*Hanna thinks for a second*

Hanna: Ummm. I-I... W-why do people hurt each other?...

*Kara tilts her head*
K: It's me, Kadan.
*takes a step towards Maiev and stops*
K: I... Lusacan is dead.

*Andraste just shifts into a white orb and floats above the scene, out of reach of the Avatar*

*Wade is still on his mission*

*Aerin is having a bad dream, and would probably just stab anyone that bothers him rn cause he's pissy*

*Morgan is 6 foot flat so Billy is 5'8" and not too much taller than Maril*
*He nods*
Morgan: Don't worry. I'll be back. I promise.


*Iris slips and nicks her finger at one of the deepest, hardest to answer questions being asked of her*
Iris: Ow!
*She sucks on a the finger and sighs*
Iris: That's... not a easy question to answer Hanna. Some people hurt people because they like it, some people hurt others to take their things, some people hurt others to defend their things...
It's such a hard question to answer! Of all the ones you ask me!
*She laughs good-naturedly*
Iris: I can't answer that Hanna, I can only guess. I know that my father-in-law hurts people because he believes he's better than them. I know my Brother hurts people who attack him, but only when they attack and he needs to defend.
*She sighs sadly*
Iris: Ultimately I don't know Hanna, I just don't know... But I know if someone where to try to hurt you, you just might have to defend yourself. Can you do that Hanna? Are you capable of depending yourself?
*She finishes snipping and starts stitching*

*Marinalia smiles and breaks free of Morgan but not want to*
I'm terrible at goodbyes. So Il head off to bed...

Il not wanna let go otherwise.
*hands Morgan her necklace, that's delicate silver with 3 moons*
(he will know its silver as he repaired it a while ago so know if allergic to it on skin anyway and can put it somewhere else)

You can give it me back. Il check on Dira in morning b

*heads off to bed after a lingering goodbye*

...

*Furia has got self ready and grabbed some ration packs regardless of gakky, there food and is ready to leave when needed*

*Smiles at Marlina nd Morgan*
Don,t lose her... Lucky...
*keeps to self her tribes personal beliefs about jewellery as bot apply, but kinda sad too as misses her culture*

*Morgan smiles sadly*
Morgan: Don't worry... I'll be fine. You'll get this back soon enough!
*He holds up the necklace and nods to Furia*
Morgan: I know just how lucky I am... Danu... That girl..
*Smiles to himself before shaking his head and pocketing the necklace*

OOC: Silver's only harmful to Elders if it gets in the bloodstream.

Hanna: Y-yes I c-can... B-but I don't want t-to...

*Hanna curls up into a ball*

*Iris grimaces and quickly finishes what she's doing*
*When she finishes and stands up she's wearing what amounts to basically a very modest bikini*
*She quickly walks over to Hanna and wraps her in a hug*
Iris: I know dear... You don't have to hurt anyone... It's alright, don't worry. I'm here for you...

*Furia nods with knowing look*

You may find she ... Think same. My people belive old legend.
All soul split as jelous god wanted alone... Souls find each other .. nature of soul.

It how we understand.
*rests in a chair until time to leave.

Ooc night.

*Hanna squeaks at getting hugged*

Hanna: T-thank you Iris...

*Iris can probably see a metal lump on the back of Hanna's head*

*Morgan nods*
Morgan: Sounds... Interesting (I wonder who they ran into? Hm...)
*Tries to think of a Elder who might have inspired that belief as the part heads out*
*Gharn transforms and lopes along on all fours with Black Hawk standing on his back. The Native American man balances effortlessly as he uses the height advantage to scout the terrain*
*Billy and Morgan walk along, conversing rather calmly but Morgan is growing more and more tense as they get farther from the base*


*Iris bites her lip, thinking as she gently hugs Hanna*
Iris: O-of course Hanna... Hanna I'd like to ask you a question, and I'd like you to answer truthfully.
*She brushes one hand over the lump on Hanna's head*
Iris: What is this? Do you know?

*Zoey frowns at Billy, and then returns to rolling.*

---
*Robbed figure starts walking north.*
*A strange corruption follows in his steps.*

*Hanna makes a sad noise*

Hanna: I-I know what it is... And I d-don't like it... B-bad people put it t-there...

*Iris tries to calm Hanna down by gently rubbing one hand on her back as she hugs her*
Iris: Can you tell me please? It could be a way to start helping you if I knew...


*Horus is looking around for Jason or someone else*
Horus: Hello?! Is there anyone I can speak to!? I'd like to speak with your leader if possible!
*Knocking on various doors but not attempting to enter them or anything*

*Hanna shakes her head*

Hanna: I-I don't wanna t-talk about it... I-it's dangerous... A-and it feels t-terrible t-to use...

*Hanna pulls away slightly*

*Iris lets go and sighs sadly*
*She puts a hand on Hanna's shoulder*
Iris: Hanna.. I'm just trying to help you... I can't do that if you don't talk to me. Please... I just want to help you with whatever it is you're going through. Now... What do you mean terrible to use?

*Jason appears behind Horus, not looking really amused.*
Jason: What do you want, I'm not really in need of you assistance.
*He sighs.*
Jason: Why don't you follow the other elders, and run off into the woods.

*Horus turns and sighs*
Horus: Perhaps, but I'm of the opinion that it would be better to fight these monsters together then separate.
*He sighs*
Horus: Why don't I follow them? Because I'm smart enough not to dismiss you just because of our differences.
*He folds his arms*
Horus: I don't care if you don't need me. I probably need you. I don't know what I'm dealing with, not really. I'd at least like what information you have on these demons.

*Hanna shivers*

Hanna: It's not healthy... It's to help m-me fight...

*She looks back at Iris tears bubbling up in her eyes*

Hanna: C-can we please n-not talk about t-this...

*Iris looks extremely sorry for asking*
Iris: I... Of course Hanna... I'm so sorry...
*She squeezes Hanna's shoulder again and pulls her into a hug*
Iris: I promise not to ask again... I'm so sorry for pressing you Hanna...

*Hanna sobs quietly as Iris hugs her*

*She hugs Iris weakly*

*Iris gently strokes Hanna's back trying to calm her as she cries a bit herself, furious at herself for upsetting Hanna so badly*
*She holds Hanna tightly*
Iris: I'm Sorry Hanna... I'm so sorry...

*Hanna look up when she hears Iris cry a little*

*She then breaks the hug turns around and looks up at Iris*

Hanna: P-please don't cry, I-I don't want to m-make people cry.

*She hugs Iris again*

*Iris smiles gently and wipes her face*
Iris: I-it's okay. I'm sorry Hanna.
*Gets hugged and smiles*
*After a while she looks down at Hanna*
Iris: Why don't we do something? Coffee? Just something to put both our minds off this.

*Hanna lets go and looks up at Iris*

Hanna: T-that sounds like a great idea.

*She smiles weakly*

*Iris smiles and nods*
Iris: Alright, let me just clean these up...
*She hands Hanna the needle and scissors and gathers up the scraps of material*
Iris: I'll go get the coffee on while you put those away, okay?

*Smiles and exits the room to go to the kitchen.*

*Hanna nods and puts the equipment back into her backpack then heads towards the kitchen*

*Iris is already setting two mugs of coffee down on the table as Hanna walks in*
Iris: Here we are!

*Dria limps from her room and towards the kitchen*


*Merg gets up from wherever she was and goes to the main room where she sits down, pulls out her tattoo kit and starts working on something on her leg. She's pulled one pant leg up revealing several over tattoos on her leg, including a cracked skull, two crossed daggers and the outline of a tree.

*Hanna smiles at Iris and takes a seat and sips her coffee*

Hanna: T-thank you Iris... Sorry about before.

*Iris waves away the apology*
Iris: No, no. I shouldn't have pushed you. Forget it. Let's just talk about something else... Now to think of what...

*Dria limps into the kitchen and rummages around for some food*
Dria: Hi...
*Iris looks sympathetic*
Iris: Hey Dria... how you feeling?
*Dria shrugs sadly*

*Marinalia walks into main room and sees Dira, Iris etc*
Hey.. I was just gonna pop by.
*greets everyone else too present*

Thought you might of wanted a friend, bit of company...

*sits down and joins them with a coffee, though less effected than Dira as more used to having to say goodbye to people however still could tell she misses someone too*

...

*Furia follows group quietly as not know them as well as likes of Iris, and a few others. *
*Recognises gharn from the fenris hall moment laughing slightly at the memory, and kinda marvels at a strange tanned man rising a lion as its kinda odd*

*looks out for tracks and trails as she goes*

Ooc yay, internet ate my last post...
