Ana shook her head, though she kept her scythe out. "No I can manage." She murmured, following after him towards...wherever he had pointed. An hour? Please. I walked for hours. She was confident she would make it. Just not very quickly. "But to be clear, I don't have anything to pay you with. Anything." She stressed. If he thought she would pay him back with physical rewards then it was best if she get out now. Instead of when she was in his home. After all, he is a guy. And they rarely think of more than one thing. Kala didn't turn. She knew he was there. She wasn't afraid. It had been a long time since she had been afraid of any one thing. Was it rude not to reply? Probably. But she didn't know him, and he hadn't yet introduced himself. So she remained silent, tipping her head to the side to alert the man that she had heard him, and she was watching him. While she couldn't sense anything from him (which was strange, but not enough to put her nerves on high alert), it didn't pay to ever leave an unknown element at her back.
Ana muttered her thanks and took the offered water skin, swallowing a small mouthful. She was careful not to let any of the precious moisture fall to the ground. Neoph hm? "Ana." She replied,"Ana D-" she stopped, taking another swallow from the water flask before screwing the cap back on and holding it back towards Neoph. "Just Ana." She decided. It would be better to keep her complete identity a secret until she understood who she was dealing with. There was no telling if he knew of her village or her family (neither of which were really important in the grand scheme of things), but it was better to safe then sorry, all the same. The water rejuvenated her just enough that she felt able to stand. Still using the pole of her scythe as a crutch she pulled herself to her feet, testing out the strength of her legs before giving the area a glance over. Nope. Nowhere familiar. "So what's the plan now, Neoph?" The name felt strange rolling off her tongue, but she ignored it. Just because he's being friendly doesn't mean I'm going to trust him. Buuuut, it's a better option then being lost. For now. He said he was from Roland's Ford. Maybe there's a place for me to stay there for a bit. She grimaced as she ran her fingers through her tangled hair and across her dirty skin. I need a bit of upkeep. Not to mention a bath might make her feel more human then she had in...years. But first, a plan. "Because I'll be honest, if any more Heartless show up, I'm not going to be much help." He looked more concerned then she would have thought, but perhaps the Heartless were a bigger problem here then she had originally seen. There wasn't anything else out there.....was there? Kala had decided to do what she was famous for doing; nothing. At least while the fancy struck her. The forest, while certainly tempting, felt a little too crowded. And it was just a tad too early to have anything to drink. So she waited, inspecting potential targets for information, glancing at wares from vendors, and just enjoying the shade in general. Because who didn't enjoy a little shade during the day? She certainly didn't mind the camouflage it offered her, or the respite from the stares. Because as inconsequential as people were to her, the stares...were a little annoying. By her calculation, she had an hour and a half before she could start drinking. If she didn't find something to amuse her by then. But by all that was holy she hoped she did because she somehow didn't think that taking burning down a village out of sheer boredom would endear her with the locals. And while Kala didn't particularly care what they thought, that just seemed too troublesome. Although....she smiled underneath her cowl, eyes narrowing. There was supposed to be a league or something or people here. Strong people. Maybe, if she did something, caused some sort of small isolated disaster, maybe someone would come to stop it. And maybe, she could get in a good fight. It had been way too long since she had found a challenge.
Because someone (cough cough @Amaury cough) nominated you.
Just makes me miss MSN. And it won't let me put up a damn profile picture.
Convenience is number one. I keep my ps3 and ps4 hooked up to each other like bunk bed buddies and it's fantastic. I really liked the number of optional missions and enemies, although many of them were pretty frustrating at times. I also liked the new directional movement, because it assisted in the former reason and kicking as*s.
I don't honestly understand why I'm so excited for this game; I can only guess because it represents a large part of my childhood. But seriously, I'm more excited to wrap a line around a giant four legged machine's legs then I am to go to Mexico. And that's saying something. I really hope this game delivers, because a disappointment would just be the cherry on top of the pie for these guys.
Until I can list your favorite food, color, and season off the top of my head, we aren't siblings. Thus is the rule of siblinghood.
I've been through a similar issue with my father, which is still ongoing. I honestly think the only thing you can really do is to be honest with him. He might be trying to avoid the fact that you're leaving for school by burying himself in this relationship. He could also be doing it as a way of moving on from your mother, which isn't entirely healthy, but there it is. I would be honest with him. Get his attention in person, sit him down, and tell him that you don't feel comfortable with this. That you don't care if he dates, but that you're leaving soon, and you want to spend as much time with him as you can before you leave the nest. When he brings up what your opinion is is of this woman, be honest and say that you can't form one, since you don't know her. If you want to meet her, pursue it. You don't necessarily have to wait for his permission to do so, either. I think it's perfectly acceptable to creep on her facebook, twitter, whatever, or even to message her and start talking. I guarantee she'll tell your dad, but more then likely he won't be too upset about it. He just wants to know that you're okay with what he's doing and you don't resent him from moving on, because it could be that he might resent himself a little for not being able to stay alone the rest of his life. It's always a very hard thing to go through when your spouse dies. There's a period of guilt after you start dating again, because you don't feel as though you should need companionship or love from anyone but your former spouse. Not to mention if your family is particularly religious, there's the thought of them watching and waiting for you in the afterlife. It's a hard hurdle for anyone to overcome and handle in an effective way. By saying this am I in no way trying to disrespect your own mourning of your mother. Losing a parent is an awful thing that no one should have to experience, and I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. If you ever need an ear or a virtual shoulder, I'll be on here and I guess I'm getting a skype tonight so....>.> But I would just be honest with your dad, and communicate how you feel. Just the fact that he asks your opinion means he cares, which is great. I hope this all helps, and good luck with your move! Make sure to label each and every box with everything inside it, it'll save you hell later.
I bet you used Siri. Siri hates all other females.
Every time this happens, I have a mini heart attack thinking I've been accidently banned. I noticed one post was missing from a conversation I was having, but it's not important. Glad that everything is back where it belongs.
OOC: While Ana is with Neoph..... Kala stopped in the middle of the street silently observing those around her. The ones that didn't immediately shy away from her presence anyway. Her hair itched underneath her hood, and with a sigh, she flipped it back. Her black hair gently teased around her face with the accompaniment of a breeze and she sighed again, this time in relief. The movement, however, only drove the villagers further away from her. With her pale skin, dark eyes, and scarred right cheek, she supposed she really stood out in a crowd. Her messy black hair and cowl didn't detract from her mysterious persona either. Shouldn't have worn black. She thought to herself, eyes canvassing the street for a place of respite. Roland's Ford was charming, of that there was no doubt, but it was also rustic, promising very little in the way of luxury. She tapped the hilt of her broadsword at her side, deliberating. It was much too early to start drinking, but she was bored, and what the hell else was she supposed to do? Shifting, her hand still on her weapon, Kala turned and looked the other way down the street, towards the forest. Perhaps more exploration was due before she turned in for the night.
Thanks? I guess? But everyone knows it's really @Amaury >.>
That's absolutely adorable. *glomp*
God I hope so, or mummy is going to be very angry with me.
Well I don't. But I love your sharing of knowledge. Thank you!
Have I told you lately, that I love you?
I did. Still waiting on that reply.
Just let it happen.
That's honestly kind of frightening.
Your dedication is amazing, seriously. I can't find the article anywhere, so it could have been a prank, but I thought there was mention that Square Enix would have a presence here somehow. I would consider going if they'd have a demo of something decent, but I'm not going to go just for Nathan Drake.
