@Arthanus No problem, I'm trying to get a reply post out for Lyla and Org, but if it's not up by the time you're ready to post, don't wait for me.
@Noodles Yuck, hope you feel better
@13org No worries
I'm good. Nanami and Yui can flirt while on the move; Isbeil is still waiting for an answer from Ehri, but (assuming she says 'yes') the magic will take a little prep time, but it's something Isbeil can do easily enough no matter where she is.
Yui Ren



”The Gods gave you a talent, and it would be a waste if you weren’t using it to its full potential.” Yui said between sips of tea. ”Sometimes skill can out match experience.” She added. She liked to think of herself as a capable swordswoman, able to hold her own against most anyone; but after watching Nanami fight, she was less confident at the thought of a bout between her and the younger woman. She knew she was a bit more of a ‘strength over finesse‘ fighter, and she was pretty sure Nanami would simply run her ragged until an opening presented itself.

Yui found herself intrigued at the thought of an all-out sparring session, and got a bit lost in her own thoughts for a moment, but came back just as Nanami mentioned someone named ‘Riou’. Damn… From the pursed lips and momentary flicker in her eyes, whatever had happened hadn’t been good. Part of her was a little bit curious and wanted to ask what’d happened, but she thought better of it.

”Handsome, eh?” She chuckled, raising her right eyebrow in a completely over-dramatic fashion. ”Now, do you mean ‘here’ as is how did I end up selling my service for sovern and Stone, or ‘here’ as in the Irregulars?” She asked with an amused air about her.

”Well the second part is easy…”Setting her cup down, she shifted slightly and in a flash took Nanami’s free hand in hers and clasped it tight. ”Why for you my dear! I heard such tails of you beauty that I just had to come and see for myself!” She spoke with all the over-dramatic earnestness of the ‘Hero’ in a poorly written romance play, and moments later, released Nanami’s hand as she sat back and laughed. ”Sorry, couldn’t resist.” She replied after a moment.

”Your name does have something to do with it though, well your last name at least. Your father, and by extension his Irregulars have a reputation of being a fair and honourable Company, and that was something I wanted to be party to. There’s plenty of Companies out there, but too many of them are little more than bandits and raiders with a veneer of legitimacy.” Closing her eyes for a moment, she sighed; old memories best left forgotten.

”As for the first part? I’ll spare you the dull bits, but a long story short, I wasn’t interested in being married off for the sake family status, so I took matters into my own hands; best decision I’ve made to date.” Despite the light tone of voice, there was a flicker of something dark in her eyes, old pain briefly resurfacing.



Isbeil Camshron



”Thank you…both of you.” Stepping into the barn as Alm sat, she approached Ehri. ”To answer your question, yes I did hear what you two were discussing. In fact, that is why I sought you out.”

As she spoke, her attention turned to Ehri’s companions. ”Such beautiful creatures,” Part of her really wanted to try and pet Misha but, given the wary eye the wolf was giving her, she knew that would not be the best idea. ”Aside from the talents I have offered in service to Master Sanada, I am also something of a scholar; I study forgotten or obscure forms of magic, and Miss Khan, your ‘Skinchanger’ powers are a bit of both.”

Turning her focus back to the young huntress, she bowed slightly. ”What I wish is to study both you and your companions. There is very little written on powers like yours, and sadly what is written is mostly full of suppositions, guesses or down right lies. All I would requires is a few minutes of your time, your permission to ‘mark’ you with a few spells to observe your power in use…and a bit of blood.”
@ArthanusAwesome, will get on it :D
@Arthanus Would there be much for me to respond to from Alm, or would it be safe for me to put up an Isbeil post before yours goes up?
@Lyla Yikes, well THAT certainly takes priority. Hope both you and your friend are doing better.
@Arthanus I'm still waiting on @Lyla as well...

Yui Ren



”Flatterer,” Yui replied with a grin. ”You’re pretty talented yourself.” Shifting slightly, she twisted to face Nanami more fully. ”And I don’t just mean the singing. I’ve been a Soldier-for-Hire since I was eighteen, and in the seventeen years I’ve been doing this I can think of only a small handful that move like you on the battlefield; and they’d all been at this a lot longer.”

Without realizing, a soft smile crept across Yui’s lips as she admired Nanami. ”Forgive me for asking, but how did you end up here? I know you’re Jing’s daughter and all, but you’re your voice and your looks…well I’m surprised you’re not fending of handsome suitors with a spear…” Chuckling at her own joke, she forced herself to not brush a stray bit of hair that had fallen across Nanami’s face.

This is a bad idea…remember Countess Zeng’s daughter? That was different; I was much drunker.



Isbeil Camshron



She let out a bit of a sigh and rubbed her eyes; she’d been sitting there with her grimoire since before the rest of the Irregulars had gotten up, trying to find anything relevant in her notes regarding what she’d at least perceived about Miss Octavia, but to no effect. No sense in burning out over it; I’ll just ask her…eventually.

Tucking her book back into her robes, she noticed Ehri crossing the common room with a rather fresh piece of meat in her hand. This threw Isbeil off for a moment, at least until she remembered the wildling’s animal ‘companions’. Perhaps I can distract myself with this little mystery for the time being. She stood to follow after Ehri, only to be stopped by a rumbling in her guts that was loud enough to make her blush; sure she’d been up early, but she’d yet to eat anything. Sure she used her unmentioned abilities to sustain her extended lifespan, but she was no litch, she still needed to eat.

Stepping into the kitchen herself, she acquired a bowl of soup and consumed it as fast as was practical; it was simply ‘fuel’ after all. Hunger sated, she headed out to back to hopefully have a word with the Beast-mistress. ”Oh! I apologise, I did not mean to interrupt.” She said suddenly, stepping outside to find Alm already speaking with Ehri.
