Voice; un: mai

[maipokerface]

Is it just me or are things starting to get a little unpleasant around here?

[She sighs out some. Not that she hadn't expected Olympia and Wyver to start not getting along again of course but it's still pretty annoying.]

I've been outright ignored in a few places in Olympia. Don't ask me exactly what I did to get that kind of treatment because I don't have a clue.

[Now to the meat of why she's drifted onto the network after having not touched it for this long. Her tone actually sounds pretty curious.]

Have any of the rest of you run into anything? Olympia, Wyver, wherever.

Comments

[maipokerface]

I can't say it's really surprising. I'm mostly curious about how they decide which refugee supports who. I mean unless you're pretty overt with it, it seems like that would be a little difficult right now.

[song_of_ice]

I think it had to do with the ribbons at the gala. I don't know about those that didn't take part. If you have a reputation in Wyver, then I suppose they hear about that in Olympia.

[A beat.]

Is that where you have decided to stay?

[maipokerface]

... I guess so. I kind of like working in the Fields of the Exalted actually. Not that I was ever around dragons at home but... it reminds me of that. Home, I mean.

[Wyver has a lot more foliage than the Fire Nation but there's tinges here and there that makes her a little homesick.]

[song_of_ice]

I understand that. Olympia is closest to home for me. It wasn't an easy choice to make.

[He felt a connection to the dragons, a gentle reminder of someone who was gone. But in the end, he belonged with his family.]

What will you do if we go to war?

[maipokerface]

Protect myself? Whatever they want to fight about with each other doesn't have anything to do with me.

[song_of_ice]

No, but war has a way of drawing you in, even if you want to avoid it.

It affects everyone.

Do they have a form of the royal guards there?

[maipokerface]

They have a group called the Knightryders Order. They're more a group of citizens than guards, I think.

[song_of_ice]

You should consider joining. You're a good fighter. You could help others.

[maipokerface]

[There's a momentary pause, then she can't help but huff out a laugh.]

That's pretty flattering.

[song_of_ice]

It's no less true. I have seen you use your daggers. You're better than anyone I have seen before. You could use that skill to protect others.

[maipokerface]

[This is voice at least so she can fluster all she likes.]

I'm not really the protecting others type.

[That's sort of a lie. She doesn't exactly go out of her way to hurt others if she doesn't have to.]

[song_of_ice]

I don't think that's true.

[She had kindness in her, but it was hidden beneath a morose nature.]

[maipokerface]

Yeah, well, that's because you're the optimistic type.

[song_of_ice]

I also see you have a good heart.

[maipokerface]

Whatever you say.
