Riku tilts his head. "Oh...sorry about that..." He says. Once again
he was confused. All of our weapons are given to us...we can't
lose them or replace them! Even though Riku thought this, he
continued walking.

Khaalida chuckles. "No need to be sorry..." He suspects
something... I know he does... I just hope that if he decides to
kill me he makes it quick... She sighs.
An exasperated sigh escapes from Riku. "Ah, again with that face.
What's wrong? You always look worried!" He didn't want to admit it,
but Riku was actually starting to fret over Khaalida.

Khaalida glances over at Riku before looking back at her feet. "I'm
always worried... I've been out here for far too long... Being out
here makes you nervous and paranoid..." She frowns slightly. She
was telling the truth. She had been out in the wastes for a long
time.
Khaalida shakes her head. "I don't know if I could go back... There
is such a thing as being out for TOO long... I don't think I could
adjust..." She says nervously. What did he mean, if you want?
He's testing me isn't he... Oh no... He's testing me...
There she goes with that face again... Riku shrugged. "It's
cool, honestly even I don't want to go back just for the reason
that the higher ranks are so bossy," He says bitterly. "They can
get so annoying...either way it's fine."

Khaalida shoots a nervous glance at him and then she looks up at
the greying sky. "Yes... They can... I'm going to keep moving..."
She looks around at the different buildings. "Where are you
headed?" Once I find out i'm going to go in the opposite
direction... This guy has got to be bad news... He'll either kill
me or he will bring me in... Oh gosh... What if he does bring me
in? What will the King do when he finds me? She looks back down
to the dusty road and she watches the many cracks in the pavement.
Riku shoved his hands in his pockets. "Where I'm headed?" He
repeats a small smirk appearing on lips. "Hmm, I could be going
this way," Riku points to the right, "Or this way or that way." He
shrugs. "I just go where it seems interesting." Riku then snaps his
fingers. "Hey! Can I tag along with you? That choice seems
interesting," I have nothing else to do, so why not?

Khaalida's stomach just felt like it was filled with lava. "Uh...
Sure... I guess you could tag along..." She shrugged. Oh no...
He knows I don't like what I am... He's probably
investigating...

days. My character's profile is on the first page of the thread if
anyone needs a recap!)
Eden prepared herself to finally take the test to become a scout.
She walked into the HQ's training room, her retractable scythe
tucked away in the holster at her side. The room activated and
began sending virtual enemies her way. She pulled her scythe out of
its holster and pressed the button on the side, making the scythe
extend to twice her height and the blade increase drastically in
size. She smiled to herself, knowing this would be a piece of cake
for her. The enemies came at her one by one, and she sliced them
all with precision as she jumped from wall to wall. Once she had
destroyed all the enemies the training room had to throw at her,
she landed gracefully on her feet. The room deactivated and the
higher ups at the HQ walked in astounded. Eden giggled at them.
"So, do you think I have what it takes to be a scout now?"
Khaalida nods and shrugs. "I guess it depends on how you look at
it... From a negative point of view, I don't have anyone to watch
my back, I don't have anyone to help carry supplies... From a
positive point of view, you don't have to share resources, or
anything really..." She shakes her head. "And here I go rambling...
You'll find that I might talk to myself... If you're alone for
extended periods of time one might get... Well, lonely, for lack of
any other word..."
Eden retracted her scythe and put it back in its holster on her
hip. HQ made her a scout on the spot. To test her skills further,
they decided to send her out on a test mission to the city.
Draco went to the infirmary in HQ to patch himself up. The nurses
helped patch up his wounds and gave him some pain killers. Draco
sighed as he waited to heal
