IC: Rloa stares at the ground. It be 13 days and still havn't found it Rloa looks up to the sky again wish i could fly but can't aford to be notice by them or be over run by a sandstorm when i'm up there Rloa stood up there was a clang of metal bottols and tools on his side that he tide down to save room. the Desert noon was unforgiveing as always and Rloa could hardly stand it he felt like he was about to melt but, he keeps going he was after the fire's armor a name given to a army 1 man fighter and experment gone wrong appertly after it crashed some were in this dessert but was never found it was made to uplink with the user's brain making it faster and more responcive with a pilot but according to the infromation that was leak to the press that the pilot lost control and it crashed. That what Rloa was after. He inmageined it now something powerful and fast as that thing would do good in races he could strip off all the weapons and the un-needed but something broke into his mind it was his freind. He rembered her exact words <span style='color:purple'>"What makes you think you can find it when the army using all their high-tech crap couldn't find it? well?"</span> Rloa mutters to himself <span style='color:blue'>"why don't you shut-up</span> and Rloa truges on towards a small encampment that was he hope still there. cuase if not he is almost out of water and that was bad....
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td>May I? I'll use <span style='color:yellow'>Sage</span>.</td></tr></table> <span style='color:yellow'>"'S friggin hot"</span> Sage muttered to no one but himself as he trudged through the dust and the sand. It was burning hot, so hot the whole dessert shifted like a mirage and wavered before his eyes. He couldn't even muster the energy to really swear the way he wanted to, just to let off some steam. Maybe that would have gotten rid of some of the heat, but he was never really going to find out now. He dug around in his pack and withdrew a bottle of water which he took a sip from, keeping it in his own tiny shadow as though paranoid it was going to evaporate at the slightest touch from the sun. He squinted through the heat haze, trying to figure out where he was going. This was what he got for wanting to see the dessert. Lost, hungry and hot. Joy. Just what everyone wanted. He suddenly spotted something on the sand, a deep blue blur that resolved itself into a 'dragon when he squinted at it. Joy rushed through him and he ran towards the figure, using more of his strength then perhaps he should have. <span style='color:yellow'>"Hey!"</span> he called as he ran<span style='color:yellow'> "Wait up!!"</span>
Rloa looks back as he thought he heard somthing then spots the source and cures under his breath <span style='color:blue'>just what i need, companey. </span> Rloa didn't run it might jsut raise alarm and suspion and that the last he needs is having something else to look over his shoulder for so insteds his sits waiting for the person to run over here. <span style='color:blue'> he going to kill himself running in this heat</span> Rloa shakes his head.
Sage got within ten yards of the other 'dragon, then collapsed, panting. He fumbled out his water bottle and sat on the ground, legs folded, as he drank. He peered up at the other, a male, his face covered by a kind of gauzy cloth. Sage smiled weakly, liquid dribbling from the corners of his mouth. <span style='color:yellow'>"Hello. Got anything to eat?" </span>He smiled his biggest, most disarming smile and offered the water bottle up towards the 'dragon's face <span style='color:yellow'>"If you give me food, I'll give you water."</span>
Rloa sighs as he gets up off his hunches that was some offer food for water in the desert such offer was not made often. Food he can last without water he can't and he new this.well if i can save as much of my water as possable was the first thought that went into his mind. <span style='color:blue'> Ok, you got your self a deal</span> Rloa stands on his hind legs to drop the backpack full of stuff and drops down on all fours again then opens it and pulls out some cured non-flavored meat. <span style='color:blue'>here it dry and has no tast but it has energy in it and will fill you up</span> Rloa smiles as he offers it.
Sage swallowed the tasteless meat-like leather substance in one bite, just managing to remember not to simply tear it out of the other 'dragons fingers with his teeth. He chewed and smiled happily as his empty belly filled slightly, the meat reviving him. He looked up at the other, realizing how much younger he was. This guy was just a kid. <span style='color:yellow'>"You do know that now that you've fed me, I'm going to follow you around forever and ever"</span> he informed the other <span style='color:yellow'>"I'm Sage by the way. Who'er you?"</span>
Rloa blinks to the sudden frankness of the fellow <span style='color:blue'>Well it looks like i know now,....my name is Rloa</span> Rloa doesn't want to give his last name for he don't know if the person a foe or not. It was strange tho some one out here not prept to take on the desert all the way out here <span style='color:blue'>not mind me asking, but what are you doing out here?</span>
Sage waved one white paw. <span style='color:yellow'>"Bet"</span> he said by way of explanation <span style='color:yellow'>"I lost a bet." </span> He smiled up at Rola, his face open, the tattoo around his eye crinkling. <span style='color:yellow'>"I know it's dumb, but that's what happens when I get drunk."</span> He shrugged. They'd just waited until he passed out, brought him down here and left him with nothing but the backpack he wore. He hadn't expected anything different from them.
great a drunk was the first thought that went into his mind <span style='color:blue'>well i tell you what you will find no rum out here unless you want to die faster that stuff will soak all the water right out of you</span> Hmm need to get going now if he sticks along he might be useful but i'm sure I will lose him later on if he don't prove to be on my side Rloa bows a little <span style='color:blue'>well i'm heading to a small campment over there to get water and more supplies</span> Rloa pulls out a compas to right himself and truges on.
Sage hopped to his feet and followed, the sand puffing up in little explosions when his feet hit. <span style='color:yellow'>"Rum?"</span> he asked incredulously <span style='color:yellow'>"Do I look like I would drink rum? Seriously?"</span> He ran a hand through his spiky hair <span style='color:yellow'>"No man, I like my beer thank you very much. Rum"</span> he laughed to himself as he hopped along, the sun burning on his fur. <span style='color:yellow'>"Though I guess a kid like you wouldn't know much about alcohol."</span>
Rloa just rolls his eyes in silence and keeps walking towards the socalled encampmentI hope it is still there Rloa looks up at the sky. Not much light left must find a good spot to camp at Rloa looks back <span style='color:blue'> So do you have any gear or must i share my tent?</span>
Sage grinned <span style='color:yellow'>"Uh huh. Oh come on, it's not gonna be creepy or anything. Please?"</span> He gave Rloa his best puppydog eyes and tried to send him some kind of mental message but the other 'dragon's cold look made him wonder if there was any communication with him ever.
Rloa snorted <span style='color:blue'>"well then it don't look like i have much a choice do i?" </span> well i guess i'm stuck with him for now. Rloa started to climb a dune sure enough on the other side was a flat spot good good place to camp out in Rloa walk down the dune and drop all his gear he didn't pull off the mask yet but he set to setting up the tent.
Sage flopped down into the sand as well, beside Rola's gear. <span style='color:yellow'>"Am I really that annoying?"</span> he asked, turning his head to look at the other 'dragon above him and getting sand in his mouth. He spat it out and stared up as the sky, one hand shading his eyes from the burning sun.
again Rloa was surpised by Sages bluntness <span style='color:blue'>"what you need to do is learn to choose your words a little better"</span> the Tent was done but he didn't nail it down becuase he new that the desert sand would not let the nails hold so it had to be there own body to hold the tent down inside he grab the gear and threw it inside "well hope in."
<span style='color:yellow'>"You think I think before stuff comes out of my mouth?"</span> Sage asked as he scrambled into the tent. He turned, flopping over on his stomach, his tail arching high over his head with the flame dipping down into his hair. <span style='color:yellow'>"I got a kid brother a bit like you"</span> he noted, watching Rola intently.
Rloa climbs in and doesn't answer but proceed to take mask and head dress off <span style='color:blue'>well don't get to comfy we are out Befor first light."</span> Rloa pulls out a clock and sets the alarm to 4am <span style='color:blue'>"and if you don't want me to just leave you, you better be up when this alarm goes off"</span> Rloa climbs over to one side of the tent and quickly falls asleep.
Sage stared at Rola's slumbering form, swore nastily, and rolled over. He stared up at the top of the tent, wondering why a little kid had such nerve. He'd had his share of piss and vinagar as a brat, but it wasn't cold like this one. <span style='color:yellow'> "Freak boy" </span>Sage mutterd, turning over and going to sleep.
Rloa was visted by many dreams...then a nightmare Rloa Snapes awake and growns a little and stares at the clock, 2:13 AM the clock blink back at him. Rloa climbs out of the tent only thing on him was his pants and the undershirt for his desert robe he been wearing Rloa looks back in and mutters <span style='color:blue'>"I guess he could use some thing to eat besides plane salt beef."</span> Rloa goes back in the tent and pulls out his bags and then pulls out a little cooker then He lights it pulls out the water and dumps a little in then grabs some instent eggs and starts to make a bach of them for 2 people then grabs the salt pork and puts it in the salt melts away then puts a cooker cover so it will keep hot and nothing will get into it. By this time it was just about 4 AM
Sage usually slept a deep sleep untroubled by anything, but something about the desert made him sleep lighter then usual. He woke every once in a while and looked out of the tent at the moon hanging high and cold above them, but then quickly fell back into sleep. However once he woke to the smell of something cooking as light flooded over the sand, just the touch of day. He sat up. <span style='color:yellow'>"I smell food"</span> he muttered to himeself, clambering up and rubbing his eyes. He stumbled out of the tent and looked at Rola crouched on the ground by a cooker. <span style='color:yellow'>"Feeeeeeeeed meeeeeeee"</span> he groaned.
