Destiny's Tears: Zykovian's Sidetrack

[Keia]

Zykovian smiled and nodded, knowing that he could honor that request . . . at least for the few days that he was still planning on being here. Zykovian stayed for a few minutes making small talk and telling stories, enjoying his wine with Amity. One thing of note did come up from his perspective . . . "Amity, I'm likely losing my flat tomorrow sometime so I may need a place to stay until I either get it back or end up losing it for good. Do you still have a room available for me, with all this convocation hubbub?" Zykovian asked.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Of course, Zyk. I can always spare a room for a little while if you need one. Besides, the convocation is over after tomorrow, so there should be plenty of openings."

 

[Keia]

"My thanks, Amity," Zykovian replied. "I suppose it's a relief to know that I've got someplace to stay . . . just not enough to offset losing the flat. I guess that's what I get for being discriminating." Zykovian smiled wryly, and enjoyed the rest of his wine and Amity's pleasant company. "Is Eloquence in this evening, perchance?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I...don't think so. With the convocation influx, I'm afraid I don't know 100% of everyone in my inn at the moment, and Eloquence does not often come announced. I can usually tell it is Eloquence, though."

 

[Keia]

"No matter, I will try and find her," Zykovian offered. He certainly didn't want to trouble the innkeeper. After sufficient social time had passed (in which Zykovian enjoyed himself thoroughly), he stood and offered, "Thank you for the wonderful time together, Amity . . . and your assistance may prove invaluable. I believe that I am off to visit with Miss Lilypetals for a bit, though I may stop in the morning before the convocation to say hello and maybe drop off some things."

He turned and offered his arm, to escort the beautiful Amity back to the inn common area.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"You are most welcome, Zykovian. If there is anything I can do, just let me know."

*Amity takes his arm and walks back out, taking her usual place behind the bar and quickly filling the orders of a few waiting customers, the heavenly aroma of her cooking wafting over to Zykovian's nostrils as he heads to the common area.*

 

[Keia]

Zykovian nodded in appreciation and thanks, then looked over the inn trying to see if Eloquence was there. Zykovian breathed the air and turned to Amity smiling, knowing it was Amity's cooking that had turned his head. After meeting Amity's eyes and letting Amity know with a nod that he appreciated the fine work done there as well, Zykovian made his way over to the stairs to the rooms. (assuming he didn't spot Eloquence anywhere).

 

[Rystil Arden]

*He doesn't spot Eloquence in the front common room, but looking through the back common room, he manages to catch a glimpse of a pale-haired man in Eloquence's telltale dark-tinted glasses.*

 

[Keia]

Zykovian made his way through the back common room, heading in the general direction of the man with pale hair, a small smile on his face.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The pale-haired man adjusts his glasses, his eyes occluded behind them.*

"Well hello there, Ace."
