Zimmian looked down. he had forgotten the arrow. "huh. Y'know, no matter how many times this happens Ikeep forgetting the pull the arrow out. It's why their so dangerous weapons, when used well, where I'm form. the usually ranged weaposn use a form of arrow that... well, vanishes once the damage is done." he alsmot slipped at that. he also kept forgetting he was several thousand year in the past and a planet that has yet to learn of gunpowder. or atleast, this area has yet to. the asians had mastered it prior to the europian people, and they might be using it by now.
with a sickening squelching noise Zimmian pulled teh arrow out of him. it would have been only slightly mroe painfull to push it out the other end.
this is the point at which people might notice that hsi blood was about the opposite color it should be. he wasn't bleeding anymore, but the arrow was stained. he wasn't trying to hide it, though. there WAS a dragon lurching around outside, after all.

"Exploding people and dying, and now vanishing arrows. My dear sir, you are quite the entertainer," she said jokingly, as it wasn't like she didn't doubt what he said was true. Rinni walked over to the window sill where she had placed the rag she had cleaned with that morning, grabbed it, then walked over to Zimmian and held it out to him to take.
"I'm no doctor," she said slowly but sharply, "but losing blood is normally not good for anyone." The conversation they had earlier still bothered her. While she didn't hold any hard feelings toward him, she did struggle to keep that from her voice.

Karoku was panting.He put his swords on the ground.He started picking up barnches and twigs and started making a tent.Once he was done he look at his foot and then pick up his swords and started cutting a big hole in the tree.He made it big enough and deep enough for him to sit in it.After he made the whole he went hunting.While he was moving he cut trees so he knew the way back.He got10 fish and a few frogs.He found his way back to the tent and then started making a campfire.Once the campfire was burning he started cooking the fish and frogs legs.Then after he ate he took a big pice of park and started making smoke signals.

With the exception of all the nearby people murmering, it was pretty quiet now. The dragon had disappeared for the moment, but the tension in the air was high. So Abyssa walked back inside the inn to see Rinni helping an injured man. An arrow lay on the table, stained with blue fluid. Presumably blood, but she wasn't certain.
She went in the kitchen and finished the dishes in a manner that one would guess the town hadn't just been attacked. She glanced out the window and saw clouds of smoke comming out of the forest. It wasn't forest fire smoke either. Perhaps that boy the drew the dragon away.
She sighed, setting down the wash cloth, and went outside again. Cleaning wasn't really her thing anyways.
"Helloooooo!" she called, maybe a little too loudly, considering there may still be a dragon in the area, as she walked through the forest, "Anybody out there?"

Zimmian smiled. he had placed the seeds of doubt in the persons mind, uprooted everything she ever knew. he just did in a very subtle way. "Nah. the wounds already healed. that, by the way, is NOT normal where I come from. spontanious regeneration, I mean. Y'know, the events here today remind me of that one time" Zimmian began to ramble on about some idiotic story where he had signle handedly taken out a group of roving thugs, but ended the story explaining that he was NOT a hero in this endevour, because he demanded a reward from every single town he came across for a week, only stopping when a town didn't know who the thugs were, and then he figured he had milked the cash-cow dry.
durring this time he was being thiefy. he stole the sword right from her scabard, laced it with leathal poison, and then put it back in its place. all without being seen. in the middle of a bar. while wearing the most outlandish outfit ever.
if everyone hadn't been pressed face-first against the window trying tog et a better look at the dragon before it was smoted, Zimmian might have been caught.

Peter took a good look at the dragon again, and it began fading. The villagers were no longer panicking. He realized he was hallucinating everything. His head hurt, maybe he just needed a drink, so he walked inside the inn, dizzy. But the loud bang sounded pretty real, and he smelled something burning. Anyways, he walked inside, sat in his normal seat next to no one else. He felt something on his head. He scratched his head and realized he was not wearing the helmet anymore. He looked at his clothes; the thin jacket and everything. Maybe he didn't need a drink. Maybe he needed THERAPY. Nonetheless, he awaited the waitress. He suddenly became dizzy and fell asleep. He had dreams - of love, of happiness, of pain, of a really big cake with frosting shaped like leaves that smelled like lemons. But wait - he did smell lemons. He woke up and looked around, smelling with his wolf nose. He spotted a tray of cocktails, so fruity, so colorful, so tasty. He was so distracted by it he started drooling and before he knew it there was some drool on his shirt. He looked outside the window and saw Jay and his friends running around, joking with eachother. Some sort of box near them jumping up and down playing music. Probably a gnomish prototype sort of thing. The large blanket and a basket made it self explanatory: They were enjoying themselves with a picnic, Tim and Q were there too. He felt that all this stuff was pointless so he was going arranged with his brother that they were going back home tomorrow, he was feeling homesick. Just after he got his cocktail.
BANG!

xavier was still sitting at the bar "man cant i get any serves around here?" he mumbled to himself. he was still hidden by his cloak and hat, he hollerd out "hello? anyone here to sell me a drink?" he looked up and down te bar thinking that he was getting really quiet thirsty now, which was strange for him since he never really felt thist or hunger before.

Rinni looked over at Xavier in shock. How did I fail to notice him there? she thought frantically. She nodded to Zimmian and shrugged her shoulders. "If you're okay, you're okay."
She hurried over to the bar and smiled at Xavier. "Very sorry about that, sir. What would you like today?" She slipped the sheath off and slipped it and the sword back to it's resting spot deftly, then placed her hands on top of the bar and folded her fingers together.

Abyssa heard someone yelling back, and she hurried in the voices direction. When she arrived, she saw the boy from before. But there were also more bandits. She sighed. It was just one of those days.
They hadn't seen her yet, so she ducked behind a bush, and pulled out a simple dagger. Then she threw it at the closest bandit, and it went right through his heart.
Now that they were distracted, she tossed a smoke bomb into the area. She had never been good at one-on-one combat, being an assasin. They normally try to kill people that don't know they're there.
"Let's get out of here," she spoke quickly, grabbing the boys arm, and prodding him to follow.

"I hope he's ok..." Abyssa murmered to herself as he headed upstairs. She looked around a bit. Things had settled down considerably, by now. She spotted a man at the counter admiring a sword.
"That yours?" she asked, cocking her head as she looked at the weapon. It was very finely crafted, she had to admit.

((did you mean me? this is what happens if you did))
Abyssa smirked slightly, "Just checking on you. How's your foot?...The name's Abyssa by the way. Abby for short. What's yours?"
