Rough Landing [Zeek]

I howled at the moon with friends, but then the sun came crashing

Scarlett was flying low to the ground, lower then Sailor liked. She was looking for a particular someone, after hearing about the monster infestation she couldn't help but be worried. Or maybe that was an excuse, maybe she just wanted to see him since she very well knew that he could take care of himself. Flying low she sighed, she had looked yesterday in the desert where they spent their time together, but she knew that, that was doomed from the start.


Scarlett then felt Sailor's uneasiness within her, and decided it'd be better to go up, but before she could she was tossed aside and flung across the field, hitting a lot in her way until she finally slowed to a stop. She took  a moment to get her bearings, then looked up and bit her lip to see several Moblins ready to attack. She tried getting up, but only slipped back down, still drawing. "I'LL SCREW YOU UP BEFORE YOU GET ME" She shouted, ready to be on the defensive and fight until the end. 

Things were just as it was. Nothing special what so ever. Zeek was wandering to who knew where at this point. The last few jobs the Mercenary had taken barely satisfied his thirst for a thrill, although it did not help that his luck with people like Scarlet gave him that thrill just through sheer bad luck. Zeek chuckled as he thought back on their adventures before she had left for Skyloft again. Zeek wasn't really aware that really existed prior to meeting the spunky blond haired knight. In retrospect that was the time frame Ezekial had the most employment ever, mostly because Scarlet felt obligated to help everyone. Mentally Zeek placed a large emphasis on everyone like he was telling the story aloud to someone.

Lifting his sword up and over his shoulders he rested the sheathed blade across behind his neck and cupped his hand over it, his right taking the hilt and the left was more towards the tip of the blade with the palms facing rearward. Shifting his eyes skyward Zeek admired the day. It really wasn't that bad. Bit more on the chillier side of things since the change of seasons but it was certainly more than bearable.

"Ugh..." He sighed out of boredom. Ezekial really wanted a good job to take, or at the very least something to happen. Maybe jinxing him self for something not to happen would remedy this spree of boredom, although he knew it wouldn't because the way the unspoken powers of the world worked always knew.

Moving his gaze outward towards the fields that lay before his eyes his eyes scanned for anything. This was mostly an act of self preservation, but since he was currently not employed any sign of trouble was also on this list. But yet strangely enough something was going on in the distance. He could really make out the entirety of the figures out in the distance he knew a few things. The first thing was moblins. The things were so damn ugly that it was next to impossible to mistaken them at any distance. The second thing Zeek was able to to tell was that it was a person which meant work.

Throwing the weight of the sword off his shoulder Zeek carried the weapon by the handle over to his lowered left hand which grasped the blade as he started picking up his pace to a run. If Zeek knew a little more about chivalry and fairness he could easily pull off thrilling heroics. To bad for anyone Zeek was more than a dirty fighter when it came down to things. As he closed the distance he came up on the flank of the moblins. As he passed he drew his blade using the draw of his own sword as a strike. Planing his right foot on the ground the Mercenary pivoted his body and squared off with the attackers. Zeek's eyes were locked on to the attacking moblins that he didn't even acknowledge the presence of the other. Tossing the sheath over his right shoulder his now free left hand collapsed around the hilt of the blade ready to fight.

"If you want to flee I suggest now would be a good ti-." His eyes finally glanced over. It was Scarlet. "Well, this isn't going to last long. Almost feel sorry for them." She wasn't going to back down from a fight.

Scarlett started slashing away at the Moblins until there where just a few left. And then a ghost had come to help her out. It happened to be the very person she came down here to see. Laughing, she got on her leg, even though it hurt worse then anything she still had to show off. So she got rid of a few more Moblins and then collapsed on the ground, laying on her back. "Damn bird" She sighed, never wanting to walk again in that moment. She looked over at Zeek.


"Ah, Zeek, just the man I wanted to see!" She spoke smiling big, trying to not get overly excited and hug him tight. But she knew her leg wouldn't do anymore. "It seems I'm a little hurt, I don't know if you'll charge me for this but I'd like it if you could get me some help!" She kept her cheery tone and happy atmosphere even though she wanted nothing more then to shout curse words, and trust anyone it was hard to get her this mad. She was in a lot of pain.

Trying once more to fight the pain and get on her leg she fell back down, and couldn't do anything but laugh even though now tears where stinging at her eyes. "I think you're gonna need to pick me up."

Well if there were things that didn't change it was how stubborn she was. Scarlet tried to get up on to her feet after the battle had passed, it seemed like the bird that Zeek had such a disagreement with was the culprit for this one. It was that or she just happened to get off the wrong way. Either way her leg was quite messed up.

"It seems I'm a little hurt, I don't know if you'll charge me for this but I'd like it if you could get me some help!" Scarlet's joke was certainly a good way to play off his profiteering nature but she knew better than that, especially after the whole incident in the Gerudo Desert. But it was probably just a defensive mechanism to cope with the pain she was feeling.

Attempting to get up to her feet one more time she fell at the pain making that attempt a failure. "I think you're gonna need to pick me up." She said with a laugh. She certainly trying to hold back the pain the best she could at this point. Picking up his blades sheath and returning the blade to its rightful place he attached his weapon across his back before making his way over to the blond haired skyloftian knight. "Donno," Zeek said with a grin as his right hand took hold of hers before hoisting her up on her feet and throwing her arm over his shoulder. "May have to charge you for this." Sure Zeek was more than glad that she was alright, after all she was his partner in crime to so speak for a while. Keeping a firm grip on her right fore arm Zeek stood still letting the girl catch her balance. Deep down Zeek was assured at the fact things haven't changed.

Scarlett was glad for the help to get on her feet, and rolled her eyes at the joke he made. "Do you take words as payment? Cause I bet I could talk your ear off." She joked, as they started to walk. Scarlett wasn't sure where to go, as she heard that Castle town had been completely over run with monsters at the moment. She bit her lip and wondered what to do. 

Scarlett hoped Zeek would have a place, she needed to stay off her leg for awhile. And she also knew Sailor would be back down here feeling bad any second, and he could probably fly her back to Skyloft if she needed, or at least to a medic down here. Then again, she also JUST found Zeek and wouldn't want to leave him, subconsciously moving closer to the boy to get herself to feel better. "Now I know it was kind of an abrupt meeting, but it's a pleasure to see you again money boy." She threw him a smirk to let him know she was joking as always.
