"You aren't going to even describe what we're looking for? Not even a little?" he asks as he undoes the top of his pants. He looks over at Bast, his face silently asking her to help him.
Bast lifts a hand and makes a lazy circle in the air. "Kitty will have to tell you. I am not familiar with this lamprey," she says, kicking her feet a little to propel her into deeper water. "Or perhaps Orzad knows of it? My people travel the Longo Drom, not the water."
Orzad Finishes washing his armor and clothing looks up and notice that Goddard and Eartha are on the shore with bast near by. Orzad decided to see what is going on " what is everyone doing?" Orzad said as he was approaching the group.
Eartha looks up at him with a grin. "I am trying to get Goddard out of hiz clothing zo I can examine hiz body." She then turns back to Goddard. "What are you doing, dear Goddard?"
"Very well zen, but if you are filled wiz poizon and partz begin to fall off zen zere iz nozing I can do to help. We muzt drain zee poizon early and often to keep zee zwelling and pain down." She stands and turns, letting her tail brush against Goddard's chest as she goes and retreives her dress.
Goddard grits his teeth and gently grabs onto the end of Eartha's tail before she gets too far. "Well...when you put it that way," he mutters. "It's better that I may theoretically die from embarrassment than actually die from poison lampreys..."
Bast starts laughing until her whole body shakes, effectively dunking herself into the water. She comes up sputtering and choking, black hair throttling her.
Eartha twitches her tail from Goddard's grasp and continues to walk away. "No, dear Goddard, it waz unfair of me to not rezpect your fair zenzabilitiez. It would be bezt you to die untouched by a female with your honor intact than to rizk a tranzgretion wizz one zuch az I." She turns and looks at him as he sits on the ground. "I feel we could have had zuch enjoyment, but, perhapz ziz iz bezt."
"No no wait!," he stands up and goes after her. "Don't say that. See now I don't feel bad that I could die. I feel bad that I may have offended you somehow."
Eartha stares deeply into Goddard's eyes. "I just wizsh zee bezt for you and want you to be zafe, zat iz all Goddard. I wanted to make zure you had not been hurt in any way." She looks down as a tear begins to trickle down her furry cheek.
Goddard's face turns red and his ears press flat against his head. "This is so confusing!" he groans. "Ok fine!" he finally calls after them. It'll happen at some point anyway...get it over with...sheesh...
He kicks off his pants and then turns his back to them, crossing his arms. Not like I have anything to be embarrassed about anyway...not to mention I could very well die if this is all true...and I don't want to die...
When Bast sees him removing his pants, she gasps and turns her back to him. "Kitty! He's done it! I- I can't see him like that! Make him dress, or take him away!"
Eartha's eyes widen when she remembers Bast's upbringing and beliefs. "Oh Goddard, we have done a terrible zing, we muzt get you out of Bazt'z zight quickly!" Eartha reaches out, taking Goddard by his 'handle' and begins to pull him into the bushes and out of Bast's line of vision. "I am zoo zorry my dear Bazt, I muzt have lozt my mind." She continues to pull Goddard into the woods so he can be properly examined. "Oh Bazt, can you ever forgive me?"
"No, No, we muzt hurry or Bazt will have to marry you for zeeing you in zee zkin. Her wayz are very powerful and zshe muzt obey zem wizout queztion." Eartha continues to pull Goddard, now using both hands to lead him away from Bast.
Bast quickly swims to the bank and retrieves her clothing and towel. Wrapping herself tightly, she stumbles away from them and deep into a hedge of her own.
"I- I should go," she says, quickly changing into clean clothes.
Eartha pleads with Bast from inside of the leafy coverage they have found. "Pleaze Bazt, ztay. We haz hidden zee partz af Goddard zat you cannot zee. Zingz will be fine now." She continues to hold firmly to Goddard with both hands, every time he attempts to get away, she tightens her grip on him.
Basts' fingers shake as she buttons her vest over her blouse. "Bad enough Maman sends me so far away to travel with men," she mutters yo herself. "Now they're getting naked and molested by Kitty."
"Don't you have claws?" he stammers a bit worried. In one last effort to pull away, he suddenly falls backward as he temporarily phases free of her grip. He stumbles through a tree before he finally is able to regain his balance.
"Well, yezzz, but only when I ned zem. I would never claw you there Goddard." Eartha looks into his eyes and smiles. "Not unlezz you wanted me to." She stands in front of him with her hands on her hips, still completely nude. "Now let'z check you out for any damagez or parisitez." She then begins to move toward him.
Orzad returns to the lake "Where is everyone?" He looks around and doesn't see anyone. i could use a nice peaceful swim Orzad walks to the far end of the lake away form anyone that might see him and starts to removes his armor and cloak and shirt just leaving his pants on and jumps into the lake
Eartha's ears perk up when she hears the sounds of splashing in the water. "Quick Goddard, get dressed. We must see who has found us." Eartha quickly moves off into the underbrush without a sound. She arrives back at her dress and quickly slips it on and watches the water for a sign of what is causing the splashing.
Orzad decides to just sit at the bottom of the lake for a while and enjoy the feeling of feeling like he did before he became a machine. Orzad slowly pokes his head out of the water to see if anyone is around before he full emerges from the water.
"Seriously?" Goddard exhales. I was starting to be ok with this...still don't know why I keep randomly phasing though...
Goddard quickly makes his way back to the water and jumps in. He swims to where he had left his cloak and puts that on before he wanders off to collect his pants.
Eartha quickly picks out Goddard as he breaks through the forest and jumps in the water, she laughs to herself as she watches him swimming toward the shore. Strange he would put on his cloak before protecting his lower body. She then realizes that Orzad was the one that entered the water and drew her attention away from checking Goddard over. I must stay focused or I will never be happy. She then moves through the underbrush toward Goddard as he begins to slide on his pants, making sure his back is to her.
Orzad hears people near and in the lake and quickly dives to the bottom and swims around the bottom trying to see who is near the lake. And if possible get out unseen.
Eartha watches the water and wonders. What is he doing? He'll drwon if he doesn't come up soon. She settles into the brush and continues to watch Goddard and Orzad, wondering what to make of them.
Goddard gets his boots on after he finishes buttoning his pants. He doesn't put the daggers away though. He moves back onto the bank and takes a seat on a log then begins to sharpen the blades.
Once Orzad is sure that there is no one near the shore where his clothing is at he slowly makes his wait trying not to get spotted until he can get his cloak on. Orzad then takes off his pants and hang them to dry and uses his cloak to keep him covered form any peering eyes while he just sits by the shore.
Bast lifts a hand and makes a lazy circle in the air. "Kitty will have to tell you. I am not familiar with this lamprey," she says, kicking her feet a little to propel her into deeper water. "Or perhaps Orzad knows of it? My people travel the Longo Drom, not the water."
