yaydanger | (1) Video - Action for Forest, entering the village

[Tharja has seen many things in her strange lifetime, but this device is a new one. However, she instantly deems it useless, and so throws it on the ground - as a result, it turns on during her rant.]

- will pay, oh yes, they will pay... Damn them all...

[As a result of being on the ground, the angle you get of her is a little weird. But she's looking very exhausted and sickly... most likely a result of her ripping off some of those black feathers on her back. You can see them clutched in her hand. Someone should tell her that wasn't a good idea.]

Ugh... There's... there's no way they would have left me behind. Robin would never have let that happen. Walhart... he and his army, they must have...

[She has to lean on a tree now, clutching a book to her chest. She takes a few deep breaths, before pushing off the tree and trying to walk again.]

I'll destroy every single last soldier... I'll turn them into toads... no, I'll make them into rats, and feed them to the cats... I'll... I'll... I'm going to be sick...

[She thinks about it for a minute.]

You can get food at the grocery store and whatever clothes you need at the shop. The stuff in there changes every day and it's all free, so it's simply a matter of being lucky enough to be there when something you want appears.

There are apartments you can stay in, also?

... It all sounds far too convenient.

Well, given that we're stuck here, they're probably trying to make us comfortable so we're less likely to rebel.

[The mention of magic gets his attention almost immediately, and within a short period of time he isolates her position and teleports himself relatively close by. There is a brief rustling of leaves nearby her which would alert her to his presence]

[By the time she says that, Sokka is in this very weird and compromising position, half-turned around, half-stooped to try to grab his boomerang. He freezes in place, doing exactly what he's told; ... that position is going to get really uncomfortable really fast. Though he does turn his head to Tharja to look at her before sighing.

He would have to run into the weird folk in the forest. Robbers? Bandits? Dare he even ask?]

Look, I don't know what you're thinking, and I don't want to bother you if I'm intruding. I just want to find that rabbit and head back home.

[Though fat chance he's going to find it now.]

[This long limb woman was stalking through the forest looking for her next meal. Covered in blue scales and with elongated eyes, mouth, nose, and ears she surely doesn't look human. The second pair of large white wings being a dead giveaway.

She heard the shouting from a ways away and thought she would check on all the noise. Then the shouts turn to threats and she gets seconds thoughts. Freezing for a moment before speaking.]

You threaten the wrong people.

[To be frank, non-humans aren't new to her. She's met dragon people, and bunny-people, so when she looks up, it's not terribly surprising.

... Okay it's a little surprising.]

Stay back! Don't you get near me!

[She heard it, all right. She freezes in place, and then starts to open her book, flipping it to the right page. Maybe if she can hit whoever this was with the spell Nosferatu, she can regain some energy... If she can hit him. She starts mumbling, tracing her fingers over the page, as the book itself glows a faint purple.]

If you take another single step, I'll roast you hotter than you would any hare.

[... granted, she doesn't have the strength for that, but he doesn't have to know it.]

Where am I? And where is the rest of Prince Chrom's army?

[Xzana doesn't move a muscle and looks unimpressed. Although considering she had that same reaction when she arrived in Luceti she can't blame her.]

This one is also not the one who you should be angry with.

I'll be angry at whoever I please... Now, tell me where I am.

You are in the land of Luceti. There are men who are called... [What's the word.] ...scientists? They are the men with whom you should be angry.

[Luceti? Where in the world... She growls a little.]

Then where are they, so I can fully express my... anger.

This one does not know. They stay hidden and send men of metal to attack us.

Gods, dammit...

[She lurches a little, but then tries to straighten up.]

Is there anywhere safe?

If there is a safe place, it has yet to be found.

[Xzana eyes the feathers on the ground already.] Damage the wings no further. If you continue it shall make you ill.

[The feathers... she'd almost forgotten.]

Why are those... things... On me...

Unknown. It is known that if the wings are damaged then it can lead to one's death.

... I'm not going to die.

[It's more said like OH HELL NO I AM NOT DYING YET OH NO OH NO]

Then do not remove any more feathers.

There is a village of humans further into the trees. Should you wish, you may live there with the others.

[Xzana's not sure she wants someone as grumpy as Tharja living in the woods with her.]

[Cautiously, she looks at Xzana's face.]

And are they 'good' humans?

[For a moment she thinks on that. She's never had much trust in humans as a whole, but during her time in Luceti everyone had been kind to her. Helping her when she had been changed by the Malnosso or hurt.]

Yes. They are good humans.

... Guess I'll have to take what I can get.

[She starts to walk, but then stops. Ugh. UGH. SHE HATES DOING THIS.]

... Thank you.

You are welcome. [She points one long claw towards the village.] It is in that direction.

Don't tell anyone you say me.

[And so starts the slow, slow hobble walk.]
