Odd Encounters

[Ricia]

"I know..." Rhea said quietly, "I know... but I owe my parents that much.... call it a childish fantasy.. I am just scared." Rhea admitted, defending herself a bit, tightening her hold on Soki and Sky.


Roen got up and move to sit behind Rhea and pulled the girl in his arms with the little ones.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Zek sighed "i think you'll find someone you love, and he will be a lucky guy, and you will have kids and Aria and Roen will have babbies too."

 

[Ricia]

Rhea smiled at Zek, "I wish it were that simple... its hard to please everyone. I want to make my parents happy and proud of me."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"look if they love you they will be proud no matter what," Zek said.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea looked away unsure what to say to that. She was never sure if they were proud or not. Who would be proud of a runaway daughter?

 

[InsaneTruth]

Zek looked at her and pouted he put a hand on the ground and when he lifted it flowers bloomed under his palm in an attempt to cheer her up.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea smiled softly at the follow, "Thank you. Things will work out." She said nodding to herself.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Zek nodded "I think so,"

 

[Ricia]

"Think Shania is ok?" Rhea asked, lightly touching the follow with a finger, wondering when the wolf would get back.

 

[InsaneTruth]

shania padded up and transformed to herself again panting "about 30 yards out is a good cave with a river next to it, best I could find alot of the terrain out here is not too good,"

 

[Ricia]

"Oh, you almost worried me." Rhea said quietly, "Glad your ok, should we get going?" She asked the girl happily standing up and holding Soki to her.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Shania shifted again and nodded.


Zek picked up Skysong "lets follow the big puppy."

 

[Ricia]

Rhea followed Shania till they made it to the cave and she took a quick look around the area, "Are we staying in disguise or are we falling out of it... and how long are we going to be in disguise?" Rhea asked, though she leaned down to check if the water was drinkable.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"We'll stay in it till we are out of Varric, that way we have very little chance of getting caught," Zek said and sat down.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea nodded "Fair enough." She said as she sat down a huddled Soki closer to her. She was definitely tired, all of the nights worth of walking. Only a few hours of rest more likely before getting up and walking again.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Roen anre you and Aria ok? it might be harder to travle two legged," Zek asked them


Shania sat down and scratched a flea but when she saw Rhea she laid be hind the girl letting her rest in her fur.

 

[Ricia]

"I am fine. I just look human, but I can walk for miles and miles more. Though it is slow going walking." Roen said, watching Rhea thank Shania and snuggling closer to the girl while huddling Soki to her. "How was your first half day of travel?" Roen asked with a grin.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"A bit tiring... I am not used to traveling witout magic or this long without stops," Zek said and looked at Rhea and Shania "I will learn to travel longer as we go," he promied and sat down.


"I sort of like this my body is really soft though," Aria said

 

[Ricia]

Rhea smiled and mumbled half asleep, "We all start somewhere." She said quietly.


Roen huffed a bit, "I personally find the scales on a dragonelles neck to be the most attractive part. Humans don't have near long enough necks."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Aria smiled and nuzzled Roen "We'll be ourselves soon," she told him.


Zek blushed a bit at her obvious affection. Skysong sat in zek's lap happily drifting off/

 

[Ricia]

Roen smiled and wrapped his arms around Aria, a motion he had seen many times. He could get this human stuff down, though he was blushing and looked a tad flustered.

 

[InsaneTruth]

They rested most of the day though Shania got up to go hunt once bringing back a big buck after eating they set off though Zek had asked Rhea to ride with Skysong and Soki to help them stay on as they dozed off. "We should hit a town n about an hour," Zek commented 'we should get supplies there,"

 

[Ricia]

Rhea did ride per request of Zek, though she was worried she would be a bit heavy for Shania. She sat in front of Sky and behind Soki so that she could hold Soki up while Sky could hold on to her. "We don't have much in the way of money, though we have a few of Roen's metals."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"We have my robes," Zek pulled a stone off "pure sapphire," he smiled.


Shania rolled her eyes and sneezed oddly it sounded like 'show off'

 

[Ricia]

Rhea laughed quietly at Shania, "That great, as long as you are ok with it Zek. We do have money, just not a lot of it. We usually travel light too. No need for bed rolls because we sleep well on the ground, We have milk for Soki and we hunt for our food. Our cloths are fine and we have no need for fire starters. We have salt and curatives for preserving things and a bag and maps... I really don't see what we need." Rhea said naming off everything they had. "We travel light to stay fast. I guess we can use some water... I think that is the only thing we are lacking in."
