A messenger and a story seeker...|Obsidian

[Toyoll]

Quynh stumbled into Obsidian with shaky legs. She has never walked that far in an extremely long time. She wobbled to the nearest wall and leaned heavily on it. She looked toward Chast with a meek smile. "Heheheh....I guess I need more practice..."

[rynskald]

They entered the city as they heard the first rumbling of thunder. Chast was exausted too, he walked all day long without any break. He rested against the wall just beside Quynh.

"Well me too, I can't feel my legs anymore!"

He looked around, searching for any clue of a inn.

"Do you know a place not too expensive where we could rest?"

[Toyoll]

Quynh gestured towards the upper level of the city, "There's a really nice place right up there, but first, I need to get this delivered.", she prodded her parcel bag with her thumb, "It's gonna be late if I put it off 'till tomorrow."

She staggered to her feet and started to walk slowly.

[rynskald]

"I think my legs can wait"

He stood up and followed Quynh with an amazed silence. He was looking at the city, she was so wonderful! When the only thing you knew was your little village, Obsidian was amazing!

"Where do you have to deliver this?"

[Toyoll]

Quynh puffed and wheezed as she walked onwards, "I..Have to get this...to..to a Taini Ilandere...I've got to go see..the leaders in...the main halls."

Quynh lost footing and fell, face first, onto the cobble stone lane. She groaned and turned her head to the right, where she saw a small tavern.

The bat affinity sighed in relief and struggled to her feet, "But first..I need a drink.."

[adris]

A rather large man was walking home from a long days work in the mines, upon doing so he saw what seemed to be a person in the distance stumble and fall. Showing obvious concern for the situation he ran to the figure to find the bat affinity beginning to stand, but with a hard time doing so. Without even missing a beat he offered her his hand and spoke.

"Excuse me miss, I noticed you seem exhausted, are you all right? Can you think of anything I can get for you, maybe an herbalist?"

He continued to offer, and nodded towards her companion to show that he acknowledged they were there as well.

[Toyoll]

Quynh managed a flustered smile and accepted his help, "No, thank you, I'm in no need for an herbalist at the moment." she glanced at Chast, "Sorry, this is so embarassing... You see, I don't walk all that often, I was just practicing..."

This is worse than the time I fell into a barrel of fish..., she thought, but quickly snapped back to reality. "Oh, please excuse my manners, I'm Quynh of Seere and this is my companion, Chast of Seere. Folks call me Clumsy Quynh!" she said pleasantly, "For...obvious reasons." Quynh extended a wingtip in greeting.

[rynskald]

Chast knelled beside Quynh when she fell. He touch her arm and looked at her with this worried face.

"Are you ok?"

But before she could answer, a man came to them. The Beast Elemental stood up and noded when the Bat affinity made the presentations.

"Do you want me to get you something to drink?" he offered with a shy tone to his companion.

[Toyoll]

Quynh grinned to her raccoon friend, "I would greatly apreciate that!", she turned to the man, "Well, thank you so much, kind sir. I hope we meet again!"

Suddenly, she snapped her wing, as if cracking a whip, her version of snapping her fingers,"Oh! I just thought of something! Do you know where I could find Taini Illandere? I have a package for her, but the sender didn't give me an address..."

[rynskald]

Chast nodded again. I go toward the tavern and entered. Without paying attention to the stranges glances peoples in the room where having at him, he walked to the counter. An man in the late forties came to him.

" 'Scuse me sir, it is possible to have a glass of water, my friend outside doesn't feel good."

The owner smiled and nodded, and came back with the order.

"Thanks you sir"

Chast left the tavern and join the nice man and Quynh. He gave her the glass full of water.

"There you go!"

[adris]

The man smiled at hearing the name and nodded... although he thought it strange that she be getting anything from the outside. Oh well it wasn't his buisiness to be poking his nose into someone elses mail.

"Why yes I do, find it hard to believe that anyone would be contacting her from the outside... in any case she is the daughter of a good friend of mine. You will find her house on the street leading to mine two, noticable because of it's yellow color."

He nodded and bowed, glad if he could help a little, and began to walk on his way hearing that she didn't need his help.

[Toyoll]

Quynh's ears pricked up as soon as he said that he knew who this was for, "Thank you very much, sir!', she called back, then turned to Chast, "Okay Mine two in a yellow house! Got it! Now lets go deliver this package then we can rest and visit Obsidian!^^="

[rynskald]

"Yup!" he answered with enthusiast.

He stayed close to Quynh, in case she fell again. Chast began to wonder how that woman may look like... He didn't see a lot of other elemental type, and meeting some of them was a pleasure to him. They walked toward the mine two, and fastly find the yellow house.

"Well, here we are!"

[Toyoll]

Quynh blinked, "Wow, you find your way pretty quick!" she smiled and half trotted, half hopped to the door of the canary yellow house.

She reached down into her pack and retrieved a fair sized package, wrapped in brown paper held down by a hemp string. The bat affinity raised her claw to the door and knocked three times. After that, she cleared her throat, quickly fixed her blond hair and shifted a little, a routine she established long ago.

[adris]

At that moment a voice could be heard from behind the door, a young woman's.

"I can get it father, finish your dinner."

She arrived at the door and opened it as carefully as she could the thick structure and timidly peeked out. After seeing the visitor she opened it the rest of the way and stood straight up.

"Hello, what brings you here kind lady? Do you need something my family can provide?"
