Welcome to Gaia! ::

..Darkness dies.

Tavii almost jumped out of her skin at the sound of the knight's voice, but she made sure not to show. " In the carriage. Makes since for a man like that to carry a few around." , she whispered back. For some reason, her heart started beating faster. She clutched where her heart was, unsure of what was wrong with herself. " I was just thinking...We should probably try and head to the desert. You remember what that message said, right? " Follow in the steps of your ancestors."--or something like that. Anyway, I heard from my dad that the original Seven came from across the Death Plaines.", she said quietly, bending over to show him on the map. " It's weird, though....Why would our enemy--whoever they are--give us a heads up about their intentions? It doesn't make sense..."

Cain nods a bit. "Your right, it doesn't make any sense for our enemy to tell us where to go. But following in the steps of the ancient heros is never a bad idea... if you guys are their descendents, we might come across their weapons." he couldn't help a smile at the prospect of getting to see real legendary weapons.

He was a little distracted by his thoughts though when he saw her hand go to her chest. He found himself blushing unconciously, scratching the back of his head nervously. "Um... are you alright?"

Cain blinked in surprise. honestly... the idea hadn't crossed his mind. He was just a simple knight. He fought for what he believed in but... he never considered he could be a descendant of someone so important. "I guess your probably right, everything seems to point that way..." he says, though not sounding completely convinced.

"Are you sure?" he asks, taking a step closer to her and placing his real hand on her forehead, as if to see if she could be sick. "You can talk to me about anything, you know?"

((that was a short post, you okay Ring?))

Cain finds himself blushing with embarasment. He had usually been insulted by his fellow knights for disobeying orders all the time... but the people around the city always loved him. he guessed it would be the same among these who did what was best for others, without worying about the laws.

"Are you sure, your forehead feels warm..." he lifts up her bangs with his hand and presses his forehead against hers. He couldn't help blushing at being so close to her, but it was the most accurate way to feel someones temperature.

((no no, it was fine. i just wanted to make sure you were alright.))

Cain found himself blushing madly, for that brief moment when their lips had connected. It had passed by so quickly... almost like a dream. but there she was in his lap, it had happened. But something must have been wrong, it wasn't the time for personal feelings. he stowed the map carefully in his pack before picking her up and carrying her back to the tent to rest, this time however, he let her stay in his lap... though he wasn't completely sure of his own emotions at the moment...

((~^^ your concern is appreciated ^^~))

Tavii began to moan every now-and-then, obviously in pain(ah--but not too much^^). She clutched the knight's shirt, fazing in and out of dreaming and reality. When she finally steadied her head a little bit, she said weakly, " C-Cain....I think I'm...sick..." Her eyelids slipped for a second, but she recovered quickly, though they remained only half-open. After a moment, she continued. " This might be...bad for the trip...I really...ooh...We should...go to the..D-Death Plaines...all of us...I know it's...what we're...supposed to do...She...She said so...Madly said..we should...go"

((woot! hi kyne!))

Cain looks her over worriedly, stroking her hair in a somewhat comforting manner. "don't worry, we'll head to the Death Plains, as soon as your feeling better. If we go with you in this condition you could end up..." he didn't want to finish the sentence, the plains had gotten that name for a reason. And he didn't want to thik of that eventuality right now...
