[8:00 PM] NethaEmerald: Nyrandisa has been waiting for the wee moments before the entire group would travel to their next destination. She didn't have time to do much, but she took the opprotunity to fill out something small in her recently-acquired journal. She covered the events with Seed and the wrapping of the honey candies. Even if it didn't seem to significant, it was big enough to outline in the journal. She had been sitting around the wagon, out of sight and mind from the convoy owners. She knew they were busy getting things ready, but she kept herself as out of the way as possible.
However, when she was done with that, she started to scrawl a small story in the journal. The story was the one she had told Seed parts of about the Jera who went around the world in 80 days. It wasn't anything complicated, but enough to jot down and get her to re-think how to tell it, in the future.
[8:11 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: After his earlier chat, Himaya had a hunch that he should check on the Convoy before they decide to roll out to their next destination. His initial plan was to chat with Zain and Savier, but he felt he might as well talk with the Convoy as well.
Once he was drawing close to their wagon, he noticed a peculiar sight. One of the recruits that he saw from before, but didn't get to talk to much. After judging that he had already had a brief conversation with the people of the newly-acquired convoy, he felt it was needed to introduce himself and get to know her a little bit better.
"Hiya, friend!" Himaya said while approaching her. He did so with his usual smile and gentle wag of the tail, of course.
"I think we're fixing to head out shortly. I was on my way to talk with Zain and that Savier guy about how short 'shortly' is, though. But I saw ya n' thought I'd say hi. So what'cha happenin' t' be doin'?"
[8:20 PM] NethaEmerald: When someone approached her silently, and only made a sound once they were practically over her, Nyrandisa jumped a little out of being spooked.
"Wah! Oh; hi there." She said, embarrassed. She decided to close the book she held in her hand for now, as it was still open to a page that had information and feelings that she didn't want others to know about right now.
After collecting herself a little more, she responded more with "I know we are; that's why i'm not far from it. As for what i've been doing? Nothing much; just writing stories." though that last part was a half-lie
[8:47 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: "Ah, sorry 'bout that. Should've called out t' ya sooner, I s'pose." Himaya said scratching his head while his ears hunkered down a little from embarrassment.
"I'm sure ya prolly know I'm Himaya, but I can't really remember your name all that clearly.... I know it at least rhymes with 'Cyan Diva'..." the Branded said with a thinking, concentrated face.
"But does that writing plan to have any audience of sorts?" he asked in the meantime while still trying to think of her exact name.
[8:57 PM] NethaEmerald: When her name was brought into question, she explained back with
"Eh, not quite. I mean, I wouldn't mind being known as the Cyan Diva, but my name is Nyrandisa." When she explained that, she stood up, the book nestled back into her robes. She was trying to ignore the book topic and hope that it would go away on it's own. She didn't really want anyone to know she was keeping a diary full of... many different things.
[9:02 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: "Haha, I knew it was something that sounded cool. Just think of it! Nyrandisa the Cyan Diva!" he said loud and proud, complete with his hand gesturing wide in a half-circle motion, like a rainbow of fame across the sky. "Has a nice ring t' it if ya ask me!" he said with a proud smile, his ears now perking up.
He was happy to be corrected, because it only made things better! And getting all excited about this made him forgoet about the book and its contents, at least for now anyway.
"Wish I had a cool, rhyme-y name!" he said with a smile.
[9:05 PM] NethaEmerald: When Himaya made a big scene of her name, she blushed a little out of embarrassment.
"Okay, not so loud, okay Himaya? I don't want everyone to call me that. As for a rhyme for you? Uh.... nothing comes to mind right now; sorry."
When she was done responding, she took a deep breath to help the flushed face go away. When it had gone away, she gave his name rhyme more thought, but wasn't able to come up with anything yet.
[9:24 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: "Heh, we'll it'd be no fun if I came up with my own name, now would it?" he said with a chuckle, lowering his volume a smidge. He was oblivious to how loud he was before, he just got excited.
"We'll just hafta let time to it's thing on our thoughts. Sometimes creativity doesn't just smash itself into yer brain, y'know? It just slowly does it. Like a.... like a.... damn can't think of anything." said Himaya a bit frustrated, but he shrugged it off. This was exactly what he was talking about
[9:46 PM] NethaEmerald: When Himaya tried to be all philisophical like, and failed, Nyra laughed a little bit.
"Exactly. No need to push ourselves. After all, creativity isn't always something we find. Most of the time, it comes to us through our surroundings."
That saying for her into a little bit of thought. Maybe having Seed and company explore more of the world would do good for morale and creative, fun juices amongst the entire group. As she did, she got an idea for a nickname for Himaya.
"Is that what you were trying to say, Himaya the Messiah?"(edited)
[9:57 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: Himaya nodded.
"Finally, someone who understands what I didn't say" he thought, glad to have not confused someone.
"Yeah, we all think different stuff in different places. It makes sense at least. It'd be dumb if thoughts didn't change when you change places. There wouldn't be a point to move at all, yknow? It's all about how ya look at stuff. Change is good, even when things... don't change." Himaya attempted to explain.
"Hmmmmmmmmmmm" said Himaya aloud upon the name, "yknow, I like it, even if I dunno what a messiah is. But it's not like I knew what color cyan was until I learned it." He started rather obviously. Didn't seem to be the best at explaining things today. Or any day, really. His grasp of casual language simple.(edited)
[10:10 PM] NethaEmerald: Nyra smiled when Himaya seemed to understand her. It was comforting to know people were on similar wavelengths to you. However, as he explained not knowing what messiah meant, she was shocked. Had he truly never heard of one? Because of that, she explained it to him.
"Messiah commonly means the savior or liberator of a group of people, usually in regards to religion. Hopefully you won't let that nickname down. Sadly, I might let your down. I don't exactly consider myself a 'cyan diva'."
[7:56 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: "Sounds like nothin' a new outfit wouldn't fix if ya ask me." Himaya remarked about her not being a cyan diva.
"But I'd like to think I can one day become a Messiah, yeah." he said with a nod, further believing what was coming out of his mouth. "I dunno how it'd be about Kyria herself, but saving and protecting people sounds nice f' me t' do." he said with a smile.
[7:59 PM] NethaEmerald: When an outfit was brought into the conversation. Nyrandisa got many bad thoughts about what that could possibly mean.
"Uh, i'd like to keep my current outfit, if you don't mind..." too afraid to delve deaper into that topic with her train of thought.
As Himaya talked about being a Messiah, she felt an urge to chime in.
"I wouldn't mind being one either. I'd like to think i'm working on the right path to become something like that with this investigation. I wouldn't want it for the fame or glory, however."
[9:44 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: "Ah there's nothin' wrong with yer outfit. Just saying a change would be more... relevant, yeah that's the word, I think. More relevant." Himaya said, after pausing in thought for the word he was trying to think of.
"Yeah, I wouldn't want it for the fame or glory neither, but I wouldn't object or nothin'! It'd just be a nice side-bonus, y'know? hahaha" Himaya asked with a confident smile and a matching laugh that followed.
[9:49 PM] NethaEmerald: "He seems to be rather bubbly. The most bubbly person i've met in this group thus far." Nyra thought to herself. Not that there was anything wrong with being buggly, but it was a little off-putting to her laid-back nature.
"Well, I won't actively seek out any costumes to satisfy your nickname, sorry to say. As for the Messiah thing? I have my own, personal reasons for wanting to attain a status like that, or any other kiond of good status."
[9:54 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: "Haha, I don't mind a lick," Himaya reassured her, "It was all just a mishearing of yer name anyway. It can just be a little joke, nothing has t' come from it if ya don't want it." he continued reassuring.
He didn't want her to have to feel guilty about it, but he like the name regardless, and was a bit disappointed about a seemingly absolute 0 chance for a costume change. Himaya wouldn't be against it himself, if he thought he didn't have to use money elsewhere, or if he could actually sew that is.
"Any reason 'sides the obvious?" Himaya questioned about her wanting to be seen in a good light.
[10:02 PM] NethaEmerald: "Let's just say that I want to prove to some people that I can make a good name for myself." Nyrandisa explained to the latter.
While she had told some people about the situations leading up to her being here, she wasn't ready to let anyone else know. She had confidence that the people she told could keep it a secret. But Himaya? Not a chance. His mouth seemed to run too much and too loosely for her to feel confident in telling him.
[10:07 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: "Fair 'nuf." Himaya said with a nod, "I'd say a lot of people could say 'bout th' same thing, if ya ask me, so no shame in that. " he admitted.
"I'd rather be known as some guy that could help others than some weirdo Branded, y'know? Heck, even if I could be known as a weirdo Branded that helped people, that'd be good 'nuf for me. Are you tryin' t' do it for anyone in specific, or just in general?"
[10:09 PM] NethaEmerald: She didn't like that he was asking so many questions about her stance on it. It was starting to worry her a little.
"Well, both. There is someone I want to show that whole thing that I can, but also to more people in general."
[10:17 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: "Okie dokie, then. Y'know, sometimes ya can just come out n' say if you don't wanna talk about somethin'. Wouldn't hurt me none. " Himaya finally said, after catching her drift -- even if it took him multiple hints from Nyrandisa.
"'Gardless," he continues, "I hope everything goes well for ya. And if ya decide that ya do need help any with it, I'm sure I'll be just a holler away."
[10:19 PM] NethaEmerald: "The problem is I don't think you could keep the secrets." Nyra thoughtly coldly to herself.
"Okay; i'll keep it in mind." She responded with as something fell to the dirt below with a soft 'thud'. It was her diary. It even had a small scrawling on the top left corner of the front cover stating "Diary".
[10:23 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: "Whoops! Ya dropped somethin'!" he exclaimed as he bent down and picked it up for her.
"Wouldn't want this in the wrong hands, wouldn't we?" Himaya said with an innocent smile.
"I know I wouldn't want mine t' be," he admitted himself as he handed the book to her. He wouldn't dare pry or any of the like. He would know more than anyone that people should tell others about themselves whenever they are ready. He was thankful it didn't fall open, for the secret to be accidentally read or the like. He'd hate for the same thing that happened to him earlier to befall upon a friend.
[10:25 PM] NethaEmerald: When Himaya found what was dropped, Nyrandisa quickly took it with a slight blush.
"It would be very bad if the wrong hands got a hold of this. It contains things I don't want the world to see." She admitted about it. Regardless, she stuffed it back into her robes and made sure to keep a hand on it.
"Also, thank you for not trying to look into it..."
[10:29 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: "I know all too much about secrets bein' exposed. Even if it turned out well enough, I wouldn't wish it upon anyone, not even my worst enemy. People deserve the right to be in control of what others know about 'em, y'know? So no worries about it, really." Himaya said with his trademark smile and tail wag.
"Keepin' it in a sachel tied to your side might help it from fallin'," Himaya said, patting his own satchel at his hip.
[10:31 PM] NethaEmerald: "Well, my robes have pockets on the inside. It's how I can hold a lot and not look like I do. It must have just slipped from the pocket." She eximapled back to Himaya. "But perhaps I should think about a satchel. Could allow me to carry even more than I can now."
After a few moments, the silence was killing her. Mostly due to how much he was willing to say.
"But hmm... maybe if we find an outfit for the 'diva' persona, I could experiment with wearing it..."
[10:36 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: "Heh, I'd love to see it." Himaya replied simply.
"And I'd direct you to where I got my satchel, but I'm it was a gift from the village long ago... Good luck tryin' to find one, heck if I know how to make one for ya." He said a bit embarrassed
[10:37 PM] NethaEmerald: Nyra laughed a little. "I'm sure we'll find some city or town with someone who could make one for the right price. I'm not too concerned. But what we need more of is bags..."
[10:42 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: "I'm sure you're not wrong, but quality may be an issue also. My own satchel here has lasted me years! At least about 25 or 30 or so, maybe just a tad more..." he said trying to think of a more precise time period.
[10:47 PM] NethaEmerald: "Well, if it would go bad on me, i'm sur spot repairs could be done on it. I'm also not rough with my possessions. After all, i've had these robes for many, many years, and they are still in good condition. Though perhaps I should get some more soon..."
[10:48 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: "You could always try to fool with your magic spells, right? If it's anything like heron songs, I'm sure there's a song for it. Err... a spell."
[10:52 PM] NethaEmerald: She was confused by what he meant.
"Fool with my magic? What do you mean? Dark magic isn't to be triffled with. I also don't know in what sense you seem to imply..."
[10:55 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: "Well I'm not sure how butterfly Laguz magic works... but I've seen it on the battlefield, so I know it does something!" he exclaimed.
"Matter o' fact, I never knew butterfly Laguz could do magic like that. But you and that other Laguz on the horse sure proved me wrong! You're great at what you do! I'm sure you could figure out something!"(edited)
[10:58 PM] NethaEmerald: "..." Did he really not know what a Jera was? He was the second person in this army! How could people be so uncultured!? She just sighed when he said that.
"Excuse us, but we are not butterfly laguz. We are Jera. Why can't people ever get it right? Our magic works different to anything a Laguz could ever hope to achieve. And I doubt it would be useful for sewing clothes or satchels together."(edited)
[11:10 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: Her explanation flipped a switch in Himaya. He was no longer his cheery self.
"Oh, m-my apologies..." Himaya stuttered out. He hadn't meant to strike a nerve.
"I-I didn't mean to offend, p-promise...." he managed to spit out, feeling quite guilty and embarrassed about the whole ordeal. He wasn't ever exposed to any races other than Beorc or Laguz back in his rather remote village, and no one ever explained to him the other races, as they hadn't ever visited, so why bother? Most of the people there hadn't planned to want to leave to meet them either, so this only fed the cycle of ignorance. This led Himaya, like others in Ramalia, to believe only Beorc and Laguz were the only races.
"I'll just go before I..." Himaya said as he contemplated what to say next. He didn't want to hurt her, and make it a bigger deal than it needed to be. He took a deep breath.
"...sorry" was the last thing he managed to say before walking away from her. He had an uneasy face full of guilt and he just didn't want to make her feel worse than he already did. This was the best he could think of to do(edited)
[11:21 PM] NethaEmerald: When he started to flee in panic because of her, it stung. A lot. Here she was, trying to make a good name for herself and not fall into the traps of the dark magic that had consumed her only years ago. And what does she go and do? Get a little snappy and cause someone to flee from her. She felt she had been making good progress too, but now she had her doubts. What if everyone else in the army felt the same as Himaya, but weren't as vocal and open about it? She bit her lip in small frustration and pain.
As he walked away, she opened her mouth to say something. She meant for it to be loud, but a soft voice said
"No wait- I didn't mean..."
[2:28 PM] Best (Nerd) Birb | Sky: He hadn't heard what she had quietly said, but had he did, he wouldn't want to trouble her anymore and would've continued walking away anyway. Looking forward, he hoped he didn't upset too often. He hated not being the best at responding so negativity like this but...
He felt it was best this way for now...
