Re: Trail of Letters (Reserved, Mature)

He was back before she awoke for sure. He even checked her room to see that she was still in there, even receiving the forged note before he headed back to his own room to catch up on the sleep he missed due to his night excursion. He woke up in the afternoon, showering quickly before heading out. He found Isa outside, presumably taking a break from sketching. He watched her from a distance for a moment before approaching her quietly. He sat down beside her, a comfortable distance between them.

"You aren't on shift today?" he asked her, looking up at the sky.

She jumped when eh spoek not having noticed him there really "Not until the evening, that was the only time they coudl fit me in" she said bluntly to him"Also shouldn't you be looking for somewhere to work for a bit as well?" she asked him curiously if anything as she looked up to him not bothering to sit up with him there at all since she wanted to relax. She had sketches on her other side as she relaxed encase she felt like sketching something.

"Ah," he said softly in understanding. He wondered if there was anything he could use this for his advantage. He could figure it out later. "I could easily get a job to help support the funds for a Gallient, which, by the way, I've got a very low estimate for. I, however, have a different way of collecting money. May not be the cleanest, most honest way, but that's how I grew up, so it's the easiest thing for me to do." Plus, he was kind of lazy if the job had no purpose. Why should he work hard for a fixed pay when he could kick back and steal large amounts?

"Fine then do what you will, just don't expect me to get involved if you ever caught" she said sort figuring it out and just closed her eyes a little thinking for a bit before she opened them. "What estimate did you get anyway?" she asked him curiously looking up at him once more and checked on the time to ensure she wasn't late or the time she was lat eby would be deducted from her pay which she didn't want to happen.

by Nyako-Chan Sun Jun 17, 2012 5:35 pm

"Considering an average Gallient is about five to six hundred thousand in price, and ignoring the fact that this village can't really consider their quality of Gallient to be average, more or less below the line of that, I've gotten the estimate to one-fifty thousand." It was liking buying a used Gallient really, not that he minded whether or not it was of high quality breeding or not. The Gallient would suffice what it was needed for, and that would be all they would need from it.

"Wow that's good" she said to him sitting up and rustling her hair wondering how he had gotten such a low estimate, "Anyway my shift is soon and I neeed to get ready" she said to him adn stood up brushing herself down, she hurried back and got herself ready for work tying ehr hair up deciding she'd have a shower afterwards sicne she flet like she needed one. She began to serve the tables getting there jsut in time ad gave a sigh of releif as she passed otu the dishes of food and drink to the customers in there.

by Nyako-Chan Mon Jun 18, 2012 1:30 pm

Lux stayed where he was, looking off into the distance and wondering what he should do next. Whatever she was going to do next once they got the Gallient, he just had to make sure he stayed by her side. He had to make sure she trusted him enough or at least let him stay close. She had little reason to distrust him, he felt, but maybe she felt differently.

by Rose for the Hunter Tue Jun 19, 2012 4:21 am

Isa finsihed serving the tables and drinks and helped with cleaning up before she headed to the shower and gave a light sigh washing her hair quickly before she tied it up changing into her clothes again before she walked out and thought a little to herself. She graoned a little in annoyance and laid back on ehr bed staring at the ceiling after she had dried her hair. "Raven... that's it maybe somewhere where there are a lot of ravens" she said thinking a little she went to the Inn counter and asked to borrow a map before she searched for the most likely places.

by Nyako-Chan Tue Jun 19, 2012 10:06 am

He stayed outside, enjoying just kicking back and letting her work for the money they needed. He stayed out long enough to see her finish her shift and head out, looking determined. He was wondering when she'd go looking for the clue. All the sitting around was getting boring. He decided to get up and tag along, passing it off as a casual curiosity to follow her.

"What's up?" he asked, catching up to her. "Did you figure something out?"

by Rose for the Hunter Tue Jun 19, 2012 10:58 am

"hmm possibly" she answered "Why do you ask?" she said having her cloak wrapped around her to keep her warm. She was tired but wanted to check out the first place it could be since it wasn't too far away from here anyway. She took a quick walking pace and headed out of the village saying she'd be back by her next shift and didn't really want him to follow instead she tried to shrug him off. After a long walk she came to the first place noticing all the ravens in their nests in the old ruins and looked for any sign of a letter in this dark place. "Where would it be?" she muttered.

by Nyako-Chan Tue Jun 19, 2012 5:50 pm

"I ask because I'm curious is all," he had responded at the time, wondering later on if he could have chosen a better answer. It sounded innocent enough, he supposed. No sense on dwelling on past mistakes. When they got to their destination, he decided to be a little more helpful than the last clue where he had blatantly avoided gazing at the location.

"Try the nest," he suggested, "one of them could have something in it. Can you climb?"

by Rose for the Hunter Wed Jun 20, 2012 3:15 am

"Fine then" she muttered and kept searched she looked to him a little when he spoke and nodded she pulled herself up or rather climbed up easily and checked the nest, she sighed... no luck. climdbing back down carefully she jumped down at the end and kept searchign finding some smaller old hidden nests and searched through them eventually finding something.

by Nyako-Chan Wed Jun 20, 2012 8:47 am

"You find anything?" he called to her as he watched her climb trees, disturb birds, and climb back down when she was unsuccessful. He figured he ought to be climbing too, but then decided it was more her quest than his. Indirectly it was his, and he had already done his climbing it hide it.

by Rose for the Hunter Wed Jun 20, 2012 9:50 am

She sighed and gave a nod "yeah I found another one, apperntly there is only one more letter left" she muttered. This was a very strange clue though not one that she would figure out straight away at all."I'll read it later on, let's just get back I'm tired and I still have a shift tomorrow" she said to him and stuffed it in ehr pocket to read the next day when she had time. She headed to bed once more placing it on the bed side table before heading to sleep, she ahd a quick shower that morning and was just thinking a little to herself.
The morning she left quite early nd this time amde sure that he didn't follow her heading back to where the ravens were she found a particuliar house and searched through there picking up a peice of the key, "Well now I just need to find where it goes" she said deciding to hide it she palced it around her neck under her dress to keep it safe. The two peices fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle. Heading back she made sure no one saw it and then headed back to read the letter.

by Nyako-Chan Wed Jun 20, 2012 4:48 pm

Come the early morning Lux let her go off on her own. He was a light sleeper, so when her room door shut, he was up. He didn't follow her though as she appeared to be attempting to keep her location secret. She was straying from him, he wondered how to fix this. Perhaps there wasn't enough trust between the two of them. How to remedy this? He could buy her something nice. Or by buy, he meant steal. He could find a lot of nice things for her if it meant she'd be more open to him and she wouldn't try to play sneak-around-secrets. When she returned he could only guess at what she had done. He wouldn't ask her about it though. He'd have to figure out later on his own.

by Rose for the Hunter Thu Jun 21, 2012 2:37 am

Returning other room she sighed and looked to the key holding it up trying to remember what had been sealed away so long ago and what it was that was so powerful that people were after it and that she had broken the key in half. She looked to it briefly before hiding it away again and went to her shift. After that she went to find Lux, “I think we should move from here soon, once we get the galliant we are getting out of here the next clue seems to be somewhere else not in this area” she said. Her memories were slowly coming back words in which her mother had said to her made her a little nervous and a lot more cautious than she was before to the point she hid things like the completed key. She looked up a little to the sky “And I want to get back home once this is all over, better that way”

by Nyako-Chan Fri Jun 22, 2012 3:43 pm

(Whoops, I meant to answer this yesterday and then had to leave. Then forgot about it entirely.)

Lux turned to her when she approached, nodding in agreement with her suggestion. "I agree, I think you should be home as soon as possible. It's too dangerous for you to be in a dimension you aren't used to and don't know how to survive." And the sooner he had that key, and the sooner she was back in her dimension, the better. "Where to next?"

by Rose for the Hunter Fri Jun 22, 2012 3:54 pm

"I ahve no idea, it's a weird riddle, says the ride of the clouds dwell here" she said sighing a little at the clue it was a weird one that was for sure. " Any ideas, well the ride of the clouds where i come form is a pegasus" she said "not sure about here though" she said doing a rough sketch of one to show him "basically a horse with wings" she muttered thinking a little to herself about what esle coudl be "Unless they mean a dragon fo course, old tales of people riding them where i come from" she muttered giving a sigh. "this is hopeless"

by Nyako-Chan Fri Jun 22, 2012 5:20 pm

"An odd riddle, indeed." He looked at the sketch of the flying 'horse' as she was calling it. "Does your dimension really have these things flying around the skies?" he asked, wondering what it would be like to have Gallients flying around all the time. It would be strange, for certain. Lux cocked his head to the side, wondering why she was giving up so fast on this. Usually she spent more time thinking about it before exclaiming that she had no idea what she was doing.

"The only thing we have that flies even close to the clouds are Great Vlasks. They're nearly extinct, plus, they're very shy. Won't come out in the open if there's a person there."

by Rose for the Hunter Sat Jun 23, 2012 2:27 am

She shook her head "No. not really but there are legends and stories about them even though they don't really exsist" she said thining a little before he spoke "Any idea where the dwell there of will I have to figure that out myself, guess asking around would be a good place to start" she muttered to herself giving a yawn since she was quite tired.

by Nyako-Chan Sat Jun 23, 2012 12:40 pm

"Like I said, they're nearly extinct. You're very hard pressed to even find where a single pack could be. They hide very well, and usually in the hard to reach places." Sometimes he wished she would just dismiss his ideas and ask for a different idea. Even though he threw out hints for her, usually people asked for the other options too.

by Rose for the Hunter Sat Jun 23, 2012 12:53 pm

"Hmm what about mountains, anyway if it's a hard to reach place maybe we should save for that galliant first" she said nodding a little at the idea "Well what do you think?" she asked she wanted to go back home by now jsut wanting to finish this chasing letters game already.

by Nyako-Chan Sun Jun 24, 2012 7:13 pm

"Sure, we should get the Gallient first. Wouldn't want to waste a good discount, after all." One he worked very hard to get, mind. They should be pretty close, he figured, maybe if he worked a bit harder to acquire a higher income of each day. Steal more, sell more, he would make it work. If he kicked back and let her do all the work, which he was wont to do, then they'd get no where fast, so he might as well pitch in for the Gallient he was going to keep in the end.

by Rose for the Hunter Mon Jun 25, 2012 1:48 am

She nodded a little at what he said "Also we shouldn't be too far off anyway" she muttered thinking a little before looking to him. Rustling her hair a little she stood up "Anway I have things to do" she said and headed to the town to look around a little to pass time until her own shift that night. She had a lot to think about as well.

by Nyako-Chan Tue Jun 26, 2012 4:42 am

"Right, you do that," he muttered, looking away and heading off in the opposite direction. Next location they got, he'd have to write the last letter and be more careful about her finding it this time. Last time when he had to swap them out was too risky. If she knew he was the one writing them he could consider her trust as good as gone. He needed her to trust him and need him so she would keep him close, as well as sharing information. He almost felt bad, but if it was for a treasure no one else could have but him, he couldn't care less. Besides, she wouldn't need it in the world she would be returning to.
