He sighed, and twirled the wepon skillfuly in one hand. It shrank and he dropped it in his poket. "Happy?" he asked.

Strips smirked, "Oh, I'm never happy. But that will work." He bent down next to the water, still holding Zcy. "Come on" he whispered, putting his face near hers. He wetted his hand and rubbed it on her face and forehead. "Please wake up" he continued to whisper.

The static returned to her wet hair. It played with the tassles in her hair, seeming to giggle in her ears. She grinned and opened her eyes. But she noticed a purple face very near hers, and frowned, her eye twitching. "Ummmmmmmm, Strips? What are you doing?" she asked.

Strips gave a sigh of relief and pulled her closer to his chest, keeping his head near hers and lightly kissing her on the side of her face. He didn't answer her question though, figuring it was rather obvious. "Thank god, I thought I'd lost you. Are you alright?"

She raised an eyebrow and pushed him away. "Umm, excuse me, I don't really like you like that," she told him uneasily. "Could you, erm, not... touch me? Please?"

(Ahahhaha Strips just got owned by a chick!! *laughs*
Tack stifled a laugh. Either Strips was really overdoing it or the Gelert who's name he still did not know was really good at acting.

Strips held up his hands and backed up a bit. "You're right, I'm sorry. I was just worried, but that was inappropriate of me. I didn't mean to imply anything. Please forgive me." He frowned and looked down at the ground, brushing his hair back and away from his face.

"Yeah, sure..." She didn't give him a very direct reply. She'd always had a thing about people touching her, and she was not liking this guy too much anymore. She noticed Tack and frowned. "You didn't kill him?" she asked, not directing the question to anybody, but to see who'd answer first.

Strips closed his eyes and kept his face pointed towards the ground. "I wanted to, and I had convinced myself that I was going to, but I changed my mind. I've grown weak, I'm not half the man I used to be. I did, however, manage to get his scythe from him again and threw it as far as I could. He's being a good boy, for now, but I don't recommend we trust him right away." He looked up at Zcy, facial expressions never changing, before standing.

Zcy stood uneasily, wary of this. She didn't know what was going on, but she wasn't about to place her trust with either of these two anytime soon, and definitely not Tack's.
She sighed, and placed her hands on her hips. "All right, well, does anyone know where we can go next? We'll need to find food here on the oasis first, and get all the water we can, of course. But are we traveling together or in our own separate ways? I was really not going anywhere, but if we find civilization somewhere, I'm gone."

((lol, lovely.))
Strips shrugged and rubbed the back of his neck with hand. He bent down next to the water again and submerged his shirt. It had blood and sand all over it, and he was starting to feel weird walking around shirt-less, especially after what Zcy had just said. "Well, sadly, if we stay together we have a greater chance of staying alive. With the predators that come here at night, we might not survive if we split up. Prolly why monkey-boy decided to start playing nice" he joked. "But no one's gunna make ya stay with the group if ya don't want to; it's called freewill Zcy. It's a gift, don't ever let anyone try and take that away from you." He looked up at her, like he was hinting at something without actually saying it, but then he looked back down before he made Tack suspicious of him. "If we do stay together, we should probably concentrate on water and shelter first." He finished cleaning out his shirt and put it back on, not minding it being wet, then stood again.

((Ahhh, hair feels greasy no more ^_^ lmao))
She glanced over at Tack, slightly suspicious, then back at Strips. "I don't plan on having my free will taken from me," she said guardedly, thinking, Oh boy, this is going to be a long night. "If you don't mind, I'm going to go look for something to eat. I'll be back here later." She walked off into the trees, rubbing her arms nervously. She would escape from those two, she decided. In the middle of the night when the heat was by far less intense, she'd take her things and run off. Her life wasn't worth this.

((lol, that's good.))
Strips nodded and watched her leave. "Very well, don't stay gone too long." But he suspected she had no intention of returning. He smiled, 'good for you, kid' he thought. He hoped she didn't come back; hoped she got as far away from here as possible. He would just have to convince Tack that she wasn't worth going after, even if it cost him his life. This was his game; he could manipulate Tack just as well as he could manipulate Zcy, and he had just proven this by getting Tack to trust him. Only he knew where his loyalties truly lied. He turned to Tack, "Shall we get started on the shelter?" He would stay by Tack's side though; keep your friends close but your enemies closer.
