Everything is strange.

The people, the world, it all feels wrong and right at the same time; and crowded, crushing down on the delicate lady like a stone. She raises her hands to her head, unable to block the silence that now reigns, the dullness of the world around her. There is magic, yes, but it is mortal and small, paltry. She hardly recognizes it to compare to hers, she thinks, as she runs her hand over the star-shaped scar on her forehead, hidden under her long ruby hair. Oh but she has none, now that she's mortal. The body is small and makes her feel sick, weak. She must continue, though. She has to find them.

But who? Who does she need to find? She can't remember, can't focus enough to try, just knowing she must keep searching.

So she walks, barefooted through the streets of the city and outlaying regions, seeking.

Won't you come to this lost maiden's aide?

By now, Shizuo is fully immersed in his role. He's no longer concerned with trying to ditch his weapons, and his desire to find and hunt down some animals to get himself a nice pelt (or two, or three) is pretty strong. That's exactly what draws him out to the various corners of Vatheon. He saw on the SFC that there are at least two wolves in this fairy tale land, and Shizuo hopes to find at least one.

Though only a huntsman, Shizuo is a good, chivalrous person. He may never have had the makings of a knight or royalty, but that has never held him back from performing a good deed. When he sees the lost woman, then, he puts his plans to hunt aside and approaches her.

"Are you lost?" Meeting her stare, Shizuo thinks that there's something familiar about her, but he can't quite figure out what. And as Shizuo isn't the type to think too hard about things, he lets it go.

"I am searching." Her gaze is unfocused, as if she's looking through him instead of at him. There's an aura about her, an innocence and a vulnerability rarely seen in modern times, and an aimless urgency she can't seem to direct.

"Have you seen others like me?"

[a_violent_end]

"No, I haven't," Shizuo replies, though he's not exactly sure what she means by others like her. Other women? It doesn't matter, though, because he hasn't bothered to pay attention to anything other than his fruitless hunt up until now. "I'll help you look, though. If you want. It can be pretty dangerous out here, so it's not really safe to be alone." And Shizuo feels like he should protect her - that apparent vulnerability could attract the wrong people.

[chosen_gigolo]

"I must find them!" She turns from him and continues to walk, her hair floating back as she moves. "Before I forget, I must..."

The effort proves too much for her, her legs give out, sending her tumbling towards the ground with a soft cry of distress. She's having trouble getting used to bipedal walking.

[a_violent_end]

Shizuo hurries forward to catch her before she can hit the ground. "Easy," he murmurs, and even in his state, he makes sure to handle her very carefully so as to not accidentally hurt her with his strength. Under different circumstances, the proximity and contact with her would fluster Shizuo a little, but he's too concerned to worry about that right now. He tries to help her back into a standing position.

"Here, lean on me so you don't fall." Then Shizuo scans the world around them. He isn't really sure who she's looking for or where they can begin to search - and really, it seems like she should rest instead of travel. "Why don't we sit down somewhere for a minute?" he asks quietly and as gently as possible. "Just for a little. I won't let you forget."

[chosen_gigolo]

"You are kind, sir, but I cannot. Even now I... I cannot remember... I just know I must keep searching." She pulls away, determined on her quest though her steps are still unsteady. She walks as if in a daze, unable to distinguish the waking world from that of dreams and aware of very little around her. This body is so... limited.

He is going to hit on her. It is going to be horrible. 8T

First is the sound of heavy hooves against the ground, and then an impossible to miss large pure white form. Combining the body of a warhorse with his usual appearance has made Darkleer all the more tall, especially with his horns kept in place. In normal circumstances, the archer wouldn't go towards another unless he felt himself in possession of an extraordinarily good mood, or curiosity. But when he sees the wandering lady, he feels something stir in him, and he approaches.

Once he is close enough, he crosses an arm across his chest and bows, long hair falling over his shoulder.

"A worry is apparent over your shoulders, fair lady. May I ask what it is?"

jLKHA you mean BEAUTIFUL

[chosen_gigolo]

"I cannot find them, I-" She stops short when she sees the powerful figure struck by Darkleer, the equine form of his lower half sparking shrouded memory. Suddenly, eyes wide, she takes his large hands in her delicate white fingers.

"Sir! Have you seen others like me?!"

CENTAURS MAN cannot keep it in their... well they don't have pants uh

[aim_exorable]

The sudden gesture is surprising, but Darkleer keeps calm and his hands steady as he returns the action, large hands gently curling around her own. "That is quite a question I am unsure I can answer. What do you mean when you say others like you?"

lmfao XD

[chosen_gigolo]

She opens her mouth to speak but instead of words her lips form a small o and her brows furrow. "I-I.. I cannot remember..."

Freeing one dainty hand from his grasp she brings it to her forehead, running fingertips over the pale star-shaped scar there. "Other... immortals. Other unicorns. Yes! have you see them?"

She grasps his hands again in both of hers, desperate for any scrap of knowledge.

don't worry zelos, your vagina will be safe

[aim_exorable]

"Ah." A unicorn. He knows of such creatures... but only through things he has learned through words both spoken and written. Gently, he shakes his head. "I am afraid I have not seen any in this place."

Ah, but... He thinks back to the various beings he has seen in this place, thinks of all the places that he has visited in his restlessness and caution. "If your kin are here, maiden, then I believe I would know of a place where they would hide."

oooooh lord XD

[chosen_gigolo]

Her eyes widen and she smiles for the first time, an expression like clouds parting from a stormy sky. He looks at him with large, all too naive eyes. "Please, take me there! I must find them, please!"

Her fingers remain curled around his as if grasping to a lifeline. He's the only clue she has, she'll not let him go.

[aim_exorable]

"Fair lady, if you were to smile more instead of making such expressions of woe, I believe I would do anything you asked of me. It would take a greater being than me to refuse such a thing." Bowing his head once more, he presses his lips against her frail wrists. "If there are any unicorns in this place, then I swear upon my honor that we shall find them."

It almost seems odd, to kiss her wrists like this, but a part of him insists that it's perfectly natural. Why would he not want to be close to another, especially one so beautiful?

"If this is an affair which must be dealt with all haste, then I would not object to carrying you, my lady. It would be the least I could do, and we would get there all the quicker."

[chosen_gigolo]

[In this body, he senses are dulled and she feels no danger, only the hope swelling within her that she may be closer to finding her sisters, that she is not the last and alone in the cold world. Her face flushes at the touch of his lips on her skin but her expression beams with excitement.]

Oh please, sir. Please take me to them!

[Though climbing on his back, him being so tall, presents a challenge.]
