    "Knight... calls... we... are aware of them, but that is the xtent of our knowledge... We - they - cannot distinguish the calls amongs nature, nor know their meaning..." A sigh of relief fell, cool from Josai's lips. Some part of her waning, as her head fell against the Once-Seer. Skull against...

    Private The Less I Know the Better

    Josai bore the dig of claws without a sound. Her breath, her connection to the shroud, and the weave of the mirror veil which protected them there amidst that patch of the balewood, those were the things that occupied her waking mind, half dipped into the realm of dreams as it was. Sounds...

    It was almost frightening. How easily this... person, fell into the disciplined form of a warrior. Even disfigured as they had been by the very ones that gave chase to them. No... Four acolytes, trying to prove their worth without the help of a Seer. "Game for my spear point," Josai said...

    The movement of the staff had Josai twitch to attention. Weighted through her core as toes spread and dug into the earth. Muscle rooted and rounded to flex, as breath emptied and spear point grew still. The air in her lungs chilled. The staff knocked against the ground. A hollow thunk. The...

    Twas the chime of the silver bell, its star bright shell come ring gainst obsidian's knell, that caused the Knight Witch to look up from where her fingers dug through the dirt. Vial full of the rich darkness that still clung to the tips of her nails and coated the pads of each digit. She saw...

    Private The Less I Know the Better

    Where the wind blew through the trees and the leaves rustled and rattled against the branches, Josai walked. Winged spear firm in one hand, as charms of bone, obsidian, and silver rattled against red cedar haft with the drop and stretch of each of her steps. The tool's butt-end thunk, thunked...

    "...Chrysantemum." The witch's eyes followed there in the wake of the priestess' own. Saw all that rippled betwixt them and the shrinking figure of Bartus down the road. Going up that hill. "Bloody idiot," she cursed. "Is there strife in your company?" Her eyes, like dragonflies, glid...

    A slow nod came from the wide-capped witch. "A green heart then," she said with a gentle smile. Had her own heart been so, once? The bone charm that hung from her spear rattled against the black sphere of obsidian. "Very well," she welcomed, and sat down before the instruments she had so...

    "Sturdy, dense," she nodded along. grinned some. "I've dated a few men could be described as such," she laughed. "None I'd right call brave though," she shook the thought away. Blinked and remembered herself. Went on listening to the young squire. A quirk upon her lip, as well as her brow. One...

    Private Green through the Thumb

    A pleasant little hum came from the Sworn Knight's throat. A nod. Slow at first. Then faster, with an excited rhythm. "Well, that is a thought, isn't it?" she said, happily. "To each be born with a language shared, only by those who know it, each with its own wind of words, to then, come...

    Josai looked to Rovias, then to Mund. Shrugged, and waited for the little drama betwixt the group all to play out. She would be there, ready to pour drinks as they were ordered. Made clean those little thimbles of drink spent, and horns emptied. "Didn't realize you knew so many of the sworn...

    A raise of brows and a curl of smile. "Well, then," was all she said. Heard the order. Something cold. Nod. Picked up the full horns, and put them to the keg of the Loves you Not. Bright, bitter, and crisp. Took nice to a bit of cold. Set them down, gave a blow of breath across the tips of...

    A little laugh sounded from Josai's throat, almost a knock that come from the back of her throat. A thrum. "Good," she said upon hearing the youth's repose. "You aren't shy with your thoughts," she said with a hint of warmth. Ripples come rain across a clear pond. "Wouldn't know how to behave...

    A warm quiet from the barwitch, past the drink, as all the words poured over. Was the sort of thing that made the work worth it. Pour a bit of poison. Have a bit of fun. Hear stories come free from everyone. The little guards, and looks. Smiles, half shields as they were open arms. "On their...

    A fresh recruit. Josai thought with wan smile. She might have been the worst person to teach a fresh recruit. Though, she supposed that the young woman had shown interest in Death, and then chose the Wyld. Well, she supposed she could see the roots to it. The wiring paths that spread through...

    Private Green through the Thumb

    Teaching was, still something that was starting to form within Josai's mind. Never quite saw herself as a teacher. Hardly liked taking on assistants and helpers when it came to manning the bar at the knoll, or the medicant hut. Yet, she understood the importance of it. Least, she thought she...

    Venla Thiel. But please, just Venla... An easy nod. "Josai of Ihreco," she gave. Hand already scooping up the horned mug Venla had so drained, scoured it with ash and sand, and gave it a rinse. Set it down a moment. You should hire her. You two make one hell of a pair. "You think so?" Josai...

    Josai looked down at the purse, scooped it up. Opened its saggy mouth with a quick tug of strings, and a dip and spread of fingers, just wide enough. A measured nod. Strung it tight, and stashed it in the folds of her robe. "Should about do it," she said with a grab of his emptied horn, turned...

    Josai could not help but laugh, a cool and breezy thing, come the man's poetics. He certainly had a flair for the dramatic, didn't he? Fun to be had in that. "Flatterer," she said, voice all unbothered mist. A finger tap tapped at the counter top. "Sweet and honeyed as your words are, you pay...

    A long snout pointed down at the little lady, lookin up at him. Something like stars in her eyes. Or maybe that was just a play of the sun hanging high over the lot of them. Climbing higher still. Bartus hawked a gob of spit onto the damp earth. The kid looked up to him, then down at the...
