Welcome to Gaia! ::

Spinning to her feet Yuri stumbled again as she drew her bow. The world was sliding farther and out of focus the longer she stood there. It took her a moment to relize she was looking at a girl, maybe a little younger than herself, "Who are you?" she asked supisiously, but the past few weeks had taken there toll on her. The sun to warm on her face she collapsed, blacking out for a few seconds she regained consiousness right before she hit the ground. Throwing out her arms to brace herself the new pain woke her up some. Breathing heavily Yuri concentrated on not passing out again.

After several drinks of water she did feel a little better. "I guess as ok as I'm going to get." Forcing her breathing to slow she took a second look at the girl. She was definately younger than she was but at least a year or so and cleaner, Yuri noted with some disgust. Looking down she realized she was almost completely covered in dirt. Even her silver hair apeared more auburn. Thinking her options over she asked, "Are you with that man out there?"

Shrugging at the comment , "Its not impossible. This is the first food or water I have had in about two weeks but I havent een hallucinated before. Anyway just because he isnt there now doesnt mean he never was."
Standing up shakily she looked to where she had last seen him and the other girl was right, Yuri saw no one.
"Do you mind if i clean up some? I imagine I look terrible. You have a name?" she laughed "or should I just call you that girl?"

Setting her bow, knife, and whip in easy reach Yuri started to peal her clothes off laying them on the rocks to be washed. Climbing in the water she submerged herself before answering, "I'm Yuri-Ana. Yuri for short. Yur the first...well first definatly real person I have seen since I got here any special reason you came?"
Using some a handful of sand she scrubbed the dirt out of her clothes then started on herself. Examining her relection a moment later she was satisfied and started to dress in her damp clothes again.

Laughing lightly, "Oh I just love a good story and this happens to be one of my favorites." Lacing up her shirt she strapped her boot back to her ankle and her sword and whip at her waist. More thinking aloud than to a particular person, "Maybe I'll go to California when I am done exploring here...I've never been."
Yuri's silverly hair stood out amoung her clothes as she re-braided the from portion. Walking from the woods she headed over to Jess, "When I was in the woods I found a metallic substance, it was liquid but barely warm...?"

"Really? That sounds interesting."
Pausing to lace her boots the rest of the way she glanced at her "I was thinking. Talking to myself all day doesnt make for a very interesting conversation." Standing up she flipped her hair back over her shoulders, "if you don't have any prior arangements then maybe you could help me look for it."
Not that she would ever admit it but Yuri really wouldnt have minded some company. Spotting a berry bush she picked a few and ate one. They were small ad black like the black rasberries of her home. Tasting ok she picked some more to make a meal.

Laughing at the irony she sank to the ground by the bush, "Only about two weeks ago."
Looking at her for a moment Yuri wondered if having company was such a good idea. She had just met this girl and knew nothing about her, for all she knew this Jess was a theif of some kind.
"You really wouldn't mind traveling with me? I don't want to impose upon your plans..."
"shut up" she mentally scolded her self. She had no reason to suspect the worst of this girl just because she didnt know her.
