-Jeriyu's Party-
Dawn broke over the forest and it became only a little more lit. The dense canopy provided a goodly amount of shade. Lila awoke smelling something cooking. She looked at the fire pit to find it blazing again and to see Jeriyu rotissere cooking a piece of meat. "Hey you really are resourceful. Is it...almost done?" Lila asked, her stomach asking with her. "Heh heh, you are an interesting fighter. It will be done cooking in a few minutes. Wake up Nienna, I don't want to, she might bite my head off." Jeriyu joked with Lila.
"Hey Nienna *poke poke* wake up, Jeriyu is making some food!" Nienna sounding like a child poking her parents on Christmas morning.
Nienna rolled over groggily as her eyes focused on her first sight of Lila smiling and giggling as usual. "Did he now, what is it?" Nienna asking a bit incoherently.
"Uhm...Hey, Jeriyu, what kind of meat are you cooking?"
"It's a wild boar, I went hunting this morning." Jeriyu turned back to the cooking meat.
Nienna sat up "You killed a full grown boar with that little knife?" She seemed nearly shocked.
Jeriyu made no comment, just took the finished meat of the stake and started slicing it. He put slices onto flat rocks that had clearly been washed using his personal water supply.
Nienna looked at the food pushed in front of her, "How do I know you didn't do anything to it?" Nienna 's suspicious side showing again.
"I'm eating it too, and Lila seems to be enjoying hers."
Lila looked up from her piece and gave a thumbs up to Nienna.
Nienna seemed relaxed and started eating. "Hmm, very nicely done, Jeriyu. You are a good cook, if your fighting is even half as good as your cooking then you should be a fun battle."
Jeriyu laughed again "Hmm and you two as well." He let out a cry, to both awaken Tarrae and see how near he was.
-Tarrae's Party-
*Howl is heard* *Poke poke* "Whauh?" Tarrae managed to get out opening his eyes and seeing Ageha poking him in the chest. "What's up Ageha?"
"I think I heard another cry from Jeriyu. It seemed pretty close. I bet there no more than a mile right now." Ageha seemed confident in her estimates.
"Is Serendice awake yet?" Tarrae wondered outloud
"No she sleeps pretty deep once she does go down."
Ageha laughed a bit at her companions sleeping habits. "That's good, because I want you to tell me more about yourself."
"Hmm. That's a bit of a tricky request. But I'll tell you the least sensitive stuff. I met Jeriyu when I was still very young. I had no parents and his family graciously took me in. We were raised almost as brothers. We got along great, we had very similar interests in fighting, but very different logics on it. We trained together for a long time but diverging in the way we trained. He honed in on his instincts and agility, I more on my strength and defense. When we were both very young, 12 or 11 we got drafted to fight in a war. We were both good, really good. We arose to be generals until we usurped power from our ruler. We didn't take power though, just took him away from it. We left our home forever and trained for 5 years, and here we are today." Tarrae somehow smiled after sharing his grim history with Ageha. "What about you?"
"Uhm, I don't really wanna share. I find it too depressing. Not to belittle your past, I'm just more sensitive about mine." Ageha seemed a bit embarassed and blushed. "Let's wake Serendice and move out to find your partner. Maybe he found the Nienna and Lila!" Ageha changed back to her stony face and just focused ahead. Going back to fondling the knife.
