[8:26 PM] Krillkado: Just a stone's throw from the Freyzenese sea, Sula is tending to a falicorn and a fuzzy foal, singing softly to them. Shimi is enjoying the feeling of the cool water dripping off her wings, while Este grazes absentmindedly.(edited)
[8:29 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "flysbane, flysbane..." Versailles repeated ti himself as he walked through the field that Este is slowly shortening.
[8:37 PM] Krillkado: Sula looked back and spotted a familiar monk's uniform. "Versa-i...Kwemo to you! "
[8:40 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: He looked up from his surveying of the ground. "Sula? Good to see you." He smiled, walking over to him.
[8:46 PM] Krillkado: "It is hard to believe...they would let a healer wander so far away, ha!" Sula grinned back. "The hospitals are emptier, then?"
[9:06 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Oh, I'm on a hunt for reagents actually. Queen Lunarea asked me to help on the expedition and so I'm making potions."
[9:18 PM] Krillkado: "Ha...would you like any help? " Sula stood up listlessly, waving a gold-sleeved arm in the direction of the oblivious foal. "Este-i has a nose for rare plants to eat, ha ha."
[9:26 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Well, I don't know if they're rare plants, but I'd love some help. I'm looking for... Flysbane." he finished, looking at his list.
[9:37 PM] Krillkado: "Flysbane..That should not be too hard." Sula takes Shimi's reins. "Can you keep an eye on the little one, Versa-i?"
[9:55 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Uh, sure..." he looks at Este. What do I even do?
[9:57 PM] Krillkado: Este continues chewing on the grass in his mouth, while Sula leads the falicorn closer to Versailles. "We can take them with us!"
[9:58 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Alright." He eyes the beast up and down, unsure of how to approach it.
[10:05 PM] Krillkado: Sula lets his fingers hang downwards, spinning his hand out as if stirring a pot. "From the side, Versa-i. Go it, sloww...."
[10:08 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: Versailles sidesteps to the side of Este and then slowly comes close.
[10:12 PM] Krillkado: The foal, as friendly and eager for affection as ever, closes the distance on his own, and looks up to Versailles with big baby eyes.
[10:13 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Whoa, Um... hello."
[10:13 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: He puts up his hand to show he means no harm.
[10:18 PM] Krillkado: Este gets even closer, raising his fluffy head into Versailles' hand.
"A new friend..."
[10:23 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: Versailles slowly strokes Este's head, towards his neck. He sighs in relief.
[10:31 PM] Krillkado: Este stays put, enjoying the attention. Shimi snorts, and tries to amble off ahead, but Sula gives her a chiding scratch with his hand.
[10:32 PM] Krillkado: "I know he looks small, but Este-i is a strong boy. He will not slow you down."
[10:34 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: Versailles smiles, "I don't doubt it. He gives Este a light pat.
[10:37 PM] Krillkado: Este lets out a diminutive nicker at his new friend. Sula's eyes, meanwhile, scan the surroundings for anything but grass. Not seeing anything right away, he glances back to the monk with a blank smile.
[10:51 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: Versailles doesn't notice Sula because he is busy petting Este. He smiles brightly as he strokes Este.
[11:01 PM] Krillkado: Sula's expression begins to glow genuinely, seeing how easily the young man could fill himself with the little one's presence. Meanwhiile, Este stills himself. The foal is as preoccupied as the monk.
[11:15 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Este huh?" Versailles rhetorically asks the horse. "Are you this nice to everyone?"(edited)
[11:23 PM] Krillkado: "He..." Sula stops, not wanting to ruin the monk's mood by explaining how his mother abandoned him. "..truly loves people, does he not... ha ha ha."
[11:24 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: Versailles gives him another pat. "He seems like it. Have you always had him?" Versailles looked at Sula.
[11:36 PM] Krillkado: "Since he was born!" Sula beams with pride. "Vivi-e saved his life."
[11:46 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Oh! I hadn't heard about that! Wow, thats fantastic!" He looked back at Este. "Well I'm glad she did." he stroked Este again.
[11:51 PM] Krillkado: Sula leaves him plenty of time to pet the baby horse, waiting until he is ready to carry on.(edited)
[11:54 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Come on Este, we can't keep Sula waiting." Versailles starts to follow Sula.
[11:56 PM] Krillkado: "Nnuu...I thought this was your quest first, Versa-i?" Regardless, he sets out in search of flysbane.
[11:57 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: ====RP END====
[12:12 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Oh, no bad memories, just that I spent most of my time with my mother in her shop, no extended family or too many close friends."
[12:13 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: He took off his basket. "We can rest here, maybe Shimi just wants a break?"
[12:22 AM] Kwakado: "Of course, yes...I would not mind, a talk, ha ha ha." Sula sits down next to Shimi. "I am sure Este-i would like that, too."
[12:26 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Ah! It feels good to get off my feet!" He stretched his legs out.
[12:26 AM] Kwakado: "Have you been getting more rest, Versa-i?"
[12:27 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Well, a little, But its always so busy in the castle, and we are now prepareing for the expedition."
[12:30 AM] Kwakado: "So much to do...Amaterasu will keep a fast rhythm, for the rest of its days." Sula let his own joints relax, feeling a little fatigue start to catch up with him now that he'd stopped. "But at least those raids are over, ha ha ha."
[12:31 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Yes," He nodded. "I'm glad the people are safe, inside the walls of the castle."
[12:33 AM] Kwakado: The Dwabi gave Versailles a curious stare. Was he really so confident in the shattered army's ability to stand against Gallaran...or just being friendly.
"Yes, yes, very Kwemo. They have been, so brave, in these days."
[12:34 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "But on another topic, shall we test this bug repellant?"
[12:38 AM] Kwakado: "Test it?" Sula looks around for any insects, noticing only a dragonfly off in the distance. "Ommm...."
[12:40 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "I should be able to check its efficacy by the smell."
[12:41 AM] Kwakado: Sula's eyelids creeped up a hair, and a grin slipped out. "..Truly."
[12:43 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Yes, when I was travelling through Freyzenwald witj my mentor, our guide used this plant to ward off bugs. He taught us what the varying strengths smelled like."
[12:44 AM] Kwakado: "I would like to see this smell!" Sula's face perks up.
[12:45 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Do you have matches? I completely forgot to bring some!"
[12:47 AM] Kwakado: "Ommmmmmm...." For some reason, Sula takes a longer moment than usual to meditate. "I think I can do that." He retrieves his Ox Spirit from the side of his robe.
[12:49 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "You're going to use magic? Isn't that dangerous?"
[12:54 AM] Kwakado: "Of course!" Sula twirls the leather around on his finger. "But so is wood...if it is fired into a man's chest. The, spirits of magic, are not different."
[12:57 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Alright...." Versailles placed some of the Flysbane on the ground and backed away.
[1:01 AM] Kwakado: "Ommmmmmmmmmm........mmmmm...." With one hand clutching the scroll to his chest, and the other scrunched over the the plants, Sula concentrates intensely. With a sudden gasp, a crimson spark jets from his fingers, lighting a good chunk of the weed almost immediately.
[1:04 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Wow!" Versailles steps forward, taking a sniff of the smoke. "Hmm... its quite strong, but it seems different..."
[1:06 AM] Kwakado: "Mmm...that was a strong spark..." Sula leans in closer himself, letting the smoke sift around him. "...bu, nanyo?"
[1:07 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Whats that?" Versailles turned to Sula, taking another breath.
[1:08 AM] Kwakado: "I do not know...you are the one with the special smell, yes?" Sula takes in an even deeper whiff, trying to gauge the nutrition of this foreign-born Flysbane. "It smells....different."
[1:09 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: Versailles sits down, slowly breathing in and out. "I don't know what it is. But it smells about right."
[1:12 AM] Kwakado: "Nna, it is...s-strong..." Sula takes in more of it, trying to remember the times he had smelled burning plants....they had never given a distinct sense of being a blessing or a curse before, now that he'd thought about it. "I wonder.." Inhaling one more time, he sits back across from Versailles, coughing out a bit of smoke as he leans back. "...yes."
[1:13 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Perhaps..." Versailles pauses for a long time in thought.
[1:15 AM] Kwakado: "...very strong." This mystery should have been quite frustrating to him, but Sula was content to ponder it in peace, letting his palms float up slowly to his shoulders.
[1:17 AM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: Versailles just stared blankly at Sula, occasionally looking around.
[8:26 PM] Kwakado: "Ommmmmmm...." Sula managed to meditate too hard, and started to fall asleep. So he opened his eyes again, watching the Freyzenese monk carefully.(edited)
[8:28 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Well... I'm not getting bit..." He blinked slowly.
[8:30 PM] Kwakado: "Kwemo...you've saved us all, Versa..i.." Sula reached out to give him a pat on the head. But his arm only made it halfway across.
[8:31 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "From what?" He coughed as Sula's swatting motion wafted more smoke at him.
[8:34 PM] Kwakado: "The flies..." Sula retracted his hand and brought it to his forehead.
[8:35 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Oh... Yeah... Well you helped me find this..." he motioned to the burning plant.
[8:42 PM] Kwakado: "Truly...? I..can't remember very much, about that..." Sula was indeed forgetting a chunk of time in between departing on this trip and returning from it. "...was it....easy?"
[8:44 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Yeah... I think... But then Shime wasn't cooperating..."
[8:46 PM] Kwakado: "That is right. Yes.....Hm....." Sula smiles stupidly across at him.
[8:49 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: Versailles smiled stupidly back.
[8:52 PM] Kwakado: "So...I wonderr....Why do the gods hate your kingdom so much, Versa-i?"(edited)
[8:55 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Hmm... maybe its because of the... Wait, what do you mean?"
[9:00 PM] Kwakado: "They sent you demons.....we beat the demons. So they send you Galla-ran.....If we beat Galla-ran, what comes next? Something big....hhha, ha, ha..."
[9:02 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Hmm... I suppose... Perhaps they like to challenge us? We can take it, so they send it?"
[9:06 PM] Kwakado: "That's...a truly happy answer!" Sula couldn't stop chuckling. "They like to challenge us..."
[9:09 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: Versailles stood up suddenly. "Sula! Our group of soldiers are amazing! Claire, Vivianna, Leodin! All so tough! How can the gods not challenge us?"
[9:17 PM] Kwakado: "I....know that." Sula bounces a finger in the air at him. "But then the gods have taken other men...children...just to challenge the strong?? That is a funny game, very, truly, funny...."
[9:18 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: Versailles gives a shrug. "Perhaps the gods don't like a complete loss, so they punish us. I'm not happy about it, but I'm afraid I cannot ressurect the dead."
[9:22 PM] Kwakado: "Mmmm....a battle against the gods. A high virtue, these days...." Sula tried to give the man a good Nohrian handshake. "Let us join forces, then!"
[9:23 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: Versailles awkwardly grasps Sula's hand and shakes it. "Let us show the gods who is strongest!"
[9:26 PM] Kwakado: "Ha. HA!" His grip tightened fatally. "If they want a fight...they will get one here! We'll kill them all, Versa-i!"(edited)
[9:29 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "We won't fall!"
[9:36 PM] Kwakado: "NoooOOO! Hahahahahahaha!" Sula fell back to his back. "What do they teach you Shati in Freyzen-wald?"
[9:38 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "I don't know!" Versailles falls backwards as well, laughing.
[9:40 PM] Kwakado: "Stealing some Nanya girl's heart...It is like no one here knows true respect..." Sula chuckled with him. "Perfect for Sula-u."(edited)
[9:41 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Uhh..." Versailles is confused by Sula's words and stops laughing.
[9:43 PM] Kwakado: "You know....Holy man....in love....I know, it is not a strange thing to say in this land." He rolled over, resting his chin on his folded hands. "Tell me more, of the Frey-zen way."
[9:45 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "I don't know..." Versailles slowly lay down. "We are a large country, we have many customs."
[9:47 PM] Kwakado: "Yes, yes...yes." Sula nods slowly and rhythmically, giving him time.
[9:48 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "I think most people believe in peace, but at the same time, we do not accept defeat. It is an ironic combination."
[9:59 PM] Kwakado: "Ah...so peace, is a valuable sacrifice, then...it wards off defeat, when you give it up?"
Sula leaned in for another whiff of the valuable sacrifice in front of him.
[10:02 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "There can be no peace in subjugation."
[10:04 PM] Kwakado: "Subjugation? But every kingdom man is a subject....Is that, not peaceful?"
[10:08 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "I would think you can tell the difference between subjugation and a government... No, that is not subjugation. Subjugation is a forceful control over peoples lives that happens after losing a war. It is a false peace, in which people are forced to live under the rule of another country, where they have no say in their lives."
[10:14 PM] Kwakado: "A Galla-ran flag...A Ruri-jisa flag....but the soil does not change. Freyzen-wald...its rule, is important to your people, though..."(edited)
[10:16 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "It is a blessing to have a leader who cares for the people, especially if the citizenry have a say in who that leader is."
[10:21 PM] Kwakado: "And that is why you do not mind, being under her force. Because that is the fate you all chose?"
[10:23 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "What do I know of trade? Or who shall defend my mothers shop? Is total chaos a fate you choose? I pity the fool who does"
[10:31 PM] Kwakado: "I wonder....Is foolishness, your mind's defeat? Omm. " He rolled back onto his back. "Something is not right hereee....."(edited)
[10:31 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "What is it?"
[10:32 PM] Kwakado: "I think your sacrifice, was Nanyo."
[10:33 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "What sacrifice?"
[10:36 PM] Kwakado: "...that." He points to the pile of Flysbane. "Or...was it, my sacrifice? How did we even...get it?"
[10:37 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "I..." He looked around, spotting his basket. "We must have picked it..."
[10:38 PM] Kwakado: "...yeah! good job, to us!" He smirked to the fellow monk. "I think the gods are, truly furious, right now.....We did it."(edited)
[10:42 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Possibly... Should we head back then?"
[10:49 PM] Kwakado: "Uuuuuuu....yeaahhh." He stretches lazily, starting to get up.
[10:50 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: Versailles stands up and picks up his basket.
[10:50 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Back to the castle!" he starts walking back towards the city, swaying as he does
[10:55 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: ======RP END=======
