Re: Ronnae 'Mash Belore Ryllos

He lowered the book slightly to look at the sick girl then stood up and walked over to her. As much as he wanted to sympathize with her and the others, he just found it hard to conjure up those feelings and relate to the magnitude of their loss. He embraced her in a good old fashioned hug and smiled.

"Hey, don't be sad. Everyone is going to be really happy that you saved them when we get back."

She looked down, not saying anything for a few moments. "It'll be nice seeing them again..." She said in a small voice. "I miss them..." She coughed a few times. "Th-thanks Kosi... I'm ready for the story." She kept her cover up to her nose.

"Okay!" He held the book back up to his face and squinted. What was this, anyways? A whole jumble of words with pictures and numbers. More confusing than a normal book, that was for sure. He glanced down at the girl for a moment, then stuck his face back in the book.

"So...once upon a time..." He paused to think, then nodded, "two friends were walking through the desert. At one point in the journey they had an argument and one friend slapped the other in the face. The friend who got slapped was hurt but didn't say anything. Instead in the sand they wrote 'Today my best friend slapped me in the face.'

Ronnae looked at him curiously. She laughed lightly, that was certainly an odd way to start the story. She relaxed trying to keep her focus on the story instead of the horrid pain she was feeling in her lungs.

Really, most of the stories he could remember his people telling revolved around morals, warnings or nature. All three, sometimes. That would have to do.

"They walked until they found an oasis and they went to take a bath. The friend who had been slapped got trapped in a patch of thick, deep mud and started drowning, but his friend saved him. After his friend recovered from almost drowning, he wrote on a stone; 'Today my best friend saved my life.'

Ronnae smiled faintly, she was now cuddled up to the large wolf beside her. She enjoyed the company, and she definitely needed it now.

The elf glanced over the top of the book to see if his friend was still awake; when he was younger he had been asleep by this point already.

"The one who had both slapped and saved his friend stopped the man and asked, 'When I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, but now you write on stone. Why is that?"

Ronnae let out a whimper after a slight coughing fit. When Nokosi had stopped to look at her she nudged him lightly to continue giving him an 'I'm alright look'. She rearranged herself on Fontaine, her eyes half slits right now as the exhaustion began to kick in. However stubborn she was being, trying to listen to the story.

The elf patted the Orc's head gently. "It's almost done," he assured her. He would secretly be glad when she did fall asleep; he couldn't remember the last time Ronnae had taken a nap or two. Her spending a day without at least 12 hours of it being asleep? Well that was just crazy talk. Nevertheless, he continued with the tale.

"The other friend looked at him and smiled before responding. 'When someone hurts us we should write it down in the sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

He closed the book and put it on his lap; still upside down, too. "The end!"

Ronnie's eyes were closed, her chest rising and falling to a shallow breathing. Her face no longer in pain, instead in the serene expression of sleep. She had fallen asleep curled up against Fontain's frame and it seemed like she was holding on to her favorite locket.

Nokosi hopped up from the bed and sloppily shoved the book back into the bookcase. He'd stick around and pester her for awhile, at least until she was feeling better, then it would be back to the daily grind of their 'new' lives aboard the ship.
