Built into the cliffs overlooking the Suvan Sea, Riverfall resides on the edge of grasslands of Cyphrus where the Bluevein River plunges off the plain and cascades down to the inland sea below. Home of the Akalak, Riverfall is a self-supporting city populated by devoted warriors. [Riverfall Codex]

Akalak pride themselves on control, at least those not deemed Cerulean anyway, and Tuvas had lived far longer then Favchean or Lyn'nice had, and would continue living for quite some time barring accident, battle or misdeed. His longevity was in part due to not allowing words to rile him, compounded by the fact that he had a distaste for anything that was unruly he inclined his head. " Indeed it is true, you will be tracked and brought back if you try to run. It would not be pleasant for you, nor is it a pleasant idea for Favchean here. Which is why I didn't mention because I am aware you know this."

Favchean remained quiet during the two's exchange, his spine stiffening a little at Lyn'nice's words. It was not a part of the Nakivak system that he was comfortable with though he knew it was a necessity as some women would accept council money, and then run to rid herself of the dangers of bearing an Akalak child. If he had thought that Lyn'nice was one of these women he would not have made his intentions on taking up her contract.

He glanced at her file, confirming much of what she said. No prior children, of course many Akalak prefer to have nakivaks who have proven themselves in the birthing room but that didn't bother Favchean that Lyn'nice hadn't. He closed the file and finished up any paperwork that Tuvas required. Once that was finished Tuvas stood and ushered them briskly out of the room, Favchean escorting Lyn'nice much the same way he had escorted her in.

Up the stairs again, this time onto a rooftop. "Sit there Lyn'nice. Your Talvis will come and help craft the Gold Undana, and when he is finished we will fix it upon you." Tuvas replied with a cordiality that belied his emotions. Even remaining cordial there was an air of command in his voice, he was the Oathmaster and he would be obeyed. Favchean sent the Konti a look with a raised brow but said nothing.

The two Akalak went to the forge and for a Bell and a half there was work done. It was a mysterious process that Tuvas guarded the secret of well thoug Favchean recognized some of the components were the same as when he forged his Lakan. After it was finally finished they beckoned Lyn'nice toward them.

Favchean held the delicately wrought gold Undanas in his hand, instead of being just plain gold however there was a design that Favchean placed on their himself. On the edge work was a thin ivy-like vine that decorated both edges, and through the middle was floral patterns that ringed around the Undana.

Once Favchean was sure that Lyn'nice had seen the designs properly, with Tuvas' help, the silver Undanas was removed, and the gold one was fixed into place. For Favchean it was an odd moment, he had grown accustomed to the .. niggling knowledge of his Lakan in the back of his mind. His Lakan never left his side, even sleeping it was lain on the table beside his simple bed. Yet he was still very aware of its presence always. Now there was a second niggle, that was almost like an unscratchable itch that he was going to have to learn to be aware of much like his Lakan.


ooc noteI was purposefully very vague about the forging of the Undanas as I am not 100% certain on how it is done so felt better to leave it to the imagination. Feel free to take Lyn'nice and Favchean out of the tower

Lyn'nice clung to Favchean's arm, she hoped he could sense her dislike of the Othmaster. As much as she convinced herself that he didn't intimidate or scare her, he did. But she would never let him know that. Favchean made her feel safe so she held onto him like her life depended on it. She hoped he'd understand.

Reaching the roof Lyn'nice let out a sigh, the wind was nice up here. She continued to follow Favchean until the Oathmaster made it clear she was not to follow and sit. Reluctantly she sat looking to Favchean.

When told to approached Lyn'nice slowly came to them cautiously. She looked at the thin gold Undanas Favchean held. The chatty Konti was for the first time in her life speechless. It was beautiful, so delicate. "F-flowers... T-this, this is for m-me? Really?! Like really, really?" Lyn'nice allowed it to be placed on her wrist. She took a few moments to stare at what she deemed to be the most beautiful thing she had ever owned. Forgetting her surrounding in her happiness she threw herself at Favchean in the biggest hug she could.

"So this bracelet let's you know where I am," Lyn'nice inquired as they left the Oathmaster's tower, arm in arm. "We should test how well it works." She smiled up to him. "Let's play hide and seek and you're it!" She playfully poked him and took off.
