a begining (omio)

[Omio]

"Nono. He's a healer, but I question his training. That's is what I truly question." Omio's food was finally finished, and he left the plate. He noticed Lyndi take a nap, and followed suit. Howveer, he was actually planing to fake-out, so that he could question the bugger about it later on.

[jada]

The healer came back in to take the plates and he stopped and stood over Lyndi just looking at her. He wanted to wake her and to be with her, but her currrent health called for her to get some rest. He started to walk out of the room.

Lyndi slept soundly, unaware of her surroundings.

[Omio]

Footsteps in. Footsteps out. He was looking. Nothing more. I'll leave him to that. But if he gets a bit too far, I-- CRAP! I forgot about my gear. He "woke" up for a bit, grabbed some of his stuff, most notable, the dagger he bought, and a few other things to make it look like he just put on the comforting things, and "went back to sleep". Now, if he gets too far, he'll have another novel coming.

[jada]

The healer took the plates and left the room. A few minutes later he came back in, unable to help himself. He came over to Lyndi and sat on her bed. this woke Lyndi up, she sat up with a start, and he caught her by the shoulders and whispered,"Careful, do not hurt yourself."

"Oh, well it should be expected for me to be a little jumpy when someone awakes me from my sleep."

"Yes, my dear i am sorry."

"I am not yours so do not refer to me as such."

"Oh but I plan for you to be."

Lyndi wanted to yell for Omio, but she had a feeling that Omio was already awake, waiting for the opritune moment to get the Healer.

[Omio]

! And before anything else went on. SHING went the dagger, and it was about ½ an inch fron the throat of the healer. "Make a move like that once again, and I'll have your business rebuked." If one couldn't tell, Omio was pissed. "Whom have you been trained by? Perhaps I know of whom it is, and why you look to remove your best tool, your celibacy?" Probably that old Smyth once again. He always was a jerk. He kept himself poised, and quite tense. Whatever pain he would've normally felt, he was too angered to feel now. The fight-or-flight feeling was more than just there, he was emanating it.

[jada]

The healer went stiff when the knife flew past his neck. He turned around and retrieved it from where it stuck in the wall,"Stupid move, my good sir, because now you are defense less and I have leverage," He pointed the knife at Lyndi.

"If you make one move I can kill her or yourself, I can just as easily throw the knife and hit you, as I can take the knife and kill the fair maiden, and neither of us want that. but there will always be others for me."

"now I suggest you leave, and do not threaten me again or have your pick, I can kill you or her, either way I win."

"Omio!" Lyndi cried, as the healer grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out of bed and next to him. she was wearing a cloth wrap that fit her torso tightly to keep her wound from bleeding and she was wearing some trousers.

"Omio, help!"

[Omio]

He won't react fast enough. I know this type of person. Take it up, and quick. with that thought in mind, he sent a foot upwards - a rather fast and strong one - towards the head of the healer - one wouldn't make such a decision so fast. If he was lucky, the healer would be out like a light, but in the most likely scenario, the healer would drop the dagger, flinching in pain. Next up was to actually knock him out like a light. He had two hands, and a racing heartbeat, and he used quite that. A fist to the face of the healer now. He was aiming towards the temple. Any hit there, especially after his kick, would likely cause quite a bit of damage. He was aiming for as much damage as possible, and to knock out the healer. Anything else was auxillary.

((Kinda god-modding here. Sorry. But healer needs to go out like a light.))

[jada]

((OCC: You can play the healer too.))

Lyndi Shrieked as Omio leapt towards her and the healer. Luckily Omio knocked the healer out. Unlickily the healer fell to the ground still holding on to Lyndi so she fell to the ground with him and cried out in pain.

Tears streamed down her face,"Omio get me out of here." she sobbed. she shifted into a squril, because it made her lighter to carry.

[Omio]

Pick up. Carry. Head to safety. Location required. Determined - within City bounds - outside City would be expected.
He didn't bother talking - he moved over, grabbed the squirrel that was Lyndi, and picked her up, getting all of his stuff equiiped before moving on. He had to move out quick, but stay within town to add to the effect of hiding with ease. He then remembered about Lyndi. "We're safe, I'm just thinking." It's best if I stayed in town, because anyone that is going to get sent is going to go out of town. He moved to the town gates firstly, then off to the back areas, putting himself into the shadows, putting Lyndi on the ground nearby - it would be a better idea if she was able to actually do something. "Lyndi, if you can hear me, I need you back as your normal self. Time for your next lesson."

[jada]

Lyndi shifted back into her elven form. Tears were all down her face,"Oh Omio, I'm sorry. I'm not used to people. You are the only one I can trust. And I don't know how much I can do, My wound could break open with too much activity and that would slow us down severly. I don't want to risk that."

Lyndi pulled her knees up and hugged them as she sat on the ground, in shadows. She tried to stop crying. It wouldn't help her situation.

[Omio]

"Worry about being apologetic later. First, we need to start with the lesson. Notice that when I move while I'm hidden, I stay hidden? If you play around with how you move, you can create movement illusions so that it looks like you're nothing more than a cloud of dust, or leaves rustling. Okay, now that I've given you the knowledge needed, we need to get your paints dealt with." Omio reached for his pouch to pull out brown and black paints. "And be prepared to sit VERY patiently in some places. You'll need to learn this for later - because I've done millions worse."

[jada]

"Ok." Lyndi took in everything Omio advised. "I need help applying the paints though."

With Omio's help Lyndi got black and brown paint all overherself. She waited for Omio to put his own paint on. She sat patienly in the Shadows catching her breath and thinking about how to be stealthy. She had to keep in mind her earlier lessons too. Keep her footsteps silent, and be aware of her surroundings.

[Omio]

Smudge, smudge, dab, dab, smudge, dab, dab, smudge... it went on for a minute or two. Then they were finished. Now to get on with it all. "First, we need to hide here patiently, so that we can let the night fall and our trekking easier. Then I'll find who hired that person to act as a 'healer' and get this all sorted. Who knows? Raven might be there to help."

[jada]

Lyndi put her arms around Omio and hugged him close, but not too tight, because she didn't want to hurt Omio's bruise or her wound. "I don't know what I'd do without you Omio."

After the hug she sat down on the ground in the shadows to remain quiet and well hidden.

[Omio]

He embraced the hug with his own - an up-high variety. Making sure his arms weren't close to the wound. She spoke a quote that she had said before, and this time, he had something to reply with. "And if it weren't for you, knowing what I was like yesterday, I probably would've killed myself."

And time passed - the sun set, and it was time to move. "It's time to move."
