RP:The Return of Violet

• RP:THE RETURN OF VIOLET

• Kelay Tavern

Built and rebuilt, torn apart and set like stubborn bone, this tavern is the pinnacle of Hollow's entirety, wrought around the premise of peace, equality, and consummate amity. And of course, the old place had seen all of the three, but so much more. Dire markings of claw and steel cut deep into wall panels and floorboards. Set against the land's usual motif of destruction are signs of comfort. Twisting shadows and smoothing out a careful blanket of light with soft, quaint fires, a candelabra dangles down by thick cords, gripping the circular holder. Each twists up, converging upon the center, where they snake about one another and form a thick, secure anchor to Kelay Tavern's high, accommodating ceiling. The candelabra rattle now and again from the inn patrons overhead, pouring down globs of wax to the center of the room, which is wide and unobstructed. Cheaply carpentered tables and chairs grow outward around the bare dancing area, keeping to the rounded theme, and also keeping to a dwarven barkeep's avariciously born taste for 'economical' furniture. Hardly any expense has been wasted on the actual upkeep of the public center though, as can be garnered from the smell of deep pine, rich tobacco, and even richer spirits. Stairs twist away dimly near the high bar. And atop that side rests the inn logs, quill, and ink. This establishment's fine keeper, Mesthak, can be seen smiling out from his post at the bar, straight across to the room's always crackling stone-wrought hearth. Behind him, atop lofty shelves, sits an array of dark, amber, and clear liquids. Food smells waft from somewhere near at hand. A carefully printed and hung sign details the purchasable items here in the place of merriment, loss, laughter, and life. Also, tucked into a corner near one of two windows closest to the tavern doorway is a thickly papered bulletin board. A sign has been added next to the board that reads, 'The management requires patrons be fully inebriated at all times and that no curing spells be performed in this tavern-Thank you'.

Dawn said to you, "Hello"

Kain enters the tavern and nods to Dawn, then wanders over to check the public board.

Dawn looked at you.

Dawn waves then goes back to her book.

Flar appears from the south.

Flar comes bounding through the door, a look of curiousity and elation show upon the little dragons fuzzy face. He saunters over to the fireplace where he precedes to pour himself out a small bed of gold. He does three circles before finally stretching out and laying down upon it.

Kain nods then walks over to Dawn. "With Dr. Agoyoanye unable to help, I been thinkin' bout the situation. Might be able ta find ma way ta Raver's mum usin' a different route," he says, kind of trailing off at the end, as though unsure and not wanting to get her hopes up too much in case he failed in his self-appointed task.

Dawn watches the little dragon in amassments, while he pours himself a bed of gold and proceeds to sit on it.

Helich enters and such. It was no big thing really. In the guise of a drow, since his true draconic form wouldn't fit in the tavern. He sits, and looks about skeptically.

Dawn eyes flick to Kains face shaking her head "How do you plan to do that?" but a tiny ray of hope comes into her eyes. Pouring herself a another glass of apple wine.

Flar rolls over on his bed of gold to scratch his back. The little dragon purrs and giggles a little bit. He then rolls back over and begins the tedious process of cleaning his wings.

Agoyoanye heard her name being spoke by Kain. She lets her eyes roll over the man and lady before nodding kindly.

Helich turns to regard the other Dragon present.

Helich said to Flar, "You leave that gold about, someone is going to steal it."

Kain smiles at the sight of the little dragon. It was one dragon he felt was no threat to the land, and one he could perhaps be friends with.

Helich spoke with much disinterest.

Flar looks to Helich with sudden suprise" S-steal it? Why would someone go and steal someone elses bed?", the little dragon says confused.

Dawn just thinks Flar is adorable.

Kain raises his finger in the give me a moment sign, then motions to Agoyoanye to join them.

Helich said to Flar, "You're new here?"

Dawn raises an eyebrow.

Flar said to Helich, "Well, kind of. I mean, I've been told of this place and it sounded like so much fun I just had to see for myself. I've been here for a little while now bit no, not long. Why?"

Agoyoanye walks to join a seat with Kain and the lady.

Veriun enters the tavern without any noticable happenings or actions. Spotting those he know in a quick look around.

Helich said to Flar, "You know who Solaris is?"

Flar said to Helich, "A little. I saw him on the wall in the dragon embassy."

Kain turns to Agoyonye and quietly asks...

Helich said to Flar, "Understood."

Dawn sees Veriun waving to him to join the two.

Kain whispered to Agoyoanye, "Raver's mum is in a different realm, but same time, correct?"

Veriun chuckles and heads over in a casual pace and a slightly amused expresion. How was he it always managed to walk in on the siblings every time he entered the tavern around this time, hardly a nick of luck.

Flar sniffs Helich. "You smell... familiar?" he says with a puzzled look as he tilts his head.

Dawn goes goo-goo eyed as Veriun walks over to there table.

Helich said to Flar, "Do not rely on your eyes in these lands."

Helich smirks.

Agoyoanye whispered to you, "Not quite sure"

Flar begins to smile wide as the smell registers. "How do do that?" he says in a hushed tone, bewilderment in his glowing orange eyes.

Helich said to Flar, "It's easy. Just takes focus. And practice."

Kain nods to Agoyoanye. "Alright." He turns to Veriun and nods, an unspoken message visible on his face and eyes.

Veriun smiles and waves at her before taking a seat and looking at the trio with a raised eyebrow. "Well, hello there," he says in a obvious sort of voice.

Flar said to Helich, "Do you think you can show me how to do that someday?"

Helich said to Flar, "Maybe."

Veriun looks upon Kain with his studying gaze, making no further expression.

Evanderous appears from the south.

Flar looks like he is about to burst with excitement as he tries not to leap up and down. "Oh thank great sir! I can't wait," he says barely able to contain himself.

Dawn narrows her eyes slightly, at the look on Kain's face, smiling at Veriun as he sits down.

Veriun nods shortly with his myserious smile. "Yes. I can."

Kain grimaces, looking like he's focusing on something very difficult.

Flar said to Helich, "I don't know. I was never told."

Agoyoanye exits south.

Kain sighs in obvious relief. "Good. Think I done gave meself a headache." he utters, removing his helmet and rubbing his temples.

Veriun raises an eyebrow at Kains grimace pretending to lean backwards. "No need to yell."

Dawn said to you, "What's going on?"

Dawn folds her arms and raises an eyebrow. "Did I miss something?" looking from one man to the other wanting answers.

Veriun nods his head at Kain. He wasn't about to explain it.

Dawn heads whips to Kain, tapping her foot with a no nosiness expression on her face.

Flar yawns.

Kain chuckles, "Sorry. It's... new ta me. Wasn't sure if..." he trails off, the looks at Dawn. "Big brother's been ponderin' on the situation fer a while," he says crypticly, giving her a smile that clearly held a secret, yet his eyes seemed filled with happiness. Turning to Veriun, he asked, "Can we now, or do you need ta prepare somethin' first?"

Veriun ooc can't help but chuckle. seriously. dawn, i LOVE you're char and ur rping <3 she's so damn alive!

Veriun shakes his head, tought still looking at Dawn, but then turns his head to the reciptant. "No. Just a little information, which you've already given me subconciously."

Dawn confusion increases at Kain's words "I mean it, what if going on?" narrowing her eyes again.

Flar yawns and stretches as he raises from his golden bed. He scoops it up into a large sack, careful to get it all. He looks to Helich as he is leaving, "Thank you again!" he says as he bounds out the door.

Kain looks confused. "Sub con what? Ah... don't matter I suppose." He glances around the tavern then asks, "Should we go somewhere else, in case things..."

Kain said to Dawn, "Gonna try somethin' 'n if'in it works, we'll both be real happy."

Veriun nods, then turns and smiles at Dawn. "Do not worry. We can't tell you just yet, but you'll find out very soon. I'll leave with your brother for a few minutes, but we'll return soon," he says before standing upp and patting the woman's shoulder gently. "Just be patient."

Dawn said to you, " -raises eyebrow- care to tell me what? or am i just going to be lifet in the dark."

Kain pats Dawn on the shoulder. "Give yer big brother a chance. I don't want ta git yer hopes up, just ta see ya hurt if it don't work."

Dawn studies Veriun's face getting a bit annoyed now "Too late for that," looking up unimpressed. "I better," placing her hands on her hips.

Dawn just glares.

Veriun bows gracefully. "We will return shortly," and walks out at a rather high pace.

Kain stands, nodding to Veriun. "I'll wait fer ya there." Turning to Dawn, he adds, "Wish us luck." Then gives her a quick kiss on the forehead and heads out of the tavern.

-Safe House-

Veriun enters after Kain with a short comment. "Let's be swift. Stand still and keep calm."

Kain nods as Veriun joins him. "Okay. Ye open the portal 'n I'll go see about returnin' with Vi."

Veriun chuckles. "It's not exactly a portal. More like a rift which will drag you in. The point of return will be standing upon the exact same spot you appeared at for a couple of secounds," he says before walking forward and placing a hand on Kains forehead.

Veriun nods slowly, a calm aura gathering and then.. "Stride, Kain." with a large impact Kain feels as if hurled backwards throught a tunnel, then suddenly appears at the destination with the feeling of having been ripped through reality itself.

Kain didn't really care what it was, just as long as it took him to Lady Syrenia Lyastri, which it did. After taking a moment to reorient himself, he walked up and knocked, calling out for the Lady. After a few moments, she appeared and smiled at him. Kain smiled back, asking, "Do ye remember me? We'd like Violet back. Dawn be missin' 'er little one." The Lady smiled and nodded, then disappeared inside for a few minutes, before returning with the infant. "Thank ye much," Kain told her, taking Violet, who immediatly grabbed his beard. Without further delay, he returned through the rift, and nodded to Veriun.

Kain enters the tavern with a small bundle in his arms and walks straight towards Dawn, with a beaming smile on his face, and a tiny hand clutching his beard. "Think somebody missed us," he chuckles, handing Dawn her baby. You gave 1 daughter to Dawn.

Veriun follows Kain with a grin upon his face. although he seems a bit less vigorous then before. as if something took its toll on him. and the weak blue light around his neck is shining rather bright.

Flar appears from the south.

Dawn watches both Kain and Veriun enter the tavern with a bundle. Her Bewilderment turning to joy in a instant, "Violet!!" leaving her seat to rush over and pluck the babe from Kain's arms. To spin her around in her arms, tears in her eyes. "Hello my darling..I missed you so much," kissing the babe all over "Thank you! Kain, Veriun."

Flar bounds back into the tavern again with the same look of curious excitement. He saunters over to the fireplace where he precedes to pour out a small bed of gold and does three cirles on it befor he plops down on it.

Veriun just nods in direction of Kain. He himself had not contributed much, and paid his toll for it, still wearing a smile though.

Flar lazily gnaws on a whole hog as he looks up from his golden bed, watching the patrons with curious glowing orange eyes.

Kain grins as Violet coos, obviously happy to be back with her mother. "Does ye forgives me fer keepin' ye in the dark like I did? I didn't want ta tell ya in case I failed."

Dawn makes her away back to her table with Violet in her arms. Crooning to her and holding her close.

Dawn said to you, "I will in time - grins-

Flar begins to fall asleep face first into his bed, as Yuroichi curls up next to him.

Kain said to Dawn, "Would ya rather I told ya I might be able ta get 'er back? Even though I didn't know fer sure?"

Dawn :Violet peeps out at the dragon and giggles.

Flar starts to snore a low rumbling purr as his tail twitches at the tip causing the coins to slightly sing.

Dawn said to you, "Does it matter now?"

Dawn tries to keep her daughter on her lap, as she reaches out with her arms to the dragon "Honey he's sleeping," glancing at the dragon.

Kain chuckled. "No. Not really. I'm just glad it worked, 'n that the Lady remembered me. Coulda been bad if'in she didn't."

Dawn said to you, "Hmm."

Flar awakes after being asleep for mere minutes looking refreshed. He sits up and scratches an itch he has behind his ear with his hind leg, somewhat like a dog. he then goes back to watching the patrons.

Kain shrugged. "Still. It all worked out, 'n that be what's important. Ain't that right, Vi?" he chuckles, seeing Violet eyeing and reaching toward the minature dragon. "Oi. Think I'm gonna hafta get 'er a stuffed dragon doll ta play with," he laughs.

Flar sees the little child and smiles and laughs

Flar yawns and stretches as he raises from his golden bed. He scoops it up into a large sack carefull to collect it all. Then the fuzzy little dragon walks over near Kain. "She can touch me, it's ok." he says with a playful smile.

Kain nods, lifting Violet and setting her feet on the table, he holds her as she reaches out and grasps at the dragon. "Be nice Violet. No pulling."

Flar giggles as the small hands of the child slightly tickle his fuzzy head. "Teehee! That tickles!" he says as his furry hide ripples.

Kain chuckles at both the dragon's and Violet's reactions to each other as the tiny aivan petted, patted, and then tried to fall over onto the small creature. "Watch it Vi. I don't think yer quite old 'nough ta start thinkin' bout ridin' on dragons yet," Kain chuckled. "This here be Violet, daugher 'o me adopted sister Dawn. I be Kain Shannarra, explorer 'n student 'o the blade. What might we call you?"

Flar sits up proudly "I am called Flar! It is a pleasure to meet you mister Shannarra and you too Violet." he says as he turns to the little one.

Kain nods, starts to remove a hand to shake, then grabs Violet again. "It a pleasure to meet you Flar, though you'll understand if I don't ofer a hand ta shake at the moment.," he replies. Violet meanwhile, was busy trying to grab Flar with one hand and pull him closer, while holding on to Kain's beard with the other. Violet squeels in bubbly child joy as Flar turns to her, opening and closing her hand repeatedly, as if trying to wave hello in her own way.

Flar can't help be almost as amused with the child as it is with him. He laughs and moves close enough for the child to once again get a fist full of dragon hair.

Violet all but chirps in delight as she lets go of Kain's beard and uses both hands to feel and somewhat hug Flar, leaving a bit of drool on his neck. She seems content with life at the moment. Turning to Dawn, she giggles, then hugs Flar again, patting him with her tiny hands, and repeatedly grabbing one handful after another of his soft fur.

Flar continues to laugh and giggle as the fluff seemingly just comes right out. After a while he turns back to Kain. "That was fun! I would sure like to do it again someday. For now I feel like playing catch with a phienox. I'll be back often. Good bye for now Kain and Violet." he says as he bounds out the door.
