Chargraine(Charg) Foehammer glances over as she is finishing getting "dressed", watching her strap on the long, strange garb that covered her entire body. "You go to great lengths to hide what you are.. but I wonder if it isn't enough. Sven was able to tell what you were purely by your height and facial structure.. but, then again, he's been around Scylla more than most."
Averna nodded slowly, sighing as she moved her hair to cover her ears. ¨It is a weak gamble... but thankfull most do not think of a Scylla when they first see me. It is barely a disguise, but it is enough for now.¨
Chargraine(Charg) Foehammer nods, still walking on the long path. He wasn't sure where they were going, or where they would wind up, but he knew that Sven would be able to find them as soon as he contacted the Ifrit. He nods as she finishes her explanation. He remains silent, but speaks after about a minute. "Averna.. I've been wonder about something."
Averna turned and looked at him, her black eyes focussing on him as she looked down at him. ¨And what is that, Chargraine?¨
Chargraine(Charg) Foehammer he half-turns his head towards her as he stops walking. "Why did you choose to save me..? Why not just let me drown? I could have been a threat, for all you knew. A hunter. At the very least, I was a stranger, and of no consequence to you. My death would not have even directly affected you. So why save me..?" One had to keep in mind that Chargraine was a mercenary, at heart. Though he, generally, had more of a conscious than, say, Belias, he would, generally, never get involved unless he had stakes in the outcome of a situation. Random acts of compassion were beyond him.
Averna smiled then, slowly, but it was indeed one of her genuine smiles. ¨I just... did. You know when something inside tells you that you should do something, and you do not say no, you just do. When you jumped, I just had to go help. I wanted to help... because on the inside, something told me I would not regret it.¨
Chargraine(Charg) Foehammer continues on in silence for a brief moment. "You may, yet.." This path was rather long, and winded up the hill as it acted to avoid the harsher terrain in favor of a smooth walk, albeit longer than the straightforward path. "We should rest, a moment, and decide what we're going to do, next."
Averna wobbled to a stop, standing, the aclohol was moving affecting her system easier.. ¨How would I regret saving you? You are not going to do me any wrong, are you?¨
Chargraine(Charg) Foehammer sighs as he places his forefinger and middle finger upon the bridge of his nose, squinting. "Not intentionally, no.. I have a tendancy to keep bad company, though. The longer you stay around me.." He pauses, sighing softly before continuing. "the more I fear some harm will come to you." It was true, for the most part. A mercenary was not known to hold many friends of high standing, after all. Only other mercenaries, and Chargraine was no exception. Belias was the closest thing he had to a friend, besides Averna, which said a lot about his character.
Averna smiled softly. ¨Do not worry, Chargraine... I can defend myself. Even if I do not know the full extent of how much I can defend myself or what I can do. But do not worry about me Chargraine. YOU will not hurt me. If it would set your mind at ease, I would prefer to meet this man named Belias, and prove myself.¨
Chargraine(Charg) Foehammer shakes his head. "I wouldn't wish it upon you, myself. He may be only a man, but his resources exeed even my own, and the Ifrit. if he did not succeed in capturing you, he would certainly try and kill you. I'm not sure.. what I would do, in that situation." Such a scenario would be a conflict of interests. While he had his own code of morals to uphold, which included the preservation of sentient life, wherever possible, he also had certain.. "obligations" to Belias, and standing against him wasn't something Chargraine wanted to think about.
Averna began pacing then, though her face was straight. It was rare she let emotion seep into her features, and she was not showing it now. ¨Sooner or later, I am sure he will become aware of my exhistance. And when he does, and I am on my own... It is only a matter of time Chargraine.¨
Chargraine(Charg) Foehammer shrugs as he starts walking, once more. "Then, I suppose, I'll just have to keep you in my sight, won't I?" Wait, what did he just say..?
Averna stayed put however. ¨You cannot always watch me Chargraine... And perhaps, if I meet him I can give myself a chance. A chance to make sure that he does not harm me.¨
Chargraine(Charg) Foehammer stops and turns back to face her. "By doing what.. killing him? I have no doubt that you can defend yourself.. but, even so, I can almost promise you that you wouldn't come out of it, unharmed. There are better ways."
Averna shook her head slowly. ¨I do not wish to hurt him...¨ She said, ceasing her pacing, before turning to head back. ¨I am rather sick... of running from the inevitable. I think it about time I actually face something.¨
Chargraine(Charg) Foehammer blinks as she turns to begin heading back towards the lake. "Hey, wait a minute!" he takes off running after her, stopping just as he passes her, standing in her path, his hands raised before him as he looks up at her face. "This isn't the way.. face the next thing that comes up."
Averna tilted her head down, black eyes so deep... ¨The other one is invisible, and may be watching me as we speak. And he throws weapons whenever he pleases... Now again. I think I will meet Belias. Whom I can see, whom I can speak to.¨
Chargraine(Charg) Foehammer doesn't budge. "You're going to try talking with him..?" He hadn't thought of that.. He shakes his head. "And what will you tell him, exactly? 'Hi, I'm a rare species of a race of beings who just so happen to be hunted for large amounts of money, nice to meet you'?"
Averna stopped rather reluctantly. ¨I do not know exactly what I will say, but when I get there, I will know what it is that I must say. I can not run from everyone, only those whom I know could cause trouble in my day to day living. If I can befriend one, my life will be a little easier.¨ She then started moving again, going around him.
Chargraine(Charg) Foehammer frowns as she walks around him, heading back down the path that they had already traveled so far along. He sighs as he follows behind her. "I never took you for the confrontational type.."
Averna fiddled with her gloves, her only sign of nervousness. ¨Neither did I... But I am sick of running from everyone who wishes me harm... or ill will. It is about time I stand up for myself I think.¨
Chargraine(Charg) Foehammer holds his hands out in front of himself. "Alright, alright, but we're not going just to start a fight, remember..? You only want to talk." He glances over at her as he comes up alongside her. Something told him that he would be forced to choose sides, today, something he hated to do. At that moment, he was unsure of which side he would choose..
