A little break --> Zi'axe/open

[Wish]

Eiko listened, nodding her head when she thought it would be appropriate. If the rider was looking toward her for any clue as to the proper action, he was entirely wrong. There was no way that she knew what to do. She was young, she hadn't ever even helped to care for a child. Her brother had always cared for her instead....her brother. Nope. Not now. Nimarath snapped at Hers mentally, pulling Eiko from that depressing road. The Obsidian had had to deal with her rider while thinking of Eiko's twin before, and it was not a fun path to go down.

Sighing and taking a moment to compose herself, Eiko finally spoke again. "That sounds good, she surely will get the care and play she needs growing up, not to mention that it is close by for you to see her." That was right, she would have people to care for her and to teach her skills. Surely Eiko was saying the right thing, she hoped at least. "Will you nudge her into the direction of candidacy or keep her from the sands?" The question fell from her lips easier than she thought it would have.

The more it talked it seemed, the easier it became for her to converse properly. The skills that had long avoided and eluded her at the most trying of times were now finding their way to her lips when she didn't even really need them. She could have just walked away, but she hadn't. She could have allowed him to break it off, but again she had not. Maybe it's because I feel he's as uncertain in all of this as I am? Two people, both in positions of power, and yet unwilling to lead as they should... She couldn't help but smile, amused at the similarity.

Zi'axe found himself stareing at Eiko, and he awkwardly scratched his neck.
The way she made him falter bothered him, like a buzzing pest inside his mind...
How... ironic.
He too thought of how strange they both were, loners, yet leaders. Unwilling to interact, yet somehow managing...
How had either of them gotten so far?
Zi'axe let his sight wander, glad to distract himself.
He watched the people, the stalls...
But of course, Eiko's question brought him back.
Canidacy? Ah.. Had he ever really thought of that?
A warmth spread to his tanned cheeks as he realized how... careless he was.. Domi, his child.. How could he not have imagined her future?
Did he ignore it because he was.. unsure? Scared of being a father?
Mine, you are worrying me. What was in your drink? [/i]
Zi'axe snorted, rolling a shoulder.
"I would assume I'd drive her toward canidacy. That is the best thing for her."
He should have sounded confident. He was a strong man.. But his words were.. uncertain.
Mine! Shards, would you answer me?! [/i]
Kasprth. I am fine. Just... fine.
In some sense, that was true.. But in others, Zi'axe was lieing...

Eiko just stood there really, not quite sure of what to say, and not quite able to stay quiet either. She went for rocking onto her heels instead, her eyes cast toward the ground as she thought her response through. The silent young man had not given her much to work with either which was ever the help. Sighing finally, she just looked up and shrugged. "It's what she wants really." Okay, lame way of saying anything, but oh well. She looked around her, awkwarness settling in despite the desire for it to be anything but.

"Ummr....so....why'd you come?" She had had to, but he hadn't. He didn't like people obviously so why choose Trelis of all places over their more secluded home? "You don't look the sort to enjoy Gathers...." She clarified, letting her words tumble in a small, monotonous voice. A passerby looked her way with an odd glance and she rubbed at her arm uncomfortable. Biting her lip she reached for the hood of her cloak and pulled it over her head again. I hate my life sometimes. Nimarath only gave a snort and flicked her tail, her eyes still lingering over the Bronze's form.

Don't we all Eiko? Calm down, you're doing fine pet.

[twitchie]

Zi'axe watched Eiko with slight interest, though he didn't show more than bright eyes and mildly calm features.
He nodded as she spoke, unsure of what to answer. Would Domi enjoy the thought of dragonriding? Surely she would.. right? What would she be.. what kind of life would she have if unbonded?

A smile played Zi'axe's lips at Eiko's comment. The purple haired girl was witty and learned fast! It was scathe really.. how she read him like a opened book...

"You're clever. But you are right. I don't want to be here. Too many people. Too much to worry about... But its important to be hear, with open ears and eyes."

Oddly, the bronzerider's mood have taken a fair turn. He was actually amused. It wasn't so bad.. in a way.. Eiko was.. enjoyable company.. Fareth! Stop this!

Mine? You seem to be so confused.. You came here hating the world but now you seem to be glad. Are you sure you're well?

Zi'axe ignored Kasprth. His bronze acted much too worried and bossy sometimes...
