"Go on, then. Go about your business, and gladly leave me to my own." Rylin said, once again taking on a cold tone of speaking, without realizing it.

"OI! Hold it right there!" Raven said darkly, finally standing and drawing her sword. She was not about to let anyone get a hold of any food, especially when she herself was so very hungry.

Tynel would have usally stood up and fight, but he was so startled by the female voice that he fell over in shock and got up to find himself looking down the point of a blade into a beutiful face. He smiled and blew som hair out of his face, and then looked back at the girl,

"Yes?" He looked very pathetic, with a innocent smile plastered to his face.

Half lowering the point of her blade, Raven felt her hard expression soften slightly upon seeing the innocent smile of this admittedly handsome stranger.

"You happened to be stealing my bread." she said, nonetheless against her better judgement.

Tynel stood up and dusted himself off.

"Ah, yes, uh, that." He quickly searched his mind for an exuse.

"Well, uh, I-I don't really have anything to eat, and uh, am also quite hungry." he gestured at the bread. He then saw the man start to turn in his direction and Tynel started to panic.

"Well, very sorry, but I shall be going now." he swiftly turned on his heel, and started to walk away.

Raven, no doubt startled by his quick, rabbitlike departure, and also feeling uneasy as she knew Rylin had seen what had happened, sheathed her sword and looked to Rylin for a moment.

"Th- thank you for your help so far, but I feel as if I need to be on my own now.." she managed to say, before quickly taking off into the trees, somehow knowing this wasn't the last time she was going to run into that elf..

Rylin, frustrated and annoyed, growled something under his breath and flopped back down next to the fire. He would catch up with her again, and he wouldn't be so lenient next time, either..

Tynel wandered around. He was still hungry. He swung up into a tree with one of his knives, curled in on himself and sighed. Great. Not only had he been seen, but he was still hungry. Suddenly he heard somthing from the ground, and looked to see what it was. A snake. A very big one at that. It looked like it was poisonous, but Tynel didn't care, he knew how much meat snakes provided. He jumped from the tree, as quietly as possible, and walked up behind the snake, raised up his knife, and slammed it to the ground onto the snake, cutting off its head and killing it. He picked it up with the hooked end of his long knife and walked triumphantly over to a flat rock face to begin to prepare his dinner for cooking.

"IDIOT!" Raven's conscience screamed at her once she was away from the camp. She had just given up the only offer of help she had recieved that day, and was now alone, without water, only carrying a couple pieces of bread she had swiped from the elf, and on top of that, she was lost. "Yes, you're really an idiot, Raven.." she muttered to herself as she walked, trying to find a suitable place to set up a camp.

The girl, who happened to called Thyiri, muttered. "Lovely," and sped down to the water's edge, relieved to see a ship in the distance. She went to step into her rowboat - and, bemusedly, discovered it gone. She looked up and down the shoreline, biting her lip. No, this was where it had been. With a sudden burst of suspicion, she located the tree it had been tied to and saw a scrap of parchment left with the fragment of neatly cut rope. Cursing colorfully under her breath, Thyiri scanned it. There was a hastily drawn skull and crossbones. The skull seemed to be grinning mockingly at her. "Scurvy pirates!" she managed in a slightly strangled voice, rage making her tone louder than was perhaps wise. "My one chance to quit this cursed place and you steal my boat!"

Stamping a foot angrily, Thyiri sat herself down and watched the ship sail away until it was only a speck against the dim sky, muttering murderously to herself. Glancing apprehensively up the bank, she wondered if it were safe to sneak past that uptight fellow's camp again.

Tynel started a fire and started to cook his meal, and then went to gather some firewood, for his own supply had begun to run low. He thought he had heard something, but shook it off. He heard yet another sound, but just shook his head. come on, Ty, get a grip.
But then he heard a voice, one that seemed farmiliar. He whipped around to find the same girl who had caught him red-handed.

"You! What are you doing here?" The girl turned around very quickly when he spoke.

Startled, Raven jumped and felt like hitting herself for not realizing she wasn't alone. "Oh..well..I was just...agh, I don't know, I'm bloody lost.." she grumbled, folding her arms and half-turning to walk off.

Tynel smiled slightly and shook his head.

"What about that elf friend of yours? Surely he did not abandon you."

"'Friend?'" she asked sarcastically. "I don't trust him..there's something strange about him.."

Tynel's brow creased and he looked her straight in the eye.

"Ah, I see. I don't beleive I caught your name, pray tell what is it?"

Violet eyes narrowing a bit suspiciously, she responded quietly, "Raven.."

Tynel nodded and smiled.

"Very nice to meet you Raven, my name is Tynel, but you may call me Ty. If you want, you can come with me to camp, but if not I must be going, for I fear my meal may burn."

Uncertain on whether or not she should trust anyone in these parts, Raven nodded a little in response to his offer, against her normal demeanor of mistrust of all strangers.

"Thank you for the offer..I appreciate it."
