Veda eyed the tin box, eager to open the last trace of John she had. She held the box tightly, having a bit of difficulty opening it. Her eagerness made her movements shaky, but eventually she opened the box. Veda stared at the paper old with age, and the glints of metal peeking through. Vedas fingers, rough but thin grabbed the two earrings. Just by looking at the silver earrings she remembered John just through the gift. The gift was well thought out, any fancier and she might have had them snatched from her ears. She saw the younger brother looking eagerly to see what was in the box, and she didn’t blame him. 8 years was a very long time to be waiting on opening a gift. Veda specifically remembered him eager to give her a gift before the raid, asking questions on her favorite colors and metals. A small smile lit her face remembering her lost lover, though her eyes were misty. Veda made sure to quickly put the earrings in, tightening the small clasp to secure the gift. The added weight made her think about the gift and enjoy the more. Veda gazed up when the shadow in front of her disappeared, to see Joseph leaving the room looking terribly upset. She glanced at the elf before following the younger. Though she may not have seemed like it, she was happy to see the younger brother and wasn’t going to let him disappear from her sight that quickly. "Joseph!" Veda said, wanting the taller, and faster paced, male to stop.

Zoey watched Veda slowly open the box, from her distance and angle she couldn't tell what was inside of it until Veda took out a pair of beautiful silver earrings, she smiled a little once Veda's eyes got noticeably misty. Must mean a lot, she thought as Joseph walk out of the room and Veda follow so she made like a duckling and followed. She picked up the pace utnil she was walking next to Veda "They look nice on you." she said with a smile before walking a little faster until she was right behind Joseph. Zoey put out a hand on Joseph's left shoulder, she didn't put any force in it she just wanted to get his attention. "Joseph." she said in a soft voice. "Please" she continued, hoping he would stop.


@Aine @Fawnking
 
"Let's get some more speed here eh?" With these words, and a few hand gestures while holding the reins, Soma started picking up speed. After some time, Elizabeth finally dared to look around, even look down, without even feeling slightly dizzy. "Damn, this potion is amazing.", she murmured, the sound of her voice being buried once more by the sound of the rushing wind.


It didn't take long until the sky started darkening around them and the air started to slowly but steadily getting colder. This was a sign that they were getting closer to their destination: Alljirn. She looked once again over Vinn's shoulder. "So, how much longer will we need?", she asked him like an impatient kid.


@SpookySpecter
 
Echo tilted her head at Kyns, as if she were contemplating saying something when the waitress came back she smiled before handing the waitress, "I'll have the Venison please." After that the waitress ran off Echo was left drumming her fingers on the table along to the beat of a song playing in the back round as she thought about a conversation starter, "Why is your armour so important to you? Did you make it?"

Nisha


Nisha crossed her arms as she stared out the window. "I'm a saleswoman. I Have two shops and I travel frequently between them to check up on things." She said, looking over to Raven. "Been doing this since I was fifteen. Started up shop in Binbig, then I got popular....i'm an arms dealer of sorts." She said, leaning over and smirking. "Recently, I got a great gig selling arcane cannons. But I sold a bad batch to the wrong people...now i'm being hunted down CONSTANTLY! It's a little annoying to be honest." A frown grew on Nisha's face. "I didn't seem like a bitch when we first met right?" She asked in a concerned tone.





@Veyd Sahvoz
 
Joseph felt a sudden touch on his shoulders, and on reflect, swatted the hand away. He needed some time alone right now. It's not like him to be like this, and he knows it; maybe his new spine still hasn't set in yet, maybe it was just a bad day, after the travel across the continent, maybe it's something totally foreign to him, or more likely, an emotion that he has forgotten, something that he hasn't felt in many years. He simply looked into Zoey's eyes before walking off, out of the shop and into the streets.


@Drakeel @Fawnking
 
Veda gave a small smile at the elves words, enjoying a compliment. She saw the two's interaction and was a bit startled Joseph kept walking. “Ah, he just needs time I suppose. He better come back.” Veda mumbled, holding up the tin box. Veda made her way to the counter where Gabriel stood. He gave her a weird look, being witness to the brooding brother walking out of the store. The old man gave her a smile, noticing the earrings. “Very cute on you, Veda.” She nodded with a smile and leaned on his right arm. Gabriel tended to the odded out customers, not used to seeing an emotional display like that in a bookstore. Veda opened the box and glanced at the paper before her swift fingers plucked it out of its confinement. ‘Withered down and yellowed with age’ Veda examined opening the parchment. John’s neat writing was immediately noted, along with his curvy signature at the bottom. Veda started to read, imagining the other. “Veda, our time together has been nothing but the best time I’ve had. From meeting you to now, I wish to be nowhere else but by your side. Our first talks still linger in my mind, your actions and personality just making me fall deeper in love with you. I know you aren’t a fan of presents, but I felt you deserved something nice, that reminded you of me. I’m usually not this big of a sap. Love, John” Veda was bubbling with happiness, although a part of her was sad to get a sweet message like this so late.

Kyns


"It was practically a gift from Vamba. He helped me with the hard stuff like the engine. I added the hydraulics in afterward because it was really hard to punch anything in it. And..well...it's kinda like my main weapon. Like how a knight has his sword, and Vamba has his cane." Kyns said, laughing a little as his own joke. "Hey, by the way. Speaking of weapons, I got you something at the rhino shop." Kyns said, reaching into his satchel. He pulled out a small wooden handle and clicked a button on it. Whirring and churning sounds could be heard from inside it, then suddenly blades popped out, revealing a devastating dagger. "I thought maybe you'd like it. It's a lot better than a flimsy wooden shiv ey?" Kyns says laughing. "So...what kind of stuff do you like to do?" Kyns asked, clicking the button on the dagger again to make it sheathe; while he passed it Echo.

Zoey moved her hand away as soon as Joseph swatted it she look back into his eyes until he walked off. She sighed deeply before turning back to Veda standing in the middle of the shop awkwardly. She watched her read a note of some kind. "Ill just...ill just go outside." she said quietly before stepping outside the small bookstore into the busy streets. She turned and noticed a bench a couple meters away, she sat down and held her head. What are you doing out here? she thought sadly Here we are, thinking we'd come on some crazy adventure. she sighed. Her eyes stung, she wanted to cry. I wonder what dad would think. she thought as she closed her eyes tight. "Welcome to binbig" she muttered bitterly.

Echo laughed at Kyns joke, not doubting for a second that Vamba would think twice about whack in someone in the side of the head with his cane. As Kyns mentioned a present tilted her head then leaned forward to get a better look. He pulled out a brown hilt to a dagger with golden workings around it. As she was about to ask why he got her a hilt to a dagger he pressed a button and out flew a rather lethal looking blade, "That must have cost a fortune," She said as she eyed the blade, "Thankyou." As he handed the blade to her she poked around at it curiously then thanked him again before thinking about his question, "Well, Aside from kicking people's asses?" She asked sarcastically, before really thinking about what she loved to do, "I like languages, I speak about 3 oh and I love music, I play most string instruments. What about yourself, any hidden talents?"


@SpookySpecter
 
Vinn





"Not much longer, that's the the inn we're supposed to bring her to down there!" Vinn said, pointing at a large wooden snow-capped building. "Now we just need to find her...." Vinn said. In the distance, a blizzard was brewing. Soma halted mid-flight and flew down, landing atop a cliff. A frozen lake could be seen in the distance. As the griffin landed, Vinn caught a glimpse of a small grove of ancient trees, that were recently parted and revealed a cavern. Soma landed and Vinn hopped off, shifting his cigar to the side off his lip while he held his hand up to assist Beth off the griffin. "We should throw these suits on before we freeze." Vinn said as he began shivering.





@Capricornus
 
Kyns


"Don't sweat it, I figured that since I had some extra money lying around it'd be best to spend it on a friend." Kyns said smiling. "Well, Aside from kicking people's asses?" Echo said sarcastically in response to his question. Kyns laughed at Echo's sarcasm. "I like languages, I speak about 3 oh and I love music, I play most string instruments. What about yourself, any hidden talents?" Echo said. "Three languages!? What can you speak?" Kyns asked eagerly, his eyes widening. "And you'll have to show me your instrument skills sometime."Kyns said smiling. He raised an eyebrow when she asked about him. "Me? Well....I mostly just like to meditate and travel. I want to explore Dull Age ruins sometime in the future." Kyns said excitedly. "And, between you and me....I like to sing. It sounds terrible, but I still like it. It passes the time whenever I'm travelling alone." Kyns admitted. Suddenly, the waiter came back with a large tray of food and presented it to them, placing two gear shaped plates in front of them, and a bowl of chowder. "Enjoy!" The server said as she hustled away with the tray.





@PurpleTurtle
 
"Thankyou." she said again then laughed at his shock over her languages, "Well, I can speak this language. I can also speak Maziin it's a Kykdren language that my grandma insisted I learnt. She wouldn't talk to me in this language for years." She explained, and oh her Nan had. She could distinctly remember how frustrated she got when her Nan just expected her to know what she was talking about, "I also speak Sadia, most Elves speak it. It's a beautiful language but it's full of unnecessarily long words."


"Dull age ruins? I didn't even know there were any left." she said then smiled as he mentioned singing, "I'm not the most talented in that area either. I'll make you a deal! If I play... the cello for you will you sing?"


@SpookySpecter
 
Kyns


Kyns dug eagerly into his steamed bass. "That's fascinating that you know how to speak more than one language." Kyns said between bites. He stopped eating once he heard Echo mention singing. "Uhhhhh...okay. I will. But it has to be when I want to, and whatever song I want!" He said, as he drank some water. "I remember hearing about an old human fortress that was recently dug up. I'm gonna go see it someday." Kyns said longingly. "But anyway...what do you think of Vamba? I was afraid he was going to have a heart attack when he saw you." Kyns said jokingly. "The last time I had seen him I told him i'd have a woman with me, he didn't believe me so we placed a bet, and every year that I didn't see him the bet was risen by a hundred gold." Kyns said laughing. He finished his water and grabbed his rum, sipping it to see how it tasted.





@PurpleTurtle
 
Echo took a bite of her Venison as she listened to Kyns ramble on about singing. As he asked her about her opinion on Vamba she smiled, "I think I should drag my Nan to binbig to meet Vamba and allow them to whack people with there Canes together." she said with a giggle then rolled her eyes at Kyns, "Is it that hard for the dragon slayer to get a woman? I've seen at least 3 go googly eyed as you walked by." She grabbed her lemonade then took a sip, "Do you have any family around here?"


@SpookySpecter
 
Kyns


Pleased with the rum's taste, Kyns went ahead and chugged half the mug. "Well...I don't have any problems 'finding' a woman. I just haven't really settled down at all. Vamba says I should stop with the jobs and the fighting and just find a nice girl and settle down here in Binbig with him." Kyns says as he places down his rum. "I could never do that though...it's just not my lifestyle...and every girl I meet gets scared off every time I propose that we go do something even remotely dangerous!" Kyns said sadly, looking into his drink. "There was this one girl in Pitfum...she was an elf vigilante. We'd go on missions together... Kyns chugged the rest of his rum. "The mob targeted her to get to me...they drove by and just...she was just a bullet sponge...I wasn't allowed to go to her funeral. Her parents blamed her death on me." Kyns ordered another rum, which was brought over to him hastily. "Family around here? Well...not close by. I consider Vamba my family though." Kyns said, a smile growing back on his face. "My real family lives back on the farm in the south. My two younger brothers: Vinn and Dansen; my mother Ginsa and my father Ninthus." Kyns sipped his rum. "They're a rowdy bunch. Vinn especially. Bearded bastard said he was gonna come find me. Hasn't yet though. I'm still waiting for him to." Kyns said laughing. "Do you only have family in Pitfum?" Kyns asked as he took another bite of his bass.


@PurpleTurtle
 
Veda tucked the treasured note into her breast pocket, securing the button to make sure it was safe. She glanced around, noticing that the shorter girl was now missing. She patted Gabriel’s arm, “Is it alright to relax the rest of the day?” He gave her a warm smile, “Days almost over, go ahead Ve.” She nodded and looked into the employee’s room, not seeing the elf she wandered out the front door. She glanced at the brick street, noticing the other businesses nearby, and in the distance, you could see the giant outline of the Binbig College. Looking between the people walking around, she noticed the elf sitting on the bench. Veda carefully made her way between the small crowd, to sit next to the gloomy girl. “So Zoey, right?” She started the conversation carefully.


@Drakeel
 
She turned her head to the girl who was now sitting next to her, recognizing her as Veda. "Yes. That's me." she said rather indifferently, sitting up straight and regaining her care free nature. "What's up?" she said with an almost unnoticeable hint of sorrow. "For what its worth...im sorry, for what happened to John." she took a pause. "Not that i can say i know much. I havent had to deal with anything that extreme yet" she zoned out after that, wondering where Joseph went off to.


@Fawnking
 
"I guess I'm kind of the same. I couldn't stand just sitting around in a house all day, or working a desk job! Imagine how boring that'd be!" she said then listened to him talk about a past love, "She sounds lovely, I'm sorry you had to loose her like that but I'd imagine she wouldn't want you sitting here mourning over her." she finished up her Venison as he talked about his family and Echo family, "Oh I'd imagine your parents never had a dull moments with three boys running around." she said with a laugh, "I'm an only child, though my best friend Elana practically lived with us, you'd like her actually, she's very... energetic. Other then her I lived with my mom Melayna and dad Lucien and Nan. There pretty boring other then Nan, she somehow managed to find her way onto the roof of her house at least once a week." she explained with a laugh.


@SpookySpecter
 
Veda let out a short laugh, “It’s all ok, I’m usually not so emotional but bringing back all these memories is a bit overwhelming, doubt Joseph is that emotional normally either.” She smiled. “So how long have you been a part of Enigma Zoey?” Veda leaned back on her hands, watching the people come and go along the street. “You and Joseph must be pretty close.” Her attitude was light and friendly, despite the events of the day. “Don’t worry about him, he is probably brooding in a corner, used to do that all the time back then.” Veda laughed, remembering the younger brother


@Drakeel
 
She nodded and then laughed at Veda's first question. "It's pretty complicated." she chuckled. "I guess ive been part since i saved him from bleeding in the streets of Pitfum." she said recalling the days events. "It was right after the bombing started. Someone shot him in the back." She was caught off guard by the second question "I mean...I hope...I've only known him for a few days. We started off when I was captured by one of his mobsters while stopping a suply line, i am...well was a hired gun and they promised alot of gold so off i went, but anyways yeah, captured, betrayed a friend and now we are here. Looking for whoever payed for that contract." She sighed Well, we opened up quick didn't we? She smiled at Vera's Joke "I hope so."


@Fawnking
 
Veda smiled liking how the younger was trusting her. “Hm, being shot in the back just sounds painful.” Veda touched her scarred cheek. “ Hm well, I'm grateful to you for saving him. Although meeting him again has already turned my life upside down, I'm glad to have seen him again. I like to think he looked up to me back then, not too sure about it now.” She nodded to herself. Two men were talking in front if the bookstore, while a mother tended to her child by the shop adjacent to Gabriel’s. “ Behind the bookstore is Gabe’s house, he has plenty of room to share if you would like to stay the night. Binbig's hotels aren't exactly cheap.” She laughed, standing. “ I'll leave a note on the front of the door to tell Joseph to just knock if he comes back tonight.”


@Drakeel
 
She smiled a little. "I don't think he looks up to anyone anymore." She chuckled a little when Veda brought up staying at Gabriel's. "What am I gonna do? Say no! Thank you so much, I'd love to." She stood up with her and laughed. "Lead the way!" She said putting her arm out at an angle as a joke.


@Fawnking
 
Veda smiled “He respected his brother and looked up to him, and I think me dating John made him respect me too!” she saw the arm and linked with the elf. Veda gave a beaming smile at Zoey for trusting her. “Let’s go then, Zoey.” Veda gave a quick glance at the pink sky, the buildings seeming altered by just a simple time change. The streets were quieter and less populated. She guided the younger into the bookstore once more. Veda eyed the older man assisting the last customer for the night. She led Zoey through the employee’s only door and to the back of the small room, only meant for repairing books. ‘Gabriel would understand they need a place to stay the night, he is too kind to say no.’ Veda smiled as she thought about the caring bookstore owner. She opened the door in the back of said room, and up the flight of stairs to another door. Once opened a large area was shown, furnished neatly. “Your room is next to mine if that’s alright.” She motioned down one of the hallways. “The bathrooms right beside your room,” Veda announced, turning on the lights.


@Drakeel
 
Zoey followed Veda, cheerful to turn things back to a happy note and nodded a thanks to Gabriel as they passed. She looked around at the back, impressed. "Sure do have quite a bit of room back here." she listened to Veda describe where shed be sleeping and where the restrooms were. She gave a fake pout when she explained her room would be next Veda's. "Aw, so far away." she joked as she took a seat. "Should we wait for Joseph to get back?" she asked. "Maybe we could chat?" Zoey added with a smile.
