Camping (Hunt For The Horcrux Continued)

Khaat dished herself up part of a bowl of soup and took one of the wonderful looking sandwiches that Mari had prepared. She poured herself a cup of hot coffee and sat down at the table, hoping some of the others would join her. She usually found that until someone had started serving themselves, no matter what the gathering, the food just sat uneaten while everybody stood around and smelled it. She smelled the rich aroma of the coffee, and it smelled heavenly to her. She saw the others working at either relaxing or trying to fool their companions into a false sense of security. She wasn't sure which. Either way, she wasn't going to let it get to her. She could play the game as well as the rest of them.

Ne'Os sat with Khaat using his telekinesis to pour himself some coffee it floated over to him. " Well this is lovely" he said smiling.

"Ne'Os," she said softly, "When did you feed last? And not this kind of food. You know what I mean." Khaat had brought a good many things in her Mary Poppins bag, but vials of blood were not among the tiny things in her bag. She had encountered two hungry vampires fairly recently and did not like the outcome either time. She didn't care for this happening again.

The time travel was my thing Matt, invent something else. And this post is reserved for me

"Oh yay, soup," Darren said still acting cheerful. He went and got himself some sandwhiches as well as Khaats soup. He hadn't eaten for a while. Turning, he noticed Ne'os was paler than usual. "Emof. You forgot your vials of blood at my house didn't you?" he said with a frown. "How irresponsible."

Jess saw darren and matt leave, then come back, which was odd, considering darren hated matt... Anyway, he didn't need to worry about it. "Yeah, i'll have a sandwhich," he said, walking up and grabbing one. "Mmm," he 'said' as he ate it. "So, how've you been? We haven't spoken much recently," he said to Darren, sitting down on a nearby stump sticking out of the ground

Having said his sarcastic comment to Ne'os, Darren started on the soup, it was wonderfully warm and tasted surprisingly good, but not being an especially nice person, he gave compliments to Khaat or Mari, that just wasn't like him. He turned to Jess as he spoke, and almost rolled his eyes. He was still trying to keep their friendship strong, something which annoyed Darren. If he became friends with Jess again, he would feel a little more guilty in betraying him. "How do you think I've been Jess?" he replied back.

Jess shrugged, he knew that Darren'd been through alot recently. "Not to well," he said sadly after a pause. "I guess you've been going through alot, and you've been ignored by your friends, for whcih i am sorry," he said with a feeble smile. "But i guess you just have to put it past you," he said, "All of us've had to do it, admittedly, you seem to need to more often than we all do, but you know, as you said to me a long tme ago, i'm here to help if you need it," he said with a smile

"I said that?" Darren asked, raising an eyebrow. That didn't seem like him. Or it was probably a long time ago, when he actually believed in friendship and love and all that bullshit. "Its not that Jess, I don't need friends," he said with a shake of his head. What he needed was power, to be better than Dae and Jess, but he wasn't about to say that. He finished his soup and put the bowl aside. "How have you been? How are things with Mari?"

OOC. What happened to their children? xD

((I prefer to answer that question with another...
What children >>))
Jess frowned and looked down. "You mean, we're not friends anymore?" He asked sadly, knowing the answer. This was sad, he'd never not been friends with Darren, ever since he could remember. "Well, we're good friends, and we'll leave it at that," Jess said awkwardly with a shrug
