Mia 46, 81381 Shyodhsvol Yma stepped out of the docking areas where he'd only just arrived in Aurius and was now ready to explore it. He couldn't help but feel a little claustrophobic in this place, with water surrounding him on all sides, but he took a deep breath and managed to contain himself. Shyodhsvol Yma had decided to continue his pilgrimage to this place due to the basic curiosity of which deities they mainly worshipped here. He didn't know himself, and being a typical loner he didn't bother asking anyone else. He would just sight see and find all the churches himself, visiting each one for awhile and likely only staying here for two or three days unless he found something extraordinary. He didn't expect to. On this day as he made his way he couldn't help but notice how much taller all of the other dragons were. Not that he cared much, but he couldn't help but feel insignificant. He sighed and continued his way, realizing just then that he was actually quite hungry. Shyodhsvol Yma had a habit of eating only once every couple of days and it seemed that his body required food just then. He made for the first restaurant he could find and stepped inside. It wasn't a busy place, more cafe-like. A sign near the entrance said 'Please Seat Yourself,' so he did. A few moments later a pretty young waitress came and asked if he needed anything, so he ordered water and a modest sandwich. Despite the fact that Shyodhsvol Yma only ate every so often he found his body didn't require much. Then he sat and waited for the food to arrive. He decided then to ask her what churches were in the area when she came back that way when he was finished he could get on his way to seeing them.
"<span style='color:red'>Well here i am......at aurius.....never thought i would make it</span>." razorback said to himself as he shifted his swords around so he would be more comfterble while walking off the docking area.Razorback had almost missed the sub there because he woke up late and had to fly twice as fast and hard to make it in time for boarding but he did with 10 minutes to spare so he bought a bottle of water to take with him. As he walked along he rumaged about his bag and pulled out a piece of paper with a restaurant address on it. After finding it on the tourist map he got from the sub he walked along the street till he got to it and went inside. Lookimg around he saw that most of the tables were taken then he noticed a feydragon sitting alone at one of the tables so razorback walked over and asked"<span style='color:red'>do you mind if i sit here or are you waitng for someone?</span>" Razorback then proceeded to take his flamberge off his back and rest it against the wall. occ:sorry if it took so long i am trying to organise a workplace at the moment but im still here and also the flamberge is a two handed sword if your wondering. im a sword geek :)
Shyodhsvol Yma looked up at the pendragon who towered nearly two and a half feet over him. He was quite big, and slightly aggressive looking with the huge sword she carried with him, but Shyodhsvol Yma felt as though there was nothing to fear from him and certainly didn't mind the company so he motioned for him to sit. <span style='color:gray'>"I've already taken my order,"</span> Shyodhsvol Yma said quietly and politely, <span style='color:gray'>"But I'm sure you can order something the next time the waitress stops by."</span> He then sat a looked for a moment, not knowing what else to talk of really. Shyodhsvol Yma had always been bad at striking up conversations with other pendragons. Speaking actually made him slightly nervous. Shyodhsvol Yma started twiddling his thumbs for lack of anything better to do, but then he noticed some salt spilled on the table. He took a few moments to wipe it into a napkin with a second napkin when he realized he hadn't introduced himself. <span style='color:gray'>"How rude of me. My name's Shyodhsvol Yma."</span>
"<span style='color:red'>Greetings shyo my name is razorback and do not be scared even though these swords are real i only use them in self-defence</span>" razorback stated as he sat down and the waitress came over and asked him what he would like. After ordering a serving of fish and chips razorback turned back to shyo and asked "<span style='color:red'>so what brings you to aurius sight seeing, a holiday or are you just bored</span>?"while waiting for his meal to arrive. After the waitress placed his order in front of him razorback noticed that shyo was looking rather nervous "<span style='color:red'>hey man you ok you look rather nervous something bothering you and if it's about being mugged or anything like that i will gladly walk with you but i need to check in at the hotel i made reservations at is that ok with you i'll even let you carry one of my swords for protection......what do you say</span>?" asked razorback concerned.
Shyodhsvol Yma chuckled a little at the last bit, <span style='color:gray'>"I seriously don't think I could carry one of those swords for very long."</span> Shyodhsvol Yma was glad that his new companion seemed concerned with how he was feeling. He began eating his food as well, a simple salad. He tended to eat a little slow, but it was paced so that the salad would fill him up. He then regarded some of the other things Razorback had said and finally gave his answer, <span style='color:gray'>"Actually I'm here to visit the different churches in the area. I'm a theologian. I'm actually not all that worried about getting mugged either. I have nothing worth taking."</span> He chewed another mouthful of food before continuing, <span style='color:gray'>"You'll have to excuse me though. I'm not really used to company, so I'm sorry if I seem nervous. I can accompany you to your hotel though. I actually don't have one I'm staying at yet, and since I'll be here a few days I'll likely need one."</span>
"<span style='color:red'>Heh i've known pendragons to steal from others just for fun so i'll walk with you anyway</span>" Razorback said as he munched on a chip slowly realising that shyo didnt have a hotel room he said "<span style='color:red'>Save yourself some money my hotel room is a standered two bedroom suite with a tv and a gaming console plus it has a minibar so come stay with me because your looking at a lot of money for a single room and the only reason i got my room cheaper is because i am helping the kitchen staff prepare a banquet or something like that for someone and they asked my to come on this day kind of wierd if you ask me</span>" razorback said thoughtfully whilst eating the rest of his meal. when the waitress came over he paid for the meal and asked for a bowl of water when the waitress returned with the bowl razorback put on the floor un-sheathed his swords and laid them on the table. pulling out a small case from his bag he opened it and pulled out an assortment of stones after picking the roughest of the lot he picked up one of his katanas wet the stone and began running it along the blades cutting edge. he did this with the othe swords swapping the stone for a smoother one untill he was satisfied with the sharpness of the blades. shyo looked on with interest until razorback saw and chuckled "<span style='color:red'>Forgot to sharpen them last night after i fended off some muggers near my house as i was coming back from fishing</span>.""<span style='color:red'>They had swords too still they didn't know the first thing about sword fighting</span>." Razorback didn't know what to make of the look on shyo's face.
Shyodhsvol Yma watched thoughtfully as his new companion went about sharpening the great blades. He found it to be a very interesting procedure to watch, <span style='color:gray'>"If you would be willing to share your room I would be most gracious and honored."</span> Finished up his salad and paid for it with a semi-precious gemstone he'd acquired along his travels. He found many of them as he walked from place to place, and restaurants such as these found them to be suitable payment for the small meals he ate. <span style='color:gray'>"You must be quite a chef then, to be paid so well for your work. Not to mention granted that luxurious room for your entire stay, and I suppose you're right about muggers. It never hurts to travel in numbers so I will enjoy your company. Thank you. Anyway, I am finished here, so we can leave for your hotel as soon as you have finished with your swords."</span>
"<span style='color:red'>Ok then shall we get going shyo</span>?" replied razorback gesturing to the door. getting up they started to walk to the hoteland along the way razorback said "<span style='color:red'>I just need to get something from this store ill be back in about 5 minutes so here</span>." handing shyo one of his katanas and with that walked into the store hoping that giving shyo a sword to protect himself was a good idea. Walking up to the shop owner he asked if a package had arrived for him."<span style='color:purple'>name sir</span>?" asked the owner "<span style='color:red'>razorback</span>" replied razorback "<span style='color:purple'>lets see razorback...razorback...razor..AH!!! here we are... christ this weighs quiet a bit thats in here anyway</span>?" "<span style='color:red'>just my chef's knives, my antique swords and cookbooks</span>." "<span style='color:purple'>ah ok then if i can just see some identification and your signature i can hand over this box</span>." getting out his wallet and showing the owner then signing for the box he bid him farwell and a good day when he got outside he saw shyo surrounded by thugs. muttering to himself he calmly put the box down drew his flamberge and yelled "<span style='color:red'>YOU FUCKERS OVER THERE TO MESS WITH HIM YOUR GONNA HAVE TO GET THROUGH ME FIRST!!!!!!!!" </span>and with that razorback got into a fighting position as the thugs came running at him with macheetes and other sharp objects.
Shyodhsvol Yma more or less stood there as Razorback near-simultaneously handed him a sword and left him outside. He held onto the huge thing and found that he could barely lift it off of the ground. Shyodhsvol Yma knew absolutely nothing about fighting, much less did he want to know. As some shady looking characters began to take interest in him he began to wonder if he ought to be going inside before something bad happened, but then it became too late. <span style='color:orange'>"Give us your money old man. It's for your own protection."</span> Shyodhsvol Yma could barely find his voice he found himself to be quite scared, <span style='color:gray'>"I-I haven't m-much. I am here with a friend who's paying for me."</span> <span style='color:orange'>"Well, then we'll take what you've got and then see what your friend has to offer."</span> About then he heard Razorback yelling, and as the three thugs and Shyodhsvol Yma all turned to look Razorback was running headlong at the group of them with his weapons in position to use. Shyodhsvol Yma dropped to the ground, jettisoning the sword, and positioned himself into a ball with his hands over his head for his own protection. Though he couldn't see it, the thugs turned tail and ran. They really weren't that interesting in fighting such a ferocious arden with that big of a sword. There simply wasn't enough money in it. Shyodhsvol Yma heard the sound of their running and he lifted his head slightly to see if the coast was clear. Seeing it was he stood up dusted himself off. He noticed the sword that he'd dropped. He hoped he hadn't wrecked it at all, but he attempted to pick it up to return it to Razorback, <span style='color:gray'>"Sorry I dropped your sword."</span> They continued their walking to the hotel and Shyodhsvol Yma couldn't help but think about the fight and how it had turned out. Without looking at him Shyodhsvol Yma asked in a somewhat quiet voice, <span style='color:gray'>"You wouldn't have killed them, would you?"</span> <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>(OOC: Just two small things. First try not to control Shyo so much, and secondly and more minute is I don't think Christ is a very typical curse in Ramath-Lehi. They have different gods...)</span>
ooc: sorry i will try not to :) picking up the box razorback said "<span style='color:red'>no i know all the muscle groups and where to cut them so they become incapacitated i use my self defence methods to disable not kill......but....if they continue and i have no choices well........</span>" as he said this a tear fell from his cheek he quickly covered it up by lighting a cigarette hoping that shyo didnt see it. ooc again:sorry about short post but i have to strip my pc and see what needs upgrading :(
Shyodhsvol Yma breathed a sigh relief. He really couldn't appreciate violence at all, however he did know that on occasion it was the only answer such as only moments ago when he was nearly robbed, <span style='color:gray'>"I'm pleased to hear that Razorback."</span> There was an awkward moment of silence as he could tell that Razorback was slightly uncomfortable. He did notice the tear falling from Razorback's eye, but only silently did he appreciate it. He made no outward appearance of even knowing it existed. <span style='color:gray'>"I'm sorry if I've made you uncomfortable."</span> They continued walking, and he had to force himself to ignore his smoke. Again he made no outward show of agitation as to bother his companion, but it was definitely agitating his lungs a little.
"<span style='color:red'>well here we are</span>" said razorback loking up at the hotel handing shyo an extra key "<span style='color:red'>room 407 9th floor i hope your not afraid of hights</span>" chuckled razorback "<span style='color:red'>you go on ahead i have to get ready and cook the meals now so i wont be back till late ok</span>" and with that he walked into the kitchen's changing rooms got changed collected his knives and cookbooks an proceded to the accual kitchen walked up to the head chef and showed him the request from the hotel to help out and the chef said "<span style='color:orange'>ahhh g'day mate! heres the place you'll be cooking for the next 3 days so get settled as soon as you can because we're gonna have a cyclone of orders come through here before the days out</span>" said the pendragon which had sort of an australian accent rattus just sighed "<span style='color:red'>as if this day couldn't get any worse we were almost mugged on the way here</span>" "<span style='color:yellow'>hehe still carry those swords</span>?" quried the chef next to him "<span style='color:red'>yeah</span>" sighed razorback "<span style='color:green'>use them?" </span>asked another "<span style='color:red'>no thank goodness</span>" chuckled razorback as he sharpened his knives missing the shrpener and cutting his hand deeply "<span style='color:red'>FUCK!!!!!! MY HAND!!!!!!!!</span>" running to the first aid room dripping blood on his uniform and the floor one of the chefs fianted at the sight of the blood razorback had worked here in the past so the medical staff said "<span style='color:gray'>he's back</span>" when they heard him yelling as razorback came in crying clutching his hand "<span style='color:gray'>now that did you do this time huh? first your face after one of the chefs waved his knife around thank goodness he was sacked then the fire which if i remember you tried to put out only to get superficial burns and now this i swear you do this just to see us</span>!" "<span style='color:red'>t-t-t-thats n-not tr-u-ue</span>!" cried razorback "<span style='color:gray'>well lets have a look shall we?? ouch looks nasty</span>" muttered one nurse while washing it out with sterlized water razorback whimpered in pain "<span style='color:gray'>it'll need stitches</span>" "<span style='color:red'>WHAT OH HELL NO!!!!!</span>" "<span style='color:gray'>im afraid you have no choice</span>" "<span style='color:red'>b-b-b-b-but....</span>" "<span style='color:gray'>no buts here this will numb the pain</span>" sticking a syringe filled with seditives right into the wound razorback screamed in pain as they put the stitches in an covered the wound with padding they then sent him up to his room to find shyo unpacking "<span style='color:red'>had an accident but i should be ok for tomrrow</span>" muttered razorback sleeply then fell on the floor right where he stood and fell asleep.
Shyodhsvol Yma as he took the key, <span style='color:gray'>"I will likely be asleep when you return so please be quiet when you come in so I don't wake."</span> Razorback went off to find the kitchens and Shyodhsvol Yma made his way to the stairs and began the task of climbing them. It certainly wasn't going to be easy for he was small and the stairs not built for someone only more than two feet tall. He'd have flown the nine flights of stairs, but he didn't feel it polite to fly indoors, and personally he didn't enjoy flight much anyway. After thirty minutes of vigorous work he made it to the ninth floor and made his way to room four hundred and seven. It didn't take him nearly as long to find the room as it did for him to make it up the steps. He thrust the key into the lock and turned the handle. It opened effortlessly. He set his things down on one of the beds deciding that he would use that one for his stay. He then opened up a little knapsack that he carried around with him where ever he went and took out what few belongings he had. It was at that moment that Razorback burst into the room. He looked bewildered and Shyodhsvol Yma found himself to be taken aback at his sudden entrance since the pendragon wasn't supposed to have been back until late that night. <span style='color:red'>"Had an accident, but I should be okay for tomorrow,"</span> he said before collapsing onto the ground. Shyodhsvol Yma could only stare for a little while longer before he finally took action by going out in the hallway to search for some bellhop or other form of hotel staff to help get the arden into a bed.
"<span style='color:red'>ugh where am i and what happened to my hand</span>" groaned razorback he couldnt move a muscle "<span style='color:red'>shyo are you there? shyo? oh well he must be having breakfast or looking at the churches heh i wonder how the other chefs are coping with the work now that im not there</span>?" "<span style='color:gray'>so your awake</span>" said a female voice which razorback recognized as one of the thill nurses who stiched his hand razprback could now move a bit and was told to sit up so the thill nurse could remove the padding and gause covering the wound "<span style='color:gray'>this may sting a little</span>" she said as she carefully removed the gause "<span style='color:gray'>ah damn i had a feeling this would happen</span>" looking at the wound which had taken on a greenish color and had puss in the wound it smelt quite awful aswell "<span style='color:gray'>well all can do is give you a shot of powerful antibiotics and that should help but im going to stick the needle right in the wound for it to work straight away</span>" razorback nodded and braced himself for the pain after that the thill got fresh padding, gause and bandages to wrap up the wound because the padding and gause that was put on there was just to keep it clean till they could wrap it properly after that was done razorback checked his swrds and saw one was missing so he figured that shyo borrowed one "<span style='color:red'>well i had better get to work thank you for that i hope you have a good day and i suppose you will be here tomorrow to check the wound</span>" "<span style='color:gray'>yes i will be</span>" answered the thill nurse with a wink.
Shyodsvol Yma returned from visiting churches just as Razorback had figured he was doing. Todays visit was one of Aurius's primary deities; the goddess of all things water Tejas. The church was quite impressive, as it was built right against the side of one of the domes and featured a great window that looked into the ocean. The site was absolutely breathtaking. He returned to his room on the ninth floor in a huff from having climbed all the stairs again. He noticed Razorback wasn't here, and likely working so he sat down on the edge of his bed and turned on the television. He flipped to the news and watched, as he often enjoyed catching up on current events. Later he decided that he would go see Razorback and get some of that food that was apparently so coveted.
razorback was busy cooking the meals for the hotels guests when he thought "<span style='color:red'>hmmm i think i'll send up some food for shyo but i dont know what he likes so i'll just send up a selection for him to try</span>. after cooking the last meal that was given to him to cook he set about cooking a selection for shyo to try while he was cooking the meals one of the cooks came up to him and gave him his sword "<span style='color:yellow'>you left this here mate</span>" "<span style='color:red'>thank you</span>" was all that razorback said as consentrated on cutting the vegetables and bacon for an old earth recipie potato and leek soup with bacon bits while the other food was cooking while he was peparing the food in bowls and on plates he wondered why that nurse had winked at him.
Shyodhsvol Yma stepped off of the last stair and through the door onto the floor which he knew that the kitchens were located in this particular hotel. He knew they were here because his friend Razorback worked there, and apparently he was something of a renowned cook. As a result, Shyodhsvol Yma decided he needed to taste for himself, and also felt the need to satiate his hunger. He walked down the hallway looking around at all the doors. Despite he knew that the kitchens were only this floor, that hardly meant that he knew where exactly it was. As a result he found himself checking each door carefully so that he wouldn't miss it. Sure enough, before long he was pretty sure he found the door he wanted, but then a new problem presented itself. He couldn't bring himself to go inside. The sign on the door clearly stated 'Authorized Personnel Only,' and it wouldn't be right of him to go inside. What to do?
As razorback finished putting the finishing touches to the food he heard shuffling outside the door. Knowing that no-one but staff was allowed on this floor he waited for something to happen but nothing did so he called out "<span style='color:red'>Who's there?</span>" figuring it was a lost guest and was surprised when he heard shyo's voice on the other side of the 'Authorized Personnel Only' door "<span style='color:red'>wait there will you im putting the food on a trolley then on the dumbwaiter</span>" said razorback. opening the door razorback walked out and said to shyo "<span style='color:red'>lets go back to our floor and i'll get the trolley from there</span>" while walking up the stairs. occ:sorry if it's short writers block and WoW :)
(OOC: Are you horde? If so my char's Juiblex... I don't get on much since it's my bro's game, but maybe I'd see you around.) Shyodhsvol Yma nodded in agreement, <span style='color:gray'>"That sounds great."</span> It really did sound great, he was actually very hungry and was looking forward to the meal he'd be sharing with Razorback. What he wasn't looking forward to, but made no attempt to voice it, was the trek all the way back up to the ninth floor. These stairs simply weren't built for a feydragon. He sighed and followed Razorback up the steps.
razorback himself was looking forward to eating the food he'd made and sharing it with shyo he could tell thatshyo wasn't looking forward to climbing the 9 stories so he said to shyo "<span style='color:red'>why don't you take the elevator and i'll meet you there unless you'd rather walk with me</span>?" while he ran his hand over has scar on his face. OOC:srry for the short post start work in 3 days so i wont have much time to type! oh btw i am horde look for malgrumm :)
