I'd rather swim ashore. - Larus - October 19, 2014 All Welcome! Anyone from AS want to find him in Caiaphas' lair?

It was midday, not that he could really tell. The light from the ceiling's chasm was thicker almost, a bit more opaque and moody. Larus had been napping through the morning, sequestered in the cave where Caiaphas had left him. And now that he was awake - blinking past the darkness to stare at the pale light - his attention drifted. The boy was on his feet and roaming through the catacombs between the rocks, perusing every nook and cranny, sniffing at the cache where food had once been hidden, and generally, trying to keep himself amused. But Caiaphas wasn't here. There was only the dark - the dark without eyes, he thought after a moment. The lady's seemingly disembodied specks of gold were nowhere to be found.
He was completely alone. In the dark. Neither of these aspects of the current situation sat well with the child. So he began looking for a way out - or just a way to get some fresher air. The musty aroma of dirt and more dirt was starting to numb his senses. Larus attempted to follow his nose towards the outer wall in an attempt to find the way out - but this only led to a corridor, and he couldn't remember if it was the correct avenue.
With a dejected squeal (which echoed harshly off of the cavern walls) Larus stopped his wandering and slumped against a spike of rock; he sat there for a few minutes, just listening. There was a lull within the cave - a murmuring that came through the walls, or something. It coaxed him in to a calmer state... But the eerie sound could not replace the comfort provided by Larus' own mother.
'Mummy... Where is mummy.' He thought with a grim little sigh.
What a tragic thing for the littlest Sveijarn to think. RE: I'd rather swim ashore. - Aella - October 22, 2014 WAAH!
So is Lárus supposed to be like.. an illegal immigrant? Or... Oh and, is Caiaphas' grotto supposed to be secret? Why is it outside of Ankyra? D:
The sun was at its highest, but damn it was freezing that day! A clear sign that the seasons were close to change into the most cold winter in a long time. RE: I'd rather swim ashore. - Larus - October 24, 2014 The cavern that serves as Caiaphas' den is just outside of the pack lands, as far as I know. A deal between Caiaphas and Aktaie ('Phas lives outside the controlled area but is still a Nerd). Its not secret as far as I know. Larus is... Kinda like an illegal immigrant, haha, yeah. Caiaphas found him after he escaped from a lynx. She said she would take him home, but didn't specify whose home.

What could he do? Caiaphas wasn't here to play with him. He didn't know his way around the cavern well enough to find his way out of it, and... It was just so boring. Not much of a home at all. Larus listened to the hum of the walls and drifted with it. The little boy was lost and someone - not mummy - had found him; she wasn't so bad really, but it wasn't what he wanted. The cave wasn't home no matter what Caiaphas said.
Larus didn't think too hard on the subject. He wasn't mindful enough of how dire the situation was. His father was out looking for him, his mother was worried sick, but to Larus the only one affected was himself. Even Caiaphas didn't make the list.
While laying about upon the rocks, the boy rolled on to one side. He felt gravity begin to pull at him (belly first, of course) and scrambled as he began to lose his position - rolling off of the slight incline and nearly wedging himself in to a crevice. With a bit of flailing and discomfort, he managed to right himself -- just in time for a voice to stir the air.
The boy lifted his head, pricked his ears, and took on the expression of an alert baby owl. It wasn't Caiaphas was it? Had she come back with more food? Something better than dirtfish, he hoped with a dull thump of his tail... But no, the stranger was suddenly diving nose-first at him; prodding, testing, sniffing, and once more the child lost his balance. He rolled on to his back with his toes sliding across the stranger's face.

What was this place? Did Akatie know about it? But most importantly of all, who's freaking kid was that?

A secret name? Such as all those things Jokull always called him? Those were secret names; he always promised never to tell their parents when the silver first-born was being mean. He kept to that promise. But what use did this big tickle monster have with that kind of information? For a moment Larus just stared up at the lady. His face squished in to a look of befuddlement and concern, and then he blurted, RE: I'd rather swim ashore. - Aella - November 02, 2014
The child's poorly developed speech made the Amazon chuckle. Oh boy, youth was amazing, wasn't it? You get to be a total idiot without being looked at like an actual idiot, if that makes sense at all. Unfortunately, Aella was the only one who cared so little about males as to consider this one more than just another spawn. She was completely sure this wasn't Caiaphas' son, but unfortunately, that meant he was out of place, against his will. Had she kidnapped him? 'Course she had...

His tail continued to bat at the dust when Aella gave him her own name, although the sound of it was so foreign that it went in one ear and out the other; he'd forget all about this little exchange in a few hours. But when Aella mentioned Caiaphas, Larus' tail stopped wagging. He didn't exactly lose his mirth, but his attention did become more rapt. Hurt? Aside from his pride and a few new bumps and bruises to his ego (which he didn't have much of to begin with, nor could he identify it either way) he was fine.
Caiaphas, hurt him? Really? Why would Aella say something so strange about his protector. The boy's face scrunched with confusion. RE: I'd rather swim ashore. - Aella - November 05, 2014 Alright, I wanna apologize for being so damn slow :P
Nice? Was he serious? If there was something Caiaphas was good at was being a dick, no doubts allowed! Had the kid known how her relationship worked with the cur he would've understood why her first concern was if he was hurt.

Whatever Aella was feeling, Larus wasn't aware. But she continued to question him, asking the strangest things - and naturally the boy was too dumb to realize what was actually being asked.
RE: I'd rather swim ashore. - Aella - November 09, 2014
And there it goes again. Frustration traced Aella's lips with a huge sigh as she tossed her head backwards. The poor kid had no clue about anything that happened around him, he had just been abducted from his own home by a maniac and he actually thought she was nice, that must be some deep issues he got there. She noticed the obvious encountered feelings in the golden boy's eyes, and with yet another silent sigh the Amazon decided that he needed help. RE: I'd rather swim ashore. - Larus - November 10, 2014 Feel free to have Aella get exasperated and leave, unless you want more dumb little shenanigans. :P

The child's eyes grew wide, and then wider still with each new and strange word which was uttered. There was something called a maiden-arc and it's name was Aktay or... Or something? What was that about the sea? What was the sea? And finally, when the woman's questions stopped, all Larus could do was... Stare and blink. And stare some more.
In true childish fashion, he put the entire conversation out of his mind in a blip - he didn't understand it, and so it held no place there. Ding! Gone. He hurriedly rolled on to his belly, sat sprawled for a moment, then lurched his chest up and braced himself against the floor.
But he didn't answer her question with anything other than a blank stare, and that was kind of an answer... Right? RE: I'd rather swim ashore. - Aella - January 30, 2015 slapping an end to this thread to archive :I
The little talker rambled about Caiaphas and food and in between those two points, Aella was left behind. She didn't quite get what the kid was saying because it didn't even make sense, she was talking about Aktaie and the sisters and then out of the blue they were on a completely different topic. She just wasn't good with kids, even less with boys. A pair of big yellow eyes stared at her, asking for food, but being accustomed to be above males in every way, she didn't quite know how to take the act of, in her ignorant opinion, defiance. It was very uncomfortable and Aella was actually losing her temper with the boy so she just decided it was time to retreat, maybe even go running to Aktaie with her discovery like a snitch. Listen buddy. I'm going to go now, but I want you to keep an eye open... I've heard stories of Caiaphas being a total meanie who eats pups' ears... I don't want that to happen to you. she whispered with wide open eyes trying to knock some sense into the kid.. With nonsense of course... The fiery amazon got up and walked away, relieved of getting rid of the kid and eager to expose Caiaphas' little secret. |
