Sya listened quietly as she made herself fully comfortable letting her own tail be used to rest against and lying partly on her side, plus the amount she drank was more than enough to make the woman tipsy. Sya, Eris, Ayel had all hit her harder than one thing and all 3 had been too much to handle in such a short time. it felt strange but good as she quietly nodded and learned, she still had an innkeeper! No matter what Ayel said, it was her Inn. 

She was respectful and let him tell his story unbroken, it seemed she felt more kinship to the noble advisor than she thought was possible. Kiara who always seemed more of a loner and heavily guarded, like many she probably had trauma that ran deep and ws hard to break. He had suffered similar trials and the Prince had some quiet virtues she recognised from her own experience that was more than a one off charity and a deeper aspect of his personality. As she tended to Inn and did not have such a personal relationship Sya did not access him in such a less guarded manner, when he was out and about he was the Prince, leader and entirely confident man who formed the town. 

Sya looked over at them a little curious With her big blue eye, closed it and then reopened making her decision. The alcohol in her system was probably helping this, definitely helping her open this side of her. She was speaking softly and her voice switched more native to her language. [color=c4df9b]“I.. I.. I am from a region that no longer exists, it's all blight, I'm probably in all certainty the last of my kin. 

Thornsrock, the castle sat upon a high rocky lump I guess, the settlement below, villages about, a Border Lord, we traded with Auralia. It's all ruins and ash now.” [/color]

Sya opened up and explained in more detail so her later part made more sense, she had to explain… she had to make it make sense. [color=c4df9b]“Its… not quite the same. My Father was a blacksmith, he made fine work, and likely would have prospered more somewhere in the Kingdoms. 

When I… changed and woke up, well… like I am, before I changed again. He was working on a commission for a lordssss son, I have that blade, it kept me alive, when I came across the Prince too. I had to face it all alone, the woods whispered, such terrible things, i fled… i… do not enter those cursed lands. I hear the darkness there or so it seems. Its malignant and…. Wrong. I'm not sure how I made it to be honest. Just another step.”[/color] She said her story running back to a point of Orions. 

Sya did not easily admit that she could sense the blight when she was in fallen lands, they tried to lure her, make her forget her mind and humanity. It tried to drag her down into the darkness and the despair that emanated from the miles of fallen towns, dead forests and miles of twisted and corrupted farm lands. 

[color=c4df9b]“The Prince saved me, He gave me a chance, he seems to have a rare noble soul. I helped run the smithy book, paid people, and collected money. Inbetween distracting a cute stable boy who grew into a handsome man and a farrier.”[/color] Sya gave a sad yet also soft sigh about that memory, if the blight had not come they might have made a life together. 

[color=c4df9b]“He had excellent fingers and learned how to use them, comfortingly muscled to cuddle to. He grew up very nicely, tall enough to tip toe.”[/color] Sya said with a cheeky grin to Kiara, much as she did not know her well, her more playful, impulsive side came out more like the old Sya. [color=c4df9b]“I'm sure you know what I mean.”[/color] She added a little more conspiratoriality to the other woman. 

She paused, unsure what to say, she rarely ever was this open or detailed about her past but present company felt right,  it felt therapeutic to let her secrets out. [color=c4df9b]“So, I kind of took over the Inn, he seemed to think i fit, as much as fit anywhere these days. He trusted me, even as an blightborn.”[/color] Sya said with a snort, waving her tails more slender, tip out the water playfully saying hello showing her heart began to ease a little. 

It also grew more animated acting alongside her emotions and actions vs hiding and being far more passive before. 

“[color=c4df9b]Thankyou, for reminding me, i'm not a monster, even if others seem to be in shock or scared. I hope Eris remains my friend, i come to enjoy her company these past weeks. Gadez is a challenge but she is.. different. ”[/color] Sya said with deep thanks, she needed this and needed to let her feelings out. She felt calmer now and the tension visible in tail plus her bright blue eye that could not hide emotions or her mental state. 

The snake woman breathed more slowly and easily as she watched them with her bright blue Single eye, more of the spark of curiosity and Sya nature that made her place the Inn.
