Gabrielle smiled as the sword disappeared.
"Too?" she questioned. She had been sure that he was a Dawn Strider. Whey did he say 'too'? Did he mean like Salaura?
"Nice to meet you Lord Raizo." she gave him a quick bow.
She had to admit that she was a little puzzled by the 'miss'. That sounded so young! She could not help but smirk at the usage of the word to address her.

"I'd rather the word cautious." Dre said as he looked at her. "Gabrielle." He said repeating her name. "Well then, Gabrielle. My name is Dre." He said to her, watching her smirk and slowly raising a brow.
[Oh, I completely forgot, changed the name of a folder in photobucket, so all the links got disconnected, thanks.]

"Nice to meet you Lord Dre." she answered the young man with a bow.
"I did not mean to interrupt your training session, just merely to watch." added the Holy Knight whose look was closer to the one of the knights of darkness.
((Lol no problem at all. What height is your character?))

"hee hee Miss Gabrielle dont call me Load Raizo just Raizo is fine i mean i am just 14 years of age."
Raizo giggled to himself as he looked around seeing if anyone else came, then he looked at her saying.
"Uhm what class are you ?" Then he breathes out a puff of fire.

"You are young indeed. But that does not change the respect due to your status." Gabrielle answered to Raizo.
"But if you prefer Raizo, so be it."
His next question brought a laughter to the dark looking knight. "You are a curious young man Raizo." she answered, although his question was fair.

"heh heh well im just a young Dragon, and a young boy... Miss Gabrielle, being curious is normal for me...I'm just a 3rd class Strider..."
Raizo said as he just smiled looking at her.

Salaura had indeed taken Dre's bow when he had offered it. Salaura's own bow was at her families home, very far away.
The draw of this particular bow was more then Salaura's own, but with a bit of difficulty she was able to draw the string until the fletching of the arrow tickled her cheek. As she was sighting the location of the last bell chime, the strange watcher from before dropped right next to her, drawing a surprised yelp and premature firing of the arrow. the shot went into the thicket, but no bell chime was herd.
Salaura turned to the woman, Gabrielle.
"If you truly wanted to watch us, you could have continued to do so from where you were before." Dre and Raizo didn't know Salaura very well, but if her mother or aunt had heard that particular tone in the white-haired young lady, they would have known that she was quite annoyed.

"No, need for the lord, I'd rather you just call my Dre, or Sato if anything else." Dre said "Well, then you can always join if you like." He said.
[5'7 and a half]

Raizo's words made the older knight smile. "So young and already a 3rd rank? You must be truly skilled." she gently praised.
Gabrielle had shifted towards Salaura and stared at her for a moment.
"So you would rather have me spy on you, rather that being open about my presence and show myself?" she asked sarcastically, yet her tone was very calm. "What a strange way of thinking for a Holy Knight." she added as a comment.
The woman's face was very calm as she was speaking yet she was looking at Salaura with strange eyes. Maybe she was too young to join the Holy Faction...? she wondered.
Gabrielle sighed and turned towards Dre. She realized how the generation gap between her and those knights.
"Well Dre, that would be my pleasure." answered Gabrielle and she leaned against a tree, waiting for her turn.
((Thank you. smile ))

Gabrielle looked in silence as Raizo prepared his bow and arrow.
She had no knowledge of bow and its art, so she was genuinely curious.

Salaura had another arrow on the bowstring, but did not try to draw it whilst she was talking to Gabrielle. The young aasimar looked way, way up at the elder Holy Knight with her own oddly-colored eyes. This time, Salaura's tone was much more respectful.
"Not at all, but it makes more sense from a tactical standpoint to observe from a more secret location...if, for example, Dre, Raizo and I were enemies that were powerful enough to finish you off, You revealing yourself to us would have been a most grave mistake, whereas, if you had remained in your hidden position, you would have been able to escape without us being the wiser..but I'm only speaking in a hypothetical situation." Salaura explained.
The feeling she was getting off Gabrielle was that she was extremely powerful, and oddly...not fully human...
With the explanation aside, Salaura looked away and drew the bow.
Taking a deep breath, Salaura sighted along the shaft at where the bell should be, while picturing in her mind her arrow cutting the string holding the bell and the bell falling through the thicket and down to the ground. Once Salaura was sure of her mental picture, she let her arrow fly.
It flew straight into the bramble, then a moment later...
Chiiing the bell landed at the base of the tree.

Gabrielle listened to the young knight, noticing the change in her tone. She remained silent though, leaving some time to Salaura to arm her bow and aim. Her hit was a success.
"You have a point. However I never considered any of you as 'ennemy'." she paused "What might your name be young Holy Knight?" asked Gabrielle politely.
Gabrielle noticed the whispering between the Dawn Striders but she did not bother about it. She let herself slide to the ground and drank some water out of her water skin. The day was getting hotter.

Dre watched as Salaura shot down her bell, he then looked over to Raizo who was struggling to hold his arrow in place. "Well done Salaura." Dre said to her with a smile on his face before turning back to Raizo and nudging him with a grin and a light chuckle as he spoke jokingly, "no, not all of them, only the cute ones." He reached for Raizo's bow, pulling the bow up into the correct position and pulling his hand, which held the arrow back. Waiting a while to make sure he could hold it there on his own. "Now, listen, the bell will tell you where to aim." He walked over to Salaura and waved to Gabrielle, signaling her to come over. "Your turn." Just as he spoke a large wind passed the trees where Raizo's bell had been pinned, causing the bell to ring loudly.
