Destiny's Tears: Zykovian's Sidetrack

[Keia]

OOC: Yeah . . . I know. He's got some serious karma build up at this point

"Understanding or not, it's not going to happen," Zykovian replied, closing the distance to Lyveria. After a lengthy warm embrace, Zykovian added, "It was a very thoughtful of you to suggest it, well meaning it was. Thank you for offering, but I never intend to sell you . . . you're free to go whenever you want, because I consider you a person not a commodity. But, I enjoy your company, and look forward to continuing helping you be whatever you want."

OOC2: Well, he has Repair Minor right now, so she'll have to settle for a point at a time for a while, if necessary.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Yes Zyk...I know I am free to do what I want and that you consider me to be a person...In fact, that is the very reason why I freely offered that option to you if you wished to take it...Because you are one of the only people who has ever treated me that way...It may seem backwards and oppositely-logical to you, but if you had been someone else and tried to sell me, I would have resisted until I was deactivated."

 

[Keia]

"Actually, I understand that . . . I would be resisting as well, if that were to happen," Zykovian offered. "Well, I've got to see Melody to see if the ship is ready for us and when. If she doesn't need the money to get us into space, then I'll go speak with the landlords about putting a deposit down here for us to stay . . . if you wish it, that is."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I don't mind either way--I can live as easily in a closet or alleyway as on a soft bed. But I know that you have feelings for your home, so of course I want you to be able to keep it if you can, Zyk."

 

[Keia]

"I suppose, though you didn't indicate which you preferred," Zykovian countered. "If I need to, I can leave this flat . . . it's only a place, and I've been told that 'home is where you hang your hat'. It's not the only place I've called home . . . and it likely will not be the last. Not knowing just how long we may be gone, it might be worthwhile to let it go and find something new when we return . . . though I believe housing is an issue in the city."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Yes, I do know that housing is not easy to find here, at least not good housing in the Residential Ward. Too many have to put up with the awful squalour in the Labourer's Ward..."

 

[Keia]

"Yes, I had heard the same . . . perhaps we'll get lucky and be able to stay, Lyv," Zykovian offered.

OOC: I'm ready to head to the convocation. Don't know if I should continue here or elsewhere.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: What with Bront going on vacation, I've actually managed to get you ahead of everyone else We can probably get Melody easily enough, though, since Thanee likes to cut to the chase)

 

[Keia]

OOC: Well, I still had a class to sit through, and I can check on Molpe, and stop at the guard station for my bounties. Though any and all of that can be handled as quickly as you want to.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Ah, this is true. These would all be things that wouldn't involve meeting up with the others at the convocation or swapping threads, though the class does involve going there--so shall we proceed?)
