Ill wake you up around 1 or 2 so you can have your shift. Lyna you rest and make sure nothing comes towards those ribs of yours. Like i said, i dont want to take any chances." Shiloh was feeling like she had everything down pat. Everything was under control now that Raziel was feeling better only she knew they werent. Infact, it was the exact opposite. Everything was in chaos right now. Lyna was extremely hurt even though she didnt want to admit it. Raziel was in no shape to fight and it was a miracle that he was holding back his dragon side for this long. Shiloh was in pretty bent up shape too from the constant headache to the cuts all over her. She was the most fit out of all of them. She was the one that was going to have to fight if anything came near them with hostile intentions. If Raziel fought there would be the possibility of the dragon side coming out and neither the enemy nor Lyna and herself would be safe. If Lyna fought there would be a possiblity of her getting killed with a slight touch to her chest. All of this ran through her head as the hours went on. THe forrest seemed peaceful, there were still no crickets and no birds. Everything was quiet which was what made everything so unnerving about where they were. Once it hit 2 o'clock she went over to Raziel and shook him awake. She had let him get his rest. Now it was his turn to watch. "Raziel. Its 2.. Your watch.. Please be careful"

((Sorry, I'm going to snag that last bit before it happened. ;)))

Just before Raziel's watch hit, Jarlaxle sauntered into the shadows near Shiloh, his black hand reaching out to stroke her cheek. "You look like you're in pain," he whispered. The dark elf raised a pale eyebrow, shifting his eyepatch from one eye to the other before glancing at the two sleeping individuals. For a moment, there was silence.
"I'm sorry, Shiloh." Bowing his head for a moment, the black-skinned elf sighed. And then he reached up and touched her cheek again - this time it left a bit of a freezing line. "Sleep well tonight. You three will need the head start."
Fading back into the shadows, Jarlaxle turned his back on the group. I will give them time.

Raziel shifted, glancing up at Shiloh in irritation before his red eyes narrowed. Realizing what was going on, he inclined his head, moving carefully away from Lyna and getting up. "I will remain awake for the rest of the evening," the dragon said, his wings folding behind him. His red eyes moved from Shiloh to Lyna, and he growled softly.

Shiloh froze when her cheek was stroked by Jaraxle. She hadnt woken up Raziel yet and her breathing sped up a little bit. She wasnt going to move knowing that he could kill her with one stroke of his other hand. He stroked her cheek again and told her to get a good rest for a head start. This worried her a bit. She finally started breathing normally when Raziel woke up. He was snarling. "If you wish you can rest and ill take the rest of the watch. Alright?" She tried to take away the look of being spooked but it wasnt working as well as she had planned.

((i ish sleeping until further notice lol))

((Im waiting for Esmme to respond lol
Strokes a sleeping Lyna))

((Ish responding. >__>' :lol:))

Raziel shook his head. "I'll stay up," he said, stretching his wings as he yawned. Forcing himself to stop growling, he moved to pat Shiloh's shoulder. He noticed her strange flightyness, and his red eyes narrowed. "What happened?" he asked, sniffing the air. Considering Jarlaxle's strange ways, he had found a way to keep his scent from the dragon. Raziel didn't sniff him out. "Why are you acting like this?"

Shiloh looked at him. "You growled at me when i woke you up. It scared me a bit. Im wondering.... nevermind Thank you for taking the shift. We will have to leave early to try and get a head start if there are any mercs coming." She went over to a tree and laid down to rest. She looked like she was going to sleep easily but in truth she was only pretending. She couldnt help but think about Jaraxle. She was resting just not sleeping. He wouldnt leave and as her eyes were closed all she could see was him whipping her which made her jump a little bit. He had said he was sorry but that didnt stop her from knowing he was here. She wanted to wait for him to attack though she probably should have warned Raziel.

Raziel grunted, shaking his head. Moving to stand in the middle of the clearing, he stretched his wings out to their full length, letting the moonlight shimmer off of this gold scales. Watching Shiloh lay down, the dragon snorted, shifting a little more. He felt . . . cramped, like he'd been shoved into a small space for far too long. That was what happened when Raziel controlled the beast for too long. And after all these years, the creature wanted a bit of reign.
Only if you listen to me.
Shimmering lightly, Raziel's humanoid form sparkled and suddenly shifted. Instead of a human, he was now a dragon. The only part of him that remained normal was his mindset, which suddenly began to struggle. It was the thoughts of Lyna and Shiloh that gave him the strength to keep himself as Raziel.
Slowly lowering himself to the ground, the dragon let out a large sigh, letting his head rest on his claws as his red eyes watched over the two women.

Jarlaxle watched the group in silence, wondering when the best time to strike would be. When he saw the dragon in the clearing, he cursed quietly, knowing it would be best for him if Raziel was human. Looking to where Shiloh lay, his gaze narrowed. He wasn't quiet sure what he felt for her. Yes, they were strong feelings. But were they positive or negative?
Shaking his head, the dark elf leaned back against the upper branches of the tree he resided in, sighing. Alright, I'll wait.

((Ok now we have to wake up or something))

((:lol: Good idea. :yes:))

Raziel waited until the morning sun was beaming softly down on them before moving from his spot. Carefully lumbering over to nudge first Lyna, and then Shiloh, the golden dragon let out a thrum of contentment. As of yet, Raziel had been able to keep the dragon's instincts under control.
"It'sss time to eat breakfast," his grating voice was low, almost soft as it bounded about the clearing. His large serpentine head bobbed as he motioned toward the small fire he's started as an animal of some sort roasted. "We should move sssoon."
Avoiding stepping on either of his friends, the dragon moved to the other side of the fire before closing his read eyes tightly, forcing himself into a smaller form. Raziel's human form stood in the beast's place a few seconds later, rolling his shoulders and making his wings rustle. The sound of him shifting sounded . . . well, painful. But after gritting his teeth, Raziel seemed to calm. He ate less as a human anyway.
Looking over to his friends, he motioned them over. "Let us eat."

Shiloh got up from where she was 'sleeping'. She was tired but she didnt show it. It was good that Jaraxle didnt attack but she knew he was still around. She came over and ate the breakfast with the now human Raziel. "So the watch was good i suspect." She didnt like the painful sound he had given off but she wasnt going to say anything about it. She looked aroud before she sat by the fire that had the food with it.
