ㅤㅤ•° the knight's head turned to look at the walls of burning rocks and plants. Short and small as they are, they make for decent defenses against the creatures that live in these lands. That sort of included her, with how rotted she is, unfortunately.

ㅤㅤ“Currency .. runes, you mean.ᐣ”
ㅤㅤ•° she straightened her hunched back and looked around, before gesturing at the ground where the giant children of rot once were, before they dissipated into air.
ㅤㅤ•° she picked up a few runes from the ground, dropped by them.

ㅤㅤ“A nomad ... ”
ㅤㅤ•° she could probably count herself as one, with how many times she's traveled out of Caelid all by herself.
ㅤㅤ“I see.”
ㅤㅤ•° she paid no mind to the corn, instead solely focused on the flame in front of her.
ㅤㅤ“I hardly ever see nomadic paladins."
ㅤㅤ
Últa said before turning his head slightly to look back at her for a moment.
"I'm nomadic. I try not to stay in one place for too long unless needed"
A loud chuckle escaped his helmet, before lifting up his helmet to finally take a bite out of the corn cob.

ㅤㅤ•° she nodded, slowly standing up. Her legs felt weak, but they could at least support her body and walk.
ㅤㅤ“Come on. Our plan to buy flour and get clean water stays the same.”
ㅤㅤ•° had it been somewhere else, sometime else, she would sound like she was only getting groceries.

➪ If needed, she could be carried but a part of him knew well enough she’d never allow such a thing till the very brink of her capacity.

ㅤㅤ•° one moment she was at the brink of death, turning into nothing but a blob of flesh, and in the next the rot retreated back to the furthest corners of her body, and she was saved from another near-death experience.
—&—
➪ Her worry for the rot was noted but he was under his own condition. And at the moment it truly did not matter if he caught it.
➪ She could see the mask of darkness shift. Scanning her over time and time again to watch and see if she eased.

ㅤㅤ“Nay, I merely needed the heat of flame.”
ㅤㅤ•° she sat beside the flame, too close for it to be uncomfortable for anyone else, yet she found most comfortable. A tired sigh left her lips, as the flame licked her fingertips. The armor kept her safe while still transferring the heat.
—&—
The Paladin would raise his head slightly.
"Are you hungry.."
Últa asked as he spoke softly through his helmet.

ㅤㅤ“Ah ... Your Majesty. My apologies.”
ㅤㅤ•° she bowed down briefly, eyes closed in concentration.
ㅤㅤ“I had assumed you were a mere lord or noble ... ”
ㅤㅤ
caspian wished nothing but maybe help find a cure?
“ surely that’s not possible Lady Shiyou.” he said.
then again , what would he know?
“ Caspian Wolfe. King of the Moonlight Isles.”
ㅤㅤ•° she shook her head, a slight look of sadness appearing on her face.
ㅤㅤ“Incurable, my liege.”
ㅤㅤ•° she shook her head once again, and the sadness dissipated.
ㅤㅤ“I am Shiyou of the Cleanrot Knights. A pleasure to meet you, my liege.”

ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ•° the knight stepped forward through the bushes, deciding to present herself in front of the paladin after a long time fighting herself.
ㅤㅤ“Greetings. Wouldst thou mind if I stay here, for a night.ᐣ“
ㅤㅤ
Something felt off.. his head titled and turned slightly as if he was trying to listen.
ㅤㅤ•° a knight, half-rotted and more a Thing than human, stood watching from afar. She is attracted by the flame, but did not want to intrude on the paladin.

he wished nothing but safety for the both of them.
“ affiliation? have you not asked a healer for a cure?”
the wolf king raised a brow.
ㅤㅤ“I advise you to not touch me.”
ㅤㅤ•° the warning was spoken with a soft voice, not meant to intimidate but only to alert.
ㅤㅤ“For I am cursed with a deadly affliction.”

He would be holding a corn cob over the flame.
He didn't mind the heat.. he could hardly feel it anymore.

ㅤㅤ“D-Don't ... touch me ... The rot ... ”
ㅤㅤ•° despite her words, she found no strength to even pull away. The rot spreading further and further to untouched places. She would be surprised if by the end of this damned thing, she would still be human.
—&—
➪ Her concern not going unnoticed but rather put away. Compared to the armored knuckles that spat hostility, his palm rose to her cheek. Assisting her to gaze into his darkness. One reply is all he required. A step in the correct path.

ㅤㅤ•° the knight gripped her spear tighter, tenseness finding its way back under her skin and in her flesh and muscle. 𝘈 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘳.ᐣ 𝘈𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘢𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘥.ᐣ ... she supposed he does need one. Caelid has changed quite a lot in the past few years.
ㅤㅤ“A tour, my lord.ᐣ”

ㅤㅤ•° at the question, Shiyou became slightly paler than she already was. How could she answer that.ᐣ She knew Lord Miquella went to the enact his plan with Radahn and Mohg's bodies in tow. So far, there was no news of his success, or his failure. She feared the worst.

ㅤㅤ“Are you ... ”
ㅤㅤ•° the rot writhed within her body, crawling higher and higher as it seemingly reacted to the death of its kin.
ㅤㅤ“Can you ... control fire as you do ice.ᐣ”
ㅤㅤ•° she turned her head to face the captain, face showing incredible pain.

ㅤㅤ•° how long has he been absent ... ah ... what a terrible question to ask her. She herself lost track of time long ago, the rot eating away at her memories. Still, she answered, as a knight should to her lady's brother.
ㅤㅤ“A few years, my lord.

ㅤㅤ•° the knight did what she was told, and stood up with her back straightened. The grip on her spear loosened ever so slightly, just enough to show that she wasn't feeling threatened, just ... worried.

ㅤㅤ“ ... Ah.ᐣ So this isn't where you're from.ᐣ”
ㅤㅤ•° she looked around the place they ended up in. The grass below glimmered with an unnatural color. Purplish-blue, with a hint of the original green. The trees looked like glass, and the shrubs thick and difficult to pass through.
