Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

Xlentia rolls a coin to each artist.
"A personal thanks." She says, smiling.

"Perhaps there are others, too? Or am I being optimistic?"

A waiter asks you to be seated near a corner of the building.

 

The artist pick the coins up, bowing to Xlentia.

"So is there anything else you want done to your armour?" I ask.

 

"Humans that don't hate you lot with a burning passion? Yes. I met a girl, she seemed on the fence about it, but it's not like she could just go out saying 'I don't hate monsters' in front of a bunch of monster haters."

 

"The crystals seem colored... the armor looks pretty, and I can't think of anything else for now." She says, smiling.

"I meant the other raptor tribes."

 

"Don't know. I haven't talked to any of them, but I am intent to do so soon. I just still have to figure out a plan of action, considering the amount of information I have is much more than before, and I don't exactly want a material thing from them."

 

"Ah, yes... well, you drove a hard bargain with me, I'm sure you can lever the trust out of them in a short order."

 

"I might just make it up as I go, and be polite. I'll start with the Akli'il tribe, any warning for me or peace words for them?"

 

"Don't mention me until you've got their trust."

 

"Alright. Noted. What's the best route to take to get to their territory?"

 

"Thank god..." I mutter under my breath, "Excellent! Just give me a call if you want anything else."

 

"Just walk until you find raptors who don't like you."

"You seem stressed. Are you okay?"

 

I sit by he corner and ask for the menu.

 

"I'll be fine, I guess. It's ok." I say, sounding stressed.

 

"Okay, what's wrong?" Xlentia asks, worried.

The menu is simple, but the food is cheap, it seems.

 

"Funding has been cut a little...short with the recent...events." I say, stressed.

 

"Have you even dug into my gift yet?" Xlentia asks, worried.

 

"Gift? What gift?" I ask.

 

"I gave you seven times what was in your treasury, in solid gold. Have you started going through that yet?"

 

"Oh, that giant thing? I just threw it into the vault. That was money?" I ask, surprised.

 

Xlentia sighs.
"Have your earth guardians decompress each gold coin I gave you. Each coin is about five tons of solid gold." She says, rolling another your way.
