Keijina sighed as she finished her work. She did not want to fight against anything in anyway right now, so she simply held her tounge. She wanted to protest, to say that it was his choice to use his powers like he does, but her heart resisted. There were more important things than proving Onex wrong.
"If you say so, I wont stop you." she annouced, turning her attention to the task ahead.
She had to get Alexander onto her cot without dropping or hurting him. This would indees prove to be a hard task for his size was twice hers.
She tenderly kissed his forehead, then proceeded in lifting him. She thanked herself for making the bed close to him and not somewhere more weaving-friendly for her task was teideious. She bit her lip hard as she tried to place him on the cot gently. When he was at last plased, she straightened and looked at Firehawk, her eyes soft, but not weak.
"Are you travelling with us, or are you going to seek Mahandronis?"

Keltethyonex looked at Keijina sharply.
«You are not going after him? I spent years trying to find that fool. And after what he did to Alexander, you will let him escape?»
The Tlyunava quivered in rage. He had orders, and he had a mission, and he had money to collect. He was not about to let it slip away this easily.
« . . . If you're not going after him yet, I will stay with you and assist you in healing Alexander. However, I must go after Mahandronis. He must not leave this planet alive.»

[glow=red,0,200]"I think I'll stay as well... Mahandronis will pay someday, but now... it's just not the time."[/glow] Firehawk looked off into the distance for a short time, then slightly shook his head.
[glow=red,0,200]Next time, I'll get you Mahandronis. You think you can go around like this for no apparent reason... I will get you for today's events.[/glow]

Keltethyonex slid down onto the ground, his tendrils splaying out haphazardly and his gun dropping to the dirt.
«I don't have time for someday . . . I need to get him soon. Time is money, and I intend to aquire as much money as I can. Still, I suppose I can wait.»
He floated back into the air, and swung his massive weapon around through the air.
«Well? Where are we headed, you two?»

Keijina shook her head and chuckled.
"He will pay, do not fret over that. If you want to go after him so bad, go. Two very dangerous sisters are looking for him right now. If you can track them, they might help you, or try to blow you to smitherines, depends on their mood." she frowned briefly, confused at her knowledge. Had she known them before? Is that why they had helped her? Questions and possibilities swirled in her mind until she forced them to a still.
"I do not know my way around this planet. I do not know where to go for healing." she said, worried.

[glow=red,0,200]"I haven't been too many places since arriving here... This planet was unknown to my race, we never knew this area. Really, I'm not exactly sure how far away I am from my planet... That crash landing really messed up my sense of direction and where I'm at.[/glow]
Firehawk thought for a bit, then sat down.
[glow=red,0,200]"It would probably be best to try and find the nearest city. I've only been to 2, but we may be near one right now. I might be able to see from the air..."[/glow]
Firehawk then brought out his wings. He slowly rose into the air, hovering over the others.
[glow=red,0,200]"I'm going to see if I can find one. I'll be back shortly."[/glow]

Keijina smiled and looked up at Firehawk.
"Thank you." she looked at the bed-ridden Alexander and frowned mockingly. "I'm pretty sure we wont be going anywhere soon."
Her hand traced out the language of her people, the first thing she ever learned. She didn't know what she was writing, an old proverb, an eldar's words, her friend's weapons... as she looked down she saw what she feared most. One word that scared her more than bullets or death.
Trust.

Keltethyonex floated into the air, watching the person go.
«Mmm. I want to go after him, but I will require assistance. Not even a premier bounty hunter can handle a Relic alone. Likely, I will need you two and Alexander to have any hope of injuring Mahandronis.»
Money money money money money money money money . . . need this done SOON.
«Ahh . . . I'm not entirely certain I even know your names . . . »

Keijina swiped away the symbol quickly and looked at the creature.
"My name is Keijina, the one that just took flight is Firehawk." she said somewhat curtly. She bit her tounge in agitation.
'He seems to know alot about manners.' she said sarcastically to herself. 'You at least know the names of your enemies[/i] before fighting them and you probably know tha names of your allies.'[/i] she thought. Her head shook slightly as she encouraged her mind to sway it's thought.

Searching the ground from the skies, Firehawk was worried now, constantly hoping he would find a city, town, anything. Finally, a glimpse of a building entered his field of vision. He thought he was seeing things, and slightly lowered his altitude. There it was.
[glow=red,0,200]"Hmm... should be about... 2 miles to the northeast..."[/glow]
He whirled around quickly and began to head back, wondering the entire way what had become of his other side.
-----------------------
Binak, however, was not doing anything really. He was just wandering around the area he had appeared in, trying to get used to having a physical form of his own. No bothersome arguments, no more having to deal with his stupid ideas... this could be fun... I can do anything now!
OOC: Just trying to move quickly on the whole finding the town thing, hope it doesn't mess with your image of the area.

Keltethyonex bobbed up and down a moment, then made a mental sigh audible to all those present.
«Keijina . . . hmm. I apologize if I appear callous at first. I do not intend to be in any way unchivalrous, I simply . . . have things I must do. If I do not do them, I will find myself at risk of losing more than just my life.»
Slowly, he floated over to where Alexander lay, and rested a tentacle gently on the Angel-Born's chest.
It'd be so easy to just wrap him up in my tendrils and watch him die . . . but . . . I can't do it . . .
He lifted the tendril up again, turning to Keijina.
«I think we should move sooner rather than later, anyway. I may have been followed here, and I don't keep good company.»

Firehawk appeared on the horizon, coming lower and closer by the second.
[glow=red,0,200]"Nearly there... I can see them."[/glow]
He reached a suitable place to land and did so slowly, so as not to stir up any dust that might be there. And it was pretty much in any environment. His wings retracted and Firehawk slightly winced, then told of his findings.
[glow=red,0,200]"Over that way we should find a small town. I'm fairly sure they can provide what we need..."[/glow]
He then sat down, awaiting a decision on what they would do.

Keijina sighed heavily and leaned against a nearby rock.
"My views on this matter are split. One side tells me to stay out of anyone's reach for fear that they migth try to beat us when we're down, but another part of me says that we should risk the event of a hostile community seeing that we reed Alexander to be well soon." she made a whimpering noise and closed her eyes as the a battle of morals raged in her head.
'Friends take too much work and risk.' she thought to herself. The other voice in her head, however, protested. [glow=red,2,300]'Didn't we agre that friends were worth all of that?'[/glow] 'No, you just won the argument.' [glow=red,2,300]'I won though, therefore proving that friends are worth it. The thing now is deciding to risk our lives or play it safe.'[/glow]
She opened her eyes again and looked at the two awake males in turn, her amber eyes questioning.
"So...what do we do?"

Keltethyonex waved a tentacle indecisively ((yes, I make up the gestures as I go along. YOU try developing emotions for a jellyfish.)) as he thought.
«There's very little doubt that I was followed here, by friends and enemies alike. Most are probably a danger to all of you, and all of them are a danger to Alexander, with one or two exceptions . . .»
He looked down at Alexander, who was lying where he had been left.
I should kill him now. It'd be so easy . . .
Swinging his gun up, he looked skyward. None of the telltale signs of the Synthesis, the Storm, or the Manta were present, but there could be others waiting . . .
«Let us try not to stay in one place very long.»

Images flashed through her mind. There were so many possible negitive actions that anyone could take and yet, at the same time, so many positive things that could happen in the future.
She snapped back to reality as she heard the jellyfish in her head...again. She loathed this thing with a passion. Not only did the male speciman trigger unwanted memories, but his aura screamed 'money thirsty murderer' at her. Fighting him would be unwise, however much she wanted to, so she nodded her head flatly and looked toward her human friend.
"Lead the way, Firehawk."
