Raen looked over at Dirk who seemed only mildy interested in the battle. 'Well here goes nothing' he thought. Raen walked over to Dirk, and he looked up at the mounted man, somewhat in awe of his talent.
"Any chance of some experience Dirk? I could sure use it." he asked.

Alexia quickly moved through the motions of taking care of her horse. Soon Night Flight had gotten the best possible treatment he could receive, given the circumstances. Then, the paladin removed her heavy outer armor, and rested by a tree, watching. The sea breeze felt good on her skin, and it was nice to be able not to walk around in a giant shell for once.
Besides, Sacean swordplay fascinated her.

Katara watched Matis and Saru practice, the fluid like movements reminding her of when she practiced with the deadly swordmaster. Her mind quickly wandered to Kenshin. She wanted to know what he was doing, and if he was okay. She guessed it was only natural to wonder. She turned back to the fight and had an urge to practice herself. However, a quick bought of nausea quickly passed the idea from her mind.

"Sure." Dirk hastily put away his longbow and took out his old short bow. He tested the string to make sure it would fire correctly. "Okay, you can have the first shot."

Taking up his bow Raen thought that Dirk's shortbow looked worn but powerful, something that had seen its fairshare of action. Of course then Raen realized, what am I supposed to shoot at now, the pirates are all gone. he mused, then decided finally to ask.
"Uh, so what should I shoot at? Surely not you?"

"What else?" Dirk observed his opponent closely, he seemed to look slightly Sacaen, but their archers normally had horses like Kabold.
(OoC: I hope you don't think you're using my bow, I took it out because I was using my longbow earlier.)

ooC: ok lol we'll just assume that was my bow.
Drawing back on the string he began to think fast, 'shoot him, come on! who could dodge an arrow... much less one that not even I actually know where it can go?.... Hakuna Matata!' he concluded
sighting Dirk's leg (he might as well minimize an accident) he let the arrow fly
Here we go....

Kabold bucked just in time to lift Dirk's legs out of the way. "Hakuna Matata? What in the world is that?"

Noting the handiness of Dirk's horse in dodging the arrow Raen felt more assured at taking another shot. "it's just a little catch-phrase... uh, means no worries.... So, should I shoot again?" I wonder if I should aim for anything different? he thought.

Alexia chuckled, enjoying the training and banter. It certainly was a welcome change after all the running about and serious fighting. Besides, the two new guys needed to brush up before they fought Durban. Even then, she would have to keep an eye on Saru. He might get too close to the berserker... and end up like Lyndsey and the others...
Sighing, she shifted her gear and laid back.

As Roscanza and his crew almost reached their destination he wondered how he would do this and also if the people were still in the same spot. Chances were they were long gone.
He put his weapon away so he wouldn't appear as a threat if they were there. He and the other 9 pirates went into sight and saw that they were there.
They was still out of talking range so he hoped they wouldn't shoot any of them. He held up his hands to show he wasn't holding a weapon as he walked forward.

Saru was panting as he continued training with Matis. After dodging to the side to avoid Matis' attack, he noticed a person walking toward them. Looking closer, he noticed that this person looked like a pirate. He alerted Matis and the others to this new person with a simple, "We have company." Saru wondered what was going to happen and what this person wanted.

"Hold your arrow, Raen." He swiftly turned Kabold to see these new pirates better. A leader stood out among them with his hands in the air, clearly he was not going to pull a weapon out soon.

'Well it seems I was right about something; they came back, but why? And in such small numbers... they can't take us out like that.'
Slipping his bow over his shoulder for the time being Raen watched the approaching pirates reach speaking distance and hail.

As Roscanza approached he noticed the 3 sword fighters.
"The captain was right that these guys will likely be able to kill the berserker." he mumbled.
When he reached them he waited if another pirate would talk but when no one was he decided to do the talking.
"What are you doing on pirate territory and killing lots of our members?" he said gruffly.
Realizing he should be a bit more friendly to gain there trust he quickly said " I mean, uhhh, hi what are doing here?
One of the bigger pirates behind Roscanza kicked him for sounding so stupid. "Ow, at least I'm talking unlike you.", Rosconza said angrily. He waited to see what the other people would do.
