Re: Reaching Salvation: Post-Acer Part 5

"Eh, she still looks prettier than me," Zackary joked. "Nah, I've been traveling with Sage. You know, that Latian 'Oh the gods wrath hast come upon us!', that girl?"

[Big Uri]

"Nope, haven't a clue," Tom replied blithely. "You staying in the village now? Or are you just passing through?"

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Staying for now, not really sure in a few weeks or so," Zackary said before yawning and stretching. "Depends on how out of control my winds get."

[MrMissMrs Random]

"Righto, after all you were our 'teammate'." Erika gave the man a smile.

[Big Uri]

"I suppose that's fair enough, I had the same problem with earthquakes," Tom replied. "Lot of the old guard have come to stay here, eh? The people Erika listed, Neo, Nathan and his group, Luke, the list goes on."

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Yeah," Zackary nodded. "I suppose, people who been through hell together, end up together again."

Neo huffed. "Meh. I really couldn't care, jsut hate being ignored nowadays. I think I'mma go hunt for some breaky."

[Big Uri]

"Yeah, sure seems like it. I would've liked to stay here from the beginning, I think, but I wasn't myself," Tom explained.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Eh, I don't like quiet lives anymore," Zackary said with a shrug of his own shoulders, clanking his sword and shield together. "I'm amazed I've stayed here as long as I have..."

"So, how's that situation with Heidi going?" Zackary then asked, elbowing him in the chest/stomach region.

[Big Uri]

"Whaddya mean?" Tom replied, unreadable as ever.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Oh come on, I was putting bets on you asking her out," Zackary said putting a grin on his face. "Or...marriage...depending on things, I suppose."

[Big Uri]

"This coming from a man who spent his last five years travelling with a girl?" Tom replied, grinning. "When's the wedding?"

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"One, she's not my type, two, I think she's got someone else on the mind, three. Really, you expect me to settle down with someone?" Zackary asked, chuckling.

[Big Uri]

"I dunno, I think marriage might make an honest man out of you," Tom replied jokingly.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Well, I'm like the wind, my dear Tomas. I can't settle down in one place," Zackary said wisely, before giving the bigger man a playful punch. "Eh, maybe one day, when if I get pissed off enough, I won't be able to blow over a whole village."

[Big Uri]

"Tch, not if I'd built the village," Tom answered easily, still grinning despite the punches.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Oh? Would that be a challenge my ears doth hear?" Zackary asked, grinning. "My flow is in full bloom now~"

[Big Uri]

"And I don't have any more distractions," Tom countered, tapping his head to signify Shima's absence.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"So my ears don't deciveth me," Zackary responded in old english, in a English accent to make fun of Nathan's.

[Stabberz]

Nathan grinned again. "Victoria, are you okay?" He asked the girl.

[Big Uri]

"Was there ever any doubt?" Tom asked.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Ahuh!" Victoria nodded and grinned up at him. "For...the most part..."

(~)

"Eh, I tend to hear things wrong in my old age," he would ahve done a mock impersination of a old man....but Tom was blind.

[Stabberz]

Noticing Zackary, Nathan smirked.

"Pretty unpredictable power levels you've got there..." Nathan noted dully. It had been awhile since they'd last seen each other.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Yeah, so?" Zackary sighed and turned to face Nathan. "You wanna make something of it?"

And of course...the wind started to blow a little harder.

[Big Uri]

"Oh for Christ's sake," Tom muttered. "Let's not have a full adult-level fight in the middle of two villages. Go back to talking to Victoria, poor girl just got ignored."

[quackers are yummylicious]

Kira hesitantly stepped out from the forest, quickly striding towards Nathan. She clutched her jacket tightly, trying to avoid most of the people.

Seeing and hearing Neo, Heidi's face broke out in a grin. "Neo, you dumbass, where've you been?" she asked. Neo and Simon were probably the closest to family she had, besides Benji for obvious reasons.

---

Benji shifted nervously as he watched Heidi wander off.

Elena frowned at this. "Simon, I think you're braver than this guy and you're a wimp. No way he's related to Heidi."
