Rellik sat down next to her, wondering if she was of the weaker kind, Rellik had seen demons get chopped in half and live without treatment. Given that he was the one who had chopped them half. He wondered what would happen to her.
"Herbs" answered Rellik, puzzled and then "oh you mean the healing plants, umm... No, I only know the one's you can eat" he said pointing to a solitary leaf growing on the forest floor.
He pulled it up, revealing a white bulb that was the leafs roots "See this is a leek, it's wild onion" he said as he handed it to her, though he suspected she already knew what it was if she knew what herbs were.

She looked at him and sighed, "Well, I guess I'll have to just deal with the d**n bullet in my side. It hurts, but I'll live. I've had worse." She said mostly to herself though.
She sighed again and then started to get up. "Lets get back so I can at least get some sleep." She said taking to the trees and leaping from branch to branch of each tree.
"Do you want to have something to sleep in or do you rather to sleep under the stars?" She asked when they started to get close to the camp.

Well sorry, Thought as he followed her, who had insisted on running again but it's your own fault for holding back, and how do you expect me to know how to deal with wounds? I'm not like these earth creatures, just one bullet can hurt them so badly, a pity really.
Rellik set down beside the girl, he had lagged a bit on the trick and was slightly out of breath, would be at least a week of decent eating before all of his muscle mass built back up. He spent a few moments catching his breath while she talked.
"Sleep? At night? Are you crazy, that's when everything happens! I was going to sack at least one of these human towns tonight!" said Rellik exasperatedly...

She noticed he was watching her like she was weak. "I have a question... Do you think of me as a weak person?" She asked, just getting to the point of her question. "Cause if I remember correctly, I was the one you beat you in a fight and would've killed you if it wasn't for... for... well just cause I d**n felt like it." She finished.
What had gotten into her? Why was she feeling like this? She wasn't looking for anyone and didn't plan to anytime soon. Not only that, her parents insisted to do a wedding for her without her premission. So why was she acting all... Girlie?
She shook it off and then stood. "And sleeping at night is better than during the day. I would know, I've had a lot of training." She said turning to the fire and then sitting. Her side was bothering her but she didn't really noticed the pain. It felt more like a child poking her all of the time.
"What do you need in town? I can get it easy rather than having you sack the town. You know, that's the one reason why people hate your kind so much. You destroy things and such." She said getting an attitude. She decided to just act nasty than all formal and get her feelings mixed in the mess she was already in.

"I don't know about weak, it just seems like you don't see whats in front of you, like your trying to think about someone else while someone slashes a saber at your throat. I don't think your weak just..." I wonder what happens if I say pretty or delicate right now, humans like those sort of things right?"delicate" finished Rellik, delicately.
"A fight, you mean the one just now?" asked Rellik putting his finger curiously to his lips, So why am I acting like I did wen I was a kid now?"And I still like the night better, makes me feel..." Rellik drifted off, not quite able to put his finger on the power he felt at night.
Like being half a demon doesn't matter, like I really can kill any other warrior that dares to attack me. Like no one can see who I really am in the dark, just a moonlit silhouette to embody your fear. Like a real demon...
"Feel like I have the advantage" finished Rellik after a short pause.
I never know the advantage, my whole life I've been outnumbered and crippled...
Rellik stopped coming in from his thinking "Well for one I need bullets for this" he said reaching into his coat and pulling free his large pistol "and I usually carry some dried meat in here" he continued padding a large but empty pocket on his right side "I need three new good throwing knifes too" continuing, padding himself on the chest "And, well other things" he said not able to think of everything at the moment.

She turned when he called her delicate, but she was blushing. No one called her delicate before. "I am always thinking of someone else when I am in a fight, it's how I am... Though, I think I'll get killed one day from it." She said staring into the fire. "But I guess that time will come sooner or later.. now won't it." she said looking up at him again.
Why did he start acting different? He wasn't acting like he use to, all high and mighty if you will. Maybe he changed? She asked, but soon she shook it off. A demon can't change, you can't trust them. Her mind was saying, but her heart was saying other wise
"Well, if you rather have it that way then I won't argue with you. I know how it feels when you feel at an advantage at a curtain time of day or whatnot." She said kind of having a flash back.
"I will take you into town and get what you need, but I really don't want to run into trouble, I try to keep out of it." She said getting up and preparing to head to town. "We might as well go before the sun rises. I like traveling in the dark if I'm going to be in a human territory." She said packing a couple of things before they were headed off.
"I am sorry if I got a bit... b*tchy." She said as they started to take off to the town.

Rellik turned to the girl "I really think you should go back and rest, you don't look so good. I really don't mind being alone, actually I prefer it, I've been alone for a long time, it doesn't bother me" Rellik stopped, he really should go off on his own by now, what in the world was compelling this girl to keep him around anyway.
"Speaking of which, what is your name, I don't remember asking?" asked Rellik, stopping.
Great the pains are back thought Rellik as he felt the phantom limb pains start in where his left wing should have been It's because I want to fly, I want to go, make sure she doesn't get hurt again, because then it's my fault. Was ensues everywhere my kind goes, especilly me. Lone demons are a magnet for trouble, sooner or later even more powerful opponents will show up...
Rellik put his hand back to where the pain was and rubbed the scarred skin absent mindedly, he could feel it's grotesque texture even through the thick traveling robe, he winced as the pain shot up again. The pain was making him angst for a fight now...

She turned around and curtsied, "I'm Anarante... And you did ask, or rather I asked you your name and I'm not sure if you remember that." She said with a smile.
She looked up at the sky and then at her wound, "I'll be fine.. I have been in much worse pain or situations. And you're not the first demon I've run into on my journey. I have been hunting either your kind or a vampire. I have a bone to pick with him." She said wondering when she would find him and when she should start looking for him again.
I can't do much with a bullet in my side... I have to get it healed before anything else can go on. She wasn't sure if she would be able to find the herbs she needed, but she would have to find them to get the bullet out and heal the wound. If she could do that then she would be like a brand new Elf.
"I rather not let you go alone. I can help and get things that I need in town as well." She said again, with a smile.

"Looking for someone huh? Well I can't say I know any other demons, or vampires for that matter, I don't even remember who controls the underworld anymore" said Rellik, it was true, Rellik had been no more than a wandering force for all these years.
He didn't care about such things as meeting people or politics. Not only that but Rellik had no one to ask about such things, no people to talk to, up till now. But this won't last long, shes far too good looking and well-held to have friends who'll take well me to. I think she said she was a princess too, which probably means if I follow her home there might be some sort of royal guard that'll try to purge me. Not the first time that's happened. Purge. Bad.
"Why don't you trust me on my own?" asked Rellik confusedly, did she not trust him, why?

Anarante looked at him when he spoke. "Yes, well I thought you were the one that killed my little brother... But you got lucky." She said in a distance voice. She still blamed herself for the death of her brother. If he didn't go off alone and waited, then she would have been there to help him out.
She came back and had a frown on her face. She wanted to find the person who took the one she was very close to out of her life. But she had a feeling she was going to need help. But how was she going to explain to her father and mother that she was working with a demon? Things she hunted and killed when needed in a battle...
"Huh? No, just that I need to go into town and why not go together?" She said a bit out of it now. "Also, neither of us are in any type of shape for another fight, so if we work together then we can beat them." She said a bit more cheery.
She was putting on a face now, she wasn't showing what was wrong. She was trying to figure out how she was going to do this thing. If she should just leave him there or take him with her for the rest of her journey. Why though? What makes me want to take him with me anyways? Cause he could help me, he could search with me...

Rellik gave her a sharp look, you wanted to go to sleep a second ago, your trying to keep me from killing the humans. But oh well I suppose, not much choice in the matter, but if they ask for this money thing again I'm going to loose it for real. Where in the world do ylou even get this paper from?
Rellik scoffed slightly "I am always fit for a fight" he said proudly jerking his head upwards to show how tough he was "And besides these humans aren't much to speak of, we took out all of those armed ones before easy-" Rellik stopped there, he noticed she still wasn't looking too well "You know the offer I made before, the one to carry you, still stands..."
Again I wonder what's wrong with her, were not getting very far with her bleeding all over the place. Speaking of which, I think this is the longest I've ever spent with anyone since, well forever. I wonder why she's keeping me around....

She gave him a warm smile. "I will probably take up that offer soon." She said a bit tired. She needed to get into town to get what she needed to heal the wound. "And yes we did take them down... I just wished I had acted better rather than worry so much about y-- Everything around me." She changed it.
Mother and father will not approve of him if I bring him home. But I feel like I can't leave him, like he needs someone to be with..
She turned to the forest that would lead them to the town and started to slowly walk that way. "We don't need money, I have my ways of getting away with things." She said with a devious smile. If there was one thing she liked best about being an elf, it was when she could get anyone to give her what she wanted without stealing or paying for it. "So, if you are thinking that we need the money, you must think again." She grinned. She had never acted this way before, maybe it was the loss of blood or maybe she did like him and was having a good time.
Maybe he can help me find the vermin I'm looking for that took my little brother.

"So you kill them? That's what I do." said Rellik simply, flicking the hilt of his saber so that it gave a menacing ting.
"Anyway, I'm not used to fighting alongside other people, I'm something of a lone wolf. I'm used to doing everything alone, I don't know if I can raze a village if someone is with me" said Rellik scratching the back of his head.
Of course this was a lie, Rellik was trying to get the girl to hang back for this one, having someone with him for once wouldn't make him a worse fighter. Perhaps he would have to adjust to new tactics, but in the end more people didn't matter.
Rellik stopped as they came to the town, it was nestled some distance below them, visible and glowing with a few late-night lights.

She turned to him, "No I do not kill them. I use magic." She said stopping at the edge of town. She needed to hurry before she was found out or her parents decided to come out and look for her.
"I'm not one to fight along side with men, I think they are to stuck up and have a problem with their egos and pride. So your not the only one. But I a--" She paused for a minute and then listened in the distance.
She took her hood and put it over her head hiding her pointed ears. "Lets go so I can get the bullet out and then get back to what I was out here for." She said walking into town now.
"You can tag along with me on my journey, but it's up to you." She said to him while he was next to her.

"I don't know, I still don't know why you picked me up, but like I said before I'm a lone wolf. I don't travel with people. Anyway, I don't think you would want to travel with me, I have a lot of enemies" he said in a simple tone shrugging as they walked down the sloping hill, into the town.
When they got a bit closer to the town, within the distance that there might be people living at, Rellik watched the girl draw her hood up. He didn't know what this was fore, but he figured he should do his pre-battle rituals too. Rellik pulled his saber, sheath and all from the belt at his said and held it in both of his hands. He then unsheathed the sword by and inch, pushing up on the guard of the sword with his thumb. Then he pressed his thumb down onto the small exposed portion of the blade, cutting it.
This was a sadistic habit of his, somehow he just liked the way it felt, pain before the fighting even started, and thought it made him look cool.
"So how does this magic of yours work?"
