Sky in the...Forest. It was morning. And if one could describe how Sora looked as of that moment, 'destroyed' would be the appropriate term. His messy blue hair, his bloodshot eyes struggling to keep himself awake. He had to admit, it was pretty amazing that he could keep his dome of ice for this long, but all of his bodily functions screamed to cease and desist, anymore than this and he would collapse from exhaustion. And also drop ice, or water on top of both Master and Servant; in Sora's eyes that would really hurt his chances of a good partnership with Caster... well that and it was quite rude to drop ice atop a lady, and it would hurt. Still he didn't want to worry Caster, gods knew that she had done so much for an inexperienced magus like himself, those flowers really helped with both his capacity to store magic energy and his ability control the magic energy. Not by much mind you, but for Sora, who wasn't so much trained by any magus, he had to make do with what he had. Still that begged the question, what happened if he didn't have enough prana to support his Servant. What would she do in that case? Sora made a mental note to ask Caster, when he wasn't feeling like garbage. The man with the cartoon hair color, looked to his Servant and began to speak. "So Caster, look I know you're working really hard for both our sakes. And I appreciate that, really I do. I'm not a really good magus, and you've been practically a lifesaver. ...But I've gotta ask, can I take a rest for now. Because I feel awful, and I just need to sleep, about now."

"...I was not asking if you were a pacifist Sir. Nor about your devotion to the Lady Mercy."- the knight raised his eyebrow as he deposited the box in the wagon, speaking to the avian, but with his back turned. When he did finish placing the Angela's goods in the wagon, not caring if it obstructed someone's way. he would fix that later, the lilac-haired old man, turned to face the group at large. "Hello again Shadrak, Tia. Did something happen while I was gone?"- the knight asked the two people he knew, this time while depositing his huge backpack filled with armor and the rest of Ingret's belongings.

"Very well then, I shall deliver your belongings to the crate; it'll give me a chance to see what my charge is doing. It was a pleasure meeting you Angelica."- the lilac haired knight told the curt blonde as he moved to pick up the crate filled with the girl's stuff. With a quick nod to the young lady, Ing slowly made his way to the wagon, where it seemed as though Shadrak, Tia and some other people and... apparently two Avians were discussing something of great importance. The knight did not care for that though, as he set his sights upon the rest of the camp once more, surveying it's surroundings. As Ingret finally reached the wagon after losing track of time since gazing at the camp, he arrived just to hear one of the avians talk about violence or something or other, talking to Shadrak and Tia. "Ah a natural case of superiority because of his race. Classic and boring.-thought the knight as he approached the group. "Good to know you won't be engaging in any violent activities. Makes my job a little bit easier."- casually said the knight as he neared the wagon.

So wait, even if Bal and Mamce started going AWOL, what happened to everyone else? I think Saber and Berserker teams, have not posted since the TS was announced.

I would have to re-read the posts, but I could you help you with that problem that you are having.

"Mhm. Alright then Angelica."- the lilac-haired man nodded once again at the blonde. "So where do I place this here box?"

"I was told by a woman named Greta to bring these supplies to you. Then Norbert told me that you were the one who was asking for supplies. Ah, my apologies; I forgot to tell you my name."- the knight gave an equally curt nod back to Angelica. "My name is Ingret Muzeez. I am currently traveling with your group as Shadrak's bodyguard. It is a pleasure to meet you Milady."

"I see. Thank you very much."- the knight gave another curt nod at the purple-haired fellow. Ingret then placed the helmet that he had been carrying into his backpack, afterwards adjusting it on his back once more. Next, he picked up the large box with both of his hands, and made his way to the doll like girl. As he was reaching the blonde, the knight spoke to get her attention. "Excuse me Miss. Are you perhaps Angelica?"- the man inquired.

"So this is how I will be treated?"- the knight thought, as it seemed as though the purple people eater gruff man did not truly believe him. While he could not fault him for doing so, after all lilac hair was unusual to find on a man of his size, it still slightly miffed the old man, though he did not show it on his face. His face remained stoic, almost as if it was incapable of producing that smile he gave to the young girl from before. The fact that Shadrak did somewhat trust him made the knight slightly pleased, but again his face remained impassive. The lilac haired man gave a curt nod to the purple-haired man before replying in kind. "Thank you Norbert, it's a pleasure to meet you. I must ask though, do you know of a woman named Angelica? I was told to bring this box"- the man pointed to the large box he was carrying earlier " to her."

Somehow or another Ingret did have to play as the resident pack mule, but the lilac haired knight did not mind this job. It gave him something to focus on whilst protecting Shadrak and if he did this he could potentially score some goodwill with the rest of the team. He had heard that he just needed to drop these purchases for a woman named Angelica... "odd name."- was the ex-mercenary's thought as he arrived at camp. He got some looks a tan blonde kid, but he paid him no heed. And then a walking talking eggplant, a purple haired man with a gruff demeanor awaited the duo of knight and creepy researcher, as he asked for Ingret's name. At the same time, the young girl, who's name he learned was Tia groaned, and Ingret decided that she had done her job well. Crouching down, the knight gently placed both the large box and his overstuffed backpack, and, while crouching down, smiled softly at the girl. "Excellent work Miss Tia, I'm impressed you managed to hold out this long."- he then took the helmet away from the girl and casually held it one hand like it was nothing. Turning to the eggplant, he gave the man a curt nod before the knight launched into explanation. "Greetings, my name is Ingret. I have joined your group in order to assist Shadrak in his endeavors. Think of me as a bodyguard of sorts; I was sent here by one of his friends. And you are?"- the man told the pegasus rider with a stoic tone present in his voice.

Kay

....Sooooooooooo?

:P So will there be a timeskip in the Flight thread for those still in town?

"Understood, then I shall follow your lead."- Ingret made preparations to follow the dark mage, giving a curt bow to the rest of the party. His eyes lingered on the little girl that wielded his helmet, before positioning himself behind Shadrak and preparing to follow him to camp. Hopefully he could drop his things off somewhere, as the lilac-haired knight needed some rest; he wasn't as young as he used to be after all.

Ingret waved goodbye to the young girl saying a short, curt "Good luck." before falling back in line next to the dark mage employer. A woman who Ingret assumed Shadrak knew had announced that she was going to get a wagon from the barracks. "Does this concern you Sir? If not, then perhaps we should head back to camp and continue your research there?"- Ingret asked the dark mage what he was attempting to do. It was of no concern to the knight what his employer wished to do, he would still attempt to protect him as best as possible.

Ingret nodded wordlessly to the young girl, and rummaged around his bag for a while before he found something that the girl could carry. Specifically, it was an onyx iron helmet, to which the knight silently approached the girl and attempted to hand the helmet over. "I don't really use this often, but I imagine it's quite heavy to most people. Try and carry it, until we get back to camp."- the lilac-haired man made no comment on the magic' situation; Ingret thought that he had spoken quite enough.

Is it way too late to join?

Scorri I asked for Lumi and Starhunter's names last page. Maybe wanna check that.

"Anymore? What does she mean by that?"- Despite his growing curiousity, Ingret decided not to pester the girl with questions about why she could not use magic. Instead he attempted to shift the conversation from his blunder. "I meant no offense little lady. I apologize for my rudeness."- the knight bowed his head to younger girl, his expression as blank as ever. "If you are still looking to exercise yourself physically, perhaps I could give you some of my equipment to carry?"- he shifted his backpack, which caused the sounds of metal grinding against metal, simply to prove that he had something that the young girl could carry.

"If I may ask... young lady. If you're traveling with this group, perhaps you'd stick to a profession that is, a bit lighter. Rather than training yourself in something that requires physical effort, perhaps you should train with an item that stresses the mind? Magic might be safer for you, you would not have to get close to others, and you can fight from a distance."- Ingret asked of the young lady, then turned his attention to the pegasi owner. "By the by, my name is Ingret. I'll be joining the group as Shadrak's escort. May I ask your names?"

No, now I'm just upset cause I got Starhunter's race wrong, LOL. Anyway, I fixed it, so no more problems.

OH MY GAH! WHAT HAVE I DONE! :(

Appeasing another cool character Ingret sighed as this time, a pegasus nudged him, prompting the knight to stick his hand back into the pocket and acquiring another apple. The lilac-haired man did not attempt to do any fancy tricks with this treat and held his hand out for the equine to devour the apple. With that done, he turned to the pegasus' owner, and nodded. "Not to worry, I've been in plenty of situations... well I've met children like your friend. They're quite rambunctious." Then the knight turned to Nadya and considered what she said before responding to the nomad girl. "Somehow, I don't doubt what you've said." Then Shadrak spoke up, declaring that he wanted to leave, with Valter agreeing with him. "I don't mind leaving, but you wouldn't want to head back as a group? Course, if that's your decision then I'll go." And then a child was apparently talking to the man who owned the pegasus. All that Ingret did was look pointedly at the child, not glaring, just staring.

"Nadya and Luca? Fine names. I work for him as a bodyguard, but only on thr behest of another friend of his. She paid me to look after him and make sure he stays in one piece... Or anything that resembles one piece." -the lilac haired man told the nomadic girl.

The knight's smile extended just a bit, before returning to his usual expresionless face. Using his dexterous fingers, he managed to stop the apple from spinning and placed it into his palm, to which he presented it to the horse, allowing him to take the apple. While the horse could decide whether or not to take the apple, Ingret decided to turn his head to the side and check on Shadrak and what the dark mage was doing. Satisfied that the dark mage was allright and doing his own business, the lilac-haired man turned his head to the Nomad. "Name's Ingret, working for Shadrak over there. Yours?"
