Rikki Tikki Travi <=Ky Kiske=>Ky makes a quick mental note of the sudden, albeit subtle, appearance of her accent. The way she questioned his trust in her also raised a flag, none the less he met the question as he always does. "Although we are currently at odds with our brothers of the Paladin's Rod, we need not hide our identities like bandits in the thicket. We seek the same ends, though by different means. As for making my identity known to a stranger, I personally feel it does this land good to know that there are just people who are meeting the challenge of this Beast head on. To know that we seek the immediate removal of this plague from our world. But I digress, we do not have a full grasp of what transpired here just yet, and thus do not know what dangers may still lurk. I ask you again, do you seek to assist us in our effort?"  A beautiful roaring scream, of joy and sorrow so extreme...
A faint blush warms her features and she gives the young man a shy smile. "Forgive my wariness. I find that young men will sometimes readily volunteer information that is.. slightly less than the whole truth.. when faced with the company of a woman." Talise tells him apologetically. "To answer your question, yes I seek to assist you in your effort. In fact, I have been traveling with the intention of finding the Iron Fist and joining their ranks. These attacks have spread to affect my people and my home. It is just as much our problem as it is the rest of the world. Tell me, how does one enter into the service of the Iron Fist?"
There is a love in me raging. A joyous, magical feeling...

Talise Anora

 Ky chuckles with a small smile, "You need not worry about my intentions young miss. My mind is not so easily swayed. I am sorry to hear about your peoples misfortune, and we will gladly accept your help. You will need to be introduced to someone higher than myself, but at the moment that may prove to be a bit difficult. In the meantime I believe it would be best if you were to stay close to me while we render aid. Would that suit you Miss...?" He drags out the "s" in miss, realizing that he doesn't know her name yet.

She offers him a smile in return. "Call me Tali. And shall I refer to you as Sir.. Mr. Kiske.. Ky?" The last word delivered in a slightly shyer tone than the rest, illustrating her hesitancy to assume. Small run-ins with local authorities and the occasional drunken soldier were really the only exposures to military folk Talise had ever had. She was also noticing that this young man seemed to be a contradiction in his own right; leading an informal group of warriors and rogues and yet a pillar of knightly formality in presentation. She wondered how he had gotten himself into this situation.
"Certainly I will stay with you, if you believe that best. Where are we going?" She asks curiously. "I thought I heard something of an explosion a short while back."

He says in a friendly manner, "For now you may just call me Ky, seeing as we have just met and I have yet to truly earn your respect. Then you may call me whatever you would like, Tali." He looked around, seeing if there was anyone near them in need of assistance. As far as he could see his men, and the soldiers whom had accompanied Johaness, seemed to have everything well in hand. They were fortunate that the angel (and perhaps another) were able to force The Beast to retreat. "We are still attempting to piece together what transpired here. My platoon had just arrived as the battle ended." He asked the young lady, "Do you possess any medical skills or knowledge in the ways of white magic?"

Talise shakes her head regretfully. "I'm definitely no healer, but if someone is in pain I have some spirits that would numb their senses lickity split." She offers helpfully. "Maybe we should try to find out what it was that caused that big blast I heard. There could very well be some injured there, don't you think?" Since she has never laid eyes on this city before, she is more than willing to follow his lead.
"You mentioned someone higher than you. Who is it I am supposed to meet?" She asks, curious as to what the hierarchy is in the Iron Fist.

Ky nods to her first suggestion in regards to the blast, "Yes, that would be best. Alas, we don't know exactly where that happened. I do however need to check on the status of my other men. Stay close to me, and alert me if you see anything suspicious." As he walks he cants his head to the side and answers her other question, "Seeing as you approached me first, I will introduce you to my commander. She is not here at the moment," Internally he prayed he would have the opportunity to make the introduction, "but hopefully we will make contact with her soon."

{ - Iron Fist - }
The soldier gives Ky a nod before returning to the horse near where Rizel was laid. He kneels down to pick up the unconscious woman, only to give a start as she stirrs faintly. Kneeling down beside her, he calls out to Ky before the officer and his new companion get any further away. "Sir! I think she's waking up! Did you need to speak with her?"

Can you hear me?"

{Rizel}
Rizel could distantly feel her fingers, toes, and head moving slowly and her eyes flew open suddenly. Her surroundings swirled dizzyingly and her head throbbed with dull pain. Rizel recognized the characteristic feelings of exhaustion and did not attempt to sit up yet. Her eyes focused quickly and she noticed an official-looking man near her, speaking to someone around her, but who?
Her weak chest tightened as panic overcame her. She was too close to the humans in her fragile state. Even more, she was not in the presence of mere commoners, as the man's uniform indicated.
Where am I? Have I been captured?
Rizel attempted to raise herself up, but the effort was in vain. She grabbed at the earthen floor desperately and tried to push herself up, but her body would have none of that nonsense. Rizel's mind conflicted pathetically with her body, increasing her headache.

Ky raises his hands in a non-threatening gesture, "Easy now, you shouldnt try to move so quickly just yet. You have no need to fear us. When I approached you earlier you fainted, I took it upon myself to make sure someone kept an eye on you till you awoke. I am Ky Kiske, 1st platoon leader of the Iron Fist. Are you hurt?" He offers her his hand, his kind blue eyes looking directly into hers.

A beautiful roaring scream, of joy and sorrow so extreme... The sudden change of course took Talise by surprise and she almost squeaked when she realized Ky was running off and leaving her behind. Swiveling on her heels, she hastened to catch up to him and wherever he was going. Soon her question was answered and she found herself peering over his shoulder a few feet back from where the woman lay. She couldn't see any wounds on the young woman. Curiously she wondered what had afflicted her. Deeming silence to be the best option, Talise simply stood back and tried not to look too obtrusive as she eavesdropped in on their conversation.
There is a love in me raging. A joyous, magical feeling...

{Rizel}
Rizel eyed the man who entered her line of vision. Still with the mindset that she could escape, her face gave away fierce indignation and suspicion. Nevertheless, the listened respectfully.
Iron Fist? The name rang a bell, but a bell of alarm. Her head was again swimming with too many thoughts. He had with him a woman, uncommon-looking, who may or may not have been a prisoner of his.
Quickly, she decided on her safest plan of action. She knew not how much they knew about her, but she would not start off by letting them believe she was a heretic, especially as weak as she was. Rizel allowed her face to soften with gratitude (which she genuinely felt, regardless) and let a faint, sweet smile appear. Rizel hated to be deceitful, but it was also a necessary survival tactic.
"Thank you," she murmured, hoping her naturally honey-like voice would momentarily distract him from any sort of violent thoughts he may've had at the moment.

Her voice rang through his ears like the chimes of a chapels bells on a weekend afternoon. Again he found himself enamored by her, but would not allow anyone present to see or know this. Ky's lips curl into a heartfelt smile of goodwill, "You are most welcome, it was no trouble at all. Although I do appreciate your gratitude, you still have yet to answer my question miss. Are you hurt in anyway? Or perhaps the mere sight of the atrocity that took place here was too much for your unexposed mind to handle all at once?"

{Rizel}
Rizel had forgotten that he had asked her a question in her minor fit of panic.
"No, I believe I'm fine." she answered simply. Her head hurt, but it would disappear as her strength reappeared. He was kind, maybe deceptively, though "unexposed mind" seemed to take it a bit far. Rizel laughed inside at the young human man, though not to belittle him.
Feeling her arms were slightly stronger than a cotton puff, she struggled to sit up.

Ky slowly moves forward so as not to startle her and assists her in sitting up gently. He places his right hand against her back, and takes his left hand in his, a look of genuine concern in his eyes, "Whoa now, do not overexert yourself. You look absolutely exhausted. Would you like some water?" He reaches around his back with his right hand and offers her a stitched leather bladder with a cork. Feeling that she may still not trust him just yet he bites off the cork and takes a swig to show her it is not tainted in anyway, "It may not be spring water, but it will make you feel better." He says, all the while still smiling warmly.
