Dissent V.2 (Private rp)

[ty_tay]

Pallon grunted as Rin cuffed him. He smiled slightly as Rin Sat on him and he turned his head further to look back at her. "I wasnt..." His skin shivvered and he tried to stifle a chuckle. "Quit it before I roll off the bed with you..."

"Tried it. She nearly took my fingers off. Her sister on the otherhand..." Amelia looked down at the hound.

Xinca lifted her head to look at Nivallia and huffed back.

Ryne chuckled and quickly followed Rettika into the kitchen with the basket in hand. "So, what'r we makin?"

Mage grumbled curses as he stiffly and sorely moved away from the table.

The boy smiled. His mouth didnt move as his voice sounded, it eld a bit more emotion. "I... I am a watcher... And you can calm yourself brother of shadows. I will cause no harm to your kin..." He moved to sit crosslegged on the bed. "I know because I watch."

[ScarletFang]

"Promise"? Rin smiled devilishly before she ran her fingers down the length of his ribs and back up to curl around his shoulders and massage them. She leaned forward and kissed his cheek with an apologetic glance as she continued to try and loosen his muscles, "I'm sorry for the hit, but I couldn't tell if you were being an a** or not".

"Well you ain't worth much like this now are you furball"? Nivallia stood once again and looked to the frustrated Amelia, "Hmmm my specialty lies in birds m'dear, so all I can tell is this animal doesn't have a lick of respect for you. You need to earn it somehow".

Rettika flitted about thenkitchen, collecting ingredients and bowls. "I was thinking good old fashioned fruit pancakes? We can even make them different colors with juices"! She smiled as she worked.

Kalten glanced back to his brother and then to the apparent living shadow on his bed with a smirk. He slowly took one step after another before coming to sit across from the boy on his bed, "Alright then, I'll play along. What's your name kid? Or do I just call you watchie"?

[ty_tay]

Pallon squirmed until Rin began massaging his shoulders. He gave an appreciative sigh and smiled softly at her. "You dont have to apologize. I probably deserved it for one thing or another, or i would have earned it later." Even though he was relaxed his muscles still seemed to be tensed and not willing to give way to Rin hands.

Xinca growled slightly in response to Nivallia.

Amelia shook her head. "Thanks for the effort. The trick is figuring out how..."

Ryne grinned. "Sounds delicious..." He set the basket on the counter. "Tell me what you need me to do. i'm afraid I've never really cooked much before besides meat and then it was usually scorched..."

The boy 'watched' Kalten and continued to smile. "I had a name once long ago. It's rarely used now. Most people have forgotten... Naviren..."

[ScarletFang]

"Aye but you can bet there will be more of these in your future" Rin giggled as she planted little pecks around what part of Pallon's face was visible. She continued to try and work out Pallon's tense muscles, "I'm afraid to ask, but I'll do it anyway because I love you... why so tense"?

Nivallia laughed and shrugged, "Just playing my part. Well there's the usual way of showing your on the same side, maybe protecting Tohveir as they would"? She smirked at the gently growling hound.

Rettika stopped for a second and thought, "Think you can mash these to get their juice"? She placed four different bowls of fruit sorted by color infront of him with an ecstatic grin, "I'll get to work on the batter"!

Kalten relaxed slightly and reached out a hand in greeting, "Hello Naviren... I'm Kalten, but something tells me you already knew that". He eyed the bandage over his eyes, "So how do you see"?

[ty_tay]

Pallon chuckled and purred. His purring stoped as Rin spoke her question. He closed his eyes and turned his head away some. "You dont want to know." His muscles tensed even more but relaxed again to their previous tensed state.

Amelia brushed her bang back. "I could try it, but I dont think it would work that easily."

Ryne nodded with a grin. He went to mashing the berries, and proved to be very efficient with the skill. The way he worked seemed to imply he had worked with herbs and medicines before, and managed to get as much out of the fruits as possible.

Naviren leaned back away from Kaltens hand and shook his head. "You dont want that..." He looked back up to Kaltens face. "The things around us tell us everything we need to know. Examples... A wife tries to soothe her love from things he doesnt want her to know. A hound, jealous of her masters mate, refuses to obey. A man recounts memories of his past while enjoying his work, though they be painful; he enjoys the company of the one with a thousand wings. A king recounts his past with his son who can not quite comprehend... A boy fears for his future, but refuses to fail his family."

[ScarletFang]

Rin frowned with concern but otherwise didn't say anything as she rolled off of his back and did the only thing she could at a time like this. She gently wrapped an arm around his head and gently pulled him into her hold, "Pallon...". Her voice was painful as if she had been physically hit.

Nivallia shrugged yet again, "She's a dog, she has a pack, that's as much canine information you're getting out of me. You want anything else and you'll have to ask Rin".

Rettika was whisking the batter into a thick paste when she came to check on Ryne, "Oh that looks perfect! You never really said what you did work with yesterday. I mean besides the fire and burning things and old men". She slowly added a few cups of sugar to the mixture then picked up the first finished bowl.

Kalten watched the specter of sorts with wide eyes as he listed off the thoughts and feelings of everyone in the house. It took him a minute but he finally understood all he spoke, "That's... how did you do that? Can I do that"? He retracted his hand slowly with a dumbfounded stare, "Why are you telling me all this"?

[ty_tay]

Pallon shifted and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her. "Rin, please... I dont want you to have to share in my horrors, but I dont want to hurt you either... When you sound like that I cant help but feel its my fault." He looked her in the eyes, his glassy from tears he refused to shed.

Amelia sighed and nodded. She looked back to Xinca. "I'd call her stupid but I know thats not true..."

Ryne grinned proudly at Rettikas praise. "Thank you!" He went silent for a moment. "In the army it didnt matter what I was trained for. They made me fight, shed blood that I didnt want on my hands... I was trained to use magic to help, not really to destroy. Use it only when necessary. I spent a lot of time learning herbs, brewing oils, potions, concotions and the like. Making salves and balms. Things that people take for granted until they need them and dont know how to make them."

Naviren seemed to chuckle though it was silent. "I'm sorry, but its something I cant teach you... Someday you will be able to perhaps... Its not something I can explain either. I just feel them." He cocked his head slightly. "Why teach a child to walk? It will surely lead to them falling, getting hurt, going their own way and leaving their loved ones behind..."

[ScarletFang]

Rin hushed her husband and hugged him closer, "It's ok, it's alright Pallon, you don't have to say a thing and I'm sorry I can't help it. I can't stand when you're in pain, it hurts knowing I can't do anything to help the man I love".

Nivallia laughed, "Aye but you need a stronger word than stubborn"! She grinned and looked back down to Xinca, "What is it puppy? Too much of a woos to actually do your job"? She snorted with a wicked grin.

Rettika stopped sturring for a moment to watch Ryne and placed a gentle hand on his arm, "That just means you special in a way no one see can be. You help people, and not everyone can be as knowledgeable". She waved at him to use herself as an example, "War is never the solution. The unwilling die for the ungrateful in a battle than both sides ultimately lose". She took up the second bowl and poured the juices in abother bowl of batter.

"And it gives them freedom that they've never known before, a new start at life, creating in them a wonder that could eventually change the world for the better... maybe even bring them back to the family they never knew they had" Kalten replied with a grin, "Two sides to every story yaknow"?

[ty_tay]

Pallon squeezed Rin, but not enough to hurt her, and buried his face in her hair, finding comfort with her. He let his muscles relax slowly and trembled slightly as he did so. He wouldve been shaking before had he not kept his body so tense.

Amelia chuckled some. "True, but whats stronger than stubborn?"

Xinca huffed in response, and as soon as Nivallia looked away she rolled to sweep the Dumerrin womans feet out from under her.

Ryne smiled at her. "You know far more things than I do about other things, how to cook for one... but thank you..." He was just finishing the third bowl as she took the second.

Naviren smiled and nodded. "exactly... But theres more than two sides"

[ScarletFang]

Rin remained silent and ran her fingers through Pallon's hair before the soft noises behind them made her cling to Pallon so much more, "Be strong love, like I know you are". She pulled back and scooted to the edge of the bed before standing and going over to the hanging crib to pick up her son and return to the bed with him.

Liam watched his parents while he cooed softly. He hiccupped a few times before threatening to cry as his little belly gurgled and growled.

Nivallia fell back towards the wall and barely caught herself with a surprising smile, "I can name a few". She listed off one foul name after another, never taking her gaze from the hound on the floor, "Come on ya little s*** I know you got more to you than just that pitiful attempt"!

Rettika smiled and nodded before mixing in the juice for the second batch, "That's not entirely true... I know how people see me around here. I'm just a nature loving ditz, but I'm ok with that, because they hurt. If I can lessen their pain, then I'll put up with their insults that aren't even real".

Kalten looked at the boy with a weary grin, "And just how is that? Unless you're counting yourself...". He scooted backwards slightly, both curious and still suspicious.
