The Mingle RPG

Smiling, Chloe looked up at Straz. Raising an eyebrow, she suddenly felt like sparring.
Standing slowly, making sure not to scare Wolf, she began putting her hair up in a bun. "Come on Straz!" He looked up at her watching as she stripped off her cloak and removed her over garments until she was down to a short underdress. Grabbing her sword from the pile. He realized what she was doing. "Chloe... You are insane."
Shaking her head, she grabbed his arm, pulling him to his feet unwillingly. Stripping off his cloak he let it drop before he grabbed his sword as well. Walking to a clearing in the circle, Chloe and him started circling one another.
 
Chloe stopped lowering her sword. For a moment she looked at Wolf. "Oh, don't worry, we aren't going to hurt one anTHER!" she said screaming out the last part as she tried to bring her sword up fast enough to defend against the blow. It was to fast and knocked the sword out of her hand. Diving, she grabbed it, bringing it up to block another attack. Rolling, she moved quickly getting to her feet. Letting out a huff as she played defense, parrying blow after blow. He wasn't allowing her time to get on the offense. Angrily, she parried a blow at an angle to deflect it, spinning into the opening, she brought her sword around only to have it blocked. Grunting she jumped back, but not fast enough her sword was knocked out of her hand by another blow. Flying through the air it landed on the ground several feet away.
 
Renn picked it up... "it's too dangerous out here to be rough housing! Someone might hear us. You don't want the Clan owners to hear us! We would get... well something bad would happen!" Renn was scared of the Boar Clan. They were vicious, and you are NOT supposed to hunt on other Clan's territory.
 
Renn sighed, even though they were both older then her, they were alot less wise! Torak spotted some tracks of wolverine. They wern't fresh, but they were fresh enough to be worried about. Wolf wouldn't even fight a wolverine!!! They were vicious even if you didn't threaten them in any way! Torak stayed on guard, and watched Wolf constantly, if his ears pricked some one or something was coming.
 
Redressing Chloe panted slightly, the attack had been vicious. The worst news was that they might have alerted another Clan to their presence. Leaning down, Chloe resheathed her sword. As her wrist hit the sheath she felt the sharp sting of pain. Moving into the light, she looked. A cut was gouged across her wrist and a bruise was forming on her pinky. "Dang." She said quietly tearing a strip of fabric off her dress she bound her wrist.
 
Torak saw that Chloe had been hit. "You need to put this on it first, so that it doesn't get infected." He said handing her some birch bast. "You should wash it out at the stream first, then I have some bandages you can use, they hold better." Torak just then realized that even though he was going out with Renn he liked Chloe!!! :eek: He blushed deep red, Chloe noticed instantly.
 
Chloe raised an eyebrow. "Um, thanks," she said taking the offered item. Walking toward the stream, she felt Straz contact her thoughts. How bad is it? he asked.
Not too bad, enough to cause pain though.
Are you going to be alright?
Of course, Straz. It's only a flesh wound...
Do you need me to take you to the river?
I can walk... I hurt my hand not my legs....
Okay then... Take care.
By the time the connection was severed she had arrived at the river. Coming to the edge she used the birch, before washing the wound out. Returning back to the camp, she felt like she was being watched, but from where. Straz seemed to sense her tension. What's wrong?
Nothing, Chloe responded trying not to make it obvious her worry...
 
When Chloe got back he found himself staring at her!! He didn't know why either. Renn came and sat next to him. "Whatcha doin?" "Nothing!" He quickly broke his gaze.
 
When Chloe arrived back at camp she turned to look into the woods one more time. Nothing was there. "Hmm," Chloe said turning back around. Noticing Arya, she felt bad. Walking to her, she sat beside her. "Hello."
"Can I help you?" Arya said as she sat her eyes closed as if in meditation.
"No, not really, I just felt bad, I mean you are in the same pridicament that we are, and we haven't really talked with you much."
"I'm not interested in making friends," Arya said with no spite in her voice. She almost sounded pleasant. "I just want to return home."
"I understand that," Chloe said. "But while you are here, you should at least try and-"
"Excuse me," Arya said interupting her. "I do not believe I asked your opinion."
After a moment of shock, Chloe recovered, and stood. "Alrighty then."
Going over to Straz who was half asleep against a tree, she sat beside him. Looking over at her he was curious. "So... What did she say?"
"Nothing of importance," Chloe said. She wasn't a person to be easily angered. Instead she felt worse. She felt that her self centeredness had caused all of this.
 
Torak packed up the rest of the meat. "Everyone ready to go? We will cross the river, then we have about a days walk until we get to camp."
 
Torak again stayed in back, while Renn was in front. Again he found himself staring at Chloe. He couldn't help himself! They got to the river. "Can everyone swim??"
 
"I can fly," Straz said, "but I can't swim."
"I took swimming classes when I was 5!" Chloe said happily.
Arya on the other hand merely nodded.
 
"Good, Straz you fly to the other side, the rest of you, in the water!" Chloe jumped in, Torak felt a pleasure of seeing her in drenched clothes. They all swam across. "Do any of you need to dry your clothes before we go any farther?"
 
Chloe laughed. She had enjoyed being completely drenched as was thankful for the special clothing she wore. It dried almost instantly. It would be dry in about five minutes so she didn't have to worry. Taking her sword from Straz, she tied it to her waist, and wrapped herself in her cloak handing Arya her bow, and quiver, as well as her cloak.
