Chelsea smiled. "Of course I wouldn't mind. I would be honored to have to escort me there. And I'm not too worried about them being hostile once I arrive. If all has gone according to plan, I'll already have a number of friends there I can meet up with that would protect me should I need it." It would be nice to see everyone again. "Are you sure you don't mind, though? Weren't you looking for a place before we met? Shouldn't you be going there instead?"

Nodded at her words with a smile. She had a certain energy about her, that bright and sunny personality. He wondered if that was a trait of all Sacaen women.
"Well, you do have a point there, that is so." he mused. "But people are always more important then any other task. And seeing a traveler safely to their destination is part of my duty." He said, looking over the plains.
"Besides," He said absentmindedly. "I'm willing to bet what I am looking for will find me anyway, even if I change directions. Fate has a way of following us, no matter where we travel."
He paused for a moment, looking about. "Hmmm, I know that there is a town on the plains around here, Buglar I believe? That may be a good place to stop for supplies if you are in need. I had planned to hunt, but the animals on the plains have been scarce lately..."
He let that sentence drift off. He had a pretty good idea why, and he figured she would to.

Karina and Ralph had been scouring the border for days, resting only wen necessary. They decided it would be best to widen their search, so they struck our for the plains. They were running low on supplies, and they both knew they and Sascha could use a rest. They set their sights on Bulgar, and, after a few more exhausting days, made their way to the city.

"Bulgar? Yeah, I know where it is. And it probably would be a good idea to stop there for supplies." She said with a nod and urged Spirit on. After a few hours, they made there way trotting into the town. Chelsea lead Spirit over to the stables and tied her up there. She then stepped out of the stables and took a deep breath. It had been quite some time since she had been here. Before mother had died, actually. Wow, had it really been that long? The place looked different and yet also the same. "Do you wanna split up and meet back later?"

Karina Steered Sascha over to the sables. Upon making their descent, she helped Ralph off and paid for a stall to put Sascha in. She lead her pegasus over to one of the empty stalls and got her a bale of hay and some water, after which she sat next to Sascha, brushing her mane.
"You did us well, my pet. You flew straight and true. I am blessed to have a steed as fine and fit as you, Sascha." Karina continued to brush the pegasus, for her coat had gotten a bit dirty on the flight, and no self-respecting pegasus knight left her steed in a befouled state.

Chelsea heard a voice behind her that sounds familiar. It sounded like Karina. But it couldn't be, she was in Bern with everyone else. There was no way she was in Sacae. She looked around and saw a pegasus. Could it really be? She took a few steps and that's when a green-haired girl came into view. It really was her friend! "Karina!?"

Karina had just about finished brushing Sascha when a gorgeous, copper-haired Sacaen woman called her name. She turned around to see, as though her lucky stars were shining bring, the person she was looking for. Chelsea. The nomad looked stronger that when she remembered, like she had seen more battles than Karina.
Karina smiled at Chelsea and said, "It's me, my friend! I've been looking for you!" she walked over to Chelsea and opened her arms for a hug.

Chelsea couldn't believe it! It was her! She ran over and threw herself into Karina's arms, giving her a big hug. It felt like no time had passed and it was back like when they were together all the time. She even smelt that sweet smell she used to smell all the time. She took her appearance in. Now that had changed slightly. She wasn't wearing her ponytail any more, guess they had switched on that. And she now had bangs that covered part of her face, and Chelsea had to admit they looked hot. That's when she felt something take over her. She had a feeling it wouldn't make Kelvin too happy if he knew, but she couldn't resist it. It had been a long time coming. Before she really knew what she was doing, she kissed Karina right on the lips.

The sweet smell of the plains enveloped Ralph as they entered Bulgar. Even in this trade city, the sky and earth were prominent. Oblivious to the sweet reunion before him, Ralph asked, "So was this Chelsea the one you were looking for, Karina? It's rather lucky to have met on accident."
Ralph called Caecus to himself, attaching a message to the bird's leg. "Send this to Bill, kay?" Caecus cawed in response and took off.

Valorian watched the entire scene play out before him. So, a friend of the plainswomens? That was good, it obviously wasn't safe for people to be traveling alone in this day and age...
It might be best for him to leave her in their care and continue on alone, after all, there was danger following him it seemed.
"Well well, seems you met some unexpected companions Chelsea. I guess my escort job was easier then I tho-"
And then, he stopped. Something felt wrong, but it wasn't the usual feeling. No, that wasn't correct either. There were two conflicting feelings...something was pulling him away, and something was telling him to stay. Both of these feelings had become common place to him for now, but he'd never had them conflicting like this.
He left his sentence unfinished, looking out over the plains where dusk was falling slowly. "Perhaps staying here for the night would be better." he said, with all seriousness in his voice this time.

Karina was surprised when Chelsea kissed her. So much so, that she almost backed away. But then she thought of the missed days, the times she wished she had been with her. Karina found herself leaning in and kissing Chelsea back.
When they broke off, Karina said, with a small smile, "It is nice to be near you again." Then a boy walked over and said something about staying the night. "We should all get rooms at the inn! And, Chelsea... priest-child, this is Ralph, one of my companions from Bern."

Chelsea smiled at Karina as they broke off and nodded. "Rooms sound like a good idea." She bowed to Ralph as he was introduced. "It's nice to meet you, Ralph. And this is Valorian, a priest I met earlier on the plains." She paused while the introductions were finished before speaking again. "Shall we head over to the inn then?" She felt her fingers weave their way between Karina's. Why was she being so bold like this? She hoped it wasn't too much, but it just felt... right? She hoped Kelvin wouldn't be mad... Then some hesitants moved over her. She fidgeted with her skirt hem for a few seconds before quietly asking Karina, "Would you wanna share a room tonight? Just like old times?"

Karina smiled and sqeezed Chelsea's hand. "Of course! It sounds like fun. Come on guy, lets find that inn!" the four fellows made their way through the city and found a suitable inn. They walked in to the inn to find that it was also a tavern. It was warm and homey looking, and seemed like a fun place to be. There was even a stage with an assortment of instruments for anyone who felt the urge to perform.
"Ooh, this place looks fun!" Karina said. "Let's get room and come back down tonight!"

Chelsea smiled back at Karina as they walked towards the inn/tavern. It was just like old times again. "It does look like it'll be fun!" She agreed before leading her friend over to the check in counter. "Hello, Sir. We'd like a room for the night." She passed some gold over to the man, who handed her a key in return. "Thank you," she said with a bow. She turned to Valorian and Ralph. "We'll meet you two back down here in a few!" Still holding Karina's hand, she skipped up the stairs and down a hallway to the room they had been given. "Let's see what we got for the night!"

Karina had made sure Ralph and Valorian got their own rooms, and then went to hers and Chelsea's. She took off her armor, for the flight had made her itch underneath, and donned a garment she deemed appropriate for the night. It was little more than underwear, and showed off her lean, yet curved, figure. When she was done, she ran down to join the others, ready for a night of fun and festivities after so many long, thought-rending nights with Rayl. "I'll have a Red Knight," she said to the bartender, slapping down a few coins. A minute later, the keeper handed her a red drink in a glass with a little umbrella. "Alright, let's get this night started!" she said to her friends and comrades. OoC: here's a rough half-body of the outfit, which I made from a mug given to my by Rayl.
