The stars aren't right!(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Igor smiles and sees them out through the servants gate before going back inside. The purse on Jasmine belts seems to disappear even before they step outside.

Despite the early hour there are people on the streets, and Helena can hear the preparations surrounding the caravan even before she sees it. Cindy waves at them from next to one of the wagons.

Helena waves back, smiling widely and looking around at the preparations, this should be much smoother then their last couple trips, safety in numbers and all that. Helena vowed to get practice in with a bow while they traveled, knowing her body was more suited to it then the morningstar she carried. "And So it Begins"

"Come in! We'll be riding in this wagon." Cindy follows her own advice and hops into the back of the wagon, followed by Jasmine.

Soon the wagons start rumbling down the road. The ride isn't very smooth, but at least it's more comfortable than riding or walking.

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena prefers the wagon to walking, and since they had a long way to go, jogging was out of the question. Casting her mind about for Strike, she keeps track of her friends progress, worried about the spider on this long trip.

"I see you're in high spirits Cindy, glad to be away from that place finally?"

The spiders wakes up from Helena's probing thoughts and senses her need, starting to the east herself.

"Oh yes. Though apparently things are going to be a little more interesting than I thought. But at least it pays well, so..." Cindy shivers as Jasmine suddenly moves behind her, her fingers tracing the skinny girl's spine. "This promises to be a boring trip. At least I'm in good company."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena grins and then bursts out laughing as Cindy shivers at Jasmine's touch. "You'll get used to it, Besides, Jasmine is the best company anyone could ask for~'

Helena snickers again and leans against the wagons side, relaxing and watching Jasmine torment the poor girl. She wondered how Jasmine would react to Helena wearing a collar with her name on it. Would she be flattered? It was an interesting and amusing thought and eventually Helena was laughing again.

Cindy manages a smile, relaxing visibly as Jasmine wraps her arms around the skinny girl and starts whispering something to her ear. Cindy seems surprised at first, then amused.

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena glares at Jasmine, "What are you two snickering about" she says, her eyes narrowed suspiciously...

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Oh, nothing important. Oh, I got us playing cards by the way, since we won't have much to do during the trip."

Jasmine looks surprised. "Well thought."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena still looks suspiciously at Jasmine, but relaxes and smile. "Name the game and lets kill some time I suppose..."

Helena was happy to just waste the day for now, sitting and talking or playing, occasionally just dozing off for no other reason then abject laziness.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Cindy turns out to be pleasant company during the day, occasionally telling jokes or personal anecdotes and bringing up lots of topics during the morning. After lunch break, Jasmine changes the tune. "Do you want to try training? We'll have to do it the other way though, since we don't have privacy here."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

'What, you dont think the caravaners would appreciate a little exhibitionism?" Helena said teasingly before nodding. "The old fashioned way it is, any progress is better then none."

Turning to sit cross legged facing Jasmine, Helena quiets her thoughts again and takes the plunge, it was always an interesting trip into her own mind...

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Jasmine's droning voice helps Helena concentrate and she soon finds herself in the trance. A cool, calming trance. Soon the flame appears. Though Helena manages to hold onto it, she fails to make it grow or to react to her in any meaningful way. It also seems to have returned to its earlier white color, instead of the pink it was last time.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena wonders at the color change again and just tries to hold onto the flame this time, given last nights failure. After she's pretty sure she has it well and locked, she tries to manipulate it again, pushing her will against it gently.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

The flame responds, moving to where Helena wants, although she can feel it resisting.

When Helena resurfaces from the trance, Jasmine is still speaking in monotone voice to help her concentrates and only stops when Helena moves. Cindy is watching them both curiously, but stays quiet.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena smiles as she comes out "Going better then last time, no reason to stop..." Scratching at her arm absentmindedly, she felt rushed for some reason, something gnawing at the back of her mind and making her leg twinge with old pain.

Calming herself, she dives back in, following the same route she had to find it previously...

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

This time finding the flame takes longer and when she tries to control it, it flickers and moves erratically, resisting her attempts to get it under control.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena tries a little more forcefully this time, getting annoyed at her seeming inability to make progress, trying to force the flame to bend to her will and wondering why she was having so much trouble this time around.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Despite her continuous attempts to take control of the flame it resists, getting even more erratic in its movements before finally slipping out of view. When Helena comes back to her body, she's feeling lethargic and her temples ache fiercely. Jasmine has fallen quiet, though she's still calming Helena, and Cindy's reading a book by the looks of it.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena comes out and immediately rubs her aching head, squinting at the light and regretting this already "Damn stupid white fire not listening! I can't do any more today, feels like my heads gonna pop"
