Subject: And what would YOU be wanting?
In reply to: Mikhal & Misk 's message, ">Curiousity<" on 12:25:02 09/26/05 Mon

((Is okay...Zeara's not going to be too pleased though, just so you know. If she decides to hold him at knifempoint until she figures out who he is exactly, that's just who Zeara is. And, I don't know if whers snore, but...))


Zeara has found the ledge she has designated as her bed, and is now going through her pack. 'rask has curled up towards the back, and is making soft snoring noises.
She has in her hand an intricately carved piece of wood- the only useless item she possesses-, when she hears something. "Excuse me- Journeywoman Zeara? Are you in there? I'd like to talk to you, if you don't mind..."
Silently, Zeara puts down the piece of wood, and smoothly slides one of her boot daggers out of its sheath. The voice had been male- though sounded young-, and if there was one thing Zeara had in fact learned, was to be wary of any visitors. Double ditto for male visitors who visited without announcement.
Skkrwww 'rask whined, sleepily. Zeara glanced at him- a reflex, for she could only see a form, blacker-than-black against black. She grimaced- not that anyone could see. 'rask was telling her to stop being paranoid, and let him get some sleep.
"When I am sixty-seven, and you are nearly as old, and I am senile, you may tell me what to do, eh? 'til then, no sir."
'rask grumbled again, and went back to sleep.
Zeara concealed the polished blade in her left hand- her knife hand- and stalked to the opening, counting her steps silently. There- a shape that was blacker-than-black against black. She presented her dagger, blade first, at an angle so that it could go smoothly to almost any part of the body.
"Who are you, boy?" she demands, her voice not loud, but possessed of a hard core.
Skkrwww 'rask repeated, and- by moving far more swiftly than would have been believed of a creature so large and who had so recently been sleeping- promptly knocked Zeara down. He sent her the heat image of her visitor. It was the exact same of the boy who had bonded to the bronze hatchling, and 'rask showed her the similarity. The huge bronze wher turned his massive, if ugly, head towards the boy, and grunted. Zeara extended a hand up to grab hold of 'rask's elbow, and hauled herself up.
"What did I just tell you, 'rask? Only when I am senile may you tell me what to do!"
Zeara retrieves her dagger from where it fell, and sticks it through her worn belt- still within fairly easy reach if anything happens.
"Yes, I am Journeywoman Zeara. Who are you, and why do you wish to talk?"


((I'm thinking that they can become friends later on, but currently, what ith Zeara being new to the system, and therefore irratible, she's going to be highly suspicious. Please don't mind my strange way of putting things. I take a cretive writing class as one of my electives, so...I just write like that. ))
