Lunath looked towards the dwarf, and gave a soft smile.
"No, I'm fine, thank you. But if you could give something to the lad over there," he motioned now to Seneca. "He looks like he could use a little something."

"Perhaps the young woman would like some tea, to bring calm?" The lizard creature at the bar rasped softly, watching the group with unblinking eyes.

"Hey why can't I have a free drink too? I was involved in that shit," Seneca said, a little peeved, and having not heard Lunath's offer/
"I know you, if you want a free drink you'll find a way to get it," Sephora teased,
He just rolled his eyes.

Standing quietly, almost protectively, in front of The Maiden, the long-haired Elf girl kept a vigilant eye for any brewing conflict between the three men. She had been to war before, she had seen the terror and pain that having a blade cleave a man and two could do.
"M-... Maiden, are you alright?" Miri asked, laying a hand gently on the girl. "Would you... like something to calm your nerves?"
"You want someone to water it down for you, pup?" Alexander growled at Seneca. He turned to Sephora. "Fucking bitch could probably drink more than you."

" Do I look like a lightweight? I'm a grownass man I can handle a few beers just fine" Seneca said, " Why do you assume this shit about me?"

"A few. Oh, really? One or... maybe even two glasses?" Kitter said, laughing quietly as he turned to face The Maiden while he waited. He dug his blade into the floor and leaned onto it, back straight as he kept vigil over The Maiden, all the while Miri continued glaring at him. "You're a twig. A fucking branch, easy to snap."
"Apologies, Maiden." Kitter said, looking at the girl. He looked at Miri, gritting his teeth and staring daggers into her soul. "We should make haste, or night will claim our journey."

Seneca blushed, " What else would a few mean? And it's hard to not be a twig when you're family is poor as fuck."
" We should leave soon..." Sephora said, " I don't like the idea of not being at camp by dark"

Sinafae decided to try again, now that the fight died down, and poked the Maiden on her shoulder. "Um...it looks like I'm part of your group as well..." She said, showing her the gem.

The dwarf gave a hearty laugh at the Rogue's request, returning behind the counter to make Kitter his order. "Aye, lad, help yerself." He told the lad, remembering Lunath's request.
The Maiden snapped back into reality then, gazing back at Miri. "I'm alright, I just... got lost in the moment." She replied, giving a small smile to the the Elvish cleric. The blonde's attention shifted to a tapering on her shoulder.
"Ah, apologies!" The Maiden replied, her eyes analyzing the Drow quickly before she noticed the jewel.
"Ooooh, emeralds ya got there." The server's brow quirked up as he passed Kitter his drink (which the paladin would, regretfully, find quite a bit weaker than anything he had in Batriel). "On holy business, m'lady?"
"Well, yes, but I don't believe it's anything at liberty to be told..."
"Ah, I understand. Still, ya've got roughly..." The server looked over to one of those newfangled machines someone in the Empire's capital had cooked up to tell time. "Two hours before nightfall, maybe three. Are ya waiting for anyone?"
The Maiden did a quick tally of the emeralds she saw- she was missing at least one companion. "Ah... yes... But if they're not here soon, we'll have to make haste without them."

Vsti sipped hot tea watching the party as they gathered up themselves and left the tavern, making the haste that was suggested of them.
Of course, a mage is never late, and a mage is never early. A mage is always right where they want to be. As such... well, Vsti followed at without revealing their gemstone as well. It would be interesting to see how this turns out without a dragonborn for now.

"Get me some of the strongest stuff you have," Seneca said, glaring at Kitter.
"Damn it, Senny," Sephora said, "This isn't the time to prove your manhood or whatever. I'm not dragging your drunk ass with me"

"Lad, ya've got no meat on ya bones," The server cautioned, pulling out a glass for Seneca from behind the counter. "And yer gonna be travelin' pretty quickly. Ya sure you want to get tha' hard stuff?"
The Maiden leaned to the right ever so slightly, looking at the clock. Nightfall was a concern, after all- especially with the bands of thieve that had been making news, roaming the outskirts of the city at night. With only such a short span of time to make way, the group were bound to face them if they didn't make haste.
"I'm sorry, but we need to leave." She spoke up to the party. "We'll just have to hope that the missing member can find us soon."
The server looked at Seneca with an amused glance. "Sorry lad. Yer gunna have'ta try the booze later. Come back after yer done with the lady."
The party had only a few minutes to gather themselves before they were led outside, leaving the city in a matter of minutes. The dwarvish server waved as they left, his face having turned into one of concern, before heading to the backroom as he mumbled something to himself.
By nightfall, the party had made a decent amount of progress. Aseril was a few miles behind, with the group currently setting up camp inside the forest, having found a decent sized clearing. The moon high was resting high in sky, gently lighting the area around them as the cold breeze of a Spring night blew about with just as much gentleness.

Seneca sighed as he was denied his booze, " Very well..."
As they left the city Seneca was a bit bewildered. He had never left the confines of the city before. Sephora had though, the woods were where their father would take her to teach her magic, since she was a little girl. Their father often tried to drag Seneca along, but he always found an excuse to stay home with their mother instead.
" I told you you should come out here with me," Sephora said, being able to pretty much read Seneca's face, " It's pretty great huh?"
" It's so...big..." was all he responded.
When they reached camp, Seneca took the responsibility of setting up the place where he and his sister would e sleeping, while Sephora laid exhausted on her bed roll.
She looked over confused as he set up traps. "What are those for? You think we're gonna get attacked by wild animals?"
" No I think we're gonna be attacked by a crazy ass Paladin."
"You mean Kitty?"
Seneca snorted, "Kitty?"
Sephora stretched out, "Yeah since his name sounds like kitty, and he calls us pups."
Seneca just chuckled to himself.

Taking the mug in one of his own colossal hands, Kitter quickly chugged the contents without spilling a drop before he slapped it onto the table with a thunderous clatter and a loud burp. He immediately after scooped up his backpack, followed by the large blade.
Swinging it over his shoulder, Kitter marched as Miri helped The Maiden to stand, taking most of her items and adding them to her own pack to ease the strain. Although she was a petite, young thing, she didn't complain or moan about the walking.
Nightfall came and Kitter immediately set up camp, rolling his bedroll and pitching a cover over it. Miri had done the same, helping The Maiden when she needed it before she went about making a campfire.
"You, runt." Kitter bellowed, appearing from the darkness. His approach wasn't heralded by the loud clatter of his armor. He had disrobed, appearing in just his 'covering'. The man had no shame, really. "You're on first watch."
The man's body was heavily scarred, marred by perpetual reminders of conflict and torment. The twins got a real good close up when he got square in Seneca's face, gritting his teeth.
"You fall asleep on the watch, runt." Kitter warned, glaring into his very soul. "And I'll make sure that when you wake up your own cock is firmly implanted in your own asshole."
Standing tall and rigid, Kitter glared at Sephora.
"Call me that again." He said, testing the girl as he gave her the very same, into the soul stare. "Go on."

After setting the traps up, Seneca took his shirt off, revealing exactly how scrawny and bony he truly was. Time for bed...
Or so he thought. Both twins looked up, not sure which runt was bein referred to. Sephora gasped and blushed as she saw Kitter's state of undress and her eyes were noticeably focused on his crotch through the whole conversation.
" Isnt it a bit rude to be walking around half naked with the Maiden right there? And why should I get first watch?" he retorted, getting up. One of the traps grazed him and he yelled out in pain.

Lunath had led the trip. He had taken several journeys beyond the city, through the forests, in his time - those days were long gone by now, and he at least knew that. As nightfall came, he pressed them on further, not daring to rest in the forest itself, but in a clearing.
While the others laid down their packs to rest and undressed, he gathered twigs and small stones, laying them together in the middle of the clearing. Within ten minutes, a stately fire warmed the group and lit up the clearing. Shadows moved beyond the trees.
He laid down his pack and bedroll, sitting down against the base of one of the trees, sword and armor still attached. He had grown used to them, of course - always on watch, always alert.
"Leave them alone, Kitter." He looked up from his hands to the half-naked man across the clearing. "He doesn't have to take first watch if he doesn't want to. I won't be getting much sleep myself."

"Celibacy and willpower, runt." Kitter said, returning to full height as he got out of the man's face, towering above the pair. Out of his armor, he was less of an ironclad giant, but one could see the undeniable path of a warrior he followed. He turned to look at Sephora, noting her eyes and inwardly wincing. "Something one of us is yet to learn."
"Don't fuck this up." He continued, turning to leave. "First watch."
However, the word of a certain Elven Knight took him to face this newest 'threat', spitting on the ground.
"Elvish cunts like you do no favors for Men like him." He continued. "He has to learn responsibility, endurance and suffering. No-one out here is going to give quarter, neither should we."
Murmuring quietly, Miri came up to the assembled group.
"I-I heard someone shout." She continued, straying away from Kitter towards Seneca, noting his wound. "Can... can I see?"

" I... I'm sorry. I've never seen an unclothed man before. " Sephora said nervously.
Seneca got up, limping a bit, " Nice to see you acknowledge that I'm a man," he said, cringing. He turned to Miri, "Careful I set traps. I cut myself on one." he held out his ankle that was welling up with blood.. " Do you have any bandages?"

"Pretty one like you?" Kitter said, in an almost out-of-character tone that seemed so complimentary and honest which stood in stark contrast to his arrogant and brutal nature. "Sure to get raped somewhere along this journey."
With that, he turned on a heel and left the girl to wallow in the comment as he went to sit by the fire to pray, eat and drink before he got some rest.
The petite Elven girl stood shocked, glaring at the man and fuming as her delicate fingers shook. She didn't raise complaint however, almost out of fear.
"I-... I hope there is forgiveness enough in all of us for a man like that." She said, almost like she was taking it directly from some sort of Biblical or Religious text. She made her way carefully over to the man with the wounded ankle. "H-... Here. Sit. Let me."
Almost nudging the man into the desired position, she attempted to get a delicate hold on his ankle and raise it up to get a better look at it.

Sephora gasped and as Kitter left she began wimpering and tears flowed down her eyes,
"Sephora I wont let anything happen to you. He's just trying to scare you, Just go to bed okay?"
As Miri inspected his ankle, he sighed, " I set these traps up to stop him, and he bypassed them completely. I don't know why he has it out for me and my sister, he seems like one of those human superiority fuckers, and there aren't many of us to begin with.

"Sephora, a-... are you alright?" Miri asked, desperately wanting to go over to the woman and comfort her. However, she was too preoccupied with this man's ankle, now resting gently on her lap and staining her clothes with blood. Biting her lip and focusing intently, Miri looked up with her intelligent eyes. "It's okay."
"I-... It could have taken the whole foot." She said, gently placing one hand onto the wound itself. It was most likely incredibly painful, but that soon fell away as a warm, golden light began to consume the wound. "I'm afraid we don't have the time to let your foot heal properly."
Allowing him to gently place his foot at any angle he wanted, Miri smiled as she began to slide her bloodied hands along her thighs, scraping it off.
"It'll be sore for a few days." She continued, now standing. "I'm afraid that's all I can do. Try to keep it up while you sleep."
Turning, Miri looked at Sephora, waiting for a response on whether or not she needed to be consoled. Despite his words, Miri knew that there was truth in them. She knew that if not for the large, ironclad Paladin, the Elven Knight and even the smart, agile Seneca, the Bandits would most likely overpower the girls, rape and enslave them.

"...I... I'm okay," Sephora mumbled.
Seneca grunted with pain as an touched the wound, and gasped with relief as the wound healed. " Thank you... Thanks so much." He looked at the wound, and noticed the blood smeared on the leg of his pants, "Eww I need to clean that.."
"If you take them off, I can get rid of the stains..." Sephora sad grabbing her staff. Her cleaning spells were pretty much the only we laundry got done in their home.
Seneca blushed, "Unlike some people I'm not gonna take my pants off in front of a lady." he said referring to the immodest paladin.

"It's okay. I-I've been on campaigns with some of the men before." Miri said, standing up and scraping blood off of her hands onto her thighs before she hiked up the front of her dress slightly and jumped over some of the traps carefully, until she made her way over to Sephora. "I've... seen a man's... you know... before."
"It looked angry." She said, landing in front of Sephora, smiling. She cupped the girl around the bicep, squeezing gently. "You sure?"

"Fine..." Seneca grumbled, taking his pants off and throwing them at his sister, "Be quick about it." he blushed as he stood there awkwardly, with only his covering on.
She nodded and quickly began doing a spell on the pants, the blood disappearing. "I...I'm fine Miri, don't worry."

"Women would claw each-other's eyes out for a body shape like yours, Seneca." Miri said, smiling and letting the man hear the humor in her voice. She cast her intelligent eyes at him, giving him a playful laugh before she turned back to Sephora. "Too much?"
"I... just want you to know that I'm here, alright." She continued. "Don't let that Paladin get to you."

Seneca blushed, "I...I cant help it. We grew up poor, we didn't have the money to get fat."
"Stop being so sensitive..." Sephora said rolling her eyes and throwing his pants back, "Here."
She turned to Miri, "Thanks. We'll be here for you too if you need us."

"I'm kidding, Seneca." She apologized, smiling at the boy as she hiked up her skirt once more and hopped over the traps, landing safely where she started, dusting herself off. "Don't be so embarrassed. You look good."
"It's... okay." Miri continued, looking at the group. "I'm... not really going to get on that man's side at any point. I-I'm making food, if any of you want some."

"Uhh...thanks," he said as he quickly pulled his o clean pants up, " You look good too, by the way."
" I'd love some food. I can help you if you want." Sephora said.
" I'd help too but I don't know how to cook." Seneca added, "But I wouldn't mind some food. I better be started on that watch so that Kitter doesn't shove my cock up my ass or whatever it was he threatened me with."

Flushed, Miri nodded. She curled one strand of hair over her ear, pulling some leaves and dirt from her dress as she ushered the others over. Sure, it was... rather cute, teenage back and forth, but still. It was nice to be complimented every once and awhile.
"You spit or swallow? Show us your tits." Wasn't a compliment. Being in a male dominated environment, she'd been used to it all. Some tried to treat her nicely, parade her around, hoping for something. Once they realized she was 'devout', that flew out the window.
"It's alright. I-... I'm just making soup. Maybe some bread." She started, leading them over to the central fire, which Kitter had set up. He was sitting close to it, blade resting across his thighs. He was scraping a whetstone across the edge affectionately. "It's... just water and carrots, pretty much. We have to conserve our supplies for the journey."

Sephora watched Miri's reaction, " I think she likes you..." she muttered to Seneca.
"She barely knows me." Seneca said, "Sides why would an elf be attracted to me?"
The twins followed the girl to the fire and began warmin themselves by it, " I'm fine with just carrots." Seneca said, "I'm used to soup with not much flavor."
