Time Stamp: Fall, 47th 514 AV


This man had been pestering Tara for at least a day or two now. With that he earned several threats. Her mission to coming even within the city would only be to restock on her medical supplies. Remaining nameless Tara does her best to keep away from him. It was obvious that he could not take a hint and forceful matters on her part had not come into focus just yet. She couldn't lie, with her personality, it was entertaining to have someone chase after her. Maybe when he was not swimming in alcohol and scum he was a better person.

After all, he was not that unattractive, she couldn't understand why someone would drink to this extent. Why would drinking even be his priority if there were men, woman, and children starving on the streets? Could he even hold up a job to purchase this amount of substances? There was a low whistle as she passed the Pig's Foot tavern. Her feet were moving rather fast, in order to dodge any possible interaction between the two. Unfortunately yet again, she was graced with his presence. "Aw, look at who is in a hurry today!"

Her eyes were locked in front of her as though she had heard nothing. Than he stumbled forward, his hands came around her waist as if to catch himself. He had never engaged in physical contact with Tara and she most certainly preferred that he did nothing at all. There would always be an on going war in her head. Jerking forward she managed to get his hands from her body. With that he earned a good, harsh slap. A gentle tingle erupted in the palm of her hand.

Forming on the his beard check was a red blotch, somewhat coming together as a hand print. "How many times to I have to say to leave me alone before you get the message?" Growling she took her finger and poked it several times in his muscular chest to get her point across. His face had the reminisce of anger but than it molded into a sly grin. Stricken with a deadly case of drunk, he pushed her rather harshly against a brick store wall and moved her some what Luckily is shove was nothing to hurt Tara.

One of the threats Tara dished out to this drunk involved the use of her animal form. Disgustingly he snickered in her face, his breath riddled with cheap liquor and cigarettes. Cringing under the stench she tried to move her hands but he held them tightly to her sides. "What's the matter? Little kitty doesn't like a drink or two?" Than he proceeded to breath in her face. Tara thought she was going to vomit in her mouth. She couldn't risk the clothing she wore on her body in an abrupt shift. There was no doubt it would shred her fabric to the point of no repair.

Instead she just spat in his face, "Get your grimy hands off of me, you scum." He was rather strong, which was surprising for a intoxicated man. Instead of obeying her demand he placed his head right next to the nape of her neck but she forbid his lips to touch her skin, wiggling in all directions. Tara was dead set on escaping this man on her own accord.

Dor'gen was tired.

Although the hour was relatively early in the afternoon, the Akalak was weighed down by a pronounced weariness. It seeped into his very bones, causing each step to feel as though it was the most difficult task he had ever faced. This sensation, of being absolutely exhausted, was not exactly something that Dor'gen was accustomed to. In fact, he made it a point to succumb to the embrace of slumber early each evening so that he might awaken refreshed the next day. However, the following evening was devoid of sleep. Not due to stress, worry, or any other personal factors...but simply due to the nature of his occupation.

As a mercenary, there were times when the satisfying a client called for working late into the evening. Such was the case the night before. What was originally advertised as a simple look out for potential assassins had turned into an all-night vigil. Dor'gen, alongside a duo of fellow sellswords, patrolled a man's residence up and down until well after dawn. It was only until the break of noon that the employer declared himself satisfied and dispersed payment for the services. Now, finally having been released from his occupational duties, the Akalak began the long voyage across town; headed for the Aquillar Hot Springs.

There he planned to sleep...sleep...and sleep some more.

Now, being that he was beyond exhausted, Dor'gen was not exactly in the mood to deal with any sort of petchery. He ignored the calls of merchants as he passed by. He shrugged off the passing sneers and comments by the townsfolk. He didn't even bat an eye as harlots shook their "goods" in hopes of getting a new customer. All were ignored as the tired Akalak walked along. However, as he rounded the final corner of the Castle Commons, there was a single sound which roused him from this state of "ignoring the world." 'Twas the distressed voice of a woman. Dor'gen was far from being a hero, nor did he entertain any such thoughts. However, there were certain things he just could not ignore.

The plight of a distressed woman being at the top of that list.

Reaching for his bastard sword, the towering warrior wrenched free his weapon and held it aloft; approaching rather casually. There were no sudden movements, nor anything that would set him apart from the common rabble at that point. However, upon drawing near enough, Dor'gen reached out with his offhand and seized the drunken fool by his shoulder. Although tired, the Akalak had strength enough to yank the inebriated man away from the woman...with enough force that set him square on his arse. "Oi!" he exclaimed, looking up, "Who the pet-" The Akalak did not permit him to continue his sentence, for the tip of his sword was promptly aimed at the man's throat.

"When a woman says let go..." Dor'gen began, gently grazing the tip of his weapon upon the man's flesh. "You. Let. Go. Now get the petch out.." These words were coupled by a murderous glare; for right now Dor'gen would have had zero reservations about ending the man. Although drunk, the man was perceptive enough to know when his life was endangered; and as such scrambled away as quick as he possibly could. The Akalak took a moment to watch as the man retreated before returning his sword to its scabbard. Then, facing the woman, he asked: "Are you alright?" in a significantly lighter tone. "Are you hurt?"

Tara lifted up her light boot and kicked his stomach, pushing as hard as she could. It was no use, even though she managed to throw his balance off it was not enough to create a halt to his unrighteous actions. Her skin became riddled with goosebumps, was she not able to get this man off of her? That's when her saviour arrived. Widened green eyes examined his dark purple pigment. The long sliver locks spilled over his shoulders.

His height towered over the both of them. Even in her tiger form her body from the tip of her nose to her tail wasn't that large. He was more than intimidating, he frightened Tara. Despite his anger being directed towards her peruser it still struck her fear into her. What surprised her is why would even come to her assistance.

A plethora of Sunberthians had passed by the scene and had done nothing to stop it. Though, she wouldn't question his actions because they saved her a time of nightmares and insecurities. No one in Kenash would touch the Kelvic slaves. They were treated as animals and at least that meant Dynasty members would not pursue the slaves. Yet in this city, half it's population either wanted what you had or to end your life for coin. Not one piece of Tara felt sympathy for the man.

Hazel pupils remained locked on him as he scrambled away. Her small soft hands ran over her exposed forearms. As though it would erase the idea of what would have happened if this Akalak had not came to her aid. He questioned her condition and Tara crossed her arms and was too embarrassed to look her saviour in the eyes. Her soft voice was only a little above a whisper. "I am fine."

Immediately she felt rude on how distant she was acting towards the grape colored man. "Thank you, I'm not sure what I would have done if you had not came." Her original reaction was not to question why he helped her but, curiosity flowed deep in her like blood. Often at items it was what let to her getting into a mix of trouble. "Why did you stop? You could have just kept walking.."

Right now, she had all the time in the world for questions. Leaning back gently against the cobble stone wall. Tara couldn't help her endless curiosity.

In the ticks following the Akalak's inquiry, a heavy influx of air was drawn into his lungs. In an effort to combat the growing weariness which plagued his body, Dor'gen breathed deeply and blinked rapidly. The sad reality of it all was that simply carrying on the conversation was going to be a struggle...and the Aquillar Hot Springs were calling his name. 'Twas in this very moment that Dor'gen conceived a rather "genius" idea, one that would allow him to ascertain the wellbeing of the woman before him whilst continuing along in his journey. For a moment, the Akalak placed his gaze directly upon the woman he had liberated...and noticed that she was not looking back. In fact, her eyes were directly upon the ground; and not in search of anything either.

What Dor'gen noticed next only plucked at his heart and caused a small frown to form upon his lips. Gingerly, she rubbed her exposed forearms...as if hugging herself and shuddering off the thought at what could have happened. "Gods above..." he thought, instantly dismissing the selfishness of his earlier goal. Only ticks prior, he had aspired to have her walk along in the direction of his end destination; thereby contributing to his voyage...but now, he had something different in mind. Upon hearing the soft, barely audible voice of the woman reach his ears, Dor'gen's idea was fully cemented in his mind. There was now no way that he would simply walk away, not now at least.

After a tick, the woman expressed her gratitude...before making an inquiry of the Akalak. At first, the question surprised him, for one would think that any shred of integrity would have prompted intervention. However, in Sunberth, there was no such thing as a shred of integrity. Men stole, killed, and raped as they pleased; and the woman before him was almost an unfortunate victim of the lattermost act. Offering the warmest smile that he could muster in the face of his exhaustion, the Akalak responded with: "You're most welcome. I'm just glad I got here when I did." This was punctuated by a pause before he said: "I stopped because I'm not from Sunberth. I couldn't just stand by and watch you be taken advantage of."

And that was the simple truth of the matter.

Reaching out, Dor'gen offered his hand to the woman. "You...Just went through something that most should never have to. I know this may sound...forward coming from a stranger, but I can tell that you're justifiably rattled. I'm heading to the Hot Springs, let me treat you and help you settle your nerves." he began...before noting how...awkward that may have sounded. "Erm...and not in that way obviously. I just find that the Springs help me relax after my jobs. Thought they'd do the same for you." came his addition. All the while, he maintained his genuine smile; despite being a touch flustered.

Tara than began watch him out of the corner of her hazel eyes. There was an odd boiling in her stomach, for a chime she felt safe right here in this ally with a massive grape colored man. She didn't even know his name. Though she could not shake the feeling, nor did she want to any time soon. After directed her gaze back on him there was the beginning of a soft smile playing on her lips. Tara tried to mask it but, she could not.

She was more than happy to know that at least someone in this city looked for the well being of her. Kicking herself softly off the wall she brought her small hands and gave her curls a gentle shake and than a stretch. A few curls falling onto her face but than she was quick to move them from her eyes so she could get a better look at the scared man. “I would be more than happy to escape the streets to the Hot Springs.” She was hesitant at first to take his extended hand but Tara went along with it. Placing her tan hand in his much larger than one she took the time to take note of how much large he actually was than her.

Tara brought her free hand up and placed it over her mouth to hide the laugh, if there was a ship named the S.S. Obvious he would be the captain. His somewhat cluelessness on simply asking a woman to join him was cute, she had to admit. Removing her hand there was a much warmer smile on her face. “Of course, I go the Hot Springs every chance I get a free coin. What's not to like about it?” Tara had not been to the springs once. She wasn't sure why she lied about having the same interest he did but it was a secret she'd keep to herself for now.

What exactly was a hot spring? She had no idea. But, judging by the name in general it was well, a hot spring! It was worth a try anyway. Her curiosity literally beckoned her to find out. Tara allowed him to lead, she had to break the ice for the time. "You know, a name would be nice." Looking up at him for a tick she than they continued navigating their way through the dreaded crowds of Sunberth.
