Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kaori's face fell slightly, barely noticible unless someone was looking for the change, when she saw Abels armor return. In some way's she could see how he might keep a mask up, she did it herself most of the time, but it pained her slightly to realize that he did not quite trust her enough yet to reveal himself for long. She nodded though, he was right. "I'll show ou where the guest rooms are, do you think you could help me carry her to one of them?" she asked as she pushed herself off of the couch. She was still a little weak on her fee from the drain she had forced on herself, but she could manage.

"I would say that most are religious, as for the rest, well... they are starting to see the truth." In Warren's opinion, the attacks on the livestock and humans was truly a blessing in disguise. While it was unfortunate that humans had to die, in the end it only served to attract a large amount of non-members into the faith. Each time a sermon was given in the church, he saw more and more members there to partake in the religion's lessons.

As Darius bowed his head, Warren smiled and said, "No trouble at all, to help ones fellow man is one of the main lessons of the church. In regards to what I do here, let us just say I enforce the churches teachings, and if you do have any info for me, feel free to leave it at the inn I mentioned, or at the hunter's chapel in the church."

Warren's suspicions that this man was a liar were confirmed. The man did not correct Warren when he told him the location of an inn as opposed to where to get a new pair of traveling boots as he previously inquired. While he still kept in mind the possibility that the man could have merely forgot, Warren knew that it would be worth watching a man who would lie to the face of a fully armed hunter. Continuing to stare straight into the eyes of the man, he asked, "Excuse me, so that I may know who the information is from, may I ask for your name, friend?"

Kaori had moved to help him, but by the time she got to his side he was already at his full height. She was about to ask if he wanted help, but then shut her mouth. From what she had seen of him so far, he would refuse anyway. Instead se turned down a hall and gestured with her head. "The rooms are this way. She will probably be comfortable in my old room, there's a fireplace in there as well, she seemed to like the sounds of the wood popping. I can light that one, you can stay in my parents old room if you'd like. It's really comfortale, but I never use it." As she talked, Kaori led Abel to her childhood room. Opening the door, she went and grabbed some sheets and blankets from a chest. She also moved to close the shutters and curtains, not certain on how sensitive she was to the light.

Kaori finished making the bed and put a case over the pillow. Closing the trunk, she turned back to Abel, a small smile on her face. "If you want to lay her down, I'll start up a fire and then show you where my parents room is." Turning back to the fireplace, she grabbed a few logs that had been in here. The witch kept them in every room with a fireplace, just in case. Laying the logs out, she mummered few words and a small fire sprang to life. It quickly started to eat at the logs, and was soon crackling as mearily as the fire in the main room.

Kaori stood up and smiled lightly at him. Walking out of the room, she started down the hallway. About halfway to her parents old room, she paused, leaning against the wall slightly. She was still recovering her energy from calling the shadows, and starting that fire hadn't helped, even though it had used little of her power. After a moment, she pushed off from the wall and walked into her parents room. "There's a fireplace in here as well, if you like, I could start one for you." She opened the chest that was in this room too, lifting out a pile of sheets and blankets, sheking off the momentary dizziness that had descended on her.

Darius smiled as he raised his head and sucked on the toothpick.
“Most religious eh? Well then, best remember that as not to offened anyone. Darius looked up and scratched the eye behind the blue bandana and then scratech his chin.
“As for my name, well my name isn’t all that important. Let’s just leave our meeting with the fact that you and I will most likely seeing more of each other, especially since our goals and professions are similar in nature and purpose.” Darius shifted the weight of his traveling pack and gave Warren a knowing wink as he bit down on the toothpick as he turned to the church and began to stride towards the entrance of the building. He had caught the words hunters’ chapel and he could do with a few additional weapons before he set about scouring this town from top to bottom.

Kaori smiled and nodded her thanks as she took the sheet that was on top of the pile. "Thank you, Abel," She said as she laid it out and tucked the edges in. "I'm still just a bit run down." She finished making the bed, turning to him when she as done. "Make yourself comfortable, I'll just start the fire." Turning towards the fireplace, she started to pile the logs on the small grate that was set in it.

Warren continued to stare ahead as Darius moved behind him, but as Darius was passing, Warren quietly said, "It's difficult enough trying to hunt the damned without having my own brethren lie to me for their own self amusement, try to remember that won't you." With the comment on similar professions, Warren had decided that either the man was a hunter for the church, or for other purposes. Regardless, it sounded as if he was an ally against the enemies of god, however, Warren did not like being lied to, be it by human or non. He knew that there were many in the world who could not be trusted, and when his own allies lied to him, it only made his job harder than it already was.

Looking back to Kolette, Warren gave a slight bow before saying, "Forgive me m'lady, I did not mean to waste your time, merely helping a fellow man in need." Warren did not want to tell Kolette that the man was a hunter, after all, he did not know her well enough to tell how she would react. This could be a problem, especially when Warren wasn't entirely sure if Darius actually was a hunter.

"Once again I must inquire, where do you wish to speak with me that we may not be under the inquisitive eyes and ears of those not intended to know of such matters?" As he had previously mentioned, Warren still believed that the best places would either be outside of town, in the hunter's inn, or in the vampire Thalen's previous estate.
