Aela could hear people fighting in the tavern right now, glasses landing on the floor and bartenders yelling at them to stop. The noise somehow makes its silence for once, then it continues again - it just keeps repeating the process over and over again. She didn't mind though, people who are drunkards usually turn out to fight another part of their kind.
She gripped her hilt tight for the next attack only to be noticing a man cheering for her... well, partially cheering for her. It looked as if the guy was on her side. The guy looked young but he had this sense of presence like he was a fighter too which she acknowledged. There are many geniuses in this world anyways, she thought sarcastically.
"I thank you for cheering me, little guy! You might as well not disturb because it's about to get fun around here," she yelled as she faced the boy with her stance still active. She then looks back at the swordsman with a smile, "Cutting me there was nothing, guy. As I said, I'm not a big wuss like other girls who just runs away with their tail between their legs. She notices that she sheathed his blade, so at the same time - probably few miliseconds after he did so - she sheathed her blade as well back to where it was awhile ago. The cut on her cheek stopped bleeding but still had that cut on it. She ran toward Zelphiam as he was attempting to 'run' away. "Woah, woah. Where do you think you're going?! You're going with me!" She grinned as if nothing has happened there. It looked like the crowd was getting a bit smaller by time.

Zelphiam sighed as he remembered what the boy had said about Aela kicking his "butt". Zelphiam had thought if he ever meet that boy he'd be the one doing the "butt" kicking. Now he had this pink haired "happy go-lucky girl" following him, great. Zelphiam kept walking at first totally ignoring Aela.
"Since you are following me you probably want to know some things about me," Zelphiam began as he stopped in front of a rushing river. He then took a deep breath and pulled out his green pendant from under his shirt. He then took a long look at the pendant and then to the water, which was filled with fishing swimming about. Now he had turned to Aela ready to tell her his story.
"As I said before my name is Zelphiam Rinko and I come from a family built on becoming a sage or druid. I unlike the others strayed from that path and wanted to become a sword master. Since I wasn't following the path of the family I was ridiculed, abused and became a outcast. To train I sneaked out a few times and a sword master named Calnith aka Grim reaper would practice with me," Zelphiam stopped for a moment and put the pendant away he was talking to much.
"I've said way too much already," Zelphiam said staring at the river.

When the couple stopped fighting Gaven was quite disappointed. He wasn’t the only one either because the crowd started to disperse back into the bar. He was mad though, he hadn’t been able to get the entertainment he deserved, hadn’t been able to get a beer, and hadn’t been able to find the person who walked into the forest. He wanted revenge and he couldn’t get revenge on the first and last thing so he decided to get revenge on the middle.
Now what to do? How can I hurt this barman that won’t necessarily kill him? For all I am, I am not a killer…yet. Wait didn’t I burn down that other Inn? It was made off wood and this one is too so hmm…
Gaven sneaked to the back of the bar and got out his handy dandy flint and steel kit. While he was intent on striking with the match a looming figure gazed at him. “Kid what you are doing to my establishment?”
Gaven didn’t have to answer because right then a spark caught onto the dried wood. Wood is by definition very flammable and this wood is no different. “KID!” he shouts. Gaven starts sprinting in the distance that the couple had gone to avoid the man’s clutches.
The man surprisingly didn’t chase him though because he started to try to put out the fire. Gaven then hid himself in the forest and watched the upcoming events in interest. The man had failed in his attempt to stop the fire and had gone to his plan B. That was to start hyperventilating. Luckily he had a wife because she was starting to usher everyone out of the bar. After the wife did a quick head count she started trying to calm down her husband. He looked red from head to toe just like his bar. Well looks like I just made an enemy. Practice makes perfect. Not sure what to do next he started to follow the path the man and woman had traveled quietly.

Aela was smiling the whole time during this, even when she got a cut on her cheek. She softly rubbed it as she walked casually with Zelphiam toward a river. There were so many fishes in it, Aela had to kneel down to put her hand in the river to see if it attracted any kind of fish. It probably didn't though... she just thought it was worth a try.
As the man started to tell his story, she stood up trying to stretch her body a bit for kneeling down. She fixed a part of her black tights by pulling it and stretching it a bit so that it doesn't appear wrinkly. The red cloak on top of that was already clean and was a high quality cloak with a hood on it. She blinked as the man took out a pendant thinking that it was probably a heirloom for this man's family or some sort.
"That wasn't too much, actually but I guess it covers the basics... Well, as I said - my name's Aela and I'm a traveler of some sort too with the goal in my mind to meet my... parents and become a great swordsman to defend the weak. I was from a orphanage so I never got to meet any of my blood-by-blood family. Someday.... someday, I know that I can find them if I train harder and expand my knowledge of this world." She was about to cry after she just said the word 'family.' Her parents abandoned her when she was just a little child and she still strived to find them.
"And... if I ever find them, I'll make a large family - starting from the beginning again and become well-known sometimes..." She nodded looking at Zelphiam with a smile. "I think I've said too much too."
She looked at the track where she was walking with Zelphiam only to be noticing some smoke smoldering above the place where the inn was located. Is the Inn on fire...? She hoped it wasn't a fire and exchanged an eye with Zelphiam.

As Zelphiam listened to Aela tell a little bit about herself he was sitting near the edge of the river with his finger in the water. While he was listening to her story he figured she had a rough childhood herself. She never knew her family and had a goal of her own. He felt the two were somewhat alike but Zelphiam would have preferred to have never known his family besides his mother. Aela's dream of becoming a sword master gave Zelphiam the thought that one day they would have to fight to see who was the best out of the two of them.
As he hand his finger in the water a large fish swam towards it thinking it was bait and latched onto it. The two started to struggle over the finger with Zelphiam trying to pull the fish on and the fish tightening it's grip on him.
Let go you god forsaken fish! Zelphiam thought as the two wrestled about the ground. For some strange reason the fish put up a good fight before it let go when it say Zelphiam pull out his sword.
"Yeah that's right run away ya coward!" Zelphiam growled at the fish that jumped back into the water and swam off. His head then turned to Aela who had said something about the inn being on fire.
"Oh well that's the town's issue not my concern," Zelphiam said in a nonchalant voice as he got up from where he was sitting and started walking off toward his little camp site

((short i know but i have homework)) Gaven came upon the girl and man sitting by the river. The man was trying to fish unsuccessfully. He observed their conversation very thoroughly thinking that both of them were idiots for letting them know their true intentions and their background. Secrecy is much more important than friends.
As Gaven was stalking them in his position he got an itch in his foot. He quickly bent down to scratch it but he wasn’t all the way successful in not disturbing the undergrowth. It shook slightly when he bent down loud enough for the people by the water to hear.
Gaven held his breath in fear hoping they hadn’t noticed.

"Isn't it weird though? How can the inn suddenly be on fire? I-..." Right exactly at that time she heard a bit of twigs breaking off back at the trail where they walked from. She first though it was a small animal trying to live its life but it got suspicious to her. There were two of them there, alone.
"I'm not that dumb you know..." She picked up a rock beneath her as she knelt down to lift it. The rock was heavy enough to cause a concussion if hit directly to their vital parts. She tossed it toward to the place where the sound came from. "You know, I think someone's here."

Zelphiam turned around when he heard Aela talking about someone watching them. He had a strange feeling that someone was watching them earlier but he just ignored it.
"You know you're probably right," He said as he pulled out his blade and walked toward the place where Aela tossed the rock. Blade at the ready Zelphiam was prepared for anything. An assassin, or maybe a member of the Rinko family that came after him.
"Come on out and face me coward!" Zelphiam roared

((Need to practice what tense I am writing my book in. 1st Person )) The girl may look harmless but she can throw a rock. HARD. Especially if she just happens to be throwing at the handsome strapping young boy in the bushes. At least I was wearing armor otherwise that rock would have been quite nasty to pluck from my lifeless corpse. Needless to say it hit me. Were? In my currently healing right wrist. It’s as if she knows how to add insult upon injury! After being hit by that brick I fell to the ground my eyes blinded with pain. I was close to the clearing so when I fell to the ground I came completely visible. The only word I really said was “Ow.” You know how ones word can describe your whole situation in some cases? This just happens to be one.

Aela simply blinked after she threw the rock. She looked back at Zelphiam and sighed, "I heard a twak, must've hit one of the trees or some animals or something. I honestly have no idea what I've just hit. Would you mind going to check it out? I'll help too, but just not... much as you are going to investigate it."[/b] She nods proudly and starts to walk toward the place she tossed the rock out hoping that Zelphiam was going to lead it. It didn't really matter who went first though as Aela could've been able to fend off herself, but this was a very special case where she was scared a bit.
That fire seemed to still be there that made Aela sigh, it was quite excruciating to see another place to be on fire. It reminded of the orphanage that caught on fire... the orphanage that she lived in because she was abandoned. Even after that happened, she still strives through her life's hardship with a big smile on her face. Something that people may learn after... she was proud of it.

Zelphiam became more suspission when he heard what sounded like a boy's voice coming from the bushes. He dropped his guard a bit when he figured it was probably just some little kid playing in the forest. As he searched near where he heard the sound he found the same boy that he had spotted earlier in the town standing in the crowd.
"What in the world are you doing here kid?" Zelphiam asked the boy as he sheathed his blade. The boy was no harm to him he thought as his attention then went to the fire. He could smell it from here and it didn't seem like it was going to dim out anytime soon

As the man quickly took a glance at the fire I used this extra second to compose myself. How to act? I could act like myself but this man seems like business and I would rather not have my throat slit today. Actually I never want my slit throat. Unless of course it gets slit by a dragon, that would be AWESOME.
Well he said little boy so I would try to downplay my independence and my intelligent just a tad. Though it wouldn’t be that hard, me being in intense pain right now. “Please sir can you hand me the” This was quite painful so my breath quickened for a second before I said “my medicine hanging from my left side of the belt.” Luckily they couldn’t see my right side of my belt where my Vulnerary steroid/drink was.
The medicine was one that the healer had prescribed to me to dull the pain but it has the side effect of numbing your brain process for a while. A terrible tradeoff in my opion but it was hurting to bad not to do it. Also probably should have asked the pink haired women to. Women in general are more compassionate against kids than men are.

[[ OOC: Gonna be half-assed. ]]
Alexis stared at the little boy behind Zelphiam. The guy looked a bit younger than herself which made her smile. It was good to know that some people at his age to have the guts to stalk someone who outnumbered him by another person. She looked back at Zelphiam with a light frown. "What shall we do?" She asked as her face completely converted to a smile.
She looked back at the kid and tilted her head like she was helping another child. "Do you have... any parents?" She remarked. She glanced at over the sky where it looked like light was about to come soon.

The boy who had just met Zelphiam was asking him to help with some medicine. No, Zelphiam wasn't going to help he didn't like the boy or trust him. He turned his head away from the boy and Aela and faced down the path toward his camp site.
"No I won't help you with your medicine I've wasted too much of my time Aela you can play babysitter to this punk I've had enough of this being friendly and hanging out with others crap," He said as he started walking off. Zelphiam wanted to be alone like he usually was he didn't like having to be burdened with others.
"Don't follow me I'm going on my own and if I see you coming I'll end you," Zelphiam said pulling out his blade a bit. He kept walking until he stopped at a large tree.
He proceeded to take of his sword from his hip place it on the ground. Then he took of his tunic and his black shirt leaving him in his pants and boots. He grabbed hold of a large sturdy branch and started doing pull ups.

((don't feel bad about posting short )) The man walked off in such an arrogant manner that it would have brought me so much joy to throw my javelin straight through his body. Sadly I don’t have any and I am in no current condition to fight. Still though, rude is rude and I hope this young woman realized that. Maybe she would slit his throat later and invite me. “Well since that guy walked off can you help me” Wait did she ask me a question? Ohh ya parents. What to say…what to say… “Of course I have parents. i mean who dosen't?”
