Lore: Forgotten Enemies

Rai wondered around the dinning hall or common room, what ever the name of it was called. She couldn't find the man she had seen last night. She felt kind of sad because she wanted to see him do more magic.

Soran halted and turned back to her as she placed her hand on his arm. He noted her weak smile and tried to lighten his expression. "Seems we're both having strange dreams," he said, and then developed the thought for a moment. He sat down next to her on the bed. "Is it possible they're connected?" he said thoughtfully. Two bad dreams were hardly cause for suspicion of some larger cause, but there was also the consideration that Soran didn't normally see dreams and the especially vivid nature of the dreams.

"Hello little one," the inn keeper said, cleaning a mug in his hands. "Where is your mommy or daddy?"

"Soran and Mizuki are upstares. I can looking for the magic man!" Rai said grinning. "Have you seen him?"

"No I don't believe I know who your talking about... You might want to get back to your family before they worry," he said smiling.

Mizuki looked at him thoughtfully. Blade still cooing beside them and sucking his thumb. "You're having strange dreams?" she asked him, interested. As far as she knew, Soran didn't dream.

"Just once, at the camp the night before last," Soran said awkwardly, feeling strange talking about something so personal.

Jhaptal came down from his room, fully rested and decided to stop by the bar for a quick bite to eat. Sitting down at the same table he sat at yesterday, he ordered a meal of bacon and eggs. He thanked the waitress, a different one from last night, and began eating his meal.

Rai turned around in the common area until she saw a man, for the life of her she couldn’t think of why he caught her eye she just thought he was cool looking. She saw him sit at a table with an empty chair across from him and she walked over and crawled up into the chair, sitting on her knees and leaning over the table, staring at him.

She just stared for a very long time as if thinking about something. “What’s your name?” she asked and leaned over a little more to see what he was eating. “My name is Rai.”

Jhaptal smiled at the girl. "I'm Tensho," he responded. "Nice to meet you." Jhaptal decided to entertain the girl with some slight of hand tricks, he had nothing better to do after all. "Wouldja like to see some tricks?" he asked, in between a bite of bacon.

Rai giggled and nodded, almost climbing over the table completely to get closer to him. "I like tricks," she said and looked at a role on his plate. "Can I have that?" she asked poking a hole in the bread with her finger by accident. She had plenty of curly strands of hair falling in front of her bright blue gray eyes.

Mizuki noticed that he was uncomfortable and moved away slightly. "You don't have to tell me." she said, slightly blushing and a little dissapointed, but she wouldn't let him see that. She smiled slightly and patted his arm. Blade wiggled his way onto Soran's lap, cooing and blowing spit bubbles.

Mizuki's understanding, yet disappointed eyes held Soran's captive for a long moment. He was grateful for her attempt not to force him, and it made him calm enough to speak. "While I was asleep, I saw you covered in blood, very angry, and a knife-.. Well, you got me and I struck back. When I woke up, I could feel the wounds from the dream, and other...things. I don't know what dreams are normally like, but it seemed too real for what I had imagined them to be," he said in a low voice, choosing every word carefully. He looked up again and met her eyes. "It wasn't perfect, though," he noted without thinking, "in the dream, your eyes weren't nearly as bright." He clamped his jaw and flushed as he realized what he'd said, green eyes flashing away.

"Sure," Jhaptal said kindly and thought about the trick he should perform. It was all the same really, and it would involve sleight of hand. Thinking, he made his utensils disappear before making them reappear and throwing them into the air and starting a juggling act for the little girl.

Mizuki's eyes changed from utter horror of his dream, to glinting shyly. She set a shooting hand on his arm again. "That was a nightmare, sometimes they can feel real... maybe, that was what mine was." she said, careful not to embarass Soran again by mentioning his comment on her eyes. After traveling and being with him for as long as she had, she had begun to learn that intamancy made him uncomfortable. Something she giggled about herself, but understood fully and would give him his space.

Soran nodded, not really convinced. Supposedly, most people saw dreams almost every night. He could not imagine they underwent such vivid visions on a regular basis so calmly.

Of more importance to him for the moment, however, was that his heartbeat was racing. He looked at Mizuki's slender hand on his arm thoughtfully. It was similar to what he experienced in battle, but the anger and danger were missing. A feeling he got around Mizuki more and more often. He knew now what to call it, but not how to deal with it. So, he avoided it.

"I'll meet you downstairs soon, then," he said with a calm voice, standing again. His hand graced against hers as he slipped his arm away, and he gave her a reassuring nod before leaving the room. He crossed the hallway and returned to his own room, where Siren was still sleeping on the bed and Rai had apparently woken up and wandered somewhere.

"Hey, it's morning," he said coolly, tugging lightly on one of Siren's wings as he sat down in a chair and brought his thoughts back under control.

Blade crawled into his mother's lap as she stared out after Soran.

"Moma," he cooed and Mizuki looked down at him with shimmering eyes.

"Let's get ready for the day then get downstairs." she said to the boy and Blade cooed agreeingly. After she had fed Blade, she washed him in the water basin after she had washed her face. She searched into one of her bags and pulled out a loose cotton shirt with ties at the front and a pair of breeches. She quietly thanked her mother and put them on. She got Blade into a new diaper and clothes and headed downstairs with him. She looked for Red and Soran but didn't fine either. Instead she found Rai, sitting with a strange man...
