Wizard Angst [for Satra!]

[Tigeress]

Though she tried to pretend otherwise, Ayanami was probably a 'damsel in distress'. In that she always tried to attain feats a little bit too much for her fragile form, and ended up in quite the predicaments. Sadiki was always there to help her out of them, though. She smiled at the dissapearing form of the humanoid female and began to head in the direction of the armory as well.

"Okay, let's look there! I like the weapons too." She imagined herself wielding one like her mother, but she didn't know if she'd be able to handle it well. Maybe something dainty, someday. She was too little right now. She noticed the bat mix trying to keep up with the siblings' easy gait and frowned sympathetically.

"You can fly if it'd make things easier, I'll just run!" That tended to hut a bit when she ran on hard surfaces, but it wasn't all that bad really.

Sadiki turned his head at the conversation when it switched to being directed at him. "Eh? I'm sure you can." It was hard to tell whether the statement was meant to be sarcastic, or if he just couldn't figure out anything better to say than to confirm the other male's statement. He had to keep training to be stronger, because as they grew he knew his family would become harder and harder to protect, Nami and Levi especially.

"To the armory, then." His pace had picked up, he knew the place inside out and so decided to lead the band of merry followers. He kept a careful eye on the interactions between the two, less the bat mix decide Nami was an evil ninja or somesuch. Though she was probably the farthest thing from it, naive little girl.

"No, it's okay, I'll keep up," he informed. He just moved a small ways away and took to flapping his wings and flying for a few feet when he fell behind.

"What kind of weapons do you like?" he asked the girl, "I like the rapiers and stuff. Sasha doesn't seem too interested in them, but I think he likes the way they shine and stuff." He looked at her, staring a bit more than was polite. He also looked at Sadiki. They were both very interesting. The glassy girl and the human boy. It wasn't too long before they'd arrived.

"Sasha!" he called, then corrected himself, "I mean, Lieutenant Sasha! I have found a band of friendly wanderers! They're helping me find you!" Was he even here? He turned to his companions, unsure if they wanted to play along or not. "We could make camp here. The Night creeps in on stealthy haunches and will be upon us shortly and, uh, Witches and Ogres and Axe Murderers will be on the loose. But if we build camp and a fire and sing songs and stuff, we'll be okay." Maybe they should get the axes off the walls and into their camp, too? If there were axe murders loose, surely they would not be safe on their own.

[Sorry that took forever. >> Andrei is a difficult muse to make cooperate.]

[Not a problem love! And LOL @ your hummingbird caption]

The doe smiled brightly when Andrei offered to keep up, still worried that he was being too kind for her benefit. She knew how hard it was to keep up sometimes, she'd be in a lot of discomfort trying to walk at Sadiki's speed. Normally he was more attentive about it, but he was moody today.

"I like rapiers too, maybe a Khanda or Naginata." She pondered being able to wield either, the opportunity seeming a little far away. Sadiki was much closer than she, though he seemed to prefer magical combat. She turned away and then turned back at Andrei's stare, turning a little red under her cheeks again though she wasn't entirely sure why. She simply continued to give him friendly eyes as they arrived at their destination.

Sadiki was stationed in front of the door, watching the other two curiously. When the bat started to call out for this 'Lieutenant', he wondered if anyone would actually appear. Probably not. But oh well, it was still interesting, and Nami seemed to be having a good time. He kind of had the urge to go do something he probably wasn't supposed to, though.

"Lieutenant Sasha, you can come out! My name is Ayanami, and my brother is Sadiki, charges of Captain Andrei!" She looked up and down, back and forth, around and about... but didn't see anyone. Shiny things caught her attention but she tried not to get too distracted by it. "Should we wait for him here? It seems pretty safe, anyway." She smiled eagerly... until he got to the axe murderer part. "Are there really? Inside the palace?" Eyes went wide and exploded into rays of color as the light hit them, making her wince and close them more.

Gods, that girl was so naive sometimes. If there were any axe murderers in the palace... oh no wait, the last one had been assassinated. He hadn't seen many people walking about with axes recently, that was for sure. "You two get to that, I'll take first watch of the evening." He didn't know if he was going to stick around or not. Sadly, his obligations to keep Nami safe meant that he probably would endure their goody-goodyness for as long as it took for someone's parents to come looking for them. Or something.

Nami looked up at her brother quizically. "Okay, umm... Andrei, what does Lieutenant Sasha look like? You should tell 'Iki, so that he doesn't accidentally try to fight him off or something." She giggled at the thought, and turned to see Sadiki giving her an exasperated stare. He hated that nickname. If anyone else called him that he'd go straight for the nutshot.
