And well I guess a little bit before... I've been seeing these ghost wolves. They're... A lot friendlier here than the ones on the mainland are... You may have even met one-...If they showed themselves while giving you the message from me anyways...\"Juna thought on it some more then looked at Grey, taking note of his concerned expression.\"Never better.\"She said, answering his question with a smile before it faded to a confused look.\"Why?\"She then asks." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Spirits? Ghost wolves? Maybe she was more far gone than she thought... That letter was from those spirits? He didn't see anything like it, not that he could remember anyway.\n\"Well it's just... Spirit wolves are a lot to believe. I noticed you're traveling alone as well. For how Long Have you been traveling alone?\" \nHe didn't say it, but it was a little obvious what he was implying." } ]

Still soon enough to set out on our journey.\" Kibaru said paying his meal as well before standing up to get a room \"Well. Have a good one pal. Be seeing you tomorrow\"" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "\"Later.\"The Sinai said in response as the Kemonomimi got up to purchase a room. Terrell decided to linger in the main room for a short while longer, taking the time to rest a bit while he idly watched the other people in the tavern." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Kibaru goes to his room and sleep." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "After some time, he too left to get a room for the night. Who knew what tomorrow would bring?" } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "Ikehara returned after an hour or so, a few extra scuffs across her face and exposed skin from fighting back the forest. Slung across her back were the flasks, now full with clean (enough) water, along with a trio of hares; bound by a length of rope and hanging off the hook on her crossbow.\n\n\"Something to eat for now. We'll hunt something decent tomorrow, when the light is better.\"\nShe concluded with another huff, this one from exhaustion as she expended the last of her useful energy for the day. Settling beside whatever Terrel had set up while she was gone, drawing her dagger and getting to work skinning her game." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Terrell had been sitting near a makeshift fire while he waited for her to return. So much time had passed, that part of him had begun suspecting she either completely wandered off or had something happened to her. With the sound of her making her way back into camp, Terrell's head whirled around.\"Where did you g-.\"He cut himself off, the question soon being answered in seeing the game she had brought back during the time she was gone.\"Here I am thinking you fell into the bay.\"He commented as she came over to begin working on skinning the animals.\"Nice catch.\"" }, { "from": "human", "value": "\"It'd have taken this long to find the stream, anyway. You think it's close, considering we're near the desert?\"\nShe raised an eyebrow to his mild incredulity, but brushed it off once she heard a compliment. The okamimi smiled wryly, finishing off one of the skinnings and handing him the meat to season or cook bare.\n\"It's a good glade. Lots of fauna.\"" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "\"I'd think it's close enough considering we'd been following the bay this whole time.\"He commented in return. Terrell tilted his head back a bit as she went to hand him the meat, lightly holding up his hand in turn.\"Enjoy your catch.\"He said to her.\"I, uh still don't eat meat.\"At the last part he let out a bit of an awkward chuckle, though at the very least she could enjoy the fruit of her own labor. Terrell looked away from her to focus on the fire.\"Good to hear there are other animals out here. Now we actually know there's a chance of survival.\"That bit was of course a joke considering how long they traveled the desert without many signs of life, though he found it amusing either way." }, { "from": "human", "value": "\"Hn, sorry... Got a little too into it.\"\nShe sighed, a touch bashful from her mistake. For Ikehara, the concept of cutting out meat from her diet was unthinkable, though she attributed that to her ethnic quirks. Her ears flattened as she thought on this, figuring that a hunt would prove meaningless if Terrel wouldn't be interested in venison...\n\"Where are we headed tomorrow, then? Or a few more days here?\"" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "\"There's no rush if you want to hunt to your heart's content out here.\"He said with a light grin.\"I'm sure TCU would like it very much.\"The Sinai reached for his hair, taking out a small bird-like Rodent from it and holding it out to her.\"No fun in letting the catch go to waste, right?\"He asked her, noticing how deflated she seemed. Terrell supposed he could see why, the catches being meant to share, but even if he did not care much for eating it, he could find other ways to put it to use." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Her ears perked up at the little creature, twitching gently at the sounds it made.\n\"I forgot you had a furrow. Where'd you get him, anyway?\"\nShe cooed, feeding the little one scraps of cooked rabbit as she ate from it as well." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The furrow took pieces of the rabbit, nibbling away at it as it sat down in his palm.\"I was paid to go exterminate a group of them that was becoming a nuisance at this farm, but I decided to keep this guy at the very least.\"He answered, briefing around the details of events that went on that day.\"He was a trooper. Tried to put up a fight till the very end.\"" }, { "from": "human", "value": "\"What, did you take it instead of payment?\"\nShe smirked at the creature, nodding appreciatively at his origin. Unless it was a useful thing, Ikehara couldn't imagine taking in a wild animal - far too liable to act out, especially during a hunt or a march. She fished out one of her broken crossbow shafts, spearing one of the rabbits and holding it over the flame.\n\"Is that sort of stuff solo work?\"" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Typically, though I usually find myself having to work with others whether it's for better or for worst.\"He said, noting all the jobs he had done. Some people were easier to work with than others, though as long as the job got done, he didn't care so much.\"The Centaur I worked with then was fine though. Helped out a lot to make the job go by quicker, especially with the furrows that tried to run off.\"" }, { "from": "human", "value": "\"Centaur, eh? Don't see those outside their tribes that often, these days.\"\nAgain she cooed, this time from a mild interest in such an abnormal acquaintance. Even for her, some of the other demi-humans were a rare sight; Ikehara having grown tired of the reams of elves and macen running about." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "\"Can't say I've met many on my travels either.\"He said.*\"I never thought too much of it though, but I occasionally see him sometimes at least. Who knows, I'm sure we're bound to find some out here while we're traveling about.\"" } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "The Kuilei was sent flying almost twenty feet away, dropping its sword from the sudden blast. It fell onto the ground with a heavy thump, and it would probably take a turn or two to recover.\n\nThe other two Kuileis was successfully avoided by Zara, and now they once again attempted to surround her and reposition themselves behind Zara." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Zara went swiftly for the Cooled that was knocked down by her Wave Blast, opting to execute it before it could get up.\nIf she could make it to the Cooled in time, Zara would bring up her Coach, blade pointed down, and stab into the ground through the Cooled's back. To ensure it was dead after the fact, she'd then bring the Coach back out and perform a slice to take its head off the body, which could guarantee a permanent death depending on their method of animation.\nShe'd enter her defensive stance again afterward and face the remaining two that approached her.\n\nSame Statuses" }, { "from": "human", "value": "The Kuilei on the ground raised its shield to block the attack. Unfortunately, it was not enough to prevent the Nodachi from piercing through its shield and into its body. As the last bit of artificial life faded from the Kuilei and its torso crystal were shattered, it dragged the shield - and the Nodachi to himself, ensuring the weapon would be stuck for a bit.\n\nMeanwhile, the other two Kuileis continued to charge with their sword, one coming from each diagonal side in front of her, or behind her, trying to take her down from both side at once. They'll reach her the next turn." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Zara attempted to pull her Coach from the other's grip. Time was short, and she decided she may fare better abandoning her weapon for the time being to use her Katina.\nAnd so she did - twisting the Coach, if possible, to ensure the puppet was dead for certain, Zara then released it, drew her Katina from her side, and held it in the standard stance she had it before, at the beginning of the battle.\nHer still stance allowed her revelation to become alternate again, giving her the twenty-meters range, and allowing her to identify the two coming in.\nWhichever one was coming in first would be the one Zara would attempt to take down in one strike if it was possible. She needed to wait for the perfect moment." }, { "from": "human", "value": "The revelation would reveals that the Kuilei to the right is coming in about two second before the one on the left. Both have their shield up to cover their approach.\n\nThe one on the right would thrust forward the shield first to bind her katana and push it toward her, while attempting to swing downward and cut her on her arm. The other one rounded and simply tried to slam her down with its shield." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Zara swiftly moved back from the Cooled that attacked, avoiding its shield attack, and then stepping forward swiftly to deal a downwards strike as a counterattack.\nShe'd then perform a swift spin and slash horizontally, aiming for the chest gem with hopes to either damage it or destroy it outright. It was more than likely only going to deal slight damage as this was a swift, light attack.\nShe'd then step to the side to avoid the other Cooled's attack, and backstop to make some distance. Zara went back to her coach and sheathed her Katina, with hopes that she could pull her blade out now.\n\nStamina: Fatigued (from Slightly)" }, { "from": "human", "value": "A loud thud of metal crashing against wood would indicate the result of her downward strike - The Kuilei simply blocked it with the shield with barely any damage. It would be easy to pull out the katana as it is a dedicated cutting sword. There's no telling how long its edge would hold under abuse though.\n\nThe Kuilei once again slammed the shield forward to block the strike easily, and then made a thrust toward Zara's torso from behind the shield. It was a typical gladius thrust, angled slightly upward.\n\nThe other Kuilei pursued her relentlessly, not giving her time to step away and take back her Nodachi." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "As Zara's attacks were blocked, her other actions after the attacks were cancelled.\nShe'd bring her Katina up to block the blade strike, sending it off to the side. Zara would focus on breaking this enemy's posture, if she was able to do so before being attacked by the other Cooled.\nOf course, the other one tried to slam her again. She'd shift her focus to it and swiftly move around its shield, then turning the Katina to reverse grip and stabbing it through the Cooled's back. Whether this went through the gem on its chest or missed and only dealt damage was up to An sari.\nShe'd pull her Katina back and bring it back to normal grip and standard stance.\n\nSame Status" }, { "from": "human", "value": "The Kuilei she attempted to move around pivoted itself to keep her in front of its shield and avoid an attack. Her evasion meant that the Kuilei is now lined up, stopping the other one from attacking her as it needs to reposition.\n\nIf she chose to continue the stabbing attack, the Kuilei, being the asshole it was, turned the shield toward the katana, attempting to take the hit on the shield and get it stuck. Then, it would slash at Zara's knees. If not, the Kuilei would simply slash at the knee." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Zara paid attention to its movement, the way it adjusted its shield to block her stab, and instead went low, under its guard, with a sweeping kick to takes its feet out from below. This may be swift enough to interrupt its attempt to attack her, but that's up to the GM.\nIn this same action, she would turn her Katina back to forward grip and stand back up after. If it fell as a result of the kick, Zara would rise back up with a Katina slash across its body as it would be vulnerable while falling. If not, she would not be able to perform this action." }, { "from": "human", "value": "The kick would be enough to interrupt the attack, deflecting its sword to the side momentarily, but it wasn't enough to make it lose its balance. The other one tried to slash at her right hand from above. Kuileis are sure relentless." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Zara returned to her feet and as she rose she would angle her Katina against the other's sword and move forward. The angle of her blade to its blade served to deflect the attack, allowing Zara to redirect its momentum without stopping it at all, and knocking the Cooled off-balance, breaking its posture.\nWhile the Cooled's guard was open as a result of the stagger, Zara would drive her Katina into the chest gem if it was an option. If it was not an option, she'd swing a little bit higher to go for the neck with hopes to take the head off.\nZara wasn't sure whether a decapitation could kill the Cooled, or whether the chest gem must be destroyed. At least this would confirm whichever was the case, depending on which attack came to be true." }, { "from": "human", "value": "As Zara committed herself to attacking the other Kuilei, the one she ignored would thrust forward, jabbing its sword at her butt since she exposed herself by attacking one opponent without putting the other out of threat range.\n\nThe one she attempted to stagger's strike would be deflected successfully by her, but the Kuilei pulled back its shield, turning into the strike so it would graze against the side of its torso instead of penetrating deep into its chest.\n\nThe sounds of distant footstep intensify." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Zara was struck by the other attack and attempted to move away to get out of danger before another hit. The strike hit her lower back, and may cause a potential loss in mobility depending on how severe it was.\nShe'd bring up her Katina into another stance, with the handle high beside her and the blade pointed forward. Zara would use this to opt for thrusting attacks where possible.\n\nCondition: Slightly Injured, potential mobility damage.\nStamina: Somewhat Fatigued.\nMANA: 60/70" }, { "from": "human", "value": "The cut was quite light, thanksfully. The footsteps sounds was intensifying by the second, and it seems reinforcements might come soon.\n\nThe two Kuilei readied their shield and distanced themselves from her. A shield make thrusting attacks extremely difficult to perform.." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Zara thought of her potential options. She needed to take these two down before the others got to her.\nShe could potentially use her Augment Melee and Red Shift to drastically increase her strength, to even penetrate a shield and kill one of them outright. Otherwise, she could try to use her Wave Blasts to make them vulnerable to an instant takedown, like the first one. Basic Bolts won't do much considering they could block them easily. As much as Zara tries to circumvent their guards, they manage to recover in time to block her again. She could possibly put away her weapon and try to overwhelm them with Martial Arts and Augment Melee. As an Earth Macon, she had reinforced bone on her arms and fists that allowed for more physical damage, which might be enough to shatter basic wooden shields if she used Augment Melee.\nEventually, she opted to take the last option. Zara sheathed her Katina and then brought up her fists, shifting into a martial arts stance with a close guard and arms up.\nShe'd then charge herself with Radiance, using her Augment Melee ability to increase her strength by 5, now becoming 8 from her base 3, for the next melee attack or series of melee attacks.\nZara then rushed for one of the Cooled and went for a jumping punch. She opted to aim for the shield, as to be able to break it with her combined strength and reinforced fists and prevent this one from guarding against her anymore.\nIf the strategy worked and the shield was destroyed, there was a possibility that Zara's fist could go straight through and shatter the life gem on the Cooled's chest, immediately killing it, but that was up to the GMs.\n\nCondition: Slightly Injured.\nStamina: Somewhat Fatigued.\nMANA: 55/70." }, { "from": "human", "value": "The Kuilei knew something was wrong when her hands started to glow, which would indicate an enchantment of some sort. These were seasoned fighters, embedded with memories to fight properly..\n\nThe Kuilei used the iron boss to block the strike if possible, turning its side toward the girl, and then used the sword to bind itself behind the shield to add power to the counterpunch.\n\nThe other one would see Zara committing herself to a punch, and then simply stepped in from the side to slash her back. The shield would hold against the strike. After all, it was designed to endure multiple slashes, even axes and spears. What would an enhanced punch be? It would probably affect its integrity a bit.." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Zara planted her feet on the shield and kicked off it, staggering the Cooled further while simultaneously evading the other one's attack. She landed on her feet a short distance away and reassessed the simulation.\nZara underestimated the integrity of the shields. Unfortunately, her bare fists plus Augment Melee wouldn't be able to destroy them, though dealing considerable damage indeed.\nHer other option was to go for her Coach again. It had managed to deal damage to one of the shields earlier. If Zara could make it to her Coach before being interrupted again, she may be able to pull it out.\nSo Zara went for it, sprinting toward her Coach. She'd try to get around the Cooled where possible, but if she had no other choice, she'd try to go through or over them, depending on what actions they were going to take against her." }, { "from": "human", "value": "As Zara landed on the ground, the Kuilei that was not staggered charged toward her, trying to ram her down before she can turn around and draw her sword. The one that was staggered is now recovering from the strike." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Zara rushed toward the one that charged her and made an attempt to vault over its shield. She'd jump for the shield, grabbing onto its top and lifting herself quickly, then jumping over the Cooled, kicking it in the back to send it further away for good measure if it was possible.\nIf it did work, Zara would continue to her Coach. Maybe she made it this turn, and if she did, she'd attempt to pull it out of the ground and the dead one's grip, one more time." }, { "from": "human", "value": "As Zara tried to grab the shield, the Kuilei swung it away and thrusted its sword toward her leg. With Zara charging toward him, there was no way to change her momentum easily. Perhaps acrobatic move is best not done when one is unarmoured and unarmed." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Zara would have been struck by the attack and backed up again, then lowering her stance with a hand on her Katina handle. Perhaps the first option was the best after all.\nZara activated her Red Shift, the power of wrath enveloping her and increasing her Strength by 4, to a total of 7. She'd then charge her Radiance again, and activate her Augment Melee, to increase her strength by another 5, to 12.\nBoth actions would take up the full Turn as they both took about half of the time each. Therefore, Zara would be able to unleash her attack next Turn. She waited for the right moment to counterattack for an immediate kill, if it was at all possible.\n\nCondition: Somewhat Injured.\nStamina: Fatigued.\nMANA: 45/70" }, { "from": "human", "value": "The sounds of the reinforcement would appear, and two more Kuilei appeared, each holding a 2 meters long two-handed steel-tipped spear, they would make it in the next turn within Zara's sight.\n\nThe Kuileis backed off, knowing what happened last time they got struck by this kind of hit. The two swordman huddled together to support eachother mutually." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Zara then sprinted forward toward her Coach, knowing that the Cooled refused to fight her with such enhanced strength. As she was not performing an attack, her Augment Melee would stay active. Whether Red Shift did, however, was up to GMs.\nZara made it to her Coach. With her already-enhanced strength, she would most definitely be able to pull it from the ground. She never drew her Katina again. Now she has her two-handed weapon back, Zara may fare better than she did before.\nZara would then rush toward one of the Cooled before her Turn ended, if it was possible. As she approached, she'd swing her Coach with immense force, triply enhanced strength. Whether this would kill regardless of defense was also up to GMs." }, { "from": "human", "value": "The Kuilei watched as she sprinted to pull out her Nodachi. They'd rather not bet their chance against her. And so, they turned around and fled, running quickly to avoid her attack, toward their spear equipped comrades." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Zara continued to chase her target down, closing in distance before dealing her strike. She moved swiftly towards them and, hopefully, would make it close enough to take one of them down.\nIf her sideways sprinting cleave landed, it'd more than likely cleave a Cooled in half, assuming they did not turn around to guard with their shield. Perhaps she was fortunate enough to finally be able to kill one more after so long." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Given the two does not actaully have much of a difference in running speed, the Kuileis would continue to maintain distance, forcing Zara to chase them toward their comrades. Their comrades readied their spear in a two-handed, underarm grip, to fend off the angry girl." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Zara continued to rush toward the group. Her Radiance flared, suggesting she was preparing for a Wave Blast to send them all flying and make them vulnerable to fatal blows.\nAs she closed in, Zara would then unleash her Wave Blast against the four foes.

The two spearman closed in from the side, using the tip of the spear to threaten her, while pulling it back enough so that she cannot ward away its head." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Zara moved toward one of the spacemen, swiftly spinning with her Coach and performing a powerful strike to attack. It was not decided by GMs whether her Red Shift ended, thus this Spearman would suffer the full power of Red Shift + Augment Melee - 12 Strength with the Coach, would deal tremendous damage to the Spearman, or his weapon if he blocked." }, { "from": "human", "value": "The Kuilei had no intention of blocking the strike. His pointy stick is longer than hers, and so he used a bayonet thrust, thrusting toward her knee as she swung. Her comrade, seeing her disrespect for the threat of their weapon, performed the same and thrusted toward her other knee with the spear. The plan is simple - They'll stab her before she hit." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Zara swiftly moved to the side to evade the thrust of the attack, and seeing that it was targeted toward her lower body, it gave her the perfect window to counter the attack with a skillful step.\nAs the spear passed beside her, Zara brought up her leg and slammed it down to the shaft, forcing the weapon to the ground and disabling the weapon for a short moment - long enough for her to deal a fatal blow as her enemy's posture was broken.\nA swift slash of the Coach relieved the Cooled of its head. As a result of this, her Augment Melee was exhausted and thus Zara's strength declined back to the normal effect as she also dispelled her Red Shift to conserve her MANA.\nZara was struck with the other spear as a result, but she was fine with the fact that she managed to kill another Cooled, finally. She moved back as the spear hit her and took a short moment to recover, ready in time for the next Turn.\n\nCondition: Injured.\nStamina: Considerably Fatigued.\nMANA: 30/70" }, { "from": "human", "value": "The other Kuilei who scored a hit ran forward to drive the spear into her knee, so to disable her.

Better to escape and come back later once she's rested to try again, assuming they stuck around after this.\nShe wasn't finished with them yet.\nDue to the size of her Coach, Zara was required to hold it in hand as she ran away. She had no time to stop, take the sheathe out, and put the blade away. It wouldn't slow her down too much, but it would cause a bit of slowness.\nShe would go... Where? Perhaps to the estate to inform the master of what has happened and tell them she'd return later to try again? Or set up camp somewhere and tend to her wounds on her own?\nZara decided to return to the estate, to be upfront with the estate master about this setback.

I need time to recover, only slightly, and then I will return to finish them off.\"\nZara was not going to rest until she was back in peak condition - her rest would restore some MANA, fatigue, and health states, if she was allowed to do so here.

Whatever dullness there was in the blades she would sharpen with a stone. There was nothing she could do right now to repair any present damages as she had no kit, therefore she would need to consult a blacksmith after this was done to repair them.\nZara checked her wounds and allowed the Qua worker to help with restoring her from injury. Multiple of the injuries were on her back due to the Cooled taking advantage of her lowered guard as she was dealing with another. She'd either need to deal with them all at once, or quickly dispatch each individual before another can take advantage.\nWith that, Zara would rest to recover.\n\nPost-Rest Statuses:\nCondition: Slightly Injured\nFatigue: Fine\nMANA: 50/70" }, { "from": "human", "value": "After the recovery, she could go back to the battlefield, and it seems most of the Kuileis had fled, leaving behind gemstones that were worth 200 silver in total, plus their swords.

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Ah Pinaccelia... Land best used for its sea and slave trades. Nothing screamed an Elven land more. Well high Elven anyways. Terrel would walk through the main city that sat adjacent to the coast, just close enough for the salty air to meet his nose. The Elf never cared to associate with the higher elves when traveling through their land, naught because of their questionable morality of their trades, but more so how haughty they typically were for their standings among others.

Terrell would give a light chuckle, saying:\"I'm sure you've seen enough elves to be able to guess what I look like under the mask.

It was like perfect harmony.\n\nOther than that, IRA had made her way over to the wood stove that she often used to cook and placed some chopped wood in it in a small tower like fashion. She then took some tinder made of birchbark she had nearby and set it in the middle of the wood tower thing before setting that ablaze with a flint and steel.

Pissed off of waiting, Kalisha winds up her Kanabo and throws the weapon at one of the pairs of glowing eyes to hit it from range. Ire, still aflame, would begin to set fire to that zone, and eventually it will force the wolves to either attack or flee before the flames surround all parties involved.\nNow, Kalisha lowers her stance with arms out wide, and surveys the area surrounding her.

Several loud cracking noises resound through the area as the wolf's spinal cord is snapped in two, and Kalisha tosses the body to the ground. The alpha would now more than likely be paralysed from the mid-section down, and permanently so.

Sufi didn't really like the looks of that one bit.\n\nNow, Sufi couldn't say that this was definite or anything, but it did seem that most humans didn't really see the more animalistic races as equal... Which wasn't a surprise to Sufi seeing as it was the same in her homeland. Thankfully she had the ability to conceal her ears and tail and at least disguise as a human, which was probably better than not.\n\nDespite all this, Sufi felt a bit sad to see how the younger looking woman was treated... But she couldn't exactly jump in to help without seeming suspicious, she did look like a high class noble after all with the fancy armor and accessories that she was wearing, but in reality she was dirt poor in this new land. After some quick thought, Sufi decided upon at least asking if the younger woman was okay, so she approached Jade.\n\"Hey, are you okay?\"\n\nAs Sufi said those four words, it was more than evident that her accent didn't match that of those who lived in this region, which made her stand out a little. This was less of a worry though as Sufi knew that she could conjure up a story easily enough if she ever had to tell where she was from, she would just need to see a map of this region and all.

Should I detain her right now?_\n\nJade swallowed and clenched the silver in one hand, staring up intently at the woman. \"Who are you? U-Um..

This didn't match her looks through because despite her nervousness, she was trying to show confidence in how she stood, but that was pretty hard to do in the situation that she was in at least.\n\nAll in all, Sufi really didn't see this conversation ending too well...

It would be easy to either enslave her or simply make her disappear, neither of these things are what she wanted at all.\n\nSufi had also been caught off guard by Jade's reaction to her name, she hadn't really seen it as cute or anything before, but she guessed that to one who hadn't heard it before it could be seen as cute or soft or what not.

Was this young woman in a similar situation with having an owner and such?

Unless you're here for business, I'm not sure he'd even want to speak with you...\" Jade said, rubbing her chin as she thought.\n\n\"But.. You could meet my master, General Bougaine. He might be able to help. He's busy, right now..\" Jade said. She paused for a few moments, her voice softening.\n\n\"I don't understand... You washed up on shore.. Was there a ship wreck?

After that she remembered bailing and floating on a large chunk of wood from the ship before she blacked out and woke up on the shore. This being all she knew, of course she would be confused and even clueless, she wasn't from here after all\n\nWhen Jade had mentioned meeting her master, General Touraine, Sufi saw that as the second-best thing that she could do in this sort of situation. What worried her though was that her attire looked and probably was that of a General's armor set, she wasn't sure what she did before today, but it probably involved some sort of fighting seeing as her armor was pretty protective.\n\"As for General Touraine, I would like to meet him whenever it's convenient. I would also like to make it known that I would like to meet him on peaceful matters... If that helps at all\"\n\nDespite the composure that Sufi was showing, she was just going off of what felt right in her gut. She didn't know anyone here so she was feeling the same about Jade as she felt about her, only it was less suspicion and more of a sense of slight curiosity overlapped with immense worry. This worry coming from the fact that though Sufi wasn't dead in the water, she still wasn't sure if she could make a living here easily... She would rather not remain homeless in the winter and eventually freeze to death.\n\"And I guess meeting with the imperial majesty can wait...\"" }, { "from": "human", "value": "\"Great!\" Jade exclaimed, though the excitement didn't quite carry over to her face.

Besides, as an important-looking human, she was being nice to the kemonomimi, and that was something Jade would easily remember.\n\n\"The General is busy right now. But, he told me to buy something with this silver,\" Jade said, holding the silver out to the woman. Her hands were wrapped up with bandages, and her nails were sharp, primed for combat.\n\n\"Do you know how to buy things? I've never done it on my own before. He told me to buy... Oh, what was it..\" Jade murmured, trying her hardest to remember as she closed her eyes shut. Suddenly, she opened them. \"Yes, I remember now! A necklace or a fragrance.

But she wasn't going to take wild guesses on such a matter, she was going to help after all\n\nWhat she needed to figure out though was where they could find these items, she had no idea what the layout of this city was so it may take her a bit of wandering around to find a marketplace or something similar to that. When they find that, Sufi knew that she could help at least pick something out. As for what that something should be, she knew that a well crafted necklace should work best, half because of the looks and half because of it's longevity.\n\"Okay so in my opinion we should get a necklace instead of a fragrance, a necklace is both parts beautiful and long-lasting after all. We also need to find a jeweler or some place similar to get the necklace if you do agree on it\"\n\nSufi may have been clueless earlier but now that she had her mind set on the task on hand, she knew what needed to be done to accomplish said task.

I want to do a good job. I want him to be happy with me.\" Jade said, her face set with resolve. \"If we want to find a jewel... Er? We should probably go this way.

Probably because she had no money local to this region at all. She could solve that problem later though, especially when there were other things to focus on. As they walked through, Sufi saw just how foreign the architecture was in this region... It was familiar to her, but it was also obviously different to her... She just couldn't place her finger on it though.\n\nOne thing that Sufi had noticed about Jade though was just how happy she was, especially for being what she presumed was a slave. Of course, she was assuming some things, but it was near obvious to Sufi that Jade wasn't treated badly, which was also reinforced by the fact that she was actually allowed to go out and about to go shopping. Other than the whole possible slave thing, Sufi could definitely see Jade being a normal towns person... Which may have been an odd thing to think, but it was at least on the better end of things in Sufi's mind.\n\"With they way you are, I bet the General is already happy with you.

Nonetheless, she planned on helping Jade get this errand done right!\n\nWhen they had reached what seemed to be a Jeweler's shop, Sufi stopped and peered through the window to see if her assumption was correct, and by the seems of if it was!

That adventurer would be Iran and his crew, thought specifically Iran due to his even nature.\n\nSure enough the dark elf wouldn't waste any time, striding across the rustic wooden flooring until she was close enough to toss a fairly large bag of silver in the middle of his little dinner with a perfect balance of grace and authority...

This evening, it's vicinity was quite subdued, though it was hardly an unusual occurrence for such establishments, who simply bore witness to quiet days at times, where no caravans, pilgrimages and bands would pass through this junction of the road. Thus, the only sign of activity came from the ever-rising fumes from the chimney, and the faint, placid breathing of the horses in the stables, and... An enormous cloaked figure, twice the height of a regular man, who stood next to the stables, humming as he fed regular carrots to a regular stallion- a draft horse resting after a hard day of labour, lazily munching it's offerings.\n\nA lone figure approached on foot from the west. From afar it was obvious she was foreign to these lands, a kemonimi wearing peculiar armour and attire. Her weapons were slung over her back and more fit for a battlefield than for personal defence while travel.\n\nShe approached the Snarling Boar, noticing the telltale signs that it was a tavern.
