Jon
***THIS INTERACTION HAPPENED A FEW WEEKS AFTER MYRA AND SELENA MET.***

```It all happened by the woodlands.```

***The forest was once again peaceful to the eyes of newcomers, the wildlife and nature were vibrant and alive. Nothing could seem to interrupt this little paradise.***

***Even if blood was spilled, everything seemed normal. A huntress doing her duty, even if there was pity for the animal.***
Rose
***She removed a bamboo arrow from the groosling's chest, sighing.***
"And that's the dinner for tonight. Perfect!"
Christopher
**It was getting darker, and soon the real hunt would begin**
Rose
"Father's gonna be happy about this one, stuffed groosling with so fresh cranberry juice... Oop, I'm already drooling-"
***She took the bird over the shoulder, noticing the moon beginning to creep upon the sky. With a finger snap, she made some light.***
"That's better."
Christopher
**Eventually the forest gave way to the sounds of the forest and her trek eventually came into the encounter of several snares**
Rose
***She started making her path to where she always went, her father's cabin right at the border between the town and the woodlands. It was a path she always walked by.***
"Midnight, in a forest, such a pretty sighttt..."
***She started humming random Melodie's to herself.***
Christopher
**She continued the trek until slowly the forest gave way to silence, only her melody echoing through**
Rose
***Her amethyst eyes glowed like gemstones in the night of the forest, carrying the bird with her. Some of its blood spilled and stained her shirt, yet she didn't care.***
Christopher
**She soon came across a huge gash across one of the large trees; the cut was clean... Too clean... Even for weapon it was seemed... Unnatural**
Rose
"And won't you come to the hanging tree— Huh?"
***She saw the scarring on the tree, in doubt of what happened.***
"..What happened here-"

***She passed her hand on the tree, the cut suddenly disappeared. Mid that, her shirt started glowing...? No... Her back.***
"There we go."
Christopher
**There was noise, up ahead a raven began cawing**
Rose
"Huh— Why would a bird be doing that... Unless something scared it off-"
Christopher
**It wasn't long before more came along, cawing**
Rose
"...Something happened-"
***She took out her knife, only in case of danger ahead.***
Christopher
**As she walked she felt warm liquid drip onto her shoulders**
Rose
"What the fuck-?"
***She dropped the groosling on the floor, passing her hand on her shoulder.***

"...Blood—"
***She held the knife up, having the light on her hand shine brighter***
Christopher
**Her gaze came to a sight all too familiar: a vampire; though this one was missing an entire arm, desperation sang in his read eyes**
Rose
"What the fuck..-?"
***She took steps backwards, shocked from the weird encounter.***
Christopher
**The vampire jumped her, still bleeding profusely, his tongue had been cut, unable to speak**
Rose
"WHAT THE F—"
***She fell harshly to the floor, grabbing the knife and placing it near the vampire's neck.***
"YOU BETTER NOT MAKE *ANY* MOVES, ELSE I AM CUTTING THAT THROAT UP."
Christopher
**It grabs her knife hand and begin to pin her down; they felt a tremor in the ground and the ravens above them began screaming**
Rose
***She attempted to twist her hands away from their grasp, still trying to keep herself focused.***
"GET OFF OF ME YOU FREAK-"
Christopher
**With another twist she broke free as the ravens took off into flight, the sound of snapping twigs echoing in the darkness off to the side**
Rose
***She slithered down, managing to break free from the pin. Standing back up, she was weaponless... Or so you thought.***
"You better get your thirsty-ass out of my sight, else you're going to fight fire with fire right now."
Christopher
**Light began to approach from the distance, the sound of fire, and wind began to rush pash them towards the flame; the vampire stood there, debating whether to chance its next meal or flee from the intruder**
Rose
"...You wanna fight? You want to bite this neck? THEN COME GET IT IF YOU CAN, YOU CUNT."
***She sprinted towards them, grasping on a tree to jump on them while having a light formed at the palm of her hand. She slapped the vampire, making a light explosion right on their face.***

~~she's a real one~~
Christopher
**The vampire collided into the trees as the air got hot behind her... Really hot**
Rose
***She dusted her hands, little sparks fell off as she sighed***
"Good riddance..."
***The warm sensation behind her then was noticed; she turned her head around.***
Christopher
**She gazed to a tall black knighted figure with 6 feathered, draconic like wings gushing flames out like bellows, it wore a mask to cover its eyes inlaid with a clearly demonic symbol, its pale face marked in red tattoos, it heild a large korean dadao greatsword in its hands... And it was coming right at her**
Rose
***Her head tilted to the side, doubting who they were.***
"...Sir? Hello?"
Jessica
**He held his greatsword steadly and began to swing at the bugger that had nicked his wings**
Thomas
~~she's gonna die if she doesn't move out of the way, that sword weighs over 300 lbs~~
Paula
[[OH- there were no indications of a fight LMAO- or at least that I didn't notice sorry-
Rose
"Uh.."
***She began taking steps back, soon enough she was sprinting away***
<<whO THE FUCK- WHAT THE SHIT IS HAPPENING TODAY?!>>

[[ when in <<>it's thoughts btw
Jessica
**He swings cutting through the tree and the vampire, and it begins to fall amdist its cries**
Rose
***...Yeah, at this point she was saying goodbye to her own life.***
***But she continued running, good thing she has speed—***
Jessica
**Blasted up above the trees before blazing off**
Rose
"BOY WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU—"
***She grasped on a tree, gaining impulse to make an aerial turn, landing a few feet where she walked first on.***
"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?! SPEAK UP!"
Jessica
**Descended into the ground as a red comet, sending a tremor in the ground near her before ascending and resuming the chase**
Rose
***She felt herself knock right behind a tree from the impact, panting from the sprints she had to do. She was tired, there were no escapes.***
"...W-Who are you- Why do you want to fight me-"
Jessica
**Continued to give chase the woman down, slamming down for another strike**
Rose
***The impact made her lose her balance and fall to the ground. She sat up against the tree, already accepting her fate.***
"Y-You're a worthy opponent, I- I got it already..."
Jessica
**He landed again, this time with much less forward, the image of blazing wings lighting of the night in hellish fury** This isn't a fight, merely a hunt **He began to walk towards her, sword sheated behind his back**
Rose
"...You're making me ashamed of my own existence just for sitting down like this-"
***She sighed, giving in.***
"What do you want..."
Jessica
The same thing any vampire wants **He stood over her as his wings furled, giving the illusion of a deep cloak** As to any fox to a rabbit or dragon to an elephant
Rose
"...So you want to eat me-?"
***She was half joking.***
Jessica
If i were to more embrace my demonic heritage yes, but people don't make good cuisine; nay I aim to drink you as it is my nature to do so, nothing more
Rose
"...Can we make a deal upon that. It would be embarrassing to my reputation to walk about bitten by a vampire."

"I'll give you some of my blood, but you need to fuck off right away."
Jessica
Alright, fair enough; warning, most vampire bites are pleasurable, at worse they're numbing... I lack such strong traits, this WILL hurt
Rose
"Don't worry, I hurt myself a lot of times, I'm not a baby."
***She picked up her obsidian knife, cutting her wrist, blood dripping from it.***
"Go ahead..."
Jessica
Oh that's not going to be enough; dont move lest you make me bust one of your arteries and then you WILL die of blood loss **Pins her to the tree by the neck before opening a maw of demonic sharp teeth with pronoucned fangs and bites into arm, and begins to drink; there is no pleasure, no numbness, just a sickening drain**
Rose
"It's this or nothi—"
***She couldn't even finish the sentence as his hand wrapped her neck, feeling the sharp teeth on her arm. She didn't have any reactions whatsoever from the shameful feeling she had on herself.***
Jessica
**He wasn't being gentle at all, but he wasn't being overtly brutal towards her either; he held her still as he drank**
Rose
***Even if she didn't say a word or moved, her eyes started watering up... It was not because of the pain.***
***Soon enough she felt her energy drain away, passing out slowly.***
Jessica
**Feeling her go limp he stopped; any more would kill her; he took a look at her as she fell into his arms; she was beautiful and her body was toned clearly been in several scraps*** Well, might as well... You'll die here if I leave you to your own devices **He looks to the gossling, picking both up, and blasted off to camp**
Rose
***Well guess she just got kidnapped <3***
Christopher
**Eventually she came to, she was in a bed, there was food at a stand next to her, she was in simple bed garb however**
Rose
***She began to slowly wake up, rubbing her eyes.***
"W.. Where am I—"

***...Oh.***
***She began to panic immediately.***
Christopher
**She heard talking outside the tent, but she was otherwise alone**
Rose
***Poor woman has a fear of unknown places. Too bad :)***

***She sat up, hugging her knees as she saw the cut on her wrist.***
"N-No I— I'm a fucking shame for the team, I can't do this anymore—"
Christopher
**At the sound of footsteps, a young woman entered the tent, then stopped as she gazed upon Selena**
Vickie
I... Oh you're awake; Father will be relieved
Rose
"...Get the fuck away from me else I am slicing your goddamn neck-"
***She grasped the bedsheets with anger.***
Vickie
Seems a very poor way of acknowledging mercy
Rose
"You want me to fucking do it or what?! Shut the fuck up, I don't want to be here anymore!"
***She was... Shaking.***
Vickie
Yelling at a young woman isn't going to solve anything, and I am more than capable of defending myself, just as yourself; don't burn your bridges before you even laid the foundation yet
Rose
"D-Do you think I care right now-?! Can't you fucking freaks give me a break already?! I'm tired of this crap, I just want to live my life and go home!"
Vickie
And how is shutting down going to get you home? A hunter examines their surroudings and terrain before making their mark; you should start there **She sets down a bottle of water and a set of armor** I wont push you though Im not one to violate privacy; when you are ready the Raven Knights are poised to help you get home, provided you are willing to cooperate

**She turned and left**
Rose
***She stayed quiet during the whole monologue, sighing as she rested her head on top of her knees, hyperventilating... Perhaps sobbing.***
***It was a shame for her people to be the one hunted by the enemy, now kidnapped by them, needing to listen to them.***
***It was embarrassing. She didn't even want to do anything. Her world just seemed to... Slowly fall apart?***
Jessica
**He began to approach and stopped at the tent** Permission to enter?
Rose
"...Fuck off already-"
***Her voice sounded trembly.***
Jessica
You realize I could have just killed you outright, or worse just left you to die yourself?
Rose
"It's a shame for myself to be alive, I'd rather have died on the battlefield than know I was spared by the enemy. Now fuck off."
Jessica
Would your family say the same thing?
Rose
"Hah, as if I were to tell you about my personal life. I don't want to talk to any likes of your type."
Jessica
You didn't answer my question, which I take as a deflectino because you got the point I was making at
Rose
"Oh please, I would've rather die... My father and my sister would be sad, but it is life, you life and you die, suddenly or not. You're just going to make me ashamed of being alive."
Jessica
What would I gain from doing that?
Rose
"I don't know... A title, because you killed a famous huntress? Or more blood? Engane into cannibalism? Keep my head?"
Jessica
Titles are meaningless here, as is fame; people do not supply enough blood to be sustainable long term, bigger game is necessary, only usuing humanoids for appease evolutionary behavior; don't eat people for the same reason; your head would decompose, ill suited for a trophy
Rose
"Oh shut the fuck up already... You're tryna be kind with me or some shit?"
Jessica
That is precisely what I'm trying to do
Rose
"I don't want your kindness, that will only make me even worthless."
Jessica
You are only as worthless as you let yourself be, mind, body, and spirit
Rose
"...Did you just agree with me then-?"
Jessica
If that's what you want to interpret it, sure; but I believe you have more fight in you, i see a hunter
Rose
"...I legit just lost to the enemy and was spared— That is a shame to my title, and if I walked around bitten on the neck, that would even be more shameful."
Jessica
Then become stronger and move past it, if you feel shamed, then you work to regain your honor; a predator does not succumb to their fate, they go down with tooth and claw
Rose
"...You talk big as if you were such a top dog, someone who has no weaknesses between people."
Jessica
It is folly to think of yourself as the apex, there is always one above you... I just haven't found them yet until then I have responsiblities to this camp and those who choose to live here, for the duration of your stay... That includes you
Rose
"Seriously I—"
***She stood up, bursting out the tent.***
"I'm tired of people just being super nice and shit to get what they want, it's always like that, and I would've rather die than be kept alive by the enemy, it's a shame to be spared by my team's name!"
Jessica
**He smiled** Theres the fight **He gazed into her eyes** Can't fight if your dead, eat, drink, bathe, and then put your armor on, prove me wrong; there is little motivator greater than spite **He chuckled than began laughing and walked off confidently**
Rose
"...OH COME ON FUCK YOU, YOU TOPDOG JACKASS-"
***She stood there, just refining internally.***
Jessica
**He waved as he walked away** Then work hard enough to put me back on the bottom, chop chop
Rose
"BUT I DON'T LI— ...That goddamn puto madre."
Thomas
~~Selena pouting cutely~~
Rose
***She got back inside the tent and dram some water, cleaning her mouth with an angry expression.***
"Who he think he is, for fuck's sake... I have a reputation..."
Christopher
**As she took care of herself she noticed the armor was her old set but has been greatly enhanced with materials she didn't recongnize, though none of its aesthetic or function had been sacrificed**
Paula
[[Sorry I didnt answer earlier, was answering some stuff
Rose
"Huh.."
***She stood up looking at her protection armor.***
"Did he do this-? ...Come on, why-"
Christopher
**It was just better, at least it definitely looked like it did**
Rose
***She started putting on the armor, it was way more flexible and seemed to be hard as stone outside.***
"Not bad... Only a professional blacksmith could do this-"
Christopher
**The armor set with thicker but no mobility was lost, it was a lot comfier as well**
Rose
***She pulled her leg over her head, only to test if it was actually that flexible. It worked.***
"WOAH- Okay, this is some good quality!"
Christopher
**It was clearly had customed adjustments, as the armor clinged to her figure like a second skin**
Rose
"It sure is a bit more attached to my body... Wait did they do this on purpose—"
Christopher
**She finished, noticing the mirror tucked in the corner**
Rose
"Huh? What's this.."
***She noticed the mirror.***
Christopher
**The mirror showed her in her armor, and she couldn't deny she looked damn good in it, some minor adjustments with the belts was needed, but her ass looked really good**
Rose
"...G-Goddamn-"
***She even felt slightly flabbergasted with the view***
"I was always like this-? Geez-"

***She brushed it off, going outside the tent, a bit distrusted of what she could find.***
Christopher
**She got looks, nothing derogatory, just general nods of acknowledgement; the people of camp were varied, angels, demons, faunus, the whole works**
Rose
"...Where the hell am I-"
***She searched inside her bags together of her armor for her compass.***
"Where did I put it..."
Christopher
**It was still in there, nothing had been stolen, in fact there were a lot more tools and provisions then she had left home with**
Rose
"There we go... Should head south-east for home."
Jessica
**Looked over from a map, nodding to those around him** Ah, you came
Rose
"Uhh... Yeah. I did. Thanks for the armor fix, I guess-"
Jessica
Of course, we aim to help a hunter in need **He looks her over** Everything fit alright?
Rose
"...Mhm, a bit too much as well, but it's good."
Jessica
Too well, huh? You'll get used to the bigger evade window soon enough, now, let's us discuss your future
Rose
"My... Future? What the hell do you mean with that?"
Jessica
I mean we need to work on getting you home, and that starts with telling you where you are, cuz I for sure as shit have no clue where you came from
Rose
***Her face neutralizes itself, with a drop of annoyance, showing him the compass.***
"South-east from here, Celestia's border."
Jessica
That's the big city near here, right? Can't remember names, they all blend in together

K, gimme a bit to prepare my own stuff and we'll head out immediately
Rose
"Right-"
***She kept looking around the area, a bit uncomfortable.***
Jessica
Whats wrong **He walked over and began taking things in and out of a backpack**
Rose
"Uhh... I don't really like this place, I'll be honest about that-"
Jessica
Not into the outdoors?
Rose
"Not that really... Uh- Waking up somewhere you don't know as an indirect hostage is really not the best thing ever, right?"
Jessica
Hostage? How do you figure that?
Rose
"I mean, you are... Hosting me in your area."
Jessica
Cuz I wasn't about to let you die on me after drinking you
Rose
"Wowww so the tough topdog has a soft spot for people."
Jessica
**Grumbling then crosses his arms looking away** Its just debt collection, nothing more
Rose
"Come on, you could've left me to rot in the forest, a vampire who killed a well-known hunter, that should've been remembered by all, huh?"
Jessica
**He turned to look at her, she was incredibly beautiful** Weren't you telling me to fix off half an hour ago?
Rose
"Huh? I mean like, yeah, for you to leave but— Agh, nevermind."
Jessica
Exactly, cmon **Slips pack over shoulder** Lead the way
Rose
"You're coming with me?"
Jessica
Yes, it is I who got you into this predicament therefore it shall be I who gets you out... Called responsiblity
Rose
"Yeah yeah, got it..."
***She began following the compass out of the camp.***
Jessica
**He stayed a few paces behind; enjoying the view as their trek began**
Rose
***She continued to follow the compass' arrow, humming the same melody she always did.***
Jessica
So is it just vampires?
Rose
***She groaned lightly, stopping the hums.***
"Yes."
Jessica
I see **He looked to her in contemplation**
Rose
"Yeah... You do have eyes-"
Paula
[[THATS MY LINE HEHAHA
Jessica
You thought I didnt?
Rose
"I dunno, maybe you didn't actually."
Jessica
Nah, i simply grew up learning to use my other senses before my i began to use my vision, as a result im not as proficient with it and observe with other senses out of habit
Rose
"Oh really? Well, that's a funfact for the... Animals out there in the forest."
Jessica
I guess **He looked forward, feeling the wind across his air and the vibrations around him, most prominently Selena's strides**
Rose
***She looked up at the sun, sighing.***
"Time's passing so slowly..."
Jessica
**He nodded but said nothing lettijg her vibe with her surroundings**
Rose
***She continued walking for some good minutes, until her stomach growled.***
"Shit..."
***She let out a sigh.***
"You hungry? I can find something quick for us."
Jessica
Do you want me to help or would like to go at this alone?
Rose
***She looked around until she saw a fruit tree.***
"...I got it."
***She analyzed the tree carefully, until taking a few steps back, pulling out her knife and sprinting towards it. Her knife carved the tree, holding herself to the trunk. Her other hand grasped a branch, swinging onto it. Now sat on it, she deattached what seemed to be jackfruit.***
"HEY! There's fruits growing here!"
Jessica
**He followed taking note and of the more joyous undertone her voice had taken** Excellent
Rose
"Think fast!"
***She threw the jackfruit at him, climbing down as she pulled out her knife from the tree, pssing her hand on the cut and patching it up.***
Jessica
**He caught it with a nod, tossing it around casually**
Rose
"This should do it for both of us. You wanna cut it open?"
Jessica
**He took out his knife and cut into both of them slicing and peeling effortlessly**
Rose
"Good, wonder how this tastes like.."
***She grabbed some of the fruit meat, chewing on it.***
"It's- It's like... Pineapple with a hint or oranges and bananas-"
Jessica
**He followed suit** Not bad, would be better cooked but that's most things tbf
Rose
"If we make a bonefire right now, it might attract possible unwanted guests-"
Jessica
True but I'm sure we could handle it
Rose
"I meaaannn... According to society, it's the most well-known vampire hunter, and... I don't know who you are, but you're a topdog."
Paula
[[Forever nicknamed as topdog vampire
Jessica
You make me sound like a top when you say it like that
Rose
"...What— *But it's about status, what else would it be-*"
Jessica
Isnt that usually the assumption tho? Status = top?
Rose
"No if I'm calling you that it's because you have skill and power, what else would you associate that with-"
Jessica
**Blinks** ...Being on top as opposed to a switch or bottom?
Rose
***She stopped, dead-looking his eyes for a second as she put her hand on top of her eyes.***
"...You're shitting with me right now-"
Jessica
If I offended i did not mean to
Thomas
~~please tell me she's blushing~~
Rose
"No- No. I am not offended. You're just- Unbelivable."
Jessica
Would you believe me if I said that I get that alot?
Rose
"Get the 'unbelivable' comment or the 'top' thing."

"Because of your abilities or your comments."

"Now *That* Is way more unbelivable. Okay, let's go, we can't waste any more time."
***She got out the compass again and started walking***
Jessica
**He followed, letting her vibrations lead him forward**
Rose
"I think we're getting closer, it's pointing more towards the south now."
Jessica
**He nods, looking to the horizon, it will get cold soon, do you want to continue?**
Rose
***She still continued, she didn't care much about temperature drops or scorching suns, she... Just wanted to head home.***

"...Wait a minute— Did I fucking forget the groosling I hunted. OH MY GOD COME ONNNN-"
Jessica
**Puts a hand on her shoulder** Relax, we will hunt a replacement soon before arriving into the town
Rose
***She immediately put her hand on her neck out of impulse, also as it was muscle memory.***
"R-Right."
Jessica
**He didn't move to have her let go, but he outstretched his wings and wrapped her in a gentle hug; he recognized her emotion from his daughters**
Rose
"...What are you doing-"
Jessica
You scare and show aggression easily... Ive seen before in my daughters, I... I learned that when people get like that, sometimes a simple embrace is enough to calm their nerves and bring clarity
Rose
"Daughters? Wait wait I— You're trying to comfort me becuase you saw that I acted like your daughters?"
Jessica
I recognized the behavior and acted in response, sometimes they get discourage and frustrated, their minds fogs, when that happens, i spend some time to calm them down
Rose
"...And you're a father-"
Jessica
It just sort of happens occassionally... I don't skirt on my responsibilities... Ive made too many orphans in my day... Need to set things right for once
Rose
"...Wait so you adopted them or—"
Jessica
They are biological, not opposed to adoption but i haven't run into that recently
Rose
"...OH- OH. I SEE-"
Jessica
**He continues to hug her**
Rose
"Thaaat's... Haha... That's crazyyy-"
Jessica
**He watched her, waiting patiently**
Rose
"S-So uh... You wanna continue hugging or-"

"Yeah uhm-"
***She stepped out of the hug and continued walking, a bit embarrassed.***
Jessica
**He followed her, noticing that she was keeping a closer distance to him but didn't comment**
Rose
"We should be arriving at Celestia soon..."
Jessica
Then we should wait a day so we can have time to hunt your replacement
Rose
"So you're saying for us to spend the night here?"
Jessica
That would be wise so we don't arrive empty handed; if we're that close we'll only have to worry about wildlife
Rose
"Sounds about right... Sure then-"
Jessica
Mark the spot and i will assist
Rose
"I think there's a small stream nearby, so we should be good as well for water.. We have food too and the town is right near. Should be good here."
Jessica
Right, I'll help light the fire once its ready **He set his stuff down and began to prepare a stone circel**
Rose
"Right.."
***She saw some wood and dstick laying around, gathering them for the fire.***
"Here."
Jessica
**His armor clacked as slits began to open across his chest and wind began to rush into his chest before the sound of flame jetisoned out of one of his wings could be heard**
Rose
"..Damn alright thennnn-"
***She sat down by a tree, watching the fire blaze.***
Jessica
Have to be careful here, can easily set this place alight if im careless
Rose
"Yeah, 'cause it's in the middle of the woods..."
Jessica
Exactly **He kept his wings open to block the wind from chilling across her armor**
Rose
***She gazed to the sky, watching the constellations and the shining moon.***
***After a bit of time, she fell asleep.***
Jessica
**He watched over her, he could feel the pain piercing her heart, unsure of what the right thing was to do**
Frederick
***SOME HOURS PASSED, THE SUN WAS UP***
Rose
***She was still asleep, when a pinecone fell on her head.***
"WHAT THE SHIT WHO— Oh. Seriously-"
Jessica
**He looked up** You alright?
Paula
[[nah I'm good just a nut fell on my head be like
Rose
"Yeah I'm alright... This fell on my head."
***She held the pinecone.***
Jessica
**Hee nodded** Lemme know when you're ready
Rose
"Born ready, going ready."
***She jolted up, grabbing her things.***
"Did you sleep?"
Jessica
I don't need to sleep unless I've taken a lot of damage to my body

Not as fun as it might sound
Rose
"Oh- Alright.. Let's go then!"
***She took out her compass and started walking again***
Jessica
**He follows, listening to the sounds of the woods**
Rose
***She kept on humming the same melody, until the sound of some birds echoed.***
"...Right-"

***She took a few seconds to hear from where the sound came from, grabbing the bow she was carrying and aiming up. Once an arrow was shot, a grouse bird immediately fell to the floor.***
"At least I'm not going empty-handed back to father's."
Jessica
Wait, crouch **He crouches holding her hand**
Rose
"Huh wh—"
***She went down, a bit confused.***
"*Why are you holding my hand-*"
Jessica
**He waited patiently until the thundering tremors of something large began to approach**
Rose
"*What the fuck is going on-?!*"
***It was all a whisper.***
Jessica
Nature, stay still and observe

**He waited as coming from out of wilderness was a large bipedal lizard, covered in scales and feathers**
Rose
"*Oh my god what is that- Oh my god.. WhAT IS THAT-*"
Jessica
That would be a dinosaur, in the old languages, it translates to "Terrible wyvern"; careful it can breath fire
Rose
"*What the shit... I spent all my life in the woods and I never seen one of those fellas-*"
Jessica
They don't venture close to the civilization; easily hunted if they get close, this one smells your kill **He slowly began to unsheathe a beautiful blacksteel, bloodstained odachi**
Rose
"*Wait you're gonna attack it-?*"
Jessica
I am a hunter, I hunt things **He looked to her** Ready for your first hunt?
Rose
"*...I usually just hunt small birds or prey animals, the little guy must be starving-*"
Jessica
Yep, and so close to the vista you should be able to salvage much of its body
Rose
"*...But we don't need food right now-*"
Jessica
There are more practical uses than just food... But I will say it makes for a really good brisket
Rose
"*Yeah but I only hunt if there's people starving!*"
Jessica
**Nods** Just like a hunter; its going to eat your kill regardless so, trade for a trade
Rose
***She sighed.***
"*...What do you wanna do.*"
Jessica
Use your bow to aim for its nose to prevent it intaking oxygen for its fire; I will keep its attention while you widdle it down
Rose
"...You think I don't know what to do?"
***She aimed her bow directly at the creature, shooting a triple arrow at both eyes and the nose, another followed right in the chest.***
"Sure I like being told what to do, but when I'm hunting, it's my business."
Jessica
**A wicked smile smeared across his face and he walked in, the large dinosaur hissing at the two of them. Sword drawn**
Rose
"...Go on, topdog. What you waiting for?"
Jessica
**He began to swing at its legs, grabbing its attention** Over here buddy, focus on me
Rose
***She stood there, rolling her eyes as he did this own thing***
Jessica
**He slowly began to force it back, and face away from her**
Rose
"You're gonna keep on torturing it while it's suffering with the arrows-?"
Jessica
This is your show, don't miss **He waited and primed his blade**
Rose
"...Say what now —"
Jessica
Windows slipping away, cmon gal
Rose
"Oh my god, you absolute idiot..."
***She took another arrow and shot the creature straight through the head***
Jessica
**He stopped as the creature hissed and collapsed at her feet, felled** ...Well then **He sheathed his blade and looked away crossing him arms** Well done
Rose
"Hearing it hiss and cry out of pain makes my gut twist."
***She walked up to the now deceased creature***
"What do we do with it?"
Jessica
We cover it and bring a cart over to set down it's carvings
Rose
"...You know what- You take care of the creature, I have my bird and that's enough."

"Since the city's close, you want me to continue the path alone?"
Jessica
**Began covering the beast in branches** Nah nah, I can finish the job, I'm no quitter **Gets up** Cmon let's go
Rose
"You better get this creature later."
***She continued walking towards the city***
Jessica
I will, nothing to waste **He follows her**

**Looks at her, then thinks better of speaking**
Rose
***She proceeded to him her melody, pacing her steps at a normal-to-fast range.***
Jessica
**He followed, trailing a bit as the city wall came into view**
Rose
"Fucking finally we're here... Wooh, that sure was tiring."
Paula
[[notifications failed me.
Rose
"So... Youre gonna head back now?"
Jessica
You think you can the rest of the trek home solo?

Then, yes, here is where we part ways
Rose
"Thank god, because this was humiliating for me."
***She sighed with a smile, beginning to enter the city.***
"If we meet again, pretend you don't know me at all. Oh! And by the way,"

***She quickly grabbed her bow and shot an arrow directly to his mouth.***
"You're too kind with your prey, but if you leave them alive, they'll make *You* The prey after. Farewell, topdog!"
***And she soon disappeared within the buildings.***
Jessica
**He gags and grabs the arrow, pulling it out of his mouth**
Jon
***The arrow didn't seem to have anything special, it was just a bamboo arrow with an iron point.***
