Clanmates|Clan Char, Naurorod

[Kender Bard]

Charminei looked a little sheepish and blushed while speaking with Ichi. "I'm afraid I don't know your name. I've been away a long time and, well, you know how it goes. My brother is going to chew my ears for this."

[iamtuo]

Ichi waves his left hand in dismissal of her worries. "Dont worry about it, i'm usually out scouting outside the clans borders, and before that I was living in Maelstrom for a while so it's okay if you dont know my name....Oh yeah, my name is Ichi, pleased to meet you."

[Kender Bard]

"You caught me in the midst of thoughts," Charminei remarked. "But it's fine. They were the kind of thoughts that are best interrupted lest they spiral out of control." Gah, what was wrong was her? Was she just looking for a sympathetic ear. "So what are you coming back from now? A scouting foray? Hunting? Hm?"

[iamtuo]

"Well, both I guess. Just felt like coming out here at the crack of dawn." Ichi glances up at the sun momentarily, still smiling before jerking his head back to the sun, shielding eyes with hand. "Oh crap...it's already past noon..my sister is going to be upset about this...."

[Kender Bard]

"Siblings trouble?" Charminei chuckled, extending her hand to him. "Come on, we'll both go back and get our beatings. I didn't expect to return back until nightfall, but I won't have you getting a tongue lashing alone. If you keep me company, I'll even cover for you. How about that?"

[iamtuo]

Ichi gives a look of relief. "Thanks Elder, but what can I do for you in return?"

[Kender Bard]

"I told you," she giggled, slapping him gently on the shoulder with the back of her hand. "Keep me company. Make me remember why I come home, hm? It's way too easy to think only about all the down stuff, but it's my clan-family that makes it worth doing." She stretched, putting her arms behind her head while she walked. "Tell me, after we took care of the Lost One problem, have things been okay around here? Nobody's been grumbling right?"

[iamtuo]

"No, it's been pretty peaceful around here. it's actually been a little boring. Though now that your back we can look foward to a celebration soon?" ;D

[Kender Bard]

Charminei laughed softly. "Actually..." She paused, slung an arm around the man and pulled him closer so she could whisper conspiratorially in his ear. "Don't tell anyone since my brother will have a litter of kittens if this leaks out before he's ready, but we're going to have a big ceremony in honor of there being a new Elder."

[iamtuo]

Ichi's eyes widen and he whispers back. "A new elder? Who is it?"

[Kender Bard]

She takes great delight in his surprise. It's been far too long since she got to play around like this. "His name is Alexian Black; the finest bounty hunter that Naruta has ever seen too. He's a Fire-Storm actually. How's that for a lark, eh?"

[iamtuo]

Ichi grins more widely upon learning he is a fire/storm. "Well I dont think it's a lark. Not that I know what a lark is exactly...but I have respect for the Storms and it's good seeing that reflected in my clanmates." ^_^

[Kender Bard]

"He's got Fire honor and Storm arrogance," she snorted, but smiled. "But have no worry, he's a good man. I'm pretty sure he'll be put in charge of the warriors actually. He's a good mind for fights, which I've seen firsthand. But, ah..." She thought of how unhappy he was. How could someone lead into battle without their heart in it, unless it was to drown out their sorrow? She shuddered a little at that. "I have a problem. Could you help me?"

[iamtuo]

"Of course, it would be my honor to help in any way I can." Ichi says, attempting to focus his attention on the conversation and not about what this new elder may be like.

[Kender Bard]

Charminei lowers her voice even softer, as she explains, "Alexi isn't here by total choice. He is being forced into this position by his honor; he does not want to abandon our child, so he must become an Elder. For someone who has spent the best years of their life on the road, that can be a problem, correct?"
