Welcome to Gaia! ::

Clover nodded her head in reply, letting little to no emotion show. "Well, I guess this will be a challenge." She never gave it much thought, but didn't mind much either way. It wasn't the easy way out that she was accustomed to. Clover felt a bit uneasy at this thought. Was it wise involving herself in a noble's matters? She had to let herself just believe that there was no other way. Clover sighed in reply to Epotheros' question, "It no longer exists. How about you, do you have a home?"

Clover listened to Epotheros with some concern. She thought how empty one’s life must be, not being able to remember anything of one’s past. Her life was nothing special, but at least she could remember it. She remembered the murderers she had shot down and the families she helped. Other than those people she had passed in life she had no one. She preferred it that way. Thinking about Epoteros’ situation for a bit she commented, “He must be a kind person, this lord who saved your life.”

Clover’s gaze drifted about the surveying the area as she listened . “Yeah, I’m not too sure about this whole artifact thing myself. Probably just a noble with a hobby of collecting artifacts and such.” Clover knew that what she had said was more than likely false, but believing this was a bit more comforting.

(( I'm going to go to dinner now. I'll be back in an hour or so.))
Clover looked about as they approached a large clearing. Her eyes lit up. She could feel the wind’s presence strongly in this place.

“It’s perfect,” she quickly replied to Epotheros. With such a strong presence of the wind’s aura, this was more than a safe location to set up camp for the night. Clover rode Alfie to the stream and dismounted letting him quench his thirst. She gave a soft click towards Amicus who then flew up to a nearby tree and perched himself on a high branch.

For the first time in a while Clover smiled. Maybe this journey would be bearable. She nodded agreeing to Epotheros’ words. As Epotheros went to gather wood she took the tarps and laid them on a flat strip of earth. Clover circled the tarps tugging at thier corners, attempting to straighten any creases that were produced when she laid it down. After she was satisfied with the tarp she took her quiver from her back, sat down on one of the tarp’s edges and began inspecting her arrows for any imperfections.

Clover was almost done inspecting her last arrow when she noticed Epotheros emerge from the forest. She watched as he set up the ring. Her eyes widened with amusement when she saw him start the fire with only a snap. How interesting, she thought to herself. Of course there were stranger things out there. Clover was still impressed by what she had just witnessed. Clover shook her head trying to return from her thoughts when she heard Epotheros speak. She acknowledge what he said, but stayed where she was. She had no idea where the blankets were.

A small smirk skated across Clover’s face. Irony always made her laugh inside. She figured the cold gear would suffice, and hopefully Tramer would be arrive soon. A slightly confused look shown on Clover’s face when Epotheros walked over to her and kneeled beside her. She listened to his explanation of the powder. She nodded, though she knew nothing would happen. Even if it did, she could fend for herself rather well. She took the flask to appease him, and watched him and Kamot dart into the forest.

“Great now what’ll I do?” she asked under her breath in a slightly sarcastic tone. She looked up towards the trees and clicked her mouth. Within moments Amicus flew down to her perching on her now held out arm. “Well friend, this is going to be a long journey,” she commented to Amicus who cocked his head to the side and then began surveying the area turning his neck every which way.

Clover sat patiently with Amicus, who occasionally left her arm to circle the clearing, but then returned to perch on his new companion’s arm that was now resting on Clover’s knee. Clover starred into the fire, boredom consuming her. She felt the warmth of the fire and began to fall asleep where she was sitting as Amicus came and went.
