Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chal seemed to forget about the fact that his shield, at least the straps on it, had him pinned and instead looked up at the one who was holding him down, "Huh?" He'd missed what she'd said at first but shen she leaned in closer he caught it, "Ahh... no, doesn't hurt so much as... well... I am kinda stuck." He said, wiggling a bit in place to show how the straps on the shield were holding him in place given the way that the shield had gotten itself stuck where he'd landed. Her breath against his cheeks seemed to distract him from the fact that he was stuck though, causing him to realize exactly how close the girl was to him, something that made his cheeks burn, "Ahh... look... um..." This was getting a bit on the awkward side and was becoming more and more so as time passed, never a good thing.

"Maybe if you could..." He was going to ask her if she could scoot off of him, let him undo the straps so he could get free, but he wasn't allowed to finish the thought as instead he found himself being... kiss? It was a shocking, if enjoyable, sensation. It was something that he hadn't even really been able to share with the one that he had feelings for, instead finding himself having such first experiences being stolen by the aggressive girl. He supposed he deserved it, it was him that put such ideas in her head. After a moment though he seemed to go from thinking about how he'd been unable to share such a thing with Takoda to actually focusing his hazy mind on the fact that he was able to share such a thing with this girl. Would it be so bad? A few kisses and a bit of affection between strangers? They didn't even know each others names, would likely never see each other again, who would it kill to let off a bit of steam?

With that thought in mind Chal gave up his attempts at escape, instead lifting his arms up to wrap them around the Leaf Tribeswoman, and pulled her that much closer as he returned the kiss...

As the kiss broke Chal found himself trying to sit up to follow her... but was pulled up short by the strap on his shield that still had him entangled. Augh, what a bother. His attention when back to the girl above him who was aiding the shield in keeping him pinned, about to ask for help in getting free... when he realized that her attention was on the very thing he was about to ask her about. Instead of saying anything he remained quiet, not wanting to say a word that might cause her to change her mind, and when the strap was undone, effectively freeing the Shifter, he moved. His arm wrapped around her, his body rolled, and he soon had her pinned down instead...

Once he'd reversed their positions he found himself starring down at her in a somewhat bedazzled manner. His mind was racing with what he should do which battled it out with what his body felt that he should do instead. It was a battle between the two, his heart having no place in the battle and its opinion completely ignored... before he gave a shrug. Screw it... no reason why they shouldn't just enjoy a bit of time, just the two of them, right? Not as though either of them were forcing the other, it was just attention and affection both were starved for after being forgotten by the ones they cared about when those two people came together instead.

Shaking his head to clear such thoughts, wanting to think only of the one with was with, Chal leaned over to press his mouth to that of the Leaf Tribeswoman once more...

Chal woke up a short time after the Leaf Tribeswoman had, starring up at the branches in a confused manner, shifted in place, then jerked upright as he realized where he was. He'd slept on the ground?! What in Jauhar had caused him to do something as stupid as that?! And where were his pants!? He found himself looking from side to side, trying to recall what he'd done, before he realized that he wasn't alone. His eyes turned to looking toward the back of the woman that was standing there, bent over and being sick, and then to himself again, "Ahh... damn it..." Oops... that wasn't what he'd been going for at all when he'd descended from the trees to try to keep her from being eaten by some dangerous forest creature. Instead it seemed that he'd taken the place of that creature and pounced...

Shaking his head he forced himself to his feet, one hand rubbing against his aching head, before he went about fetching fallen articles of clothing. This was the very last thing that he had been planning on happening, not that a person in their right mind did plan this sort of thing... at least he hoped not. Once he'd found his pants he was quick to yank them on, glancing over at her through his free flowing, and very messy hair, "Ahh... I..." Damn, he had no idea what to say at the moment. This was a first for him in many, many things and he had no idea what one was supposed to say after such a strange event was all said and done with, "Ummm... are you alright?" Probably the best idea of what to ask, especially given it seemed as though she were having a bad reaction to the alcohol, what she'd done with him, sleeping on the ground the bug, or a mix of all of those things.

Chalcedony couldn't help but to wince a little, "I-I guess... not..." Yeah, no... she actually looked a little terrible in fact. No only getting sick but she'd collapsed to her knees as well. Shifting in place he walked over to her, setting the clothing down that he'd gathered next to her, "Hang on a second..." As though she looked as if she were going to be running off in the next moment or so, though maybe she would flee when he turned his back? He supposed it was up to her but if she sat still for long enough he could bring her a cup.

Walking over to one of the nearby trees he climbed up it a little ways, looking around, and then broke off one of the curved leaves that were good for collecting water. He made his way down carefully, took a sip from it, then walked over to her, "Here, drink this." He said, figuring that she would want to rinse the bad taste out of her mouth. He knew his tasted bad and that was just from the alcohol going down one way instead of coming up a second, which he was sure tasted that much worse, "Its safe, I promise." The trees tended to do a good job cleaning the water as it feel from leaf to leaf until it was finally collected in the curved leaves toward the bottom.

Chal gave a nod of his head, looking away as she drank from the lief, wanting to her privacy of a sort even though it felt a little late for all of that given the fact that they had... kind of... well... yeah. His cheeks colored a bit at the thought before he glanced over at her, keeping his eyes on her face, "Ahh... it's... it's not a problem, the least I can do..." He said, cheeks coloring that much more. It was the least he could do? That was a stupid thing to say he thought to himself, at least he really felt like it probably was. It was like he was trying to buy her off with water or something after what had happened. Man, this was so awkward and embarrassing...

"Huh? Oh... yeah, is it? Keilana... umm... I'm Chalcedony..." He said, lifting a hand to scratch it against the back of his head. It seemed as though they were a little, well more like a lot, late to the whole introduction part of all of this but at least they were doing it? Better late then never? Though it would probably have been better if they did that before the other things that they had done during their first one on one meeting. He wondered if he should say that it was nice to meet her? Probably not, she might take that the wrong way and he would become intimately acquainted with that hammer of hers. It was probably one of those times where he should tread carefully, huh? He didn't want to upset her anymore then he already might have.

He shifted in place a moment before he went about gathering up his things, trying to get them all in order, before he went over to where his shield was still sitting stuck between the fallen log and the roots of the tree. He blamed it for all of this happening, not sure how the shield was at fault but it was easier to blame it for the moment while he worked on getting it freed from the spot it was jammed at.

Chal gave a few tugs on the shield before it popped loose, stumbling back a couple steps, then set to brushing it off though it had a few new scrapes on it to mark this strange sort of event. Turning to look over at Keilana, taking in the fact that she seemed to be done with her water, he started back over toward her tossing his shield onto the pile that he'd gathered so far, "Your hammer? Yeah, sure... so long promise not hit me with it." He said as he walked over to where it had been left, looking it over closely, and knew that if she decided to take a swing with it that she would be able to do some rather extensive damage quite easily.

Grabbing hold of the thing he heft the hammer up and over his shoulder, walking over to her with it, giving a little whistle as he did so, "Wow, I have to say I am a bit impressed." He murmured as he lowered the weapon down to set it next to her before holding a hand out to her, offering her a hand up, "Is there... umm... anything else I can get you?" He asked, not sure what else he could do but was willing to do anything she told him to do at this point to make up for what he'd done while they were drinking. Best that he just offer himself up to her mercy at this point, do whatever she told him to do so long as it didn't come to harming himself, and hope that he was able to appease her. Last thing he wanted was an arrow in the a** because she went running to her idiot brother to tattle on him... Sure, she had equal parts in this little excursion but the archer wouldn't have to know that and given he already didn't like Chal he doubted it would take much prodding on the part of his sister to get the guy to try to kill him...

Chalcedony shook his head, "I... don't think I quite understand why they do either." He agreed, after all their time together was a bit on the hazy side, wasn't it? Not to mention on an average day that he surely wouldn't have done what he'd done under the influence of the stuff, "I don't think I will be drinking it again." He preferred to have his memories intact, even if some of them were on the painful side. Shaking his head to clear such thoughts away, he decided that he wouldn't worry about the past right now when his present were far more... well, present.

"Help you dress?" Well now, that wasn't something that he had been expecting for her to ask but it was doable enough. He wouldn't say so outside but he'd dressed his siblings before, especially his younger ones, while taking care of them. How much different could this be? Aside from the fact that she wasn't little, wasn't one of his siblings, and he'd slept with her? On second thought it was a completely different entirely... cheeks flushed he hurried over to fetch the clothing, "Y-Yeah, I can help." He said, hurried going about the task of helping her get into her under things first, allowing her to have modesty at least... though was such a thing really all that important any after what they did? Given he wasn't sure how much she remember, and knowing how much he didn't remember, he supposed it was up for debate how modest the Leaf Tribeswoman was feeling at the moment.

Once that was done he reached for her shirt next, helping her into that, then the pants last since she was a bit on the wobbly side and they would be the most complicated to get into because of that, "Alright, feel free to hold onto me while you step into them." He said to her.

"Yeah, that is true... I came to the, ah, party, a bit later then you." He said, glad that he had been here because, if nothing else, he'd been here in case anything showed up... though he supposed that he had done enough damage himself by being here, didn't he? Bah, he should have stayed in the tree and watched over from a distance, he would have done a better job at keeping her safe he thought to himself as they finished up getting her clothing rearranged once more. It almost looked as though they hadn't done anything inappropriate... save for the markings that the two of them bore upon their skin and the various bits of debris that clung to their hair. You know, other then all of those telltales signs they were totally in the free and clear he thought to himself in a somewhat sarcastic manner.

At mention of food he looked around for a moment, "Probably not a good idea to eat anything heavy, it might not agree with your stomach. There are other things though, fruit for instance?" He suggested, then blinked when she gave him an out of the blue compliment, "Ah... thanks that's nice of you to say." A shame that he was far better when he was in the position of a friend, huh? It kind of screwed him over as far as Takoda went, that was for sure. Again he pushed those thoughts away, not wanting to even think about it for a moment. He refused to think on that or really anything else complicated at the moment that wasn't to do with their currently situation.

"So... ahh... what now?" He found himself asking, wondering if she wanted to stick around to find something to eat. Or would she rather run off for home? He doubted that, given their mistake, that she would really want to hang out with him all day. It was a pretty strange and awkward situation that they were in but either way he would still accompany her back to the edge of Jauhar at least, not sure if he wanted to go much further then that lest her idiot of a brother see him and get the wrong idea about an already complicated situation.
