"I'm Tara." she said patiently. She frowned a bit. She wanted another drink. It egged at her subconcious, and it made her irritable. Time was so cruel to her.
She didn't know how to deal with others anymore. It was bothering her..
She frowned a little. "A friend of mine is being interned in a camp." she answered. "..I need to go get her back."

He pouted a little, not the kind of macho thing to do but he didn't care
"Aww man, that is so sad.....I'll go help you if you want......If it's a camp then there's gotta be more than just one person so i figure more numbers you have, better chance for her to be freed..."
He pauses a moment to think of something NOT stupid to say.
"where is this camp? when shall we leave for it?"

"It doesn't matter to me. We're going to find a place to stay for the night, and then we'll go in the morning."
She pushed back her hair. God, it had been a long day..

"Sounds like a plan to me...."
And as if on que a lound grumbling noise was made. Kougi turns a slight shade of pink and laughs a little bit; trying to mask the shame
"uh....wonder what that was..."
He takes out his dagger and goes over towards the tree and starts cutting thin slivers of bark off and laying them on the grass. It makes a loud thud. He drops his things on the floor and starts looking around and takes these rocks and piles them in a circle. Then he goes searching for moderatly sides hunks of wood and drags back, with what appears to be, great difficulty
Laying the wood in the stone circle and ramming the bits of bark in the sides, as if it were kindling, he points his finger at the fire
Now remember, be gentle. this is a campfire, not an evil man
a large fire burst from the fire whilst he is bent over it and thusly begins to start rolling around on the ground. When he gets up there are black charcoal marks on his face....only thing not appearing to be smudged with blackness is an odd looking blue tatoo across his eye

She sighed. "I'm going to town." she said, walking back on the main path. She was about ten minutes from the town. There was no reason to camp outside.

He tilts his head oddly
"Um, miss tara, why go to town? it's so far.....oh. Right. Town's have inns and they're much safer than outdoors. Gotcha."
He picks up his things, stomps out his fire with great care so he does not set himself on fire......again.....and follows her
"Wow a city, i've not been in one in quite some time. Do you know the area well?"

She was already irritated with him. She wasn't a good babysitter.
And he shouldn't need one, but he acted like he was five.
"..I live here, yes." she answered. "Like almost everyone else in the area."

He shook his head and stomped out the campfire with his boots. He squinted a little, he could feel the heat even though his boots. It took a little, due to the fact that if one didn't extinguish a fire properly, forest fires could occur.....then he'd be blamed for yet another thing.....
afterword he walked right up to tara and kneeled down a little to get to eye level with her
"Alright miss tara, i dont get it. I know i am a little wierd but there is no reason to friggen be snippy with me. Look, i'm sorry if i aggrivated you, i do that sometimes to people. It's unintentional....look man youre bleeding and your tired as hell, do you want me to give you a piggy-back-ride into town? or can you manage?"

Tara made a face. "..I'm 23 years old. I can take care of myself." she answered.
She was bitter because she was tired. She'd also been carried around.. in a less kind way.. for a majority of the day by Cael. She really just wanted some time to herself.
"I mean, you can't just expect everyone to be goofy and excitable just 'cuz you are."
She brushed past him. "I hardly know you. Don't act like I should."

Kougi stopped and touched her shoulder
"i know i just met you miss tara but you're obviously injured and obviously to the point of collapsing. You've got freaken blood stains on your back. So just accept some godamned help, not everything in this world is out to kill you..."
He said with an aggrivated sigh
"I dont care if you're 23 or 203, when people are injured they need help, so drop the tough girl act before you pass out and die......i dont know what's hurtin you miss tara but i can assure you it aint me and i intend it not to be"
He contines to walk with her, taking his hand off her shoulder

"If you touch me again I'll break your arm." she answered bitterly. Stupid kid..
Her eyes returned to the path. She was fine. Really. There was nothing to suggest she wasn't. She wasn't bleeding that much, she was just tired..
She lit a cigarette, keeping on the path.
"I prefer to keep my problems to myself." she said, exhaling the tar and nicotene. "If you let me do that, we'll get along fine. I don't need a protector."
She let the wings explode from her back again. A few feathers dropped, and she moved back a bit from the force.
"..that'd be why I'm bleeding." she said. She retracted them herself. It was a gift and a curse. She hadn't meant for them to come out like that. It wouldn't fare well if it happened in town.

his eyes widen for a moment or two, speechless at the sigh of wings shooting out of someones back
"The hell was that!? Damn....sheesh....And i didn't say you needed a godamned protector. You know someday with that push everyone away attitude you'll end up all alone and you'll only have yourself to blame....."
Noticing the cigarette he said as a tangent comment "You know those things aren't good for your health right?...."

"Neither is smart talking strangers you don't know the pasts of. Just stop it." Tara answered. They were getting near the gates.

Kougi was silent a moment or two
"Touche, Tara. Fine. I'll be quiet now...."
They approach the gates and he coughs a little. He truly loathed smoking but after that little comment he dared not open his mouth, on pain of death.

She stopped at the gates and gave her resident id.
The keeper there was a young man named Leonard who never quite understood how to relate to anyone except himself. His eyes were constantly on the ground, and he didn't really wash well.
He was a nice guy, though. Tara disliked his interest in her chest, but sometimes she thought that was just an obstacle of her view.
He wore a painter's cap. She dared not ask why. She was nice to him, but she didn't want to make friends.
"Where do you live?" he asked. Every day he asked..
"Block seven." she said dully. He scribbled it down.
"Name?"
"Tara Price." she said. He nodded, writing that too.
"Who's this?"
"A friend." she said. "He's visiting me."
He nodded, and let her go past, pulling past the gate. She went inside, keeping silent until they were in the town.
"Because of the bandits who keep raiding towns, everyone's under tight security." she explained. Her cigarette fell and she stepped on it. "Don't tell anyone you don't live here."
