[Rosekitten]

He had been trying but he couldn't just get over it. It wasn't like he enjoyed being this way, he hated it in fact. Nothing really motivating him to go back to how things were or to even fight. But things weren't expected to change just over night now were they? In due time surely things would improve, or that was probably what a few people were thinking anyway.

Over the days they had improved a little, at the least it was a step in the right direction. Thal wasn't completely useless as far as getting about or doing tasks went, but fighting was out of the question. Probably half the reason he was caught by Mizuki's little scouting group in the first place was the decline in his abilities. But least if he moved around a bit then people seemed to leave him be. Well minus the child anyway, curiosity was abound in this one.

Today looked promising of being a easy going one up until he over heard Mizuki saying he was busy. The girl seemed to really want to go out today and Mizuki had just told her to get him to go along with her. He could tell her no but he remembered how well that went last time. Children were manipulative little creatures that was certain.

The girl took to this idea almost before Mizuki could finish explaining she'd have to wait otherwise. He hardly got the moment to think before Neena was already standing there with ever pleading eyes. Mizuki already seemed to be retreating from this little conversation and Luna seemed to already be prepared to busy herself so she couldn't take the child. How could he say no with that look even? This was more then unfair, not that he voiced it of course but still.

After a few moments they were out of the tent as she lead the way to where she wanted to go. Most would call this a bad idea on Mizuki's part Leaving a child alone with a drow who had been employed by the other side. Though seeing as he had no weapon it made him a bit less of a threat. Plus his current state he was more or less a lost puppy then the fighter Felix and the others knew him as.

After a while, questioning from the girl the whole way, they got to where she wanted to pick herbs. It seemed a little far from camp to be honest but there were scouts in the area so things should be safe enough. Or that was what he thought as the child quickly went about looking for whatever that seemed to catch her fancy. Some of them were not herbs to say the least but she was a child still after all.

Though it took a mere moment to lose her and her quick little bounded self. Great, of all the things to do... Luna was going to kill him, forget Mizuki. He was just about to go looking for her when a sudden scream catch his attention. That had to be her, but a slight panic fell in place of not knowing what had caused such a scream. First thought went straight to the worse outcome possible. But surely none of the Queen's forces had made it this far.. right?

But this thought was a short lived one as he located the girl and the one currently holding her by the arm so effortlessly. She was alive so that was good though the words from the other made his blood turn at the thought. "Well well what do we have here, a runt? You'll make a good addition to her pet collection." Like Thal was going to stand there and let Neena be taken and subjected to a fate similar to what he had gone through.

Whatever thought had caused him to snap a little, it was probably a good thing as he stepped forward determined to warn the man before dealing with him. "I advise you let the girl go." "Oh and who is going to- Oh well this is a surprise. Her Majesty has been looking all over for you. Your rather hard to find." He still held Neena in place and pulled out a blade before lazily holding it near her. "what do you care if a human child dies? Or did you lose track of how many you had killed over the years?" Not of his own will but he had hardly lost track.

"I do not have to answer you, but I do not take well to repeating myself." He warned for the final time. The man laughed before shrugging a little, as far as he knew the seal was still active so Thal could not harm any of her own men. But that was his mistake. Either way Neena was thrown to the ground as the other seemed to grin a bit. "Oh I'm going to enjoy this, you dont even have a weapon. What makes you-" "Try me." This seemed to cause the other to get a little annoyed at the situation as he went to dart forward.

The strike was stopped before he got much more then half a step in as the blade was out of his hands and stuck fast in the ground. It had taken a mere simple movement to do the disarm and pin, mot would have thought it executed flawlessly. The pinned man grunted as he tried to free his arms only to be greeted with a slight popping sound. "Tsk.. damn you" The enemy scout still tried to free himself though Thal had other plans as a sudden crack rang out before a slight cry of pain.

"So.. maybe if you have something useful to say I won't go about breaking every bone in the living corpse you call a body." The currently captive scout hardly had any information let alone something that wasn't known already. This bored Thal quickly and when some noise was heard not too far off coming towards them he decided it was better to deal with the scout now to save trouble later if it was another one. This being said snapping ones neck came easy enough, probably a quicker death then he deserved.

(ok i got a bit carried away i think.. im sorry!)
