Forest Shelter

@Baekhyun - 1919R [semi-H] (Thank you. I'm getting better everyday.)

Jeonghan considered his response to be good enough for him. If he hasn't seen head or tails of anyone out to kill him, then there's a good chance there isn't. If something happens between now and his release tomorrow morning then they'll know. "That's good enough for me, but know this. If someone does come after you between now and tomorrow we'll hand you over peacefully so they'll leave us alone. Of course if they're going to attack either way, then I'd rather have you on our side to fight against the enemy. You've shown great battle prowess when you were fighting against my people. If ever you help us, then you'll be granted sanctuary here whenever you like. Deal?" He would hold out his hand, but he has Baekhyun tied up, so he'll take his word for what it's worth and hope he's honorable to keep it.

@⸭ [L] Jeonghan - 1004 [[ no probs- I hope you'll feel better soon ;; ]]

Baekhyun looked at him and he did avoided the question, simply because he had no answer to that. He didn't know if actually any of the clans he got in trouble with followed him. He wasn't considering himself an important character in the history of the clans, but who knows? If that's the case tho, he'd be safer locked in a room. But, he doesn't want to bring trouble to the clan that offered him the chance to live. "I don't know for sure. Until now, I didn't meet anyone that would want that. Even if I escaped places, none of them followed. I think they eventually gave up." He explained, hoping it was enough information.

@Baekhyun - 1919R [semi-H] (That's okay. I'm sorry for mine. I've been sick.)

Jeonghan listened to his captive and everything he said was nice and all, but it didn't answer his question. Everyone had enemies, friends, many didn't like to kill but found it necessary. Everything he said he could have guessed on his own. It says nothing of the danger his people would be in if he had someone out there looking for him with violent intentions. "That's all fine and well, but it doesn't answer my question. I'm questioning your character. I'm questioning whether or not someone is out on a mission to kill you. Someone who will tear through this place killing anything and everything in its way to get to you. Because if that's the case I'll cut you loose now and save us all the trouble."

@⸭ [L] Jeonghan - 1004 [[ I am really sorry for the late reply, I am busy with uni and stuff ;; >< ]]

Baekhyun moved his gaze to the boy's face slowly and answered his question, so that he won't seem rude or anything. "I have no friends. Enemies, a few. But it's just because they always misunderstand. They accuse me of stuff I didn't do. All I want however is to find some answers without harming anyone on purpose. It's not what I wish for. I only hurt, if I get hurt. Killing is out of my league. I don't practice such sport, only if it's absolutely necessarily. For example, punishing some bad guys." Baekhyun explained, trying his best to convince that he is not the bad guy. And indeed, he wasn't. He was the justice, as he likes to call it. He just want to bring everything settled and to a peaceful end.

@Baekhyun - 1919R "Baekhyun...I'll remember that." Jeonghan repeated his name in his mind a few times, before nodding. He won't forget it or his name. Raising an eyebrow, he looked him over a little confused about what he meant by weird things. Unless he was talking about the clones walking around with their original's faces. He's run into a few before and it was hard to keep up with them at first, but for each one his men caught he recorded their number under the trespasser portraits in the Great Hall.
Getting closer to the man, he knelt in front of him and checked his body for the number marking. When he found it, he noticed the R at the end of the number. "So you're a rogue. I should have known. I get your types more than anything else. Should I be concerned that someone is after you? I don't need you drama causing my people any trouble." The last thing he wanted was to hold a rogue with innocent intentions under his roof. It'll lead to problems that could cause a war, which meant multiple deaths for his people.

@⸭ [L] Jeonghan - 1004 Baekhyun continued to watch the other. There was something weird about this boy and that was that he couldn't clearly identify if it was actually a girl under those clothes. He never met a guy that would put so much make up on, but he wasn't going to ask anything. It's better this way, it's better to stay silent and just get away as soon as possible.
When he saw the other turn, he looked again at him and listened to what he said. Jeonghan, yes, a boy. Probably. Sounds like a boy's name. "Baekhyun, 1919, rogue. I suggest you check the marking number aswell, I saw weird things around." Baekhyun explained and closed his mouth after. He didn't know how he knew that, but with all the weird things he saw there might be someone that looked exactly like him roaming around. And the last thing he wants is for someone to die because of him.

@Baekhyun - 1919R Jeonghan nodded. He should have more captives like this one: quiet, cooperative, and non-hostile. It would make his job so much easier and he could be merciful more often. Jeonghan didn't like taking another human's life unless absolutely necessary. In these situations intruders either end up dead, thrown in the hole, or he releases them, but the latter is rare, unless imprisoning them for however long he pleases counts. Standing up, he slid his knife back into its sheath. "I'm glad you're cooperating. This will be painless for the both of us. I'll see you in the morning." Jeonghan went to the door, but stopped short when he realized he didn't know the man's name. It's important that he does, so he can identify him later. He'll also have a sketch artist to draw up a portrait of him, so everyone will know he's not a first offender and have permission to kill him on sight if he's hostile. Turning around, he addressed him once more. "I'm the leader of The Tree People, Jeonghan. What's your name intruder?"

@⸭ [L] Jeonghan - 1004 Baekhyun continued to look at the clan leader and listened to what he has to say. He knows he was right, but that's what he is. Baekhyun is someone that lives for walking around randomly like that, it's what keeps him alive actually. He has to search by walking around. And seriously, why aren't clans jut marking their territory? Luckily for Baekhyun, he was keeping a map where he marked all places with clans. The ones that seemed suspicious to him, were the ones to which he always returns. He investigates them, trying to find out any connections with his father, trying to find the murderer that killed his own family. That's his only duty, as he has no friends, no clan or family to take care of. However, he was also searching for a stable place to stay in, he wanted to build a small house. He usually just sleeps under trees and in trees, which soon was not really enough, he needed a home.

Back to concentrating on the clan leader, he felt the dagger almost inside his skin. It was not the first one he was warned like this, some did it more brutal. He was thankful for escaping this easy this time. "Understood." And he added nothing more. He was not in the mood for any conversation, nor did he want to give any further explanation to the clan leader.

@Baekhyun - 1919R Jeonghan heard his explanation into account as he thought about what to do with the man. He looked relatively harmless and he would have let him go, but he injured his men regardless of who attacked first. His people were doing their jobs. Attack first, but show mercy, and ask questions later. The method have kept them alive, kept most intruders away, and kept minimal blood off their hands. He'd prefer not to kill anyone if he doesn't have to.

Bending down to the rogue, he pulled out his dagger and held the tip under his chin, keeping it from piercing his skin. "I hear you and I understand your plight, but I can't simply let you go. You came into our territory and it's your own fault for not knowing territory lines. It's best you learn, because not many clans out there would leave you alive like we have. You'll get yourself killed with that reckless behavior. For now you'll stay here and I'll release you in the morning. You wander into our land again you won't be spared. Am I understood?"

@⸭ [L] Jeonghan - 1004 Baekhyun tried to cope with himself now, he was dizzy as . It was as if he just got high or something. The image before his eyes was not really clear and he heard the other's voice like a ghosts voice. It took him some minutes to respond and to manage to bind few words together. "I didn't know it was a claimed land." He said and looked up at the boy. He found him pretty and feminine, it made him confident. The boy looked innocent, so maybe he will understand his intentions. Really, it was a mistake. If the men wouldn't have attacked, he wouldn't have attacked aswell.

"I came in peace. They attacked me, so I fought back. Wouldn't you have done the same? I thought they were some defected clones." He said and hissed a bit, the pain coming back. His head was killing him, the sedative was really bad for his body and it seems like his body was completely rejecting it. Which was good and very bad at the same thing. He took a deep breath and continued to look at the boy.

@Baekhyun - 1919R Jeonghan was putting the finishing touches on his makeup when a knock came to his door. Placing the last feather on his eyelashes, he stood from his makeshift dressing table and answered it to see one of his clan member with a bad bruise on his face. The man was panting, but he was able to get his words out despite it. There had been a man wondering through their territory. When they attacked to get him away, he fought back and injured some of their men, so they sedated him and brought him to the holding room. Jeonghan nodded and grabbed his bow and quiver full of arrows, before leaving his home.

Taking the rope ladder down to the bridge below, he walked a little ways down, before taking another rope ladder down to the ground floor. The member was in front of him, leading him to the room that was embedded in a large tree with two men standing guard outside the door. They opened the door and he went inside to see the intruder still knocked out and tied to a chair. Setting his bow and arrows by the door, he pulled a knife from his pouch and waited a few minutes for the man to wake up.

When he did the first thing the man did was growl at him, but Jeonghan wasn't phased. Then it was silent for a few minutes, so he set it upon himself to speak first. "You walked into our territory stranger. What business do you have with my people and I?"

@⸭ [L] Jeonghan - 1004 Baekhyun was out today aswell, exploring new places and old places. He wanted to see as much as he can of this planet and learn about all hiding places and attacking spots. It was necessarily, so he will be able to protect himself. Today, he decided to go in the Forest shelter. He had no idea that by taking this decision, he stepped on a claimed territory. He wasn't really familiar with claimed and unclaimed land.

As he wandered, he saw some soldiers. Baekhyun isn't the person that will ran away when he saw some unknown people, no. He would just go and be friendly with them, which is dangerous at time. This is what he did now, he just went to them and talked. Fair enough, he learned that the territory was claimed and the soldiers were not friendly at all. They started with violence, Baekhyun answered with violence. He fought his way out, running away from them and trying to escape their grip. When he thought he's safe, he sighed in relief, but just then a soldier appeared behind him. He couldn't react fast enough and was sedated by some kind of sleeping serum. He tried to fight it, but it was too strong for him.

He passed out and didn't remember a thing. When he woke up, he was bind on a chair and brought up in front of the so called clan leader. He growled a bit and closed his eyes, his head hurting badly. However, he didn't start to talk. He just waited to the leader to say something.
