A Lazy Spring Day [Open]

[Deleted]

Diamond had found his way to the river as things were just getting at him as he was getting dragged back into Nova yet again. As he had originally planning to leave the country just with the insanity that was happening. Especially with the demon hunt on the Fated. As well as that old bat of a woman, things were not looking good at all for that Kingdom. But for now though the spring breeze was nice. Beside him were his other katana's all of them sheathed although the larger one had seals and charms from a far away land on it. He was not sure where he would take himself but right now the air and the flowers blooming in the spring season were nice. His eyes did look around for some reeds or some other kind of thing to make a fishing rod out of. It was a nice day for it, but a nap sounded good and Diamond yawned loudly and used his pack as a makeshift pillow. Diamond's violet eyes slowly closed for a nice nap under the shade of a willow tree. And it looked like nothing would bother him for now.

Tres had been wandering in the forest for some time now trying to retrieve herbs and honey for a meal she wanted to prepare. But this being the first time she was outside of the cabin, she had found herself lost. Luckily she had been wandering protected. She had been walking with her cross, wearing gloves so not to harm herself. She had been primarily using it as a walking stick.

By now she was near a river of some sorts. Tres strolled along the calm waters gazing at the shimmering waters. The calmness of the forest brought her back to nature, and though she was frightened before she now felt pure bliss. As she continued down the river she noticed a man tucked under a tree resting. He must have been there awhile since he appeared unconscious. He had bright white hair, which was his feature that stood the most. As she approached, she stepped on a branch and cracked it. It would be loud enough to disturb the man, but hopefully not awaken him.

Diamond's eyes flutter open and sees Tres stopping after breaking a twig. He always some how, woke up when a unnatural sound was made. Such as a twig breaking and such as he always had to be alert when out on his own or resting out in nature. Diamond had to take a quick evaluation at this woman, as she was using a large cross like staff. The look on her face was that of curiosity and there was not a sense of wanting him dead. "Is there something I can help you with" he said sleeply and yawned. Diamond then sat up and yawned loudly while trying to get the sleep out of his eyes. As well as waking up and figuring out what this curious encounter was about. It seemed that it would be harmless but grabbed his Muramasa katana and was getting ready just in case thing went sour for him. Since there was still a sense of the unknown right now.

Tres cringed, her back arching and her wings expanding to their full extent when the twig snapped under her foot. She took a quick step back, feeling as though she disturbed the peace. Looking up at the awakening man, she offered a soft smile. "Sorry to awake you." Tres bowed before the man, her wings following her body's motion. She raised her head as she tucked the end of her cross behind her back, preparing herself to lunge in case of attack. She looked at her surroundings, smiling slightly "I hope I didn't disturb you in your... nap." Tres laughed a little under her breath. She tilted her head to the side in questioning "I'm sorry, I don't believe I've had the pleasure of meeting your acquaintance." Tres extended her hand carefully but authoritatively. She was unsure of how this would play out.

Diamond eyes the winged woman and sees that she too was getting defensive as his awakening had spooked her. And it seemed that they were both on edge for something. "Not really.......but please if you continue to hold that defensive stance I will be forced to attack you. I have had plenty of assassins and others come after me" he said and showed that he ment business as his eyes were giving a withering glare. Diamond had enough of these kinds of attacks on him. "I have not met you either but I will talk once your not a threat to me" the white haired male had said. His hand and slowly went into his side pouch and was going to use one of the crystals if a fight began since drawing one of his blades would take too long to draw out in a instant. But his magic was quicker to use in a instant. For the two of them it was defensive stand off with and it seemed that both sides were growing into a cold war.

Tres bit her tongue. She withdrew with full knowledge that he had the potential to harm her more than she already had been. She would have no advantage either seeing as her back was still in the process of healing and she hadn't fought in a very long time. Her posture lightened, and she stood upright. "Sir I mean you no harm. We simply happened to cross paths as I wandered through these hallowed woods." Tres noticed him reaching into a pouch of some sorts, she took a step back slowly her hand reaching out as if to say 'no'. "There will be no need for violence nor bloodshed today. Allow the peace of the woods to remain." To prove that she meant no harm, she slowly set her cross against a tree then took a few steps away from it.

Tres bowed in front of the man hoping to show respect for him and his space. Though her body softened her eyes remained hard and strong as thus of a warrior. She was in no mood to fight anyone especially after wandering aimlessly for several hours it seemed. Her head shot up first, her body followed slowly. She wore a dress that flowed in the soft winds, but a corset to show her small figure. She rested her gloved hands on her waist, "Do you go by any title sir?" Tres kept her eyes on him, making sure that his intentions were not to harm her.

Diamond withdrew his hand from his pouch "I must apologize though, my life of being a mercenary is a hard one. Constantly in places of conflict and war, so some bad habits are hard for me to drop" as it seemed that he scared the living heck out of this woman. As she had disarmed herself and bowed down in front of him and this caused him to feel rather bad now. She did ask for his name "My name even though it sounds odd is Diamond Corsica" he said and then reached into his bag and pulled out a cloth looking blanket and then spread it out on to the ground. "Please sit here miss, at least you will not get your dress any more dirty" he said and sat down where he was originally and was being more pleasant then he was before. As it seemed that he would not attack. As his posture was that of someone that was relaxed and not threatening. He did look into his pack for his water flask that he kept in there. And was going to offer the winged woman a drink of water as it had been a bit warm.

[Trésor de Lys]

The man quickly softened his outer persona, revealing a far kinder gentleman. Tres gladly accepted his offer. She sat down, with her legs off to the side. As she grew comfortable with him, her smile began to show itself and her eyes drew back from their darting warrior harshness. Now, her visage rested in a positive state. "A mercenary? It must be difficult to find time to oneself." she joked with him, it was nice to have company. "By the by, I do not find your name to be peculiar. It is a beautiful name, after the strongest stone known to man. It appears to be well suited too." she offered a smile to the white-haired man next to her. Tres' wings adjusted, and began to flutter slowly. "My name is Trésor de Lys." she extended her hand, holding it as if she were royalty. "It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance Diamond Corsica the mercenary."

Diamond had to chuckle at the title that Tresor and given him "I don't need a title, plus that one sounded rather odd" he said and gave his water flask to Tres as he had his drink. "It does but the company that I was with is my family. They gave me my name, most of them were named after crystals. Since they lost there families, there land, or wanted a new life. I do not know my true name or family, but I would not change it" he said as the life he live was good and it was mostly what he knew. But he did want to find that information on who his parents were. Did they die or left him to the mercy of nature or even fate its self. "So Trésor, what brought you here? There are not many of your kind around here or anywhere I have been" he said as he did look curiously at the woman's wings that were coming out from her back. Diamond was enjoying the small talk he was having. It had been awhile since he spoke with someone.

[Trésor de Lys]

Tres laughed as he refused her title. It was simply out of habit that she assigned this to him. She gently took the flask from his hand, and raised it to the sky, smiling at Diamond as she did so. She drank slowly to ensure rehydration as she listened attentively to Diamond run on about his family. She smiled gently, handing him back the flask. She felt some sympathy towards Diamond who would seem lost if he were without his family. She couldn't relate to him however. To which she felt bad for. But she had decided that she would not dwell on what she did not have.

Tres noticed Diamond's eye draw towards her wings. Her wings moved slowly as she sat near him. She looked over her shoulder, the one closest to Diamond, her eyes jutted over to his. "Of my kind... I suppose that statement is true." Her wings began fluttering at a quickened pace. "I arrived here at the moon temple. Having been banished by my Goddess." she looked down at her hands, she had been playing with her fingers out of nervousness. This had never happened to her before.

"I hadn't followed her bidding, then I found myself here." she looked to Diamond and smiled softly. There was pain in her eyes. She looked to the river, keeping her pain to herself. Though it had been sometime since she had been dismissed by Helena, she still felt the unbearable pain of being lost.

Quickly wanting to change the subject, she looked once again to Diamond, "Tell me more of your family."
