Welcome to Gaia! ::

Meanwhile, out in the woods past the lake...

The afternoon sun was now just lowering from its zenith; it had not been kind to Elfir as he dragged himself further from the tavern with every step on his one good foot; noble it may have been, but now he was starting to question mutilating his leg; the blood loss causing him to feel quite faint, periodically punctuated by sharp pangs of pain. Still, he dragged himself on; he couldn't bear the thought of returning. Everyone had been so nice, and yet his bitterness accumulated over the duration of the 5 years since his former merc force had been anihailaited had driven them away. He had finally caused Sakura to crack; he didn't know how, but it was his fault and he was sure his absence would prevent that from happening again. When he felt he could go no further, Elfir gingerly sat down on a stump to take a breather; by now he was thouroghly dehydrated and exhausted. "But now," he wondered, "where will I go after this?" Fighting was about the only thing he'd ever been good at, and with even that gone, he had no use to anyone. Looking at his mangled leg, he figured chances of ever regaining that strength were slim. He also thought that he'd need to get this bandaged soon if he wanted to live.

Then you hear a slow quiet sqeak from the door and Winston walks slowly in and sits down at the bar "can i get a drink"he asks and puts some gold coins on the counter "I think this is enough" he says with the same expression of sadness, and he hides the scars on his face

[[ YOU ARE NOT A JERK! *hugs* there will not be a next time, we're keeping this time.]]

she came out of her room, staring at the ground. she had changed her outfit. she wore a black mini skirt that was mid thigh. She also wore a tight high top black jacket that ended two inches above the skirt. The sleeves were tight up to the elbow, but billowed out past there, completely hiding her hands. It had a zipper that ended just above her bellybutton, then spread out; showing a small triangle of skin and the upper part of the skirt. Beneath the jacket was a simple black, mid-drift tube top. Her hair was up in a bow...literally. Her long black locks were folded and twisted to look like a large bow. Her heavy ruby had morphed from a collar to two bracelets and two anklets. Her black tails hung limp behind her. Still staring at the ground, she made her way downstairs.
[[translate beneath what you say for people that don't know japanese.]]

"Bad." Was all she said, as she walked behind the bar. Her tails brushed the floor slightly; drooping. before she could actually move behind the bar, she froze. Turning, and raising her head for the first time, she stared out the main window. A frightening sight to any, her eyes had gone from Onyx to pale opal. There was no pupil. As she walked to the door, pushing it open, she pushed off, jumping and ending right in front of Elfir on the branch of the giant oak. Gently picking him up, she jumped backwards, ending up in the foyer, having gone so fast that she hadn't even had to open the door again. Walking eerily straight-backed, she laid him down on the couch. she sat down by his knees, staring at the floor by her feet. " How does his leg look? I know it's hurt, but i can't see it's condition." Her voice was dead, but still rang like a bell across the room, even though she had spoken in a whisper.

She kept her gaze on the floor. " I know that, but how does it look?" She put her hand, covered by the sleeve still, on his chest. "He's just asleep, so it can't be that excruciatingly painful, and he is only in a light sleep, so it' snot a coma from blood loss. I can only see life energy, i can't see anything but that. " She kept her gaze fixed on the floor.
