(OPEN) a peacefull city

"Great, great!" Kamrynn muttered to himself. He was stuck on guard duty again, in a town where nothing ever happened. The wild lands were calling to him, where danger lurked in every shadow, and one could lose their life in the blink of an eye.

Today he had given directions to five people, and settled a dispute over a chicken.

But what was this? A couple of kids charged towards him, breathing heavily. Kamrynn smiled, maybe they wanted to play? They looked about 11 and 12, a boy and a girl, both with sandy blonde hair and grass stained clothes.

"Sir knight! Sir knight!" The girl cried. "There's a wolf in town!"

"Oh?" Kamrynn asked, his interest piqued. "You aren't... crying wolf are you?" He chuckled at his own pun.

"No sir!" The boy said sincerely. "We saw it walking down the street, that way just a second ago! It was huge and mean looking!"

A Kelvic then, probably. Kamrynn thanked the kids and jogged in the direction they had indicated. Kelvic were always trouble in Syliras, not that they were bad, they just seemed to have a difficult time adjusting to human culture and civilization.

It didn't take long to find what he was looking for. There wasn't a wolf, but a naked man, talking to several other men on the street. A crowd was starting to form, most of the women were blushing. Kelvic's were also frequently found nude in town, animals didn't have much use for clothes, afterall.

The only two women Kamrynn had ever seen naked were Kelvics, of course he had done the knightly thing and averted his eyes... after a peak or two. He chuckled in memory.

"Excuse me! Citizen!" Kamrynn called out. "I'm going to have to ask you to wear something while you're in town! For decency's sake, and you wouldn't happen to be a wolf Kelvic, would you?"

OOC: It was just the one coin, not the bag

Add it to your CS

Trovian nodded as the man spoke and raised his eyebrows, quickly lowering them again so as to not to appear rude.

'Each to their own I guess.'

He looked again at Shadow, who was watching him contentedly, scraping his hooves occasionally and looking around to familiarise himself with his new surroundings. Trovian looked back to his companions, waiting to see what was in store next in this curiously odd meeting.

He looked across at the guard as he approached and spoke. Trovian was getting rather amused by this situation and finding it rather funny. Shadow danced around for a moment, turning to stare at the guard.

"I haven't been stopped yet." He watched the bird take off, and tried to forget that he would have eaten it had he not already met this man.

"Well, speak of the devil." He looked to the knight who approached him, smiling brightly with clasped hands. "Why yes, I would be. And no, I have no clothing. Would you rather lend me your own, or shall I shift once more and be out of words for humans?"

Kael closed his eyes listening to the sound of birds in a tree. "ahh they remind me of home" Kael pulled out a stale piece of bread holding out his hand "it's a shame they do not understand my tounge" kael let out a few clicks of his tounge placed a piece of the bred on his hand. a small yellow bird landed on kael's fingertips taking the bread and looking back at him chirped a little then flew back into its tree

Kamrynn hated this part of the job, and he hated being the bad guy. He could appreciate the Kelvic's position, certainly, but this was Syliras, and certain things were inappropriate.

"Well," He began. "I don't want to give the impression that Kelvic are unwelcome in Syliras, it's quite the contrary, actually. But... It would be preferable if you stayed in your human form while in the city, a few of the citizens here were distressed to see a wolf prowling about. As for clothing, well, I suppose you could use this as a sort of loin cloth until you find something better." He reached into a pouch on his belt, pulling out a large strip of white cloth suitable for dressing wounds and offered it to Aiken.

That settled, he turned to look over the other two men. "Good afternoon, gentlemen. How do you fare today?"

by **Ash'eny** on June 7th, 2010, 3:29 am

"Afternoon Knight."

Ash'eny coughed faintly as he made himself known, he was dressed in his usual beggar's getup, the large brown cloak, stitched together with patches and such, mis matched colors, obviously worn. A faint chuckle rumbled from his throat as he kept his head low, sitting against the building, a home probably. His body was completely hidden, but by his looks, he was but another homeless man. They were few in Syliras, in comparison to places such as Sunberth, but to be void of them, impossible.

Then Ash'eny spoke in a different language. It was not common, which is what he was fluent in, but the Inarta common tongue, Nari. It would be obvious to those that actually spoke the language like Kaelithus, which was actually his target, that his knowledge of his language was poor at best. "You Inarta rain (rain was probably a word mispronounced, meant to be something else)? Sorry, Nari not well speak." Ash'eny did his best with his broken Nari language, but because of its lacking, even the Inarta boy himself would most likely have difficulty understanding. It would probably grab his attention though, which was Ash'eny's main goal.

The beggar continued to sit on the ground, hanging his head low so that his hood kept his face hidden. He didn't feel like creating conflict with the Knights, not that seeing his face would do anything bad itself, but he'd rather be unrecognized if he ever was seen. His costume was what he relied on to stay hidden from their eyes.

Aiken took the cloth and tied it loosely around his waist, so that it would be comfortable enough, even if he absolutely needed to shift. "It's not so bad. Though I still don't understand the view of indecency being nude brings. Its natural. All the clothing and such is just... outside. Except for our knight here."

He turned around and threw his arm sarcastically over the shoulder of Kamrynn. "This armor here is practical. I sure couldn't bite through it if I tried. And it makes getting to his neck that much harder."

He turned again to the knight and bowed his head for a second. "I apologize for my ignorance. However, I'm glad you see that my nature provides me with an acceptable reason. The case is that I have no clothes, and if I did, I would have no way to carry them, or any liking to wear them comfortably."

by **Wystern** on June 7th, 2010, 6:52 am

Wystern walked over to the commotion as he noticed Kam, an almost naked man, an Inarta-looking man and a pair of figures one in a gray cloak, the other in brown. He watched this go on for some time now, Kam had it under control. Wys was curious why it was so much fun watching Kam getting into these awkward situations, perhaps those reactions were just simply funny.

Today was just another boring day that he had to wander through a city looking to help whomever needed him. Today he brought some ale in a water skin to make he day go faster. It didn't particularly help, eventually the drink lost its fuzz and he emptied the skin onto the closest dirt patch as he approached a fellow Knight.

"Hello, Kam!" He said as he walked up."I only have a single question, why are you half-naked, sir?" Wys said with a smirk looking at the man in a loincloth.

by **Kaelithus** on June 7th, 2010, 10:41 am

Kaelithus looked back at the beggar attempting to speak his tongue and smiled "I applaud your ability at even attempting Nari is astonishing" He bowed his head in respect "and I assume that since you spoke that language you have something you need me for...or even something to do"

He looked up at the two knights and bowed his head in respect to Kamrynn "Good afternoon knight, just a little Target practice to stop from rusting in this 'boring' town" He turned to Wystern "my my it looks like we're attracting a whole crowd of knights today"

In the distance a spec of black began to form into a shape as Midnight returned to his friend with a small rodent in its beak placing it in its 'nest' inside Kael's backpack.

"Well, that would be because I'm more wolf than man. Why constrict myself if I don't need to?" Aiken laughed, then looked around to realize he practically towered over everyone else. He also wondered why so many people were worried that he chose not to wear clothing, while it was everyone else who defied natural order with the coverings and cloaks.
