//Sev...? >_< He's talking to Jaydn . . .//
[Jaydn:]
"I'm completely fine with just staying here." I nodded, then stretched out on the sand. A few moments passed before Azen spoke again. "Hey, how did you end up in this sand pit anyway? Were you born here and just never decided to leave?"
I sighed. "One of the dancers found me just inside the Reptilian border when I was about four and brought me back to the nest. I don't know where I was born, or where I'm from. Or anything else about me. I've just never felt the need to go and travel across this stupid desert; it's always hotter than h*ll out here, and I'm not to keen on getting heat stroke." I spoke quietly, though he probably heard [most of] what I said. I didn't feel like going into a detailed description of my past, (and I wouldn't be able too, anyway, seeing how I didn't know squat about myself) though I figured as much as he told me about him (and the fact that he offered for me to go to Outcast Island with him) that he deserved an answer.

"Hmm," I mumbled. Well, that shed some light on his hostility. I'd be mad too if I had no idea where I'd come from. Of course, in my case, I guess there was too many things I didn't want to know, but had a bright memory of anyway. "That must be hard, then, not knowing." I didn't really know what to say to him; he was obviously unwilling to talk much on the subject. Perhaps he had even come from Anjay's people. I didn't know any other existance of cobras, and of course there were none on the island.
I thought back to my trip of tongue earlier. Why had I mistaken him for Sevren? Maybe it was just because he almost seemed lonely, like Sev was before Elsie. Without realizing it, I chuckled as a few of thier many antics crossed my head. Those two troublemakers......

// -.- Wonderful grammar on the OOC message, Jasper. //
[Jaydn:]
"That must be hard, then, not knowing."
I shrugged. "Sometimes." I watched the waves lapping at the shore, wondering why I had agreed to go with Azen. We had to cross an ocean; that was definitly something I didn't want on my 'To do' list, yet, here I was, looking for a bridge in the middle of a desert with a guy I hardly knew. I wasn't insane at all.
Azen laughing snapped me out of my trance. "Something funny?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as I turned to look at him.

I shook my head, but kept laughing anyway. "Sorry, it was just my slip up before. I must be tired." That was the only excuse I could think of for it. Why would Sevren come to my mind anyway? I mean, he's pretty eccentric, but I'd told him to stay on the island after.....the incident.
I felt my eyes shift into slits, and quickly widened them back out before Jaydn could take any offense. Another random thought popped into my head, and I wondered if it was somehow related to what had happened. "Say Jaydn....what's that Shunji kid's story anyway?" THere was something not right about that snake.....

(( -.- ))
[Jaydn:]
"Oh." I didn't know who Sev was, but I just assumed it was someone on the Island. As for him being tired, I hoped he didn't fall asleep. I didn't want to spend two days out here while he was practically in a coma.
"Say Jaydn....what's that Shunji kid's story anyway?"
His question confused me. "Uhm, I'm not really sure. . . I've never actually had a decent conversation with the guy," I told him, slightly embarrassed by the fact. He had started whatever arguement we'd gotten into. . .most of the time, anyway.

Well that wasn't much help. He seems kind of.....strange to me. Like he's always on the edge of trying to take somebody out or something." I guess it shouldn't really surprise me that I found people who were so far away from all I'd ever known a bit abnormal. But still, there seemed to be something familiar about this Shunji. I hated to think it, but he almost reminded me of a falcon.
So...I guess this being a desert and all, you don't see too many falcons around these parts?" I asked, more for conversation than for information. I was fighting sleep as much as I could, because I had no idea when I would wake up again.

[Jaydn:]
I thought about how he had described Shunji; he was pretty close. "Yeah; Shunji's not the most sociable of snakes. Then again, neither am I." I leaned back on my hands and looked up. The sky seemed lighter; it was probably pretty close to sunrise. I yawned as I thought of how we had gone all night without sleeping; that was probably the first time I'd ever done that. I groaned inwardly at the thought of the sun rising; it was going to get way too freaking hot.
"So...I guess this being a desert and all, you don't see too many falcons around these parts?"
Azen's question startled me. Falcons? Where had that question come from? "Uh, no, I've never seen a falcon out here." I looked at him curiously, wondering if he was going to elaborate.

//Holy crap we're finally actually going somewhere with this//
[Azen]
"Just wanted to check....." I shuddered, remembering Ahnmik and his magic. I glanced toward the East and saw a brightness on the horizon, and I could already feel the heat beginning to rise. I turned my gaze up the coastline. "We had probably better get over the water before the sun takes over for the day. It might make the heat a little more bereable."/(sp)/
I reverted my gaze back to Jaydn. "You up to keep going?" WE hadn't slept at all during the night, and that might make going on a bit difficult. I hope you're right about those falcons; I'm not sure I'd have the energy to deal with one." I said with a light attempt at humor, but I don't think I did too well.

(( Yep. Go us. *Waves tiny red flag with 'yay' written on it*
Also, I think 'bearable' is spelled like that. *Points to word* But I'm not sure and don't feel like checking. *Shrug*
Also, he's with Jaydn][/b], not Sevren. [For the second time.]))
[Jaydn:]
"We had probably better get over the water before the sun takes over for the day. It might make the heat a little more bearable." I nodded as Azen spoke, hoping he was right. "You up to keep going?" I nodded again and stood up. When he said something about dealing with falcons, I couldn't help but grimance.
"Hopefully we won't get unlucky and meet one. I don't think they'd like the desert much, though; it's probably too hot out here for them," I said. 'It's definitly too hot out here for me.'
I looked to the right and then the left, wondering which way we would go. "What direction do you think the bridge is? I mean, it's not like we can go straight anymore," I said, gesturing to the ocean. 'Well, technically we could, but I'm not getting wet.'
//Okay, it was like midnight and I'd had a long day. I sorry. Besides, the two threads are real similar//
[Azen]
"Well," I began, clasping my hands together, "the sun's rising behind us, so we're facing West." I pointed up the coastline on my right. THat way is South, which, as a rule, the farther South you go, the hotter it gets....usually." I turned to face the North, on my left. "It would make a lot more sense to head North then, if we're going to escape the desert." I hoped I had used the foreign word correctly.
I shrugged, looking back at Jaydn. "But that's just basic deductive reasoning. You know this land better than I do. Are there any other Reptile Kingdoms or whatever in either direction that you know of?" I wondered just how many of these Kingdoms existed, and if so, were they all Reptile or did they split it up? THese people seemed to be pretty spiecies oriented.

[Jaydn:]
I blinked. Well, going north sounded like a good idea to me. "There are other Kingdoms, but they're pretty far away. The closest one would probably be the Coral Kingdom, and everyone there supposedly died." I shrugged. "Heading North is fine with me; I've never been to this part of the territory before."
Which was true; the coastal area was probably the only place I hadn't been in the Reptile Kingdom. I watched the waves for a moment, lost in thought, still not sure if I wanted to leave.

An entire Kingdom dying? Getting out of here sounded better all the time to me. But...it seemed to have a different effect on Jaydn. Thinking over, I really started to sympathize with the guy. He was leaving behind everything he knew. Sure everything he knew pretty much made him miserable, but still.....was it fair of me to drag him away from that?
"Listen, Jaydn......I appreciate all you've done for me but..." I didn't really know how to get out what I wanted to say without sounding rude or like I wanted him to leave. ...But maybe......" I gulped. "Maybe it would be better if I went on my own from here. I mean, if you really wanted, Outcast Island will always be open to you. But...I don't want to make you feel obligated to leave everything you've ever known behind." I was wary now, not knowing how he would react. "You seem to like it here. Sure the other serpents are....less than inviting, but they can come around. And you don't like water...we have a lot of that. So much so that even the fish get tired of it." The attempt at the light-hearted humor didn't do much.
I eyed him warily again. "Do you really want to do this?"

// At least a huge man/snake-eating monster didn't show up. That'd be bad. =D And quite interesting. . . The sad thing is, I have no idea what I want Jaydn to do. -.- I kind of need to figure that out, don't I?//
[Jaydn:]
I shrugged. "I don't know," I whispered. Yes, I wanted to go to the island that Azen had been talking about almost non-stop; I wanted to get away from all the people who had never seemed to accept me, that would glare at me if I tried to join in on a conversation. To get away from Shunji. But, part of me wanted to stay. I disliked the heat and sun, yes, but I loved walking through the desert at night. I knew there would probably be sand on the island, but there'd also be a lot of water. That was definitly something I could do without.
I sighed and walked a few feet away, back towards the horses, and sat down. I pulled my knees up to my chest, staring out at the seemingly endless desert sand.

//lol, and you thought Sev had weird ideas. So do you want me to go ahead and post or wait until you figure out something. I'm not quite sure what to post either. No big rush.//
