[Natsunaine]

Not long after the women had grabbed and clutched Volke into her arms and began sobbing she felt an awkward pat on her back, She didn't really blame him for this action, she was a mess completely acting out of her usual character, She did have an excuse though, she had been through a lot and little did she know that there was still worse to come.

Soon, She stopped her sobbing and the forest around them became quite, But only for a little while before she spoke up once more. "I really should be sorry, But I understand where you are coming from." Volke had then told her, that it would be a long story to explain what had happened to him, It almost made her worried. That, or she was just excited to see what gave the man a bad day out of interest and entertainment.. Ya, That was probably the most likely out of the two.

Melissa smiled still clutching tightly to the man squeezing a bit, Not long after that Volke pried her off and gave her a sort of disgusted look. Though she did not take it personal, She figured it was because she was a mage or something similar to that, Not that the reason particularly mattered. Either way, even after pried off the women stood as close as possible without breaking the Elves personal boundaries, he didn't seem to like that too well.

Soon enough, The elf got a serious look upon his face, Changing the subject quickly, almost as if it was a defense mechanism to the current situation. He was talking about how /they/ needed to find a shelter and somewhere safe to stay.. For some reason it made Melissa smile, Maybe it was because she felt like Volke was coming her friend, Or maybe because she was getting the chance to annoy him more. Either way she was excited.

"Well, There is the Cave we were in earlier that is nearby, The dark spawn were lured away by my screaming I am almost certain, It would be safe for the night and there is a nearby mage camp that supplies food and water I could go visit. You would have to wait at the caves, Templars won't be full heartedly welcomed.."

It wasn't long after she mentioned the mage camp that she had gotten a weird look from Volke, as if questioning why she wasn't with the group herself, Without being asked she quickly added on to her statement. "I don't side my self with any group of apostates whether it be the blood mages, or the runaways, I stay neutral and I am known for this, I am respected by both sides of the Apostate views and for that they both offer me assistance when needed." The answer seemed to satisfy the other, leaving a blank look on his face, Was he in thought?

Regardless, They both quickly started to march toward the cave that they had once been trapped in, it was kind of funny to Melissa, as she mumbled to herself. "Lucky me, I get to visit hell twice in one day." She giggled and stopped at the entrance of the cave waiting for the other to catch up and without a second of leeway she prodded the other in questioning.

"Well, We are going to be here a while, You might as well tell me the long story that you were talking about earlier." Sure, enough the elf told her about how he was accused of killing the Templar and siding with a mage, he jawed dropped in amazement, did the Chantry really treat their members so poorly? Melissa couldn't help but to feel the blame for what had happened but restrained her self from apologizing, She was sure Volke had enough 'I'm sorry's" for one day.. Nope instead Melissa tried to cheer him up.

"Look, It's obvious that you were to skilled and strong for that group of bumbling idiots anyways, I am sure you can become something greater, Maybe you can become a Champion, or a Ranger, Or even a duelist.." Though he didn't show it you could tell that Volke had someone cheered up from the comment, she wasn't sure why but she didn't really care, She was happy to know that she had helped.

Then the elf asked her how her evening went, Other than the abomination, Her afternoon was no where near as terrible as Volke's was, She almost felt bad to say. "Well, Nothing really happened, I was just looking for fire wood when I ran back into that horde of dark spawn and they began chase, Not to long after that I ran into the embankment and The abomination cloaked itself as my Father... I fell for it and then you showed up, Hardly compares to the day you had.."
