Gravis Warhammer gestured at the blanket, talking to Muketsu. "You're looking a little lost, there, care to join us?" he called out, before turning towards Calnot, head bowed in deep thought. "I believe you should be on the way to Antongrad if you carry on up the path through the forest. Although I may be incorrect, I'm not too familiar with this area. Perhaps one of the ladies...?"
Muketsu inclines her head and gives a little shrug, joining the others. "I do happen to be lost. I seemed to have taken the wrong path. Then again, I don't remember where I was going," she says softly. "I've had my head in a book all day." She lowers her gaze and then gives another shrug, looking around.
Kana reached behind her head and laughed softly, a nervous edge to it as she addressed the scaled man. "I believe if you go... Um, if you follow the path you should find Wing City... Eventually. I'm just not entirely sure as to which direction it would be. I never really care about where I'm going when I run about here," she admitted.
Gravis Warhammer shrugged slightly. "As I said, I'm not too sure. Although it could be one in the one direction, the other in the other. Regardless, you're welcome to join us while you're here, as long as neither of the ladies object." He turned then to the others, addressing Muketsu. "That happens to all of us, and I'm among the worst."
Muketsu sniffs at the air for a moment and then shrugs. "I cannot tell the difference nowadays," she says and sits down. Her legs protest a bit at the sudden end to her walk and she smiles momentarily before looking around the small group.
Kana lets herself drop to the blanket as soon as the other woman sat. "I know nothing of an Antongrad, but I'm not discounting it's existence or that it might be on one end of this path. Like I said, I'm horrid with directions as I don't use them myself," she repeated. As she sat, she tried to peak under the 'old man's' cowl out of curiosity, trying to be subtle about it.
Gravis Warhammer noticed the subtle glance towards his face, and, smiling just a little smugly, tipped his hood back, revealing the face of an 18-year-old, and straightening noticeably at the same time. He tossed his cane to one side, leaning back against one of the trees, legs crossed. "So, is anybody hungry at all? Thirsty?"
Muketsu brushes her blueish purple hair out of her face and shakes her head. "Oh... no thank you," she says softly as she pulls her legs underneath her and relaxes for a moment.
Kana watches the scaled man warily, refraining from growling at him. At the question of food, images of various game flashed through her mind, making her mouth water. "Um... No, thank you." Kana sprawled out on the ground, streching and twisting for a moment before curling up and staring at the man. "So, why the pretense?"
“
gwar: Well, I'm about as not jailbait as jailbait can get, lol. 17. Muketsu: Just wondering, where do you live?
”
Gravis Warhammer nods to each in turn, drawing his flask from inside his cloak and taking a swig, the odour of strong alcohol emanating from the flask while it's open. "I find it easier to keep it up. Back where I'm from, I'd be fairly well-known if I didn't; I've been around for a while."
Muketsu nods for a moment and then pulls herself from her thoughts. She had gotten herself lost in her thoughts again, cursing herself lightly. "Pardon... I wasn't paying attention, my thoughts distracted me," she says softly.
Kana tilts her head as she really looked at the other female for the first time. She smelled familiar. Hmm. Turning back to the man as she realized he'd answered her question. "I can relate, I guess. I just don't hide. Those I hang around don't care either way," Kana remarked, staring up at the man as she spoke and well after, spacing out.
Gravis Warhammer squatted down, looking up at the sky in silence for a moment. "For me, that's a long story, and most of it would make little to no sense. At least, not unless you understood my - peculiar - nature." He cocked his head to one side, seeming to listen to something. He paused for a moment before standing abruptly. "I must apologise for this rudeness, but I must leave. It's been a pleasure meeting all of you, and I hope we can talk again." He nodded briefly to each in turn, his body slowly turning transparent as he collected his cane and books, finally disappearing entirely.
Gravis Warhammer strolled casually up the path, once again seating himself on a log beneath one of the evergreens. He carefully set his staff down behind him, dropping his hood back and leant against the trunk of the tree, breathing in the fresh air.
Kana stretches with a yawn, looking down from the branch where she was perched to a familiar man as he leaned against the tree. Wondering whether she should change back to her human form or have some fun. Deciding to have some fun, she yawns loudly before resting her head on her paws and looking down at the man while flicking her tail lazily back and forth.
Gravis Warhammer tilted his head back, opening his eyes to look up at the sky and instead staring into the face of a tiger. Startled, he jumped quickly from his position, spinning and tripping backwards over a loose stone, falling sprawled on the ground beneath the branch.
Kana grinned widely as she watch the man trip over himself in surprise. She always had quite a bit of fun scaring the bejeesuz out of people every once in a while. Pouncing down from her branch, she tried to figure out how to approach him with making run for the hills and opted to just sit and watch him for a while while trying not to chuckle, a wholly disturbing sound when coming from a tiger.
Gravis Warhammer regained his composure, pulling his hood back up and standing, brushing himself off. He took a tentative step towards the tiger, his hands slowly weaving a spell to try and help him identify whether it was a real tiger or not - having seen very few around, his suspicions got the better of him.
Kana watched warily as the man seemed to be doing something the made the air taste strange. She growled softly out of habit before cutting herself off and just backing up a tad. She looked at the man strangely before turning around to search for her clothes, going from tree to tree. She knew she'd left them somewhere around here...
Gravis Warhammer stopped gesturing as the tiger moved away. He shook his head, murmuring to himself. "It must've just been an ordinary tiger. Stop being so paranoid, you fool." Then, leaving his hood up he went and sat back down in the same spot as before, settling himself back against it.
Kana , after finally having found her clothes, changed back to her human form before realizing she was an irritating distance from the original tree. Grumbling to herself, she began to walk back, tugging on her clothing along the way. When she recognized the tree in the distance she stopped grumbling to herself. Slowly walking up to the tree, she snuck around it, trying to sneak up on the man childishly. "Nice to see you again," she said suddenly, smiling widely as propped herself against the tree.
Gravis Warhammer cracked open one eye, then recognising Kana as well, opened both, returning the smile. "And you too. We do seem to keep running into each other here, don't we? Although I'm not complaining, of course." He paused for a moment, looking around for something in the trees. "As a word of caution, you may want to watch out - there was a tiger around here a moment ago, and I don't know if it's friendly or not."
Kana tried desperately to contain her laugh for a moment as she regarded the man before bursting into a complete giggle fit. After a few moments, she finally contained herself as she looked up. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to laugh. As far as the tiger's concerned, I know her quite well," she said, an ironic smile crossing her features briefly, "And I'm sure she would have caused you no harm. She was probably just playing with you." She chuckled softly as she sat down on the ground near him.
Gravis Warhammer hurriedly removed his cloak, spreading it out for her on the log and standing, offering her the seat instead. He looked at her quizzically. "How can you be so sure? I've never been able to find animals all that easy to communicate with, myself. Although, admittedly, my talents lie in...other directions."
