All she could see was a figure in dark clothes, laying on the ground, with spiky, dark blue hair under the tree. He jumped to his feet, and started rubbing his back. He didn't notice Lyric. 'Ow, ow, ow, ow my baaaaack!' As he turned around, Lyric could see a huge bow and a couple of arrows on the ground near him, and a short dagger too.

Melody smiled slightly, then turned to head out of town. "...well, if you don't mind staying with some wolves, you can stay with me and the pack tonight," she said over her shoulder. At the edge of time, a grey wolf appeared, and gestured with its head impatiently.

Ballad facepalmed. This was a bit too much for just one day. Plus wolves don't usually appreciate music. They prefer silence. And ballad thought he would need some music to calm his nerves right now. 'Alright, alright. But no stabbing-robbing-biting me in my sleep. I kill jokers.' He starts to walk after te grey wolf. He suddenly stops. 'Then I eat them.' And thus, he started walking once again.

The wolf snorted, turning to look at Melody. Melody giggled. "Dapple says that you should save your threats for someone who would actually hurt you," she said between giggles. "And...something about being as moody as a wolf in heat..." she continued, doubling over with laughter. Dapple swished her tail, a slight smile on her face. When they reached the trees, dapple barked softly, and soon three wolves in varying shades of grey appeared, sniffing their leader. then, after a soft growl from Dapple, they turned to Ballad and sniffed him, seeing if he was going to be a threat. On of the wolves went over to Melody, and rubbed its head against her. Melody giggled, and buried her hands in the wolf's fur.

"Are you alright down there?" Lyric called down to the dark-clothed figure.

'Bah.' Ballad jerked, and let the wolves inspect him. Then he looked at Melody, and snarled. 'You are having an awful lot of fun, aren't you?'
'Whoa, whoa, what you doing up there? That's my tree! For the night, 'neway.' He collected his items from the ground, and looked back at Lyric. 'What's a young lady like you doing in the woods so late at night, anyway?'

MElody twitched her wings, startled when the wolves surrounded her protectively and growled at Ballad loudly. "Woah! Guys, calm down. please, he's had a rough day..." she said outloud, laying a hand on Dapple. Dapple woofed at Melody, growled warningly at ballad, and turned and lead her wolves off into the forest, waiting for Melody to follow them. Melody sighed. "...they are...very protective of me..." she said softly.

"This is your tree?" Lyric said, "Sorry, I didn't realise. What am I doing here? Well, the inn is closed... so I thought I'd camp out here. I like trees." She added. "But if it's already taken, I guess I could move on..."

The stranger scaled the tree swiftly, and he was soon sitting next to Lyric. His face was hidden by the dark, but his eyes were sparkling with eerie light. He was smiling. 'You don't have to go, I'd enjoy having some company... Especially if it's a pretty, young lady like you, hee hee! You can stay for the night, I won't disturb your sleep...'
Ballad shrugged. 'Like I would be afraid. Meh, I just want some rest. We can resolve our differences tomorrow. I don't want to start a fight.' He looked around. 'Say, I didn't catch your name, what was it again?'

melody bowed to Ballad, sweeping her wings out. "I am Melody moonshadow," she said softly. "...and I would like to know..why are you so defensive?" she asked, straightening up. she looked troubled. In the woods, dapple barked impatiently.

'I'm Ballad. And I'm defensive because I don't want to end up with my fur on someone's wall.' He brushed some dust off of his cowl. 'So, where are we sleeping?'

Melody shook her head. With me around, you don't have to worry about that, she told him telepathically. she turned and headed after dapple, gesturing for hm to follow. There's a cave up ahead...it's a safe place to stay for the night. If you don't mind the wolves. Also...i must warn you..these wolves aren't exactly...normal. They may be a bit...well...you'll just have to see for yourself... she continued, ducking under some branches.

Lyric gave the stranger a wierd look, as she tried to figure out if he was joking or not. She still held her sword defensively. She had already put the pie down by now. "Erm..." She said awkwardly. Contemplating whether she would rather face the wild animals of the night, or be stuck in a tree with some guy she doesn't know, and who is hitting on her. "I think I'll just leave..."

The stranger looked utterly devastated by this. He layed down on a branch ten metres away from Lyric, and sulked. How he could hold his huge bow effortlessly on his back was unknown. 'Then go. Come on, leave already. Leave me here alone. All alone in the cold, cold night.'
Ballad didn't say a word until they arrived at the cave. Before entering, he grabbed Melody's shoulder. Firmly, but he was cautious enough not to hurt her, just make her stop and turn around. 'Don't do that again. You have a mouth for a reason.' He entered the cave, and sat down in a corner far from everyone else. He took a blanket from his backpack, and coverd himself with it in a sitting position, his back against the cave wall. He held his spear close to himself as he slowly drifted to sleep.

MElody sighed, entering the cave, and paying no attention as the wolves bowed to her. "...there was also a reason I did it. Very few people know about this cave. I'd like to keep it that way," she said, waking him up. The wolves surrounded her, eyeing this newcomer curiously.
