Another day, another walk|Talen'sul

[kevanick]

As Asul walked with his new companion silently, he mused as for what was in store for him. What could possibly happen, now? All I have to do is find my way back with this Gareth guy and hopefully find that witch who tricked me...

He sighed, hopefully unnoticed by Gareth and his lizard.

A young man was pulling a small hand cart behind him, whistling to himself and kicking a stone on the ground in front of him. The song was slow and sad, almost perfectly fitting his current mood. It just so happened that his current mood was his constant mood, always being the cynic of life. The most important in all this was that he wasn't paying attention to where he was going. So he met with Asul in a way most unexpected.

"Oof, bloody Hell. Could you watch where you are going I have a heavy load here?!?"

The cart was covered, but there was a very noticable clanking of metal when the man dropped it. He grumbles to himself, talking about now having to melt and resmelt all of the bars in there from scratch. He knows this isn't true but he needs something to be angry at.

After slowly getting up, Asul turned to the stranger. "Sorry about that. My fault, I should have been paying attention. Let me help you." Asul went to help the stranger with his fallen cart.

This guy apologized to him? That was a new one, it caught Faren off guard for a moment. After a cough though he was easily able to resume his scowl. He brushed himself off and stood again, finding his trademark backwards lean.

"No matter about that, I will get the damndable thing myself. Where are you going that forces you to ram into unwitting smithys on the street?"

If the man was going to take the blame for the accident Faren was more then happy to give it to him in spades. Usually it isn't this easy to be this hateful but for once he was getting open shots. If you throw the balls underhand he is simply obligated to hit them out of the park.

A tad puzzled at his outburst, Asul just shrugged. "We're heading towards a place called Talen'sul I think it's called. Why do you want to know?" He asked in a curious tone.

[adris]

Faren just raised an eyebrow at the response, wondering if the man had been outside the village for a day in his life. Or else he felt that Faren had never left and didn't have any clue where or what Talen'sul was.

"Just curious because nearly snapped vertebrae have that effect on me, wanting to know what the cause was. Is there any particular reason for needing to go that far?"

Even though they were neighbors with the new alliance one could get almost any item they wanted from the wind nation somehwere in Maelstrom. He must be looking for someone rather then something was his conclusion.

[kevanick]

Noticing his rather annoyed expression, Asul decided to explain. "Long story. Short version is that I'm not from Maelstrom and I need the money to get back home and hunting is the only thing I know how to do so thats why we're heading for Talen'sul. And besides... If she is there, it makes the trip worthwhile."

[adris]

Faren grumbled, if he said what he was about to say he would get himself into a lot more drama then he would like. He argued with himself for what had to be a good minute before he came to the conclusion that he would help.

Blast you Saph... had to go and introduce me to that family of yours.

"I thought as much. Blasted affairs of the heart and all that, I should just walk on by. This isn't something I like getting involved in but... If you agree to make a delivery for me I will give you means to travel."

He did promise Lya some new arrows, and perhaps some short swords to supplement melee combat. He still has to make steel and sinew bows for exhibition in her army now that he thought about it. As long as he didn't have to work through that Beesebury again this could work out for him.
