Harmonious Jade groaned as the her taller, bustier coutnerpart chattered constantly away in a voice far to piping and cute to have truly come from an amazon a head taller than she and twice her weight in sheer muscle and femenine curves.<br/><br/>Was it only twice?  The constantly babbling redhead surely outweighed Harmonious Jade's head with each breast.  Her autumn leaf red hair was just as long as Jade's raven black, held in a top knot by a green sash whereas Jade bound hers up into microbrades with collorful cloths.<br/><br/>When she'd been exiled from Nexus do to the treachery of her First Age incarnations true love, and having failed to assasinate one of the strongest Salamin demon-summoning priestesses, Jade had been in a mood so foul...<br/><br/>Well, she wasn't sure what she'd almost done, but since then she'd had to resist the urge to drill the amazon twit throguh the eye every few seconds.<i>Why by all the pits of the Yozi's did she attach herself to me?  It must be a trap, "Well, we share the gift of the unconquered sun, and we happen to be going in the same direction.  Come on, Jade, pllllleeeeaaassse?"</i>And the pine green eyed girl had fluttered her eyelashes, causing the chocolate skinned girl's golden eyes to narrow dangoursly.<br/><br/>Finaly she rounded on the larger girl and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Why must you be so infernaly<i>cheeful!</i>"<br/><br/>The giantess burst into giggles.  "Really, Jade, if you wanted a bit of peace and quite, why didn't you just ask?  As to why am I so cheerful, why not?  Isn't life more fun when you're having a good time?  The sun is bright, the trees are green, there's adventure ahead.  I could brood about the monsters lurking behind every corner, but where would ge the fun in that?  Really, Jade, I have to ask you, why do you insist on being so unhappy?  Don't you get tired of it?"<br/><br/>Golden eyes started at the redhead incredulously.  Finaly she turend around and said, "Whatever, mad woman.  Are you coming?"  She strode down the wall and the redhead crowed in delight as she skipped to catch up.  "Why do you keep calling me that anyway, my name's Yume, and I'm not mad."<br/><br/>"You're an earth and sky martial artist," the choclate skinned girl replied.<br/><br/>Yume giggled again.  "We deal in Whipser-tea to silence the voices in a madmans mind.  We teach discipline, peace, and inner ballance to overcome fear and frustration.  That's what earth and sky is about.  Only about half of us are mad.  My parents are mad, but they've been on Whisper Tea so long you wouldn't know it...  Well, with dad you wouldn't know it, mom has her moments, but I think she's just letting off steam and having some fun and getting away with it because everyone knowes she's mad."<br/><br/>Before Harmonious Jade could groan again, the encoaching sound of wheels grinding up the road drew their attentions away from each other.<br/><br/>Harmonious Jade backed away a bit, afraid that the powerbow under her cloak would be noted.  Yume turned and ran alongside the wagons at a respectful clip, bouncing up alongside the driver who'd adressed them.  "What's going on?" she asked.
