Ha Neul continued her glare for a little while longer, before her eyes eventually softened, communicating that she had again went back in her own world of deep thought, in response to the question. "Why am I here?" She repeated back in a low mumble, while looking up at the sky. "I suppose for a multitude of reasons. For too many than you have time for."

Her gaze traveled back down to Hakon again, before continued with her answer. "However, one could say, i'm here for the stories of the man, whose seen far too many years, and drank far too much ale at the tavern."

She allowed the words to settle for a bit, before eventually returning her own question. "And why are you here? If you were looking to battle against the entire army of Adeluna, I regret to inform you, that you've taken a wrong turn. Everything here is already pretty much dead, and there's nothing left for you to swing your sword at, Mi' Lady." The final set of words, 'Mi' Lady' bled with obvious sarcasm, while Ha Neul additionally performed a jesting royal-like bow.

Hakon tilts her head, she usually had little care for cryptic games and half-assed riddles- but then again… Gods knew how many hours until midnight was upon them? Sighing gently, she slowly lifted the Hippogriff's head by hooking one arm beneath his sharp chin, the beast squalling briefly as it arched its large neck, still staring Ha Neul down with those sharp bird-eyes. Grasping her knees, the woman pushed herself up with a sigh, a lock of severe straight blonde hair falling loose of the bun. With a heavily armored hand, she tucked said lock behind her ear.

" The most dangerous thing in any world is not an army, but a single-" she raised one index finger wrapped in orichalum-steel,"- highly skilled individual. That is my reason for being here." She allowed her sharp eyes to flicker over the woman, pausing thoughtfully. No- her skills for reading individuals were not as keenly honed as some- her daughter could tell her an entire's individual's lifestyle and trade just by peering at their fingernails but she… Simply read what her gut allowed her to read.

" So you are here to lay to rest the unsettled dead, then- how do you believe a comedian such as yourself can do so?" she offers a wry smile, warm though it was.

Ha Neul observed Hakon's stature as she rose. Indeed, she seemed like one capable on the battlefield, for she was able to see the armor and Hakon's stature on full display now.

Her eyebrow gave a slight rise of curiosity upon hearing Hakon's answer. "A highly skilled individual, you say? 'How' skilled must he be, to excite the interest of a fully armored war woman and intimidatingly large winged…'thing' of some sort."

In response to Hakon's final statement, a noticeable smirk of amusement could be found once again upon Ha Neul's lips. "I suppose.." She began, turning her attention towards the nearby tombstones for a bit, and finally resting it upon the great mausoleum Hakon had previously set her focus upon, before their meeting. "I could tell them enough bad jokes to run them back to their graves on their own free will." She jested again. "Or perhaps I would lead them to you and this winged creature, in order to scare them off before they even bothered to carry out their intentions."

While raising both her arms above her in the air, in a nonchalant manner, for a stretch, she turned her attention back to the heavily armored woman. Her eyes communicated that she was in the midst of examining Hakon again. "You certainly seem like one capable with a weapon if necessary. However, steel and iron alone do not bring the dead to rest." With a pause, she switched her gaze to the winged creature, as if to be speaking to it directly, "Neither does devastating physical brutality alone."   

Letting her words settle, she began to walk to a nearby tombstone, and squatted down in order to read it's description better. "Have you ever fought the undead before?" She eventually continued. "If seems that when you overcome them in combat one night, they simply raise right back up the next night, as if nothing ever happened, like persistent cockroaches, creating an endless cycle of extermination." "The most efficient way to lay such creatures to rest, 'permanently', is not through physical means but magical means. However for that, one would require something of the Necromancer or powerful mage of the sort. Yet, you haven't the look of a Necromancer to me."

Letting her words settle once again, she began to maneuver her finger in the dirt next to the tombstone, drawing random circle motions in the ground. "Yet for those who are more efficient in the brutish side of combat, there still remain certain 'unconventional' methods to get the job done…."

Lifting her gaze from her artwork on the ground, and towards the direction of Hakon, she gave another slight smirk and finished with, "If you know them of course…"

" I would answer, yet I have the feeling you already have the answer, dear Jester Ha Neul," Hakon answers quietly, not quite feeling quite up to the task of revealing all that she was to this woman right now. Though- Ha Neul was quite right. She did not come here simply to ensure a pesky necromancer stayed dead, as it were. In fact, one could say her intentions were numerous to the point of being quite stressful. Yet what was a better stress reliever then sowing decomposed flesh in twain a thousand times over?

Not much.

Offering a wry smile she tilts her head to one side," Have you not encountered a hippogryph?"  quirking a slender eyebrow, she extended her hand to Ansgar, the massive beast snorting through its slitted nostrils for a moment before slowly rising to his feet. He towered nearly his companion's height at the shoulder, and the only the Gods could tell you the exact size of the monster's wingspan and yet… Though its forebody boasted the elegant form of an elegant eagle- its hindquarters boasted the powerful form of a roan warhorse. It was quite clear the beast was just as proud of itself as its owner was- at least from the way he arched his neck. Proud little thing.

Hakon then idly extended her hand to Ha Neul, palm upturned and nigh inviting," Come greet him, Ha Neul- Ansgar has only so much patience for conversation he cannot understand." she muses dryly.

"I could." Ha Nuel continued on, her amused smirk still in sight. She continued to stare at Hakon for a bit, before finally taking a hand, and motioning it across her throat in a 'cut-throat' gesture. "The head." She revealed. "The head is the most efficient way. For it is the seat of the soul. Cut off their arms, and they will simply continue to walk unbalanced, cut off their legs and they will crawl to you. Cut off their head however….and you will find that they stop moving fairly quickly." "The undead feel no pain, and they do not bleed to death, therefore wounds are useless. Most are already missing limbs and organs to begin with, fresh out of their graves." "However…" She said with a slight pause, revealing that there was more to permantly putting the undead to rest than just a simple beheading, "Certain persistent souls have the pesky habit of reconnecting these things in ressurection processes. Therefore buriel is also required, buriel and separation; 'far' separation." She looked at the sky again, as if reminiscing of now far long gone memories of the past. "Ancestors of the past used to cut off the head, and bury it far from the body. Yet it only took a few centuries before ambitious enough souls eventually searched and found the whearabouts of the buriel places in their pursuit of ressurection, making the past works seem futile. Therefore, the most efficient way, is to not only cut off and separate the head from the body, before buriel, but everything else as well." "Complete dismemberment" she summerized on with a sadistic looking smirk.A hand was reached out to her in open invitation, an invitation to greet an aggressive looking adquintance. She delayed accept the offer a moment, staring and examing the creature further. "Hippo..gryph?" She mumbled back, the word proving itself to be completely foreign on her lips, and her previous world accent distinguishing itself quite clearly with this pronunciation. What did that name even mean? If there had ever been a random combination of symbols, this word seemed like the prime example for her. She eventually stuck out her hand in return to accept the offer, still staring at the creature while doing so. Such a fierce looking creature could be tamed? How was it even possible? "Where did you find such an abnormality?" She eventually questioned.

" Now that is a story-" Hakon muses softly as she takes the woman's hand- shaking it firmly before grasping her by the wrist between her thumb and index finger. TH=he grip was not aggressive not trapping, merely gently urging the woman closer as Ansgar angled his massive head about to press his beak to this new palm. The feathers upon his neck briefly bristled before flattening calmly once more- sticking haphazardly this way and that beneath the heavy armor nonetheless. He shifted upon inhaling Ha Neul's send, lifting his beak a moment before clacking it several times at her- this at least seeming a sign of begrudging acceptance before he turned away slightly, striding off toward the tombstones to investigate them with those large, yellow eyes.

Hakon released Ha Naul's wrist, pausing a moment before murmuring," Holy light and fire seem to do the trick against the undead as well, both burn their flesh with equal proficiency- so one has to wonder in the case of the Holy Risen, who raised them and why in the name of all that is good?" she pauses before looking back to Ha Neul, seeming to note this sadistic expression before humming," Perhaps you could join me in this particular endeavor against the undead, hm?"

Ha Neul found herself rather disappointed by Hakon's answer. It may have been a story, however one Ha Neul had a curiosity of hearing. Reflecting upon herself, however, she'd realized that she'd done the same thing as well on multiple occasions. Perhaps it was karma of the sort. Ha Neul had been caught off guard by the grasp, however as there was no aggression to it, she found herself compliantly following along in agreement. At the touch of the beast, the feathers felt rather soft and comforting to her, completely contrary from the outside demeanor of the beast on first impression. At the clacking of the beak, her eyes somewhat widened with caution. She wanted to ensure the thing didn't go wild and suddenly bite her hand right off her arm or something, similar to how seemingly docile dogs do before suddenly turning aggressive on people without reason. She was used to fighting such beast, not petting and peacefully interacting with them. The whole thing was rather new for her. Perhaps there were a few worthwhile things to experience in this barbaric land after all.

As she watched the beast stride off, she gently smirked. It was a humorously odd behaving creature at times, to her. Some moments, it appeared to wait with unwavering loyalty, until a command from it's owner, while other times like these, it seemed to also have a kind of mind and freedom of it's own will. Folding her arms, and continuing to observe the beast as it strode off, in a casual tone she inquired, "Those wings, are they just for show, or do they actually fly?" She switched her attention, now taking a careful observation of the sky. "And do 'you' actually fly? In all that heavy clad plate armor? I'd be surprised if the creature didn't go crashing to the ground like a chicken with all that weight."

She took mental note of Hakon's additional remarks concerning further tactics for the fighting against the undead. So she 'also' seemed to know a thing or two about fighting against the unliving. Ha Neul was also rather surprised by the simplicity of Hakon's answer. Assuming Hakon would make no such remark, unless she actually had an ability to do such things herself, she teased " So you 'are' able to do more than just swing a sword, eh? That will be interesting to watch." Her mind however, was now settled on the phrase concerning, 'Holy Risen'. She had heard rumors of evil and ill-intended entities coming back to life, but not of holy or good things coming to life, as well. It was quite new information for her, and an odd enough phenomenon to even make even Ha Neul ponder the reason for. "I haven't heard anything concerning 'Holy Risen'.." She finally admitted, "However, I suppose I will tonight, won't I?" At her final statement, she turned her attention down from the sky, back to her new armored companion. Her head was slightly tilted, as she turned to look at Hakon, which revealed something quite unusual and greatly unexpected. Her facial expression revealed an actually sincere hearted smile, wide enough that it caused her eyes to squint in the midst of this smile. It lasted for a few seconds, before Ha Neul eventually returned back to her usual less expressive demenor. It was as if, Ha Neul had leaked her heart out for moment, revealing a glowing beauty inside for few seconds, before shortly after sealing it back shut. Her statement and reaction alone made clear Ha Neul's decision concerning whether or not she'd join her new companion in her endeavor, even though she had not direct answered it.

" Ah- we fly-" she murmurs, gazing at the proud beast affectionately as he took it upon himself to perch atop a large stone coffin- clearly enjoying being the tallest thing in the graveyard… But for the mausoleum. It was only a matter of time until he decided to scale the stony home of the Necromancer to assert his dominance once more, Hakon knew this- and it only made her affection for the beast grow,"- Flying cavalry was lacking in this world- so I have begun to introduce it slowly. Our community is small yet-" she chuckles gently, closing her eyes,"- I believe it is the first time adventurers in this world have an organization of good to fall back upon." Opening her sharp eyes again, Hakon turned to gaze at Ha Neul.

She caught the flash, the briefest glimpse of another side of her companion- in turn, she offered a small, warm half-smile," Perhaps, though I doubt this entity is one of them. We shall see- but again…" She winks," Only if you decide to stay." Resting her hands upon her heavily armored hips, Hakon relaxed considerable, closing her eyes against a tell-tale gale of wind and heavy thud as Ansgar stood atop the mausoleum, looking quite pleased with himself being the tallest thing in the graveyard. With a small smirk, the blonde woman slowly clapped for the beast," Bravo, dear one,, bravo." mocking the creature despite the fact he seemed to still be puffing his feathers quite vainly.

After a moment, Hakon focused back upon Ha Neul, arching a slender eyebrow," I don't suppose you have any stories to regale me with, do you?"

Ha Neul found herself also entertained by the creatures antics. "Indeed it does fly.." She agreed with a low voice, observing as the beast made it's way to the top of the mausoleum, in it's assertion for dominance. 

"Flying…cavalry?" An eyebrow rose at the statement. This woman seemed quite skilled at introducing concepts that were completely foreign to Ha Neul. She'd never heard of such a concept, not even in her old world. She'd heard of and witnessed many cavalries in the past, mainly horsebound ones, but flying ones? Never. "So you're not the only heavily clad war woman flying on strange creatures in this world? I'm disappointed, here I thought you were unique." She jested.

Returning her gaze back to the sky, she became lost in another deep contemplation. 'Good' That word invoked memories and wounds of the past. She'd heard the word repeated numerous times before, mainly from the lips of the young and naive, newly recruited bright eyed warriors who were looking to make a difference in her old world. She remembered buying into such ideals, being naive herself at the time. It put her in the perfect position to witness first hand, the suddenly gruesome ends such aspirations eventually suffered. There would be a short mourning period, before a few years later, some other similarly naive soul would take it upon themselves to refill such ambitions within people once again, only to suffer the same fate as their predecessors. Such experiences had robbed Ha Neul of any more hope in such ideals. Far too much corruption existed. "There is no good in this world…" She eventually repeated back, her tone communicating great seriousness, and also the hint of depression from her past. "Only temporary charity.."

Switching her attention back to the question at hand, "Stories of many I have. Yet of regale, I cannot be sure." She finished with a playful smirk.

Hakon arches a slender eyebrow, tilting her head toward Ha Neul- she had, many times before, observed grizzled veterans reject the ideal of good. So now was as good a time as ever to try and convince another," Each individual has a moral compass- but a functional society often has base rules such as: do not take what is not yours, do not kill in cold blood, so on and so forth. Laws to be enforced for the good of all that sacrifices some freedom-" she answers quietly,"- though Laws are not always the most just- nor fair… They create civilization, which is more then other species of lesser intelligence can hope for… So I suppose- civilization is that 'Good' we wish to protect," Her eyes flicker to the woman, tilting her head to one side.

" My apologies for disappointing you so," She muses dryly, chuckling as she paused," Any story- whatever you may prefer, of course."
