Ori cocks his head at Calixo. stay, play, talk, walk.
Silence. The Corsai ducks back into the shadows. Eyes wide.
run, run, they want fun.
Turning. Silky voices tumbling over each other.
where have you been brother, abandoned us for another.
Lila rushed out her hiding spot iron knife in hand, "Back away from the Corsai. Corsais. I never thought I would say that."
Calixto scowled at the Corsai. Most were easy to fight off, but this was the south sector. He didn't know what to expect anymore.
Looking over his shoulder he saw one of the humans who had come along with the others. He still didn't know her name, but remembered her as the one who was capable of a fight and remembered names fairly well.
"Heh, no way. They're looking for a fight, so I'll give 'em one."
The voices rise in pitch, a roiling mass of shadows. brother, brother, abandoned for another, lily flower, no real power. Laughter.
"No, we're giving them a fight," Lila dropped back on her right foot and entered a combative position.
"If you say so," he replied. He ran forward, attempting to push a few to the ground. These Corsai were definitely stronger than the ones in the North.
Lila pulled her knife out and began to whip it around in the Corsai. Avoiding the one kind one as best she could.
Calixto didn't know what it was, but it made him angry that the other Corsai were so cruel to the one simply wanting to talk. As he rammed his way through the group, he considered bringing the lone creature along with him. At least until he found a pack to stay with.
(Spoiler alert: the ship will likely happen so he'll just live with Ori in a cave or something lmaooooo)
(Yah!)
(THE SHIP WILL SAIL!)
As Lila whipped her knife around she cut herself on the iron. She winced in pain and continued on despite the now burning pain around the cut. It didn't take long for the pain to be through her entire arm and she could no longer fight.
Ori fought them. A whirlwind of shadow among the rest. Eventually they leave and leave their "brother" behind. The shadows seem lighter somehow.
(The funny thing is that I PMed Ca1 like: Man I miss doing rps with Calion
and then this happened and I died from joy)
Calixto nodded his thanks to Lila and went on his way. He felt that he didn't need her help, but was happy she had been there anyways. A few steps and he turned to the Corsai who seemed to already know him.
"You comin' or what?"
Lila nodded back. She held her injured arm, it felt as if it were on fire. She began to walk back as she murmured, "Stupid iron allergies."
Ori looked the the Malchai cautiously. come with you, i come too. More of a question than an answer.
"Yes you. You coming?" he asked impatiently. There was something about the Corsai he found intriguing.
Lila looked back to the Corsai and Calixto, "Are you two coming or what? I'm not waiting forever!"
Calixto had planned to leave quietly without having to deal with sappy goodbyes, but he supposed it wouldn't hurt.
"Yeah, yeah, cool your jets," he responded, walking back toward the building.
Ronan pushed up from his spot where he was sat on the cot. He felt hungry, but he didn’t trust them alone with Calla. Avi could watch her, but he was still wary about leaving the both of them alone with the humans and Malchai. He decided on pacing around to cool his nerves.
Ori followed softly, clipping through shadows. He wanted to know the Malchai better, he was intriguing.
Lila walked back to the temporary base clutching her arm. She had put the knife away.
He entered the building again only to get a firm talking to from Karina.
"You were going to leave without so much as a goodbye, weren't you? I can't- ohhhhh my god, how did a Corsai get in here?!" she exclaimed seeing Ori. Calixto huffed in irritation.
"Him? He's with me. Quite harmless ironically," he said trying to get the girl to calm herself.
Lila reached into her bag and pulled out some bandages. She wrapped them around the cut and winced. It would be an hour until the pain fully subsided. She muttered to herself, "Stupid Lila. Stupid iron allergies."
Ronan, upon seeing the Corsai that had come in, grew quickly alert. He snapped the violin from its case, a sharp glint in his eyes. “You brought a fucking Corsai in here?!” He snapped.
~~
Faye’s eyes widened when she saw the three come in. From what she knew about Corsai, they didn’t really have free thought. The only thing they knew was killing. But how did Calixto bring one here? Where were the rest? She looked over at Lila, now growing worried. “Lila, what happened?”
"Corsais," Lila responded, "The one over there is unique. They seem pretty nice."
AVI watched them uneasily, one hand on her lyre case. SHe didnt trust it. Corsai weren’t friendly.
Ori stepped back at the threats, finding comfort in the shadows, eyes shifting uneasily. corsai, goodbye, ori, no story. Not attacking.
Lila turned to the Corsau, "Is your name Ori?"
“A Corsai with a name?” Ronan said with disbelief. He could handle having humans around, maybe even some Malchai. But Corsai? It was insane.
