Blayne walked along the cobblestone paths of Iadlain, the very same ones that people had been running down no more than just a week ago—himself included. Of course, some made it out a little better off than himself, while others were worse off. He reached up, touching the bandages on his face gingerly before flinching his hand away. The Eyelace certainly wasn't gentle when it tried to take his eye, but it was at least fair in that it didn't inject him with any of it's deadly toxins. Blayne could live with the pain as the wound healed over time with the knowledge that he was still alive and could continue seeing life as it passed him by. After all, 161 is a little young to have to kick the bucket.

He sighed lightly, turning slightly to face his friend with a little smile. "Annette, you know you didn't really have to follow me all the way out here, right? Honestly, I'm fine on my own—you know I am." Since the Harvest Eve incident, Forest Access has been completely cut off, so he didn't have the opportunity to go to Reluir and question his family about Moriel's whereabouts as he originally planned... Though it's not like Lentia or Annette would have let him go anywhere in his condition anyway. He was with Annette when the attack happened, and they had found Lentia while trying to find some healer to help him. She brought them to a proper healer, and his face has been bandaged ever since with Annette helicoptering over him to make sure he didn't run off and do something stupid. Of course, she was an easy one to convince on letting him leave every now and again if she was promised an adventure, so he was glad that she was his warden, at the very least. "But I'm kind of glad you did, I suppose; with half my vision field out-of-service at the moment, I'm glad I can rely on you to warn me of things out of my current field of visio—!"

Just as he'd said it, Blayne nearly tripped over something—or, rather, someone—who was standing right in their path. He stumbled, turning around so he at least fell on his rump than anywhere else, righting the person he'd "tripped" over before they fell too. "Woa—ah—!! Ooh, that might leave a bruise—oh, but are you okay?" Blayne turned his attention to the bystander, who happened to be just a kid. The child blinked in surprise, staring at Blayne's bandages for a moment, before looking behind him and pointing as he exclaimed, "Are you one of the performers like them!?" Blayne looked at the child in confusion for a moment, looking up to where the child was pointing. "Performer like them...!" There was a small stage set up, a few other crew members waiting around as two twins danced and sung on the stage for the mixed crowd of children and stray adults alike. Blayne stood up quickly, mumbling, "Here...? They're performing here?? Was their next tour supposed to have stared so recently? How could I have forgotten...!" He didn't make any move to get much closer to the stage, but he was still standing in plain sight, watching the two perform. Should he try and put a glamour over his bandages? Should he just leave it? He knows they'll probably get upset, but as his friends, would it be right to hide something so serious from them...?

They performance didn't last as long as it usually does for several reasons. A ) There were waaaaay too many mages here that could detect them and B ) Their stay is only to find a few friends in hopes that they survived the monster attack as of late.
Kara and Etan were out on the stage floor singing a simple and moving lullaby for the children who were watching them, singing about how to always look forward in life and stay strong even if things had become difficult lately. While Kara sang, Etan played the guitar smiling gently at each and every individual child and wandering adults until moments later noticed from the crowd a familiar face.

Etan continued to string his instrument all while staring through his mask towards Blayne, noting the bandage that took half of his face. He wondered silently how the dark elf had gotten such a wound but perhaps the recent attack was probably the cause. So after a while he handed the guitar to Kara who continued to sing and walked out of the stage and towards Blayne without looking at any other bystanders. The elf took his hand and smiled gently and dragged him out to the back of the stage where he can calmly take off his mask. Although he said very little, he still gave the dark elf a big hug, worried for his friend that he hadn't seen for a while. " How did you get hurt ? " he asked bluntly.

Meanwhile Ebony had helped around with the work load that had been pilling up by moving things around and making sure that the show didn't burn or break while the twins were out. Sometimes they would let him dance with them or sing for the crowd even though he get's rather nervous around a big group. With his feet still in healing, he couldn't dance as much as he liked to but at the end of the day it was for the best. His mental state was still having terrible issues to deal with as many times at night his emotions would get the better of him. Thankfully, Kara had continued to help him, keeping him afloat and safe. Made him feel just a little better every day that had passed with them.

While he carried some supplies around, he walked into a conversation between Blayne and Etan and he couldn't help but stop in his tracks as he had recognized the voice and smell from the dark elf. He froze and his body shook a little while he kept his mouth shut, making sure to not make much noise to indicate he was there. Hopefully..

The atmosphere was quiet. There was always this general quietness in Iadlain, but now the air wasn't still as it used to be. Or maybe it always had been that way and Annette just noticed, who was walking beside Blayne just as quietly. He somehow manages to move around and dare strain his recovery time, time and time again. Annette didn't mind that, in fact she was pretty happy about it. Blayne still had that whimsy vibe to him days after the near loss of his eye. You hardly meet people who can bounce back like that, at least for Annette. She was grateful and pleased that he didn't mind her tagging along more often than usual, though Lentia has probably been displeased. She never thought that her time with Blayne— a friend so many years ago —would increase so drastically, with odd motherly attention on top.

The silence was finally disturbed with a different quiet sound. Annette eagerly turned her head to Blayne and just smiled at his little comment— then the smile got bigger when he did an awkward-funny-fall on the ground and— oh wait he bumped into a child, oh dear. Of course Blayne would ask someone if he or she was alright, being the one with half the vision. Good, Blayne quickly stood up so he is completely okay. What did the kid just say? Annette didn't say anything and just followed Blayne's gaze to a stage. There were pleasant sounds, the air slowly felt livelier, bit by bit. ''What little fun is happening over there?'' She thought out loud.

Blayne just stood at his spot while Annette stared at the stage, excited and delighted by the lovely performers. Her attention was mostly on the twins, and then her view wandered around to every section of the stage. She turned to Blayne, except there was no Blayne anymore. Where did he go?? No worries he must be nearby, he did say something about 'they,' whoever that was. Oh come on, if he really wanted a better look or something he should have said something!

Aha! A lucky glimpse of Blayne moving toward the front stage, or the back rather. Was he so excited or something, how could he leave Annette out of it! She made swift turns and easily walked through the crowd. There he was, with another pretty elf. ''Hey,'' she chimed, both glad to catch Blayne and a performer backstage. Whatever they were both up to, Annette stepped closer and said ''there you are!'' as if they had been playing a mini game of hide and seek.

Blayne continued to stand and stare, ever after one of the masked performers focused his gaze in his direction. No doubt it was Etan, with how calmly he passed the guitar off to the other performer and started to move towards him wordlessly. As he began his approach, however, Blayne did glance to the side, still trying to figure out how he was supposed to explain this. He had hoped that, at the very least, that he wouldn't have had to explain what happened to him until after it had healed and scarred over for the most part. In his current state... As Etan took his hand and smiled, Blayne looked back with a somewhat strained smile of his own, following along behind the boy as he took them back stage. He glanced back towards Annette, catching her eye just as she began to look for him. Well, looks like this may have to be a three-way introduction of sorts.

Once out of the eye of the public, Blayne was ready for, and readily returned, Etan's hug. "Straight to the point like always, eh?" Blayne teased, backing out of the hug as he placed a hand on Etan's shoulder. "What, no 'How have you been?' or 'How's life treating you?' or even 'Glad to see that you weren't totally mauled by a forest monster that could've easily killed you in an instant but only managed to give you a nasty surface wound during the attack on Iadlain during Harvest Eve!' ?" As he spoke to Etan, Blayne caught sight of a familiar face walking behind him. He blinked in surprise at them, but before he had the opportunity to call out to them Annette had sprung up with a cheery smile. Blayne smiled back at her and laughed lightly, replying, "Yes, here we are indeed! You're just in time; there's a few people I'd like to introduce you to...!"

Etan frowned at Blayne for trying to hide his pain like that but that is how Blayne had always acted in front of everyone. The light elf wanted to flick him a good one for doing that but before he could a female dark elf entered the scene. Even though the light elf had removed his mask he had still an illusion warped around him making him look like a dark elf in the eyes of everyone else. You could never be too cautious when it came to places like Iadlain and Reluir where light elves were certainly not welcome.

Still Etan only gave her a soft smile and a small wave of 'hello' before turning back to Blayne with a worried frown.

Ebony on the other hand was startled by the random girl that popped out of nowhere. He almost dropped the crate he was holding but managed to compose himself, cringing at the pain his feet caused him for the random miss step. He let out a quiet sigh and stayed where he was, hopefully still out of everyone's vision.

From a distance you could hear the kids cheering and it let Etan know that Kara had just finished her piece and would come soon towards them. Only she came sooner than he previously thought she would. She came from the corner with an angry yet worried scowl, holding the guitar in her right hand. She quickly came over to Blayne, passing the dark elf girl and handing the guitar over to Etan brusquely all while taking her mask off, still maintaining a dark elf look. " Blayne ! " she called. " What happened ?! " she placed her hands on his cheeks, inspecting the bandages. " Why are you hurt like this ?? Is it because of the monsters ?? "

Another performer came back stage and walked straight to Blayne. This must be the 'they' he was was talking about, two pretty performers— what a lucky encounter! It will take some time for introductions to roll in now that he was getting some loving attention. She opened her mouth at the lady dark elf's comment, but her expression turned down a little and went silent. It's for the best for this reunion they seem to be having, and well, Annette preferred not to talk about the monster ordeal herself... She stepped further to the side, saving any possibility that Blayne might feel a tad embarrassed. She watched the twin dark elves play a parental role, and her smile came up a little. On an off note, look at those performance attire, what kind of fabric was that?? It's been so long since she last sewn anything for troupes, oh how she missed sewing intricate details and attaching all things shiny.

Hey, now that she was at backstage, she wondered if there was anything worth admiring? Perhaps a little chance to see a wardrobe of sorts? Who else was around here anyway? She turned around and made very small short steps, curiously looking around for curious things. Her thin pupils dilated when she caught a glimpse of a still figure in dim light. She couldn't really see a clear face, but the expression was soft and wow he/she must be wearing great clothes too, the silhouette hinted flowy shapes. The dark elf did a friendly wave and turned back to the trio.

Blayne only kept a smile on his face in response to Etan's frown; there was no point in getting upset over something that had already happened, after all. He was ready to tell him just as much when he could hear the cheers coming from the opposite side of the stage. Ah, another one would be coming shortly... Blayne stood straighet again as Kara made her way over, taking off her mask and passing the guitar over to her brother. "Kara dearest, so nice to hear your wonderful singing voice again! Truly, it has been so lon--!" Looks like she wasn't going to have any of his beating around the bush as Etan had. She clapped her hands over his cheeks, landing quite a strong blow on his injured one. He flinched immediately, nearly shouting in the process. Managing to bite that back, however, Blayne instead laughed weakly, quickly peeling her hand off of his bad cheek.

"K-Kara, please...! I-I know you're upset, but can't abusing me wait until after my wounds are healed?" He sighed, giving her a hug as he had done Etan before, continuing, "Yes, I got my eye and a bit of my face scratched up by a monster. But that's all it did; let's just be glad I'm alive and well, alright?" He backed out of the hug and gave both of his old friends a wide smile-- or as wide as it could get without pulling at any stitches-- and noticed Annette staring at everyone with a curious, yes somewhat awestricken look. He laughed, going over to her and pulling her back over to everyone. "I don't know why you're trying to stamd back; I haven't even introduced you to everyone yet! Etan, Kara, this has been my warden for the past couple of weeks, and she was also one of my old seamstresses when I performed regularly around Song-Lu! Her name's Annette. And Annette, these guys arebthe people who trained me from the weak little Illusionist I was ro the amazing Enchanter I am today! Etan and Kara!"

He paused for a moment, glancing in the direction again of the boy holding so desperately onto the box, keeping his "eyes" on the ground. Blayne smiled a bit, moving away from the other three over to Ebomy, finishing, "And this, Annette, is a very interesting lad I met recently in my trip to Tusa. He may seem shy, but I promise you he's got a lot more fore in him than what you see now. His name is Ebony, right?" Blayne put a hand on Ebony's shoulder lightly, as if to say 'I don't want to hurt you and I don't want you to be nervous around me.'

Ebony yelped in surprise by Blayne just introducing him outright like that not to mention the boy couldn't help but jolt at the touch on his shoulder. It left him dumbfounded and unable to say a single word. The only thing he could do, clumsily, bowed towards the girl Annette. Although he felt a little bit more eased up that the elf was not here to harm him, he still stepped a bit back turning his head to one side with guilt and shame that overwhelmed him and it showed on his face.

"I---I must ...finish work...sorry. " he finally managed to say, pardoning Blayne and the others for a moment, bowing to them all respectfully before he stepped away.

Meanwhile, Kara pouted while she crossed her arms together." Oh common Blayne don't act all mushy mushy on me. You got hurt so don't hide it from us like that. Should have come to us right away when you saw us, you goof. "
Etan chuckled, hovering one hand over his mouth perhaps thinking of a joke to slide in somewhere but said nothing do the circumstances at hand. Not to mention the death stare Kara was giving him at that exact moment. She knows him too well.

Kara's tight face loosened up when they were introduced. " Oh hello, thanks for taking care of this bundle of goof for us. " she thanked with a smile. " And Ebony ? He's our nephew, he came to help us for a bit but then we dragged him all the way here.... " she confessed with a nervous giggle. " I hadn't believed you two knew each other. What a small world, right bro?" she nudged Etan and he nodded in agreement. "I'm sure he'll come back. I mean I think he's almost done his part for the day. " she added.
"But...on a more serious note..." her face changed suddenly into a serious frown and glared at Blayne. " How did you get hurt in the first place ? Unless you got lazy with your magic or you did something stupid. I'm guessing the latter. "

Etan smiled mischievously and hovered his hand over his mouth again. " Maybe we should talk about this latter ? " he chuckled but not for long as he was bonked in the head by his sister pretty hard.
"Not now ! This is serious ! " she scolded. " Blayne could have gotten a worse injury than this..." she pouted, clearly worried for her friend.

The only understanding Annette got from Ebony was that he was busy and flustered. She didn't even get a second to ask about his outfit, but she chuckled at Blayne's peppy introduction. Good thing Ebony was a nephew of the two performers, it would have been too bad not to have a better look at his attire. She turned to the dark elves and smiled. ''Is that so, a pleasure to meet you Etan, Kara.'' So they must be enchanters as well. Now that she thought about it, she somehow felt that the twins gave off this energetic feel to their presence, something almost sophisticated? She was excited actually, hopefully they will stay around much longer.

''Oh no I have no problems tagging along with Blayne, I think you know better than I that he has a stupidly big heart,'' Annette said to Kara. She glanced at Blayne and playfully, gently poked his arm. ''He is still tender,'' she commented, referring to two things— aside that Blayne was too nice for his own good, he didn't mention his other injuries on his body. For good reason.

Now what is this curious smile Etan was having, Annette wondered what possibly could amuse him when Kara looked so concerned. Of course she wanted to go along with whatever Etan had in mind, she was even tempted to tease Kara a bit. She also chuckled, lightly in tone but her expression was a little strained. ''I don't know about you, but I think what Blayne needs is good ol' company. And what pretty company indeed, Iadlain could finally have a little less silence around here.''

Blayne looked t Ebony in surprise as he bowed quickly, making some excuse before he hurried off, and then smiled and shrugged helplessly himself. He didn't want there to be any ill-will between the two of them after the fight in Tusa, especially after hearing what his father had to say about his... "condition", but it seemed as though it would take a little more than just running into one another on the streets to mend that.

Blayne walked back over to the other group, pinching Kara's cheek playfully when he made it over. "Oh but Kara, you know I am but the Mushiest of the Mushies. And as far as coming to you when I saw you..." He glanced at Etan, catching Kara's death glare as well as his snickering, finishing, "I would have, truly, but the fact of the matter is that you two just blind-sided me, is all...!" He chucked at his own joke, but after a good bop of his own on his head from Kara he calmed down, smiling apologetically at the three.

"Yes, well it is a small world indeed; I met him myself not too long ago in Tusa after he kid—ah, hm—after my party and his own converged... I haven't seen him since I left Song-Lu though... at least, not til today." His face also turned a shade more serious, though he still laughed lightly when Annette poked him and poked fun at him. "And yes Annette, my dear, I suppose I do have a painfully big, tender heart. But even if I didn't, I still wouldn't have been able to leave that child alone in the alleyway... And you," Blayne turned on Kara now, finishing, "it is because of my big heart that I'm like this, not because I was being lazy or stupid. I was attacked while I was saving a child from harm. I'd hate to think what could have happened to him had I not spotted him in that alley..." He paused, and then smiled wide, swinging an arm around Annette's shoulders as he pointed at her with his free hand. "And I'd hate to think what could have happened to me had Annette not been by my side! Sure, I could have gotten a worse injury, but I didn't, and that was thanks to this woman right here! She has my deepest gratitude! And she's right: You two are excellent company, and can make any dreary day here feel as though it's filled with bright, happy light!"

BLayne chuckled at Etan's joke from earlier, releasing Annette and smirking as he said, "Well, sure we could talk about this latter, but why do that when we can talk about the present?" With that, he used his fingers to draw a box shape around his own head, and made a show out of "opening" said box, giving Etan, Kara and Annette an even bigger smile when he was complete. "The 'present' being me, myself and I: Standing here, alive and well, so there's no need to go on about what could have happened to me because it didn't! Why plague yourself with the 'What if's'? Just be glad that 'what if' never became 'it did', alright?" He gave Kara another hug before he backed out and teased, "Besides, if you keep pouting like that, you'll give yourself early wrinkles, you know."

Kara pouted some more, crossing her arms in defeat. She frowned, her head down and had this worried expression on her face. " You saved that child but...if you were just slightly unlucky...if you were just slightly off....more would have taken from you...." she said grimly. She lifted her head to meet his gaze and then looked away. " Fine... I'll say no more but you have to be less reckless next time... Or I will hate you beyond your grave. " she warned.

She took her mask, placed it on her face and huffed an aggravated sigh. " I'll close the show for the night. We can discuss this after everything has been clean off. " she added before going back on stage. You could hear the little children cheering and it made Etan smile slightly but he frowned moments later, looking towards Blayne as if to tell him he got into trouble.

It felt like there was an awkward silence looming over them now when Kara left. The only sound you could hear was Kara's final song and the awes from the crowd from time to time. Other than that, silence. At least that whats how Etan felt at the moment as he twiddled his thumbs randomly.
A sudden crash broke the silence and Etan flinched in surprise, looking over his shoulder to see Ebony had fallen with a broken crate.

"Aaaah....who put this box here...I don't remember it being here last time...." Ebony whispered with a little but of frustration in his voice. Etan sighed and walked over to him to help him out. He took the boy's hand and lifted him back on his feet. Ebony thanked him nervously, embarrassed boy his mistake. " I'm sorry...I'll clean this up right away. " he said already going back on his knees to scoop the wreckage. Inside the crates were a few clothes that had each different and intricate designs and were woven beautifully together.

There Blayne goes again being selfless and positive about it all. Annette grinned bashfully under her palm and almost snorted. ''I can't take all the credit,'' she said quietly. She really did want Blayne to be safe and recover quickly, but she can't resist exploring out and about. Running to places and observing, how could she refuse if Blayne felt the same way? Kara doesn't need to know that Annette was lenient on Blayne's condition, maybe almost too carefree/ careless. She sure worries a lot, Annette wondered if rubbing the lady's face would make the grumpy pout go away. Maybe rubbing Etan's cheeks might work too, his expression towards Blayne wasn't a pleasant one.

Then off Kara goes to wow the audience again. Even though the remaining three stood back stage, Annette was really enjoying Kara's song. Her voice was flawless as if the walls were just illusions in the air. Silence somehow returned to the three, but that didn't bother Annette at all. She was distracted, almost daydreaming in the new sounds. The dark elf was rocking a little, back and forth on her feet, obviously delighted. She remembered how Kara and Etan looked under the dusty light of Iadlain, sharing their foreign song and unique lyrics.

Annette abruptly stopped at an intrusive snap. She spots the boy again, Ebony, still worried and politely apologizing. She follows Etan from behind and spoke in a friendly tone.

''Like a busy bee are you, Ebony?'' Then like a cat, she leaned over the clothes, her eyes seem to glimmer in the dim light. ''Could I help you for a bit pretty please?'' She asked, already gathering the marvellous clothes and taking the opportunity to remember the details. She held the clothes out to Ebony. ''The sooner you finish your work the sooner you can relax!''

Blayne's teasing smile took on a hint of worry as he listened to Kara's grim statement. "Well, of course you aren't wrong either, but..." He trailed off as Kara looked at him and looked away, threatening him eve in the afterlife. He chuckled,as he let go of her shoulders. Ah, yes, this was the Kara he remembered all too well. He might have said more, but Kara pulled on her mask quite pointedly, saying she was going to wrap up for the night and the conversation would continue after everything was put away. He nodded and waved as she headed off, saying, "Knock 'em dead, like only you know how!"

Once she was gone, Blayne, much like Annette, listened to and enjoyed Kara's song, but he also, much like Etan, felt the awkwardness of the heavy silence between the tree of them now with Kara gone. He tried several times to think of some conversation topic to bring up the mood again or at least keep them talking, but he was at a loss. Perhaps it was for the best; not moving forward with another distracting topic gave Blayne the opportunity to really consider Kara's words... At the very least, consider them until a crash broke his train of thought. HE gave a start, looking quickly towards the source of the crashing noise, only to see that it was Ebony who was the source of it. He smiled a bit; did that happen because of his nerves? Or was that truly because he didn't realize there had been a box in his path? Either way, he brought up the rear as they went over to the half elf, and he remained standing with Etan as Ebony crouched bac down to gather the clothes along with Annette.

"Yes, true Annette, but the sooner he finishes cleaning up all the clothes, the less time you'll have to admire them, no?" He teased his friend now, sending a smile her way and then Ebony's. "You literally stumbled upon one of her greatest weaknesses boy; she never could pass up the opportunity to thoroughly look over the outfits a performer wears, be it in their travels or on their stages."

The boy felt so astounded when the rest of them came to him to help out...even though he hadn't asked for it. His face flourished in red while they talked about the clothing in such a manner, which only made him feel bad because he could not join in on the conversation. He held the rest of the pieces while he let the others talk for him, staying silent with his head low and somber. He did not wish to disturb anyone but in these circumstances he had no idea what to do with himself so she just stood there like a lost child.

Even though he knew that the elf would not harm him, he couldn't help but feel unsafe and scared waiting to be punished at any moment like before.
Soon after you could hear the little cheers coming from the front of the stage and the blessing heard from Kara telling them goodnight and farewell. She came back and sighed heavily putting her mask away and ordered the men who had been working around the stage to clean up and put everything away. They normally don't stay in a place for very long but Kara decided that they needed to make a small exception. She demanded them to pull out and to make sure everything is in order so that when they do leave that they don't miss anything of importance.

She walked up to the group and smiled. " Alright, we can head out to eat. I'm famished as hell..." she announced with a grumbled sigh. She tapped on Ebony's back which led him to yelp and asked him to join them as well. His face turned redder only nodding at her request.

" You can come too if you like Annette - The more the merrier I'll say. " she added with jest nudging at the male dark elf. " So blindside where shall we eat ? " she asked.

The seamstress smirked at Blayne's remark and stroked the elaborate clothes as if they were kittens. ''To think Blayne still knows me so well after all these years.'' She gently tugged on Ebony's sleeve. ''You have got to tell me where you got yourself gorgeous clothes Ebony.'' Her compliment faded in the lively stage sounds and other conversations. During that time she slowly admired each dress and folded a few at a time. She glanced at Ebony a here and there, he is awfully quiet.

Annette did a few claps at Kara's return back stage. ''What a voice, what a voice!'' She cheered. Then, men came to Kara's call and quickly reorganized boxes and took the clothes away from Annette's hands. ''H-hey wait just a few more minutes,'' the dark elf said. At this point she was tugging on a robe, in which she had to let it go. ''That better not be the last time I get to touch something tailored so well...'' She thought out loud. She shrugged and fiddled with her pinky ring while the men put everything neatly away at a short amount of time. Her eyes lit up when Kara came closer to the group, expressing a little of her enjoyment for Kara's performance. Then her eyes darted to Ebony, he is a bit jumpy huh, and timid too.

Now that Kara mentioned it Annette was a tad hungry. ''Um well...'' She glanced at Blayne and turned back to Kara. ''I don't know if there is anyone open for business ever since the food at Harvest Eve was... See, you came at a good time to bring some lively air, but maybe this is not a perfect time to find a lively place to eat...'' Not to mention the frequent customers (drunks) were not part of natural selection when the monsters came. ''Is there really a spot for all of us to eat together Blayne?'' She asked hopefully.
