Runaway|Clan Char, Naurorod

[Northen Light36]

Now certain that she's completely lost, Acqua unknowingly limps into the outer edges of Clan Char's land. "Stupid brothers," she tells Faith angrily. "Think they know everything. Well fine, this time I'm not going back. Ever. They can just-" Just then Acqua missteps as the soft sand underfoot shifts and her bad leg gives out from under her, prompting a cry of pain from the water/storm as the strained and damaged muscle tears. Feeling sick from the heat and now the pain, Acqua can't keep from bringing up her last meal all over the sand seconds before passing out.

[Devon]

While on his way back from his daily sprints Ryuk overhears the cry of pain and goes to investigate. Kneeling beside the girl Ryuk checks to see if she is breathing. "Wonder where she came from. Oh well no sense in letting this girl die out here." Ryuk hoists the girl over his shoulder and heads into Clan Char to get her taken care of.

[Northen Light36]

Not wanting to leave her mistress and in desperate need of a drink, Faith trots along in Ryuk's shadow.

[Devon]

Ryuk sets Acqua down in his hut and goes off to get some water for her.

[Kender Bard]

One of the clanmates meets Ryuk on his way back. Grinning, she calls out, "Ryuk, did you finally find a woman that you wanted to keep? You didn't have to hit her on the head! You're not that ugly!"

[Devon]

Ryuk waves at his clanmate and chuckles a bit. "Har har. I didn't hit her, I found her passed out. And who said I was keeping her?"

[Northen Light36]

The realtive cool of the hut and feeling of Faith licking her face is enough to slowly bring Acqua around with a quiet groan of pain. "I'm okay Faith," she murmurs, starting to sit up and nearly becoming sick again. "Ohh, okay, that's not a good idea," she comments, her eyes still shut.

[Kender Bard]

"Well, if she's not from Naurorod, you're going to have to tell one of the Elders," the clanner warned. "Though I'll let you pick which is the lesser evils. Elder Charanth looks like he's going to cut down the next person that asks him for anything; Elder Charminei and Elder Alexi have recently returned from their shopping in Ilyamen. Charminei is running around preparing their wedding. Needless to say, everyone is busy. But I still think this is something that needs to be brought up. She might be a threat or a spy or something. Can't be too careful."

[Devon]

"Hmm you're right. Maybe I should bother Elder Alexi with it. He is new and I suppose he has to be broken in right?" Ryuk smirks at the last part. "I'll go see him right after I drop off this water." Ryuk then takes the water back to his hut. "Hey, now that you're awake if you are thirsty I brought water." Ryuk sets the water down.

[Northen Light36]

Acqua forces her eyes open and sits up, very carefully. "Thanks," she murmurs, drinking some of the water then pouring a little into her cupped hand to let Faith drink. Glancing around, Acqua adds, "Um... Where is this?"

[Devon]

"Naurorod, to be specific Clan Char, to be more specific my hut, but it is all still in Naurorod. I am Ryuk, who are you?" Ryuk sits down on a table in his hut and looks at Faith. "What is that?"

[Northen Light36]

"I'm Acqua," Acqua replies. "That's Faith, my cat." Acqua goes to move her leg and swears in pain. "Damn it! That's just what I need," she mutters.

[Devon]

"You shouldn't move much on it. Stay right there, I have to go let an Elder know you're here and maybe he can get you some help with your leg." Ryuk hops off his table and heads outside in search of Alexi.

[Deleted]

Alexi was at the fringes of the camp, watching the obstacle course he had designed get built. Occassionally he would yell an order that was quickly followed, if not without some complaining. Ryuk's arrival was a distraction, but not unwelcome. "Hey, it's you. What is it?" the bounty hunter asked, offering a hand to clasp.

[Devon]

Ryuk oddly gives Alexi a high five." Umm I found some girl that was hurt and stuff and she is an outsider so I have to talk to an Elder to check her out and you are an Elder so here we are. Well we aren't there, because she is in my hut, but do you have a moment to spare to see if she can stay a bit?"
