*Nara looked over at Rylan when he said this, a little startled by his optimism. Still, he was right. Thorin shook his head and simply started grumbling something about 'madmen' and 'cursed trees' while the twins merely smiled. Finished with her food, Nara decided it was safe enough to look at her arm now with the others distracted. It stung horribly, although she didn't allow that fact to show on her features. Casually, she let her arm fall in the light of the fire so she could see the cuts. Blood leaked from them and ran down her smooth skin, leaving crimson streaks that glistened wet in the dancing light of the flames. Drawing it back into the shadows again, Nara reached for her pack once more, taking out bandages and a clean cloth.*

Rylan quietly sang the words to the song "Caught in a Dream" by Tesla. He saw Nara fixing her wound and sat up stretching and walking over to the fire, sighing. "need help...?" he asked quietly, continueing his quiet singing.

*Despite her skill with tending to wounds, Nara found that it was quite difficult to wrap an arm with one hand. She had managed to clean the cuts efficiently, but she was unable to do more than that. By the time Rylan approached her, she was quite frustrated. She didn't look at him as he spoke to her, ashamed, as always, for needing any kind of help. She hesitated a moment before sighing in agitation.* "Could you... wrap this for me?" *Her words were slow and reluctant, as if they caused her a great deal of pain to say.*

"sure." he smiled and started wrapping her wounds, still singing his song quietly. "I'm caught up in a dream.I'm gonna wish for it all, no one's gonna tear me down..." he was quiet as he sang, almost like a whisper. Rylan made sure he wrapped her wounds securely. "...no way this is my dream now, I'm caught up in what seems, simply here, " he hummed a small part, " I ain't gonna change a thing, no way this is my dream" He finished wrapping her arm. "there. all done..."

*Nara listened to him in silence as he sang, her green eyes never leaving his face. When he had finished, she checked his job to make sure it was done properly. Satisfied, she nodded.* "Thank you..." *She hesitated a moment before speaking again.* "That song you were just singing... I've never heard it before..."

"yeah, I figured. It's a song from my time period... or dimension... whatever..." he shrugged. "I like it." he shrugged, and started humming it again.

*Nara reluctantly nodded in response.* "As do I..." *She stared at him for a moment, wondering if he truly came from another world or if he was just mad...* "Tell me... about where you come from... What is it like there...?"

"Well the buildings are tall, there's too many people to count, there are less and less wooded areas each day, small towns are slowly becoming cities. It's noisy and polluted with gas and smoke. Wars break out almost every day in countries around the world..." he sighed and looked up at the sky, " people die every day and everyday someone is born... there's alot of styles of music, alot of different people mingled and mixed together, though some people still believe in racial suppiority, many others don't and different races get together well... but there are no elves, no dwarves, no magical being... the races are different types of people..." he kept looking at the sky, he didn't know why he was having trouble thinking of so few good things about his world... "where I live exactly, I've got my publishers constantly bugging me to finish a book that is nowhere near complete so I have to keep post-poneing, and then I lose money... but I'm doing good either way. I'm a well-known author where I come from..."

*Nara remained silent for a moment, trying to let it all sink in. In truth, she really only understood parts of what Rylan was saying.* "So... Where you come from... You write books. Are you a scholar? Or a monk?" *Her green eyes roamed over him for a moment... No, he was too good-looking to be a monk... And he didn't have the frail build of a scholar either...*

"neither.. I'm just a guy that's smart and has alot of imagination. So I write as my job. And people seem to like my books. The one I was working on before I fell asleep and came here was about a guy who had lost his heart and soul because he gave it to the woman he loved. And then she left him. Now he has to wonder the earth, never dieing or aging, until he finds her re-incarnation and gets is back. But of course they fall in love and blah blah blah, I still need to think more about the plot..."

*Nara hesitated, trying to find something to say. She was starting to get a rather irritating headache trying to keep up with this man. So she kept her next words simple.* "I see..." *But in truth, she didn't see at all. Still, she wasn't going to look like an ignorant fool, even if she was one.*

He looked at her curiously, " don't worry, it still confuses me. Like this other one I wrote has such a weird family background that sometimes I can't even keep it straight and I wrote it..." he chuckled, a small smile on his face. ((KAIT I LOVE YOU! THANK YOU!!))

((lol. Yeah. Sorry it took so long, mate. I'm majorly stressed out and busy now that school's back. Luckily I have a few free minutes before I go to bed.))
*Nara shook her head lightly, turning her gaze to the crackling campfire.* "If your books are so well liked, people where you come from must enjoy being confused all the time."

((that's ok, don't stress yourself out just for me. Though I would feel special if you did. lol, seriously, don't. )) "who knows. some might, but I'm not one of them. I like knowing things, and finding answers."

"Well then, that makes two of us..." *Nara frowned slightly, shooting him a rather pointed glance.*
