No Regrets for a Dying Man

Eve smiled once he fell alseep and was soon passed out herself, not bothering to try and get to blood off of her hand.s

Imagine what it would be like to wake to something poking at your head?

Foreign little fingers from a small, light blue haired elf with interesting dark violet eyes prodding your forehead in the early morning just after you rescued a mysterious but very attractive man (Jack, how did you get in the typing room?) and are currently covered in blood, sleeping on a cave floor.

Well, Eve is about to show said reaction.

The poking was rather annoying and when Eve opened her eyes and was greeted by a stranger she let out a shriek of surprise, practically jumping away from the elf. "Oh goodness gracious great ball of fire, you scared the daylights out of me!" she exclaimed.

The little elf jumped in surprise as well, landing flat on his back, "Ne yaka no bai!?" He said, glaring slightly at Eve then to Jack who was still asleep, "Sho moro da jobai?"

Eve sat up and stared at the elf. "um.....i have no idea what you're saying. Do you speak any other language?" she questioned, worried about what situation she had gotten herself into this time.

The boy blinked, obviously surprised that she didn't understand him. He stood up and brushed the dirt off his clothes before clearing his throat, "Name is Yule...not good with Outsider language...who be you and him?" He asked, nodding his head at Jack.

"Oh nice to meet you Yule. I'm Eve and that's Jack. I found him almost dead. We were just staying in here until i could get him back to my town." She began, not speaking to fast so that the boy could understand her. "Sorry if we bothered you kiddo."

Yule frowned, confusion playing in his deep purple eyes, "I no...follow?...follow." He was so unsure of the language, "Where you be from?" He asked before tapping his chest, "Raskin, Home of the Elder Clan. I be...student? Learner?"

Eve bit her lip trying to speak in a way that the boy would understand. "uhhh, my home, Finlay. I'm....helper?" she couldn't think of any other way to describe her job as a barmaid without confusing the boy. "you follow?"

Yule frowned for a moment before slowly nodding, "Helper?" He pointed to Jack, "In healing?" Yule tilted his head before frowning again, "Follow me, help he be need." Yule took out his small dagger before scanning the forest, "Hunters out with sun....careful."

"uhh that wasn't the right word....um server? yeah server. that's it." She explained. "But i can't argue that he needs help." she stood and walked over to jack after she had adjusted her belongings on her back. "i'm ready." she said with a smile as she looked back over at the elf boy.

Jack groaned but nothing more, he was still out of it. Yule nodded his head and looked around with an almost amusing look of focus, a look much too old for even an elf so young, "Elder Jan can speak language you do." Yule explained, his steps never making a sound.

"Let's get to the Elder then." she said as she followed the boy. Her footsteps did sound though, afterall she was carrying someone and she wasn't exactly a person who relied on stealth.

"Bonai she ta mei, dabaru sho." Yule said as he looked around, hands holding his dagger strongly. If it wasn't for his pale blue hair and creamy skin, he would have probably been able to blend in well in the lush, green and silver forest. His hair was longer at the back, a small braid had been done which was held together with a piece of vine.

Eve had no idea what the male had said so she sighed. "Yup, whatever you say." she stopped though since he seemed a big on edge. She wondered what was up, it made her worry a bit since she couldn't fight while holding Jack

Yule looked back to Eve and frowned, "What wrong?" He asked, "Hunters no be out now, only when sun gone." He cursed himself silently for not paying attention to his language lessons, "Elders be mad at me...Raskin holy land, Outsiders forbidden." He tried to explain. He wasn't suppose to bring people from the outside to Raskin. Raskin was a sort of small island within Silverwood where elves went to before Holy Workers such as Seers, Priests, and what not. Yule wanted to become a Healer.

"Oh." Eve said as she heard his words. "um.....then what's the plan?" she questioned. "what do i need to do?" she tried to make her question simple enough for him to understand. She didn't really know what to do at this point.

Yule looked at Eve again, seeming to be thinking of how to say what he wanted to say, "Nothing...." He said simply, "Yule is healer, healer help and so Yule help." He nodded once in reassurance, "Yule explain to Elders, they listen." He knew that he was going to be punished in some sort of way but because he was bringing them because the man was so close to death, they wouldn't be so harsh on him.

Eve smiled at Yule, "Thank you Yule, you're to sweet." she said brightly. She hoped he wouldnt get in trouble for this, and if he did she would attempt to help get him out of it.....even though her help probably wouldn't do any good. She never was good at making people see things her way.

Yule beamed at her response, "Hour more, than home." he said before continuing on. For the rest of the trip, Yule didn't speak and Jack grew more pale, the medicine only did so much but Jack wasn't in the clear and safe, he still might die.

"Let's hope this hour goes fast." she muttered as she watched Jack. "I don't know how much longer he'll last." she confessed, and there wasnt anything she could do for him. She had no more medicine, and she didn't have the power to heal with her element.

Yule pressed a finger to his lips, a sign for her to make sure she was quiet. The night began to become foggy, making it hard to see but Yule knew where he was going. They were crossing over a bridge that lead right into Raskin.

Eve nodded, she could barely see him in the fog though but she made sure to keep up with the boy. who knows what would happen if she got sperated.

"Nu shomi!" Called a new voice from the fog and Yule stopped, a man with short sandy blonde hair and soft gray eyes carrying a lantern came out from the fog and stared at Eve before turning to Yule with a scowl, "Vu sha no yaku-nee." He said. They spoke in their tongue, for a while it seemed Yule was losing the argument until the guard sighed, "Yapa no coo-roshi...." He shook his head and started to lead them. "He take us to Elders to help friend of you." Yule explained.

Eve stayed silent during the talk, she was completely lost. The language did intrigue her though. When Yule began walking again she followed and listened to the boy. "Thank you Yule. I don't think i'll ever be able to repay you." she said with a smile. She didn't know why he was doing this, he didn't have to help her and he was obviously getting in trouble for it.
