Yes, the fertility thing was another implacation toward Caleb getting kicked in his nomads :L, though Caleb knows why he got kicked - he spoke in the other language to spite her again (though it was also just for the overall grief he's put her through). Just clearing that up. :L
The Oracle smiled down at the situations at hand, but worry was in his heart that Caleb was persisting in showing.. Qualities. Vathek will need assistance.
"Oracle?" The Oracle shook his head, telling Tibor not to question him. Not right now. A story was unfolding in front of his eyes and he so fondly preferred it to the flashes he saw of futures he could not be sure were real.
Just their minds Tibor, the rest will be done for us. Tibor nodded and left, the Oracle sensed the apprehension the young man held.[0]
...
Vathek watched the familiar scene of the three guards' memories drifting from their minds, but before they could take in his features again he heard the crack and the roof caved in. Dirt and dust clouded as he felt a heavy log of a support hit his shoulders. He was fine though. He supposed he had a few 'gods' to thank for that. "Okay, we go."
Vathek grinned as Blunk emerged from the ruins, nonchalant to the surrounding chaos. "Chaos, panic and disorder.. I take it your work here is done."
...
Hay Lin swished her pigtails as she unlocked the door of the Silver Dragon, "Food?"
"No, I'm just here because I'm you're friend." Hay Lin pulled the door around on it's hinge and leant on it heavily, smiling and crossing her eyes to Irma. That girl never ran out of sarcasm.
Will ruffled her hair and smiled sheepishly, "You sure.. I mean we shouldn't really be just helpi-"
"Relax Will." Irma oozed. "I'm quite sure Caleb is yet to have aquired a cup." Hay Lin gleamed and exchanged an amused look with the ever-quiet Taranee as Will pouted and crossed her arms, entering the building.
Taranee was quick to wrap an arm around the girl. "The only time this will get old, is when you top it."
"GIRLS!" Will reversed back out of the building witha tired look on her face, and Hay Lin felt sympathy for her: Blunk was Meridian; Meridian meant Guardian buisness; Guardian buisness mean Will was in charge. Even if it was just shooing away a pesky passling.
Hay Lin took a step forward, "Blunk! No more free food!" Blunk then moved to the side and Vathek appeared from the shadows.
...
"You." Cedric scowled, the guards appeared to have turned into bumbling idiots - the collapsing roof beams must've hit their heads. It didn't matter though, this was personal. "Come with me. Bring your pet."
...
"Will!" Hay Lin leaped in front of her and started making karate chop motions as Will pulled out the heart, acting as fast as she could in case shock settled in.
Blunk raised his hands, "No! No! No! Good blue thing!"
Will bit the words on her tongue back, Guardians unite. She stared at the face of the galhot before she finally recognized him. "Oh! Duh, Caleb's friend.. Va.." She couldn't remember.
"Vathek." The great blue giant strode forward and Will had to stop herself from stepping back. Something about him made her uneasy - she'd ignored it in the castle, adrenaline pumping too hard for her to feel the need for fear by then. "O fýlakas pou tha prépei na gnorízoume."
"So.. How ya been? You look.. Blue." Will smirked at Irma's joke. She knew she should probably scold her.
"I must speak with Caleb." Will sensed the urgency in his tone, the others taking equal interest.
...
Caleb dumped his notebook on the counter, "Ooh! He's not here! Tell us!"
It was coming from outside. Caleb pushed the semi-closed door open, walking out to the group. Green eye's shot to Will. "Ofeílo na sas efcharistó gia zimía mou. Den écho oneirefteí na se iméres."
"Caleb?" The tone was surprised; implicative. Accusing.. Humored?
"Caleb. What a surprise." But Hay Lin nor Will were his focus now, Caleb's ears burned red as he looked up at Vathek; he'd been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
He might have said Vathek's name, but he was too alarmed to really know for sure. Vathek gave him a knowing smile that Caleb grimaced at, but then Vathek turned grim. "I have news."
Caleb turned to Will, undoubtedly gaining another look and several more presumtions from the galhot, but he persisted in showing her respect where it was due. "Excuse us."
"Excuse me?"
"Please." He mirrored her scowl as Will scrutinized him, then turned to leave; he'd half expected her to push out her tongue in a childish manner, but she only waved the girls to follow, along with their sighs of frustration.
"Let's eat! Blunk, I hear there's a dead pidgeon on the roof!" Caleb scrunched his nose with disgust as Blunk nodded and began climbing the drainpipe, drool seeping behind him.
O fýlakas pou tha prépei na gnorízoume - The Keeper, she should remember this.
Ofeílo na sas efcharistó gia zimía mou. Den écho oneirefteí na se iméres - I should thank you for injuring me. I haven't dreamt of you in days.
[0] I guess it's almost a joke - Tibor is really old, but the Oracle is older so he calls Tibor a young man. I hope you get that.
