Zahar nodded slowly and let her glow seep to nothing. Apperently she had hurt her companions eyes. She kept walking keeping watch only on the path ahead, her face pointing downwards. If a slight glow in a shaded area bothered him, the first night Zahar met him must have really smarted. She held fast to the rope attached to her canteen and sighed lightly. It was still a nice afternoon. It should be dark in a few hours, he was right to think about how sleeping will work. Lucky she wouldn't have to eat or drink too much too soon, having had tea and a scone back at the home base with Kenshi. Zahar paused and picked up a stick writing on the path again in a cleared spot. How long will it take to catch food and cook? She didn't want to be over hungry when the time came.

he looked around noting many signs of animal travel, and looked back to her, "not long at all, 30 minutes for something small but enough for the two of us, in this area. and i supposes i should explain about my eyes. they can shift between normal vision and that of a kind that allows me to see the heat signatures of othe beings and the world surrounding me. this can be a problem however with bright light when it pops into existance as it trys to make my heat sensing vision and regular vision occur at once and this casues pain. i was in a transition phase back in that dark section of woods is all. jsut warn by booting me in the rump or something if you plan to do that, " he gave her a wink and a small nudge with his elbow onto her shoulder.
"as for the food are you getting hungry at all? is that why you asked?"

Zahar shook her head and wrote in the ground again. Not hungry yet. Sorry about the eyes. Powers starting to come back. She slipped the stick into her belt so she would have it for later. After taking a deep breath Zahar took a small lazy stretch and waited for him to start walking again or say something.

he smiled at that cute little strech and motioned her for her to walk with him and began wandering through the forest. they walked for some time and he called down titan and the little bird flittered down and landded on his houlder remaining there for some time before flittering back into a tree. "if i might ask m'lady, what is your relationship to the other demi-humans/humans that live with you? if you cant explain in short writing then that is fine, but id like to know."

Zahar thought about it then paused. She cleared a larger area. Starting to write a list. Kataio - Gaurdian Io - Sister/dark mask w/ feathers Nika - Father/sun + moon mask Kasai - fire mask friend? Galilee - dark mask She didn't quite know how to catigorize Galilee. If he needed more info then he could ask that's all she really knew of the people there. Sure she had met others but just in short spans. Zahar smiled from him to the bird.

"Io and Nika? i havent seen them i dont believe. That Galilee was the one i had the confrontation with in the woods i believe. id like to spar with him actually. Kataio was the one i paid for the bandages unless im mistaken. now i dont know that you can explain it by writing in the dirt, so i might be able to help." he began to dig in his pouches, "i have a ring somewhere that should alow us to speak... i dont know if it will work, an enchanter from my plain made it for his apprentice.. how i got it is not so pleasent a story and one i guess i will abstain from unless you desire to know of course," he rummaged around on his front and side pouches and said, "ahah! we are in buisness," his tail had taken it out of one of the pouches on his back an raised it above his shouler. his tail extended out towards her, the ring dangling from its thin tip.
the ring was a bleached bone of some kind, with one spike like tooth on either side of a marvelous sparkling blue gem that floated between them unmoving, "the gem is solid, dont worry, it will allow you to use the hand language of the dark elf race. i learned that when i stayed with them so we can speak in a sense. it is increadably complicated, but you will know the entire language with it on, you will get dizzy probably as it floods your mind with the new information. if you dont feel comfortable with it then you needent wear it but i ask that you keep it in case we need to speak quickly."

Zahar pondered the ring at the tip of his tail for a moment. She reached out and carefully took the ring into her possession, her fingers lightly grazing his tail as she took it off. Once it was in the palm of her hand she shivered and looked up at him. Zahar cleared off the path again and then wrote. I do not have good balance. I should sit. Leaving him with that note she looked around for some where to sit down and possibly lean on something.

he smiled inwardly as she brushed his tail, though his outward fassad never changed. he motioned for her to continue, "as you wish M'lady, if you wish to try it just put it on and we well speak for the first time as it were."

Zahar nodded forward to a mossy area under a tree. If this ring was to make her dizzy it was best she sat down there. She walked forward and looked ar the ground, then touched it to check how damp it might have been. Finding it suitable enough she sat down and leaned against the tree. Pating the area next to her, in a way asking if he would sit as well. Zahar turned the ring over hin her hand and thought about it a few moments more. while he decided if he would sit or stand when she placed it on.

he plopped down in front of her folding his legs and with a soft smile watched her turn the ring over in her hands, "it wont hurt you. if youd like i will put it on my finger first to show you if you do not trust me yet."

Zahar shook her head slowly. In her mind she didn't think he would hurt her, but she couldn't muster a care wether she did or did not get harmed by this object. Her eyes drifted across his face and then down to the ring. Her eyes concentrated for a second on the ring, would it matter what finger she placed it on? Would it matter what hand it went on? She held out the ring to him and then motioned it sliding on each of her fingers on one hand then the same with the other. After she finished that she shrugged and held it out again asking hopefully which one. Inwardly Zahar laughed at herself, her actions probably made no sense at all.

he took the ring from her hand and slid it on to each of his fingers, it slid on each resizeing to each, the only thing that remained constant was the gem floating between the prong, "any finger my dear, any finger," he handed it back smiling still.

She nodded and let the ring drop into her hand. Zahar took in another deep breath and then slid the ring on the pointer finger of her right hand. For a bare moment she thought that nothing had happened when the ring slipped on her finger. But then it tightened to fit her finger perfectly and she could feel the power and the knowledge flow through her, into her. Zahar had to close her eyes, it was such a barrage of information that she could hardly take in any other senses. Gasping lightly under her mask she reached around for something to hold, to keep her grounded. So much information, she almost felt lost in it all.

he grabed her hand and squezed lightly whispering, "just a moment longer, dont worry, relax and let it come to you, it will be as if its always been there. the intricate hand gestures will be easy for you and you will probably marval at this ability for for a bit as your hands will be moving in ways they hadnt before. we wont talk much today, your hands will b e sore by tommorow, new muscle use and all."

Zahar squeezes back and let his voice sooth her slightly. It was hard to relax when it felt like something was digging up root in your brain, but she tried to think calm thoughts. Soon she found herself huming a light tune, one that Kataio had sang when she was a child, or was it from her old past. Relaxing her breathing, causeing the humming to come steadier and more even, she slumped into the tree behind her, it had been a good plan to sit down. Zahar started losening her grip slightly when she felt the pressure in her mind easing slightly. The humming continued not even knowing where she had thought to do that to calm herself. As if daring herself she opened one eye a crack to peek out to the world.
