(*flies for paper and pencils*)

Adlaide sighed adding a few more details to the sketch in the dirt. "They died in the war." It took her several tries to get the words out, and even when she did get them out it was not without trembling lips and teary eyes. She paused, folding her hands and letting them come to rest like little birds in her lap.
Addy looked up then, wondering if the girl knew that her parents were too dead.




(Speaking of vampire girl... name?)

Deep in her heart she was aware of it, but she couldn't understand what it was she was aware of. "I'm sorry..." she murmured softly then, and just pulled the woman into a gentle hug. She knew it had to hurt. It... It had to. It was like not knowing her own name. But as she sat there, gently rocking and comforting Adlaide as she would have done for her sister in her trials, a name slowly came to her. Alyndra... That was her name...

(Name! Ooh, I like it. Alyndra. =D The clams almost done. It's a little sketchy... but it's looking great!)

Adlaide felt like crying, but no tears really fell. Her eyes just stayed very moist. Her vision grew a little blurry and her eyes half closed but other than that no real tears. The poor vampire girl, Adlaide couldn't understand what she'd been through, all she knew is that she had deep hurt and the girl was probably hurting inside too. That was without knowing her parents were dead too.

(Sketchiness gives it life! And thanks. I came across that and was like 'Alundra!!' Totally reminds me of that old game. Classic.)

She just murmured softly to her, and even began to sing a little. THe language was obviously that of her father's, elvish in nature and sounding rather sweet. Alyndra recognized it easily, but didn't recall who had taught her this tune. Had it been her own father? Her mother? She couldn't recall, not yet...but if Ngea did wake, she'd easily recognize it as well.

(I feel like this clam is cool enough to have cool colored shades. What's your favorite color?)

Ngea's ears pricked in her sleep, the sound of her father's favorite tune playing gently in her dreams. She lifted her head, golden eyes peering around carefully. They at last came to rest on her dear sister Alyndra and Adlaide. She stood slowly and padded over, her eyes briefly flickered over the sketch. Family, somehow she knew exactly who it was in the little drawing.
Her heart twisted and she pressed her head against Alyndra's shoulder. A very gentle, very kind motion carrying the melancholy feeling in the air.


Adlaide noticed Ngea come over and smiled slightly. Well didn't they all look like fine messes. Girl power all the way? A tear finally did escape, along with a lilting sound something like a sob.

So it seemed. It was the sob that had caught James' attention, he turning then towards the small band of women. It broke his heart to see his sister in such a state... She deserved far better than what was truly going on. It made him want to do something about it all, but what could he? The past couldn't very well be changed.... He just watched the trio, glanced towards Mordecai and Klaus. They seemed to be mindful of the women as well, just letting them have their space.

Ngea stayed there for what felt like a long while then withdrew her eyes flickering around the area. He hated to break the little group up, she'd been enjoying the silent sharing, but it was about time they actually do some sort of something. She shook away her wolf form and rested her hand gently on her sister's shoulder. "We've got so much to do..." Her voice was low, and when she spoke there was a strange tinge in her voice. It was almost like sadness, or something of that sort.

Adlaide sniffed and wiped her tears away, swallowing hard. She nodded some and attempted a smile. That small time just sitting there with the other two had really been a boost. Sure they'd all been wishing they could be sobbing their eyes out, but it'd been nice for lack of better words.

It had indeed been nice, a kindness, even. Alyndra jumped a little at her sister's touch, but managed a weak smile. What was it they had to do? She hadn't the slightest idea. Her gaze then turned towards the others of the camp. Klaus was passed out, fast asleep, really. He seemed to need it. Mordecai was busy keeping a lookout, and it seemed that James had fashioned a blade from bone and branch. He was pretty smart, it seemed. From there, he was busy trying to carve a bow.

Ngea wanted to get started building a bit of shelter. Not only would it provide better shelter against the elements it also gave them a position to fall back to if under attack. However, first she'd need to fashion something like an ax, there were several things around here which could easily be turned into a blade but the handle would be a little harder to find. Weapons were to be made, and they needed to work with the siblings and their other forms.
Right then and there, she knew she should probably find a balm for her shoulder. It was really starting to be a bother despite the patch job James had done on it. "I could use a little help going out and fetching some silverwood leaves. Maybe a few other herbs as well. We should also get started working with the siblings in their other forms. They need to get used to the shift and everything that goes with it. As much as I enjoy hunting, it'd be nice to have some wolf help in the future." She tentatively reached up and touched the area around the wound, and winced slightly.

Adlaide got to her feet, her eyes traveling around. In her eyes the place looked decent enough. But she agreed with Ngea, it'd probably be a good idea to start getting used to the wolfish form. Though, Adlaide wasn't exactly looking forwards to wobbling around like a toddler again. She was interested in learning all she could about this place, and if that meant learning to be a werewolf so be it.

It would be interesting, yes.... "WHy not take Klaus with you?" Mordecai then suggested. He could tell that James was busy, and to have a newborn vampire go out was suicide at this point. She couldn't leave anyway due to the sunlight. "I'll keep watch here, make sure nothing gets to close to us." And he'd make sure that if that hunting party came back, he'd give them what for... The male had warned them of treating the pup in such a manner... It wasn't their ways.

Ngea pointed at the sleeping omega with the tip of her boot. "He's exhausted. He needs some rest." She glanced around. James did indeed look busy, making more weapons? Whatever he was doing it was extremely helpful. However, he still needed to eat something more. She didn't care if his stomach was sick, it wouldn't do him any good to be hungry.

No, it wouldn't. "I-I'll go..." her sister then offered. "I can... I can avoid the light." She'd do so instinctively anyway. It'd give her a nasty burn if she was in it, but for the time being? The shade would keep her safe. The trees here were thick, and she'd do well in it. Silent, and like a shadow. No one would see her come or go, either. That in and of itself was a good thing, really.

To say the least, Mordecai was impressed she even volunteered. She was still so shy, skittish. For her to do something like this was a big step, and int he right direction, really.

(No worries. XD I think we just need to find a good spot to have more action here soon. Training will definitely do that.)

Ngea's eyes flashed over to her sister, a hint of worry behind the lovely golden orbs. "Are you sure?" While she didn't want her sister hurt, she also didn't want to hold her back. Keeping her the only family she had left safe was one of Ngea's top priorities.
She shifted her feet, then realized that she should probably let her come along. Not only would she be able to feel helpful, it'd give them time to catch up some. Or... something like that. Ngea wasn't really very good at those types of things.

Adlaide would've stepped forwards to volunteer but a new idea had sparked in her head and she was busily bustling about with a gleam in her eye. Collecting bits of this and that, taking a stone from there, occasionally writing some notes in the soft dirt. Obviously she wouldn't be any help to anyone in that minute.

Alyndra nodded at this. "I'll be careful. I promise." What clothes she did have would at least protect her skin. Exposed skin would not be so well off... That, at least, meant she wouldn't get seriously hurt if she did slip up. "Please...?" Those soft eyes just pleaded with her sister. She desired nothing more than to be of service, even though the current mindset was that of a slave. She'd eventually grow from it, and be more of herself as time passed on.

After all, she had finally recalled her name only after a few hours of being around these kind folk. What more would she be able to do if this continued?

Ngea took a breath then nodded. "You can come along. Just do your best to stay out of the sun." She warned moving slowly towards the grove of silverwoods. To say the least she was worried about Alyndra. She glanced over her shoulder. "We should be back soon enough, I spotted plenty of herbs nearby."

(Short post is short... due to the fact I cannot find my pencils.)
