The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 2 authors

The morning dew catches the light of the rising sun spectacularly, forming tiny rainbows, which splay across the ground, nearby. Beams of sunlight filter through the scattered trees, creating something of a surreal scene before William, who sat quietly on the ground, his back pressed to a tree. His sword lay across his back, the sheath touching the soft ground beside him.
The sun played across his armor, as well, casting reflections of it's many contours and angles upon the trees, and the ground, as well as giving his armored section a sort of glimmering quality, which only served to add to the other-worldly look to this area. He always enjoyed coming to this place. This particular section of forest had remained widely untouched by the ravages of man, throughout the years. It's was a natural beauty; a beauty becoming something of a rarity, given the ever-expanding presence of mankind.
William's eyes are closed, his face devoid of emotion as he breathes deeply, and evenly. There was hardly ever a care to be had in Ivalice, since the people had been freed from the evil that had beset them some years ago. Remnants of the great war still exist, today, but more as monuments than as scars of the past.
Here WilliamDavis sat, and here he would remain, for now; an unspoken hero of old, seeking only the solace of a quiet moment's rest.

Despite William's desire to simply rest, his mind continued to race with questions, which burned in the back of his vision. He sighs as he pinches the bridge of his nose between his thumb and forefinger. It was all too much. He HAD to know what was going on. With a slight groan, William rises from his seat, turning towards the direction of where the voice had originated. Unfortunately, the trees blocked his view, making seeing the woman impossible. William inhales the fresh air, deeply, sighing, refreshed, before making his way towards the voice, which had gone silent, for now.
Hopefully, she would still be there, when he arrived.

Was the woman in trouble? The Jouste was home to several creatures, and not all of them friendly, he knew. She could be in grave danger, given the pained scream he had just heard. Redoubling his pace, William grasps his sword from his back, bringing it from it's sheath and into his hands just as he reaches the clearing next to the river, and stepping out, into the open close to where the woman was, looking wildly about for danger.

She glared at the book trying her hardest not to yell. She gave a nice long sigh but it didn't help. She was still really pissed. So, she decided to toss the book away, unknown to her that she accidently hit some one.

He hadn't meant to alarm the woman, and he certainly hadn't expected to be assaulted("booked", one might say). Still, being a six foot five inch tall man coming from out of nowhere, all whilst brandishing a sword while garbed in armor probably hadn't made him look too friendly. "Hold on, a minute! I'm not gonna hurt you!" The woman seemed to be in no danger, that he could see. What, then, had she been screaming about? William berates himself for not finding all of the facts before rushing in, and waits for her to calm down and realize that he was no threat to her.

"If you aren't going to hurt me then throw your sword and remove any other weapons and armor," she said, "That way I know for sure that you are not armed. Though that doesn't mean you wont be dangerous."

He tilts his head as he continues to watch her. "Forgive me. I am William Davis, and I mean you no harm. I did not mean to startle you, so. What is your name..? And, if I may ask, what was that scream that I heard, earlier?"

William smiles softly and bows towards the woman. "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Lady Evans.. I hope that I haven't put you off of your studies. I had been resting some distance away, you see, when I heard your scream. I feared that there was danger, nearby, and that you were in need of my aid, which is why I came so quickly." He bows his head, again. "I apologize, again, for my intrusion. I'm more than happy to leave you to your work, if you so desire." He wouldn't mind watching the youngling practice, but he would also not feel right inviting himself along for the ride.

She was certainly an odd one. Why would she travel all the way out here without any protection of any kind? It boggled the mind, and demanded an answer. "If you don't mind me asking.." He would take half of a second to uproot his sword, bringing it around to sheath it behind his back. "..why come all this way unescorted? Don't you know how dangerous it could be, what with all of the fiends still running about?" He would leave out the fact that most creatures that could feel his presence chose to keep a wide berth. Even though he spent much of his concentration on keep his power under lock and key, animals' senses were far keener than humans'.

Regaining his composure, William smiles softly at Melody before finally replying. "Well, I can't as much say I know of anyone who meets such a.. vivid description. Should he happen nearby, I'm certain he'll be discovered and dealt with in a manner most severely.. surely, a beautiful young woman such as yourself wouldn't be interested in an affair as dark and dangerous as revenge.."
The last thing he wanted was for this young woman to get herself involved with something that she could not finish.. it had become clear that she was only just beginning her studies of magic and their workings; how could she be expected to track down a supposed evil figure and defeat him? If William wasn't so hard-pressed to believe that such a man even existed, he would offer his own services. But, the situation being what it was, it would be a far safer venture to convice Melody that it was not in her best interest to seek revenge, and to just go home..
