 As Miraldae's body warmed up, his motions became more fluid and his strikes faster and stronger until eventually it looked like all of his strikes were one long continuous motion. He continued practicing for a few more minutes before delivering his final strike and freezing. With one last fluid motion, he sheathed his sword before walking over to the fire to occumpany Bastien. "Hey, sorry about getting a little extreme on you before." he said as he slowly sat down. "Fighting is more than a job to me, it's my life, so I tend to take it a little too seriously sometimes."

We fear what we cannot understand yet we embrace love... "Eh" Bastien shrugged it off. "You didn't kill me, so I suppose it's okay." He said with a slight chuckle. He continued to hold his hands to the fire, trying to will his fingertips back into feeling. They had gone numb, just like his toes, and he really wanted to feel them again. ...Thus a contradiction against which no one can argue

"That's why I didn't use my actual sword." Miraldae said with a small laugh as he stared into the fire. "You know, it's hard for me to imagine a place like your forest must have been. I don't think I've ever seen a peaceful place. I probably wouldn't be comfortable there anyway." At this point he was more talking to himself, but it probably wasn't that evident. The flickering flames dancing in front of him reminded him of all the places and people he had seened burned to the ground. "I'm a creature of battle now."

Bastien allowed him his thoughts, having nothing to add to them. It had been peaceful in his forest. Except for that one day... He shook his head trying to get away the bad memory. It was his fault anyway, so he wasn't allowed to be sad about it.

"So why did you leave your forest anyway?" Miraldae said, looking over at Bastien. "The world can't possibly be that appealing to you. It's full of scum and murderers." He supposed to an ignorant person like Bastien the world might seem like an interesting place from the outside, but Miraldae was curious why Bastien didn't crawl back into his forest when he saw how bad a place it really was. Maybe he just hadn't seen anything too bad yet, althrough Miraldae didn't find that too likely. After all, Bastien had mentioned the Akiko had lost her eye because of him.

 Lina awoke with a light yawn, sitting up and blinking a few times. She rubbed her eye s and looked around, not yet realizing the small blanket of snow over her. She moved to prepare a fire, shivering uncontrollably. She saw the already prepared one and rushed to it. (Edit)

We fear what we cannot understand yet we embrace love... Bastien grimaced. "Originally it was just a simple outing. I received an invite to that masquerade up at the castle a while back. Everything went wrong and I didn't understand what was happening most of the time. Akiko tried to protect me and lost an eye. " His face looked regretful when he said the last part. "I decided that if something wrong were to happen to the forest, both me and AKiko wouldn't have any idea what to do, so I'm on a quest to teach her how to speak, and teach both of us more about the world in general." He sighed, "But your right, the forest was much better, but sometimes there are redeeming qualities to the worst of things. It almost seems like I've already got the baddest things behind me." ...Thus a contradiction against which no one can argue

"I was busy in the Karavos Mining Coloneis during that masquerade, but I've heard some strange rumors. What exactly happened there?" Miraldae asked curiously. He glanced over as Lina huddled over the fire before returing his attention back to Bastien. Lina would probably take a couple minutes to wake up anyway and he wanted to hear what had transpired during that dance.

We fear what we cannot understand yet we embrace love... "I'm not exactly sure. A portal was opened, and terrible things burst forth from it. Then, just as a few people prepared to do something about it, another portal was opened, sucking half the castle into it. Many people died, me and Akiko got lucky." He explained the best he could. He really didn't understand most of what happened, through the chaos [[and me having to leave on e day that weekend...]]. He really wished he could give a more detailed explanation, but it was all he had.
[[I gotta go soon.]] ...Thus a contradiction against which no one can argue

((Alright, see ya.))
"Sounds like it would have been fun." Miraldae said as he thought about fighting these 'terrible things', as Bastien had described them. Of course he had no idea what the things could have been, but he could just imagine a flood of demons streaming out of portal. "So how is the small-chested princess doing this morning?" Miraldae asked with a small laugh, turning his attention to Lina.

Lina began purring as she warmed up, forgetting that she was alone. As a cat it was natural for her but her human instincts saw it as embarrasing so she suppressed it when she was happy. She kept warming herself up, purring the whole time.(edit: I got to go for an hour! Ill be back soon!)

"Oh, c'mon. You're not going to react even a little?" Miraldae said with a small laugh. "You're no fun." He noticed the purring, but didn't think anything of it. The girl was obviously a neko after all, so he didn't think it odd at all for her to purr.

Lina frowned. "Im not going to react at all!" She huffed, grumbling to herself. "Stop teasing me about my chest!" She huffed, tending the fire, her cat tail flicked angerly.

"What're you going to do if I don't?" Miraldae said with a small laugh. "Alright, alright. I'll let up. So how long have you been a bounty huntress anyway?" He was a little curious becase Lina didn't look that old, but she already had aquired a great reputation. Of couse a lot of that was probably due to her weapon, but she still had to have some of her own skills.

Lina smiled. "9 years. Ever since i was ten years old." She giggled. "Sounds wierd, huh, a ten year old girl, using an oversized axe. I guess im quite the freak." She sighed, depressed due to the fact that she was different.
