Jamie shakes her head quickly. "No! I mean, maybe a little intimidating in the sense that you're so much more knowledgable and smart and pretty than I am, but scared? Not at all," she says, smiling.
[Entryway]
The red-haired-with-white-highlights Solar nods to her Lunar Mate, and pauses, before taking a cross-legged seat so as not to tower over the children while Zamira fetches water.
"You're safe now," she says in a soft voice, mentally thinking back to her past - and her sister.

Vidalia cocks her head to one side, like a confused puppy. Uh, thank you, Jamie. I think. Then turns her attention back to Marty, and tries to smile mmore friendly-like.

Honestly, he didn't know what to do...or what she was planning to do....he takes his hands out again and considers holding her again...embracing her...and then he brushes the thought away. He was being stupid...yet the thought hangs there in his conscience.
I won't harm you. I'm trying to be your friend.
I was just curious as to why you wanted to know if I was human. As you just said, "Why would it matter?" she shurgus and turns back around. I'm half-onion plant, if you must know.

Most of the children hang back, some simply collapsing to sit or lie on the grass. The teenager sighs in relief, looking at the child on her shoulder. She offers the toddler to Shrike. "Can you take him? Please? I just... need to rest..." The girl looks ready to collapse herself. "You don't know how long we've been out there."

Huh. That was quick. Zamira's coming back out, holding a bag with some water bottles in, and some other bottles as well.
All the bottles are fairly small, though. The sort you might take running. Zamira starts to hand the water bottles out. "Do not drink it all at once. You need to take small sips right now, otherwise your bodies will simply bring it back up."

The gathering of children - only ten or twelve in all, and just two older than the girl - take the water bottles greedily, but do as they're told. Still, those are some fast sips they're taking.
"Um. Yatau." She takes a gulp of water, then drenches her face in it. She sighs a moment, just breathing, before swallowing a little more healthily. "It's a village a few miles from here. We..." She takes a moment to gather her voice, on the verge of tears herself. "I don't know. This thing... tricked us. The whole town. Asked for our souls. When it... when it got the kids, it made the parents trade to get em' back." She sobs, but doesn't break down quite yet. "He changed them."

Vincent's world revolves around killing and death. He cannot respect someone who refuses to do what's necessary.
He squeezes Caroline's hand. He thinks it's time to go now.

Vidalia jumps slightly as Marty rushes up on her, but doesn't move away. Well, you should stop being so stand-offish. And gets your wounds looked at. It's not weakness to be healed. It's weakness to allow the wound to fester.

Caroline shakes her head no. Nope. But let's not talk about it anymore.
And with the squeeze of Vincent's hand, Caroline steps toward the exit. Actually, I think we should seek out Sophie. Thanks.

Well actually he just has a problem when humans kill humans. It may sound bad, but thats the things you get by coming from elsewhere. He wouldn't have avoid to kill Carolin for example.:smallconfused:
"That wasn't what I mean. I got my limits as well. I just see the good in someone first. I still hope I could helped."

As far as Vincent is concerned, humans can be monsters too.
He steps out with Caroline though and looks around. He could go for a second opinion.

Reinholdt swoops down here and rushes into the Infirmary.
"Can I get a little help here?!"
He sounds somewhat concerned, though is not sporting any obvious injuries.

Good. But it's not just your foot I'm concerned about. she reaches out for his hand. But, one thing at a time, I guess. For now, let's get to your picnic.

Pleeease. You saw the two kids on the beach. It's way too hot out to be wearing what you are wearing. It doesn't take much deduction to figure out you are hiding more scars than just your foot.
And if we are going to spending any quality curtain time, you need to be in top physical shape. I don't just let anyone into my bed.
She walks over to the basket and opens it up. Let's see what you have. Right, Jamie?

He was making no sense really...in his mind he was having a bit of a problem...above the constant chatter of voices he didn't know what she was trying to say....top physical condition? What? Well...ignore it...he had no idea what she was referring to....He moves over to the tree and uses it to slide down onto the picnic blanket. Luckily no ants got in the food.
He tells her, Here...I always b-bring extra....Inside was a rather nicely made sub. He always makes his food with care. He grows it out of the Goblin's small garden he tends to. It's made very well. He then reaches into a magical bag that he had since he was 5. He pulls out a bottle of ice cold lemonade. He also takes two glasses out. Here. I made this sandwich, organic ingredients. I grew the vegetables myself. You want tomatoes? There is lemonade too. I squeezed it this morning....Hope you ,like sugar in your lemonade. That stutter was gone...he ws calm. He loved his cooking. He smiles for once at her. His teeth are pearly white and shine in the sun.

If allowed, Kate will step in and look for the babies! Chances are she will see Scylla.

Well look who's shown up late to the party. Julie, unused to all the physical exercise she's gotten today, as finally walked her way back to the campground all the way from the Keep.
And look, Kate's here. Darnit, and Julie hadn't come up with anything better as a gift yet. Oh well.
Thinking quickly, Julie flashports what she had gotten in the first place. She hopes Kate will like them. A smallish shoebox appears in her hand in a burst of fire.
"Why hello there everyone, did you decide to have a baby shower without me?" Julie's smirk is broad and mischievous.
