Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Edited, striked out s**t ignored, bold stuff new. End result: same attack.))

"How long are we going to keep running, Knights." Jean looked up at him as they lightly jogged through the long grass. She found it strange that he wasn't making more of an effort to go faster, despite his apparent need to delay meeting Vahn in the first place.

"Not much longer now...I'll make a stand...here." With that he stopped, and turned around. There was a harsh sound, and everything, grass and flowers mostly, flattened within a ten foot radius, leaving both figures highlighted by the growing dusk.

The tall man unbuckled his sheath and drove it into the ground in front of him, hand curling around the hilt with a comfortable familiarity. He was ready, he was cool...coat blowing in the breeze, stern look on his face... all up until the point Jean kicked him in the shin.

"O-OW ********, Jean...What the hell?" He scowled down at her.

"You said HIS name out loud, you dork!! How the hell are we gonna explain that? He's gonna know...he ALWAYS knows..."

"He doesn't always know Jean, he just guesses..." Knights winced as soon as the words came out of his mouth, and she kicked him again. "s**t!"

"He doesn't guess! He KNOWS, he's a GOD, jeeze...does omnipotence mean anything to you?!"

"Isn't that when you can't perfom in the bedroo-GAH! Stop kicking me, damnit...they're coming."

"I hope Dei-dei turns you into a dragon again...things were a lot more peaceful spirituality-wise." With a huff she went and sat on the outter circle, grumbling about religion. Knights remained where he was, favouring his now very bruised leg.

"They've stopped."

Again Owle's voice would sound in Vahn's head, as she desperately tried not to think of how easily she could fall off, and how fast they were going, and how easily Vahn could crash into someone.

She didn't know what they were doing, but they hadn't been moving away for a while. It didn't look like they meant to. Owle sighed gratefully to herself, Thank the gods. It's almost over.

"Knights?"

"Yes Jean..."

"Relax, you look too stiff..."

"Look, are you gonna yell at me all through this...I mean, I'll give you the tape and YOU can do it if you like."

"Really?!"


"...No."

They had...stopped moving.

Thank the gods and all the powers that this ride is over. Thank you.

Owle slowly, slowly opened her eyes. She took a few deep, calming breaths, then turned to regard their two...pursu-ees?

Vahn would see, now that the two were in sight, that the golden lines he had been following were in fact the bodies of two dim golden snakes, winding their way through the air. They seemed bored, now, lazily circling Knights and Jean, occasionally letting their tongues taste the air. When they caught sight of Vahn, though, the black voids where their eyes ought to be regarded him steadily, almost...lustfully?

And then they were gone, reeled back like so much fishing line, comically flopping in the air until they vanished back into Owle where they belonged.

I hope he didn't notice that...

"Vahn?" Her voice was small, timid almost. If Vahn hadn't noticed how tightly she'd been gripping him, or the fact that she winced every time they passed something, well...he would probably still be oblivious to her discomfort, especially with his quarry right before him.

"...is it safe to get off now?"

"Yea...it's safe."

He got off the Harley with one smooth motion, both feet touching the ground, before he started walking towards the two strangers. "But stay here."

Yellowed eyes narrowed, as he made his way forward, running a hand through his hair.

Knights noticed both peoples movements and scowled not taking his eyes from the advancing man. "O-Oi! Where do you think you're...damnit Jean, you'd better not start making friends!" His knuckles tightened but his overall position remained the same.

"You got the look of a man searching for something beyond him," A smirk played around Knights lips, though the emotion never reached those strange green eyes.

"You look like your brother."

((I'm guessing this bird's mind would register as a little bit odd for a bird?))

Owle gave the bird a look. Being a shapeshifter who could turn into a small bird herself, and never knowing birds to fly quite that close to humans, she was somewhat suspicious of the creature. Still, it wasn't doing any harm, so she let it be for now.

"What?" she shouted back at Knights, indignant. "I just had the most harrowing ride on a motorcycle EVER! I need to stretch my legs!" She shook her head. "I have no intention of fighting you, so don't worry!"

She didn't stop moving though...even going so far as to start pacing back and forth when she was right across from Jean. Mostly, she regarded the other girl curiously, though she kept glancing at Knights and Vahn. Waiting.
