RE: Meetings in the Wastes [Closed] - Illira - 03-15-2015
Cypress wriggled against the cloth binding that refused to catch fire and simply burn away as it should have. As these undead should have. Why it was not the custom in these southern cultures to cremate their dead, she did not understand. Her strong arms were not enough to break that which had wrapped itself around her. "There is no where they can go that I will not find find them," she spat out to the world.

The Tia on the ground writhed and clutched at his arm, groaning.
"Perhaps, but you will not be finding them again today." Megiddo paced around Cypress again, and the cloth loosened. Once Thal was on his way, Megiddo did not believe the blind woman would be able to catch him on her own. "I apologize, but while your pursuit of the girl has been informational to me, it is rather integral to my interests that you not succeed yet."
K'aijeen, curled against Thal as he carried her away, sobbed. She was more burned than ever now, her body seeming on the verge of falling apart. "I told you he'd kill me. She'd kill me. They all want to... I didn't do anything but they don't know."

She could breath easier, without the restriction of the cloth wrapping its way around her torso and arms, "Do not think you will find yourself welcome at my side again, Meggido."
RE: Meetings in the Wastes [Closed] - Twinflame - 03-15-2015
"I never had use for welcome at your side, Cypress." The Duskwight smirked. "I sought to help you when it was permitted, but if you wish me gone, then I will leave you alone. Have a pleasant afternoon."
K'ile Tia finally sat up, holding one arm fast to his chest, shivering in obvious pain. Still, he glared at Thal's retreating back. "I hope the Amal'jaa... bah." He stood and turned toward Cypress, looking for the Duskwight he'd caught only a glance of. He was prepared to snap at him with words and violence, but the Duskwight was nowhere to be seen. Confused, K'ile turned his gaze about. "Where'd that old elezen go?"

"Sorry, kiddo," Thal muttered. "I'm gonna get you outta here. Don't worry about that." He ran as fast as his undead legs could carry them, leaving K'ile, the burning roegadyn, and the old man behind.

Smoke escaped from her mouth as Cypress took in a deep breath, recognizing that her wrath served no purpose here now. She pulled her aether back into her center, the cracks and fissures along her skin which served as a manifestation of it slowly retreated back below the surface. Along her arm, where the elezen's knife had cut, there was no blood, only what looked to be a cauterized wound. "He is gone by his own sort of magic."
RE: Meetings in the Wastes [Closed] - Twinflame - 03-15-2015
"Great. Everyone just ran off. The Lalafel too? What the heck." K'ile kept his arm pressed to his chest and paced in a circle, ears pinned down. "I ought to chase them down and finish them off. So much for helping the tribe, they're off into the desert! But not before they stole my shirt and broke my arm again."
RE: Meetings in the Wastes [Closed] - Illira - 03-15-2015
"They will be found again with time. That does not worry me." Cypress looked out blankly in the man's general direction, "I am glad at least, to have perhaps found someone who understands that those died should stay dead."
RE: Meetings in the Wastes [Closed] - Twinflame - 03-15-2015
"That shouldn't be rare." K'ile muttered sternly, his pacing stopping. "I had them chased out of Drybone by just suggesting they were dead. These people defending them must be after something. I don't even get why they're defending themselves."
RE: Meetings in the Wastes [Closed] - Illira - 03-15-2015
Cypress shook her, "Its too personal to them. They refuse admit the truth of things themselves so that they may cling harder to the lies." She stopped speaking then, considering what she had heard the man say before, "You said... Your arm is broken, will it be alright?"
RE: Meetings in the Wastes [Closed] - Twinflame - 03-15-2015
"I'll be fine if I can get to a healer. The shaman in my tribe can set it." K'ile gazed eastward. "I might need to return anyway. There's a force of Amal'jaa preparing to attack my tribe, and I need to ensure their peaceful surrender."
RE: Meetings in the Wastes [Closed] - Illira - 03-15-2015
"I... hope you do not mind if I follow." Cypress says, her jaw tight as her head casts downward.
RE: Meetings in the Wastes [Closed] - Twinflame - 03-15-2015
K'ile Tia looked the Roegadyn over. "The tribe hasn't lately taken kindly to outsiders... But I don't know if I'm jerk enough to leave a blind woman alone in the middle of the desert. Just don't tell them about K'aijeen and Thalen. Or the Amal'jaa. Or really anything that's happened."
RE: Meetings in the Wastes [Closed] - Illira - 03-15-2015
She nods understanding, "I have no reason to go speak with this tribe of those things. I will warn you, that that may not matter... Most lowlanders do not enjoy my company under any circumstances it seems. I just do not wish to be alone in an unfamiliar place without a guide. It... has not been very long since I lost my sight."
RE: Meetings in the Wastes [Closed] - Twinflame - 03-15-2015
"Eh... Sorry. That sounds pretty awful. You... uh... Hey!" K'ile took a quick few steps closer to the Roegadyn. "I'll tell you what. I'll let you follow me back to my tribe, and once my arm's fixed you can teach me that fire thing you were doing. Because I can do some things and I had plans to be able to do even more things but I don't think those plans are happening any more and that thing you were doing was impressive."
