Chapter 11
She could feel a pair of small paws shaking her shoulder as she opened her sleepy eyes to see the old palico staring at her. "You had a bad dream meowter? "He asked as she sat up moving to the edge of the bed so her feet could touch the wooden floorboards of the wagon not fully remembering what happened after getting back to the wagon last night. He laughed a little as he shook his head, "you and Blue had a lovely drunk mating late-night."
She rubbed her eyes as she let out of yawn. Feeling her muscles were sore from being played like a chew toy from the tigrex hunt she helped out yesterday and the drunk lovemaking she had with Blue. Stretching her arms over her head, she could hear a pop on her back making it feel a little bit more relaxed than to pull herself up petting Sandstorm on his head since he had his helmet off. "It was just a bad dream, no need to worry about it." She said as she put her underwear back on followed by her armour that was neatly folded next to her bed. Sandstorm followed behind Saachi to the weapon rack where her great Jaggi sword was but still her shield was not there. She sheathed her sword into place as she walked out into the busy streets of Val Habar she had seen the Guildmarm was putting a few new hunts on the quest board for her to do, she sat down putting her nose in one of the monster books she was working on of the monsters she hears of from the hunters who she worked with. Saachi looked over to the smithy where The Man was waving her over to him. As she got to The Man he handed her shield to her since the guild returned it through the night. He fixes it up since the large claw was missing which was probably broken off by the researcher when they removed it out of the tigrex mouth.
She happens to see the armour design from the Great Jaggi parts she left him. The man turns around grabbing the blueprint of the table letting Saachi hold it. It looks like it haves a black long sleeve undershirt with a thin metal armour plating covering the chest, back, and sides which were cover by a thin layer of Great Jaggi strong hide with three Jaggi claws buttoning up the right side will having three other claws matching with the other side. A thin belt was around the mid torsel well another one runs over the right shoulder to its resting on her left upper torsel with its tongue that was tucked under the top claw on the left side. The neck guard sat a little way from the neck that had a small shall the barely makes over the right shoulder to have it cover the whole left shoulder and halfway down the upper arm, made from the Great Jaggi frill with a metal shoulder plate the when up as it got closer to the neck to protect the neck was fasten to the frill shall. Armour plating covering the front of a skirt that was made from Jaggi hide with a fabric covering the side of the skirt that was the same as the inner skirt with a train forming over the metal plating covering her waist with the back falling halfway down the lower cafe of the boots. The boots were a low heel that stops below the knees were metal armour with peace of metal jetting out of the outside of the lag, covering the knees with Jaggi hide attached to the leather binding that held the knee armour in place hanging over the front of the boot. There was Jaggi hide leather covering the lags to where the skirt was not able to cover with Jaggi's claws lining up the outside of the lags where the look of different leather or some type of fabric lining the inside as it folded down splitting into four flaps. She glances over to the gloves to see it metal armour glove with metal plates can move with the hand freely with leather plums same as it covers the under fingers as well. Metal plating covers the forearms and a strap of metal running along the arm where it could attach to an armour that was protecting the elbows, with another metal strip running up the upper arms to be held in place with Jaggi hide leather wrapping around the top of the metal strip with two leather bindings attach to the leather that was attached to Jaggi leather. Some Great Jaggi hide was covering the top of the armour covering the forearm being held by three black straps with three Jaggi claws meeting them on the outside of the forearm. The helmet on the other hand looks alright but it just did not fit her taste.
"How much material do you need for everything but the helmet?" She asked The Man as he walked up to a young man in his late teens. The lively redhead had a fohawk haircut and was looking to upgrade his trusty sword and shield just for him to find out that he needs some more material or zenny. The Man walked back to her again handing her a list that he needed, grabbing it on the way that contained three different ores which were iron ore, earth crystal and machalite ore. As for Great Jaggi and Jaggi parts and a few small monster bones as well, folding the paper up to put it into her pouch. She waves to The Man as she leaves to see if there were any Great Jaggi hunts as he walked back to the red head hunter to finish helping him.
Saachi walked up to the Guildmarm hanging some hunts that she got from the gathering hub before it was full of hunters. The Guildmarm spotted Saachi as she got closer to the wagon. "Good morning Doodle, you must feel well rested from last night. So what are you looking to hunt today." She asks holding her hand out to the board with the hunting listing every other monster but not for the Great Jaggi that she needs for her armour that she what to get made for her. Saachi just gives a soft sigh to say no. "Maybe take a look in the Gathering Hub. They should have some and maybe you will see your friend." She said and she winked at her as Saachi blushed a little.
Saachi waves her hand as she walked away to walks past the Street Cook and the Caravaner talking to each other " Yes, I will join your caravan, nya." The Street Cook said rubbing his face with the back of one of his paws then continued to cook. The Caravaner let out a hardy laugh as he crossed his arms across his chest.
He notices Saachi walking by them so he waved to the new member of his caravan to join Saachi as she made her way to the Gathering Hub. "You must have one heck of a night, Kindred Hunter." He joked as he was petting his pet falcon that jumped from his shoulder to the arm. She blushes a little more as everyone keeps saying that but she still could not fully remember that much. "Well, I am going to get a merchant for the caravan then we will move to our next location." He said as he made his way to talk to an older wayvairan who was selling some rare crystal to a group of hunters as they jumped and piled up over each other.
She made her way to the Gathering Hub to see Blue sitting at a table with a wooden mug with steam coming out of the mouth of the mug as he was fixing his slinger. She grabbed one of the mugs filled with coffee then Blue looked up from his slinger seeing her walk over to the Pub Lasses. As she was flipping through the book filled with hunts, she came to the Great Jaggi as Blue walked up behind her. He has seen her take a request to take out a few Great Jaggi packs that have been overhunting the local Aptonoths hurds in the Ancestral Steppe and stopping some of the trading routes along the hunting ground. She turned around and not looking where she was walking since the Pub Lass was talking to her, she walked rate into Blue's chest almost falling over just for him to grab her with his arms. "I'm so sorry I was not paying attention." She said as she looked to see who had her in their arms just to see it was Blue, her cheeks started to blush even more. "Thanks, Blue." She thanks him as she got out of his arms and rubbed the back of her head, " if you want to join, you are more than welcome to Blue." She told him as she went to get herself ready and order a meal from the bar.
It was not as good as the Street Cook but it filled her belly up. Blue went and joined her hunt before she set out, get himself ready as she was waiting at the gate for him. After getting himself ready and fill himself up he made his way other to her and the two set out. After a two and half hour hunt and some fishing since Sandstorm loves fish and Blue needed some small fish for some new blades that he was working on. Blue and saachi walked out of the Gathering Hub, heading for the smithy. The Man just finished upgrading a sword for another sword and shield main, just to see it was the same red hair kid from early that morning. The kid seems pretty happy with an upgraded sword and how great The Man craftsmanship, how can he not be.
As they walked by the merchant the elder wyvairan sat crossing his lagged waving over her. "I will meet you at the smithy, I got to see if he needs help." She told Blue as he nodded his head then continued on his way to the smithy as she went to see if the merchant that The Caravaner was talking to needed.
As she made her way to the merchant he asked, "are you the hunter from the flyer, can you help out an old man?" Saachi nods her head still listing to him as he continued "A Kecha Wacha keeps knocking over my wagon, and hooking up the mucus everywhere. Can you hunt it down for me so I can sell my new materials?"
Saachi nods her head then to reply "I will go and hand it." She said to take a quick look at what he had left to sell. She did not see anything she needed so she headed for the smithy to meet up with Blue. As she got close to the smithy where she could Blue had The Man craft a set of Sword Rapiers which his main hand sword was a light purple blade will the offhand was a light red with a hint of the light purple running down the center of the blade. The handle of the swords was a golden colour with a black lair of thick leather as it was wrapped in a blue leather strip with a thin gold wire warping on the edges of the blue strip holding in place, on the end of the guard of the swords was a red gemstone.
The red hair kid was talking to Blue when she got closer to them she could hear him say. "My master uses the dual blades too and he uses ones almost like yours just the blades are different colours." When he has seen a shield attached to her right arm his face light up like a kid on Winter Spirit Day. "Your another sword and shield main. It is finally nice to meet someone else who uses it." Saachi smiled as she knows how rare the sword and shield mains are to come by as it took her over six years to find someone to fall teach her how to weapon use, her mentor did not even main the sword and shield since she main the insect glaive. "Well, I should be going before my master comes and Kecha Wacha me. Go to run, bye." He quickly made his way to the loading docks.
Saachi drops off all the materials that she needs for the new great Jaggi armour set, as The Man begins to work at the armour as she turns to Blue. "Talking about Kecha Wacha I need to go hunt one down for a possible new member of the caravan." She said as she saw Glenn sniffing her lag, she kneed letting him sniff her hand just for him to his hiss at her. She got up to her feet again to continue to say "I'm not sure if you can join since you are not a caravan hunter, but I have to get ready for the hunt, I hope to see you later." Saachi waved her hand as she walked to get some items she was missing before heading to the quest board.
