Snippet #2213262

Rivers lets out a sigh as all three members of the group respond to him indignantly, for a second he wonders if this is what it felt like to be Lara, but then he decided decided trying to escape into this line of thought was feudal. He started with Shade and smiled a courteous, polite and perfect smile. It was a smile that people could only put on when they were truly upset.

"Shade, if you are all about freedom then you shouldn't be scolding my sacrifice. You chose to fight the dwarf to help me, I chose to take up a contract to save you. It was my choice, I don't expect anything from you for it, and that includes a leacture." He says stalely and shifts his eyes to the crow. "A contract with the Morrigan will give you far more combat muscle than the wind sprites ever could I'd suggest getting someone to teach you magical swordsmanship if you want to get stronger." he suggests a pressure pulsing from him, Rain would recognize the magic, it was the right of a fatewalker, the power of coincidence. Though it didn't seem to be directed at anything right now.

Next he turns to Neil with a frown. "Wild magic isn't controllable, that's why they call it wild. Working on your incantations isn't going to get you anywhere. *sigh* Spirits." he says uttering the last word as if it were a curse. "Just ask Dekar about it when you get back, he might know something. Well if you can't do it youself, get Rain to take the collar off me and have her be your keeper, that would do the trick. I already made my bargain anyways."

Then he turned to Rain a small smile spreading across his face and his eyes filled deeply with something dark as he leaned down closer to her. "If you want his physical form back feel free to remove the collar. I will not be shackled by the guilt or obligation of someone else's choices. If you are going to start ignoring Renji and crusading against Fate would you care to tell me how you are going to do it? To my knowledge the main way would be to try and destroy the world since that is what it tries to deserve." He says.

"Now my princess who fancies herself a knight, what will you-"

However before Rivers can finish the sentence he finds himself suddenly on his back staring up at the sky. Behind him Dekar stands with a discontented frown on his face as he turns to the group then looks back down at Rivers. "This is why kids are a problem...they all think that their issues are the center of the world." he complains. There was a gapping gash on his left arm that seemed to be sewed up with pure light, and numerous cuts covered his body. Kessel sat by the fire with several cuts of her own along with a large number of bruises, Alexis was tending to her with a frown.

"Get some food and some sleep kids, when you wake up in the morning you'll feel better. We can talk then." He says walking over and sitting next to Kessel, saying a few thing to her. She scoweled at him, but the expression soon relaxed into a gentle smile, and he laughed as she said something to him. Then he took some stew that had been cooked at some point and began eating, the rest of the group gathering around with smiles on their faces.

On the ground Rivers eyes had already closed and he had fallen asleep, apparently the interuption draining the last of his stamina.
