Gelidus the young man's frosty white fluffy curly hair sparkled in the sun with his pale skin, walking into the poorer side of town, hoping to reach the forest at some point without questioning. it was quite annoying in the city, quite troublesome and loud, full of rude and cruel, selfish people. he much preferred the forests that lacked the rude humans and creatures around. maybe then he could find some peace. As he traveled through the town he received strange glares and weird looks, wishing he had a cloak to hide himself, but even then he'd be looked at strangely. The tall lanky man's white curly hair shined as his blue and silver gaze flashed across his surroundings, seeing a few poor children and a man selling bread not too far from there. He huffed, why not? . the young man began to walk over to the stand, he only had a few coins but maybe it'd be just enough. The man stand there and gives a judgmental glare, his gruff voice roughly sounding, "you don't have enough fool, get out of here." The young man looked at his feet shyly, "i-i just want to know how much." The old man glared as if warily watching the man, "3 coins... don't you even think about stealing." he said as he pointed towards the guards in the corner. Gelidis gulped, glancing towards the guards, they were very intimidating and scary, he didn't want to even be seen by them so he quickly pulled out all he had. exactly three coins. he frowned and huffed, "its all i have." the old man growled under his breath, "good." he snatched the coins and shoved the bread against gelidus's chest, "now get out of here." Gelidus nodded and quickly got out of sight before crouching down next to the children on the street.

Thalia . She listened to him. While she was looking out at sea. How would I know if he was lieing, I don't know his tells. She was inside and looked outside and saw the fire and him. He was laid out on the logs. One hand in his bag. Probably holding a weapon. She smirked realizing he was the male version of herself. She washed her hands of the blood and changed her attire into some clothes better suited for combat practice. She left the house and glanced at him. And under her breath she whispered. "I deserve loneliness." As she walked past the meet on the fire and behind the house with longer blades in her hands. She saw the targets arranged in a circle as she had placed them originally. She slashed and ducked garding from nothing and slashing again. After she got tired of it she took out her bow. Since she could see the targets while being next to the fire thats what she did. She took her aim. The sun in one of her eyes being a slight annoyance. She inhaled slowly and on the exhale she released. "Yes. A perfect bullseye." She glanced over to see if she woke him up.

Adonis . His gaze was locked on Era. She was fascinating to him. So calm and gentle and elegant. His green eyes full of wonder and curiosity. She was half nymph half mortal. He nodded as she reassured him she would be fine. He chuckled as even though they had just met he cared for her safety. "It isn't to hard to take a liking to someone so kind and sweet." He looked at Ammenadile who did confirm he said that. When she got off the stag and got closer to him he leaned back ever so slightly not knowing what to do. "Yeah, I guess we are a buddy group." As she ruffled his hair he grinning and stuck his tongue out at Ammenadile as a haha. She got back on her deer and road off into town he blushed and hurried up a tree to watch. "Ammenadile, see her off please. And give her this." Out of his bag he pulled out a glass flower. Ammenadile took it and bolted off inher direction. He sat on the branch and let his face go red as he exhaled deeply.

Caligo His dark armor gleamed and glittered in the sunlight as his hand grasped the blade he had in his hand, as he drifted into sleep he began to dream, dreams full of chaos, of destruction. a long time ago, he was the last heir to his kingdom, a child at that time. only 7 years old. His father was the last king of the dark elves and the kingdom was more of the size of a scout group. the human kingdoms had defeated and sucked the life from the elves and there forests. It was terrible. the day the humans attacked, the day he got his amulet, was the same day his father died, the same day he dreamt of every time he shut his eyes. his hand tightened around his blade as he began to breath hevier than normal in his sleep, in his mind he was running, hiding in the safe underground tunnel his parents had tild him to until the fighting stopped, the screams and yells of terror above him, curled into a little ball within the darkness, hiding from the scene as the last heir of the dark elves, but when he came up, when everything was errily silent, all he could see were the bodies of every member of the remaining kingdom. he stepped over the bodies to find his father, dying, bleeding so much on the ground. he was in so much shock as a child that he didnt cry, he didnt show remorse, just terror, not wanting to come close, never getting a final goodbye. his fathers words were only a whisper that rang inside his head, "take it... run far away from mortals, my son...I-" But before he could finish, his last breath collapsed and he was dead, the amulet in his bloody hand. Caligo remembered snatching it in terror and fleeing far away from the scene. he regretted the last day he had with his father, he regreted never saying goodbye. but then as he heard the exclamation from Thalia when she had hit a bullsye, the words didnt register and he woke with a start, instantly drawing the blade from his satchel and sitting up, tense, pointing it towards her but instant regret filled his gaze, putting it away quickly with a sigh, resting his head back on the rock as he tried to catch his breath, "im sorry... i just... didnt have the greatest sleep."

Era "It isn't to hard to take a liking to someone so kind and sweet." the words seemed to melt her worries and ring through her head as she blushed a little, glancing at her feet a moment before glancing back up at him with a light giggle, "that's very sweet of you, Adonis." she said with a warm smile in return, giggling rather bubbly at him as he stuck his tongue out at her after she had ruffled his hair, sticking her tongue back out at him playfully as she turned away to walk through the treeline, hiding her stag away in the forest before heading out, she knew that if Solas was seen by anyone, they would for sure steal him and stuff him or use him for a trophy of some sort. as she stepped carefully down the slope to the town, she watched across the rode as she began to walk across, smiling at a few strangers who simply stared, giving a wave in politeness as she crossed the rode onto the other side, her satin robe swaying in the breeze as a familiar voice called to her attention. it was a guard, but it wasn't a mean voice, it was Jerry, his booming voice calling out, "hey, Era!" Era turned and grinned, waving at him as she giggled softly, "hey, Jerry! hows your day? a good one i hope!" The guard chuckled, "yes, a few messy scoundrels around but no trouble so far." Era shook her head with a soft smile, "oh, but i doubt there all that bad, you know? you should try and get to know them, they're really nice if you try." the guard huffed with a chuckle, "so naive, little Era, but anyway, why don't you join me over tonight for dinner? just us?" Era shook her head with a laugh, "so sorry, even though its quite a kind offer, ill have to decline, im busy today, got other things to do." she smiled and began to walk on her way, "see you later, Jerry, tell Gerry i said hello for me will ya?"

Thalia . She had just hit the bullseye on the taget. A victory. Then she had a blade to her throat.looks like her suspicions about him holding a blade was right. She exhaled unamused as he apologized. "Your fine, wasn't the first time and probably won't be the last." She giggled as he put the blade back. She sat near the fire and turned the meet so it would be evenly cooked. "If you go in the house under the counter is a bunch of mead. If you want go grab a bottle snd some glaces." She nodded towards the door and looked at him with a slight bit of sadness. Tragedy seemed to be everywhere she went.she gazed back at the ocean where she saw Athelstan with a heard of horses and smiled at him, knowing he wouldn't see it anyways.

Adonis . As he watched Ammenadile take the glass rose flower to her. His gaze passed him and went to her, she was talking to a gard. Of course. He turned and jumped father down and deeper to the woods. Once he knew he was hidden he laid down on a branch and took out the flute and started playing the song that she reminded him of. He stared out at the sky and waited for Ammenadile to return. He could feel the sun on him, like he was bathing in warmth. Then he heard horses and a carriage. One of the men was in bright shiny armor and very upset. A perfect target. "How could she have gotten away. She was with a lion for crying out loud. Find her!" He jumped on the carriage and stayed low as they got close to the city.

Caligo The man frowned and wiped his hands off, as if feeling guilty for doing that. it wasn't something he had wanted to do. he was glad he hadn't hurt her. if he did, it would have been even more of a weight on him than the guilt he felt at the moment. her giggle didn't seem to ease it either, rubbing his face with his hands as if trying to clear his mind from the thoughts and fear he felt still nagging at him from his dream. he hated this, but at her suggestion he nodded, "yeah..." he paused and took a deep breath as he sat up, elbows resting on his knees as he looked at the fire. he couldn't look at her at the moment, too much guilt, "ill do that." with that the man stood and heavily walked to the house to open the door and walk in, strange how she trusted him, after he literally had her life in his hands, to go in her house and follow her directions. trusting him not to steal. He did as she said and looked under the counter, grabbing a bottle and some glasses before walking out with them in his hands, sitting back down at the fire as he glanced at her shortly with slight regret. he poured two glasses and handed one to her, offering a dip of his head, "thank you."

Dahlia . She had told the lion to go home and hoped of after grabbing a robe and went into town to hide. She kept her head low and moved at the pace of everyone else to not draw suspicion. Since she had coin on her she figured she could pick a few things up. She bought a basket and some meet. She walked over to the breadstand and avoided the guards. The bread man was being exceptionally rude to the man in front of her. After he bought his bread he went over to children. "I would like 2 loafs of bread please." He looked her up and down. "4 dracma." She looked at him puzzled. "Then why did you charge him 3 for one?" She looked at him and saw as his face grew somewhat red with shame. "Just take it and leave." So she did paying the 4 coin and she walked over to the man who was neer the children. "I apologize for that mans rudeness. Here take this. It isn't much but still." She handed him the spare two coins and half of a loaf of bread.

Era the young lady paused as a familiar bird called to her attention, "Ammenadile" she spoke as she smiled, her gaze flicking to the bird as it dropped off a beautiful glass flower, taking it gently into her hands as she ran a finger along a beautiful glass petal, a soft smile on her face as she glanced towards the trees of the forest with a warm expression, holding the glass flower to her chest as she giggled slightly, whispering under her breath, "thank you Adonis..." she blushed lightly and tucked it safely in her white and gold satchel that was hanging under her robe before walking off down the city. as she walked she breathed a soft deep breath as she made it to a group of poor older women, maybe in there 40's and 50's, they're eyes averting so sadly that it made her feel rather sad for them. she frowned and sat near them, "hey-" she dipped her head to each of them and smiled softly, "how are you ladies doing on this lovely day?" An old woman, on the farther older side, skinny and starved spoke with her raspy with age voice, "why are you speaking with us commoners?" The other two ladies kept quiet as Era spoke gently, "why, i thought it was polite to do so?" another woman spoke out with a hurt expression, "or are you going to call the guards over and claim us to be witches? just to have us burned on a stake for being poor?" Era gasped with a look of sorrow on her face, "oh heavens no! who would do such a horrible thing! only Hades himself id hope!" the larger old woman with a rather plump appearance and softer features spoke with a look of pity, "you, poor girl, your too young to understand, too naive..." she glanced towards the others before continuing, "that's just what wealthy people as yourself do to people like us..." Era frowned and took the woman's hands, "you poor ladies, ill get you something to eat, how about that? gosh im so sorry..." she pulled her hands away from each woman and hopped up quickly, "j-just wait here, ill be back." as she skipped away, an old woman leaned against the side of a house, "she's not going to come back, don't get your hopes up. poor girls going to be dead before she reaches 20."
