The little halfling and the girl(Red)

rose gives a small smile but it doesn't reach her eyes like it usually does. she holds toji in her lap and hums a lullaby to make him sleep. while she hums a tear rolls down her cheek and she looks off to the distance as if she is in her own world.

Toji frowns. She still seemed sad....He had to help her!! But then Rose begins to hum a lullaby. The little boy blinks, yawning, and reaches up to give her cheek a pat, nuzzling into her."Sowry yer....yawwwwn....sad....I'll cheer ye up......yawwwn.....zzzzzzz"

rose gives a soft smile as she stands and carries a sleeping a toji to their tent and puts him in bed then she shifts into her new form and flies over to the lake and lets out a mornful howl like roar. soon after she shifts back and heads to bed next to toi

The sleeping halfling clings onto Rose as she carries him.Put down, the boy wiggles, grabbing onto a near pillow, twitching at the Roar. Daniel looks up from polishing his sword, and sighs.He hoped she would recover. Then again, he doubted that lad would let her fall.When she returns Toji subconsciously clomps onto her, cuddling close

rose wakes up to sun rays on her face and she grumbles as she turns only to end up laying ontop of a sleeping toji. not realizing she just lays there. but sir daniel ends up opening the flap and startling both rose and toji awake.

Toji mrphs as he's slept on by Rose, but continues sleeping, humming happily at the added warmth. However, when Daniel's clanking self opens the door, he shoots awake, squirming around and waving a lightning cloaked arm in the knight's general direction.

Rose grabs the lightning cloaked arm as gasps in pain but keeps her grip on it as she points his arm down. "toji its just sir Daniel......Daniel is it time to leave?" rose asks quietly.

Toji blinked, immediately canceling his lightning."S-s-sorry!!!!" Daniel relaxes, sighing."Aye, mi'lady Rose. The forest awaits." The little boy gives her a apologetic hug."Are ye less sad today?"

rose gives a full on smile and hugs him back humming happily as she feels the warmth from the hug. "yes toji i am no longer sad today so how about we help pack up and then get going." rose says

Toji cheers as she smiles and hugs him, confirming that she is indeed happy again. Nuzzling into her, the little boy nods, grinning happily. Daniel smiles at the sight, and clears his throat."By the way, mi'Lady. I've heard from one of my men that a magician and his apprentice live deep in these woods. We might wish to stop by and give respect, in case he is easy to anger."

"yes that seems right night as well let them know what they should be looking out fo-" she started saying but a breeze blew in the tent and on it carried the scent of demons she growls softly

Daniel nods, blinking at the sudden stop and soft growl.Toji sniffs, then frowns, his eyes instinctively going black and gold, a small growl of his own slipping out before he hides his face in Rose's top."Don't like that smell..."

"learn that smell young toji it is the smell of demons....they are trying to find us. lucky for us its only weaklings that are after us. and they are slow as well they are only several miles behind us if we keep going and if we go straight into the woods it will give them a hard time to sniff us out" Rose says as she holds toji close to her.

Toji nods, relaxing as Rose holds him close. The boy sighs, the looks up. He had to be tough!!! He promised to protect Rose! Daniel nods, reaching out to ruffle the little boy's hair."I've already gotten the men on it, mi'Lady.We will be ready to move out in a few minutes."

rose gives a soft smile as she relaxes. "good let me know when we get ready to go? now toji lets go and get a bath ready for you, your covered in dirt and you got mud in your hair and what is this is this paint what have you been up to?" rose scolds as she lifts the young boy up and carries him toward the lake."i may just have to wash you myself this time. and no bubbles either since i am all out of the bubble stuff" she then adds while tightening her grip on the boy before he tries to dash off
