Then he wanted her name. Why did everyone want that!? Still, he had a good point. It was good for trust. Granted, she didn't know if she trusted him completely so... she went with her middle name, "Rose," short and sweet. "I say we drink on it," she said, flicking a flask out of her jacket and lifting it. "I assume you have your own beverage of some kind?" she didn't trust anyone else to offer her things, hence why she carried her own. Granted, her flask just had some freshly squeezed grape juice in it... but he didn't have to know that! Ryker Tremaine

Ryker smiled when she said her name: Rose. It fit her, sort of. Whatever. Even if it wasn't her real name, he liked it. He'd have no problem remembering that either. "A drink it is,"he said with a smile, reaching for his pack and pulling out his canteen. It was only water- he didn't believe in drinking on the job- but there was no need for her to know that. "Of course I do. Now since this is your idea, how do you want to do this? Just a drink or a promise followed by a drink?" His voice was almost teasing/sarcastic, but he couldn't help it. This felt so old school, it was hilarious. Rose was fun. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

She moved closer to him now, close enough to lift her flask toward him. "We vow not to kill each other unless the other one kills their friends," she said, lifting her flask with a raised eyebrow and a little smirk. If he made contact with her flask she would drink, if he didn't well... that'd be a whole other game for them to play. Still, she felt like the vow she had said was fair enough, right? No reason to promise not to kill each other all together, Ryker Tremaine

Ryker raised an eyebrow at her suggestion. Where did that come from? Then again, it was a reasonable agreement. He really had no intention of killing her friends and he didn't think she meant to kill his, so it wasn't a declaration of war exactly. He smiled and nodded. This young woman was so random. "Agreed," he reached forward and quickly rapped his canteen on her flask. That's how things like this were supposed to be done right? He wasn't sure, but he lifted his canteen to his lips and took a quick drink. He might as well seal his part of the deal properly. Hopefully she would do the same. "Now what?" he asked as he moved to put away his canteen. Were they supposed to keep talking after something like that or should he just leave? It was situations like this that made Ryker so annoyed he grew up aboveland. He knew absolutely nothing about manners or how to interact with people the right way. Oh well. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

She smirked as he agreed and tilted her head to the side as he asked what they were to do next. "Now we discuss each others secrets, but only some of them," she said with a small chuckle, crossing over to sit on a log and gesturing to a rock across from her. "Or at least try to get to know one another, if we want to be able to trust each other we mustn't remain strangers. First topic!" she exclaimed, holding hr finger up into the air. "Do you know of woman named Manisha and the dragon Noctus among your ranks? I met them yesterday," she said, shrugging a bit at the memory. The dragon was friendly and kind whereas the woman was... a little bit of a hard head, really. Which, admittedly, Amelie kind of liked about her. Ryker Tremaine

"Secrets," Ryker mused, once again taken by surprise. What was it with this woman that was so surprising to him. She was entertaining and appeared to want to be mysterious and he didn't understand it. He chuckled softly when she introduced their first topic. "Manisha? Yeah, I know her and her dragon Noctus. They're newer and tend to keep to themselves more often than not, so I don't know much." He smiled, imagining the kind of run-in they might have had with one another. Manisha could be considered hostile by some people. "How did you all meet?" he asked curiously. He wanted to know if he was right so he couldn't help but ask the question. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

So, they were new. Interesting. "Eh, we ran into each other at the lake. Noctus was nice," she admitted, "but Manisha was a bit... strange. I spend a lot of time at that lake, honestly. Ah! Secret number one, you know where to find me," she raised both eyebrows at him rapidly before chuckling and gesturing to him. "What about you? How long have you been a part of Excalibur?" she asked, hoping that question wasn't too personal. It really didn't matter to her either way, but it would be nice to know if they were going to be friends or something. Ryker Tremaine

Ryker rolled his eyes as she claimed that she'd admitted her first secret. Sure she had. Here she was, asking him questions so that he could share his "secrets" while saying that mere slips of the tongue counted as hers. Not that Ryker was upset over the fact. Merely amused. She was such a unique individual. He was sure that if they actually did become friends, he would enjoy their acquaintance quite a lot. At her next question, Ryker shrugged. How long had it been? He wasn't exactly sure. He thought for a moment. Time passed so quickly, he hardly paid attention to it. "It's been years. I think somewhere from 6-8 ... but I might be wrong," he gave himself room for error. He didn't want her to think he was lying. Then she'd probably break off their truce or something. "It's been a while and I don't normally pay too much attention to time. How long have you been with your friends?" he asked in return. It was about time he started asking questions, right?

6-8 Years!? That was a long time, though not as long as the Knights who were practically trained at birth. Amelie had dodged that bullet. "Well, do you like it?" she asked. Then he asked how long she'd been with her friends and she shrugged. "Only about a year, actually. I don't remember much of my childhood before that. It was... well, let's just say it was worth blocking out," she chuckled, though it was clear that there was some dark stuff she was pushing aside. She didn't want to burden this guy with her childhood daddy issues nor with her inability to remember most of it. Plus, that was personal! "It doesn't matter, anyway. They're my family now. What about you? Family?'Ryker Tremaine

She seemed surprised at his response and Ryker couldn't help but smile. "It's just right for me. They're like my family and I would do anything for any of them," he was sure she wasn't asking for that declaration of loyalty, but he wanted it crystal clear where he stood. He would defend Excalibur until his last breath. Granted, that wasn't much since he would by dying soon .... Without meaning to, he frowned and stared at the ground in a daze for a while. Then it registered that she was talking. Ryker shook his head, trying to get rid of his annoyingly depressing thoughts and he looked up at her. At her nervous chuckle, Ryker nodded slowly. Clearly she had some bad history and he didn't want to make her dwell on it any longer. He was about to ask her another question when she started talking again, asking her own questions. This question was harder than her last. His family. It had been about ten years and he still missed them. "I lost them," he started off vaguely. "A dragon killed my parents when I was twelve. I had a sister, but I never found her. I don't think she made it either. That's why Excalibur is so important to me. They took me in. They're my family now, just like your friends are yours." He changed the subject. "Have you and your friends been in these parts for a long time? I can't believe we've never run into any of you before."AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

Amelie let out a low whistle as he made that little declaration there. She nodded, ”I understand,” since she didn’t have one of her own. They were still alive, somewhere, her parents- but she wasn’t going to bother looking for them. They were simply two people who gave birth to her and that was it. Not family. She had also broke into a frown and almost didn’t notice that he had too. She looked up at him and kicked the dirt a little in passing. Then she asked her questions and he answered, speaking of how he lost his family. ”Guess a lot of people around here have had to resort to others for family, right?” she said slowly. Then she shook her head, ”I’m sorry you lost them that way, though. I can’t decide what’s worse… them bailing on you or them being dead.” her eyes widened as she said the ‘dead’ word, knowing that was probably insensitive. ”Though… your sister… have you ever looked for her?” she asked. Then she answered his next question. ”My friends have been here for years and years, I’ve only had them for one. And,” she chuckled, looking back down at the ground, ”the others are a lot better at staying hidden. I’m still learning and all,” she admitted. Ryker Tremaine

Her response to the way he answered his question confirmed his original idea to tell her what truly happened. It had been the right thing to do. Her frown indicated that she felt bad for what had happened to him, which was something he appreciated. Then she said that many people had to find family among those who really weren't their family. Ryker nodded sadly. He didn't know what happened to her family, but obviously she'd lost them for one reason or another. "Yes. Family doesn't always get to stay with you, or they don't understand you," he added, thinking of some of his friends in Excalibur. Not all of them had lost their families the same way he had. Some of them left their families. Then Rose said something about not knowing if it was worse to be bailed on or dead and Ryker decided that was probably what happened to her. He decided not to comment on that. Then she asked about his sister. A familiar pang hit Ryker's heart. He thought that over time the pain of losing his entire family would have dulled, but it hadn't. He'd only grown more accustomed to the pain. He forced something that he hoped vaguely resembled a smile, but he wasn't sure if it did. "Trianna." He paused when he realized it was the first time he said her name in years. "Yes I looked for her. I searched for her for weeks. She was so young, I can't believe she made it far on her own. I couldn't find any sign of her. I still find myself looking for her when I'm in the forests alone or when I meet new people, hoping that one day I'll find her, but I don't think she made it. I can't help but wonder if the dragon found my parents in the first place because she'd walked off and they were trying to find her. I think the dragon got her first." he confessed sadly. He didn't know why he was telling all this to a stranger, but he was. He hadn't spoken of Trianna in a long time. He sincerely smiled at her answer. "Well if you're worried about that, don't. It comes with time and practice. One year is not normally enough to make up for a life-time of practice," he tried to tease her, not sure how she would respond to that either. "What do you like most about life with your friends?"

She nodded as he agreed with her that family doesn't always stay or understand. She was quiet as he went on to talk about his sister. She nodded at the end of his story, her face calm and understanding-- a rare thing for Amelie Chairmont. "I'm sorry that you lost her that way. That's terrible. But, I admire that you still have hope. Hope is something I don't see in many people anymore," actually, she barely saw it in anyone. Not even in herself. Her merry band of fools, no matter what they called themselves, they had no hope. It was clear to them that the world was bad and it wasn't going to get any better. She knew that, she believed that, but it was nice to see someone who felt differently Someone who felt hope. Someone who had love. She shook her head slightly, her smile returning as he said that it would all come with times and practice. Then he asked what she liked the most about being with them and she raised her head to look at him again. No one had ever asked her anything like that. She tilted her head to the side, surprised at the question. "I... I don't know. I guess that we're carefree. Not bound to anything or anyone but each other. Even then we have our... limits. It's simple. We live one day at a time."Ryker Tremaine

Ryker gave a small smile to the young woman in front of him. "Thanks." Suddenly he had an idea. Not that he thought it would make a big difference, but he might as well try. "You know ... I know a place where everyone has some hope. I don't know what you've heard about Excalibur, if anything, but we believe in the future of earth. You know, that it actually has a future, where dragons and humans live together."
He smiled as she said what she liked about her group of friends, but he didn't exactly know what to say to her. "I guess that makes sense," he said with a smile, to make sure she knew he wasn't being critical. "How do you like it?" he asked without even thinking. What else could he say? AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

Then he went on about Excalibur and she raised an eyebrow at him. She knew about them, yes, but only a little bit. She knew they were friendly with dragons and that was strange enough to make her stay away. At the word future she leaned back slightly. That was something she hadn't allowed herself to think on, and if she started to then she was afraid she would get lost in the idea. "I've heard of it, yes, briefly," she said, shaking her head slightly. "I'm not sure if it's something I really care for. At least as far as I know..." she raised an eyebrow again, challenging him in a way to convince him to convince her. Then he asked how she liked it. Her friends and her life. She shrugged. "It's good enough for me. I don't need much more. What about you? Do you like this Excalibur?" she asked, her tone skeptical again. Ryker Tremaine
