When Séregon surfaced he saw he was in a cavern surounded by beutiful crystals that seemed to glow slightly from a light source he couldn't see. Breathing heavily from holding his breath he crawled out of the pool of water he was in. He stood in the dry cavern and transformed back into his human form to dry faster. Of course now his clothes were damp, but better than wet fur.

Resting shortly to recover a bit he then moves deeper into the caves to look for another way out that didn't involve going back under the water. Before leaving though he filled up on water. An hour or two of exploration latter and he decied that it was time to make camp. He got out some wood wraped in oil skin hopping it was dry and it was. He then set up a camp fire in a medium sized cavern that could hold mabey six people comfortably he then sets out most of his things aside to dry except his his shirt and under short. With a sigh he takes out some dried goods and settles in for a drab trail ration meal.

"Ah if only I had some fresh food I am getting tired of these trail rations." Séregon planned to rest there for the night as soon as his gear was dry and continue to search for a way. "Now if I only had some company...." Another sigh. 'Rest and then to find the cat' he thinks to himself.

Hunting while soaking wet had been annoying, but she needed to be in her tiger form to actually catch anything good. Once she had caught to fat rabbits Fara're decided she had enough. Now she just needed to find a place to light a fire to get dry and cook her food.

As she walked she transformed back into her elven form. At least now she would not get a mutt running into her and ruining her food. It was not long before she came across some caves. "Well this looks like a good place," she said to herself.

She walked a ways in the realized she could see the light of a fire. Someone else was hear. She slowly crept forward to see who it was. As she poked her head around the corner she saw a man sitting there.

A bright smile flashed across her face as she stepped out. "Hello there stranger, mind if I share your fire? I have some rabbit to share in return. Much better than those trail rations you have there."
She flick a lock of her wet black hair out of her face. A warm fire, food, and company would all be really nice right now.

"Ah another person is here..." It was at this point Séregon looked at the new arival. His eyes went a little wide as he saw a good looking elf in front of him. It had been a while since he had seen an elf other than him espicialy a cute one. " ahem... um yeah feel free to come sit down." Fealling a bit embaresed that he was only in his under clothes. "Forgive me for the state of undress, but I have had some dificulties involving a job and water. So what is your name and what brings you here?" He had an odd feeling he had met her before, but that was silly, because he hadn't.

He quickly grabs for his pants and pulls them on, they were some what, but not entirely dry. His sword is also pulled a little closer just in case. Following this scramble he gits out some short spits or stakes he used for cooking meat when he could get it. "You can use these to help cook the rabits if you want. I am Séregon Angaráto by the way. So how do you feel about bandits?" He smiles chearfully, happy for the conversation and company.

Fara're just laughed when she saw the man's discomfort. He was funny.

She sat by the fire. "The fire feels nice," she said.

She took a knife out of a shealth she kept strapped to her hip. As she began to skin the rabbits she glanced up and gave him a smile. "I am Fara're. WHo might you be?" she asked.

Her green eyes went back to the rabbits and she worked on skinning them and cutting the meat into small chucks to be roasted on the fire. SHe accepted the spits with a nod of thanks and began to slid pieces of meat onto them. The elf reached into a small pouch hanging on her belt and took out something that looked like spices. After adding a few dashes of the stuff onto the meat she stuck into the fire to cook.

"What do I think of bandits?" she asked. "Hate them. I don't approve of those who prey upon the weak. Why do you ask? Think little innocent me is a nasty bandit?"

With the she put on a pout and a face that looked completely innocent of any wrong doings. She added a bat of her eyes just to make her look even more innocent.

Blushing slightly and turns his head from the too innocent looking face. "Eh um, not really, but I am in the middle of a job huntting some bandits and I was thinking I could always use some help. Plus you look like you have some skill and I find that very interesting."

He then turns his head back smelling the rabbits cooking. "That smells really good, glad you came along this will be my first good meal in weeks. Well back to what I was saying want to help me hunt a few bandits for a bit?" He seemed slightly eagger with a hint of stuborness like he wouldn't take no for an answer. 'I have got to get this cute elf to come with me, plus she seems like a better cook and hunter than I am. Now just to not scare her off with the wolf side of me. Hmm... it is possible she wouldn't be scared, but better to play it safe.' He watches her admiring her and wating for his new companion's responce hoping for a postive one of course.

She pulled out one of the spits and checked the meat. It was almost done. She placed it back in the fire for a few more minutes.

"Glad to be able to feed you," she said with a wink. "I hunt most my food so that is how I was able to get rabbit. I am able to catch fish rather easily too. I guess that is why they named me Fara're."

She did not bother translating her name. He being elven should understand that it ment huntress.

"And I would be more than glad to join your party," she replied.

"Excelent then we can track those bandits down tomarrow." He leans back waiting for the few mintues until the food was done then started in on the food. When Fara're took it out of the fire and split it with him. "Mmm ... this is good. So what other skills you have? Might as well know my companion's skills. I am mainly just a swords and many say I have fairly good endurance. I also have a small skill with offensive magic, but never really done much with it." He says this with a friendly smile.

He then continues to dig into the meal happy to have such luck after the disaster with the cat. He looked and saw that his things were finally dry. After the quick glance he went back to looking at his new companion admiring her looks during the meal. Yes he would definetly enjoy traveling with her.

She pulled the meat out from the fire. A smile crossed her face as she saw that it was done. Fighting that idiot of a wolf earlier had made her very hungry. She handed one of the spits to Seregon and then began to munch on her own.

"My skills?" she asked apsently. "Well...as you can see I am fairly good at hunting and cooking on an open fire. But I assume you mean my fighting skills. I fight with my hands and feet really. No weapons, save for my shuriken if I want ranged attack."

She streached showing off her well muscled body. Her high tunic showed much of her toned stomach. "I may look small but I am faster than most think and much stronger that I look. There are few I have met who have been fast enough to actually land a blow on me."

She then leaned forward and smiled. "What about you? First of all you *still* have not given me your name. And I assume that sword is for more than just show."

She took another bit of the rabbit savoring the tender juicy meat.

"I am pretty sure I did mention my name, but it is Séregon Angaráto. You must of just missed it. And as I said I am a swords man, fairly fast one too. That is my main skill and my stamina is my other good point and I also am often said to be stronger than I look. Some even say I have the ferocity of a wolf." Laughs a little like the last part was a joke." As for ranged I just use this." He mumbles a few words and launches smaller than average magic missle into the ground away from them. He then takes another bite out of the rabbit enjoying the taste.

Her eyes went wide as he shot off the magic missile. "Wow!" she said. "I could never do that! Magic is just something that does not mix well with me. Last time I tried to cast a spell...I kinda blew up the whole building. Took weeks for my f..."she halted realizing she was about to say 'fur'. Instead she said, "uh...for my hair to grow back."

She flashed a smile, hoping he had missed he slip. She did not often tell people what she was, becuase that usually turned them against her. More than one 'friend' had betrayed her after finding out her turn nature.

"But something 'magic' I can do is some minor healing. But I don't really think it is magic. That person who taught me how to fight called it 'ki'. He said this 'ki' can be used to heal...never really understood half of what he was saying though," she said.

She finished off her meal and licked the juice off her fingers. She was much happier now that she had ditched that stupid wolf and had gotten some food in her belly.

She winked at her new friend and smiled, "So...where you from?"

He was little surprised by her reaction to his little magic. It wasn't much after all. However the knowledge she had some skill at healing arts was a good thing.
"Ki huh, heard of that never really seen it used before always sounded usefull though."

"Where I am I from ...... " pauses for a moment to think about the question. "Can't really say I am from anywhere in particular. Parents were a bit odd and liked to travel alot. Guess that lead me to where I am now...." " He had looked like he is remmebering a few old fond memories and mabey pondering his place in life at the moment. The instantace fades quickly as he takes he takes another large bite out of the rabbit finding he is closing in on the end of it. 'Ah well good food only lasts so long.' "How about your self?" He says with a tilt of his head in her direction.
