Rynk shook his head slightly before he swallowed another piece of the rabbit meat, "No I'm-- wait, cat eyes?" The adventurer looked confused and surprised. That definatly wasn't normal--maybe it had something to do with his arm? Clearly, it seemed as there were three large claw-swipe cuts on his forearm, he had been attacked by some sort of creature while he was unconcious out in the middle of the forest... when he came to, he felt the numbing sensation and realized that his arm was severely deformed.
"No... they must be from whatever did this:" he held up his right arm that was bare up to his shoulder--the glove he once wore must have been torn off it when the creature attack him in his slumber. "It's numb... and I have no idea what happened. I can move it fine, and it seems that when I--" He had tried to clench his fist again, and like before, a circle of blades appeared from his palm--he could grip it only far enough to rest on the small base of the weapon that formed from the hard skin. "...this thing comes out when I try to clench my fist. I have no idea where this place is or what has happend to me up until now." Rynk's voiced seemed a little distressed, but it was calm and soft like it usually was--he usually didn't panic much at all.

"hmmm That's very interesting." She took a grip on his arm and gently moved it around. " It seems you've been clawed by a chrome demon." She said quietly. "When it clawed you it injected some of it's own DNA by mistake, It must of been in panic." She stated while letting his arm go. " Do not worry, it shall wear off while you grow older, for now you are stuck with it." Violetta smiled.

((Sorry, went afk--had to take out the trash))
Rynk watched curiously as the self-proclaimed demon held his arm and moved it around lightly. Though the skin was harder than a normal person's skin, its flexibility wasn't inhibited much at all. Though because of the numbness and the fact that the veins and the muscles were all pushed towards the surface, it felt slightly heavier than his other arm.
"I hope..." the adventurer sighed slightly. At least it wasn't life-threatening; he couldn't really ask for the whole thing to be any kinder besides for it to go away. He could live with it, but it would take a while to get used to. Of course he didn't like it, but he had no real choice; only the ensuranse that it would wear off 'as he grew older.' "Violetta..." he said softly, as though hoping he got the name right after she just introduced herself--he nearly forgot whilst pondering over what he just learned about the affliction, "I hate to ask so many questions... but, where are we, exactly? I guess after I woke up after blacking out that I was lost."

"Well we're in the feudal era," She stated with a thoughtful expression. " I thought you'd know that. Don't you live around here?" She questioned.

The rogue-like human recoiled slightly by the question, though he tried to repress the motion to make it obvious. Her reply seemed indicate what age of year they were currently in, not exactly what he had asked, but he figured he should go along with it. He was usually reluctant to give out the full truth of where he actually 'came from,' not that he liked to lie or hide all the details, but because others had reacted negatively to the fact that he wasn't supposed to be in their world. "I know that..." he said quietly, not meaning to make it sound like a rude comment, "But, you're right. I'm not from around here--I've been a wanderer for a very long time, moving from place to place."
In truth, that wasn't exactly a lie--the truth was just manipulated to seem like a more common thing rather than what it really was. He would tell her later on if she was still around, and if she could be trusted to bare the truth on her mind without thinking him as some sort of apocolyptice scurge or whatever else like some have done in the past. Rynk hated keeping secretes, but this one might determine if he lived or died--it didn't help that a lot of people asked him that question in each and every realm he's been in so far. "I guess what I mean to ask is if there is any sort of town or village around here--I wouldn't want to burden you all with my stay here. I would have to get going before all the light is gone."

Rae had run off in search of a cave to stay in that night while her guest slept. Unfortunately, there weren't any in the area, so she returned to find another alternative. However what she saw as she entered the campsite boiled her blood.
"What the?!" she spat, surprised. Her tail flicked back and forth in annoyance. She quickly approached the two demons (who were in their human form for some reason) someone laying on the ground. She towered over the person on the ground, analyzing him.
"This isn't a charity," she said flatly, adressing Roary and Violetta, "And I sincerely hope one of you two didn't invite him here."
To Rynk, she attained a more cheerful attitude, "Hello there and welcome to my camp. I'm Rae."
She bent down and offered her hand.

Violetta twitched a little. "we simply took him in because of injuries. I'm terribly sorry for not asking for permission but you were no where in sight and well it all happened so fast." She stammered at the end, She always hated upsetting others, twas a burden to her.

Rae winced. Somehow Violetta always made her feel so guilty.
"Eh, you know me: Freak out first, ask questions later. It's fine, really." She sighed and her shoulders drooped a tad, "I just don't know what to do with all of you guys."

Rynk quickly turned his head towards what seemed to be yet another demon who was storming towards them with a rather annoyed expression on her face. She seemed to scold the two he was talking to, and then quickly changed her tone of voice to a much more polite one when she addressed him. As Violetta tried to explain, he jumped in right after her--"I asked if I could rest here for a moment," he told the light lie in hopes of defending the others, "if anyone is to blame for my presense here, it is me; I deeply apologise for any wrong I have committed, I was actually about to get on my way as soon as I learned where I am."
The rogue-like hero spoke fluently. It wasn't really a lie to be ashamed of, and wasn't too unconvincing either. He stared towards the new demon who had just returned to the camp with his deep-brown eyes--though he still hasn't seen what his once normal eyes had become, the human teenager's pupils were nearly vertical slits like a cat's.

Violetta sighed, relieved. " I am still terribly sorry though Rae." She smiled then turned back to the Human. " I'm sure Rae will let you stay until you gain feeling back in your arm." Violetta looked back over to Rae.

Rae laughed, "It really doesn't bother me, and I prolly shouldn't over-react... I just get jittery when I meet too many people at once."
She itched the bottom of her left horn and grabbed one of the bowls Violetta had just washed.
"You're hungry, not?" she grabbed a handful of salad, shoved it into the bowl and handed it to him, "What kind of demon are you? I've not quite seen one like you.

Feeling his black and red feathers smoothed back by the night wind awakened Zephyr's predatory mind, and all he was thinking at that moment was food. His stomach growled, and having not had a decent meal for three suns was starting to grate on the hawk demon's strength. In the distance, he spotted the telltale smoke from a campfire, and angle towards it. Within a few minutes, he was circleing over the site, and spotted three figures down below. One appeared injured while the others appeared to be fine; one was even skinning a small rabbit, he noticed. Suddenly, a gust of wind threw Zephyr off balance, and with a screech, he summersaulted towards the ground, and landed on his feet, having returned to his half-form in midair to avoid a dangerous collision. Standing, he brushed off a bit of dirt, and allowed his wings to rise above his head behind him. "Um...sorry. I didn't mean to spoil your camp." ((So sorry we ignored your post Zyphan. Um maybe you could edit it a bit and make it happen again. I feel very guilty at the moment. Yet again i'm very sorry. ))

Rynk took the bowl he was handed and peered into it. Though he made a crooked face when he realized it was nothing but a few types of grass and bark mixed together ((that IS what it is, isn't it? Correct me if I'm wrong ; )). Quickly he hid his expression and placed the bowl down somewhere it wouldn't be easily overturned and looked up and grinned sarcasticly, "I'm not really hungry right now; I just ate a little bit a few minutes ago." "Oh... I'm not exactly a demon--I've seem to just be afflicted by some sort of creature that cut me while I blacked out in the forest..." ((Blah, short post ))
