Welcome to Gaia! ::

The cat looked at her, glowing eyes staring straight at her as it meowed again and lashed its tail. Staring down at her legs it continue to lash it's tail as Ree muttered something about third degree burns.

The cat stared at her again and slowly floated her up, testing the weight it stop lashing its tail and headed back toward Ree"Mrrrrrr" , normally it wouldn't have but they had no familiarity with the area and no way to easily avoid being seen or followed if she was seen so better to get her back to its main body.

The cat hurried as Ree pushes himself to his feet turning to open the door with a faint frown then jus opening the door, watching the cat enter the room followed by the women. ".....Those look bad. " he muttered but stayed where he was as the cat lowered her and turned back to try and do a little bit of healing as he felt a little light headed.

"Well I knew I that was going to make someone unhappy. I just didn't that it was a person" he leaned back slightly away from her has as she reached out to him. She wouldn't be the first one but it was always disconcerting. "I'm Ree..and I'm yes they are s little odd " he said quietly with a hint of discomfort as she sat up. The cat moved away and headed back outside to keep watch giving him disconcerting double vision now and then even a mentalcomment or two of him being the lazy one.

"Don't try to move to much, you have multiple third degree burns and you won't feel them but they are there. We need to move or stay ... " worried about her cough."Can you tell me what is happening in this city? Why they are going after you..or at least magi and what is wrong with the true races here?" Wanting ..hoping she can confirm or dispel a doubt of his as he reached out and sent a little more healing to her but saving energy for later.

That explained the city in ruins and confirmed his worry in the way the humans just turned on him as if he had done seething wrong. Damn it, he usually tried to avoid places like this.

Ree looked at her sadly "That is for human travelers right? Why would they bother to differentiate a passing true race? " he shook his head, guessing they drug the food and he would have likely fallen for it, darn it, darn it, darn it.

" What are you trying to do? Because in the best case I could fly you over to the main land tomorrow ...assuming they don't find us" he muttered looking at her leg as he basically told her how he got here, they needed somewhere safe, already he was planning on how to keep her safe as best he could. Killing someone for some stupid story like that....destroying a town for slaves. It was just like Criel....mini Criel.

"You mentioned a purple sky tomorrow what happens during that?" he asked as well with a frown for a moment seeng double then not.

"Lovely.... I wish for a stick up the butt for a certain ghost....all the way up the colon " he muttered quietly then shook his head. "I seem to be in the phase of trusting random stranger lately ... " he closed his eyes for a moment, seeing outside and sighing softly trying to figure out what he was going to do before opening them again. He wasn't that trusting of her either but it didn't seem like he could trust to many people here...and someone he just rescued seem to be the best bet ..ironically.

"A few more questions. When the sky turns purple what is preventing any flyer from leaving? What is the defense? And I assume any traveler caught within those 25 days suddenly becomes a life long guest?" He ask quietly holding his hand out and down to indicate she should lower her voice.

"Next set of questions question. Who is Rika and why is she and others..I assume captured?" He asked quietly with a sigh. "I need to know...I might be able to help because I was sent here...not for this or really anything in particular just sent here, hence trusting strangers phase " he rolled his eyes a little. "Out of a list of three options this was one, except they never said what I might find here..nor did anything online." He frowned and shook his head " However, I am not particularly supportive of burning of people alive...I can help you or just ...really get in trouble myself wandering around " he frowned, dreading this already but needing to know about the purple sky thing.

"My help would include getting you get to a safe area if you know of one ..and finish healing those wounds" he motioned to her feet with a feeling of dread at what he was even considering trying to do...and he should heal her feet now anyways.

Ree took the crystal but narrowed his eyes back at her intently. Stubborn...just like Mara. "They tried to burn you.....do you want to die? Because they are likely just going to go do that again or worse" not understanding at all.

The cat phased back through the door and jumped onto his shoulder, white and black and making a soft mrring sound while lashing its tail.

Ree kept his eyes narrowed as the colors on the cat switched completely to white and his expression relaxed a bit. "Sorry, I can't do more but ..." He said nearly emotionlessly as he Shrouded her in thick thick shadows, but there was nothing he could do for the smell with her hunters so close by.

"Don't make a sound if they come in, this should last you a few minutes " he said glancing up toward the ceiling and shrouding any hanging lights as well, letting only natural light in. Assuming that they were coming in so fast meant they were doing a cursory check around, this might give her more of a chance.

Frowning faintly at her he sighed and looked out the window and sight-teleported out. (Sight teleport:9 left)

Ree crouched down silently watched from one of the roofs as the men look over the area where they had tried to burn Vina earlier. His eyes cold as he stared at them and the body and the memory of the excited look on the other person's face..it made him a little sick both the glee he saw there and his own action of making him the scape goat. Everyone was bright but he was starting to learn everyone could also be ugly.

He noted each one encase he encountered them later but it seemed that they weren't going to head out and look for Vina just yet, that gave her some times as well as him. If he found something he could come back for her if she was still there, either ways he was still to tired to do the ocean crossing again even if he did use a skill instead without collapsing on the other side.

Vina's warning of the 10 days being watch made him think that he only arrive undetected due to her near execution. Which meant he couldn't return to the mainland and replenish, not with the city he had passed in rubble and he didn't know how far the nearest town was. At least he had packed enough food when he took off and replenished along the way but it was not enough for nearly a month..maybe a week and a little more if he was careful, having planned on replenishing once he arrived here. Well that was a no go....he just hoped that it was drugged food at the inn and not that the food here in general was tainted. And ...paranoia....right keep that in check. Which meant that he didn't trust the inn at all...innkeeper or not he is not staying somewhere where he would wind up a slave from the wrong choice.

"What am I doing?" He muttered quietly to the cat, relieved at least that Vina was safe for the moment while also guilty and slightly annoyed she ordered him to leave when she was that injured. He had no reason to stay at all...if anything just the fact that they would be trying to capture him and brand him was more than enough reason for him to leave.

Reaching up his fingers brushed along his neck an action he had seen Tri do unconsciously during their trip to Belrad and now he understood why...an understanding he wish he never gain from the person he never thought would do it.

He did wish he had more information but if he barely found anything online except something that was years old then he could try and look at the government offices...except his warrent was still up, who knows if they didn't get an update every time their island came near the coast. Then was also Lady Car....something caramel? At the south end of the island.....not something he had any intrest in looking at not without Vina there. Yes Caramel's actions made him angry like it did many of the true races here, it was like Criel and the Renegades and it made him feel angry but also apathetic ...mainly apathetic like his general attitude all the way here until just recently.

He spent a lot of time with his thoughts alone during the trip even when he knew she was there. The fact she was there made things a little more bearable but he was tired in a way that didn't affect his body.

At least he tried to distract himself by giving running commentary to himself out loud at things he passed and....he was distracting himself. Resting would be good but not here..not at the inn. He'll look around maybe try to find something a little more suiting..an island ...see how big it is ..avoid all those areas that look like great hiding places because that is where most run away might have gone too....try and locate the richer areas ...at least Tri's teaching hasn't gone to waste. Then tomorrow, if he found something and Bina was gone, he'll see if he could return back to the mainland, quest or no quest.

Sparing some energy to extend shroud to his wing tips and hair again he took wing, the cat dimming it's light as it adjusted carefully but almost seem to defy physics ...it likely did just being a part of him and not likely truely there. Going higher and away from the men he tried to get a better idea of the island.
