The Mixing of Language (Eisi)

[Darren]

Location- The crystal Hall 69th of Spring, 511 A day as a human pack mule is rather oppressive, it was no different for Darren as he led Eisi around Avanthal. The Konti seemed to be here for a reason but the translator didn't really explain what it was, just that she was looking for something and her family. He was somewhat happy he got to lead Eisi around as her companion, but on the other hand, he was a bit confused and annoyed by her since he couldn't really read her intentions half the time and had a creeping feeling she expected a bit more from him then a guide. Ugh what else am I suppose to do with you? he thought as he led her to The Crystal Hall. The place was somewhat filled with people wanting to relax for today. He turned to Eisi as they sat on a bench near a window, a whole view of one side of town and the wilderness next to it. Darren took a look at the view slowly unpacking the usual junk Eisi had him carry a somewhat relieved, happy expression on his face as he turned to her inviting her to sit down. "Eisi, What do like you to do?" He asked as he put his hands together. Darren showed off a few jabs and blocks to show what he meant and gripping her hands massaging them lightly. "I, fight, and massage" he explained looking at her to see if she understood. He was still pretty bothered by the fact the two had such a huge language barrier between them. Maybe....I teach Eisi? Eisi teach Darren? Vani, Konti? OOCWords slanted are common

Eisi followed Darren, she watched as he carried her things and giggled to herself, she wondered if maybe he was being nice and liked to carry that stuff, or if it was because she threw it at him and told him carry. She liked to think it was because he liked to. They stopped at Crystal Hall, a place of rest and peace. They sat on a bench as Darren started to talk with her. She smiled, "I dont know..." she stopped short for her took her hands in his, and started to rub them. She looked down and furred her eyebrows. "What are you doing Darren?" she asked as she looked up, he was nodding his head at her, wide eyed and smiling. She smiled slightly out of nerves and removed her hands from his. Then he came up with a great idea, he wanted to learn Kontinese. This made her smile. It will be hard, but she liked the idea of being a teacher. And learning more Vani didnt hurt. She nodded in agreement. "I will teach you Kontinese, and you teach me Vani, I like it." she smiled and turned her body towards him. "Agreed!" She sat there looking at him and smiled, touching her Face, "Face." she said and touched his face and repeated "Face." She was excited and didn't wait to get started. OOCPink Common Purple Kontinese

He nodded slightly a bit embarrassed at Eisi he gave her a half smile as he took her hand and put it down. He got close to her face to explain "I know face Eisi." The last few days with her he's been actively been trying to learn her language and common but this was the first time he actually had a formal lesson with her. He stood up ready to teach her some of his language. He considered the things that might be useful to the Konti, he paused for a second looking at their recent encounters that caused them to pause and look at each other confused for a bit. "Alright Eisi. Let's see if we can do something together," he said with a happy smile at Eisi. He pointed at some nearby couples walking around and wanted to do the same with Eisi. "Come Eisi," he smiled. It was his turn to share now "Couple" He said pointing at the people together around them. "Hug" he said as he gave her a one armed hug. "Punch" he said throwing out a couple of jabs. "and..." he grinned as he said the next word "cold." He took off some of her clothes and tried shivering again like they did the first time they met. He hoped she would understand instead of freak out again, he gave her a loving smile as he stroked her hair again, probably losing focus again. "Cold" he said snapping out of it and shivering next to her. NoteStuff in italics is common

Darren got close, real close to her. Eisi blushed as she thought back to the kiss they shared. No no no, it was just a demonstration. To show him what not to do. She felt his soft breath on her face as he looked into her eyes. She grew a deeper red, shying away from him a bit. "... I Know what a face is...." She blinked several times and thought about this, he must of been paying attention to her a bit more since their first meeting. He seemed not to notice her embarrassment, for he stood up all at once. She watched him, as he looked around, then he smiled pointing at two people walking down the street. It was a couple, with arms around them, she stood and walked with Darren, she smiled and repeated the word in Vani, the repeated it in Kontinese. He then hugged her, saying the word in Vani, She gave him back a bit of an awkward hug back before repeating it herself. Then he pretended to punch her a bit, she repeated after him again, adding it to the words he was teaching her. Then he turned and looked at her, his eyes grew soft, a light shade, as he removed her jacket from her body. He spoke the word cold as he shivered a bit, then he seemed to get lost in thought. "Cold" he spoke softly. She smiled as she watched him, "I know what cold is silly." she said as she pulled back on her jacket. She walked a couple steps away from him before she stopped and turned to him. A sly smile appeared, "What words should I teach you?" she looked around and saw a man watching a girl from afar. She pointed at them "Stalker", hoping he would get the hint to back off a bit. She walked with him a bit more, finding small words as Trees and rock to teach him, then she sighed, these words would not help him. She stopped and turned to him and pushed him, "Push" then pulled him to her and pushed him again. She raised an eyebrow and hoped he got it. Then she stepped a bit from him, kicking her leg in the air with a powerful swoop. "Kick", she then held her hand up in a stoping motion, "stop", she moved closer to him and backed away some,"Too Close"., she blushed some as she looked away. What was up with her. She looked at him from the side of her eyes. "Darren cold?" she asked in Vani. OOCPink Common Purple Kontinese blue Vani

[Darren]

It was Darren's turned to be humbled as Eisi told him she knew cold already. Oh my...she must have learned it in our first encounter. What a smart girl. He thought as he beamed at her with approval looks like I'm not the only one that has been trying to make this work. After she went off in what looked like a reflective speech she pointed at old man Ishurld and his cheating wife with another man. He repeated the word stalker sadly as he knew Eisi misinterpreted the situation. He rolled his eyes as he was pushed chuckling at the Konti's rather bad attempts to push him back. He was somewhat shocked as he saw the nice kick come from the little Konti girl, his eyes popped open as he realized that she, unlike Berus, was skilled enough to aim a kick at his head. He went and mimiced the last two words as his eyes furrowed for a bit. "No I'm fine. Morwen's gift. Thank you Eisi, sweet. Alrighty my turn again" he said as he offered the Konti his hand as they stepped outside the crystal hall. "Alrighty then! Let's see.... Let's start off with something good. Follow" he said as he did the motion behind it, beckoning Eisi to him. "Help!" he said as he flailed around wildly attracting people around him. He waved them away as they realized that he was teaching the new Konti, most already knew them as they opted not to glare at Eisi. "And...run!" he said as he did a short sprint and ran back. Satisfied by the lesson he looked around for something they can do. They had a decent view of the city to the left they saw Mirror Lake and the park where they could probably have a bit more fun with recreational things . The lake was always frozen but they could probably play with the snow or borrow some ice skates. To their right there was the respective holds with the WhiteVine compound being closest, there they could spend the day looking at the various medicines and Darren could finally treat Eisi to a wonderful massage. Finally just down hill was the market place they sold pretty much everything except animal related things, that was the marketplace neat the FrostFawns. The FrostFawns huh? I wonder how Cara is he thought as his mind went adrift as wondering if she was alright. He looked back at Eisi taking her hands polietly. "Eisi, We go together?"

[E'isi]

Eisi laughed at his bad acting skills as he trailed around, ran and other actions that correlated with the words he said. Eisi was careful to repeat the words and jeep them for latter use. Darren offered her his hand, she took it carefully as she wad still wary of men. He held in gently as he lead her out side. The winters air nipped at her as they looked around at all the could do. She spoke as Darrens eyes went far away. "Darren thinking hard?" she asked in Vani wondering what he was thinking about. "Darren having fun?" Eisi smiled at him, trying to be friendly and also learn more about this man she was spending time with. she waited fir a response as she took a better look around. The veiw was amazing from here, today was a nice day for this area,people where out and walking around or doing various activities. The city from here was just like a painting that Eisi would live to paint,she thought to herself that she will need to find canvas before she leaves. She looked at a crowed if people who seemed to be floating on something hard, as she looked at it more she noticed what it was. Eisi's eyes were caught by a frozen lake with people walking on water. Her eyebrows shot up as she couldn't believe her own eyes. Without thinking she started off in that direction pulling at Darrens hand as she went. Eisi looked back at him with wonder in her face, she pointed at the people in the lake "what are they doing?" she asked in common. Her eyes where wide and full of excitement for she had never seen people walking on water. She looked back and smiled,yes she would like to try that. OOCPink Common Purple Kontinese blue Vani

[Darren]

Darren merely nodded and chuckled at Eisi. "Yes, Eisi. Fun" He noticed Eisi take a look at the people at Mirror Lake and smiled. Of course it was normal here but he was guessing that they didn't have that anywhere else in the world. This place was special and so was Eisi... he thought as she pulled him along to get a better view. "Heh, Ice ...skating Eisi. Iceskating." He smiled warmly at her while they made their way together, walking closely. Darren reached out his hand and attempted to hold hands with Eisi. He talked to Aldin Coolwater who gave the two rental iceskates. "You two together?" he asked. He merely smiled as he took the skates and led Eisi to the lake. The two made their way to the edge of the lake he helped her with the skates as he went ahead and tried to teach her how to ice skate. "Little by little" he said moving his legs side to side slowly pushing himself forward. He turned back to see how Eisi was doing. If she wasn't able to skate they can just walk around the lake slowly.

[E'isi]

Darren reached out and grabbed Hold of Eisi's hand. The warmth from the touch gently tickled her fingers. Eisi looked down examining the hands together, she inspected them as if one wasnt her own. The coloration of their jopined hands were like night and day. White milky hands looked alienated with the dark warm tan coloration of Darrens. Her small delicate webbed fingers wouldnt allow Darren's large hard hands to fully wrapp around her own. She blinked , that wasnt the only diffrence between the two of them. She took this time to really take a good look at this man named Darren. He was taller then her, maybe three of four inches, and taller then most of his people. Darren had large shoulders and looked heavy with muscil, while she was small and light weight, with hardly any weight to weigh her down. She sighed as she looked up to his face, she never really thought about this before, but how old was Darren? He looked older then her, but most did, after all she didnt really look a day over 21. She was brought back to the day by Darren bending down and placing the shoes on her feet. She smiled as he helped her. "Thank you." He stood up and walked on the water telling her to take it little by little. She stood up only to lose her balance and fall down. "Dont think I do this." she said as she shook her head and laughed. She pushed her self out only to find herself with her butt up in the air, hair over her face, and hands on the cold ice. Her feet started to slip further away from each other. "Darren!"

[Darren]

Darren had a playful smile on his face as he watched Eisi stumble around for a bit. He took a good look at Eisi as she fell, her white clothing falling gracefully even though the move was rather klutzy. He quickly moved to her as she called out to him taking care not to appear too much of a pervert even though he sorta enjoyed the little stunt. "I'm here Eisi" he laughed as he picked her up from behind. "Is no good, we walk?" he asked as he attempted to take off her skates. He didn't like seeing Eisi get hurt even though he might have gotten a small thrill out of it. "Alright let's go...together" he said pulling her hand leading her around the more private area of the lake. The area was slippery even without the skates and half the time Darren found himself sliding across the ice rather then walking on it. Looking at Eisi he was still in fact very infatuated by her, he was still acting like himself but something was off with him. His usual self-confidence wasn't coming out much as he wanted he was tense walking a bit farther away then he wanted. I'm not sure if Eisi had the same feelings for him. Today was going to be the day he found out how she felt about him. He found himself holding hands with her again now moving to wrap his arm around her. He started whispering sweet Vanthain nothings into Eisi's ear as they finally reached one of the farther ends of the lake. He closed his arms around her from behind, pausing for a few brief moments before turning her around slowly to face him. He had a somewhat solemn face looking at Eisi as he entered her personal space. "Eisi...is good... Eisi is special ...Maybe... Darren... likes... parfart..." he said as he picked up Eisi slowly. He fell forward onto the snow underneath them, as this was the only way he could express his feelings. His looked at Eisi with a set gaze, his features an array of emotions- passion, lust, desire, caring, and most of all love. He moved his head forward touching her lips softly. He pulled back his breathing somewhat straining and hot. "Maybe Eisi likes Darren?" he asked. He didn't give her a chance to answer before he went forward again for a deeper, his eyes closed moisture around his eyes. His mind was mush, his thinking panicked, Is she going to reject me? ooceverything is in garbled common

[E'isi]

She sat on the cold ice laughing at herself. She was trying but the thoughts in her head kept her from really focusing on the task at had. Darren came over and smiled with a somewhat amused smile. He came up behind her and pulled her up to her feet. "Sorry, Im no good." she said as the went to the side of the lake. Darren bent down and took off her skates, he seemed to be at a lost. She tilted her head as she watched him closely, he seemed unsure of his actions, like a nervous person who knows that they got caught with their hand in a cookie jar. She smiled as he took her hand and lead her around the lake. They were silent for awhile, left to their own separate thoughts. Her mind went back to the day they met, the time they shared alone with each other. She thought back to the days on the beach with Serrif and how it was different from now. He asked her that day what it would be like to fall in love with a Konti. At the time she answered the only way she could, with facts that she got from observing others. But in this moment it was different, She liked Serrif, liked him like all the others she had ever met, Darren on the other hand was different. He seemed more open, and not afraid to show his emotions, not that he could hide them. For his eyes told the truth every time. They changed colors, when they where bright colors he is mad or excited, warmer softer colors, happy content, maybe even a feeling she didn't know yet. She blushed as she thought over the differences with the two men, and how she felt differently for both of them. Darren started speaking, his voice was low and smooth, poetic almost, it was all in Vani so she only caught several wards. He was saying sweet things as he wrapped his arms around her. She looked ahead lost in deep thought when something tickled her mind, she only felt this once or twice before, was it that..she opened her mind as a feeling filled her, it was warm, scary, wonderful, but yet timid...Hands grabbed at her waist as she was turned to face Darren, his face was calm, his eyes burning. At first this sent Eisi into a panic, she went limp, still, her eyes wide, reflecting water. The feelings got stronger as she was falling backwards into a pile of snow. Where was these feelings coming from? She landed softly as snow fluffed up around them, the cold seeped through her clothes, but she could not feel this for a shock wave of warmth shot through her body. Darrens soft lips hit hers, only for a moment, then he pulled back, his eyes calmer now, softer. He spoke clearly and slowly, his breath jagged and almost as if he was out of breath. "Maybe Eisi likes Darren?" The feelings shot forward again, this time tears filled Eisi's eyes, they were so pure. She pinpointed where they came from, It was from her. Feelings that she didnt know excited, feelings that she didnt expect to have. Was this what Serrif asked about? Was this what her sisters told her of? She didnt have time to think about this for Darren came down again this time kissing her deeper, more urgently, Eisi closed her eyes this time, and wrapped her slender arms around his neck, pulling him closer. When the kissed end she looked up to him as she spoke as clearly as she could in Vani, "Eisi likes Darren, a lot." She blushed as she felt the heat run through her veins. She gently pushed at Darrens shoulders so she could sit up. She started to feel the cold nip at her. She wished she could see into Darrens heart, to know what his intentions were, but her gift worked in mysterious ways, and she could not will it to happen. "Darren," she spoke softly as she turned to look at him, "Darren like Eisi?" OOCPink Common Purple Kontinese Blue Vani
