Taishi looked up from the books she had been reading, she was sitting right behind the newcomer the whole time "Welcome" she say quietly before looking back down into the book, she looked troubled slightly

Scia spun around. How had I not heard this person?!

He continued to face her direction, trying to figure out her appearance and thoughts. He voice definitely was the voice of a young lady, but there was an air of confusion around her.

Taishi didn't look up from her book 'You didn't hear me because I did not wish to be heard' she say into his mind 'you think so loudly' she say into his mind holding up a crystal into his hand when he touched it he would see images straight into his mind. She herself looked like a normal 12 year ond with long lavender hair wearing white silk robes, with matching head band around her forehead, her eyes looking like small suns, she would be floating 3 inchs off the ground

(Eh...? Did you figure out that Scia is blind?)

((Her race is perceptive, especially as she heard his thoughts... she put two and tweo together))

(Eheheh. I made it too obvious then.)

A child... Scia thought, and then winced. Forgot that she can read my thoughts.

"Are any of the...captains...here? I'd like to help out, but I'm not sure what I could do...I'm pretty accurate with a gun, though, even for my condition," Sciathan laughed softly.

(Subtle hint with a brick lol)

Taishi smiled 'You think loudly... looks can be decieving' she say into his mind bringing her hand down continue to read her book but on hear his question she looked up "Do I really look like a captain?" she say with a chuckle "I'm just an information bank and agony aunt... every now and then i get promoted to messenger or delivery girl though... and on one rare occassion i was in fact a healer" she had a jestful tone showing it was in fact all true but she took it as a joke "I'm sure Captain Taiye would be glad to have you, besides you don't need your eyes to shoot if you can hear the target" she say her eyes going back to the book her hand patting the ground next to her as to ask him to join her

Scia heard the invitation and declined politely, asking instead, "Those rifles over there...Am I allowed to borrow one and practice? I'd like to make a decent impression, but I'm afraid my skills have become rusty."

Taishi nodded continue to read "They are parctice riffles so I would say there is no harm in it" she say with a slight yawn, she had been on this same chapter for 3 days 'Deathless' she thought to herself guarding her thoughts. a hand came up "Maish tu" she say, as she did a target would appear in the opening near by "You can use that as a target, if you want it to move just ask it to move and it'll do so" her hand then came down

((Maish tu = shadow target))

"Thank you," murmured Scia, walking over to where he perceived the guns to be. Feeling around, he lifted out a light rifle and a pack of extra ammo, then reloaded the gun. His smooth movements made his amount of experience obvious, and in a short time, he had told the shadow to move and was now aiming at it.

Sensing shadows and light, as well as hearing the sound of pebbles against pebbles on the ground, he took a careful aim and fired. His first shot barely grazed the target.

Pausing slightly, he aimed and fired again. And again. He fired until he was out of bullets; he reloaded and fired again. When he had finally run out of ammunition, he called the shadow target over and felt for where the bullets had hit.

Taishi brought one eye off her book, she was curious besides she couldn't read with the noise going on. Closing the book she watched him continuing to shoot at the shadow "You know if you put that crystal i gave you around your neck it will help you see images in your mind... and magic bullets are quieter" looking at the shadow she relayed where the holes where, six in the heart, three in one lung, 2 in the other three grazes to the head, three in the center of the head and two misses

"There is no need to. The world isn't dark for me...I can see in my mind well enough," murmured Scia, with a ghost of a smile. "And...I have indeed gotten rusty. But before I continue, I'll go get a better tour of this place."

Sciathan placed the gun back into the storage and dusted off his vest. Then he thought for a bit and started walking around the camp, making a mental map of it.

Taishi shrugged she didn't mind, everyone had there own way of doing things. She continued to read "Touched by death but unable to be claimed" she say quietly to herself, thinking for a moment on what she just red and blinked "that is impossible" closing the book she went looking around for Espy

"It appears my battle with Blaqkin has added more damage to this planet than anticipated. I wish it hadn't come to this..."

Taiye sighed as she wondered around the grounds thinking to herself. Things had gone from bad to worse.

Scia returned after an extensive tour of the grounds. He now had a mental map of the whole place, and unless someone moved something in his way, probably would trip over anything. At least, he hoped he wouldn't.

Lucid noticed that her captain had returned after too-long of an absence. She was worried, after the tremors had started happening again. "Miss Taiye! You're home!" Lucid ran to greet her, and without thinking, hugged her. Letting go after a moment, Lucid awkwardly stared at her feet and muttered, "I'm really glad you came back safe."
