"What my silver-tongued friend is trying to say is that we're completely screwed in an actual battle so having some extra cannon fodder, who also happens to be a fine piece of a**, is more than welcome." Pix laughed, for some reason Gregor's weak attempts at insults always made him feel better. "Did I mention that you're a fine piece of a**?" He gave her a trademark wink, then made his way to the journal, "Ok, this might just be me, but does anyone else find it weird that there are old looking papers regarding a rather recent problem?

Gregor shook his head. He should already have known how Pix would react to such a comment and felt sorry for pulling Leszya into this. He knew Pix didn't really care what others thought of him, but he figured reminding him he basically had an adversary now might shape him up a little.
((I'm logging off, I'll be back tomorrow. Sorry for the short post, I'm tired.))

((I've gotta go, see you all tomorrow mrgreen ))
Tanner chuckled. Fine piece of a** is correct. Pix is finally right for once.
Sarte groaned a little, and Lucas gave him a rather sympathetic look. Tanner caught it and allowed Lucas to loosen the tight bonds slightly. Sarte was suffering enough, Tanner thought.
Kai nodded at Pix. "I think Ulysses may have known about and studied the fishmen long before they became a threat, that's why. He probably still adds to the book from time to time, I'm sure. He was a very old man, it's possible the book's been with him for fifty years or more. The entries are dated, he adds info as he obtains it. Maybe he has more insight into their origin, rather than the story Tanner provided that was rather bare. Now that I think about it, we could compare the dates of the first and last entries to figure this out."
Kai picked up the book and flipped to the first page, and then the last.
"He's been writing in this book for sixty-two years. Apparently a lifelong passion. I guess that answers your question."

"That makes some sense," Not that he could read the thing himself ,"Read it and report on it tomorrow, cause none of you newbies are going to be sleeping. Welcome to Hell Week, your training has just begun."
And now I have to go make sure someone else doesn't get any sleep.
He entered Andrea room and hastily took off his clothing while she lay silently sleeping. He grasped her throat hard and mounted her, whispering hoarsely in her ear, "You're not getting any rest tonight, you hear me?"

Leszya laughed. A short, surprising burst of genuine laughter.
" A fine piece off a**, you say? Why, I'm honoured. Not that I didn't already know that, naturally." she smiled slowly, straightening her legs and arching her back to stretch from her previous position. " And I do appreciate the invitation, Gregor, if it's agreed upon by the rest of the group. If no one has a problem with it.... I suppose I really don't have much else to do." she stood up, walking towards the book. On the way, her smile softened a little at Lucas as he loosened the bonds, and she winked at him subtly. She had always had a soft spot for the shy sweet ones, reminded her of her little sister. Not that that would be mentioned. It wasn't flattering to men to be reminiscent of females, and they didn't need to know her past under any circumstances.
"Sixty-two years, you say?" she paused thoughtfully. "I wonder if there could be any mention of one he may have collaborated with regarding information. Someone more..." she glanced at Sarte, conscious she may have to put this tactfully. " More living."

Andrea was peacefully sleeping when suddenly she couldn't breath, and a heavy weight was on top of her. Her eyes were wide and wild with fear, her slender fingers grasping at his arm before she tried to nod, her hands tugging desprately at his arm to tell him that she needed air. Andrea wasn't liking this at all; it was much too similar to what had happened to her before, and her brilliant green eyes clearly showed her blank fear at the situation.

He loosened his arm a little, but only a little. Still holding her firm he began to use his other hand to rip off her clothing, finishing that rather quickly. Ignoring any foreplay he took her, keeping her going for hours before he was finally satisfied, at which point he rolled off her, promptly falling asleep, but not before whispering in her ear, "What would I do without you?"

The whole ordeal felt like an eternity.
When he finally released her she took a big gasp of air, the first normal breath she had taken for so many long hours. Her eyes shut tightly as she sucked in the proper amount of air that she needed, his whispered words repeating themselves over in her mind. Andrea's hands shakily moved to her face as she took a deep breath to control the many different emotions running through her. She thought about leaving to a different room, but now her body was exaughsted and sore. Andrea stifly moved to grab at her shirt, pulling it on to at least cover some of her exposed body before she turned and curled up alongside Pix, shutting her eyes and instantly falling back asleep.

Sarte shook his head "I had nothing to do with his studies. This is the first time I visited grandfather in five years..."
Tanner looked to Leszya. "Yeah, I figured as much. But this book is good enough. If we read this we'll get all the info we need to know."
Kai paced the floor. "Well, if we've obtained what we needed, then I'm going to get some sleep." He walked off to the bedrooms. He was very tired, he hadn't slept in two days.

"Mmm... that's a good idea, actually." Leszya looked around. She really didn't want to go find a bedroom. At least around here she knew some people were decently trustworthy, there were a few that might still like to have a go at her when she was unconscious.
"I'm going to go lie down somewhere for a while, wake me if you like, but don't get too close. Unfortunately, I'm prone to seriously injure people who startle me out of sleep."
Though she felt it was risky, it was time to sleep somehwere a little softer. She picked up her pack, moving to the entrance hall. Slipping off her jacket, she rolled it into a ball and placed it on top of the pack, adjusting her shirt so it wouldn't shift and reveal anything unneccesary. Leszya lay down on her side and realised how exhausted she was as her head hit the 'pillow'. Within seconds, she was asleep.

"Yeah, a good night's sleep sounds perfect." Gregor said, "And here's as good a place as any." He shift his crossbow so that he was already holding it in case of an emergency. He leaned back and already his mind was started to fall into a cloud of memories. "You should all probably rest too." he mumbled.
((And speaking of sleep I have to be up early tomorrow, so good night to all of you.))

Ryken nodded his agreement. "Sounds good to me." He decided that he didn't want to spend another night on a bed, so he didn't move. He had never put his coat back on, so he simply pulled it out of his pack and draped it over himself. He shifted in the chair slightly and realized he would never get comfortable with his swords at his sides, so he removed them from his belt and laid them across his lap in an X shape. Sleep didn't come immediately, but he was asleep within five minutes.
