Landing With the Tide

[Stars9]

It was a day like any other around Storm Isle, the sky was clear inside, but outside the storms raged feirce as ever. In the middle of the storms was a lone boat, manned by a single human. The human's name is Vicen. He had no knowledge of what he was doing, he was just trying to get to the Isle with his life. He watched as he continued his ship twords his destination. After afew hours of hard work he crashed into the isle, boat beached on the shores. With a shrug Vicen looked at the water then at the place he had landed, "Alright...now to just get the stupid plant, head back to mainland, and collect my reward." He paused as his stomach growled furiously, "But first...i have to find something to eat..."

[Stars9]

((*sitting back, relaxed, waiting for a reply*...))

[Stars9]

((Well...while i wait i'lljust do a bit on why else he is here.))

Vicen sipped some water he kept in the boat and looked around. In the boat was a paper, written sloppily by his client. It read as follows;

Mercenary Vicen,

I require your services desperately. My town is in need of the rare medicinal plants of The Storm Isle...If you come i will give you directions to a great treasure, that will be your payment. Please hurry and help my town. Sent the herbs back with the messenger who sent this to you.

There was no name but the messenger was back at his little shack, waiting for the herbs and Vicen's return...Meanwhile, Vicen was examining the many herbs of the island and yelled in his frustration, "WHICH ONE OF THESE DAMN HERBS IS THE ONE I'M SUPPOSED TO TAKE!?!?!?"

[Night Owl]

Vixen's head flicked up from its spot in the grass.
She cocked her head to one side, a couple strands of hair falling in her face.
Who was making all this noise?
She lifted herself from the comfortable shade that surrounded her and got to her feet, her tail swaying behind her.

She picked up the part of her dress on her thighs, making it easier to move about, and walked towards the noise. Pale eyes flickering this way and that.

She may be niave, but she could still be cautious at times.

Vixen's feet padded along silently, carrying the frail legs and body connected to them. Her tail swirled about, giving the woman balance.

{Eyyyy Star! Annoyed of me yet? }

[Stars9]

Grumbling Vicen drew his blade and began to cut some plants out of the ground. "Whatever the treasure is it better be good....might as well get some extre stormsteel while i'm here...." heput away some of the plants and as he wnt to put the rest away he looked up. He thought he had heard something faintly. He kept his blade ready and walked twords where he thought it had come from.

[Night Owl]

Vixen didn't move.

Her head was tilted to the side, wondering what this Male might do. He looked a bit funny.

Vixen surpressed a fit of giggles, resting her hand on a tree. What was this man doing? And what was all this about treasure?

[Stars9]

Vicen walked closer to Vixen's location. He stopped afew feet infront of her, eharing another sound. He crouched and walked slowly forward. His blade was ready to attack if he had to, and he slightly hoped he would.

[Night Owl]

Vixen nearly laughed out loud as a new idea, or prank if you will, popped into her mind.

She quickly swung herself into the tree, again using her pale blue tail for support and balance. It was a bit difficult with the long dress she wore, but she was used to it by now.

She sat on a high branch, now able to see the man clearly. She covered her mouth with her free hand, as the other one was clutching a branch to keep her from falling, and giggled into it.

He looked a bit funny from where she was. Well, in truth, he looked funny period.

Well, from her Race, that is. She studied his clothing first. A bit odd... and why did he have his sword out? Clearly he knew nothing much could harm him here... could it?
Even the way his hair fell on his head made Vixen giggle a bit more.

She soon suppressed the giggles but was left with a wide, twitching smile.

[Stars9]

Vicen sliced the grass and saw nothing. Sighing, he sheathed his sword and looked around. he spotted Vixen's tail hanging from the brancha nd sighed. Just a Taliel...nothing to concern myself with. he thought as he continued looking at the plants, determining which could be used for medicine. After a while he stood up and spoke to the Taliel, "Whoever you are, i know your in that tree..."

[Night Owl]

Vixen shrugged, though hiding her pout. Too bad. Would have been a good joke, too.

She jumped down, landing softly by the Human.

She looked at him for a moment, poking his arm.
"I've never seen someone like you here before..." she muttered, looking him over with curious eyes.

[Stars9]

Vicen clenched his fist instinctivly and replied, "You've never sen a human? And would you stop poking me." he stepped away slightly and waited for the being's response.

[Night Owl]

Vixen smiled, locking her hands behind her back.

"Not many. I might a have seen one, but I must had been busy," she said, still smiling, "Sorry for the poking."

She began to roll back and forth on her heels.

Vixen was resisting to poke the Human again, his skin looked so odd.

"What are you called?" she asked after a while, stopping rolling on her heels but still smiling.

[Stars9]

"You mean my name? Vicen." Is all he said. He prefered to keep details about himself hidden from those he did not trust. His clenched hand was relaxed but he was stillr eady to fight if the need arised.

[Night Owl]

Vixen smiled even more, letting her hands drop to her side.

"Vicen.." she mumbled, rubbing her chin.

She let her hand drop again.

"What exactically are you doing here?" she asked, cocking her head to one side and having her silver hair fall over to one side. She hadn't gotten around to putting it up.
So she had let the shimmer hair go down, though it did get in the way sometimes.

[Stars9]

Vicen searched for the right words and with a nod replied, "Hold on now. I told you my name, now you tell me yours. Then i'll tell you why i'm here." He msiled and waited, crossing his arms and leaning on a tree.
