[Sanctuary] Something Familiar [Kavala]

[Sama'el Sunsinger]

Sama'el smiled. Her praise was heartening even if she claimed no great knowledge of the future. His goals could be realized, but even if they weren't, even if he died on circuit or of some disease, he died free and the shades of his parents wouldn't be unduly dishonored by their last living son to die a slave. And yet, despite his surety, despite his non-attachment to the outcome, he found that he still appreciated someone believing in him, even someone he had never met before now. It would seem that this place did live up to its name, to be a sanctuary, not only for stray Drykas such as himself, but horses and two-legged people as well from what he heard. He grew pensive when asked for a suggestion to name her lovely beasts to be. Every idea that popped into his head seemed less ideal than the last until finally he shook his head ruefully. "I'm not very creative," he demurred, "but I'm sure it will come to you. Perhaps like some parents don't name their children until they are born, or even until they are old enough to speak and walk themselves." There were some places where infant mortality was so high that it didn't pay to invest emotionally in children whose survival was chancy at best. "I have a good feeling about it," he echoed, confidence for confidence. Perhaps someday he would see the fruits of her labor and the vision would engender a name, but for now they were ephemeral dreams locked in the blood and seed of her horses and those she had yet to purchase. "Do you go to the Sea often?" he asked, glancing toward Suva's watery grave.

Thread Grading! Sama'el XP/Skills: +2 Planning, +3 Socializing Lore: Vanator's younger sister Kavala, No shame in breastfeeding, Akalaks: Cerulean are not to be trifled with, Kavala's Pavilion/Room, The power of names Item/ Consequences: N/A Additional Notes: A nice short thread, to bad it ended prematurely. For obvious reasons, I could not give you points in riding, I mean really 99 points? That would take some intense riding to get that last point. Wasn't to many chances for XP, since it was mostly a social thread, but you got a decent bit of lores. * *** * Kavala XP/Skills: +2 Deduction, +2 Hostessing, +2 Planning, +2 Riding, +4 Socializing Lore: Meeting Sama'el of the Sapphire Clan, No shame in breastfeeding, The power of names Item/ Consequences: N/A Additional Notes: Well, I found a few more skills for you, than I did for Sama'el, but he got more lores. I found this thread quite interesting, and it is nice to see someone rping a baby. Most would just assumed he is being babysat, or something, but you kept him involved. I am sure it takes a decent bit of skill also, to ride a horse with a baby, and was happy how you explained that and wrote it out well in detail. -If you have any questions about the grade, don’t hesitate to PM me.
