((graow... I was hopeing to show some of Ariane's dodging skills))
Ariane growled in her throat, one hit, that was all she wanted. She knew she had no chance, probably even before the match even started, but it ended so quickly. "Child's play," the mercenary seethed, unheard by the Lemurian. No warrior has ever matched her speed, not one, but Nicodemus defeated her as if it was the first time she ever held a blade. And that power...
The girl turned her back to her comrade, her voice quiet, "I knew... that you would defeat me, once I saw that water attack. But..." Ariane stopped talking, she didn't know what to say. Her hands were tight fists at her sides and she shook her head in frustration. Why was she there with him? He didn't need her at all, he could take care of himself easily. The young mercenary stared at the frozen wall in front of her, still not quite low enough to leap over and away from what had happened inside the circle, what is happening inside herself. "So... this is, ice? I've never seen such a thing before," Ariane spoke in a forced conversational tone. She slid her fingers down across the ice, intaking a quick breath as she experienced for the first time its numbing cold. The intake of breath turned into a wince as her finger moved across a sharp piece of ice, slicing her finger open.
"Ow!" Ariane instictively stuck her finger in her mouth, the taste of her blood salty. The taste of defeat, she thought sullenly.

((Next time you will. Nicodemus is currently carrying many Djinni. That's his great secret, he's carrying well over a dozen. The next match, he'll remove anything and everything involving psynergy from himself, and fight you without using Psynergy. You'll probably beat him then though. He was born a warrior though, so he can defend himself without psynergy a bit. You better watch it. ;D))
Nicodemus dropped his wooden practise sword and walked forward to Ariane, softly grabbing her wrist. He closed his eyes, and suddenly, the taste of blood disappeared from Ariane's mouth; the small cut was healed. "My apologies, Ariane." said Nicodemus as the wall lowered to waist-height. Nicodemus, not realizing sooner, finally released her wrist. "I must admit, naturally, you're faster than me." said Nicodemus. He could tell she was bothered by the quick ending to their duel, but he could not find any words of comfort. He stood quietly, his head lowered slightly. As the ice reached knee-level, he stepped over the ice sideways, and said "Do you...?" implying Do you need my hand? without saying it. holding out his hand for Ariane to balance on. "She could probably have jumped over it when it was at waist-height..." thought Nicodemus, wondering why he was offering his hand. She probably didn't need it, at all.

((you know you guys, you don't have to wait for us. You can be RPing getting ready to leave and interacting with each other...))
Ariane took her finger out of her mouth and stared at it, not seeing Nicodemus's offered hand. There wasn't even a scab. The mercenary looked at the Lemurian from the corner of her eye, rubbing her thumbnail across where the cut used to be.
Ariane sighed, "Don't lie to try and cheer me up. You countered my speed with your own as if it was child's play. To be a good warrior you have to gauge other's abilities as well as your own. You're superior in everyway, and that's that." The girl's voice cracked at the last word, surprising herself. With that she leapt over the wall of ice and walked quickly to town, hoping to compose herself before she reached the gates.
After entering town, Ariane didn't make eye contact with anyone. She strode with a single determination to the inn. The woman didn't notice Omio, Helen, and Whisp at the table downstairs as she went to collect her things from her room.
Once in her room Ariane stepped over the mess she made earlier while getting ready for her duel and made her way to the water basin in the corner of her room. The mercenary splashed herself with the cold water, mumbling to herself, "It's okay Ariane. You just need to train harder. There's always room for improvement, Grandfather said that too." She stood there, leaning on the edge of the basin for a minute before she moved to start collecting all of her things. They wasted enough time in Madra as it is.

((Yeah, the RP doesn't just revolve around NIcodemus, you guys can communicate with yourselves. And it's Helen, not Heather, Shiori. ^.^))
Nicodemus sighed and lowered his hand, watching Ariane as she disappeared behind the main entrance to the small town. He somehow managed a smile. "Hm hm hm...She's probably going to beat the hell out of me next time." chuckled Nicodemus, who then stepped back over the now knee-hieght, thin, melting wall of ice. He picked up the wooden practise equipment and walked into town. He entered the Inn and looked around: the group were all in the lobby, ready to go, except Ariane. He payed it no mind, and sat at the table with Omio, Helen, and Whisper. "Is everyone here ready to go, everyone eat a breakfast? We'll leave once Ariane is finished." said Nicodemus.

((>_> <_< >_> * modifies post* I wrote Helen... really XD
edit: so I don't cover the RP with OOC spam, Omio it's Nicodemus who's asking, he's being in character. OOC we already know that Omio ate breakfast but Selaphiel is RPing Nicodemus's character who doesn't know that Omio already had food. So you can RP saying that you already ate... he's trying to bring everyone else into the RP... that's all... and I'm rambling... gomen >_<U))

((I don't care if you ate, Nicodemus does. Just post something, Omio. Edit that post just above this one, and I'll edit this one in reply when you've edited yours.))

((Wasn't I out into town? Anyway, just noticed I were in this RP...))
Whisper snored at the table, he was sleeping while staring at his food, he ate to much out town when he left the inn when he woke up.

((...Whisp RPed a small bit, so I guess I'll give Whisp a rather forcible shove. Alas from that, I want to keep that bit of OOC as a reminder of my err. Heck, someone else might get a laugh out of it. -_-' Nonetheless, Nico will know.))
After grabbing all his equipment and the such, Omio was walking by the inn when the town bells tolled for 12:00. It was noon - time to depart. Crap, I had meant to get Whisper earlier, but I guess I got a little carried away again... He snickered at himself while he jogged towards the Inn. He opened the door, closed it semi-carefully, and informed Whisper about what the town bell meant. "You do know that we're supposed to meet Nicodemus and Ariane at the sparring field right about now, right?" He didn't have time to stay and dink around. After saying that, he opened the door, dashed out, and the wind closed it for him. He was quick when needed be. The fun part was trying to make sure he didn't trip over or plow down any other people. He nicked one or 2 by accident and apologized afterwards, but other than that, he did fine.
He arrived at the sparring field to see peace. He was bent forwards and panting. Considering he ran about 4.5 kilometers as fast as he could, it was no wonder he was slightly tuckered out. Speaking was had to do while exhausted. "Whisp... ...is coming... ...just give 'im... ...a moment." He fell backwards in relief. Okay, I'm definately not going to... "Whew... That run was exhilarating." ...run that fast for that long again.

After Omio left the inn Whisper sat thinking as he was bad at human languages and found out he had to be at the field, in a second he was racing on the streets and saw the rest after a few minutes, he still didn't ran on his fastest, but he was almost partly an animal.
((What about Helena?))

((darnit, this is dying... Helena told me the last thing she done was laying in her bed in the inn, but she hasn't come here to look what all happened...))
