Paths of Legend - Tragedy at Silvergard

[Yttermayn]

"No need to bow mate! Oh... Well Ah guess there's actually a need to do so" says the dwarf realizing his own stature. "Muzdum at yar' service" says the dwarf smiling as he shakes the centaur hand with vigour. "Sorry my face at first, fella, it's very unsusual to see one of yar' specie around. What are ya' doing in this filthy human town?" Muzdum asks, his smile wide as usual, and his eyes that always seems closed because of his cheeks, that rises when he smiles.

Aohdan is slightly startled by the unexpected contact, and he looked at his hand a moment as if something nasty may have been left on it. He hadn't realized the clasping of hands was part of the custom. He regained his composure and addressed the dwarf. "Just here to re-supply and buy some new shoes..." Aohdan replied cautiously. I take it you aren't exactly native here either.

The dwarf seems upset with the last coment of the centaur "This city is a real Curlbread! A fair fallhammer dwarf won't be living inside this rat hole." he says, imagining himself living in this city. Walking fast next to Aohdan, balancing his weight from right to left, the dwarf says "Ya' mention ya' needed some blacksmith ah? Well Ah'm pretty good at smith ya' know? We could take an eye on them if ya' like, Ah won't charge ya' more than one coin, what do ya' say?"

 

[Yttermayn]

Aohdan seemed oblivious to the percieved sleight, but was encouraged by the dwarfs offer. Aohdan picked up a forehoof and pointed at the layer of metal. See? They are worn thin, and the right rear one feels like its going to fall off any minute. Aohdan absently rubbed the side of his head where a scar lay partialy hidden. He thought he might feel another one of those headaches coming on.

Muzdum examines the pice of metal for a while. "Easiest than drinking ale mate! Ah can handle it, we will add some more metal to this and a layer of other harder metal by the outsied. Ya' ll be as good as new." assures the dwarf blinking an eye. "An' now we need to find out a place that is not filled up with people!"

 

[Yttermayn]

Aohdan looked puzzled. "That seems like a lot of extra effort just for shoes. Wouldn't it be easier to just replace the old ones?" he asked, suspicious now. 'Why does this guy want to get somewhere more sucluded? And where's he going to get access to a forge where there arent people around?' he wondered. I think maybe I'll just head into the city there and find a blacksmith or a tack and saddle shop." he backed away. Thank you, though. he added politely.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Muzdum looked at the centaur straged, he was trying to be kind, as he was told by his father, but this creature seems untrusting. He lift his shoulders. "As ya' wish fella, but ya'll be needing another pair soon enough. Ah mean, two pairs. Well, Ah'll head to the tavern, see ya' 'round" says the dwarf, and turn to the left, making place for his body between the crowd.

William is just starting to relax, enjoying the feeling of this woman pressed against him, when her question assaults him "What.. i.. No, of course not! Why would we need to steal from her?"

 

[ethandrew]

She playfully tugs down on his arm and laughs, "Oh you're so uptight Sir William, are you always like this in the morning? Doesn't everyone know the easiest way to get to know someone is to look through their personals?" Her laugh subsides a little when she realizes where they're headed. She snuggles in closer, using his tall frame to shield her from the sun even more. "Hmm, she's leadin' us right to the front gate, I wonder why. Maybe she's meetin' someone there. This'll be good!"

 

[Jemal]

"Indeed, it would be a shame if she were leaving. I've no intention of heading out of this city after it took so long to get in!" He pointedly ignores her continued reference to thievery, seeming mildly uncomfortable with it... he WAS supposed to be a virtuous knight, after all.. or at least, he hoped he would be.

Ya know, I think Estelle should be very helpful in helping to remove the stick from William's rear end and introduce him to sneakiness.

"If you're truly intent on following her and seeing what she's up to, we should make for those very scary shadows you're so afraid of," she playfully slugs him in the shoulder and drags him to a darker area once the woman reaches her destination. In the shadows she relaxes her clutch onto the young knight, "Now the trick here is not to be seen nor heard, but be in a position where you can do both to your target. It's likely she's spotted us already in her haste, but dismissed us as simply a young couple, Sir William and Lady Estelle." She giggles and smiles as she wistfully muses.

[sblock=ooc]A sneaky knight isn't something you see all too often. That idea reminds me of the movie Sin City when Marv is sneaking around rooftops. Just some big lumbering warrior tiptoeing around. It's quaint.[/sblock]
