Without her eyesight, Rekka stayed in the
room. When Breakfast time came around, she and Jessica headed down to the dining
hall. Once Rekka is seated , Jessica heads off to do her things. Rekka sat there listening to the coming and
going of the people at the inn. Even though she is given water or orders it,
she does not drink it. She does go until just after noon around lunch time that
Ajara arrives back at the inn for lunch. Spotting Rekka sitting at one of the
tables she walks over saying, “You're in town still!? Well before you and Isaac
leave, you really need to go check out the blacksmith shop! Something really
amazing is there and you'll probably thank me later or hate me for wasting your
time."
Rekka recognized the voice as Ajara but since she couldn’t see and they had set up the passwords, she asked Ajara’s password pharses. “What's your thoughts on Simon? What about Peter? How's your sister?
Rekka recognized the voice as Ajara but since she couldn’t see and they had set up the passwords, she asked Ajara’s password pharses. “What's your thoughts on Simon? What about Peter? How's your sister?
Ajara
is taken aback, “ Simon? Peter...?” she repeats back to Rekka and the realizes,
“Oh. Hate the guy, hate him too, and dead.”
Answering correctly, Rekka
gestures to where she thinks there are chairs, and said, “Already been.
So what did he tell you?”
“Oh... then you know...” Ajara said,
a little disappioned, then confused, “well. That's weird. If he already saw
you, then why did he tell me to say Hello to you...Well, I'm glad you know
he's... alive a guess. They informed me more on the mark. It's still quite a
bit to take in. I have some questions I plan on asking tomorrow morning when I
go back for Raaein's barding.”
“Yeah
*something in halfing* doesn't it? the *halfing again* mark don't mean much.”
Rekka said, not harshly though.
Rekka reaches for a glass that is
sitting in front of her. She's having a little trouble finding it. Almost
knocking it over it she grabs it.
Ajara
watches Rekka do thing, and comes little more confused “Um, yeah... It was bad
enough to think Hei- er, Simon was playing favorites and just being unjust,
but... why would he have let us kill so many people, especially those who were
innocent? It's sick to think about. If it was known to the God's how mislead we
were, why didn't He intervine? Also, you okay? Your bandages look... dirty.”
“Do
they?” she asked, since they’re new, “I can't see them. Let alone anything
else. As to Simon or was it Peter? Anyway, it just might be that there was
nothing he could do about it. You know that those things you call gods, they
can't come down all willy-nilly and solve everyone's
problems. That's why they have chosen right? Besides they have rules, even if
they themselves made them, that they can't or won't break. Or at least that's
what Bard's stories always say don't they?”
Rekka said all this with a little sarcasm. She doesn’t have faith in any of the
deities, but she knows they’re around.
In a
more hushed voice since Ajara says "Certain rules they have to keep? Tsk.
Why would Simon come down to comfort me when
I k- ...when my sister died? Why did he break his rule for that other girl who
was marked like my sister? Either way. The Simon I thought I knew obviously
isn't who I thought he was. I guess if anything, I would like to hear what he
has to say. But like that'll happen. I can only hope in the morning the black
smith might be able to answer some more of my questions..." she trails off
then looks at Rekka with eye that would suggest that she is tired of all the
event that have been happening and yet with some pity toward Rekka.
"I
say that's what they bards say but that's just story. Maybe Simon is a
"Halfing words". If you want to see Simon again we could just go back
to mountains. You'll be able to find him in no time. You just walk right up to
him."
Ajara
shifts uncomfortable, this doesn’t escape Rekka’s notice although it might not
be Ajara.
Ajara eyes looking defeated or
worried mixed with pity toward Rekka, "Rekka, I'm sorry if I've made you
feel like a lost cause when you got marked. To be honest, I really was
beginning to think this mark wasn't what I thought it to be when I got my
answer today... I feel stupid for having been so judgmental,"
“Well I didn't feel doomed if
that's what you mean.” Rekka lied. She felt that Ajara was finally acting like
a human being, and was actually felt a little bit of pity for her, “I was more
worried about being easier to be found. Turns that was founded, though not the
way I thought it was. Father was able to point that out to me.”
Ajara takes
a moment before going on, "So, you can't see anything you say? Do you know
why that is?"
To Ajara’s question, Rekka motions her closer, lifting up the blind fold on the side that Ajara is sitting next to her on. The first thing Ajara could see is the burn marks around Rekka’s eye. Rekka then opens her eye and it's a whole lot of nothingness, like before.
"It's the same as always, a whole lot of nothing.” Rekka brought the blindfold down, “But won't worry, father helping me out. He's got a plan, at least that's what I hope."
"Father?
And you've been found?” Ajara said out of Amazement and not Confusion, “Like,
found by your Father? Or... is it the blacksmith?"
“I don't have a clue about...”
Rekka started and then thought better of it, “oh... Father said it was easier
to be scry with the last attempt to fix my eyes. Don't have a clue if anything
came of it.” She then added, “My father and the Blacksmith are two different
people, they have nothing to do with each other. Are you feeling alright? Maybe
this is too much for you?” Rekka was beginning to think
that all this double speaks was a bit too much. And that she was losing Ajara
in the process.
“I'm fine. Just a lot of
information to process today. Does this mean that scrying you will be more
difficult now? Must say, it's no fun feeling like people are keeping an eye on
you... not to be rude... or deities for that matter.”
“No idea.” Rekka said, wanting to
change the subject she went on, “So other than all this Enlightenment and newly
founded insight, what else have you been doing? Get that Chicken?
"haha, yes," Ajara gives
off a slight chuckle, surprising herself a little, "Um, she followed me
all the way back. I think she liked me. I only caught a glance of her. I could
have sworn that thing would turn me to stone from looking at it, but I guess
Burne was being truthful about her being tamed. He told me he'd be ready for my
business I might have tomorrow. So I still don't know what magic items he has,
but he'll be ready tomorrow from the sounds of it. You could come with me if
you'd like."
"I
might glance over his wears..." she lets out a little chuckled herself, although
short "Well at least get a feel for what he has. but that is tomorrow, and
things are always happening."
Ajara
smiles and decides to stay with Rekka while eating her meal, "Are you and
Isaac gonna be leaving for Sardik still then?"
“I
actually don't know. I haven't...” She stop herself from saying Seen, “heard
from him since this morning. He might have already left.”
“Okay.
I suppose if we hang down here long enough we'll eventually I'll see him or
you'll hear him if he's in town, otherwise he's out of town or in trouble. I
would bet on the first since that was what I assumed the plan would be for you
two."
Rekka and Ajara continued talking
but it was idle chit chat at this point. Both of them waited for Isaac with no
idea how long it would before he shows up.
