The Winter Wonderland

[LT Sandpaw]

OOC: Okay, well Fiver is just making assumptions anyway.

[Wot, wot!]

OOC: oops! Thank you  Eul! Sorry about that, LT Sandpaw!

BIC: Night nodded to Fiver. "Sounds good. Ready to go back to camp, Stashi?"

[Eulaliaaa!]

Stashi nodded, limping her way to the camp and flopping over by the fire as she pulled her cloak around her shivering body. She stared at Night, giving her a weak smile, "Thank you for helping me, Night. I couldn't ask for a better friend." She mumbled, her eyes starting to close.

OOC: no problem, just pointing it out 

[Wot, wot!]

Night smiled. "Me too, Stashi," she whispered, feeling a bit tired too. She sat close by the fire, savoring the warmth and peace it provided.

[LT Sandpaw]

The sun was glowing bright on the chilled city, the port town was beginning to come to life as Fiver wound his way down yet another alley. He was beginning to wish he had just asked where the items were.

Racing down the alleyway he ran across what he was looking for. Allowing a rare smile to cross his lips he scooped up the assortment of belongings carrying it all on his back and in his paws.

Heading towards the gate Fiver lowered his head as he passed the guards, he noticed the worried looks on their faces and saw how tightly they were holding their weapons. They knew there was wolverines out there, they must have found the bodies of their comrades.

Once out of the city Fiver made good time and arrived at the camp quickly without incident. Seeing his two companions asleep he laid down the packs quietly and leaned against a tree waiting for the two to wake.

[Eulaliaaa!]

Stashi stretched, wincing and putting a paw over the wound in her leg. She opened her eyes, staring into the dying flames. She sat up, opening her bag and pulling out some cloth and herbs. As she bound the wound, she became aware of Fiver, "Looks like you found it. I'm sorry I messed up, I wasn't being careful." She apologized, quickly finishing the bandage.

[LT Sandpaw]

Fiver who had started to doze off jerked awake glaring back at the fox. "Hm, well I got it easily enough but no matter once yer ready we'll get going, and it'll be wise to move faster rather then slower seeing as there's wolverines hanging around."

Glancing around to see if any of the offending creatures were present before walking over and picked up his pack. He had already craved himself a walking stick and organized the gear.

"See if'n you can wake yer feathered friend so we can get going, according to your map we need to be heading North and a touch west." Using the morning sun he pointed out the angle they needed to travel.

[Wot, wot!]

Night yawned and stretched out her wings. "Have you been waiting long? I'm sorry about that; I could sleep for hours!" She said, blinking her eyes several times in an effort to shake off her sleepiness. "How're you feeling, Stashi?"

[Eulaliaaa!]

Stashi shrugged, leaning against a tree, "Oh I'm fine, let's just get out of here before the guards come back. I'd hate for them to finally catch me, they've been looking for me for years." She said, a small smile crossing her face, "So, let's go." She said.

[Wot, wot!]

"Good plan" Night said as she stuffed the supplies into a bag. "So, where to?"

[Romsca]

Brooks left the city without any of his enemies noticing him.

OOC: How close is the camp?

[LT Sandpaw]

OOC: Not to far I think out of sight but still close enough to get to quickly, I'd say about a mile out. But its up to Wot because she originally created it.


BIC: Pulling the heavy pack over his shoulder Fiver glanced at his new travelling companions. He didn't trust them and was ready to fight for his life at a moments notice even as he tied on his pack and adjusted a few things. He hid his true thoughts behind a mask of complete indifference, he was good at hiding what he was thinking or feeling, it was something that came with being an assassin.
"Were traveling north west, but mostly north so lets get a move on." Fiver said waiting impatiently for the other two too finish getting ready. A sudden thought struck him and he moved close to Stashi.
"I just had a thought and I need you to tell yer feathered pal, but after a couple days flying is going to get real difficult, lots of storms and such and they are endless, do ya think she'll be able to walk with us the whole way?"

OOC: I think they should stall long enough for Brooks to join them but its up to you two.

[Eulaliaaa!]

Stashi smiled, laughing lightly as she glanced back at Night, "Oh, we've been together since I was a young kit. I'm pretty sure she'll be fine!" She chuckled, wincing as she tried to take a step forward, "Gah, would you wait up while I make a crutch. I'll have to use it until my leg heals." She said. As she carved a crutch for herself, she kept glancing at Fiver. If she knew rats, they never trusted anyone like he trusted her and Night, there was something wrong with the way he was acting. She frowned slightly, She wouldn't kill him, she needed him to show her the way since she didn't know how to read a map. But this rat, she didn't trust him and wouldn't be surprised if he killed her in her sleep. She would have to exaggerate how good she was at survival, maybe scare and impress him with her Marlfox blood. Tell him of how they were magic creatures and she was a descendant of them. She glanced at Fiver once more, "So, where do you come from?" She asked, smiling slightly.

[LT Sandpaw]

Fiver gave himself a quick shake slightly caught off guard by the question. His life of solitude hadn't often given him the chance to just talk with anyone. As a result when asked by others even the most simple questions about his life Fiver could become defensive very quickly. Closing his eyes and counted before answering not wanting to anger his new traveling partner knowing he would have to deal with her during the entire journey.

"I don't come from anywhere, at least not anywhere I can remember, I was the equivalent of a slave to a lot of creatures. Not a lot of fond memories in my past. I have been moving around as long as I can remember." He got out at last, it wasn't completely true but it was close enough.

"How about you, have you lived in Huvin yer entire life?"

[Eulaliaaa!]

Stashi shook her head, "Huvin? No, I've been a traveler all my life. Never stopping in one place for too long, my parents died when I was very young. That's when Night and I found each other, she saved my life and I saved hers. Traveled together ever since, I learned how to steal stuff the way I do. I just take it and vanish." She responded, never looking up from her work, "You know," she said, "My mother wasn't a normal fox..." She said, looking to scare him with legends of the Marlfox.
