Jane Almadine  Jane pulled at the line to hold the fish up more, just as she was prepared to leave. She'd wave towards her before saying "Be wary of where you swim." having learned something new. Only one made the laws, but surely has democracy ever been considered like in these parts? Perhaps not, as many places were sketchy and there was always one or a few to rule. She wondered if her kind in the low deeps of the sea were any sort like that. "What is it like....darker? Warmer or colder?" she didn't question anything deeper than that, not wanting her mind to wander too far.
As Leonora would leave she'd return to the edge of the dock to stand, to hold the pole and re-use the fish she caught as bait. Though the rush of the waves and the wind that guided it continued, she felt a new form of silence has retaken claim. She'd remember this day surely, perhaps it could re-take old memories she'd play. Memories from some distance, from a time that seemed obscured.

 Leonora Medea SamsonLeonora turned back after she had gone up half way up the beach. She marched right back to Jane. "I've changed my mind." The model said as she grabbed the woman's hand. The model had a smile on her lips. "I want to spend a my time with you. I'd like to get to know you and we can even go on a date." She commented before she kissed Jane's cheek.

Emerging from the open sea, Kashi found herself by the sandy shore, basking in sunlight. Immediately, she located two young women conversing among themselves. Silently sprinting towards the nearest bolder on the shore, she hid herself and watched the two women carefully. Kashi's leather armor felt slippery and heavy against her pale skin, but she trained herself in the rain and sun, so it didn't bother her as much. If only he could see me now..., Kashi thought of her brother, whom she lost in heat of battle back in the big city. It was set on fire by the emperor of the South. War raged on for days, even weeks it seemed. She had to get away, no longer wanting to serve her own master. Growing up as a blacksmith's daughter, Kashi learned to wield a long sword for combat. She had learned to hold it with only one hand, where as most warriors would use two. Unfortunately, she had lost her sword while swimming at sea. Being hidden, quick, and silent in battle is what she knew best. Arriving at a strange shore like this one, Kashi knew not what to do, as she has been lost at sea for days. She swam her way to this shore, only hoping that she had escaped the worst.

 Children of the Earth:
Mercy & Martari When the raft came close enough to make out the shore, Mercy could make out what looking like a fishing port. She could see people moving around, and figured it would be best not to show too much of her face. She had a cloth that she used to conceal most of her head, including her mouth and pointed ears, and her shoulders. For her brother, she had a mask made from the muzzle of a young wolf. It hid his ears as well. She woke her sleeping brother before getting too close. She needed both of them being on top guard. The people may welcome them, they may not. She parked her raft on the shore and grabbed her brother's hand. "Kukaa karibu," she whispered, slinging a bag of their only things over her shoulder. They were going to see if they could slowly blend in to this place.

It's been a few days since the small child took shelter in the city of Janhall. After a rather windy storm, Firefly had no choice but to land and fend for herself. Doing so left her wing a bit torn, so flying was not an option unless she wanted to damage it further. Still, Firelfy wasn't going to let something like being grounded throw her off. If only that were true. In reality, not being able to fly was scary for the young dragon. Especially since Firefly couldn't fight very well. Living on her own has left her magically stunted, as she never had a mentor to show her how to get to her untapped potential. Because of this, she did her best to stay out of sight, snagging food when she can.
Firefly frequented the fishing port, as it was less crowded than a store or marketplace, but there was still a lot of food. If she couldn't grab an already caught snack, then she could go to the water herself. Hunting was a skill she was very proud to have, as it was one of the only things that kept her alive all these years. Fishing, however, was a bit different, but she could still manage to catch something if she needed to.
The young girl folded her wings into themselves to take up less space as she sneaked down the dock. She frequently hid behind crates and loading equipment to get closer to the fishermen's haul. The aroma wasn't her favorite, but it still made her stomach growl in anticipation. There were often boats coming in and leaving the area, so Firefly didn't yet notice the small raft that was heading this way. However, being a dragon, a lot of her skin was bright pink, and she sported horns and a long tail, so she was easy to spot.

Children of the Earth:
Mercy & Martari The two started tipping across the shore, taking heed to run in to no one. Mercy was steady watching their backs when she turned to see they had fallen in the sights of a small child. She quickly pulled her brother and her self behind a tree, hoping the small thing didn't see them, eve though she was sure she had. She was a curious looking creature; covered in a beautiful array of colors. She appeared to be around Matari's age, but in the same way, not really. Mercy slipped out from behind the tree and gave the girl a quick, but kind look. "Hodi huko," she smiled, even though her lips could not be seen. She was not sure if the girl would turn against them or not, but there was a slightly smaller chance, if she was friendly.

After a failed attempt at trying to snag a tasty fish, Firefly noticed something dart behind tree. It was something large, so it couldn't have been a native animal. She turned her attention to it, seeing a figure step into sight. Firefly thought the person was spying on her. It made her feel uneasy. Being away from people while growing up made it hard for her to recognize facial features, so Firefly couldn't tell that the woman was giving her a kind look. She was stealing after all, and thought the stranger was making it known that she was watching. Firefly decided to encounter them. Rather than going in with teeth and claws ready to pounce like usual, she thought a more peaceful approach was a better idea. Still, she felt she needed to be cautious.
She took a deep breathe and walked over, keeping a safe distance.

Children of the Earth:
Mercy & Martari Mercy dropped the bag that she was holding, but not Matari's hand. She was very interested in the girl. She was tiny and scaled. could she be a demon? No. Mercy knew one when she saw one. "Je, wewe joka?" Matari asked, peeking out from behind the tree. She looked like one fro sure, or at least, what he thought one would look like. Mercy nodded and laughed at her own failure to guess. "Are you a dragon?" she asked, repeating the question.

Firefly blinked at the smaller one's speech, not able to understand. Once the woman translated, Fire was pleasantly surprised. Some dragons take a human form, while others take their original. As for her, she is a cursed in-between, unable to change into her true appearance nor blend in with humans. However, she is a full blooded dragon, and being regarded as such was pretty nice. She nodded and smiled at the child, answering his question. As for why they were acting so strange, she still didn't know. Not that she was being any better, sneaking around and shoplifting. Still, being watched made her uneasy, as it was something she did to her own prey. Firefly looked up at the eldest, giving her an accusatory glance,"Were you both stalking me?"

Children of the Earth:
Mercy & Martari Mercy shook her head at the girl's question. "Hakuna... we were only trying not to be seen. We did not plan to draw attention." On a normal occasion, Mercy would have induced percussive memory loss by now. But she did not believe in striking a nother child. "I only hope you do not plan to start trouble for the two of us. We plan to see if we can make it in this city. Nduguye and I have been lonely nomads for a while now."

With her explanation, it didn't seem like the two were going to try anything. In fact, it seemed like they had a common goal and lifestyle. "Nomads, huh?", she spoke as if disinterested. Truth be told, Firefly was lonely too, but she didn't trust anyone enough to travel with. She wondered why these two were together. Though, she could guess that they were related. Although Firefly never made any particularly strong bonds as a hatchling, she has observed behavior from wild animals. Mother and young offspring often travel together, as well as permanent or semi-permanent mates. Of course, she knew sentient beings like elves and humans were different than animals in the wild, but some rules nearly always apply.
Her tail swayed while she thought of what to say next. She had two options, leave them be, or maybe try and learn about the city together. After a short pause, she spoke up again. "I travel a lot too…and I just got here a few days ago…I can tell you what I know"

Mercy & Martari Mercy grinned at the child's offer. "Ndiyo... We'd live your help. Wouldn't we?" The girl bowed her head, and turned to the boy whose hand she still had. A helping hand was always nice. He let go of Mercy's hand and bowed his own head. "We are pleased to make your acquaintance," he smiled. "Do you mind if I touch you, Miss?" He asked, holding his hand up.

Well, it looked like she would be here a bit longer. Though Firefly still needed to eat, the two didn't make bad company, so she didn't mind. The small child lifted his hand up, asking for permission to touch her. Firefly made a perplexed face, "Touch me? Uh…okay." She offered a clawed hand warily, thinking that's what he wanted. Her hands were black and had patches of scales here and there, which were smooth to the touch. Her hands were pretty soft, as she mainly uses her claws as tools and weapons, not her skin. The rest of her body was just as smooth, except for her knees and bottoms of her feet.

Children of the Earth:
Mercy & Matari Matari smiled widely as he pressed his hand against the dragon's. (not that she could see his lips, with the wolf mask in the way) She was scaly, yet smooth to the touch. Not only that, but he could almost feel ever emotion of her past and personality rush into him from her. She was definitely some one worth getting to know. After smiling there for a moment, mouth agape, his face eventually turned red in hue, and and the top of his head caught flames. "Jina langu ni, Matari Mutitu Mwanadongo," he smiled, pulling the mask down from over his lips, but still being careful to keep his ears covered. "Lakili... you can call me any any one of those. All together it means, 'rainy forest, child of the earth.' ""Nduguye!" Mercy screamed, putting her hands over the boy's head. She was trying to hide the fire, but it was futile. "Kuacha, Nduguye!" The last thing she needed was for any one to see that.

Her mouth opened in surprise as the childs head caught on fire. She could barely absorb the words he was saying, "Ma…Matari?" The kid seemed happy and unaware of the flame on his head, so she figured it wasn't causing him any pain. The woman, however, seemed to be trying to put it out, or just trying to hide it. Firefly herself was a magical being, even though most of her magic has yet to be tapped into. The flames didn't make her nervous, as she had witnessed quite a few interesting things in her travels to small villages and forests. She has lived behind the Veil all her life after all. "You can call me Firefly…it was the name given to me" She didn't like her name very much. She vaguely remembered some names in her group, names that meant great, powerful, wise, and kind. Names that told stories. Hers was just the name of a bug.
