"Aw, heck...." she muttered to herself as her sword left her hand.
Reckon I need some gloves or somethin'.
After getting frustrated by her lack of ability to wield the wooden sword correctly, Kiera sits down on a nearby log and just holds her forehead.
What I'd do just to see Casey again, she thinks, while looking at her locket. I miss you, she continues thinking whilst kissing the outset of it.
[5:36 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: Miranda set out away from the shop with some new books, perhaps reading them away from the buzz of the city would allow her to get a better grasp of what she was trying to comprehend.
She saw another of her group, staring down at her hand. Never wanting to leave anyone out, she waved excitedly to Kiera and yelled out to her.
"Kiera! Whats up?"
She saw another of her group, staring down at her hand. Never wanting to leave anyone out, she waved excitedly to Kiera and yelled out to her.
"Kiera! Whats up?"
[5:58 PM] TastyChicken12: Kiera's eyes widen as she closes her locket quickly. The young mother placed the locket back onto her chest and locked over.
"Oh hi, Mir... Mair.... Miranda!"
[6:06 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "Trying to get some practice in?" She notes the discarded wooden sword lying next to the Beorc. "I was just thinking about 'hitting the books' as the librarians were telling me." She motions down at her magic tomes in her hands.(edited)
[6:19 PM] TastyChicken12: "Magic... eh, yeah. I'm about to become a Hero, and what good Hero doesn't know how to use swords? I reckon some jerkfaced adventurer out there is a Hero usin' spears instead," she joked while laughing.
[12:07 AM] Proper Bork | Ris: Miranda giggled along side Kiera, then drooped her ears and looked down at the ground. "As much as I try though, the magic just isn't getting in my head." She points repeatedly at her own head, then gives a shrug in the air. "It's like I can understand the words, but the ideas just dont want to play nice! I'm sure you're doing much better at being a Hero."
[12:37 AM] TastyChicken12: "I try. Usin' a sword is hard. I reckon using magic is harder than just swingin' around metal thin's with handles," she admits.
[7:01 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "That might be true, but there's more to fighting than just swinging around weapons and hoping it does something." She paused and looked thoughtfully at the woman.
"But I suppose I wouldn't know a lot about that, seeing as I mostly duck into fights and throw knifs at people."
"But I suppose I wouldn't know a lot about that, seeing as I mostly duck into fights and throw knifs at people."
[7:03 PM] TastyChicken12: "Knives and magic both? Reckon that I'm pretty impressed, Miranda! Wh-where didja learn all this from?"
[7:07 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "Well, I haven't learned the magic yet, although it seems gnawing on this staff has made my teefies somewhat magical. As for the knifs, it doesn't take much to throw it and hit enemies, or I guess I'm a natural?" She pondered this line of thinking, as was wondering how she was doing it herself...
[7:08 PM] TastyChicken12: "Ain't they called 'knives'," she questions.
[7:10 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "Yeah Knifs!" Miranda exclaims loudly. "Did I say something silly?"
[7:11 PM] TastyChicken12: "I always thought they's called 'knives' and not 'knifs', s'all."
[7:13 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: As she hears the two words closer together, she blushes a bit and looks down at the ground. "Oh... I always just thought I was saying it right."
[7:14 PM] TastyChicken12: "Well, I ain't exactly a word wiz. or nothin'. I just reckon I'm sure that that's the right way to say it," she says while scratching the back of her head.
[7:17 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "It's no wonder some of the stuff in these books doesn't make sense, I probably just have no idea what it's trying to say." She looks up at Kiera. "Maybe you can teach me more things, and I'll be less confused!"
[7:21 PM] TastyChicken12: "Oh? Me? Teachin'?"
I did teach Casey some on how to talk...
[7:24 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "Well, just things can get jumbled in this little brain here, I'm sure you're a lot better at it than me!" She beams excitedly and wags her tail ferociously
[11:53 PM] TastyChicken12: Miranda reminded Kiera of Himaya, so she rubs her eyes.
"I guess I could teach ya things I know. Ain't it like... never mind. What's on yer mind?"
[12:05 AM] Proper Bork | Ris: "Hmmm..." The dog Laguz pondered this for a little while before responding back to the question.
"I guess there isn't anything in particular that I need taught...I just get jumbled up sometimes and it's really frustrating!" She stomped her foot once as she said this and then shook her head.
[12:07 AM] TastyChicken12: "We can all learn new stuff! It's a part of the reason I'm here, of course," she said with a big smile.(edited)
[12:10 AM] Proper Bork | Ris: "Oooh, you didn't get far from home before this then?" Miranda asked wide eyed.
[12:15 AM] TastyChicken12: "I reckon I never even visited another town. Didn't get the chance, since I just became an adult," she clarifies.
[1:11 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "I suppose you do look pretty young, with Laguz life being so much longer I just expect people have been around at least their local communities." She spoke directly.
[1:40 PM] TastyChicken12: "I'm only eighteen," she explains. "That's barely an adult for us Beorc folks."
[7:12 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "Well, you seem to handle weaponry as that of a seasoned veteran, or at least the axes you carry around most times!" Miranda smiled as she complimented Kiera.
[7:16 PM] TastyChicken12: "Really? Ya think so? I guess so, since, I usually am able to best the other axe fighters I find. It's those heckin' mages that always drive me up the wa-"
She paused when she remembered that Miranda is a magic user.
"Er, you're fine. I just don't like fightin' with people like yourself."
[9:56 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "At this point, I'm not really a magic user, I just saw a lot of books and decided to take the opportunity."
She looks away and scratches her ears, then continues.
"I don't really know what my inspiration is, but I guess I want to seem smarter around everybody else? Seems like everyday I get a little farther behind."
[10:01 PM] TastyChicken12: "Aww, keep at it. I'm sure with enough work, you'll be in good shape. As for me, well, I just want to feel like I can function somewhat as an adult. But I still want to feel like a kid, y'know? Well, my childhood was kind of cut off. In a way," she said. "It's 'cause of this thing and the drought back home," Kiera makes clear.
[5:28 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: Miranda's ears drooped at hearing this. "That sounds awful, I'm sorry that you had to live through such misfortune." She gave Kiera a slight pat on the back. "But we're like a family here, right? So many people to talk to and engage with!"
[11:20 PM] TastyChicken12: "Yeah! Totally, we're like a family. Say, uh..."
If we're like a family, then I guess I could mention it. I reckon Miranda will understand.
"Can I tell ya somethin'? I've been meanin' to share it, and uh, I figure I'm confident enough to tell the rest of the Pack."
[11:23 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "I'm all ears, it's what sticks out the most on me anyways!" Miranda's ears perk up and await whatever thing Kiera is about to tell her.
[11:26 PM] TastyChicken12: "I dunno how Zain'll like it... but, ah, here it goes... so, I told Seed, Suleiman, and Himaya, but I ain't yet told anyone else. And I gotta ask ya not to mention this to anyone else, I wanna tell 'em myself. But... okay, I'm a mother. I have a one-and-a-half year old that I had when I was sixteen," she says rapidly and then breathes out after saying it all.
[11:27 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "Oh wow, no wonder you had to grow up so fast. That seems like an awful lot of burden to be put on someone so young." Miranda's face looks concerned, but still curious about her teammate.
[11:30 PM] TastyChicken12: "So understandin'..." Kiera mutters.
"... yeah. It ain't easy. It feels like my childhood was cut short, since, I had to realize that I was a parent at fifteen, basically, if you count my son's time in me. His name's Casey, by the way," she says rubbing the tip of her feet in the soil.
[11:46 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: Miranda put a finger to her chin and pondered a bit. "So why leave Casey behind and pursue all this then? It seems like being at home for him would be good. It doesn't seem like an easy thing to do to leave him behind, but there has to be a reason." She tilted her head, confused.
[11:48 PM] TastyChicken12: "..."
[11:53 PM] TastyChicken12: Kiera became silent on this matter. She knew that she had to answer carefully, a task made all the harder by her weak language skills. But something had to be said.
"'Cause there ain't no money left back home. The drought's left all the crops to wither, and the trees don't grow. Not enough water for people to work in the hot drylands. So people don't do nothin' but sit at home an' share what little food and water was left. You saw people, like, diggin' holes everywhere to hope they'd stumble on some puddle underground. People would also wander aimlessly for miles just to find a runnin' stream. We don't wanna dry out the nearby river. Hopefully, we sent our elders to talk to the queen. We hope she'll send us some help from the other parts of the country. Water and food would be nice, but I need money for my son to survive. My parents can't do nothin'. My dad can't harvest dried up stalks of grain, y'know? It's awful bad."
[3:37 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: Miranda's ears drooped upon hearing about the dismal conditions back in Kiera's home.
"Sorry I didn't know. It must be a sensitive subject for you." Miranda looked away as she said this, she wasn't sure if it was ok, maybe she had asked too much.
"Sorry I didn't know. It must be a sensitive subject for you." Miranda looked away as she said this, she wasn't sure if it was ok, maybe she had asked too much.
[8:18 PM] TastyChicken12: "I dunno if I'd call it 'sensitive', but... I'm here kinda out of necessity, y'know? I figure lately that people oughtta know about why I'm here, as all. It ain't right to hide that from someone I fight with."
[4:07 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "I don't expect everyone to pour their hearts out to every single person, even if it is someone they fight with. I am happy you feel you can trust those around you though!" Miranda perked up a little more, feeling that the army as a whole really was able to open up more and more.
[9:44 PM] TastyChicken12: Kiera smiles.
"Thankd a bunch," she says.
[8:45 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "I just want us all to be friends." Miranda thinks a minute on this. "Knowing other people is a part of having trust, but also knowing what people don't want to talk about, ya know?" She had slightly confused herself, but that was okay.
[8:48 PM] TastyChicken12: "I understand that a lot. Thanks for your own understandin'. It was awful hard back when I's back home, and other teenagers would either ignore me, thinkin' I'm weird, or they'd wonder why I didn't want to goof off as much as they did. I mean, I'm a pretty silly person, I reckon, but I've a kid to look after! I ain't got time for that stuff. And it hurt because ain't no-one my age understands what it's like to be in my shoes, y'know? So you guys offerin' an open heart and ear makes me awful grateful," she says, emotions going up and down.
[8:50 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "Sometimes people gotta do what people do!" Miranda's tail wags ecstatically, continuing on. "The best thing to know is you can still be you, even when we are working towards a common goal!"
[8:53 PM] TastyChicken12: He's even more cheery than I'm.
"Awww... thanks. Say, do ya think I'm bein' a good mom by workin' here?"
[8:58 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "I mean, you told me why you came here, and although a kid growing up without momma could be hard, it could be the best thing is an already bad situation." She tilted her head, as if she was trying to make more thoughts pour into her head like magic. "Honestly I'm probably the wrong person to ask, as my life was pretty easy in comparison to what you've had to deal with." She sighs and lightly kicks the dirt at her feet.
[9:05 PM] TastyChicken12: "Aw, it's alright, heh. I'll come runnin' back home as soon as we're done here!"
[5:11 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "I'm sure he'll be waiting with open arms when you do get back!"
[8:44 PM] TastyChicken12: "Yeah, yeah, Im gonna give him the best hug EVER when I get back."
[8:57 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: She smiles stupidly and wags her tail ferociously. "If you're thinking about home this much, it means you probably got your heart in the right place. Plus it's nice to remember how it was before all this traveling!"
[9:25 PM] TastyChicken12: "Sure-ee! I reckon... I oughtta get back to sword trainin'. Thanks for the chat."
[9:45 PM] Proper Bork | Ris: "I suppose I should learn how this book works, I'm sure it'll come to me in a little more time. Have fun swinging your sword!" Miranda waves and walks away, attempting to make even heads or tails of what she has gotten herself into.
[10:06 PM] TastyChicken12: === End RP ===
