Leaving The Confines of Safety

More news comes in to confirm the fact that Yuki wasn’t gay; perhaps a bit weak at picking up women, but not gay. This preconception and the fact of its repeated reference was due to the fact that this would be taking place before Yuki’s transformation in the form where he had long flowing and silky hair along with a face that seemed as if he exfoliated several times a week. It wouldn’t be until later, when Yuki donned the more rugged short haired look that all doubt would be erased henceforth and forever more. Still, Jyn hadn’t pegged Yuki to be one to give up on something he wanted. There was something wolfish about the male that made Jyn think that he would continue to try to get something even if a woman told him he couldn’t have it. But, with her words, Jyn was able to see that this didn’t seem to be the case and that she seemed to be able to keep the wolf at bay.

As she offers her hand to Jyn, he casually reaches out and shakes it while saying, “nah, nothing like that. But as your big brother, I’ve got to keep an eye on such things.” Deciding that it would probably be best if they were to not be in a bed room, he comments while releasing her hand, “but it’s not good to be cooped up in the house all day. You’ll need sunlight… because it’s good… let’s go outside.” With that, he would attempt to lead the way to her door and out of her room.

276 / 6191

As he takes her offered hand and begins to shake it she frowns faintly at the gesture as she looks up at him while listening as he begins to speak. She gives a faint nod to his comment and as he begins to release her hand she releases her grasp on his since it seemed he just wished to shake hands. Slowly she shifts her gaze from him and glances around as he begins to speak up about not being cooped up and perhaps getting out of the house to get some sunlight since it was good for her. " Awww... " She murmurs softly as she watches Jyn as he begins to move for the door. Drawing upon Yuki's physical speed, Lunara moves across the room and comes up behind Jyn and slips her arms around him, hugging him from behind as she nuzzles into his back. Though she knew she could draw upon Yuki's physical strength to hold Jyn she restrains herself from using anything beyond an average amount of strength as she holds onto Jyn. " But outside can be so hot big brother... Inside we are out of the sun and... " She pauses mid sentence for a brief moment before coming up with an idea that puts a grin on her face, " What about some place where we could go swimming? "

EXP: 233

Jyn finds that his movements are hindered by the fact that she clings onto him; in his freezing, his teeth clench and it’s as if his body momentarily becomes stone having been captured by her small little arms. Dang the power of cute and tiny. He pauses in that moment with a small ‘tsk’ knowing that if she let him walk out, then things would have been too easy. In his stopping, his head shifts down, looking over his right shoulder to look at the girl who was holding onto him and giving excuses to stay inside. With a slight sigh, Jyn begins to wonder his next move before she seems to come up with something herself. On hearing that she was up for the concept of swimming, his eyes widen and he smiles, “ah, that’s right. I think I know of a place where you can go swimming.” Since he hadn’t taken a bath or anything yet, he figured this could substitute, in a way, for a bath. He turns around while in the girl’s grasp and pats her on the head, “I’ll grab some towels. You get ready and meet me downstairs and then we can head to the watering hole… sound good?”

216 / 6407

Holding onto Jyn after the question, Lunara keeps her gaze up as she waits for a response from him hoping he would take the bait and accept the idea of going swimming. As he begins to speak she listens to him, resting her head on his back as she listens to him accept the offer to go swimming and even know a place where they can go swimming. When he begins to turn in her arms she lifts her head from his back and looks up at his face as he turns to face her, smiling up at him as he pats her on the head. She gives a faint nod as he begins to speak, her grip on him loosening, " Yay. " She exclaims as she lets her arms fall from Jyn, " Alright big brother. Do you want me to stay in here or head down stairs when I am finished getting ready? " She asks as she tilts her head to the side faintly while smiling up at him, " You are going swimming with me right big brother? I don't want to be in the water alone, I might get attacked by a sea monster or something. " She ends with a soft whimper as she bites her bottom lip.

EX: 215

The question reaches his ears on the way out of the room since he had the freedom of being released by the young lady. “Head downstairs,” he would inform her of where she should be after getting ready, on his way out. In walking out of the room and partially down the hallway of the west wing, he assures her, “I’ll be sure to take you to a place that doesn’t have sea monsters… and stuff." His voice trails with the distance that grows, but still echos in the hallway with enough volume to reach her ears, "...but I’ll swim too.” It was with a shrug that he added the last part since he had already made up in his mind the fact that he would be taking to the waters as well. Still, when thinking about her, he chuckles lightly to himself and shakes his head thinking to himself about how he would have to get used to Lunara. At first, he was of the opinion just by looking at her that she was timid and shy, but he was quickly learning that did not seem to be the case. She was much braver than he had originally given her credit for.

209 / 6616

...A part of him wondered if she had really taken a liking to him while another part wondered if it was just a young girl’s fickle heart. He figured it would do more bad than good if he were to mess with her this early on in things and he had already pledged to protect her; the last thing he needed was for him to tread too loosely and end up making a mistake that he regretted. Aside from that, a part of him wanted to see how she interacted in public with others, but that would have to wait until Dravec, Yuki, Eri and others came back, or until they went out into a populated area.

During this time, Jyn made his way to his room where he gathered two towels from the closet. He would leave his armor and weapons at home as he didn’t feel as if he needed to bring them with him just to swim. If things were to get bad, he had his fists or could generate swords from light if needed. After gathering his things, with the two towels draped around his neck, he makes his way down stairs and in front of the front door where he would then either wait on or meet Lunara.

215 / 6831

Slowly she releases her bottom lip as she watches Jyn head for the exit to her room. As he speaks up and tells her where to meet him at she gives a faint nod and as he leaves the room she keeps her attention set on the door for a few moments until she hears him begin to answer her. As he answers her she smiles as she moves over to the door and begins to push it shut. Once she has the door shut she pauses for a moment as she glances around the room. Thinking for a moment on what she needed to do, Lunara nodded faintly and moved over to the closet before she begins to go through the cloths once again in search of something to wear to swim in, though if she had it her way she wouldn't wear anything while swimming. Rummaging through the cloths she comes across a few garments she is looking for and glances between them before picking out the skimpy two piece. With her swim cloths picked out she begins to change into them, putting her shirt and the mini skirt back on before leaving the room. Making her way from her room she heads down the hall before making her way to the front door as she shifts her gaze, turning it to Jyn and smiling at him, " Are you ready big brother? " She asks as she looks at Jyn.

EXP: 244

“Yup yup,” Jyn would nod on her approach before turning and motioning to the door. His right hand lifts up and his palm is placed on the front door of the mansion’s entrance and with a push forwards, he opens the door allowing the sunlight from the outside to bask into the building’s interior, illuminating the checkered tiles of the grand ballroom’s front end. He would hold the door open for her and then make his way outside of the mansion.

From there, he would proceed in leading the way to the water hole. All and all it wasn’t too far away; it was a simple field and forest walk of about two miles to get to the place that Jyn had in mind. When they arrive to the place, it is a small pond in the center of a small grove. Trees surrounded the area on all sides, but sunlight shone down into the small body of water which was about as large as a large swimming pool. After reaching the place, Jyn finds a large rock to walk over to and sit the towels on. There was the sound of wild life around them, but in sensing around the area, Jyn didn’t feel any large presences in the area other than themselves.

224 / 6855

As Jyn speaks, answering her question, Lunara gives a faint nod, " Good. " She says with a playful smile as she follows after Jyn once she had made her way down the stairs. With the light coming through the door she squints her eyes as she advances to the door before moving through it. Stepping outside she glances around for a moment, surveying the area around the mansion before turning her attention back to Jyn as she moves up next to him and follows at his side as he leads the way to where they can go swim. Falling silent on the trip, Lunara remains close to Jyn as she slowly shifts her gaze, taking in the sights as she moves through the forest following at Jyn's side. As they come into the grove with the pond she glances around before turning her attention to the body of water and shifts her gaze over it for a moment before turning her gaze to Jyn as he moves over to a large rock and puts there towels on it. " Are you sure its safe big brother? " She asks Jyn as she turns her gaze from him, putting on a demeanor of fear as she glances around the forest for a brief moment before turning her gaze back to Jyn.

EXP: 226

After placing down the towels, Jyn would be in the process of pulling his shirt off when the question came to him about if the place was safe. He thought for a moment about creating a golem of light and defeating it, but he didn’t know if he would be able to animate it properly; the only spells he knew that did that belonged to his other personas and they generally just gave the appearance of either Battousai or Jyneil, two people who were probably not the best social matches for Lunara. Tossing his shirt onto the rock and looking to the waters, he nods, “don’t worry about it. I have the unique ability to be able to sense around my surroundings. I can feel everything that’s moving in the forest around us…” Of course he exaggerated his abilities just a little bit, but it was close enough for him. He would continue, “I’ll make sure nothing happens to you, don’t worry; it’s what I promised you after all.” With that, he would pull off the cargo bottoms that he was wearing so that he would basically be in his boxers, much like when they had originally met. With that, he would walk towards the water’s edge.

226 / 7081

As he begins to take his shirt off she keeps her gaze set on him, her gaze shifting over his upper body as she listens to him as he begins to explains something he is capable of doing, something that sounded interesting and she thought she could do because it was something Yuki is capable of doing. " I see. " She murmurs lightly with a faint nod. Turning her gaze from him she looks to the water as she begins to advance towards it as she listens to him as he continues speaking. " I know you wont let anything happen to me big brother and for that ill take care of you. " She says with a smile as she turns her gaze back to Jyn as he removes his pants. Again her gaze shifts over his form as he removes his pants revealing he had only his boxers on. Looking at his form she smiles faintly as she shifts her gaze over his form, " How is the water? " She asks him as she begins to undress, removing her top and mini skirt before setting them aside. If Jyn had not moved into the water yet, Lunara would get a playful grin on her face as she would move up to him and reach out and attempt to push him into the water.

EXP: 227

Jyn’s gaze shifts around to the young lady as she approaches from the side in her two-piece. He teases her slightly in a murmuring tone saying, “little girls should wear blue one-pieces.” An addition to that would be that they wear bloomer’s beneath, but that would be overkill. Of course, he would be referring to the stable loli branding of school uniforms, though the phenomena wouldn’t actually be a pop culture reference in this new world. Not even attempting to rebuild the fourth wall that had crumbled, he feels something on his body as he his pushed towards the water. A grin comes to his face as he falls in slow motion, speaking, “oh no, I am falling…” Swiftly he clings onto her who had pushed him and pulls her into the shallow waters with him. There is a light splashing noise that breaks the hushed forest audible ambiance. After the splash, Jyn would compose himself to see how things had turned out. In an area where the waters would be around waist height, Jyn would be sitting up with the waters coming to about his shoulders and neck area after attempting to pull the young and tender Lunara in with him to teach her a lesson.

231 / 7312

Moving up to Jyn she pushed him in an attempt to push him into the water though as he begins to go down he manages to take hold of her causing her to gasp out in surprise before letting out a squeal as she is pulled from where she had been standing and into the water with Jyn. When she had pushed Jyn she had not thought he would grab her and pull her into the water but he had done it to her surprise and now she rest in the water with him, though she had taken hold of him as they began to fall and landed in his lap after falling into the water with him. Sitting in his lap she lets out a light whimper as she lifts her gaze to look up at Jyn as a sad pouty look begins to take form on her visage as she looks up at him, " That wasn't nice big brother... " She says as she looks up at him, whimpering lightly as she brings a hand up and places it on his chest, " I could have drowned or you could have gotten hurt... " She pauses for a moment as she shifts her gaze over his chest, " Are you hurt big brother? " she asks as she begins to move her hand down his chest, down towards his stomach as she seeks to see if he has any injuries.

EXP: 243

“Funny thing for you to say, troublemaker,” Jyn would counter tease in a manner at the pot who was calling the kettle black. Brimming with confidence he assures, “you couldn’t drown in this amount of water, and it’ll take much more than that to hurt me.” As her hand checks along his stomach, his hands come to rest at her waist. He pauses for a moment as he feels her lithe form and gets a good grip before grinning, “enjoy your trip!” With that, he leans back and basically tosses Lunara into the air behind him just a couple feet above the water’s surface so that she should make a splash to his rear. If successful, his back would fall into the waters and he would be momentarily submerged before twisting under water and coming back up while rocking his head back. His hands would rise up and pull his drenched hair from his face before a grinning visage would be looking towards the area where she should have entered the water. If all went such as that, the remark upon his smirking lips would be closer to the point of, “now that was actually not nice” in a playful manner.

218 / 7530

As he makes the comment she smirks playfully, nodding as he informs her that she couldn't drown in the water which she knew but wanted to tease him more. Moving her hand along his stomach she slowly runs the tips of her fingers along his skin, though she had begun her search for injuries on his form he had conformed that falling for such a short distance wouldn't injure him and with such she begins to move her hand down towards his boxers. Before she can move her hand onto the front of his boxers he makes the comment which causes her to pause for a brief moment before she is launched into the air behind him. As she is launched into the air she lets out a cry as she flys a few feet behind Jyn before falling into the water. Falling into the water she goes completely under the water and shifts around as she moves her arms, at first panicking at what had happened before she begins to regain her composure and shift her attention towards Jyn as she slowly lifts from the water and looks over at him and frowns, " That was mean big brother. " She says as she launches some water at Jyn in retaliation.

EXP: 222

In seeing her rise, Jyn would stand up in a victorious manner with his fists on his waists and his head rocked back as he would laugh heartily, “you are one hundred years too early to escape the big brother big toss of the big lake!” He would lower his gaze to her with a gleam in his eyes and pedophilic hands making odd motions as if to grope her in a non verbal threat that she was about to get tossed yet again. It was then that the water she splashes at him hits him. Not expecting it, he complains, “ew gross, my mouth was open and everything…” With it, he would have a good taste of the pond’s composition. “Now for the counter attack!” he would playfully retort while moving his hands to his stomach. He would gather ki at his core and then push out with a Strong exert that would send a small wave about a couple of feet in height towards her. It would be in a “look at me, no hands” type manner that he would perform this counter attack at her, but within it, he would find himself enjoying himself a bit.

207 / 7737

When she hears the comment from Jyn about the water getting into his mouth she couldn't help but to begin giggling at what he had said, a evil grin taking form on her face though as he brings up a counter attack the grin fades from here face and is replaced by a frown as she watches him. With her gaze still set upon him she watches him carefully, expecting him to launch water at her much like she had done to him or perhaps come after her and dunk her under the water. Though she had been expecting the attack what type of attack he preformed caught her off guard. " Ahhh! " she exclaims as the wave of water crashes upon her forcing her to fall back again into the water though she falls back into a deeper portion of the water and disappears under the surface of the water. Instead of surfacing again she remains under water in an attempt to draw Jyn in closer so she can catch him off guard. Remaining under the water she begins to think on what she should do as payback while waiting on him to come after her.

EXP: 204

“Mwahaha!” comes the booming laugh after Jyn’s essence explodes in the waters cascading liquid all over the small tender body of the girl Lunara. Jyn seemed happy with the counter attack to say the least. He looks to where Lunara should be in order to taunt her, but instead of doing that, he realizes that he didn’t see her. “Eh?” his head tilts to the side and he takes a step forwards. “Lunara…?” he would speak lightly wondering what was taking her so long to come up. Soon the playfulness is replaced by worry as he comments, “oh crap…” Moving briskly, Jyn begins to wade through the emerald waters as he moves over to the area where Lunara should be. His hands push through the waters as he realizes that it was getting deeper the further he went into the water. The fact that she mentioned drowning brought up a red flag since it indicated that she might not be able to swim, but then again, the fact that she mentioned wanting to go swimming seemed to contradict that. He murmurs lightly about that probably not mattering since girls were confused by nature anyways, or so they were in his head. He makes it to where she should be and looks down in the waters for her.

237 / 7974

Remaining under the water, Lunara knows she cant wait forever for him since she was running out of time as her air supply continues to run out. Through the water she could see Jyn's figure as he begins to draw closer to her moving through the water. It seemed her plan may have worked since he appeared to be moving closer, out into the deeper water in search of her. She keeps her gaze on him and as he draws closer she makes sure to carefully shift through the water so she wont run into him as he moves to where she had disappeared into the water. As he moves out a bit further into the water and lets out a bit of her air to send up some air bubbles through the water in the hopes of getting Jyn's attention and draw him out more. After releasing the air she begins to move away as she keeps her gaze set on Jyn. Unless he spotted her or caught on to her trap she would try and swim around behind him with out alerting him and launch her counter attack by springing from the water and letting out a playful battle cry as she trys to take him down into the water.

EXP: 214

Jyn’s attention is grabbed when he notices bubbles of water coming to the top of the water. “Just how deep is this area…” he murmurs lightly as he wades in that direction. As he moved out, he moved beyond the area where his feet could touch the ground, so he began basically doggy paddling instead. Reaching the area where the bubbles were, he stops and keeps his body floating by waving his arms to the side of his body in the water with fluid motions. His eyes widen as the war cry come from behind and he is clung onto. Making sure to take a deep breath before his submersion, he soon finds himself pulled beneath the water’s surface by the small girl who had caught him off guard. After going under the water’s surface, he recomposes, realizing that he had been tricked. A small grin would be amidst puffed air filled cheeks. His arms wave out as he pushes himself back up towards the waters surface and breaks it, with his head rocking back and mouth open to take in another gulp of air with Lunara probably still hanging onto his back while teasing between avoiding water getting in his mouth, “and you called -me- mean…”

227 / 8201

Catching him off guard she jumps onto his back from behind and as she jumps onto him she latches onto him, her arms wrapping around his neck as she loops her legs around him, holding onto him with her arms and legs as they both go under water. As she goes under the water again, this time with him, she begins to wonder if she should release her grasp on him and surface since she isn't sure if he can swim with her attached to his back, then she begins to wonder if she will have to help him to the surface of the water but things begin to shift as he begins to move towards the surface of the water before breaking through it. Still holding onto him, she gasps, taking in a breath of air as she listens to him speak. Remaining silent for a moment as she pants for air. After a brief moment she lets out a giggle in response to his comment, " Did you get some in your mouth again? " She teases as she loosens her grip around his neck so she wouldn't choke him with her grasp. Leaning in she moves closer to his ear and begins to speak in a whisper, " I'm not mean, I'm just playful. " she says as she lightly presses her chest into his back.

EXP: 229

At this point, Jyn would have no problems with levitating himself in the waters by paddling his feet and waving his hands around. Her weight wouldn’t be enough to give him much difficulty, so on the swimming aspect, the two were fine. Hearing her retort, he answers back, “right right, what you said…” simply agreeing with her in a passive manner, not paying much attention or minding the fact that she was clinging to his back. With that, he begins to paddle his way back and towards the shore or at least close enough where his feet would be able to touch the ground. As he does this, however, he feels as if something was wrong. His body pauses for a moment as if having heard something in the distance, and just as a precaution, he presses his senses around him in all directions to scan the forest for any type of peculiar activity. Nothing comes up on his radar after taking a moment to sense around him, so he shakes it off and continues towards the shores. Behind him, however, in the waters which dulled the ability to sense in the light, there came an amber glow from the center of the pond.

222 / 8423

As Jyn begins to speak in response to her statement she pouts faintly at how he responds to her, a light 'humph' escaping her as she held onto Jyn as he begins to move. Since he seemed to have no problem with her on his back she remains on his back holding onto him as he moves through the water, as he moves through the water she closes her eyes and lightly rests against him as he moves through the water. When he pauses for a moment she opens her eyes and glances down at him, " Big brother? " She inquires as she looks down at him, wondering why he had stopped for a brief moment. At firs then he stopped she thought he had injured himself or was having a problem with her on his back but continues to move again so she figured he hadn't hurt himself or she wasn't trouble on him. Since it seemed he was on his way to get out of the water she begins to wonder if she should get off his back or if he is alright with her on his back, " Big brother do you want me to get down? " she inquires as she looks down at him.

EXP: 210

His reply would probably be something along the lines of ‘ah it’s nothing’ if he were to answer her when she inquired him by his title, but unanswered she went until she speaks about her getting down. “Oh,” he mentions, half forgetting that he was toting her on his back, “sure, you can get dow…” Breaking his sentence, there is a large explosion of water from behind them as a column of the element is thrust into the air causing it to rain around them. A loud noise is made from something that rears a large head from the depths of the water. Almost expecting a Hydra, Jyn turns around to see a wooly alligator, a natural creature of pure strength and no magic. When his eyes come upon the creature, they widen to see it bounding from the waters and launched towards them. With only enough time to murmur, “armor of light!” he is able to generate a gauntlet of condensed light around his forearm just in time to block the beasts powerful chomp. The weight of the aquatic animal drives Jyn back and into the waters. The light armor was barely strong enough to keep from breaking, though Jyn is pulled under water with the creature. Aside from internally freaking out, in being dragged away from his initial area, he manages to attempt to detach Lunara from him, not wanting her to be near danger.

262 / 8685

Listening to him as he begins to speak, telling her to get down, a frown begins to take form on her face though before she can fully frown the explosion from behind them catches her attention and she shifts her attention from Jyn, turning her head to see what is going on behind them. As a head rears from the water Lunara lets out a squeal of surprise as her grip on Jyn begins to tighten while he turns to face the beast. She try's to keep her attention on the creature as Jyn turns to face the beast as it launches its self from the water and comes towards them. As the beast comes at the she dwells on the idea of calling upon Yuki's power to aid them though her thoughts of doing such are put to rest as Jyn manages to bring up magical armor to block the creatures attack. As the creature chomps down onto the gauntlet on Jyn's arm, Lunara grasps as her gaze shifts to the animals mouth around the gauntlet protecting his arm. Though she wanted to do something both to protect Jyn and also to protect herself, she wasn't sure if she should do so and blow her cover by showing her powers. Her grip on Jyn remains tight as he begins to be drawn towards the water though as he starts to detach her from him she reluctantly releases her grasp on him and falls from him as the animal pulls him back into the water.

EXP: 263

When Jyn feels the release of Lunara from his body, he felt a bit better, since her getting to safety would be the first priority. Fighting without having to protect her would be much easier than trying to fight while holding onto her. Still, he is pulled under water as the creature moves swiftly in its element, dragging Jyn along with him in perhaps an attempt to drown the half bred. Bubbles eject from his mouth as he calls upon Jyneil’s assistance to generate a dagger of light energy into his free hand. With it, he stabs the underbelly of the creature, hoping that it would coax the thing into letting him go. When the first stab doesn’t work, he performs another stab, and then another. Blood began to tint the waters of the pond and eventually the beast let go. With a final stab into it, Jyn leaves the dagger of light in the creature and pushes away just as the gauntlet on his arm had reached its breaking point. As Jyn pushes away, a voice speaks through him and the dagger of light glows and then erupts causing a large explosion that sends water, blood, and animal parts into the sky that are redirected back down due to the laws of gravity.

233 / 8918

After releasing her grasp on Jyn she watches as he is pulled under the water by the creature that had attacked them. " Big brother! " She calls out seconds after he had been taken under the water by the creature. With the creature attacking and having taken Jyn she begin to wonder if she should either call upon Yuki's powers or allow him to wake up all together so he could help Jyn deal with the threat. Her fears only begin to grow as she watched the water diligently and began to see the water become tainted with the blood as it begins to flow up to the surface. As she sees the blood her mind quickly draws to the conclusion that the creature had made a meal of Jyn and was probably going to do the same to her. " ... Big brother? " She calls out as she shifts her gaze over the water, " Hello? " she adds while shifting her gaze over the water, though her voice was meet with silence at the moment. As she watches the water what happens next takes her by surprise and causes her to gasp out in fear and surprise as the water seems to erupt in an explosion that sends water, blood, and animal parts into the sky before they begin to rain down with bits of animal and some blood falling onto her.

EXP: 241

Jyn’s body shoots up out of the blood tainted water holding his right hand up with something in it. A savage look is on his face as he calls out, “creature, you’re two hundred years too early to take me on! Rawr!” Looking to his elevated right hand, he comments, “I hath defeated the beast and taken it hear…” He pauses for a moment and looks at the organ that was in his hand; it was not a heart, but the creature’s testicles. Jyn’s savage look shifts to one of shock as he slowly tilts his hand down, allowing the blood and slimy objects to fall free form it while his voice elongates an “eewww…” They make a plop in the waters and with them out of his hand, Jyn washes his hands in the water and then looks over to Lunara making sure she seemed okay. He would call out, “everything good?” while beginning to swim over in her direction until he reached the point where his feet could touch the bottom of the ground. He would make the comment, “let’s fine a clear portion of the water, clean off and get out of here. I think I’ve had enough swimming for the day.”

215 / 9133

Now covered in blood and animal parts, Lunara lets out a unpleased groan as she watches the water, waiting on any sign of Jyn. Finally as his body comes up through the blood tainted water alive she smiles happily as she listens to him as he crys out in victory over the creature that had attacked. Noticing he has something in his hand she looks to see what the something is but only managed to get a glimpse of what Jyn had in his hand before he dropped them into the water. Another groan escapes her lips at what Jyn had in his hand, a groan that is followed by the same comment as Jyn. Her attention quickly shifts back to Jyn as he looks to her, a soft smile upon her visage as she looks over at him, still covered in blood and bits from the animal, she lifts an arm and waves to him. " Yes Big brother, everything is good now. Are you alright? " she inquires as she watches him begin to swim over to her. Lunara keeps her gaze locked on Jyn as he moves through the water and makes his way towards her. When he makes the comment about getting cleaned up before leaving she nods her head a few times in agreement, " Y-yes... I think I've had enough swimming for today too. " she says as she shifts her gaze over Jyn for a moment before looking to his face.

EXP: 252

Jyn would swim to the point where his feet would be able to touch the ground. Slowly he would wade towards and past Lunara as he answers her, “of course I’m alright. You can rest assured that your big bro is invincible.” In passing he gives her a light pat on the head before moving beyond her to a portion of water where the blood wasn’t as thick. There in waters that were about knee high, he uses the clearer water to rinse off the traces of blood that had come from being too close to where the water creature had been exploded. He made sure that the bits of flesh weren’t in his hair, though he would probably have his hair now slightly tinted as the snowy white locks might not be able to maintain its purity. While cleaning up, he would look up and to Lunara to see what she was doing and would make the comment to her, “hurry it up too, don’t make me wait too long for you to get cleaned up.” He was operating under the assumption that all women were very slow in their getting ready and whatnot.

She watched Jyn as he swims through the water before being able to walk thorugh the water when it becomes shallow enough. Keeping her gaze on Jyn, Lunara slowly shifts as he makes his way past her and as he begins to speak she listens to him and smiles at his conformation that he is indeed alright, though the comment about being invincible made her giggle lightly as she watches him. Getting lost in the moment, Lunara holds her ground and simply watches Jyn as he moves over to cleaner water and begins to clean up. It isn't until she hears him make the comment about hurrying up that she finally snaps back to reality and gives a nod as she moves over to the cleaner water as well. " Hmph. " She murmurs at his comment as she begins to wash up, washing the blood and bits of monster that had fallen onto her off into the water. Taking hand fulls of water, Lunara releases the water over her head to let the water run through her hair and wash any bits and blood that are in here hair. " I guess next time I'll have to make sure it is safe. " She says in a teasing manner as she glances to Jyn as she finishes rinsing off.

EXP: 225 / 9568

“Bah,” Jyn would counter with a roll of his eyes. There is a bit of a grin at the fact that she would have to go in first to test the waters for him. He finishes up first and takes steps out of the water. He makes his way towards the towels that he had previously brought and set upon a stone when they had first arrived, and in reaching the towels, he would take one and wrap it around his shoulders, taking either end with his hand and would proceed in drying off his back first by shifting the towel back and forth along his back. After that, he would bring the towel around, dry his hair and then proceed to his arms and the rest of his body. While drying off, he comments, “if you go in first, the monster would be sure to get eating you out the way…” There is a slight pause when he brings the towel around, done with it and tossing it to hang over his shoulder before he adds, “well, sweets are supposed to be for desert. I figure I’m more of a main course type of guy.” So far things were going fine; this stranger who claimed to know Yuki hadn’t tried to kill him yet. All in all, she was slowly earning his true trust as he continued to be around her more and more.

237 / 9573

As she finishes she lifts her gaze adn looks to Jyn as he moves over to the towels he had brought and grabs one before he starts to dry off with it. Holding her ground for a moment, Lunara keeps her gaze fixed on Jyn and watches him as he works on drying himself off with the towel. When he begins to speak she finally begins to move and makes her way out of the water before she starts to move towards him. Listening to his comment a frown takes form on her face as she watches Jyn. Making her way over to where the other towel rest, Lunara bends down and picks the towel up, her gaze having shifted from Jyn for a moment as she listens to him continue speaking. As he makes the comment about being a main course type of guy she giggles lightly as she begins to dry her self off, starting with her hair. While working on drying her hair off Lunara turns her attention back to Jyn and shifts her gaze over him for a brief moment before bringing her gaze to rest on his visage, " What? You tell me you don't like getting your desert first? " She inquires as she shifts from her hair and begins to dry her arms off.

EXP: 223 / 9791

With a shrug, the male would answer, “I think they’re supposed to go after the main course…” He was pretty sure that was what Melody’s mother had taught then when they were growing up. It had something to do with sweets ruining an appetite or something to that nature. Still, to him, it seemed that the purpose of food was not to be hungry and if desert performed that miracle then there shouldn’t be anything wrong with it. But he did understand, “…still, it’s good to finish off a meal with a good taste on your tongue.” Leaving it at that, he would move on into asking while waiting for her to finish up drying off and exiting the water, “so what are your favorite types of desert? Cake? Muffins?” There were a few types that he had come into contact with in Mare Maris during his travel; the city seemed to have a well equipped food district with various types of breads and confectionary that wasn’t found in other places of the world. There didn’t seem to be any place around here that had deserts, but there was a chance that traveling merchants might have some sort of sweets other than the natural types.

224 / 9797

While working on drying off she listens to Jyn as he begins to speak and informs her about the order in which desert comes during a meal time. Finishing with her arms she moves on and starts to dry her back while listening to Jyn as he continues to speak. The comment about finishing a meal with a good taste on your tongue makes her smirk faintly as she glances to him. As the topic shifts and he begins to ask her a question she listens to the question and thinks up on it for a brief moment as she finishes drying off and wraps the towel around her waist and slips one part of the towel into the other so it would remain around her waist with out her holding it. " I like cakes. " She says with a nod as a smile begins to take form on her visage, " They are very delicious. Talking about it is making me want one right now. " She adds, ending with a light pout as she looks to Jyn, " What about you big brother, which do you like? Cake, muffin, or something else. " She asks as she begins to move towards him.

EXP: 205 / 9996

In the time she takes to dry off, Jyn does look at her a little bit. After all, he was human and a male after all. Though her body was small and petite, it wasn’t unattractive and it had its good points to it. Through most it, he managed to keep his gaze at face level, or divert it away from her so it didn’t seem like he were staring directly at her all the time. With a nod, he comments, “cakes, then. We’ll have to get you one sooner or later.” He had to make sure she was cool with the fact that they might be traveling a lot; as things would pick up in the future she needed to be comfortable with traveling. Someone with such a small body might get tired quickly when walking across the continent like Jyn did. As she makes her way towards him, Jyn comments, “Hmm… what type of desert do I like?” Mulling over the thought a little, he answers, “something better than cake or muffins.” With a grin, he would say, “bacon… yeah…” Just thinking about it was enough to get him in the mood for it. “That’s my desert of choice,” he would solidify while noticing her moving towards him. Assuming she was coming so that they could walk together, he would turn his body to the side and ask, “so how used to traveling are you?”

248 / 10,045

She listens as he speaks up, making the comment about having cake sooner or later and she thought on the idea before coming to a conclusion on when she would like to have some cake. " Sooner sounds better then later. " She says with a soft smile, her gaze still locked on him. When he begins to answer her question about what he liked for desert she listens to him, wondering what could be better then cake and as he brings bacon into the conversation, counting it as a desert she giggles lightly as she shakes her head at his idea of desert. " That isn't a desert you silly. That would be something you have for breakfast or maybe lunch or dinner but not a desert. Deserts are suppose to be sweet things like cakes. " She says with a nod as she watches Jyn shift to the side before speaking up, asking her about traveling now. Pausing for a moment, she thinks on his question before giving a faint shrug as she moves up next to him and trys to loop her arm around one of his and move close to him, " It can be rather boring if you do it by yourself and it always helps to have some sort of animal you can ride, why? " She inquires as she looks up at him.

EXP: 231 / 10,227

He didn’t pay much mind to her jibber-jabber of blasphemies. Bacon was not a dessert? Pfft. A desert was defined as a treat… or something to that nature, so of course in his mind he would be right, though he wouldn’t say anything in protest verbally about it. He would simply emit a slight, “heh” and allow her to continue speaking. He allows her to loop her arm in his as she comes to his side. Answering her question, he would enlighten, “I ask because I’m a traveler.” With that, he would begin walking in the direction that they had originally come with her arm looped in his. He would continue, “I’m not sure how much Yuki told you, but me and him actually met while I was traveling. I came through his village… or I saw him in the desert… either way, something happened and from then on, I’ve continued to bump into him. Right now I’m on a journey at this portion of my life. I’m trying to find someone, so until I complete that, my traveling will never end.” Thinking about it as they put some distance between themselves and the pond, Jyn would remark, “it’s been several years since I started the journey…” He murmurs, “… I’ll probably be on it several more.”

237 / 10,282

Since Jyn didn't pull his arm away from her she loops her arm around his and leans close to him. Her gaze lifts to him as he speaks up, answering her question and as she listens to him answer her question she gives a faint nod of acknowledgement as she begins to walk with him as he starts to lead the way back. As he continues speaking she remains silent as she listens to him as he starts to explain how he and Yuki had met before. Remaining at his side she listens intently to him as he explains things to her. As she listens she realizes she had not prodded Yuki's memories that much for information on Jyn. Again she nods her head while listening to Jyn and as he finishes she begins to speak, " I see. " She murmurs lightly as she lifts her gaze to look at him once again, " Sound's like you have been all over the place, but doesn't all that traveling get boring and tiring? " She says as she gazes up at him, " And your feet probably feel horrible all the time. " She adds with a faint nod, " And being alone all the time.. "

EXP: 207 / 10,434

Steps would continue to be taken through the passage way that would lead them back towards the mansion from which they had come. Jyn would shrug lightly and make the comment, “it’s not so bad. I mean, I get used to the walking. Sometimes I’m able to hitch rides with passing merchants… but lately I’ve always seemed to have company while traveling. I’m not sure if you’ve met her, but Eri also lives in the house with us. She’s been traveling with me a lot lately. Me and Yuki traveled together a little bit as well.” A grin comes to his face as he shifts his attention to her and makes the comment, “but I guess since I’ve got to protect you, that means that you’re going to have to travel with me as well… unless I leave you in Yuki’s hands.” Thinking about it, it did seem a little weird to him that he may end up closer to her than Yuki; he didn’t know if that was a cool thing to happen. With no real indication to when Yuki would be back, he wouldn’t worry so much on it, figuring that he would see him when the time was right to do so.

210 / 10,492

Following at his side Lunara falls silent as she finishes speaking, her gaze slowly shifting as she scans the area ahead of them as they begin to make there way back to th mansion they had come from. As Jyn begins to speak again, she glances to him for a brief moment before turning her gaze back ahead of them as she listens to him. When he makes mention of Eri she couldn't help but think how familiar the name seemed and after a moment she remembered the relation with the one named Eri and Yuki. She continues to listen as he speaks and as he begins to talk about her traveling with him or staying with Yuki, she glances to him for a moment, a soft frown taking form on her face, " I'll have to think about that big brother. I don't know if I'm really built for long distance travel, I mean look at me... " She comments as she glances down at her form for a moment before looking back to Jyn, " But, I suppose if you where to carry me... I might think more about joining you on your travels. " She adds as she lightly nudges against him.

EXP: 209 / 10,643

“Hmm…” Jyn seems to think on this, “In that case, I’ll have no choice but to leave you with Yuki as your baby sitter.” He gives a grin and then looks down at her, pushing her softly in a teasing manner. He returns his gaze to the area ahead of them before stating, “or at least put some meat on your bones so you can become more accustomed to traveling. It’s not all that bad; you get to see a lot of interesting things.” With that, they would be exiting the groove that had previously held the pond they had visited. From here, the many large and well spaced out structures of Rockland would be visible with the mansion that belonged to Jyn and his party visible in the far distance. By this time, the sun would have reached the top of the sky and the afternoon would arrive, allowing it to begin its way towards the western skies. It was still early in the day with plenty of sunlight, so there was plenty of time to get other things done and out of the way. Still, spending an entire day with a girl that he had just met without doing something with her; it was something he wasn’t that accustomed too.

223 / 10715

As he makes the comment about leaving her with Yuki so he can babysit her a frown begins to take form on her face as she looks up at him while he pushes her back. The frown remained on her face though she turned her attention away from him and gazed ahead of them. She keeps her attention set ahead of them until he makes the comment about putting some meat on her bones. Though she knew what he meant by the comment she decides to react a different way so see what he would do. Turning her attention back to him, the frown on her face begins to shift, " What, you wanna make me fat? " She asks as she looks up at him, the frown shifting into a slightly angry look that takes hold of her visage, " I can't believe you would say something like that. " She adds as she releases her grasp on his arm and begins to step away from him. While pulling away from him she keeps her gaze up at him as she brings an arm up and balls her fist up before striking him in the arm, as she strikes him she makes sure to hold back the full extent of her strength so the hit would feel rather weak and fit for a girl of her size.

EXP: 222 /

Jyn grins and takes the punch from the pint size girl. He would humor her with a light “ouch” on the hit knowing that it was probably the best she could do with such a small and puny body. He was feeling a bit better, however, since she had stopped her forward advances on him. There was a small fear that she would attempt to do something in the water with him, but that threat was averted and over with now. Now things seemed to be settling into a healthy relationship between an older brother and the smaller loli equivalent of a little sister. His free hand would come around and rustle up her hair, rubbing her head before returning to his side. Upon his voice would be a light chuckling laugh; in this manner they would return back to the manor to complete this portion of the day. It would be days later that Yuki and Dravec would return… probably… and after that, it would be some time before Jyn would see Lunara. All and all, the timeline of all the events would shift awkwardly, but at least for this day, Jyn would have a little sister and Lunara would have a big brother.

After hitting him in the side Lunara keep's her gaze set upon Jyn watching him as he reacts to the hit and as he makes the comment she nods her head as a smile takes form on her visage. " That's what you get you big meany. " She says with another nod as she turns her gaze ahead of them while moving back next to Jyn. When he brings his hand up and ruffles her hair her smile is quickly replaced with a frown as she glances to the make and playfully glares at him as she reaches up and trys to fix her hair now that he had messed it up. Once she had her hair fixed she lets her arms fall back to her side as she now remains silent while following at Jyn's side as he leads the way back to the mansion. While following at his side she begins to dwell upon what all has happened today and what things may come of it as well as what bad could come of it should Yuki find out about her time spent with Jyn and what she would like to do with the male. Though these things troubled her she remained silent and kept them to herself as she went along with Jyn.
