...Strange Land...

She looked at Crow, "We need to soak her foot in a stream, so the swelling will go down." she said looking at Ashellie's foot as they walked.

Crow nodded, "Theres one not to far from here...I could use a nice swim.".

Christabelle glanced to where she heard nawt's voice, "Not going to try anything are you?" she asked out into the forest.

Crow glanced over at Christabelle not saying anything, he whiffed the air when the sound of rippling water caught his ear.\"Its over there.\" he said pointing to a cool crisp stream as he hurried towards it.

"Awesome," she said following him towards the stream.

:mhmmmmm.... nothing right now:

Crow took a knee when reaching the bank and sat Ashellie down where she could soak her foot. He stood up and started to unbutton his shirt before sliding it off and setting it down along with his holster. "Wheee!" he squealed as he jumped into the stream.

Christabelle laughed as crow jumped in the stream. She sat down on the bank of the stream next to Ashellie, "Nwat, so you ever going to tell me why you're following us?' she asked their vampire stalker.

"Maybe he has a crush on..you~." Crow teased before diving underwater to trying to catch some fish.

"Wouldn't surprise me." she said smiling. "Or he's just doing it to annoy me."

Crow knocked his forehead with his palm forgetting to introduce himself. He swam towards the bank and emerged from the depths when reaching it. "Pardon my rudeness Christabelle, I am Crow Westward P.I." he said with a outstretched hand.

Christabelle laughed a little at him, "Well its nice to meet you Crow." she said taking his hand and shaking it.

He smiled at her, then caught a glimpse of a salmon swimming passed him."Fishie." he said child like as he dove after it catching it and bringing it to the bank. "You hungry?" he asked holding the salmon by the tail as it flopped from side to side.

She laughed at him when he dove after the fish. She held out her hand when he held out the fish, "No I'm good, thanks."

"Ok then..you don't know what your messing out on." he smiled while taking a bite out of the salmon. "Mmm." he sat down on the bank nearby Christabelle and Ashellie . But looked away in another direction as he ate.

"Oh I think I do." she replied laughing. "Raw fish just doesn't appeal to my tastes."

"If only you had my taste buds." he said crawling down the bank and like lighting catching another one. Taking bite out of it as he took his seat again. "But I suppose Elven people would be more vegan." he said tossing the remains of the other fish into a nearby bush.

"I don't know about many other elves but I'm rather vegan most of the time." she said laughing.

Crow nodded as he gnawed along the bones and slopping up the excess meat. Before tossing it away as well. Then wiping the blood off his face by the stream. "Berries are good." he said as he walked up to them, "Especially Maw berries." he smiled at her then looked over at Ashellie. "Hows her foot doing?".

Christabelle looked at Ashellie's foot, "The swelling has gone down some." she replied putting it back in the water.

((Sorry she isn't here....))

Crow nodded, pulling a cigarette out of his jacket pocket and lighting it as he inhaled. "You swim much?" he smalled talked.


(( I know. '_' ))

"Sometimes." she said looking at him light his cigarette, "I wouldn't dare try to in this part of the forest though." she went on to say looking around.

"Ahhh cause of Vampires?" he nodded sarcastically as he exhaled.

"Yes, thats one of the reasons." she said as she watched him smoke his cigarette. "This isn't exactly the safest place to be."

"One of the reasons?" he arched a brow. "What other reasons are out here?" he asked taking a drag, then blowing out smoke rings to amuse her.
