Osd had used the fact that everybodies attention had been on the unconcious girl to look around a bit. The orphinage looked pretty much like every other sunberthian housing. Worn, shoddily build and ready to collaps without constant maintenance. Same for the furniture inside of it. 'Whoever is building this shyke needs to be drowned. Petching lazy work it is.' He thought with a scowl. He didn't know much about building stuff other then blacksmithing and at times patching a leak in the roof of his masters smithy. But he guessed that with some work even he could get a better building up then this pile of shyke.

He picked up a few words from the woman's conversation. Biting back a derisife snort when she called him a savior. As if, he just had been bored and pissed enough to interviene with the bastards. He wasn't a goody goody two shoes like those knights he heard about sometimes. If there had been more guy's or if they hadn't been drunk of their arse he would have just kept his own life and minded his own bussines. He wasn't a good person in the least! Still, he couldn't help to feel a bit satisfied when she told it like that though. But he quickly tried to push it down. Good people got crushed here.

Then the woman left. Leaving only him and the kid. He would have been fine just waiting till he was sure the little kid was mostly fine and then leaving, just keeping a bit of an eye on her before the woman came back. Unfortunally for him, the girl had other plans. She crawled out of her bed and unsteadily walked the few steps over to him and hugged him tightly.

“er.. Yer welcome?” Osd didn't know what to say, he spent his entire life either beating metal or beating fleshy people in this shykehole of a place. He doubted either of those things could help him out when a sick child was clinging to him.Especially a child that could burst out in tears any moment.
“Yeah, I'm osd. Nice meeting ya?” He dumbly replied, not really knowing what to say. “What do you mean with that. Stay here till that fish woman comes back?” he had seen the gils and scales on that woman, no way she was a normal human. Unless she had been in some kind of freak accident back when she was a kid.
“I can stay here till she comes back. But you gotta get back in bed though. You puked out a lot of the alcohol they poured into ya. But yer small and who knows what else was in the bottle. So lie down.” He didn't wait for an answer but simpely picked up the younger girl and put her back to bed. “Speaking of hurling.” He looked around the room, hoping to find a bowl of some kind where she could puke into if there was another wave coming. Eventually he settled on a vase that looked pretty ugly in his opinion. He dragged it over towards the bedside. “If you feel another wave coming up just puke in this. Butt ugly thing anyway. Can't have that much value.”

The blond girl ignored Osd's remark regarding Calyn, she also found her to be fish-like, with her gills and scales but Rachel assumed calling her 'fish-woman' would be insulting, if she remembered correctly, her race was called 'Konti'. In normal circumstances, Rachel would remind Osd to call her 'Konti' instead of 'fish-woman', but she didn't have the capacity at the moment. The girl rubbed her cheek on Osd's chest, whispering, "No... stay here forever..." It was an absurd request, but she didn't realize it.

The girl hung her head in disappointment when Osd told her he would only stay until Calyn came back, but made no words of protest, Osd had done more than enough by saving her and bringing her back to the Orphanage, and here she was, demanding him to stay. She let him pick her up and bring her to the bed, the girl watched him dragged a vase for her to puke on, Rachel slowly shook her head, "Madame will get angry..." She was basically a freeloader in the orphanage, damaging an equipment, no matter how worn it was, was foolish.

Still not willing to part with the boy, Rachel's right hand reached out and grabbed his hand, squeezing it firmly... in her mind, to Osd, it would feel like a weak hold. "Can I see you again?" She didn't want this to be the first and last time they ever see each other, she wanted to know him more, after she recovered of course, her mind was mush at the moment and forming thoughts required considerable amount of effort.

OOCYou can decide when Calyn returns, Osd.

and once she does, I imagine it would be the last post for the thread? If yes, if you want me to post it for grading, just make an OOC note or PM me!

Asking an almost complete stranger to stay forever. It baffled the young lad's mind. Strangers were people to be feared and used. Not to be begged for help. Not in this shykehole of a town. Then again, while he was a complete stranger to her. Didn't he help her out, maybe that was why she was so trusting now. That or it was just the alcohol. It probably was, no child of sunberth was this trusting.
“ It's easier to clean up then the floor. Less messy as well.” He said, not caring about the fact he might be pissing of the fishlady. If she got angry at him for not letting a charge of her puke all over the floor then she was being dumb. He let her grab a hold of his hand. A bit concerned at the weak grip. “Sure we can see each other again. Just focus on getting better now and get some rest.” He gave her a pat on the head with the one had she didn't have a hold on.

Osd heard the door open and the fish woman of a while ago stepped through. “Yes. She needs her rest now. Sleep off the hangover she is going to have. Maybe it's time you let her rest.” The fishwoman made her way towards the side of the girl with her bowl of hot water.

“Yeah, probably.” Osd said as he stood up. Carefully extracting his hand from the girls grip. “I still got some chores to do for my boss anyway.” He gave rachel another pat on the head. “So yeah, get some sleep. I'll check up on ya when you're better or something.” He walked over to the door and got out. Making his way back to the forge.

OOCAlright, this should be my closing post for the thread then! Thank you for threading with me!

The blond girl weakly nodded at Osd, though she was smiling because he promised her reunion, he might be saying it out of whim and would not truly keep his word, but Rachel was used to see the optimistic side of things, Priskil would like that. A friend of the Goddess of Hope should never despair or at least, always recover from it. As she lay on the bed, Rachel felt drowsiness creeping in, damn those men, she promised herself to never drink anymore of those foul liquid. "Okay..." Rachel slowly tugged on his hand when he patted her head, on cue with Calyn's entrance.

She didn't want Osd to leave, but Calyn was right, she could pass out any moment, her vision was getting blurry, the sip of hot water Calyn gave her eased her mind and body as she relaxed, she watched Osd's form getting farther away, he was leaving, but it would not be the last time they'd see each other, he promised her that.
