"Most kind of you to offer. I would gladly join you for the night then, and surrender myself to your care to .. watch over me .. all night m'lady.." Smiling to Horo and eyeing her over unashamed, the ranger's eyes seemed to enjoy their trip along her body. The guards seemed to notice too, and before the man could follow through with his idea, one of them spoke. "Sorry, but Captain Sheva ordered otherwise." The guards seemed to enjoy their work, tying up the man fast, and securing him. Bit overly eager even, as they watched Horo a bit aside while tying the man up securely there. They pulled the man along, laying him to rest a bit away from the orcs, but close enough two guards could watch him at the time.<br/><br/>The female guard rolled up to rest near lady Sheva, sliding out of her armor for the night, but keeping her weapon up close, her clothing beneath a disappointment to the male guards, seeing her fully dressed even out of the protective gear.<br/><br/>Will's questions made the woman watching him grimace and sigh. "Our boss doesn't take kindly to failure, I am expecting a rather harsh treatment but it will remind me to not fail again. He's not the sort to do permanent harm, but he issues discipline as necessary. I have come to accept that." She watched Will warily, but then nod a bit about the armor. "I dislike being stripped like this but I suppose you did not have anything to cover me up with, and seeing how the underwear is still there and I don't feel particularily sore, I would say you aren't all bad, even if you are intruders. Can't say I'd expect the same to you all if things were different." Her tone serious as she spoke, but then thinking a bit. "I don't know how to modify that armor if that's what you are asking. I'm a mage-hunter, specializing in interrupting casters in battlefield usually, but yours is a bit too good at her concentration it seems. Orcs are numerous enough for a fight but not too lasting against magic so I was supposed to keep a caster from totalling them. Didn't expect to find this many folks around though, my failure was in failing to foresee this." Her tone again serious, and bordering on harsh. "Now, I don't know if you are going to allow it, but my head still hurts so I think I'm going to faint and rest a while."<br/><br/>While the evening was darkening though, one of the two male guards that was supposed to be 'sleeping' silently got up from his bed, heading towards where Horo was staying at for the time being. Given how the two guards had been intended to sleep till it was their turn to watch over the prisoners instead, that showed a fair bit of disregard for common-sense orders.<br/><br/>"Hey, enough space in that cloak to warm two?" The soldier smiled, his armor removed, dressed in a earth-gray shirt and dark pants beneath, his feet bare as he made his way from his bedroll to Horo.<br/><br/>((OOC: Anyone wanting to do something in the late evening still, please post it in your next post, after that, also please include what goes on at the morning, continuing along. ))<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/>The dawn of the first morning on the island came with the rise of the sun, the beach peaceful other than the splash of tide coming to the shore in a lazy rhytm. The ocean was empty of any signs of ships or otherwise in the distance, looking out to the endless blue.<br/><br/>The clouds in the sky were dark, a storm was coming but it would not hit the island that morning at least, it might be there the coming night, or the next day entirely, but it was rolling over little by little.<br/><br/>As the light of the dawn was greeting everyone, there was also a bit of noise from the orcs. Having stayed up late last night, they were now snoring loud enough that it was hurting the ears of the two closest guards, but they kept watch patiently still.<br/><br/>Growling in stomachs was also a common sign of folks being pushed to wake up. At least it wasn't raining.
