Destiny's Tears: Zykovian's Sidetrack

[Keia]

"Yeah . . . I suppose it was at that," Zykovian agreed. He blushed slightly in embarassment.

"I suppose it would be best if I followed through with my reasoning to maybe help you understand. I signed up a the convocation for a Spelljamming crew, and I'm leaving soon. I've ben trying to decide if I should try and renew the lease on my flat for a few month . . . expensive though it may be, and I won't be living there. I was wondering how you got along in the city and made ends meet . . . maybe you might understand the difficulties in getting a home here and the like," Zykovian explained quietly.

"Oh, that. I share a small apartment. It's quite a bit cheaper, but not as nice as owning my own larger flat."

 

[Keia]

"Oh . . . I see, is it tough to get an apartment in town?" Zykovian asked, truly interested. "What Ward are you in?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, it isn't impossible, but I couldn't get one in the Residential Ward, so I'm just on the edge of the Labourer's Ward. It isn't that bad, and it's really quite cheap."

 

[Keia]

"Hmmm . . . mine is rather expensive," Zykovian offered. "Perhaps it would be better to not lease an empty flat just on the off chance that I would be here . . . ."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, I can see how that might be wasteful. On the other hand, if it's a good flat in the Residential Ward and you have the cash, you might want to hold onto it if you expect to stick around. I'm sure the girls must be impressed by that kind of flat, eh?"

 

[Keia]

"See . . . that's the thing . . I don't know if I'll be around. I'd like to be," Zykovian replied. Zykovian smiled at the tease and offered. "As for the girls . . . I don't bring many girls to the flat, I'd rather then like me for who I am."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Ah, I see. Well, if you don't have anyone to share it with, why would you need a whole big flat? Well, I guess maybe comfort is a concern. In any case, I need to get back to work soon--is there anything else?"

 

[Keia]

Realizing that he was monopolizing her time, Zykovian quickly replied, "Oh . . I terribly sorry, Lena. I didn't mean to take up your time with my musings . . . Thank you for your assistance and I look forward to talking with you again soon."

OOC: She's perturbed with him?

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Think nothing of it, Zykovian. It's not that I dislike talking to you, but rather that I feel it my duty to complete my job while I'm on duty. If you wish to talk more later when I'm free, then I'll be better able to do so at length."

(OOC: Nope, she's just efficiency-conscious and feels bad about talking on the job )
