Two-beat could be heard only lightly across the eerie atmosphere. The sound came from that of an unusually spotted sorrel mare. The mount faithfully carried its cloaked rider into the fog covered area. The rider soon pulled the arabian mare to a halt. A bow and quiver were upon the rider's back. Back arched over as the rider patted the mount's neck gently. "Kethu.. It's time for a rest. Can't have you running yourself into the ground, now can we?" Lyrics were soft and light. Frame soon dismounted, ground tying the mare. Optics flashed around the place swiftly... 'Good..No one's around...And that's saying something.' Slight laugh could be heard from her as she patted the mare once more. Palms pulled the hood off of her head. Features showing that she was of course, a lass.
Palms pulled the bow off of her back. Frame knelt beside her mount, that of which was now grazing contentedly. Optics closed softly. So many things had happened...Things she couldn't believe that had happened. So many lies..Too many. Heavy sigh was released from her as her optics opened once more. Gaze flickered across the area lightly and slowly. Many wouldn't be able to see her from all the fog. But she could see them..And she liked the form of surprise anyhow. It made things...easier.

Enter Rapahel [/u] ]"I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake."[/center][/i][/color] The fog was simply unbareble that he couldn't tell where he was leading his Gelding. Breathing out irritable at the thought he lightly stops Ruse and slids off his horse. "I can't see where we are." he muttered softly. His horse as though understanding what he was saying flipped his head up and down vigorously as though he was agreeing. I shouldn't have betrayed him like that. he found himself thinking. He had just backstabbed the only true friend he figured he would ever have. For Raphael was deffinately a hard guy to like. he wasn't your typical every day man but rather a misanthrope. he hated people.. he couldn't stand the way they breathed, they way they talked, looked, or walked. Every thing about them was truly just an annoyance. His gelding moved slowly at his side with his head low but ears every so often flicking back and forth. As though he was listening for something. To Raphael's surprise there was some one infact near by for when it hit Ruse the gelding began to get very alert. He was such a social butterfly and loved to meet others. The complete opposite of his master. "Hullo?"[/size]

Limbs began to stretch lightly but stopped short when her mare lifted her skull towards one direction. Lyrics cursed under her breath. Then she heard it...heard one of the things she hated most. Now it wasn't the person that she hated, just the fact that they got the upperhand on her. Her ability was normally quite accurate. Her optics held it all..Frame basically jumped with surprise as she heard the vocals of another. She spun, bow ready when she was facing the same direction that her mount was so interested in.
Now you could say she was a bit..paranoid. But with the way she grew up, who wouldn't be? Plus her extraordinary eyesight that can is much more sensitive and stronger than others...That didn't see this one man? She tensed up as her mount moved off, a slight nicker being released from her vox. Her jaw tightened, there were days when she was just totally annoyed with her mare. Optics tore away from the moving mount to searching for the being.
When she finally found him, her bow lowered. It just seemed to be a man who was lost in all the fog. "Who is it? " Lyrics spoke gently but cautiously. Optics closed for a few seconds, she couldn't believe why she had just done that. Normally she would just run off to her mount and disappear..

The fog was thick in places to where you even couldn't even see an inch infront of your face. But oh dear dear reader, don't mistake him as being just a normal young man. YOu would be horribly mistaken. For Raphael held the movements like a ninja. he ability to pull quicker reflexes then one simple human could possibly ever wish to exicute. Of course he was a grand at swordmen ship but better in hand and hand comat you could say thats what he pefered
His eyes squint only slightly and when he felt his horse pullat his reigns lightly he clears his throat. This was rather unsettling to walk into something you don't know. Of course he was like your average ninja, excellent hearing and he didn't doubt his ability to protect himself with just using that sense if he had to. But of course he would rather see as well.He was very well disciplined when it comes to his abilities. When he heard the answer he pauses but his gelding kept trying to move as he nickers softly into the mist. he lets go of the reigns as he pulls his hand towards his sword now finally seeing the figure of a woman. Jaws tighten lightly as he felt his mount brush passed him before he could grab him. "d**n it." he cursed.
he closes his eyes for a second and then reveals his dark eyes again."Raphael. Who am I talking to?"

Gaze stayed upon that of the man. The one who called himself, Raphael. She had actually been hoping that he wouldn't reply or something to that effect. She could see him more clearly than he could see her. Well for the time being. But that didn't really mean anything. All it meant was that she could see him, nothing more nothing less. She stood there silent for what seemed the longest time. Her lyrics finally answered in casual tones. "Annalise."
One word. One meaning. That's all he had asked for. Matter of fact, that's all she had asked for in the first place. Optics scrutinized him only slightly. Really she didn't care, I mean, she almost shot an arrow at him for goodness sake. But she wasn't that cold hearted to do such a thing without a perfectly good reason. 'He's not a threat...yet..' With that thought being repeated in her mind, her palm relaxed lightly on her bow. The arrow still in her fingers. Her shot was generally dead on, except for that one occasion...
She shook her head lightly at the thought. Optics soon diverted away from him searching for mare. Whistle sounded from her vox when she finally spotted her. But the equine ignored her, obviously interested into something else. "D*mned horse.." Restrained sigh escaped from her. That mare could be a handful sometimes, though she was quite faithful to her. Gaze went back to the man. "So Raphael..anything I can help you with, or are you jsut passing through?" She decided to get to the point. She didn't see any reason to sit and dilly-dally when there were better things to be done...It was just the way she was towards aquaintances..But then again, no one had ever struck her fancy for her to even be interested in enough to stick around..

Raphael kept his head on his sword as his eyes lowly started to adjust even the slightest of bit. Eyes wandered around trying to find his steed but finding it to no avail. When he had heard the woman speak again eyes tried to travel in that direction he thought he heard it from. "Pretty name." was all he said. Of course it wasn't very often he commented on a name and she had better feel pretty d**n special. Raphael was a diffrent type of soul. Slept with woman in order to get a good nice sleep in a bed and then leave them in the morning with out a word. He spoke bad about people to their face and if he didn't like you.. you surely would know it.
He could see the vague outline of the lass and he clears his throat as his eyes move once more trying to find his equine who seemed to find it fun to torture him in so many ways. Why must Ruse be so sociable, Eyes wandered back tot he female as she spoke once more and he lightly shrugs. "Well I was wandering.. Until I lost my horse that is." His eyes moved away as he turned from her and then back again and he took a few steps towards her.

Annalise shook her head lightly at his last statement. She barely noticed him step clsoer to her. But then again, he was probably just trying to see her through the fog. She was thankful for the commpliment, but at the moment, she was focused on the task at hand. Palm that held her bow and arrow raised lightly. SHe put the arrow away then slung her bow unto her back. Gaze flickered towards her mare. Thoughts rambled on. 'That must be what Kethu is so interested in..'
Sigh was released from her once again. Lyrics soon following. "Well I might be able to help you...That is, if you want my help. Otherwise, I'll leave you to your wandering." Optics flashed back to him quickly, she finally noted him getting closer. Her gaze narrowed only slightly. Skull nodded slightly before returning to gazing at Kethu. Why she did that, she wasn't sure. Annalise soon went on once more. "You see, I can see my mare...And I wouldn't be surprised if it was your horse that she was so interested in, to make her run off like that.." Her skull shook softly, lyrics being spoken under her breath. She finally turned back towards him after a few moments, awaiting a reply. Luckily she had the patience of a predator hunting skillfully..even if he was just an aquaintance.

His eyes traveled back to Annalise when she spoke about helping him and he lightly shrugs. "If you feel you have the time." He said. Of course his tone wasn't exactly stating he wanted help nor was it saying he didn't. It was just flat. Nothing hidden nothing spoken. He listens as she speaks again and he nods. "Perhaps... Ruse does tend to be more social then I want him to be." He mutters lightly. Of course why wouldn't he wander to a mare!? Males never thought with the head on their shoulders but rather the head else where. Even if he was fixed and couldn't exactly breed that didn't give him any less excuse then to act like a stud. "What say you? Shall we attrive them?"

Smirk crossed her facade at his first comment. 'If I have the time...Right. Like he really cares that much..' Skull shook slightly as he finally sounded like he had made a decision. Lyrics spoke quickly, but casually all the same. "Try to keep up..I'd rather not lose you as well in this fog.." With that her frame spun, in the direction of her own mount. She took off at a fast pace. The faster she got to her mare, the faster they could get to finding his.
Another whistle soon sounded from her. Lyrics murmuring the equine's dubbance softly. "Kethu.." Only once did she glance back to see if Raphael was behind her..If not, well his loss. Or at least that's how she felt. But in the end if she got to Kethu and was near his mount, she'd probably return it to him. Gaze stayed locked onto the now stationary mare who was staring in their direction. Kethu's auds pricked towards them. Annalise quickened her pace. With Kethu's attention on her, she had a chance to catch her now...Else she might loose her to the fog once more. The only two things she couldn't see were Raphael who was behind her , or at least that's waht she was figuring, and his horse..

His gaze hardened as she spoke as though she truly cared if he got himself lost in the fog. Puh-lease. No one asked her if she truly wanted to help him or not. So he moved after her as she started off at a quick pace. but lets see.. are you forgetting? He had the lightning speed of a ninja so keeping up with her was no sweat for him. He keeps his eyes steadily on her as they moved. Glancing around her he could soon see his geldings outline who was standing near the mare. As he persumed him to be. "d**nit Ruse." he muttered to himself. No Raphael wasn't a happy camper. Most deffinetely not. All he wanted to do was get out of the fog and get to a place where he could see. This fog was giving him a head ach.

Frame took her straight to her mare, the gelding having come into view a few paces before getting to them. Lyrics cursed under her breath towards her mare. Optics glanced in the direction of the gelding. Soft pat was given to the mare, then she mounted swiftly. Palm pulled the reins wanting her mare to back up a bit. But instead, Kethu spun in a small circle. "D*nm..Kethu!" Kethu tossed her skull wanting her head. Palms released the tension in the reins, the mare settled. Jaws tightened once more, as she noted Kethu was being unusually bull-headed. Optics glanced towards Raphael, not saying a word. Though her gaze soon diverted back across the area..It was so easy to see things...Kethu soon began to prance, a slight nicker emitting from her vox once again,.

As the Anna moved towards her mare he went steadily towards Ruse who backed up from him. "Come on Ruse." he muttered tripping over a root from a near by tree. Raphael growls lightly to himself before he caught himself trying to regain his composure before heading back towards his gelding, Hand extended outwards towards his gelding who stood there looking at him as though he was dumb.
Finally he reached his gelding who tossed his head to try and break the grip that held onto him. But moving him he almost seemed to eager to go. Looking up at her he nods his head. "Thanks for your.. help I appreciate it."

Gaze falshed back towards Raphael as she heard him speak towards his gelding. Smirk crossed her facade as he tripped over the root. Yet, it was unfair how she could see it so easily, she knew. But that wouldn't stop her from enjoying show of the man speaking to his horse which seemed to act smarter than the man. Skull shook softly, the smirk still there. Eyebrows rose as Raphael spoke towards her. She had actually expected him to just mount up and leave. Palms pulled lightly at the reins of her mare. The mare side-stepped obediently, only her gaze giving away her dissatisfaction for having to leave.
Nod was given towards Raphael. "Your welcome, Raphael...Have fun gettng out of this fog." Tones were light, even if one couldn't see it, they coudl definately tell that she was smirking. Gaze shifted away from him and his horse. Palms rose and flipped her hood back over her head...It covering her facial features. Legs pressed lightly against the mare's sides. "Alright Kethu...Let's go." Tones were light and soft. But her gaze never returned to that of Raphael. At least not right away. Kethu took off at walk, light nicker escaping from her vox once more, but not resisting the guidance of her rider. Anna turned after a few paces, as if she were goign to say something. But nothing came, her frame turning back to view where she was going...

He was quiet when she spoke. For once his misanthropic ways actually really calm. But then again he was in no postion to pose a threat either. He breaths out heavily and moves towards the side of Ruse and mounted up. Watching as the mare moved from them and nickered sweetly. Ruse had done so in return. he shook his head softly and Raphael nudged him into a walk. he hadn't noticed her look back at him for he was to busy trying to see where he was going, makin sure not to run into a root and make the same mistake twice.

Anna groaned when Kethu halted. "D*mn it all Kethu..." Lyrics were angered only slightly from their light tones. Kethu had stopped having heard the gelding reply back to her. She tried to kick Kethu into a trot which she enjoyed but the mare didn't move. Biting her lip she turned to see where Raphael was at. She shook her head at what her mare was wanting. 'I can't believe I'm abou tto do this..Kethu better be happy..' Palms gripped the reins lightly, Kethu turned on command.
Optics glanced around as they headed back towards the slow moving duo. She pulled Kethu to a halt when she was a few paces from them. Lyrics spoke up a bit flatly, as Kethu was prancing in place. "Need an escort out of the fog? Or would you rather wander aimlessly around?" 'Which would amuse me greatly..' Smirk crossed her facade lightly at her own little pun. Now if he responded with a no, so be it, that's how she'd want it anyhow.
