Delays of the Stone

Day 59 of Spring, 513 AV

It was dim, late, the sun having passed to the edge and beyond,leaving the land about Sha laced in shadow. He stared off, expression blank, mask, blades, and cloak lay nearby in a pile. He didn't need them here, too peaceful now, the quiet of night being as present as ever. This time brought something out of Sha, something very few ever saw due to him never meeting people at such a late time. Sadness.

Sadness derived from memories of long ago, of that woman, and that man. The man that had taken it all from him, and the woman that had been his all. A single tear shed each night in remembrance. The heat fading with the tear as he stretched out his arms, he was here for practice, practice at a time few were about, a time where he could train in peace.

He calmed down now, his arms placed in a praying manner as he sat down and crossed his legs, he needed to think. He needed to think about what he was doing with his existence, with his time in the physical world. He was training of course, but he was unemployed, and his monetary supply wouldn't last him very long.

He stood there, mind wandering as he sat crossed-legged with eyes closed and hands placed as if in prayer. His second set laying on either one of his knees, he only needed to keep one in position. The quiet giving way to a serene calmness, an enjoyable wall of nothing but the sounds of the night.

As usual since she came to Nyka, her day had been a great combination of havoc, pain, tears, laughs, giggles and warmth of a man's arms around her. She felt so disgusted with herself, with what she has been doing in the past few days.

It was dark outside, dark enough for no one to notice and no one to care that the young warrior's eyes were filled with tears, her cheeks covered with streams that had been there for hours now. Her knuckles were still hurting from a few days back, still scratched and bruised up heavily. Every time she'd look at them, the streams turned into rivers, wild rivers rushing down form her face to her heart, in an attempt to warm it up, help it heal, help it understand.

Biting on her lip, she winced, growled and squeezed her fists again, dropping down to one knee as soon as she left the gates. Her animals were there, she could sense them, but they were far enough to let her breath, think and not feel bad for upsetting them. They were, in the end, once again, her only real friends....

Managing to slowly push herself up to her feet again, she dragged herself along that road, for the first time not to train but to just... go away... from all of it, all of them, from herself, from everything.
Breathing heavily, she just walked, without a goal. Her eyes were blurry from the tears in them, but she thought that she could, before herself, see a strange figure on the ground. For the first time, she didn't care though, she just kept walking... not being careful or even ready to defend herself... she just kept walking until she was close enough to see that it was a man... or well a male.. something? Something that she has not seen yet..... and well, that night she was quite sure she didn't want to either...

Delays of the Stone

Sha fumbled in the dark as he took up his blades, the night was peaceful, but he felt safer with his steel close by. Next came his cloak, which he began to pull about him until he felt someone watching him. He dropped the cloak and instinctively reached for the hilt of one of his blades.

Yet, he pulled back, something was wrong, something didn't feel right. emotional? A sadness or some other emotion, but he couldn't tell, he could barely make out the woman's figure in the darkness. "Hello," he said in a whisper, his voice coming in the same odd and damaged tone. His mask, where was his mask. His hands fumbling in the dark as he kept his eyes on the woman. His mask, his face wasn't meant to be seen out of combat. He wasn't thinking that he would meet someone out here, especially at this time of day.

He didn't think straight, he only ever revealed his face in combat, and when cleaning himself. This, wasn't supposed to happen, he couldn't find it with his hands, so he would have to rely on the shade of night to protect his image. He stood straight and tall again before speaking. "Are you okay," his face shifting into a quizzical stare, was she the reason it felt so emotional here. Hopefully nothing was wrong, hopefully he could get away without a big conversation, seeing as his conversations with women usually ended in their favor, and with his pride damaged even more than it already was.

The very thought of a conversation made Aleksi shiver and nearly puke. She wished for no company, especially one of a male. And as usual, with her luck being amazing like that, it was another giant. Slightly smaller than the ones she has met before, but a giant non the less.

Rolling her eyes at the sound of his voice, she growled. Fingers clenching her hands into fists, making veins and muscles visible. Anyone who wouldn't notice the change in her behavior would be literally blind. She refused to look his way as she approached him. The cat growling quietly in the darkness behind her, making sure that the man knew his place and wouldn't approach the young Drykas too much.

I am fine! An amazingly happy example of fine! I have never been better in my life actually! It's not like I completely forgot about my goals in life, or gotten drunk with a complete stranger.. or slept with the other one... or oh, wait, wait, wait.. this is the best part! Or the fact that I have a crush on my best friend! Or that I had a third, blue stranger in my bed this morning and I slept on the floor, under a chair!! she screamed out, not being able to hold herself back.

Tears started streaming down her cheeks as she just lost it. She broke down and dropped onto her knees grabbing onto the grass before her. Both Luc and Night ran closer to their human companion, nuzzling her shoulders and getting no reaction. It seemed almost as if the animals whimpered as the girl cried.
Everything in her life was a mess then, not a single thing was going right.... and she had no more strength in her to even care about anything. For all that she knew, she could be kneeling before her death, crying her eyes out.
