Kyns
Kyns didn't even notice Echo come in until she dropped to her knees beside him, and then wrapped her arms around him. He tried his best to not start crying, especially in front of Echo. Kyns closed his eyes and sighed, his top lip quivering. Then he opened his eyes and looked at Vamba's face, thinking of the first day he had met him....
Kyns shambled into the eastern quadrant of Pitfum. He wore nothing but animal skin pants and a scowl. As he moved through the busy streets, people stopped and looked at him, raising eyebrows at the odd man. All Kyns could think about was the war he just fought, the things he had just done, and the lives he had just destroyed. Deep in his own thoughts, Kyns accidentally stumbled in an old dwarf who was looking at fresh herbs. "S-sorry sir..." Kyns mumbled under his breath, and kept walking. But suddenly, the old man grabbed his arm and spun him around. Vivid memories of blizzard ambushes struck his mind and Kyns unleashed a battle cry, almost striking the old dwarf, but he stopped himself short of punching the man in the face. Expecting for some authorities to be called, Kyns started to back up, but the man held out his hand. "Boy, wait!" The old man called out. Kyns stopped and looked at the dwarf. For an old man, the dwarf had a handsome face, with a rugged jawline and very little wrinkles here and there. He had a greying amber red beard and long grey hair, which was kept in a ponytail at the moment. Kyns' eyes darted about, scanning the dwarf for any signs of what was about to happen. "Rough time huh?" The dwarf asked. A concerned look growing on his face. Kyns looked at the dwarf and took a step closer. He nodded and relaxed a bit. "I'm Vambavinix Sirbovoin. But...how about you just call me Vamba." The dwarf said with a smile. For the first time in years, Kyns cracked a small grin. "I'm Kyns." He said. "Kyns eh? It's a pleasure to meet you Kyns. I like that grin you have there. You look a lot more handsome with it on than a scowl." Vamba said, laughing heartily. Kyns' grin turned into a smile, and then into a chuckle. "Thanks." Kyns said. "Say...how about you come over to my place eh? I own this nice little workshop not too far from here. You could stay for as long as you need to!" The dwarf said smiling. Kyns looked at the old man, in disbelief of his kindness. "I...don't want to be a bother.." Kyns said sadly, then started to walk away. "You won't be a bother at all! You just look like you could really use a place to stay...and a friend to talk to." Vamba said warmly. Kyns turned around, staring at the old man with a smile slowly growing on his face. "Alright...but I have a lot to vent..." Kyns said. "Well, I have a lot of time to listen." Vamba said happily, before turning around and leading Kyns back to his workshop.
....Kyns looked down and closed his eyes again, then began to weep. He leaned over and buried his head into Echo's shoulder while the tears began to flow, he bawled as he slammed his fist on the bed. "I never told him how much I loved him...he was all I had...all that got me through all these years...and never once did I tell him I loved him..." He whimpered. "He was more of a father to me than my real one ever was...or ever could be...how could I never tell him how much he meant to me...i'm such a fucking ass.." Kyns added. He lifted his head from Echo's shoulder and looked at her, his face was red and soaked in tears. "Why...WHY didn't I tell him sooner? I was planning on telling him just now...thanking him for everything he's done before we left..." Kyns looked away and wiped his tears with his sleeve. " That man was my hero, Echo...I don't know where i'd be if it weren't without his help...most likely dead...or a drunk..." Kyns said, looking at the floor. "I bet i'm the one that killed him...all his stress over me has just been building through the years and he just finally keeled over from it all..." Kyns stifled out, holding back more tears. He looked at Vamba...figuring now was better than never to let him know how he felt... "Thank you...for all you've done...I love you Vamba...i'm sorry I've never you told you this before now..." Kyns said in a raspy tone, choking back tears. He looked back at Echo. "I'm sorry you had to see that...I don't usually cry like this in front of people..." Kyns said, trying to give a weak smile as he wiped away his tears. "Are..you alright Echo?" Kyns asked, his usual upbeat tone of voice much softer and mellow.
