There was still a ways to go. The man she'd bullied into following along was a couple of meters behind her frowning profusely. He carried the bee smoker she'd borrowed along with the jars she'd prepared. Iris had never collected honey before and after a brief inquiry about the necessary steps she acquired the helper who'd do it for her. After all, she was still bruised from a run-in with an exceptionally grumpy Fae and, more importantly, she didn't want to get stung. She also happened to enjoy bullying her father's men from time to time. She paused briefly to survey the cliffs, shielding her eyes from the sun, extracted a cigarette from her pocket, tried to light it, failed, sighed, and kept walking uphill. They'd just passed the lighthouse and she was sure that some trees grew up ahead that would provide shelter from the breeze blowing in from the shore. Sunjata |

'cause we might as well be blind,
if seeing is believing, this parable's misleading Nobody will notice an unassuming macaw in the skies. Least of all one that heads from the jungles, navy wings taking him lower and lower, drifting toward the edge of the cliffs if for no other reason than to search for a distraction. Distractions were common activities for the governor as of late, and he manages to find it as he spies two people passing the lighthouse, a smoker and jars in someone’s hands – though both of them he doesn’t particularly recognize.
Makes sense, he supposes. He hasn’t been around very much lately for meeting everyone. So he drifts closer to them, landing before the lighthouse and shifting into himself, hands in his pockets – peering up at the lighthouse briefly as if he’s deciding whether to enter it and let the strangers continue their way. But there’s something that itches within him, curious if she’s part of the Order or not, whether they both are. It’s enough to have him changing his mind, his course. “Hey, what’re you looking for?” He asks, rather bluntly but his face and tone is nothing but curious. you've got your shotgun loaded with excuses — that you'll fire in vain — but those 12 rounds just won't do Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.

'cause we might as well be blind,
if seeing is believing, this parable's misleading Honestly, Sunjata pays little mind to the man with the woman, though part of him relishes in the moment of surprise that crosses the man’s face. But his attention is on Iris, as she greets him with her own surprise, an easier smile crossing his face as he dips his head as if he’s saying ‘yep, that’s me’. But his question is aired, curiosity laced through his voice, an avian tilt of his head as he considers her offer. It doesn’t take long, that easy smile twitching a bit wider as he nods, moving to sidle closer to the duo. “Suppose it can’t hurt.” He rumbles as she steps nearer, watching as she pauses to pull the unlit cigarette between her lips.
And it seems she’d like his help with it, lighting it that is, something that he can absolutely do yet not in the way she thinks. So he steps closer to her, to put one hand on the side of the cigarette to block the main bit of the wind that courses through, but his other hand reaches into his pocket to pull out a lighter that someone had crafted for him what felt like ages ago. He holds this one up instead of her match, hits the wheel on it and the flame comes to life, lighting her cigarette. Of course, he’s not one to let her simply indulge on her own – so he also pulls out a pack from his shirt pocket, pulling one out and lighting it too. “That’s better.” He flashes her a wink and a rogue grin, feeling her out before he peers up the trail in the direction she’d been heading – still curious what it was she was searching for. you've got your shotgun loaded with excuses — that you'll fire in vain — but those 12 rounds just won't do Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.

'cause we might as well be blind,
if seeing is believing, this parable's misleading “Science.” He offers her as he helps light her cigarette, before turning his back to the wind to light his own. He manages it relatively well thanks to the little contraption, and he closes the lid to it to stick it back in his pocket before he’s walking with her up the hill again, puffing from his own and letting the wind take the smoke away. The question has him tilting his head curiously toward her, pulling the cigarette from his lips as he considers the question.
After a moment of pause and glancing around, he decides some place near the base of Apopo is probably more accurate – a higher elevation just before the jungles stretch out. “Mm, follow the path and branch right, closer to the ocean but where it starts to rise up to the volcano.” He offers thoughtfully, letting his steel gaze slip back to her with a half-smirk, before he’s guiding her the way. “And forgive me, but I don’t think I caught your name.” She already knew who he was, it only seemed fair to him that he finds out a bit more about her, too. you've got your shotgun loaded with excuses — that you'll fire in vain — but those 12 rounds just won't do Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.

'cause we might as well be blind,
if seeing is believing, this parable's misleading “We’ll see if I’m correct.” His accented rumble fills the wind-whipped air around them as he slants a playful smile her way. She introduces herself and he dips his head in his own quiet greeting. “Pleasure’s all mine, Iris.” Committing her name to memory is easier than he had anticipated, a nice little tidbit to reflect on. Still, he can’t help but to nod to her question as she skips over a rock that rolls toward the man behind them, Sunjata paying him little to no mind.
There’s a low hum of agreement that leaves him before he continues, helping to guide her up the path to where he thinks the cliff is that she seeks. ”It’s been great, actually.” He murmurs, casting his gaze back toward her with a roguish grin. “It isn’t all that different from anywhere else. Always the friends, always the foes. Always the ones that say they can do it better without ever stepping up for it.” Broad shoulders rise and fall in a shrug with that. He guides her and her companion around the path until their altitude begins to change a fraction, turning the grasses a bit more lush, a few trees dotting here and there as the stone juts out below them above the ocean. There’s still a little ways to go, however, and Sunjata’s managed to finish his cigarette in the time it took them to get here. "I'd say a few more minutes and we'll likely be there. Good news for your... Friend?"

'cause we might as well be blind,
if seeing is believing, this parable's misleading A low hum leaves him in a quiet chuckle at her response, a bob of his head and a rogue smirk splashing across his face. “Not too different.” He agrees easily. He already wasn’t the cleanest person, deals made here and there between his rule, his guild, and the smugglers via Jack. They all went hand in hand and he was simply there to play a face, only to have another hidden in shadow behind.
He does offer her a snort at the mention of bureaucrats, an almost exhausted sigh leaving him. “It’s a shame, really.” He murmurs with all the playfulness as they climb along the pathway, as the jungle begins to grow both dense and open the closer to the cliffs they got. He guides her still, glancing back toward the man that accompanies them who appears as though he’d never wanted to show up in the first place. At least, if the glare was any indication. There’s a louder laugh that leaves him. “A few. Though most of my entertainment comes from the ring.” He offers Iris honestly, flashing a wicked smirk her way. Yes, most of his entertainment came from the boxing ring, with training and both kicking people’s asses and having his own handed back. But he guides them through a set of trees that dangle over the edge of the cliffs, pausing to glance down them and to the rest of Torchline in the distance as he mulls it over. “Hmm, somewhere around here perhaps.” And he stands still, dark brow raised at the man holding the smoker, still trying to figure out what it is they’re searching for. you've got your shotgun loaded with excuses — that you'll fire in vain — but those 12 rounds just won't do Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.

'cause we might as well be blind,
if seeing is believing, this parable's misleading “Depends.” Sunjata chimes with a bit of amusement, a quiet smirk on his face. “I like to think I reflect Torchline quite well.” Whether or not that’s true is another story. So instead he focuses on the answer she gives him on what she prefers. He offers her a nod and a chuckle at the mention of less danger to the face, Sunjata’s hand rising to his jaw as if to rub at sore muscles and finally disappeared bruising. “Mm, that is true. Last time I dislocated my jaw.” And it hadn’t entirely kept him down.
But they’re moving a bit quicker now as Sunjata guides him toward the spot he’d figured that whatever it was she was looking for would be found. She bounds ahead of him and he follows curiously, watching as she climbs onto a protruding tree trunk above the cliff, Sunjata approaching the edge without hesitation and leaning over – unworried of whether he’d fall or not, he could shift into a bird and fly his way back out after all. So he accompanies her when she tells him to look, his steel gaze scanning the side of the cliffs until his brows furrow a bit and he looks back to her with a disbelieving smile. “We’re here for bees?” He asks, raising a brow. “If that’s the case…” He casts a glance back at the smoker, pausing to lick his lips as he follows her to get closer to the hive, unworried of the anger of the bees as he reaches out. “Let me give you a hand, then.” He reaches out and compels quite a few of the worker bees on the outside of the hive to go and collect pollen and leave them alone, convincing them that they’re not a threat. They zip past him and Iris until they disappear into the foliage behind them and his gaze turns expectant to her. “So what do you need to get from them? I’m assuming it’s not a bee.

'cause we might as well be blind,
if seeing is believing, this parable's misleading “Mmm, well, I do try.” Sunjata remarks easily in regards to giving as good as he gets in the boxing ring. “Should drop by some time, I think you might enjoy it.” He offers her with another playfully roguish smirk. Little would he know that it would be taking a back seat in the future – with more scars and far more pain and worry than what Sunjata could imagine. But when he was back on his feet again? He’s unsure what could stop him from the boxing ring again.
As it was now, however, he reaches into himself for that attunedness, to compel the bees away from them as Sunjata remains standing nearby, peering at the hive, trying to ensure he’d distracted them enough. All it really took was finding the queen and getting her to take a quick little vacation. They could come back to it, he doesn’t care, but for the moment it’ll keep the bees settled enough to not start stinging the ever living shit out of them. He remains idly by, shoving his hands into his pockets, peering at Iris while her assistant worked. His steel gaze lingers on her, a huff of a laugh leaving him as she details out the things he could possibly do. “I could. Though for some reason I haven’t done it yet.” His shoulders shrug, his amusement shifting to something more mischievous. “I got a few encantados to summon a storm to attack the sea panther recently.” Though he doesn’t admit that the endeavor with that lead to the lightning scars on his body. you've got your shotgun loaded with excuses — that you'll fire in vain — but those 12 rounds just won't do Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like. | ||||||
