Silence (Risa Moontide)

by **Risa Moontide** on September 25th, 2011, 1:42 am

Risa sighed and let the girl lead her to a table. This spacey girl was caught up in her own thoughts all the time, seemed to have so little focus on the present. At least her answers were clear. Risa felt her face redden. She was never this rude to people, never this angry. She didn't really know what had come over her.

Taln was right; the lower caste didn't have any freedoms. Risa was really an Avora, but she wanted to see the discrimination of the lower castes. She didn't want to pretend to be a dek; all the deks had the same broken look to their eyes. But pretending to be a chiet gave her a lot of the info she as looking for. It was sad that people got treated lower than others without earning it.

Alstroemeria went over the book quickly, giving a brief summary. Risa didn't mind, she tried to watch the pages as Alstro spoke. Risa wasn't completely listening; she kinda wanted to try to learn the language herself through the books but figured a book on rock climbing would just give her an extra opportunity.

Still, when ALstro walked away, Risa left the book still. She felt like laying down, going over the day again and again until it made sense. Risa left the library, as well as the strange girl behind her. Fala and Risa would have to find another way to learn Nari, perhaps ask Taln again. Or even Tavaltia, she never thought to ask him. Risa left the day behind her.

oocWould you mind timestamping this towards the end of Fall? Thanks!

Risa, You don't have to actually add Nari as a skill. I just like to give a visible account of her learning the language, since if she is in Wind Reach for long enough, she is going to catch on

Alstro, I wish you would be more clear with your posts. It also seems as if you don't fully read the descriptions of the locations you choose nor do you seem to completely understand the lore. You called Risa "Intern" at one point. There are no interns in Wind Reach. Perhaps you should try taking a little more time with your posts, spelling them out and thinking carefully about what you want to say so that it doesn't come out in a jumble.
