Kin smiles and nods, “Okay.” He mutters, smiling at Ember and sitting down. “I am sorry if I hurt you. Usually the operation is completely painless. I must have done something wrong. Unless I startled you. If so, I apologize.” He looks around. Seemingly, the forest would be thriving with light by the time night came. He smiles brightly as the found thought came back.
Kin looks back to Bane, “I trust you.” He murmurs.
Ember looked down at her feet and kicked the ground before she moved over to the fire and sat down wrapping her arms around her stomach, she didn't say much she felt very out of place here, in the wild without her usual surroundings. She heard birds chirping I the distance and sighed pulling her legs up to her chest and leaning her head against her knees and looked at the trees the surrounded the clearing, a ball forming in her stomach, fear what a strange feeling she had every right to fear what would happen to her if they were caught she could be killed along with her other comrades. "I- I'm not sure if I trust what is going on.. But I can sence you mean us no harm.. So I trust you. " she said simply not looking over at the hellhound, she felt a safer feeling while around the blue haired boy, kin, but wasn't sure how she felt about the wound she'd received from him.

Bane stretched, drawing his shoulders up and yawing. He hadn't stretched in forever, making this feel like the best thing on earth. A few joints popped and he grimaced. Such a disgusting sound. He looked over at Ember, regarding her body language. "You are safer with us than in there. Trust me." Bane realized he knew neither of the kids names. It would be difficult to refer to them nameless. So instead of hunting, he glanced at Kin and Ember. "Thank you. I am glad you trust me, but for our trust to go further, we should know each other's names. My name is Bane, yours?" He threw the umbra blade he had in hand, the blade dispersing into shadow. "Are you two hungry? I might be able to fetch fish. I hear a river nearby." The hound wanted to cover everyone's needs before they created a game plan.
Ember didn't look at the man she made a small sound Indicating that she had heard him, she noted the sound of his joints popping, she had especially good hearing so the sound wasn't pleasant for her either. She popped her head up at the question of her name and she thought for a moment "the.. Leader of, Obelisk, used to call me an ember.. I suppose you could call me that as well
(I just got to school so this one is super short sorry!)
(Its ok! ^^ i just woke up- XD)
Kin didn’t seem to hear Bane at first, too focused on running his fingers over the grass. He didn’t even seem to notice Banes joints popping. He blinks and looks up. “Oh. Kin.” He smiles, “And yes. I will follow you.” He looks to Ember. “Are you alright?”
(I just woke up about 3 hours ago lol)
Ember looked over at kin and nodded her head slightly "yes.. I'm okay I'm just tired- I had just got finished testing when you guys showed up.. They give me little bead like things to help me sleep, you guys showed up after they had given me them. " she said looking at the fire her knees face and toes were burning up but the rest of her body was cold and tingling, but she was mesmerized by the flames she'd never seen fire before she didn't even remember what it was called she just liked it.
(Guess who’s back at school. Unfortunately, it’s me. So my replies will be sparse throughout the day until I get home)
(Thats ok! ^^)
Bane smiled at the two. "Kin and Ember. Wonderful names." He called these two children, when in reality, they were young adult who could fend for themselves. He listened into Kin and Ember's conversation, his eyes reflecting the fire. Beads? Like medicine? Bane didn't know much about medicine, but being given things to sleep couldn't be good. "You two should get some rest. I'll go fetch some food." Bane stood, stilling as he listened to his surroundings. There was a running river with deer moving along the bank. Good enough for him. "I'll be back." He shifted into his wolf form and ran into the forest.
Kin watches as Bane runs into the forest, then looks to Ember. “The people used to give me the same thing.” He murmurs, “But I started having some weird allergic reaction to it, so they stopped. Though I did lose much sleep…” He leans against a tree, yawning. He then offers for Ember to sit with him. “I have natural body heat. So you should be warm.”
Ember stalled for a moment before moving over to where kin had sat down and leaned against the tree with him, they've giveing me that stuff my whole life, the leader of Obelisk found me when I was just a few months old.. My mother had been killed so he took me in… They all raised me-" she went quiet for a moment before pulling her legs back up to her chest "it wasn't true.. Was it? It was all a lie, a trick." She looked at her feet which felt a little warmer but the deep from the grass was making them cold and numb.
Kin nods. “Yes…unfortunately…” He stares at the grass, tracing his finger along the cool green blades. “They…didn’t treat me as well as they did you though…” He mutters, tracing the petals of a wild flower.
Embers face went red and she looked away, it was true that she was treated better than most of the other test subject but she still got tested on she was still lied to just like all the other's, the nice room she had was just something they gave her to make her feel loved and accepted. But she wasn't it was just a ruse ruse so she would help them.
Kin sighs, “My apologies if that seemed insensitive…I didn’t mean it that way…” He looks at her, “We’ve all been through Hades and back. I understand what you could have went through.”
Ember shrugged reached to touch a small purple flower that hadn't wilted yet, she didn't pick it but she knocked some dew off of it, " I like it out here.. It's cold, and it smells nice, the smells of Obelisk always burned my nose.. I couldn't ever smell the others that were there.. How did you guys know I was there? "
Kin smiles, “I can sense when other living beings are around me. And I’ve walked through the hall they kept you in a few times.” He carefully uproots a flower, planting it somewhere else and muttering, “There we are…better soil is here. Not there, silly.” He hums softly, looking back to Ember. It’s my kinds purpose to help all living beings in need. Especially as a healer. It’s my duty to help.”
Ember nodded and watched as he moved the flower, "I wish I could do something like that, I don't really know what I can do they never told me because it scared them, all I know is that I can shift into a wolf in other words I'm a 'wear wolf' but I've only been able to change once when I was five." She looked up at him and smiled slightly at his hair she liked the shiny blue "I like your hair.. " she said softly
Kin smiles softly. “Really? Thank you. It used to be brighter…but being indoors had dulled my skin and hair. I think they noticed that too.” He ruffles his hair, chuckling. “Maybe it will brighten up soon. I hope anyways.” He looks to Ember. “Werewolf you say? I had friends like that. They were amazing. So sweet.” He looks back at his new flower friend. “As for them, I’ve always knew how to help nature. I’ve actually helped growing trees before. It was amazing. They seemed so thankful once I moved them.”
Large footsteps made their way to the group, Bane appearing from the underbrush as he dragged a buck into the clearing. Clearly, this was the hounds idea of food, but they had no other choice. He brought it closer to the fire, pushing his nose into its hide. It was like he was sending it off. The hound shook himself off, shifting back to his humaniod form. "I tried my best food wise. I'm not sure if either of you like deer… or even meat." Bane sat down in his spot, moving his hand. A dagger formed out of shadow, and he stared at the deer. The hound started on separating the hide from the flesh. This would keep Bane busy for awhile.
Kin smiles, then mutters something in his mix of languages. He then stands, walking to a bush and coming back with berries. Blackberries. “Some fruit as well.” He sets them down on a large leaf, humming softly to himself. “This is actually a normal meal in my village.” He chuckles, “I’ll also go get some water. I know how to filter it.” He looks to Ember, smiling.
"What's it like.. You lived out in the world.. Is it safe here? Are we in danger? " she asked as she looked up at him her eyes shining slightly. She was still scared of what was out here with her she wanted to go home but she didn't even have a home to go too all the had was a prison cell.
Kin nods. “We’re safe. Don’t worry.” He smiles, “You are alright. If anything happens, I’ll protect you. But even then, there’s a slim chance of any danger other then those…people.”
"But you couldn't fight the guards before.. " she said softly before looking away "I don't mean to be offensive I just.. Worry, I don't want to go to sleep because if they come for us, I will not wake. "
Kin sighs. “Well…I understand that…but I am a fast runner. So I’ll pick you up and bolt.” He smiles. “Anything to keep you safe.”
"But why.. I've done nothing to make you want to trust me.. You don't even know me. " she said softly looking into his eyes searching for some sort of proof that he was lying but he seemed honest at least as far as she could tell.
