Sinoa 30th day of Winter, 513 AV (morning) Sinoa awoke from his bed in his dorm room feeling a bit stiff and arid, the layers of blankets covering his tiny bed didn't offer enough concealment form the frigid cold of the night. The Pycon eased out of bed and put on this lavender coloured dress and black felt robe to warm himself up. Unfortunately these articles of clothing did little for his horns and many finger tips as they still felt brittle and frozen. Sinoa had been having a clay tea every morning during the winter that helped rejuvenate him for the day ahead, until the Pycon had this tea he wasn't the same. The joyful hops that Sinoa usually did as he went down the stairs were absent, the Pycon instead cautiously eased himself down each step for irrational fear of shattering. He lumbered down the University hallways, talking little notice of the many tall folk that nearly trampled him. When Sinoa entered the cafeteria one of the cooks noticed the Pycon right away and knew what he needed "We'll get you your tea little one, you just sit tight" The cook said with a pleasant smile as they went to retrieve the beverage. "Thank... you.." Sinoa replied weakly with an oddly crackling to his voice. Sinoa clumsily climbed onto one of the tall chairs present and then went limp like the doll that Sinoa was so often mistaken for. The Pycon waited for his salvation to arrive, he had done so many times but he always felt as though he would turn to dust before it arrived. The cook finally came with a generously sized mug and set it on the chair next to Sinoa. "Okay, drink up little fellar" Said the Cook Sinoa wasted little time and placed one of his four thick lower arm like legs into the cup. The warm liquid was absorbed into this appendage and breathed life into the rest of Sinoa's body. While Sinoa's face hadn't changed at all, the Pycon felt great relief. In a matter of moments all the water had been drained from cup into Sinoa, and subtle bits of steam could be seen emanating off the pycon. Sinoa looked up at the cook and generously thanked them before leaping off the chair and scurrying off to greet the day with the new found energy he had acquired. Sinoa decided to head to the World Ends Grotto to see if there was any new performers that he could learn from. Sinoa waited by a door for a tall folk to open it, and when they did Sinoa rushed out into the freezing outdoors. The Chilling wind hit him and despite the tea he ingested, Sinoa felt very cold. To combat the cold Sinoa made sure to keep moving through dance. Sinoa pranced, leaped and twirled through the streets towards his destination. The lace frills on his dress beautifully swayed as Pycon clumsily flailed in public in a desperate attempt to keep his limbs warm. Sinoa arrived at Worlds End and upon entering saw that it wasn't buzzing with people as it usually was. A little disappointed but not without hope, Sinoa decided he would take his act outside to attract more customers. Sinoa found an empty upright barrel sitting right outside the front of entrance, this would be his stage. Sinoa climbed on top and continued his energetic but sporadic dance. |
