:Hostage: Situation (Crimson)

[deepwallow]

Song smiles warmly at here. "Good! Now then! To get you fitted!" She says, heading inside one of the tent/hits. Inside was an older woman working with a needle and thread on some sort of jerkin. She turned when they entered. "Who's this, eh? A new recruit? Well, undress her and stand her over there." The woman said impatiently, as if she had been expecting them. The lady had long, long grey hair, and seemed ancient, but she spoke calmly and without a tremble to her voice.

"You heard Nana. Don't worry, I'll hold Jess back." Song promised

[CrimsonMoon]

Ari purses her lips but mods slowly," Make sure she doesnt peek," she huffs and lets the blanket fall

[deepwallow]

Jess's eyes widen but Song covers them fully with her hands while Nana brings out a rope with markings and begins to casually measure Ari, writing numbers down on a piece of bark with a stone. Before long she's finished. "Alright, you can cover yourself, child"

[CrimsonMoon]

Ari sighs in relief and quickly wraps herself up again... This was a weir place, it was like Jess had love making following her around... She wasnt sure how to feel about that

[deepwallow]

Nana went through a few clothes before tossing them to Ari. "Wear these for now. They're big, but they're good enough. When does she need this by?" Nana asked Song. "Tomorrow or the next day would be good." Song replied. Nana snorted but nodded and went back to work. "Alright. Out with you now." She ordered. "Ari, get dressed and then come outside." Song said, dragging Jess with her, eyes still covered

[CrimsonMoon]

Ari nods quickly, she was still skittish but she slides a shirt over her head, it was big enough to serve as a dress so she pulled on some legging before peeking outside for Song

[deepwallow]

Song was standing there as Jess was chatting to the big guy, Cadicarus, who had carried Ari here. Song glanced over when Ari exited and smiled. "Hey! Wow, that is big." She giggled. "However, we should head back to my tent and give you some more medicine. Then I can show you around a bit. Sound good?" She asked

[CrimsonMoon]

Ari pauses and nods but glances at Cad and asks," Wheres my brother and dad..?"

[deepwallow]

Cad looks at her in surprise but answers. "We chased em off. They ran like the devils were after them, though I guess they were honestly." He says with a chuckle. "You guys are little devils." Jessica mused with a grin. "Hey! Who're you calling little?"

[CrimsonMoon]

She frowns and looks away, quickly puhing past them to Song's tent. She worried about her men. She worried about the war. What effect each casualy have...?

[deepwallow]

Song was soon followed and hurried over to her supplies, whipping up Ari's medicine before handing her the bowl to drink herself without help. "You still worried about your father and brother?" She asked with a concerned look

[CrimsonMoon]

She nods and murmurs," You have no idea..." She sighs and frowns

[deepwallow]

Song pats her on the shoulder sympathetically. "Drink your medicine." she reminded her. "I am sorry for your family, but at least you're in better health now. Though I'm still mad they made you travel sick like that."

[CrimsonMoon]

" It's not their fault!" She snaps suddenly but quickly looks away and murmurs," i'm so sorry..." She takes the medicine and drinks it quickly before fleeing suddenly. Disappearing deeper ito the bandit camp

[deepwallow]

So g looked surprised, but not hurt as she fled. Many of the bandits watched her as she rushed by, but many were too busy to bother her. It was like a small city of its own. Everyone was working, drinking, or hurrying off to do something. Some men cat allied her as she passed, but didn't do much to her. There were other females in camp too, though almost all were bandits.

"Well well, what are you doing out here, cub?" A familiar voice asked as Jess came into view next to her

[CrimsonMoon]

" Exploring," Ari answers primly, when she was ct called, she either ignored the men or shot them a look a lion give its prey before ripping off its face.

[deepwallow]

"Ah. Curious about camp, or you just want to move around? I can understand both." She said. She also got catcalls, but either ignored them or grinned back at the caller devilishly before looking back to Ari

[CrimsonMoon]

Ari shrugs weakly in response," I thought.... They'd be more scared of you... You AREtheir leader... Aren't you gonna... I dunno, drop kic them?" She asks

[deepwallow]

Jess laughed heartily at that. "Only the ones who try to actually touch me. No, I let them have their fun. Besides, there's a sort of satisfaction in knowing that they're calling out for you, even if they have no chance in hell." She joked with a grin and a wink

[CrimsonMoon]

Ari smiles and rubs er blonde hair," I guess... I guess so... But the guy i like.. we can't be together..." She starts carefully
