He flinched and lept back, safely out of Nezumi's reach. He tied the cloth back around his head while saying "NO! No... thank you... I... dont want a hug... but i'll come along I suppose..." he saw the people leaving and his eye twitched "See? Anyone with the Mark..." he began to tremble with rage.
OOC: He's going to start hallucinating soon I think, but it wont yet affect the story, except maybe make him calm down.

Frost turned to the woman and the...person...that was speaking. "Mark? What Mark?" she asked softly, her voice faintly curious. (OOC:Frost has never seen a demon, so she doesn't know what your character is. And when she doesn't know what people are, she always pauses in her thoughts like that...^^;

Endorphin shook his head, snapping out of it for a moment, then shoved himself away from the table and stalked up to the bartender. He leaned over the counter, getting right in the man's face. "Food. Now. Lots." He was quite elegant when he was hungry.

Frost, rubbing her wrist, unconsciously pushed her sleeves up enough for the circuler scars on her wrist to be visable. She watched as the...man...ordered food and raised a delicate eyebrow in wonder, before the bland expression returned to her face.

"When will we be leaving? I'm boooreeed." Chantre came strolling out of the bedroom as if nothing had happened, a plaintive look on her face clearly intended for Nezumi.

Nezumi looked sheepish.
"T-Tomorrow! Yeah! So... You guys get a good nights sleep, buy anything you might need in town... Eat something... you know. Stuff ^^; Oh, and thanks for coming, you guys!" She smiled, and subconciously struck another cutesy pose, with one hand behind her head in embarrassment.

Frost turned to the woman. "Are you the one who posted the notice?" she asked softly, her voice emotionless.

"Yes maam! I am the adorable Nezumi-chaan! What, are you interested? I think I'll need one last candidate!" She turned to Krowin for a second, saying a quick "Well, enjoy yourself until we leave, and sankyuu!*" Then she turned back to Frost, smiling, but looking a tiny bit tired.
*"Sankyuu!" is how Nezumichan says "thank you," sometimes. Say it out loud. You'll get it.

Frost paused a moment, a bit taken back by the woman's manner. Reminds me of Serana, she thought, her eyes narrowing for a moment before her expression returned to its previous bland look. "Well, i was interested in learning more," she said softly.

"About the quest?" She smiled brightly. "Oh, we're going to Mount Fukashigi, to find a mysterious magical item! And well, you will be rewarded... And if I don't want the magical loot, then you might get it! And you never know what we'll find on the way! It should be fun! But... A bit dangerous, too." Her face became sort of a nervous pout, with worried eyebrows and a slightly puckered mouth.

Frost raised an eyebrow. "I don't wish for money," she said softly. Then she tilted her ehad to one side, her eyes lighting up, making her seem more friendly. "However, if you happen to have any spellbooks or spells..."she continued, whispering. After all, the entire reason i came to this dimension was to learn more spells, she thought to herself.

"I think I can arrange that! I have come upn a very valuble spellbook in my time... From the Academy of Magic in Landwen, I have a book on elemental magic... But I'm so bad at magic, I can harldy make sense of the most basic spell! I think you could use that very well..." She adjusted her bandana. Anyone paying attention could see that something small and copper looking stuck an edge out of her bandana for a second, and then was hastily shoved back in by her stealthy fingers. Only the most alert would notice.

"You have a book on elemental magic?!" Frost exclaimed, her voice, for the first time since entering the tavern, excited. Her eyes shone with happiness and she seemed to become very pretty in that instant. she smiled, the first genuine smile she had done in a long time.

Koumori's ears allmost perked up at the mention of magic and spells, but she stopped herself. She didn't look up, but she heard something sliding out of the girl's bandana, and it was pushed back in, hastily. She smirked. Sometimes it was good to be irritatingly attentive to detail. Heh.

"Yeah! It covers wind magic, fire magic, ice magic, water magic, lightning magic--" she ticked the kinds off on her fingers. "Just about anything you can think of! Even a few healy spells. It's about... Yay big?" She motioned with her hands about two feet. "And yay thick!" She smiled and motioned about six inches in the air. "Sooo... I'm guessing your interested?" She was happy that this news made this lady happy!

Frost flushed suddenly. She had allowed her emotions to get out of control again. She retreated back into her shell, her face once again betraying no signs of her inner thoughts. "I am very interested," she said, her voice even.

"Kay! I think we're leaving tomorrow." She said, a little bit dissapointed that the smile was gone.
A scruffy looking man with long brown hair, who had been sitting in the corner, noticed the little group. Upon seeign Koumori, he shouted:
"THAT'S HER! THAT'S THE ONE WHO DESTROYED MY HOTEL!" S\He stood, spilling drink on his shirt, obviously more than a little bit drunk.
"Gyah!" Nezumi looked frightened. If her companion caused a scene here, she might be found out! "Everyone who's coming with me, get moving! We're outta here, right here right now! Come on everybody!" She ran sideways towards the door, holding it open and beckoning for the other members to run through.

Koumori nodded, and without a word, hurriedly made her way outside. It hadn't been her fault that she had lit the inn on fire. She had been asleep. She hoped that noone would ask her to recount the story...

Endorphin, having just recieved his plate of food, looked up in disgust. He had done the female the honor of joining her, and now she was dragging him away from food? He debated something. It didn't take long. With an irritated grunt, he picked up the food and walked out with it - neglecting to pay in the process.

The demon looked at the guy, looked back at Nezumi, sighed and followed.

(Sorry I'm late, heheh, LOTS of homeworks...) Chantre grinned ecstatically, and followed her departing new companions.
"What was that about a book on the elements?" She glared at Frost. For once, she had looked like a real human being, but only to be able to have something that Chantre had wanted. Chantre NEEDED that book. She DESERVED it. Didn't she?

Frost stared at the strange girl who was glaring at her. "I just want the water and ice spells..." she muttered softly, wondering why this girl seemed upset.

Nezumi, seeing that they had collected everyone, took off at a brisk clip. "C'mon you guys! This guy's bad news!"
The scruffy man pulled a pistol half out of his vest, and was just making it to the door of the tavern.

Koumori's movement was long paced and loping. She cast a glare at the man, and hurried on her way.

Endorphin shrugged an stuffed most of a small roast chicken into his mouth before trailing along behind, guarding his foodstuffs jealously. He simply ignored the man. Bah, guns were nothing.

The demon turned his head to look at the man while keeping pace with the rest, letting himself fall slightly behind the group, he covered most of the target which was Nezumi and the rest, making it difficult to shoot anything but him "oh, just shoot me if you think you can kill me...." he said to himself.

The man ran after them, pulling out his gun, and stumbling over a loose stone, fell. As he got up, face burning with embarrasment and drunken fever, he shouted, "I'll get you, girly! And all of your friends! You will regret damaging the property of Terrence the fifth! I'm a the best bounty hunter on the continent! You just wait!"
(Speeding up time)
The group reached the forest outside of town. It was becoming dark. The man had given up chase, and they were safe for now. Nezumi looked about, and said. "Okay! This is where we camp tonight!"

Frost glanced around. "Looks a little...open," she said softly. It seemed dangerous to camp out in the open without any protection what-so-ever. well...except for us... she thought, surveying her fellow bodyguards. However, she didn't quite trust them. Of the four, the only one who seemed least likely to run off in the night was the strange girl who had greeted her, and something about her bothered Frost. The girl with the hat seemed a little flighty, the man who had looked to be ready to eat the table looked as if he'd rather not be here, and the guy with the head wrap was just...scary. Frost looked at her employer. "Are you surte you wish to camp here?" she asked her sftly.
