Lost

[Kiki]

Masael, a girl about 15 with black hair and green eyes, looked at the vast expanse of desert below her, smiling a little bit. The funri Dragon she rode on cut silently through the air. the Dragon looked like a giant cloud of dust because of the sandy colors of his scales. The Dragon landed at an oasis and curled around, then assumed his human form after his Tamer slid off his back. Masael sighed and shielded her eyes. The pair clearly were out of place on this planet and had no idea where they were.

[Zappy]

Roran and Neptune, his blue Charizard, were flying over the desert, then noticing the two people on near the oasis, "Neptune, swoop down." Roran told his companion, and they dive-bombed downward, landing a few feet in front of the other two.

[Kiki]

Arad instinctively got in front of his Tamer, his eyes clearly on guard and wary. Masael's hand gripped the sword at her left. "Who are you?" Arad asked, his voice lightly accented.

[Zappy]

Roran held his ground, not knowing if they would attack if he neared them, "My name is Roran Tsukino, and this guy here," he replied patting Neptune on the back, "Is Neptune."

[Kiki]

Arad's eyes flicked to the blue Charizard as did Masael's. "A Rider?" he asked.

[Zappy]

Roran shook his head, "I am not a rider, Neptune is just my dearest friend. I'm too old for that riding stuff."

[Kiki]

Arad fell into a stony silence, glaring at the pair. "What are you, then, that you ride on a Dragon's back?" he asked, clearly disgraced.
"Peace, dear friend." Masael stepped out from behind her partner though her hand remained on her sword. "The ways of this world are different than our own. There is much we don't understand." Her voice was much more heavily accented than Arad's, sometimes making her hard to understand.

[Zappy]

Roran stood rooted to his spot though Neptune made an extremely subtle movement that put him in a defensive position. "Obviously, you're not from around here, so where are you from?" Roran asked the pair.

[Kiki]

Masael took notice of Neptune's slight position shift. Her military training wasn't lost on her. "A different world, it would seem," she said. She relaxed a bit to show she was no threat, but remained on guard to show she would defend herself if the need arose.

[Zappy]

Roran held up his hand, and Neptune relaxed, Roran then began a slow approach, "Are you lost then?"

[Kiki]

Masael nodded. "We've no clue where we are." She instinctively stepped back as Roran approached, not sure if he were friend or foe.

[Zappy]

Roran held up his hand, "Peace, I will not attack. If you would like, I could show the way to the city."

[Kiki]

Masael retained her defensive pose. "We came from there. The sense of confinement is unbearable."

[Zappy]

Roran stopped his approach, "Ah. Do you need anything then?" Roran tried to appear friendly.

[Kiki]

Masael shook her head, not wanting to appear weak to these strangers. Sweat trickled down her temple, not just from the heat. She could sense Roran's Darkness, a feeling that unnerved even the most hardened military personnel.

[Zappy]

Roran shrugged, "If you say so." He turned to walk back to Neptune.

[Kiki]

Steel rang through the air as Masael pulled her sword from its sheathe. A Meowth had pounced on her, wanting her out of its territory. She swung blindly but missed the MEowht as it was on her back. Its claws were dug into her skin and it clearly wasn't going to let go any time soon. Masael gritted her teeth against the pain, not wanting to show any weakness

[Zappy]

Roran turned around, flicking his hand to make gravity fling the Meowth off, "You okay?" He asked, truly concerned.

[Kiki]

Masael panicked a few minutes more before putting her sword away. Her face was burning bright red. "Yes," she mumbled, though her accent made it hard to tell what she said. Arad walked over and looked at her back.
"The wounds are but mere scratches," he said after examining her.
"My shirt is in tatters." Masael sighed. "No protection from this desert now."

[Zappy]

Roran scrunched up his eyes a quizzical look on his face, "What'd she say?" he asked Neptune, who shrugged, "If you want, I think I might have an extra shirt."

[Kiki]

"I am fine." Masael's head snapped up and stepped back. "I will fix it."
"With no needle?"

[Zappy]

Roran smiled, "How you gonna manage that?"

[Kiki]

Masael glared at her partner and sighed.

[Zappy]

Roran dug through his pockets, taking out a shirt and tossing it to Masael, "I insist."

[Kiki]

Masael warily snatched the shirt and examined it. "The weave is not protection against the elements."

[Zappy]

Roran sighed, "Just put it on."

[Kiki]

Arad stood in front of his Tamer and spread his cloak out in front of her while she changed.

[Zappy]

Roran had turned around, and was waiting until she said he could turn back around.

[Kiki]

Masael said something in a lilting language that caused Arad to drop his cloak. She plucked at the shirt a bit, clearly in distaste. The two partner conversed for several minutes in another language.

[Zappy]

Roran and Neptune watched, listening, though not understanding.
