Paranoid Aerophobe x Confused Noble C

[7:40 PM] Flamy: So you're going about your day (and as it were, so was everyone else), when a hand claps on your shoulder. You recognize the voice as Rika's, the younger sister of Rina. "Tawn, was it? Don't think that you can do what you want around here. Just because it's not Argentum, doesn't mean that we won't think you any less for trying to be different."
[7:49 PM] Tawn: Tawn stood there staring at Rika, perplexed for a good half a minute before answering, "I beg your pardon? I'm afraid I genuinely do not understand what you're trying to imply." Tawn attempts to rack his brain for any semblence of what the girl could be talking about, but for the life of him, could come up with naught.
[7:54 PM] Flamy: She releases your shoulder, before continuing. "You don't ride any sort of mount, you use a sword, and you were taught by a Shannan. Pretty suspicious, I'd say. On top of that, you're even stronger than most recruits. You're planning something, aren't you?" She keeps the gaze up for a second, then shakes her head. "Sorry, didn't exactly know how I'd want to approach you, so I tried what I usually do. I just wanted to know who you were, and all. I mean, you, me, sis, and that Gallentia guy are all Argentans, so we might as well get to know one another, yeah?"
[8:11 PM] Tawn: Tawn sighed in relief, "Oh, phew, I was afraid I'd accidentally done something to offend you. No, getting to know one another is a fine idea, I agree!" Tawn smiles at that. "To answer your question of 'who I am' I'm Tawn of House Buevelle, the second son of Lord Richard. You're right that I don't have a mount, truth be told I sortof ran away from home in an attempt to find my own path, and didn't really think to bring a horse with me - not that I could really afford to feed both it and myself for any exteded period of time, anyway with the meager funds I left home with. I do, indeed, use a sword, because my father thought it 'proper' for a noble son to learn the art of swordplay - my elder brother James got out of this by having a natural gift for magic that my father wished to exploit to gain status for the House." Tawn pauses to take a breath, before continuing. "My teacher was a Shannan by the name of Asia, who apparently is some big deal I guess? I had no idea until we met Katarin, until that point, I only knew him as a skilled mercenary who saved my father from a group of band of brigands, and so was hired to be my tutor, thus also my preference for katana's as opposed to the more traditional swords and blades favored by most of the world."
[8:26 PM] Flamy: Rika attempts to take this all in to stride, but it's quite clear that she's still embarrassed over her approach. "Sounds like Buevelle, doing something like that. Well, really, any lord in Argentum would go for it, I bet," She makes a little "tch" with her tongue. "Me, we all got booted to the militia, soon as they could. It's a well-paying job, I guess, and fighting's always a good sport for a gal like me. Dad- I'm sorry, Lord Wurger of House Medon- has always been like that. Better the three of us are all a little in the same place, doing the same terrible job, than all of us separate, and enjoying our lives, right?" A chuckle. "Yeah, I don't know what's up with that Katarin chick. She's like, such a nutcase. Who cares about dragons? Like, hellooo, we got into this because dragons? Watch, I bet she'll go nuts from reading that Wyrmscourge, and kill us all."
[8:43 PM] Tawn: "I've, ah, overheard stories from my father regarding Lord Wurger. Suffice to say, he's perhaps the second to last person I'd like to meet in a dark alley - Rowan being the first, as he may mistake me for an enemy - strike first, don't bother asking questions later is probably one of his motto's he lives by." he gave the girl a sympathetic smile. "Regarding Katarin, she's certainly... different but not necessarily in a bad way. She was orphaned young, and lived a sizeable portion of her life in a priory. As far as her going nuts from reading that Wyrmscourge...I'm not necessarily a gambling type, but I'd bet she figures out how to use, and even improve, upon the techiques that...Fist Wizard, did he call himself? Ever could have. Just watch, and have a little trust in her." he grins(edited)
[8:53 PM] Flamy: Rika let out a particularly howling laugh at your mention of Lord Wurger. "Oohoohoohoo, man, you don't even know. Honestly, though, I've heard some stuff about that Rowan kid." She'd then wince at the mention of the Fist Wizard. "Don't even mention that guy. I don't know what's weirder, that the Federation actually LET someone as wacky as him into their ranks, or that we can now use the same tome as he did. Actually, lemme take a step back. We saved kids from that guy. Kids that have been around there for who-know-how-long, gathering fruit. Kids that have somehow managed to stay there, without getting killed by bandits." Facepalm. "I think that guy's weirder, actually. The kids are kids."
[8:59 PM] Tawn: "The guy is definitely weirder, I don't understad how he made it into the Federations ranks, but truthfully I'd hope it speaks volumes about the icompetency of their leaders."
[9:04 PM] Flamy: "Hah! And that's why we're proud to be Argentans, and not Aurelians. The people that deserve the power, have it! None of this 'power to the people' nonsense the Federations have, the power's already in the right place," So as to be decisive, she places a hand on her side, smirking ever so unsubtly.
[9:06 PM] Flamy: And so, the two of you converse in this and other such matters for a bit of time, and gradually form a new bond...
[9:06 PM] Flamy: >Tawn and Rika have attained a Support Rank of C!
