The Dark Tavern

"My name is Lady Olivia of Egna, but I no longer am part of Egna. A few weeks ago, I ran away from the royal court because of the rules and all of the ettiquette I had to memorize every single day," said Olivia as she slowly coughed out each word carefully. She took a drink of water from her tankard and looked up at the strangers more carefully.

"Before I tell you my name, does that mean you no longer hate the enemy of the kingdom?"

Sakura nodded. She knew she knew this girl...had she visited her own castle at one point in time?

"It is nice to meet you, Olivia," she said kindly. "I'm Sakura Hiyomato." she told her, smiling. Her staff jingled as she bowed slightly. She usually didn't, but since this girl was from royalty as well, then she figured she might as well. sakura didnt want to seem rude.

"I ran away from Egna, do you really think I still like it?" asked Olivia as she began to slowly get up on her own.

Sakura laughed. "Then she blinked. "Wait! i know you!"

"...You mean you get free education, and you ran away from it?" asked Vash bewildered.

Sakura looked at Vash. "Vash, you know how its like. You saw what happened to me back at the volcano." she said, frowning. Ah, back at the volcano. Not a memory she wanted to relive; she had almost gotten her new friends killed.

"Free education? I don't want to be a dainty lady at court! That's the last thing I want to be. I ran away so I could be free and on my own," said Olivia stubbornly as she began to walk.

~recap~

(Of what?)

"Um, Olivia, wait. Dont listen to him, he could get anyone angry..." She caught up with Olivia quickly. "I'm certain I recognize you," she repeated. "Olivia of Egna, you and your kingdom visited my own in the past, and for the period of time you were there, we took lessons together." she said, hoping it was the same person.

Olivia turned around at the mention of her name and she put her hands on her hips in utter disbelief. "Are you really. . .but how could that be? I mean I haven't seen her in ages," said Olivia as she stopped and put a finger to her forehead. "Lady Sakura? The one who helped me play tricks on our tutors all of the time because we just wanted to giggle and laugh about it."

"It is the very same girl," she answered with a smile. "I never thought I'd see you again, espiecally after I left," Sakura added. She quickly looked over her shoulder at Vash, who hadnt spoken yet.

"Olivia, when did you leave Egna?" she asked. "I didn't hear any news, so it had to of been recent, right?"

"I left about two days ago. I've been wandring the rodas trying to find a place to stay and hopefully make it to another kingdom. That way I can become a lady knight like I have always wanted. I've never been able to because of all of their stuffy and boring rules," said Olivia as she pretended to jab a pretend sword through the air. She danced around until she stopped and looked back at Sakura.

"And who do you think will teach you?"

Sakura smiled as Olivia stabbed the air. "I did not hear any news about your 'escape'. I've been busy the past few days, and I guess word doesn't travel fast in these woods," she said. Sakura flicked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'm just...wandering for now," This was actually the half truth. She did have a purpose for leaving her royale Princess' life behind, but wasn't keen to reveal until she must.

uh huh, yeah, egh, there's a loud scream. Those who check it out will find a huge lizardlike man dress in arabian clothes called a muktar. In his hand is a small clear bottle and inside is Tela and Yue. (Wow, watching Cartoons help 😛 )

He then climbs onto his huge two legged lizard bird ride and gallops off into the distance leaving hardly any trace he was there.

((Um...wtf? 😑 ))

(((In other words, I quit because i'm so far behind I wouldn't know what to do.)))
