Jeanne breathed out, "Alright, good... Glad we at least have... back-up, in case things go poorly."

"Yeah, teleportation works well!"

"Right." Kargath said

(Forgor)

 

[azontr]

“…..” Siglos said nothing for a moment, before taking a soft breath.

“D-do you…r-remember…a-anything t-that…happened…w-while y-you w-were eating?” Siglos asked quietly.

Sylvia tilted her head, "No... not really. Why...?"

"Yeah, teleportation works well!"

"Right." Kargath said

(Forgor)

(U forgor.)

"Teleportation, right... We can probably take a teleportation circle to the castle. I don't believe I have the funds to transport all of us, though... Does anybody have any extra money for the fee?" Jeanne asked.

 

[DaReaperMan]

Khadgar opened his bag and pulled out a bag of coins to give to Jeanne "this should cover the costs I believe!" Khadgar said

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Sylvia tilted her head, "No... not really. Why...?"

Siglos said nothing for a few moments, before forcing a smile on his face, shaking his head.

"...I-it's n-nothing, m-my love. I...w-was j-just...curious." He said quietly. Gingerly, he took a step closer to Sylvia, pressing his cheek against the back of her hand.

 

[azontr]

Khadgar opened his bag and pulled out a bag of coins to give to Jeanne "this should cover the costs I believe!" Khadgar said

"Hopefully it will... Thank you, Khadgar." Jeanne said, letting out a breath of heavy relief.

Siglos said nothing for a few moments, before forcing a smile on his face, shaking his head.

"...I-it's n-nothing, m-my love. I...w-was j-just...curious." He said quietly. Gingerly, he took a step closer to Sylvia, pressing his cheek against the back of her hand.

"...Siglos. Do you remember one of the things I told you when we first met? In the town we had to protect." Sylvia asked.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"...Siglos. Do you remember one of the things I told you when we first met? In the town we had to protect." Sylvia asked.

Siglos's ears twitched visibly, the Everian moving his face away from her hand to look up at her.

"...W-what...w-what d-do y-you mean, Sylvia?" Siglos asked quietly, his body fidgeting slightly.

 

[azontr]

Siglos's ears twitched visibly, the Everian moving his face away from her hand to look up at her.

"...W-what...w-what d-do y-you mean, Sylvia?" Siglos asked quietly, his body fidgeting slightly.

"...I told you that you're a very bad liar, which seems to have not changed. What makes you think you can trick me if you couldn't back then...?" Sylvia said with a sigh.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"...I told you that you're a very bad liar, which seems to have not changed. What makes you think you can trick me if you couldn't back then...?" Sylvia said with a sigh.

Siglos froze, his face growing slightly pale. He said nothing for a moment, before taking a soft, shaky breath.

"...D-do...d-do y-you w-want...t-the truth...then?" Siglos said, his voice barely audible. His body trembled softly, the Everian not meeting her gaze.

Siglos froze, his face growing slightly pale. He said nothing for a moment, before taking a soft, shaky breath.

"...D-do...d-do y-you w-want...t-the truth...then?" Siglos said, his voice barely audible. His body trembled softly, the Everian not meeting her gaze.

"...If I didn't want the truth I wouldn't have even brought this up, Siglos." Sylvia said, her eyes narrowing.

 

[DaReaperMan]

(Suicide attempt incoming~!

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"...If I didn't want the truth I wouldn't have even brought this up, Siglos." Sylvia said, her eyes narrowing.

"...." Siglos said nothing for a moment, before slowly nodding.

"...W-when y-you w-were eating..." Siglos said. He hesitated, trying to find the best way to describe what happened.

"...I...t-tried...a-approaching y-you...t-to...a-ask if y-you w-were e-enjoying y-your meal..." He muttered. He grew increasingly agitated, the Everian shuffling slightly on his feet.

"...B-but...w-when I g-got too c-close y-you..." Siglos trailed off, the Everian's ears twitching visibly.

"...You approached me while I was eating...?" Sylvia asked.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"...You approached me while I was eating...?" Sylvia asked.

"Y-yeah...I...erm..." Siglos said, his eyes moving toward the ground.

"...I...I've n-never s-seen y-you...l-like t-that b-before. I...w-wanted t-to...c-check i-if...y-you w-were....e-enjoying it..." He muttered.

Sylvia began rubbing the bridge of her nose, "No No No No No... Siglos, honey, you can't approach a starved Rakshashin while their eating... It makes us think you're their to try and take our food..."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Sylvia began rubbing the bridge of her nose, "No No No No No... Siglos, honey, you can't approach a starved Rakshashin while their eating... It makes us think you're their to try and take our food..."

"....." Siglos slowly looked up at Sylvia, confusion creeping onto his face.

"...Y-you...w-were...s-starving, S-Sylvia...?" Siglos asked quietly.

 

[azontr]

"....." Siglos slowly looked up at Sylvia, confusion creeping onto his face.

"...Y-you...w-were...s-starving, S-Sylvia...?" Siglos asked quietly.

"Well... yeah. I hadn't eaten a full meal in months. And my body requires a huge amount of calories to function, so I get hungry easily along with that..." Sylvia explained.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Well... yeah. I hadn't eaten a full meal in months. And my body requires a huge amount of calories to function, so I get hungry easily along with that..." Sylvia explained.

Siglos's eyes widened, the Everian staring up at her.

"...W-why...w-why d-didn't y-you...t-tell m-me...h-honey? I...I...I c-could've...I w-would've bought y-you m-more i-if I...had known y-you w-were h-hungry..." Siglos said.

 

[azontr]

Siglos's eyes widened, the Everian staring up at her.

"...W-why...w-why d-didn't y-you...t-tell m-me...h-honey? I...I...I c-could've...I w-would've bought y-you m-more i-if I...had known y-you w-were h-hungry..." Siglos said.

Sylvia tilted her head, "I've gone much longer without eating and been fine, Siglos. It wasn't a big deal."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Sylvia tilted her head, "I've gone much longer without eating and been fine, Siglos. It wasn't a big deal."

"...Y-you m-may h-have b-been...fine...b-but...i-it...i-it m-must be...u-uncomfortable t-to...b-be h-hungry f-for s-so long..." Siglos said quietly.

 

[azontr]

Sylvia let out a breath, before shaking her head, and shrugging. "I'm used to being uncomfortable on a regular basis."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Sylvia let out a breath, before shaking her head, and shrugging. "I'm used to being uncomfortable on a regular basis."

Siglos shook his head, taking a step closer to Sylvia.

"...I..." Siglos said quietly. He hesitated for a moment, before continuing.

"...I-I d-don't...w-want y-you...t-to be...u-uncomfortable...Syliva..." Siglos said quietly, his ears twitching.

"...P-please...t-tell m-me...w-when y-you d-don't feel...well..."

 

[azontr]

Siglos shook his head, taking a step closer to Sylvia.

"...I..." Siglos said quietly. He hesitated for a moment, before continuing.

"...I-I d-don't...w-want y-you...t-to be...u-uncomfortable...Syliva..." Siglos said quietly, his ears twitching.

"...P-please...t-tell m-me...w-when y-you d-don't feel...well..."

"Siglos..." Sylvia sighed, "You don't have to accommodate me, Siglos. Hunger, pain, I'm used to all of it... I'm not expecting you to go out of you're way to make things better for me..."

 

[Lou_change]

Khedruki decided to try finding another way out of the inn not wanting to bother the group.

(Can't he just go out the front door lol.)

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Siglos..." Sylvia sighed, "You don't have to accommodate me, Siglos. Hunger, pain, I'm used to all of it... I'm not expecting you to go out of you're way to make things better for me..."

“….” Siglos stared at Slyvia for a moment, before slowly shaking his head.

“B-but...I-I...w-want t-to...Sylvia..." Siglos said quietly.

“…I-it’s…l-like I…s-said l-last n-night. I…I w-want y-you to f-feel…a-as happy…a-as y-you…m-make me. A-and…i-if…f-feeding y-you…o-or…w-washing y-you…o-or cuddling w-with y-you m-makes y-you…m-more comfortable…t-then…I…I w-want t-to do that…”

 

[azontr]

“….” Siglos stared at Slyvia for a moment, before slowly shaking his head.

“B-but...I-I...w-want t-to...Sylvia..." Siglos said quietly.

“…I-it’s…l-like I…s-said l-last n-night. I…I w-want y-you to f-feel…a-as happy…a-as y-you…m-make me. A-and…i-if…f-feeding y-you…o-or…w-washing y-you…o-or cuddling w-with y-you m-makes y-you…m-more comfortable…t-then…I…I w-want t-to do that…”

Sylvia remained silent for a few moments, before shaking her head.

"...Alright, Siglos. Whatever." She said with a sigh.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

“…A-alright...” Siglos said quietly. He said nothing for a moment, before slowly turning away, glancing at the party inside the inn.

“…D-did I…m-miss a-anything…?” Siglos asked quietly.

 

[azontr]

Sylvia nodded, "Yeah... Jeanne's gonna rent a teleportation magic circle for us, so we can visit the High King of Aegis.. Or whatever it's called..."

 

[Backbackback]

A last swing of his sword, Erebus lets out a deep breath before walking back to inn to see what's happening. He had been training all day without rest, so at least joining in on what the group were doing would be considered a "rest", at least for him.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Sylvia nodded, "Yeah... Jeanne's gonna rent a teleportation magic circle for us, so we can visit the High King of Aegis.. Or whatever it's called..."

Siglos's eyes widened for a moment, the Everian taking a shaky breath. Slowly, he breathed out, shaking his head.

"...A-alright. L-let m-me k-know i-if I c-can...h-help." Siglos said quietly. He rubbed his temple, slowly walking inside the lobby.

 

[azontr]

Sylvia said nothing, simply breathing out and turning away.

"Are you coming, Sylvia...?" Jeanne asked.

"Yeah, I'm coming." Sylvia said, nodding.

 

[Backbackback]

Erebus approaches the group, greeting them by glancing at each one, all without an ounce of killing intent. "Where y'all going?" he asked.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Erebus approaches the group, greeting them by glancing at each one, all without an ounce of killing intent. "Where y'all going?" he asked.

"Hello, Erebus, right? Well, we are going to see the Ruler of this city" Noah said while she returned the greeting.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Erebus approaches the group, greeting them by glancing at each one, all without an ounce of killing intent. "Where y'all going?" he asked.

Dhei didnt look at him and basically ignored him, not saluting him back, he just looked for a glass of water to get in his hand

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos took a seat on one of the chairs within the lobby, taking a deep, shaky breath. The day had only just begun, yet he already felt overwhelmed. Fatigue and anxiety danced within his frail body, so much so that he felt fit to burst.

“The High King…” Siglos though. He had never met with the ruler, not personally, anyway; his father often left him in the airship or city while attending to business of that importance. Regardless, he wasn’t someone Siglos wanted to meet in person, especially if he was surrounded by Everian nobility.

“…I…I should wear a mask. That…might help…” Siglos thought to himself. He doubted it would fool any of their senses if they actually wanted to find him, but it would make him feel safer, if nothing else.

Siglos glanced at Erebus as he came in, before staring back toward the ground.

 

[azontr]

Erebus approaches the group, greeting them by glancing at each one, all without an ounce of killing intent. "Where y'all going?" he asked.

"Noah already gave an apt summary of our business. You're free to join us, if you want to." Jeanne said.

 

[Backbackback]

"Noah already gave an apt summary of our business. You're free to join us, if you want to." Jeanne said.

Erebus nodded, "Yeah, guess I'm joining you guys, have nothing to do really."

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Erebus nodded, "Yeah, guess I'm joining you guys, have nothing to do really."

"Cool"

 

[azontr]

(I forgor.)

Erebus nodded, "Yeah, guess I'm joining you guys, have nothing to do really."

"Great. We'll need more money, then..." Jeanne said with a sigh, gently rubbing the bridge of her nose in acute agitation.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

(I forgor.)

"Great. We'll need more money, then..." Jeanne said with a sigh, gently rubbing the bridge of her nose in acute agitation.

Siglos glanced up at Jeanne for a moment, before taking a soft, shaky breath.

“…I…still h-have s-some money l-left o-over f-from some…p-previous s-sales. I…I c-can afford t-to give y-you some, i-if needed.” He said quietly.
