[i] He catches her before she falls out of the tree, and teleports to his camp deep in the jungle. It's quaint, a large tent next to a smoldering fire. He builds the fire up, igniting it with a lighter, throwing some logs on it. He lays her down on a bed of grass, stripping her of her armor and doing a once-over of her body, determining what's wrong with her.[/i]

[i] Her shoulders sag and she nods[/i] " And yet I have seen and touched him and spoken to him as clearly as I speak to you now."
-
"Your probably hoping he's alive, and your minds tricking you into thinking it."
-
"Seeing out of the corner of my eye I could buy that but, I could touch him. Maybe you are right I just think I would know for certain if he was dead."
-
[i] He shrugs.[/i] "I'm a swordsman, not a psychiatrist." [i] He grins.[/i]
-
"You know what, I'm not crazy" [i] she's visibly upset, picking up her sword she leaves [/i]
-
"Echo!" [i] He calls.[/i]
-
[i] She ignores him[/i]
-
[i] Suddenly his figure blurs in front of her and solidifies, as he is in front of her.[/i] "Where are you going." [i] He says it oddly more like a statement then a question.[/i]
-
[i] She glares at him,[/i] " I know what I felt and now I am going to find someone who doesn't think I'm crazy!"
-
"I didn't say I thought you were crazy. And what, you're gonna wander off into the jungle with nothing but that toothpick?" [i] He glances at the Wakizashi.[/i] "There's a lot of dangerous things out there, and I'm probably the most dangerous one here. So if you don't want to get eaten by God knows what out there, it'd be a good idea to stick with me." [i] He says, those icy blue eyes staring right through her.[/i]
-
" FIrst you think I need a shrink now you say I can't look after myself." [i]Shes dithering, she's angry and she wants to find help but it goes against her nature to disobey anyone in seniority. She ebbs up so angry her armour closes around her and she draws her sword [/i]

[i] In one fluid motion Ronin holds a white and gold katana, the blade humming with blue energy, and he holds it down to his side.[/i] "I know that you can take care of yourself. I can see it in your eyes. But trust me Echo, although you know virtually nothing about me, I'm someone you want on your side, more so than anyone out here." [i] He steps closer to her, maybe 6 inches of space between them as Ronin looks down at her from his height of 6'2".[/i]

You ever wonder why your out here all alone Ronin, because I think I know." [i]she spits the words like daggers , as she vaults back firing 4 shots about knee height , she's aiming to get out of the clearing.[/i]

[i]The bullets meaninglessly glance off his armor, his figure blurs and she finds herself on her back, his katana at her throat and his knee on her stomach, pressing down lightly.[/i] "Echo, if you'd let me help you, I will. Stop acting irrationally, and calm. down." [i] He says, calmly and soothingly.[/i]

[i]she is so incensed that she doesn't know how to respond to him touching her,she just stares at him in shock.[/i]
-
[i] His hand stays on her face, his touch cool and his hands smooth, despite him obviously being a warrior. His icy blue eyes gaze at her.[/i] "Seriously Echo, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you or upset you."
-
[i]Still furious she glares at him, but unable to do anything . She wants to pull away , but instead she just sits there, as her eyes drop and she catches herself just before she leans into him.. [/i]
-
[i] He sees the small movement and smiles.[/i] "We okay?"
-
[i] She nods feebly , inwardly she is in turmoil, now not only angry with him , but with herself for not just being strong enough to walk away. She stays staring at the floor.[/i]
-
[i] He stands up again and holds his hand out for her once more.[/i]
-
[i] She still can't bring herself to take his hand , she just gets up , dusting herself off. She stays staring at the floor.[/i]
