Maria sends her to an orphanage, but the group is left with the realization that sometimes there are 'complications' when enemies are killed, in the form of an 8 year old child left behind.

Tesarik One: Maria had been gone about two days at this point, she'd left
two nights ago with word to Hana that there was a 'complication' with the
mission she sent the group on several nights ago to Zyon to find the missing
prospectors and
Tesarik One: figure out what the issue was with all the wailing coming from
the hills where all the gold and silver was being found in the myriad of
rivers and streams. While there, the group had been attacked by two
half-orcs, and the team
Tesarik One: ended up killing them both and taking everything they owned
that was on them. All you all know is what Hana told you when she finally
decided Maria had been gone too long - she left two nights ago to go to
Swerdscree because of a
Tesarik One: complication.
Raufak Agnarsson: Raufak was on his regular day off! He'd got special
permission to go help on a mission since he'd done well with his training,
but today he was just there to be off, hurray. He was at the inne havin a
drink, as he usually was during
Raufak Agnarsson: his downtime. He was also sticking around this particular
drinking establishment since he wanted to see if there was any news from
Maria, as he'd heard she went off due to that complication!

usual spot, lapping away at some elderberry wine, dawned in her full amour
and weapons and shield all in their proper places, her ears flickered atop
her head as she took in
Tesarik Five: Warren had been spending a bit more time there at the inn it
seemed as of late, though he always went home to his little tree house, and
made sure to spend time with his animal friends. Never the less he was there
today, and hearing
Tales0fBeauty: all the sounds around her and that muzzle would twitch
slightly as she took in the scents, icy blues hes drawn to the door whenever
someone came in The orc given a nuzzle upon being seen by the white wolf
before she would retrun to
SwordOfAtrophy: (eye test)
Tales0fBeauty: her seat and contemplate ordering some food, and she was also
here to find out what "complications" there were in the mission she had been
on. (D)
Tales0fBeauty: (i can see you)
Tesarik Five: about his new favorite big person may be in trouble, well that
just wouldn't do now would it? Nope! Not at all. He huffed just a little
before he stood up from his seat on the bar and wiggled all about to get his
muscles and body
RageofNocturne: :: The black wolf stepped inside and looked around as he
followed Aurora and stopped beside her and looked to her then to Ellis--
Evening.-D-
Tesarik Five: good and ready. Once satisfied he wasn't going to pull
something after sitting down for so long, hands on his hips, he puffed out
his chest just a little. "No one does bad things to my friends!" Not that it
was a given, but with how
Tesarik Five: Hana said everything it seemed Maria was in trouble, so he was
more than ready to go. -d-
Tesarik One: Depending on whether Ellis had told anyone or not, he'd
actually seen that Maria wasn't in trouble. (I'm assuming Ellis at least told
Hana what he found out?)
Tesarik One: Hana was just concerned since she had not come home yet!
OnlineHost: Kokun Hinotama has entered the room.
SwordOfAtrophy: Tired boy was tired, though not so much as he had been.
Having discovered what the deal was, he was able to fight it more, and get
energy back. He was there, checking over all his armaments, making sure
everyhing was ready to go.
SwordOfAtrophy: "Calm down, Warren. As far as we can tell she's fine, she's
just not here." He'd told who needed to know, Hana being the first and
foremost.
Raufak Agnarsson: He better have told Dorian if he told who needed to know!
Either that or Dorian already knew, bwaha.
SwordOfAtrophy: If he saw him, he would have. Man only showed up when he
felt like it.
Tesarik One: (Everyone here that wants to be here for this little short rp?)
Tales0fBeauty: (think so)
Tesarik Five: Well Warren sure didn't know. So now that he knew he calmed
down some, letting out a long sigh as he slumped over just a touch after
holding his rigid 'I'm a big scarey fairy!' pose for a bit longer than he
should of. "Oh...Well....
Tesarik One: Sooooo, it seemed Maria being gone had been brough to their
attention. Maybe it was because for a whole day there was no yummy food being
cooked! Just leftovers Hana was heating up. But, their boss was just fine,
she'd just been
Tesarik One: tied up in some issues resulting from the mission they'd gone
on. In fact, she was soon to enter the door of the inne having walked from
the Port Union office after arriving back in Navahla. She was not alone. She
held the door open
Tesarik Five: Ummm." Now he just didn't know what to say. Head turning this
way and that, looking around at the others that he'd seen before, wondering
what was really going on.
Tesarik One: and in walked a very large wolf, a dire wolf in fact (that
anyone who had engaged Ingrud in combat would recognize) and a young girl.
Her age was a bit difficult to place since she was most apparently half-orc,
but it did seem she
Tesarik One: had some elven qualities about her as well, so she was a fairly
pretty blonde haired hazel eyed half-orc girl. She clutched a straw doll in
her hands, and had a pack on her back, Maria had a larger pack. She closed
the door and
Tesarik One: patted the girl on her head, "Salle, go ahead and sit there.
These are all friends." Salle ran to a stool and hopped on it, while the wolf
followed and sat nearby the girl. Maria glanced around, frowning a bit.
"Yeah, so...."
Raufak Agnarsson: He blinked when that big ol wolf came in with Maria and
..didn't have his weapon on him so he didn't draw it! He did tense visibly
though. He hadn't been attacked by the wolf himself, but he did recognize it.
The little girl was
Raufak Agnarsson: eyed next, and he blinked, then looked to Maria, then back
to the wolf, and the girl, and..well Raufak wasn't an idiot. "Aw fu...uh..."
He took another drink rather than say any more.
Tesarik One: Ellis and Stormy had engaged Ingrud up close so they'd both be
able to see that the little girl resembled her mother...Ingrud.
Tales0fBeauty: Seeing the dire wolf the white wolf barred her teeth as soon
as she recognized the creature from the fight they had had, it was the wolf
that got away heavy paded paw would find its way to the hilt of her sword and
she ears went
Tesarik Five: Oh! And there she was! But of course Warren first noticed the
Dire Wolf. His eyes went wide, it wasn't an animal he'd seen very often, and
that had him rather excited. A blur of fairy went zooming right past anyone
in his way before
SwordOfAtrophy: His face fell, and he exhaled, closing his eyes as he was
suddenly so very, very tired all over. He didn't have any words that would
help. "Fu... doesn't even come close to it, Rauf."
Tales0fBeauty: flat on her head, then seeing the little girl she caught the
familial scent, a wolfs nose knows! and she didnt take her hand from the hilt
of her sword but she did try to appear less threating though one false move
from that dire
Tales0fBeauty: wolf and that might be a differnt story on her part. (D)
Tesarik Five: he came to a sudden stop right in front of the wolf. A hand
waving at it rapidly as he smiled from ear to ear. "Hello puppy!" Oh! And a
little girl too! "Hello little girl!" That wave didn't even stop, it just
sort of rotated with
Tesarik One: "It seems that a day or two after our little mission, when the
prospectors got back to their tent town, they found this girl and her wolf
sitting in one of the tents. She told them in quite good common that her
momma and daddy had
Raufak Agnarsson: He in fact drank the very last of the tankard of ale in
one fell swoop, and he'd barely started on it in the first place. He slid it
a bit more towards Hana and nodded to it, indicating he wanted a bit more,
then looked to Maria to
Raufak Agnarsson: listen.
Tesarik Five: his body as he turned toward her. Then Maria was noticed, or
more re-noticed. "Ohohoh! Hello!"
Tesarik One: never come back to their home, only Ronka, her mother's wolf,
had come home. So she went to find them and came here to see if anyone would
help." A brow lifted and she nodded to Hana, who got something for the girl
to eat and drink.
Tesarik One: "I went with Salle back to where she lived, and helped her pack
up what we could, and headed back to Swerdscree. Took me a bit, that's what
happens when you can't teleport here and there." She grinned but that smile
faded quickly.
Tesarik One: "Her parent's names were Ghank and Ingrud."
Tesarik One: "I'm assuming you all understand what I'm saying," she added.
Raufak Agnarsson: He frowned, and well..switched to a language that he was
pretty sure an 8 year old half orc girl wouldn't know, but he was reasonably
certain Maria would! Let's go with Arachnian. "Does she know what happened to
her parents, or does
Raufak Agnarsson: she just know that they didn't come home?"
Tales0fBeauty: Hearing ellis' words and seeing his reaction the wolf took a
much differnt stance at hearing maria's words no longer filled with the rage
of that battle the lawful good paladins' heart felt like a sharp knife had
gone through it and
SwordOfAtrophy: "Unfortunately...." But invention failed him, and he just
sat down, staring heavy hearted at the floor.
Tesarik One: The little girl knew Orcish, Common and some Elvish so that was
fine! She nodded, and replied in Arachnian to Rauf, "I told her that her
parents were killed."
Raufak Agnarsson: "Alright. I'll be back in a minute." On up the stairs he
went! (brb)
Tales0fBeauty: was being twisted all around and she even whimpered slightly,
ears still flat on her head but for another reason, hand no longer at the
hilt of her sword, her own eyes were staring down at the floor, she felt like
a dog being
Tesarik One: The dire wolf would bear his teeth when the fairy got so close.
He had been Ingrud's ranger's companion but he certainly was not tame, though
he was committed to the little girl. But not friendly!
Tesarik One: Growlllllll! As a warning to the fey!
Tales0fBeauty: threated to be hit with a newspaper. When maria asked if
they all understood what she was saying she looked up long enough to make eye
contact with her and if she looked into those icy hues she would catch the
overwhemlming sadness
Tales0fBeauty: in them and then a nod to affirm she had understood and then
those icy blues went right back to the staring at the floor. (D)
Tesarik Five: Warren was lost, everyone was talking about things he had no
idea about, but there was a big puppy and little girl there! So that made it
better. Even if the wolf was a big meany! With the teeth and growling Warren
would give a bit
Tesarik Five: of a huff before he stuck out his tongue. "No treats for you!"
Hmph! Well, that left the girl. Maybe she'd be more friendly. Young ones like
sweets, so reaching into a pouch at his side, wiggling his fingers around, he
searched for
RageofNocturne: brb+)
Tesarik One: She spoke in common again and walked over to sit by Salle,
giving her a smile before looking out to the group. "I have some contacts at
one of the better orphanages in town, and have already sent word for them to
expect her. Someone
Tesarik Five: juuuuuuust the right one. Then pulling out a honey chip he
beemed a smile her way and unshrank it, making it roughly the size of a
potato chip, but made of pure honey. Holding onto it with both hands, wings
fluttering like crazy to
Tesarik Five: keep him properly balanaced, he offered it to the girl. "Want
some?"
Tesarik One: is on their way here now. It'll be nice there Salle, you'll
make lots of friends. But, everyone here knows that it's hard when you lose
those you love and they will always be with you watching over you. Plus
you've got Ronka."
Tesarik One: Salle took the sweet and put it in her mouth, and stared at the
fairy. As of yet, there was no smile from the little half-orc. She'd just
lost both her parents and been uprooted from her home though, so it would
take a little while.
Tesarik Five: Blinkblink. Orphanage? He looked around a bit more. Why were
they in need of an orphanage? It took his overactive mind just a few seconds
longer than it should of to work out that it was for the girl there. Hearing
that he frowned,
Raufak Agnarsson: He came on back down the stairs after a moment with his
pack over his shoulder, though those who knew him knew he wasn't intending to
leave just yet, since he didn't have his weapon or his armor on! He moved on
over towards Salle,
Raufak Agnarsson: assuming, the wolf didn't go attacking him for getting too
close, then set the pack down on the bar and started to rummage through it a
bit, looking for something. "Hello..Salle, was it? My name is Raufak."
Tesarik Five: for just a split second before he moved to land on top of the
bar again. Plopping back down on his rear he started to think a bit. He
really didn't need to know the truth, as it didn't matter, but no knowing
sent him into this
Tesarik Five: whirlwing of an overactive imagination on all the different
ways the current events could have unfolded. Some funny making him giggle a
bit to himself, others sad, leaving him with a frown, and some just out right
weird all together
Tesarik One: "Hi. You look kinda like my daddy." She stared up at Raufak,
feeling a bit more at ease with him since he was half-orc too! Maria rose and
headed into the kitchen.
OnlineHost: Allegro Luna has left the room.
OnlineHost: Allegro Luna has entered the room.
Tales0fBeauty: She would look to the child and she whimpered softly those
ears still flat on her head tail not even moving then she looked down at her
heavy paded paws focusing on her unextended claws wondering how she would
ever live with what
Raufak Agnarsson: He smiled a little at that and nodded. "Yeah? You look
like a little girl I used to know when I was about your size." He sighed
after a moment, then pulled a ring from his pack and a leather cord. He
threaded the cord through the
SwordOfAtrophy: Ellis stood up, and walked over to the window, staring
outside into the night. Words swimming in his head but unable to speak them.
Tales0fBeauty: she had done and well life was about making amends, so she
would go to the girl and would from in her hands a rose made out of ice, and
then with a few words her hand was waved over the rose made of ice and it was
enchanted so it
Raufak Agnarsson: ring, eyed her a bit, then adjusted it before tying it off
and offering it over to her. "Think that'll fit around your head so you can
wear it around your neck?"
Tales0fBeauty: would remain the way it was forever, and she would offer the
rose to the little girl and she would get down on the little girls level "I
am sorry for your loss, remember they will live here" she pointed to her own
heart in refence
RageofNocturne: :: He watched the others with the half orc child and sighed
watching Aurora with her and set his paw on the counter watching the pair-D-
Tales0fBeauty: to the little girls parents and her heart not wanting to
freak the child out by touching her. and then she would look to her with
those icy blues of hers "And you will keep them alive with your memories,
think on the good things,
Tales0fBeauty: and that will carry you through most anything...." it was all
the wolf had to offer was a lifetime of wisdom and suffering and heartache of
her own. (D)
Tesarik One: She nodded and put it around his neck, "Thank you. Did you know
my mommy and daddy?" She eyed the ring, and then blinked and stared up at
him, "It looks like the ring my daddy Ghank wore. Where did you get it?" She
glanced to the
Tesarik One: wolf, and the dire wolf's fur would rise on end and he stood
up, growling as the other wolf approached, though he did not attack he did
step in front. After all, the wolf had seen this woman kill his mistress. He
would not let
Tesarik One: Stormy get close and was insistent that she back off. This made
Salle stare across at Stormy with fear in her eyes, always trusting in Ronka
to protect her. She shook her head, not wanting what she had, and looked back
to Raufak.
Raufak Agnarsson: "I...sorta." He frowned again. "Not sure how to say this,
so I'll just come right out with it. I'm the one that killed your daddy." He
pulled the silver armband out of his pack next, and set it on the counter
next to her. "This and
Raufak Agnarsson: that ring were his...and I'm sorry that what I did left
you on your own." He wasn't going to make the justification that they'd
attacked first! "Sorry to be so direct about it as well, but...I know if I
was in your position, I'd
Raufak Agnarsson: rather know for certain than wonder about it my whole
life."
Tesarik One: She reached out and took the armband, tears filling her eyes,
as she held it close. She stared at Raufak with tears running down her
cheeks, "Why did you kill my daddy? Did you kill my mommy too?" She ran
fingertips along the
Tales0fBeauty: The wolf would sigh and she barred her teeth to the dire wolf
but backed off only far enough to make him stop acting threatning she would
look to raufak and she heard his words and he had a point she looked to the
child hearing her
Tesarik One: silver armband, she could not read what it said inside but she
knew it said something from her mom. "Can I have mommy's too? So I can think
of them both?"
Raufak Agnarsson: "I didn't kill your mommy, I don't have hers. I ..was
defending myself and my friends. He attacked us." She had asked! And that was
the why. "Do you know what that says?"
Tesarik One: (Five minutes or so before quest starts folks)
Tales0fBeauty: questions of him "I am the one that killed your mother" and
she would pull from her own pack the items she had gotten that were the
mothers it was the silver armband and she handed it to raufak to give to the
child since the child
Raufak Agnarsson: He took the armband with a nod to Stormy and handed it
over to the child as well, then closed up his pack.
RageofNocturne: :: He growled a bit towards the direwolf for but a mere
moment then backed off and sighed and stepped up to Aurora and pat her back
gently then looked to the young girl.-- If it makes you feel any better your
mother did get me prett
Tales0fBeauty: really had no reason to trust the wolf now. The rose she had
fashioned shattered in her paw as she walked away, and dissappered, as if it
was never made.
RageofNocturne: y good with an arrow in the back when she attacked.-D-
Tesarik One: "So he died fighting? He always said he wanted to die fighting,
and that he never wanted to die of being old." She smiled a bit, and then
wiped at her face, sighing. "No. I can't read." She turned and stared at
Stormy when she
Tales0fBeauty: She would nuzzle into john and sought solace and comfort from
her mate.
OnlineHost: Mighty Gar thog has entered the room.
RageofNocturne: :: He licked her muzzle and wrapped those arms around her
holding her close as he let out a long drawn out whine to her-D-
OnlineHost: Faye Lang Tenma has entered the room.
Tesarik One: admitting killing her mother, and then glanced around the room
at everyone, and everything before moving back to Raufak when he gave her the
band from her mother. "My mother was a really good uh..bow-er."
Raufak Agnarsson: "He died fighting, and he fought well at that. I just got
lucky, is all. The one your daddy wore says 'Forever Love, Ingrud.'" He took
a look at the other one before handing it over and smiled a little. "The one
your mommy wore says
Raufak Agnarsson: 'You mine, Ghank.'" Oh and he read both of the
inscriptions to her in orcish, since that's what they were written in!
Tales0fBeauty: She would whine and whimper hearing his own whimper and just
let him hold her.
Tesarik One: She smiled a bit, hearing that, and spoke in Orcish to Raufak,
"Daddy didn't talk as pretty as mommy. She hated elves but said they at least
taught her how to talk nice. She even taught me a few words in elf-talk."
Raufak Agnarsson: In fact, he switched to orcish if she seemed to understand
those! Well then she spoke in orcish anyway. He nodded a little. "Well, we
don't all talk pretty, there's nothin wrong with that. I uh..I know you've
got no reason to want
Raufak Agnarsson: me around you at all, and plenty of reasons to wanna fight
me, but if you want, I can teach you where she left off sometime. I can teach
you how to read too. Maybe even how to fight, though I can't teach ya to be a
good bow-er." He
Raufak Agnarsson: gave her shoulder a little squeeze and a pat. "But if you
ever wanna find me, I'm usually around here somewhere if I'm not waaaay up
north."
Tesarik Five: Warren was lost, by miles. So he just watched everyone with a
tilt of his head, his body practicaly vibrating with anticipation, of what?
He didn't know. But everything just seemed.....Off. Like that wolf was going
to try and eat
Tesarik Five: him or something.
Tesarik One: A lady entered the inne, just as Maria walked back out with a
box of all sorts of foodstuffs. She smiled at the lady from the orphanage,
"Here we are, Liz. This is Salle, and here's some extra food. Salle, this is
Miss Liz and she's
Tesarik One: going to take care of you and Ronka. I'll come check on you
tomorrow, maybe Raufak can as well." Salle nodded to Raufak, eyes sparkling
just a little before that light went out again. "I would like it. I know how
to fight a little.
Raufak Agnarsson: He glanced over to Liz when she came in, then looked back
to Salle and spoke quietly in orcish to her. "Don't cause that lady too much
trouble, unless she has it comin, alright? I'll probably come with Maria to
check on you, if
Raufak Agnarsson: you'd like. I'll be in town a couple more days yet."
Tesarik One: Hi." She looked over to Liz with the hi and then slid off her
chair, and reached out for the dire wolf, putting an arm around his neck. Liz
took the box and led them out into the night, talking to her in cheerful
tones. The door
Tesarik One: shut behind them.
SwordOfAtrophy: "When you come back, you'll have the finest blade I can put
my hammer to. That I can promise you." It was all he could do, all things
considered.
Tesarik One: Her eyes got wide as she looked over at Ellis before the lady
Liz took them out.
Tesarik One: Log Off

Tesarik One: Ellis and Stormy had engaged Ingrud up close so they'd both be
able to see that the little girl resembled her mother...Ingrud.
Tales0fBeauty: Seeing the dire wolf the white wolf barred her teeth as soon
as she recognized the creature from the fight they had had, it was the wolf
that got away heavy paded paw would find its way to the hilt of her sword and
she ears went
Tesarik Five: Oh! And there she was! But of course Warren first noticed the
Dire Wolf. His eyes went wide, it wasn't an animal he'd seen very often, and
that had him rather excited. A blur of fairy went zooming right past anyone
in his way before
SwordOfAtrophy: His face fell, and he exhaled, closing his eyes as he was
suddenly so very, very tired all over. He didn't have any words that would
help. "Fu... doesn't even come close to it, Rauf."
Tales0fBeauty: flat on her head, then seeing the little girl she caught the
familial scent, a wolfs nose knows! and she didnt take her hand from the hilt
of her sword but she did try to appear less threating though one false move
from that dire
Tales0fBeauty: wolf and that might be a differnt story on her part. (D)
Tesarik Five: he came to a sudden stop right in front of the wolf. A hand
waving at it rapidly as he smiled from ear to ear. "Hello puppy!" Oh! And a
little girl too! "Hello little girl!" That wave didn't even stop, it just
sort of rotated with
Tesarik One: "It seems that a day or two after our little mission, when the
prospectors got back to their tent town, they found this girl and her wolf
sitting in one of the tents. She told them in quite good common that her
momma and daddy had
Raufak Agnarsson: He in fact drank the very last of the tankard of ale in
one fell swoop, and he'd barely started on it in the first place. He slid it
a bit more towards Hana and nodded to it, indicating he wanted a bit more,
then looked to Maria to
Raufak Agnarsson: listen.
Tesarik Five: his body as he turned toward her. Then Maria was noticed, or
more re-noticed. "Ohohoh! Hello!"
Tesarik One: never come back to their home, only Ronka, her mother's wolf,
had come home. So she went to find them and came here to see if anyone would
help." A brow lifted and she nodded to Hana, who got something for the girl
to eat and drink.
Tesarik One: "I went with Salle back to where she lived, and helped her pack
up what we could, and headed back to Swerdscree. Took me a bit, that's what
happens when you can't teleport here and there." She grinned but that smile
faded quickly.
Tesarik One: "Her parent's names were Ghank and Ingrud."
Tesarik One: "I'm assuming you all understand what I'm saying," she added.
Raufak Agnarsson: He frowned, and well..switched to a language that he was
pretty sure an 8 year old half orc girl wouldn't know, but he was reasonably
certain Maria would! Let's go with Arachnian. "Does she know what happened to
her parents, or does
Raufak Agnarsson: she just know that they didn't come home?"
Tales0fBeauty: Hearing ellis' words and seeing his reaction the wolf took a
much differnt stance at hearing maria's words no longer filled with the rage
of that battle the lawful good paladins' heart felt like a sharp knife had
gone through it and
SwordOfAtrophy: "Unfortunately...." But invention failed him, and he just
sat down, staring heavy hearted at the floor.
Tesarik One: The little girl knew Orcish, Common and some Elvish so that was
fine! She nodded, and replied in Arachnian to Rauf, "I told her that her
parents were killed."
Raufak Agnarsson: "Alright. I'll be back in a minute." On up the stairs he
went! (brb)
Tales0fBeauty: was being twisted all around and she even whimpered slightly,
ears still flat on her head but for another reason, hand no longer at the
hilt of her sword, her own eyes were staring down at the floor, she felt like
a dog being
Tesarik One: The dire wolf would bear his teeth when the fairy got so close.
He had been Ingrud's ranger's companion but he certainly was not tame, though
he was committed to the little girl. But not friendly!
Tesarik One: Growlllllll! As a warning to the fey!
Tales0fBeauty: threated to be hit with a newspaper. When maria asked if
they all understood what she was saying she looked up long enough to make eye
contact with her and if she looked into those icy hues she would catch the
overwhemlming sadness
Tales0fBeauty: in them and then a nod to affirm she had understood and then
those icy blues went right back to the staring at the floor. (D)
Tesarik Five: Warren was lost, everyone was talking about things he had no
idea about, but there was a big puppy and little girl there! So that made it
better. Even if the wolf was a big meany! With the teeth and growling Warren
would give a bit
Tesarik Five: of a huff before he stuck out his tongue. "No treats for you!"
Hmph! Well, that left the girl. Maybe she'd be more friendly. Young ones like
sweets, so reaching into a pouch at his side, wiggling his fingers around, he
searched for
RageofNocturne: brb+)
Tesarik One: She spoke in common again and walked over to sit by Salle,
giving her a smile before looking out to the group. "I have some contacts at
one of the better orphanages in town, and have already sent word for them to
expect her. Someone
Tesarik Five: juuuuuuust the right one. Then pulling out a honey chip he
beemed a smile her way and unshrank it, making it roughly the size of a
potato chip, but made of pure honey. Holding onto it with both hands, wings
fluttering like crazy to
Tesarik Five: keep him properly balanaced, he offered it to the girl. "Want
some?"
Tesarik One: is on their way here now. It'll be nice there Salle, you'll
make lots of friends. But, everyone here knows that it's hard when you lose
those you love and they will always be with you watching over you. Plus
you've got Ronka."
Tesarik One: Salle took the sweet and put it in her mouth, and stared at the
fairy. As of yet, there was no smile from the little half-orc. She'd just
lost both her parents and been uprooted from her home though, so it would
take a little while.
Tesarik Five: Blinkblink. Orphanage? He looked around a bit more. Why were
they in need of an orphanage? It took his overactive mind just a few seconds
longer than it should of to work out that it was for the girl there. Hearing
that he frowned,
Raufak Agnarsson: He came on back down the stairs after a moment with his
pack over his shoulder, though those who knew him knew he wasn't intending to
leave just yet, since he didn't have his weapon or his armor on! He moved on
over towards Salle,
Raufak Agnarsson: assuming, the wolf didn't go attacking him for getting too
close, then set the pack down on the bar and started to rummage through it a
bit, looking for something. "Hello..Salle, was it? My name is Raufak."
Tesarik Five: for just a split second before he moved to land on top of the
bar again. Plopping back down on his rear he started to think a bit. He
really didn't need to know the truth, as it didn't matter, but no knowing
sent him into this
Tesarik Five: whirlwing of an overactive imagination on all the different
ways the current events could have unfolded. Some funny making him giggle a
bit to himself, others sad, leaving him with a frown, and some just out right
weird all together
Tesarik One: "Hi. You look kinda like my daddy." She stared up at Raufak,
feeling a bit more at ease with him since he was half-orc too! Maria rose and
headed into the kitchen.
OnlineHost: Allegro Luna has left the room.
OnlineHost: Allegro Luna has entered the room.
Tales0fBeauty: She would look to the child and she whimpered softly those
ears still flat on her head tail not even moving then she looked down at her
heavy paded paws focusing on her unextended claws wondering how she would
ever live with what
Raufak Agnarsson: He smiled a little at that and nodded. "Yeah? You look
like a little girl I used to know when I was about your size." He sighed
after a moment, then pulled a ring from his pack and a leather cord. He
threaded the cord through the
SwordOfAtrophy: Ellis stood up, and walked over to the window, staring
outside into the night. Words swimming in his head but unable to speak them.
Tales0fBeauty: she had done and well life was about making amends, so she
would go to the girl and would from in her hands a rose made out of ice, and
then with a few words her hand was waved over the rose made of ice and it was
enchanted so it
Raufak Agnarsson: ring, eyed her a bit, then adjusted it before tying it off
and offering it over to her. "Think that'll fit around your head so you can
wear it around your neck?"
Tales0fBeauty: would remain the way it was forever, and she would offer the
rose to the little girl and she would get down on the little girls level "I
am sorry for your loss, remember they will live here" she pointed to her own
heart in refence
RageofNocturne: :: He watched the others with the half orc child and sighed
watching Aurora with her and set his paw on the counter watching the pair-D-
Tales0fBeauty: to the little girls parents and her heart not wanting to
freak the child out by touching her. and then she would look to her with
those icy blues of hers "And you will keep them alive with your memories,
think on the good things,
Tales0fBeauty: and that will carry you through most anything...." it was all
the wolf had to offer was a lifetime of wisdom and suffering and heartache of
her own. (D)
Tesarik One: She nodded and put it around his neck, "Thank you. Did you know
my mommy and daddy?" She eyed the ring, and then blinked and stared up at
him, "It looks like the ring my daddy Ghank wore. Where did you get it?" She
glanced to the
Tesarik One: wolf, and the dire wolf's fur would rise on end and he stood
up, growling as the other wolf approached, though he did not attack he did
step in front. After all, the wolf had seen this woman kill his mistress. He
would not let
Tesarik One: Stormy get close and was insistent that she back off. This made
Salle stare across at Stormy with fear in her eyes, always trusting in Ronka
to protect her. She shook her head, not wanting what she had, and looked back
to Raufak.
Raufak Agnarsson: "I...sorta." He frowned again. "Not sure how to say this,
so I'll just come right out with it. I'm the one that killed your daddy." He
pulled the silver armband out of his pack next, and set it on the counter
next to her. "This and
Raufak Agnarsson: that ring were his...and I'm sorry that what I did left
you on your own." He wasn't going to make the justification that they'd
attacked first! "Sorry to be so direct about it as well, but...I know if I
was in your position, I'd
Raufak Agnarsson: rather know for certain than wonder about it my whole
life."
Tesarik One: She reached out and took the armband, tears filling her eyes,
as she held it close. She stared at Raufak with tears running down her
cheeks, "Why did you kill my daddy? Did you kill my mommy too?" She ran
fingertips along the
Tales0fBeauty: The wolf would sigh and she barred her teeth to the dire wolf
but backed off only far enough to make him stop acting threatning she would
look to raufak and she heard his words and he had a point she looked to the
child hearing her
Tesarik One: silver armband, she could not read what it said inside but she
knew it said something from her mom. "Can I have mommy's too? So I can think
of them both?"
Raufak Agnarsson: "I didn't kill your mommy, I don't have hers. I ..was
defending myself and my friends. He attacked us." She had asked! And that was
the why. "Do you know what that says?"
Tesarik One: (Five minutes or so before quest starts folks)
Tales0fBeauty: questions of him "I am the one that killed your mother" and
she would pull from her own pack the items she had gotten that were the
mothers it was the silver armband and she handed it to raufak to give to the
child since the child
Raufak Agnarsson: He took the armband with a nod to Stormy and handed it
over to the child as well, then closed up his pack.
RageofNocturne: :: He growled a bit towards the direwolf for but a mere
moment then backed off and sighed and stepped up to Aurora and pat her back
gently then looked to the young girl.-- If it makes you feel any better your
mother did get me prett
Tales0fBeauty: really had no reason to trust the wolf now. The rose she had
fashioned shattered in her paw as she walked away, and dissappered, as if it
was never made.
RageofNocturne: y good with an arrow in the back when she attacked.-D-
Tesarik One: "So he died fighting? He always said he wanted to die fighting,
and that he never wanted to die of being old." She smiled a bit, and then
wiped at her face, sighing. "No. I can't read." She turned and stared at
Stormy when she
Tales0fBeauty: She would nuzzle into john and sought solace and comfort from
her mate.
OnlineHost: Mighty Gar thog has entered the room.
RageofNocturne: :: He licked her muzzle and wrapped those arms around her
holding her close as he let out a long drawn out whine to her-D-
OnlineHost: Faye Lang Tenma has entered the room.
Tesarik One: admitting killing her mother, and then glanced around the room
at everyone, and everything before moving back to Raufak when he gave her the
band from her mother. "My mother was a really good uh..bow-er."
Raufak Agnarsson: "He died fighting, and he fought well at that. I just got
lucky, is all. The one your daddy wore says 'Forever Love, Ingrud.'" He took
a look at the other one before handing it over and smiled a little. "The one
your mommy wore says
Raufak Agnarsson: 'You mine, Ghank.'" Oh and he read both of the
inscriptions to her in orcish, since that's what they were written in!
Tales0fBeauty: She would whine and whimper hearing his own whimper and just
let him hold her.
Tesarik One: She smiled a bit, hearing that, and spoke in Orcish to Raufak,
"Daddy didn't talk as pretty as mommy. She hated elves but said they at least
taught her how to talk nice. She even taught me a few words in elf-talk."
Raufak Agnarsson: In fact, he switched to orcish if she seemed to understand
those! Well then she spoke in orcish anyway. He nodded a little. "Well, we
don't all talk pretty, there's nothin wrong with that. I uh..I know you've
got no reason to want
Raufak Agnarsson: me around you at all, and plenty of reasons to wanna fight
me, but if you want, I can teach you where she left off sometime. I can teach
you how to read too. Maybe even how to fight, though I can't teach ya to be a
good bow-er." He
Raufak Agnarsson: gave her shoulder a little squeeze and a pat. "But if you
ever wanna find me, I'm usually around here somewhere if I'm not waaaay up
north."
Tesarik Five: Warren was lost, by miles. So he just watched everyone with a
tilt of his head, his body practicaly vibrating with anticipation, of what?
He didn't know. But everything just seemed.....Off. Like that wolf was going
to try and eat
Tesarik Five: him or something.
Tesarik One: A lady entered the inne, just as Maria walked back out with a
box of all sorts of foodstuffs. She smiled at the lady from the orphanage,
"Here we are, Liz. This is Salle, and here's some extra food. Salle, this is
Miss Liz and she's
Tesarik One: going to take care of you and Ronka. I'll come check on you
tomorrow, maybe Raufak can as well." Salle nodded to Raufak, eyes sparkling
just a little before that light went out again. "I would like it. I know how
to fight a little.
Raufak Agnarsson: He glanced over to Liz when she came in, then looked back
to Salle and spoke quietly in orcish to her. "Don't cause that lady too much
trouble, unless she has it comin, alright? I'll probably come with Maria to
check on you, if
Raufak Agnarsson: you'd like. I'll be in town a couple more days yet."
Tesarik One: Hi." She looked over to Liz with the hi and then slid off her
chair, and reached out for the dire wolf, putting an arm around his neck. Liz
took the box and led them out into the night, talking to her in cheerful
tones. The door
Tesarik One: shut behind them.
SwordOfAtrophy: "When you come back, you'll have the finest blade I can put
my hammer to. That I can promise you." It was all he could do, all things
considered.
Tesarik One: Her eyes got wide as she looked over at Ellis before the lady
Liz took them out.
Tesarik One: Log Off
