*Once outside the tweets of birds gave the day a happier note on top of the beautiful love her and Dell shared moments ago. She was walking backwards outside of the inn as they headed toward the woods.* "I wonder how many slimes we will find?" *She turned around and began to hum, Normally she would hold his hand while walking but she kept them loose in case she needed to draw her sword fast. The woods loomed head, the dark shadows seemed more dark and the echo of an elks call sounded bouncing off the trees.* "Okay" *She stopped before the woods* "I am mostly hands on so i will lead us into this" *She looked to him* "IF im hurt, focus on killing the slimes first, i can be healed when im not being attacked" *She looked to him* "If we get separated ...I will Sparrow whistle, do you know what it sounds like?"

Dell carried a bag with some supplies, and perhaps Enna may have noticed a ornate silver ring on his pinky finger. A deep red was still on his face from Ennas latter words at the room, a promise for later certainly hoped. But the mage eventually focused back in. "I understand, may I advise if an attack is coming my way don't feel the need to throw yourself infront of it. I have multiple ways of defending myself, so allow me to block then feel free to counter attack. I'm personally a ranged fighter but I'm pretty accurate so trust me that I will hit my target and not you." Dell thought for a moment, nodding his head. "Yes I believe I know what one sounds like, though I doubt I could mimic the sound myself. I'll likely only be able to whistle in return or summon a sphere of light to show where I am"

The mage was feeling a little... Uneasy? It was only mere slimes, but there was always the possibility of injury. The thought of his lover getting hurt worried him, but in this line of work he had no place to avoid a reasonable level of danger. He wasn't a student any longer and believed in his spells, and believed he would know what to do when the time came. "I've got your back, my love."

The pairs first adventure, they both seemed competent enough despite the mages own worries. Some slimes in a forrest shouldn't be too difficult for an accomplished mage and a warrior attuned to various elements. Niether perfect, but perhaps together they could be quite fierce. The elf seemed to give off an odd feeling, as if his magic was ready to go at any moment. A side affect of being a little nervous perhaps, his mana attempting to compensate for it.

*She nod* "The sphere of light i would notice" *She looked to her wrist as she adjusted a bracer, Underneath she felt the mark* "We could also try to use the mate mark, right now isn't the time to test it fully but if all else fails.." *She smiled and blushed* "After how well i have seen that mage hand work i trust you with my very soul" *She winked at him as she turned to look at the woods, then looked to him and smiled brightly* " I know Dell... And i have yours " *She could feel the waver through the mark as she looked back to him again * "It will be okay Dell..." *She smiled and moved to him leaning up, she tugged on his armor and pulled him into a kiss. This one lingered and was full of love, and passion, slow and sweet. Pulling away she looked into his eyes before she turned and walked into the woods.* 

*After thirty minutes of looking she felt silly, wondering if the slimes were really here. Her sword was out ready for an attack. She was careful with where she stepped but now and thin a small branch would snap. She was not a light foot, Or a pad food. None of her steps were in silence despite her trying, She frowned at a log she stepped over and paused, while straddling it she saw a slimy shiny substance on it* "Oh!" *She whistled to Dell who was close behind her* "Their close!" *The woods were beautiful but dark and dense in places, animals would scurry out or away and birds would fly the moment they sensed Enna and Dell were not danger. Here thought, with the slime trail on the log, there was not birds and it grew eerily silent. Fully stepping over the log was a trigger of sorts as slimes began to fall out of the trees all around them. She was looking in every direction when one fell on her shoulder. She hissed in and knocked it off as Steam drifted from her armor that had started to melt* "THEY ARE ACID SLIMES!! DONT LET THEM ON YOU!" *She swung with her sword and demolished one, surprisingly easy to kill but she also didn't know the first thing about them

. While her back was turned one morphed into the other creating a larger slime.*
Jeanne
*The slimes that morphed changed color and Glowed, Something shot from it and Enna's sword deflected it but again acid burn drifted into the air from her sword, it wasn't the new one but the old one she had on her. This slime moved slower Then the other small ones, It was Yellow in color and the others were green. It moved slower then the others*
Jean
"Dont let the small Ones form... Your magic will be better then my sword!" *She Looked to her hand, she needed to save her abilities, Her magic was not controllable like Dells. Her cheeks turned red as she smelled the miasma of the melting leather and metal, it had already stopped but the scent was not nice, neither was the trail that killed the plant life around the big Slime* "Its damaging the woods.." *She felt bad for the plant life as she killed another small slime. Next to the other another larger one formed, two of them now faced them and shot again this one aiming for Dell*
Mary
Dell felt a little more confident after hearing Ennas words, he simply needed to believe in his own ability as a mage and Enna's ability as an adventurer too. He was still on edge during those slow thirty minutes attempting to find them, taking longer then he expected. However, how the pair fount their targets was less then ideal.

It was almost like an ambush, slimes falling from the sky after merely walking in the wrong place. The mage barely avoided having any land on him, but fount less luck with his counter attacks. Dell attempted to summon a handful of his magic blades to act as a shield, however either due to the unexpected attack or merely bad timing a shot of acid still met his shoulder, causing him to hiss in pain and wince. His gut reaction was to attempt to heal himself, but he knew that wasn't his highest priority. 

Putting his arm up with his palm facing the larger slime the elf would mutter "Burst", the vocal component to this spells effectiveness. The swords that had been attempting to guard him were shot at the larger slime at high speeds. Ideally this spell would take out a slime per sword, but here he only manged to take down one or two. "Focus Dell focus"

He did his best to compose himself, his emerald eyes briefly scanning the area around them for a source of water. If there wasn't, well he had spells that he could rely on but if there was it would be a large boost to his confidence. 

"I should be able to take down groups of smaller ones if you can stall the larger ones! I don't plan to miss twice" And the mage certainly meant that, his eyes more focused as the seriousness of the situation set in. The pair could end up quite hurt from the slimes acid, Dell would need to pick them off quickly if the pair were to leave with minimal injury and he would need to have faith in Enna to keep herself safe. The mage believed in his lover, and would not fail her by coming up short on his next attack if he had any say in it.
Jean
*She Heard him hiss and her eyes hardened, She could feel the pain through their bond and knew he had been hit. Hearing the splatter of slime matter hit the rocks and local fauna the acid release made a nauseating miasma. Enna's hand wanted to cover her nose but couldn't, She moved and put her back to a tree as she took in the suroundings around Dell. She coughed swallowing down hard and stepped back out in time to dodge one attack and another to hit her arm, burning her again. She screamed this time, having the same arm as her shoulder burned. Tears stung her eyes and raged boiled down into her as she swung and critically sliced straight through one of the big ones, it split in two and she hit the smaller right one splattering it then swung to the side and killed the other half. Now Just one large one remained, for now at least. She backed up, a mix of deactivated acid and blood oozed out from her armor on her arm. She trembled from the pain but had to keep on Guard, * "No wonder these damn things were giving them trouble!"

*She stepped to the side and her foot hit old bones, human remains, her foot recoiled but as it did water sprung out. Her eyes couldn't believe she accidentally found a spring* "Dell... Water! " *She had no idea he was looking for a source* "Be careful not to step here, the ground is slime covered with water this can get slick!" *She moved to a higher ground stance away from the now trickling spring. She didn't Dare to look at her arm, She knew Dell could heal it later, watching a small slime try to form with another she sliced it and backed up now realizing she was close to Dell. She needed a distraction, her eyes darted from one area to the next till she saw one, She ran to the left and rammed her good shoulder into a tree, below it was slimes attempting to form and she hit it again knocking the small tree down but killing four slimes in the process. It also made the Bigger slime turn toward her and start to move away from Dell.* <
Mary
"I can't even imagine what happened to the unfortunate guard that ran into these first..." Dell desperately wanted to cover his nose, the smell in the area getting worse and worse as the fight went on. But he knew he needed to keep his hands free, he was of no use if he couldn't also bare the smell. Hearing Enna scream in pain caused him to grit his teeth, he knew he time spent healing her could lead to multiple more attacks so it would be better to attempt and get rid of as many of the slimes as possible. The mage did his best not to stay in one spot for too long, trying his best to avoid getting hit for now. Until it seemed luck was on his side, a spring could be immensely helpful right now, and fortunately it seemed Dell was peticularly focused...

With the bigger slime moving away from Dell he ran past to get closer to the spring, raising both his hands up. Something simply felt, right. As if he was peticularly attuned to his arcane energies. Spikes of water began to form separating from the spring, spinning at intense speeds before getting shot at several slimes and the water exploding inside them. The larger slime was met with the largest spike of water, almost like a lare spear spinning at high speeds also exploding once it pierced the slime. He didn't know if it was over yet, so the mage formed a wall of water either side of him for now, calling to Enna. "I should be able to protect you with a wall of water and heal you if you can get closer! Try not to slip of course!"

Jean
*She moved quickly to get to Dell's side, She slipped once but gained her footing easily and stood near him looking to the walls of water amazed, It finally snapped how he obliterated the second slime and she looked to him speaking to him as the worry flooded their bond* "Are you okay? " *She wasn't worried about herself even when blood oozed from the wounds under her armor where the acid had seeped in and burned her skin. She looked forward for more slimes but didn't see any infront of them. The smell in the air near dell was fresh and she didn't need to control her breathing from the acid released from each slime.* "I think we have a few more small ones unless they have formed together? Fused? " *Her injured arm started to tremble as her adrenalin was covering up her pain.*
Mary
With Enna close Dell stopped firing off bolts of water, instead focusing one hand to keep a wall of water around them while his other hand was placed near her shoulder. "This may sting, please try and bare it my dear" And with that a soft blue glow left his palm, healing magic closely attuned to his own expertise in water magic. An injury like this shouldn't have been a problem, but significant deeper or worse would likely come at the cost of his own health. His eyes strained a little, keeping up two spells like this in such an intense situation. "I'm ok my dear, it you I'm more concerned about. Forgive me, the slimes shouldn't have even been able to let close. I didn't expect them to fall from the trees, thats for sure." He chuckled a little as he finished his healing spell. His own injury would have to wait, the water walls falling around them. "Hopefully its only a few small ones left, if another wave of them attack this may get significantly more concerning. But we can do this! I believe in you my love, so just believe in me and it won't matter what we face" He managed a bright smile for his lover, ready for whatever was to come next.

Jean
*She Blinked and winced feeling his hand rest on her injured shoulder, There was a cooling effect that made her arm go cold but feel better and the pain ebbed away. She flexed her hand holding her sword in the good hand.* "Whoa" *She was feeling awe and pride that flowed through the bond as she looked to him* "Your amazing" *She all but whispered out, She looked around while he finished healing her.* "Yes... Okay... Its fine, We are learning thats the point of this" *She looked to the side* "I see four on your left " *She looked over* "And two trying to form on the right, i will take the right they are closer!" *She darted out cutting down one before it could fuse with the other.* 

*Turning she watched Dell, she didn't see the shadow looming over her till it was too late and she was slammed by a massive paw on her side and knocked down the hill some, tumbling arm over arm, her sword shattered on the ground leaving only the sword to channel through. Pain erupted through the bond, all over she was hurting, she held her head and looked to see a Gold Chested bear. She rolled to get up and saw blood on her hand, nothing serious a few small cuts, they were bleeding worse then they were, the pain was minimal, she was more sore then anything. She staggered to her feet and used the tree to help keep her steady as she reached for her sword, realizing it was gone she pulled out the second sword. I have to use this, She saw the bear turn toward Dell, had he fired magic and she missed it?*
Mary
"Thank you!" Dell smiled brightly. "And you've been just as amazing, I'm not sure how you cut them down the way you do. You make a fine warrior my dear" Dell felt confident after a more successful attack from his magic, with access to water near by his ability to protect himself and Enna had gone up greatly. Of course, he had more magic at his disposal but water is where the elf felt most comfortable. Water could heal, water could protect and water proved to be one of the most important energies arcane had to offer. At least, according to a book a certain elf had written. "Four on the left, two on the right. Ok, easy enough"

Though it seemed today was going to be far from easy as a large bear attacked Enna. By the time Enna had hit the ground the mages plan had immediately changed. The slimes could wait, this was no regular bear and he wouldn't dare give it another moment to attack Enna. A small flame appeared in his hand, erupting into a arrow like shape as he launched it at the bear. This was the basic application of firebolt fuled by Dell's desperation. Unlikely to kill the beast in one shot of course, but it anything the elf just needed to buy a moment or two so Enna could recollect herself. "Don't push yourself my dear! I can buy you time to compose yourself if you need or give you an opening for that sword of yours!" Dell knew that sword could chanel great amounts of power, and he believed Enna had great potential with magic and the elements she had shown were more then proof. So if buying her time is how he could help, he would do his best.

Jean
*She Heard Dell, confirming she missed him fire at it, the bear was looking between them. She took the confusion and pulled out her sword, channling fire magic to complement Dells. She swung and the bear jumped back, then swung at her , he clawed against her armor, not harming her but enough that she felt the power and she stood her ground. She circled it making it face her so Dell could get a sneak attack at its backside, The flames on her sword licked the air making her eyes glow red and she held an expression of vigilence in battle. Her hair was a Mess yet some how she looked amazing, she had blood on her face that reflected the flames, it looked worse then it was. She spit blood out from her mouth, her lip had been split and she snarled at the bear causing it to Roar at her but that's what she wanted a distraction. She tried to communicate it* ``Fire... He cant see you, use this advantage`` *She swayed her sword to keep the bear thinking she was the threat.*
Mary
How Enna managed to look amazing even now stunned the mage, perhaps strong and capable people were his type afterall. Or perhaps he fount everything Enna did amazing, regardless that was a thought he could share later. The bear continued its attack on Enna and Dell wouldn't waste the opportunity his lover had worked to provide. The mage contemplated on his options for only a moment, fire was effective on all things with flesh to burn, arcane swords proved dangerous especially if multiple blades could peirce the target. But he knew what to focus on, pulling water from the spring Dell took a moment and chanted under his breath. Around one hundred lbs of water had been gathered and shaped into a large spear, spinning at a devastating velocity and shot at the bear. If this didn't prove effective, it would seem fire would be his only option. A thought he was starting to dread as he felt himself become breathless. "Thats... Thats a hard one"

*The bear took a direct hit and growled, blood poured from the would caused by the water, but the bear proved resilient as it turned to charge at Dell. This gave Enna a opportunity and she swung, the flames on her sword glowed and flickered as her magic wavered. She slammed it down on the bears shoulder and saw the flame itself cut straight into its flesh. The bear turned on her so fast Enna screamed when the jaws locked around her shoulder that had just been healed. If it wasn't for her armor it would be biting into her. She pulled out her dagger as her sword hung from its shoulder, the fire now out. The dagger was the second channeling item she had and she rammed up into its throat, the nasty sound of popping and blood spilling filled air as it collapse onto her. She struggled and her feet kicked trying to get it off her.* "DELL!!!" *She couldn't get her shoulder free but it was dead. She calmed down realizing it wasn't still trying to kill her and she breathed out hard. Her hands trembled around the dagger as she pulled it free and tried to push the head off her.* "Its stuck on my shoulder pauldron i think..." *She spit again as blood filled her mouth from busting her lip.*
Mary
Dell ran over to Enna as fast as his legs could carry him, preparing flames in his hand expecting worse. But after the pair realise the beast was dead, Dell calmed down a little. "Lets get this off you, let me see if I can-" And with that the mage summoned a pair of mage hands, prying the dead bears jaws open and attempting to get it removed from Enna's shoulder pauldron. If he was successful he would also help get the bear off Enna and offer a hand to lift her up, a small blue glow forming in his hand. "Lets get you healed- tch ow" The spell quickly dispersed as he held a hand to his head, wincing in pain. The mages form had been off, first panicking on his first few spells and then using advanced versions of said spells immediately after one another had left some strain on him. Only a head ache for now, but consequences regardless. "Just... One moment and I'll be able to heal you again. Or use a potion if you need immediate attention my dear. Looks like we survived the worst of it" Dell looked around, flooded grass, dead slimes, burnt spots and blood painted the area. Quite the endeavour, thats for certain.

Jean
*Her hands trembled as she pulled back when she felt the jaw release. She sat back and looked to him and breathed out. Looking around she coughed slowly and laughed* "We did it.." *She said reassuring herself as she wiped the blade on her pants before she sheathed it. Standing with his help she looked to him worried and felt the drain on them both. She nod as she pulled out a vial from her pouch and handed one to him and took the other as he popped the cork. The bitter metallic scent hit her nose causing it to wrinkle and she down it fast. All of her cuts healed glowing as the magic began to work fast. She collected her sword and looked to Dell* "Sit and rest, your magic is almost depleted it would seem... I only have one or two more cast in me... We should head back.." *She looked around making sure no slimes were hidden and grabbed her nearly melted blade.* "At least the Blade for channeling and the dagger made it.." *She showed him her sword, her armor wasn't better off on her left arm and shoulder.* " Hmnn so my armor wasn't acid resistant. Tsk.." *She made a sound with her mouth and sighed* "Was armor from my village, oh well.." *She looked to dell* "Noted we need some kind of acid resistance to us for future slime hunts." *She moved closer after putting away her weapon and looked to where he had been hit.* "Does it still hurt? " *She was tender with him as she checked him hoping he was okay, her eye soft and she knew later she would possibly cry about the pain.*
Mary
The mage drank his vial of potion with a quick gulp, pulling a face clearly displeased at the taste. "Glad I learnt a healing spell so I don't have to drink these, always hated how medicine would taste growing up" The mage tried to compose himself, the pain in his head persisted. "We can always replace weapons and armor, they did their duty in protecting you. But I could never replace you, I'm glad we made it." The mage responded, rambling on a little as the pair walked. "We'll find you something with acid resistance, sorry about your amor my dear. Acid slimes seem to be more of a pain then I had heard off. And I dont recall such a large breed of beag being local to these woods. Suppose theres some gaps in my knowledge..." Dell's eyed widened a little as Enna showed concern for him, his heart beating against his chest. "I'm ok my dear, just a burn to my shoulder and a rather nasty headache. Some rest and it shall pass. Are you unharmed my dear? You were so brave, facing such a large beast with a sword like that. I'm honestly impressed, like a true warrior" A faint red and a happy smile met his face. "We didn't do half bad, did we?"

||
Jean
*She smiled to him, one he said he was okay and she walked with him away from the carnage of their first victorious, adventure* "We did great!" *She finally laughed that turned into a soft cry as she pulled him into a hug. Finally letting down her guard and she apologized as she held him * "Sorry... Ah... I know i will get better at controlling my emotions... I ...Got scared there... But... We did great.." *She cleared her throat and pushed tears from her face. Worry for him , love for him flowed down as she held her hand around his waist. Looking up to him her nose slowly wrinkled and she laughed* "We should get out of this ...It ...Smells bad here till the rains can wash away that smell." *She looked down* "And we need cleaned..." *She stepped back looking up to him* " I love you... And ...I dont know what i would do if i lost you... And i know you feel the same... I can feel it.." *She blushed as she took his hand. Leaning up on her toes she kissed him, despite her wounds healing the tenderness of new flesh on her split lip was almost as bad as the wound itself.* 

*Wincing she pulled back and sighed* "Lets ...Head back" *She kept ahold of his hand and began to walk. Tonight she wanted to cuddle him as tightly as she could. She knew he wasn't going anywhere but that bear coming up on them out of no where startled her more then she had expected it to.*
