Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kerana felt the warmth of hug and smiled. She noticed the girl was tired from all the magic she was using and saw as the barrier dims out. "Don't worry Elizabeth-chan, the zombies are pretty much taken care of thanks to-" just then her eyes widen as she saw the ambush that ensued "SEAN!" She couldn't cast something in his direction for fear that she might hit him. Instead she raised her hands used her barrier which was a red and black one which surrounded Max, Elizabeth and herself.

She didn't want anyone else to get hurt. She was so worried about Sean and wanted to rush out to help him fight but knows very well that she would only get in the way, thus why she stayed behind and protected the others. Once Sean made it back out, she was relieved and let her arms down causing the barrier to go down. "SEAN!" she rushes to him and looks over his wounds. "Here let me heal you." her hand started glowing green and she starts healing the wounds she finds.

While Sean went into the woods to change, Max was busy rounding up what arrows he could. It looked like his arrows had been mostly ineffective, and some of his targets had gone on to join the group that had attacked the wolf. This at least made it easier to retrieve his prized projectiles, but one had broken in the struggles. With a sigh, he picked up the broken arrow, removing the tip for later use. It seemed as though the archer had run into a string of bad luck, one he hoped to be free of soon. Dropping the arrow head into his pack, Max went back to the others.

Sean smiled at the tension between them, shaking his head he pulled away from Kerana, making a silent vow not to leave her in the line of danger again. He sighed as he watched the other boy returned back. Then he looked over at the exhausted Elizabeth.

"Well.. Maybe we should rest up for the night and then pursue your friend tomorrow.. It seems some of us are exhausted. "

"No. I'm fine." Elizabeth said as she glared in the wolfs direction. She didn't want something to happen to Trinity by dilly-dallying around.

"You sure don't look fine, Liza." the wolf said flatly as he stood beside Kerana.

"Trust me. I'm fine." the fiery red head spat. She was beginning to hate this wolf.

Sean snorted as he turned his gaze back to Kerana, sometimes women could be so stubborn, the whole lot of em. Sighing he crossed his arms across his black clothed chest. He could fill the sting of the wound on his chest, but ignored it. Sean had seen worse.

"Well, Max... What do you presume we do? Stay or go forward. Your friend here." Sean stated darting his eyes in the direction of Elizabeth "persists we go on, even though she most likely can barely walk, much less fight."

"Oh you are one to talk!" Elizabeth shouted as she rose to her feet, her face red with rage as she looked at the more then hansom dark haired man. She hated being underestimated by men, they always thought because she was small and frail that she was weak. She was probably more self driven then most men she has encountered.

The red head looked to her left, seeing a lancet that one of the zombies had been using as a weapon. She knew the weapon would be tainted, but that was a quick fix. She picked up the metal, sharp pointed weapon. Cringing at the negative energy the weapon with held, then she closed her eyes, concentrating on cleansing the weapon.

Moments later, Liza's eyes opened, the weapon had taken on a new look. It was no longer black and tainted with blood, but a coppery gold color. She smiled at the weapon, it would do for now.

Sean watched as the girl began to concentrate on the weapon in her hands. Blinking, was she really cleansing the weapon after she was just down from exhaustion. He snorted and turned away from the red head, looking at Kerana, at least she knew when the listen to reason.

Sighing the wolf ran his hand through his hair. Looking at Kerana in the eyes, shaking his head. "Kera, what do you suppose we do? After all... whatever you want to do, I'll do it." his stare held hers for a moment, within that moment he gave her one of his famous charming smiles, the smile that melted women's hearts, and let him get his way 90 % of the time.

Sean sighed as he heard Max's words, he knew that he was right. This wasn't the place to rest, shaking his head he turned away from the group. Walking ahead of them, after all if they wasn't going to rest, what was the point in staying behind? He was the one with more capability in killing anything that tried to attack. Max was low on arrows, and the girls where rather tired.

He kept his arms crossed over his chest as he walked. His mind wondering to the past, a much happier time then those of recent. A smirk creeping on the wolfs lips. He remembered when he and Kerana where children, playing tag and what not. Now, they are playing much more dangerous games.

"Thank you!" Elizabeth almost shouted as she began to walk forward in the direction the dead had come from. There was a trail of necromancy magic that was pretty easy to follow. The man holding Trinity really was a idiot, after all. He had used his magic to animate these dead, yet didn't think about the trail he'd leave right to his doorstep.

Sighing she watched as the wolf pouted away. Truly childish the way he was acting. It was as if the stupid creature wanted to stay and rest. Shaking her head she looked over at Max, walking by his side.

"I don't trust him." she said flatly as she looked behind her, making sure the fox didn't hear her. "What are you going to do about your arrows? It is obvious you don't have many left, and if we are ambushed again like that... What will be your means of protection and defence?" Elizabeth hoped she wasn't prying too much into Max's pride. She didn't mean to, she was just concerned.

(Um... Where is the person playing the bad guy?)

Max began walking beside Elizabeth, glancing back when she did to make sure the other two were following. "One can never trust a dog one meets during travels. It may be following for genuine companionship, or for the food in your pack. Most would just as soon bite the hand as the food it bears. He would be a welcome ally, if he can be trusted." He stepped around a corpse from the fight, watching to make sure it didn't move.
"As for my weapons, do not worry yourself. Even without arrows, a bow possesses formidable power. I will restock my quiver when we reach another settlement. I am no arrow maker myself."

Kerana saw the look on his face. "Sean are you alright?" she knew he wasn't but thought it best give him a chance to answer whether he wanted to talk about it or not. She didn't like how the others talked about him like an untrustworthy dog. Not to mention she had to place her trust in Elizabeth not long ago in order the for healing to help. Was that trust lost so easily on her as well?

But why say such a thing? He did risk his life after all... she started to think that perhaps him jumping to conclusions and insisting on his way was the better solution, in which it wasn't. He wasn't thinking about the smell that affected the party as a whole. Although he meant well toward Elizabeth, just assuming that she couldn't go on because she was tired was not helping any. He was the same with Kerana whenever she used a lot of magic, she would appreciate his concern and let him know whether she really could go on or not. Then again even at times she said she could go on he was still insistent on resting. She thought it was him being over protective of her, yet seeing him behave like that toward Elizabeth, it wasn't just her.

Like little satellites her ears turned enough to hear what Max had said. It comforted her to here what he had said about the group as a whole and for her and Sean they were fighting for someone they've never met.
