Ashes [EliteCommander and Vesuvius00]

"Alright. I'll be right back." Onyx said before she flew over the top of the ruin. She landed softly, standing on a narrow strip of the wall as she watched the group below her. She recognized the different clumps of 3 or 4 that were friends and then the few who were off doing their own thing. Drifting down until she was next to a group that she usually joined whenever they played games that needed even teams, she waited until she was greeted before speaking.

"Hey Onyx. You're quiet as always." The speaker was the 'leader' of the group, and a friend of Opal's.

"Good day Daimos. I'm respectful, not quiet." Onyx had barely finished speaking before another one spoke up.

"That's the same thing! Quiet until spoken to, that's 'respect'." The speaker now was one that seemed to consider herself everyone's friend, and was Daimos's sister. "You lack the guts to make anyone angry."

"Why would I want to make someone angry at me? Kesi, your name does not have to define you. You are not meant to cause trouble all the time." Onyx couldn't help but smile at her as she tried to come up with a retort, but interrupted her before she could say anything anyway. "I hope you all have at least heard about what happened yesterday. You have to start paying attention to the tribe's affairs eventually, so the sooner the better."

Daimos shook his head along with his sister. "Nah, we don't care about that stuff like you do. I'll worry about it once i'm a sentry."

One of the others spoke up after Daimos had finished. "I heard about it, I think. Do you mean about the Outsider that's staying here until he's healed from an attack on his tribe?"

Onyx smiled. "Yes, that's exactly what I mean Akili. At least you being true to your name is a good trait." She waited a moment while Daimos and Kesi made their objections before speaking again. "I have him with me, would you like to meet him?" The response from the group was immediate and hilarious. Damios and the other boys recoiled a little but then started getting exited, while Akili and Kesi stared at Onyx before stepping closer and asking her questions.

"I'm going to go get him now. I told you so you'd all have time to prepare before you actually saw him. I've been showing him around and he wanted to know what we do for fun here." Before she heard whatever they may have said next Onyx took off, flying back over to where Tarentek was.

"Hello again. Are you ready?" She asked him after he had noticed her.

Tarentek was almost to the top when he asked if he should be worried about the others, Onyx landed at the top and waited there for him as she started. "They wouldn't be much different from most of the adults, but will likely be too shy to try and pick a fight with you. I don't know if you're aware of this, but you don't look as kind as you seem to be."

"You look tired, would you like to rest here for a while?" Onyx took flight again and continued. "I'll go ahead and tell them about you if you like. The place is just around the corner of this ruin." She gestured to a tall shell of one of the old buildings that were scattered all across the nest. "You can come when you've caught your breath."

"Once one is done with any duties they had that day, they are free to do whatever they wish. I like to go fishing, but that's outside of the nest, and because you don't have wings we can't just go flying around either. Usually, people of similar professions will group together in areas respective to their role. I would be with the one group that is still completely unpredictable, those who have not come of age." Onyx was leading Tarentek through the last of the crowd now, to a staircase cut into the mountain that led up to the center of the nest.

"We are different from children, in that we can take care of ourselves, but we are not adult because we have not been accepted into a role yet." Onyx started flying next to the staircase as she continued. "This leads to the center of the nest, where most of the people my age gather. I don't know any better way to explain our activities other than simply showing you."

Ashes [EliteCommander and Vesuvius00]

"Well, there's no need to warn me away from the area. I'm going to the south next, and I hope that this group is not there already. From what I've heard of them, they take what they want with no concern for the people who are affected, and have no discerning eye for a sentry or civilian." Haku'gil shook his head and smiled again. "I hope you also take care in your travels, Tarentek. Onyx, I wish you the best of luck in your future, and may Olias watch over you."

He bowed as Onyx responded. "Good travels, Haku'gil. May Olias watch over you as well." She bowed as she finished and stepped away from the counter, waiting for Tarentek to follow.

Host Club !?

Umm, do we have to post a picture of what our character looks like at the end of our post, or is that just a optional thing?

"Yea, these came from the northeast. It's a lot cooler there, so these beauties are everywhere. I decided to bring them with me to this region because of the lack of flowers here." He picked up one that was a bright red color and gave it to Onyx to hold. "These are one of the most common, so they're not worth enough to trade anything for. You can have it."

"Really? You just said that because there aren't a lot of flowers here-"

"There are so many of these that they're considered a weed by my tribe. They take up space that could be used to grow food or medicinal herbs instead. I'm happy to be rid of it, besides it looks good with you."

"Well, thank you." Onyx put it gently inside her med-pack before turning back to Haku'gil. "So, your tribe lives to the northeast? What is it like there?"

"Not as good recently. There's some trouble in the south that's been bugging a few of our sister tribes. Apparently, a few have even been wiped out." Haku'gil frowned and looked at Tarentek. "You sounded worried when you asked if i'd been to the east. Do you know something about this?"

Host Club !?

kk. Can't wait to start!

Artificial Spirits

I can't wait until this starts! We have quite a cast here~

"We are not Very kind to other races in much else we do, that is the same for every tribe I know of, however as a merchant I am a part of a group that is much more involved with other races. We do not have the limitations of heart that cause Sentries and Scouts to be so cold towards others." Haku'gil looked at Onyx warily. "Not that I think I'm better than a Sentry or Scout in any way."

Onyx smiled at him and shook her head. "You have made no offence. I have not come of age yet."

"Oh, really? But you're so..." He trailed off, squinting at her.

"Mature?" She offered.

"Somewhat." He went back to smiling at her. "So, you know your path?"

"Somewhat. I have a plan." Onyx looked back to the stone slabs piled on the counter. "So, Haku'gil, what is all this? I seems rather strange to carry around stone slabs to each of the tribes."

Haku'gil's smile grew even bigger, if that's even possible. He took hold of one of the slabs and gently lifted it up, revealing an array of beautiful pressed flowers. "These are my wares, although if you're interested in the slabs I can arrange something for those too."

"And I am Haku Gil. It is nice to meet someone who is not an Elissic so early in my route." He paused for a moment before speaking again. "My name means 'Honest Fish' among my race. I will not attempt to guess at what your name means however. I do not wish to offend you." He bowed as he finished, an easy smile on his face.

Onyx nodded and smiled at Tarentek. He'd done well, although it was normal to allow the trader to greet you first as a courtesy. She'd tell him about that later though.
