Watching the men search the centaur's belongings, she was relieved that no jewels were discovered. Negotiations had been a success, and the storm had blown over. Liselotte was quite happy with herself, having managed to bring the men to reason. The poor mare was already badly injured as is, and didn't need any more added. She gave a polite curtsy when the centaur thanked her, but was still concerned about her wounds. Attempting to travel in this state would only make her a target for the unscrupulous savages and beasts in the wilderness.

Raising her voice she called out to the mare. "Excuse me, miss! You wouldn't happen to be thinking of travelling in that state, are you? If you don't mind, I would like to at least have your wounds cleaned and bandaged before you go." She had a few mixtures of herbs to make a poultice to disinfect the cuts and scrapes after washing the dirt and debris. Wounds always healed more quickly when they were properly treated. Should the centaur refuse, then she would relent. The alchemist quickened her pace to close the distance between her and the mare.

The mare told her not to even try to use the healing spell and left. The guards to had left which was odd but they had no proof and had other things to do. She watched the mare limp off and the blond fallow. She knew the mare would be safe with the girl and looked at the remaining one. She felt a connection but it was weird. She never met the girl before yet there was a familiar filling. one she had not had since the last time she met one of her own a 100 years ago and did not recognize the feeling as such. "New to the aria?" She asked. now feeling weird about the whole thing.

The men searched for themselves to determine that she was innocent.  They rudely kicked the bag and left; apparently they deemed her innocent enough to leave.  All the trouble they had caused (for goodness sake, they had injured their supposed 'thief' and caused her to bleed), and all they did was snort and leave!  The half human/half horse, Coiv now figured out she was called a centaur, climbed up the hill to the road.  She grabbed her bag saying thank you.  There was still some blood dripping from her leg, yet she still turned and started limping away from the city.  The sight was pitiful.  It wasn't her fault; she really hadn't stolen the jewels.

Before Coivaqile could do anything though, the blond haired girl seemed to have the same thoughts.  She walked after the centaur, asking if she would allow her to clean and bandage her wounds.  Coiv hoped she would.  It wouldn't seem right if she just left bleeding.  
Coiv was about to follow them when the other girl spoke to her.  "New to the aria?" She seemed to be looking at her oddly.  Coiv glanced back at the other girls before deciding she could talk to them later.  She did want to ask them some questions, nothing complicated, but maybe she would be able to later.

She turned back to the one asking her the question.  "Yes, I'm travelling around."  It was an odd question, she thought, and even odder that it was true.  Something was curious.  "I was heading for this city, but I don't think I will anymore.  I'm not heading anywhere in specific, just wandering."  She hoped she would say why she was asking.  There was a small itch of curiosity at the back of her head.  "Oh, I'm Coivaqile."

"Im Vinsue and it's nice to meet a fellow traveler who seems to have the same goal of just wanting to see the world. I'm sorry for the random question it's just you seem to remind me of a old friend of mine is all." she wandered if the girl also had the weird feeling but if she did she was good at hiding it. "As of going in that city i think i have also changed my mind. if a simple misunderstanding gets one fed to the worms, and fleeing gets one that badly hurt, i would hate to see what they would do to those…" she stopped as she realised that she almost revealed a lot of negative stuff about herself. "who are actually guilty." she had noticed they were in the middle of the path and stepped to the side so traffic could flow freely. 

Paradox stopped and cocked an ear behind her when she heard the blonde woman call out to her. She tilted her head and glanced back as the woman picked up her pace to keep up with her. She soon caught up with her and stood at her shoulder. She was a relatively tall woman, even so, she was still dwarfed in comparison to the centaur. She turned and looked at her, her ears forward as she listened to the woman talk to her. She responded to the young woman's question. "Centaurs are fairly resilient, miss. I should be okay for now."

She let the woman finish speaking and then glanced down at her again. She hesitated a while, turning to look at her bloodied haunch. Dipping her head slightly, she nodded slowly. "You may if you wish," she said quietly. She was used to tending to her own injuries, so it was odd for her to need assistance. She didn't really like asking for help. "I would like to find a place to stay for the night first." She continued walking forward, trying not to let her injury slow her down. "You companions may accompany us as well, it's not safe to be out in the place alone at night. The tribes here are not friendly to strangers."

Liselotte was pleased when the centaur did not refuse her offer. She should still have enough water in her canteen to rinse away the dirt from the mare's deeper cuts. "Wonderful! You won't mind if I come along with you then? I've traveled on my own before arriving here and from what I've heard it certainly is safer with company. Oh, the other two back there? They must've come over to help when they saw you being hounded by the guards. They and I are strangers." The alchemist did so, to clarify and remove any misconceptions that might have arisen. Accidental association was a common mistake committed by all people, and there was no harm in dispelling it.

Keeping up with the centaur's strides, she casually asked a few questions as she checked the powders in her bottles. "I have some dried herbs here which I can apply to your wounds as a poultice. If you don't mind me asking, are you allergic to any particular leaves or flowers? Occasionally certain medicines do not agree with some individuals, and I wouldn't want to aggravate your current condition should you have such sensitivity." A quick look over the mare's wounds showed cuts deep enough to draw blood but shallow enough to allow natural healing, with minimal damage below the surface. At the moment there was no inflammation, though if the foreign debris were not removed promptly that could easily change. Many non-human races were known to have hardier constitutions in comparison to humans, however the basics of infection and healing should still apply.

"Im Vinsue and it's nice to meet a fellow traveler who seems to have the same goal of just wanting to see the world. I'm sorry for the random question it's just you seem to remind me of a old friend of mine is all. As of going in that city I think I have also changed my mind. If a simple misunderstanding gets one fed to the worms, and fleeing gets one that badly hurt, I would hate to see what they would do to those…" She paused for a moment letting Coiv wonder what she was going to say. Who did what? Then Vinsue continued: "Who are actually guilty."
Coiv paused for a moment then shrugged. It seemed like an odd thing to say, but what did she know? She had no social skills. Besides, she agreed. Punishments shouldn't be harsher than the crime.  

And what if the people of this place had something against dragons? It wouldn't be good if they just didn't like dragons, someone found out, and she got punished- harshly. Coivaqile had nothing against her being a dragon, she was just cautious. She didn't want anyone else to have a problem with her being one.  A thought occurred to her.  She hopped she and Vinsue would become friends; maybe she should tell her.  Coiv started, "I…"  This time it was her turn to pause.  "Wonder if you're headed anywhere?  Could I come along if so? I don't really have a destination next."  Ah, what did it matter that Coiv was a dragon?

She was more than happy to have a person to accompany her. "Well as of tonight im going back to a cave i found and will look at the map. from there im not sure where i'll end up going but you are more than welcome to join me." she said and turned she was ready to get away from this town, not because she was sacred but because she would rather not half to fight and the longer she was hear the more likely that would happen.

"coming?" she said then set off. she stayed a little ways behind the other two as to not cause a problem. she thought on where she last had that filling and who and what gave it to her last. she did not give up but she could not figure it out so she decided to ask a few questions. "So Coivaqile where are you from?" she asked. Vinsue herself had no answer to that question but she knew most do. 

"Well as of tonight I'm going back to a cave I found and will look at the map. From there I'm not sure where I'll end up going, but you are more than welcome to join me." Vinsue turned and looked back at Coiv. "Coming?" Coivaqile nodded and followed her, heading away from the city.  They stayed a little behind the other two, and she guessed that they were having their own conversation and didn't want to intrude. 
After a moment, Vinsue asked her where she was from. "Oh, I'm from some mountains a distance from here. I decided to leave and travel around, that's how I got here. I actually haven't been anywhere else." She said as casually as she could muster.  "Where have you been?"
Afer a moment, Vinsue asked her where she was from. "Oh, I'm from some mountains a distance from here. I decided to leave and travel around, that's how I got here. I actually haven't been anywhere else." She said as casually as she could muster. She decided to ask some questions. Maybe she could learn some about society. "I was wondering, other than traveling, do you have a job? For example, how do you get food and such; do you hunt 

she thought the mountains where a nice place. course she also understood the will to move. she always moved to say ahead of those that wish her harm but that does not mean she would stay in one place if she had no danger after her. "I have been just about everywhere. even seen three temples and an Island of four seasons." She said "A job. no i do not have a job. I do hunt though and i have been hunted but i get my money from treasures that call me. so i guess you can call me a treasure hunter." she said then started off the path.
