After Papilion fell and had a good cry he heard moaning underneath his legs. "Whoops!" he quickly moved his legs before Gabriel suffocated. When he moved them, his body shifted locations to some soft grass. Papilion was very tired and the grass increased it. Spreading out he mumbled his apologies and fell asleep. He started snoring quite loudly in a dreamless sleep.

Errol caught Hiro's jab at his inaction and rushed towards Gabriel. Papillion had been nice enough to move off of the pupil before falling asleep, so he decided the best thing left to do was drag Gabriel away by his shoulders, in case their obese hanger-on rolled over in his sleep. As the two magic users were about the same size, it was a bit of a strain for Errol, and being dragged along the ground was probably not comfortable for Gabriel either. Once Errol felt they were far enough away, he looked up across their campsite at Hiro again. He had apparently been busy looking at their female companion rather than helping (although at this point, the situation seemed well in hand...)

Hiro couldn't see Errol exactly so he got up and walked around looking for him. See him he walked over. "Hey, is there anything I should know before my shift?"

Gabriel thanked Errol by making a gesture with his hands, since he could not speak properly yet.
How can he even fall asleep right after that!?
Then, Hiro came over to where Errol and Gabriel were, the latter still laying on the ground holding his chest and gut. He took a big breath, trying to catch some air.
"Just...watch for that...thing" Gabriel managed to say, pointing at Papilion. An undercover assassination attempt? He was probably stretching things too far. But if not for Errol and Hiro being awake, Papilion probably wouldn't even have moved.

(OOC: For your wait, I'll type as much as I can...err...I'll try)
Jya smiled in her sleep, her dreams however didn't reflect the smile. It was back in the past, five or so years ago, in that battle... The sound of war was barely pleasant to anyone's ears, if only most knights knew such a thing, they would regret it, just like her. It was truly a shame not many knew the truth behind warfare, where the small and weak(surprisingly somehow she survived) were teared apart. Maybe...hopefully she was exasperating it by a mile.
Turning in her sleep, she woke, trying to ignore all the bustle and hustle going on around her. What was their problem? Maybe she should just keep an eye on them instead of trusting them to get a good rest for once. Than again how can anyone sleep now with such a loud, unpleasant, and frightfully...odd sort of snoring. Who was it? Opening an eye, she found it to be Papilion. That heavy man was full of surprises, she can't complain though, she needed protection and these guys were the best she could get at the moment.
Turning once again, she found that the horse was laying next to her. Why did such a creature remind her of herself? The creature seemed weak in comparison to the many other horses she saw in her travels. The breathing seemed to her to be forced and labored. Maybe she was imaging things again. More importantly, how was it able to carry a creature such as Papilion? Now that she has started to question the world again, it became hard to fall back into slumber! Getting up, she found a nice spot against the trees and leaned on it casually.
"You know, I think I'll just relax till I feel tired again...Decent sleep seemed to pass me every night from one reason to another," Jya commented in a somewhat soft tone, careful to not wake the horse and the sleeping giant. There wasn't much except to think about what happened so far. Should she stay with this group and so on. She had got into a habit of thinking and paying a certain degree to her surroundings. These people were really random! Nobody seem to fit with another at all...except Gabriel and Errol.

Errol considered Hiro's question and Gabriel's response to it. While he hadn't been looking when the incident happened, it seemed less malice on Papillion's part and more like a streak of incompetence as wide as his waist. But that still meant that more such incidents would probably be coming down the line. "Yes, that's probably a good idea. But don't forget to keep an eye out for other threats as well." Gabriel seemed to be mostly recovered at this point, so Errol left him and sat down on the opposite end of the fire from Papillion.
Jya had woken up and moved to the edge of their camp, saying something about having seldom getting much sleep. 'Come to think of it... everyone here seems to have some sort of problem. To different degrees though. Gabriel is inexperienced with his magic, but I can tell he has real potential... If he lives long enough to realize it. Hiro... my instincts told me he was lying when he introduced himself, but on the other hand, what could he really do if he joined an enemy? And as for myself... I had a goal in mind when I left Delphia... but I'm not certain where to go in the meantime. Tomorrow I'll find out where Gabriel intends to go, and if he intends to leave Etruria as well. But for now...'
Even Papillion's snoring wasn't enough to keep Errol awake this time; his intention of questioning Hiro shelved... for now.

Blah blah blah. Errol talked to much for Hiro. He had watched Errol move then sat down. Noticing Jya had gotten up and said something barely loud enough for him to hear he went towards her and sat next to her.
"What's up cutie, can't sleep?"

Jya was just thinking about Alcibie, when she realized that Hiro had asked her a question. Cutie? Well she was cute, to many, when she was...smaller, but now, she barely recognized her own face. Shrugging, she quickly thought up a convenient reply,"Well, yeah...nightmares," slightly muttering the ending. Her whole body was numb now, the pain had passed a few moments after the whole big bandit fight...sort of big at least. She rubbed her legs, trying to prevent any pain that might come in the future or at least try. She had been trying to do many things lately. Many times that got her in trouble.
"Why can't dawn come any faster?" she asked no one in particular. However, still expecting an answer, returning back into her original position.
"And I can't decide if the horse is so weak that its strong or its a horse from the depths of legends to be able to hold up Papilion's weight."

Hiro laughed as Jya had asked that question. "I think it would of ran away, but it's too tired to even move after carrying him." Hiro gave a half smile. "So care to share the nightmares?"

"Ugh..umm not sure how to share it," Jya chuckled her answer. Hiro had a decent reply towards her own question. She slumped down against the tree and just watched and had her senses flare up, just so she had something to do. Than again, it wasn't like she had that much experience with surprises, even though they always come into an inconvenient time.

Hiro put his arm around Jya. "Well don't worry about a thing, I'm here now." After a second he pulled his arm back. "So, what's a pretty face like yours doing out here?"

Papiliion had been asleep for awhile when the sun woke him up. Looking around he saw the hermit was on watch. Whether he had staid on watch the entire night or it had changed he didn't know. He was also very happy no one woke him up for watch. "I guess no one trusts me enough"
Looking around everyone still seemed asleep except for his horse and Hiro. Papilion got his lance and using it as support, was able to shakily stand. A very loud rumble then came from his stomach and he realized how hungry he was.
Turning to Hiro he asked "So do we have a plan for breakfast?"

It was like a swarm of bees, drilling into his head. Gabriel turned around a few times, before one of his rolls made sunlight hit him straight in the face. He opened his eyes, and rubbed them to try and see clearly. Papilion was standing not far from him and Hiro being opposite of him, behind the fire.
"Morning" was all he managed to say, before hearing that very same sound again. Papilion was hungry, apparently.
By Elimine, can't this guy ever stay quiet!?
Trying to go unnoticed, Gabriel checked for his belongings. Everything was in place. Nothing seemed to go wrong, then. "First order in business" he said, before having to stop to yawn, "is to get us some food. If we are lucky, we should be able to find some bunnies. Perhaps even a deer. I saw one a few days ago, but I couldn't catch it". He sighed.

As the sun shone, Errol slowly drifted back to consciousness. Of course, Papillion's stomach probably helped. As he regained his focus, he realized that Gabriel was making their morning plan, which was apparently a hunting expedition. "That sounds reasonable," he considered, sitting up and brushing himself off, "But it occurs to me that it will take a greater deal of stealth than we as a group are capable of." 'And if we do spit up, that means we'll need some way of meeting up afterwards... Assuming we leave Papillion behind for now, that means the four of us...'

Jya had dozed off shortly after he asked her that question. He sat next to her the whole night, watching for Kraft's men. He was surprisingly able to resist his urge to get a quick feel of her. His mind wondered off during the night. It's been 5 loooong years since he saw Elise last, only 2 years since he last spoke to her. She should be somewhere to the west of his current location. Maybe he should go see her.
A few hours past and the sun started to rise. The mountain has risen too and started to mumble something about food. What a surprise, next were the two children. They were speaking of hunting and such, one hit one of Hiro's strengths, stealth. He was too tired to be able to do so. "I would be the best choice for stealth but I'm too tired to do so. Why hunt when break fest is right there." Hiro nudged his head towards the horse with a chuckle.
