Eleven turned her attention to Skye, a soft sigh escaping from her lips. She pulled up a chair, slouching down into the seat. Eleven rolled her eyes slightly, folding her arms over her chest. "How have you been doing?" she asked both of them, but as it turned out, Toby had fallen asleep in his chair. Eleven bit into her lower lip softly, her gaze resting upon Skye now with unwavering attention.

"I am just fine, but it seems... he is still a bit tired." Skye said, looking at Toby a little uncertain for his health. To be sleeping so often really didn't make sense, but if that is what he wanted to do, Skye had no right to stop him. Skye had a few ideas on what his and Eleven's relation could be, but the one he felt was most probable was that they were siblings or cousins, since they did share a few similar features.

Eleven sighed, relieved to hear that Skye was, or at least she thought, getting along pretty well in prison. She turned her gaze back to Toby, her eyebrows furrowing slightly. "Hm," Eleven mused under her breath, her expression turning quizzical. "I guess he's trying to sleep off that bullet wound..." she murmured, closing her eyes and pinching her nose bridge. Eleven sighed, feeling bad for Toby, after all, he had been the one that had taken her in off the streets when she was younger.

[Mayiamaru]

"Hmm. Quite the interesting method." Skye said, just watching Toby as he slept. "It would explain quite a bit however." He added, turning to look at Eleven again. "So he seems to be important to you, correct?" He asked, looking at Eleven emotionlessly, although he did show a bit of interest. He never did quite like the idea of being left in the dark, but if Eleven didn't want to share, it wasn't SKye's place to question her.

Eleven glanced at Skye out of the corner of her eye, raising an eyebrow at him. She sighed, returning her gaze to Toby, who stiffled out a snore. Eleven had to bite her lip to keep herself from laughing, but when she heard Skye's last question, all of her previous humor left her. "Not at all..." she said, her eyes narrowing on Skye. "I just feel like I owe him something for taking me in..." Eleven stated, her voice in a monotone as she spoke.

[Pockyy]

Xaphira snorted. "I think James will get a sword for the forge, but it may be wise to enchant it if you have magical skills? Of course, I will help too." The dragon suggested, knowing a simple sword may break under pressure. If only there were still people like elves around, she thought o herself, a certain heritage stirring inside of her. She turned her attention onto Hunter and Mayia, "He should be back soon, but meanwhile you seem tired. Feel free to take some food from the leather bag, I think James bought some earlier on."

James walked through town briskly, his dark cloak surrounding him. He found the smith eventually, on the outskirts of the town. The burly man that worked the anvil barely looked up, hammering a piece of cherry red metal strongly. "What do you want?" He asked gruffly, plunging the metal into a cold bucket of water with some tongs. The metal sizzled, steam evaporating in his face before he took it out and admired his handiwork. It was the blade of a small dagger, flat and smooth from hard steel. "I want a sword." James replied boldly, after watching him work. The man laughed dryly, "What kind boy?" James looked around his workshop, the question forcing to think hard about it. He had rarely wielded a weapon in his life, even more so a sword. "I suppose something with a sharp point and something that will survive battle. Something I can hold with one hand, though able to hold with two if necessary."

"I see. You and I are more alike than I had expected." Skye said, lowering his tone after saying, 'I see'. He fixed the cuff of his red jumpsuit while his hat tilted forward just lightly. He didn't say any more than that.

Mayia flinched a little, lowering her neck into her shoulders and shaking her head. "I-It's alright... He bought it... It w-wouldn't be right for us to take any..." Mayia said, staring down at her hands and tensing a little at the shoulders. Hunter sat up, licking Mayia's cheek and making her flinch again. "She's just too cautious about these kinds of things, but if she doesn't want to, then it isn't my place to question her." Hunter said a little teasingly towards Mayia.

Eleven frowned, turning her head round to look at Skye. She sighed, folding her arms tightly over her chest. "Well," Eleven said, her eyelids sliding halfway shut and she turned her head and looked over at the far wall. "Rioku and I got everything done..." she stated, but she didn't know if Skye cared or not. "He's a good canine... I think he misses you." Eleven said, saying it on an exhale of her breath.

[Mayiamaru]

"He is a part of me. Being apart from him is not a thing I wish for either, yet against the law, there is no choice now, is there." Skye said, knowing that he couldn't go against something he didn't know of. This government was strange and elusive. Skye couldn't figure out their objective for the death of him, so he refrained from doing anything to or for them. That was just how it should be.

Eleven frowned, listening to Skye with a monotonous look upon her face. She placed a hand over her thigh, lightly tapping a finger against the panel to the hidden compartment within her leg. "What were you charged with?" Eleven asked in a soft voice, her eyes focused upon the wall as she spoke.
