<span style="color: Green">“We have a deal.  Though I doubt your ‘brothers’ can cause me much fear after everything I have gone through already.”</span>He agreed with a shrug.  It sounded like her problems were far less than his and winnie’s.  At least by his estimation.  A bunch of nobles trying to kill him would be simple in comparison to demons and armies… Wait, she said her brothers were nobles?  Does that mean she was an exile from some noble house of her people?<br/><br/>Oh well, not like he would know who that is as a lowly merc from a different continent altogether.  He didn’t feel like actually bringing that up at all.  It didn’t matter much to him.  It was probably good he didn’t know the price on her head either.  Kept the temptation away.  Not that he would turn her in if she actually started traveling with them.<br/><br/>The damn fey’s little interruption kept him from thinking about it too much.  Her appearance didn’t surprise him, but made him groan a little.<span style="color: Green">“Oh, great… if we didn’t already have enough trouble.”</span>Yeah, he had heard the same complaints about the little fey from the Aviari.  And even some that the little fey was actually Winnie’s pet just to torture them.  Unfortunately he hadn’t been able to talk to the fox girl about her little… pet?  Friend?  Either way, Parrin had seemed to keep herself locked up in her room.  He hadn’t been able to get her alone to ask her to help keep her little friend in check.<br/><br/><span style="color: Green">“Yeah, some dinner sounds good.  We don’t need the trouble of that pest deciding to have a meal, again.  I don’t want to imagine how pissed Parrin would be if I crushed her fr…  What is that commotion?”</span>Darion began before he heard the squawking and calls from some of the Aviari that had been flying around the ships.  Just hearing the sounds of distress took his attention away from the others and into that direction.  And seeing the beast that was approaching… Darion’s hand immediately went to his sword and drew the plain iron blade from its sheath.<br/><br/>Many of the Aviari that had been flying around the ships were just there to spread their wings and enjoy being in the air again after all that time on the water.  It was one of the children who first saw the dark speck approaching.  She had thought it was little more than just a regular bird.  And had been proven wrong when it kept getting bigger.  She let out the first warning when the thing was close enough that she could see it was approaching, and had a rider.  They all immediately started to panic, rushing back to the ships.  Some to grab the Crude wooden spears that Darion had insisted they keep around.<br/><br/>It was a good thing they didn’t, in the end, need them.<br/><br/>Darion watched the beast and rider descended towards the deck, and the wolf like creature began to shrink down to a manageable size.  A more normal size compared to the nightmare inducing size it was before.  The figure who jumped off though… seemed kind of familiar.  Including the height and that voice.  It took a bit longer, listening to her speak for a little while longer before that familiarity became certain.  Though it didn’t make him even seem like he was going to re-sheath his blade.<br/><br/><span style="color: Green">“You know me, and you seem familiar… but I can’t place your face, or a name.  Who are you?” </span>Darion asked, eyes running over the woman’s form, armor and weapons.  Admiring her form while also admiring the armor she wore.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
