Academy of Drell, Part 7

[Jarval]

Mortimer wakes at Lyrique voice singing out.

"Gods, it's too early in the morning to be that cheery..." He grumbles, rubbing his eyes. He runs his hand back through his hair, and takes a sip from his waterskin before responding.

"Good idea, Keith. Since no-one seems to be about, we might as well use this place."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Lyrique moves to whisper to Charlotte "Don't you think we should be worring about our people and what they are going through? Is there any way to remind Keith without setting a Pissing match off again?""

 

[Velenne]

Travellios, having only needed a few hours of meditation as well, busied the remaining night hours studying and inspecting the tower as insofar as he felt safe doing.

Lyrique
"Don't you think we should be worrying about our people and what they are going through? Is there any way to remind Keith without setting a Pissing match off again?""

"What are you talking about?" Charlotte asks, sleep still apparent in her eyes. "I don't quite follow you."

She then narrows her eyes at him. "And if you ever wake us up by singing again... so help me, I'll stab you with something."

 

[Jeremy]

Rallyn looks for some kind of humor or jest in Charlotte's second statement, as he kind of liked the singing waking (as opposed to shouts of alarm or screams of pain) and is saddened to find none.

He busies himself collecting his things and keeps to himself.

 

[GnomeWorks]

Hey Zhure, you wouldn't happen to have a calendar handy, would you? Also, I need the current date, if you can provide that.

Thanks much!

Rallyn looks for some kind of humor or jest in Charlotte's second statement, as he kind of liked the singing waking (as opposed to shouts of alarm or screams of pain) and is saddened to find none.

He busies himself collecting his things and keeps to himself.

Keith glances to Rallyn, "You have been silent little gnome, what do you suggest for the day's activities."

 

[Jeremy]

Rallyn considers for a moment and shrugs, "I think you guys are right."

"Careful look around," he says as he finishes hefting his pack onto his back and readies his short spear.

 

[GnomeWorks]

Charlotte sits for a moment in silence, a slightly vacant look in her eyes.

Why am I so rude?
...
Aren't you going to talk to me?
Not when you're like this.
I hate you.
...
Say something!
...
...

She then turns, so that her back is facing the rest of the group, and starts sobbing.

Damn it, damn it, damn it... why here, why now? Why do I have to be so rude! I could've been a little nicer... the singing was nice... but I don't know what he was talking about... and I'm tired... I'm sick of all this fighting... but we have to... I'm so confused...

 

[Jeremy]

Rallyn looks up, confused, then looks to Keith for a moment before walking over to Charlotte and giving her a pat mid-back and strained smile up at her.

"Don't let it get to you Charlotte. I know it's hard. I feel it too."

He tries to sound reassuring and looks to Keith for additional help.
