80th of Winter, 508 AV
Once again, the twins playing together in the Yasi section were getting on her nerves. Technically, they didn't do anything wrong, but Syveris hated them all the same. Together all the time, playing all the time, as if there was nothing in the world to worry about. It was truly infuriating.
Once again, she kept to herself, rolling the small wood eagle she always took to 'play' around her fingers, and placing it on one hand or another. Looking at the small piece, she smiled, a somewhat stiff smile, but a smile still. This little toy was the one she always took with her, all the time. The Yasi didn't care for any other one, mostly because she despised playing. It was a loss of time, time she could spend doing bendi on the Aeries, so that she could bond with an Wind Eagle and become an Endal. And then, she would shove it in the faces of all those annoying brats.
But that was still a dream, and so, she spend time being watched by annoying Chiets and 'playing' with the wood eagle. Truly, it was mostly just moving the eagle through her hands, sometimes not even paying attention to what she was doing, but it was the only toy she liked, and she wouldn't just let it hanging around, so others could take it from her.
As if on cue, two Inarta boys approached her, both of them with a smile on their faces. Syveris scowled, glaring with disgust at him. She knew the Yasi. Not that this meant she had bothered to learn his name. But she had learned his face, and was a face she hated, with all her strength. He came to her more than anyone else, only to bother her with stupid words and stupid demands. The other boy was smaller, but more muscular, and Syveris knew his face, too, but she cared for him even less than she cared for the taller. He usually kept to himself, but once someone was up to mischief, they could always call him, and he would go, submissive and stupid.
"Hey chick. What are you doing?" the tallest one asked, and Syveris could only scowl even more at him. What did he thought she was doing? What was worse, he had actually used the term 'chick' as an insult, as if he was way older or better than her. He was younger, and he was Yasi. Really, the boy was stupid beyond reason. "Playing with your little toy?"
"No, I'm playing with a Talon Sword." she answered, swinging the eagle at him, as if it was truly a sword. The smaller boy frowned, and Syveris was sure he was thinking she was crazy. "What do you want, clipped? I heard you had a little trouble with your falconry lessons. You can't keep the falcon on your arm because of your stink?" there. That was how you insulted someone. And it hit the spot, because the boy's face twisted with pure rage.
"You petching shyke! Who do you think you are? You sit there by yourself, playing with this stupid toy, as if you are better than any of us. At least I have the chance to be picked by some Avora. And you? What can you do? I heard the Chiets talking, and they said you were being too troublesome to that hunter take you as an apprentice, and that he had given up on you!" the boy's outburst was pathetic, throwing insults without caring for what they really meant. But Syveris couldn't deny it hit the spot, too. She had heard this talk too, and she had felt devastated. Not that she would admit it out loud.
"Don't waste your time, Vaaron." the smaller one interrupted, and smiled. His smile was twisted, and Syveris didn't like it at all. "She only acts like that because of her mother. She is a Dek, you know? Well, if she is still alive, that is. That rotten blood runs through her veins. She is no better than a Dek. No, she is the spawn of one. Right, dek licker? Where is you momma right now?"
Oh, how better the smaller boy was at insulting. Half-way through his words, Syveris had felt her blood raise, and her eyes tear up. She wouldn't put up with this. She wouldn't. Throwing herself at the boy, she managed to make him fall, probably because he was taken by surprise. Sitting on top of him, she began to throw punches at the boy's face, rage controlling her body.
