The Earth is Alive [Kol]

Yes, she was agitated. It was hard not to be. Between the Yukmen and the snakes in the water, she could not help but be agitated. There had already been too many close encounters with Dira's court. Tazi wanted to live a few days more. Ideally a few years more, but she wasn't going to ask for more than a few days. Better not tempt fate to take from her too much. She shoved the last of the strips into the bag just as Kol's hand touched her shoulder. Freezing mid-movement, she felt her heart do something strange. It fluttered. For most of her life, she had been around woman, as men had been seen as lesser beings in her clan. If her mother had seen how he fought today, she would maybe have a little respect for the male. Tazi did.

As quickly as it had come, Kol's hand was gone. Her shoulder felt strangely cold after that. Looking up in her disheveled state, she nodded. "Yes." There was not more she could offer beyond that. He was a mouse, quiet and calculating. She wanted to talk, to get to know him, but how could she if he was going to be a wall about it? Standing up, she picked up her dagger. Without her pants, there was no where to put it, so she simply carried it. A few steps and she was closer to him.

As soon as she got close, something overwhelmed her. Something new and strange. For Tazi, having a companion that did not judge her healing skills and lack of fighting skills was a gift. Not only that, she qualified as what he did as saving her life. If he hadn't come onto the beach when he had, she would have continued to float in the basin. She would have been dead, a floating buffet for the Yukmen. Without so much as a warning for either party, she placed a hand on his shoulder for balance as she raised herself onto her tip toes. Quickly, and very softly, she placed a kiss on his cheek. As she lowered herself, she whispered, "Thank you, for helping me today."

Kol was given no warning before her hand found his skin and her lips were pressing against his cheek. His body tightened and out of habit he nearly pulled away. The light caught the dagger in her hand and his caution rose. When no pain came, only the fleeting contact of her lips, Kol's eyes fell on her face. His guard had been shattered for the briefest of moments. He was unsure if he was to return the gesture.

She was so close it was likely that she would be able to see the flecks of green in his brown eyes, or the stubble forming along his face. Kol blinked and spun on his heels, breaking the moment. He continued to move towards the jungle, saying nothing. His mind was muddy and he ran a hand over his face. He made his way towards the direction of Taloba, stopping occasionally to make sure she was still following.

You are welcome. You're welcome. You did well. Yeah...No. No. Kol tried formulating a response, eyebrows furrowing as he walked. He poked around, making sure no Yukmen were around, but his attention wasn't all there. He was more distracted than anything else, and barely noticed when he stepped through a small bramble bush. He gave a brief irritated grunt, displacing his feelings.

Was it hot in here?

They walked for some time, mostly in silence, at least on his part. Soon Taloba's gates were visible through the trees and the guards that stood out front. Kol decided on a game plan and turned towards Tazi. He took a long stride, instantly closing the distance between them before hooking his uninjured hand around the nap of her neck. Kol was swift, leaning forward letting his lips meet her skin. He aimed for her cheek, but instead his kiss found the spot right below her ear, along her jaw. She hair still smelled faintly of the Kadukta. He resisted the natural urge to press his body against hers and pulled away suddenly, nodding.

"You owe me a shirt."

Had she done something wrong? To be lavished with a kiss by a Myrian woman was like a trophy to some men. Maybe not kisses from her, but the poor girl could hope. Instead, she was able to look at him. Her brown eyes took everything in. His eyes were gorgeous, like some mysterious plant with some mysterious medicinal power. They made her feel at ease, and almost washed away the pain that pulsated from various spots on her body. Then his gaze was gone, and the pain came rushing back. Mouse was cold. Adjusting her bag, she followed him into the jungle.

He was acting absent minded, while she was focused on her feet. It kept her from speaking since she probably would have rambled mindlessly with anxiety. One foot in front of the other, keep walking, keep walking. Soon Taloba's walls would divide them. She would return to the medicine house to seek some assistance with her injuries. Only Traya would know some of the best remedies. He stepped out of the jungle first, Tazi meekly following behind him. The sound and smells were different now. They weren't wild and hostile. It smelled like home, with spices lingering in the air and the sound of children laughing as they ran about inside the gates. The guards sat stoically on the great Myrian tigers, ever watchful. She was about to move off when he bull rushed her. The softest of squeaks left her lips as his hand wrapped around her neck. His lips were surprisingly soft. The action took her breath away.

"You owe me a shirt..."

For several ticks, she did not reply. Tazi didn't blink or even breath. Her body started having to scream for air. Air. Air! Air was important! Eventually she let go, her breath leaving her lips in a quiet huuuff. Smiling, she awkwardly reached up and scratched her head, spinning out of his hand. "Bring your sister by the medicine house. I'll have a new shirt for you there. Until we meet again, Mouse."

Notes :
This thread, guys, was truly amazing. I loved the way the both of you worked well with each other when you were writing how they fought beside one another. And the twist at the end where each other helped heal and wrap one another's wounds was also magnificent. I admired the way you turned an action thread into a socialization and romantic thread. You two are terrific writers and I cannot wait to see what else you two get yourselves into. I also hope to see the relationship that is forming between Kol and Tazi blossom! :)

I would like to mention, however, that upon glancing at both of your character sheets, I noticed that your combatant skill levels are lingering at the novice level. There would be much more difficulty in fighting off a pack of Yukmen with so little skill points in any area. This is just a little note for you guys for the future!

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your grade, don't hesitate to send me a private message!
