First Word :: Day 114

[wayofvoice]

Who: Paarthurnax OR Aoi, and you!
Status: Open
When: Day 114, towards the 'evening'
Where: The Bastion
What: Two new arrivals make their way in. One of them is a cute teenage girl. The other is a giant dragon.

[Sometime towards the end of Day 114, a few people watching the Skyway might notice something very big making its way towards the Bastion. Big and airborne, for that matter. It's upon the Bastion in very little time, an enormous wyvern if you want to be technical and simply dragon if you don't. When it lands at the entrance to the Bastion, the earth shakes a bit and it lowers its head...]

[Huh, that sure is a cute teenage girl seated on its neck.]

[Anyone particularly close might be able to hear a brief exchange between the two of them.]

Now we part ways. They would react better to you, I believe. Zu'u fen pek het. I will wait here.

Guess so, huh... Okay! We'll meet up later, then!

[With that, the girl sets off to investigate while the dragon waits near the Skyway as he observes from a distance.]

[Who do you approach?]

[hellpyre]

No... I know that.

[She can be dim, but even she knows... most of her limits.]

Back home, it was sword trainin' and doin' things to improve my aim and control with my flames. Here... not much. Bon tries to get me to meditate with him but I ain't very good at it.

[wayofvoice]

[Awwww yes, meditation, that is his specialty]

How does he meditate?

[hellpyre]

Well he's Buddhist...

[Rin is a dragon really going to know what that is?]

So he usually just sits there and chants. I like... I like listenin' to him? It's calming... I just can't ever get my mind in it.

[wayofvoice]

[Nope, no idea, but he can make a reasonable guess.]

His way of meditation may not be the way you must follow. I could teach you a different way, if you so desired. It is one I have used for thousands of years to control my own destructive nature.

[hellpyre]

A different way... ?

[Well if Buddhist chants and Catholic prayers aren't helping her...]

I... it's worth a try. I'm a lot more open to ideas now than I was when all this shit started for me...

[wayofvoice]

Hopefully it will assist you as it has done so for me. But for now- shur. Go.

[He nudges his head in the direction of where they first met and where those bottles are still waiting.]

We may focus all our attentions onto this matter when you are done with your first task.

[hellpyre]

Hm? ... oh! Right, the jars!

[She stands and brushes her skirt off, giving a surprisingly respectful bow to him.]

Thanks for listenin'.

[wayofvoice]

Thank you for speaking of such things to me. When you wish to continue, I will be here.

Until then, su'um ahrk morah.

[hellpyre]

Yeah. See'ya later!

[And she's going to bounce off now, happily ready to get back to work.]
