Linda
Linda smiled and shook her head at his apology. She knew how he was, and she wouldn't fault him for it.
"It's fine Riku. I know that now isn't the right time. Maybe when I'm stronger, and we know more about the others' capability to fight. Plus, I'm sure they're worrying about us by now." Taking his hand, she smiled up at him, knowing that he would become a little more inaccessible once they were back with the others. She didn't mind though. She enjoyed being the only one to see his soft side. She wouldn't point that out to him though, knowing it would make him feel just a little self-consciuos. "I'll give you as much time as you need. I've waited this long, haven't I? And we've both dealt with so much..." Her voice saddened as she remembered her brother, for a brief instant, and then she was fine again. She didn't want to remember Joshua, not now. "I think that we are each stronger for it, but now we both need each other in ways we didn't know before. I only hope that I can get better soon. I hate feeling this useless..." she added with a mutter. Taking a step towards the camp, she looked at Riku, a small smile on her face. "Let's go. I'm sure you want me to rest as much as I want to lay down."

Riku Itsuki Amakura  All night staring at the ceiling
Counting the minutes I've been feeling this way
So far away and so alone (()) He nodded slightly, appreciating the fact she understood how he wasn’t an emotional kind of guy. However, he wasn’t sure anytime would be the “right time” during this journey. But, the assassin didn’t feel like bursting Linda’s bubble on that one. Thus, Riku kept his mouth shut as she took his hand and smiled up at him. His lips tugged into a small smile, reflecting the small amount of warmth that still was able to reach him in his “assassin” state of mind. “I’m not sure they are worrying currently. But, they might if we stay here much longer.” Worry warts. He knew the worry was justified, considering all they had experienced in such a short period of time. Then again, Riku couldn’t help but be surprised by the bonds they had formed so quickly. At least I and Linda have the excuse that we knew each other way before this journey. Admittedly, they had known each other for years before the incident with Dominick that had sent them both on a hating rampage.
However, his mind did not allow itself to linger on his partner as she continued to talk to him. He could hear the sadness in her voice which made his smile vanish. Admittedly, Riku knew the stuff she had been through was partially his fault. At least, some of it was his fault. The loss of her brother had been on his head, not hers. However, the assassin knew Dominick would not want him lingering on the memory. Knowing him, he would want Riku to keep on going and would put no blame on him for his death. After all, Dominick had known what he was getting into when he decided to help Riku that day so long ago. I just wish it hadn’t ended the way it did.
Then, Linda mentioned something that caused him to stop reminiscing about the past. His red pools blinked as he looked up at the sky briefly. “I guess we do. But, we also must learn that we should not depend solely on each other. After all, my profession calls for me not to do so….But also, I could not take anyone as a partner again. Not after…” He stopped himself, his eyelids tightly shut as he knew bringing up bad memories would do nothing for either of them.
Luckily, the assassin heard the rest of Linda’s statement, soon allowing his red eyes to expose themselves once more. “I hate feeling useless as well. But, these things take time unfortunately. The only thing you can do is take good care of yourself and make sure to not get yourself hurt while healing. That will only slow down the process and makes it more annoying.” Unfortunately, Riku knew that scenario all too well. Having a high pain tolerance can be a bad thing at times, especially when you make your wrist almost unusable due to not knowing it was sprained. Then, before his thoughts could go to the past again, Linda took a step towards camp and talked again. His mouth let out a small chuckle as he kept a gentle grip on her hand. “Yes. You resting is a good thing. That is for sure.”
Thus, he started to lead them back towards camp. He didn’t know how much time had passed, but he could see Selene and Mina hadn’t made it back yet. The other two seemed to be doing their own thing which only made Riku shrug. Guess nothing happened while we were gone. The assassin led Linda near the fire and sat down, tugging her gently to the ground with him. “The fire should keep you warm. Also, the warmness should help you to fall asleep quicker.” His legs crossed as he placed his hands near the fire, enjoying the rare moment of peace given to him. I got a bad feeling we will not get these moments often. So, I better enjoy it while it lasts. There's no way I'm giving up this time
Yeah, you know I'm right here
I'm not losing you this time.

Linda
Linda lay down, her head resting in Riku's lap as she did so. Sighing softly to herself, a small smile gracing her lips, she closed her eyes and let the warmth of the fire soak into her. Cuddling a little bit closer to him, she curled up tightly and started to slowly fell asleep, her breathing slowing and steadying.

Selene
Selene smiled at Mina and started to lead the way back into the camp. Holding her sister's hand to make sure that she didn't fall, and so that she could give her some power at the very least, Selene felt at peace for a little bit. She knew that she hadn't had to fight as the others had, so she made a vow to herself to be more aggressive as far as keeping her sister and friends safe.

Riku Itsuki Amakura All night staring at the ceiling
Counting the minutes I've been feeling this way
So far away and so alone (()) Riku watched as Linda lied her head down on his lap. If this had been under different circumstances, he knew he would have told her to move off his lap. Considering we are in the presence of others. However, the assassin felt it was more important that she rest than save his cold-hearted image. Thus, he placed his hand lightly on her head with his expression never changing. But, if one looked close, the red pools seemed warmer. Soon, he felt Linda cuddle closer to him. His eyes looked down at her as her breathing started to become slowly and steady. Good. It is best she gets plenty of rest.
Then, he turned his head to see Selene and Mina coming towards them. He gave them a brief nod before turning his head to face the fire once more. "Who is taking first watch?" His eyes looked at the others out of the corner of his eyes, not wanting to turn his head away from the soothing flames. There's no way I'm giving up this time
Yeah, you know I'm right here
I'm not losing you this time.

  MinaMina followed behind Selene as they headed back to their camp. She smiled to herself slightly as she saw Riku and Linda together by the camp fire. Mina was glad to see that things seemed to be not only working out between them but that Linda was resting which was good. At Riku's nod of acknowledgement she smiled slightly to him before she sat down on a grass covered spot against a tree. At Riku's question she looked to Selene remembering her saying she would take the first watch but spoke up slightly. "I'll take the first watch, everyone should get he rest needed to gather their energy back after the battle at the village. After that anyone else can take the watch and then I'll rest." She was sure Selene and all the others would tell her that if anyone needed the rest it would be her but even though she knew she did need the rest she wouldn't be able to. She had learned while living under King Darian's roof to always stay perceptive to what was around her. She knew that most of the people in their group would think she could fight or protect the others, that she was only a healer but she had learned long ago how to fight and defend herself and those she cared about. She knew that Meiun was aware of her skills, for he had seen some of what she had gone through, and knew what she had had to do to stay alive. Mina looked to the fire, not feeling its heat since she wasn't very close to it and sent a very soft message to Riku mentally. 'I can promise you Riku that if anything were to happen while I was on watch I would be able to fight and protect everyone here.' With those words Mina slowly stood and moved a little farther from the group, hoping that none would try and talk her out of taking first watch.

Selene
Selene shook her head and sighed, moving to intercept Mina, but Meiun got there first.
"Mina, my love, you cannot take the first watch. You are much too tired. I will help you sleep," he said. Selene smiled at him and helped him to lower Mina to the ground, then turning to observe Riku and Linda before speaking herself.
"I will take the first watch. Whomever is to take the second, I will wake when my watch is finished." She looked at the others and then let out a little hum of contentment when she felt Miron's arms around her.
"I will take the second watch my love," he said, the knot of his emotions in the back of her head telling her that he would sit her watch with her as well. She smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek before turning back to the others.
"I think that the two of us for the night should be sufficient," she said with a smile.

Riku Itsuki Amakura All night staring at the ceiling
Counting the minutes I've been feeling this way
So far away and so alone (()) Riku felt his legs start to go slightly numb. However, he couldn’t move them due to Linda’s head on his lap. Also, the assassin didn’t want to disturb the sleeping fairy. Thus, his toes wiggled inside his shoes as his eyes looked back over at the two fairy princesses. He noticed Mina had sat against a tree, seeming to have noticed his nod if the smile on her face was any indication. But, Riku did not smile back as his hand ran through Linda’s hair without him realizing it. Are they going to answer my question? He did not like being left hanging, especially on an important issue like this. They don’t answer soon, and I’ll assume I’m taking it. And no matter what they do, they will not be able to sway me.
Luckily, Mina answered his question. While he didn’t exactly agree with her doing any watch tonight, he sighed and allowed himself to stretch. After stretching his arms, his hands took off the scarf wrapped around his neck carefully. Then, the assassin took off his cloak, leaving him in a black tank top with snug black pants, and black knee high boots with a silver highlight at the top. The exposed blades reflected the fire as he raised his hands to examine them. His red pools made sure they didn’t need to be sharpened, or didn’t need to be replaced. As he did his examination, a voice entered his head. By now, Riku knew Mina seemed to be the only one to do that. Thus, the assassin didn’t look over at her. The only sign he had heard her was a subtle nod. I still doubt that until I see her fight. But, whatever.
Once he felt satisfied with the condition of his blades, he took a cloth from his bag and started to wipe the blood off them. As he did this, Riku caught Meiun at the corner of his eyes. He looked to see the dream-walker going over to Mina. The assassin observed as Meiun seemed set on Mina not taking watch. By the fact Selene helped Meiun lay Mina on the ground moments later; he could tell she shared his sentiment. I’m not sure treating her like a baby will help things. Then again, maybe she likes that. He looked back at the flames, using their light to clean every spot of blood as he felt eyes on him. The red pools looked towards Selene out of the corner of his eyes. The briefest acknowledgement that he knew she was looking at him before looking back at his blades.
His hands caressed the blades, almost in a loving manner, as Selene started to speak. Her statement only caused a small shrug to leave the assassin. At this point, Riku had stopped caring about who was taking which watch. He just wanted them to decide so he could know whether or not he would be able to sleep. But, Riku couldn’t help but think Selene taking first watch would be worse than Mina taking first watch. While the other was tired, at least she knew how to heal. The princess that now spoke reminded him more of a damsel in distress than a warrior. Thus, unless she proved herself, he felt less trusting of her than he did of Mina. Which, admittedly, he didn’t put too much faith in her abilities either.
Since he hadn’t looked over, the assassin didn’t notice Miron wrapping his arms around Selene. However, Riku did hear the man’s voice as he called second watch. That was something Riku had no issue with, considering he knew he could fight. At least, if I take Meiun’s word anyway, plus the fact he is a dragon-fox. Also, by what the dream-walker said, he might have bonded with Selene. I don’t’ know too much about the bonding. But, I do know that anyone will protect a mate they love with their life. That is why love is considered a weakness. As he looked down at Linda, Riku found it strange he didn’t regret giving into one of the cardinal sins of the brotherhood. However, that did not mean the assassin didn’t feel iffy about it, still wondering if allowing himself to love was in anyone’s best interest.
But, as Selene kissed Miron’s cheek, and seemed to announce that the two of them should be sufficient, he focused back on the conversation at hand. “Are you so sure?” The flames danced across his face and eyes, giving him a strange reddish glow. “Tell me. Why should I trust you to be able to fight and defend us in our sleep? I have not seen you fight, and the only evidence of such was when you pulled a sword on me.” A small lazy smirk appeared at remembering their first encounter. What had felt like years ago had only really been a couple of days. But, the passing of time was not the important issue. Thus, Riku did not linger on that fact for long. “While I don’t trust Mina’s capabilities either, I would trust her taking first watch more than yourself. But…I’m assuming your lover over there will be staying up through both watches…which is something he shouldn’t have to do?” The assassin glanced over at them as his hands gently moved Linda’s head off his lap.
“It is a shame really that you are so fragile.” The iciness flowed out of his voice as he stood up, facing the fairy princess and her lover. “No wonder you are considered our weak point. You have been targeted since this journey began, and yet others have had to save you time and time again.” His smirk formed into a frown, briefly looking down at Linda. “At least she can defend herself and doesn’t need to be saved anytime someone comes a knocking. But neither you nor your sister has proved you two can do the same.” He extended out his blades from the wrist contraption, adrenaline allowing the weariness of his body to leave him. “So, I say a bet is in order. You beat me, you get first watch. I beat you…I get first watch. Also, to make this clear, no matter who wins, Miron still gets to keep second watch. Agreed?”
His red pools focused briefly on Miron before looking over to Mina. “And don’t worry. I will go easy on your sister, Mina. After all, if I didn’t restrain myself…Well…not sure if her current status among the living would last.” The coldness that flowed through his heart felt familiar and lovely. This was something he could understand, something that did not make him feel vulnerable and weak. He needed this rush more than anything in the world. Well, other than knowing Linda was safe and sound. But, Riku had been able to rely on this almost instinctual reaction for much longer than he knew Linda. Thus, as he moved the blades against each other, his eyes glowed with glee and a sense of something dangerous that lied within his veins.

MinaMina sighed as she looked to Meiun and then to Selene, she loved them both but the fact that they both thought she couldn't handle taking a watch did upset her some. She allowed them to lay her down but she didn't remain there for long, she sat up and looked about them to those in the group. She looked up to Meiun for a second and shook her head slightly. "Thank you for the offer Meiun, but I am fine. If I sleep I will do so on my own."After a few seconds Mina looked over to Riku as he worked with his blades, cleaning them and making sure they were still sharp. She could tell that he didn't trust what she had said and she knew that the only ways to prove herself to him would be to show him some of her past or to actually get into a fight. And seeing as she didn't want to do the first and was in no real shape for the second she would give him time and prove herself when the time mattered. She looked up to Selene when she said she would take first watch, Mina was about to argue over that when Miron said he would take second and that he would remain with Selene as she did her watch. She still wasn't happy but seeing as she couldn't always protect Selene she didn't argue.
As soon as Riku started to speak Mina slowly stood and watched all that was happening and being said. She didn't get offended when he made a comment about not trusting her, but would trust her over Selene, but when he started to insult Selene she took a breath and stepped forward slightly as she looked to Riku. And as she spoke her voice was calm and even, not showing her anger at all. "Riku, it is not that Selene is fragile or weak that she is protected so much. I do so because that was what I was supposed to do, I am to protect her at all costs. Miron does so because that have created a bond and care about each other and Meiun do so because he cares for me. And though you say you do not trust me either know this, I may look and act like a princess but I am not one. I have been charged with protecting Selene and have not only protected herself but myself as well. Her father is not the kindest man in the kingdom and because of that I have learned not only how to fight but also how to hide, be silent when moving about and to take punishments in complete silence." Mina took a breath as she continued to look to Riku, feeling Meiun close by her as she spoke. "So Riku, do not assume that you know anything about me, for whatever you might think of me will be wrong. No matter what the Oracle said about me none here will know anything about me other then Meiun since he has seen all that I have been through. And though I do not agree with Selene taking watch, it is not because I don't trust her it is because it goes against everything I have come to know in life, I will allow her to do so because I know she wants to prove herself to us all." Mina took a deep breath before she turned to Selene and nodded her head, showing her that she trusted her and knew she could prove herself. She then turned to Riku once more when he said that he would battle Selene to see if he would allow her to have first watch or not. "I will allow this battle, but know this Riku, she is stronger then you will ever know. She will prove herself in this battle and once done you will stop looking down on her just because of her status." She stepped away from the flames and as she passed Selene she lightly squeezed her hand giving her a small boost of energy. She would do the same for Riku but she could feel that he didn't need it, so she walked past Selene and stood next to the tree she had been leaning against before Meiun and Selene had made her lay down. ((Bitter, you are going to have to have Selene react to what Mina said since the Oracle never said that Selene and Mina weren't related lol. Wanted to throw a little loop in there lol.))

Selene
Selene could feel Mina's irritation, but she didn't let Mina know. Watching everything that was going on, Selene felt a slight shock at Riku's revelation that he thought she was weak. What was more shocking though was Mina's revelation. She felt a wave of shock from Miron as well. He had thought that Mina was her sister as well. If Mina wasn't her sister, than who was she? And why had her parents kept this from her? Selene felt no less love or respect for Mina, in fact, she felt more love. But, things seemed to take a more dangerous turn after Riku's last comment. Selene sighed, but nodded and smiled a little at Mina, then looked at Miron. She felt his concern for her as she slipped out of his embrace, and stepped forward. As she drew closer towards Riku, she seemed to look sharper, much less soft than she had appeared back in Miron's arms. Deftly plucking a knife from her bodice, she cut her skirt in half, tossing the extra fabric away.
"I won't promise to go easy on you," she said to Riku, her soft voice sounding dangerous. Picking up her sword, she unsheathed it with a cold rasp of metal upon metal. Her indigo eyes held a cold and dangerous calculating. Taking a step forward, the Princess leaped into action. It was almost as if she was there, but then behind Riku, her blade flashing in the firelight, his only warning.
((I hope her reaction is sufficient for the moment... >.<' I think I'll wake Linda when there is a little more commotion, towards the middle of the fight I think.))

Riku Itsuki Amakura All night staring at the ceiling
Counting the minutes I've been feeling this way
So far away and so alone ((Ok.)) Riku had been looking towards Selene. However, when he saw movement out of the corner of his eyes, the assassin turned to see Mina coming towards him. His hand ran through his hair as she listed off the reasons why she was protected. The one with Miron and Meiun made sense. After all, the former would want to protect Selene out of love, and the other would protect Selene because of how much Mina cared for her. But, there was something off about Mina’s reason. Post to protect her at all costs? Sounds more like a bodyguard than a sister. For a brief moment, he entertained the idea that the two weren’t actually related. However, that sounded a bit off even for him. Though, Mina’s next few statements made him find his previous thinking to be...ironic.
At first, he thought she was trying to defend herself. That she wasn’t a princess in personality or lack of fighting skill. However, it seemed the idea of her being a bodyguard had been correct. She had been charged by the King of the Fairies to take care of Selene. But, like the rumors echoed, the King was no saint. If anything, he was almost as evil as King Darien in his own way. While King Darien went for the brutal kind of evil, the other king went for the subtle kind of the evil. The sin that preferred the shadows instead of trying to cover the daylight. While both were effective, the latter had a more deadly tone to it. After all, that is the sin my profession helps to fulfill. The secret desires for the death of another and the longings for things they should not have….That is why…we exist…
However, while Mina assumed his lack of faith in her fighting skills had to do with her “position, it did not lie there. He was a man that followed the “seeing is believing” rule on things. Until he saw either of the two fight, Riku could not trust them. As his red pool briefly gazed at Meiun and Miron, Riku could only rely on past experiences with their kind. But even then, the assassin couldn’t recall seeing them fight. Thus, while he knew it was an inner hypocrisy, he felt he could trust their skills, somewhat, without having to see them. However, Riku knew that trust only went as far as them being able to protect themselves. If push came to shove, the only person he would remotely trust with his life was Linda. Even then…Riku would not allow his fate to be thrown into the hands of someone else.
The assassin could see Meiun come closer to Mina. He wondered if it was post to be a silent support of what she was saying, or a way to be close to her in her time of “need”. The puzzlement didn’t last long as her words caused his mouth to form into a frown. His eyes glared at her as she seemed to turn all high and mighty on him. She says she isn’t a princess, but she sure damn knows how to act like one. His arms wrapped around the lower part of his torso. The whole part about only Meiun knowing everything almost made him roll his eyes. Of course the lover knows everything! Blah! Romanticism of that sort makes me sick! However, Riku did not show his displeasure as she explained why she did not agree with Selene taking watch.
While he found himself still annoyed at her haughty attitude, her reason still had some…valid point that the assassin could not completely ignore. But, the moment Mina stopped her mouth, his own moved to say some things of his own. “For someone that says they aren’t a princess, you sure damn know how to act like one.” That was his only comment towards her admission on not being a princess. If she tried to get more out of him, Riku would probably ignore her, or choose to indulge her a little. After all, while he felt bonded to the members of the group, that did not mean he trusted every single word that left their lips. However, his mind did recall what the Oracle had said to Mina. Thus, it made what she told seemed more like a truth than a lie. I still can’t help but think she might just be saying this. Though, don’t get why she would say such a thing and not mean it. When this fight is over, I’ll ask for proof. For now, time to focus on Selene.
But, before the assassin could, Mina’s voice reached his ears once more. His fingers rubbed his temple as his red eyes hardened in annoyance. “You believe that I am such a fool as to allow her status to be the complete basis of my judgments? I might as well be walking blind if that was the case.”Then, his eyes followed Mina’s movements, having a good idea as to what the brief hand hold between her and Selene had been about just now. “My assumptions are based on observation. I have seen neither of you two fight. Thus, based on the idea that I must rely on my memory and senses only, my instincts can only go with a couple of beliefs.” His fingers moved to make emphasis on the counting aspect of his point. “One, that you two don’t know how to fight. Two, that you two are too much of pacifists to fight. Or lastly, that you two are too weak to fight.” His hands moved about after speaking, popping each knuckle gently before sighing softly. “Which, since either of the three could be valid, I just feel the first is easier to go with. Don’t you think so?” A small smirk tugged against his lips before rested his hands at his sides.
Since his focus now went towards Selene, he did not pay attention to where Mina stood. For now, his red pools focused on the fairy princess’s every move. The princess smiled at Miron and Mina before slipping out of Miron’s embrace. While the aura around her seemed to change, Riku didn’t much care for it. It almost reminded him of a kitty trying to act tough. Thus, this only assumed him more as she pulled out a knife and cut her skirt in half. I will give her credit for knowing when to toss extra clothing aside. But so far, that is all she gets. As her voice now reached his ears, the smirk only grew bigger. The tone made him think of someone trying to scare him. However, fear was a hard emotion to find in the coldness surrounding the assassin’s heart.
His red pools observed now as she pulled out her sword. Never blinking or wavering from her form, the assassin took note of her eyes. Riku couldn’t tell if the look was fake or not. But for some reason, he almost went with her actually having a calculating side. After all, things would be much more amusing if she did. Then, the princess took a step forward and made her first move. As she disappeared from in front of him, the gleam in his eyes showed his excitement. Now this is what I’m talking about! Unfortunately for Selene though, Riku had played this game too many times to be tricked so easily. He knew by the fact there was no one to his sides that she was behind him. Thus, as she swung her sword, his body moved quickly into action.
The hidden blade clanged against her sword, the other ready for her to try something with her knife. “While I commend you on the sneak attack, I must warn you for future reference. It is hard to sneak up on an assassin. At least, any well-trained assassin.” He jumped back, his body strangely relaxed as he swayed slightly from side to side. If Linda had been awake, she might have recognized what he was waiting for. But since she wasn’t, Riku could only watch Selene and wait for her next move. If she does what I believe she will do, than this next move shall prove…wonders…for me gaining the upper hand. There's no way I'm giving up this time
Yeah, you know I'm right here
I'm not losing you this time.

Selene
Instinctively knowing that Riku was waiting for something, Selene's eyes narrowed as she stayed back, her sword in position before she flowed into the Faerie's Last Stance movement. Striking fast, her sword went towards Riku's neck while she threw her knife at his side, aiming for his kidney. Another knife appeared in her hands just as quickly, and she kept forward, her sword still not having met it's mark. Twisting to the side, realizing that she wouldn't hit, she moved out of the way of an inevitable attack, shielding her body on all sides by seeming to become smaller, her sword and knife moving to defend the softest parts of her body. She grew still, waiting for Riku to attack. Her long silver hair seemed to float around her as her motion ceased, and it gave her an ethereal quality.

MinaMina stood her ground as she watched the fight in progress, she was trying to remain near the tree knowing that Selene had to prove to them all that she could defend herself and protect the others as well. And although Mina wished to flay Riku for his comments she remained silent knowing that to speak would just distract them both. She slightly shook her head as one of his comments played through her mind again. She knew how to act like a princess because she had been threatened and beaten too many times to count for not acting the part. As she stood next to the tree she glanced over to Meiun who had moved closer to her when she had spoken to Riku. She gave him a small smile before looking back towards the pair that were fighting. She didn't think Selene would truly win the fight but she knew that after this Riku would know that Selene could defend herself and the group. (())

Sheridan  Sheridan sighed as she looked to her father and Sienna, and even though her father was injured she slightly smiled, happy to have seen her father happy with Sienna. As she looked to them on the bed Sheridan saw Sienna glance at her and with the look she could tell that Sienna wanted to be alone with her father. She stood up and faced all those that were in the room and spoke in an even but commanding tone. "Leave, now, Sienna wishes to be alone with my father." As she waited for all the servants and guards to leave the room she spoke to a single guard telling him that he should have a few men posted at her father's bedroom door in case Sienna needed anything while she was with her father. Once everyone had left the room she turned to the bed and leaned down to place a soft kiss to her father's forehead. "Get better father, for Sienna and myself...please." She then looked to Sienna and gave her a small smile before placing a soft kiss to her forehead as well. "You both should rest, I am sure you will both be needing your strength." With that Sheridan turned from the bed and left the room as she headed once more to her own room. (())
