The stars aren't right!(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Jasmine sits down with Helena, letting out a yawn. "I don't think it does. Things have been getting stranger ever since we got here. The ship will be here in a couple hours."

"I'm getting awfully fucking tired of Strange Jasmine" Helena cursed as she poured the coffee, offering Jasmine a cup before drinking her own and thinking about everything, running through her mental exercises as she drank, trying to calm down before she said anything she would regret later.

Jasmine takes the offered cup and moves to sit next to Helena, pulling a hand over her shoulders and gently soothing Helena's emotions.

Helena sighs and relaxes, drinking her cup. "I was angry to start.. But that pale face... So much hate there, You remember him Jasmine, the man we buried in the mountains, the man my stupidity killed? All I can remember anymore is the face of that bitch as I killed her for it. Never again will I let that happen"

Helena continued to stare into the flames as her own internal ones slowly cooled and she managed to unwind. Thoughts of Aren, alive and dead flowing through her mind.

Jasmine lets out a sigh. "I do. And I hope he's happy, wherever he is." Silence settles over the pair, the thoughts of Aren lively in Helena's mind.

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena shakes the ghost away and refocuses on the present. "So what do you want to do about this." Helena asked, referring to all of the problems that had all cropped up at once and finally calmed down completely, looking back at the tent where the others slept.

"I just want to get to civilization and then worry about what's left." Jasmine answers with a faint smile before giving Helena a quick kiss and standing up, striding around the fire and staring at the shadows.

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena gives Jasmine a quick squeeze and chuckles. "What? Back to lousy lovers and easy life? Lord knows well have enough gold after this, but jesus we fucking earned it." Helena would wait out the rest of the night just staring into the flames, eventually passing out there where she sat without even noticing.

Helena hasn't been sleeping for long when Jasmine wakes her up. "Time to wake the others. The ship is almost here."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena jerks awake and nods, wandering into the tent to poke everyone awake lazily with tentacles because she was tired, and prodding worked if you did it hard enough. "Boat. Here. Up. Wake. Now." Helena mumbled as she rubbed her eyes and then wandered back out, heading towards the river.

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena gets to the river just in time to see the ship floating upriver in search of them while the others pack up the camp and do other useful things.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena calls out, forgetting utterly that she was completely naked and not caring in the slightest. "OVER HERE!, Anchor the boat and well start moving the stuff!" She shouted out to the boat before wandering back into the woods to get dressed, putting on the silken lounging clothes.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena hears the anchor splashing to the water and the ship quickly slows down even as she leaves.

The others have managed to get clothed and are putting the tent off. As Helena gets dressed, two dozen sailors walk into the camp to get the crates. The group is ushered into the ship and the crane is used to pull up the crates and the horses. The ship stays anchored as everyone except the watches heads under the deck, apparently to get sleep.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena hops up onto the boat and watches as they load everything up, smiling. "And this is to coin well earned." She said grinning. "Jasmine, I assume you saw about our payment?"

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Jasmine leans against the railing close to Helena, watching the sky. "The captain was fairly generous. We're getting 240 skulls. A grim name for coins, but they seem to be gold, at least."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Ill take that for a camping trip" Helena said snickering, "What they're worth compared to Bridels I don't know, but I suppose it's better then a poke in the eye. And we have too many problems on our plate to complain" Helena said bursting into flat out laughter

"Lets get the hell out of here" Helena said grinning as she made sure the spiders got on, riding on top of Strike because she was snuggly and fun.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Strike and Flame climb on board with no problem, but the horses and the boxes take more time. As the last animal is loaded, everyone except watches head below deck, and the air seems to calm as silence falls over the ship, except for Jasmine, who is singing softly. Cindy stays up as well, but Willow and Aqua head down with the others.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena stays up with Jasmine, listenening to a few lines of the song, and joining in if she recognized it, singing into the night with her as the current of the river split around the intrusion of wood and steel, providing a nice backdrop to the song as their voices moved through the air with a haunting quality, Helena reaching out to Jasmine wordlessly with her power, giving an embrace only they could share or feel as two fiends who had been through quite a bit together as Helena stared out into the night.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

The song is one Helena doesn't recognize, an ancient ballad from a land so very far away, the french words telling of a village left behind. Jasmine's voice is heavy with mournful tones, but the tune is peaceful and calming. The ship rocks softly as the river flows by, and the gibbous moon lights the night.

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena placed a hand on Jasmine's shoulder and gave a light squeeze before leaving her in peace, assuming she was homesick which was no surprise. Either way, Helena wouldn't intrude on the moment as she moved below to check on the others before layin down and quickly falling asleep, catching up on missed and interrupted sleep happily.
