The Warped

[White Wolf Guardian]

"...I only do private contracting, I know nothing of megastructures, though I know a thing or two about houses. Sounds interesting Kiral, but industrial work isn't my forte as they say. Sounds all too complicated and overly stressed, just working privately works for me and I still manage to get the job done eventually. At least I don't have to share the earnings with anyone in my line of work." *The wolgon chuckled lightly and wondered what Mahi thoughts were on construction*

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Kiral's face smirked a dark, maniacal smile, "Well, neither do I. I am a private contracted man. Construction teams auction for my help." The sadistic look on Kiral's face faded as he became serious again, "But yea, the industrial field's pretty crazy work, but it helps with full body muscle training." He continued his discussion with White throughout the morning and into the afternoon without end.

"Craaaaaaaap!" Mahi pretty much yelled in her head when White kept up the conversation that Kiral had started. "I can't remember... Why did I choose this group again?" As the day went on and the discussion continued, she felt like she was going crazy. "Anytime now, anytime...some soldier can just come kill me or at least distract these two from their talk." At some point during the whole conversation, she had begun whistling to try to tune the guys out.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*By the afternoon the wolf dragon had lost track of time and then looked over at Mahi was just whistling away and decided to stop Kiral for a moment by raising a finger to his lips* "So... Mahi how do you manage to keep from getting bored while there's nothing to do? I always have trouble with withstanding situations, but I'm curious how might you go about that? Normally I would do something that requires some thought or just do something different."

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Kiral snapped out of his thought when he finally remembered that they had Mahi with them. "Yea, that's right. What DO you do in cases like this? I can't really imagine much for a blind girl to do, even back in our time. If I was in your shoes, I think I'd have killed myself while dying of boredom." He was insensitive on his choice of words, but he meant well.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Mahi stopped whistling a few seconds after White finished speaking, looking over at him like she had forgotten he was there even though she hadn't. "I'm sorry, did you say something?" She asked as if she hadn't heard anything that he had said but she really had heard him. Unfortunately, she didn't have the pleasure of having been whistling when Kiral spoke and couldn't play off not hearing what he had said, especially since he didn't sound as nice as White did. Her lips straightened into a hard line at hearing what Kiral said. "I do what any other person would do. I'm not that different." She said, practically spitting on the words like they were horrible things. "Generally, I ignore what bores me somehow." Staring straight ahead as she walked, what she meant by what she said was probably quite apparent.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*White looked away a bit hurt for being purposefully ignored* "Well seeing as how she wasn't whistling that loud, I guess that means she's been irritated for awhile. Well I'll drop the subject and I guess carry on with Kiral or find something to look at as we travel. Perhaps we could play one of those spotting games where we look for something unique everytime it comes along and then someone has to find it and they try. Probably nobody sporting except Kiral though." *He sighed and just kept looking forward*

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Kiral raised his arms and reached over behind his neck as he walked on, "Well, I find it hard enough to do that, and I can actually see. I mean, at the very worst, I have to use my imagination, but you don't even know what anything looks like or even seen anything in your life. How the hell can you do that? What's your take on this, White?" He sighed, at a loss, at wondering how it works for Mahi.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

"When you've never been able to see in your life, you need a really good imagination. It takes a lot more effort to picture things when you don't see color or fine details so I can occupy myself a lot better." Mahi responded, talking casually like what he had said earlier hadn't bothered her at all. "You get used to it when you live in darkness your whole life..." Her voice had a tiny hint of sadness in it that could be hard to detect when she said that but her expression stayed normal.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*White glanced over when Kiral mentioned him and was initially cross-eyed* "I just think of it like that movie Daredevil, he just sensed everything and that's how he was able to see the movements of people and things around him as they came. Also even in real life some of the blind made their hearing so sensitive that they could click audibly and hear the sound come back to them and judge how far away something was, supposedly there's actually a blind motorcycle driver that does that. Doesn't sound like it would work very well to me, but Mahi hasn't been even close to being downed by any weapon or enemy so as long as your other sensations still work anything is probably still possible."

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Kiral was silent for the rest of the day, not really in the mood to say anything more, lost in thought. Only twice, did they have to play their phony identities, when a few merchants were traveling through the main road. At night they left the main road and found some bushels of trees that were thick enough that not even a fire could be seen from the road. After several tries, Kiral finally got the fire to go with the flint that they were given. Before sitting down, he took the cigarette that he'd been biting on all day, and lit it up, smoking it happily to relax.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Mahi listened to White's thoughts on what was being talked about, still feeling unhappy after the last thing she said. She was surprised that Kiral didn't talk at all after that. Both times that they needed to act out their fake identities, she did so. When they finally found a place to rest for the night, she had pulled the small bag out of her bag and given it to Kiral for him to use whatever was in it to start a fire with. She sat Indian-style on the ground by the fire once it was started and angled her head down so it was like she was staring at her hands which were in her lap, which she pretty much was in her own way.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*The wolf dragon said nothing either the entire journey, and pained through the moments where he had to disguise his posture and assume the fake identity in behavior* "Well I assume it's going to be silent the entire time, when customers are nasty as well I don't really say much since nothing will help other than getting the job done. I guess the same thing can be said here, by getting the job done we can separate again." *When they finally set up camp for the night he kept to himself and didn't make eye contact with either companion, just watched after Kiral managed to get a fire started as the wood crackled under the howl of the flames*

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Kiral finished off his first cigarette and exhaled relaxingly as he stared up at the sky. "So what do you guys think? Think we'll be able to accomplish our task? I'm not one to worry, but I'm partially wondering what's happened to the other group. After all, according to the old fart, we need all seven of us to make the journey and complete this prophecy." Kiral put out the cigarette gently and removed the smoked portion carefully and put it back in his pack. He then pulled out another one and lit it.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Mahi raised her head as she heard Kiral speak for the first time in hours. "I have no idea if we'll be able to do it. If I keep basically fighting without realizing what I'm doing until later, it could go either way, for me at least." She said in response. "Hopefully the others are okay. We don't need anyone dying during all this, whether we actually do need everyone or not." She angled her head up toward the sky then back toward the ground.
