"Alright then, assuming you are coming, this way." Tynel swung his hand in a general eastward direction. Once at his camp, Tynel checked the meat over the fire and turned around and sat down, and then looked up at Raven, who was still standing.

"If its not too much to ask, where are you from?"

Pausing a moment, Raven sighed, knowing she had to tell the truth. "I don't know where I'm from originally..I'm an orphan, and I was taken in by one of the Exiles' ships."

Tynel looked up,

"The Exiles? Thats interesting." Raven looked at him with a question in her eyes. Tynel saw this and explained.

"I am one of them."

((I have to go, I'll be back!))

('Kay.)

Brow furrowed, Raven murmured, "Interesting, indeed.."

If this man was indeed an Exile, there was no doubt in her mind now that Rylin had been a Usurper. No wonder she had been so wary of him..

"So, first I get shipwrecked, then meet a Usurper, now meet an Exile.."

Whatever fate she had been dealt now, it was sure to only get more perilous as time went on, and it was also going to make for quite a tale one day..if she even survived to tell it.

Ty invited her to sit after he had given her something to eat. They talked about irrevelent things and after Ty had finished, he sat back and found himself staring at Raven. She caught his gaze and looked at him.

"What?" Ty quickly redirected his attention to a leaf that lie next to him.

"Nothing."

Frowning, Raven watched him in silence for a moment, but soon lifted her gaze towards the sky, which glowed different shades of red and orange, signaling the imminent sunset.

Ty followed Raven's gaze as she looked at the sunset,

"It's beutiful isn't it? The sun has always set like that every night...Well, at least the time that I have lived here. I gives me hope really, that such beutiful things cannot be touched by the darkness of this world. " Tynel mused out loud as he gazed with wonder and hurt filled eyes as he looked over the colorful sky.

"Indeed, it 'tis beautiful.." Raven murmured in response, a small smile touching her features, all the while she was longing to be back out at sea, where such a sunset would have been ten times more beautiful, due to reflections on the crystalline blue water.

Tynel looked over at Raven, looking at her face, and reading her expression, as he always could with others.

"You wish to go back home." Raven looked at him, and he smiled a sad smile,

"So do I. I have long wanted to go over the sea and see what wonders lie beyond, in the land of my people, for I have never seen them. Or if I have, I have no memory of them."

"Then perhaps you can go there some day. All you need is a ship, and the sea will show you the way to the Shining City." Raven said, lifting her gaze towards the sky again.

Ty smiled.

"Come on, you should get som sleep." He tossed her a bed roll, and then put on his cloak, and then once again swun into a tree above them, dissapearing from sight. He wrapped his cloak around him and tilted his head back, thinking over what was said between he and Raven. Who was she? What was her history? Why did she seem so mysterious in whatever she did? Soon he decided that it was not worth his time and he drifted off to sleep.

Raven made no objection to that, and unrolled the bedroll and spread it out on the ground, before curling up on it and falling asleep within minutes.

The next morning, Tynel woke up, and then found himself falling to the ground, crashing through the branches and landed with a loud thud.

"Ooooh." He moaned as he curled up, wrapping his arms around himself. What a way to start the day, falling out of a tree.

Hearing a thud, Raven woke with a start, and looked around wildly. Finally catching sight of Tynel on the ground, she raised an eyebrow. "You alright?"

Ty looked over his shoulder,

"Hmm? oh, yeah, great. I'm fine. Tired, but fine." with that he turned around and layed back down, spreading his limbs out across the grass. Sighing, he turned his head towards his companion.

"How about you? Get a good night's rest?"

"Apart from the dreams, yes." Raven murmured dryly, standing up with a slight grimace. She had forgotten about her burns completely, but now, the pain was back.
