Viserys sat down letting the bird calls echo through the clearings, he took off his boots with a groan letting the wind whisper through the grass. he had been on the road from the city for almost a week know tracking animals and collecting leather, of course, this was not his motive of being in the forest but earning a little gold on the way can't really hurt, starting the fire with sticks we're a difficult task and was swearing from the blisters in his hands from multiple attempts when the sparks of life shot through the dead wood watching the flickering flame grow larger.

Watching his bag the whole time of cooking or resting was just how he had grown up in a slave camp so items of personality were stolen a lot for a bit of gold and punishment, however he knew very little about his family since his family and brother being in the village at the time of the attack but he had finally found something that could change it all, give him more information on everything. he just had to find the thing he was searching for. he bit into the rabbit while reading a map heavily drawn on showing parts of the large sprawling forest marked off and other darker areas with crosses or lines dashed through, is mission was important but not as important as his life.

A sudden crack of a branch set his nerves off picking up his sword shouting into the bushes "Whoever is there, come out!" he paced backwards getting into a stance in case it was a hostile creature.

Leodrisa brushed her hair away from her face with a small huff. She continued to walk until she saw the small glow of a fire. She instinctively pulled her bow out and pulled an arrow out. Ready to fight back or investigate, she slowly walked towards it, careful to remain hidden from whoever was there. As she got closer and could see a bit more, she accidently stepped on the branch, making it crack. She silently scolded herself, but looked back towards the voice. She stopped in thought, wondering if she should really reveal herself. She rarely trusted anybody out here, and made a habit of rarely talking to those who saw her.

She swung up into a larger tree and quietly approached. She narrowed her eyes when she saw the man and tilted her head. She still had an arrow ready to fire at him, just in case he attacked or tried anything. "Who are you?" She called, keeping herself mostly hidden. From her position, people could just get the peak of her face, one of her arms and her bow. "Not many people willingly choose to travel so late."  She called. She was curious to know his answer, she could see that he seemed different from those who travelled by this road.

He kept the sword up pointing it at her slightly, tension was thick in the air, "I'm looking for someone whos important, and my name is Viserys" he paced to the side picking up his rucksack with care always keeping sight on the elf, the moonlight illuminating her eyes enough for Viserys to keep track of her movements, with a long sigh he sat down sheathing his sword while picking back up his rabbit and dusting the dirt off it before eating.

"Since I answered your questions can I ask my own?, Whats your name and why are you here?" he asked curiously where he came from Elves were rare and the only one he knew was easily over 100 years old and concentrated in the magic of healing, "And come out the bush your giving me a migraine when I have to stare into the dark for a pair of eyes" he smirked seemingly familiar why looking at the fire and placing another rabbit on to a stick.

She straightened up and lowered her bow, putting it away after he lowered the sword. She watched him hesitantly before she finally hopped down from her perch and walked forward out of the bush and more towards the fire. "My name's Leodrisa. And I'm here for shelter. I don't trust towns too much." She leaned back against a nearby tree and lightly crossed her arms, looking over at him.  "Apologies, I don't like being out in the open too much either." She unconsciously looked back towards the bushes.

She later looked back at him and looked towards his bag and what he overall carried with him. She lightly nodded and said, "From what I can see, you look like you have a long journey ahead of you. Carrying a lot of weapons and things, can't be easy." She smirked at him and said, "Very different from other men who come through here." She later lowered her bow and quiver of arrows to be more comfy. She put them nearby in case he tried anything after he finished eating,

He offered her the freshly cooked meat simply saying "I caught a ton for the pelts the meat doesn't sell for a lot" he laughed "They actually attacked me in the badlands when I first left my ruined village, my brother and I always had bad luck when it came to animals" he went back to eating and looked at the girl inspecting her from head to toe raising an eyebrow at her "You haven't been to the badlands in the past have you?"

Reaching over he opened the rucksack "The person that I was told to find was last seen in this forest she knew my brother, well at least that's what the Inn said before I ran off" he tapped his chin pulling out a torn mask "I need to know? If your that person".

She walked over and took the piece of meat from him. She ate quickly, listening to him talk. She lightly chuckled and finished eating before looking back to him again. She tilted her head when she notice him looking at her and thought for a while. "Maybe. I've travelled a lot before and seen a lot of people. But badlands is something new I've heard." She looked over as he opened the bag and tilted her head at the mask. "This person you're looking for, they're female?" She asked curiously.

She walked over a bit closer. She looked over the mask and said, "Can I see it a bit more? This reminds of something I've seen people sell before." She tilted her head as she looked back at him. "But I'm honestly afraid I'm not the person you're looking for. I'm just trying to get through things myself." She sighed and briefly looked towards the fire.

He pulled open a flask taking a swig of a strong smelling liquid offering it to her, "You said you didn't like the town life? I guess you would prefer living in a tree then" He chuckled smiling at her as he went back to cleaning his sword taking care with sharpening and oiling the blade, before going back to the map and marking the areas, "When we were young slavers attacked our village dragging me off into the desert, the bond between my Brother and Father was bad enough and might have gotten worse when I was taken" he laughed painfully.

He looked over at the elf seeing her in the fire light then standing up and walking towards the fire to put more wood in, "So how long you been out in the forest?" he asked sitting down next to her on the log "Most people don't last more than a couple of weeks due to the bandits or beasts." going back to sorting out his belongings and putting the mask back and folding up the map into the rucksack.

She took the flask and curiously took a drink. She coughed and lightly shook her head before handing the flask back to him. She lightly huffed and said, "Well, passing through a town isn't too much fun when everyone stares at you and mutters comments about elves. Its a long story, filled with stupid rumors and fights." She widened her eyes and frowned when she listened to his story, but didn't choose to comment anything about his past.  

She briefly looked over at him then glanced at the fire and said, "Quite some time. I'm just settling down for now from my last job. Let me just say, Orcs do not get happy when you sneak around to steal some artifact back." She lightly chuckled at the memory and shook her head. "What about you? How long have you been looking for this person of yours?" She asked, looking back at him.

He took another swig chuckling at the story of the Orcs "True the last one I saw, wasn't very happy I beat them in an arm wrestle, I may have cheated and used some of my mana" he looked into the fire poking it with his sword watching the oil catch light and sharpen the already sharpened blade "I started looking for him a couple of weeks after I won my freedom in the Arena, I heard from a pirate inn that a guy barged through the door selling a pelt and talking about being a highway man of sorts, Of course, I had to search the library to find what that meant but as I read it I knew it was him" he threw the last of the dead wood onto the fire before continuing "I left my younger brother all alone in the world after our parents died in that attack, I should have fought against the slavers"

he stood up starting to put up a tent using a large piece of cloth and a couple of branches from the trees, "I know you would probably sleep in a tree but the air smells damp, suggesting rain, I can offer you some shelter?" he said the smile returning to his face "Its been nice venting my thoughts after weeks of being in this place, so I believe I at least owe you this?"

She smiled and lightly chuckled as she listened to his story. "Well, that's one way to win." She smiled and said, "To be fair to myself, I had not other way to get the artifact back, and I had a time limit. If I didn't get the artifact back in time, I was going to lose the money that was promised to me."  She leaned back and said, "But after a herd of animals and a good storm, I went to get it back." She rubbed her back and lightly winced. "Still sore from that good old fight." She softly sighed when she listened more to his story and lightly bit her lip. "You are certainly interesting. But from what I can tell, there's not much you could have done. Fighting was the best, but after time, you get tired. And either one, you get killed as well or two, you're taken either way." She shook her head and ran a hand through her hair as she looked back into the fire.

She looked over as she watched him build a tent. "I'd like the shelter, but I really don't want to bother you." She  got up and walked over and said, "Really, do you think the tent can hold up two people?  If you insist, I can rest here tonight." She looked up at sky and said, "You've got a point about the rain, it feels like a storm is nearby."
