[spoiler]sure works for me[/spoiler]
[b][i]Xeno walked forward through the forest as the sound of running water was now prevalent. The water crashing down from a cliff side into a basin below. Turning back to Cael he gives him a slight smile.[/i][/b]
"You know if you two need friends we don't mind being one. We are... fairly new here ourselves. Although you would have to pardon the well.."
[b][i]He points to Minerva as she swoops down under some trees out of sight. Raising an eyebrow Xeno shrugs as Minerva comes back. A wolf now with a black and red coat. Her yellow eyes scanning the area as she smells.[/i][/b]
"Well us being able to do stuff like that."
[b][i]He chuckles as he sits down placing himself against a tree trunk near the waterfall. Looking over at the man to make sure Minerva didn't freak him out by the change.[/i][/b]

[i]"Shapeshifting is not something I am unused to. The supernatural has much greater of an affect on my sister, who has had some bad experiences with it; you've noticed the runic scars on her torso? Yeah, well... she wasn't exactly given them willingly. But that's a story for another time, and for her to tell. More importantly is what we will be doing in this area... but I may as well get cleaned up first."[/i] Cael sighed, taking his mage robes off; the blood had dried, making the robes rather tough and dark red in appearance. The mage climbed upwards to the top of the waterfall, where he would begin washing the robes thoroughly. As Cael cleaned himself up, a shuffling sound was heard somewhere behind Xeno; this was about ten minutes or so after their arrival. From where Cael and Xeno had arrived was Roxy, who was staring upwards at the waterfall, watching multiple tons of water cascading down. She was clearly more wounded than she had been before she had left. There were countless, moderately sized cuts all over her arms, and so much blood that the entirety of her arms were painted red. Her ginger hair, too, was drenched with blood, and was plastered to her head. Her saber was in its sheathe, however katana still in her right hand. Its blade's original color could barely be seen, for it was covered in just as much blood as the rest of herself.

[b][i]Xeno pauses as he looks to Minerva, the wolf nodding as it becomes white. Entering his body as a tattoo is formed on his left arm. Flames burning his arm forming a symbol of a Phoenix as he does so. Moving forward towards Roxy a flame wraps around her arms. Not burning her but seeming to close any wounds that were able to be closed.[/i][/b] "Look I know I can't heal the blood and wounds from the runes. But this is the least I can do. Besides if you bleed to much you will leave a trail and someone will find you." [b][i]He turns back to the waterfall as the magic flame still dances on her. A warm feeling passing over the afflicted area where it was working on before it vanishes.[/i][/b] "If you want some privacy while cleaning up the water at the base would hide you best." [b][i]He shrugs as tattoo seems to peel off his skin. White light connecting the symbol and creating the wolf once more.[/i][/b] "But like you said it doesn't bother you so I'm not sure why I'm saying that."

Roxy was silent as she stared at the waterfall, and seemed to register Xeno's words a little late. A few moments later, she blinked, shaking her head. [i]"Huh? Oh... alright. Uh, thanks."[/i] She looked at the now healed wounds on her arms in surprise, then back at Xeno. Her face was surprisingly blank, emotionless and thoughtless; it was as though her consciousness was elsewhere. She sat down a few feet away from Xeno, not bothering to get herself cleaned up. The bleeding from her runes have appeared to have stopped for the time being. After a few short moments, she spoke, half to herself, half to Xeno. [i]"... why must bloodshed always surround us? Why is death always so certain.... Oh, never mind."[/i]

[i][b]Xeno looks over draping his jacket over her. Using it to cover some of the blood as he sits down next to her. Minerva moving towards the water keeping an eye on Cael.[/b][/i] "That's just a part of life... blood, violence, death. It happens to everyone, some of us it follows more than others. But that's why some of us stay with others that understand. So that we don't feel so alone in this death filled world." [b][i]He looks at her face and looking into her eyes before turning back to the falls. His eyes closing as he lets out a relaxed sigh.[/i][/b] "But it's also people that have death follow them that can appreciate the beauty of things." [b][i]He can feel the grass in his hand as a slight breeze hits him. A smile on his face as he shakes his head.[/i][/b] "Anyways we should probably at least clean up your hair. I'm sure it would be a pain to get out if it sets in for to long."

[i]"Give me some privacy, ya god-forsaken, perverted bird!"[/i] Cael yelled indignantly; he was hidden away from Xeno's and Roxy's line of sight, but what the bird probably saw was Cael trying to clean himself up. Meanwhile, Roxy let out a sigh, running her right hand through her blood-crusted, ginger hair. She nodded at Xeno's suggestion, standing up to slowly dip her head into the river, allowing the running water to wash away the blood that stained her face and hair. After a few moments, she withdrew her head, soaked with river water. She gently dried her face off with her shirt, before sitting back down, rubbing her eyes slightly. [i]"Th-thank you,"[/i] She stammered out, averting her gaze. [i]"And sorry about... earlier."[/i]

Edited by Excelkid: 7/9/2017 11:14:05 PM[b][i]Minerva came back sitting on a branch. Looking around the area as she looked back at Roxy and Xeno. Giving them so privacy as Xeno smiles looking at her. Looking at the blood stained clothing as he points at his jacket on her.[/i][/b] "You should put that on. Until you can you can zip it up and cover the blood." [b][i]He smiles as he looks towards the water stretching. Blinking as he processed her thank you. Looking back at her he nods at her.[/i][/b] "Anytime, and so you know it's okay it happens." [b][i]He gently pats her on the back as he smiles looking down with a tiny bit of a blush.[/i][/b] "A-Anyways keep the jacket so if you ever need to cover up blood you can. And if you need to ditch clothing you can use it to cover up."
-
[i]"O-okay,"[/i] She murmured softly, slowly putting her bloody arms into the sleeves of the jacket, then zipping it up. It covered all of her upper body, where blood was most noticeable, and after she had cleaned her face she could almost pass for a civilized human behind if it weren't for her torn, bloody sweatpants and dirt-covered, bare feet. She slowly leaned back on the trunk of a tree, staring upwards at the sky. It was a little past noon by now, and the sun had risen quite a bit since the slaughter of the village. Roxy closed her eyes and sighed, doing her best to relax in the warm light of the sun. After a short moment she opened her eyes once more, turning her head to face Xeno. She spoke softly, not as though she was scared of being overheard, but simply because she didn't have the energy to continue being loud and rude. [i]"... why are you so... nice? Even after I was a jerk to you."[/i] It seemed as though she was actually aware of her own rudeness; thus probably meaning it was deliberate.

Edited by Excelkid: 7/10/2017 11:21:18 PM[b][i]He looks at her with a smile before leaning back against the trunk with her. His eyes gazing up into the sky as he closes his eyes enjoying the feeling. [/i][/b] "You were stressed out it happens to everyone. Even if you were meaning to be rude to me that doesn't mean I should be the same way." [b][i]He keeps his eyes closed his hair swaying as a gently breeze washes over them. A peaceful look on his face as he opens his eyes once more.[/i][/b] "Me and Minerva... we are what's know as Soul Devourers. Although the title sounds horrible it isn't what you would think. We find spirits or monsters or well.. people going crazy. We beat them and offer them an option. They can either die where they stand or..." [b][i]He pauses looking at his hands as if debating if this was alright to say. Shaking his head he lets out a sigh.[/i][/b] "Or there soul can live in Minerva forever. They get to live in a Spirit realm and we gain there powers. I'm new to the field work part of it but..." [b][i]He takes his hand rubbing the back of his head. A look on his face as if he knows he's rambling on.[/i][/b] "I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't know if I'll always make it back. So might as well be kind and make the most out of the time I have. So it's just... I don't see a point in getting upset with others when I can just let it slide. Just makes the time I have here easier that way." [b][i]He glances over blushing a small bit as he smiles happily at her. Looking at her face as seems to become a little more shy. [/i][/b] "Besides how could I hold a grudge against someone so beautiful." [b][i]Turning his head away quickly he looks back towards the water. As if trying to pretend that would some how make him seem less embarrassed.[/i][/b]
