"Not that. I knew that. No one wants to stay here." She snapped, stumbling when Thomas dodged her, turning around and glaring at him- she was never the type to joke around, a lot more serious than the man. Eventually she had warmed up to it, even teasing others at one point, but when she was mad... Well, she had no room for joking around, and the amusement in his eyes seemed to fan the flame even more. "Why'd ya come back?" She demanded, trying to take a step forward but stumbling, wincing in pain, cursing herself when she realized that her being hungry and hurt took her edge off. She straightened herself right away, eyes flashing defiantly, not letting her guard down. Leo was nearby, watching warily.

"A war is going down, and I feel I should be on Elsmi's side." Thomas informed moving over to Bree, and touching her shoulder. "I'll tell you more later, but for now I have a job." He laughed putting back on his mask, and ran to a tree jumping and pulling himself up a branch. Then he moved throughout the trees. Just like that he was gone.
(I'mma bout to pass out. :^p Goodnight. Clover can you rp with the new guy?)

(Sure! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6575102/images/lNtnPuxeCzkaKMNYVXVv.gif) ) Bree sighed, flopping down onto the ground as he left, all too used to how fast the guy left. She knew he'd be back, eventually, if he said he was. She scratched the pup on the ear, before getting back onto her feet, still swaying, decided she needed to walk off whatever she was feeling, a scowl on her face as her pup followed her quickly.

(Ah, alrighty~ Sorry if it's a bit "eh" at first. I'm kind of rusty.)
Kazan wandered around the town, taking in the different sights. He didn't have anything else to do, and he wouldn't just sit around doing nothing, either. Waiting could be boring, but it couldn't be helped. Some things couldn't be rushed, obviously. Then again, he never took the time to really explore this area before, so he'd enjoy spending the time to take notes of the area. Maybe he could even find a local to ask a few questions, if necessary?

Finding so much damage scattered around the city made for an odd puzzle. What happened in this place, exactly? The city didn't look that bad at first, but the more he explored, the worse it got. Some sort of battle happened, but for what reason? Kazan let out a sigh. Maybe waiting around to find work was a lost cause in this place, especially if he couldn't find anyone. Then again, he'd at least wait out for morning, in case people were just sleeping. This place went through some trouble, sure, but it wasn't absolutely destroyed. An instinct from within caused Kazan to turn around on an impulse, but he didn't see anything. Weird, he thought. Maybe I'm just getting tired. He went back to his search for... anything interesting.

Bree frowned, ducking when the figure turned around, before darting through the wreckage, trying to keep as quiet and unseen as possible. She finally made it to where the figure was, figuring out that it was a male. Leo let out a soft growl, his usual response to strangers. "Shh." She murmured, patting him before leaping forward, approaching the male cautiously, legs trembling weakly but she made sure she looked confident.

Kazan's instinct told him to turn around again, but he ignored it this time. Instincts could be wrong too, sometimes. Then again, ignoring them could be just as much of a mistake. And in a place where a battle just happened, where there still might be pillagers or whatever sneaking around- Okay, he shouldn't ignore them. That's a stupid thing to do. Before even being able to turn around completely, Kazan spotted a figure jump at him, causing him to drop down; that's the only way he could think to avoid it, assuming the figure aimed to actually attack him. Then again, being on the ground wasn't an ideal position to fend off a hostile threat, either. Talk about vulnerable. He growled out of frustration for his stupid mistake.

Bree frowned when the strange figure hit the ground, hesitating, for once thinking before acting, her dagger lowering slightly. Why would someone drop to the ground like that? She wondered, taking a hesitant step forward. "Who are you?" She asked warily, not wanting to get too close to him, just in case he would attack. She winced when she stepped on some shattered glass, it digging into her heel, cursing herself when she found herself caught unawares.

Kazan almost answered her question without a second thought, but paused when she flinched. It was an opening that gave him enough time to grasp his Beaststone, just in case he needed to use it. Sadly, he didn't have enough time to actually get up, but that could wait. He wondered why she flinched, but of course he knew better than to ask. She just tried to attack him! "I could ask you the same thing," he huffed, glaring at her. "I'm just taking a stroll and you go and jump at me like that!"

Kazan felt his face heat up from the embarrassment of being laughed at. "I just let my guard down!" he scoffed, turning away. Wait. Stripped clean...? "What are you, a thief?" While that didn't sound like a big deal at first, given that Kazan almost never had any money saved up-he only worked for what he needed to survive-the thought of someone stealing his Beaststone... that would be an issue. And this girl actually lived here?
"Does that mean you know what happened here? Why this place is wrecked?"

Bree smirked, "Some people might call me a thief," she responded smugly, before offering the man a hand up, her hand practically grey from all the soot. "Yup. Some soldiers came an' burned this place to th' ground." She responded, although she didn't seem that sad about the fact that her hometown was just leveled by strangers. Actually, she seemed incredibly pleased about it. In Bree's mind, these people got what was coming to them, although she wouldn't actually voice that, knowing how horrible that would be to tell a stranger. Her mind flashed back to Thomas, wishing he was still here, so she could at least talk to them.

Kazan's glare turned into more of a wary gaze when the girl offered help to get up. But, she said that if she wanted to attack him by now, she would've... Maybe it was an act, maybe not. "T-Thanks," he said, accepting the help to get back up.
"I figured it would've been something like that, but hearing it is still..." Well, he couldn't be that sad. For one, he didn't know anyone here. And two, this stuff wasn't anything unheard of; it happened before, and it would happen again. And so much for trying to find work here; he didn't mind more labor-intensive jobs, but helping a ruined village? That would be too much for him to handle. No thanks.
"To answer you're question from earlier, my name's Kazan Hotaru. I'm just a traveler who wandered here. Guess I arrived at a bad time, huh?"

Kazan didn't let the second wince slip by undetected. The girl must've been hurt at some point. But maybe it would be better to not say anything... Maybe.
"Like I said, I'm a traveler," Kazan explained. "I've been here and there, never in one place too long to learn much about it. I've actually been here before but, that must've been over a year ago, at least." He started brushing soot off his clothes. "And as someone who doesn't stay in one place, I need to take up small jobs here and there to provide for myself. Hunting for my food is easy enough, but things like clothes are a bit more complicated to manage. That said, I don't keep anything on me that I don't need; it'd be a waste."
He took a moment to get a good look at Leo, having previously ignored the canine for the most part. Naturally, he realized it was part wolf almost instantly. "Hey there," he greeted with a faint smile, and wave of a hand. Yeah, dogs didn't really understand waving as a hello, but Kazan kept the wave slow enough to avoid it looking like a threat.

"Mmm. Makes sense." She responded, keeping her distance after she helped the man up, still not completely trusting him, especially if he had been to the town before. What if he's seen me? No. He doesn't look familiar. She thought, before her attention turned to her pup, he let out a low growl when the man waved his hand. "He doesn't like strange men." She responded simply, patting him on the head in hopes to sooth the wolf hybrid. He was kicked around by the villagers, so he was a bit wary of any strangers, but especially men. It took her two weeks for Leo to even let her get close to him.

Kazan crossed his arms. "Strange, huh? I guess that's true enough." He was a wolfskin, after all; they weren't exactly common to see. Not to mention they found him in a run-down village at nighttime... Yep, he definitely would seem strange to them. He felt like there would be something more to why the wolf-dog didn't like him, but it didn't matter in the end.
I should figure out where to camp for the night... There's no point in leaving until morning. But he didn't find it appropriate to just up and leave suddenly. "Wait," he realized, "what are you doing here when the village is destroyed, anyways? What's the point in staying around?"

(Well, I'm kind of running out of ideas on what to do here, rip.)
"Fair enough," he agreed. He didn't like the idea of wasting time in this place, either. Then again, where to go next...? This place being destroyed really messed with his plans. Quite annoying, really. "Well, despite the situation, it's nice to meet you," he admitted. It was more true than not; sure, the first bit was a bit... rough, but she didn't actually try to hurt him, and she even had a decent conversation with him. It went a lot better than how it could've turned out, that's for sure.

(I... really have no clue. The best I got is some random person (or animal) trying to attack them. It's basic but, it works?)
Kazan glanced over, hearing the noise as well. He found it odd that the girl maneuvered around him, but it didn't bother him. "I'm... not really sure. My idea was to stay here for a week or two, but that's obviously not happening... I'd have to look at my map and figure it out." He kept his volume low to keep a possible third party from listening in. Maybe the noise came from another person, or maybe it would be another animal instead.

(Sure!) Suddenly a villager lept out between the two of them, eyes on Bree, before glancing at Kazan almost boredly. "Well, well, well, what do we have here? The local thief and a stranger? Y'know, they're looking for you, and there's quite a few people who'd pay me a pretty penny to bring you in, dead or alive." He sneered, taking a step towards the two of them. I guess that sayings right, you're past will catch up with you. Bree thought bitterly, glancing at Kazan nervously. "I'd suggest you run now." She murmured quietly, dagger tight in her hand.

Kazan rolled his eyes. "Yeah, right. It's just one person." Though, it sounded like Bree had some sort of bounty. It made sense, given that she admitted to being a thief. Who knows how much she stole over time? Maybe Kazan wasn't so great of a person to not be bothered by it, but everyone needed to try and live somehow. Not all ways to survive were benevolent. Nonetheless, he wouldn't just up and ditch someone he just met. He took his Beaststone back out, clutching it in his hand. "I can scare them off if you want me to," he grinned, giving a condescending glare towards the villager. "It's rude to interrupt a conversation."

Kazan shrugged. "She's a human, obviously. As for what she's capable of... nope, no idea. But... you should be more concerned with what I am." The Beaststone began to glow before a gray cloud shot out from it, completely covering Kazan. By the time it faded, his transformation already finished; a large, bipedal creature, not too far off from a wolf in some aspects. White and black fur covered the majority of his body, aside from a few red tufts sticking out here and there. He let out a single roar. "Well? Still worried about what she can do?"

Things are getting bad here. She thought, letting out a nervous hum when she saw the stranger turn into... something wolf like. The girls eyes widened slightly at the transformation, but she remained unmoved, trying to look cool, calm, and collected at this new thing. Would he eat me? She wondered in morbid fascination, watching as the villagers let out a nervous mutter and leave, not before one throwing a sharp object at the creature, but she looked away, not wanting to watch it get hit, all but one who snuck up behind Bree, knife in hand. The girl stiffened, whirling around at the same moment that the knife hit her side. She gritted her teeth in pain, before muttering a short incantation, fire sprouting from her hands, scaring off the villager, knife in hand. She stumbled backwards for a moment, before turning to the creature. "So... what are you?" She asked in between gasps, hand to her side.

The rock bounced off Kazan harmlessly, and he almost laughed at the villager who threw it. Maybe if the situation wasn't as serious, he would have. Luckily none of them were dumb enough to actually try and fight him. He turned back to normal after Bree scared off the last villager. Fire magic...? No, that didn't matter. "I'm a wolfskin, but I can explain that later. That guy stabbed you good; you're gonna need to treat that quickly. Do you have any supplies hidden nearby...?" He could only assume she carried some sort of medical supplies to treat her own injuries. If she had trouble walking, he could go and get them for her. Now he definitely couldn't part ways with her yet; he wouldn't abandon someone that's hurt. Not when he could do something to help.
