Eragon RP v.2

[fletch]

Bayard nodded quickly as a thanks to Akyra, but then he frowned. "I can do it on my own. You don't need to help, you're still hurt." He looked back at Kakana, seeing her aid Ailene. He began the trek back to the castle steadily. Luckily it wasn't too far, considering that he hadn't chased the elf very far from where Ailene and him had walked. And...Ailene couldn't go very far on her leg, anyway. He was painfully aware that he was going slow, but he didn't want to drop Jamie and he was pretty exhausted.
And as he walked, he looked back at Akyra. "Where did you go? Ehr...S'not a good time to talk about it, but you've been gone for some time. I almost thought they got you, too."

-

Alright. Well, I'm coming down. I need to get away from all these...people for a bit. That was partially true, but Kirby also just wanted to be near someone he...sort of knew. Even if it was a dragon. But then again, if he was to hang around dragons for some time, he may as well get used to it. And being near a dragon he sort of knew was the first step to curing his little 'fear'. He didn't exactly know his way around, but after going into a few wrong rooms (ladies bathroom), he eventually found it. The stairs that led down to the cellar. It would look creepy, and knowing there was a dragon down there made it even more creepy. He stepped down and opened the door.
"'Ello?"

[нana ѕong]

Akyra waves him off, helping anyways. "Im well enough," is her only comment as she helps carry some of Jaimes weight. Her ind kept drifting back towards what she had heard at Ellesméra, her mind spinning. The elves off all species had allied with the rouge dragons? That simply did not make sense. Of course the proof was before her though. She had fought her own kin. Though she couldnt kill him at any rate. She sighs, her head starting to hurt from thinking about it. Her thoughts were interrupted by Bayards voice again. A slight frown tugs at the corner of her lips as she debates telling him the truth, but opts against it. "Just around. See if i could find the dragons lair so to speak," she lies easily, turning back to the path ahead. Maybe she would tell him later. Maybe.

Storm blinks in surprise at that, lifting her head from her paws as she gazes at the door. At least she had light. She already felt like a prisoner down here, so if they would have left her in the dark she probably would have destroyed the place. Alright, she finally replies before waiting patiently. After a few moments, she sees the door open, followed by Kirby's voice. Im here, Storm replies, watching him carefully.

[fletch]

Bayard sighed, as the castle began to come into view. His arms were killing him. He gave a small sigh, and glanced at Akyra again, as best he could while holding Jamie. "He saved my life, y'know. I wasn't sure about it, at first...but now I know. If he hadn't done it, I would be in his position right now." He winced as a particularly bright ray of light shone down on them, blinding him temporarily. "And I don't know why. We've hated each other. I hated him. And that's awful for me saying, because of Ailene..." And as they were going down the path just by the doors, Bayard's exhaustion caught up with him and he collapsed onto a knee. Only the remainder of his energy kept himself from dropping Jamie, as well.
"Agh...dammit. We gotta get some healers out here," He muttered, trying to catch his breath.

-

Kirby startled at the sound of her voice slightly, but then tried to calm himself. He came down and sat on the steps just by the door of the cellar and peered out. He couldn't quite make out where Storm was, but he knew she was down here. Sorry. I don't know what made me come down here. I just thought that maybe... He paused, thinking. That maybe if I was going to live around dragons for a little while, I may as well get used to it. And...well, you're the only dragon around right now.

[нana ѕong]

Akyra nods faintly, not saying a thing, but listening. "Things change..." She finally says, rather softly, after he has finished. She meant it too. Things always changed, feelings, events, everything. It could be slightly frustrating at times, but it was necessary after all. As Bayard falls on his knee, she curses, looking between the two, having no choice but to lower herself as well. Her own legs had been shaking. "I'll get the healers," she says before removing Jaimes arm from her shoulders. She looks at the castle and stands before saying to Bayard privately. I will find the healers, but Elf poison is tricky. Just...dont expect much. I will see what we can do though... She says before jogging off.
~ ~ ~
Storm remains still, practically scenting his fear like a predator and doesnt want to scare him. Their are a lot of dragons to fear young one. I am not one of them, she assures, as she watches him. I am just by the stairs. If you come down i will be a few paces away, she adds. To provide a bit more light, she blows a quick puff of fire at the lantern, sending some light around them so he could see her.

[fletch]

Just...please don't let him die. Bayard mumbled after Akyra, though she was probably beyond range now. Feeling Jamie's weight bear down on him, he removed the unconscious rider from his shoulders and lay him on the ground in front of him, propping his back against Bayard's knee. The idea that he couldn't do anything but wait was unbearable.
Why would he save me, anyway? Bayard thought to himself. He glanced down at Jamie. It was too clear now that it was, indeed, a lethal poison. Or at least, something terrible. There's still so many things I don't understand about him. Most of all, his reasons for being protective over Ailene...yet he barely speaks to her. I guess the whole 'bounty-hunter' thing sort of comes into play there. But... His thoughts trailed off.

-

Kirby cautiously came down the rest of the steps and then jumped at a puff of fire. Oh--okay. He said, jittery. Right. Right. You do that. Okay. He paused, finally taking in Storm. She certainly was a bit larger than the other dragons he'd seen, probably due to age. Uhm...so hi. It was more fear than awkwardness, but a little bit of that, too. Really, he'd come down just to face his fear, but now...now he wasn't sure what to do.

[нana ѕong]

Akyra hears what Bayard says, but doesnt answer. Of course she would do what she could. She soon makes it to the healers, the one lady there gasping at what she had to look like. "Sorry 'bout the blood. Someones been poisoned. We need help quickly," she states, already ducking out. She doesnt get far, when she hears a second set of steps following after her, knowing the healer was behind her. Hopefully everything would be alright.

Storm watches him, her head still on her paws hoping to not seem as intimidating. Still nervous? I promise i will not hurt you, she replies after a moment, relaxing. And their is no need for you to speak in your mind anymore if you do not want to, she adds as an after thought. Another point to my previous comment. If something were to happen, im sure i will be the one to save you if needed. The both of us. For some reason, that girl seems to like you, Storm adds, obviously referring to Akyra.

Shoulders slumped, she placed her hands together, wrists on the stair railing. It seemed she was staring off into space.. But Ailene had blinked a few times. Breathing heavily, she turned back towards the healing room, and sat at the edge of the bed. Was it stupid to cry? Yes, yes it was. Having her hand cover her face, she began to cry, growing heavier, as her elbows were on her legs, hands supporting her face.

Jamie's eyes were forced open, a disgusting ray of light planted on his face. "Ugh.." he tried to roll, but all he earned was a wince. "Oh.. just let me go. I don't like pain.." came a wheezing, and cracking voice.

[fletch]

Bayard's thoughts were interrupted by Jamie speaking. "Oh god--you're awake." He glanced down at the rider and suddenly felt utterly self conscious and embarrassed having Jamie partially leaning up against his knee. "Uhm...just hang in there. Help's coming." He glanced back at the castle where Akyra had disappeared, praying she'd come in time. "Yeah. Yeah...I don't like pain much either. But you've gotta deal with it. Isn't that something that bounty hunters do?" It came off a little sarcastic, but the intention was there. He never had deal much with bounty hunters...aside from during his travels with Warrick, he'd met one in a village. But they'd never exchanged many words, and Bayard wasn't an outwardly social person to exchange many words with strangers.

-

Well...that's gratifying. At her next words, he instantly went red. Uh...she does? Kirby knew it wasn't as 'more than a friend', that was obvious. The age difference between them was...something hard to get by. But it still made him feel embarrassed and a bit edgy. Oh. That's cool...I guess. Then he cleared his throat and switched to his voice. It came out a bit hoarse at first. "Where do you think everyone's gone, anyway? I thought that--" He winced at the sound of steps from above. They sounded rushed. Was something going on?

[goneleft]

James face contorted as he realized who was with him.. "Sort of. But no. We're.. skilled. Men of little words and.. we don't really get hurt. Though if we do, it's okay.. But this hurts." He muttered with a sigh, eyes closing once again..
"..I do have something else to say, though.." And he broke of, wheezing.

[нana ѕong]

Akyra makes her way out of the castle, the healer just behind her. "Elf poison..." She says simply. At that, she instantly gets another skeptical look, but promptly ignores it as the healer kneels beside the two boys. She looks at Bayard, somewhat apologetically, before darting back inside. How selfish was she?! The moment she comes back, she goes straight for more trouble without seeing her dragon. Granted they needed her help but still...
~ ~ ~
Storm rolls her eyes a bit at the comment before smiling faintly at his surprised expression. Of course. I think you remind her of herself. That would be my assumption anyways, the silver dragon replies. That was true. She saw it herself, the similarities between them. At the running though, her eyes widen, and her tail thumps lightly against the stone floor like an excited puppies. Thats Akyras steps! Something must have happened...but at least shes back! Storm replies back happily, lifting her head to peer past Kirby towards the door, her riders shape appearing in the doorway shortly after.
