Streets of the Town XVII

[Kyrian]

Look...it's the streets.

[AmberVael]

Skuld looks to Kyrian and pulls her hand back from the waiting rune.
I'm going to prove to her that this isn't my fault. My plan is to reveal that portion of the tapestry of fate to her.
She crosses her arms.
If you question what I am doing I can do it to you first, if that is a preferable solution. I don't think you have much to fear, do you?

[Kyrian]

No, I don't. And if you don't mind, I would prefer you do it to me first then.

[Warpfire]

Nathaniel wakes up from Dead Time. He looks around with confusion. "Damn, I hate it when that happens." With a yawn and a stretch, he heads over to Trog's.

[AmberVael]

Skuld nods and moves towards him, then sketches the same rune in front of his head, then places a hand over it and touches him on the forehead with the tip of her fingers.
Kyrian suddenly knows that Skuld was not the one at fault for Iames's and Aerin's disappearance. How he can be so certain is unclear, but he can tell that there is no way this could be false.
He gains a collection of small knowledges that all prove without a doubt that Skuld was not the one behind this. It gives her location at the time, and many things leading up to that time that (taken all together) indicate that she had not prepared anything ahead of time (including the bracelets which had been given to the three as their wedding gift).

[Kyrian]

Kyrian opens his eyes and nods, allowing her to show Vera.

[AmberVael]

Skuld steps back towards Verdandi and repeats the process, though she seems to have to strain a little more to actually accomplish it with Vera. Verdandi glares, though her features tremble a little.
Its a lie. I know its your fault! I know... its...
She hangs her head and sobs.
Skuld sighs and releases the bonds of force, then puts her armored arms around Verdandi. She doesn't look particularly comfortable with the situation.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian motions to Skuld that he'll that he'll hold Verdandi, if it'd make her more comfortable.

[AmberVael]

Skuld easily shifts Verdandi's weight in her arms, moving to pass the crying valkyrie to Kyrian without Verdandi even seeming to notice.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian holds Verdandi, trying to comfort her just by being there.

[AmberVael]

Verdandi cries and puts her arms tightly around Kyrian, while Skuld backs away and then darts off into the sky.

[Kyrian]

It'll be ok... Kyrian holds her, allowing her to cry.

[AmberVael]

Verdandi nods to Kyrian while her wings shudder.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian holds her close, gently rubbing her back.

[AmberVael]

Verdandi's crying slows and she pulls her wings to her back, but out of Kyrian's way. She leans against him, pain still in her eyes.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian keeps rubbing her back, gently.

[AmberVael]

Verdandi looks up at him, her clear blue eyes sad but grateful.
Thank you.

[Kyrian]

You don't need to. I care about you, and only want to make sure you'll be ok.

[AmberVael]

Verdandi smiles a little and leans her head back against him. Her hair falls out of place somewhat.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian smiles back at her.

[AmberVael]

Verdandi pulls her wings open and curls them slightly around the two of them, though mostly around herself.

[Kyrian]

So...before we were interrupted, is there anything you'd like to do today?

[AmberVael]

Verdandi shakes her head.
Not really.

[Kyrian]

You're going to get through this Verdandi...I know you will.

[AmberVael]

I know. Eventually.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian gives a small nod, and a small smile. It'll take time, but Vera...you've got friends here that care for you, and will help you through this.

[AmberVael]

Verdandi smiles at him and puts her wings a little further around him.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian doesn't seem to notice this. I can't speak for everybody, but I know that I won't give up on you. I'll do everything I can to help you.

[AmberVael]

Verdandi wraps her wings all the way around him and hums a little.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian looks off into the distance.
