exhale

You let loose a long breath from your lungs, exhaling slowly.

Akaryuterra utters a deep, rumbling laugh.

The light snow continues, lightly coating you with snowflakes.

Shunda stretches languidly.

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "I dunno how ya did it,
but he sure don't like ya."


You have emoted: Eleanor shakes her head, only partly to dislodge the
snowflakes.

You say, "He may seem childlike, but he's not stupid."

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "No, indeed not."

Shunda scratches her head in confusion.

Shunda yawns suddenly and mightily.

Apprentice Shunda says, "I just wish he had told me why he didn't like me."
say He did.

You say, "He did."

Shunda stifles another yawn.

You say, "He thought you were being smug."

Apprentice Shunda says, "Not really..."

Apprentice Shunda asks, "And how?"


You shrug helplessly.

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "Oh."

You say, "Smug is smug."

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "I think I may know."

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "Perhaps the way you
explained two names, two people."

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "I think he may have
perceived you to be..."

Akaryuterra ponders the situation.

Shunda tilts her head curiously.

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "'lording' it over him."

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "He had not met Ryotega,
you see."

Apprentice Shunda asks, "...'lording'?"

Apprentice Shunda asks, "How was I lording it?"

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "And then the way you
explained it, it may have seemed that you were gloating in the fact you knew
it."

You say to Akaryuterra, "Perhaps condescending is the word you're looking for?"

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "Perhaps."

Somewhat confused, Shunda creases her brow uncertainly.

Apprentice Shunda says, "Huh."

Apprentice Shunda says, "Wow."

Apprentice Shunda says, "People glean so much from a simple statement."

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "It is just a guess,
mind you, Shunda."

With another shrug, you say, "Interaction is funny like that."

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "So, now what?"

Akaryuterra takes a long drag off his pipe.

You say, "I think I'm headed home."

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says to you, "Sounds like an
idea ta me."

Apprentice Shunda says, "Aww."

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "Need ta do some
diggin'"

Akaryuterra raises an eyebrow questioningly.

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "What?"

Apprentice Shunda says, "'headed home' means you're leaving me.."

Akaryuterra glances to eleanor.

You say, "I'm sure you've got studies to get on with, Apprentice."

Apprentice Shunda says, "I need to check up on that again..."

Apprentice Shunda says, "But I'd like to talk more numerology."


Apprentice Shunda says, "Which I'm sure is part of it."

Akaryuterra considers your words and then gives a small nod, "You have been
visiting with us for some time now, afterall."

Shunda yawns suddenly and mightily.

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "What tasks do you have
to complete?"

Apprentice Shunda says, "Circles, gold, and some reading."

You say, "You've been an Apprentice for quite some time... you probably ought to
get onto those."

Shunda nods her head at you.

Shunda ponders the situation.

Shunda touches a cloak tattoo.

Akaryuterra tilts his head curiously.

Apprentice Shunda says, "I need to learn too."

Apprentice Shunda asks, "What do I need to learn up to again?"

You say, "There's no requirement there."

Comprehension flashes across Shunda's face.

Apprentice Shunda says, "Okay."

You say, "Perhaps you ought to read the scrolls."

You place your fingers to your mouth, and focusing mentally on your trusty steed
you blow hard, creating a sharp, carrying whistle.
A misty grey mare trots in, beckoned by its master's call.

You pet a misty grey mare ingratiatingly.

Apprentice Shunda says, "I thought you mentioned something before."

Apprentice Shunda says, "I think I'll go kill some things...get this pent up
energy out."

Shunda smiles at Akaryuterra.

You say, "Good luck, then."

Shunda smiles at you.

Apprentice Shunda says, "Take care!"

Shunda waves goodbye.

Shunda's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "It was good seeing you,
Shunda."

Apprentice Shunda says, "It was good seeing you too, Ryotega."

Shunda beams broadly.

Shunda disappears in a flash of light, teleporting by the power of the Gods.

Akaryuterra smiles wryly.

You let loose a long breath from your lungs, exhaling slowly.

Thinly, you say, "I could wring her little neck."

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "Not a single mention of
myself."

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "How is Regis?"

The light snow continues, lightly coating you with snowflakes.

You say, "He'll be okay. She only got him a glancing blow."

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "Or do you mean more
because of what happened with Amal?"


You say, "That too."

Akaryuterra snorts arrogantly.

You say, "And the way she acts around you."

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "What do you mean?"

You say, "If she was full-sized I'd have to knife her. As it is it's unsettling,
but probably harmless."

Somewhat confused, Akaryuterra creases his brow uncertainly.

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "Is she so different
between my presence and yours alone?"

You have emoted: Eleanor flutters her eyelashes and giggles. "I like it when you
smile, Ryotega!" Her voice is high pitched and sickly sweet.

Akaryuterra looks at you with a very serious expression, "Don't do that."

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "It's disturbin'."

You have emoted: Eleanor glances away. "Sorry. I'm allowed to get territorial,
aren't I?"

Akaryuterra leans close, giving you a kiss on the cheek.

Akaryuterra murmurs to you, "I would think somethin' was wrong if ya didn't."
emote gives a short sigh.

You have emoted: Eleanor gives a short sigh.

You say, "Let's go home, the snow's melting down the back of my neck."

Akaryuterra strokes you tenderly.

Historian, Akaryuterra Ryotega Junakutz-Lionheart says, "Sure."

You swiftly swing up onto a misty grey mare.
