Nexus Heroes

[TCELESBHSUP]

"Only two people?" Rhialla frowned slightly. That was an issue, considering there was five humanoids in need of protection. And her donkey. Couldn't forget it... And it was quite suspicious how she emphasised the 'could' in what she'd said. "... Is there a catch to this?" It wasn't in her nature to be suspicious normally, but... She had to toughen up. She was in the Outer Planes, or so she assumed, and perhaps Janeei was an outsider of some kind. She certainly held the regality of a being of flame, and was immune to the heat.

Surely there had to be something.

[MiscChaos]

Suzu's been racking her brain about the new girl in the cave, her ability to survive effortlessly in an environment that the higher temperature Rhialla couldn't stand for long seeming horribly suspicious, but she can't think of anything related to Janeei. Well, if she can't get information from herself, the best source of information would be the person themselves. Besides, she's beyond fed up with how the newcomer has been treating her friend. Stepping into conversation, Suzu introduces herself, still wary of the woman. "So, where did you come from and how badly did you mess up to end up here?" She says, making the question sound like a joke.

[Motoko]

Kasidra studies the woman curiously, she had the feeling she was hiding something. She would no to her sister before returning her attention back to janeei giving her another glance before smiling again. "I beilive my sister is right to ask about the catch, but I myself am more interested in knowing what you will gain."

[That_One_Guy]

Garian woke up with a soft yawn and exited his tent, only carrying his sword and not his armor when he saw the new woman and smiled, "Well, hello ma'am, if I knew we were going to get a guest, I'd have made myself more presentable." He chuckled, running a hand through his hair. "Guessing you're not affected by the fire storms or whatever they are, right?"

[Taria]

"I help you out and you help me." Janeei states simply. She glances outside and notices the regular sun filling the sky. "But it seems the danger has passed for now."

[MiscChaos]

Suzu raises an eyebrow as the woman completely ignores both her question and Garian exiting his tent without armor. Maybe she's acting haughty because she's an idiot? No, no, it's bad to transfer one's grudges and dislikes into someone's personality. Unless it turns out to be right. ...she's veering off course here. Grabbing her harp, Suzu plays a mellow, slow tune meant to lighten the atmosphere a bit which usually makes it easier to talk to someone. "So, I've realized we know almost nothing about you or what you can do to help us. If it pleases you, I'd like to fix that, maybe get to know each other a bit better." She says as she plays, a friendly smile on her face.

[TCELESBHSUP]

Help? She needed help? Why would such a noble and powerful figure need help from such a lowly person as her-

Rhialla quickly shook her head. What was this? Did the Ifrit change something in her mind? Her cheeks were still pretty red.She was rather uncomfortable with how close she seemed to remain... But couldn't find it within herself to actually raise any objection. Such an awkward situation... "Help...?"

[Motoko]

Kasidra would shrug "It seems like it did indeed pass." She nodded and looked outside of the cave her wings giving a stretch beneath her robes. She found this woman interesting to say the least. Everything from her hair to her attitude intriqued her. She also noticed her sisters reaction her scaley hands rubbing the soft curve of her chin "I think we would be wasting our time standing around and talking" She would wink to her sister next " would you like to tag along while we talk 'my lady?'"

[Taria]

Janeei places her hand on her chest an states regally, "I am Janeei Tel Faveila, genie and exorcist extraordinaire. I travel across the elemental planes to purge dangerous imbalances. That's all there is to know, really." She turns her head toward Rhialla as she quietly squeaks out her question and leans in closer, the two women's faces in close proximity. "You wish to be of help to me?"

[TCELESBHSUP]

As Janeei leaned in, Rhialla leaned back, turning a deeper shade of red. One could swear she herself was made of fire, with how brilliantly her cheeks glowed. Too close. Far too close for comfort. She could feel her heart beating rapidly, eyes locked on Janeei's. "U-umm... I was... Wondering what you needed help with... You're a Janni, yes? That wound explain... Quite a bit." Indeed- if she was a Janni, then that would make quite a lot of sense as to her feelings of wanting to 'serve the flame'. After all... She travelled across all of the elemental planes, apparently, and an Efreet was bound to planes of fire.

[MiscChaos]

Suzu's eyebrow raises again as the woman states her name and purpose. A genie, huh? Those are definite rarities since she doesn't remember coming into contact with many, if any at all, during her travels. She's leaning more towards none though cause a genie seems to be something to remember. Everything she knows about them would be secondhand knowledge then. As much as she dislikes secondhand, preferring to get information from the source if at all possible since it sticks in her head better, it's all she's got to go on, no matter how fuzzy it is. Going off of her name, she's guessing Janeei is a Janni-type genie, experienced in all elements but expert in none. It's good information to know.

But something comes first. Sighing and absentmindedly continuing her tune, Suzu says, "While it's pleasant to meet you, Janeei, can I ask that you get out of my friend's personal space? She looks kinda uncomfortable with you that close."

[Motoko]

Kasidra looks thoughtful as Janeei formally introduces herself, still believing they were best served to get going while the going is good. She let's it slide for now as Sonya peeked out from under Kasidra's hood. Kasidra would smile to her giving a soft kiss to her beak. A genie could certainly be a useful traveling companion to say the least....And with the effect she Had on Rhi....Why that just made her ever more interesting. She would make a fine tool.... "I'm curious about what you need help with as well Janeei. Maybe we could, in fact, help you while you help us...."

[Taria]

Janeei stands up straight and gives Suzu a dirty look before she is promptly distracted by Kasidra's request. "That could be agreeable, so long as I don't have to go too far out of my own way."

[Motoko]

Kasidra nodded softly, a puff of smoke drifting towards janeei from between her soft lips as she blows the genie a kiss "I shouldn't think that we'd carry you too far off. Now. What can we help YOU with?"

[TCELESBHSUP]

A relieved sigh escaped Rhialla as her personal space was finally restored to her. She shot a thankful glance and a smile towards Suzu- too meek to do anything herself when it came to Janeei, it seemed. The woman just exuded regality and dominance! Who wouldn't feel this way? The answer was literally everyone else in the cave. Maybe. She didn't know how everyone else felt personally. The Aasimar just knew that she was feeling that way.

[Taria]

Janeei purses her lips thoughfully as she addresses Kasidra. "Just some investigation, shouldn't be too major."

[Motoko]

Kasidra nods though she frowns as she does so "Well. An investigation?" she would ask her tail swaying hypnoticly behind her "I'm afraid that most likely isn't enough information..." she would comment looking thoughtfully "Maybe a bit more info? I'm sure my sister would -love- to help."

[TCELESBHSUP]

Apparently, Kasidra was volunteering her for work, whether Rhialla liked it or not. A slow sigh escaped her at this. Why was she a bargaining chip? Her eyes drifted over to Suzu- she was stuck between her sister, who it was very hard to disagree with, and a person she absolutely couldn't. She needed help- needed to toughen up some. Maybe learn why she couldn't disobey this woman at present. That'd be nice.

[MiscChaos]

Suzu smiles at Rhialla as if to say "You're welcome" before turning back to the conversation in progress, not intimidated by the genie's glare. Immediately, she wants to object to Rhialla's sister volunteering her friend without her permission, but she squashes that. If Janeei wanders planes searching out imbalances, then it's probably something they need to worry about since, to her knowledge, an imbalance is what lead them here in the first place with the creepy versions of the elementals. If they can figure out this imbalance issue, then maybe they can get the normal versions back. Or they killed them completely and utterly and she'll never see Feather again. One of the two. And since she's seemed to piss the genie off, it's probably best to just listen for now and take in as much info as possible. Well, that and intervene for her friend's sake if need be. Such as right now. So she moves herself closer to the conversation to show Rhialla that she's there if her friend needs her and gives her another smile in support.

[Taria]

Janeei crosses her arms and gives a grunt of indignation at Kasidra's pressure for information. "Look, either you agree to come with me and help, or I do not show you the way out of here. I don't have time to waste answering all of your nagging questions."
