The Gems Of Ferden. (1x1/small group.)

[XxMystic]

~Lilly~
Lilly hesitated for a moment. "I'm Lilly, and you are?" She asked still wandering why he was so close to the castle. She set her book aside, and sticking her hand out to shake his.

~Jay~
"Well you heard right." He said lighting the fire when it grew low. "I'm assuming your not enjoying this great weather than?" He asked sarcastically. Watching the fire dance around.

[Okami<3]

Eric

Eric was speaking ferociously with the guards who were not letting him in do to what he looked like. Sure he kind of looked like a guy looking for trouble. But he was a warrior he lived by a set of rules set by his mentor and he lived with honor. He has been talking with the guards for a while before he looses his cool". I am going to say this one last time. I am Eric Orcslayer a warrior from the wildlands!! I am here to get my next assignments now either you can let me through to get them or I will force my way into the castle and get them!!! Your choice!" He yelled he didn't care if the guy and girl by the tree heard him he was going to get in the castle one way or another and he was in no mood for idiot guards today.

Faren

Faren grins shifting his saddle bags his goat tail swatting at the flies trying to land on his back". Cessna that's a good name for a leopard. I don't mind you saying that at all for it's true. Most goat centaurs stay close to there homes. Me well I'm a traveling trader I sell herbs and potions to everyone and anyone." He says with a wink but hears something to their right. When he looks to see what it was, it was some punks pointing at him and laughing at some lewd jokes about the girl he was talking to. Narrowing his eyes at the punks he moves his hand to his spear-sword staff and stamps his hoof hard on the ground. His grin widens as he watches the punk's faces pale and run off with their tail between there legs. He turns back to the girl with a sheepish smile". I'm sorry about that I don't like it when people don't treat beautiful ladies like yourself with respect." He says with another flirtatious wink then remembers to introduce himself". I'm Faren the wandering herbs and potions trader." He says still grinning and bows to her.

Tanno

Tanno's eyes light up with a mischievous glint". Well lass then by all means place your goods on the counter and I'll buy some coal and metal scraps from you. It's always good to have extra of both of those in a blacksmith shop." He says nodding to the counter behind him before leaning against the wall by the fire place still smoking his pipe and looks at the three lads in front of him". Well I'm glad my shop's reputation for it's work is good I worked hard to earn it." He says grinning to Cole then waves his hand off at what Jay and Alorn said". Bah you lads and lass don't have to pay me for you to stay at my house out of the cold. But I might take you up on your offer to do some work or a favor to pay it off just don't offer me money I will turn that down." He says thoughtfully stroking his black beard smoke rings floating above his head like halos. He turns and adds more logs to the fire keeping the shop nice and toasty warm.

Lekunai

Lekunai finishes sharpening Alorns new throwing knives she tests them out a few times throwing them at the dummy in the corner before sharpening them again. She cleans herself up getting the ash and sweat off her body. Then she takes the knives out to the front of the shop. She smiles brightly at the two new people in the shop". Hello and welcome to the Great Tundra Blacksmith shop." She says kindly to the new guy and girl in the shop. After that she turns to Alorn holding out a tray with his new knives on them bright and shiny". Here are your new throwing knives. There made with a steel and iron making them very strong and light. So it'll be harder to break them if you hit a boulder again." At the last part she teases but she was serious about them being durable.

(Sorry it took me so long all of my post on CS I'm typing on my tablet so it takes a bit more time than I like to get a post up. But when I do get it up it's usually good XD)

Luke
Smiled. "I had a sister named Lilly once," he said. He looked at her hand for a moment before he briefly shook it. "My name's Luke." He looked up at the sound of raised voices.

Cole
Laughed. "Oh, it's divine," he said with a smile. "Never have I had the privilege of enjoying a day more." He shook his head, smiling. He looked up at Lekunai. "More so now," he said. He laughed. "Throwing knives at rocks, Jay, really?"

[XxMystic]

(Its fine. I'm on a kindle I understand lol it is annoying.)

~Isis~
Cessna stretched her big paws forward. She then pushed Farens hand up with her head. She watched as the punks took off running. Usually Cessna would have ran them off, but looks like she was off duty for awhile. Isis gave a grateful nod. "Thank you Faren.They need to learn their lesson one way or another." She said with a smile. "I'm Isis, it's nice to meet you." She said holding her hand out to shake his. "Perhaps e can make a deal. I trade you one or two of my paintings, for some medical herbs." Isis suggested

~Jay/Alorn.~
"Well, Tanno I can also cook!! We would love to do some work and cook....Well I would cook..don't hand Jay a pan to use." Alorn said glancing at Jay nervously expected some retaliation. Jay rolled his eyes with a smile."Well, that's probally true." He stated. When Lekunai came back with Alorns throwing knives, Alorn let out a whistle. "These look great miss!" He said picking them up and looking at them. Alorn chuckled about the boulder. "I don't plan on hitting anymore. I might cook great, and well...overall a friendlier person...*cough cough* Jay. But throwing knives is one of my flaws." Alorn admitted. Jay gave Alorn a glare. "Atleast you admit your aiming has been off." He smirked.
Jay turned to Cole at his comment, and held his arms up. "Hey!! That's Alorn, not me!" He chuckled at Coles statement. "You know me I usually burn my weapons before missing a target."

~Lilly~
"Oh, I'm sure your sister was beautiful then. It's a pleasure." She said usually siblings looked a like so she was just assuming his sister was a grand sight. Lilly overhead the conversation that was going on, and couldn't help but to wander over there. "What's the problem guards?" She said crossing her arms. She's always looked an upon people judging others. To her it was usually the person judging worth being judged. "This man would like to pass, so why aren't ou allowing him?" She questioned pushing questions on the guards.

[Shellpepper]

(((Ya me too- either my nook or my phone. Typing is a drag
Hey, also, sorry I forgot about Tanno and Ara for a sec )))

Luke
Stood back, watching from a couple feet behind her. He recognized the man they'd seen earlier and raised an eyebrow. What did he want in this place? Luke watched Lilly, somewhat startled by her commanding presence. He felt a small smile tugging at him.

Cole
Nodded in understanding. That sounded more accurate. He tapped his fingers on his damp sleeves, already mildly bored with their idleness and craving something to fiddle with. He leaned against a counter, his presence easy and calm except his quietly tapping fingers. "That does sound about like you," he agreed easily. "Hey- but I would love to put a brother's cooking to the test." Cole could eat like a crater at times- and when there was food available he often did so- but he hadn't seen much by way of sustenance in a good week or two.

Arabella
Nodded at Tanno and carefully removed her gloves from her stiff fingers. She set her pack down on the counter near Cole and opened it up, letting the contents lay out where they were visible. "I'll let you have a look then, sir," she said with a smile.

[Okami<3]

Faren

Faren shakes Isis's hand gently he turns her hand leans down and kisses the back of her hand". It's a pleasure to meet you too Isis." He says like a gentleman before straightening up releasing her hand and turning to Cessna rubbing the black leopard's head vigorously, cooning softly to the beast". Your a pretty kitty aren't you." He says then steps back with his arms out wide". Jump up on me Cessna lets see how strong you are." Faren says with a boyish grin.

Lekunai and Tanno

Lekunai laughs, blushing at Alorn's compliment and at their bantering each other". Thanks I learned from the best." She says and gestures to Tanno. Who was walking to the counter to look at Arabella's goods he none to lightly punches Lekunai's arm as he pass her". Ay lass you did learn from me but you have surpassed me years ago now you are in a league of your own." He says fatherly as he inspects the coal and metal scraps on the counter. Lekunai blushes again and rubs the back of her neck embarrassed. She puts the tray away under the counter locking it back up when she was done before going to one display case that held her crafted duel scimitars and Tanno's battle ax. It was always left unlock because the the weapons inside were their personal weapons. Lekunai takes out her scimitars and straps them to her waist. After that she addresses Tanno". I'm heading to the house do you need me to do anything." She asked politely as she puts on her thick cloak and scarf. Tanno nods then gestures to Jay, Alorn and Cole". Yes these people will be staying with us while the storm rages on so take the lads to the house while I finish my business deal with the lass here." He says not looking up from the counter as he fiddles with a piece of coal. Lekunai smiles and nods looking at the guys". I know all of you don't like the cold but we'll have to go out to get to the house so follow me when your ready." She says brightly and walks out the door into the storm to stand by what she assumed was one of their horse. A beautiful dark bay stallion.

Eric

The guard looked at Lilly and fidgets". Princess Lilly I can't let him pass because he looks suspicious and dangerous like he's looking to cause trouble. Especially with that black sash covering his right eye." The guard explained and Eric ran his hands through his white hair on the verge of knocking the guard flat out on his back. But he had better control of his emotions so he turns to the Princess and bows deeply". It's nice to meet you Princess. Unfortunately I wish it was under better circumstances." He says kindly then turns back to the guard". YOU!!" He looks at the Princess trying very hard not to cuss out the guards he goes with plan b he looks back at the guards". You blabbering baboons I was summoned here to get my new assignments then leave that's it but no you mindless idiots are keeping me stuck here so I can't do my job!!!" He says venomously before crossing his arms over his burly chest amd taps his foot keeping his angry under a closed lid.

(Yeah I'm glad I'm not the only one )

[XxMystic]

~Isis~
Isis smiled again at Farens gentleman ways. She bowed her head in thanks.
Isis chuckled looking at Cessna, who was lowering her head in question. "You know she is unusually large for her breed..so she packs a punch." Isis warned shrugging one shoulder to Cessna. Cessna flicked her tail back in forth before pushing her legs out into a jump. Isis tilted her head back slightly watching.

~Lilly~
Lilly raises an amused brow. "Looks to me your the ones being suspicious by not letting this young man pass, and take care of his duties." She said then turned back to the stranger when he bowed. She gave him a wry smile. "Please no need to bow." She says then turns back to the guards. "Let him pass, He says he has buisness here and you two are keeping him from them." She calmly says.

~Jay/Alron~
Alron turned to Cole, good! Then you'll never be hungry again with me!" He bragged
Jay and Alron both nod a thank you again, before getting back up. They put their gloves back on, and hoods. "You are joining us right Cole?" Jay asks to be sure. Jay and Alorn head out the door behind Lekunai. When they opened the door, the cold wind rushed at them biting their faces. Jay absolutely despises the cold, so he groaned walking over to Umbra who had a coat of snow. Umbra neighed and shook his self. The snow went all over Jay. Jay stood there for a moment frozen. "Really??" He questioned the horse, grabbing his reins to lead him on foot. If horses could laugh Umbra would be. Jay let out a sigh. "Thank you...You useless pack mule." Jay muttered, of course he didn't really mean it. Alron on the other hand, was having a great time laughing, his hawk even seemed amused. "Alron just remember I can kick you on your butt any day." Jay said starring at Alron.

[Shellpepper]

Luke
Watched the people before him with a honed sense of perception born of years of practice. He crossed his arms, wondering at how far the white - haired guy's self control really stretched. He cocked his head as he watched Lilly- the princess!- speak. To him, it seemed the guards were in the right. "Does he have proof of his orders? Seems to me, that'd be the quickest way to get this show on the road," he offered. His voice was low, but loud enough to be heard. He didn't exactly want to get in a fight with white-y, but he also felt for the stubborn guards. Just trying to do their jobs.

Cole
Nodded to Jay and tugged his gloves back on. He bowed his head to Arabella and Tanno, then dodged out after Jay and Alron. He didn't mind the cold too much. Sure, living out in it was far less than pleasant, but in general it wasn't too bad. His fire Gem helped with that, too. He noticed a medium sized red dog camped out in the shelter of a parked cart and felt a twinge of sympathy for the brute. He called for it but was ignored. He shrugged- maybe it was feral or something- and kept following.

Arabella
Let him look things over in polite silence for a moment, then said, "Most of it's iron, some is steel and some, I'll openly admit, I don't know."

[Okami<3]

Faren

Faren nods excitedly to Isis". Yep that just makes it more fun." He answers quickly before Cessna jumps at him. When the leopard hits his chest he sits back on his haunches, wrapping his arms around the large cat snuggly". Aww your such a good leopardess. Watch the horns I don't want to hurt you" He says setting the cat back down on the ground gently scratching under her chin and rubbing her ears. Then looks at Isis with a wide grin". Would you like to join me for lunch I would enjoy your company?" He asked kindly hoping she would say yes. But if she said no he wouldn't pester her about and be on his merry way.

Eric

The guards not wanting to follow the order do as she says and steps aside for Eric to pass. Eric looks at the Princess and nods respectfully instead of bowing". Thank you Princess I owe you one." He says gratefully then he looks at the guy behind them and arches an eyebrow". Yes I have proof of my orders I showed the idiots when I first got here but did they believe me no!!!!!!" He says unballing a piece of paper showing it to the guy. It said Eric Orcslayer warrior of the wildlands when you are done with your current assignments to return to the Ferden High Court Castle for your next set of assignments signed by all three of the King's advisors. He folds the paper back up then nods to all of them before dashing pass the guards running to the castle doors late enough as it is. He runs through the castle to the counsel room. Where some of the King's advisors awaited for him. He enters the room and bows to all of them". Sorry I am late the guards wouldn't let me through." He explains before he got his can chewed out for being late.

Lekunai

Lekunai was able to duck at the last second before the horse showered Jay with snow. When she stood back up see Jay covered in snow like a snowman she laughs so hard so had to lean against the horse to keep herself up right". Come on boys the sooner we get out of this storm the sooner all of us can get warmed up in the house. There's a stables attached to the house so we can put your. What did you call him? Oh yes useless pack mule can go to get out of the weather as well." She yells over the wind giggles then starts making a path through the thigh high snow for the others to walk behind her. She walks past the house and turns at the corner and keeps walking untill they arrive at a gate leading to a large pasture and the door to the stables. She opens the gate and waits for them to walk all the way in before closing the gate behind. She trudged up to the sliding door to the stables and groans when she sees the thick ice covering the handle. Taking her gloves off she uses her fire magic to thaw the ice and slides the door open just enough for all of them to enter. As soon as they entered the stables she closes the door behind them and sighs". You can put your horse in any of the stalls on the left side of the stables. I wouldn't put him in the one stall on the right." She says taking off her cloak and gloves. The stables were huge ten horse stalls on the left as well as the tack room and one huge stall to the right. The ceiling was twelve feet from the ground and the gate to the stall on the right was was ten feet high. You couldn't see anything in the stall on the right but you could hear something big move around in the stall rustling the hay as it moved.

[Shellpepper]

Luke
Successfully smothered a glare. Ok. Now the guards were just stupid. He shook his head and looked at Lilly. "Princess, huh?" He looked her up and down briefly, jokingly. "Never seen one up close before."

Cole
Walked in and looked around. Curious as ever, he peered into the occupied stall. "What's in there?"
