Re: Through the Trees

Severa unwrapped the clumsy bandage that once was a good part of her skirt. Visible where two small punctures right at her shoulder, and around it were swollen green veins stretching along the length of her arm and smaller ones reaching down to her chest and across toward her neck.

"I was lucky," Severa murmured, wincing at the sight. "If I'd been bitten in my left shoulder I'd probably be dead by now."

"Woah, I've got to sit down," the world was starting to spin a little and Severa quickly sat down on a fallen log.

"Augustin, if you've got any magic plants, now'd be the time to use them," she said softly, almost too weak for a bit of sarcasm.

Augustin sat down near Severa. "Let me see it."

He carefully took Severa's arm, and slowly stroked in the little scars. He put some powder onto them, and slowly massaged it into her skin, while he muttered the charm.

"See, it's getting better" he looked up to Severa's eye. It was strange to see the girl after a battle. He wanted to heal her as soon as possible, he didn't liked to see her distressed.

"I need to see you neck to heal it" said it to Severa, distracted.

Severa sighed as Augustin massaged some strange powder into her skin, it was like instant relief for her arm. She slowly clenched and unclenched her arm, finding that it worked just fine.

She nodded at his comment and unhooked the brooch keeping her right sleeve up, being sure to keep the fabric up to keep her chest covered. With her left hand she unhooked the clasp of her necklace, completely showing her neck. It felt strange not having the weight of the necklace, it felt almost vulnerable.

"You know, if you wanted to this would be the moment to kill me," she noted. "But you're not like that. You're too nice for your own good Augustin."

"Good job, the two of you," Ainia said emotionlessly as the creature writhed died by Severa's hand.

She leaned against a tree and watched silently as Augustin healed Severa, feeling quite impressed by the Pegasus' knowledge on herbs and charms.

The Amazon chuckled at Severa's last comment, "Don't say that, Saturnina. A true warrior would only want a fair fight. A victory gained by cheating is a victory without honor."

Ainia glared at the bushes when she heard some distant rustle.

"Be quick, Augustin. It'll be excellent if we can all get out of here alive before more of them shows up."

((The masquerade avatars are giving me a funny picture of everyone fighting in ballroom dresses... Shocked

...XD))

"Ainia is right, that would be totally unfair" he answered to Severa " But you know, I wouldn't kill you in any place or time" Augustin smiled.

He carefully, but a little fastly massaged the yellow powder, which was left to Severa's neck, and muttered the charm again. When he finished, he stood up.

"You can put back your necklace now" he told the girl, guessing how much it signify to her.

"Let's go!" Augustin offered his hand to Severa, to stood up easily.

((I was just thinking about the same thing. But it would be awsome xD))

Ainia kept her weapon at the ready just in case.

"You guys walk in front. I'll walk behind you and watch our backs. Be gentle with her, Augustin."

((lol XDDD))

Severa granted him a small smile. "I know you wouldn't." She fastened her necklace, the one arm still sore and unwilling, but manageably so. So rolled her shoulder, glad with the feeling of relief going through it.

Severa moved to walk behind Augustin. It was pointless to pretend she was fine, and lies like that would only work in their disadvantage, so she allowed herself to take up the middle, still rolling her shoulder and forcing it to feel like it did before, gripping her gladius tightly in her left hand.

"I have no idea where we should go," she admitted, the battle had left her disoriented. "So I hope one of you does."

((I thought that a while ago, it doesn't help that Sev doesn't look like Sev anymore D8 ))

He tuned back his head, looking at Severa. "We should go back" he answered "Or at least out from the woods."

Severa looked a little strange. She was never so disoriented. And he was pretty sure that it wasn't the fact of the battle. Probably the sores?

He kept walking in silence. He had no idea where is he going, he just stepped where his mind said to. He looked at his arm. The scars almost disappeared until now. It was great. They could fight like a kind of family.

From that Augustin just remembered to Severa's dagger, which he still keeping in his hand.

"I just totally forgot about this." he handed to the girl "Thank you for it. It helped me a lot" he smiled.

"Augustin," Ainia called out, sounding a little irritated, "I hope you know where you're going."

They had been walking for awhile but they didn't seem to be out yet. And the occasional rustles from the trees and bushes were starting to get on her nerves.

Augustin looked up "See the Sun? It's at the west, and we have to go to north, so we're going to a good direction" he answered.

"But if you would like, then i can fly up, and have a look" he offered.

by **Septima Severa** Thu Oct 14, 2010 6:23 pm

Severa looked at the sun, frowning. "I should have known this, I don't know what's the matter with me," she was getting quite infuriated with herself. She wasn't some amateur, she was a well-trained warrior for the Gods sake!

"If the sun is nearing the west than it will go down soon. I think it might be best for you to have a look anyway, be sure. The Gods know what kind of tricks might be sent our way," she said, though she admitted to herself that half of the speech might simply be recovering her pride, so that she sounded like the had things under control.
