She smiled brightly and carefully took the sash and kitten, wrapping it over her shoulder. "Yes, of course. Even if I ere to get lost, I would have my ways of being found again." she said sweetly, bowing politely to them both and slowly headed back in the direction they came.

* Nightfall soon came around and Kyo had invited Ziven to dine with him and his daughter while they waited for Ali, who had been gone practically for several hours now. Kyo tossed a glance at where the entrance doors would be hadn't there been a wall between him and them, grumping a little. His irritated mood rather amusing to Rika.* Being polite seems to bounce off Ali like water on rubber, Is he like this with you too?
Just ditching you and running along by himself? I've seen lone wolves with more social skills then him.

After politely accepting their offer and doing what she could to help, Ziven found she was having a very good time with Kyo and Rika. When asked about Ali, she giggled a bit before responding. "Yes, on occasion. Half the time when I find him again, he is literally a bloody mess. Which, now that I think of it, brings worry to mind. I know he can care for himself and know he is rarely keen on having a helping hand .. I still wish to help with the look out." she said softly, her eyes trailing downward. "Perhaps I should find him. You mentioned magic is not used much in this place. If I were to .. would it cause alarm?"

Don't worry, though there are many of the Warlords followers still here that seeks retribution. Ali can probably take care of them.*Kyo took a long sip of his tea afterwards, Rika looking at Ziven afterwards with a smile.* You should've seen him when he was here training, every night he would sit outside with water and a piece of cloth, treating his injuries. I wasn't allowed to help him no matter how badly injured he got, said it felt unnatural for him to get help from others.

"I know .. and I understand completely. I too refuse help often, it does not feel natural to me either though I appreciate when others want to help. Our reasons for this are rather different. Though knowing this does not stop me from trying. I have upset him several times with my insisting." she said with a hint of laughter in her voice again though she did not giggle. She looked to them both with a shy smile, wondering more and more about them. "Have you lived here all your life?"

Yes, both of us have always been here.* Kyo smiled a little after having spoken and continued to eat, Rika being the chatty one of the two took to the words afterwards.* You are Ali's student?

"Yes. He is teaching me the guns and combat of hands." she said softly, a touch of pink coming to her cheeks, though she was not entirely certain why she was feeling shy to answer this question. "Ali is an excellent teacher, though he can be harsh."

Amazing!, How far have you progressed?* Rika smiled even larger and brighter at Ziven, anxiously waiting to hear more.*

Ziven blushed more now, looking incredibly shy. Though she did not wish to be disrespectful, she did not make eye contact when speaking next, trying to hide her now red cheeks. "Oh, uh .. I have progressed well. We have moved from focusing on the hand combat to learning the guns .. we would not move to something new if he was not pleased, I know this." she said softly. Finally feeling comfortable looking up again, her cheeks were still pink but the red was diminishing. "I know not what would be gauged as progress as I am his only student outside of moving on. With the guns, we started with ones that were not loaded, moved to those which are loaded and are now trying the larger ones .. oh dear, I believe it was the shot gun? Guns confuse me, I have not found a book that sufficiently describes all for me." she said softly, looking shy as she ran her hand over her hair, feeling as if she were itching.

If it would help, I got a bunch of them in my library. Also I'd say your overall progress is...15%* Ali smiled at all three of them there he stood with a really torn shirt, bruised arms and a chinese broadsword slipped inbetween his pants and belt. The sight of him causing Kyo to frown, Rika to look rather surprised and probably Ziven worried.* Old man, you could have warned me about fanatical followers bent on revenge you know. Espessially that they were so many.

Blushing a new, she did not look up when she first heard Ali speaking, feeling embarrassed that he had heard her comments. The embarrassment continued when he said she had progressed so little in his opinion, though she did not continue to comment on the subject for now. Looking up slightly with her eyes, she saw the expression on their faces, immediately turning to look to Ali with a soft gasp. "Ali! Why did you not send word that you were assaulted!" she said in a strong voice again, jumping to her feet and moving closer to him, carefully examining him with her eyes before checking him over with magic in the areas that seemed to be injured. Showing him an expression half between a frown and a pout, she did not ask for permission before cleaning and repairing his clothes, magically cleaning and then wrapping his wounds, but did nothing to heal him. "It is a good thing I left with Kira else she might not have survived in such ruckus." she said in her more normal soft tone again, her worry had melted in to something more like guilt and anticipation, knowing that Ali would likely scold her, but she did not care.

Dumbass, Kira would be fine. I always get messed up far worse when I'm protecting someone yet those I protect come out of it without a scratch, Right Rika?* Rika looked down at the floor as Ali spoke to her, Ali did have a abillity to get more punishement when he was protecting others. Mostly because he didn't become a priority anymore then.* Besides She's little, it would be easy to take care of her. I'm not some novice when it comes to beating the s**t out of people.

She looked up to Ali with a stern expression, not saying anything, still looking a bit sad and upset. Even if he were protecting her, even though he was experienced, accidents can happen and little Kira was so little and weakened from being out on her own for a while. Ziven was not certain of what she wanted to say but knew that little she could say would do anything other than bring upset to the conversation. Lowering her gaze finally, she looked shy again but did not say or do anything further for now.

However, I would probably be in a great deal of pain if I had her along with me so it was a wise move to let you take care of her. In any case stop worrying about me, I've never asked you to nor do I see the point in it.* Ali patted Zivens shoulder a little and sat himself down by the table, grabbing a handful of food and eating it straight from his hand rather then a plate.* Oh and 15% progress isn't bad.

"I care for your well being, even if you do not require help or anything .. I care." she said softly as she seated herself again, bowing her head, looking shy again. It was difficult to express herself and nigh impossible for her to understand that her care was appreciated despite being resisted if not all together dismissed. As it was all she knew how to do, she continued as to her it was better than nothing. Despite the long pause, she still felt it necessary to say; "Thank you."
