Off the beaten trails [Invite Only / Jojo] (Scouting)

[Xhy Lynn]

Xhy Lynn Xhy was standing by the mission board in the town not to far from the makeshift camp, which was primarily tents, and few merchant stall here and there, while being boarder by wooden stakes in the ground along the outside. Watching the other adventures walk by in their groups and parties ready to head out on there own adventure coming in and out of the town, back and forth from the camp as well, Xhy stood there silently waiting to see her green haired friend. This was the rendezvous point as agreed upon when both of them had last contacted each other, The camp seemed busy with all the people walking by each one seeming to never to have the same face, almost like an infinite amount of people being there. Xhy was unsure if she should actually do this, the last time she met Jojo she only recently began to recall the ending memories of their first meeting. Xhy blushed a light shade of pink, then shook her head causing one of her pony tails to come out due to being tied loosely unlike normal. Quickly tying it back up and going back to looking around for a girl with long green hair. Hoping to get the chance to wave her over should she appear in front of her and be able to say, "Hello Jojo." with a small smile on her face as her friend would approach. Xhy just stood there silently, not attracting attention besides a few side glances before those who had glanced at her then continued along their way, waiting. ~ Health = 100% ~ Mana = 100% Xhy Lynn @jojo 265 :Word count Xhy Lynn | Bard Dancer | Artisan

Jojo dressed in her usual white outfit similar to a full body straitjacket while having availability to move freely. It was among the joys of the uniform she wore and at the same time she only grinned with a smile and eased herself enough while looking through her messages. This message here was enough for her to knowingly blush and even second-guess what exactly was going on in this mission. She happened to recall the boar disaster between herself and three others while Jojo good well understood that the fiasco before that was like cream topping to all of this. She sighed lightly some more, looking at the crowds before her in the field, she sighed mightily before finally walking towards where her green blip of the mini-map had appeared and it was there that she knew her friend was waiting for her. Still Jojo was surprised the girl had asked her along.

Popping her neck she had been flagged down, waving back while carrying her stave with a giggle to her lips. “Hey Xhy, how is all the boar wounds treating you?” Indeed, she brought that up rather than their first contact with each other because that night was far more awkward as she had left in such a way that she truly was not a friend if one were to judge that. Jojo hated that side of herself, the deserter side that will leave at the drop of a hat. Truly that was nothing more than something she already understandably knew. Jojo calmed herself, looking at her friend more now while kindly looking at that pink haired girl in kind. The pink hair was like Jojo’s, blowing in the wind as it did so while she eased herself. “Xhy, what kind of mission were you looking into anyways? Or is that a little secret as payback?” It was then she set up the party and the invite over to Xhy.

Xhy Lynn Xhy looked to her friend, happy to see her well standing before her. "Its fine, I wasn't hurt too bad after all, and the reactive heal you have helped immensely at the time as well." Xhy brandished her arm and side that had been hit by the boar like it was to be shown especially for a show case, or something of the like. "Scouting, since I don't think I quite yet want to do more fighting. I have no reason to give you pay back and in fact I don't remember too much of anything you could have done to make me want pay back." Xhy titled her head towards the end of her words, putting a finger on her cheek as if trying to recount something, Xhy as well accepted the party invite that Jojo had sent. Ready to get out of the town, or camp as it was called, and head towards the mountainous northern regions of Sarum, Xhy took a few steps forward before turning her head to look at Jojo and smile softly, motioning her forward, if her friend wasn't already following behind her. "I was to scout out the northern regions, where its mountainous, so there will be a lot of climbing and rocks. If you don't mind too much, considering you are the other half of this party currently. Also I was hoping to be able to paint just a tab, to maybe use as references or for the plants around." Xhy showed a small smile, and waits for Jojo's reply and thoughts. ~ Health = 100% ~ Mana = 100% Xhy Lynn @jojo 260 :Word count Xhy Lynn | Bard Dancer | Artisan

Jojo smiled when listening to these replies, feeling the cool air breeze by them at the board of missions on this Sarum Expedition. Truly this was not entirely among the better ideas she held in her mind while moving forwards with her feet, following the girl as she listened to those explanations enough for her to hear Xhy say there wasn’t anything to payback for, as well as how the arm and side were healed well. Jojo was happy to hear her healing then did not suck as bad as she thought it did. Of course when it came to their partner at that time, healing with that skill just was terrible in all senses. She truly was a failure for a medic then, however now was different thankfully because she had all the necessary skills to make a proactive healing among many other things. Thereby she followed happily behind the girl.

Yet it was then she heard about paining, and flowers, and a few other things as well. This surprised her as she blinked at the girl and smiled kindly. She shrugged, “I don’t mind climbing at all. In fact I like the thoughts of mountain climbing quite a bit. However, if you are going to paint then I think it will be in our best bet to assure our safety first before you pull out the painting equipment.” She smiled, thinking to herself how safety was a high concern for her while at the same time fun and excitement still had to be enjoyed as well. Her eyes looked at the girl and then up at the mountain thinking back to the real world when the most dangerous mountain came to mind and she smiled with a giggle, “Reminds me of K2 in a way. That mountain over in Pakistan that no one has actually successfully climbed to the top in the winter route.”

Xhy Lynn Xhy when hearing about safety and that it being important had nodding along and smiling slightly. "I hope it won't be that dangerous, K2 is the second highest mountain on earth, I hope these resemble more of the Urals, I went hiking on that mountain range once during a summer trip, although I was alone, and hiked on certain portions of the range.." Xhy said, pushing away the thought of how her trip alone to the mountain range in western Russia had actually gone. She had hopes it would be pleasant with a friend. Xhy stopped at the exit of the camp, looking over her shoulder at Jojo. "Before you leave do you need any last second things?" Xhy wanted to make sure Jojo didn't need anything else, seeing as Xhy was prepared and had a few old canvases with her to use if or when she got the chance to paint and work a bit on crafting, but it would help give a detailed description if she could paint a bit of the scenery in the mountains. waiting on her friend'd reply, Xhy turned around fully towards Jojo, making sure she would be looking at her face when she would answer Xhy. depending on how Jojo would answer she would insist that they go back and quickly find a stall that had what was needed or Xhy would nod and smile before turning around to continue on up north and onto the trail that would get them to the mountains eventually, so that they count scout up there and report any findings they had later on when they had finished and made it back to camp. ~ Health = 100% ~ Mana = 100% Xhy Lynn @jojo 277 :Word count Xhy Lynn | Bard Dancer | Artisan

Jojo was actually surprised to hear the girl had actually done some hiking or in itself she only smiled more now while she eased up and giggled lightly when looking at these different things. Of course this was before finally she perked her eyebrow at the girl and smiled, “I do not think I have any actual experience with rock climbing.” Then she recalled her little trip a couple days ago where she actually explored the western region with Kumori, “Well I actually do have a little experience I guess. I went climbing some cliffs west of here in exploration with Kumori. It was actually pretty surprising that the guy actually found me. I was out of water and food at the time and was about to die from starvation. He helped me at the time.” Indeed, her mind went back on that pervert, thinking on how she still owed her life to him twice now. Once for the boars and again for the cliffs.

Jojo shrugged though, walking towards the trail and following after Xhy with a smile, “I think I have everything I need, at least as far as materials and such. Now how long do you think we will be exploring this region and taking samples?” She was quite excited about the number of things that could go on in this trip, figuring that the best of them were still to come while others were in the back of her waiting mind and at the ready. That much was for the most certain. Nonetheless, she moved forwards and would follow Xhy out of the camp and towards the northbound trail, holding her stave like a walking stick to possibly ease and aid her travel in the most basic of ways. Surprisingly Jojo was well enough to look around and smiled, thinking on how the nature here was far more harmonious than the actual beginner city.

Xhy Lynn Xhy nodded. "I hope to be no longer then a day or two, considering it is just the two of us, it shouldn't be too long to paint and to explore a general expanse of the mountains." Xhy vocalized her hopes to Jojo, then continued along her way to the path that would lead them to the mountains so they could scout and fulfill their mission. Xhy looked up towards the mountains, and started feeling the path they where following curve up towards to very mountain Xhy wanted to paint. Xhy would choose to paint it when they came closer up, seeing as it would do her much better to do so then rather than now. Xhy looked back to Jojo, thinking about when they had met she played a song. "Would you like to hear another song? One I had made while in the previous world? I can play while we walk, it can make the time go faster." Xhy placed her right hand on the bridge of her Lute, waiting for Jojo's reply and if she did want to hear another song by Xhy herself or not. Should her friend say yes, she would take the Lute form its place on her back and tune it for a moment before getting ready to play the melody, and hum along with it. If not she would let the Lute stay of her back and continue to walk up the path before she choose that they should leave the path and explore and look at the nature as they past it, making a record to report back with. ~ Health = 100% ~ Mana = 100% Xhy Lynn @jojo 268 :Word count Xhy Lynn | Bard Dancer | Artisan

Jojo looks up the mountain, following after the girl calmly enough while steadily enough she wondered what all the timing here would be like to paint the mountain. Indeed, she truly thought making records of this time in this realm, or even the time just setting up here, led her to thinking on the delicate delights there could be made for all of this. She eased herself, thinking lightly on this as her eyes were watching about and sure enough she popped her neck once more and eased herself to looking at this girl and then also looking thoroughly at the mountain. Thinking back at her time in the real world, she remembered playing the cello among the many things she did as a kid and easy enough her eyes went onto that lute, looking at it almost like a small and warped violin in its own way and form. That was formidable to her thinking at the least.

Then her friend suggested a song, a song she had worked on in the real world, which led Jojo to smiling, and nodding kindly in the same effort, “Sure, I don’t mind you playing a song. I think it would actually be pretty interesting to hear what kind of musician you are. Cause you do know, that a way to tell someone’s true intentions in their soul for a musician is to listen to their music.” She smiled, almost teasingly so as she followed after, watching and would await patiently to hear the music possible. Granted, she kind of wanted to play some music too and wondered truly what her kind of play would be and if her ear for music had traveled with her into this world. If anything, her taste for food and cooking did, which lead to hoping musical flavor and skill did the same. Only a chance would tell though, if all went well.

Xhy Lynn Xhy smiled and pulled the Lute from her back, she picked at the strings and tuned her instrument accordingly. As she Began to strum the first few chords Lyrics had popped into her head, unlike it had while she was still in Lodon just making it. Xhy played on and instead of humming alone she quietly sung. "As the winds shall pass, Let the storms blow cold. The summer air has gone away, soon our time together will grow old. Falling leaves cover our cross, and we will lose our way. "Here and now as we travel on, to a distant land to stay. Our weary hearts continue to beat, as we seek for the dawn. The trees in the wind begin to sway, we shall see another day by these meadow-sweet." Xhy finished off her last strum softly, and turned around backwards holding her Lute out to Jojo."Do you wish to try? You once said you played the cello." Xhy smiled at her friend hoping her performance had been nice, she wasn't the best singer in her opinion but she could carry a decent tune at least. Xhy again gestured to her Lute seeing if Jojo would take it and try to play, Xhy would like to hear her friend play as well rather then being the only one. If Xhy could find another bard she's make a duet and play in the streets sometime. Not to make money but to perhaps share her music, which she's hardly done before. not many have hear her sing either. ~ Health = 100% ~ Mana = 100% Xhy Lynn @jojo 258 :Word count Xhy Lynn | Bard Dancer | Artisan

Jojo listened to the music, hearing it with the divinity to her ears as she only smiled with a jovial smile and kind heart as her ears easily picked up the individual sounds of the musical sounds. Her eyes closing while walking along, listening and easily enough she smiled more and enjoyed the pleasantries of this that much more. The music was far more than enough for her to enjoy, the music being a glimmer of elegance to her while Jojo tapped her foot in melody in the manner while still having walked along. She enjoyed the music and evenly enough the lyrics held a special meaning to her as she grinned and felt the power of both the lyrics and the music painting her insides with a delicate and more lovely manner than she could ever believe. Then she heard it slow to the close, yet her heart still beat in that lost melody.

However, nothing prepared her for the timing when Xhy actually offered Jojo to play, and she would nod, smiling kindly with the same manner as she only smiled and grinned, “I would like that.” Accepting the lute, she plucked each string for the sound, hearing the sound and adjusting as needed with the tone she was going to make as she followed after. In due course she would begin to play the lute with a strum quality, making crescendos and harmonic downfalls for a very dark entrance in the center of the play. Whispering in her mind ~I warn you, this song might be dark~ as it was a song of her past, the one memory she holds onto more deer than anything else in her life. No matter what happens in the game, she won’t ever forget this memory as it fueled her passion that much more.

“In the darkest of nights, we are surrounded by black knights. The calling of death and blood, the pooling of oils that flood. A sparking ignition to light a fire’s ammunition. Frail body and mind, bitter soul to the blind. Death of one and two, buried in the ground of blue. Here rests…” Jojo’s voice slowly choked yet the music she played continued on, the lyrics in them finished by her thoughts in telepathy ~mother and father…~ The iconic death of the song also was the matching pace for the song’s imagery of parental death. This was a song of her making that rested in the heart, it was all that mattered to her nonetheless. However, she knew lyric wise she was not all that great, musical lyrics were not her strong suit yet the play and vocalization of it made short work of her faults by those two very gods given strengths.

Xhy Lynn Xhy nodded, not minding that it maybe be a darker song. None the less Jojo played well, and it was beautiful and mesmerizing, she felt the passion building and the sorrow flow, she heard her friend utter the words 'Mother and Father' in telepathy, it worked well but she thought there might be a reason. Not wanting to push anything negative out she left it alone til Jojo might bring it up if she ever wanted to. "Touching, I like it." Xhy said, smiling softly at Jojo. She held her hands out for her Lute, seeing as they were near the point where she wanted to go off the trail and up a lesser mountain and explore around there to find a good spot in which should could paint. When ever Jojo gave back her Lute she strapped it on her back, beside where she kept her scythe like always. Xhy turned forwards and pointed to the mountain that ran up along half of the size of the larger back most one. "I want to paint from on that mountain if possible, seeing as I will be able to get angle I want most." Xhy stepped away from the path that lead towards the mountain she wanted to paint, and its rocky face. Not looking behind her too see if Jojo followed, Xhy just trusted her friend would come along. Xhy knew there would probably be a rough path on the mountain somewhere She and Jojo would have to just find it. ~ Health = 100% ~ Mana = 100% Xhy Lynn @jojo 252 :Word count Xhy Lynn | Bard Dancer | Artisan

Jojo would look at the lute, feeling her heart and sorrows slowly wash away as the melody had ended. It was a good feeling maybe, a feeling that all her pain and guilt would be gone for good. That was one thing to hope for at the least, as she would hand the lute back to its rightful owner, the girl she had sung and played for all in one. Truly was not something she had actually planned to do just hours ago. In fact most of what she planned to do today as a little excavation from some of the rocks while documenting plant life as well. However this was easy enough of a job that her eyes easily watched the girl, watching her and following that gaze to one of the nearby piles of rock and dirt of a nearby mountain. As clever as it was Jojo easily took notice and would only happily come along with hopes of actually getting some of the plants around her.

The goal of these plants were to be utilized as pieces of a journal long enough to preserve and document them. That was the key hope of this mission in her eyes while she moved ahead and with a delightful notice her body went off of the path and after the girl as she wondered curiously just what was in that mind of her. As it would seem, she easily enough held a good fortitude of planning in mind and whatnot. When passing by stranger mountain plants she took care to pull them free from the earth their roots clung to and place flatly in a book with a hearty shut. “Painting does sound nice, however if you spot any lovely flowers or strange ore deposits let me know. I am planning to collect data from those kinds of things for our archives back in the city.” As sure as she was about her plan, it still had a lot riding on it, as flowers were normally scarce on mountains like this.

Xhy Lynn Xhy nodded to Jojo, thinking of what types of flowers could grow in a rocky terrain, yet she didn't remember much of her time in the Urals, not that it bothered her she wasn't exactly forgetful but she didn't spend time remembering many details that she later deemed un-important. Xhy continued on the path and took a left upon seeing a small path leading up the mountain she had wanted to climb, and there were semi large boulders strewn here and there along the path way as well. "Lets go up and see what we can see of the larger mountain from this one. Does that sound good? There might be a cave or something along this one as we travel up it to get a better view." Xhy said to Jojo while facing the direction she wanted to go. Looking around where the smaller path formed from the main one Xhy waited on Jojo to see what she would say. Xhy leaned against a small almost upright boulder for a second, feeling it shift against her weight. Xhy had nearly fallen over along with the rock that seemed have been merely laying against the ground rather then stuck in it. Xhy looked at the rock and shrugged, waiting for Jojo to catch up with her along the path.  Xhy was ready to climb up but chose to wait for her friend to get ready to hike the mountain, that looked like it had problems with rocks falls, but didn't seem to have much else dangers to it currently. ~ Health = 100% ~ Mana = 100% Xhy Lynn @jojo 259 :Word count Xhy Lynn | Bard Dancer | Artisan

Jojo made due with thought, thinking on this with a kind of elevation to her thought pattern as the individual before her had easily enough started to speak again as well. It was a nice speaking tone, and yet Jojo knew that mountains all held very changing and ranged from highly kind to very dangerous weather patterns. It was especially nasty in all senses of the text if the weather became bad while the two of them were out. Her eyes scanning the ground and sky in introvert patterns. “If we find a cave, I say we make that our base camp while adventuring across the mountains for your art of them and other research. The cave will provide all the shelter we need, and possibly some food as well.” She kept looking around, unable to find a cave herself but the flowers she found were exquisite. Such beauty and unique quality inside just one flower was enough for her to enjoy this day more.

Jojo knelt down, plucking the flower yet the pain receptors in her hand immediately went haywire with tinges of pain causes her to drop the flower. With a better look, the flower was more like a thistle with a blooming top. Her eyes looking at it more securely as she opened up her book and with a lift of the flower by its petals she dropped it in the book before closing it tightly shut. “That one hurt.” She exclaimed to herself, shaking her hand as she followed after, looking at the mountain that her friend was going to draw and smiled with her eyes on it. She did notice the rocks though were not all too stable. Jojo moved to the cliff face and peered at it diligently as she started to test the wall before climbing. “Most of it is loose. Be careful when climbing the right most side of the face, I think that is where most of the unsteady rocks are.” With her giving her warning she began her own climbing, and without climbing gear it is rather unsafe.

Xhy Lynn Xhy nodded and watched as Jojo pulled a flower petal from a interesting flower that had small thorns all wound it like a thistle, before coming up to the rocky cliff near where Xhy was standing. Xhy mimicked her friend, only off to the side of her. Xhy tested several spots within her reach to see if they could sustain her weight and not crumble. Finding a few that were suitable to her test of pushing or nearly hanging from it, Xhy began her assent up the mountain side. Xhy stayed at a study pace, making sure each place could stay for a bit while she should a new spot to continue upwards with. Xhy kept an eye out for Jojo, in case a rock slipped she didn't want her friend to fall in the slightest. She hoped the same in turn for herself with Jojo, that Jojo was also being careful and looking out if Xhy were to fell too. Soon there where nearing the top of a ledge in where they could look out from and see the majority of the mountainous region before their eyes. "Almost there! Then I can paint and you can look for a cave." Xhy said, a little out of breath from the strenuous climbing Xhy reached the edge, she got in a stable posting to swing herself up, once she had swung one leg up the other leg easily followed. Standing up she took a look around, seeing if Jojo was on the ledge with her or still getting up on the ledge and maybe needed help. Xhy ones seeing the mountains in the distance and colours of them she couldn't help but say, "They are beautiful." She almost seemed swept away by the sight. deciding this is where she would paint. ~ Health = 100% ~ Mana = 100% Xhy Lynn @jojo 300 :Word count Xhy Lynn | Bard Dancer | Artisan

Jojo made her eyes up along the footing of the side of the mountain, climbing in excellent ease as she moved along with a steady smile and her fingers gripping with such little space. She never expected to be so good at rock-climbing like this, her fingers hosting very limited space while her feet were another story due to the shoes she wore. That was all the difference in perspective anyways. However, her climbing led herself and her friend up to the top and it was there that the breathtaking view caught, not only Xhy’s eyes, but Jojo’s as well. She looked out at that landscape in pure smiles, as she could not help but love the expanse of the area and in itself the air before her as well. It was such times like this that she only looked out at such landscape and feel purely alive, until the reality hit. She could not frown though, but the honey sweet words came from her lips, “Almost makes you forget we are stuck in an alternate reality, doesn’t it Xhy?”

Jojo sighed before moving from the position, letting the girl do her painting as Jojo would search for a cave, the trails were no good for finding cave though as she rather tried to find any sign of tracks. Animal tracks without her possessing a tracking skill led to only finding that she herself were that much worse in retrospect of this moment. She went along the rocky surfaces while breaking markers for her to know her way back. Moving herself along the ground as she edged along, feeling the ground beneath her feet before spotting the mouth of a cave, a cave with a very dark inside. She perked an eyebrow and looked in at the area, feeling the coolness from the inside as the outdoor was nice but inside the cave was so much better. She sniffed the air and once acquiring no harmful smells she knew this would be a good place to go as she went on ahead to head back to her friend’s painting position following the markers, whispering in through telepathy, ~I found a cave, and by the looks it is quite spacious too.~

Xhy Lynn Xhy nodded, and gave a soft reply. "Yes." Xhy quickly set to work bringing out her Canvas. sitting down placing it on her knees so she had a stand to put it against rather then a rock, she spent one moment drinking in the sight before she began painting. Xhy tuned out every thing and she began to mix paints, which required water and minerals. Once satisfied by one colour she set to work on another, making the lightest shades of each, to darken them with layers. Xhy dipped her brush in to the colour she would use for the sky, a light blue, since it was still early enough. She used long and flowing brush strokes to define the sky, using judging eye to outline the skyline of the mountains before her. She made sure not to apply the paint to thick, so that it would dry nicely. Xhy used a cloth to remove the paint from the brush she had just used. Bringing out a different brush she started at the base, using a soft green with a warm color to make the base be closer then where the tips of the mountains. using shorter strokes to define the base she set off painting quickly, but efficiently. Letting the painting take over. Once the base was mostly finished and needed to dry, she used the cloth to clean the brush she had used. Picking up the first brush she dipped it into the neutral coloured brown, almost an umber, that would make most of the middle section of the mountain. Xhy sectioned areas out, using medium strokes sectioning out areas where darker colours would be used to show the ridges formed in the mountains. She stopped at the line of the green, grabbing some water and rising the brush, diluting the colour so she could blend the two, once done with that she let it sit, it looked like a shell on what was to come when she added the deepening colours to make it whole.Xhy wiped the brush on the cloth cleaning it so as not to mix the darker shades at the moment. She worked from the top of the mountain down, using the darker shades in long flowing strokes to blend into the middle of the mountain. Xhy looked up to check how deep she should go, letting the mountain he her guide as she painted it. Flowing downwards she focused only on her painting, letting the colours sink in before she would paint over them with their second coat. Xhy took the Canvas off her knees that needed a break, standing up to stretch and loosen her arms before she began painting once more. Her friend Jojo came up and talked to her telepathically, Xhy nodded, replying aloud back. "I'm almost done." Xhy looked back to her painting, and settling back down placing the Canvas back down on her knees. She followed a method very similar to how she had begun painting. She worked with the sky then with the base, and fixing up the blend a bit, she then darkened the middle and top. Feeling accomplished she held it out in front of her. Seeing it in the light made her feel good, like she could do something with her crafting. ~ Health = 100% ~ Mana = 100% Xhy Lynn @jojo 548 :Word count Xhy Lynn | Bard Dancer | Artisan

Jojo had taken her ways to get back, and having heard the response that Xhy would be done soon, it was a relief but she did not want to have Xhy feel like she was rushing her. If anything, Jojo liked the idea that Xhy could perform art and music so well on an entirely separate degree from Jojo. Jojo was terrible at such things aside from music that is. She was never the greatest at being an outgoing advocate of learning. Much the opposite, she preferred to be a recluse, and that was where most of her tendencies lied. At least here in the game, she had some sentimentality to keep herself sane. Perhaps that was where all the grace went. She could not be sure but once she was within close enough range to be looking over Lynn’s shoulder and staring at the drawing, she felt her heart sink thinking to herself. “Damn she is great at art. I could never get close to that level.” She kept her eyes wide in surprise, clearly taken aback by this.

Jojo was nowhere near that kind of level, her eyes staying wide and as it so happened she relaxed herself lightly, wondering about this situation a bit more while moving herself forwards and whispering into that ear while holding back a giggle as she wanted to tease Xhy, “My my, I never knew you had that much skill.” A purr slipped from her lips, or rather it was not really a slip per say but rather intentional as she smiled more now. This was truly something of a grace as she only smiled and wondered how the reaction would be from Xhy, the flustered reaction back in the inn/tavern was delightful and sad all at once so she wondered what emotion would be put through this one as well. It was something of a natural choice as she only smiled and grinned more from the effect.

Xhy Lynn As Jojo whispered into her ear Xhy couldn't help but let a blush slip out on to her face, Xhy tired to stay still as well, but she shoulders jumped slightly not expecting Jojo to be right behind her. Xhy hear a small almost purr like sound come from Jojo. "I'm not that g-good, I think this reality makes certain skills seem better, I can't draw or paint much better then the average person from back before." Xhy shrugged trying to her blush from Jojo, Quickly, but gently fanning her art work so it would dry without spreading the paint. "So you found a cave? Shall we go look at it?" Xhy hopped up quickly, and rather flustered from Jojo being so close, She slipped the art back into her bag, behind the other canvases so the paint wouldn't smear against the bag or the other canvases. Xhy calmed herself with a quick breath in and out then turned to face Jojo, smiling softly at her friend, motioning to the way Jojo had come from. "Lead the way, I'll follow of course." Xhy took a tentative step forward, but waiting for Jojo to take the lead from her. Xhy noticed the ground had more loose rocks the seemed to have fallen from higher up, since this was only a small part of the mountain. Xhy didn't think it would be to much of a problem, although thinking back she wished she had paid more attention once they were actually alone and in the cave... ~ Health = 100% ~ Mana = 100% Xhy Lynn @jojo 254 :Word count Xhy Lynn | Bard Dancer | Artisan

Jojo only smiled, the flustered expression and reaction from Xhy was enough for her to happily enjoy it more now. Granted, when Xhy started to deny how good she was Jojo had to click her tongue with a tsk’ing sound. She shook her head in a semi disappointment however, she would only giggle more now when she saw a hint of the blush that the pink haired girl was trying to hide. It effectively was much lovelier than any that an idol could have. However, sure enough she merely smiled more and nodded when asked to lead the way to the cave she found. It was lucky that she found a cave to begin with, in her opinion anyways. Jojo continued leading the way with a simple smile on her face while taking the paths she marked with a broken twig along each of them. The sticks were in a clearly bent out of shape way so that she could follow in a nice orderly fashion.

“The cave is pretty nice. Might be a bit cooler if you aren’t used to cooler air however, the cave from what I heard had a live water system inside, fresh running and even a few white algae beds.” White algae beds were mostly unheard of back in the real world, but here in the alternate reality it clearly was something completely different, and Jojo seemed to appreciate it with a bit of urgent sense. Jojo kept walking, happily and smoothly moving in a steady path of which she only calmly and elegantly smiled more now and eased her eyes on which she watched her friend in a calmness of the moment. Once having reached the cave, the cave itself would appear bigger. The mouth of it being a double-decker bus wide, however inside were many small pockets of entrances leading to one single large cave room utilized for their needs as a living area or advance base camp. At least for the expedition as she looked around and listened for that running water, hearing it far off, “Hehe, we even have a showering area, but I do warn you that it will be cold.”
