The sound of sneezing woke him and left him half aware of his sourrounding for a few blinding moments. He lay very still, wondering for a moment who he was and where he was at when his memory came back to him. He was in the middle of the desert with his Camel Alijandro carrying letters. Well, he thought, the abandoned ruins did look like a good place to sleep last night. Now he wasn't so sure. Who was out in the middle of the desert with him? Another traveler maybe? Well of course it was a traveler! He mentally smacked himself. Well, whoever it was, they might not know he was here because the tarp he'd used for a blanket last night still covered him and his camel from head to foot. He looked to his right and saw the still form of Alijandro, his camel sharing the tarp cover with him. Alijandro's head was propped up and his eyes closed. Well I'll be a monkey's uncle - he was asleep! Alijandro never slept! And his head made a very good tent, he laughed silently. He owed Heron a drink. But, no, back to the problem at hand. Very quietly, very slowly, he lifted the edge of the tarp and peaked out. Seeing nothing but the long timeworn brick wall and sand, he slid out a bit looked around again. This time though, he saw a woman with giant leathery wings and another woman.

bic: Chara looked up, her swirling golden eyes wide in fright. She looked up at the heat signature in front of her, training the rest of her senses on the heat signature she'd noted to the left.

"Hello there." Caitlyn said cheerily to the girl with wings in front of her.

Chara screeched and leapt backward, one, two wingbeats and the sand swirled even worse than before. She did a flip and landed lightly on the other side of the stone barrier.

"Well, she doesn't seem very friendly." Caitlyn observed, and casually walked to the other side.

Rhonan looked at the strange winged girl for a moment and agreed with the woman. "I think jittery is the word you're looking for," he commented as he pushed back the tarp and climbed out of the hole. He brushed the dust off his backside and looked around. Now where was that water hole? And... "You know, when I went to sleep last night, I thought I was alone. What I want to know is, where'd you two come from?"

Chara peeked over the wall at the newcomers who actually weren't hostile. She pointed to the east in response to the man's question, and tried to keep a good distance between herself and the one called Caitlyn.

"I came from over there." Caitlyn said simply, pointing toward the town, too far in the distance to see. "Who is she?" She asked.

Rhonan looked in the direction the girl pointed and saw nothing but sand. "East? Hmm. That's ah... nice. Good direction East." He walked through a collapsed doorway and around the eroded walls to a walled up hole in the ground. He knelt and dug some of the sand out and a small trickle of muddy water welled up. He nodded his head in satisfaction and grabbed a big piece of rock, digging further into the hole. He grabbed other pieces of the wall, brushed some of the sand off them and put them in the water effectively forming a stone basin of water. He pushed himself up, walked over and ducked under the tarp, pulling out a waterskin. He walked back and filled it, taking a long drink. Still cool too. He smacked his lips and pushed himself up with one hand. He walked over to the winged girl and cautiosly held out the waterskin. "Uh... water?" he offered.

Chara looked up at the man. There was no hostility in him, that surprised her. She stood up slowly, leaning on the wall for support and slowly reached a hand out for the waterskin. She took it and drank from it grateful for the water. She hadn't had any food or water for several days. Thank goodness she wasn't human in that case.

Rhonan watched as she downed the whole thing. Gosh, she was thirstier then he was. "What's your name angel?" He called her angel for an angel to him she seemed to be. Well, she had the wings anyway. What else was he supposed to call her?

Caitlyn stepped a little closer, a look of almost blankness that held traces of curiousity. She didn't speak however, or attempt to move too close to the girl.

Chara blinked, angel? that was uncommonly nice... She gave him a timid smile and answered in her low melodious voice, "Chara...what might I call you?" She noted the other person, a female, was closer, but she could sense only curiousity and no hostility from her too.
ooc: prowr...oog! post a bio on Rhonan! I wanna know aboot this mystery man!

ooc: Hehehe, think younger version of Maverick; curious, innocent, and idealistic.
bic: Chara? That's a pretty name. Well Chara, you can call me Rhonan." He glanced at the woman staring at Chara, hoping seh might get the silent hint and introduce herself.

OOC: You need to post a bio for all the characters that you use...
BIC:
Caitlyn just continued to stare blankly but with the hint of curiousity.
