A Ripple in the Pond~ Dark Times

She didn't see a reason to lie about their names, no way has anyone ever heard of them. Or least, not of her for sure. Also, her real name would come more naturally and there was no lie to sense. "Helena." She stated smiply yet kindly.

ooc - while they were away the caste was attacked...or something along those lines. Will miss you Maka. Hope things improve.

 

Rath just watched on as his two allies began to speak to the two men ahead of him so...this is bend the truth? Rath thought to himself as he placed his palm over his face and sighed once the two of them are done flirting they will be leaving with them on horses. Now how will I catch up? Rath thought to himself. The only option to him was to trust them and leave them to follow the prince and mentor while he took his own route and get to Blone

 

ooc - well, to be honest, Helena doesn't care about anyone :lolface: well, expect for her mentor, but besides the point


"You do seem more so than he, but this is just a guess." Acting like a helpless woman and being one were two different things, and she could only act so well. She walked past the elder man and got on the horse herself. It was her way of silently saying he was useless in helping her, though he probably didn't take exactly as such. "I didn't catch your name, did I?"

 

Zero frowned at Risit and thought, Hmph, for a healer he sure is cocky. Twice the gentleman I am. That's absurd. As a prince I was born and raised a pure gentelman...what would he know anyway, just cause he's older? Silencing his petty thoughts he turned to the other girl, "Madam, your name? I'd hate to simply call you Madam for the duration of the ride."

Willow was surprised at how Helena gave her real name. Willow, however was not so limited by lying. Lies came easily to her and felt natural. "Oh, it's Tessa." She could've picked a prettier name, but she felt it necessary not to play up a simple name so much.

 

Zero smiled at Tessa and led her to his horse. He carefully helped her on and climbed on, taking the reigns, "You can call me Zero. The Eldest of the royal family in Blone. Now hold on tight. I wouldn't want such a fine lady such as yourself to fall off and hurt yourself." He shook off the feeling she was lying about something. Such a pretty smile couldn't possibly be lying, could it?

Willow could've laughed out loud at how dense the Prince was. She giggled politely at his words and wrapped her arms around his waist, tucking her fan back into her long sleeves. "How lucky of us. To get to ride with such handsome men." Keeping her icy eyes on his sword, she figured it was the only weapon he had and glanced at Helena. Willow hadn't wanted to give out such an odd name in the first place. She would've advised her comrade against it, but if Helena didn't want to lie, she couldn't make her. Indeed...how lucky of us. I do hope our other comrade will make it safely to Blone. she spared a moment of concern for him before diverting her attentio back to the Prince.

 

"I'd rather not. But no worries, I shall be fine." She noticed Willow's glance over at her and returned it with a coy smile, one that she was certain that neither of the men saw. Nonetherless, it vanished quickly. "Let's get a move on before the dust settle on us, shall we?"
