~Taedra~

The four moved by the back streets, Emery leading the way.
Here and there a diseased wandered or ran by, on the hunt for food, but amid the scent of death, they went unnoticed, but quietly none the less.
At last they mad it to Elfreids, after travelling through every back street possible to avoid complications...
Finally they saw the tavern, the big sign over the door calling them to possible safety.
Tae motioned for the others to stay where they were and ran across the street, before knocking on the door.
a small window opened next to the door almost immediately.
"Be gone!" Came a gruff voice from within.
"Please, we are not infected, we have been travelling for days, we can pay..."
"Yeah?! And What good is that gonna do for us eh? 'case ya haddn't noticed, the world's gone mad" He snapped back.
"Well then how about extra protection, two of our number at least are skilled with weapons," she did not mean the boy, but when they saw two of the group carrying weapons, that is what they would assume.
"How am i s'posed ta know you aint infected?"
"Have any of them ever tried to have a conversation with you?"
There was a pause, she knew that they did not talk, and so did he.
"A'right, i guess you can come in then."
The door opened and the man looked out into the street, checking up and down for infected, and then he stood aside.
Tae motioned for the others to approach.
"Thank you sir," she said as she passed him.
The four walked into the tavern, ordered some drinks and some food, although options were limited as food had started to spoil, and there were no fresh deliveries these days.
Then they moved to a booth and Tae collapsed.
She had not sat down in days, and her legs were so tired.
She knew that they couldn't stay there forever, but however long they could was a blessing.

(perhaps we could meet someone to tell us about the last epidemic, and/or the wizard here??? just an idea)

Connor broke through the ranks of diseased citizens, he staggered but caught himself from falling. Connor sprinted and did not tire, his mind was much busy to even consider resting. He saw a tavern up ahead, his father had spent his evenings there. Connor saw a man looking about and begin to close the door.
"Stop!" screamed Connor, "No!!" and he put on an extra burst of speed, rushing in through the doorway and into the tavern, knocking himself unconscious on a hanging lamp his head could just reach.

~Tae and Milara~

There were screams and then someon rushed through the door, before falling to the ground unconcious. Shortly afterwards there was the sound of many bodies throwing themselves against the door and walls of the tavern.
Milara shifted closer to Taedra, who looked at the guard alarmed...
"They give up afta a bit." he shrugged.
Taedra moved closer to the boy lying on the floor, his hair was matter to his face, and he was covered in dirt and blood.
Milara came over holding her glass of water, and handed it to Tae, who flicked some of it on the boy's face.
"Get back!" he shouted as he sat up with a start, looking around wildly and pushing himself towards the wall, as another diseased threw itself at the other side, and he changed his mind about using it as protection.
"What... Where am i?" he asked, looking around.
"you're safe," Tae replied, "Thats all that matters... I'm Tae" she said, holding out her hand to help him up. "we're all safe enough for now... relax."
She helped the boy over to the table they had been sitting at, thinking that she would ask him about his situation when he calmed down a little... He reminded her of a jumpy mouse that had been through way too much for one day.
(OOC. Sorry for any toe stepping Ruralin)

IC: Connor coughed and spluttered, trying to make conversation and break the ice,
"I'm-I -I'm C-Conno-Connor," Connor said, managing to get a whole two words out.

~Emery and Davin~

Emery sat herself down on the farthest table away from Taedra and Milara, she gently set her bow down in front of her and tied her arrows down in her holster. Davin slid nervously into the chair across from her but she was too wore out to shout at him. He set his sword down on the table by Emery's bow and sipped on the water the man who owned the tavern had brought him. After a moment another boy rushed through the door and knocked himself unconcious on a lantern. Taedra seemingly being one of those people who actually cared helped the boy up and to the table she had been sitting at. Emery ignored them all and leaned back in her chair while Davin watched the newcomer who had said his name was Conner, Davin hoped he was alright he seemed in really bad shape.
"Should we go see if he's alright?" Davin asked, Emery scoffed.
"If you feel the need Dav go check on him I really could care less."
Davin rolled his eyes and stood up he walked over to stand by Tae's table.

(OOC Emery reminds me of Sera from the land before time.. Razz

)

~Milara~

Milara looked around at the people in the tavern; there were not many, and their faces showed fear and hurt.
Some stared into space, some talked, some slept at the tables.
Davin stood up and moved towards their table, leaving Emery alone.
Millie felt sorry for Emery, she didnt want to be alone, but she seemed like she was afraid to show weakness.

Millie saw an old woman, she was not distraught, wounded, or sleeping, she was looking at the child with interest in her eyes.
She smiled at Millie, and mille smiled back.

Millie slipped from the table and went to speak to this old woman, she had kind eyes and did not appear to be dangerous.

Maybe she knew what was going on.
