She straightened her back, narrowing her eyes on imaginary movements below. Something about this night made Kuvre on-edge. The wind was blowing hard, rustling the leaves on everything. Her ears caught hold of noises underneath the clatter of the forest, but her mind couldn't make sense of them.
Perching high in the trees she stayed out of sight, and could see most everything below easily, though the clamor of leaves made it hard to distinguish sounds and their location. She sighed a bit and slouched again, holding her bow tightly in her hands.

[Joining with Imros]
Imros grinned, looking up from his well covered position. To think he'd out-positioned her gave him a little glimmer of pride. however today, his pride had begun to manifest itself as mischief.
He grabbed a pebble and looked over to her again, this was going to be fun, though he knew he had an equal chance of getting killed.
He launched the rock through the trees with a giggle as it rebounded off the back of the other keid's head. Now the fun began.
[Bleh! I dislike openings]

As the pebble hit, Kuvre's bow string sprung back quickly, the point of her arrow aimed towards the giggling below. She eased the bow back down and placed both into her quiver and jumped lightly from the tree. She stepped closer to the laugher and narrowed her eyes on his face.
She leaned in close to him and spoke with a stern whisper, "You could be dead right now, you know that?" She studied him for a moment, "I guess you did." She stepped back and looked around, thinking something had slipped while her head was turned. "What are you doing out here--besides causing mischeif?"

Imros grinned, "I was just playing," he smiled, looking across at her. "you wouldn't shoot me would you!" he continued in mock horror.
He straightened himself up to his full height and looked at her. "Buroba sent me to keep a look out for Fanorans, what are you doing stalking around out here?" he said importantly before making another attempt to annoy her; he was in that kind of mood.

"I should have..." Kuvre muttered, turning from him and heading back to her post, grabing lower treelimbs to pull herself up on. She quickly scaled the tree and settled herself at her post. "I am here on my own will, if you really did want to know."
She took on her previous position, pulling her bow out plus an arrow. She continued to sit in the silence, then looked down at the other Keid, "Are you going to stay down there all night or come up and out of the way?

"Oh how could I possibly refuse!" Imros cooed and leapt into the tree after her.
hours had passed and they were still at in silence. He sighed again and leant back against the tree trunk, she was being overly aloof tonight, even for Kurve. "So why are you really out here? Surely you didn't just suddenly have the urge to come and sit in the middle of the forest, way up a tree on your own," he said, making another attempt at conversation - though it seemed more like he was trying to pick up a needle with work gloves on.
He looked over to her again, waiting for a reply, whether he would get one or not was another story.

[Why yes, I always maintain maximum aloof-ness, just in case ;P]
Kuvre didn't turn to Imros to respond, but kept her eyes moving over the landscape, "I like being alone. The quiet is good for thinking." She left the subject hang--she had answered enough questions.
"So you were sent? I don't need to be sent to know my duty." She crossed her arms and leaned back against the tree, closing her eyes slightly. The quiet surrounded them for a brief while, and Kuvre rested knowing that another pair of eyes were open.

[hehe  ] Imros glared at her, "I know my duty!" he said hotly folding his arms indignantly. He was starting to get annoyed now. Suddenly, he heard a faint rustling noise from below. "You said something about duty..." he smirked, as he knocked an arrow. "Let's get too it!" he grinned and leapt out of the tree. |

Her eyes popped open, "What do you think you're doing?!" She whispered loudly, watching his body dissapear down the tree. She quickly sat up and looked down. Her eyes picked up signs of struggle, so she soon dissapeared down the side of the tree.

"Oh, Nice of you to join me!" Imros growled as he saw her appear behind him. He dived into the shrub again and dragged a small grey ball of fur. "Now what do you suggest we do with this? Who knew they were sending kids anymore," He smiled, hoisting the things up and looking at it as it beared it's teeth. "A itsy bitsy Fanoran," he giggled, poking it on the nose and narrowly saving his finger from being eaten.
"Well...What you reckon, let it go or give it to Buroba?" he questioned, turning around.

"Be careful, this one can still be dangerous." Kuvre said, though a smile had grown on her face. She took a few steps around the Fanoran, examining it carefully. "Let it go, I don't think this is what we need to worry about."
She pulled an arrow taught across her bow, "Go on, I'll make sure it goes the right direction."

"You Sure? I mean, it's got a tongue in it's head and we've no idea how long its been out here and more to the point...what it might have seen," he mused, hoisting the ball of fur a little higher, surveying it again as it beared it's teeth again. "It could still talk...Still want to let it go, Buroba might be interested in this little guy," Imros reasoned, looking back over to the other keid.

She gave him a frustrated look, then inched as close as she could to his ear, her voice barely audible, "This is just a distraction, can't you see?" She took a step back and eyed the creature. How could something so small be so packed with evil? Then, turning to Imros, she spoke, "You can take it wherever you want, but we better keep on our guard."
She tightend her grip on the arrow still strung across the bow. She craned her neck and strained her eyes to penetrate every shadow. No movement.

Imros looked at her with raised eyebrows. "Distraction?" he asked,as he looked back to the small Fanoran "You a distraction little guy?" he cooed but watched Kurve surveying the area.
"You think there are more up there?" he whispered, looking into the 'empty' trees.

"Why else? This little fellow couldn't do much more tha--" But she stopped short, a snap caught her ear. It came from the left. She quickly aimed her bow directly toward it. She took a careful step closer, and then another. A flash of birds ascended into the sky, startling Kuvre. An arrow went flying up, into a tree, showing down leaves and small twigs. She quickly jumped back, hoping the clamour wasn't heard by anything else that may be around.
The little Fanoran smirked, it's large eyes watching the leaves drift down around Kuvre. "And you think I'm no threat?" It piped out.
She turned, her face still displaying shock, "I never said that."
