"Yep!"
*Zet stopped after he made it a bit closer. Looked like he wasn't wrong about who it was, though he had someone else with him now too. He didn't particularly understand why the guy was covered from head to toe like he needed to hide, but he supposed if Tresc trusted the guy enough to travel with him that everything was alright in the end.*
"Didn't think to see you again so soon. Though it's a nice place to see someone again with all the snow around and the place in general. Who's that guy? I'm Zet."
*He was still curious on the guy's name at least. He had given his already pretty much since he wasn't particular on keeping it a secret. Of course, it did sort of mean that if anyone wanted to go after him they would know who he was. Hey, it 'DID' help with the reputation in its own way actually.*

Tresc returned to stand normally and looked back at the robed man. He glanced to Zet for a moment, unsure of how the man would react. The man didn't seem to really care however.
"The name's Chaos...or at least, that's the only name I know."

*Chaos? Well....now he sort of understood what Niamh meant about names when he had first introduced himself to her. After all at the time when he did it he hadn't been particularly suspicious, but a cloaked man with the name of Chaos wasn't exactly the best kind of thing. It was the only name he knew though? Did he have no memory? Did he have another name? And maybe the name 'Chaos' he remembered was referring to something else instead of his own name. It would make sense, it sounded like it belonged to the Elder Magic he always heard about...and had the sad occasion of being on the receiving end of sometimes. Still, he always voiced his thoughts despite them racing all the time.*
"Chaos is an odd name, but it's pretty cool too. It's the only name you know though?"

Chaos shrugged. He didn't seem particularly disturbed by the name at least...and he knew Tresc, so that made two men who didn't seem put off by it. Hell, Tresc even went out of his way to try and help him find the man he was looking for.
"I have no memory of my past. The earliest I can remember is waking to to flames all around me and a man calling me 'Chaos.' I never found the man, but rumor has it, he might be in this forest. While this is what I look like now, I don't doubt I was, at some point, human."
As he spoke his last sentence, he raised his arms (revealing a bladed gauntlet grafted onto his left hand) and dropped his hood, revealing the scarred and eye-patched face of the man, Chaos.
"This is what I look like now. I'm sure you can understand why I keep my body hidden."

*No memory of your own past...it had to suck honestly but it might be good too. But then again if you wake up in nothing but flames around you, being called Chaos by some guy who likely got out fine and didn't explain anything, it sucked more. Finding the guy might help in him getting back some of his memories, and then--*
"Whoa..."
*And then it might help in figuring out who did that. Well, the guy still looked human mostly. Save for the fact that someone felt the need to graft metal into his left hand and part of his arm and then remove an eye and scar him up. Unless more was hidden under the hood, then he supposed that he could still be taken for a normal guy. That aside he actually voiced what else he was going to say then.*
"Cool."
*He had to admit, having a metal hand that could cut stuff was kind of cool. The eye-patch looked cool too and he always wondered if someone could pull the look off and not look off with it. Chaos more or less pulled that off well enough, though he kind of doubted that Chaos found it at all 'cool'....even if he himself honestly did.*
"I can't blame you for keeping it hidden. Some people can't appreciate cool stuff. Finding this guy in this forest comes next then!"
*Apparently he had just pushed himself into the search hunt right then. Or he had already done so the moment he heard enough of it and to the part where it was rumored that the guy was around here. Who knew what all was running through his head.*

"There you are! You and your habit of running off is a bit much to keep up with. You left Niamh by herself too."
'Coming out from the sea of trees, she had spotted and heard Zet after she had weaved through them all. Looked like he was with a familiar face then, seeing Tresc and Rei also. They had said they would probably head to Ilia too, but she hadn't expected to run into the pair again while they were lost effectively in the forest.'
"It's nice to see you got around safely. And you are?"
'She was referring to the shaman then. He was at least wearing the cloak that fit the ones she had seen before, except she had rarely seen their faces. The one here had a scarred face and possibly a missing eye, almost like a set of mismatched parts. The blade stood out too considering it wasn't something casually seen there, but it didn't look like he was holding it in his hand. That probably was because he wasn't obviously. She figured the others would catch up soon, she hadn't gone off that quickly after all unless they lost their way in the trees.'

Tresc looked and Elaine and smiled. It had been a while since they've seen each other. He leaned backwards onto a tree and folded his arms as Rei flew around the immediate area.
"Hey, Elaine. It's been a while, hasn't it."
Chaos turned to face the newcomer and shrugged. She had to come right after he explained the small amount of information he knew.
"Name's Chaos, don't ask. I don't feel like explaining again."

"Sorry, left her by accident. I totally won't get lost when I run off next time. Chaos has no memories but his name, being in fire, and at one time being human. Got one or two cool scars and an awesome blade-hand thingy. So I'm going with the guys to find this crazy guy who's rumored to be here to ask questions or take him down."
*Was pretty to the point there, though that was what Zet always was. He would speak the truth even about the odder parts of it which were probably more his opinion than nothing else. Either he didn't completely grasp the one part about the human part, the reason why they were going after the guy, and still sort of just pegged himself into the group. He at least hadn't just pegged Elaine into it, and his eyes started to wander then, probably to the snow and other things around.*

'Zet was good for explanations if only because somehow he gave all the details while keeping it the same length as the original explanation or somehow getting all of it out in a shorter length. Of course he sort of just said that he 'would' run off again, just said he wouldn't get lost while doing it. She would tell him not to, but the guy was quick on his feet. Who could literally sprint from Sacae to Ilia without a break? She was looking at him. No memories, waking up in fire, scarred in various places with a blade grafted into his hand...or gauntlet with a blade rather. And obviously, from what was told just then, no longer human since Zet for some reason didn't know what that meant or was too excited to care. She supposed they didn't have anything else to do, and so long as Zet didn't cause any trouble that got the whole nation or a moderate number of flying mercenaries gunning for them, she supposed letting him go would be fine too. 'With supervision' obviously.'
"We can make up for the time lost going together then. I would say we should go back for the others, but then you'd just run off and I'd lose you somehow in this place again, Zet. I'll just stick with you instead and they can find us by trailing after us."
'Trailing after them wouldn't be hard honestly. Follow the loud voices, the loud noises, the sound of fighting, and/or the wanton madness that would be caused when they caused a misunderstanding somewhere soon along the line. Now she wondered which of them would cause that first between the present people here. She didn't know anything about Chaos, Rei could possibly get them thrown out of a few places before Tresc managed to get them a secure one, and Zet would inadvertently cause a problem. Yeah, wouldn't be hard to trail them at all.'

Chaos shrugged and turned away, raising his hood back over his head. What did he care? He had already warned Tresc it'd be dangerous.
"Do what you want. Just don't yell at me if you get hurt in the night."
Tresc nodded and laid his hand on the hilt of his blade. He already knew what Chaos was talking about and had dealt with it several times already in their travels.
"Don't worry, Chaos. These two can handle themselves just as well as, if not better than, myself."

"Night rocks. Besides, if some odd reason I can't take it down myself, Elaine can cover it. Her light comes in handy after all."
*Then again, he doubted anyone knew what he meant. Elaine actually did use magic too in a fight, but she only used it when her sword wouldn't be as effective. He couldn't say that he could use magic at all unlike her, and it looked like Tresc was in the same boat as him when it came down to the magic detail. The gauntlet-blade using Chaos didn't look like he was much of a physical fighter unlike them too either actually. Guess that made sense that they got a pair of two that both worked best in other situations, but he was totally alright with fighting any kind of magic too. Did that mean he was good at being hit by it or being rather immune to it? Yeah, right....*
"So which way do we go?"

"I have a feeling I missed something. Tresc, Rei, good to see you two."
Niamh walked up to the group looking a little annoyed. When Elaine and Ark ended up accidentally splitting up, she had followed Ark, figuring him to be the one who needed to have someone with him most, only to lose sight of him after a while. These children did not seem to understand she really couldn't keep up with their pace that easily and especially not in a forest. She had tried to find him, but to no avail so ended up going back and finding which way Elaine went, thankfully successfully. Now that she caught up, she saw them talking about fighting for some reason with Tresc, Rei, and a third person. She sighed before walking up to the unknown (to her) person and extending her hand.
"I'm Niamh Renadelir, a healer these children just love leaving behind."

'She was surprised that Zet paid that much attention...oh, right. She shouldn't be surprised actually. If it came to fighting, Zet's attention span actually was pretty long. He had complete control over himself during a fight...but any other occasion he was just an energetic kid running all over the place. That explained why he actually made note of it then.'
"If we get hurt, it would be because of our own carelessness. Plus as Tresc said, I think we can handle ourselves pretty well. That and--"
'And there she was. It was a plus and a minus for the fact that Niamh had better control....well, no, she couldn't keep up with them too often. But she had more logic in her head than the others and that was helpful with them all. And, ironically enough, the cleric still could take a better hit than probably everyone in the present company minus Zet. Seriously, it was kind of funny when you see a cleric who's supposed to be outside of the line of fire able to take a hit or give one back too. She seriously thought Niamh would hit somebody with that Heal staff at one point. She'd leave the introduction up to Chaos, though she could at least say it was good that Niamh had trailed her successfully.'
"Sorry for losing you again, Niamh. I heard Zet and figured I'd better catch up to him before he made another run for it. That and the fact that he's intent possibly beyond reasoning on roaming further in to help with their search."

Rei zoomed around the area, flying around everyone's head. She was definitely excited to see everyone again. Tresc was ignoring it...until she began slamming into his head repeatedly talking animatedly. He raised his fast as his body began shaking. A vein in his forehead popped as he punched the ball of light, with amazing accuracy, knocking her into a tree.
"Will...you...SHUT UP ALREADY?! Damn Rei, I swear, whenever you get like this you only get more annoying!"
Rei turned to stare at Tresc for a moment. He had gotten angry with her before, yah...but he'd never lost control like that. She was about to retort before Chaos stepped in front of Tresc.
"Idiot. If Rei's the only thing annoying you, you've got it easy..."
Before Tresc could respond (though his face revealed an apologetic look), Chaos walked away and leaned against a distant tree.
"Chaos...I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking..."

"Niamh! Hi! That's Chaos who just ignored you with rudeness, you know Tresc and Rei, and I don't think I have to say anything for Elaine."
*She had sort of been with them the whole time. Sure he actually noted when people were rude, even if they were all mysterious and cool. That and he was pretty sure Niamh would...oh, right. He had sort of left her behind in his mad dash to get here too. He'd have to try to not do that as often...that or carry Niamh along with him while he was doing it. It'd be one of those tests to see how far he could make it, though he doubted that she was any heavier than Vivi. If he was lucky, she might be lighter and he could run even further! .....Even though that would be odd now that he thought about it. Even though Niamh was with them he didn't want them to just go and get themselves hurt, getting an arrow pulled out hurt a lot even if she could just heal him afterward. He noticed it, but he figured that she would be with Niamh and while Ark would be fine solo for a while, he figured that she would have came out for them already actually.*
"She's the healer and the one who looks after us. Where's Vivi though?"

Ark gave a hum as he walked. Well, it looked like all of them had ended up walking in a random direction. Scratching the back of his head, he looked around a bit puzzled. While... Where was there to go from here? With small sigh, the Spell Sword shrugged. He'd eventually run across them probably. Hopefully. ...Maybe? They'd see in due time. Furthering his walk, he began to play with the wind around; hopefully, it'd either draw the others to him, or bring him some sign that they were nearby.

Niamh shook her head at Chaos, who had simply ignored her, and let her hand fall to her side. She guessed something was going on with him, it was obvious enough to anyone, but had no clue what it was. Instead of asking, she looked at Zet as he spoke to her.
"I was hoping she would still be with you. I just hope she hasn't gotten herself lost..."
Vivi was basically lost, but staying in one place just amusing herself. While the others had been searching around the place, she had been building things out of fallen branches and twigs.

"I put her down after we got here, or...well, she jumped down more than that and then we ran off. I guess she went off in a different direction than I did."
*Well that sucked. Vivi was the thinker of the group who also gave them awesome names to go with so they could go about when things went down. She was way cooler than some guy he didn't particularly know anything about even without this fact too. So it came down to finding Vivi while searching for that other guy. And searching for that other guy would happen while searching for Vivi. It was like a loop, except one took the priority being Vivi.*
"Finding Vivi takes priority! Finding the unknown random guy also is a priority, but the secondary one! Away!"
*Zet would have ran off to start the hunt....but had a gut feeling they wouldn't much like it should he do it again in such a short amount of time. Instead, he decided to run off later and for now just put up a good and even pace as he started off, wandering about to try and find someone or something that could lead the way. Maybe she left a marker of some kind? Maybe footprints in the snow that got covered up by more snow? Well, she was Vivi. Nothing could take her down.*

'She could almost feel that Zet was about to run off again, but he didn't...yet. Come the first sign of something if he saw it first, he would be gone again. It was a boon and then a negative at the same time because most of the time, he didn't have to leave them. Still, she did understand why he wanted to find Vivi first. While worrying about her was probably unwarranted out here, if they paid her no mind at all then who knew what kind of trouble she would stir up. Now so far Zet and Vivi had been on the same wavelength, so what the mercenary had been doing the little 'borrower' probably had chosen to do the same after getting lost.'
"She's probably about as lost as Ark likely is now. We don't know our way around the forest either, but that's fine. We just have to keep moving then, like he is already."
'Zet had already just started off in a random direction. At least it wasn't in the direction Niamh came from...then again that was probably the bad part about it. His patterns for everything were way too non sequitur, but she supposed that he'd remember that Ark was missing eventually too. So far he was focused on Vivi and the 'unknown random guy' as he dubbed him now. Well, may as well keep on going then, following after him. Now hopefully they didn't end up hopelessly lost in here again.'

Chaos shrugged. Other than 'being somewhere in the forest,' he didn't have a lot to go off of. Maybe he'd get some information traveling with these people. He walked up to Niamh, glancing at her for a moment, offering only a small glimpse at his face.
"My apologies for ignoring you. My name is Chaos. Take it with a grain of salt as I do. It's not my true name...but I don't know my true name. If you guys don't mind, please allow me to accompany you. I don't particularly have a lot of information to lead me in a specific direction, so perhaps I can get some info traveling with all of you."
Tresc looked at Chaos and shrugged. He was kinda surprised, to be honest. He didn't think Chaos would be up for traveling with a group. He was about to speak up before Chaos continued speaking.
"As I said before however...keep vigilant in the night...I'm not exactly myself during the moonlit hours."
