RP:First Weapon

From HollowWiki


Kuiai stopped at the edge of thte gravel, afraid to step on it, in case it was something sacred. He walked along the edge of the gravel topped hill, just looking at it, his hood against his back and his boots thumping the ground heavily with each step. He grunted, then stopped and looked up at the forest with a grin, then took in a deep breath. "Ahhh. Such a beautiful forest. Father would just love this. Smells fresh and healthy."

Asailu was sitting on the hill with something in a long box across her lap. She was currently humming a soft tune that in itself was also erie. The sound of the minotaur caused her to look up and smile at Kuiai. "Sir, Kuiai!" she exclaimed waving at him.

Kuiai turned back from the forest, "Asailu. What is with this Sir business? That's for the knights. Not me. Just call me Kuiai. Anyways, how are you? What brings you out of the swamps of Gualon?" Now he turned his whole body around, his back to the forest and his attention on Asailu and the box. Why would she have a box in the middle of a clearing on top of a hill?

Asailu was finishing tying a bow around the end of the box as she spoke, "One does not need to be a knight to be a Sir. But I am fine, just enjoying the scenery out this way. I also collect herbs for potions out this way, but I have something for you." she smiled as she offered the box out to him.

Kuiai nods his head with a smile, then the smile turns into a look of surprise. He wasn't expecting anything, but he took the box anyways, shaking his head a little and smiling again. "A gift? I've never gotten one of these before. How strange the feeling is, and I have nothing to give in return." He kneeled down and set the box on the gravel, then slipping the bow off the of the box, the bow staying tied he started to open it. The look on his face was that of a child that looked as if he was getting a new toy.

Asailu could only smile as she watched the man open the gift she had got for him.He was a member of the band and she had.noticed his lack of a good weapon. It.hadn't cast her much but a few potions and to her it was worth it to see him open his first gift. "I hope you like it."

Kuiai lifted the blade out of the box and he looked it over, his eyes full of happiness and shock. Lets just say so many emotions were running through hsi mind and body he didn't know what to say. He was speechless. He stood up and felt the blades weight and was amazed at how light it was. "This is amazing. My first weapon. Thank you so much. I will have to learn to fight with it right away. I can return the gift by trying more than my best to learn what the war band can teach. I will protect the members with my life. No more feeling like a boy." He could have been crying at this point, happy that he had something to define him as a man, a bull, instead of a child.

Asailu offered him a polite smile before she shook her head slowly, "You do not have to repay me for the gift. Just promise to learn to wield it correctly. I am glad that you like it, I was not sure exactly what you liked. But I must be off now. I have a potion to finish." She flashed a warm smile before standing and heading off towards the swamps.

Kuiai bowed to the other with a smile and then went back to his gift with a smile. He would have to take care of it and he would.
