Syraeia Leela “Sy-a” Inn Keeper
Debuff. Snek in need of hug. Really. +1 day.
Skip, snakey Ivor Freinds, Dad energy.
Outside the Eye of Beholder.
Sya far more comfortable In her native tongue as she laughed and shook her head at his description of falling into a hole. Somehow falling into a hole and leaving with food… sigh…where all the people she knew were so reckless.
”You be a vore careful egg, you in my box now and expect you to come back sssafely Good egg Ivor..” She said the obvious care and fact she was really not just the dragon like hoarder of gold that she joked about being.
Sya noted he came down her 5 foot level and was… who thought Ivor was a brute? He was a good man and yes.. He had a bad record with her front door but she had taken repayment in meat however slim the pickings were lately. That was not Ivors fault though as all pickings were getting slim. Even The best pulled in less and lower yields. Her big blue eye dropped tears that froze into the snow and she smiled softly. She just placed a gentle hug about Ivor as her tail wrapped about his back and she gave him a cheeky poke that her eye glittered with some natural mischief. Well she doubted she could easily ever hurt Ivor…. But she was careful nonetheless not knowing her own strength fully yet. She did not want to hurt him… A Auralian noble maybe.
She broke away as they turned to look at her tavern with more lights coming on in the show shod windows.
“Thankssss you. I'm hoping the rest of my frindssss agree.” She had not been head patted in a long time and gave a smile that held old memories.
“Beard ssscratchy, reminds of trying to convince Gendry to shave, yeah. Vad idea. He kept complained all moon long. 10 wintesss… first.. firsts together. Thankssss.. “ She hurt but smiled at the fact she had fond memories. Sya did not admit she practically been married once regularly but also she felt… supported in Dawn Haven. She knew Ivor was definitely older, not how much but he had that dad energy not the horny energy. She did not want to know if scaling worked, there was a thing such as too big! That was…nope…No. Sya had been turned as a young woman, one who had to rebuild her future.
Sya needed some dad, friend, support energy right now especially as she wondered if friend's would be friends, foes or something in the middle. She did not have many words and slithered along feeling less alone maybe with a crack mended and a scar healed.
“
I am quite pretty and ssshiny, Ultramarine Blue is a nice colour at least. I gave my good boots to my staff, they never quit …on me….” Sya said a flip and she shifted her tail in a gesture to match her questioning expression as she mentally Flipped and flopped again back onto another track in Sya's more normal self.
“You may sssslither me back and essscort me to my Eye of beholding.” Sya said with a teasing tone as she pulled her coat to be a better cover and keep snow off Her scales.
“Tell them… Take an good Bottle of my Ssshe. Shine. It's first batch. More like home. Freinds get the good stuff.” Sya said thoughtfully as she let Ivor walk her back and tried to repay his kindness offering an taste a little more similar to their homelands. She could not do that much but it was one thing she could offer.
“Can you drop off more firewood For me pleassse when you can. Bakery, DistIllery, cold nightssss. Many guestsss.. fires cannot die, winter bitessss harder.” Sya said softly as they walked and slithered towards the large glowing form of the Inn, it's heavy doors and shutters where mostly still closed to the harsh weather of Dawn Haven.
Sya waved her tail as she spoke almost as if she was waving her hand expressively. Sya could help it as she talked with her Body making a s shape as she kept up with Ivors much larger stride than hers.
“Roundssa the back, we have a proper loading dock now, Right to basement, cool rooms, storage, I even have a snug and a drawing room….me… hard to belive, i still think im dreaming on a street.” Sya said with pride as they approached the Inn that was hers, her pride, her achievement and her responsibility.
Sya had a rough time and now…hopefully it was getting better.
