Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Tried. Only tried making my own. No one said it worked."

She was then taken aback by what next statement.
She slid off the bed to sit on the floor beside the wolf.
"You really can't be asking me to do that. What of your dragon, Dark?"

She shrugged in regards to the holy water. In all honesty, she hoped it would should she need it. The sad fact was, she wouldn't find out until she actually used it on what she was attacking. It pushed it really close to the line as far as she was concerned.

"If what Kiru's hinted to me is true, it sounds like Dark will tear me to shreds if I were to give you your wish," she stated, trying to nab the opening in the conversation that had been made. She might just be able to talk about this after all, unlike the last meet. "Sounds like the fellow is more after him than you actually."

"So Dark's control overrode his?" she asked, curious about this topic. "A replacement... great. Seeing as he made an offer, I suppose that shot is at me if it isn't one of his current lackies." There was a groan from the ranger as that fact sunk in.

"That holy water better work. I'll probably need it sooner than later it sounds."

Another question had come from the ranger's mouth, but when there was no answer, Jay looked over to find Micheal not stirring. Lowering herself closer to the floor, she could swear that he had just dozed off on her - at night. She looked around the now silent room, got up off the floor, blew out the candle and slipped into bed while trying not to trip on the wolf body on the floor. Almost as an offhand thought, Jay tossed one of the two blankets on the bed over Micheal before dropping off into her own slumber.

When she woke, it was near high noon. The curtains blocked out some of the light, but she felt better about the light with the blanket over Micheal. There wasn't much excitement to her afternoon by her standards. Getting a bowl from her bag, she set it on the table and poured some of her makeshift holy water in it. Then she grabbed a handful of arrows and rested the tips in the base of the bowl.

She left those to sit while tossing a small cloth over the bowl to cover it. She remained in the room for dinner, digging through her rations while she rotated arrows in and out of the bowl to soak 'til the night came on.

With the curtain drawn as it was and the tedious work, she had not realized the time.

"I have no where else to work with it and I thought it would better for you to see what items I have that are getting treated, just so there are no accidents. I'll get it put away now though," Jay said as she lifted the current batch of soaking arrows up from the bowl and used the cloth that had been covering them previously to wipe off any water that could possibly drip. With that she tucked most of the arrows that had been sitting out into a spare quiver she shoved in her bag with a few of them slid into her normal quiver. The remainder of the water in the bowl was poured back into the drinking bag and she tucked the cloth she had been using in with the secondary quiver.

"So a number of the arrows are touched, as well as the bowl on the table, the cloth in the bag, and this." She then held up the waterskin that had the holy water. "I've got two waterskins though only one is filled with the regular water. You can probably tell right away without looking which one is which I suspect."

"That had been originally my next step," the ranger said as she finished packing everything, "to change the fletching, but I decided against it for something more... subtle."

She picked up the open quiver again, looking over the contents, her mouth moving as if she was speaking but no words were coming out, her head nodding at the same time it looked as if she was saying something.

She then looked up at Michael with a cocked eyebrow.
"You don't know how a hunter thinks? You're in the form of a wolf and you're saying that?"

"Once. Never would have happened at the second farm unless you seriously ran for the tree growling at me. The only shot I had planned that night if you showed up at that hen house was going to go a mile in front of you just so you would know I was there," she huffed as she went back to fussing with the arrows in the quiver. "When you simply left that first time when Kiru showed up, I wasn't sure what it had been all about so I figured trying to meet with you in person was possibly a bad idea."

She tossed the quiver over her shoulder and set it up on her back like normal. She lifted her good arm as if to reach over her shoulder and then paused in midlift as she was looking at Micheal, made an odd face, and then turned toward the wall. She then went back to what looked as if she was drawing an arrow in slow motion.

After she grabbed an arrow and then was looking it over in her hand she continued speaking. "Why did you end up leaving anyways? Is that something of his abilities?"
