-he smiled-
"Just think if they didn't treat you like they did you wouldn't be quite emotionally strong as you are now."
-he pointed out the new hole in his already tattered shirt-
"Naw, the creek should be fine then. I can make a small shelter from the trees and pretty much stay there till dusk."
-he thought for a moment.-
"Are you familiar with holy water?"

"The creek it is then." She leaned over to get a better look at what the fellow was pointing at. "Just a hole? or did something actually nick you back at the stables?" There was a curious look on the ranger's face as leaned over a little more to try and tell the answer for herself. "Can't say I know anything about any holy water myself. Sounds like some sort of religious mage thing."
"As for the townfolk's superstitions, what would I have been without the path that I have traveled? Who's to say that I wouldn't have been 'emotionally strong' as you call it on any other option that life might have driven me into?" she asked, suddenly feeling uncommonly philosophical.

"I don't believe so..."
-The looked at the bottle in his hand.-
"Religious or not it works and I want you to learn how to make it."
-Then he showed her the glass bottle that was half full.-
"Depending on how strong the demon or vampire will matter how effective it is."
-His eyes narrowed-
"Now that I think about it, I tried to drink one of these, but couldn't."
"Well any way, I want you to use it. Just in case."
-He then fell silent almost like he wasn't there.-

Jay took the glass container from his hand and swirled around the rather... non exciting contents within.
"It looks like just water to me," she said, tempted to take a sip of the liquid herself to she if there was any difference there as well.
"Okay, so how do you make this... wait. Did you want me to use this on you?" The ranger face spun to look directly at Micheal when his directions caught up with her.

-Micheal waited for her to finish as a half smile came across his pale face again.-
"Strangely enough, if you feel you have too, please do so."
-He gestured to the moon throught the trees.-
"Key things to making it depends on what you believe in, but no matter how you do it it will always come out the same. Water that protects you from which that threatens you." -His smile slowly faded- "I used the natural elements, the moon, sea salt but regular salt works just as well, then finally water."
"The other ways involve ceremonies and prayer, but honestly that wasn't what I felt comfortable with at the time." -he then ruffled his hair- "But the true element in holy water is the person intention to protect."
-He slightly wonder if this would help settle her uncertainty of his presence a little-

So he was just asking her to hold on to it for an emergency and not use it now. For a second there she thought maybe was moonstruck and a might be going a touch delusional.
"So, let me get this straight. So what's in here is basically salt water powered by belief?" The water sloshed around the bottle as the ranger shook it up upon hearing what was officially inside.

-He nodded- "Well if you think about it that way, yes."
-he pulled out a bottle that was covered with Topaz gems here and there.-
"I have some in here as well, it does come in handy... but.." -he lightly open it- "watch."
-and poured some in his hand.-
".."
-he bit his lip as on contact with his skin it made a sizzling sound breaking his skin away like acid, then it dried in seconds and his hand completely healed.-
"...what.."
-he was slightly taken back at how quickly his hand healed and he slowly closed the bottle and put it away, still looking at his hand.-

The ranger cocked an eyebrow.
"I take it that's not what you expected to happen?" It came out as more of a statement than a question as she started to doubt the reliance of the bottle of 'water' she held in her hand. "If that wasn't meant to be the end result, what ~was~ suppose to happen?"

"Last time I did that it took me at least one or two days to heal." -he growled as he had an idea why.- "it's funny when you think you know how strong you are and then all of a sudden things change were it seems like you barely understand your true strength."
-Micheal started to look around to see if he recognized anything.-
"He's watching.."

"So what's changed?"
Was he stronger? Weaker? The ranger was unsure what the results meant for a vampire.
Her attention perked back up when Micheal mentioned they were being watched and she too began to look around though with more apprehension than the fellow beside her. "Who is?"

-He stood there and then looked at Jayara.-
"He wants to meet you at the creek."
-Micheal was just as perplex about why his hand heal so quickly, as to why now this fellow decided to show.-
"...this was sooner than expected."

"But who is this that you are speaking of or is it an unknown voice that is speaking to you?" By the way Micheal seemed relatively calm about this voice vs his hand sizzling, she figured it was someone he at least recognized and that it wasn't a potential threat. She could never be sure nowadays though.
"And just meet me or all of us at the creek?" she tagged on.

"He said he will meet us at the creek but wants to talk to you."
-Micheal pause then looked at her-
"It's Dark."

The ranger stiffened a little at the mention of the unusual dragon which she immediately regretted despite it being uncontrollable, knowing that Micheal probably caught it. She closed her eyes and looked inward for a moment before letting out a small concentrated exhale.
"Any idea what he wants to speak to me about?" Her voice was now rather controlled, a far cry from the casual tone it had held earlier.

-he shook his head.- "He was blunt and dry. I think he is still upset with me." -he looked at her- "You don't want to meet him? You seemed intrested about him in the paintings."
-he bit his lip as he sensed something toying with him.-
