Surya glanced over him a moment as he spoke, noting his voracious appetite absently. She’d only seen one person eat like that… so it surprised her a little bit. Still she said nothing of it, simply eating the last few pieces of her meet absently. She walked over to the water basin and began to wash her hands and gloves, answering him while looking over her shoulder at him.
“.. My name is Surya Lune, and I have no real reason for staying at the Inn… just passing through really….” She murmured, tilting her head to the side. One cat like ear twitched absently before she murmured softly “What about you?” She was studying him now, curiosity on her face but not much else. Whether she felt more… only her pet knew and he wasn’t telling. |
"Me? I'm Eramthgin Lanrete, though no one really calls me that. Something about it being hard to pronounce or some other nonsense..." He answered airily. So the castle's an inn now? That's a strange fate for a castle...but he didn't really care. If anything, he hoped the inn would be open for a long time on so he could have free food for many years, if the owner doesn't mind him devouring nearly all the meat. And maybe he could somehow leak out the rumor of treasure down in the dungeons...maybe adventurers would start coming again. |
I knew a man named Eram once… do you mind me calling you that/” She asked offhandedly, smiling faintly about how he said it was hard to pronounce. Honestly she had to admit it was in a way… but she’d lived with an elf once so had heard much harder. She could manage his name if he requested it but she really preferred shorter names herself…
She watched his hungry treatment of the blood absently, not betraying her inner thoughts. He reminded her… of some unpleasant memories. Stilll his happy grin pulled a similar smile to her own lips, rather enjoying his friendly manner though she wasn’t so sure about trusting him…. Then again there were few she did trust… and most of them were animals… “It is a pleasure” She answered his remark, bowing slightly in a habitual type way. She then walked to perch on the end of a table while putting a few more crackers in her bag. She heard the rat in her bag shuffle around to retrieve them with a happy but quiet squeak. She smiled faintly to herself, almost lovingly as she much enjoyed her rat… |
"Sure, I'll just call you Surya then, since it doesn't seem to be the custom of most creatures here to call each other by the full name." Or maybe it was just a strange habit of his, to use full names with people. But since the girl, Surya, seemed to prefer shorter names, he might as well return the favor. |
“Thank you Eram” she said quietly, smiling faintly. Using a nickname… It kinda made her feel like a friend. Of course caution and something else kept her from making friends most of the time but that didn’t mean she couldn’t enjoy the feeling now and then… even if most of the time it was rather false. She didn’t mind when people called her by her full name but it just seemed…awkward to her somehow.
As he asked of her rat she blushed almost and giggled a little. “Well… that’d be jade…among other things.” She glanced to the bag. “He is a useful, sweet little pet… I love him dearly…” with that admission she laughed, knowing not many would think of a rat like she thought of him… |
((I've actually had two laboratory white rats as pets back in elementary, they were sooooo cute! One was named Lisa and the other Touchy. I was really sad when they died...:())
|
((hehe I had a white rat once, He died of a lung disease but he was the cutest sweetest thing. I have another rat now <3 she’s brown and white though. It’s funny to me that rat’s have this really bad rep as being bitey/mean but I have yet to even run into a domesticated one that bites XD. Just sweet ones that lick and love being petted lol))
Surya nodded gently, biting her lip in uncertainty. She was a cat with a rat pet…in a kitchen… not something that usually garnered positive reactions. Still she reached into her bag and pulled out the rat, who sat on her palm, his cracker held in his tiny paws. He glanced at Eram, briefly studying him up and down. He smelled like a predator to the small being but he knew his mistress would protect him well….She always did. |
((My pets never bite me after a while o.o When I first meet them, they'd try to chomp on me, but after a while they just stop...I could even put the tip of my finger inside Touchy's mouth and he wouldn't bite XD I can't wait to get myself a snake someday, my ultimate dream pet...*sighs dreamily*))
|
((hehe snakes are interesting but so many require feeding them other living things T.T I prefer herbivores or something you can feed kibble myself XD. ))
Surya nodded lightly to the first, slowly putting him back in her bag before a cook or housekeeper could see him. She smiled gently a moment before looking back to Eram. She tilted her head to the side a moment only to nod. “Yes… I’ve never seen any other green eyed rat. I’m not sure where he’s from either…. He was a gift from a friend…” She trailed off, looking almost sad a moment before shaking it off. She then studdied him in thought, not so sure about how his eyes lit up. “Do you have a pet?” She asked curiously, sounding friendly enough… |
((Yeah, feeding them live stuff is a pain, I'm wondering if it's possible to get myself an egg-snake...All I'd have to do is buy myself eggs and I'd be able to keep it live and happy > w >;;))
|
((good luck hehe))
Surya watched him for a moment, silent and digesting his words. She was a distrustful person…. But he seemed genuine enough… Slowly she nodded, glancing at the roof. “You should get another then…animals…they really only seem to demand a little affection and food…you just have to find the right one for you…” Trailing off she shrugged, looking back to Eram with that same curious, thoughtful expression as earlier… |
((Thanks! http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/m.../icon_whee.gif))
|
Surya shrugged gently as he asked her his question, glancing at the floor in thought. “Perhaps it would be best…. To find an animal that needs you. IN the forest you find animals in trouble often…but it is just a suggestion…now if you will excuse me” She cursied slightly in an almost playfully fashion before walking to the other side of the room where the tea things were kept. She began making a pot, singing to herself under her breath.
|
He blinked. He hadn't thought of it that way. The creatures in the dungeons were mostly of the meanest kinds, depending only on themselves and never on others. That does explain why they would reject him then...interesting. |
Surya nodded slowly, pointing towards the liquor cabinet and watching him a moment. “Be careful…” Was all she said before returning to her own work. She soon had a pot of the pleasant smelling tea and poured herself a cup. She would take the cup out to the porch. Sitting there in thought and sipping it gently. She was thinking now… partially of memories, partially of the future… she was uncertain….. Was she really right to give such advice all things considered? She wasn’t so sure…
|
Happily, he went over to the cabinet and opened it, and for a moment looked in awe at the glistening glass bottles of wine inside. This was better than he had expected, most of the drinks he had were the the diluted kind that came in mugs. These were the ones that you had to drink with a glass. He licked his lips happily and grabbed a bottle, popping the cork with a clawed finger and taking a swig. Ahhh...sweet, good wine. He was starting to like the owner of the inn more and more, whoever it was, he or she sure knew how to make their inhabitants happy. |
((*nudges* Has this been forgotten already? D:)) |
((forgoten no xD just didnt' know what to put since my char's sitting out on a porch >.>))
|
((Hmm...maybe a small time skip, and we're both out the kitchen/porch and wandering around somewhere else? :P)) |
((heh if you want to do a time skip feel free ^.^, sounds good to me ))
|
((Ok then, I'm too bored for my own good...XD;;))
|
((lol nice :P . XD ))
Surya Lune had been walking to her room when she spotted the man from earlier, eyeing the wine bottles he was carrying. He looked like an alcoholic… Shaking her head she sighed, coughing slightly to get his attention. She didn’t trust him… then again that was pretty normal. Right now, however, her cat like eyes were narrowed on him, her face passive as ever. The part feline woman was uncertain… but wouldn’t do anything. This was not her Inn, it was not her responsibility to manage it… besides perhaps he had gotten permission though she doubted it. |
His eyes darted over to where the female was standing at the sound of her cough, hand frozen in mid-swing to bring the bottle up to his lips. Then his face abruptly split into a wide grin. |
Really, it wasn't on his to do list. But Loki did require rest and food. He had to keep up his strength and after all of that magic draining energy he had been subject to weeks ago, he was surprised to find that he had the strength to move, and even still the strength to stay up.. He had hunted. Once. A small deer, easy to bring down but it had not sated the hunger deep within him nor had it done much to restore his lost energy. For the moment he padded on four feet, the form a large vicious looking wolf, though Loki didn't feel very vicious at the moment. Once the Inn had come into view of those crimson eyes he shifted. The shift was seamless and easy. Both forms natural to him. Neither form requiring much energy to shift between as they were two halves of the whole.
Black wolf ears twitched atop his head and that tail hung limp, tiredly behind him. The only sign of his mood. Without hesitation that wolf demon shoved the doors open and slipped inside. Glancing to the Kobold at what was obviously the check in desk, he licked his lips and slipped past. Even now. Kobold looked delicious to him. A creature he would usually avoid eating, they tasted foul..A shiver ran down his spine and Loki inhaled deeply. Following the scents that would lead him to the kitchens. Food could be gotten there. Perhaps not Elven hearts, but still, if he ingested enough meat his strength would return properly. |
Keitaro rolled out of his bed after sometime and headed out into the hallway. Locking the door behind him and tucking the key into his pocket with a small smile.
He had rested enough and it was time to take a look around this place. His ears facing forwards he headed down the stairs, large hands gripping the rail carefully. "When you walk...through a storm " Keitaro sang softly under his breath, "Hold your head....up high..". He was walking through the lobby now headed off down the hall away from the kitchen still singing quite nicely, voice echoing through the halls. |
