Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

[SBLOCK]“Well lets go for a stroll on the deck milady, while I gnaw this piece of rawhide,” Zaeryn chuckles, offering his arm.[/SBLOCK]

Zaeryn:

"Why certainly, milord," Valyssa replace, interlocking her arm with his.

Yotsu Yuriko, Martial Artist

Rystil:[SBLOCK]*As they entered the room, Yuriko didn't follow her normal pattern of taking off her sandals outside. When Rin changed, Yuriko looked slightly revulsed . . . but it was only momentary.*

"So, what gave me away?"

"Speech patterns, vocabulary . . . just didn't know enough about the target is all," Yuriko replied calmly, though her hand rested on her daisho. "Speaking of the target, where is she . . . really."

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
"Bah, that's always the hard part with picking someone they know," Yuriko's twin replies in a voice identical to Yuriko's own, "The real Rin is speaking with Senyuki right now--I picked up some of what I used from their conversation, though it apparently wasn't nearly enough to fool a trained monk."

*The Yuriko-twin grins.*

"You're good, though, I must admit. I can see why they wanted you for this mission--I must admit I was sceptical as to why they came out here all this way just for some martial artist, but I'm convinced."

[SBLOCK]*They move out onto the deck, arm in arm, as Zaeryn continues to chew at his jerky...taking a pass around the deck, looking over the side of the ship they eventually end up in the bow looking back over the length of the deck.*[/SBLOCK]

"I am pleased that I have been able to convince you," Yuriko said with sincerity, bowing slightly. She drew out the following phrase, "And you would be . . . ."

'Not tainted, not monk, not from around here,' Yuriko thought.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Hmm...the bow...what a romantic spot," Valyssa muses as she looks down over the ship beside Zaeryn.

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
"My name is Artifice," Yuriko's twin replies, "And I am here to help you get to the ship tonight. We've been waiting for you for a little while."

"My name is Artifice," Yuriko's twin replies, "And I am here to help you get to the ship tonight. We've been waiting for you for a little while."

"I apologize for the wait, Artifice," Yuriko answered the unspoken question, "My path crossed some bandits . . . and a kyuuketsuki and all that entails."

Yuriko paused for a moment, then added, " 'We'? "

[Rystil Arden]

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
"The other crew and myself," Artifice explains, "And the wait is little worry--hopefully, we will make up the difference in the phlogiston.
