Academy of Drell, Part 6

Ocean or no ocean, Rallyn has to get that smell out of his sensitive nose, he takes a quick rough wash in the warm ocean current, being careful to stay in the shallows within sight.

Paendaerig looks around at the tracks trying to discern where Glukma might have gone. "Hey I am going to look around over here." He says quietly to anyone within earshot.
 

Keith pauses at the campsite, and then cleans himself off in the waters, sighing, "Humph, I am glad Rallyn can be so diplomatic with your sensitive feelings Sildarin, but you will need to toughen up some, and stop acting like a scared little child. I don't mean to be gruff, but if you have a problem with me or anyone then say it, if you are hurt, and need assistance, let us know, but your little scared child act, is annoying, and counter-productive. We should not have to molly coddle you," Keith takes a seat.

"I don't tell people what they like to here, I tell them what they need to here, and I hope you would do the same," Keith looks up, "Your a hero, start acting like you have a pair, this little scared kid act is annoying."

Lyrique who is washing near Sildarin says In elvish "Enough. Keith you are a pompus windbag and a poor excuse for a sentient life form. Sildarin has been holding back complaining about his injuries because they weren't even his! He healed Boromin without even questioning doing so and you have the audasity to berate him for it! And lets talk bravery... Where were you when we all were fighting to save the Academy? Sildarin swan out to the longboat and single handedly took out an Orc. YOU appeared 'magicly' after all the work was done. NEVER talk to anyone of my friends like that again or you will find out how powerful I am." Lyrique simply stares at Keith waiting for a responce.
 

Keith looks to Lyrique, "Now who is being pompous, oh powerful Lyrique, I can see that Sildarin cannot speak for himself, but you feel the need to awe me with your power... I say what I see, where was I, I had lost my way, and not finding sight of my comrades did what I could, I had my own travails, my own battles, perhaps not as grand as yours, mighty Lyrique, but I had my own tests..."

Keith stood, "I will say what I like, when I like, I have nothing against Sildarin, outside of his meakishness, and the suspsicion that he holds a grudge aginst my personage, for whatever percieved slight there may be."

"I am well aware of the fact that he helped, Boromin, but if we were attacked, and he was injured, and none knew how grievously he could have been a liaibility, especially with giants out and about, mighty Lyrique, perhaps since you are so powerful why don't you posture towards them, and not me, for certainly they are your enemy, and not I," Keith responds, looking back to Lyrique.

Rallyn finishes washing and wades back to help the others investigate the area where Glukma's tracks disappear.

They are both right you know. Karenia offered.

Rallyn rolls his eyes as he gains secure footing ashore. Do you have to take up for everyone? Keith may be right that Sildarin could do with a little more regard for himself, but being aggravated with Sildarin's personality is his own problem and he should get over it. And Lyrique, while he is acting on good intentions, is just prolonging the issue. We have more important things to deal with than either of their ego's.

"They could go on for half an hour without accomplishing anything," he mutters aloud as he reaches the rest of the group.

We've got more important things to do. Like saving our lives and those of our families and friends. No pressure..
 

"Ever the diplomat, my friend, ever the diplomat." Mortimer rolls his eyes at Keith's rebuttal of Sildarin, ignoring the subsequent argument in Elvish. I really need to brush up on my languages. I don't have the first idea what they're going on about...

Mortimer wades a little way out into the warm sea water, trying to clean himself up a little. "Gods know, I'll be in no hurry to do that again." He mutters to himself.
 

"You forget yourself. All you have proven yourself to be is a petty thug. I may be grandstanding just a bit but at least I take people for who thay are and not who they aught to be in my eyes I treat them as equils. You excluded from that statement as you have proven that you are not worth the effort." Lyrique sees the others have noticed their argument and says "This is not over. I will not allow you to berate people to make yourself feel important." Lyrique sits down and tries to calm himself.

Keith replies in elven, "Just shut up and sit down, this petty argument of clashing egos is boring me, I have nothing to prove to you, Lyrique."

Keith stays standing, waiting to see what happens, "two things can happen here Lyrique we fight amongst ourselves, and weaken our team, or we put this aside, I have nothing against you, lets not make this personal."
 

"Keith, after this situation is dealt with we will have a discussion of how to treat people in the world outside your pathetic excuse for a world view. But you are right in the fact that this should not be discussed here." Lyrique addresses the others in common "My friends excuse my behavior. I have issues with bullies and have reacted badly to one." He looks pointedly at Keith than changes the topic "So what do we do about the villagers? Gods knows what is happening to them. I say we start a search party tomorrow and scour the edges of the island. what do you all think?"
