Same Differences [Aleksi]

"There you go girl. Drink up." Eldon Sunkiss, coincidentally of the Sunkiss pavilion, slowly set down a large barrel full of crystal clear, pure, water. His strider, a strong beautiful girl by the name of Vanah, only too willing to drink heartily. Life on the Sea of Grass was commonly a dry one, and with the changing seasons at hand, the air was growing cooler, hydration was ever more important. Eldon, being a reimancer of the the Sapphire clan, was always pumping water from his body for the sake of the Drykas people. Still though, his own family always came first, Vanah being one of them.

Eldon stood up as he groaned, stretching his arms behind his back for a brief moment before moving to the side of the horse. Sunkiss ran his fingers across the horse's thigh, brushing across the obvious scarring that had occurred on the Great Hunt. He still blamed himself entirely for letting such a thing happen. Lionesses, who would have thought they'd show up? Nevertheless, she lived, he lived, their hunting party all lived. "You know, Vanah, I haven't seem Sam in a while. It's a bit dull without having somebody to talk with." Eldon grinned lightly as he slowly moved away. He was supposed to be delivering a barrel of water somewhere, but he forgot where long ago. Vanah was distracting.

Same Differences [Aleksi]

Postby Aleksi on November 28th, 2010, 1:58 am

Aleksi sat on a rock nearby, gently scratching Luc's head and catching a bit of the "conversation" that was happening before her. The horse caught her eye as soon as they came by, and the man... even though she was not fond of Drykas men, or well, men in general, seemed pretty... harmless in her eyes

She lazily stood up, slowly moving towards them and keeping Luc close to her by his necklace.
It was quite unusual for her to walk up to someone, but after almost 30 days out in the wilderness, without anyone to talk to, she felt like meeting someone new

"Hello", she whispered as her eyes went straight to the horse "It's a lovely one.... dare I to ask what brought the scar?", her fingers moved down, pointing at the ground after what Luc sat still, right next to her right leg.

Same Differences [Aleksi]

Eldon slowly turned his head to see Aleksi, a fairly attractive girl that he didn't quite recall, though it was difficult to memorize thousands of faces. He frowned lightly as she mentioned the scars on Vanah. Eldon paused for a moment, following the words to the healed over wound of the majestic creature, he once again ran his hand across the scarred leg. "She took a claw from a Lioness during the Great Hunt." Eldon glanced at Aleksi, grinning lightly as he did so, his eyes occasionally falling down to the creature she commanded. "We were hunting a herd of Olidosapux when the Lionesses attacked them, without thinking it through, I drove Vanah to intercept them, and incidentally got her wounded." Eldon's face turned slightly pink for a moment. His story exposed his fault as a hunter in that hunt, which could have gotten him and his strider killed. A scar was forever the reminder of what happened.

"Well, anyway. I'm Eldon of the Sunkiss Pavilion. Who are you?" Eldon would have shaken hands with intent to size up the newcomer if he was a man, Eldon always had that arrogant challenging air about him whenever he met someone new (other men that is), but since the situation was different he merely flashed a smile and pawed idly at the back of his head, awaiting some sort of response.

Aleksi nodded and lifted her left eyebrow "That was a bit unthoughtful of you.... but we do all make mistakes", idly moving her fingers over Luc's head as her eyes were locked on the horse's scar. It was strange how she hated scars on animals and admired her own.

Her eyes moved up the man slowly, looking at him with no emotions as she answered his question I'm Aleksi, of the Diamond clan and currently no Pavilion, her hand moved forward. It was obvious that she was about to shake his hand, just like she was used to with other Drykas men, since she was considered one of them. As always, being looked at as a woman was not something she expected.

Her hand moved back though as soon as she saw his moving at the back of his head I see you haven't really heard of the strange thing in the Diamond clan everyone tends to talk about...., shaking her head, she frowned lightly and adjusted the whip attached to her left hip

Eldon cocked his head slightly to the side as he continued to stare at Aleksi. "Strange thing? I guess not. I've been kept pretty busy at the Watering Hole and on the Great Hunt. I wouldn't know much about whatever they're talking about. I don't particularly talk to them " Eldon left out that he had been distracted heavily by his long lost cousin's return and various other concerns that had been flooding his mind. Those are things he tended to push down, deep down, and refused to tell anybody about. Eldon's eyes didn't miss the subtle movement of her hand on her hip, a whip? That was definitely an odd thing for a Drykas to have, or so Eldon thought. It didn't do much for a Strider, since they were so great at communicating with their riders. A whip, he thought, wasn't particularly an amazing weapon. Maybe she was one of them that promoted or accepted slavery? Unlikely.

"What's that for?" Eldon pointed at her waist as she readjusted the whip. He was shameless to ask about her it seemed. "Are you the Strange thing you mentioned?" Not afraid to ask at all.

Aleksi laughed quietly at his question, slowly pulling her whip up and looking at it. That thing always had the same effect on her. It brought a huge smile on her face.
Her eyes met his for a second before she added quietly
"This here is a reminder to every Zith out there that they shouldn't mess with the wrong girls..."
She hated slavery, she hated anyone out there thinking they have any wright to take her freedom away just because she is a woman.

Shaking that thought out of her head and looking down at Luc, she noticed he had the same "expression" as when they've just been hunting and of course got their trophies.

"Oh and, yes I am.", her voice calm and soft, not something you'd expect from a hunter and a warrior, but then again, this man didn't know that. He knew her as a woman, just one more Drykas woman.

Eldon stared quizzically at Aleksi's rather odd smile when she mentioned the Zith. The Zith, a creature he still had not seen but heard so much of. Kayiri had experienced a Zith, and now this girl had? Eldon must either be lucky, or just worked too much at what he did. He shrugged lightly, unsure of what he should say. "You'd think they know better than to mess with any Drykas. Warriors, riders, survivors, inside and out." Eldon nodded to himself as he spoke, as if he had blessed Aleksi with some amazing logic or story she never would have heard before.

"You know, just telling me that people talk about you doesn't really satisfy my curiosity at all." Eldon could imagine that the whip and Zith story was just a cover-up for some secret and despicable life she had. Assumptions were rarely correct though. "Anyway, I haven't seen you around here before Aleksi. You looking for anything specifically?" Eldon rose an eyebrow as he continued to watch the girl. It was fairly common for the Drykas people to seek his Pavilion, along with many others, for water. An infinitely valuable resource for the nomads on the Sea of Grass.

Aleksi laughed at the comment about Ziths. It was quite true, Drykas people were the best survivors and warriors in Mizahar, but sometimes, their pride was bigger then their brains.
"I guess I looked like a cute, little slave girl to them", shaking her head she sighed softly. Her encounter with a Zith wasn't pretty, but like for any other battle, she was proud of it.

"You know what they say.... Curiosity killed the cat", forcing a somewhat teasing smile, she pushed her dark hair over her shoulders. It was an unusual mess, probably because she was playing with it for almost two hours before she started talking to this man.

Well, I've been around all my life... I just haven't been getting much attention, or well, I was running away from it...., she shrugged lightly and rolled her eyes before continuing to speak
I'm not looking for anything specific though. Most women tend to get married in my age so I'm being bugged about it, but Luc and I are doing just fine hunting around.... It's what we love the most

Curiosity killed the cat, an interesting phrase, rolled off the tongue well enough, but Eldon can't say that he either heard it, nor made the connection to the story she told, if it could be called a story at all. He pondered it a moment, and when he gave up on trying to decipher it, he simply had to ask. "Is that a Diamond Clan thing? I don't think I've heard it before. Sounds like curiosity is pretty dangerous to cats though. I guess." An awkward laugh was all Eldon had to offer, it was an uncomfortable feeling though. Thankfully, Aleksi moved onto herself a little more, rather than cats and curiosity and such. Cats, Eldon didn't know two licks about cats. Saying that they were rare in Endrykas was an understatement.

"I know what you mean... the marriage thing that is. I don't know much about attention nor running from it, but I've already hit my prime. So damn busy that I can't find time to... find someone." How was a Drykas man supposed to say that he couldn't find a mate when there was twice as many, if not more, women than men in the whole traveling city? It was just a disgrace. However, it was true that Eldon was pretty busy with his training in Reimancy, but to say that he couldn't find a single mate when others were claiming seconds was absurd. There had to be more to the story.

Aleksi giggled at Eldon's comment about the phrase. She didn't know where it came from, but it was quite true. Her hand moved down to her necklace, adjusting it since it moved from the middle of her chest.

"I understand what you mean by that.... not having time... or will", she shook her head, frowning and rolling her eyes"To be honest, sometimes I'm a bit ashamed of the fact that I'm Drykas..... No offence, but most Drykas men are rather stupid... especially the guards and really popular ones"

She looked up and down Eldon, tilting her head with a raised brow. It was a bit unusual, no matter what kind of a man to see one without a partner.
"I'm quite surprised though, to hear that from a man.... I would expect at least two around you, at the age I'd say you were.."
