Tragic|Sensatia

[Devon]

Ryder hung his head for a moment and looked at the healer. "Thats terrible, have you told his parent's yet?" Ryder hadn't noticed the little boy's sign when he had first helped him, if he had he might have been able to help. "I am glad he will be fine otherwise though, you did a great job at healing him."

[Kender Bard]

The healer bowed her head a little. "I'm just about to," she murmured. Thank you for all you've done. She turned to the grim task of informing the family of the tragedy.

((Let's skip to a few days later, so the kid can run into him again.))

[Devon]

((Okay))

Ryder left the inn he was staying while in Sensatia to run a couple of errands he had. Since Silvanus' accident he hadn't been by the healer's place again to check on the boy's status.

[Kender Bard]

Silvanus, while sitting on the front step to his home, perked up a little as he caught sight of Ryder. There weren't any other winged-Minds that he was aware of, and he figured this must be his savior. "Hey!" He called out, leaning against the door of his home as he struggled to stand up while favoring his hurt leg. "You! Er... Ryder was it?"

[Devon]

Ryder looked up as he was called out and then made his way over to Silvanus. He winced inwardly when he noticed the boy still favored his leg, but otherwise he smiled. "Yes, I'm Ryder. How are you doing?"

[Kender Bard]

"I've been better," he sighed, but offered up a brave smile. "I wanted to thank you for saving me. If you hadn't been there, that dog might have eaten me!"

[Devon]

"I don't think he would have eaten you, but you're welcome all the same," Ryder replied. "Are you parent's okay, I know it must have been quite a shock for them as well."

[Kender Bard]

"They're sad," Silvanus sighed and rubbed his thigh idly. "I lost my sign," he murmured. "I don't know, the healer made it sound like it would be okay but they keep acting like I died or something."

[Devon]

Ryder walked over and sat down on the steps with Silvanus. "Thats unfortunate that they're acting that way. It is possible after all that through some Force interference you could regain your sign." He bit his lip as he said that, he didn't want to give the boy hope that had a small chance of being fulfilled.

[Kender Bard]

"Really?" Silvanus asked, eyes lighting up a little. "How do I do that? Which force?" It was obvious Ryder had caught the child's interest.

[Devon]

"Uh, well I worship Thuoth myself," he replied. Turning to face Silvanus he tried to clear up any misunderstandings. "While the Forces have been known to bless people with signs or restore them, it isn't something you can always bet on happening Silvanus. It could happen that a Force blesses you by restoring your sign, but at the same time there is a chance it won't happen either."

[Kender Bard]

"O-oh," Silvanus murmured, some of the hope bleeding from his eyes. "I... well... what are the odds?"

[Devon]

"Thats heard to tell, it is really up to the Forces and as mortals we can't really tell," Ryder replied. "But I think you have a good chance, Thuoth blessed me with a Mind sign even though I was born a Wind."

[Kender Bard]

Silvanus looked at Ryder in interest at this revelation. "What did you do to get his attention?"

[Devon]

Ryder rubbed the back of his head and grinned sheepishly. "Well I'm not too sure what I did. When I was a child I was orphaned and found by a Mind from the community in Talen'sul. I was raised there and studied hard, even though I had no Mind sign to work with. I guess Thuoth rewarded me for my hard work."
