Musicaly adaped animals (Nidassasyae)

[Seliarus]

The 50 of fall, 510 AV

It was night. No more bright, warm sun shinning down. The only light that was given is the pale moonlight shinning down on the streets of Syliras, and occasional candles, or lanterns from a near-by home. It wasn't exactly cold, surprisingly, but the warmth over the day vanished in thin air. The streets, once filled with pushing and cursing, were now left abandoned. Only occasionally, a merchant would be seen walking to his home, a drunken beggar stumbling across the streets, or a guard doing his night shift. Nothing extraordinary. The stone structure that the city possessed, now gave the impression it was a ruin, not a main capital of a region. All this gave the Dhani, in his human form, shivers. it wasn't even five hours ago when the city almost drove him insane. But now it's like it never lived at all.

In his right hand, he was carrying a rather bad-in-shape piece of paper he got from the Employment Office. There was written how to get to the tavern called 'The White Swan Tavern'. As he got told, he is supposed to make an audition there. Well, at least he wasn't traveling alone. That kept him from crawling somewhere and hide. "It'sss cold." He mumbled underneath his breath, complaining about it like he was a little kid.

[Nidassasyae]

Nidassasyae smiled up at the night sky, her vision now unrestricted by the glare of the sun. With a sigh of relief, she sauntered down the cobblestone street alongside Seliarus. The walls didn't press in about her as much as they had during the day, when the sounds and smells of the crowd had attacked her senses. Rather, it was quiet and peaceful, if she could distract herself from thinking about stone walls. Entirely comfortable in the cool night air, and wearing only her tunic, the leopardess looked quizzically up at Seliarus. Cold? It seemed warm to her, but living in the North had probably contributed to that. She supposed that the longer they stayed down south, the more she would adjust. Nidassasyae scooted closer the Dhani, slipping her hand around Sel's arm, and trying to give him some of her body heat. It didn't occur to her that this might make people uncomfortable, but that was how one survived in the northern wastes. Utterly oblivious to most people's sense of propriety, the girl would continue to walk with Seliarus to the tavern. "Maybe we can go and find a sled and preserving equipment after this," she mused, her voice soft and quiet.

[Seliarus]

The Dhani kept walking, now with the Kelvic wrapped around his arm. How strange that was. His body almost shivering in the pale cold, and the girl walking alongside him was moments before from bursting into flames. He wondered how that would be even possible, but, well, they were hailing from different lands, and being a part from a different race. That seemed like the most logical explanation. May it be because whatever, Seliarus had nothing against her trying to warm him up. It is known that their race could quite quickly went to sleep if the temperatures were too low for too long. Speaking of low temperatures, he should probably try to figure out how he will survive the upcoming winter season.

"Alright." The snake shifter said, lowly but clear, nodding. "We ssshall get them oncssse we're done here." He promised, looking at the building with the same name on it's tab as the one written on his paper. Sending a glance at his Kelvic friend once more, before taking a deep breath, and walking to the door of the tavern, opening it. Let's get this over with. He said to himself, sighing.

[Nidassasyae]

Hanging onto Seliarus' arm, Nidassasyae's brow creased. The Dhani was so cold! She supposed that he'd need to wear furs, the temperature was slowly dropping each day. Nidassasyae decided she'd find whoever was the tanner here in Syliras, that way she could have the pelts she found tanned for Seliarus. Nidae didn't think that his vest and cloak would keep him warm enough for the upcoming winter. But, all she had seen was deer here! Deer wasn't the warmest, and she needed to find furs. Her mind singularly concentrating on finding proper clothing for her coldblooded friend, Nidassasyae decided that she'd probably have to buy something. The young leopard didn't want to tangle with a bear, or a wolf, unless her life depended on it. Though she was rash, she wasn't that stupid. No, he'd probably have to wear her bear pelt until she could afford something for him. Inwardly cursing herself for not bringing her bear fur along, she continued walking. She remembered that her mother had put coins in the emergency backpack. Maybe she could use that? The leopard gave a small smile to Seliarus. Hopefully it wouldn't get colder as the night wore on, so they might be able to hurry over to the Bazaar. Night was just falling, and she hoped that not all shopkeepers had gone home. If it did get colder, she wasn't going to let Seliarus walk around too much. Nidae knew that snakes didn't like the cold, but wasn't too sure what would happen to him. She'd get the equipment in the morning, if need be. Better that than Seliarus freeze to death. Nidassasyae watched the Dhani man intently as he read the sign. It all looked like a bunch of scratches in the wood, but apparently he could somehow decipher it. She followed beside him, peering into the tavern as he opened the door. She took a deep breath, steeled herself against the loud voices within, entering the tavern right at Seliarus' heels.

[Seliarus]

The Dhani walked out of the tavern, with the Kelvic girl on clinging on his arm. He could see that she was happy, so he though he shouldn't exactly ruin that. As he made his way forward, the cold would once again reap trough his skin. How unpleasant. "...I'm fine." He replied, but low enough so only she could hear, and with a nod, he continued. "Jussst...Cold." He added, if she wanted to dig any deeper, so he would have the answer ready.

Soon enough, he looked down at her, and shook his head. "Don't...You feel cold?" He asked, even though he could guess by her animal form, she was used on the cold. Seliarus simply tried to start a conversation, that maybe that would help the cold go away. "Where too now?"

[Nidassasyae]

Nidassasyae bit her lip and her brow furrowed in worry. Slinging her pack off of her shoulders, she dug through its contents. After a few brief moments, a grin lit up her face, and the Kelvic lifted a small bear pelt. The pack was large, but didn't contain much. Some money, and her dried food. There was plenty of room at the bottom for the cloak. After all, it only hung down to the small of her back, the original piece had had to be cut up into three different small cloaks. She hadn't wanted to leave the pack with Nehsmay, fearing what would happen if they got separated again. Lifting it up, she slung it over Sel's shoulders, fastening it with a deer hide tie before he had chance to protest. At least, she hoped he wouldn't protest. Nidae didn't want the Dhani to freeze. "Cold?" Nidassasyae asked, shaking her head and shrugging. "This is much warmer than Taldera ever is, sometimes I wonder how you and Nehsmay stand it." She made a show of fanning herself with a hand, smiling. "This afternoon I felt like I would melt!" "Hmm," she sighed, tapping one finger against her lip. "It's much too late to go over to the Bazaar. We can go in the morning, if that's okay with you." If Seliarus agreed, and they couldn't find anything else to do, she'd suggest, "Why don't we go and meet up with Nehsmay at Traveler's Row?"

[Seliarus]

The Dhani stopped as he seen his companion stop and started to explore the deeps of her backpack. The cold was lightly poking his ribs, and suddenly, he felt quite tired. Just for a moment, his thoughts shifted away from the city, and he remembered his younger days in his Nest. When he was allowed, like a little snake, sleep on the sun for hours. His legs started to weaken, and his eyes were closing by themselves. The feeling was so strange. But, what did happen, was, that he, in his state completely ignored the Kelvic. And then he felt some extra weight on his shoulders. Suddenly, he snapped out of his dream.

Suddenly, his thin body felt embraced by something like a bear, but dead. he looked around, as he tried to put the pieces of the puzzle together, and tried to understand the situation, and he looked at Nidae. She really was kind towards him. She did remind him on his mother, and how she always took care of him when he needed it. His lips offered a light smile, full of appreciation towards the Kelvic. "Thank you." He said, as he felt the pelt around him heating up his almost frozen body. "Colder? Melt? Girl, I envy you." He said, shaking his head, and sighing. "Sssometimes I wisssh I had fur like you can have." He nodded lightly. "Of courssse It'sss okay with me. Tomorow it isss, then. Lead the way." He finished, and motioning with the side of his head towards the road. he would get lost before they would even start, so he decided he'll just humbly follow the feline child. Cuddling a bit in the bear belt. It suddenly felt a lot warmer that before.

[Nidassasyae]

OOC=Gotta make this quick, need to get some sleep. Sel's appreciative smile made Nidae's body feel full of a warm and tingling sensation. She sighed, letting the wave of pure contentment flow through her. She had never known a Master, just her family. To please Nehsmay or Seliarus filled her with happiness. "Let's go then." Nidassasyae reached out and held Sel's hand, the warm feeling hadn't yet disappeared. Leading him forwards, the two walked towards Traveler's Row, Nidae leading the way. ~~~~~ Morning~~~~~ Nidassasyae stretched luxuriously, shouldering her pack as she did so. They had had to get up early before crowds became a problem, when the stall owners were still setting up their wares. The Kelvic girl glanced behind her, checking to see if Seliarus was going to come too.

[Seliarus]

Seliarus slept well that night. So he had no real problems of getting up in the morning. After a while, he got on the young Kelvic's tracks, and soon enough he would walk towards her. The sun was just about to rise, and the Dhani could almost feel the crowd slowly getting more and more dense. With a quick glance towards Nidae, he nodded at her, indicating to her that they should probably get going before something bad would happen.


OOC - Sorry for the wait. I'll try post more and more regularly from now on.
