She was almost there when Valin black wyvern caught him. Seeing his mount taking him to safety, Venessa pulled on the reigns and Sorrow pulled out from the suicide dive. With the momentum gained, she had Sorrow go back up towards the two racing. The rush had caught up to her as she was excited at what had transpired. Keeping their distance, Venessa watched the two riders as Valin was trying to comfort the young boy ontop his new wyvern. Gently patting the kneck of Sorrow, she would say to her. "You did good girl. For that you'll get a treat once we land." Realizing that her helmet was still at where she was, she decided to go back and grab it. FLying down for it, she would lean down her saddle with her hand streched for it. Dust bellowed upwards as Sorrow was just an inch off the ground. Sorrow set her two feet onto the ground and Venessa hopped off again. But before going for the helmet, she would take out of her one bag a large hunk of beef that she was saving for her mount. Laying it on the ground, sorrow wold devour it as Venessa went over and grabbed her black helmet.

“Umm, I am sorry father”, spoke Shugo the words came out in a low tone. Shugo viewed Valin with respect and caring, but calling him father was a bit embarrassing. He had called him Valin for so long, but in truth he looked up to the man as such. As shugo spoke with Valin he noticed the other rider picking up her helmet.
“Oh thank you”, shouted Shugo as he waved at venessa. He then turned back towards his new wyvern. “I am going to call you Luna”, spoke Shugo.

Valin said it as a joke but when Shugo called him father it brought to light that what he wanted. Valin wanted a family, and know he had a son in his apprentice at the very least. Valin began to weep and laugh as the flurry of joy, pride, and sorrow over whelmed him. "You have done well Shugoshi. *sniff* My master did the same thing to me. Lunhahaaha. *sniff clears throat* Luna is a fine name may you two always fight as one mind, one soul, may your bodies be a shield to the weak and a sword against evil, and when you die may your find each other in the after life." Valins thoughts slipped back to family, Shugo would need a mother, maybe... Then it hit him that Lady Blackthorn was still there and he needed to apologize again. He sped back to the ledge, wiped away the tears, and jumped off as soon as he landed. Dropping to one knee and bowing his head he said. Milady Blackthorn I must apologize again for what I have said I. As a knight I ask how i can make ammends to the lady."
Oc. Ya Valins old school like that

She was about to put on her helmet until she was stopped by the sudden rush of Valin who began to go through his way of Apologizing to her once again. Looking at him as he did so, she would put her helmet under her arm again thinking of a way of doing such. "I'm not sure Sir Valin. But I do Forgive you." Looking at Shugo, she would wave back to him as she would think to herself. 'Whats with Everyone calling me Lady Black or Lady Blackthorn? Is my father that reknown?' Leaning against Sorrow, she would pull out a piece of dried up meat that was smoked for a good long time and took a nibble off it waiting to see what the two Bern Rider's would do since she was out of her country. 'Hmmm, thats good. I need to buy alot more for my long travels. A good snack for those long night flights.'

“Oh did something happen”, asked Shugo. He was so busy with the wyvern that he had missed the whole commotion. He had no idea that Valin and Vanessa were at once at odds. Putting some thought into it Shugo figured it was best not to force the issue. “Hay father watch this”, shouted Shugo as he kicked the Wyvern again. The young newly wyvern rider flew off into the air. He held onto Luna tight as the beast spent through the air doing tricks and turns.

Valin looked up and cocked his head. It can't be that simple. I guess woman are more forgiving then i thought. I need to go see Yashi soon. Standing up Valin waved to Shugo "Nothings wrong. I'm just an idiot is all." Looking at the woman Valin lowered his head. "Milady if I may be so bold what are you doing here? As you said before you are Etrian, so how did you come upon you mount and what business do you have in this country?" He made sure to avert his gaze, he knew his station, he was a commoner turned knight with dirt in his blood and she was a true noble with honor and war in hers.

While taking off her armour and setting them in special slots on her saddle, she would be glad to be out of the pitch black armour. Stretching for a bit, she would hear the question that Valin had posed onto her. Turning to look at him, she would smile while replying. "Well, I decided to take a break from my unit as the only flying Scout. We don't have many Wyvern Rider's in Etruria. Except for the Knight that taught me who was from Bern. He told me many stories about great Wyvern Knights and Lords that were from Bern. So, following his advice to go to Bern and take a look at their Riders. I must say, I'm pretty impressed so far at how your country rules the skies. You can pretty much say I'm on my RnR. That and I don't feel like seeing my father at the current moment. Since I'm his eldest child, he wanted me to be like him. A knight in heavy armour, but my mind was set when I heard the man stories since I was alittle gal." Finishing her stretching, she would take a sip of water from her Water sack that rested on the saddle and offered some to Valin and the youngster named Shugo.

Seeing that the conversation had lighten and his mood helping skills were no longer needed Shugo brought his mount back down. In truth however he wanted some water. Before walking towards Vanessa Shugo stopped and took a look at Valn. Venessa was a knight and in truth Shugo had no idea of the customs of nobles and such. He wondered if there was some special ritual he was suppose to go through, or if the fact that she was from outside Bern was also a bad thing. Shugo had never thought about politics before, but if he was going to become a freelance he might need to do so, or at the very lease in his mind.

"I am fine. Its not my station to partake in a Nobles stores even when offered. Like I said before I am a freelancer, those hold no land or status." Valin said smiling but still avoiding eye contact. It was then that he noticed that Shugo was waiting for approval. "That said children are above such petty things a status. So he may have something if offered with out offending anyone or anything." Valin ruffled Shugos hair and walked back to Albues who was growling at Luna. The knight punched the drake in the back of the head. "You know better then to threaten a lady scales for brains!" Lowering his head and forcing Albues to do the same Valin turned to the white drake. "My deepest apologizes. I would like to welcome you to the family."
O.c. Albues is unnaturally intelligent for a wyvern and Valin doesn't understand this and thinks all Wyvern are as intellagent or more so.

Venessa raised an eyebrow as she listened to Valin speak. Smiling to herself, she would toss the water skin to Shugo so he could have some. Placing her hands on her hips she would then counter what Valin said. "So our saying that you'd rather offend a Lady who is Offering said drink to you so you can hold your status as a Freelancer? And also, being a Noble isn't as it's cracked out to be. Mind you yeah, I got my own plot of land that I bought from being in the military. But it's a small farm off in the Etruria country side. Enough room for a herd of Cattle and maybe a dozen or more Wyvern's. Two floor house. Nothing impressive in my mind." She was about to talk about her father when she decided to bite her tongue and stop herself to save the two Bern Rider's the agony of listening to her stories of her Father.

“Thank you”, spoke Shugo as he took the water. He poured some of it into a jug he hand and gulped it down. His throat was very dry from all the screaming he had done before. Valin began to talk to a wyvern which was a little weird, but Valin was the wyvern rider not him. Maybe you are supposed to talk to them like that. As Vanessa began to talk about how nobility was not as good as it sounded, but to Shugo everything she said sounded pretty impressive. Shoot shugo’s parents were both tradesmen one being a renown blacksmith and the other being a prized silk weaver and they still did not have anything like she said. What she considered to be small and minute Shugo thought was the greatest thing one could ask for.
“Umm, Lady Blackthorn”, spoke Shugo. He remembered Valin calling her that. “I hate to sound rude, but what you just said was a life dream for some of the other kids from my home village. Land, cattle, and Wyverns, that is far beyond most of our capability to reach even with skilled background. Oh here is your water back”, spoke Shugo as he handed her back her container.

Still Faceing the wyvern and petting Albues's head. "I have to agree with Shugo." He turned around and crossed his arms. "I was a farmer until my eighteenth winter. No one in the village owned our land and most years after tariffs we hand barely enough food to survive. I became a knight ten winters ago firstly so my village wouldn't be affected by my curse any longer and secondly so I could own land, nothing big just enough to waste away in solitude. But when my master died in a rock slide all of that was washed away." He the walked up to Shugo and put a hand on the boys shoulder. "Not that i would trade what I have now for those things now. Were just saying never under sell what you have, what your father gave you."

Raising her hand, she would let out a smile and said to young Shugo. "Keep it, I got a few others on my saddle." Placing her thumb underneath her chin and her index finger on the upper part of it, she would begin to think to herself of an Idea that could possibly benefit everyone. Placing her hand back off to her side, she would speak up again. "Ok, how about this then for both of you. You two riders can stay at my house. I got enough rooms to hold a squad, so space isn't an issue with me. I offer this to you both as a friend and as a lady of Etruria. And as for my father, he gave me nothing but training. He wanted me to be either a soldier like my mother or a Knight like him. As you can see, I choose my own path of choice. My fate is in the sky, with Sorrow." The wyvern heard it's name and lifted her head up looking at Venessa.
Venessa smiled and gently patted her Wyvern's head while fishing out some food for her mount. A slab of beef came out as she held it out to Sorrow and sorrow took it gently from her rider's hand. Watching her Wyvern eat, she would look at the other two Wyvern's and would ask outloud. "Any of you hungry? I got enough food to last a month for two. Which I'm glad since the company I had was driving me a bit insane and I needed my space from him at the moment." Taking the two bags filled with different meats, she would set them on the ground. Reaching into her saddle bag, she would take out a tinder box and some dried up grass, hay, and twigs. Bunching the grass and straw together, she would take her lance's tip and strike a stone across it making sparks. Once lit, she would place the twigs onto the fire. Looking around, she would see a few dead logs. Thinking to herself, she would walk over to one and lift up the one end and dragged it over to the fire. Stabbing the log, she would get chunks of the dead log and threw it into the fire making it larger.
By the time she was done, the log was half was chopped through and was able to hold two on it. Aiming her hand to it, she was making the gester for the two to sit down. Taking out a few differnt meats, she would take her Iron lance and impaled them with it and placed it over the fire letting it cooked like that. The wooden part wasn't near the fire since her lance's tip was three inches long. The iron covered a bit of the wood as the meats sizzeled from the fire.

"Thank you", spoke Shugo as he placed the water into his bag.
Venessa offered the two knights a stay at her home. It was a bit weird to Shugo, but he did not voice it. He in truth did not know how to respond. Instead he looked to Valin. Valin was always a reliable source. "Va.... I mean father", spoke Shugo who was now conscious of calling Valin such. "What should we do in this situation? I am not sure if we should accept or should we deny."

Valin shuck his head. " I don't think thats a good idea. We are...." Valin thought about it a minute. "I really have no place to go. Shugo needs a stable place to live." "On second thought we would be honored. Shugo and I could be your land retainers. I can grow crops and you may keep the profits. A simple and time honored agreement don't you think?" The read haired man mounted his Wyvern. Giving Albues a scratch behind the horns he looked at the noble woman with a weak smile. "If you agree lead on. I just ask that we stop at a town of Littlerock. I have something to take care off."
