Nexus Heroes

Garian raised an eyebrow but shrugged it off as he put his boots back on and then looked at Suzu and noticed the forced smile, "What seems to be the problem?" He asked her, "And don't tell me nothing when it's something, always good to get something off your chest rather than it gather weight." It was then he saw the Eidolon appear and looked at her, "Well, I'll be damned." He said and whistled lightly.

[MiscChaos]

Suzu begins to spit out a line about her concern being trivial and not worth talking about, but she stops and sighs. That excuse sounds hollow even in her head, nevermind what it'd sound like outside. So, instead, she decides to go with the truth. "Just felt useless, alright? Rhialla had everyone Blessed so my Inspiration song would have been worthless, you guys where in here fighting so fascinating the enemy was a waste of time, and I was so damn bad with my arrows I hit Rhialla before I hit the enemy! I just don't like not being able to do anything, you know?"

[TCELESBHSUP]

Rhialla set her sword and wand in her cart... Then hugged Suzu. Tightly. She just held her, nuzzling her dear friend lightly as she held the human in a warm embrace. Not the best idea in the desert, but... She was showing affection and caring. "The effort is what counts, Suzu. You did your absolute best- I can't imagine how hard it would be to shoot a bow, let alone into a cave past other people..." She certainly couldn't do it. "I-I was in need of a lot more help than I should've... You've got nothing to feel bad about, okay?"

[That_One_Guy]

Garian smiled and put an hand on her shoulder, "Cheer up, lass. Everyone feels like they are useless at one point in there lives but you know what we do?" He then put a hand under her chin and raised her head up to look him in the eyes, "We never give up, we do what we must because it's all we can do, There will be times where you will feel helpless, but you mustn't give in to it, always fight on." He then looked at the Chameleon, "Now, lets see what we can do about this animal." He said as he began to skin it.

Garian manages to gather six rations from one of the Chameleons. Outside, it only gets hotter and hotter as the horizon begins to get enormously bright. Kas, who is still standing around outside, is even beginning to get hot, despite her resistances.

[Motoko]

Kasidra sighs softly, seeing the lizards fall she would head towards the cart picking up her scroll supplies she would then head into the cave, dusting her self off with an annoyed growl her polished scales feeling a bit itchy from the sand that, just as she had predicted, irritated them "''fucking sand....Not enough I have to go to another plane to see my sister I just have to love her enough to want to stick with her." she continues to mumble grumpily on and on as she gets to work crafting her scrolls figuring that people would want to rest here for a bit. Her tail thumps against the ground in a rhythmic fashion as she works.

[MiscChaos]

Suzu looks at both Rhialla and Garian and has to suppress a few tears. It sucks being useless, but it's nice to know someone cares enough to try to pick her up when she feels low. "Thanks, guys. Really, thanks." She mutters, trying to suppress her urge to tear up.

[That_One_Guy]

Garian takes the rations with a 'Huzzah!' and then eats one of them before going over to the others, "Alright, so I say that we set up camp here and rest for a bit until either the suns go down or we're fully rested for the journey, We should set up tents on either side of the cave so that we can have our individual privacies." He said and then looked at the group, "Now, who here brought tents?"

[TCELESBHSUP]

After having her meal and preparing some night tea (a cup went to both Suzu and Kasidra), Rhialla would run to her cart and lift her tent out. "Suzu, do you have a tent?" She asked softly. "You and Kasidra can share mine if you'd like... I can stay up and keep watch." She was a dutiful little Aasimar, certainly. Loyal to her friends, enough to detriment herself, really. Plus, she was worried that her tent would combust if she stayed in it!

[Goryokaku]

Kal eats one of her days rations then getting her Celebrilith to guard her she climbs back into the barrel to stay hydrated and goes to sleep trusting her Eidolon to wake her if there is any trouble. She then went to sleep she would rest till they headed out again.

[MiscChaos]

Suzu gratefully accepts the tea, though she doesn't know what kind it is. All she knows is Rhialla offered it to her and her friend would never steer her wrong. "Of course I brought a tent, silly! I'm a travelling bard, it'd be weird for me not to have one for those times I'm between towns!" She says, pulling hers out of her pack. It's one only meant for one person, but that's all she has to worry about when she's on the road.

[That_One_Guy]

Garian looked over at Suzu and smiled, "How about we trade tents? Since i'm the only guy here, it should be wise for me to take the one person tent and you have my medium sized, two person tent." He said to her, eating another piece of the chameleon he took.

[MiscChaos]

Suzu shakes her head. "No, no, it's fine. You're bigger and stuff so you might want the bigger tent. Besides, I'm used to this tent. I've spent a lot of time in it during my travels. It'd be like sleeping in a new bed: It might be bigger, but it's not as comfortable as your old one."

[TCELESBHSUP]

As Garian offered his trade, Rhialla would set up her own tent, carefully pitching it. She knew how to do it- she had the equipment for it as well, luckily enough. Came with it! She hummed a soft tune as she did, sounding much like some kind of hymn. She was a holy woman, after all. "I'd still be happy to let you stay in my tent if you wanted to, Suzu... I, umm... Went under some changes when I... I-interacted with Ifrit... I-it's nothing bad or anything, but I think it might cause problems with me staying in my own tent."

[Motoko]

Finishes up with her scroll of enfeeblement and nods to her sister "I could use some rest....All this spell casting is getting me tired. " She would move to set up the tent, getting ready to climb in the tent She looks to suzu and growls "I better not be woken up by blubbering Bard." she would say with a scowl, obviously returning as she disrobes in the tent.....course she didn't close it all the way....So if anyone cared to look they'd see her nude draconic body quite clearly hthe scales looking soft on her stomach area, hugging hre frame quite nicely making her look sleek as they go out the scales get a little bit harder looking but so very shiny with the barest hint of glitter ..

[That_One_Guy]

Garian shrugs, "Suit yourself" He said and headed over into one of the corners, setting up his tent and rolling the bedrolls out as well as the blanket, he took off his armor and weapon, laying them outside of the tent before laying down himself inside, going to a light sleep.

[MiscChaos]

Suzu glares at the woman as she retires into the tent. If Rhialla's sister had a problem with her personally, that'd be fine, but she seems to hate everyone for no reason whatsoever. Those kind of people have always gotten under her skin and it seems this one will be no different. Still, she has bigger problems than a bitch with a sour attitude. Like her friend, who seems to be worried about the change she mentioned. She says it isn't anything bad and she has no reason to disbelieve her, but her worry about it is still cause for worry herself. "But it can't be all good either if you sound anxious. But you'll be OK. You always seem to be." She sets up her tent and turns to Rhialla again. "Night! Don't run yourself ragged now." She says as she steps into her tent. A stray thought passes through her head that her friend might just do that. She begins to wonder if she needs to wake up early to switch out with her as she falls asleep.

[TCELESBHSUP]

"Thank you Suzu." Rhialla smiled, bowing to her friend. "Sleep well." She practically whispered this last part. Soon enough, she would head over to the entrance of the cave, sitting herself down and watching the canyon. She tried her best to stay out of sight, though her halo wasn't exactly helpful... It was very dim, but it was likely noticeable. She hoped it wasn't, if anything tried to pass by. Her wings ruffled, and she absently preened herself somewhat, straightening out her feathers as she watched and waited, sword and shield beside her.

[Taria]

As an hour goes by, Rhialla quickly realizes that outside only gets hotter and hotter, while it remains safe and cool in the cave in the shade, a total of three suns rises over the horizon. Their spiraling radiance spins through the sky, you can see a large mass moving in the distance, it looks like another chameleon, a bigger one. It's moving directly towards your little nook of a cave. Everyone else is asleep currently.

[TCELESBHSUP]

As soon as she spotted the chameleon, Rhialla would gasp, grabbing up her sword and shield. Running to each individual tent and sleeping barrel, she would open them up and try to shake each person awake. "Something's coming! It looks like a really big chameleon!" She cried out, firstly to Garian, then to Suzu, on to Kasidra and then Kal. Whose Eidolon was hopefully still around! She was terrified for the group, since it was a very large being! "M-maybe this was its home and those were its children!"

It was perfectly rational to assume that. After all, the chameleons they fought before may have been big... But this one was far bigger. The deal with the suns could wait. She could explain that later- and hopefully try to figure out a way to get everyone through the heat alive. It was... A difficult prospect, to say the least. With three suns hanging in the sky, she was worried that there were more, and night was non-existent in this plane. It wasn't out of the question.

This place was barren and unforgiving, but the Aasimar priestess was willing to push through. She just had to make sure everyone lived firstly.
