The Mystics discussion

Tomlin crept along the forest floor, knowing Jewel was not far behind.

Jewel kept a sharp eye out for other people while they went to the place that would be camp for them for the next 12 hrs a small clearing just off the path the carriage was going to take they would met the rest of their forces there where all had a little space of camp not far form the trail but enough that they couldn't be seen

....

(hey mel your turn)

Tomlin drew his sword and took a steadying breath. He knew he probably wouldn't need his weapon just yet, but he wanted to make sure they weren't ambushed on their way to the clearing.

Jewel saw him draw his sword so she knocked her bow ready for anyone. she kept close to tomlin watching his back for an ambush

....

They made it to the campsite without any signs of the Incorruptibles.

Jewel looked around at there camp that had been set up for them she looked at tomlin "well this is home for now"she said to him. she looked over to find her tent and went red when there was only one

Tomlin took one look at Jewel's face and volunteered to take day shift guarding the camp.

Jewel looked at him "are you sure we need to be gaurding, there are troops all over just look over there" she pointed to where she saw a trooop in the tree top

"Just rest for now. I sleep later, besides this will be good for morale." Tomlin said, crossing his hands behind his head.

Jewel walked over to him and kissed his forehead "wake me up when your ready ok" she said as she drew back

Tomlin smiled at her and walked over to the fringes of the campsite. His face grew somber as he stood, his senses alert. Listening for intruders.

Jewel Laid down on the mat laid out in the tent

((fast forward))

Tomlin became more relaxed as time went by. He started goofing off with the other soldiers, always making sure at least a handful of soldiers were paying attention.

Jewel was woken up by a sound outside her tent. she looked around and saw someone outside a shadow near the back "tomlin" she called out thinking it was him

Tomlin had gone back to guarding when he heard Jewel call out his name. He was beside her tent in an instant. He saw a shadow receding but payed it no mind as he flung the tent's flap open.

Jewel jumped as her entered her tent from not where she was expeting. she sat stright up and stood up "im guessing that wasnt you behind my tent then" she said looking at him

Tomlin's mouth pressed into a hardened line. "I'll find out who it was." He said, his expression grim.

Jewel walked over to him and took his hand she looked back at where she had seen the shadow. she shock her head. "i think ill stay up for now, did you wanna sleep" she asked him

Exhaustion was wearing him down but he'd be fine for a few hours so he shook his head.

Jewel felt her hair and looked at her clothes,"well im going to get changed and then ill be out there to ok" she said and kissed him

Tomlin let their kiss linger for a moment before pulling away and exiting the tent.

Jewel quickly changed out of her dirty clothes and into some new ones that were in the coner of the tent. she ran a brush though her hand a put it in a brade to the side of her head to keep it out of the way. she fastened her sword to her hip and walked out of the tent taking in the setting sun

Tomlin had found footprints near the rear of the tent and was casually following them, only making sure he was still following them by looking out the corner of his eye.

Jewel turned around looking for tomlin, she saw the other men in there group but no sign of him."tomlin where are you?" she called out turning around

Tomlin stopped when the prints turned back towards the campsite. His lip curled and he turned back towards camp, only to be blocked by two dark figures.

Jewel stopped and thought, he said he would find the person he would follow the tracks. she went to the back of her tent and followed the tracks picking up her bow before she left. she followed them for 2 mins before she saw him blocked by two people she knocked her bow and waited for him to see her

"Tomlin Rogue? We have orders to detain you for questioning." Tomlin shifted and his hand twitched towards his sword. "Orders from who?" He asked in an even tone.

((sorry i was at lunch))

Jewel stood there and waited she listened to the coversation they were having as soon as one of them moved they would be dead with an arrow in their back before they touch Tomlin

Neither of the figures answered and Tomlin smiled grimly. "Very well, then I shall have to detain you." He sprang into action, pulling his sword from its sheath and knocking one out with the pommel before they knew what was happening.

Jewel let go of her arrows and knocked the next one and let it go. they both hit the other man in the back right on the shoulder making him go down in pain. Jewel knocked a nother arrow just incase. she looked over at tomlin and smiled

"Thanks for the assist. Though it wasn't necessary." Tomlin said, his pride slightly wounded. He sheathed his sword and pulled back the hood of the assailant he had knocked unconscious. "We can pump this one for information once he wakes up."

Jewel walked over to him "whats the matter" she said in a sweet tone " you dont look impressed" she said putting her bow on her back and her hands on her hip

She looked him up and down, a smile coming to her lips. she bent down pulled her arrows out of the mans back wiping the blood on the ground.

"Let's get him back to camp." Tomlin said, grabbing the unconscious man by the back of his cloak.

Jewel stood back up and picked up te guys sword that had fallen on the ground and let out a whistle "that's one nice sword, this should be very interesting what he has to say not just anyone can afford"

....

Tomlin dragged the man back to camp.

Jewel followed him back to camp and got some rope and tied the man to a tree then looked at tomlin

"What do we do with the sword?" Tomlin asked, nodding at it.

Jewel looked at it "we keep it until we find who made it, it has a insignea so its a craftmanship"

"So what? We give it back to the craftsman?" Tomlin asked dubiously.

Jewel rolled her eyes "no if we dont get information out of him e can go see the craftman and see how he works for" stating what she thought was plain simple

"And if the craftsman is an informant?" Tomlin asked.

"We'll we could always kill him I guess or keep him he looks like a very good crafts man" she said looking at the sword again

...

Tomlin smirked and then heard the man groan as he regained consciousness.

Jewel grip the sword and glared at the man

(who is going tp do the mans part)
