It was a very large mountain. But she decided to try and climb it. Clare didn't get to look at nature often thanks to her work. Since she had a few days off she decided to do some exploring. Equipping herself with sturdy boots and bringing her coat along in case it got cold, she picked up the best stick she could find and started walking. After a little while her hike brought her to an old dirt path. She stopped as a deer ran across it, looking as if it was being chased. A rustle from the bushes caused her to hold her stick tightly in case a predator decided to make a meal out of her instead of the deer... |

The young monk was not chasing the deer, as it were. Having climbed for several days now, he had merely wanted to get close to the animal -if for no other reason than to be able to share a moment with another living creature. The deer was fast, but then so was the monk. For a while, Belvaan had nearly kept up with the beast. Belvaan leaped over a bush shortly after the deer. Expecting more rocky terrain, the monk was leaning too far forward to keep his balance when he suddenly landed on the flat path. He skid to a halt, the deer pulling too far ahead for the monk to ever catch back up. As he stands, Belvaan becomes aware that he is not alone. Unsure if this traveler is friend or foe, Belvaan turns slightly to face the young woman. "Greetings" was his only statement. In this simple statement his tone suggested warmth, as well as a threat. His muscled tensed as he waited for the young woman's next move. [R4E]grammer[/R4E] Edited by Belvaan, Apr 29 2009, 12:23 PM.

She was glad it was not a hungry wolf or something that popped up from the bushes. Lowering her make shift weapon, she placed it on the ground to be a walking stick like she had picked it up for in the first place. "You startled me..." She explained, but did not want to get into a fight. Noticing the monk's stance she leaned the stick against her hip to show she was not wanting to attack. "I don't want a fight." |

Belvaan exhaled, and visibly relaxed his stance. He smiled broadly at the unexpected young woman. "Believe me, I do not wish us to fight either. By the looks of it, I would stand no chance against you and that stick." Belvaan's smile was genuine; the statement was left for the woman to interpret. Belvaan dropped the black wooden box from off his shoulder. He then reached into his belt pouch, pulling from it a handful of hard biscuits. He kneeled on the ground, sitting on his heels. "Care for a bite to eat? It’s not much, but it is better than nothing. I had some berries earlier...but I promptly ate those. I would have prepared some tea, but I did not expect to see anyone else up here today." The monk's tone seemed serious enough, but his sly smile betrayed his joking intent. He was glad, even if the woman were to say nothing and leave, to have someone to talk to for as long as it lasts. By his last calculation, Belvaan had crossed forest, hills, and mountain for nearly three weeks without seeing a single person. Simply knowing he was not alone in the world was enough for him. |

"Okay." Glad to avoid a confrontation, Clare moved the stick to be held loosely in her right hand. "I might could..." She agreed in an attempt to be conversational. Though really she did not ever fight with a stick. She had never fought with anything other than the scythe which had been broken and was not usable right now. Hopefully though it would be fixed upon her return to the city. Walking closer to the monk, she tested her grip on the stick before sitting down. Sure that her grasp on the physical plain was whole, since she didn't want to give herself away like she nearly had in the city, she nodded. "Ok." Clare was not much for talking, she usually avoided people. Being dead and randomly drifting between spirit and living realms made for some awkward situations. And her work was supposed to be secretive with mortals and the dead alike. It was not the kind of afterlife she would have chosen for herself. She felt more comfortable out here in the mountain than she did back at the city though. Enough that she didn't just turn and walk away. And the man didn't seem too bad. So Clare decided she would hang around for at least a little while. Who knew where her next job would take her anyway. What's the box for?" She found herself asking suddenly, her curiosity interested. |

Belvaan chuckled loudly at the question. "Let a man carry a swrod, a spear, a bucket of water...let him even pull a mule and cart. Who would ask this man what these things were for?" Belvaan smiled slyly. "...let a man carry a closed wooden box, and well, everyone must know what is in it. This box contains something very important to me. In many ways it is a small piece of my soul. It is locked to me now. Not by some physical or magical barrier. It is locked by a small bit of ribbon, and my vow to not open it untill it is time. My vow is stronger than any physical or magical lock." Belvaan handed the woman a biscuit. He bit down on his own. "While we are asking questions, what brings you out into the middle of nowhere? Are you running from something. Running to something? Are you as hoplessly lost as I am?" With the last question the monk breaks out into roarous laughter. "please...do tell...lady..." Belvaan just managed to choke out the last words through his chuckling. |

"It is because it is different. Many carry sword and sheild in these days." Though she could not attest to being one of these travellign warrirors, she knew about things which were different. Her encounter in the tavern the other day had taught her that much. "If it is a privatething no need to share it." But he did, and it was something she'd not heard of before. But she was not very experienced in the world, her life had been cut far too short. And now she was nothing but an employee until such a time that she could pass on or regain new life. Neither was easy. Pausing a moment to chew on a biscuit, she was glad that her phyuical form held out. Slipping between the realms was such a hassle. "Well. I'm out of work until I get my weapon fixed. But the blacksmith said it woudl take a few days. So I decided to coem out and take a look at Avalon's nature." |

Belvaan nodded in agreement. "There does seem to be many that carry sword and shield these days. I have seen many in my wanderings. Though I too love to see all of Avalon's nature, I long to return home someday. I have much to learn before then." Belvaan tapped his fingers lightly against the black wooden box as he spoke. "My training requires me to become a weapon before I can touch my blades again. I spent most of my life training with those blades. Now, I am without them." The young monk seemed nostalgic for his daggers. "I do hope the blacksmith is able to fix your weapon. I know what it is like to be without." |

Even though she was not usually much for conversation, she found this one interesting. Did it mean she had more of a knack for battle than she thought? Talking about weapons ad fighting. "I don't know any hand to hand combat. If I did though I'd already be out to work by now." She laughed slightly,surprising herself. "I am glad for the break though." |

Belvaan smiled as she laughed. He chewed quietly on his biscuit, trying to determine who, or what, this young woman was. "You must have an interesting job. Are you a mercenery?" He noticably had relaxed his guard by now. He was sure that this woman meant him no harm. This feeling did not, however, keep him from trying to find out how dangerous she was. |

"Something like that... demon hunter." She didn't like talking about it, but had come to find that avoiding the issue made her seem more ... suspicious. There were other things that she wouldn't reveal about herself, not out of fear of being looked down upon but because of what her superiors may do. Clare did not know the extent of the mages' powers, but if it was enough to bind a spirit to work for them, there was no telling how far they would go. |

Belvaan nodded slowly, showing no suprise at the young woman's occupation. "I have never fought against a demon. I think that I would like to try sometime." Belvaan, not knowing what else to do, had decided that his journey of self discovery involved facing as many challenges as he could. He had convinced himself that it was the only way to become a weapon. He longed greatly to once again hold his daggers -a sign of his beggining the path of the Blade Mystic. "I did fight an earth elemental once." He held up his right hand, showing an index finger that is mishapen. "If you ever have to do that, I do not recommend punching it in the back of the head." Belvaan chuckled, "they have a very hard head." He took another bite of the biscuit. "Where does one find a demon to battle?" |

She was glad that he didn't have anything to ask about it. The last time she had casually informed someone that she hunted demons, they immediately grew suspicious and began drilling her with questions. Questions she was not allowed to answer! "It's not easy. I don't really know myself. My boss just tells me and I go to kill them. Last time it was one of those demons that broke my weapon though, so by the time I get my scythe back I might be told to fight something less ... dangerous." Though she doubted it, her employers seemed to have little regard for her owns safety. |

"I must admit, that I am curious about those that would employ a demon hunter." Belvaan's tone reflected his curiosity. "Though I will not ask you about them. If I ever run into them, then I will ask." Belvaan finished his biscuit and replaced the wooden box on his shoulders. He stood and stretched his weary muscles. Turning back to the young woman, he smiled yet again. "I am Belvaan Yun, it is a pleaseure to meet you." With the last, he bowed his head slightly. "I have no direction I am heading. If you are traveling back to a town, perhaps I can accompany you. Though, of course, there is no obligation. The mountain is big enough for us both to walk alone, if you desire." The young monk looked to the mountains, away from the young woman. He did not want to influence her decision by staring at her whiel she spoke. Belvaan was always careful not to offend or intimidate others -unless that is what they needed. |

"I don't even know that much about them." She admitted. "But working is really the only thing I have to do. So I'll fight." It wasn't as if she had a choice in the matter to begin with. "I'll take this break and enjoy it while I can though." As she finished eating too, she wiped her hands on her coat sleeve. While the other stood, she stood too. "Clare." She nodded politely. Glancing up at the sun with the mention of town she thought for a moment. "Well, I've been gone a few days. My weapon is probably fixed by now." Looking back down again, she straightened her jacket. "If you're going anyways. I wouldn't mind the company heading back. But only if it is not out of the way for you." |
