a begining (omio)

[jada]

"I can easily kill, I would prefer not to. I could just as eaily turned into a dragon and stepped on all of them with ease. Killing is an easy task for me. I don't need help surviveing, I need help finding a place to fit in."

Lyndi had no problem takeing care of herself. After all she has lived years on her own, avioding other people and killing those that would kill her first. She was very well aware of how to take care of herself. she only needed help with one thing. it was her only desire. She wanted to fit in, to regain friends and family. To care about someone so much she would do anything for them. she wanted to have emotions again. Fear, Anger and unhappiness were almost her only emotions at this point in her life. she would find a way to change that.

[Omio]

"Fitting in... has always been something I haven't been good at in human society. Likely because it's so corrupt. I think it better if you stayed out in the wild - you've made me as a friend that way, you've befriended a dragon, too. Anything else that isn't vile is more than likely to befriend you. With your talents, you can possibly..."
an idea hit him. He was rambling anyways.
"Oh, I do go on sometimes... But nonetheless, Maybe a flight into town later on, or however close you want to risk, would be a good idea - I've been running low on supplies for a while, and if I keep my supply consumption rate up where it's at, I won't be able to turn invisible again that easily. There's no vanishing unless you have paint as cover."
Oh, crap. I just let out one of my secrets.

[jada]

Lyndi smiled at him, "Paint huh?"

"Maybe tommorrow we can take a run into town, but right now, I think I want a bite to eat." She pulled a small knife out from a thin belt she wore. She cut into the gaot and eat some meat to see if it was cook enough yet. It was done, and it was good.

"So are you going to tell me anymore secrets?"

[Omio]

"Let's see. Paints, position, clothing, lack of movement..." He grabbed his Kris-length dagger and chopped a section off, peeling off the skin. "...Sight-blocking, Breathing monitor, Silence... There's more, but I can't remember what they're all called." He podded the section into his mouth, using his dagger as like a stick and the meat almost like a shishkabob. "...If we didn't get rudely interrupted, I would've made this better. Oh well, gotta do what's needed." He finished the chunk he cut out and cut out another one. He must've been pretty damn , for he was getting to about now 400 grams of goat. (almost a pound.) "I'm going to hate myself for this tomorrow, but I just have to indulge this time."

[jada]

Lyndi laugh. Hard. A big smile crossed her face. "Eating a pound. That's SOOOO much." She has eatin way more, depending on which animal she takes the form of she gets their apitite.

"I think I would like to learn how to do some of your tricks. Tommorrow, I think we will go to town, and maybe you can teach me some of what you know."

[Omio]

"This? not the most I've eaten, just so you know. I've eaten like... 2½ lbs. one time - but that was because I had to hide for a full day without anything."
She changed the topic herself. Convenient.
"It's more of knowledge than anything - applying it isn't much of a problem. Except running - that one talkes a long time to perfect. The skills are stupidly simple. - Although if you change into a snake, you won't have to worry about it - just remember to know when and when not to move."

[jada]

"But what if I want to stay in my elven shape? With the skills you can teach me, I may never have to shift again. It would be very useful for me. I could go places and not have to worry about defense by animal. I'm a strong girl don't get me wrong, I can certainly defend myself but, your skills would be pretty nice to have." She smiled at him. she cut out at least a pound of meat and cut it up. Eating it rather quickly. That was only the start of her meal. But she slowed down eating after the first pound. in totally she ate about 3 pounds enough to hold her stomach.

"Sorry I eat a lot. But I use a lot of energy shifting and running around all the time."

[Omio]

"Ah." That would explain why she doesn't want to use shape-shifting. The pause tole he was thinking, kinda. "Well, sleep is one thing that's needed through the way, and I could use a bit of that. 've been tossin' and turnin' quite a bit lately. Nyeh, well - in any case, Imma go get make-shift beds setup. Would you mind grabbing wood for the fire, and maybe a stone? And, while you do so, watch how you walk, and play with your footsteps. Be aware with what makes sounds and what doesn't.
Also, pay attention to what you're going to step on - a small twig is going to hurt the illusion of silence, so avoid those."
There was the first lesson of the day. Let's hope Lyndi uses it, yes?

[jada]

Lyndi knew how to be silent in her animal forms butin her elven form you would think she would be graceful, but she was a bit clumsy and loud. Although with Omio's lesson she paid attention to her steps. She stalked slowly, and it took all of her attention to not make noise. of course she was new at it in her elven form so she did make quite a bit of noise but she knew how it was done, and that is what matters, from there she could figure it out. Slowly she was able to gain speed while stalking around in the woods. She found some wood and a stone, and made her way back to camp. She dance around light on her toes and then stomped testing out how soft and loud noises were, and could be made. Her senses were sharp wich aloud her to learn quickly. She was getting better at stalking now. It was a neat little trick.

[Omio]

Meanwhile, at the camp, Omio as looking for anything - leaves, large patches of grass... Anything. Then he realized he had a couple of sheets of cloth - almost meant for this - however, under that cloth should be a bit soft. He found loads of soft shrubs, leaves and such to make a flat, sofe bedding for the cloth - there was a bump at one end of the beds to serves as a bit of a pillow - he kept ergonomics in mind - and the lumps here and there made up for the shape pf the body - allowing the spine to stay straight, or even bend backwards to loosen the feects of gravity. After setting up the beds, he waited...
and waited quite a while before he looked around again - Lyndi was there - it seems as if she learned the lesson rather well. "Good to... not hear." He smiled at irony. "You've learned how to walk quietly. Tomorrow, I'll demostrate the usage of paints - including removal of paint.

[jada]

Lyndi laughed. Omio was a silly fellow. She shifted into a Black panther for the night. So she would be more comfortable in the forest, and to be ready incase a preditor stumbles across their camp. She walked over to Omio's bed and curled up next to it. She liked her new friend.

[Omio]

A gigantic cat you know is actually a girl... This is quite a weird situaton you're gotten yourself into, Omio.
I know. and the purr is nice, too.
You're letting your luck get the best of you.
We have already sent thieves away once - doing it again wouldn't be hard.
In your sleep?
Pfft, the other group was easy. just a walk, a quick pop of a couple of browns, and a draw of the dagger - then go to hold-up. Nothing to it.
Nothing in your mind.
Exactly.
His thoughts eased, and he sound himself falling asleep to the hypnotizing purr of Lyndi as she began to sleep.

=========================
Fast Forward into the next morning
=========================

Omio's eyes opened first - if Lyndi was laying on him, it'd be hard to slip out un-noticed. Especially with the made-to-be-loud-but-comfy bed. He litfed a head slightly, shufled himself out - as quietly as possible - which was considerably quiet, laid her head down gently, and then got up to stand - once he stood, birds began to fly away, and the flapping of wings ruined the silence. Dammit! I was hoping Lyndi would sleep a bit more peacefully. If what she says is true, she'll need all the sleep she can get.

[jada]

Lyndi yawned, but it came out as a small roar, since she was in her panther form. She shifted and stayed lying on the ground except she streched out now that Omio had gotten up. She was still sleepy but could handle wakeing up for the moment.

"How did," her sencence was interrupted by a yawn and then a small giggle, "did you sleep last night?"

[Omio]

"I don't even remember - it must've been good though." He held his legs straight as he bent forward to touch his toes. he was only an inch away. "Just morning stratches, to make sure that I'm ready for action." He changed from that to the sholders - he pulled one arm over and held it close as he heard a light "crunch" from that sholder. It didn't hurt or anything. Next arm... again, with a "crunch". He was done stratching, and he sighed. "I'm good for a while. Whenever you're ready, we can head for town. I'll wager you haven't had food from there in a while." He let out a nicely sized smirk.

((I'm basically going to be online for like... ever, so don't worry about taking a while.))

[jada]

"You'd be right Omio, I haven't eatin in town for a long time, let along go into one. I haven't seen people in a long time. I like the change though."

She stood up and streched a little too. Nothing too complicated, just outstreched her arms. She gave another big yawn and then shook her head to try to wake herself up completly.

"I won't be shapeshifteing today. I want to go into town being myself. I'm excited. Let's go." she said with her energy comming into her full blast. she was as hyper as a squirl. Lyndi grabbed Omio's hand and pulled him off through the woods towards town.
