Percival is sitting on a bench in the city, carrying a rucksack that gets heavier and heavier, with all the shops he has visited. He is enjoying a freshly cooked meal of sausages, bacon, eggs and white pudding. A good old fried breakfast. In the middle of the day. Gods, these people seem so dull...oh well, maybe they'll come to interest me later. Not getting my hopes up, though...
Leo6/21/2016, 6:50:07 PM
"Hiya!"
Kyan swoops in to sit next to Percival
"You don't mind me sitting here, do you?"
Kyan's ordained in his armor as always. If Percival didn't already know, it's probably the weirdest armor he's seen since birth.
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 6:52:38 PM
Percival stutters in surprise, speaking before he gets the chance to think. "Du-I-Uh-Umm...no, go ahead." Great, sitting next to a loonie. With stupid clothing. This city's greeeeat.
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 6:53:28 PM(edited)
Barth tails after the wyvern rider, landing behind with Reise, commanding her to stay as he approaches.
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 6:54:53 PM(edited)
Percival doesn't even bother turning around. "So, uhh...what's your name?"
Leo6/21/2016, 6:55:20 PM
"Sir, can I have the same order as this guy's?" Kyan's pointing at Percival and also raising his hand for attention from the restaurant chef
He redirects his attention again "Hey, it's nice to meet you! I'm Kyanite."
And he extends his hand for a shake
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 6:56:22 PM
"Greetings to both of you," He leans on the end of the bench with an apple in hand.
Leo6/21/2016, 6:56:43 PM
"Hello!"
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 6:57:13 PM
Percival takes it halfheartedly. "Glad to meet you, Kyanite." Great, he has a dumb name too. He turns to Barth, but doesn't bother trying to speak over Kyan.
Leo6/21/2016, 6:57:43 PM(edited)
"Usually the person responds with a name, too, in a hand shake."
Kyan smiles at Percival
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 7:00:14 PM
Percival stares blankly at him. "Percival. Or Percy."
Leo6/21/2016, 7:01:28 PM
"I like Percival. It's a very gallant name."
"It's nice to meet you, Percival. We're all in the same group, I presume, with Dmitri?"
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 7:01:53 PM(edited)
"Greetings Percy, I am Barth," He smiles to Kyan widely. "Kyan the same to you," He offers his hand to Kyan.
Leo6/21/2016, 7:02:43 PM
Kyan shakes Barth's hands with a smile "Nice to meet you, too. Barth as in short for Bartholomew?"
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 7:02:55 PM
...how the hell does everyone...never mind. Percival continues eating his food, practically ignoring Barth's existence.
Leo6/21/2016, 7:04:11 PM
Kyan continues to look at Barth's face for a while before his order is served on a plater in front of him "YES! I was so famished!"
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 7:05:06 PM
Percival looks at him as though he's insane, and definitely thinking so.
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 7:05:34 PM
"Kyan, may I see your mount?" He expresses interest in his mount.
Leo6/21/2016, 7:06:12 PM
Kyan was just about to put a napkin through his collar and cut a piece of sausage with his knife and fork.
He halts looking back at Barth "Pardon?"
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 7:07:53 PM
"Your wyvern, can I look at it? I have yet to see a wyvern up close,"
Leo6/21/2016, 7:08:03 PM
"Oh! Um."
"I'm sorry, Barth, but would it be ok if I finished my lunch first?"
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 7:08:34 PM
Ugh, I guess I have to socialise with this fool. "Oh, Kyanite, you're a wyvern rider?" Percival seems "interested."
Still a dumb name. Ugh.
Leo6/21/2016, 7:10:12 PM
"Yes, Percival, I am a wyvern rider." He smiles as he cuts a piece of sausage and places it in his mouth.
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 7:11:50 PM
Percival begins to sound very "enthusiastic." "Oh, that's interesting! I'm...well, I suppose I'm a samurai, although I'm not from Hoshido or anything..." Keep talking, maybe you'll find some kind of smarts on this guy.
Leo6/21/2016, 7:12:32 PM
He finishes chewing before talking "I'm not from Nolore, so all the culture and history here are things I haven't quite learned about."
"Like katanas, samurais... those are quite foreign to me."
"But I am very interested in learning!"
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 7:13:23 PM
"Alright then, I can wait..." He grins as he sits down next to Reise.
Leo6/21/2016, 7:13:52 PM
"Thank you, Barth."
He cuts into his egg and sausage again.
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 7:14:37 PM
"...your continent didn't have slightly curved swords. Oh, then this must be so confusing for you..." Damnit, stop being rude. He doesn't deserve it. "I'm sure you're doing just fine though!" Percival smiles.
Leo6/21/2016, 7:16:09 PM
"Curved swords, yes, we did indeed have those. Shamshirs, scimitars. Very elegant blades, but not as quite robust as katanas."
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 7:16:15 PM
"It's a land far different than my own. What I do not quite understand is the level of uneasiness of the people with foreigners. We all are the same in thought and speech, yet why do they hold grudges?"
"Care to elaborate Percy? And yes Kyan, my full name is Bartholomew,"
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 7:18:10 PM
Percival rolls his eyes. "You're foreign. They don't know who you are, where you're from, or what the hell you're doing here. And elaborate on what, exactly?"
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 7:18:51 PM
"Exactly that. I hardly know any of you, yet I hold no malice,"
"Yet it isn't the same inverse, but you claim because it is because of my foreign nature. You have no factual evidence that I as a foreigner have done wrong,"
His tone was calm despite the subject.
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 7:22:05 PM
"I'm not saying these are my beliefs. I'm just telling you why people don't trust you. You don't need factual evidence someone did something wrong to be wary of them." Percival looks at him warily.
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 7:24:33 PM(edited)
"I understand this. However there is wariness, which is to be understood. But there comes a time where it borders outright hatred towards me it seems, which I feel requires some sort of warrant for doing so. I appreciate your insight on this Percy. What say you Kyan?"
Leo6/21/2016, 7:27:30 PM
Kyan's eating his sausage and wipes his mouth with the napkin
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 7:27:53 PM
So, will Kyan actually say something insightful?
Leo6/21/2016, 7:28:34 PM
(Sorry on mobile)
"I think both of you are quite in coherence; unwarranted or warranted, there are extreme cases such as xenophobia as Barth here mentioned, and of course there is vigilance as Percival has brought up. But I think the most important principle to keep in mind is that, no matter who the individual is, there needs to be a presumption of innocence."
" Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat."
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 7:38:37 PM
"....................." Percival is making noises, but none are enough to make a word. "Whwhwhwh..puh...mo..."
Leo6/21/2016, 7:38:47 PM
"The burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on one who denies."
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 7:38:53 PM
"Well put Kyan," He smiles that his views were stated so well.
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 7:40:12 PM
Percival shrugs. "Yeah, that was actually very well said." He raises his glass of orange juice. "Hear, hear!"
Leo6/21/2016, 7:40:56 PM(edited)
"Hear hear!" Kyan raises his glass of orange juice, as well.
"Thank you!"
"I hope that in our time here together with Dmitri that you will help me learn more about Nolore, Percival; Barth."
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 7:47:33 PM(edited)
Percival finishes his meal, and downs the remaining orange juice with as much grace as downing something can have. "Ahh...of course. I should help prove that not everyone on this continent is a racist pig." He smiles genuinely for the first time in the conversation.
Leo6/21/2016, 7:51:29 PM
"Ha ha, thank you."
Kyan finishes his meal, as well
"That was very good; nothing like I've tried back home."
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 7:53:59 PM
"I know! Gods, I love Ossolkef's food..." Percival begins fiddling with his rucksack.
Leo6/21/2016, 7:58:20 PM
"Well, Barth, I am free now. Did you perhaps want to see my wyvern now?"
jddaepicboss6/21/2016, 8:00:48 PM
Percival stands up. "No offence, but I have precious little interest in wyverns, so I shall take my leave. Good luck, you two." And with that, he briskly walks off.
Leo6/21/2016, 8:07:59 PM(edited)
"See you, Percival!"
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 8:13:26 PM
"Yes please!"
Leo6/21/2016, 8:13:41 PM
"Okay. It would be a delight."
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 8:14:04 PM
"Is it any different than a Pegasus?"
Leo6/21/2016, 8:14:25 PM
Kyan stands and places four gold coins on the table before heading out with Barth "Yes! They are so different."
"Not only appearance wise, but in velocity.... Weight.... Control....."
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 8:16:31 PM
"What about handling them? As in petting and such. Is there anywhere I should avoid?"
Leo6/21/2016, 8:16:45 PM
"Their talons and beak."
"And their scales can be rough and sharp at times."
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 8:17:51 PM
He looks over the creature intently. "Did you name them?"
Leo6/21/2016, 8:21:16 PM
He approaches the wyvern, petting it's nose bridge and scratching its underside "Yes, we name our wyverns."
"Isn't that right, Cross?"
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 8:24:24 PM
"Cross? I vaguely recall another individual having such a name for his as well. That was quite sometime ago," He waits for Kyan to finish before he does the same. "This is very different from Reise," He looks over to the old war Pegasus with a smile.
Leo6/21/2016, 8:30:25 PM
"Pegasi are wonderful, too."
"I remember when I was a kid riding one."
"They are much more graceful creatures."
He smiles at Barth as Cross nuzzles Kyan's cheek "Ha ha ha, no offense to you, Cross."
"You're way more agile."
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 8:31:53 PM
"The gentleman that lent me her asked me to help her see that world he could not show her,"
"Want to know a little secret? I plan on using bows while flying with her,"
"But for now it's lance work. My teacher hasn't quite gotten me to master the bow yet,"
Leo6/21/2016, 8:37:16 PM
"My, a bow? I guess with steady enough hands on a pegasus it would be possible."
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 8:39:40 PM
"Darting around the battlefield and shooting down the enemy air support, weaving in and taking out key footmen and mages. The possibilities are endless, and with Reise, the sky's will be my domain. No one can take that from us," He nuzzles Reise as she whinnies softly.
Leo6/21/2016, 8:51:10 PM
"My mother was a very skilled pegasus rider."
"But I don't think she was able to shoot bows from her pegasus."
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 8:56:33 PM
"She was now? She must be proud to see you took to the skies as well," He took some dried fruit from his side saddle and eats it as he has Reise take some for herself.
Littlepup6/21/2016, 8:56:47 PM
Rowan is walking up the way when he spots Barth with someone else. Hmm... Is this another person from Dmitri's little army he's amassing. Curiosity piqued, he approaches. "Hello."
Leo6/21/2016, 8:57:23 PM
"Hello."
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 8:58:01 PM
"Rowen!" He beams from seeing his companion.
Littlepup6/21/2016, 8:59:03 PM
Rowan gives Barth a small pat before turning his attention to Kyan. "I don't believe we've met before."
Leo6/21/2016, 8:59:30 PM
Kyan walks to Rowan "'Tis been an eventful day, meeting all of Dmitri's companions."
Hands extended "Kyanite. Glad to meet you, Rowan."
Huh. These two look awfully... Familiar...
Littlepup6/21/2016, 9:03:26 PM
Kyanite.... Where have I.... Wait... No. No no no no... That doesn't even make any sense. "The pleasure is mine. Kyanite, hmm? Sort of reminds me of a friend of mine from back where I come from."
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 9:04:17 PM
Barth is slowly becoming confused by their exchange.
Leo6/21/2016, 9:04:38 PM
"The name? It's a gem, ha ha ha."
"I don't know why my parents named me that."
"I go by Kyan for short."
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 9:05:11 PM
"If I may ask...Who were your Ma and Pa?"
Leo6/21/2016, 9:06:48 PM(edited)
"They are simple nobles back in my homeland. A lot of what they do is still a mystery to me!"
Littlepup6/21/2016, 9:07:31 PM
That's..... the kid's name right? But.. he's not even a year old, right? Right? Sapphire, Sean, what did you two do? Can't leave them for a year and half and not have nonsense happen can I? Do you even believe this? I don't even know. Rowan may as well have smoke rising from his ears as he tries to work all this out in his head.
Leo6/21/2016, 9:07:37 PM(edited)
Kyan has one eye brow furrowed as he still retains a smile "Awfully personal question, fellas."
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 9:08:30 PM
"My mistake. Like Rowen said,"
"It's...familiar," He taps Rowen in the side to focus.
"Isn't that right?"
Littlepup6/21/2016, 9:09:58 PM
Rowan jumps slightly as the tap jars him from his mess of a thought process. "Ah, right!"
"Sorry about that."
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 9:10:36 PM
"He's a bit of a scatterbrain," He smiles cheekily to Rowan.
Leo6/21/2016, 9:10:54 PM
"It's ok! People are bound to assume things when a foreigner visits their continent."
"But you two don't look like you're from Nolore, either."
Littlepup6/21/2016, 9:12:01 PM
"We're not."
Leo6/21/2016, 9:12:03 PM
Cross growls in the background
"Oh boy. Come on, Cross, I just gave you ice cream!"
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 9:12:43 PM
"You sure that's good for him?"
Leo6/21/2016, 9:13:10 PM
And a snort "Geez louise! I'll get you more food!"
He returns his attention to Barth "Ha ha, a little bit of blueberry ice cream won't hurt him!"
Littlepup6/21/2016, 9:14:24 PM
"So, tell me, what country do you hail from?"
"Just out of curiosity."
Leo6/21/2016, 9:17:53 PM(edited)
"It's a far, distant country from here!" "I'm from the Republic of Zaldos, far west from Nolore."
Littlepup6/21/2016, 9:18:41 PM
"So is the country I grew up in."
"Ever heard of Bachlumya? Or Mategaus? Right on the border, that's where I grew up." Rowan smiles. "It's actually very nice to meet someone from the other continent."
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 9:21:07 PM
"I apologize, but I must be leaving now. I'm needed early for flight runs," He mentions swiftly, moving to his mount to disembark. "It was a pleasure Kyan!"
Littlepup6/21/2016, 9:21:25 PM
"See you tonight, Barth."
Kratorius the Abysswalker6/21/2016, 9:21:52 PM
He sneaks a kiss on Rowen's cheek before departing. "You too,"
Leo6/21/2016, 9:22:39 PM
"It was nice meeting you!"
"I HAVE heard of Mategaus and Bachlumiya!"
"The providence is quite a nice place."
"And the city in Mategaus. It's a sight!"
Littlepup6/21/2016, 9:28:54 PM
"I was in the port town for some time before I left for Nolore. It is a very lovely looking place. Though, admittedly, my first time seeing it was under some... difficult circumstances."
Leo6/21/2016, 9:38:49 PM
"I see. Well, Rowan, it was nice meeting you here, but the sun is dawning and I must get some rest!"
Littlepup6/21/2016, 9:40:05 PM
"I hope we get the chance to speak again, mon amie. Rest well."
Leo6/21/2016, 9:40:29 PM
Wait a minute.
"What was that?"
Littlepup6/21/2016, 9:41:00 PM
Rowan looks a little confused. "What was what?"
Leo6/21/2016, 9:41:45 PM
"Moe. Uh. Moe anemone?"
Littlepup6/21/2016, 9:41:54 PM
"Oh!"
"Haha! That, right! I'm sorry!"
"Mon amie, it means 'my friend'."
Leo6/21/2016, 9:42:46 PM
"Yes."
"Ok."
"I will keep that in mind."
Huh. I remember someone saying that to me before...
Littlepup6/21/2016, 9:44:35 PM
"Right then. Perhaps we can talk again later."
Leo6/21/2016, 9:44:55 PM
"Yes, see you later, Rowan."
And he takes Cross to a nearby barn adjacent to the housing provided by Dmitri
Littlepup6/21/2016, 9:46:16 PM
Rowan goes on his way. He still has some things he needs to do before he goes to sleep for the night.
