Dawn at the Ruin

[Palthera]

*Crystal smiles*

Well it was slightly disconcerting when you didn't.

*She kneels down beside him and puts her arms around his neck in a hug*

I'm glad you're back. It was too confusing having your face on another personality.
Besides, it would have been annoying having to explain the difference between snakes and lizards again. *she grins over his shoulder*

*Vau, hesitantly at first, gently returns her embrace. Then he holds her for a moment as the tenseness disappears from him.*

Seem like *rrr* explain harder things first...

*Though Crystal is not looking she can feel the sudden flush of heat to his face.*

I ...glad you alive *rrr* was ... difficult being away. What happen? You win? *rrr*

The Communion worked yes and the Archduke got un-duked. Robert Blackstone is King so at least he has an excuse for posing now. I killed the High Primate of Krygan in that alternate reality thing in Sintel, which was... uncomfortable and then very satisfying.

Oh, yes, just so you know. Captain Loken killed my evil other half in that reality and took her head as a trophy. He may or may not show it to you but.... just so you don't overreact. Since I'm me and not dead. She's just someone who happens to have the same face as me.

How was Oluthen?

[Vau]

*He releases her nervously, but his hand reaches for hers subconsciously.*

Evil other half? *rrr* like kaalgrisch say "this my other half"? but same face? *rrr*

Glad victorious, sorry I not get back in time. Was trying but *rrr* head smashed into wall several time by *growl* abomination... forgot why needed come back but... felt drawn here.

Uncomfortable *rrr* why?

Do you remember that strange mission we went on where the Templars were all demons and the Griffin Knights were all women? It was a strange world where every person had a double, mine worked for the evil King as part of his elite guard and also as a recruiter.

*Crystal grins*

Uncomfortable because he had a blessed spear covered in venom. I must have been poisoned by that thing about ten times over the two days cause he got away from me the first time. He was the evil double of Alina's deceased husband.

Oddly, Captain Loken's other half was a High Father of Vleybor... *Crystal smiles crookedly*

And I'm glad you felt drawn back here, or else it could have been a long while before I decided you had had something bad happen to you and came to find out what was wrong.

[Vau]

*Takes her hand gingerly.*

Think understand, like what Traldan High Father say about *rrr* many worlds were fate woven different. *rrr* Some worlds I dead, some I worse, ... maybe somewhere I better?

*Looks thoughtful*

Is almost *rrr* parallel to I being Tier and Vau.

*rrr* Is good I remember at least it important I come back... *rrr* Yet in end you have rescued I when metaphor: lost once again.

*Crystal wrinkles her nose and grins*

I know when you're being metaphorical Vau. And I'm sure you would have remembered everything eventually, but I can be terribly impatient at times. Besides, conversation with Tier was just odd. I like Vau much better.

[Vau]

*Gives her a brief smile, and sustains the blush at her words.*

Sorry Crystal-az is habit from puhkluruk to say krulkul when use metaphor *rrr* so other person know not meant literal.

Time as Tier... strange. *rrr* Was like was when first join mercenary guild. *rrrrr* learn much more about kaalgrisch since, but worse was no one taught more to I than you. *rrr* Have meta... *rrr* have come long way since first met. Have feelings now that *rrr* never imagined when young.

*Crystal grins*

I think that's supposed to be part of growing up. Seems odd to think of you as just a mercenary, since you were Defender already when we all came back to Ithron. Already known and mostly respected, although I suppose it makes sense that no one is born with the personality they'll have once grown up.

*she smiles slyly*

Who knows what I'll be like when I eventually get around to it.

[Vau]

*Vau tilts his head slightly*

Remember saying you warrior *rrr* you already mature. *rrr* Is part I not really understand still, but guess kaalgrisch afford not rush to adult because likely live longer. *rrrrr* Difficult still as you amongst wisest and *rrr* insightful of all know I.

*For a rare moment he touches her cheek briefly with his other hand as he looks into her eyes.*

Hope we still both in Arda *rrr* when 'get around to it'.

*At the limits of his courage Vau's eyes almost immedietely flicker down again.*

*Crystal smiles wryly*

My father says its a sometimes a side effect of being a half elf. The body can grow up almost as fast as a human, but sometimes the mind can take a bit longer to get there. And vice versa.

Grandmother *she grimaces* well, quite a lot of people, say I still talk too much and listen too little and she hopes I'll grow out of it. Fighting doesn't really require any sort of maturity, I'm strong enough to hold a sword and shield, what more is there?

[Vau]

Uruk obvious not place much worth on anything *rrr* but being strong enough to hold weapon. Only need mind for tactics, which often is afterthought. *rrrrr* Though young uruk not have burden of moknûrzum that come as get *rrr* mature.

*Vau shakes his head irritated at the fuzziness and regretfully lets go of her hand as if it had overstayed its welcome.*

If hungry I could hunt, *rrrrr* bring you food for change?

*Crystal grins*

Only if you can stand and walk about without falling over. Fuzziness can't be good when hunting. I know that hunting seraklanites after spending a night time in a trapped and haunted house was much harder than if I'd been properly awake.

[Vau]

*Vau nods*

Will wait for short time then Crystal-az will be *rrrrr* 'sensible'.

*Looks saddened suddenly.*

Kaalgrisch defender from Nippon has passed? *rrr* Seem remember said while was Tier? How many more while *rrr* met... gone?

*Crystal shrugs*

I'm not sure, I know about eleven died when an attack was made on the compound. But I don't know who was there. One of my militia died, an elven scout.
Our NIpponese friend died when we were in a place called the Utterdark I think... it just sucked his last bit of life out of him when he was bleeding. He turned into a zombie as well, and I'm told there wasn't enough of his soul left to lay him to rest.

*she sighs*

I think the Marshal may have died too but I'm not sure...
