A pond in the dwarf forests.

Eclipse wandered to the pond, shoving her dagger in her belt and pulling her jacket (which reached her thighs) around her chest, so the belt full of daggers was concealed. She hadn't done too much today. Stole from some rich folk in the Charming Kingdom, drew a picture of a lake and sent it anonymously to El, and nothing else. Sometimes she did that, sending those anonymous letters. She figured that El had guessed it was Eclipse sending them. If not? Well, then her sister's intelligence had lowered dramatically since Eclipse last saw her.

Calypso approached the pond hoping to collect some water from the pond before she went on her way to the Charming Kingdom. She was trying to stay away from the Sleeping kingdom for awhile as it was getting harder and harder to steal from the Castle because of all the guards and after her failed attempt at The Red Riding Hood's Palace she figured she wouldn't be welcome there for awhile. She had pulled the hood of her cloak long before she had walked in the pond because it was one of the only places where she wouldn't have to worry about so done reporting her. She walked up to the pond and filled her canteen not particularly caring if the water was clean or not.

((Trying to find an fc for Eclipse...it's so hard!))
Eclipse immediately noticed the girl filling her canteen with water. Should she say something? She knew that the water had a lot of creatures in it, so it definitely wasn't the cleanest water around. But why would this girl be filling her canteen with water anyway? "Why do you need the water?" she asked casually, leaning against a tree.

((What does she look like I might be able to help))

Calypso was startled to say the least when she suddenly heard a voice behind her. She tried not to let it show as replied nonchalantly with just a touch of sarcasm laced on her voice "Well usually you get water for drinking but if it was for any other purpose it wouldn't be any of your business now would it?"

((Thanks! She's got really dark brown hair, and brown eyes, but she's a little pale. And 14.))
"Everything is my business, since I have none of my own." Eclipse retorted calmly. She dragged her fingers through her tangled hair and pulled her jacket even tighter. No need for this sarcastic girl to see her weapons. "Besides, it's not like it would kill someone for you to tell me that you're going to drink water." she added.

((I couldn't find anything that fit that age range sorry :/))


Calypso huffed "Maybe you should get some business instead of bothering random people in a forest about theirs." She snapped though secretly admired how the girl was able to stand her ground. She shifted her weight ever so slightly to feel the reassuring wright of her sword on her leg.

((Aw. :( ))
Eclipse rolled her eyes. "Mm, no. I think I would much rather stand around and wait for you to finish filling your canteen so I can kill one of the fish in that pond." she said. She did need a fish. And one of her daggers still had a little stained blood on it, so that needed to be dried.

((Sorry))

Calypso arched an eyebrow "You realize that the pond is big enough for both of us." She said as knelt back towards the water and started rinsing her dirty hair. The water was thankfully clean enough to do that at least. Though she would probably have to locate another body of water for her face and hands. She usually didn't wash at all but she was planning on crashing a ball the Charmings were having in a couple days and what better way to sneak in than pretend to be on of the guests?

((It's ok!))
Eclipse shrugged. "I don't really care." she said. She watched Calypso rinsing her hair in the water. Why would she have to do that? Couldn't she just take a bath at home? "Of course, I'll have to go to the other side of the pond now, but whatever." Well, who cared if this girl saw her throw a knife into a fish. Eclipse walked to the edge of the pond, a few feet away from Calypso, pulled a knife out of her own jacket, and threw it into the water. She hit a fish.

Calypso rinsed her hair in the water watching all the mud, grime and dust slowly wash away. She squeezed the water from her hair leaving it damp and stringy on her shoulders. She got a good look at her reflection looking at the mud and grime that was on her slowly she washed her face to. Looking once more at her reflection she was surprised to see a very similar girl to the one she had known only a few months but that girl was long gone. Forcing all further sentiments out of her mind she began to remove all of the daggers that her person held determined to clean each and every single one before nightfall.

"So I'm guessing you're a criminal. Runaway maybe?" Eclipse asked Calypso as she pulled the fish and knife out of the water.

"Yes wanted thief mostly in the Eastern kingdom though I'm sure Red has a price on my head by now." She said taking a small "But it's more like unfortunate orphan." She said "What about you?" She asked mildly curious as to why two girls of the same young age of fourteen were in the forest mostly reserved for criminals.

"Wanted criminal." Eclipse said. cleaning off the knife in the water. "I ran away from home over a year ago, left my twin sister and awful aunt. Been on the run ever since."

Calypso nodded in understanding "What kingdom are you from?" She asked wanting to avoid that area in the future at least for a little while. She had finally managed all of her knives from where she had scattered them across her body. Making sure she had all twenty-eight before she retrieved her sword and laid it beside them. She grabbed the smallest of them and begun cleaning that one, making sure to keep her ears pricked for the sound of footsteps.

Eclipse stuck the knife back into her belt. "All of them. I don't really have a home. But before I ran away I lived in Northern Kingdom. You?" She put the fish in a small bag, which she stuck in one of the many pockets of her coat.

"Sleeping kingdom." She replied if this girl could tell her where she came from she could return the favor. "Just a heads up I wouldn't go towards there for a couple of months I've stirred up a lot of trouble over there." She said as she finished cleaning all of her knives and moved onto her sword, it was a beauty she had snatched it from the Royal armory well that's actually where most of her weapons came from she only carried the best weapons after all.

Eclipse grinned, and glanced at the sword. "I can see." she said.

((?))

((Sorry))

Calypso nodded her head in acknowledgement as she silently went back to cleaning her sword. She took great care in making sure each and every part was throughly clean and that nothing was broken. "So where are you heading next." Calypso asked as she finished cleaning her sword.

Eclipse shrugged. "Wherever." she said. "Basically gonna find the place with the biggest score, money or food. Or any other cool stuff. You?"

"Charming kingdom most likely." Calypso said gathering her knives and returning them to the many hiding places she had made. "Cause absolute havoc there for couple months then return to the Eastern kingdom once things have settled down a bit. Might have to change my appearance before I go back." She said the last part more to herself than to Eclipse already making plans in her head of more common place items she would need to make a new disguise once she arrived in the Charming kingdom.
