Alice
*She liked the big towel, it was fluffy and warm. While he dried her hair, she reached out a hand to touch his* "The room is warm, so it's alright. Just as well... Thank you for coming back for me" *She'd smile from under the towel before looking for her dry clothes. Wrapping the wet ones in the dry towel, she'd change into her original one.* "Faedon... I do think you should get some sleep. There is only a few hours until dawn.." *Tying the bow on the front, she would walk over to sit on the end of the bed and pat it.* "The night is not a time for humans to be awake... I will be here when you wake.." *She had fed, and she had books so she could not see a reason why she would leave during the night.*
John
*Smiles as she said she was fine as she reached out her hand he moved his to hold onto hers after she was done changing, he had avoided looking at her while she changed.* `"Next time don't change Infront of a man unless you fancy him."` *He would walk with her to the bed and slowly take a seat his stomach grumbling loudly he hadn't eaten at all his stomach gurgles and burped* `"I forgot I was hungry... Is there any food...?"` *He would ask as he lays down on the bed but sits up props himself up with his back against the frame of the bed.*
Alice
*She didn't understand what he was saying... She changed in front of those she trusted most. Her mother, her best friend Vanessa, and Faedon.* "But... You changed in front of me.." *His shirt, unless he had already forgotten.* "Does my body make you uncomfortable?" *She would make adjustments accordingly if that was the case. But as for food, she did remember she had gotten some for him from the festival during the day. Her eyes lit up as she remembered* 

"Yes! I fetched food for you when you weren't feeling well. It might be a lot but, I can go downstairs to get it for you.." *She'd make her way to the door... She hoped no one had eaten it.* "Would you like anything else while I am downstairs?"
John
*Tilts his head to the side he spoke softly in return* `"I changed my shirt Infront of you! I'm a guy! Your a lady! Your not supposed to change your shirt Infront of a male well... Because you know you have... Female parts!"` *He would explain as he looked at her with a pink face as she mentioned for the food he didn't know she went out of her way to get him food* `"Oh no... The food is probably cold by now... Could you ask the Hobbit downstairs if they could make me some beef stew with rice?"` *He asked*
Alice
"I understand.." *Unless she fancied him... Was fancying a man more important that trust? Holding her arm against herself... She would ask him about it when she returned.* "I will go down and ask. Please wait a moment.." *Heading on down, she would ask them to make what he asked for... It would take a while but, of course they would prepare it for her. The food she had brought that was on the table was gone... It must have been eaten. That was good... Better than it being wasted. Once his dinner was prepared, she caught a whiff and just... Couldn't understand the apeal. Same went for blood she supposed.*

"Faedon... May I ask you something?" *Placing the plate on the table, she would take a seat back on the bed.* "Is trust lower in value than taking a fancy to someone?" *To her, it was the other way around.*
John
*Lowered his head and closed his eyes to relax he was tired and he felt himself slowly drifting off to sleep he woke up with a soft huff shaking his head catching himself before he fell out, he had a fun day with Ai he wondered why she took so much fun in playing with his hair* `"Fancy is when someone romantically likes another person. Trust is like I trust you with my life, but it also has it's boundaries, you know. Trust has more value then someone fancying another however it is also about respect for one's body. For me I would not get bare Infront of a female like show my entire body unless I took interest in them. The same should apply you to ai there are some that use trust abuse and break it if you did that around the wrong person or trusted the wrong person they would take advantage of your trust. I wouldn't as to why I'm telling you this. In my religion we value, virtue, and one's body as a temple something not to be shown to everyone for the women at least only to the person she romantically likes other then the obvious family. For me I follow those same principles other then my shirt because you know I don't have female body parts."` 

*He placed his hand behind his head hopping she understood what he meant.*
Alice
*Well, that went against everything that she was raised to understand. She supposed vampires had trust that was much harder to break than humans, as it came with a much more dire penalty.* "I see" *Well, she would not change in front of him anymore, and that was fine. Moving from the bed to the floor, she would lay down on her stomach and open one if the books to the page she was reading before. She would use this time to think over what he had said, and weigh on their differences. 

Romance? Fancy? None of these things were really ideologies she understood nor practiced. She would find out these things during her marital discoveries so they said, but without it... She would forfeit those explanations and be tasked with navigating those things on her own. They didn't seem all too important in the end, maybe she would be alright if she left them in the back of her mind.*
John
*Slowly picked up the bowl of beef stew and rice and began to eat with a happy face making noises while eating such as 'Haauuumpff!' and 'Mmmmmmm' to get her attention as he munched along with his meal with a happy smile* `"You seem reeaaaaaalllly quiet! What's on your mind! I can answer your questions for you I see it on your cute little face you look confused, and like you have questions your afraid to ask."` *He would say raising his spoon and waggling it in the air as he swallowed* 

`"Soooo tell me what questions may you want to ask don't lie to me! Ai"` 'Haaaaumpff *His emerald eyes would wander towards her face with a smile as he took another big bite of the beef and the rice* `"Back to the other thing it's not that I don't want you to change Infront of me I wouldn't mind it seeing how cute you are and stuff but I want you to be weary of others.."` *He had the spoon in his mouth as he was thinking as his hands held the bowl* `"It seems to me that you have been alive for how many years...? And you haven't learned anything...? About the world..?"` *He said this last part in a very kind and soft manner to make sure she knows he means the best at heart.*
Alice
*Every once in a while she would look over at him... And then finally she couldn't help it. Closing her book, she stood to her feet and wandered over. She looked over his shoulder at what he was eating and then to him. Was it really so delicious it waranted such noises.* "I suppose... I would like to try.." *She would carefully take his hand in hers, and guide a small spoonful to her mouth.* "Ahhh om.." *Nope. Nope it was bad. She quickly went to the garbage bin to spit it out. Well, mistakes were made... And lessons were learned. Speaking of lessons* 

"I know a great many things, but I've never left home. We aren't humans you see... We've guidelines and restrictions to follow to ensure our survival. As much as I know about the world, I am limited in experience..." *It was universally accepted that humans were far more safe than vampires. This made it easy for them to travel, become accepted, not be hunted. Yes, a fair many had it very bad but as a species... They would not be the aim of those trying to wipe them out as a collective whole.*

"We have traditions and points in our lives where we will get to go out and venture past our thresholds, knowledge and limitations. If I didn't, I would not be standing here before tou today." *Rocking back and fourth on her heels, she held her hands neatly down behind her back as she explained.*
John
*As she closed her book and she stole a bite of his food he was about to go on a rant about not stealing another's food but he would speak softly in reply to her after she got it out of her system*

 `"Well if your never left home you haven't had many experiences I know this isn't your fault. Your race is disliked by humans. You cannot be out in the sun. However I understand the restrictions that were in place to ensure your survival but now you don't have to worry about that and you have me and I won't let anyone take you from me. You will learn for as long as we travel together I'll make sure to answer any and all questions you may ask. But however I don't know what I am if I am human I am by a very thin thread before my humanity is completely gone."` 

*He would say as he walked sees her rocking back and forth on her heels he finishes his food and gently sets it down beside the bed side table.* `"Come lay down with me and we can continue our talk."` *He slowly slides down and lays down on the bed gently patting the bed beside him*
Alice
*With a nod, she felt they had a little bit more to discuss . Crawling into bed with him, she snuggled against his chest and felt safe, wanted, and happy.* "You have a very distinct smell..." *Lifting her chin, she brazed her nose against his neck and closed her eyes.* "Mm... Yes. You've changed. Do you remember before, when I fed from you? It feels like ages ago... Do you remember what I told you, when you asked me why I chose you?" *Opening her eyes, she looked into his before placing a hand gently on his head.* "The deisre for your blood, the blood of one in despair and darkness, is gone." *That was a very good thing. He had changed a lot since that day... And not just his hair.*
John
*As she came close and snuggles up to his chest he sighed happily closing his eyes he would gently wrap his arms around her and lower his head closer to hers as he bring her closer. She would feel as if she was sitting near a warm fireplace as she layed on his body* `"I can't remember..."` *But as she started to speak to him about why she fed on his blood he looked interested had he changed some much?* `"You also have changed alot from being less daft and less insulting, demeaning and very mean and cold to me to becoming my best friend you would have never thought you would become my best friend did you from the person that was barely alive in your store who you didn't want to take care of you worrying for me when I get hurt and taking care of me."` *He smiles gently nuzzling his nose against hers as his hair gently falls across his face and nose to the left as he was laying down on his left side with her close to him, feeling her hand on his head he felt wanted he enjoyed this didn't want this to end, however as he thought he wasn't so dark anymore but he had a ball of anger growing inside him, a ball of fury and rage directed to those who tried to kill him and still towards nobles and royals and the rich he wouldn't hesitate to kill if he needed but would that still make him fall under dark being? His eyes opened slightly as he Gently held her by her waist and the other arm around her neck and shoulder as he closed his eyes falling asleep as he was exhausted he didn't mean to fall asleep mid conversation but his body after having a warm meal hit the off button.*
Alice
*She gently pet his hair until he fell asleep. Delivering a gentle kiss against his chest right where his heart was.. She'd close her eyes for a small nap.* "You... Are precious to me.." *She'd whisper with a small and delicate smile. Maybe she had changed... She would have to admit, she wasn't as cold to him as she was before. Her view went from food to friend... How odd it was that future events would unravel as they did. They took care of each other, worried about each other, and fought for each other.

The night would pass uneventfully, and the sun would be thwarted by the blankets he had put up. She loved it here... The in keeper was so nice and caring, the people here were welcoming and inviting. For her dream, she would weave a picture of her as a waitress... Helping patrons around the inn. Faedon would be there, protecting them from those who would do them harm. Everyone was happy... Everyone was at peace.*
John
*After hours had passed and the sun would rise until it was around 12pm over 8 hours had passed opening his eyes he yawned softly and rolled on his back with her on his chest his eyes widened he gently placed one of his hands on her soft hair, he would be looking at her cute face* `"It was great to have a friend like her."` *This was the place they would stay and relax he wished to retire here however when there gold ran out he would have to go adventuring once more for coin, she would tag along. 

He thought about the entire world the places they could see the people they would meet, the challenges they would face to make them stronger but also in the back of his mind he had been unfolding a plot to make sure her parents didn't take her away from him he would rather be dead then let her go to some place she didn't want them to lose his only friend.*

`"Good afternoon short stack.."` 

*He would poke fun at her as he gently pulled her soft small cheek with his two fingers*
Alice
*She was sound asleep, not making so much as a peep. Her body gently rose and fell with each passing breath as she lay comfortably on top of him. When he pulled her cheek, she whimpered and squirmed against him.* "Mmm do not be unkind... I am quite sleepy... You would do well to mind those fingers mortal.." *She scooted up to hug his head against her chest, and she would not let go. Once this was complete she'd bury her face into his hair and cuddle his whole head like a teddy bear... And fall back asleep.* "...Mine.." *She murmured, her grip loosening once she drifted off again.*
John
*Would slowly let go of her cheek with his fingers as she spoke he didn't know she had this side of her his eyes widened he would definitely ask her about this when she woke up. As she scooted up to his head and hugged his head into her chest his eyes closed as he blushed deeply holding her as her face was buried into his fluffy brown hair. He closed his eyes decided to drift back to sleep as his face was on her chest*
Alice
*She would awaken a few hours later, straddling him with her hands on his chest. Her face was mere inches from his as she gazed down at his face. She was trying something... She had no idea if it would work but she was trying to manifest him awake. She could control dreams, but she wanted to see if she could make people wake up from them. The answer was no, no she could not. That was not an ability she posessed but hey, no harm in attempting. She wanted to see if there was anything she could do... Anything more she could unlock somehow. Away from her family and home... She would have to figure this all out on her own.*
John
*As he remained asleep and she would gaze upon his face if she looked at his hair just beneath some of his fluffy hair she would be able to faintly see horns appearing though they were tiny they were there hidden by the amount of hair he had. Feeling her move would cause him to stir slowly his eyes fluttering slightly awake to see her staring at him* `"Did I do something wrong...? Are you ok..?"`
Alice
*She would notice, and she would poke them.* "You have these things. What are they?" *Maybe he knew, maybe he didn't... But she had a lingering worry in the back of her mind, and she just wanted to confirm it.* "I need your blood.." *That sounded endearing, especially since she had eaten quite a lot recently but no.* "Just... A drop of blood" *From his finger would do just fine. In this way she would be able to confirm if her suspicions would hold up to be true.*
John
*Was super confused he had just woken up she bombarded him with so many questions! As she poked them they would feel hard and were pointy! There color was black* `"What things stop poking my head!"` *He would pout tiredly and turn over away from her trying to sway her away closing his eyes he pulled the blanket over himself to hide from her* `"Lemme sleeeep!"` *He would mimic sounds of snoring*
Alice
*Well, she supposed there was nothing left to do but let him sleep, and so she would. Slipping off the bed she would find some paper and a pen... And walk up to lay on the ceiling to draw for a bit. She tried to sketch Aslan, but it looked horrible. Then, she tried to sketch herself... She knew what she looked like. She had seen her reflection in the water, in glass, and sometimes in monocles and glasses. She wasn't a very good artist to say the least... But she wasn't the worst out there.*
John
*Opened his eyes realizing she gave up he could use this to sneak up on her, and surprise her his head poked out the blanket as he quietly slipped out the bed while she was occupied with the blanket in tow, as he got right behind her... He would pounce wrap her around in the blanket and pick her up* `"Ahah! An ai! Burrito!"` *He wrapped the blanket around her so it would look like a burrito!*

*Opened his eyes realizing she gave up he could use this to sneak up on her, and surprise her his head poked out the blanket as he quietly looking up at her in the ceiling just doodling away he spoke* `"Heyyy you just going to leave down here!"` *He spoke softly tilting his head looking up at her moving off the bed to stretch it was about time he worked out, and trained he would go to one corner of the room and begin to do push ups, sit ups, other work outs while she was doodling away*
Alice
*Now that he was awake, she would float down and sit on his back or stomach, depending on which excercise he was doing.* "What are these?" *She would poke those little horns again... One thing at a time she supposed. She would get very suspicious however if he tried to evade the question.* "That is not a trait that humans have.." *Which would lead her to her next point, but she would get to that a little bit later. Did this have to do with the blood lady from before? Or had he been up to something that she didn't know about? Because those were not there before.*
John
*As he did a sit up and she sat on his stomach he would huff as he was practically pinned he didn't want to move her as she poked his little horns he sighed he didn't even know what she was talking about.* `"What are what ai?What's not a trait a human has?"` *What in the 7 realms was she on about has she gone mad? He didn't have a clue horns appeared on his head. Afterall he was barely human anyway possibly not even human at all the elder being Aerie and High Elf*
Faye
*As they were walking down the path up ahead was a small hobbit town the town of condur looking around she could hear the sounds of armor and horses running throughout the tree lines. What was going on they could hear hooves beating against the ground drawing her sword with a loud shink! Arrows came out from the tree line dozens of them from the side then the left she blocked as many as she could with her sword and shield her armor being able to bounce most of the rest of few of them go in-between the pieces of metal causing her to scream out in pain.*
Alice
*She puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, and just took his hand and put it on his bloody head.* "Those" *Now there would be no way that he could feign ignorance to what she was talking about. She'd stand up, and give him room to explain himself. Looking towards the window, she thought she heard something peculiar... Something off in the distance. Something was causing the outside to stir butnit was daytime... She couldn't step foot outside to go investigate.*
Esther
*She would try to shield herself but as it was too late she took a few hits grunting in pain as she too was injured!*
John
*He would sigh and then gently feel around his head as he felt the horns he looked worried then scared as it washed over his face he looked towards her* `"I don't know where these came from! If I had them since the beginning you would have felt them when you was washing my hair. They probably appeared overnight while I slept."` *He said it was the only logical explanation but that's not what she wanted to hear would she even believe him he was telling the truth... Maybe she wants to know why it happened? Seeing her look towards the window he was confused* `"Is everything alright?"`
Faye
*Shouted into the forest angrily* 

`"You filthy dirty commoners put your filthy little sticks towards me you'll all pay!"` 

*Her hand glowed a blood red as knights began to run out from the forest towards them.

One knight would swing his sword at mushi, while another ran towards Ysildea she would Perry lock swords and guide his sword into the ground before slashing up to the right slitting the knights throat then another arrow to her thigh she held her thigh ripping it out she waved her hand as a swarm of blood butterflies began to swarm the area they were carnivorous and would be eating at anything they land that has flesh on the enemy knights screams of battle and blood began to fill the air.*
Esther
*As she was occupied attacking the soldiers mushi was doing the same using her chaos magic to slaughter more knights, taking hits more and more being worn down*
Alice
"Faedon.." *She calmly walked forward and took his hand.* "I believe you... It is why I asked you about their appearance, but even more so.." *She removed a pin from her hair piece, and gently pricked his finger to make a tiny bead of blood to which she would taste. She scoured and made a face, shaking her head as she coughed and hacked something fierce. Just from one drop. Vampires drank blood, yes. But **Human** Blood. This was akin to licking battery acid.* "I fear.." *She said in between breaths* "That you are no longer human.." *That meant the vampires creed was no longer in effect. She could no longer claim him as her human and thusly, that protection would be gone.

As the noise persisted, she pointed to the window. They could continue this later* "I hear screams... Blood curdling cries and the clashing of metal. I cannot venture into the light, but if you do go investigate please be careful"
Faye
*Pants using her blood art on her sword her sword began to weep blood as she moved her stance shifting with each swing behind it followed beautiful blood red butterflies behind the blade with a mystical scent as she blocked one attack then another as she was surrounded by three knights she blocked another 4 more left she swung her sword cutting one of there ankles before blocking again 2 more she thrusted her sword forward and then slashes to the side cutting another knights upper chest with her thrust then her slash slicing the others thigh one of there swords hit her hand where the armor was it protected it but didn't stop her hand from feeling the blunt force she whimpered in pain before being kicked to the ground with another arrow whisking by hitting there own knight, an evil grin came upon her as the two knights she injured she staggered to her feet grabbing one of them using them as a shield as more arrows came she used him as arrows pelted into his corpse she throws the corpse at the other knight that was inured and then stabbed her sword through its neck before looking towards mushi she took another arrow in her shoulder stumbling she yelled* `"I'll be back."` *She began to run panting holding her shoulder with her sword in hand those pesky archers, she would send her swarm of butterflies to attack the arches in the distance there screams of being eaten alive slowly but butterflies could be heard as she limped and ran towards the Hobbit village*
John
`"Yes...?"` *He would ask but as she continues to speak and she pricked his finger he would speak* `"Ow! Rude..."` *He would hold his finger close she would still taste human blood however if he used his blood magic anymore times he would be in trouble of losing his humanity all together.* `"Do you wish for me to investigate it is our village and I will protect our village."` 

*Standing up he gathers his equipment and armor putting it on and tying the leather strings and his belt with his sword looking down at her slightly* `"I'll go investigate that could lead to a problem for me and you and this village I'll be careful I promise."` *He hugged her softly before standing upright and leaving the room heading down the stairs until he was outside he huffed with a little jog he began to head towards the sounds of battle.*
Esther
*She staggered getting hit more she was cut and her suit barely... A suit... She swung her axe decapitating some of the archers as she watched the women run off rolling her eye and grunting as she was sliced more*
Faye
*Pants taking a few steps back she escaped the knights for now but left mushi to continue doing fighting* `"I am Ysildea Blade of Esiyae I have never known defeat."` *She would say to herself her eyes glowing as her fangs came out in anger she bolted back into the tree lines the unsuspecting archers would be her first pray, she would sneak behind them and slit the first ones throat the second one would get her sword in there mouth as the blade slides across the mans teeth the last archer looked in fear she placed her boot into the mans face and kicked it away sending her butterflies to eat the last once alive before limping towards mushi.

As she go close to mushi there was about only 4, knights left they had swords and shields, thrusting her sword into the back of one of them through the chest she kicked the body away and swung her sword to the left clashing blades with another knight, recoiling her blade she swung again I'm a series of swings left, right then a upward strike cutting the mans ear off kicking his knee she back handed the man knocking some teeth out before putting both hands on her sword and swinging it to the left and down cutting his face open with him gurgling on his own blood, she struggled to hold her sword as she had a dagger on her thigh the man had stabbed she fell to one knee dragging the sword up to hold herself from falling as she panted heavily, hoping mushi can handle the last two knights, she sent a wave of her butterflies to the last two knights as it would be a small distraction.*
Esther
*She gritted her teeth as she had been fighting a few nights for a long time her cuts were bad and bleeding but she had a burst of rage consuming her as her axe swung around and round chopping and slicing open the nights exhausting herself as she fell to the ground, the knights dead but she was also kneeling struggling*
Faye
*Pants as she looks towards mushis state it wasn't that good but they had killed around 9 hunters by themselves she speaks* 

`"Are you ok...? We got them all they did a pretty bad number on me..."`
Esther
"Ngh... I'll be fine after an hour or two... Need to recover."

*She grunted as she was in pain*
Faye
`"You won't be fine look at your injuries you got slashed all over your body and you didn't have armor I had armor and I got some bad hits don't be stubborn."`

*She slowly used her sword as a cain of sorts limping towards mushi lifting her up wrapping her arm around her shoulder she pants as she begins to limp towards the village up ahead she would walk for a few minutes before collapsing*
Esther
*She would wince as she was helped up and limped with her until the two fell grunting in pain once more*

"Jeez... Couldn't of dropped me gently??..."
Faye
*Gritted her teeth as she winces her steel armor clanked against the ground*

`"Shut up..."`
John
*Came towards the sounds of fighting off in the far distance he would find two injured people in the distance making his way towards them with a light jog his hand resting in his sword one an armored female the other a female with an eye patch.*

`"Are you two ok?"` 

*He asked looking down at them then where they were coming from he would hear heavy footsteps of 4 knights behind them and they would shout*

`"Hand over the murders for there crimes against the village of condur."`
Esther
"Ugh... They hold such a grudge... Nghaa... I didn't kill on purpose..."

*She fed again as she held her cut on her gut to stop bleeding*
John
*Unsheathes his sword as blood began to swirl around it* `"I will not hand them over without just reason were they murders or self defense?"` *But as he asked this one of the knights runs forward with his sword swinging it down on Faedon slashing his chest as he stepped back then forward thrusting his sword into the mans eye socket, using his blood magic he uses blood dance form 1 sending waves of roots through the ground knocking the other three off there feet switching to his blood dance Art form two the disgusting bleeding roots came up behind his sword as he swung it the roots came out like a spear piercing the first mans mouth and into his stomach leaving him to choke on his own blood his next swing clashed with the second knights sword stepping back parrying the third before swinging his sword again another wave of roots piercing the mans leg and thigh as his blade slashes the mans chest open, the last knight he perry's the hit then kicks him to the ground shoving his sword into the gut of the last knight holding his bloodied chest wound he grumbles.*

`"Can either of you stand?"`
Esther
"N-no..."

*She was embarrassed, she couldn't stand just like her past she was weak and vulnerable. She dragged herself along slightly*

"...I'm not accepting your help if I get into debt..."
John
*Kneeled slowly stopping her from continuing to drag herself he would gently lift her up by her legs and one arm around her back as his chest had began to bleed slightly.* `"I don't care about debt, you owe me nothing I will help you once your better you can decide what you wish to do."`
Faye
*Layed on the ground holding her thigh wound where the knife had been he was only one person she didn't want to ask for help she was stubborn*

`"I'll be fine here I just need some time."`
Esther
"...She's not fine, the dumb broad likes to act tuff..."

*Stareee*

"And sure I don't mind free help so help me as much as ya want."

*She winced*
John
*Held the women in his arms he would gently take her hand and press it down on her stomach wound getting some of her blood on his hands, he looked towards the women on the ground he whistled into the village*

`"Aslan! Aslan! Come here boy!"`

*He whistled again then shouted the sounds of hooves beating into the ground could be heard as the horse came sprinting towards them he gently lifted her up on the horse, sat her on the saddle going over to Ysar he began to lift her up but she was by the gods a heavy women! All that armor he would gently lift her onto the horse* 

`"Armored lady hold onto the eye path lady I'll lead the horse back to the village."`

*He said as he grabbed the reigns and began to jog lightly back to the inn as the horse began to run with his master towards the inn.*
Faye
*Closed her eyes gently holding onto mushi to make sure she didn't fall off but her grip was slightly weak from the injuries* 

`"You tell no one of this."`
Esther
"Ngh... H-hey I know your not a doctor but putting your hands in my wound won't help... Ggh..."

*She winced as she was held by ysildea*

".......Also thanks..."
John
*As the made it to the inn he closed his eyes and shook his head* 

`"Basic medicine and treatment is put pressure on a wound to slow the bleeding as to why I put your hands on your wound. Now come down."`

*He would gently open his arms as he lifted one of her legs off the horse and needed her to slide down into his arms, once she did he would walk into the inn and enter the room up the stairs setting her on the bed spare bed leaving to go grab Ysildea and did the same but on the couch* `"You two just give me a second I'll get my stuff."`

*His face was filled with confusion how did he end up in this mess? Maybe he should of left them there? No he had to protect the village, he grabbed his bandages and green healing paste and a bucket of clean water and multiple clean rags, he gently began to clean mushi's wounds lifting her shirt slight to gently clean her wounds and apply the paste occasionally cleaning the rag and applying more healing past before wrapping it in bandages he would do this across her body and legs until she was completely bandaged. 


He walked over to Ysildea but she slapped his hands away*
Faye
`"Get your filthy hands off of me I'll be fine."` 

*She growled towards faedon stubbornness in her voice even though she was bleeding alot she also noticed a little female in the room*
Alice
*Listening from the room, she had heard the commotion clearly but didn't recognize two of the voices. Sitting down in the far corner closest to the door, her head followed as Faedon brought them both in one by one. She didn't ask any questions but she did stay out of the way. She could put the obvious facts together... There was a fight, there were injured, Faedon assisted, and now they were caring for these two. Rising to her feet she quietly scurried out of the room and diwn the stairs. 

They only had two left... Just two, how convenient was that? When she tried to step outside she was met with the unpleasantness of the light and could go no further. She was able to gain the attention of one of the inn workers and asked him very politely to go and retrieve them for her from the carriage. Bouncing lightly on her feet as she waited, she smiled as the assisting hobbit returned with that she had asked for. She gave a low bow in thanks before running uo the stairs.

Reentering the room, she set them both on the table and went right back downstairs again. This time, she would request water, and some food. The food would take a little while to prepare, but she could at least carry the three mugs of water back up while again, expressing her gratitude.*
Esther
"Jeez stop being so rude huh, he's trying to help you recover... Ngh... Crap your making me mess up my bandages... This better not screw up my abs..."

*She looked down at the gut cuts then back to the others*

"...How do I always end up in these situations"

*Sigh*
John
*Would see the mushi was being very polite or at least allowed him to heal her wounds, but this other female she was annoying she was fighting him to basically die.* 

`"I'm trying to help you stop fighting me."`

*He sighs as he sees Ai coming back with health potions food and water he looked towards Ai* 

`"Can you help the girl with the eye path drink the health elixir after bring the last one to me."`

*He put his hands on his lap waiting for the female to stop fighting him*

`"After can you help me get the armor off of this one she seemingly wishes to die we may need to knock her out."`
Faye
`"I don't want help I'm fine I just needed to make sure you were alive"`

*She was very argumentive, and angry she pushed Faedon away as he tried to untie her armor she angrily hissed at him and the little girl.*
Alice
*She would oblige to the first request, and bring one of the health potions over to the one who seemed more compliant. Once that was administered, she'd set the empty bottle back down on the table and pass him the last one. Now, when it came to helping remove armor of one who just hissed at her... She'd hold up two arms and form an X whilst shaking her head. She wouldn't help someone who didn't want to be helped at the expense of her own safety. She'd excuse herself with a small bow and retreat downstairs to see if the food had finished being prepared yet.*
Esther
*She was getting annoyed with how ysildea was acting after having the potion she forced herself up and walked over using a wall as support her shirt unbuttoned covering the necessities for now, and whack! She wacked ysildea on the head playfully*

"Will you get off your high horse?!"
John
`"Thank you ai I can handle it alone."` 

*He didn't expect the female to be so combative as she hissed at his friend he resisted the urge to slit her throat but mushi coming over and thwacking the other female in the helmet it brought him back from his intrusive thoughts and began to try again this time she would let him with lots of grumbling and complaining under her breath.*
Charles
*As her armored was being removed she placed one hand on her head she placed her arms around her waist hurt and in pain she closed her eyes. Feeling the cold past being placed on her body and her wounds gripping her side tightly as she groaned in pain*

`"Ow! Damn... Careful... Go lay down! You shouldn't be walking!"`
John
*Would see mushi still standing he would urge her to sit down he stood up and gently lead her to the bed and laid her back down* `"Don't move until your better ok?"` *Now he knows how ai felt when he first stumbled into her shop this was becoming more of a headache then needed. Moving back over he gently wrapped her wounds with his bandage's after the healing paste he was happy it was only cuts and not stab wounds."`
Rafael
*The master Hobbit would come over with the food in his hands on a wooden platter he would look to ai who had been running around up and down*

`"Is everything alright my friend?"`
Alice
*She would give a kind smile and a curtsy* "Indeed. Faedon brought two injured parties back to the inn... I am assisting in bringing fourth supplies. Thank you very much for swiftly preparing this food for me, you have my gratitude.." *She would take the tray and carefully walk up the stairs with it. Once inside the room she would place that on the table too and remove the empty healing potion bottle to make room. They had food, water, beds... Faedon looked like he had this under control so she would return downstairs to stay out of the way.*
Esther
"Ugh... I'll be fine... I already f-feel better, plus I don't want that idiot causing you trouble."

*She sat up on the bed looking over and smirked at ysildea*

"She's a pain..."
Rafael
*As she came back down he looked at ai with worry as she had left just before he could ask any questions injured parties?? Why didn't they call for him?! He could have definitely helped her! He could have brought the mages he was tapping his foot upset as he looked at ai* `"You are my friend you should have asked for our help this village is now your village."` *He said with a soft tone*
John
`"You don't feel better I can see it in your face and your voice. You two are stubborn. You'll need at least a full day of rest I think your wounds will be healed by then from the exlir and my healing paste."` *He says looking over at her he made sure the healing paste would make them sleepy so they could sleep it off mushi would begin to feel drowsy so would Ysildea* `"When you wake you'll feel extremely weak for 30, minutes almost unable to move but after that you'll be 100% I can have my friend help you eat while I help your friend eat."`
Esther
"...S-shit... Ngh the world is spinning, this is all her fault."

*She would flop back Into the bed with a thud and snoring away*
Alice
*She shook her head and made an X with her arms* "No, no... One of them bites" *She said with an honest nod.* "Otherwise I would have asked you for help from the very beginning... But on that subject... I don't believe we've formally exchanged names." *She'd give a low curtsy* "My name is Ai. Yume, Ai. Daughter to Riki Von Klein and Anju De'La Rose Yume." *She'd rise and place her hands neatly down in front of her.* "What is your name, young master hobbit of the inn?" *Using her full introduction was a display of unyielding respect.*
Charles
*Felt her eyes getting heavy she would slowly go to sleep*

`"What... Did you do..."`
John
*Once her eyes shut she fell asleep allowing him to feed her the elixir then he would slowly leave the room and close the door with his sleeves rolled up and covered in blood. He comes towards Ai and comes to her `"I'm finally done is there a sink I can use to clean my arms I apologize for my intrusion."` *Finally things seemed to be calming down finally.*
Rafael
*Looks at her as she made an X he let out a hearty laugh as she explained how fiesty the other lady was* `"My name is Hunald LeafWalker it's a pleasure to formally meet you Ai Yume."` *He bowed soon after but saw Faedon coming he spoke* `"Oh welcome young man I never got your name either... There is no intrusion please help yourself to the sink and wash your hands."`
Alice
*Hunald... Leafwalker. It is a pleasure" *She'd offer a kind smile before looking over to Faedon. She looked from him, to his arms, then to him, then up to the room. Goodness, what waa going on up there?* "His name is Faedon. We are adventuring together" *She'd fill him in a little bit, like a cliff notes version of everything that happened up to this point.* "And now we are here. In any case, is there anything you need assistance with?" *She wanted to be useful somewhere.*
John
*Smiles at the master Hobbit before speaking* `"Can you help me clean off all this blood from my hands. The Green medical paste I have it in my pocket I know your going to worry... But it may have been cut in my chest... It isn't anything big! I promise just a cut! I just need the past applied to my wound"` *He would say bowing to the Hobbit before heading to the sink in the back to wash his arms he would smile softly to show he was ok to ai.*
Alice
*Of course, of course! She'd open her mouth to lecture before closing it. Just a cut? If it was just a cut he wouldn't need assistance. Narrowing her eyes she would sigh before nodding* "Please excuse me Master Hunald." *Following Faedon to the back, she would reach into his pocket to take hold of the green paste to help him apply it. First she would smell it... It didn't smell horrible, but it was medicine so it wouldn't smell like a garden of roses either.* "Let me see... Do I just apply it over the cut? Should we not clean it?" *She didn't know if there was any anti bacterial or sanitation properties in this paste but she hoped so.*
John
*He moved to clean his hands in the sink with the soap they had once all the blood was off he took a seat on a bench lifting his shirt to reveal the 7 inch long cut across his chest it wasn't deep so that was good as she mentioned if they should clean it he paused for a moment before speaking*

`" Your right... Uh... We need a clean soft rag and warm water with soap, a dry towel and then bandages to wrap it."`

*He would say he didn't think it was bad but if she looked at it it would look slightly bad it was a 60 degree angle going from the right side of his chest down to his abs*
Alice
*As she looked over the injury, she glanced at him with a stone cold expression and would show her disdain by being passive agressive. She would find a clean soft rag and use **Hot** Water, not warm water. She wouldn't be gentle either, and she would firmly press the dry rag against it before applying a generous amount of the medicinal paste. From there she would **Tightly** Wrap the bandages around it, and when she was done she'd slam the rag down and stomp out with a huff. Walking into the lobby she passed Hunald and pointed behind her.* 

"I am not speaking with him" *Before marching up the wall and onto the ceiling and sitting down with a huff. Crossing her arms, she couldn't believe him. Little cut? Was he daft?? Oh don't worry Ai, he said... I'll bE cArEfUl he said. What a load of crap.*
John
*Saw her look and was confused at why she was so upset, as she used hot water he gritted his teeth in pain as she dragged it across the wound, it felt like a thousand needles plus the hot water it was as if his skin was boiling in a pot of hot water he whimpered in pain as she wrapped the bandages after the paste he holds onto the bench slowly laying down on his side to catch his breath and breathe his eyes closed tightly in pain why was she so rough he didn't know what he did wrong.*
Rafael
*Looked at the boy seeing the pain on the boys face before turning to face her he looked at one of his helpers they quickly went to help Faedon closing the door gently behind. 

Hunald speaks softly `"Come down from the ceiling Ai Yume we must talk about what you did let this old hobbit give you some words of wisdom."`

*He used her formal name to show he wanted to speak to her serious manner he had some concern on his face.*
Alice
*Reluctantly, she would walk down from the ceiling, back down the wall and across the floor to one of the couch chairs beside the grand fireplace. Her feet hung just a little bit above the ground as she placed her hands in her lap.* "I am upset" *Well no duh, as if her demeanor couldn't portray anything else.* "I am capable of being told dire circumstances yet he insists on sugar coating events and details... He said it was but a cut." *She held up two fingers with a couple of inches of space between them.* "But it was this." *Then she used two hands to emphasize the distance of the actual incision* "I am two hundred and fifteen years old, I am not a child... Yet he insists on treating me like one."
Rafael
*As she came down from the ceiling and took a seat on the other couch he had a cup of ol mead in his hand gently stroking his grey beard and having a smoke pipe on the nearby table he would gently lite the smoke pipe and take a few puffs before taking a sip of mead with a soft exhale* `"That hits the spot in this old hobbit."` *A soft chuckle and then laugh escaped leaning back into his chair. Seeing how upset she was taking mental notes* `"Mmm"` *Listening to what she had to say before replying* `"Well Ai Yume have you tried to communicate with him to not sugar coat details or event's? Or have you had all this pent up and just now it exploded out."` *Taking another puff of his smoke pipe*

*A soft cough would escape his lips before speaking once more* `"Miss Ai you should take note of your age as well the boy is only from what he looks like at best 18-20 a young lad compared to your 2 centuries and 15 years compared to you he's just getting his toes wet in this world. Have taken into consideration he may water down things to try to make you not worry for him? Because he knows you care he doesn't want you to stress for him."` *Stroking his beard once more whilst looking at the fire place setting down his smoke pipe lifting the mead for another sip* 

`"Ah... It is not wrong for you to be upset that he waters things down or 'Sugar Coats' as you say but a young lad like him is looking for adventure trying to find his way in the world wants to explore! And most certainly is very naive, ignorant, and makes questionable decisions. I am not saying this to insult the young sir I'm saying this because I am a retired adventurer myself"` *Taking a long gulp of his mead before pointing to the inside of the fireplace if she looked closely she would see a two handed giant battle axe inside the fire it didn't seem to be heated up by the fire either it looked normal.*

`"This old hobbit has seen the world far and wide, dragons, demons, elves the vast oceans and underwater"`

`"Treasures so big it could fill this entire tavern!"` *He gave a hefty laugh explaining his adventures*
Alice
"I have. He doesn't want me to worry but while I appreciate the sentiment.." *Actually, new thought... Why did it matter how dire it was? She couldn't fight, and she couldn't heal.* "I don't want to have to expect the worst every time because he was not straightforward from the beginning... Tis' folly." *She could see his points, but she was still irritated.* "While I would agree with you, he was equally upset when I did this to him" *She wouldn't say the circumstances... But he was quite angry that day.* "And if he would get upset with me, is it not fair to access that I would be upset for the same reason?"

 *She'd nod in agreement with every criticism he gave, because he wasn't wrong. That fit him to a T and while she didn't have a problem with any of that... She just wanted honesty. Tell her that his arm was chopoed off rather than calling it a flesh wound. As her gaze was redirected to the weaponry inside the fireplace, she'd can't her head curiously to one side.* "But... Why did your adventure end? What was it you found that made you satisfied?"
Rafael
`"Oh ho! Miss ai is a very intelligent women!"` *He would give her praise with a big smile gently stroking his head as his eyes stared into the fireplace looking upon his axe his lips would part* `"Oh he has gotten upset with you when did it to him? Were you hurt emotionally or physically by anything that would warrant his upset behavior? This also brings another point!"` *Smiling as he could teach a lesson here!*

`"It is completely fair for you to be upset if the circumstances were similar but if entirely different your view still matter's but you most weigh the differences. However in your circumstance did he bring pain upon you? Like you did to him? A hot rag on a wound? And by his face of pain. As friend even if they make you angry, even angry enough that you want to stangle them, knock some sense into there head it is a friend's duty to make sure there ok at the end of the day before s god lecture."`

*Leaning forward from his couch to look at ai to speak once more he took a few puffs from his smoke pipe and blew it into the flames with a soft cough* `"You as his friend must also set a boundary, a line in the sand be direct upfront no pouting your cheeks no red face, speak with a stern voice and strong posture and tell him how you feel then he might get it in his young thick skull. Like this for example."` *Taking a soft breath he stood up his posture being fixed from being hunched slightly over his eyes looked serious along with his face but it wasn't forced he spoke In a stern and a voice of authority* `"You will no longer lie or water down anything that may happen to you, are my friend this is non negotiable I want honesty if I'm to trust you."`

*It would be an entire different side of the master Hobbit it was as if he was the one the field of battle commanding troops to war sighing as he stretches his back before sitting down* `"I stopped adventuring because these vines grew old, I found that wasting my youth away in the search of adventure."`

`"It didn't make me happy all those times I adventured out to explore one thing I was missing... I was missing a friend... A companion... Someone to share my stories with for years to come when it was time to retire I could not find it in all the realms I traveled so I settled here to give advice and wisdom to those who come across this old little inn of mine."` *A soft smile came across the old hobbits face as he looked in the fireplace of his old axe* `"It is why my ace is there alone with not other weapons beside it."`
Alice
"Cleaning a wound will always hurt regardless of circumstances" *And she did just that... With some passive aggression thrown in there as well. While she understood where he was coming from, she also knew that it would take a lot of time for him to consistently follow through. That, and she wasn'ta stern or loud speaker... It just wasn't who she was but she'd give it a try one of these days.* "So you never... Wanted to have a family?" *As people got old, she could understand just wanting to find a place to rest out ones days.* "How many travelers have passed through here that you've mentored? Did you ever see any of them again? Do you have a map?..Of everywhere you've been?" *That could be incredibly useful to them if they could chart their way through the lands with the dangers already marked out for them.*
Rafael
`"Yes it does hurt but it can hurt a little more if to much is done to it."` *He would narrow his eyes as he knew what she did and how she did it was pretty petty but funny at the same time* `"I did want a family but alas this Hobbit is a hopeless romantic."` *Hefty laugh escaped as he refilled his cup with mead* `"I would say at least 15 in the last 20 years even though they weren't alot the ones who asked for my wisdom turned out to be great adventurer's."` *He smiles* `"The map... A map! Oh your a little late... I gave it off a few years ago, but If you buy a map at the market I can mark everything that I remember?"` *Stroking his beard softly* `"Oh and do go apologize to the young lad for your slick behavior you pulled."` *He gave a chuckle* `"Remember be straightforward and stern!"` *He would charge with her as they chatted around an hour or two had passed*
