"Kraft, right now, you are an outsider. We've been traveling together for a while now. I promise I'll sit down and spend some time with you. After all, I want to know all about your wife and children. Right now," she looked out to where Lumino had left. "I'm more concerned about him. Please wait here with Night Flight, and keep an eye out for Sergey." She got up and followed Lumino, squinting to make it through the dark night. It would take her some time to locate the young mage, but she should be able to find him.

"Wait, What? you are leaving me here...alone?"
By St.Elimine, What an opportunity... No; I must control myself. No stealing. Not here.
"Okay!! I'll be sure nothing gets stolen!" He yelled.
But it was too late, Alexia couldn't hear him anymore.
Oh yes. Heck, I'm not going to 'control' myself. They won't notice if I take some coins here and there. Let's see what's in this bag... He thought while inspecting the bags hanging from Night Flight.
"Easy horsie, it's Kraft, you like Kraft, don't you, now let's see what you've got here..."
OoC: Alexia, Kraft has already confessed that he doesn't have any children, but if you want I'll edit that, because it's much more fun that way. ;D OoC EDIT; Sorry, I knew Sergey was gone, but I thought he'd be back already. I misread Alexia's post. you know, the 'keep an eye out for Sergey'. I misunderstood. Well, it's fixed now. Sorry I keep yapping.

Her jaw dropped but quickly shut it to try to hide the fact that the man hit it right on.
"I don't know as to what you are referring to...but what were your suspicions correct about that you need to inform your liege lord about? And yes...he does seem to have a nice singing voice doesn't he?" She paused when she remembered the high speaking mage mention alto. She cringed inwardly hoping they hadn't already been figured out so easily. Stupid knight should just sew his trap shut.
"Well, thank-"
"Don't you know better by now you idiotic- I mean please my sir knight I'll thank him for you." She turned glared itching to strike the blathering fool again and turned back to the stranger.
"Yes well, thank you for complementing the Sir Knight he greatly appreciates it..heh.." Silver snickered behind her and she quickly kicked him in the shank. Which he retaliated by biting her rear end and causing her to leap forward yelping. "You good for nothing donkey!" She snarled as she tripped over a tree root tumbling head first towards the mage...

'And what, exactly are you doing.' Sergey said to krafts back. He let the gathered firewood fall on the ground. Hah, the perfect excuse to kill this son of a pregnant dog. Maybe I will still get something done this day after all.

marzius moved effortlessly, scooping up the falling maiden in his arms, and holding her close. "my dear lady, falling would damage this fair visage i see before me...." he felt something odd under the tunic, and squeezed her arms to double check. "you're quite muscular for a troubadour," he mused, looking down at the maiden. he glanced over at the knight, who had been singing. "i think there's a camp of people near by. perhaps we should sojourn over there and seek pleasurable company for the night."

"W-what I'm doing?" Kraft said, while turning around.
D**n, I KNEW this was a bad idea... I'm alone. I'm dead. I'm dead. Oh, by St. Elimine... Only two options I guess; telling lies and begging for mercy.
"I w-was doing nothing. I was inspecting the bags, to see if I could find some more food. I-I'm really really really hungry. Ehehe..eh..." Kraft sighed.
"Look, Sergey, you don't want to do this. Alexia's going to kill you if you kill me; you can prove nothing, I was searching for food."
Kraft pulled his knife out behind his back.
This is it. If he attacks, I'm dead. I'm prepared to run...

'I can't prove anything? Yo don'know the first things about me, do you?' Sergey relaxed and gathered the firewood on a pile. 'You're not worth it.'

Lumino had walked for about ten minutes when he stood by a tree. He stood there silently, face caught in a shadow. Then without warning, he raised his fist and threw it into the tree. Wood splintered and there was a small crack as Lumino felt a sting of pain in his hand. A small trickle of blood dropped down from the wound, onto the trees roots.
"Damn him...how dare he." He muttered through clenched teeth.

Kraft relaxed.
Yes. I'll live one more day...
"T-Thank you, kind sir..." Kraft said.
Kraft sat down, still ready to get away as fast as possible if Sergey planned on using his axe.

Alexia heard a crack, and almost dismissed it as a small animal. Then, she noticed a human shadow in the darkness. Smiling, she approached Lumino, who still stood with blood on his knuckle. "And here I thought mages didn't like to get their hands dirty," she joked, stepping closer to Lumino.

Lumino's face didn't have the smile on it. Not his usual happy-go-lucky attitude. Now he looked as if something, deep within himself, had died. Sighing heavily, he looked to Alexia, his knuckles still dripping blood.
"I've made up my mind, I can't go with you anymore."
He paused for a moment, only the wind making noise in the clearing.
"There is something I have to deal with first, and until I take care of it, I can't continue with you all. I'm sorry, but you will have to continue the mission here without me. Someday, maybe, we may meet again." He tried to give her a smirk, but even that action seemed beyond him now.
"Take care of yourself. I know we can count on you to finish the job, but I have some of my own matters I have to put to rest first. I'm afraid I can't help while they are still unresolved."
With no other words, Lumino turned on his heal and began walking east. This was his job, he had to do it. One way or the other, he was going to find out what he needed to know.

Alexia was too stunned to respond properly to Lumino's words. She understood having personal duty, though, and wasn't about to go chasing after the mage. He'd joined them of his own free will, she wasn't about to take that away from him. Still, she was greatly saddened by the loss of yet another companion. "Now I'm left with a shady ex-bandit and an even shadier 'family man,'" she muttered, kicking at the dirt. "I'll be lucky if I'm not dead by the time I reach the capitol." She slowly returned to the clearing where the other two were. She nodded to her two remaining traveling companions, and took a seat near Kraft. "Lumino has some unfinished business he feels he has to take care of," she explained, staring into the fire (I'm guessing there's a campfire, there's fire wood....). She sighed and placed her head on her knees. Exhaustion spread over her and she felt like just laying down and not getting up again. An impossibility, given the company she kept. She just curled tighter, staring into the fire.

"Wait. WHAT?" Kraft said in atonishment.
"HE JUST LEFT???"
Oh great, just marvelous, there goes the plan of betraying them all. Just what I need. A split up.
"B-But he has to come with us! Is he crazy? Where is he going? Tell me where he is going."
Kraft, you're blowing it...
"...Because I'm very concerned. Yeah, umm, I'm the forgiving type of person, I wanted to be... uh, FRIENDS! Yeah, friends with him... SO, where's he going? Where are we going next? Are there more of you? Please?"

She shrugged off the arms of the mage and stood hastily.
"I tend to the horse a lot...that builds some muscle. Unlady-like I know but what can you do? I suppose camping with those...others you mentioned might be alright." She glanced over at her companion trying to hide the worry on her face. How can she stalk them unsuspectingly now if she camps with them? The knight just shrugs leaving the decision up to her...again. With a sigh she turns back to the kind mage and smiles sweetly.
"Yes, going to go camp with those other travelers sounds delightful. Let's go shall we? You'll have to lead the way though." Her voice sounded too sweet even to her ears and the horse the ever present nag that he was snorted and pawed at the ground shaking his head in what she could only guess was disgust.

marzius nodded to the lady and headed towards the sounds he'd heard earlier. after getting momentarily lost, they stumbled onto the clearing. the cavalier, fighter, and thief from earlier were all there... but the other mage, who'd looked like someone marzius had once known, had left. "greetings and salutations companions!" he heartily greeted the group he'd help save. "it is most heartening to see that you all escaped the clutches of that insane woman!" he smiled his most charming smile. judging by the theif's position and the depressed look on the cavalier's face, now was a bad time. "i brought a few friends," he continued on, hoping to lighten the mood. he waved graciously to his new knight and troubadour friends. "i'm afraid they have not blessed me with their names, but i will vouch for their characters. if i may be so bold, where is that young mage you were traveling with?" he looked at each of the party's faces. they were indeed the group of heathens from earlier, they should have the mage with them.
