Damned Woods

"Then, we wait?" GArin questioned.  

[marixe alcyone]

"We wait," Aquaria agreed, and sat on the ground.
Aman heard voices coming from the clearing and walked stealthily closer to investigate. He drew his sword as he got closer.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin heard a sword being unsheathed. He pulled his bow off his back.

Aman saw the boy and the two girls. He studied the girls' faces and dropped his sword from shock. He walked, stunned and unarmed, into the clearing.
Aquaria saw Garin pull his bow out and shrank behind him. Sanvi changed her stance just a little, so she was ready to fight.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin looked to where Aman appeared from. "And you are?" he asked, though he had a guess.  

[marixe alcyone]

"Her brother," Aman said, pointing at Aquaria. He gave no name. Aman had pale skin and shoulder-length, curling light brown hair. His eyes were black. He looked nothing like Aquaria.
"Brother. As if," Aquaria said coldly, staring at him. She eyed the second sword on his back, the one he had tried to kill her with.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Good, we were looking for you," Garin said, smiling a bit. He kept himself between the two siblings.  

[marixe alcyone]

Sanvi couldn't move. She wanted so much to kill him, right then and there, but she was shaking all over with rage and fear that kept her immobile.
Aquaria clung to Garin's arm, but moved closer to her brother.
Aman grinned and walked casually closer.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin held Aquaria in place, watching Aman, carefully. he knew the man was still armed.  

[marixe alcyone]

Aman held his hands up in a gesture of peace, though he actually got his hand closer to the hilt of his second sword. He continued walking forward.
Aquaria moved forward a bit, still holding tightly to Garin.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Stay where you are," Garin murmured to her. "What are you doing here?" he asked Aman.  

[marixe alcyone]

"I was just wandering," Aman said. He moved even closer and shifted his weight just slightly.
Aquaria nodded and clung to Garin.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"And you happened upon us?" Garin asked, carefully.  

[marixe alcyone]

"So it would appear," Aman said kindly. He wanted to seem trustworthy so he could accomplish his task.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Well, then, our good fortune then," Garin said.
