*She didn't hear him, she just keeps pacing.*
[u]Do you have a location? At least tell me you have a continent.[/u]
*Her eyes widen at something he writes on his chest.*
English
-
"Uh.." [b]He looked over at Lil S, somewhat confused. [/b]
-
*Li'l S nudges her and she turns around, jumping when she sees him.* [u]Who are you?![/u]
-
[b]Allister waved slightly [/b] "Captain Allister."
-
*Li'l S takes off the helmet and seems to write what he just said on his chest in some unknown language. She reads it and turns back to him.* [u]So what are you doing here and why are you talking to me Captain?[/u] *She asks, looking back at her helmet every now and then as her tail twitches impatiently.*
-
"I came here to train, saw you seemed anxious so I came over."
-
[u]That's because I am anxious! God, I have a girl to take care of, Sketch has been paralyzed so I have to carry him around everywhere, people are just running around the Dojo killing everything they see because why not? And now Li'l S is telling me my helmet is picking up a distress signal in Sphirinian?![/u]
-
"A distress signal? I have a ship.... Could check it out."
-
[u]But we don't need a ship, it's coming from somewhere on this planet. Li'l S says it's within a couple miles of the Dojo![/u]
-
"So what's the problem? Check it out. See what's going on."
-
[u]Do you know this area well?[/u]
-
"Yeah pretty well"
-
[u]Then you're coming with me![/u]
-
"Great... Let's do this shall we?
-
[u]Good.[/u] *Her helmet splits down the middle and she carefully fits it around her head, locking it closed again. She then puts on her armor, locking it closed as well. Without even speaking, she makes her way outside.*
-
[b]Allister followed her out, his hand hovered over his holster for a moment [/b] "Should I call the guard? Get a squad?"
-
[u]No no no... The distress signal is the type only a single person would send. We don't need a squad. Besides, the fewer the people, the faster we move.[/u]
-
"Good point. How far away is it?"
-
[u]It should be coming from about one to two miles away.[/u]
-
"Cool. So what's your name? Don't think I caught it."
-
[u]My name is Sphan'Iri. But everyone calls me Sapphire. I'm Sketch and Vorim's cousin.[/u]
-
"Ah. Sketch.... Wolf guy right? That's not his real name I'm guessing?"
-
[u]It is... Sort of... His Sphirinian name is Dren'Sphurin, and a sketch or drawing happens to be one of the many meanings of the name. He chose [i]Sketch[/i] because he liked how it sounded more than any of the other translations. As for Vorim and I, we don't know what our names mean, so I go by Sapphire and Vorim'Tairn goes by Vorim.[/u] *She says, seemingly figuring out which direction the signal is coming from and starting to walk in that direction.*
-
[b]Allister followed her movement, heading the same direction she was[/b] "So someone must have given you that name? Right? Or did you come up with it on your own?"
-
[u]A woman named Nora did, actually. She doesn't live in the Dojo anymore, though. She married someone named Orn and they both left just before the reforms.[/u]
-
"Oh I was just about to ask if she was single to." [b]He laughed crudely [/b]
