Sierra watches as the elder went back into her tent then looked around. She didnt like the answer that she was given mainly because in a way she feared it and anything that made her feel so she would want to eliminate it immediately. "Guess I'll be returning to that horrid place." she only grbled it and anyone sitting near her could hear her. She grunted as she got to her feet then strapped her sword to her back and looked up, then jumps to grab hold of the tree limb above her and pulled herself up and settled herself.

Vestakia looked up at the kitsune and quickly climbed up the tree. she stopped at the brach above him and swung her body downwards, using her legs to hold her in place as she hung upside down, as her body adjusted to hanging she shifted to a more human-like form, her ears were pointed like and elfs and her skin was tan much like Re'nahs had been, one of her eyes remained gold while the other, her left one, turned red. she had two marking on the side of her face just under the red eye, both were curved triangles, one smaller then the other. She reached down and grabbed the dagger and slipped it into her belt next to the short sword she carried, which surprisingly staied upright dispite gravity. "I love strangers, just not ones that insult Grandmother...she is very old and wise and we rather not see disrespect shown towards her." She said staring at Hunter while she hung upside down infront of him, her scentence switching for first person speach to third in a second.

The silver dragon listened to the older woman's story, catching every detail he could, incase this information could be used later. When the older woman left he got himself up and explored the caravan for a bit, watching the people enjoy themselves with their music and games, but something in his mind was telling him to speak with the older woman. Unable to resist the urge he headed back to her tent, he stopped at the edge of the tent and cleared his throat, "Im sorry to be a bother, but may I ask to join you inside?" he said softly, hoping she would give him her permission.

Grandmother looked up from a map and gave Firion a kind smile. "Of course my child, please have a seat." she said gesturing to a seat to the rigth of her. "i was just making some tea." she said humming as she waved a hand towards a tea kettle that floated over to the cup in her other hand and poured into it causeing the leaves at the bottom of the cup to release their flavors. "Would you like some? i found these wonderful peppermint leaves in my cabinate, i usually can see the future but i never expected these to be hinding there." she said sipping the drink carefully.

The dragon nodded and walked in, he didnt look around the woman's tent but instead took his seat like she offered and kept his attention on her. However when she mentioned tea his attention was focused on the steaming kettle, "I would be delighted." he said kindly. As he waited for his tea he thought for a moment, "Time Seer, with your permission I would like you to look into something for me..." he said, his tone had hints of anxiety, no matter how much he tried to hide it.

The old elf pulled out a second cup from thin air, already filled with leaves and poured the hot water in and handed the cup to Firion. she set her own cup down when he requested her to used her powers and she sighed. "I am sorry my dear, bt before you go any further into this i must stop you there, the Gods granted me my power but they will not allow me to reveal anymore then i must without paying a terrible price, even though i told you of Jasper i cannot tell you how to defeat him...and im sorry dear but i cannot tell you about the Traitor or where he is if that is what you are asking...But, i do know of another who can help. He is older then I and a little hard of hearing somtimes but he is among the wises of the Dragon kin here in Argonos. you will find him in the City should you choose to come with us."

The dragon gently took his tea and was about to take a sip of the steaming drink, but his hand froze when she mentioned the traitor, "You know of him?" he asked curiously, his hand slowly lowering the cup back down onto the table. Before he lost himself with questions about how she knew he shook his head and looked her in the eye, "Im sorry, I didnt mean to ask something that couldnt be done. I have to admit that the question was part of my request." he said kindly. At this time he calmed himself and took a drink of the tea, his eyes widened at the taste. This batch was amazing, maybe more! He couldnt remember the last time he had a good cup of tea. He nearly drank half the cup, but quickly stopped himself. He slowly lowered the cup back down onto the table and looked back at the elf. He slowly nodded at the offer, "I would like to join you to the city." he said kindly

"Yes i know of him, I am a seer after all." She said taking another sip of her tea. "but you wont find him here, thats the only hint i can give you, the moment the Dragons and the Dragon kin here catch wind of him anywhere withing Argonos he will be killed, no trial, no plea for mercy, just a painful death." she said seriously staring into the depth of her tea. "That is not the Future but a fact, if you are sent on finding him and taking your revenge i would do it before the elder Dragons decide to do it themselves." she warned Firion swirling the contents of her cup. "Oh dear there i go again..forgive this old woman and her rantings, somtimes i forget to keep quiet, got me in a lot of trouble when i was younger." she said setting down her tea and sighing.

The dragon nodded once again, "Yes. I can sense his presence when he is close enough." he said plainly. "If the other dragons are going to end him they are bound to lose alot of good people... or all of them. My reason for hunting the traitor isnt entirely revenge." he admitted, "Its actually to protect someone I know..." he said looking down into his own tea, a sense of sorrow looming over the dragon. It quickly ended and he looked back up at the elf, "Dont worry, I dont mind. besides your not the only I know who got into trouble that way." he said jokingly, but it ended again the same way, the dragon looked back down into his tea, sorrow looming over him again.

Hunter leaned against the main trunk of the tree and folded his arms as he let out a sigh and looked at the newly transformed Vestakia, thinking about what the seer had said earlier and chose his next words carefully.
"Look, Vestakia right, I wasn't insulting her I was just calling her what you had called her when you introduced her to us." He shrugged and sighed hoping that he wouldn't insult her again, "Anyways, I'm sorry if I offended you, her, or any one else the caravan, that wasn't my intention. Speaking of which, not that I've been outside Tal'rukk or it's western boundaries much but what's the city that the elder spoke of like? How far away is it from here? And how was dinner since you got to taste it before anybody else?"
Hunter's did have an honest interest in the caravan, but he didn't also want to overwhelm Vestakia with too many questions and as hard at it was, shut his mouth and observed what his friends were doing while he waited for her response, Sierra had gone back to being her silent self in a tree close by, he noticed firon going into the elder's tent and could only guess what they were discussing I know I should be, but why am I not surprised....
"I think the city could be an interesting place...besides this group seems like fun and everybody else seems to like it here. He added silently to noone in particular, still aware of the elf-like fox girl hanging from the tree branch right in front of him.

Vestakia swayed back and forth as she thought of what to answer first, humming a little as she did. "Hmm, The Main city really has no name, just the City, but its a lively place, though our Caravan is made of different people, Argonos is the capital of Wild Born, creatures like you and me i suppose...and Lycanthropes...Dragon Kin, Naga...you name the beast, its possibly there. Hearing the way you speak, you must have come from the Outlands if you do not know where you are." she said clicking her canines thoughfully. "so he has already started there..." she whispered to herself before licking her dark lips. "And the food was tasty, i dont usually eat with the others, they cook their meat to much, i rather enjoy cathing my own food and eating it while its still fresh and not ruined by the flames. could aslo do without all the herbs, but i suppose people who eat flavored food for to long lose the taste for a more natural flavor." she continued releasing her legs from the branch above, and using her hands to grab Hunters branch she lowered herself untill she could safly sit upright on the branch infront of the Kitsune, she was quite the acrobat for a creature usually found on the ground. "As for Grandmother, i only call her that because she has never told us her real name, but we dont dare shorten it to Grandma, make it sound like a joke, she is the oldest elf among her kind and deserves a better title then somthing a human child would call her."

The old elf smiled and stood walking over to Firion and placeing one of her old hands on his head gently. "My dear i know of your losses, and how hurt you are, but do not greive for them, though their death is a terrible loss to the Dragon kind and the rest of the world their spirits are free and your people will always be with you no matter where you are. I wish i could share my sight with you but unlike my Dragon frined i am not free to do so, once you'll meet him you'll know what to do." she said removing her hand but still stood near him. "Now go out and do not worry yourself on these things untill you meet him, enjoy yourself for a little while, tomorrow we will set off for the City."

The dragon slowly nodded, "Thank you, I havent met someone who had understood what was going on." he said softly now slowly finishing his tea. The dragon's eyes looked down into the cup to see the herbs that sat at the bottom and something clicked, his eyes seemed to brighten at the sight, almost as if he had remembered something, "If I may I would like to show you something before I leave you." he said kindly, now letting his hand gently rest on top of his empty cup.

Hunter nodded, "Yep, my clan lived on the outermost edge on the west side of Tal'rukk, I didn't know much of anything but tha area until I was 'volunteered' by my clan for the games when the king's men showed up..." Hunter opened his eyes and shifted himself in the general direction of where the sun was setting and focused his gazed on the ground, "...That was four years ago and in exchange for me, Jasper promised to spare everyone, although I have to wonder if that's true.."
"But anyways," He sniffed the air and caught the scent of freshly spiced meat off the fire, "I am curious if the city we are going to tomorrow has races like you, me , firon, and lucy, why you chose to stick around with the elves and humans of this caravan since you only look like them on the exterior...and how good you are with that."
Hunter grinned and pointed to the short sword hanging from the fox-girl's waist as he hopped down from the tree branch and began walking towards where the smell was coming from and added,"You two coming?"
((Having fun with the two roles? lol ))

Since everyone was off either mingling with those of the caravan, off in their own thoughts, or just simply not doing anything at all she remained up in the tree she had jumped up into earlier. For lack of anything to do she took bits of her armor off one piece at a time and started cleaning it til it shined then replaced it back on her person and take another piece to clean it as well. However, though part of her was cleaning another was alert to her surroundings, and yet she was completely lost in her thoughts thinking over what the elder elf had said and what they should do when they arrive in the city.
