“Interesting little group you having gong one here.” She smiled again, and relaxed her sword arm a little. It wasn’t exactly lowering her defenses, the waters were still highly restless and she was a mere step away from a speed defense. I wonder if these people are other elementals’ she thought to herself, This could get entertaining..
“To make this entire swamp clean would take me many years and would destroy this Eco system. Which I have no desire to do. And to purify this amount of land would exhaust any one”, she knelt and grazed her hand lightly over when could possibly be another pond if it were not full of grime, the water seemed to clear itself for about a meter circle around her hand before she stood up to turn and face him again, the clean patch of water slowly inching outwards for a few more seconds like an infection. “Why are you here anyway? You’re an odd group to be scouting swamplands..”

Wikd shrugged. "We're not tourists, if that's what your asking, or unfamiliars to this place's nature. We've been here for a while; it's just not out of a particular area of a swamp. I didn't deny we're lost..."

“I don’t think any one would come here to be a tourist, unless of course their dream holiday is of much and murder.” She shrugged her self and wandered over to a stone that was slight protruding from the pond. She jump up onto in and sat down, a little bit more comfortable than standing around. Her feet gently skimmed the tops of the water.

Wikd yawned. "And what, might I ask, do you think happens to tourists that come here? They get lost, they wind up covered in filfth, and there are rumors that when they wander into a certain area of the swamp they get mistaken for vile things and killed. Not that they aren't but I mean more vile than they actualy are. to the point where no good is yet left within them. I may or may not be a hunter seeking the person who is causing the killings of said people, or I may just be a person who has come to train. Murder is not what is intended, and muck is always to be expecred in a swamp."

“Most people that come here to tend to get themselves a little worse for wear.” She leaned back a little on the stone, still skimming the water, “Swamps tend to do things to people’s minds, If you get lost here for long enough you lose some of the parts that make you, well… you. And generally, who hasn’t hit a few people as the walk through this place. Only the strong or the hiders get this far in…”

Wikd grinned. "If that's true, then we must be incredily strong. We've been training in this swamp for a full year."
Blaze nudged Orion and pointed him in Wikd's direction. "Come on; horsey girl apparently thinks the information we may or may not be able to give her wouldn't be helpful to her job, whatever it is. Let's go find Wikd." They headed thataway.

She batted back the night; it was dark, and shady in this swamp...
She turned roughly, pausing for a moment to fetch out her compass- she should be moving north...
Ah, she had to turn the other direction- she was veering off trac-
Oh, drat.
It was them again.
However, before she could bolt the other direction, she heard one speak of a job- was she "horsey girl?"
This angered her long enough to pause, debating wether or not to be angry with them- and she heard something of a job... what where they talking about?

Orion and Blaze stopped, Orion first. "You do realize, don't you, that without a side to serve we have to be careful? We have no allies to defend our mistakes. I wouldn't call anything a job now; those people we had to kill were bad enough."
"It doesn't matter; it's in the past. All we need to do is find a boss, and then we're home free again."
"What boss would take on three disobedint mercenaries? We kill when we're attacked, but you kill when somebody ticks you off. I agree; a bboss would be good, and one that can keep you in line."
Blaze spat fire at him. "Oi, bugger, lay it off. Besides, I know what you're thinking, but out pact was that our boss commands our respect, and horsey girl don't yet."
(Hehehe.... sorry. That was just to get her attention again.)

Sh felt the swarm of hot, fired steel in her veins, her hand immediately swarmed to her sheath- she drew forth the sword in a shattering of light and sound and tugged her horse into action- she was before them.
She kept her blade balanced and upon them, and snarled, her brow furrowing violently,
"One of you two pansies want to call me horsey girl again?" Her cloak unfurled to one side as she swung her horse into a still position, and, her growl rolling on, "I am in mind to kill you now from what I have over heard, and not just the name calling."
However despite her fury, part of her was chilled into planned action- she needed as many men on her side of the war as possible; and if one of them was thus inclined...
[OOC: Haha, don't worry about it. It DEFIANTLY worked ^^. And, another thing- just so you know, Deft will eventually calm down and be suitable for normal conversation, don't worry. I hope our at least on of our characters can, eventually, get along well. ^^]

Orion pointed at Blaze. "He's the one that killed people that invaded. Wikd and I just killed those who attacked. As for the two of us, well, it'll be hard to take on just one of us, let alone two of us. He'll do it." Orion's face was blank, but Blaze was shooting him a dirty look.
(Orion's a shirker but is quite strong.)

She raised her eyebrows, and, before she could stop herself, her breathing tattered into laughter.
The picture was, after all, amusing; this man pointing at his friend, as though he had been caught thieving too much dessert.
"Well, I won't harm you for killing invaders- I'm stronger then I look, I'm sure I could put up an at least decent fight, don't you worry." She kept her smile bitter and then, added, "It's Deft, by the way. My name." And, a shadow crossing her face, asked, "Mind if I ask what it actually is that you do; if not assassination? That's the general impression I had before."

Orion blinked. "Well, we are still assassins, technicaly, or at least mercenaries for hire. We just have been here for a year training and haven't had any real work for a few years now, not since this freaky black dragon was about."
Blaze slapped his head. "We're not supposed to be that old, remember? We're young people."
"Hit me again and I stick a knife up your-"
"Tryit and I'll stick a sword up yours."

She raised her eyebrows, and, sheathing her sword, the sound curling momentarily, and said,
"Well, don't worry. You're aging well- I would not have guessed." She laughed again, and, sheathed her sword, saying, "I'm going to hope for the best and assume you're not going to attack me. You know my name, what are yours?"
She flung her leg to the side and sprang lithely off her horse, it was a gesture of politeness where she came from; and she would need to be polite if she wanted to quench her curiosity...

Orion sighed. "Names are a valued part of information am not sure we can trust you with."
Blaze glared at him. "I'm Blaze Woodspark, the lazy little bastard is Orion White, and Wikd Black, somewhere around here, is our nerd."
Orion muttered at him, "moron."

"Now, then- I gave you my name: what sort of person would I be to abuse the privilege of abusing yours?" She grinned and held out her leathered hand, saying, "There now. You can shake it- it doesn't have any poison on it. I assure you."
However, her other hand fluttered and rested on the hilt of her sword- just in case. Orion didn't seem to be that friendly...
