**An annoyed expression crosses Lambic's face, after it returns to its normal gruffness, he says something quietly to Dallid**

*Replies at normal volume*

I tend toward implicit trust, and do not know if any here can readily differentiate between truth and lie.

*Then to Kidwyn*

“We have gone two days with little or no sleep with a powerful will set against us. Even with the considerable combined wilderness knowledge and experience of our party, we have lost our way – been turned about by an insidious mind. To continue now would…”

*Dallid considers Kidwyn carefully*

“I am familiar with a tendency for impatience within you. However… Drake, do you not sense anything from her?”

*DarKarath listens to Dallid very carefully, and nods with his points. Shifting around uncomfortably, DarKarath tenses up when he hears Dallid ask Drake of sensing anything from Kidwynn*

"Say what now?"

*takes a step back, being his first instinct, then relaxes a bit

"What in the hell is going on here?"

*DarKarath is very frustrated and annoyed

What Dallid is asking DarKarath, is if Kidwynn was the one who killed the deer and took on the piece of the Perfect Being that represents Action. I would like to ask her why she didn't report this when she returned.

*Still confused but nods

"Gotcha, Well until we get this mess sorted out ill be over here"

*Points towards the woodline and walks over to prop himself up against a tree

"One more question though, I was told that every piece has an opposite, im wondering, is action the good and inaction the bad or vice versa?"

"I will find out Dallid."

*Drake walks over to Kidwynn and places a hand upon her shoulder*

Kidwynn · Post by **Kidwynn** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 11:57 pm

*Kidwynn glares angrily at the whole lot of them but relaxes slightly when Drake touches her acknowleding their friendship.*

I didn't kill a dear. What in the bloody hell are you people doin'?! I told you exactly everything I saw or did. I come to help, to scout, and now you are thinkin' what that I've lost my mind? I'm not hidin' a blood thing...I wouldn't do that to Kels or Drake for that matter...

*Looks over at Lambic*

I wouldn't lie about any details of somethin' I scouted. I was taught better then that when I was tryin' to be a soldier.

I'm simply on edge due to things that happened to me recently and keepin' busy gets my mind off of it.

*In a sarcastic tone*

Nice to see you all think the very best of me.

*Atrum calmly and with a smile walks over to Kidwynn*

I think everyones just a little on edge, with little sleep and frustrations at every turn it begins to wittle away at the nerves. I know very very little about the forest or finding tracks and such but I know a little about death and dying and that deer was definitely dead longer than the few minutes you were away.

*Drake looks Kidwynn in the eyes*

"Its not that we thought bad of you Kidwynn as Atrum has stated. You just seem very eager to keep going, a sign of Action. And as far as I know the aspect might not have transfered to what killed the deer because it didn't find it a sutible host. But transfered into you when you approched it."

*Drake pauses a moment*

"But I am sure now that you do not hold an aspect, as I feel nothing."

“I believe all you have told us, Kidwynn. Certainly the deer had perished before we reached this area - having been dead long enough for Jaemis to learn its fate. However, your recent actions are in accordance with what might be expected of the Host of Action, the Aspect we currently pursue. Should its host have died recently, and had Kidwynn, who often scouts ahead of the group, been the closest or most acceptable being at that time, the Aspect might have taken her as host.”

“An admittedly unlikely occurrence, but one I believe worthy of investigation.”

"And the opposite of Action is Thought. I would expect its host prone to nothing but - possibly remaining immobile and unable to fend or care for itself."

*Glances at Drake and Dallid*
Leave no stone unturned, lest we would be forced to double back on ourselves. *Chuckles slighty* Again.

*Kidwynn looks at Drake and speaks softly*

Ever think it might be because of somethin' else that is goin' on that I was just recently reminded of. Helpin' you out is takin' my mind off of that and I would have told you if I felt weird.

*Looks over at Atrum, still appear angry about the finger pointing that was going on.*

Thanks for the words luv. I understand to a degree, but I guess some people should have thought better is all. No worries, I'll just chalk it up to a bad batch of rum for that will get one cranky quickly.

Lambic · Post by **Lambic** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 2:24 pm

Yes, Kidwynn I believe you might do this. I believe would offer yourself up if you thought that it would protect those that you loved. Self Sacrifise is a trait you have shown before.

I knew full well that you would be angered whether you had done it or not when I made that statement. I would not spoken it if I did not feel it was true however.

Kidwynn · Post by **Kidwynn** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 2:45 pm

*Looks at Lambic full of a slow anger*

Whatever Lambic. I also learn from my mistakes, but guess you just thinkin' I'm not bright enough ta do so.

For the record in that mind if yours, I would have informed Drake and not done anything 'stupid'. I more then learned from last time and am FULLY aware of what the mission is. Fulfilling the mission objective is all I care about at the moment.

I'm flat out sick and tired of bein'...*she bites her tonue and just stops talking. She wonders off from the group far enough where she can distance herself from them but stay within line of sight.*

“Cherish a companion who speaks his mind, for with him do you always know where you stand. Your step must instead be careful with he who hides his thoughts. “

“Let us seek rest here, now. Let us take time to regain our strength, wits, and composure - then face our trials with fresh mind and body, with cleared vision in the unveiling light of day.”
