Re: Revenge. (Reserved)

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

After a while of walking Risa started up her very melodic humming, which no one complained about. It was usually the only entertainment they got aside from the occasional conversation or argument. Aside from that they were silent aside from the occasional direction from Adaline. None of them really knew how long they had been walking before the large lake appeared before them, and the ground started to get more marshy. Adaline didn't seem to like the change in terrain but she didn't complain. It didn't seem to bother the elves or Kai and Cayden didn't mind it either, and it was true that none of them, except for maybe Risa, gave a damn what Magnus thought as they continued to walk. Risa looked over at the water and couldn't help but smile, not stopping her humming though, she did like the view.

[RippedNose]

Magnus glanced up when Risa started humming. It was a nice sound, and gave something to hear other than his own breathing, and soft footsteps. If he couldn't have his iPod at the moment, at least he had this. A while later, the lake came into view, but he only glanced up at it as he walked, keeping his eyes mostly fixed on the ground under his feet, making a face at the change in terrain. His boots were going to be ruined after a while in this marshy area, but he was sure he could fix them later. They just wouldn't be as nice. His stomach grumbled loudly and he sighed. If he had enough magic left, he would get something to eat in an instant. He wasn't used to being this drained. And when he was, he just slept it off, and got things manually from his fridge or something.

Shay, Risa and Adaline heard Magnus's stomach growl loudly since he did nothing about it all three of them figured he was still tired from the portals. Shay looked to Risa who nodded, he then took the bow off his back and readied an arrow looking around before closing his eyes he turned sharply and shot into some tall reeds by the water side. Birds took flight but he knew he hit one. He ran forward and picked up the relatively large bird he had managed to hit through the head, he knew it wouldn't be enough to feed all of them, but he knew he only really had to worry about Kai and Magnus, he would catch more if it was necessary. He walked back up to the group with a small smile, "Dinner anyone?" he asked knowing it wasn't much but they didn't usually have much else, and the types of animals around here would be animals like birds. He figured his sister and Adaline would be able to find something else for them to eat along with it.

[RippedNose]

Magnus glanced up as Shay drew his bow, and he raised an eyebrow. An arrow was shot into a patch of reeds, and he watched as the birds flew up, startled. He didn't doubt that the elf had hit something, and sure enough after he had darted off to the reeds, he came back with one of the animals. He raised his eyebrows, sizing up the bird. He hadn't eaten game in a long time, but he knew it wasn't bad. He wouldn't be creeped out by eating something like that, like some humans he knew would. "You are going to cook it, right?" he asked, his tone a bit skeptical. There was no way he would eat it raw, but he had no idea if they planned on stopping to cook it or not.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Risa had stopped humming and she looked over her shoulder at Magnus as he spoke. She frowned, "Should I be offended by that. We're not savages you know." Shay shook his head Adaline, Cayden and Kai had already walked off away from the lake to find dry land to start a fire on. Risa decided she wasn't going to bother waiting for an answer as she took the animal from her brother and went to go cut it and get it ready for cooking while Shay went off to find some wood to start a fire with. It was about two minutes of walking before the ground was dry enough beneath their feet for them to find it practical to start a fire. Cayden had himself seated near a tree not really wanting to bother with helping, they didn't need his help now anyways.

[RippedNose]

Magnus hadn't been trying to imply that, but he shrugged it off anyways. "Never know" he shrugged, tossing his hair back from his face. He knew many people who didn't bother with cooking their food, and they weren't exactly savage. It was always safe to ask. He followed up onto dryer land, watching as people headed off to do their jobs, and he couldn't help but wonder how long they had been together. They all seemed to know what they needed to do, and for Cayden, that seemed to be nothing. Once the wood was gathered, he would have enough magic left to start the fire quickly, but he was sure that was it. That would be his bit to help out for now. He sat down slowly, sighing as he did. He hadn't gotten to sleep like Cayden did.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

The group worked quickly, after a matter of minutes Risa had handed Kai a match(she didn't trust Kai to carry them.) and he started up the small fire on some relatively dry leaves under the wood Shay had found and Cayden pointed his palms toward the fire and worked on feeding it more oxygen until it was a decent size for a cooking fire. Adaline who had gone off had come back with an armful of edible greens for them as well and soon enough they had the bird over the fire. Cayden had only moved slightly closer because he couldn't help but want to be closer to the warmth of the small fire. He turned to Magnus none the less when everything was all set up. "See, we get along fine without you." he hissed glaring sharply at the tall man.

[RippedNose]

Magnus leaned back on his palms and let his head fall back, and when he looked back up, the fire was started. He blinked a few times before shrugging. He didn't care how close he was the the fire, the warlock blood in him keeping him warmer than most people. He watched as the bird was put over the fire, and his stomach growled again. He glanced at Cayden at the hiss, raising his eyebrows. "Well obviously if you hadn't, you'd all be dead by now" he pointed out, shrugging. "No need to be so. . . hostile" he sighed, knowing by now that Cayden wasn't very good at being civil.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Cayden rolled his eyes, turning his head away from Magnus, he didn't care how he was acting, he had only gotten twenty minutes of sleep and it had been a draining day, he was surprised Magnus hadn't passed out yet. He could admit though that he was only being hostile because he did not want Magnus around, especially if he was going to have to worry about being raped by him in the near future. Risa who was chewing at some fruit that Adaline had brought back glanced over at Magnus and Cayden neither of whom looked all that happy. She frowned as she went back to watching the food, making sure not to burn it. Kai was kneeling next to her looking rather impatient not that she could blame him, none of them had really eaten in almost a day now. When she said she though the food was done Kai had some right away eating into like he hadn't eaten in weeks. She picked one portion up and walked over to Magnus kneeling in front of him and offering it to him, "Here you go, I'm sorry if it's not cooked enough or something, I was being rushed." She said with a laugh.

[RippedNose]

Magnus rolled his eyes as well when Cayden turned away. He would have commented on him being immature, but that would be pretty hippocritical, despite his age. He sighed, able to smell the cooking bird, and it was driving him crazy. He wasn't used to going this long without eating. He let his head fall back again, his hair falling away from his face as he studied a tree behind him with lack of anything better to do. He looked up as he caught sight of Risa coming towards him, and soon she was kneeling in front of him and holding food out. He sat up and brushed his hands off on his pants before reaching up to accept the food. "Thanks. It's fine, as long as it's not raw" he shrugged. He had eaten undercooked meat more than once in his life, and hadn't died, so he would be fine. He brought the meat to his mouth, sinking his teeth into it with a light sigh. He really was hungry, especially after using so much energy up today.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Risa smiled as Magnus took the food before sitting down next to him pulling her knees up to her chin and wrapping her arms around her legs. "Yeah, I'm sure it's fine, especially if you're hungry." she said with the slightest of laughed. She turned to Cayden, "Cayden, there's probably enough for you too." she stated with a thin smile sensing Cayden's very fowl mood. Cayden just shrugged and Risa didn't press further knowing when to shut up when it was necessary, it wasn't like she tried to always piss Cayden off like she did, but she had a feeling he would be even more edgy now with Magnus in their group.

[RippedNose]

Magnus ate quickly, trying to fill his stomach as quickly as possible, but not fast enough to make himself sick. He hated feeling sick, and there would be nothing he could do about it at the moment. He smiled slightly and nodded at Risa's words, agreeing completely. Anything was good when he was hungry. He glanced up when Cayden was adressed, but the silverette didn't do much about it. He knew that Cayden was in a bad mood, but so was he. He was just in a generally bad mood. He had had his house burned down, and now he was going with a group of kids against his better judgement, leaving Chairman Meow with a stranger for god knows how long. He finished eating soon and he sat back, letting out a sigh and wiping his mouth. "That was pretty good. . . thanks" he was speaking to everybody who had helped with preparing that little meal when he spoke.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

"It's not a problem, I mean you're staying with us of course we're going to have to make food anyway." Risa said with a smile nodding slightly at her own words. She noticed her brother giving her the smallest of smiles.

"If you guys want to stop for today we can." Adaline said to the group from where she was sitting next to Kai eating. "I'm sure Magnus and Cayden are tired so it would be for the better, right?" She asked her head turning towards Magnus. Cayden sighed loudly as he let himself fall back hitting the grass with a dull thud his eyes closing obviously thinking this was a good idea. Adaline noticed and continued speaking, "If that's alright with you Magnus." she added with a slight frown having this feeling that he would be incredibly opposed to sleeping on the ground.

[RippedNose]

Magnus smiled slightly and nodded, glad that at least somebody was being nice. He sighed lightly, hunching his shoulders and hanging his head, wishing he could just pass out right then. He looked up through his hair when Adaline started speaking, but he didn't move his head. He perkec up slightly at the thought of stopping for the night, but then he looked around, and sighed again. They were going to have to sleep on the ground, since he didn't have any maigc left. He glanced over at Cayden fell back, definitely not opposed to stopping. He wasn't either, but it was the ground he was thinking about. He bit his lip lightly before sighing again. "Yeah. It's fine with me" he said, looking down at the ground. He was going to take his shirt off to sleep, but his pants would have to stay on. He wasn't that open with his body. If he was going to be living like this for a while, he was going to have to get used to the ground. Not that he was going to be spending most nights sleeping on the forest floor.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Adaline, as well as Risa and Shay were a little shocked as Magnus said it was okay but they didn't comment on it, it was still light out but the sun was already starting to sink, though it wouldn't be dark for at least another hour. Cayden didn't seem to care as he fell asleep quickly as he hit the ground. Adaline turned to Shay, "You'll stay up first right?" She asked and Shay nodded used to staying up for the first half of the night, then his sister would take over. The two of them being physically the strongest were put to the job right away and neither of them complained, they liked being able to help. Adaline sighed as she lay herself down beside the fire she couldn't help but wish for a bed like they had stayed in the night before, but it was all up to Magnus, if he didn't feel up to it then they were on the ground like usual.

[RippedNose]

Magnus looked up at the sky, frowning. He never went to sleep this early, he never got up that early, and he never slept on the ground. This was going to be interesting. He had a feeling he was going to be all kinds of sore in the morning. He didn't care if these people thought he was spoiled, because he knew he was, even more so than most humans. He frowned down at the ground now, letting out a sigh before unbottoning his shirt and taking it off, folding it and putting it down on the grass. He stretched lightly before laying down, using his shirt as a pillow, sure he would regret this in the morning, but he was too tired to care. "Goodnight" he said to anyone who would listen, lying on his stomach with his head to the side, cringing slightly before closing his eyes. It wasn't long before he was asleep, which was what he needed.
