She had only a second to roll her eyes at Lewis's comment before she realized what she was doing. Syrah didn't really know why she stood in front of a seven foot, charging blue boy, especially in defense of an animal. A small, unimportant animal in fact. Actually she was pretty sure she was going to get injured in the next few seconds. Which would probably put her out of work for a while. That thought she did not like. She liked work and maybe she was a workaholic. But so what.
Thankfully she didn't get run over by Rykanis. She was somehow pulled and sort of thrown to the ground over to the side. She hit her head pretty hard on the floor where she cried out a bit. But she quickly got up, rubbed her head and looked over to Rykanis, who was stretching his arm after he stopped at the door frame as if he hurt it while using the door to stop himself. That made her lips twitch a bit, wanting to smile at how a big guy like him could get hurt on a door.
Then she looked around, looking for the source of what threw her down. Just as she expected, there was Lewis down on the ground, right where she had been a second ago. Somewhere deep inside her gratitude chocked its way up her. Trying to escape. She swallowed it down, all he did was annoy her to death and hurt her head. Ryk wouldn't hurt her, he stopped at the door didn't he?
You know a second ago she was peacefully studying and now her two closest friends in Riverfall were inside her home.
The truth was that Syrah had weird feelings for both the men inside her house. For Lewis she had a sort of secret feeling that she tried to fight. On one hand his whole being was something she would never approach, he annoyed her, turned into a rodent and was not intelligent. But somewhere deep inside her was this feeling of friendship that tried desperately to see the sun. For Rykanis she loved his entire personality. He was smart and logical, strong and handsome. Plus when he asked questions he seemed like he actually wanted to hear the answers. He was a friend she always loved seeing. Syrah was more open with her feelings about Ryk than with Lewis.
She was thinking about all this while nursing her head and while Rykanis was yelling at Lewis about something. She had to think for a second to remember what he said. Apparently Lewis had stolen from Rykanis again. She smiled wondering how stupid Lewis really was to steal from an Akalak twice. if he let you go the first time what do you think would happen the second time? But what confused her was what Lewis stole. What was a lanken? She was about to ask but she looked over to see what it was. She saw, with a bit of a shock, that it was embedded in her table, just missing her priceless wine book.
She cried out in shock and ran over to the table, scooping up her book protectively in her arms. "You almost hit my book!" she cried out to whoever threw it there. "What were you thinking?! This is priceless!" Syrah cradled the book in her arms as if shielding it from everything else.
