Academy of Drell, Part 7

[GnomeWorks]

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

"Thanks, Rallyn." Charlotte says, her voice shaky. "It's just... I'm sorry... I shouldn't be so mean..."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

"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."

"I'm sorry to interupt your inner-monologue but I meant the tower should wait until after we free the villagers." Lyrique says. "If your going to be this irritable I'll just make myself scarce." the bard says and wanders off to hang out with Ralynn and the others.

 

[Tokiwong]

Keith sees Rallyn's look, and looks confused for a moment, a rare look on his face, "Well, I think we have had a long two days, lets all just take a moment to relax, and kind of enjoy the fact that we have our health, lest we splinter, like an old tree, in the dead of winter."

Keith places a hand on Charlotte's shoulder and smiles to her, and then looks to Lyrique, "Good singing this morn, bard, it moved me, and despite myself, I would not mind hearing your gentle songs in a time of peace, and play."

Keith turned back to Charlotte, "We can't let despair or confusion consume us."

Keith
"We can't let despair or confusion consume us."

Charlotte looks up at Keith.

"I know... and I try... but... it's all just starting to get to me..."

"I'm sorry... I know I shouldn't be crying... I'm just holding us up..."

 

[Jeremy]

As Keith is paused with a look of confusion on his face, Rallyn pointedly looks at Charlotte's sobbing form and back, then back again trying to hint to him to be supportive.

Turning back to face Charlotte, he looks up at her and nods.

"It's just... I'm sorry... I shouldn't be so mean..."

He looks understanding and tries for an impish grin, "No you shoudn't. You'll give some of the newcomers the idea that you're likely to spit them on that half-orc steel of yours."

 

[Tokiwong]

Charlotte looks up at Keith.

"I know... and I try... but... it's all just starting to get to me..."

"I'm sorry... I know I shouldn't be crying... I'm just holding us up..."

Keith places an arm around her, and holds her close, "Its alright, Charlotte, your not holding anything up. This is hard for all of us, some more then others..."

 

[GnomeWorks]

Rallyn
"No you shoudn't. You'll give some of the newcomers the idea that you're likely to spit them on that half-orc steel of yours."

Charlotte laughs lightly, despite the tears still streaming down her face.

"You're right, Rallyn." She says softly. She then looks up at him. "Thanks..."

 

[GnomeWorks]

Keith
"Its alright, Charlotte, your not holding anything up. This is hard for all of us, some more then others..."

Charlotte nods silently.

"Thank you for understanding..." She says quietly.

 

[Calim]

Paendaerig will take this morning to take a closer look around the room examining every little nook and cranny of every little bit of this entire room including the spear.

 

[Tokiwong]

Charlotte nods silently.

"Thank you for understanding..." She says quietly.

Keith nods, looking arund at each of his companions, holding her close. He seems moved, but also thinking, the group was on the verge of splintering, he was not the most apt to fix it, but it seemed as if he was left with making the decisions...

"Lyrique, we will find the orcs, and the innocents, I want to spend some time investigating, no more then an hour or so, and then we move on, to find those lost. I promise ye..."
