Me: I don't really have much to say.... Weird... Oh! I have a bunch of work and failing! AAAGH!
Yuki: Stitch is currently in an unstable mental state so... yea!
Disclaimer: Stitch doesn't own Mabinogi, what a pity...
"Umm... Hello... I'm your eiry." The beauty said. Noel jumped in surprised.
"Ah-um, I'm Noel...Nice you meet you... uhh...?" He had yet to learn her name. "Your name? If you don't mind...?"
"I'm... I'm not sure."
"Oh..." He rubbed his neck due to the awkward silence. He quickly looked around for an idea. Unfortunately all there was tree's and snow... "Uh-um... How about Yuki? You know... Like snow?"
"How'd you come up with that?" She inquired. After a moment they began to laugh. Noel felt a little strange and embarrassed talking to such a goddess like being. Noel continued rubbing his neck still feeling awkward, but they kept laughing together. He then began to have a fit of coughs. Yuki floated toward Noel cautiously.
"I'm *cough cough* fine *hack* really." He sputtered between coughs as he stuck out his hand to stop Yuki's approach. Yuki wasn't sure what was going on but listened to Noel. "Really! I'm fine now." Noel gave a small smile. "So... What should we do now?"
"Umm... I'm not sure, what do humans do?" Yuki kneeled down to Noel's eye level.
"Hmm... I don't know either, I don't do much." He brushed off the snow on him and stood up, "I'm more of an observer. How about-"
"Didn't I tell you to leave?" Tarlach hissed. Yuki gave a disapproving look and turned to Noel.
"Are all humans like that?" She asked turning around.
"Nah, I think it's just me." They began walking toward the exit, "Maybe I smell bad to them?" He gave a small laugh. Noel showed her around town and explained to her "human" things and customs. He wanted to introduce Duncan to her.
"Where are we going now, Human?"
"Well first we're visiting the town chief and second my name's not 'Human' " He rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm Noel, NO-EL."
"You're a Human, just like all the other humans. You all look the same, what the difference?" Yuki gave him an innocent look.
"Yuki, that's not very nice. I don't call you eiry, you don't look like all the other eiry's. We're friends, that makes us different. I'm not friends with those eiry's, I'm friends with this one."
Yuki sat down confused. She made sure no one could look up her skirt like Noel had taught her. She put her hand on her chin and thought over what Noel said.
"Well how about Master?" She jumped up. Noel gave out a small sigh.
"Well how about Noel? That's who I am."
"But everyone else calls their humans 'master'."
"Yuki, it's okay to be a little out of the norm." He quoted Nora, "Besides, I'm not your average fellow. Now come on I want you to meet Duncan." Duncan greeted them with the biggest smiles Noel's ever seen. He was ecstatic to see the loner, Noel, have someone he could casually talk to. Duncan gave Noel a bear hug and tried to hug the intangible Yuki. After his rather embarrassing attempt to hug Yuki, Duncan kept laughing and praising Noel.
"Oh my boy I'm so delighted you finally got an eiry," He kept patting Noel's back, "Now you can talk to other people just as casually!"
"Other...People...!?" There was slight alarm and fear in Noel voice. Duncan frowned a bit at how Noel had withdrawn once more.
"Now no need to be shy, introduce your fine eiry to the others!" He cheered as he shoved Noel, and tried to shove Yuki.
"He's a rather nice Human. I guess they're not all like that druid." Yuki was floating by Noel's side looking forward.
"I guess so, there aren't many people who are like that sadly."
"Oh... So when are we going to do something fun or exciting?" Yuki felt energetic and eager to do something.
"Fun? Fun..." Taking a minute to think of a fun place they ended up at the pasture. "I love it here. There's a warm sun, bright sky, soft grass, and sheep who are adorable. Their wool is soft and fluffy like a cloud" Yuki was floating around desperately trying to touch the adorable sheep. Her face fell when her hand fazed right through the sheep. She let out a sigh and sat beside Noel.
"What wrong, you look upset." Noel was deeply concerned for his first and only friend.
"You know what fluffy is, you can feel what soft is. I can't..." Yuki was looking at the ground in sorrow. "You must be really happy to be human, to have senses and feelings."
"At times like these I really am grateful to have senses and to be alive, but having feelings it makes me wish I were dead sometimes."
Yuki tilted her head in confusion, and laid back onto the soft grass.
"Hey! Heeey!" They turned their heads to see a fiery Deian charging at them with his fist in the air, "Get out of my pasture!"
Noel's face showed obvious fear and attempted to grab Yuki's hand and began running off. Yuki followed closely behind.
"Did we do something bad to that human?" She caught up with the running Noel.
"No not really, he's just territorial."
Once they stopped, Noel was sprawled on the floor hardly able to breath.
"Does it feel good to be tired?" She asked.
"No, it's usually bad, but I'm usually not this exhausted." He sat up.
"What's wrong then?"
"Not sure, feeling a little tired today, maybe kind of light headed. I'll just take a long nap." As he laid down to rest Yuki kept hammering Noel with human emotions and feeling questions.
"What emotion are you having?"
"Unnnnn..." He groaned trying to sleep.
"Come on tell me! Please please?" She begged sitting down clasping her hands together.
"Tired... Sleepy... Annoyed..." He rolled so his back was to Yuki.
"Are those good emotions?" Yuki floated to face him only to see him asleep. "You sure look... Umm... It's called happy, right Noel? Noel what are you doing? Are you okay?" She kept talking and woke Noel.
"*cough* Huh? Let me sleep..."
"What's sleep? An emotion?"
"No a state in which someone is going to rest to charge their energy. When we have senses and use them it takes energy, sleeping recharges the energy." He went back to rest.
"I don't need to sleep then!" Yuki's stomach grumbled, "Noel I'm hungry."
"You don't know emotions but you know hunger? That's odd." He lifted himself off the ground and went to the grocery store. "What do you want, you can have anything."
"None of these look good..." She frowned.
Caitin came from behind the counter and gave a small laugh, "Noel, eirys' don't eat our food, they eat weapons."
"Oh... Thank you Miss Caitin." He went to the infamous Ferghus.
Ferghus spotted them approaching and he had a broad grin on. "Noel!! Hey there kiddo! Want me to fix you mace!?"
"NO! I mean... No thank you Ferghus." Noel instinctively put the mace behind him. "Yuki is hungry. What's good for her?"
"For your eiry, eh?" Ferghus turned to his rack of weapons, "Here's a small snack for the thing." He tossed a gathering knife. "That's five hundred gold."
After paying paying Ferghus Noel watched in bewilderment as Yuki held the knife in her hands. It dematerialized into specks and went into Yuki's skin. She smiled in satisfaction. They spent their day exploring, talking about feelings and emotions, and having Yuki eat nearly every weapon at the blacksmith.
Noel glanced at his gold pouch and saw that it was nearly empty. He let out a long sigh.
"Oh that's called depression, right Noel?" Yuki exclaimed happy.
"Yuki... You ate a hole right into my pouch..." Noel mumbled.
"It's not my fault if I get hungry so often!"
Noel stomped to Duncan, displeased of how and why his eiry was so hungry all the time.
"Duncan, why is Yuki so hungry all the time?!" Noel looked calm but his voice was edgy.
"Now now no need to be aggravated." He held up his hands in defense, "It's just because you always have her out instead of letting her rest."
Noel looked puzzled. He put his ego weapon into his backpack and Yuki vanished. Noel let out a yelp in surprise and quickly pulled the mace back out. Yuki appeared and looked confused for a moment.
"Just keep Yuki in your bag when you don't need her." Duncan walked away.
Noel looked at his mace nervously, "We really have no choice, Yuki." He glanced up at her.
"I hate it in there! It's dark and when I come out I have no idea what happened!" Yuki pouted.
Without another word Noel slipped his mace into his pack and went toward Ciar dungeon. When he got there the place was nearly empty. It was late into the night and most people were in bangor getting their own ego weapons. So Noel was forced to enter the dungeon alone.
"Man it's cold in here." Noel rubbed his shoulders with his hands. He ran to the first treasure box and opened it. After the goblins had appeared he reached for his mace.
"Oops, not suppose to take that out." Noel retracted his arm and put up his fists, "Going to have to do this again..." He cleared his throat. Hours had gone by and only the first floor was completed. Noel took a break near the stairs.
"I-Is it me, or is it... getting... darker...?" He said between gasps, wiping the sweat off his forehead. Never the less the gold gathering continued. By morning, the fighting was over, well almost over. Noel Grabbed the monstrous key and shoved it into the lock.
With a twist and a click, it slammed onto the ground like an anvil. As the door squeaked open there was the deadly pile of stones lying before him. Sneaky his away around it, Noel eliminated the metal skeletons, mostly with magic. Then came the final creature. He raised his fists to prepare for combat, but decided otherwise. Not wanting to break his hands, Noel pulled out his mace.
"Huh...?" A drowsy eriy spoke, "Noel!! Where'd you go to so quickly? I saw you a minute ago by Duncan."
"You must've been sleeping." Noel whispered while tip toeing away from the rocks. "Feeling energized?"
"You bet!"
"Good because those rocks are a big problem, so we'll just need to break them, Ok?" And with that they charged at the rocks. After just a smack from the mace, the ground began to shake. The stones piled up and gave a mighty roar.
"That's a golem?! Oh My Gosh!" Yuki eyes widened in surprise. She covered her head with her arms, even though she's intangible.
Noel felt the power in his mace decrease.
"Hey hey Yuki! Focus here!" Noel gave her a stern look.
She nodded and gave held a gaze at the golem. As the power in the mace returned the golem already had a stone fist raised in the air. Noel eyes widened as he ran back as far as he could. Apparently not far enough because the golem slammed it's fist to the ground and the ground trembled. The shock waved traveled to Noel and tossed him off his feet. He rubbed the bump on his head and cringed. The golem stood in a defensive position. With a quick hop, Noel raised the mace up and swung with all his might into the golem. It reassembled itself and roared. Noel ran back and prepared to counter. It fell into the counter and flew back. Noel continued to fire counter until the golem had crumbled.
"A fox enchant? Might as well sell it." He tossed the enchant into his pack. "I only go defense you know? By the way, before you said you felt energetic, that sure is odd."
"Maybe I'm a quick learner?" Yuki shrugged. "Noel I'm hungry again..."
Noel sighed and pulled out his gold pouch. They went toward Ferghus, Noel tossing the pouch in his hand for fun.
"Yuki... I don't think I'll be doing a dungeon for awhile..." He said while wiping off his sweat.
"Why not?" She glanced at the heavily panting Noel.
"I'm kinda... Tired..." Noel whispered.
"Tired...? Oh I know that one! It mea-! Noel!" She screamed.
Noel had collapsed and unconscious.
"Come on Noel wake up! Wake up!!" She pleaded. "Help! Help!!"
"Stop screami-! Oh..."
A seventeen year old boy, who had Emain Macha blue shadow wave hair, brown ochre precious eyes, earth-like skin, and happy lips, walked up to them. "What happened here?" He said with an uninterested look.
"Please! Noel! He needs help!"
The man looked at the boy on the floor. Nothing special, a weak kid on the floor. He was the cause of the kids unconscious usually. The usual, but what was interesting was the gold pouch spilled before him.
"I think I can help you." He said pulling his happy lips into a smile.
Me: Yay I finally got this chap done! I'm sick cause of my stupid cousin...
Yuki: Do tell.
Me: Well if you insist! She coughs on me during class and then blows it into my face!! I'm sick now!
Yuki: Um... you're not the only sick one you know...?
Me: (Looks at Noel)...
Noel: (breathing heavly on floor and sweating)
Me: I have no idea what you're talking about.
