Kijana Joka
"Yeah.. flying.. there really isn't a word to describe it." Kijana says softly then looks over to find his companion falling asleep. With a small smile, Kijana looks once at the sky. Maybe he would take a quick fly after all. He needed something to relax him. Opening the window, he jumped, not bothering to unfurl his wings till he was close to the ground. Flapping them hard, he sailed up till only the moon's light touched his face. Sighing with tranquillity, Kijana soared through the night sky till sleep slowly took him. With a quiet drift, he flew back to his room and silently as any bird of night, he slipped in and went to bed, with his face turned to the window always.

Elenwen looked up when she heard a sudden rush of air, looking out the window she spotted the dragonkin gliding throught the air. She contented to watch and remain unnoticed, she didn't sleep. She looked at the stars, still shining bright. There was always the legend that one day every hundred years the stars would fall across the sky, magic would be stronger but also wilder. She dreaded that legend being true but also hoped it could be; she wished to find who she was and the extra magic of Star Fall would grant her that but her magic was also already wild, what would happen if it went mad?

: Ayra :

Ayra tosses in her sleep. Her mind is filled with echoes of the past and something more...sinister. Her dreams take her to the night before she'd met Marle. This time though, it wasn't the drunken man chasing her through the streets, but something more terrifying. A silhouette seemingly made of nothing but shadow. Fear fills her as she runs from what she can only comprehend as death. No matter how far or fast she runs, the figure just continues to grow closer. She cries for help and people appear. Every face she had seen in her life stands watching, forming an alley for her to run. She looks back and the figure is upon her. She lets out a horrified shriek as it descends upon her. Enveloped in the darkness, she struggles trying to break free but there is no escape, not from death. As she lies in the darkness, her mind fading as the field around her grows darker, a name slips from her sleeping lips. "Marle." A hand reaches through the darkness and pulls her out. He smiles at her and pulls her close. Ayra wakes in a cold sweat as their faces draw near. She sits up, hoping she didn't disturb the other girl.

Marle

Marle wakes to the sound of thrashing in the other room. Despite her nightmares, Ayra's mind stopped her from screaming, though she did speak. Marle dresses himself for a fight. Perhaps the innkeeper figured out the ruse and called the guards. He would have expected him to send them after Kijana first if they did though. His sword sheathed at his side. Marle opens the door and leaves the room. "Kijana. If you will check on the girls, I'm going to see what our friendly innkeeper is up to." Marle walks past the room, the thrashing had stopped and a few of the other boarders were sticking their heads out of their doors. Marle shoos them back into their rooms as he passes, heading for the stairs. At the bottom, he finds the innkeeper sound asleep. He places a small bag of coin at the man's feet and collects some bread and water from behind the bar before heading back up.

Kijana Joka
"Um okay." Kijana says not exactly sure how to go about checking on the girls. Still completely dressed in yesterdays clothes, he walks over to the girls room. Knocking softly, he calls out the the girls. "Ayra? Elewen?" Kijana couldn't just walk in, specially not on some ladies, that just is wrong, Kijana thinks as he waits for a responds. He hopes everyone is okay. If they didn't answer soon though he would peek in to make sure no one was hurt.

Elenwen looked up with a start, first at Ayra's muttering and then at the knocking. Elenwen turned away from the window "Um... come in." she said. What was wrong? There wasn't a fight was there? She stood up carefully, her raven flapping to her shoulder and her icy blue eyes seeming to almost glow in the darkness. "What's wrong?" she asked, quickly flipping the lock and opening the door. The raven did three laps on the hall and then flapped back onto Elenwen's shoulder with an annoyingly loud sqwuack.

: Ayra :

Ayra sits up blushing. She had hoped no one had heard her. It seemed that Elenwen was too lost in her mind to hear at least. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up so early." Ayra blushes and looks past Kijana. It was nice that the lizard boy had come to check on them and make sure they were alright, it was something she would never have expected. She was used to humans who only wanted to find the latest gossip, never to help. She is more interested in Marle though. Where was he? Had he left her behind with them? Typical human, get what he wants and then leave. But what did he get? Marle had only given, never taken. Maybe he was trying to win favor with the Makers. Then again he did fight and kill. What was his angle what did he have to gain? Her mind churns the question over and over again. "Where's Marle?"

Marle

Marle takes to the stairs and suddenly hears his name. Curious, he walks up behind Kijana, his arms full of food. "Yes? Eat up, we'll need to leave soon before that bumbling fool wakes up and calls the guard." He hands a loaf to both Kijana and Elenwen before snapping the third for him and Ayra. He gives Ayra the larger piece, she would need it more if she had trouble sleeping. He sets the pitcher of water and cups on the ground amongst them. He sits and crosses his legs as he bites into his piece.

Kijana Joka
"Marle had woken me up. He said something was wrong in here? Is everyone okay?" Kijana asks looking around, finding no one hurt. He watches as the raven does a few sweeps of the hallway. It was a smart bird just like most birds of prey. As it returned to is friend, he sees Marle walk up behind him with loafs of bread."Thanks, but I'm not really hungry yet." Kijana says as he hands Ayra the rest of the bread.

: Ayra :

Ayra can't help but be suspicious of the lizard boy's kindness. "Thanks." No one is truly that giving. Except maybe Marle, but he had other demons she had learned of. She takes the bread despite her suspicions. She didn't need to eat it now, she would save it until later when she did. Lizard boy was a fool to give the supply away. Ayra watches the others as she eats. She won't sit down, she may accept the woman Elenwen but she had no trust for any of them. Marle always trusted easily and it always put him at risk. She would not share in his mistakes.

[Sijach~Shadowstorm]

Elenwen stood back and watched it was interesting to see how they all looked out for each other. She wondered if that was how a family worked, people looking out for each other. There was a sudden pain in the back of her skull, she winced, duckign her head down to hide the red of eyes. "Go away." she hissed under her breath. Her eyes went back to there starry cold blue and she looked back up, standing in the shadows hoping no one had noticed. She remained quiet and watched.

((Came up with an awesome plot twist but it might be a bit confusing. ))
