says to ____Kiss of Death____Jul: Green opals swayed into the direction ye pointed, still not answering, leaving the talking to you. Without further reaction, i just turned on heels and walked away, the bow with the broken string loose and nonchalantly on shoulder. 5'4" strength and feline forms, tight lethers and bare belly, with my own comfortable worn boots that fitted like gloves. Red manes danced over shoulder, necklace of fish shells curled in cleavage. Bags. with weapons. I was curious to see them. The decisio of beingfriends, i let on yer account for the moment.

says to **** Catching fire **** : *I follow about 6' behind you. Both duffles are zipped up and strapped up tight, equal in weight, though one is half empty as the weapons are heavy, and the other is stuffed full with lighter camping gear. They each weigh about 35 pounds, so it won't be a fun task, but I suspect you will be highly motivated to be a better friend than you have been until now.* What is your name, Panther?

says to **** Catching fire **** : Very funny Sarah. I read Circe's reports. I recognize you from her description. It's not like there are hundreds of Panthers to keep straight. Too bad about Circe. She was a fine agent until she got girly and it made her squirrely. C'mon, get a go on, the sooner you get moving, the sooner that headache will go away.

says to ______Kiss of Death_____: The bag with weapons attracted my curiousity, and i could barely lift it up. I was strong, toned, muscled, fast, all you wanted, but even for a 5'4" tall forest girl with a wheight around 100 lbs, lift up two times 35 pounds was impossible. Suddenly head snapped over shoulder, as green opals challenged yer gaze. 'Circe is murdered' I just replied, trying to see in yer eyes how much you knew. 'and i suggest we both carry one bag' I added, ignoring that ye knew my name. Ye sure were of 'the guild', allthough i had no clue what that implied. Your mentioning of a report made me uncomfortable. I had come to the forest to escape law and order and civilisation.

says to **** Catching fire **** : *I looked you up and down, assessing your ability to carry the bags, realizing you are even skinnier than I had first thought. I shake my head, disappointed in this state of affairs. In the old days, we would have put 20 more pounds of muscle on you before letting you call yourself a Panther. I do the math on making two trips, versus carrying a bag myself, and decide to heft the less bulky weapon bag myself, taking it onto my left shoulder, while still holding the axe in my right hand, the handle resting atop my right shoulder.* I can throw this axe pretty accurately, and it won't feel real good coming out your back, if you run. Start heading inland, and when we get to a good spot, I'll tell you.

says to ______Kiss of Death_____: I wasn't planning to show weakness, and known to be tough and uncompromising, with a determination that surprised most. I had a nick name in the Arari-band : Sarah the though, and was proud of it. I bound my bow on the other bag and, as if that pack was light as a feather, i slung it over shoulder, simply turning into the direction you pointed. I had time. Time enough to see what i would do. Yer axe was something to take into account, but no more then that. Teeth gritted as i choose a trail of a tarsk troup to follow, not planning to show ye my secret hiding places.

When we reach a small clearing, where a large tree has been cut down, and the sun has dried the ground more than most places around, I tell you to stop, and leave the sack of camping gear.*

says to ALL: I kept standing, hooking fingers behind the straps that held the heavy pack with gear on back. Worn, fingerless woolen gloves protected palms, staring back at you impressionless. 'you make camp here?' I asked calm, trying to fight the tremble of tired legs, as boots were firmly planted on soft forest ground.

says to ______Kiss of Death_____: I shrugged, and slipped the pack from shoulder, letting it fall with a heavy thud on the needle-covered ground. I massaged shoulders, and sat down on the back, placing elbows on spreading knees, and bending over to look at a spot somewhere between boots. That answer was one from someone known to the habits of the forest. Ye kept yer camp secret. Ye tried to have a hiding place, where ye could flee to in case of danger. Then i glared at you from under long eyelashes.
"what's your mission ?" I asked calm, simply assuming there was one, cause why else, one with the obvious whealth ye had, would come to here.

says to ______Kiss of Death_____: I picked up a twig, and drew a pattern of squares in the needle-covered forest floor, seemingly dreaming and absent minded. 'ye said ye knew Circe' I simply answered that remark of you. Greens again challenged yer eyes, searching for answers. I tossed the twig away, and rose up, walking over to where ye had put down the bag with weapons. 'ye trade?' I asked then, crouching in front of it and looking at you questioning. A red lock fell over cheek, hiding the bruise that burned and hurted, and surely glowed deep blue.

says to **** Catching fire **** : I said I read Circe's status-reports, the dispatches she sent to the Guild Library. I personally, never met her, although we did have a few common friends.
What I have in these two sacks, is the minimum equipment I felt I would need to survive and flourish in the Forest this summer. There is not one item I would want to do without. So, I don't really have anything to trade away, at this time. Except advice, stories, fortunes... the usual lot of the traveling storyteller.

says to ______Kiss of Death_____: 'a pity' I answered, leaving the crouch and sitting down on thight ass cheeks, barely protected by leather miniskirt. Knees pulled up, and arms wrapped around calves, as i placed chin on knees to look again at you. ye were taller then me, probably stronger too, though i sure could outrun you, and i considered myself not without a chance might it come to a wrestle. Yet yer selfconfidence startled me. I could use a new spear, so i wondered if ye had a spearhead stabbed somewhere in that pack.
'we all have advices and stories' I smirked. 'what is so special about those that story-tellers share? Isn't living the stories not far more important?'

says to ______Kiss of Death_____: 'that's true' I nodded, rolling chin over knees. I felt a flash of homesickness, thinking back at the long winternights in our lair, sitting together in Arari's hut, joined around a small fire, arms wrapped around waist of the girl in front of ye, yer chin on her shoulders, another laying comfortably in her lap, while we told stories at each other, the fire cracking and the wind howling outside. Yet i had fled to the forest, to escape the terror of civilisation, to escape the shame i felt of being a daughter of a rich slaver in Ar. That too was something that differed us from the tarsk and bosk. we were cruel, and kept ones of our kind in cages and chains, and treated themand treated them as investments. 'tell me a story' I yawned , as the sun warmed up the forest.

says to ______Kiss of Death_____: (smile... don't tell me...LOL) 'what ye want?' I mirrored that question. Most of my things i had left behind in my secret hiding place. My bow was out of the question, as was my quiver with arrows and my knife. 'i can make ye another one like this' I smiled, showing ye the necklace of sea shells and teeth of larls that hung around neck, sinking down in cleavage and raking over swell of breasts.

You wouldn't have any way to know what I have been through, but if Circe was sexual in everything she did and said, I might as well be the flip side of that coin. I am completely oblivious to any kind of flirting you might be engaged in.* A necklace of shells rates for a very short story, Sarah. You have extra bowstrings, I presume?

I leftthe clearing, preparing to return to the beach. not cause i lived there, but to be sure ye wouldn't find out my camp. That was the last thing i wanted.

says to ALL: *Confident now that it is safe to leave the gear here for now, I scout the area until I find a suitable hiding place for the duffle with weapons, of which I have acquired a between Scagnar, Tuchuk, and Turia. For now, I take a bow, quiver, assorted arrows, a quiva, a dagger, and a throwing spear, then seal up the watertight duffle and bury it under a shallow-root bush. Using a hand-shovel from the second bag, I dig up the bush, dig a hole beneath it, spread the dirt all around, bury the bag, and replant the bush.*

is in among ancient, huge tur trees
says to ALL: *There is usually very little burnable wood litter in this part of the Forest, and no good source of water. That's the downside. The upside is that the sightlines are good, because the giant trees are spaced widely, and there is not enough light or water for much undergrowth to grow. Plus, the falling needles of the Grandfather Turs acidify the soil, further hindering the growth of weeds, which is all other plants are to these ancient trees, and humans but another small insect.*
