Derrik sighed watching count on her fingers. He had always found it easier to just remember the season he was born in and when the season was over he added a year to his age."You may think im old, but truly I'm very young compared to other elves. My father is 1000 years old."[/color]Derrik said facing Darcie who was sort of yelling at Caui.

Caui looked at Darcie. "Oh, right. Sorry, I forgot about you." She smiled and added "I'm Caui." She jumped down from the tree, and looked at the girl. She observed her for a few moments, then just stood there not taking her eyes of her. Shapeshifters have always made me feel normal. She thought. She poked the girl. "So is this what you really look like?"

Darcie looked Caui in the eyes, what was she trying to do? Was she being delibratley unfriendly? "No, it's not what I really look like, but I never show anyone that," She said coldly. That was true, she never showed anyone her true form because she'd forgotten what it was. All she remembered about it was that it looked ordinary, that was one of the reasons she'd stopped using it, and eventually forgotten about it. Darcie fought the urge to poke Caui back, she didn't want to fight with her.

Derrik sighed as he pushed his hair away from his face. He decided it was time to get it cut. Shorter, so this way people didn't confuse him for a girl.
"Okay, I just wanted to know since we are near a town, is there a place where I could get my hair cut or something? I really do look like a girl since I just looked at myself." [/color] He asked puzzled as if he had no idea of the area.[/center] ((Sorry short post I'm, brain dead once again.)) |

Caui looked at Derrik and nodded. "Yeah, there's one nearby, but I can't go there at the moment-I recently offended the people there. Actually, they'll be on the lookout for me for awhile now, though the only people I'm sure who saw me are dead." She raised her left hand to her face and observed the shiny ring that was there.

Darcie frowned, "What happened?" She asked Caui curiously, she had a feeling it would be a funny story. She had never been to a hairdressers, she could have her hair any style she wanted, but she knew what one was.
[really rubbish post sorry ^.^]

Derrik sighed not wanting to walk to the town. He pulled out a pocket knife from his pocket and cut off the back of his hair. Making it go up to his next. He then to the knife to bangs and shortened them. Then his sides.
"Is this better? Or no?When I get to a town in the next few days I will get it fixed."[/color]
He said putting the knife back.

Caui had paused, about to answer Darcie. Derrik cut half of his long hair off-well, it seemed like it-and asked if it looked okay. Caui shook her head. "No...well, really it depends. If you wanted to impress someone, I wouldn't go with that look." Caui turned to Darcie. "All that happened was myself retrieving a ring...my ring...and killing that shopkeeper in the process." She smirked, and unsheathed her dagger, which wasn't easily noticable. "I've been really tired lately...and there hasn't been any reason to kill anyone..."
Wish I could, though. She thought, examining the blood stains on her dagger. "Actually, there are two people who knew what I did, and aren't dead...But that doesn't matter. The townspeople figured it was me, mostly, I guess, because this is my ring." She sheathed her dagger again and held her hand up to show the the simple, shiny silver ring.

Darcie was speachless, she'd been in a few tight spots herself, but she'd always done her best not to kill anyone, it seemed that Caui enjoyed it. 'I've been really tired lately...and there been any reason to kill anyone...' suddenly she seemed like someone you didn't want to cross. Forcing herself to act as if this was normal she turned to Derrik and said, "Let's see... you look like... this," her hair and face changed to mirror his so he could see what he looked like.

Derrik looked at himself and scratched his head.
"It will do for now."[/color]
He said listening to Caui who had just said she had killed somebody before.
"You know Caui, you didn't have to make a big scene about it. You could've gone a more silent route like killing him in his sleep then taking your ring."[/color]
He said remembering how Razor had taught him how to kill.

"No..That doesn't work for me. I don't really care about that village anyway." She said in her defence. She turned to Darcie, sensing how uncomfortable she was feeling. "Darcie," She said, actually using her name. "I don't kill anyone who doesn't deserve it." I used to...Not anymore.[/b] "He deserved it." Killing is fun...But I would never kill just for fun.

Darcie nodded, she felt a bit better knowing that Caui didn't just kill for fun, but still she was suprised that she and Derrik had killed before. She had never taken a persons life before, though if she had to, she supposed it would be relativley simple. She glanced at her hand for a moment, turning her hands into razor sharp claws which she examined and then switched them back to normal digits. "That's good," she smiled at the were-cat, "it's just I've never killed anyone myself, I was... Suprised,"

Derrik moved towards a nearby tree and leaned against scratching his neck. Yes, he had killed someone before. He had killed people in self defence.
"It is easy to kill someone. But, it is hard to replace the life you had taken."[/color]
Derrik said looking at his hands as if they were stained with blood.

Caui looked over at Derrik. "New lives are being created every day. Death takes some, and Life creates others." She shook her head. "Their life may be important to some...but in the whole world, does it really matter?" She sat down against a tree, and looked at the ground. She felt...sad? Maybe. Not for those she had killed. For herself? Her mum? Her mum...
A young, black haired girl was sitting on the wooden floor of a small house. Around her were toys and furniture. An adult with identical hair was standing over her.
"Caui, have you seen Mummy's ring?"
The little girl laughed, and stood up. "Pretty ring." She said. "Look!" She held up her hand and showed the adult the shiny ring on her finger.
"Now now Caui, you know you must'nt take Mummy's ring."
The child's smile faltered, and she looked down at the wooden floor. "Yes. But ring is pretty." She muttered. She glanced up, then slipped the ring off and handed it to her mother.
Her mother clenched the ring tightly. "Thank you." She said quietly. She hugged her daughter tightly. The young girl was quite surprised-usually she got told off when she took Mummy's ring.
Her mother let go, and walked over to the door of the house.
"Mummy, where are you going?" The little girl looked up at her.
"Caui...Stay here. Please. I'll be back soon. I promise."
I promise. Promise. You didn't keep that promise, did you? Caui leaned back against the tree, and closed her eyes. How long is soon? I don't remember. I don't remember anything.

Darcie left, Caui alone, she looked as if she was upset, maybe it was something from her past? She thought of asking her about it, but decided not to, it looked painful whatever it was. "I just try not to kill anyone, I've never really had the chance to anyway..."
[sorry its short ^.^]
