Daca'li Molkoh · **10-05-2013, 03:25 AM**

Daca'li pressed back against his seat as the new Seeker entered, brows raising curiously as he studied his form. A scowl steadily slid it's way across his face before turning his green eyes out to the dirt below. Fantastic...more of these sun-loving hypes...Daca'li sighed before his ears perked at yet another voice coming into the fray; an elezen that apparently thought she was late. He eyed the woman from his seat, shifting about and making his armour click, "I don't see why not..." He muttered the words, gesturing to the brown haired elezen, "I think the driver is already preparing to depart, so you might as well hop on," he tapped his foot and inclined his head back then settled into his position.

An epiphany struck him at that moment, brows raising nearly into his hairline as something crossed his mind, "seven hells, I nearly forgot..." He reached into his pouch and pulled out a small pot. He set the pot beside him before sliding his gauntlets from his hands, setting both beside him as well before picking the pot back up. After popping the top, one could easily tell that it was a paint of some sort that was black in colour. Quietly, the Keeper began to hum as he dipped two fingers into the pot, rubbing his index and middle finger about to coat the tips of his fingers. Slowly, he began to paint the substance along his face, painting intricate symbols along the ridges and contours of his visage.

Clavier's hand gripped onto the railing of the cart as several passengers stepped alongside him and up into the cart his eyes shifted to examine each individual passenger. Merely giving a nod and a short, 'Good trip to all of you.', starting to take a step up onto the cart he turns around to look at the Elezen running up with alot of huffing and puffing, his own hand raising up to motion the driver to hold for a short moment as he dropped down on the very beginning of the cart bench - his right hand held out to her "Come on. Just in time."

KieairaKitty · **10-05-2013, 09:33 AM**

Kieaira's ears perked up, and she lowered the satchel ever so slightly until her nose was peeking over the bag, her gaze shifting towards the Elezean woman. Oh thank the Twelve! She lowered the bag a bit more. "There's a seat here." She said softly, nodding towards the seat next to her, her pale blue eyes taking quick glances towards the Seeker male every few seconds.

"Everybody in, we have a schedule to keep!" The driver's voice cried out. "Our first stop will be Black Brush Station, so I hope everyone went to the bathroom before they got here. It will be a quick stop to drop off some cargo, and pick up any other passengers ... I don't want everyone hoping off when we get there. We'll have a rest break at Camp Drybone, around lunchtime, so try to hold it until then. Got it?"

Kieaira nodded, obviously the driver wouldn't see it. She opened her satchel and pulled out a small wrapped sandwich that she had grabbed before leaving the Quicksand, something to tie her over until lunch. Slowly she placed her bag onto the floor, unwrapping the sandwich and taking one of the triangles, nibbling on the corner lightly, as they waited for the last two to climb in so they could be on their way.

Lorielle Sylwood · **10-05-2013, 04:32 PM**

The winded Elezen looked as though she could faint with relief. Â She looked up at the Hyur offering his hand to assist her. Â She lifted her hand, pausing just for a hesitant moment, before taking his hand and climbing upon the cart. Â She had hardly regained her straight stance before a Miqo'te girl offered her a seat. Â Lorielle, being very shy and often very anxious in social situations, was beyond grateful. Â She smiled sweetly, a thin streak of her teeth appearing between her lips. Â She settled herself into the vacant space, crossing her ankles and settling her hands in her lap to take as little space as possible.

She allowed herself to breathe a soft sigh of relief, and took a moment to reassure herself that she had indeed made it aboard the caravan, and would not have to move again until they made it back to Gridania. Â She looked to the back of the cart, staring out at the dirt and sand under the early morning light. Â Ul'dah was certainly her least favorite of the three city-states. Â It was far too hot, and she had gotten sand in more places within her clothing than she cared to think about. Â But, she had to give it some credit, as the market was exciting.

She looked from the cascades of sand to the male Hyur sitting at the very back of the cart. Â He had raven black hair, and looked a bit...damp. Â She was not one to judge. Â If she could be soaked to the bone in cold water now, she would be delighted. Â Her gaze then turned to the Hyur who helped her aboard the caravan. Â She had gotten a good enough look at him when boarding, and obtained any knowledge she could have gained by appearance alone. Â He seemed content, and his relaxed state helped her feel secure that they were safe in the caravan.

Next her eyes fell on the three remaining passengers, all Miqo'tes. Â The girl beside her seemed very shy, and rather nervous. Â This was someone she felt she could relate to. Â Maybe later in the ride, Lorielle would try to talk to her. Â Wishful thinking,Â she thought to herself almost immediately after. Â Across from her was another Miqo'te, tan, dressed from neck to toe in black leather. Â She had seen the female Miqo'te glancing worriedly at him several times, but Lorielle's only concern was that he would melt beneath the desert sun in his clothing. Â The final passenger she would be sharing the cart with was sitting nearest to the front. Â He was the one who first spoke to her when she asked to board the cart. Â He was currently smearing paint upon his face, and although she would have liked to watch and see what the finished product would look like, she felt it would be better to mind her own business.

After assessing the state of her travel companions, Lorielle looked forward and leaned her back more comfortably into her seat. Â Her bright aquamarine eyes took on an orange gleam as the sun climbed ever faster into the sky. Â She could see pink hues cast upon everyone around her, and felt that her already red cheeks would look as though they were radiating. Â She hoped no one noticed, and assumed no one would.

X'ahce had remianed quiet for the most part as people boarded onto the cart and even closing his eyes a little before the Elezen had begun to grow close to the cart. Though once she had managed to reach the front of the cart and asked to board, he'd open his eyes and look over to her, noticing her eyes first before her timidity next. Smirking subtlety, he'd look across from him to the Miqo'te that was seeming.. Shy. A Keeper female this timid? Strange.

If she were to look to him, he wouldn't hesitate to lock his eyes with hers before looking to the Keeper male beside him. The facepaints were not an unfamiliar quality the Miqo'te adored, but the design was something he'd find more interest into. Glancing briefly to the right to notice the Elezen sit down, he'd look back towards the city. Noticing that female Miqo'te had decided to leave, a smile would appear on his features. The last thing he needed was constant nagging from a woman. If he wanted that, he'd get married.

Leaning back, he'd wrap his arms around his abdomen while his head leaned back and his eyes would close once more, comfortable in the heat of the sun, but ready to get to be in Gridania.

Nirri · **10-05-2013, 06:11 PM**

Lowering his back against the railing at the very front entrance of the cart a sigh escaped him as he merely gazed out to the gates of Ul'dah with a somewhat relieved expression. "Finally leaving this place behind me.", the dark green irises concealing themselves behind his eyelids, softly humming to himself. A wooden bow resting on his lap with a singular arrow as if preparing himself incase the journey took a turn for the worst.

KieairaKitty · **10-05-2013, 06:30 PM**

Finally the last person was boarded, the gate raised and the driver clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth, and gave the reigns a good shake to get the chocobo's moving. The cart creaked slightly and rocked a bit as it started to move, causing Kieaira to fall against the front of the cart just enough to cause a flush to come to her cheeks.

She steadied herself and took another small nibble of her sandwich, glancing from person to person. She was so greatful to be sitting next to the only other female on board, but as luck would have it, she seemed just as shy. The driver began to hum softly, the day had begun, the sun lit up the area, bringing with it, the familiar heat of Thanlan.

Kieiara finished one triangle of her sandwich and let out a small sigh, it was going to be a long day, and there wasn't much room on the cart, she was looking forward to the stop at Drybone, but that was still several bells away. She glanced at the Seeker once more, giving him a bit of a stare for a brief moment before turning her gaze back to the other female. She forced a small smile, seeming uncomfortable, but she was determined to make friends ... at the very least she wanted to break the awkward silence.

"H-Hi...." She said softly. "I-I'm ... K-Kieaira." She forced another small smile, her eyes shifting so as not to meet the gaze of the other woman, or anyone else for that matter, though she managed a glance at the males, trying to notice if anyone reacted to her name. Stop being so paranoid, no one here knows you ... They're going to think you're some sort of shifty thief or something! She silently scolded herself.

A'sih · **10-05-2013, 11:59 PM**

Once the cart began to move, he'd sigh in content knowing he's making progress to Gridania. Though his ear would twitch once he heard the female Miqo'te's name. 'Kieaira?.. That's not a traditional Keeper name?' He opened his eyes and looked towards Kieaira once more. His own curiousity getting the best of him for the moment as he studied her carefully to make sure she -was- a Miqo'te.

Perking his eyebrow inquisitively, he'd keep his eyes calmly on her, glancing occassionally to the outside of the cart to watch the scenery go by so as to not seem he was -staring-. Though once more he wouldn't hesitate or glance away if she looked to him. He will, however, offer a smile if she sees him, granted she doesn't dive out of the caravan and run screaming due to her own timidity towards Seekers (( He doesn't know she's timid of Seekers in particular, that's just my OOC humorous note :D))

Daca'li Molkoh · **10-06-2013, 12:27 AM**

Daca'li glanced back into the caravan as he continued painting his face, only half noticing that most of the males on the cart were all catching eyes with miqo'te girl. He offered a sigh to himself, mumbling something incoherent before finishing the paint on his face. Curved lines under each eye that branched out and disappeared into his hairline on the side of his head. Three small triangles decorated his nose, all of equal proportion and beginning at his lower lip, two thick lines slid along his chin before coiling up onto his cheeks. With his painting complete, he fitted the lid back onto the pot once more before sliding it back into his pouch.Â

He offered a glance at the rest of the occupants, ears twitching at the mention of the miqo'te girl's name; the name -did- raise a bit of intrigue, as it wasn't a traditional miqo'te name. Instead of searching for her gaze or staring awkwardly, he simply shrugged and slid from his seat, moving himself to the edge of the entrance to let his legs dangle just above the ground.

Tobias Nightbringer · **10-06-2013, 05:25 AM**

Tobias, like some of the others, remains silent as the events begin to unfold amongst the group of travelers after he had spoken to Kieaira. His attention was briefly placed upon X'ahce when the Miqo'te settles down next to him, simply giving a once-over with darted eyes, though he studies X'ahce's bow a little longer.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The soft whimper from the female Miqo'te, however, would not go unnoticed by Tobias unlike his words to her were. Though, a feminine cry from a ways causes his attention to shift again from Kieaira before he could pay much else to her queer reactions.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Clavier. His courteous gesture would be met with a nod in return from the damp haired Hyur. Tobias would notice another bow, this one strung across the other Hyur as he greets an as of yet unknown passenger that cries out for allowance onto the shrinking size of the wagon. The spear of the other male Miqo'te--a change of pace from the sticks and strings. However, it was Daca'li's seemingly methodical face-painting that Tobias would watch; but as short as his attention span on any given individual seems to be, so did his eyes slip from the Miqo'te Keeper to the surprisingly short stature of an Elezen woman that comes into view.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Be it if Tobias were known for one consistency, it would be his perception of when gazes were set on the svelte and lusty Hyur. Charcoal shaded eyes met with the intriguing blue-green hues of Lorielle. The darkness of his irises nuanced enough from the pitch black pupils. If there were any other features to those dark orbs, none would have been able take note as Tobias' fickle attention turns elsewhere, though the parting glance slip over the rest of the short Elezen's unique features.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Despite the passengers and cargo, there was enough room for all to have their 'bubble' so far. With that knowledge, Tobias stretches and raises his arms above his head to their full extent. His chest swells and rises slightly from a languid inhale as his spine curves, causing the already defined collarbones to be exposed just a bit more due to the low v-cut of the Hyuran Tunic. He holds his position for a moment as long, full eyelashes start to touch together as a glance is aimed underneath Kieaira's seat.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Out of the men, he carries nothing of notice to defend himself. Despite the lack of weaponry, an equally languid exhale displaces an air of tranquility as he slides down into a casual posture.

KieairaKitty · **10-06-2013, 01:44 PM**

Kieaira gently bit down on her lower lip, hoping she could distract herself from her irrational fears by conversing with the Elezean woman. As she waited to see if she would respond, she took a moment to look over the other travelers. She wasn't sure what to make of any of them, but she was in no rush to get to know them, especially the other Miqo'te.

She glanced at Clavier and gave a nervous smile, he had been nice enough so far, though she had been a bit put-off by his friendly gesture earlier when he had placed his hands on her shoulders ... she was always weary of such attentions. Her gaze than shifting back to the other Hyur male, a curious look in her eyes, but she would quickly look away, hoping he wouldn't notice as her attentions turned back to the only other female aboard.

Tobias Nightbringer · **10-06-2013, 05:25 PM**

Tobias' half-closed lashes lift to expose the man's dark gaze as Kieaira stares at him inquisitively. Perhaps unfortunately for her, just before she can fully escape a connection of unspoken words, the corner of her eyes could catch the indecipherable reflection in the calm Hyur's stare. His head was lowered just an ilm so only partial of his orbs were revealed to her. Once and if she finally broke gaze, his eyes would settle back to close.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The scent of lavender wafts lightly in the air around him as gloved fingers slide through the raven strands that fall loosely as bangs over his forehead. The slight shake of his head causes his hair to shuffle loosely about; another small burst of lavender again permeates from the Hyur. No doubt the delicate fragrance comes from oils that were used during his rather refreshing dip into icy waters before his arrival. The razor straight hair was fully dry by now, though due to his hurried situation, a bit of fly-away sways carelessly from the slight breeze that passes over the wagon.

A'sih · **10-06-2013, 06:03 PM**

X'ahce furrowed his eyebrows slowly as he found nothing else of strange nature coming from the Miqo'te.. Perhaps she's using her nickname.. But there's absolutely no way she's already comfortable with the crew to be so fond of such an informal greeting.

He shook his head, looking upwards to the scenery to detatch his growing curiousity. Looking to the others, he'd find the Hyur who's hair had seemed to finally dried out, but now the strong smell of lavander filled his nose now that he was paying attention to the man. A strange, yet quick, glance was given to the man as to why he smelled like garden. Closing his eyes briefly, he'd open them and look to the other Hyur.

The male had come across as a bit more affectionate at best and perhaps the most comfortable one here. His eyes darted over to the Keeper male, noticing the markings that were almost fully finished now. Truth be told, the accuracy of his drawings without a reflection was rather impressive. He'd clear his throat quietly and speak in a deep, yet clear voice, "Well done on the marking, by the way. You seem quite practiced in applying them on the move."

Having his bow in his lap, he'd shift it so the top corner of the bow and the string rested on his knee at an odd angle that managed to stay there and not fall off. Without any direct reasoning, he'd reach to his quivver and take out a square block of wood that was a little bigger than the shaft of an arrow. Withdrawing the dagger from his right sheath, he'd rest the block on the opposite knee and tilt it downwards as he slid the edge of the blade along the corners of the block, fletching it into something else in the meantime. He'd also make sure he was cutting it downwards and away from anyone else while holding a non-threatening attitude about it as if it was a hobby of the sorts.

KieairaKitty · **10-06-2013, 08:51 PM**

Kieaira's nose twitched, as she turned her attention down to the sandwich, she wrapped it up once more and bent down to place it back inside her satchel to save for later, as she sat up her nose wiggled a few more times, her eyes scanning the others before stopping on the Hyur male seated across from her, this time she would not look away if he were to look back at her.

Her lips parted slightly, and nose twitched again. "Ah---" Her eyes closed and her head fell back. "Ah--" She inhaled sharply, before finally letting forth ... "Ah-choo!" A loud sneeze, moving her arm up to cover the sneeze with her sleeve, so as not to spray the others. She sniffled and twitched her nose again, as she peered back at the Hyur once more. "S-sorry..." she mumbled, sniffling a bit more.

Daca'li Molkoh · **10-06-2013, 10:49 PM**

Daca'li blinked at the mention of 'markings', his ears twitching as he turned his head to look over his shoulder. He stares a moment before nodding, "I've had a lot of practice," Daca'li murmurs as he looks forward once more. "Sometimes a rival tribe of Keepers may wander upon us and take offense to me and my family being in 'their' land...so sometimes, in order to invoke the full power of the moon...you have to be able to apply the paints as soon as possible and under stress." Daca'li nods before reaching to his previous seat, taking hold of his gauntlets and sliding both back on. "Though I imagine," the Keeper starts with raised brows, "my tribal warfare is nothing in comparison to the large tribes of the Seekers." He glances over his shoulder once more before settling his eyes on the female miqo'te, then the male; his ears twitch.
