''You suddenly want me to talk now? Oh dear what has the world come to!''<br/><br/>A weak giggle escaped from Eponine's lips until she uttered a cry of frustrated pain. Her chuckling had caused her to move slightly in her bonds, creating an excruciating feeling of pain that transferred all the way through her arm. Even her fingers had now slowly turned blue because of the blood-supply being cut off. She needed to heal herself, and fast, or at least put the arm back in its socket.<br/><br/>''I'm in a very bad position Razor, I've dislocated my arm, whilst falling through the leaves. It's wrapped up in the vines and tied upwards behind my head, it.. It hurts so much..''<br/><br/>The events of the rather eventful night struck her in an instant as she worded her thoughts out loud.<br/><br/>''It's a rather strange night isn't it? I've never been this far away from my home before, and now I am, I'm in the company of something I would have called a monster before. I've been in a life-threatening danger several times, I've been wounded and pained, my home is burned to the ground, and to top it off the Kaiser is looking for me! You should have let me die in the church, now you're dragged into this as well..''<br/><br/>Razor had finally reached the position from where she was hanging, and unlike him, she could see him nearing her, looking up to his strangely white skinned face and bulging veins. Knowing he was unable to see her stares, she pre-occupied herself to study the long 'hairs' sticking out his scalp. Eldritch spikes that seemed to have a mind of it's own, almost like appendages sticking out of his head, ready to strike any opponent. She had read about the many dangers of an Ramen, but had not ever been able to study one as up close as Razor. The sun had been coming up as well, lighting up the tropics around them in a sunny golden glow, diffused by the swamps foggy clouds that were still hanging in between the trees. Hearing the Ramen's warning, she braced herself for whatever diabolical plan the man had come up with to get her out of these vines without actually being able to see her hanging. she was hoping for the best, and although the next few actions he did were happening fast, it did not make it any less painful.<br/><br/>She screamed, out of the top of her lungs as soon as gravity pulled her towards the ground, the feeling of being utterly weightless before being snapped out of the air by a pair of claws she just had to trust not to cut her. But Razor was incredibly nimble, and eventually made it over to a thick and sturdy branch of the tree they were hanging from, carefully setting her onto it. Her arm was still throbbing painfully, hanging limply besides her with a sickening view of her shoulder being formed into a inhuman shape. It made her wretch just looking at it, and she was unable to do anything about it either, as she felt that the last spell to protect the Ramen's bones had sucked every last bit of her energy out both of her body and necklace.<br/><br/>''I.. I can't heal it, I'm too weak. I'd have to push it back into the socket and wrap it in cloth for now, to let it heal on its own I guess. Thank you, for saving me yet again. And.. and thank you for what happened in the cave, without you...''<br/><br/>She stopped mid-sentence, as she saw something move behind the leaves of the forest. It was a bright and fluffy red tail of an animal, but it had been to quick to make out what kind of creature was nearby. Fearing the worst, she whispered quickly underneath her breath.<br/><br/>''Razor, I think something is there, at 12 o'clock.''<br/><br/>It was at that moment that all hell broke lose, and several short looking creatures started falling all around them from the trees. They appeared to be looking like foxes, albeit more human and dressed in leather scraps decorated with feathers and beads. It was a colourful bunch of creatures, and Eponine had recognised them immediately to be the Vulpari, a race descendant from the elves. Nevertheless, she did not like the look of a dozen sharply tipped spears pointed towards hers and Razors throat. A red and white patterned furry vulpari stepped forward on the branch both Razor and Eponine were resting on. He had put his own spear onto the surface of the tree, showing no sign of aggression himself, although his kin was still making sure the human and Ramen could not move nor flee from their position. He scraped his throat and gazed over the duo before asking;<br/><br/><b>''Who is you? And whut is you hangin' in our fo'est? ''</b><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
