*Thaddeus chuckles and looks pleased*
Thaddeus: I'll be napping on the couch. Enjoy, Rachel..
*He waves to her and goes to recline on the couch*
Thaddeus: Relaxation...
~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Taeria walks out of the bedroom and into the kitchen*

*Wade nods*
DP: Fething ugly, that's what they are.
*draws his gun and fires at the nearest Genlock (smallest Darkspawn out of them all, roughly human sized)*

*The ogre roars and rips off a branch of a tree as it walks past before hurtling said branch at the trio*

*I scratch behind Fluffys ears a bit before she walks off*
*I then get on my helmet vox and begin talking in low, urgent tones*

*Rachel nods, and munches on a cookie.*
Rachel: Rest well, Thaddeus!
*She watches him go recline on the couch, and eats more cookies. Looks up at Taeria, and smiles.*
Rachel: Hello, would you like a cookie?

---
*Jake jumps to the side, trying to avoid the tree.*

*Taeria looks up and smiles with slight surprise*
Taeria: W-Who me? Thank You!
*Taeria looks up at Rachel with familiar dark eyes*
Taeria: a-are you new around Here? I'm Taeria!
*The small young lady flashes flashed a delicate and happy smile*

*Rachel smiles back.*
Rachel: I am new! Nice to meet you Taeria, I am Rachel!
*Holds plate out to Taeria.*
Rachel: Thaddeus made too many for me! Take as many cookies as you like!

*Iris shakes her head*
Iris: It's no trouble at all! Cal?
*Cal nods*
Cal: Fish would help her recover faster.
*He looks at Kara*
Cal: It should help replenish the blood you lost. There's a lot of Vitamin B in fish
*Iris nods*
Iris: Alright! Fish it is. I'll be back momentarily
*She walks off with purpose, Horus watches her go, smiles to himself slightly then turns back to Kara*
Horus: Is there anything else you need?
*Cal quietly exits and goes to help in the medbay*


*Iris walks into the kitchen and pauses, realizing she doesn't know how to cook fish. She sighs and cracks open one of Quetz's many cookbooks*


*Gharn catches the branch with catlike reflexes and wields it double handed like a huge club*
*Wishing he had his sword, Gharn moves forwards to engage the ogre with he newly acquired weapon*

*Taeria smiled and took one cookie*
Taeria: Thanks! A-And by the way.. you're really pretty!
*she giggles sweetly with child-like happiness*
Taeria: Lets be friends!

*Rachel smiles, and waves away her complment.*
Rachel: No you're really pretty! B-but thank you!
*She smiles, and nods happily.*
Rachel: I will be your friend!
*Thinks of how lucky she is to have made three friends.*

---
*Jake rolls to his feet, and fires at some of the darkspawn.*
Jake: Don't seem like much.
*Keeps firing, and smoking his cigarette.*

*Kara shakes her head*
K: I don't need anything else, for now. Thank you.
*sits up properly*
K: You do anything interesting lately?

*Wade keeps shooting at the side Darkspawn*
DP: These guys don't even have guns! What the feth!
*teleports around, shooting DS in the knees and gak because Wade can be a douche*
DP: At least the Taheen gak heads had guns.

*The Ogre tries to bat Gharn aside and roars again, sending spit flying out of its maw*

*Gharn gets knocked aside but quickly gets up and leaps onto the Ogre's back, biting and clawing*


*Horus sighs, shakes his head and chuckles*
Horus: Nearly bled out less than 24 hours ago... you should rest, not make conversation
*He smiles and sits crosslegged*
Horus: I have done several things I find interesting, but I doubt you'd care to hear about my mechanical problems. I've not really been doing many interesting things. Mostly the same old same old.
How about you? Done anything interesting lately?


*Iris is casting nervous glances between the smoking fish and the smoke alarm, because if it goes off she's too short to reach up and turn it off*

*Kara shrugs, then regrets it*
K: Not much, since Maiev left. Went to the gym, but nothing really. Until this happened, but you already know how that went.

*The Ogre roars and tries to shake Gharn off*
*If Gharn were to swallow any blood, it'd burn his throat, taste and smell foul, and cause flu like symptoms shortly after*

*Gharn probably accidentally ingests some blood but keeps on fighting*


*Horus nods*
Horus: I'm sorry this did happen... if I could have been there...
*He growls in anger*
Horus: Anyways, you should rest. I'm sure Iris will be back shortly... assuming she can cook fish.. I don't actually know if she can...


*Iris is desperately waving a large handtowel over the stove, trying to dispel the smoke because she didn't think to open the vent*
*The fish is cooked. Perhaps too cooked*

*Freya is practicing dagger throws in the gym*
*Arya is playing a flute in the living room*
*I get off my vox call and sigh heavily*
*I begin walking towards the kitchen to get dinner*

*Jake deals lead out to the dark spawn, and smokes his cigarette.*
Jake: These guys trying to kill you Wade?
*Blasts a charging hurlock, and two of his buddies.*
Jake: They are hideous.

*Maggie stops moping to herself and stands up*

*She sifts back into human form and sighs*

Maggie: Flagg!? You there!?

*Kara shakes her head*
K: Blood mages... a stronger one can practically kill you in a heartbeat. Besides, he's dead.
*lays back down and sighs*
K: And I'm not going to ask you to follow me wherever I go. I'm used to taking a hit. Now, I think I'll get some sleep until my food gets here. It was nice talking with you, Horus.

*A small cluster of Darkspawn grab the dead Darkspawn and Kade's body/staff before heading back into the forest*

*Wade shrugs and holsters his pistol to draw a katana*
DP: Never seen 'em before in my life, but they're trying right now!
*giggles*
DP: Think they'll be disappointed?

*The ogre keeps trying to get Gharn off of him, and smashes it's back into a tree in the process*
*the more blood that Gharn would ingest, the more the effects would be (the blood is basically a poison, but considering it's part of the Darkspawn curse/taint, it's a lot worse than just a poison)*

*Finally notices the female elf is dead, and rolls off her*
*Tries breaking the chains, which are weakened by the electricity*

~

*Male elf presses the attack, and is really badass and fast*
M: You will pay for interfering.
*Hasn't noticed the female elf is dead*

~

*Joalia thinks*

~

*Amy gets in the box*

*Jake keeps any darkspawn away from him, and Deadpool.*
Jake: Deadpool, help Gharn!
*Keeps smoking his cig like a boss.*

---

*Brunor's Quen shield pops sending energy shards at the male elf.*
Brunor: Fething Aen Elle trash..
*He's pretty fethed up, but still manages to hold his sword steady.*
Brunor: Come die by my Ursine blade.

---
*The crow shifts into Flagg, and he nods to Maggie.*
Flagg: Yes. Everything alright?

*Leo smiles and pokes some holes in the lid of the box*

Leo: You ready Amy to go?

*Smiles at mini Amy in the box*

*Maggie walks up to Flagg and hugs him*

Maggie: I am fine. Just needed to think.

*Horus sighs*
Horus: I know, but it's just.. instilled in me. Having to protect Iris through the ages. I want to protect those I care for, Morgan is much the same, except- I'll not bother you with that.
*He shrugs and stands*
Horus: I'll leave you to rest for now. One of us will be back in a bit with your dinner. Rest well
*He smiles and stands then goes off towards the kitchen, pausing briefly to appreciate Arya's muzak*


*Iris's fish is very well done, but still perfectly edible, but with a real smokey flavor*

*Gharn grunts in pain and falls off, landing hard on the ground. He tries getting to his feet stubbornly, attempting to ignore the effects of the poison*
Gharn: No! He's mine!

*Continues trying to break the chains*

~

*Elf is thrown back from the quen shield exploding outwards, then sees the body of the female elf, and Tala with blood going down from her mouth to her chest*
M: Y-You'll pay for that!
*Gets up, and runs towards Tala, who is still busy with her binds*

~

*Amy nods, and chirps*
*Curls up into a ball, and naps*

*Leo closes the box*

Leo: If anyone asks. You are a bird I found in my room and I am letting you free.

*Starts heading towards her door*

*Kara nods and gets some shut eye, but doesn't sleep*

*Wade rolls his eyes and teleports next to Gharm*
DP: Hey Jake! They smell worse up close!
*slashes at the Ogre's leg, and teleports again to avoid a punch that would've cracked his ribs, and probably more*
DP: You sure you got this, kitty? He's pretty big.

*Santiago watches Joalia and doesn't interrupt her thinking*

*Jake sigh at Gharn.*
Jake: Gharn don't be stupid.
*He keeps dealing with the lesser creatures.*

---

*Brunor growls at being ignored, and grabs his sword two handed.*
Brunor: Don't turn your back on me..
*Holds the sword over his head, then throws it at the male elf. He aims for the spin as he throws.*
*Brunor then falls over from the multitude of slash he received.*

---
*Flagg returns the hug.*
Flagg: I am glad, and I understand.

*Maggie releases Flagg from the hug*

Maggie: You got a plan?

*She manages a weak smile*

*Looks up in time to see the elf's glaive rise up, then the sword piece his chest, and him fall over in front of Tala*
*Is confused for a bit, then sees Brunor on the ground*
*Pulls the sword out of the male elf's back, then drags it along towards Brunor*
*Falls down beside him, then tries picking him up*
...Thank... You...

~

*Joalia eventually nods, and smiles*

~

*Amy chirps, then goes back to napping*

*Gharn grunts, stands, snaps a large branch of a tree, breaks the tip and lunges with his crude spear aimed for the ogre's throat*
Gharn: Mine!
*His irises are a little ragged*

*Jake sighs at the reckless display, and dispatches any darkspawn infantry left.*
*Lights another cigarette, as he does this.*

---
*Brunor manages to nod, and winces at being moved.*
Brunor: Glad to help..
*Sighs at his lack of potions.*
Brunor: Need some swallow..
*Weakly groans, and holds one of the major wounds.*

*Puts Brunor's arm over her shoulder, then starts hobbling towards the room*
You should have saved yourself. I could have escaped on my own... And what is 'swallow'?
