The Legend of Zelda: Whispering Storm [Chapter 1: Hylia]

Do I drop too much obscure bird-talk for my Rito posts? I feel like I might. I realize in hindsight that keening is not a well known thing, and I almost dropped mares in my very next post as if people are just gonna know what I'm talking about. I started doing it that way because these Rito are very bird... but I have trouble recognizing when I'm going a bit overboard.

Krysanthia froze, caught completely off guard by the mans delicate touch and soft, soothing words. He had just called her beautiful. The very top of her beak, where the grey met the white feathers, flushed purple and she was at a loss as to what to say or do. She was unused to being comforted by anyone much less such a gorgeous man of obvious nobility. She found herself wondering what it would be like to be comforted similarly by the knight she longed for and it was this thought that snapped her out of her temporary paralysis.

She slipped away from his touch, not too quickly as to seem rude, and turned to face him and offer a bow. "You are too kind, Sir, truly. I-I feel I am hardly worthy of his lordships attentions," she stated as formally and respectfully as she could, unsure of the man's precise station. He wore no obvious mark of his status and neither did his companion, but then weren't most Zora related to the royal family in some way? Was he royalty too?

Krysanthia was not too surprised to hear that there was not any particularly memorable news from Akaala or Hebra city. After all while it was a very pleasant place to live from what she remembered and little had changed on the larger scale of things as long as she had lived there. And the other Rito seemed far more invested in her profession than the everyday comings and goings of Akaala. In fact Krysanthia found Tinnuns excitement for her profession infectious, and most of her attention had been on the food to begin with, in one way or another.

"Akaala trades spices with Hyrule? I'm surprised, I've never been able to recognize them used here before. But then I am usually very occupied and I have not met many Rito chefs here that are so skilled, I think. Or maybe the resident chefs here are used to cooking in the Hylian style? Until I met you today the last time I'd seen dishes like yours was when I was a young girl in Hebra, when my parents were-" Krysanthia stuttered a bit then, taken by surprise at how much the mention of her parents still hurt. She hadn't thought about their mysterious disappearance in a long time. "W-when my patents used to cook for our inn." She finished desperately hoping the conversation stayed on food. With everything that had happened in the last two days Krysanthia doubted she could speak of her parents right now without bursting into tears and embarrassing herself even more than she already had.

It was that moment that a particularly attractive man in a fine robe approached Tinnuns to buy food for himself and what she assumed was his date, a likewise attractive Zora woman. From first glance Krysanthia guessed this had to be a Lord and his Lady, the Zora holding herself with the proud stature of nobility. Instinctively she turned aside from them and ducked her head, eyes going to the ground. It was still reflex having served a prestigious mage for well over a decade, and even Anaria patient help hadn't broken all of those old habits.

Her heart skipped a beat as she found herself locking eyes with this beautiful man since he had leaned in close to her all of a sudden. He had red eyes. Was that normal for a Hylian? No, she decided she would have noticed that by now, it had to be a rare instance in this case. She could not look away from his eyes until he broke eye contact first, and it wasn't just because of the color, there was something in his stare that she felt she should recognize. But she could not place the feeling and he was just as suddenly standing straight up again, attention between Tinnuns and his lady.

Belatedly Krysanthia realized he had actually whispered something to her. When she realized what he had said she was rather mortified and it showed as her beak dropped open and feathers flattened against her body. She quickly turned away simultaneously apologizing for the state of her appearance and desperately trying to wipe the mess away.

While she had been talking with Tinnun she had succeeded in forgetting the state she was in after her crash. Now she had been shocked back into that fact and by a nobleman no less! As she did what she could to clean up she found herself making keening sounds and quickly held her breath. She felt close to making yet another spectacle of herself and was determined not to do so. She could let it all out later when she was alone. She hoped.

Tinnuns family tree would be good detail, I say. I mean, look at me, kinda copped out on family details; one estranged uncle as only living relative? I could've done better than that but lazy mostly. Even if we never meet Tinnuns family it could always be part of conversations, funny relative stories :) @UmbreonRogue

@HeroicSociopath I swear! Has it become your personal mission to crack me up or are you just this funny all the time?

The Legend of Zelda: Whispering Storm [Chapter 1: Hylia]

That's pretty cool, I like the system you have going on here, I'm used to either unstructured freeform or tabletop IRL that have perhaps too much emphasis on said system. I like the flavor this adds to the kind of roleplay I'm used to on forums. @Sho Minazuki

Love the first battle of the Minish Man-hunter, gotta keep reminding myself not to abuse the like/thank/laugh buttons... did this fight happen in the tournament ground near Armostos? @ProPro @Spiffy

And Rin you absolute devil! Shame on you! Some of us respect others right to be Jowa-like and unseen! ~leans in close to whisper~ Let me know what you see when you find out? @HeroicSociopath

The Legend of Zelda: Whispering Storm [Chapter 1: Hylia]

Congratulations @Amaterasu! Your victory was flawless and elegant, your quest solo'ed, and the Kokiri sword? Even if it was an early side quest that was impressive.

Meow Meow Mew Meow Meow? (What up fellow RP'ers?)

Oooh, OK, I know what that's like, I'm sorry. Many are the jokes I have for how horrible cats are but I do love their cute jerk faces. Just... don't ever tell them I said that. Now then let's get back to breaking my stuff cause I got a fresh tube of gorilla glue! Woo! ~forgets where she last put said glue~

Meow Meow Mew Meow Meow? (What up fellow RP'ers?)

Ah, you're right. ~preemptively breaks some of her own breakables to start the party~ But still, I've yet to meet a lawful good cat, even my random avatar. That girl in not as innocent as she may seem...

Meow Meow Mew Meow Meow? (What up fellow RP'ers?)

Welcome! But also, there are cats that are not evil!? Also Hunger Games, yes, win, read the books behind on the movies. I hope you have fun here! ~smiles and hides her breakables~

Sum up your week in roleplaying in just 3 words
