After the battle had ended, Inga waited as most of the crowd dispersed. She saw Edward speaking to James, and the rebellion leader didn't look too happy. After they were done, she strolled over to where James sat going over his injuries. He didn't look so happy himself. "You looked good out there," Inga told him with the friendliest tone she could manage. She didn't want him getting irritated and telling her to leave. "I didn't know you could fight like that." She looked at his bruises and frowned. His eye was off-color and there was some dried blood on his face. He certainly wasn't in the best shape anymore. "That jerk played dirty. Can I get you any bandages or medicine?" she asked, hoping he wouldn't be upset at her. There wasn't much to do back at the cooking tent, and it wouldn't hurt to help the young man out, and maybe get to know him a little.

James looked up as he heard someone approaching him. When he saw it was Inga, a friendly face, he relaxed a little. "Thanks, it's been a while since I've fought like that. It could've gone better, but oh well." He sighed as he watched Star approach from afar, just as Inga asked about bandages and medicine. He smiled. "Actually, I think someone's taking care of that already," he joked lightly as Star dropped the supplies on the floor near him. "Thanks," he said as he identified bandages and even some herbs which he could guess were either to help the healing or for the pain. Then, he noticed the black panther was there as well, which made him suspicious. "Didn't she go with Seph..." he began, as Star began writing something on the floor. James wondered if Inga was watching it too. "A message from Sephira?" he asked Star once he read it. He was sure he understood what it meant. He thanked the cheetah and panther, and then wondered on the message. He should probably go tell Edward about it, but he was very tired and not at all pleased with the older guy. He really simply needed to find some river to clean up and patch up. He looked up at Inga again. "I think Sephira sent this, what do you make of it?" While he was more and more convinced he'd got and tell Edward later, something in the back of his mind told him Sephira was risking her life to get this information. He wanted the other girl's opinion before deciding.Comment

Inga watched in fascination as the cheetah scribbled some messy words into the dirt, amazed that it actually had a message. In her twenty years she had seen a lot, but had never expected to communicate with an animal. It was quite an important message, too. "If Sephira sent it, Edward needs to know," she began, stating the obvious. Only now Inga realized how dangerous Sephira's task was, considering how long she must have been with Maxwell. Although, she had a good feeling James wouldn't want to speak with Edward any time soon after what happened earlier. "She must have been with that guy for a while if she has this much information. She might be risking her life."Comment

James gritted his teeth as Inga said the exact words he had been thinking. It was true, after all, that Sephira was risking a lot simply to get the information to Edward. It would all be for nothing if the information never reached him at all. "Yeah, I think we should go inform Edward of this. Don't know how long ago she sent the message, maybe his troops have already been mobilized." He stood up with some slight trouble and carried the things Star had brought to him with his still-working limb. "Now let's just try to find him and hope he pays enough attention," he grumbled, looking around while he tried to remember where the man had gone.Comment

Jackylin, who had been eavesdropping, moved closer and spoke up. "If you're talking about the guy who called the fight off, he went into his tent not far from here. Tan, a bit taller than me?" she made gestures to show how much bigger he was than her. "It was next to the uh, Infirmary tent," her voice got quieter towards the end, when she realized she'd never before spoken to either of these people. The cheetah was familiar, though.Last edited by Z64; 02-14-2014, 07:55 PM.Old Age of War stuff here:

Inga had not been expecting the unfamiliar girl to speak up, but it was a good thing she did. "Better not dillydally then," Inga said, heading towards the tent with the group. She could tell which tent the girl had been talking about. "What's your name, by the way?" she asked the girl on the way now that she was following them. She found it a bit weird that the girl was suddenly following them, and had a funny feeling about her.Comment

James eyed the girl curiously, wondering who she was. Something about the way she looked made him feel like she wasn't from the Rebel's Camp. Something in the way she dressed and talked also made him feel that maybe, just maybe, she might be from Hyrule as well. He didn't ask about it though, instead only replying with, "Thanks!" and waiting to hear her name as well. As they closed in on the tent his hurt wrist began tingling.Comment

"Jackylin, or, just Jacky." she said, walking briskly to keep up with Igna's strides. "I came here from Hyrule, and I saw your friend there fight the older man." she nodded to James. "And the cheetah is real sweet too. Who's the man we're looking for, again?" she asked.Old Age of War stuff here:

"The rebel leader," Inga answered. Her tone could have come off as slightly irritated. "Edward." Either the girl had short term memory or she had made up that she saw him go into the tent or something. Whatever it was, the Jackie girl was weird and Inga had a feeling she wouldn't be worth hanging out with. She hoped they were headed towards Edward. Fortunately, they did see Edward when the trio reached the tent.Comment

James raised an eyebrow as he heard Inga's tone, but thought nothing of it. Instead, he smiled at Jacky. "Sad to know you couldn't see me win said fight, but oh well. By the way, I'm James and this is Inga." He looked back at the tent as they heard Edward, he stood in front of the others. "Hey, we have some information for you." He looked at the older guy, remembering how just a few minutes ago they had been arguing.Comment

"Information? From who?" Edward asked. He noticed Jackylin, and saw that she was dressed weirdly for Termina standards. "Are you new here?" Edward asked, keeping eye contact with her.Comment

"Yes, I just blew in from Hyrule." Jackylin smiled, and stood up a little straighter. She didn't have time to converse with James, Inga seemed mad at her, and she didn't speak feline. "I saw that the central city was in a bit of a rough state, so I've been uh, watching the camp for a while." She awkwardly rubbed the back of her neck. If Edward was the rebel leader, that probably didn't sound positive for her. She might come off as a spy of sorts.Last edited by jborgon; 02-14-2014, 08:35 PM.Old Age of War stuff here:

James frowned. "Information from Sephira," he said stiffly, trying to get the conversation away from Jacky. Apparently Edward had never seen her before, and that might not end well for her. He hoped she wasn't a spy, or at least that the rebel leader didn't think she was one.Comment

Edward continued to look at Jackylin, seeing if there was any lies that hid behind her eyes, but stopped trying after five seconds.
"Information from Sephira? What is it? Did she send a note of some sort?" Edward asked, disregarding Jackylin for now.Comment

Inga stood by listening while James did the speaking, and Jackie made herself look even more suspicious. Inga crossed her arms and narrowed her eyebrows as she watched the girl rub her neck nervously. Watching camp? I wouldn't be surprised if you were some type of spy... she thought.Last edited by Peeps; 02-14-2014, 08:55 PM.Comment
