Nari-Lanreth

In a show of shards and colours, the beast had disappeared following Nari's final strike. She'd allowed herself to relax only once she'd been sure it was gone - and that nothing else was going to appear in it's place. Giving her shoulders a soft shift, she loosened the muscles that had begun to tense with the conflict. Letting the spear fall back into the groove of her elbow, her standard resting position with the weapon when it wasn't being immediately used or stored, she shifted her attention back to Wulfrin. "I wouldn't exactly call it a simple fight, so much as I came prepared. As to

Wulfrin had moved in for the kill, only to find his feet giving out beneath him. Nari's gaze shifted slightly in order to make sure the man was alright, before returning to the giant bear that had begun to move only a few breaths after Wulfrin's failed assault. Calmly, with an eased practice, she slipped in between the two, placing her own bulk between target and attacker, ensuring the safety of her party member - if only for the moment. Without looking at the man, she called out in answer to his spoken words - knowing he'd been talking to himself, and yet unable to remain quiet on the subject

Nari had the feeling that her words may have caused a decision for the blonde, and almost at once she felt like she may not have been in the right to suggest he follow through with his idea. Still, she knew that there would be no point trying to take it back now - what had been said, had been said, and whatever decision made would likely be near impossible to unmake. Instead, she gave a half shrug to herself and followed along behind Morningstar as he moved towards the NPC she had pointed out. As soon as they'd initiated contact, the NPC had drawn into a typical dialogue - verbiage and te

The bear creature had reacted to her taunt, it's eyes drawn to her form even as Wulfrin rushed forwards to engage it, the blade in the man's hands slashing across the beast's form in a simplistic dance of combat; one which spoke of a more aggressive, than defensive mannerism. Nari's eyes glanced over to the man only to ensure his safety as he rolled through and beyond, content to see that he had placed some distance between himself and the bear through his attack - not that it mattered. The slash of the claw was barely noticed as Nari's armour deflected the majority of the assault agains

He'd started down a typical path of responding with a tinge of sarcasm, a response that Nari expected and one that she knew she herself would've done in the same situation. She was, however, caught by surprise when he stopped and shifted into a serious tone. She listened, her eyes showing the shock where her facial expression remained stoic, as he explained the truth behind their similarities. An obvious factor now that they'd shared as much as they had, and yet somehow nice to hear spoken aloud in earnest and without restriction. "It's nice to hear you say it, aloud. Thanks, for the hone

Their journey had led them along small pathways that seemed to end far sooner than they should've. In fact, as Nari rounded what felt like only the second corner - figuratively speaking - of their trail, she found herself coming to a quick halt. Ahead of her Wulfrin, who she had let take the lead on their search, had pointed out what appeared to be a lair of some sort. One which, clearly enough for even Nari to hear without paying much attention, seemed to echo with the sounds of something within. "Certainly sounds like a bear...and if it made those tracks you pointed out, well, it'll be

Nari took the proffered snack, summoning a knife and cutting thin slices off the core in order to have an easier, more elegant time chewing the fruit itself. She followed alongside Morningstar as he began moving throughout the port, his eyes glancing about and explaining about the height limitations and interest in the floor itself. Nari's own gaze followed his to the tower, her head cocking slightly to the left as he posed the question about breaking in, and the morality behind such and action. "I would say it shows your human side, if nothing else. You said fur cape?" Her eyes passed ov

Jumping down from the small barrier that she'd been sitting on, Nari gave a soft nod in welcome to the newer player, listening as he listed off his accomplishments. She gave a another soft wave of her hand as his apology and explanation came to an end, as if brushing away the words as needless. Instead she focused on his question, bringing up a small menu and flipping it around to show the player the image that had been shared with her. A large, grizzly like creature was the fore of the image, and Nari smiled a bit as she explained what she'd been able to gather for information. "Seems th

They'd agreed to meet at the skydocks themselves, and although Nari hadn't wanted to show up too early, she'd still started her day far before she normally would've done. She found herself, however, waiting impatiently as Mio slept at her feet, the kitsune realising that they'd have some time to rest and relax seeing as the blonde haired man hadn't shown himself yet. Not for the first time, Nari found herself glancing at the clock and wondering where the man was, their meeting time slowly approaching closer and closer. She'd begun to fidget long ago, and found herself twisting on the spot ever

Like a true conflict of war between the four horsemen, the chaos of fighting erupted suddenly. The mounted riders moved to engage with the players as the four of them strode into the arena in earnest, and blades swung through the air in a deadly attempted to embrace their target. Nari could hear the general commotion of the others around her, but she refused to let it become a distraction. Her initial strike had sliced into the form of the horseman before her, rendering it immobile for a few seconds as the stun effect coursed through it. She knew better than to press the advantage however, one

A soft wisp of breath left Nari's lips before she moved forwards in earnest to engage with the mounted feature before her. The thing seemed to shift it's attention towards her the moment she had called out, as if locking onto the player and target in response to the challenge. A quick glance thrown towards the others confirmed that they had moved forwards to confront their own foe, and Nari found herself shifting slightly away, pulling the rider towards the edge of the conflict zone in order to give herself some space and movement area, without hampering or being hampered by the other combatan

She'd fallen silent listening to Freyd's commentary and explanation. Much of it seemed to resonate in her mind to similar ideals, if not exact replicas of her own understanding of her purpose and the path she had chosen. The quote, along with the name given regarding a series she had heard of, but took little interest in, caused her to respond for the first time since he had begun speaking. The words were soft, barely more than a whisper as she spoke them, and yet she found them coming naturally after so long; a mantra of her own that she had been raised with, as long as she could remember. A

Stretching her arms upwards and outwards, Nari couldn't help but notice the popping sounds that the muscles made in response to the sudden movement. It still amazed her, even after all this time, just how realistic the game was in some senses. Far more than she thought it should be, all things considered - but that made it as enjoyable as it did damning, in a way. Well, I guess it could be a lot worse. Imagine if we were stuck in some early game design that was all 2D animation and lack of movement... She knew, logically, it was impossible, but the thought gave her a giggle regardless. "

She'd received the ping earlier in the day, however time had been less than co-operative, and it wasn't until later in the afternoon that Nari had finally made her way into the shop itself. As always, the area was clean, welcoming and exactly as you would expect from a merchant. She nodded at the man who greeted her, giving a slight smile as she pulled up her own inventory in preparation for the pick up and drop off that she had planned. "Hey, thanks for this. I've been looking everywhere...oh, and I found these while out hunting...figured you would have more use for them than I would. Feel fr

Onora gave no response to the words, instead simply hugging Nari tighter. There was no need to say anything as the two of them embraced. She wasn't sure how long they stood there, but when they did eventually break apart it appeared to Nari as if the sun had shifted in the sky. Silently, the two came to the agreement to head home for the day. They made their way towards the gate that signalled the entrance from the garden, taking time to say their goodbyes and thanks to Nemo for their time spent in the garden. The man, as always, seemed sad to have them leave, but placed no attempts to resist

The final shards of the wolf disappeared into the sky, and Nari found herself letting a sigh of relief escape her. Her eyes hovered over the area the wolf had stood mere seconds ago, before turning to face Onora. The blonde was breathing heavily - the rush of the conflict and the amount of effort that they'd been putting in clearly more than Onora was used to in her daily work - and Nari found herself grinning again. Her voice, when she spoke, was filled with a level of sarcastic humour as she poked at the friend. "You know, if you spent more time out here exercising, you'd be in better shape.

A trio of wolves exploded as Nari passed through, glancing back to notice as Onora gave a finishing blow to one of the creatures, the others having died from Nari's own strikes. The remaining wolf had attempted to slash it's claws out towards the knightess, but the attack had been easily turned aside by Nari's shield, forcing the thing to back off as Onora rushed to join the knightess and press the final attack that would bring the creature down. Nari gave a quick flash of a grin towards Onora, seeing the same excitement and rush of adrenaline in the blonde as coursed through her own form.

She felt as each of the strikes of the spear connected with some form of the wolves' body, causing them to lock in place as her own steps carried her through and beyond the pack of wolves, out onto the opposite side and clear of the follow-up strikes that Onora released against the creatures. Nari couldn't help but smile as she watched over the blonde's form, the range of motions slightly wider than a perfect stance, but a far cry of improvement compared to when she had first met her. She glanced over the wolves, shifting her position as she waited for them to overcome the freezing status that

"Wolves." Onora gave a nod in the direction she'd been staring, and Nari finally turned her attention towards the wolf pack that Onora had indicated and chosen. She felt a small smile touch the corner of her lips, and she gave a soft laugh in response. Onora seemed to be beaming, her expression held back, barely, in a manner that would keep it visible from all but Nari's eyes. She'd come to understand the expressions and appearances of the woman too easily, and could see the brimming excitement behind the mask. "I know how much you love them." The two took off towards the wolf pack, clos

The silence had stretched beyond Nari's comfort, and she was beginning to wonder if they would simply spend the rest of the day staring off over the fields, no further words passed between them. She found herself opening her mouth to speak on numerous occasions, but no words came out. Nothing to break the stretch that was reaching further and further. She was saved from the conundrum of everlasting quiet, however, when Onora suddenly stood up and reached a hand down towards her. "Come on, one last little fight before we head off for the day, yeah?" The blonde wore a simple smile, one wh
