"It depends on a person's point of view."
"What do you mean?" Jakys asks, turning to face her, gaze studying

"What do you mean?"
"I would want the integrating tribe to teach me of their ways as I taught them ours, and I would wish for there to be a way to keep all customs alive," she answers without hesitation. "Our people and their way of life is fading fast, and the last thing that should happen is for who we are to be forgotten."

Falling silent, Jakys watches her a moment before his feet carry him forward, hand latching around her wrist, green eyes studying hers

Esper starts as her wrist is grabbed, and Onyx tenses to lunge, though he immediately steps down as a small twitch of her finger on her other hand. She studies him closely, brows drawn.

"Seems I was wrong about you, princess." Jakys murmurs, studying her face intently, so he won't forget it, small smirk "You are suited to be Sherai."

At first, she's uncertain, though her spark comes back for a moment. "I swear I will take her place," she murmurs, "Even if you were to stand in my way." However, her voices lowers as something about him seems off to her, her dark eyes watching his movements.

"I swear I will take her place. Even if you were to stand in my way."
"Perhaps I'll even help you." he murmurs, smirking at her before he stiffens, screaming as a knife sinks into his ribs from behind
"Why don't you speak for yourself." Jak murmurs, twisting the knife in the man's back, slicing his heart. Watching as the clone turns into dirt and falls, his eyes flick to Esper before he collapses forward onto the ground before her unconscious, head bleeding heavily along with his hand, skin paling fast

"Perhaps I'll even help you."
"Why don't you speak for yourself."
Esper jerks with a startled cry, eyes wide as she stumbles back, Onyx stepping forward as the second Jak falls and the first turns to dust. Neither of them move for a long moment, and the wolf is the first. "M'lady--"
"I know," she croaks, stepping forward slowly like a startled animal. She kneels down, and upon seeing the blood she jumps into action. "I may hate my sister," she murmurs, reaching and rolling him onto his back, pulling off her cloak and using it as a pillow, "but I'm not heartless. Make a paste, and be quick about it. And find my salve in that bag," she gestures to the one she recalled Jak carrying in the woods from when she gave him a salve when they first met.
"Yes, m'lady." Onyx quickly got to work, pulling what he needed from the pouch at Esper's side and began to work as she takes Jak's cloak to wipe away some of the blood, having nothing else on hand.

"I know. I may hate my sister, but I'm not heartless. Make a paste, and be quick about it. And find my salve in that bag,"
"Yes, m'lady."
Drifting in and out of consciousness, Jak groans softly as she starts wiping at the wound, eyes cracking open into slits. Gaze disoriented, it flicks her way, irises dilated as he tries to focus, sight blurry as he reaches up with his hurt hand, grasping her sleeve weakly, blood making his grip slippery "You.." he murmurs, eyes closing when his head starts to throb, arm falling

"You.."
"Don't move yet you idiot," she snaps quietly, gaze finding his face as his eyes close, and immediately she stops and reaches up, grasping his face and taps one cheek. "And don't you dare fall asleep on me. Wake up, Princeling. Come on. Don't make me shove snow down your throat."

"Don't move yet you idiot. And don't you dare fall asleep on me. Wake up, Princeling. Come on. Don't make me shove snow down your throat."
Groaning, Jak forces his eyes open at the tap, green eyes clouded as they find her face "You really know how to get someone's attention." Jak mutters, half delirious as he reaches up, brushing her hair back away from her face, arm falling shortly after "You.. Look good like that." he gets out, fighting to stay awake

"You really know how to get someone's attention. You.. Look good like that."
She stills and stares at him as his hand moves and brushes her hair away from her face, beads clicking as a braid slips over her shoulder. She doesn't more for a long moment, and when she does a hand reaches out as she says, "Onyx." A small morter is placed in her hand and she takes her other hand and dips two fingers in the paste, gently dabbing some on his forehead. "You're delirious," she murmurs quietly. "You don't know what you're saying." Then to Onyx again, "Where's the salve?"
The wolf sets it by her, then stands, "I'm going to retrieve--"
"No, you're not," she commands, picking up the salve. "Once we get the salve on, you're going to help me carry him to the abandoned camp."

"Onyx. You're delirious. You don't know what you're saying. Where's the salve?"
"I'm going to retrieve--"
"No, you're not. Once we get the salve on, you're going to help me carry him to the abandoned camp."
"Only half." Jakys murmurs quietly, eyes closing but still awake "And I meant it, I think." breath hissing out when the paste is applied, he turns his head slightly, exhaling "Why are you helping me? You hate me, and your sister."

"Only half. And I meant it, I think. Why are you helping me? You hate me, and your sister."
"I don't hate you," she murmurs, sealing the salve and taking the pack onyx holds out, putting it and the morter up inside. She takes his arm and gently pulls him up. "I have no reason to, even if you are meant for Iberia. Onyx."
The wolf nods and shifts, stepping over. Esper helps Jak onto his back, and when Esperanto asks Onyx if the princling was too much, he gives a shake of his head.

"I don't hate you. I have no reason to, even if you are meant for Iberia. Onyx."
"You are a confounding woman." Jakys mutters, breath hissing out when she pulls him up, teeth gritted as she helps him onto Onyx's back "Wait.."
