K'luha Haaz: Luha awoke with a start, sitting up abrupting from wherever she was in the carriage. She had been asleep since she fell asleep on K'ile hours ago. It was still dark, or perhaps it had already turned dark again. With a soft grumble, she felt her forehead and looked around.Â
"A dream..." she mumbled to herself, thinking about it. "No... a memory..." K'luha corrected after a moment's pause. Such a long forgotten memory. She hadn't thought of those days since... a very long time. Coming out of her daze was a sharp pain and Luha recognized it as her hip aching terrible. She reached into her pocket on her leg and pulled out a small mint leaf. She set the leaf beneath her tongue and let the soothing tingling sensation wash over her slowly while she tried to figure out night from day and her precise location.
*
Twinflame: Oddly awake in the middle of the night, K'ile was sitting on the back of the carriage. Either still sitting there or sitting there again. His ears twitch, but he doesn't look at K'luha, and he says, "Dreams are weird."
*
K'tahjha Yohko: Tahj's ears twitched and she stirrd from her sleep. Momentarily confusedby her strange surroundings it takes her a second or two to get her bearings. "Where are we?" she asked sleepily rubbing her eyes.
*
Twinflame: Quick to put of blame, K'ile muttered, "Uh oh, Luha. You woke up Tahj. Still in teh Shroud, Tahj."
*
K'luha Haaz: "Sorry Tahj..." K'luha mumbled lightly, hoisting herself to her feet and glancring around. Indeed they were still in the shroud but it was beginning to thin out and turn into more of a plains sort of area.
*
K'tahjha Yohko: Tahj yawned again and combed through her hair with her fingers, peering anxiously out the back of the carriage, she gave a short whistle and smiled when she saw Rhiki still trailing behind."Do you think he's tired yet? He's kinda old."
*
Twinflame: "I'm sure he'll rest when the chocobo pulling the cart rest." K'ile said, and flicked his tail at Rhiki to get the bird's attention. "Hey, you're fine, aren't you? Old but doing just fine!"
*
K'luha Haaz: K'luha mumbled something incoherent before streching out her arms and standing firmly. The tingling sensationw as enough to dull out the pain in her hip, so walking and moving was easy. Luah stepped up on the edge of the carraige before hopping off the edge and starting to walk alongside it. It was going slow enough that it wasn't a problem to walk with it.Â
"Gonna walk for awhile." she called out to the other two.
*
Twinflame: Before K'luha even got off the carriage, K'ile grabbed her tail to keep her on. "Do you have brain damage?"
*
K'luha Haaz: "Yes. My legs are cramped." Luha retorted, reaching behind her to bat at K'ile's hand so he would let go. She couldn't so much feel the pain of it being pulled on due to the tingling minty sensation.
*
Twinflame: Unyielding, K'ile snapped, "So sit back down and learn to do some stretches." He looked over to Tahj and said, "Help me out here."
*
K'tahjha Yohko: Grinning at K'ile, Tahj shrugged,"I'm tired of sitting too." Coaxing the large bird closer she sprang easily from the carriage onto his bare back.
*
K'luha Haaz: "See?" K'luha smirked faintly at K'ile and smacked his hand lightly again. "Unless I'm riding you like a chocobo, I am going to walk for a minute. Letgo."
*
Twinflame: "Tahj doesn't have a broken hip," K'ile said, "I'm too tired to carry you around, but I'm not too tired to break your legs and let this cart drag you all the way to the tribe by your tail."
*
K'luha Haaz: "Well maybe you should sleep then." K'luha sighed back at him, moving to sit down on the bench again if only to please K'ile at this point. "And goodness knows I will be dragged around or set to boil in the sun when we talk to the elder's anyway. K'ailia abandoning us, taking a week longer than we were supposed to, bringing back Tahj, and that other thing? I don't know if they'll have you broil, but I know I will be broiling under the sun again."
*
K'tahjha Yohko: Tahj frowns at the adults from her perch on the chocobo''s back,"Why would they be angry with you? Is it because of me?"
*
Twinflame: "They're not gonna be mad about Tahj," K'ile said, waving it off. "And they're not going to be mad about us running off for a few days. They'll get it." When he was done, he did turn to Tahj and say, "Luha's worried because nobody in the tribe knows we're bringing you back. But I think they'll be happy."
*
K'luha Haaz: K'luha stood again, frustrated at K'ile insistence that she was not allowed to move. "I have to walk." She pressed again, looking to K'ile this time. "Let me walk."
*
Twinflame: K'ile rolled his eys and said, "Fine. Hobble. Teach your new daughter that injury is an excuse to reject those who worry about you and insist on having things your way."
*
K'luha Haaz: "K'ile..." K'luha said quietly as if to keep it from Tahj's ears. "Shut your mouth." Came the quiet angry snap before K'luha pulled another leaf from her pouch and tucked it under her mouth. With that she silently paced the length of the carriage, getting some of her nervousness and aggression among other things as she walked.
*
K'tahjha Yohko: Tahj slipped off the bird's back to relive him of her weight, keeping up with the carriage easily."I'm thirsy, do we have any water?"
*
Twinflame: "Course," K'ile said, grabbing his back and pulling it over to pull out what like a canteen or something I'unno. "Can't go anywhere around Thanalan without water, much less the Sagoli. Chronic dehydration and you are going to be good friends!"
*
K'luha Haaz: K'luha continued to pace along the carriage, ignoring the other two for the time being. She shifted the leaves from under her tongue to chew on them instead.
*
K'tahjha Yohko: Taking a long swig from the canteen, Tahj closed it and tossed it back to K'ile,"Thanks." Hopping back up in the carriage she rummaged and found the apples taking one for herself and one for Rhiki. Holding one up she looked at the adults,"Want one?"
*
Twinflame: "I'm okay. Long as everyone else is up and about I'm taking one of the benches so maybe I don't fall out of the carriage again." K'ile said, standing and moving back into the carriage. "Rhiki can take over watching Luha!"
*
K'luha Haaz: K'luha muttered something that Tahj probably wouldn't hear, but sounded something along the lines of Rhiki not being a tease all the time. But the muttering was quickly covered up by K'luha clearing her throat loudly and moving to sit on the floor again. She looked to Tahj and nodded. "I would love an apple Tahj."
*
K'tahjha Yohko: Bringing the apples with her Tahj settled close to K'luha,careful not to bang into her leg, and handed her an apple. She began sharing the other two with the bird.
*
Twinflame: K'ile, despite his animated speech, was pretty damned tired. Maybe he really had fallen off the carriage at some point that night. He lay down on one of the empty benches and rolled to face the wall of the carriage, wrapping his tail up around his legs.
*
K'luha Haaz: K'luha's gaze softened somewhat towards K'ile. Just why was he so tired all the time now anyway? She felt tired herself, despite having slept so much. Perhaps it was because of her dreams of past events. Or maybe she was getting sick because of all the travel. Still, Luha took the apple and muted on it quietly. "Tahj, do you want me to show you more about archery when we stop?"
*
K'tahjha Yohko: Giggling at the bird who was grabbing apple slices from her fingers, Tahj smiled at K'luha."I'd like that."
*
K'luha Haaz: Luha smiled and nodded. "Alright. Next time we stop, I'll show you a thing or two and we can practice hitting some targets."
"A dream..." she mumbled to herself, thinking about it. "No... a memory..." K'luha corrected after a moment's pause. Such a long forgotten memory. She hadn't thought of those days since... a very long time. Coming out of her daze was a sharp pain and Luha recognized it as her hip aching terrible.
