Jjousk Carryt |
|
YOU: Hey Jjousk, is everything all right? |
|
Jjousk Carryt looks wary of you as he hurriedly hides something in his burlap bag. |
|
-If you paid attention, you'd see it was a little rivnak toy made from wood.- |
|
-He simply nods and mutters something along the lines of "I'm fine."- |
|
YOU: Are you sure you're fine? |
|
Jjousk Carryt nods once again and doesn't speak again, staring past you down the corridor. |
|
YOU: Well, now, I'm getting concerned. |
|
Jjousk Carryt: Concerned? |
Jjousk Carryt: Why would you care? |
Jjousk Carryt: Go away! |
Jjousk Carryt: There are no lessons today! |
|
-He looks like he's not happy with being so rude with you, but he turns away from you, looking very hostile.- |

|
YOU: Hello, Birkin, Jjousk seems to be in some sort of a problem... |
|
Birkin Draewr: Does he, now? |
Birkin Draewr: Aye, that's what ah thought tha other day. |
Birkin Draewr: Saw 'im with that lil' rivnak toy, aye? |
|
YOU: Yes, I did see him with it. What is it? |
|
Birkin Draewr: Strangely 'nuff, ma good friend, that's a story ah do not know much about. |
Birkin Draewr: But lemme tell ya, I do know sumthin'! |
Birkin Draewr: Jjousk used to run into trouble in Ojaveda with a lil' gang, aye, a merry company. |
Birkin Draewr: Jjousk, Benack, and pretty Bhurral. |
Birkin Draewr: Benack still makes bows almost as good as Jjousk's, aye! |
Birkin Draewr: Y'know what, I think it'd be best if ya asked him. |

Benack Yasoj |
|
YOU: Hello, Benack. I've been told you can tell me about Jjousk's toy rivnak. |
|
Benack Yasoj: Jjousk's rivnak? |
Benack Yasoj: That's an old story. |
Benack Yasoj: Very old... |
Benack Yasoj: Please, have some tea, take a seat. |
Benack Yasoj: It's somewhat of a lengthy story. |
|
YOU: [You take the tea and sit down, listening intently.] |
|
Benack Yasoj: It's been a few years. |
Benack Yasoj: We used to be very close to one another other. |
Benack Yasoj: Well, that is, until Bhurral joined the guards, Jjousk got his job at the Arena, and I got married. |
Benack Yasoj: Thing is, we would play around Akkaio Ojaveda, causing more mischief than good. |
|
-He chuckles a little, looking a little nostalgic.- |
|
Benack Yasoj: Turns out Jjousk had a small toy rivnak, carved out of threestem wood, and he was very fond of it. |
Benack Yasoj: Mind you, he carved it himself. |
Benack Yasoj: Well, with my help, of course. |
Benack Yasoj: But... |
Benack Yasoj: He was even more fond of Bhurral. |
Benack Yasoj: Had he stayed here, in Ojaveda... |
Benack Yasoj: Well, the story would be different. |
Benack Yasoj: Anyways, he gave his favourite toy to Bhurral. |
Benack Yasoj: When we came of age and found a job, we had to split up. |
Benack Yasoj: Sure, Bhurral and I still see each other from time to time, but Jjousk and her, well, they've lost contact it seems. |
Benack Yasoj: Anyways, when Jjousk left for Hydlaa, Bhurral met him, and returned the rivnak, so that he would never forget her. |
Benack Yasoj: And it looks like he hasn't. |
Benack Yasoj smiles sadly. |
Benack Yasoj: Too bad it's hurting him so badly. |
|
YOU: We need to find a way to help Jjousk... |
|
Benack Yasoj: I agree with that, but, how? |
|
YOU: Perhaps a new shield? We could tell her Jjousk made it... |
|
Benack Yasoj shakes his head. |
Benack Yasoj: No, I don't think it would work. |
Benack Yasoj: The guards get their shields replaced by Trasok. |
|
-He then looks thoughtful again.- |
|
YOU: How about a new hammer, then? |
|
Benack Yasoj: What did I just tell you? |
Benack Yasoj: She won't accept it, most likely. |
Benack Yasoj: It would look like you're bribing her. |
Benack Yasoj: Let's keep thinking. |
|
YOU: I know! We can carve Bhurral a rivnak toy, and she'll remember Jjousk! |
|
Benack Yasoj: Good idea! |
Benack Yasoj: I bet she'll even agree to a date. |
Benack Yasoj: You know, to catch up. |
Benack Yasoj: I'll tell you what I need: a nice, thick branch of threestem wood. |
Benack Yasoj: That is all! |
Benack Yasoj: Go fetch one, I'll ready my tools. |
|
YOU: Here you go, a nice, thick branch of threestem wood. |
|
Benack Yasoj: Yes, this one will do. |
Benack Yasoj: Thanks, tabei. |
Benack Yasoj: I'll get to work on it now. |
Benack Yasoj: Meanwhile, you should go talk to Bhurral. |
Benack Yasoj: Maybe you'll get her to loosen up a little. |

Bhurral Varsheen |
|
YOU: Good day, Bhurral. What can you tell me about rivnaks? |
|
Bhurral Varsheen: Rivnaks? |
Bhurral Varsheen: Uhm, well, they're useful, aren't they? |
Bhurral Varsheen: You can, hum, use them to carry items from here to there, you can make candles out of their wax, they're pretty fast... |
Bhurral Varsheen: Why do you ask? |
Bhurral Varsheen: Do you want one? |
|
YOU: No, no... About Jjousk's rivnak. |
|
-She looks a little confused- |
|
Bhurral Varsheen: But, Jjousk has always used a drif- Oh... |
|
-She keeps quiet for a little bit, blushing under her fur.- |
|
-Suddenly, her expression changes to a more hostile one.- |
|
Bhurral Varsheen: Now, you! |
Bhurral Varsheen: Don't go bothering the guards while they're on duty with stupid questions, or I'll have you thrown into a cell for the rest of the day so you learn your lesson! |
|
-She goes back to standing proudly while she looks at the road leading to the city, even though she's still blushing under her fur out of embarrassment.- |

Benack Yasoj |
|
YOU: Geez, Bhurral almost bit me... |
|
Benack Yasoj smirks some and nods. |
Benack Yasoj: Yes, I should have told you to be careful. |
Benack Yasoj: But look, I've finished the rivnak! |
Benack Yasoj: It's the very same that Jjousk and I carved. |
Benack Yasoj: It even has a little dent here, on the belly. |
Benack Yasoj: Take it to Bhurral, please. |

Bhurral Varsheen |
|
YOU: This is for you. |
|
Bhurral Varsheen takes the little wooden toy, and her eyes sparkle, looking a little wet. |
Bhurral Varsheen: T-this... |
Bhurral Varsheen: It's Jjousk's, isn't it? |
|
YOU: No, but he'd like you to have it. |
|
-She sighs softly.- |
|
Bhurral Varsheen: I do miss him... |
Bhurral Varsheen: Could you tell him that? |
Bhurral Varsheen: Or wait, even better: I'll write him a letter. |
Bhurral Varsheen: We need to catch up. |
|
-She suddenly smiles brightly.- |
|
Bhurral Varsheen: Would you do me a favour, please? |
Bhurral Varsheen: Could you go to Brado and book a table for three - myself Jjousk and Benack? |
Bhurral Varsheen: I'll write Jjousk a letter meanwhile. |
|

Brado |
|
YOU: Hello, Brado! I'd like to book a table for three. |
|
Brado: A table for three? |
Brado: I'm sorry, but I don't really book tables. |
Brado: I have a lot of people coming and going and I need all the tables to be free, can never be sure how long someone's meal will take. |
|
YOU: Please? It's for Bhurral, Jjousk and Benack. |
|
Brado: Say what? |
Brado: You should have said that earlier! |
Brado: It'd make my heart happy to see those three together again. |
Brado: Sure, sure, go tell Bhurral I'll book her a table. |

Bhurral Varsheen |
|
YOU: Got it, you have a table booked for whenever you need it. |
|
Bhurral Varsheen: Wonderful. |
Bhurral Varsheen: I have finished writing the letter. |
Bhurral Varsheen: Please, give it to Jjousk. |
Bhurral Varsheen: You don't need to tell him anything else. |
Bhurral Varsheen: I'll tell Benack myself. |
Bhurral Varsheen: And... |
Bhurral Varsheen: Thank you, YOU. |
Bhurral Varsheen: This means a lot to us. |

Jjousk Carryt |
|
YOU: I have something for you. |
|
Jjousk Carryt seems to recognize you. |
Jjousk Carryt: Ah, it's you again... |
Jjousk Carryt: What do you have for me? |
|
YOU: Bhurral gave me this. |
|
Jjousk Carryt: B-Bhurral? |
|
-He starts reading the letter, looking happy and affected at the same time.- |
|
Jjousk Carryt: W-wow, I never thought you'd help me so much, and to think I was so rude to you... |
Jjousk Carryt: I'm very sorry, Klyros. |
Jjousk Carryt: Please, accept this as my gratitude and my apologies for treating you wrong. |
