Aleth heard what the two was talking despite the constant yelling of the from the bandits. Yeah, great a money-grubbing mercenary. It left a sour taste in the mouth and began to make her blood boil. When she gets angry her moves seem to become more or less uncoordinated. However it did help out when you're outnumber. She sooooo wanted to beat the other guy to death right now, but she had to take care of those two first. Taking a step she slashed the chest of one of them, knocking him over, and apparently making the last one mad. Two were knocked out and one was left, but the thing was she was getting really angry now. Aleth slashed the man's hand that held his axe, but didn't see him switch until he barely shopped her in half. It managed to make a wound on her stomach section. Then with another strike she managed to slash his back, before kicking him down to the ground.
"Hey you!" Aleth said making her way to Raly and the other guy. She didn't notice that she was bleeding through her wounds.

Night sighed. "Save the fancy speech, man, like I said I hate blabbing during a battle." he replied. "Look, I'm not exactly happy being here, but I don't exactly have a choice. Honor isn't going to feed me, keep me clothed, or repair my blade." he pointed out.
At the cavaliers proposition, he sighed. "Isn't vey becoming to up and turn your alleigance..Still, you're offering to pay, and you probably smell better than this lot." he commented. "At any rate, at least I'll get a bigger cut of their loot this way." He considered with a shrug. "Allright, sir knight, I beleive we've got ourselves a deal here. You can call me Night. I'll help you and your friend over there out, and in return, you make sure I have enough money in my pockets to keep myself from living like an animal."
Night had only finishes speaking when someone yelled at him. Cocking his head to the side, he saw it was the girl. "Wow, finished 'em off already?" he asked. He then let out a whistle. "D*mn, girl, its a wonder your still standing. Now this is my personal opinion, but you just might wanna sit down before you kill yourself. Litterally." He said with a light grin. Hey, this guy had offered to pay him, and at any rate, his 'comrades' were dead now. No real sense in fighting them, in his opinion.

(OOC:Now I'm a bit fuzzy on the exp gain and hp loss, wanna help me out a bit? XD)
Aleth was still angry at the guy for being so selfish! However as her head began to cool down, she realized how much damage her body took. The fight began to take its toll as the cut on her stomach began to release drops of blood onto the grounds. Her legs felt weak and she had to stab her sword into the ground as a support. Her face was matted with sweat and the blood of the bandits she took down. She spat out dark red blotches of blood as she dropped down to her knees.
"Lets just hurry and get outta here!"

(OoC: Well, you fought three enemies, so I'd say about 40-50 exp, ask Alcibie in a PM, and with Hp, with the condition you say your in, I'd say most of you hp is gone)
Rayl nodded, before looking back to Aleth, shocked, nearly falling off his horse, though instead jumped off, running on over, putting an arm around her waist, helping his mercenary friend to her feet,"Hey, you did good...for a green." he laughed, though that whole rookie comment was said wuietly under his breath, before looking to Night, While partially dragging Aleth back to his horse,"Alright mercenary, we have a camp in a cavern up ahead, scout ahead to make sure no one is waiting for an ambush attempt."

Night looked to his new 'friend' and grinned wider. "Ahh yes. After all, it is time for the gallant knight to woo his young maiden and..Oh forget it, I hate that romancey stuff..." he said after a moment. "Allrighty then, Boss, I'm off." he said with a shrug before giving a makeshift salute. With a smirk, he sheathed his sword and headed off. And that knight had better not run off with his loot, either!

Aleth flinched as she dragged. This was her body's limit apparently, but that won't stop her from getting stronger. She wasn't sure if they should trust this other mercenary. Then again most mercenaries are like that, so, money-grubbing. At least she was different, or was she? Sometimes when you think you know yourself, you actually know nothing. Well it wasn't the best thing to think at the moment, when her body was dragging as it is.

Rayl stopped, to look down, his hand was on her wound...now that probably wasn't al the comfortable, as he carefully picked her up, deciding upon riding his horse back to the camp wouldn't be a wise choice either, so he whistled for it to follow behind, trying to ignore how awkward this moment was,"But still, it's best not to lose control of ones self on the battlefield. A cold mind is better than cold steel in the heat of battle." he decided to ignore this moment by continuing his little lecture. That should help, right...?

"Well I'm not good with keeping a cool head, especially around people like you and that other guy," Aleth said trying her best to lift her feet and move along towards the place they were staying. She didn't want to admit her conscious was fading. Everything seemed to be a blur now, but at least someone was helping.

After leaving the monk to wallow in self-pity, Jackie walked for several days. She seemed to have reach some kind of mediocre campsite. Perhaps someone here had seen her brother. "Hello? Is anyone out here?"

"...and why do you get so hot headed around me? I mean, I can understand why you would get angry at that mercenary, but what have I done...?" he knew she was starting to lose it, mainly due to how she seemed to feel abit heavier, so he started to quicken his pace, catching view of the camp...who was that girl over ther- wasn't that the mage from bern...? Crud...

"You?! You're the knight that deserted his friends after betraying them! Some knight you are." More than likely, the people next to Rayl hadn't been told this.

"Hey, it's not like I WANTED to..." he mummbled, carrying the girl in his arms inside, laying hr down near the fire,"and besides, I had no other option, he was eventually going to cut you all down one by one until he knew the dragon was dead...assuming that was his plan...you know, I'm starting to doubt he was a holy knight..." he shrugged,"But past mistakes are meaningless. Night, in that saddle bag are some bandages, could you get some out?" Now he was just trying to avoid that conversation, since it still was a rather touchy conversation,"But that waaas some birthday though. First a false armageddon, next I see the weapon of the greatest knight to ever walk this earth, I see a few dragons, and to top it all off, I get accussed of betrayl when I had no other option that The Code would allow me to use... Hmmmph."

"Your story seems okay at a glance, but if you had stayed around a little longer you would've been able to tell he wasn't going to kill anyone other than the male dragon."

"So are you two friends?" Aleth mumbled lifted her head to try to face the other girl. She was really tired and wanted to just sleep, but it would be best hear the word of these people.
"Just exactly what happened before we met, Rayl?"

"Hello, I'm Jackie, and we're just acquaintances, I didn't even know his name was Rayl." Jackie walked over to the girl laying down. She smiled and held out her hand expecting a handshake.
