"Not at all," the Unai said as she slowly blinked. "And please, do not call me 'm'lady', I hold no rank other than hunter therefore it is not fitting. You may call me Batara." She was gaining herself quicker now with the thought that it was mearly a rogue he killed. Rogues were the only ones that were considered dead to an Unai tribe. Her face and eyes became neutral as she watched the male. He had proven himself to be capable of fighting and if he killed an Unai, even if it were any full grown Unai, that was still a task. She would have to watch herself, just to make sure that there was no foul play afoot even though she had been the one that followed him.

Jezzebeth yawned and ringed the water of her hair out.'Mm..'Jezzebeth said and then looked up to see a crowd of,Unai?Jezzebeth smiled,she wish she could run and have a conversation with one of them.Such wise beasts.She had never really seen one before but she knew enough about them hopefully.Jezzebeth sighed and sat down in the grass waiting for us all to head out.Then jezzebeth heard danzi ask the question,she laughed and spoke aloud.'Soon Danzi.'Jezzebeth said with a smile.

Danzi saw one of the Unai looking at jezzebeth.He didn't bother to give it a second thought,he got back down on all fours and started to rest.He wasn't woonded but needed time to heal.Growels started uproaring in his throat as him and jezzebeth talk.'Where do you think our next location shall be?'Danzi ask with curiousity in his voice.

"Alright, m'lady. Do you honestly think I would do anything to benefit you and encourage you to stay? After all, I am trying to get rid of you," Jason said, ignoring her request to be called Batara. His mind flashed back to the fight with the berserk Unai. The battle was just as bloody as the slaughter of innocents the enraged beast had done before and the images ran through his head as fast as subliminal messages. He remembered how he won, sacrificing his guard and a slash to the face to make an opening for him to stab the beast's heart. That was what gave the scar on his face. That's why it meant sacrifice.

Batara narrowed his eyes slightly as she said, "You know it is polite to introduce ones self to someone who has done the same. And for your information I do not leave a place unless I choose to do so." She was calm once again, she almost felt herself receding into her usual hunter persona. She wasn't really dangerous at that point, she was just reserved, concentrated and more serious. Which for this particular Unai, serious was an oddity at times. It was the fact that she could snap into her job like that that made her one of the elites, that and her fighting abilities were one of the best.

"Yes, but I guess I should repeat myself. I'm not here to give you what you want. I'm just doing what I can to make you leave me alone. I have archery practice and they don't particularly like visitors, especially ones who are of the same race of one who massacred a fair amount of our soldiers." Jason obeyed his eyes for a moment and took her appearance in, but kept himself from blatantly staring, lest he make it obvious.

A smirk came to her face, she was almost mocking him through that face. Her mind was going blank, almost like white noise was filling it. "Well then perhaps I could provide some form of entertainment, hmm?" If he was going to act this way then she could be just as disagreeable. His soft features seemed to completely contradict how he was acting, but then again it may be odd for one dressed such as herself to be a hunter. At least that was what some had told her and her brother while it was just the two of them travelling, that and the black smith's reaction from the town they had just left.

"This should be good," Jason said as he returned her somewhat annoying stare. 'Funny how something as a simple stare of curiosity can lead to something such as this. But it beats archery; something I already know how to do.' "Well, I'm waiting. What lovely game do you have in store for me? I'm all yours," he said with quite an obvious hint of sarcasm. It was probably going to be some hunting game the Unai taught their young or some stupid and pointless way to blow away time... Like stone, parchment, and knives.

Kayla smiled and then corrected herself," Oh sorry Unai." She looked at him with stinging brown eyes and said," Are you part of the few who do? Because I love it!" She put her hands in the air and ran over to her brother. She helped him dry off and then grabbed his hand. She was really bored and wanted to find someone to talk to. Of course there was Raiden who answered every question she asked, but he was not that exciting.
Haden finished drying himself and then walked hand in hand with his sister over to Raiden. The reason was because he was the only one that they had talked to.

((I'm gonna chill my posts for a minute so dear Esmme and Ameika don't have too much to read))

(( Haha alright... :D))

((:rofl: Hahaha, nice. ^_^ Thanks for the consideration! LOL))

Esmme smiled, watching as Kayla and Haden dashed about before talking once again. She felt so out of place - human. A silent wish then slipped into her mind. I wish I wasn't human. Frowning slightly, the dark-haired woman shook her head, and leaned against Raiden a bit more. I shouldn't be thinking such things. How many stories told of humans wanting something more, and going to trade their humanity to become Fae? They always lost something dear to them, and then were forced to live an eternity in torment. Be careful what you wish for.
Her brown eyes locked on the others, and Esmme forced such thoughts from her mind - with much difficulty.
-

Shusuke chuckled. "Where should we go next? Does anyone know of a haven large enough for . . ." he glanced around, and then frowned. "All of us." Wow. We grew.
His silver eyes then locked on Lyna, and he ended up scooping her into his arms. "Excuse me, M'lady. You seem ready to fall over." The tall "human" cleared his throat, tossing his hair out of his eyes. "Do you mind me carrying you?"

Jezzebeth heard the question and looked over.'We can always travel up to the south in the mountains.If you all trust Danzi and I we can give you rides to the top of the mountain.They have healing properties,and food at the top of the mountains inwhich the dragons left long ago.'Jezzebeth said as a frown danced around her lips.

Danzi looked at jezzebeth and was surprised she had even remebered the mountains.He sighed and let this take its course and watched.

"It might be the best choice," Shusuke said, glancing at the others. "Does anyone have a problem with going to the mountains?"
-

Esmme shook her head instantly, feeling excited. She didn't want to go home. If anything, she was more than ready to disappear. Especially if it was with the Fae - there were so many different things going on! She couldn't go home now. She didn't want to.

Kayla jumped when the guy started to speak. Then she turned and listened to him. Kayla said," Oh, mountains, I am in!" She smiled and turned to her brother, making sure he would say the same thing.
Haden smiled at his sister and nodded his head. There was two reasons he agreed with her, first he loved the mountains, and second, he did not want to get hurt again. He looked around him at all of the people. Were they all going to go?

“Do I look that bad?” Lyna said to the man as she began to worry about her appearance for the first time in her fea life, she slipped from his arms and moved over to the water to look at her self.

She did look like shit, better yet she looked like she was about to die, the thought of dying just brought tears to her eyes. She placed both her hands on her face as she looked at herself, she never looked this bad, not from what she could remember anyways.

Maybe I am dying….. She thought to her self as she still gazed at her horrible reflection, she wiped the tears away as she tugged her hood lower over her face and the cloak tighter around her body, hiding herself even more then she was already.

“Am I really that bad looking at the moment…..” she whispered, her voice was barely audible above the wind as she moved back to stand next to Shusuke, as for how she found the strength to stand and walk at the moment was beyond her.

Jezzebeth smiled.'Its been awhile since iv'e had people ride on my back,I miss it.'Jezzebeth said in a excited tone.Her last dragon keeper had died from old age.She lived a fair life,and best out of it all she was the first girl dragon keeper.Jezzebeth smiled softly looking out over the crowd to see who is coming and whos not.'So..Whos riding Danzi and whos riding myself?'Jezzebeth asked as her ears twiched.Jezzebeth brushed her hair over her ears.

Danzi started to get up again.'Lets get everyone together now and go.'Danzi said in her mind.To others he sounded like he was groweling.Danzi had never met someone who could understand him except for dragons,and dragon keepers.Danzi stretched his long body and looked around.This was going to be alot of work but he could handle it.

((XP I try))

"If you think that I am offering you a chance to learn the Unai way of fighting you are sorely mistaken," Batara replied boredly. "Your kind has yet to prove yourselves capable of fighting techniques taught to those even 13 years of age." She was taunting him essentially, showing him that humans weren't the only ones that were capable of being rude. "But your kind does seem easily wriled up by my own. What would happen if an Unai suddenly appeared in your midst? Hmm? And believe me, a trained hunter is much more of a threat than a rogue." Her eyes narrowed further as she challenged this male. She was going to see just how far she was able to push him.

Raiden looked at Esmme for a moment, not saying anything about the water question at the moment. It seemed rather irrelevant at the moment anyway. When they were talking about the mountains and riding the dragons that's where the male sighed. "The mountains would be fine, but I would prefer to keep my own four feet on the ground if that is alright with you graceful dragons," he bowed his head slightly as he spoke. He may not have known much about the species but he knew of their grace and dignity.

Jason still kept a smile on his face, ignoring her attempts at taunting him. "I would not pay any mind to it if a Unai hunter appeared amongst the people of the kingdom I live in. I wouldn't even mind if it was a rogue, but I will attack anything if they attack my people, rogue or hunter. I don't hate a species because of their appearance but of their history. I will slay a demon on sight because I know that they would rape our women and slay our children without a second thought. The fact that I haven't attacked you proves it," he countered and still gazed at her eyes. Jason was an angry person, but this insult didn't bother him a bit since she had nothing to back up her words.

So this one is going to be a tad more difficult to aggrivate than Raiden or the others, Batara thought amusedly. She sat up for a moment so that she could turn and lay on her side while still facing the male. "I have noticed your use of judgement though your manners and chivalry could use some improvment," she stated bluntly as her elbow propped itself on the dirt, her head resting on it. "And you may not act in such a manner but humans are brash, impulsive creatures. What is to say that another in you village would not hold back like you would?" This was one of the big things that got the female in much trouble back in the tribe. Her tongue, claws, and weapons were all as sharp as one another. Her mind though, at times didn't seem to work as quickly as her mouth. It was extremely easy for her to get into trouble because of it. If it wasn't for the fact that her and her brother were a team and hunters, she didn't know what the tribe would have done with her.

Kayla smiled at the dragons and Raiden and then said, "We would like to go on all fours also." She smiled at her brother, she was ready to go into her wolf form. She loved to be a dog, it was better then being anything else. She wasnt a vampire, a Unai, but a dog or warewolf if you wanted to be harsh about it. Kayla looked around her to see if they were ok with her and her brother changing into there warewolf form.
Haden smiled happily at his sisters comment. He loved to run around on all fours, they went faster, and it was much more fun then stumbling over two clumsy feet.

Jezzebeth looked to the male that just spoke.She nodded.'You do not need to call me by anything except Jezzebeth.'She said as she watched the male bow his head.Jezzebeth sighed.'Would you be able to keep up?'She said with a normal tone.She had a passion for wolves I guess you could say.They where wild,and free and that is what motivated her every day to keep moving and travel.

Danzi sighed.It wouldn't be that hard after all.Relief filled Danzi at this thought.He was a old dragon but at the same time a very young one.Danzi looked to Jezzebeth.'I would like to leave soon.'He growled at jezzebeth.Danzi enjoyed the hot springs up in the mountains that had healing properties and so forth.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't know you meant humans in general. You are correct though. Not many would hold themselves back from attacking you. Many are slow to adapt to things they don't see as normal and will usually try to kill or destroy whatever that new thing is. That's just the curse of being human and an ignorant one," he said and watched her change position. Granted she did it for reasons of comfort, but he didn't mind the view. "Surely your kind, as any other, has its drawbacks as well, right?"

Batara chuckled slightly, the male seemed to be calming down some, becoming maybe even slightly tolerable. "We are but wild animals and like all we do have some sort of drawback," she assured him, though what these drawbacks were she did not say. There were many things that could go with that statement but as for right now it did not seem wise to freely give out such information. Her brown eyes softened slightly as she felt that she wouldn't have to jump at his throat any time soon. At least that seemed to be the vibe he was giving off at the moment. She could be civil as long as he was.

Jason felt a few of the emotional barriers crashing down and he softened up quickly. After his past lover stabbed him, he put up a few of them to cover his gullible and caring side to keep those who were shallow from seeing. The Unai girl was different so maybe it would be safe to lighten up. "You don't seem very wild to me. Unless you go berserk like the rogues," he said and chuckled to himself. It had been a long while since he had laughed, no matter how small, and it surprised even him. 'Maybe it would be nice to get to know her. She has earned it...'

A sly smile came to Batara's face as she tried to hold back the laughter. "Hardly a berserker like a rogue, you have to completely lose it to be like them. As for not being wild, don't be too quick to judge," she then chuckled a bit before adding, "They used to say I was about as close to a tame rogue as you can get. That's only sometimes though." Alas, we have finally made progress, she said as a slight smile came to her lips at the sound of his chuckle. "Oh yes, there is one thing that I must notify you of," she said as she pretended to examine the nails on her free hand. "And that would be, I. Win." Her eyes then looked up to meet his steely grey ones once again.
