Koal lifted his head with some difficulty, the slight movement causing his whole body to scream in protest. The Warrior was standing in front of him, and Koal licked his lips before replying. "You can call me Koal." He gestured feebly with his right hand to Leah, who was leaning on the tree, directly to his right. "This is my protector and friend, Leah." she managed a wave as he spoke her name.
Koal struggled to his feet, using the rough bark of the oak tree to support his weight. "And what name might I know you by?" The black-haired youth addressed the other man, looking down an inch or two to meet his sky-blue eyes. Koal assessed the man, his eyes pouring over his body, reading every crevice like a book. This man had been fighting his whole life, and his stature and the way he spoke sounded of noble birth, and he carried the air of a seasoned leader.
A veteran, if the shadows in his eyes were anything to go by.He had seen many battles, and much death. Koal could respect this man because he was a man worthy of respect. Koal let out a smirk and focused as the man began to talk. "You may call me Thor, young one." The man had a deep baritone voice that was expected of one of his size and stature. But the name rung a chord deep in Koal's memory...Thor... he couldn't place the name, but it sounded so damn familiar.
Koal burst into another coughing fit, a little more blood painting the scenery red. Leah moved forward to help him back, but Koal held up a hand to forestall her. "I'm fine, honestly, it's just a little blood." Leah let out a very unladylike snort, "No, a little blood is a nosebleed. You're leaking pints of the stuff!" Her voice rose in pitch as she neared the end of her rant. Koal rolled his eyes and regarded Thor's companion.
"And you are?"
