xxxxxxxx☾☯☽Suzume Maika Okiita☾☯☽
Sparrow blinked slightly when he took notice of her, her head tilting slightly as if she was trying to figure out who Suzume was before remembering that was her. She had been calling herself Sparrow for so long her real name was all but forgotten by that point. Catching slight of the confused look on his face, she sighed quietly to herself…it was obvious he noticed her failed attempt at leaving. It wasn’t that she wasn’t happy to see him, there was a time when she viewed him like family! But there were also…a lot of bad memories from that time as well. She listened quietly to what he said…judging by the way he said “will”, it was clear that even if she did decide to stay behind that she shouldn’t leave until he got back, “I believe I will join you.” She said formally, a hint of coolness in her voice.
The coolness wasn’t by choice, it was something that had developed over time while she traveled alone. She had learned…it was better that way than to become close to someone and be hurt later on. However, there were some things she wanted to discuss with him…especially the rumors she had been hearing and she knew Souji was the only person who would be willing to discuss them. Feeling awkward, especially since she had seen his eyes narrow at her…even though he was smiling now, Sparrow quickly said, “It is nice to see you again. You seem well, have you been taking care of yourself?” smiling slightly as she spoke.
Location: elghinn inn
With: a bunch of people and possibly a few saints
Feeling: awkward and definitely pissed at myself
OOC: hi!

Sparrow followed Souji out the door, placing a hand on her saber to make sure it was still secured to her hip, it never felt right to be separated from her weapon so she was constantly making sure she still had it. When he spoke about being taken care of and that he was still recovering, she instinctively put a hand on her shoulder as if to hide something already hidden under her top, “Forgive me.” She said still in her formal tone, “As soon as I was healed, I had to depart immediately.” Though she couldn’t help but smile when he began teasing her, “Have you seen any of the others since?” she added curiously though it seemed his attention was turned to a flower cart nearby.
Sparrow glanced around to make sure no one was nearby before moving closer to Souji, “There actually is something I would like to discuss with you later.” She said quietly and seriously, “I’m sure the recent rumors about the dispute over the throne has reached Elghinn, am I correct? It seems finding someone willing to discuss them has proven difficult.” She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye…after all they had been through, it would be a surprise if Souji, out of all people, hadn’t heard any of the rumors, “I would just like to hear your view on these rumors if you had and to confirm if what is occurring is true or not.”
Location: elghinn inn/outside

Feeling: serious

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxpull the pin and throwxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx♫xx [[ooc]] Her meal was greatly enjoyed… for the first few bites, then she heard a name she really didn't want to hear. Souji. She didn't want to alarm her traveling companion that anything was amiss and casually continued to eat, she was sure her back was facing the person, based on the sound's direction. Guilt began to consume her, as she knew what question would be asked if she were recognized. But still, she kept up with her casual eating, taking a moment to drink from her cup of mead.
She felt her head turn to the patron that sat down at the table next to them. Was that rude of her? It wasn't as though she could stare at the person for too long. He didn't sound from the area, but she let that pass as she blankly looked around the room. She never did learn what the inside of the inn looked like, even though she grew up in the town, but she arrived blind. The only visual memories she had were of her parents and sister in Seikai before the accident. That was so long ago.
"You've got that look on your face, Tally, are you thinking about Kankyuu again?" Asthore asked her with general concern, a piece of buttered bread in hand, ready to dip in his soup.
"What? No, no, just thinking. I didn't realize I looked worried." She said with a small laugh. She was lying though, she was a little worried that she would be recognized and asked to join the Saints again. She thought that Souji had left Elghinn, as well as--"S-Souji!"--there his name was again! This time, it sounded very familiar. She couldn't pinpoint who it belonged to, but it was definitely a Saint. She held her breath, picking a grape off it's stem, as long as she kept her back facing them, she would look like just another patron.
Popping the grape into her mouth, she released her breath slowly as she heard the two leave. It was too close a call for her. Maybe she could think up a disguise, maybe wear make up to hide her general appearance, or put her hair up, maybe get fancier clothing. One thing she didn't want happening is Asthore treating her differently because she was a Saint. People had mixed reviews on them; some treated them like gold, whereas others felt they were a waste of time and didn't do a proper job, seeing as they lost one the last time. Either way, she knew she would have to keep a low profile while in Elghinn for sure now.
feeling? Close call.
anyone there? Some patrons, nothing too threatening
where am i? Elghinn Inn
armed with? My hairpin dagger, but I have no need for it right now

 ☽ Darius Strogenheim - Elf Travelor ☾ Darius closed his eyes in gratitude, savoring the hot stew that was in front of him. Every place he had visited had something different and the food was essentially his favorite part. Although, he shuddered at the thought about the spicy food he had in the city of Kankyou, an unpleasant memory. One bite of a meat considered a delicacy there and his mouth burned hot as fire.
Darius shuddered again, throwing away the memory from his mind as he began surveying the Inn. It was a cozy place, filled with raucous laughter and friendly patrons. Darius smiled as two people, who looked like old friends, greeted each other and walked out together. His eyes followed them out and he noticed another woman, whose posture was stiff even as she ate her own stew.
His brow furrowed and he cocked his head to the side in curiosity. She had also turned and looked at him and he raised his brow, noticing that she could not see, but she could hear him. He listened to the remarks exchanged between her and her companion before standing up and bringing his bowl of stew. "Dear lady, if I may be as bold as to ask for a seat with you?" he asked politely while glancing at her companion and nodding to acknowledge his presence as well.

So he hadn’t seen the others. That was a shame…Sparrow won’t deny that. She allowed Souji to lead her to the village’s edge before listening to him speak. He was right, Sparrow had been hoping she was wrong but it was in fact that all too familiar darkness, “So the rumors are true…” she murmured though quietly but she knew Souji could hear her.
Lifting a hand up, a small bird, a sparrow landed in her palm, chirping softly, “It’s not just us who can feel it. Haven’t you noticed? Everyone’s actions…their behavior…the way they shudder at the mere mention of the rumors.” She drew the bird close to her, stroking its head softly, “Even the birds feel it.” She added as the sparrow flew off into the air.
She sighed and ran her hand through her hair, “What concerns me is the royal family residing in the palace. The rumors mention a dark presence within the halls but there hasn’t been a word about the king or his son.” She sighed again, “Tomorrow I’m going to Anon and see for myself what its like.” She paused before remembering the reason why she was in Elghinn in the first place, “You…wouldn’t happen to know anyone selling any horses would you?” she asked dully hoping he wouldn’t ask why.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxpull the pin and throwxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx♫xx [[ooc]] Talaith jumped when she heard the other man's voice right next to her. She heard Asthore laugh under his breath, he always got a kick out of it when she was startled, but that's because he was always testing his stealth abilities by sneaking around her and such. Straightening herself out she smiled up at the mystery man, extending her arm to offer a seat at their table. "Yes, yes, please, you're welcome to sit with us." She said, a little bit flustered. She opened her mouth to politely ask the man about himself, but was cut off by her ever so politically correct companion.
"Whoa. Tally, he's an elf! I've never seen an elf this close before." Asthore was enthusiastic, she promised herself that he usually wasn't this rude to people in public settings. She wished he would've finished swallowing his food too, she could hear the chunk of half chew bread stuffed behind his teeth as he loudly announced to her that the man was an elf. Carefully, she kicked his shin under the table, as a sign for him to smarten up and stop acting like such a dolt.
"I apologize for my friend here, I'm Talaith and this is Asthore. What brings you to Elghinn? We normally don't see elves here this late in the year." She said with a smile at the man. She was having trouble picturing what he would look like in her head, but assumed he was probably beautiful, as most elves were. It at least explained why he was so quiet and was able to startle her. She grabbed a roll from inside the basket on the table and broke it up into pieces to dip into her stew, awaiting the hiss response to her questions, ready to kick her companion if he opened his mouth to insult the him again.
feeling? I hope he isn't offended!
anyone there? Some patrons, Asthore and the mystery man.

☽ Darius Strogenheim - Elf Travelor ☾ Darius nodded to the lady Talaith and s eated himself, just before Asthore remarked about his race. "Yes, I am an elf, from Jyogaku no less," he replied with a raised brow at Asthore. Darius couldnt help but copy Talaith and grab a roll to dip in his own stew. He had never tried that before and he moaned with pleasure at the exotic taste.
"My, this is fantastic," he remarked, "Do you always eat your stew like this my lady?" He continued eating his stew and almost choked with laughter when he heard a soft thump underneath the table, Talaith kicking Asthore no doubt.
"Well to answer your questino Miss Talaith," he said while taking a drink of water, "I am just a simple travellor, hoping to gain more knowledge about the cities around Agen." He briefly wondered where she was from herself but did not ask as it was rude in his custom to ask such personal questions. Unless the person volunteered this information, he would not ask for fear that the person might be offended.

It was also refreshing to meet someone so friendly during long travels, but there were always one or two bad apples along the way. She became a little confused when she heard the man moan, but smiled once again when she realized that it was because he had mimicked her habit of dipping bread into her stew.
"Yes, I usually do eat stew like this, especially once I'm finished to sop up the last little bit in the bowl, it really helps savour the meal." She took a drink of mead and picked up more bread, dipping it into her bowl and eating more stew. She could hear her companion slowly chewing, knowing he was probably too afraid to be kicked again. She knew he probably didn't mean to be offensive, but the man did take it very well without threatening him at all.
"We're in a similar boat, then. Asthore and I are also travellers, but we play music for weddings and other occasions. I'm originally from Kankyuu and my partner here is from Hakkei." Wow, that sounded a lot nicer than what she originally did. Born in Seikai, abandoned in Elghinn and fought the Dark Army after being trained with a sword. Being a travelling musician definitely sounded a lot better than her true past. "May I ask what your name is, sir?"
feeling? Phew, he isn't offended

Sparrow listened to his words carefully, her hand moving to her weapon. She had to admit, it was crazy…irrational…stupid and possibly suicidal but there was no way in HELL she was going to have a repeat of what happened last time! Not if she had anything to say about it! “Even if I have to stand alone!” she answered fiercely.
There was a period of peace and during that time, Sparrow had been devoted strictly to her training, perfecting her abilities and mastering her saber from dawn to dusk. Even if she had to travel alone, at least she was confident she would be able to put up a good fight. What Souji had to say next surprised her, well at least she’d have some company and the promise he wanted her to make was reasonable…actually if things did get bad, she was going to get her a** out of there faster than a hawk going after its prey, "I promise." she said coolly.
After falling silent for a good amount of time, Sparrow spoke up, “You think the others would be willing to join us? If we find them...I mean they were there…they know what happened…”

Artemis Flynn
the broken bow string
Location: road heading to Elghinn
With: two bandits (Souji and Suzume)
OOC:
   A cold breeze rolled in across the humble road leading to the prosperous town of Elghinn. This late into the day there was only one traveler still on the roads, the wind billowing their thick robes around them. Most people where smart enough to avoid the roads nearing night, due to the bandits that stalked around the outskirts of town. Unfortunately the newly christened sage had little choice in the matter, as she had to complete her pilgrimage around the land to complete her training to become a fully recognized sage of Mount Hou, which included visiting temples in each major city.
"it's getting so c-cold recently...I wish I hadn't given away the last of my money in Hakkei...I hope those kids are eating well at least" she muttered to herself, knowing she wouldn't be able to afford a thicker coat. She had grown accustomed to talking to herself since she rarely talked with others, it helped keep her sane...well atleast as sane as someone who talked to themselves could be. The woman froze however when she spotted two distant figures down the road. She couldn't really make their features out, but they seemed to be armed, one had even moved to grab their weapon. Artemises eyes went wide and gasped. "oh no...bandits" she muttered, quickly ducking behind a nearby tree to try to hide. "please just walk by please just walk by, you didn't see me, I'm not even here....so please just keep going to wherever you where headed. I don't want any trouble" she repeatedly whispered to herself, fearing that the bandits had spotted her. Ofcourse the irony was that for the bandit hunting Sparrow and Sugi, the fact she was a dark robed figure suspiciously ducking behind a tree, lying in wait, probably made HER look like the bandit in this situation.
