What did you just say? (Darren)

[E'isi]

65th day of Spring, 511A.V. Eisi found herself amongst others of the busy streets of Avanthal. She was amazed how in a place so cold, people where so lively. She didn't notice that many people where stopping and staring at her. She was a sight to see, though she had no idea. Her appearance was that of difference to many of these people. Her long white hair stood out in a sea of browns and blacks, her pale skin was almost as white as the snow, and her scales graced her forehead shimmering in the cold light of the Morning sun. But at least she seemed the right height. Eisi smiled friendly to everyone who mumbled a greeting in her direction. She was intrigued with this place, and wanted to learn more about it. Eisi was starting to get discourage, it was several days since she arrived in Avanthal and yet she has not met one person who would take the time to work through her language barrier. It was true she came here knowing little Vani, and well many here didn't know common that well. So they were stuck in a stand still. It was lonely for a young Konti, seeing how she set off on the journey with no friends to come with, She sighed as she sat down at the edge of the busy streets. She was already missing her home, and the warm days and lazy afternoons. The sun was still high in the sky, but she knew that soon it would be time to rest. And she didn't want to get caught in this cold with out a shelter. She stood after several chimes of bells past. Grabbing her bag she entered the forests of Avanthal. The wilderness was soft and quite. Only the sounds of her own foot sets fell to her ears. The smell was that of crisp and clean. The breeze was more of a gust, chilling her to her bone. She huddled deeper in her coat, and pulled up her hood to try and keep the warmth in. She was searching for a small pound or a lake, so at least she would be close to something that was familiar. The bag on her back contained all that she needed for a week. And she hopped that she would run into someone that would help her in the market. But so far no luck. She found a small pond, it was partly frozen, like everything else, but would due. "Maybe this isn't so cold for those who live here, but really the sun is supposed to warm things up, not cool things down!" she mumbled to herself in Kontinese as prepared to get started. Eisi sighed and set her bag down. She looked over all the materials one more time and got to work, clearing her camp ground for the night.

Darren while in the WhiteVine hold heard of talk of a rather pale looking individual roaming around Avanthal. "Hmm? A Konti?" What is that? he asked as the news finally reached him. "They are supposing to be some exclusive race of whitish people that consists of all woman. It's said that they look similar to one another, if you've seen one you've seen them all, eheh. You should try seeing her after work." a fellow WhiteVine member told him. Darren's curiosity rose steadily as he looked at the sun waiting for his shift to be over. After it already set he took some basic supplies as he headed over to the market, the latest area she was supposedly in. By then the sun had already gone by and the moon above him was starting to glow softly. "Hmm, did I miss this chance?" He thought aloud as he looked around the market, asking for where the Konti might possibly be. However seeing that no one seemed to know where she went Darren decided to head home taking one last look around. Suddenly a view of something that is quite rare in Avanthal came to him... Someone was trying to camp outside the Holds. Hehe, I'm guessing that's her he thought as he took a brisk jog over to her. "Hello there! Your the pretty Konti yes?" he spoke in Vani, and just to be safe he spoke in his jumbled common. "Hi! You Girl?!?!"

[E'isi]

Eisi just got settled in, it was rather comfortable at the moment, her fire was going and she just pulled out some grain to cook up for dinner. Thats when she herd foot steps heading her way. She looked in the direction it was coming form and saw a rather scary looking figure. At first the man spoke in Vani..but all she under stood was Konti and Hey. Her eyes grew wide as she started to become worry. It was the first adventure out of her Isle for her, her first stop, and she was for warned about the slave trade. Though she didn't know where they were, or how they looked. "Hi You Girl!?!?" it was a raspy voice with a thick accent, and it sounded harsh and not well put together. Yes this guy is a slave trader. Eisi grasped her knife in hand a bit harsher, as she remained still. She faced him and tried to show no fear, she just might be over reacting. Her Violet eyes shimmered with the blaze of the fire, her scales danced with flashes of hues of blues and peaches. Her lips parted a bit as she tried to muster up the most intimidating voice she could think of. "Who are you?!" it was in Kontinese, her voice, which was supposed to sound mean and scary came out more like the breeze blowing softly, and wind chimes singing a song in the summers air. If he didn't understand her language then it probably sounded nice and sweet. Dam her voice. She tried again this time in Vani, "Why?" she thought for a moment, "Who you?". Her accent was think, and sweet. Still she couldn't sound intimidating. She wanted to slap herself for not learning the language properly, and always sneaking off to the beach then studying. Why did she do that. Her face looked confused and matted. She stood up, still holding the knife tightly in one hand. And facing the man, she squinted as she tried to look at his face, though it was in no use. He was still in shadow. She then though carelessly to herself...I dont even know what to do with the dang knife...oh geeze...

[Darren]

Darren listened to the Konti speak and got really excited. "Baby, I have no idea what you said but that's something amazing" he joked with a small smile on his face, "Well that settles it you are the Konti." When he heard her speak common his face looked worried again. Um..Alright lemme try this he thought as he watched the Konti start looking warily at him. She obviously didn't feel to comfortable around him. He assumed a lower stance so that he was at face level with her. "Alright, let's see... FRIEND?" he said pointing at himself, "DARREN, ...SEXY!" he laughed lightly at his own joke, he only knew greets, certain innuendo, curses and the odd random sentence in common. He pointed at the hold nearby, pointed at the Konti. "GIRL You cold? Cold..." : He said, lightly shivering a bit before he continued, "and hungry?" he said rubbing his stomach and producing some food from his bag. He then pointed his head nodding towards the hold while he offered his hand to her. If she were to to take his hand he would have shook it very aggressively while smiling, followed by a friendly hug. Heck, if she seemed happy/nice enough he'd sweep her off her feet and carry her to the hold if she let him. (OOC: The ones all in capitals and slanted are the common words)

[E'isi]

She looked a bit shocked as this man spoke, he seemed to get excited after she spoke in Kontinese...she cursed her voice again. But after her second attempt he seemed to get it, somewhat... Eisi sighed. Okay this is going to be fun, but then again maybe some good would come of this. The man bent down to look at her in they eyes, he seemed harsh and ruff around the edges but pleasing none the less to the eye. It accrued to her that he wasnt a slave trader, and met good, and possibly a helping hand. He spoke slower and seemed like a lower friendlier tone, at first all she understood was the word see, then he spoke common. "Friend." that was simple enough for her to understand. The next statement almost made her laugh, it was an odd combination, "Darren, SEXY!" Eisi's eyes grew wide as she shook her head slightly. That was not expected from someone she just met. She smiled, it was warming and bright. Her body automatically loosed up as she took a less aggressive stance. She also loosened her grip on her eating knife. He called her a girl again and shook like he was having a seizure. This worried Eisi, maybe he was ill? he spoke a word she didn't under stand and pointed to the building across the way. Oh no! he was ill!! She dropped the knife and ran over to him, first placing a warm webbed hand on his forehead. "Please, don't die!" she exclaimed in Kontinese. Yet again her voice was soft, but this time it had more of a concerned tone to it. She looked at his face and tried to understand what was wrong with him. She didn't notice that he rubbed his stomach, so when he bent down to grab some food, she took it as him falling. She covered her mouth with one hand and reached out with the other. Then he bent up and handed her bread. Eisi blinked several times then laughed at her self. "Oh!" she looked down and closed her eyes laughing. "Sorry I didn't understand." Her laugh was like bells, brightly ringing. She stepped back as she composed herself, "Darren, Im Eisi." she smiled as she took his out reached hand and softly shook it. OOCwords in lighter purple is common darker is Kontinese

[Darren]

Darren was still very giddy with the exotic woman. He finished their hand shake picking her up and giving her a soft hug . He smiled "DARREN, FRIEND IMELSE" he said while he hugged her, he then put her down and turned to look at her camp. It was actually pretty well kept compared to the times he tried out camping. "IS GOOD, but your welcome to come and stay at the hold with the rest of us" he said softly. He still wanted to see more of the white skinned Konti, they have such curious mannerisms he thought trying his best not to laugh blatantly at her. He blushed as he tried to contained his laughter. "Hmph and to top it off your pretty cute too" he thought aloud as looked back at the hold, "heh, alright let's see if I can manage to show you some Avanthal hospitality." He tugged at Eisi's arm lightly gesturing at the hold. GIRL, IS GOOD, but ummm....tck this is troubling. He said, he knew the Konti were somewhat revered in his culture and he wanted to do his part to have her comfortable while she was here, "COME to the hold," he said pointing at the cozy looking houses. He looked for her approval as he lightly helped her packed the smaller things around her camp, he wouldn't touch/pack up the main pieces of her camping equipment, unless she approved.

[E'isi]

She gasps as he picked her up atheistically, her eyes became wide as she was set down. She automatically covered herself and moved away from him. What was he thinking? Just to pick her up like that. Now she watched as he looked over her. She felt naked. What kind of pervert was he? He said something in Vani, which she couldn't understand, for he talked way to fast. "Is Good" he exclaimed as he pointed to the building once more. She watched as he started to pick up her smaller things around the camp."Wait! What are you doing?! Not that!" she exclaimed as he picked up her underclothes from a rock by the fire. "Put that down Pervert!!" she ran over to him and slapped his hand lightly. quickly grabbing the white clothes and stuffing them in a bag, if she was facing him her face would be bright red. Thank god for the darkness. She stood back up and faced him, she shook her head and tried to speak once again in Vani, "here me, no touch," she said as she pointed to her bag, "That uh...over there" she moved her hands around to the other larger things, "You." She watched as he looked and smiled. "COME!" he exclaimed once again as he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the buildings. "Oh come on!!" she exclaimed as she wanted just to throw her hands up. Who was this guy named Darren anyways?! OOCwords in lighter purple is Kontinese red pink Vani

[Darren]

Darren was a bit surprised as she smacked his hand, he really wasn't expecting the timid looking girl to hit him. "Ah!" He said jumping pack and raising his hands up to ward off any other attacks, his mind abuzz his fighting tendencies working it's magic. This woman has deceived me! She is actually a huntress, luring in men into the woods to eat them and take shelter in their bodies! With claws and fang-his little panicked mind stopped racing as she turned to speak with him, showing your true intentions huh? he thought looking wide eye'd and wary. "Here me, no touch." she said pointing at the small bags. Huh? she wants me to carry that stuff too? he thought trying to keep a straight face. "That you!" he turned to see her pointing at the tent. His eyes suddenly popped wide open. I'm a tent?!?! It must be true! She IS a huntress that wants to get inside me! I have to get her to the hold at once! After grabbing the bigger stuff and heading to the hold he kept a close watch on Imelse. The area started to get a bit more hectic as a light snowstorm hit the area. To him it wasn't anything but he knew that non-locals would probably get chilled in this condition. He turned to look at her offering her his jacket. "IMELSE IS GOOD?" he asked looking at her again. He was starting to get mesmerized by the girl's face. No! She is an evil man eater he thought as he quickly turned around and moved through the snowstorm.

[E'isi]

She raised an eyebrow as he looked somewhat shocked, maybe he didn't know that that was her undergarments? no that cant be, he knew. Pervert.. She walked with a gap between them, he could easy over power her, and she was a bit wary of him. He reached around and placed his coat around her, speaking in common he asked, "IMELSE IS GOOD?" she looked back at him and stopped. She parted her lips and spoke slowly, "Eisi.." she pointed to herself, and hoped he would get it, she just notice that he was pronouncing her name wrong, "Darren Pervert?" she pointed to him, her voice made the word behind his name sound like a wonderful thing to be, she hoped that he didn't think it met friend or something. "Yes? No?" she spoke in common. She sighed and hope that where she was going there would be someone who could translate for them. She sighed and decided to talk in Kontinese to fill the gap of silence. "So you know, I am from a warmer area, I am glade or great-full to you that you came out of your way to help me. But I tell you one thing, if you even think about doing a perverted thing to me when we get in that building, well, I have a loud voice and I scream like really loud." she knew that he wouldn't understand, but it felt weird with just walking beside him not talking. "So tell me," she looked to him as they walked down the path "how do you say Tree in Vani?" she pointed to a large pine tree, "Tree?"

[Darren]

Darren walked in a huff as he looked ahead of them. He turned to see if Imelse kept up with him. "Eisi' the Konti said pointing at herself. He nodded, that must be her last name he thought Not that it matters anyway...but "Imelse Eisi, IS GOOD FRIEND?" He asked as they made it through what looked to be the worst of the flash storm. She said something that sounded like his name and...another word he didn't know behind it. The way she said his name sounded really cool to him and the word behind it seemed really exotic and tough also. "NO! NO! NO! NO!, DARREN SEXY PARFART" he said adding this new word to his repertoire of common words. They walked in place for a bit before she suddenly started speaking to him in Konti. To him it sounded really exotic and excited him but the sudden assault of words worried him. She might be on to my plan and is freaking out he thought to himself. He grabbed her by the shoulders trying to calm her down, his eyes glowing alternating between blue and red as his emotions conflicted around him. However she still kept on going suddenly point at the a nearby tree. To this Darren suddenly just beamed, alright something I know! "That is a tree" he spoke confidently in eloquent common, the times he practiced in front of the mirror for random tidbit conversations finally paying off, "Trees are good for food and shelter. Tree." he said having the last word in Vantha. He turned to see the hold not too far away from them. The snowstorm finally revealing the cozy building. He grinned widely, another time for one of his practiced speeches. He turned to Eisi and pointed at the hold. "THERE IS BED, WE SLEEP TOGETHER NOW, YES?"
