Katriana smiled a little when Kale told her that he would be right behind her, it did feel a little better indeed if he would be behind her in case some more people would be glancing at them it would certainly look as if Kael was urging her somewhere. If she would of been the one behind him they might of thought that she was going to finish him off somewhere quietly or something like that. Katriana's lips pulled into that thin line once more as she considered that before taking a deep breath, starting to walk towards the trees she had indicated when she saw something glisten in the corner of her eyes. Having caught her attention she stopped mid stride, surprised Kael didn't bump into her like she would of if someone did that to her, she figured he had better reflexes, was less prone to clumsiness and was probably watching her too. Coughing a little self conscious she diverted from the path she had chosen to the trees and made a little detour to check what was glistening. Moving closer Katriana noticed it was her naginata that she had dropped when the arrow of Kael struck target in her shoulder, she cringed a little at the memory and absently stroked at her shoulder. She hm'ed softly and decided she could collect it later, it would certainly look better if she didn't walk around with a weapon in her hands for the time being, until everything was sorted out of course. Katriana turned her gaze back onto the trees, not really wanting to explain to Kael about her short detour but she decided that if he should ask about it she had better make a good excuse. Katriana mentally made a note on how the ground seemed more even on her newly chosen path and decided that would be the perfect excuse. It was pretty obvious Katriana couldn't help but stumble over the smoothest of surfaces so her picking the smoothest one possible would certainly make sense over her choosing one with lots of obstacles. Smiling to herself, quite smugly, Katriana made her way over to the trees, settling herself in the shade with her back against the bark of the tree. She smiled at Kael when he followed suit.

Kael followed closed behind Katriana as they headed towards the trees. Stopping before he walked into her when she had stopped abruptly and went on a quick detour. Shrugging his shoulders as he slowly followed as Katriana had then again changed her direction back to the trees and Kael followed suit again. Smiling in return to Katriana's smile as he approached the shade of the trees and sat down beside her.
"So what was with the little detour Katriana?" giving her a slight smile.

Katriana's eyes flicked over to the shine coming of the naginata in the distance before she turned her eyes back onto Kael, she shrugged lightly as she shifted her dress around her "This was the most even path to the trees that I could find, I thought it might be best if I didn't fall flat on my face to attract even more attention to myself" she explained, trying to keep her tone light 'as if I don't get stared at enough already' Katriana thought bitterly as she noticed people staring at her from the corner of her eye, they really expected her to blow up or something. Katriana sighed and smiled at Kael, trying to keep her face pinned up in the smile and her eyes as blank as possible "So, ready to share how you escaped..uh...well...technically not my attack but for convenience sake we'll call it that for now" she asked, still smiling at Kael

Kael smiled back at Katriana and then nodded slowly. Knowing that she wasnt telling him something, as he turned his head slowly towards where her eyes drifted and noticed a shine in the distance. Returning to look at Katriana as he smiled softly and then began to talk.
"Well Katriana it was very similar to the move I had done earlier in the battle. The one I had made multiple copies of myself that would disappear on damage. But those would only cause the attack to go through them, and I wanted the perception that you done what you wanted. So instead I copied myself but gave it physical properties so it would act and look like the real thing happend. And just before your attack managed to me I had managed to get out the blast area and used the debris of the attack to hide my movements from you easier. And so then I waited, one for the debris to settle and two for you to let your guard down thinking you had won."

Katriana listened to Kaels explanation, frowning a little when he tried to explain to her with words that made no sense to Katriana sometimes that she had actually been focusing on a mirror image of Kael, who in fact had been safer than most bystanders at the time of the explosion. Luckily for Katriana the other Katriana in her head, explained how this was the case, it was a really simple spell she explained in Katriana's head but she wondered how Kael knew about it. Katriana bit down onto her lower lip as she smiled at Kael "Uhm..this is going to sound weird, but uh...the other me..wants to know how you learnt that particular spell" she said, making a face after she finished, realising how weird that must sound indeed. She stared at Kael, wondering if he was going to answer her or ask her what she meant with the other me.

Kael smiled at Katriana from her question, nodding some.
"Ah, yes. ever since I was a child I amazing gifts. My village had powers over magic. And my family had the strongest roots of it. Even though since I was a child and had enormous amounts of magical energy, I was excellent with a bow. My parents taught me until te elders of the village stepped in and trained me. Not because they wanted to, only because they feared me and wanted to control me. So I left never to return.... Oh Im sorry, I didnt mean to tell you about my life, I learned the spell when I was child during my teachings from my parents." as his eyes left Katriana and trailed off into the distance in the direction his village was.

Katriana smiled when Kael disclosed more than he needed to, the Katriana in her head gave her mental nudge making her pay more attention as she had begun to imagine Kael as a little kid. Katriana remembered a couple of things about growing up with magic as she wondered if it had been the same for Kael. Katriana nodded a little as Kael concluded his story, she noticed his eyes moving into the distance, Katriana looked into the direction his eyes wandered to before settling back onto Kaels face "You miss your family" she said more than she asked "What made you come to Erumara?" she asked, her head tilting.

Kael smiled some and nodded very slightly.
"Yeah, I miss them sometimes. But like I said Im not going back. And I said why I came. I came because I wouldnt let the elders of the village control me." his eyes returning back onto Katriana as he gave her small smile.

Katriana frowned lightly, the Katriana in her head urging her to ask more about his reasoning to why precisely he chose Erumara and not someplace else, Katriana shushed the other Katriana mentally as she turned her smile back on and looked at Kael. "So, you came to Erumara purely because it was the nearest town, or was it luck that got you here while wandering away from the control of your elders?" she asked, trying to make the question sound casual.

Kael smiled at Katriana and then let out small laugh still smiling. Nodding his head once again.
"Oh, ah yes Erumara was the closet town to my village. But I didnt come to the town. I lived in the forest. and dont be shy about asking me anything you like." giving her a soft smile once more.

At the last words Katriana winced a little an explosion of questions being hurled at her by the other Katriana in her head when the only question Katriana herself could come up with was 'where did you get your bow' it seemed a trivial thing compared to the questions being launched at her mentally. Katriana bit on her lower lip as she considered acting as a middle person for the other Katriana and ask her questions for her, or if she would just let the girl have at Kael herself. She smiled a little at Kael as she fiddled with the folds of her dress "How would you feel if I introduced you to the other side of me, she has more questions for you than I do and I don't really want to be the third wheel so to speak" she said, frowning a little at her own words. "If you want to that is" she said looking at Kael still "She won't hurt you.." she paused "I think" she added as she posed that as a question to her other side and receiving a mental shake of the head. "no she won't hurt you" Katriana then said with finality, smiling.

Kael leaned back more against the tree and resting his also against the bark of the tree while Katriana asked him another question.
"My bow? I made the bow. Is there something you like or dislike about it?" his head turning to her with a curious look on his face.
Giving her a soft smile again as she began to ask him if its alright for her other side to come out and had said she didnt want to be the third wheel.
Shaking his head at and still smiling at her, "Id be glad to meet her Katriana. And dont ever worry about thinking that, Id never think that about you." giving her an even brighter smile to comfort her.

Katriana smiled at Kael "oh, really, I like your bow, it's pretty, I was wondering where you'd got it" she paused "because its excellently crafted" she added as an afterthought. She still fiddled a little with the folds of her dress as she sat still with her back against the tree "Well, I'd probably let the other me take her entrance" she said as she got a mental grin from the black haired Katriana "Sorry for the change in appearance by the way, we're working on that" she said as she closed her eyes, knowing her hair would likely turn black again. Sighing Katriana turned inwards 'okay your turn' she said mentally to the other Katriana who smirked and slipped into control gently so not to upset her hostess to much, slowly Katriana's hair began to turn black though some streaks remained a light blonde and curly. It was a weird view when Katriana opened her eyes, the rims of her eyes were pitch black but around her irises were halos of light blue. "Hi" the other Katriana spoke in her slightly lower voice than Katriana's high pitched one "Sorry for earlier, I thought you were going for the kill" she said with a light shrug, folding her arms as she stared at Kael.

Kael smiled and began to blush slightly as he got compliments about his bow. Still giving Katriana a soft smile as he nodded to her.
"It's alright Katriana. I wont frightend by your appearance changing." giving her yet another smile before began to change.
His eyes fixed on her form as he watched her begin to turn black though some blonde stayed behind unlike his first encounter. Kael came out of his trance of staying at Katriana as she began talking to him again.
"Hello, oh and dont worry about it. I can hold my own and I understand you were just worried for her life and its quite understandable. Well Katriana said you have lots of questions for me? Ask away, I'll answer the best I can for you." smiling as he then leaned back against the trunk of the tree and began to relax.

Katriana turned her eyes onto Kael as she appraised him, she hadn't really had the chance to look at him properly earlier when she was trying to stop him from damaging her hostess. He was good looking she could understand why Katriana would of felt guilty if she had actually killed him. Katriana's black with blue eyes locked onto Kaels bow, she remembered Katriana's pondering about where he got the bow from which had triggered a question of her own "so, may I ask why you pursued archery when you show promise in the magical area?" she posed, staring at Kael.
