Fall of Soahc

[Toyoll]

A...weed? Tain tried not to seem overly...confused. He shook his antlers inwardly, though, what a sad creature this was. The deer only hoped he didn't actually have some young fawns at home...

"Yes, well, we do quite enjoy living here. Seere may not be as spectacular as some of your foreign cities, but we call it home." The captain turned toward Tarin, "Ah, Tarin, would you kindly escourt our friend to one of the guest houses, if you please. I will send a Guard when I have found a guide." Then Tain bid his farewells and quickly walked away to report to the Elders.

Tarin glanced up at Tain with a little uncertainty, then nodded, taking on a resigned expression. "Um, of course. Right over this way, sir Priest . . ." He led Soahc to one of the empty guest houses, and took a moment to make sure the man could actually maneuver his way around the interior without harming himself or the building.

[Kender Bard]

Soahc strolled inside and seemed determined to inspect everything. "Nice, very nice. Thank you again," he remarked and glanced at Tarin with a smile. "I'll not forget the kindness of Seere when I'm back home."

[hisdivineshadow]

Tarin hesitated, not quite sure how to answer that. Then his look of resignation softened to a gentle smile and he nodded. "Just let us know if you need anything, okay?"

[Kender Bard]

"Aye I will," he responded and sat down on the cot supplied, shifting about until he was gazing out the window at a particularly colorful bluebird, smiling to himself.

((If there's anything that Tain and Tarin need to discuss, go on ahead and do that.))

[Toyoll]

((Alrighty then, I think this calls for a TIME WARP!....to the not too distant future XP))

Later that day, a rather disgruntled looking Guard stomped toward Tarin's home, his companion sitting on his shoulder, looking rather uninterested. He was a two-sign quoll affinity, resembling a blond mongoose with striking, white spots all over his coat. He knocked on the mouse's door with his spear, "Mouse Tarin? Guard Captain Reiken has sent me." the quoll tried hard to keep his voice from sounding angry.

A loud and looooong yawn could be heard from inside followed soon by a soft shuffle. The door opened, but not to Tarin, but rather a tall, sleek woman. A mask of dark brown surrounded her eyes and crossed the bridge of her nose, and that along with a set of small twitching ears marked her as a ferret type beast. She blinked at the guard, lifting a hand to shield her eyes from the glaring sun, and then proceeded to yawn again.

"Oh...sorry, so sorry. Tarin is resting right now. You know, he's been foraging for the town," she said to him, her voice sounding as though this were the most obvious thing in the world to do after being in the sun for so long. "I can take a message though..." she offered, slowly. She knew the reason he was here, at least some of it, but, true to her nature, she felt she needed to give the guard a bit of a hassle before disturbing her mate.

[Toyoll]

The quoll's lip twitched with irritation and his small ears grew less and less visible as they began to flatten against his head. His companion gave him a swift nip with sharp teeth, ~Calm down, idiot, there's nothing to get worked up about!~. So with great effort, he addressed the ferret without barking at her, "A thousand pardons, ma'am, but unfortunately I have a direct order to bring Tarin to our Captain immediately." he sighed, his shoulders visibly sagging, "We are all very tired, lady, trust me, I would much rather be out of this sunlight than running errands--Ouch!" His companion nipped him again, ~Oh, stand straight and behave like a proper Guard, would you?~ She turned to the ferret and dipped her triangular head, ~Sorry about that madam.~

[Deleted]

Varya favored the guards companion with a smiled and nodded. "Yeah, sorry sorry."

With a sighed she returned into the darkness and prodded at her mate. "Hey, you're needed, so it's time to stop sleeping and to wake up."

[hisdivineshadow]

Tarin roused with a start. Sitting up, he blinked slowly and rubbed his hands against bleary eyes. "Huh? Wha's goin' on? Why'm I needed?"

[Deleted]

Varya groaned. "They need you to go to the captain. I bet its because of that guy that you brought in. I'll go with you, so get up."

She stood there, pushing at him with her toe.

[hisdivineshadow]

"Uhh . . . crap." Tarin yawned aloud and absently batted at her foot. "Okay, I'm up. I'm . . . getting up." Wearily he hauled himself to his feet, yawning again as he stretched and straightened his rumpled clothes. "Ugh . . . off to watch the crazy, I guess?"

[Deleted]

"Maybe," she gave a little shrug. "Lets go."

With that, she grabbed his arm and dragged him from their dwelling, pulling him to where the Captain would likely be at. Perhaps on the way, they would run into said Crazy.

[Kender Bard]

Soahc didn't stay in his quarters long. He was soon out of the home and wandering about it a little, examining the plant life and nature, waving to random people and offering to give an impromptu sermon if someone really, really wanted him to.

He spotted Tarin and waved energetically.

[Toyoll]

Tain was waiting with his companion at the communal area, patiently running his fingers through the stag's greying fur. The quoll was here too, his own animal friend sitting at his feet. His mood has improved, but it was obvious he'd rather be elsewhere.

The young Guard spotted the tall ferret Varya, then Tarin and he waved them down, "Over here, please." He haden't seen their unbalanced guest yet.
