Party Regrouping (Current Location: Clock Town) Thread 7: Rip

Quint and Trace arrived back from the hospital to make sure there were no lasting effects. Entering the in they found that Chaos's group had arrived. "Oh welcome back. How was the mission?.have any troubes?." Quint questioned. Trace still looked a little green.

Chaos answered Quint "It was rough, but nothing we couldn't handle. We would have arrived sooner had we not gotten caught up in the conflicts of the deceased"

"We got some nice equipment out of it though." Fist said as she lifted one of her legs up to show off her boots.

"And these matching cloaks." Reina pointed out.

"Thats good to hear. Though i suspect the rest of my group will be back later than expected. Jaruzak found another of his species who was captured by slavers. So after obtaining the mask they are going to deal with them. She seems to be a competent fighter and uses a rather large bow." "Welcome back guys." Trace said before noticing the Goron standing next to Fist. "Hail Uncle  I'm Trace Goro from Death Mountain."

Reina waited for Darem's reaction.

Jillian chuckled, "Darem this is Trace, the one we told you about."

Kairo raised an eyebrow at Trace and waited to see how Darem would react to her. A small grin played at his lips as he watched them.

"Uhhh. Name's Darem." He looked at the child for a second before shrugging, and giving her a big smile, "You don't hafta talk to me like that. Just talk as ya normally would." He crossed his arms, "Death Mountain, eh? That's quite a ways away isn't it?"

"Yeah, its in North East Hyrule. The only reason i came to Termina was to find out what happened to my parents.But thats sorta low on my things to do list right now."

"So how did you end up picking up another one? Another prisoner, Chaos?" Kairo asked grinning at his own joke.

"Not that I'm endorsing slavery, but can't something like that can wait till after the whole 'world in perile' situation is handled?" Fist asked.

"Not much we can do about it now." Chaos replied."Darem entered the situation when we were fighting a wave of stalfos to help out. He sheltered us from the harsh weather and helped us fight the dragon too." He said to answer Kairo's question

"So not a prisoner. That's good. Don't need any more of them, right, Jillian," Kairo joked. He'd missed the banter of the others while he was with Ruul and Calcifer.

Dare nodded, "Best to focus on the task at hand, eh?" He listened to the conversation between the others, but didn't say much.

What's the plan anyway when Jaruzak and the others get back?" Kairo asked, turning his attention to Chaos again.

Ruul stepped forward, up to the table. "Did you get the mask?" he asked quietly.

"Once we have them we'll have t-"Chaos paused answering Kairo to look towards Ruul. He nodded. "It's in the bag." He said pointing to his bag under the table.

"Both of em are." Darem smiled at Ruul. "Hallo. Name's Darem."

"You gonna join us, Ruul?" Kairo asked.

His lips smiled at hearing the news about the masks, but his eyes didn't follow their example. "Sure," he answered Kairo. Stood to the side a little, not sitting down. He then gave a nod to Darem. "I'm Ruul, like they said. Oracle of Ages."

"Sit down, Ruul, I'll grab you a drink. Tea okay?"

Calcifer found his way down the stairs. He paused a moment, hand tight on the rail. Then he relaxed. He looked relieved, really. The normal fire in his eyes was dimmed-- not in a dead way, though. It was tired and peaceful. "Uh, hi." He walked towards the party and ran a hand through his hair, shorn short now. He didn't want to have to explain it, but it was probably inevitable. He had to face it, he supposed.
He approached and held his hand out to the Goron. "My name's Calcifer. It's... nice to meet you."

"Just water, thanks." He pulled up a chair from another table and had a seat. He didn't mind standing, and could condense water to drink if he needed to, but Kairo would likely just worry if he refused.

"Cal, what about you?" Kairo asked.

Dare took his hand and shook it loosely, "Darem. Likewise." He shot Calcifer a toothy grin.

Calcifer actually smiled back a little.
"Huh?" His hand lowered after the shake. He looked away from Darem. "Yeah, sure. Water."

"Alright, two waters. I'll be right back then." Kairo said as he stood up and walked away to get the waters.
