Chantilly SweettoothHP: 27/27 - AC: 16 - Perception: 15 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: Yes " That's no laughing matter, Z.! Pies are serious business!" - she said with a certain gravitas, following it with a playful smile. Chantilly then assumed a thoughtful pose: " Let's see, there are meat pies, pot pies, cottage pies.." A rumbling from her own stomach interrupted her train of thought. " Err, I suppose even a simple steak with some potatoes would do, what do you say?" Maybe she could also bring some to that guy at the kitchen ware stall, the food in his plate didn't look that good.

"Ah, not exactly," Eliana says. "It is going to sound weird," she admits almost sheepishly as she looks at Henry for a moment. "He told me you and I would make a good match, which probably is a good assessment. That isn't what made me mad because we probably would make a good match," Eliana admits thoughtfully. "I'm not really sure how to explain it because I'm not really sure what exactly happened. I just know what he said made me mad." She hadn't quite pinpointed what exactly the feeling was. "I guess I need a little time to sort out the confusion, and I'll have to apologize later."

Henry - HP: 28\28 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: None"Ah, not exactly," Eliana says. "It is going to sound weird," she admits almost sheepishly as she looks at Henry for a moment. "He told me you and I would make a good match, which probably is a good assessment. That isn't what made me mad because we probably would make a good match," Eliana admits thoughtfully. "I'm not really sure how to explain it because I'm not really sure what exactly happened. I just know what he said made me mad." She hadn't quite pinpointed what exactly the feeling was. "I guess I need a little time to sort out the confusion, and I'll have to apologize later." "Well, it is weird." Henry scratches the back of his head, an awkward look on his face; he stays silent for a bit, then put his hand forward like he's trying to stop Eliana "Please don't get mad at me, but let me try to un-weird this. At least, give me a warning you're getting mad so I can start running." says half-jokingly "Look, Caelin fancies you. I mean, it's so obvious. So-obvious-you-roll-your-eyes obvious." he rests the hand on his own chest "Cue my arrival. Caelin and I butt heads, there's competition between the two of us - he wants to do things his way, I want my way and we're both stubborn. Doesn't help that he met Conard before knowing me." the squire chuckles a bit, then shrugs "He feels like there's competition for your affection too. And seeks reassurance. So he remarks that you and I would be a good match hoping you would say..." he clears his throat, then starts talking with a high-pitched voice and affected movements in a comical imitation of Eliana "Oh no Caelin, you're the only one for me. How could you even believe I would be interested in Henry?"

"Running away might not be wise," Eliana points out. "I might give chase," she teases before she starts laughing at Henry's imitation of herself. "Ah, maybe he does," she finally says while still giggling lightly. "But there are times that I don't think he actually sees me," she explains. "It has happened a few times since I've known him, and it happened right before he fell. I had wanted to ask him about it, but then he pulled that whole "you and Henry would make a good match" statement." Eliana looks down at the ground for a few moments as she thinks about the whole situation, then shakes her head and looks back up to Henry. "I don't think he was seeking reassurance, at least not completely because he sounded as if he was conceding to you," she explains. "Otherwise, I think he would have given me a chance to say...something."

Zakkoth nodded. 'Very well. It will do"He won't admit it even under torture, but he liked telling his story anyway- He just didn't wanted to look like an emotionaly open being.

Chantilly SweettoothHP: 27/27 - AC: 16 - Perception: 15 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: Yes Chantilly clapped her hands excitedly, once again the power of good food was able to crack even the toughest walls. She scratched her nose as she carefully pondered about the question to ask. She didn't want to risk Zakkoth to shut down again, who knew when an opportunity like this would arise again. After all, draconians were such mysterious creatures. The half-kender eventually decided to start with the most important question: " So..can you fly?" - she asked while oogling his wings.

"Otherwise, I think he would have given me a chance to say...something." "He didn't let you say anything because he also fears rejection. I mean, he told everyone his own mother sold him. You can't be more rejected than that. Believe me, I know." he shrugs, even though he's smiling he also seems a little in pain - like an old wound that still aches sometimes "The fellow is full of insecurities. He has been kicked his whole life - he has been kicked just yesterday. Those two, Cyanwrath and Mondath, were pretty hard on him. Have to be honest, I don't like Caelin much but I felt bad for the fellow." he shrugs again, then sighs and shakes his head "And you might be right in saying that he doesn't actually sees you. Reckon he doesn't really see anyone - way too much anger, too much pain. Makes difficult to let himself see anything past that." then Henry raises both hands, like he's trying to stop someone "Look, Eliana. Let's stop talking about Caelin. Let's talk about you. What do you exactly want?" the squire tsks and shakes his head a bit "I mean, you keep repeating about that whole 'you and I would be a good match' and I kinda feel there's something you're not telling me."

Zakkoth smile, all dragon beings probably had almost insrinctual pleasure from gloating. "Yes. Not as an actual dragon does... but yes."

Caelin Valaerys, pariah of TakhisisARMOR CLASS: 14 | HIT POINTS: 24 | CURRENT: 24 | HIT DIE: 3d8 | CURRENT: 3d8 PASSIVE PERCEPTION: 15 | PASSIVE INSIGHT: 17 | INSPIRATION: 1 Caelin looked from Benyt back to the crowd, scanning for the old fool, his broad shoulders, hunched back, and draconic features made it diffcult for the mystic to hide. "Ah!" Caelin exclaimed to his companion, "There he is." He moved deftly through the crowd, as it parted, he noted that smaller form of Chantilly beside him, grilling him with questions, though the rugged old mystic was smiling a frighteningly toothy grin, so he seemed to be enjoying it. He walked up behind him and slapped the scaley shoulders, "There you are! What trouble have you two been up to?!"

Chantilly SweettoothHP: 27/27 - AC: 16 - Perception: 15 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: Yes Zakkoth smile, all dragon beings probably had almost insrinctual pleasure from gloating. "Yes. Not as an actual dragon does... but yes."The first "Yes" was enough to make Chantilly go "oooh" as she looks in awe at Zakkoth's wings, not even hearing the rest of the phrase. She nodded solemny as she went on with her interview: " Let's see... Is your family also here? Or do you come from somewhere else?" - as soon as she finished saying her question out loud she bit her lips. That's two questions at once, dummy you, Chantilly!Praying that wasn't enough to break their deal, she smiled at the newly-arrived Caelin: " We're paying a visit to Z's friend, to check on him and bring him a good cuppa ale." - before motioning him to not interrupt Zakkoth's tale.

Two questions are still at Zakkoth's mental capaciry to deal with. And he won't admit it, but he enjoy the attention. "I was hatched at Neraka. The screams of the human sacrfices were my lullaby. Nowdays, Teyr is my home. And no.. this place is no home for me." He pause, his indulegnce from the attention become more somber as he talk about Leoshin. "...I owe my soul and life to him. I was about to kill myself..."

"Well, I wasn't actually looking for advice," Eliana admits. "I was simply venting," she says with a small shrug. "But, to put it bluntly, I do like Caelin." She doesn't appear to be shy or embarrassed about admitting that fact either. "But, he does have issues that he is going to have to work out on his own, so I've been letting things just play out however they play out," she explains thoughtfully. "I'm just not used to being rejected." She realizes she sounds like a spoiled little rich girl, but that is what she is. She clears her throat a bit, as she seems suddenly embarrassed. Admitting she likes someone isn't embarrassing, but admitting that she is a spoiled rich girl is a little embarrassing. "But, enough about me. I dragged you away so you wouldn't have to face Nighthill alone."

Chantilly SweettoothHP: 27/27 - AC: 16 - Perception: 15 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: Yes Chantilly heard about Neraka, her mother warned her that it was a "no-no place" to go, but since apparently only bad people lived there she had no real interest in going there, no way her father would be in a place like that! The name Teyr didn't ring any bell, but she thought that maybe it was a place where good dragons like Zakkoth lived. It definitely seemed a much interesting place to visit. However, she didn't have time to express this thought as what the draconian said next made her audibly gasp. " Kill yourself? Why?" - why would anyone kill themselves? Maybe it was like that time Milo Woodcutter said he couldn't wait to die to meet his brother again so they could explore the outer planes together..? " ..Did you want to go on an adventure?" - she asked hesitantly.

Zakkoth chuckle. "I haven't noticed you angry boy." He say to Caelin "No moping so much, after the attention of the ladies. Aye?" His laugh is crude. He sigh at Chantilly question "No. Quite the opposite. I have lost... my meaning to live. But Leoshib gifted me with a new meaning" He is a bit more vague here. Zakkoth liked the little half kender... but it will probably won't be bright to openly admit he was a priest of Takhisis.
