((whoops... my mistake))
Maya woke up with a start and looked up at Kaisen. In pure instinct she moved away, muttering something in the dryads native tongue. Eventually she stopped.
"Who are you?" she asked quietly.

Kaisen took the dryad in for the first time. He smiled a friendly smile, and handed her a canteen.
"My name is Kaisen Tsumeato. Pleased to meet you, Miss...?" He asked, waiting for a name. He shifted his weight from his left foot to her right. He reached up to his shoulder, and removed the baldric containing his sword. He threw it aside, and felt Nick come up. He stroked the horse's neck, and relaxed.

Maya hesitated in taking the canteen... but her thirst was too great that she ended up snatching it from him. After one moutful of water she offered it back to him.
"Thanks", she said graciously. "My name is Maya... Maya Oakley".

"Nice to meet you Miss Oakley. I'm sorry I scared you, you surprised me. What was that thing that attacked you?" He asked, accepting the canteen back. He stroked Nick's neck, and patted the horse. Nick leaned into it, then walked over to Maya. He held his head down, almost in a bow. Nick was offering the dyrad a hand up, or neck, I should say.

Maya stroked the horses neck before getting up onto her feet... without any help. Before she nearly collapsed again and grabbed onto the horses neck to steady herself.
"Death vines", she answered, looking at Kaisen. "A very rare plant that attempts to kill anything the goes near it...."

Kaisen nodded gravely. "Ah, I see. I have heard of interuptions of nature in the camp. Was that your doing? I won't be mad if it is." He said, hooking the canteen to his belt. He removed his helmet, swinging his hair to removed the helmet hair. He looked up and smiled.
"Sorry about that. I just hate helmet hair."

Maya didn't say anything about his hair.... it wasn't her problem. But being the cause of the death vines? That was far from accusing... even in their kind and gentle nature, dryads had been trying to kill them off in order to protect the humans and animals.
"No", she snapped cooly. "I am not responsible for the death vines or any other bad nature. I try to prevent it.... the death vines are particularly hard to maintain, we thought we had killed them off. And believe me.... killing something, no matter what species, is not normally within the nature of a dryad".

"Oh, I'm sorry, I think you misunderstood me. I meant that there have been reports of trees be troublesome in one way or another, and I was just wondering if you had been involved or not. I was not referring to death vines. Since your not..." He said, shaking his head. He nodded, and spoke. "Well, I know killing a species is terrible. I know humans are collectivly a bad species, but singularily most are fine." He said, thinking about his own ancestory.

Maya frowned. The trees? How.... why? She moved away from the horse now that she had regained her balance.
"Which trees?" she asked. "Some of them are very difficult to control..... and still believe it's back in the time when people only cut them down for wood. But times are different... people are beginning to learn".

"some of the trees by the main camp. They seem to be the oldest, and biggest. They haven't caused any real damage, just tripping a soldier with their roots, who swear the roots weren't there before, or shrugging gear off their branches. It is quit strange." Kaisen said. Nick walked over to him, and kaisen leaned on the horse, rubbing his nose.

Maya frowned looked around, spotting an old oak that openly tripped up a soldier while the dryad was watching. But there was something odd about how easily the roots moved.... they shouldn't be that quick.
The dryad kept watching before she saw a flash of blonde hair. Then she smirked and walked over to the oak. She lent on the trunk and tapped on it with the knuckles of one hand.
"Come on out", she said. "You're not even a dryad so dont go blending with the trees in order to hide".
There was laughter and a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes stepped out. She looked not older than 8.
"Well?" Maya said with a stern look. "What have you got to say for yourself Vivianne?"
"Sorry Guardian", Vivianne said. "I wont do it again".
Maya nodded.
"Go back to the gypsies before they start looking for you".
Vivianne nodded and ran off quickly.

Kaisen shook his head as the bonde haired girl appeared out of the tree. where did she come from he thought, and watched the gypsy bound off. He turned back to Maya.
"Ok, that solves that problem. So, if you will excuse me, miss Oakley, i must be getting ready. Good luck in your goals to protect those trees." He said, and put on his helmet before grabbing his sword.
