Nathan
**He gets up out of his hospital bed**
**He has a lot of things on his mind this time around in the hospital, he certainly is more calmed than the last time, but then again, last time Knox came in and aggravated him. He's certainly wondering how an encounter with Raven will go, when he has to tell her he finally killed Lue, but she also has to witness him in pain and weak like this. He also wants to go visit his son, how old must he be now? 7? No, 8, he's 8.**

**Regardless, Qaysar goes outside, once again breaking instructions from his doctor and his nurse. He just can't help it, he wants to feel like he's in control of one thing, like he isn't chained down to rules. This time around, he chooses to walk through the forest surrounding Kahlo rather than in the inner city.**

*Chloe hangs upside down in a tree as usual, letting her arms hang free as she looks around for her next victim. Spotting a small bunny dart across a puddle, she flashes a fangy, evil grin and poofs(/transforms) into a bat. Flying over on top of the bunny, she poofs back into her vampire form and lands, grabbing the bunny. "Aha!-" She exclaims, looking down at the helpless bunny as she suddenly senses someone. She perks up from her crouching position, looking around.*

*Getting up, Chloe grumbles as she tosses the fearing bunny to the side and it quickly runs away. She begins walking through the forest, peeking around trees to try and find where the smell is coming from.*
Nathan
**He can be heard in the distance, singing and whistling, it was neither cheery nor sad, but rather calm, it didn't seem to be a recognizable song of any sorts**

**He suddenly stops, in fear that these woods may be full of potential enemies, after all, he's pretty good at fishing out others, perhaps he's not all useless right now despite his extensive injuries.**

**He continues on walking, this time he didn't sing anything, he simply whistled at a very low volume, until he stops once again to kneel down to a bunny that seemed injured, he picked it up gently and brushed off any soil and injuries it may have had, and took a bandage or two off his left arm to place around the bunny's left leg,**

**Now he was certain someone was here recently.**
Joseph
*Not too far away, Chloe now sits in a tree perked on a branch in a frog-sitting position. "A human..? I haven't seen one of those out here in forever.." Slight excitement creeps into her tone as she watches him pick up the bunny. "Looks like we've got a goody two shoes.. Hm..?" She giggles, watching him from afar.*
Angela
|| goody two shoes, boy is she in for a surprise 😭
Nathan
**He places down the bunny, and continues walking, this time scouting the area for anyone who might be nearby**

**He approaches the tree that Chloe is under, but as he was about to check around, he experienced an immense amount of leg pain, maybe he should've skipped his walk today. He slightly trips down, so he gently lets himself down to take a look at his leg wounds**
Angela
|| now is prob when chloe jumps him 😭
Joseph
*She looks down at him, seeing him look at the injuries on his leg. She giggles in amusement, grinning. "Looks like this one can't run~" She says to herself before jumping down, landing Infront of him. (in a spider man type stance lmao)*

"Hello, human! What's wrong with your leg?" She grins, standing up. She puts her hands on her hips as she leans forward. She decided to tease the human a bit for amusement.*
Nathan
**He doesn't look that surprised, he certainly wasn't scared. He guessed either she was gonna rob him, at which point he really has nothing to offer her on him, or she was gonna mess with him. If she were to kill him, she would've already done it. Of course she could mess with him then kill him considering his condition, but Qaysar believes he can escape barely enough and live, considering he's been through worse**

Nothing much, just got a couple of slashes through it by a sword then shot a couple of times.
**He pauses for a second, then has a look of curiosity**
You hurt that bunny back there?
Joseph
*His lack of fear humbled Chloe. She blinks a few times before sighing. "Sounds like you've been through some stuff.." She mutters, a bit annoyed. "That bunny? Yes.. So what.." She murmurs, rolling her eyes.*°

Chloe pov:

*Who does this human think he is? How ignorant! He should be cowering in fear! Ugh- stupid human.. Stupid bunny... And why does he look like he just came from an insane asylum? Maybe it's not me, he's just crazy..*
Nathan
**He's slightly confused at how she seems to have no idea about any previous events in Kahlo**
You really don't know do you? 

**He sighs**
My insane cousin got out of- **He catches himself, he can't let the rumours of his prison be confirmed true, and if he did, he can't affirm it by saying he made it**
He resurfaced... And, well, he tortured me for a couple of weeks before he brought my daughter and slaughtered her, and I had to finally fight him to the death when I was supposed to be in recovery from his torture. 

**He pauses, still annoyed by her harm towards that bunny**
Why harm such an innocent creature? 

**Who is this lady, and why is she even out here in the woods, more importantly why did she seem to expect him to be scared of her? Asides that harming a neutral species, Qaysar seems to think she's completely harmless**
Joseph
*Chloe clenches her teeth, staring down at him while starting to get annoyed. "Well that sucks for you." She says blandly, scoffing at his next question. "It's life! Deal with it! You seem to be more worried about a useless bunny than your crazy cousin.. I could be killing you right now, what is your deal!?" She raises her voice a little, angered by this humans confidence.*
Nathan
**He almost laughs a little**
Well, if you were out to kill me, you would've done that already, you likely wouldn't have tried revealing your location and have just killed me the first chance you got. Either that, or you're a very lousy murderer. 
I can assume you aren't that lousy because you were able to detect me from a distance, leaving the two options of either you wanting to mug me, at which point I would tell you I have no gold or anything of value on me, or you want to mess with me. 

Of course, there's the chance that you want to mess with me then kill me, but that would simply prove how lousy of a murderer you are, because you'd be giving me a fair fighting chance, and while I might be a mere human, I am skilled enough to get out of such a situation. 

**He pauses for a second, as he gets up from the ground, merging his two sickles into his magic cane to stand up properly**
Sure it's life, but what goes around comes around, I assume you wouldn't be much of a fan if someone randomly jumped you and broke your leg then threw you to the side? So maybe don't do that to anyone else with no valid reason, even if it is just a bunny. Maybe that bunny was out finding food for his family and you just destroyed their chance at a decent dinner?

There's no need to raise your voice, unless of course, you know I'm right, which angers you, as I can tell you don't fancy humans, and if a human is right and you're wrong, then that goes against your principles.
Joseph
*Chloe was speechless at his words. She growls, hating being proved wrong. Out of anger she lunges forward. "I'll show you lousy!-" She tackles him to the ground with a grunt, trying to claw at him like a scared cat would as she hisses.*
Carlyn
|| Surprise attack LOL.. SHE KINDA SUCKS at Fighting
Nathan
**He slightly smiles at how mediocre her attack is**
Oh please, don't embarrass yourself like that.
**He splits his cane into his sickles and pushes her backwards off him**
**He slightly screams in pain but manages to move backwards a decent couple of meters, sitting on his knees, as he re-assembles his sickles into his cane to use it to support himself up**

Wow, so you are a lousy murderer. **He slightly laughs, which turns into coughing due to the immense pain he's in**
Man, I told my nurse to give me some more pain medication but she just doesn't listen... Something about me having bad drinking habits that can transfer over into me getting addicted to pain meds.

**He looks at her for a second, reluctant about what he's about to ask**
Hey, you wouldn't happen to have any pain medication on you... Do you?
Joseph
*She growls, jumping back as he pushes her. She crosses her arm, not liking his attitude but respecting his strength. "Pain meds..?" She mutters, staying quiet for a few seconds before groaning in defeat. "Not with me.. But I have some.." She sighs, shaking her head. She lets her arms drop down to her sides as she stares at the man in pain. It looked like it really hurt, this man had to be crazy.*
Nathan
You seem surprised that I did that despite my pain.
If everyone gave up their cause because they were limited by strength or intelligence, or because they were in pain, then no civilization would ever advance. 

**He pauses for a moment, realizing he has no idea who this stranger is**
You're not from Kahlo, are you? Or from around here for a matter of fact.
Either that, or you were living under a rock for the past 3 years and never bothered learning about bounties for, giver take the past 10 years.
Joseph
*Chloe takes offence to his words as he suggested she was living under a rock. She huffs, shaking her head. "I'm Chloe.. I live near the waybron caves.. Not really around here." The way he talked annoyed and intrigued her. She wasn't sure how to feel about this person. ".. Who even are you?"*
Nathan
I go by many names and I do many things... But I'm most commonly known by the name Al-Qaysar. 
**He pauses momentarily, he's never really been asked to describe himself before**
Depending on who you ask, they might say I'm a hero, others would say the opposite.
**He pauses again** ....What exactly do you want to know about me? 

**He was somewhat confused and surprised at his inability to describe himself, unable to determine whether he's good or bad, the one thing that's defined his entire life yet he can't even define it himself**
Joseph
*Well.. How about we start with what your doing here?.." She sees the look of confusion on his face as he seems to zone out. She waves her hand Infront of his face rudely. "Hey! Why are you here? You look like you just came from an insane asylum.. Your cousin going crazy doesn't explain what your doing." She says in a sassy tone, shaking her head.*
Nathan
Oh, uh, I'm supposed to be in that hospital right outside these woods in Kahlo City, but I have a tendency of ignoring rules, and so when I'm supposed to be staying in bed I often go for walks, usually in the inner city but today I decided to go for a walk in the woods for a bit of a trip down memory lane since I'm always traveling between kingdoms through the woods. 

My cousin- **He's struggling for words, the most recent dosage of pain meds he took is slightly waring off**
He, well, he's the reason I'm this injured and hurt. 

**He pauses.** This is like a game, you answer a question, I answer a question... Your turn, if you aren't from around here why are YOU here? And which kingdom do you belong to?
Joseph
*She watches him as he talks.* **Is this guy sane? What does a game have to do with this..** *"Er, I'm here 'cause I can be.. Unlike some people.." She muttered the last part under her breath as she crossed her arms. "I don't know what kingdom I'm from. I grew up in the caves.." She shrugged it off, looking around for a second as if to look for something.*

"Ugh.. It's hard to talk to you when your struggling so much.. I'm pretty sure there's some healing plant around here.. Aloe I think it is..?*
Nathan
**He looks at her as if he just had an epipheny**
Yes how could I forget, they should be around here somewhere **He points off to the right side**
And if I couldn't have been able to be here, then how come I am? I can be here just as much as you can. 
The irony, huh. **He coughs slightly**
You don't know which kingdom you're from, I was born and raised in Kahlo city and yet I've spent more time standing against its rulers and helping the poor elsewhere. You realize it doesn't actually matter what kingdom you're from, and that you don't need to have a specific allegiance to any of them. 
**He laughs slightly**
Boy would von fearborn be angry at me for saying that. 

**NOTE: von fearborn is what Qaysar refers to Knox as, implying he thinks he's scared of most things from birth**
Hong
|| THAT'S HILARIOUS 😭
Angela
|| the day knox and qaysar refer to each other by regular first names is the day yk something serious is up
Hong
|| that's the day all their past enemies come back to life XD
Angela
|| knox when for some reason people he caught and were executed years ago are still alive
