Abobad walks over roots and ducks under branches, warning Braxev of them. After a while of walking he asks," How long have you been awake today?"

 

[PenBlade1326]

"I awoke at first light, so I'd say...I've been awake for about 13 hours. Why?" Braxev asked, letting go of a low-hanging branch he had just ducked under.

 

[Lance C]

" I don't want you to be too tired, we will continue moving and the next clearing we come across we will sleep. It will be a few hours, how are you feeling so far?" Abobad asked.

 

[PenBlade1326]

"I feel fine. Not really tired...but we can make camp if you feel like you need to rest." Braxev offered, actually needed a chance to just rest for a while.

 

[Lance C]

" It will be better for both of us to rest. Walking through all this for miles can be quite taxing." Abobad replied as they continued. He kept his eyes open, watching their surrounding." I see some blue plants coming up, do not touch them. They are quite poisonous and cause a genuinely unpleasant rash." He warned.

 

[PenBlade1326]

"Understood." He replied. "And yes...once we come across a good spot for a camp, we'll stop and I'll build a fire."

 

[Lance C]

" Until then, it might be a good plan to find a topic of discussion if you do not enjoy the quiet. Is there anything you'd like to discus?" Abobad asked.

 

[PenBlade1326]

"Typically I don't really talk much unless it's with other scholars about scholarly matters...I haven't had a casual talk in years." Braxev said.

 

[Lance C]

" I am always happy to learn of scholarly things. I am not terribly good at conversation myself. There is quite a bit of loneliness in my profession, Many people have me moving things rather than people themselves." Abobad admitted.

 

[PenBlade1326]

"Hmm. Perhaps I can teach you of such things, then. Maybe in return you could show me how to properly handle a sword? My magic has always proved to be my only source of defense."

 

[Lance C]

" That I can do. If you are willing to learn, I am willing to teach." Abobad assured." And of course vise versa as well. Learning is not something I am often able to do outside of survival."

 

[PenBlade1326]

"Of course. Maybe we should make camp here?" Braxev suggested, pointing out the nice spot they were in, under a tree, protected from rain if it were to come down and safe from any poisonous berries and whatnot.

 

[Lance C]

" We can do that if you wish." Abobad replied.

 

[PenBlade1326]

Braxev nodded. He then gathered some wood and placed it in a chosen spot. He snapped his fingers, and a fire was instantly let on the wood. "Well...now we have a fire, at least."

 

[Lance C]

Abobad smiled," Indeed, may I ask about your abilities?" He asked.

 

[PenBlade1326]

"Oh, you have questions? Ask away." Braxev replied, sitting down by the fire.

 

[Lance C]

" I am not educated on magic. How did you obtain it? Where you trained to control it professionally or otherwise?" Abobad asked, sitting across from him.

 

[PenBlade1326]

"Unlike most others...I was born with my gifts. No explanation why, I just...was. Most children have their first words by the time they're 2 years old, but I was setting things on fire and making birds explode on accident. In time, as I aged and matured I simply learned to control is under my tutor, Chanda. Chanda was a kind soul, very smart, inspired me to use my knowledge to become a scholar. Hell, he even made me discover I like men! Oh, the times we had once my tutoring was through..." Braxev goes on, smiling and chuckling at a few memories. "But soon after I mastered my power, I was introduced to mage hunters...they're not friendly. Hunters killed Chanda, as well as my sister, and a few of my friends." He rambled. "So to answer your questions...born with it, tutored by the late Chanda." He said.

 

[Lance C]

" Ah, well it is unfortunate that you have lost those close to you, my sincerest apologies for your love. Very interesting where your powers came from. I am glad you found a calling despite." Abobad replied after listening quietly.

 

[PenBlade1326]

Braxev smiled and nodded. "Thank you...and I'm surprised you haven't deemed it impossible to be born with magic." He said, chuckling. "Might I ask you a question, now?" Braxev asked.

 

[Lance C]

Abobad nodded," Indeed you may."

 

[PenBlade1326]

"I've given you some of my back story...might I ask of your own? If we're to work together, I'd prefer to know the man I'm working with." Braxev said, warming his hands over the fire.

 

[Lance C]

" Ah, well as I said before I was raised in the forest. It was just me, my mother and elder sister, out there in the trees. They taught me to hunt and survive in the forests, showed me paths most did not know about, so on and so forth. After my mother passed away from illness my sister and I parted ways. She stayed in the forests and I became a mercenary. I have mostly been asked to transport things across great distances, Occasionally I am asked to protect someone. Surprisingly you are the first to request the transport of a person." Abobad explained.

 

[PenBlade1326]

"I see. I'm sorry about your mother." Braxev said sympathetically. "At least her teachings proved to be of value. Do you ever visit your sister?" He asked.

 

[Lance C]

Abobad nods," I have visited her once since I left. She can be difficult to find, more of someone you bump into than plan meeting with." He answers.
