"No it isn't. That's why we're going to the village in the first place." Hisashi said, sighing.

"Well, it is fixed, regarding the tank - thanks to Jezzebelle," replied Cerilla, "All we really need is oil to get going."

Aurel shook her head. "It's closer than you think," she said.

((Seriously, where is everybody?))

"Whatever." Hisashi said. "I'm beginning to not care."

(Thinking the same thing myself)

Cerilla gave a look at Hisashi, but it wasn't full of irratation like usual. "Why not?" she asked softly.

(i'm thinking its the holidays. people prob on vacations.)

Melody ignored Hisashi, she didn't want to start something.

Hisashi just sighed. He'd probably get in trouble.... again.... if he voiced his displeasure with this ragtag bunch of misfits.... again.
"Never mind. Forget I said anything." He muttered.

Cerilla didn't reply, she just nodded and looked away.

"We are here," annouced Aurel, stopping thick and dense bushes. She waved her hand over it and a doorway appeared and lead to the village. "Follow in," she said, stepping through.

Cerilla didn't reply, she just nodded and looked away.

"We are here," annouced Aurel, stopping thick and dense bushes. She waved her hand over it and a doorway appeared and lead to the village. "Follow in," she said, stepping through.

Hisashi hesitantly stepped trough. He didn't really trust doorways that led to somewhere he didn't see.

John followed through behind Hisashi not quite sure what to expect

Chillax followed along as well, tense and prepared for anything.

Melody followed along, waiting for whats going to be beyond the doorway.

Cerilla and Zerven followed in after the others.

Once everyone had passed through, Aurel closed the pathway and turned towards her village. It was quite rural and it had some-sort of a medieval look to it. The buildings weren't high - like most of them in Zarien. It was pretty quiet too considering the time.

A man who held a spear and seemed to be on guard gave Aurel a funny look. "Who are these strangers?" he asked.

"Travelers passing trough." Hisashi answered. "Now lower your weapons before I raise mine."

John looked around rather glad it was quiet as he would quite like to make this a quick and discrete trip

An irratated expression flashed across the guard's face and snapped, "You can't tell me what to -"

"Relax!" Aurel itterupted, "It's true. They wish no harm on us, just a place to stay for tonight and fuel for the morning."

The guard sighed, nodded and lowered his spear.
"Thank-you," Aurel said, and passed by the guard. She turned to the group and explained, "The leaders of the village are asleep now. It'll be rude to awaken them now. So you'll have to wait till morning to get your fuel.

John sighed for a moment he thought the guard was going to attack, "ok then, so where abouts are the leaders?" he asked

"Just as rude as getting a spear to the face?" Hisashi said, getting his hand away from his sword when the weapon was dropped. "It would be ruder to keep people, who might be in a hurry, waiting. I say we wake them."

"why didn't you tell us that before we came here. im with hisashi on this. you should wake them up." Melody said.

Aurel sighed heavily, "Why can't this wait till morning? They won't be happy..."
