Kaz popped an eye open, smelling the tempers flaring. "Hey you three, I spent years in battle along-side many that got post-traumatic stress disorder afterwards, scarred for life. But do you see me bragging about something as futile as that? In this context, do you really think that bringing something up like that could achieve anything? Calm down."

After calming down a moment himself and closing his open eye, Kaz spoke again. "So you're here, Tisea. You plan on staying, or what?"

we're not even allowed INTO the city anymore, and that's where they keep all the supplies. in the city isn't quite as bad as out of it, in most situations. anyway, you still haven't said what you're here for. all you say is that you like annoying people. that's hardly a job-jepordizing motivation."

"Well said Kyo, And even more to the point: Teisa I dont think you have a clue what is going on," Reev said and then noticed immediately the look of scorn Teisa shot at her. "I dont mean to offend but the 'joys' you saw us facing today are probably about as good as we're going to get. We're embroiled in something thats taken more lives than you can imagine. I've already gotten two people, well three," she said looking at Kaz with a mild blush, "caught up in this with me and you'll pardone me if I am not anxious to draw in a fourth. I am not looking to add the weight of guilt for another life, should you lose yours."

Reev realized she was doing it again, running off at the mouth, stopped talking. Teisa was standing there a looking a little dumbfounded. Kaz broke the slience by clearing his throat and expelling a little smoke in the process. "Reev, I really think that's her decision to make and aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself?" "Her decision? I think its more like our decision. Are we just going to tell every stranger we meet what's going on? I mean that's pretty stupid if you ask me," Kyo interjected. "Who asked," Xaenai replied, just to annoy Kyo.

Reev sighed and replied, "Either way, I am glad we inspired or induced you thru our actions to leave your tyranical general slash leader behind. If you'll excuse me... everyone, I really need some sleep. Let me know whats come of things when I wake up. Oh and Kyo, I'd like to point out something about this whole bossing you around thing: Who sent whom up to open the gate?"

With this the sylph took wing for a breif moment, not waiting for his reply and lit upon a solid branch of one of the nearby trees. In nearly a fluid motion she laid down upon the branch, limbs and wings hanging over either side, and eventually fell alseep to the sounds of talking that went on into the night. Though she never acted like she heard Kyo's response, nor any of the talking that transpired that night, she did hear most of it.

"Huh. Interesting point..." Tisea muttered. Why was she here? Oh, right. I'm a common sense-less clod, she thought sarcasticly. "Look, I know why I ended up here, and you probably wouldn't even if I told you. So we'll just leave it at that, eh?" She studied them.

Xae was curious in spite of herself. She didn't really like the girl, but she was interesting and having a target other than Kyo might be fun.

Kaz nearly said good-night, almost appologetically, but thought that it might have been out of place. He closed his eyes again, trying to fight against redundance and achieve inner peace, taking a deep breath and unintentionally releasing some more smoke.

"Reev is right. We're waist-deep in something. I don't know about the others, but if you want to join us and endanger your well-being, you can be my guest. I can deal with the weight of burden on my shoulders and will feel no guilt if you fail to defend yourself against whatever will undoubtedly come after us. Just know that."

Without looking, Kaz was unable to guage the reactions to this. All there was was silence.

"Well, on that note," Kaz said standing up and grabbing his sword, "I'll be going up as well. You kids mull it over." He jumped up the branches until he was high enough in the tree so that there were still large enough branches to support him and so that he was able to see the ground, his protective impulses becoming apparent, which he noticed and shrugged off. He then found a comfortable spot and mindlessly stabbed Ko Kasai into the trunk for safe-keeping. "Dang... I have to stop doing that."

Tisea kicked at the dirt, beginning to actually think things through. She could go back to the city, but then she'd get punished for snubbing the general like she did. She didn't relish the idea. She could stay, and then she wouldn't get punished but she could very well get killed. She didn't relish that though either.
***
Xae poked Kyo and said softly "I bet ya she'll stay."

Reev didn't know how long she had slept, but when she awoke she felt completely refreshed. It was still dark and she thought she could hear the others still talking, however, her mind was elsewhere. She tested her arms and they had recovered well, but her head was another matter entirely.

The blows to the side and back of her head had only left bluish bruises, the color of cobalt. Though she could not see them, she could feel the tenderness there. The one on her forehead had turned into a nice mouse and that she could feel. It had swollen to the size of an actual mouse. Touching it shot a warm feeling thru her that made her feel dizzy and sick to her stomach, so she stopped. Speaking of her stomach, it growled for hunger. It was too dark out for her to try to hunt up some food with the moon completely hidden behind the same clouds that had soaked them during the day.

She fished thru her cloak, which she had draped loosely over hersylph as a blanket and pulled out the three scrolls she still held. She decided it might be a good time to try to read the other two. Using the same power and same technique she used to summon powerful lightning, she summoned just a spark from the tip of her index finger. She held her other digits in like she was pointing so they wouldnt spark as well. With this as her light, she figured out which one was the sylph portion of the dragon spell and returned it to her cloak.

The next scroll was in a human language she did not know. They had made so many of them in such a short time and Reev had never managed to keep up. There were sylphs that did, many in fact, as most sylphs were enamored of the human's creative ability and would seruptiously speak to them and try to influence their music, paintings and dance, as they lacked the ability themsylphs to create such things as well as humans.

Reevengaofar however, was not that sort of sylph. She neither hated humans nor thought of them much as she rarely interacted with them and found them annoying when she had in the past. Unconsciously she had thought of them as lessers, but it was not a thought she was aware of. Her current companions had done little to change this opinion of humans, but they had been helpful to her.

They had saved her life in fact and that had meant something to her, something deep which she couldn't explain even to hersylph. It had begun to make her consider them equals, but there was more to it than that. After staring at the scroll for a while, trying to decypher it, she gave up and put it away as well. Maybe one of the three humans could help shead some light on these in the morning, assuming the latest one stayed. Reev doubted that she would, but humans had been suprising her lately.

She turned her attention to the last scroll. This one she had known what it was when she first saw it. It was a map, but a spell of some type made it unreadable. Along the top, the only part that was legible, there were glyphs from several different languages strung together and she began trying to piece together their meaning. Now that Reev felt realitively safe she was able to study it more freely.

After a few minutes she got enough of it to tell it was a riddle and that the riddle would solve the map. Part of the tip off was that the last character written was the endive one for question. This peaked her interest even more and she continued, so focused on what she was doing that an explosion might not of broken her concentration.

[This may get a bit messed up since two time-lines are going on. I'm assuming that the human's one is still the former one, though, but it's possible that they're just happening at the same time and the two in the tree's perspective of time is skewed due to sleep/lack thereof.]

Kaz was nearly asleep sitting on the branch when he saw a light in the trees on the other side of the clearing, unlike the soft glow of the campfire down below. "Must be Reev. I wonder what she's doing..?" He thought of some way to get her attention...

He yanked off a twig with a leaf on the end and put it in his mouth, lighting it on fire. He held it in front of him, waving it around. "Psst. PSST." The sylph apparently occupied with something, he looked around in the tree for something else to get her attention, snuffing the twig and dropping down below.. His mind muddled by near-sleep, instead of jumping over, he decided to climb down the tree. He climbed on the opposite side of the camp fire as to not get attention of the humans. He grabbed a couple stones of different sizes and headed back up to the branch with his sword nearby.

He took aim at the small light and chucked a few pebbles, hearing them rattle down the limbs in the dark. No effect. He decided to use a slightly bigger rock this time, a small river rock with the diameter of a medium-sized coin. Rather than going directly for the light this time, Kaz aimed for above it, hoping to make it plop in Reev's lap.

He tossed it and waited, and instead of hearing the satisfying thunk of a tree trunk, he heard a thud followed by the light going out and an audible, "auuugghhhaaaaawww!"

"Uh oh." He tried to keep his cool and layed down on the branch to feign sleep incase she tried looking for him. Cooling down and deciding to actually fall asleep, he could have sworn he heard a snicker somewhere else in the tree... He shrugged it off though, thinking it the rustling of leaves and fell asleep.
