Weather Warning (Giannya)

[Aarias]

Aarias nods, letting a smile come to his lips, chuckling a little internally at Giannya's stare. "You're fine and thank you again - sleep well." It seems she is amazed by him? Curious? Oh hell, he doesn't know and he ponders the options lightly as he lies down in the cot with his armor still on. It's better to be safe than sorry. He reminds himself internally before closing his eyes, a hand on his sword hilt once he moves it to the side of his bed.

Soon sleep overcomes the tired soldier, his full belly happily gurgling every so often as he falls into a light sleep. Being in someone else's home makes him uneasy but the cool handle of the sword brings comfort to him. He dreams of the far away land of Zeltivia and goes off what the picture in his pocket looks like. The lakeside cottages, warm blue water with the shimmering sun. Wow! It seems all like a dream to him and being so far away, it's an unreachable one at that.

Nighttime blankets the tent and soon enough the morning comes around, Aarias still asleep in the cot. One leg is thrown over the edge, ready incase he hears a sound and has to jump up to defend himself. His breath spills from his mouth at a steady pace, a small murmur of a snore deep within his throat.

[Giannya]

Giannya wakes up in the morning and yawns gently, stretching in the bed. She peeks out of bed, getting ready, braiding her hair naturally like usual and go changed into a dress with a scarf.

She walks outside of her room in the tent and towards the fireplace, digging in the woods. She puts the woods in a fireplace she made with rocks and wooden. She lights it up, sitting down with a cup of water, watching the red and orange colored flames dance together pefectly in harmony.

She sighs, frowned and rubs her back, gently since it's hurting. In pain, she try to massage it a bit.

[Aarias]

By the time the sun had risen over the horizon, Aarias was already awake and ready to start moving. The sooner he got out there in the cold and snow, he knew the more likely it was that he could save Giannya's brother from the elements. It pains him to think that her brother might have not survived the night for the Sea of Grass is a very big place and it was one hell of a blizzard last night. He strapped his sword to his hip, quickly moving out the flap to the outside world. The crisp morning breeze slaps him in the face and he buries his chin in his chest, moving over to his strider.

"Well, I'm glad you made it through the night. I had no doubt you would." He quietly tells his companion before reaching into his own bag to grab some more food for his loyal steed. "I can always count on you." The Warrior beams, taking long moments to adjust the blankets and give him a loving pet. He places his face against the striders, feeling the connection bubble deep within him. Fable or not, he knows this strider will stay with him until death.

Moving back into the tent, his cheeks already red from exposure to the early morning sun and wind, Aarias smiles down at the kneeling figure before the fire. "You're up early." He chuckles, moving to sit down on one of the seats available. "Did you sleep well?" He asks next, the sharp blue gaze fixed upon her.

[Giannya]

Giannya slowly lifts her face, her gaze falling on him and smiles, warmly.
- Yes, I had a good sleep. My muscles are just aching a bit, she admits. What about you? she asks, moving in her seat to look at him.

Her face is soft and lighten up because of the fire infront. She bits her lower lips, allowing the warmth of the fire to take over her body a bit, her skin soft at touch and hot. She lowers her gaze, slowly to the floor, at her small feet.

Giannya lifts her cup to her mouth, pressing it gently agaisnt her pink heart-shaped lips and drinks some water. She listens to him, carefully, wondering how was his sleep, a bit curious. She hopes he had a good one.

[Aarias]

((I apologize for the wait - been busy with work))

"I am glad to hear it! To be honest, I was worried that you would be up all night tossing and turning because of the safety of your brother." His eyes and face frowns, shaking his head but giving her a reassuring nod. "I'll find him don't you worry." Upon hearing of her muscle aches he chews on a thought before offering, "If you'd like I can try and message the knot out? If you think that would help at all. Being a warrior means that I also have to know how the body works because a smart warrior needs to take care of him or her self before even thinking about battle. There is no point in running to fight when you're feeling like utter ..." He trails off, waving his hand in the air as to not curse.

"I slept well, thanks. No disturbances is always a good sign!" With a chuckle, he rolls his head around, feeling the delightful pops come every so often. "I should be going as soon as possible though - the wind has died down slightly and so has the snow but the sooner I get out there, the better chance I have of finding your brother." Next comes his inquiry, "Did he tell you where he might be? What direction he headed off in? Anything will help." He flashes a smile, itching the scruff on his jaw.

[Giannya]

((It's okay, no worries ))
Giannya watches him, quietly and shooks her head, sadly, her mind wandering about her brother suddenly. She had stopped thinking about him because she didn't want to be sad or mad but now that she had to go find him today, she was only hoping he was safe and alive.
- I am scared that I really don't know where he went, he told me he went outside to go hunting... maybe he found a shelter for the night, or another tent to sleep in, we know a few people, she said, with hope in her voice, her eyes shining. I only hope he is okay... she whispered, lowering her face, rubbing her back gently.

She peeks back up at the warrior infront of her and swallows, thinking.
- If you don't mind, it would be really sweet of you if you did so, she says, about the massage, appreciating the offer, her own hands not doing any good, nor harm.

[Aarias]

Knowing that the information given will not help Aarias find her brother, he pouts for a second, thinking quickly to himself. Looking to the fire, he brings forth his next question, "Do you have a picture of him? Or a good description that I can go off of?" As far as Aarias is concerned, he think that Giannya ought to stay home incase her brother returns. Glancing to the girl, he smiles once again, breaking the concentrated face looming over his own. "Well, never matter, I am sure that he is safe. Since living out in the Grass, I'm sure he will adapt and use his surroundings to his advantage."

"I don't mind at all. A warrior knows how to take care of himself and I'm sure that I can easily apply that knowledge to complete a simple back message. First tell me where the pain is." Standing aloof, the Warrior quietly walks over to where she is sitting and asks her to turn around. His fingers shake at first before he brings over a stool and sits himself down. "Just tell me how I'm doing and if anything hurts, I'll stop."

Cautious fingers grip her shoulder, using both a rolling motion with his fingertips near her collarbone and making slow half circles near her spine with his thumbs. Everything starts out gently, not wishing to hurt the woman. He soon knows where her knots are and works them out, loosening her muscles as he proceeds. "There, not too difficult." He chuckles after a long moment of concentration.

[Giannya]

Giannya thinks to herself, quietly and suddenly feels his hands on her back. She closes her eyes, tightly, hurting a bit at first but slowly relax and smiles.

Her breath becomes softer, feeling no more pain on her back, thanks to his help, she stays eyes closed, still and her head falls back.

She opens her eyes and looks around after a few minutes and smiles up at him.
- Thank you¸ that was amazing, now it's better.

[Aarias]

Smiling, Aarias feels her muscles underneath his fingers loosen up and soon he knows they ought to feel like rubber. Upon hearing the relieved breath escape from her mouth, he finishes up and then stands. Replacing the stool back where he found it, the Warrior looks to the fire and then to Giannya. Keeping the smile pasted to his lips, he moves over and starts to flatten out the tangled blanket he used last night.

Nodding, the Warrior looks over his shoulders, smoothing out the fur in circular motions across the bed. "You're welcome. I'm happy to lend a friendly hand when needed."

"I think it's safer if you stay here, miss. That way if your brother does arrive home, you'll be able to welcome him with open arms. I shall look for your brother and return back here, I'll mark the spot on my map, after the day. Hopefully he should return and if not, well, I will return to Endrykas and alert the Watch about your missing brother. Sound valid?"

[Giannya]

Giannya watches him with soft eyes and smiles.
- Thank you, she whispers, softly and looks at the bed blankets he was flattening.

She sighs, softly and stands, beside him.
- Sounds great, thank you for your help Aarias, she says, pronouncing his name with a small accent, the letters dancing on her tongue, softly.

She grabs a bottle of water and hands it to him with some food.
- Here, for your way, is there anything else you would need? Something to keep you safe and warm perhaps? she offers, tilting her head.

(Sorry for the long wait.. :S I had a lot of things to do these days)
