Hello.... small one? (Tiza)

[Elliot Skythorn]

Looking at her eat as if her life was in danger by starvation made him laugh a bit before grabbing some of the berries and putting them in his mouth. He almost started choking on some walnuts as he could not stop himself from laughing while chewing. Finaly regaining his compousure he spoke again while smiling: "I know what you meant, and i wouldn`t have it any other way" he stopped a bit to give himself a moment to laugh before continuing: "Yea they are really amazing" the two sentances had nothing to do with eachother, yet he kept them so close as if they made something bigger when they combine.

He continued to smile while glaring around as she picked up the feather back from his hair and returned it to her`s. It was an everyday question he heard once too many times, yet he answered with nothing more than a smile every time. Yet he felt like a kid again while close to her so he was more hyper than usual and a lot more chatty, and so he spoke again: "Yea i get that comment about my eyes a lot, oh well i guess it is not so bad to stand out every now and than, i hate it tho, at least most of the time" he sighsed a bit at the end of his line.

"So how come you get to be around at this late hour, at your age?" he already was guessing the possible answers, but hey, he was curious.

[Tiza]

Tiza sighs gently and had allowed whats is in her mouth. Elliot feels the young girls hyperness and giddy attitude had changed to a more solemn sense. Something bad must of happened to her or to do with her but none the less she feels comfertable with telling you

"Well.. about a month ago some people attacked a small camp my parents and a few other people kept.. We always traveled together. I woke up and hears screams of the other family and saw their tent on fire. they were dead and comming for us. I changed into my bird for and hid but i watched my parents die"

Tiza stared down as she told you this. She seemed okay with telling you but it brings back recent memories. Elliot seems to understand why Tiza is so giddy and hyper, its to act like nohing happened and to go on with doing what she normally does.

"I flew here and stole 100 coins froma passerby recently. See when my kind changed into their animal for our clothes are shed so an older woman saw me in the alley hiding and gave me these clothes and some food rations for 2 weeks. I dont like to spend my money on lodging when i can sleep in my bird form and hide somewhere for free"

Tiza smiles again and put the feather back in Eliots ear. She seemed to of pushed the memories back to the furthest part of her mind to repress them. This girl dosent like to be sad even though something terrible had happened to her family and the life she knew.

[Elliot Skythorn]

Some form of compassion filled Elliot`s heart and mind as he litsened to her weave the tale of her arrival to Syliras, the tale of both an old life, and a starting of a new one. He could understand her on so many levels, yet he felt no need to reveal any of this to her as he kept poking around his mind, considering all she must have been through, and all those things that are yet to come, but was it the right thing to tell her that, was it the right thing to do, to rock her feeling of happiness away, or should he just leave her like this, cheerfull and careless?

It was a truly difficult question, no, difficult questions to answer to himself as he was deciding the answers in his mind. He was now sure it was a too much trouble to disturb her inner peace, since for starters, she would have to learn all of that on her own sooner or later anyway. After she finished her tale, he only nodded in silence as a sign he understood what happened, not speaking a word about it. His mouth opened again but than he closed them as he was not ready for a completely cheerfull tone yet, it took him a few moments, but when he opened his mouth again, words started flowing out in a whispery tone: "Well i guess i understand all you went through, so i know how lonesome my life was when i lost mine...." he meant parents, but he just could not bring himself to say that word as he continued another sentance: "If you ever need anything, within the bounds of reason, any help at all, i`d be happy to" he sighsed a bit before letting his head fall on the table slowly

[Tiza]

Elliot felt Tiza's hands lay on his head gently. She seemed concerned about you thinking you were sad now that she had told her tale. Her fingers wove the feather in your hair as a sign of friendship,that much was evident. Tiza paused for a moment to think then got up and looked at the innkeeper and exchanged a few words, she handed him a few coins then he pat her on the head gently and handed her a key. She came back to the table and says in a soft toned voice

"If you wanted.. i dont know what your morals are but if you wanted we could stay in the same room to save money. I know its odd for a boy and girl to sleep in the same room unless theyre married but..just offering. It is room number six"

With that she walked up the stairs, its funny, no noise could be heard as she went to her room. She didnt turn into a bird. She seemed to have a bounce to her step.The door shut a few moments later and all was quiet in the inn

[Elliot Skythorn]

It truly was an uncommon question in the eyes of other people, but he still did not care what strangers thought of him his whole life, so why start now? That was the only question in his head as he got up slowly going towards the stairs, grazing the nearby sitting down folk as he passed by them. While climbing up the stairs, he smirked at the few rather curious individuals, fending off their gazes sideways, for even if he was not ashamed, he did not like being stared at.

It took him a fair bit of time before reaching the top of the stairs, he hessitated as much as one heartbeat before knocking on the door to her room. For even if he was not really intending to sleep at all, he still needed some company, and there was nothing bad in making new friends.

The time in which he was standing in front of the door, he checked his eyes for "leaks" as he would call them, for even if he was not in that bad of a mood, there was always a possibility he could not handle the haunting memory of his parents from time to time.

[Tiza]

Tiza came to the door when Elliot knocked and smiles softly, She stepped aside to let you in. The room was already clean and the window was opened. She looked at you curiously then tugged you inside the room. Nothing but friendship lingers between you and her. She was just a sweet young girl who might of had a crush on you but wanted a friend none the less.

"Would you like the bed? Well actually you can have the bed i normally sleep in my bird form anyway. Come on in!"

She sat on the window sil, legs hanging out of it. Her gaze seemed to be a thousand miles away as she watched the town and setting sun. The people were slowly going into their homes and merchants closing up with their days earnings. Hardly a sound came from the town.

[Elliot Skythorn]

Elliot could not happen but to smile as he got pulled into the room, the window was open, soft breeze gently rubbing against him made him remember that Zulrav blessed him with yet another happy memory. Even if it was not the doing of his god, he never the less found some wierd need to thank him for this day, for this hope, and for a friend like Tiza.

Elliot grew attached to people easily, therefore he was not really the one to make himself lose contact with someone. Somehow he thought that is the only reason he could not leave the moment she climbed up those stairs and closed the door behind her. It kept bugging him that he could not bring himself to let go of long lost things, and so he sat on the bed, looking through the unblocked part of the window, hoping for some more breeze.

He spoke softly almost as if he was sleepy: "I don`t really want to sleep right now" it was an absurd sentance, yet he really did not want to sleep, it was too boring somehow.

[Tiza]

Another breeze blew in, this time Tiza smiled and let the breeze go through her hair. She seemed to be a serene and peaceful person. Tiza looked back at Elliot wondering what his story is. Wondering why Elliot was here and the things he has done. She sighed and stood up and walked around seeming bored. She walked to the bed and sat down

"So why are you here?I meen you seem like a nice enough guy"

She put her hand in her pocket holding something, it peaked Elliots interest not in a nosy way but in an interested type way

[Elliot Skythorn]

As he got grazed by her look, he knew what she was going to ask, and when she did, he wondered should he lie to her, tell her a rather happy tail, or just lay some truth on her. The truth won, since even if it did not, she would probbably not buy those bad lies of his.

He sighsed slowly before what he knew was gonna be one hell of a long speech, and so he began: "A long time ago my family got ambushed by a bunch of thugs, they died, i survived. They said i was not even worth killing, and how they are all dead, i wish it was by my hand, but it was not, i was too late, Zulrav already did the job for me. Therefore i worship him, the smith of thunder, and the brewer of storms, the avenger of my family" he paused a bit removing the black glove from his left hand, he took a deep breath before continuing: "I got these in the fight for our lives, which i lost, but was spared anyway" taking in a deep breath again, he showed her both of his hands keep the palm of his right hand turned towards her, so that she could see the "eye".

His trailed off voice from before now got back into a whispery tone: "And here i am now" he blinked a couple of times, still not sure did he say too much before laying back on the bed carelessly.

[Tiza]

Tiza frowned some then pushed Elliot playfully. She tried to cheer you up thinking Elliot was sad or something. Her eyes stared at Elliot wondering what he would do next or say next. Both Elliot and Tiza were somewhat alike in their backgrounds. Tiza poked the eye on Elliots hand wondering what it was.

"Well everything is okay now right? What is that eye on your hand? Is that the symbol of a god? I worship Eywaat myself"

Eywaat was the bird god wasnt he? Seemed to make sense since her other form WAS a bird. Maybe she had a special attachment to him? Maybe not. But she stood up and went in a closet or a place where she could be hidden. Elliot saw a flash of light then a beautiful white bird come from where she was. The bird sat on the window soaking up the breeze.
