Egghunt in the Empire [closed]

[Cirtolthiel]

They reached the stables, being lead by Amerylis, and stood in the darkness. The pungent smell of horse manure filled the air. Cirtolthiel was just about to ask Amerylis what in the world they were doing here when she began to speak, catching Cirtolthiel offhanded.

"Listen, Cirtolthiel. I wanted to say sorry about how I acted earlier. I came off as a... well I wasn't the nicest person. <I'm sorry. I really am,>" she apologzied glumly. Cirtolthiel blinked. Oh, she was talking about the whole staff thing. It had taken her a moment to remember that. And that proves how much I need sleep, she thought, before taking a breath to speak to Amerylis.

"<It's okay. Apology accepted,>" she said firmly, then added a kind smile afterwards. She was quite shocked that Amerylis had decided to apologize for her behavior; to be honest, Cirtolthiel always thought she had too much pride to lower herself to that. Perhaps she's not as headstrong as I thought... An awkward silence followed Cirtolthiel's acception of the apology. She ran a hand through her hair, then remembered it was still brown. Quickly murmuring a few words, she returned it to its snowy-silver hue.

Cirtolthiel was startled when Arabelle suddenly burst out. "Other than to tie up your horse, why are we going to the stables? I mean it is something you can do on your own. You don't need us there with you right so, what do you need?" Arabelle inquired Amerylis. She even looked somewhat astonished at her own explosion of questions. Before Amerylis could answer, though, she added, "Not that I'm angry or anything. Its actually probably a good thing that I can talk to you both and stuff but..." Arabelle looked quite sheepish for even talking. Cirtolthiel gazed at her, amused. It was the sort of thing she would have done.

Looking back to Amerylis, she thought Arabelle had a good point. What were doing out here? Apologizing to Cirtolthiel couldn't have been the only thing, since Arabelle had been invited along. A horse nickered softly behind them, and Arabelle and Cirtolthiel waited for Amerylis' answer.

[Amerylis]

Amerylis turned on her heel, quickly. She looked to Arabelle dangerously. "Well. Maybe I didn't like how close you and my brother were getting." She spat. She turned back instantly with a smug smile and continued to the stables.

She rolled her eyes and gave in, sincing the curiousity of the others. "But since you were so polite. I was hoping that Gildor and Farid could sovle whatever issue they have. Issues you , Arabelle, wouldn't know about if you hadn't followed us. Stalking more likely." She said, pulling the stable doors open. She wasn't really trying to be rude, just stating the facts. She looked over her shoulder at Arabelle and raised a brow.

She payed the stable boys and gathered their bags off of Arsen. Amerylis gently tossed everyones bags to them then brushed between Cirtolthiel and Kaala silently.

"What?" Farid rolled his eye. Blind, deaf, and dumb I see. He thought, grinning to himself. He pulled his shirt over his head, struggling as it got stuck on his head. After he had gotten it off, he looked to Gildor.

"Don't make me say it agian please. You heard me well enought." He opened his bedroll and slid in, getting comfortable.

"Now get some sleep." He ordered, closing his eyes.

[Gildor]

"Don't make me say it again, please. You heard me well enough," was the only elaboration Gildor received for his question. He did receive an order, though. "Now get some sleep."

How rude... but still. An apology was an apology, and Gildor knew it probably put a dent in Farid's pride, (a small one). Just knowing that was enough to help him get to sleep. Well, that and being utterly exhausted.

After getting his second boot and both his socks off, Gildor unbuckled his decorative belt and pulled his tunic over his head. He tossed these over the the bedpost closest to his head as he lay down, rubbing his eyes through the blindfold.

...he was passed out cold before his head reached the pillow, before he even got a chance to pull back the blankets.

"Well. Maybe I didn't like how close you and my brother were getting." Arabelle was almost shocked, she had expected her to be perhaps a little angry, but about such a small slip up of words? Seh felt her head swimming first with embarrassment and then with anger. Arabelle hadn't asked for her brothers attentions, nor had she initiated thier conversations, as short as they were. So how did Amerylis get off talking back to her like that. "For an elf she sure seems somewhat uninformed..." she thought to herself. Instead of throwing back an angry retort she remained silent. She had already angered her, angering her would be foolish especially since Amerylis was an elf.

"ut since you were so polite. I was hoping that Gildor and Farid could sovle whatever issue they have. Issues you , Arabelle, wouldn't know about if you hadn't followed us. Stalking more likely." Arabelle was once again startled by her lack of kindness. Arabelle didn't get angry this time, she was starting to get the feeling that Amerylis was just a blunt person. She silently sighed and then continued to walk to the stables. She sure hoped that Gildor and Farid would work out thier issues considering the verbal beating she was taking.
