Subject: Pensive and Garyth

OOC: This is something that I should have done a while ago. Mike, are you up for a little RP?

Pensive bites the inside of his lip as he approaches Garyth. There's no mistaking it-- the captain does not want to be bothered this evening. The scent of grief and bitterness and guilt scuttles around Garyth like rats.

When Garyth sees him, Pensive lifts a roll of bandages, a wad of lint, and small jar of ointment in explanation. "Osred will kill me if I don't see to you," Pensive says. "And then he'll probably kill you for refusing my help. Let us save both our lives, and Osred's eternal soul, hmm?"

There is needle and thread aplenty-- appropriated, as Osred would say, from a stunned tailor's backpack. Pensive didn't approve of Osred's methods, but now was not the time to gripe over them. Pensive sews the flesh on Garyth's side closed, then the wounds on his back.

"You. . . travelled with Mission, then?" Pensive asks finally. "I taught him when he was a child in Bannock's Ire, you know. He was a quick study. Impulsive, a bit. He was apprenticed to an older member of our order, I believe. Penance was her name." Pensive's eyes flick up to find Garyth's for a moment. Was there a flash of recognition at the name, there? How much had Mission told these men, Garyth and Rennick, and the wizards, of the Path of Blood and Stone, and Mission's fall from it?

"Can you tell me of Mission?" Pensive's voice cracks. "And the Kaishin? How did he come to be? How was he born? What--"

But there the elf stops, and ducks his head. He waits for Garyth's reply.

Right ON! :D

That was great. :)

And really, it was about time Pensive asked about Mission and the Kaishin.

It'd be like . . . I dunno, a Christian finding out about Christ's return second hand and waiting for an 'opportune moment' to go inquiring about it. :)
