Mission 40

[sing_for_me]

Who:Sotero, Bayek of Siwa, Alex Benedetto
When:April 25th 2017
Where:the far shore, abandoned temples
What: Alex and Bayek are practicing with his vessel form when they bump into someone unexpected.

Come, Renki!

[ Although it had only been a few days since Bayek arrived, they both agreed to learning more about his vessel form and its abilities. Team work was also key when dealing with any adversaries, and it was best to practice that before any real ones appeared. Bayel's ability seemed to allow Alex to see through his eyes, a strange connection shown by the mark of Horus around her eye. There seemed to be some marking on her hands as well, but they weren't sure yet what those might mean.

The view from the sky was amazing, but also something that threw her off as she was still on the ground, so getting used to that was also a priority. ]

How is it up there, Bayek?

[ This was different from when she met him. The confidence was gone. Right now, he just looked like a scared kid. ]

Yes, but I don't know where..[ Is all she can tell Bayek. She really didn't know much other than the heavens being after him for some reason. ]

Sotero, it's not safe out here. Why don't we go back to the temple I'm staying at?

[ She crouches down, holding her free hand out to him. ]

I promise you'll be safe there.

[veiledflame]

You're talking to someone about me?! I knew I shouldn't trust you!

[ He tries to scoot back more. ]

It's not safe anywhere! If you guys can kill Talos-neesan, you can kill anyone you want! Votelli's dumb for trusting any of you!

[ He practically shouts it at her. ]

I tried going home, but I can't! Just leave me alone!

[sing_for_me]

H-hold on, I was just talking to my shinki. [ She raises her arm to show the eagle perched on it. ]

Look, Bayek, return.

[ As he transforms, she looks back at Sotero. ]

He wants to help you too, okay? He's the one who spotted you here.

[ Talos..the name was familiar. That woman from the compound? So he knew her? ]

Please, Sotero, what's wrong? We can't help you if we don't know.

[cattewhisperer]

[The eagle transforms into a tall, dark-skinned man trying not to look intimidating.]

No one is here to harm you. It's like Alex said. We just want to help. I'm Bayek.

[He smiles.]

That Talos, was she someone from your family?

[veiledflame]

[ Rubbing angrily at his burning eyes, he remains backed into the corner he'd scooted himself into, but he eyes the newly-appeared shinki with cautious curiosity now. ]

O-oh. [ As if he felt a little silly about overreacting over something like a shinki connection. Or that he still didn't know much about that himself.

He looks away, his arms wrapping tightly about his knees once more. ]

Talos-neesan... she was... No, but. Sort of. [ That sure does make everything clear, doesn't it? ] She was really strong. I liked her. And now she's gone and it's all your fault! I don't want to be here anymore!

[ His mood keeps swinging back and forth between fear and tearful grief and anger so quickly that not even he can keep up with it all. He just lashes out because they're the only ones here at the moment. Which is even scarier in itself. ]

[ Alex looks at Bayek for a moment, not entirely sure what to say. It was clear that he was very upset, and nothing was going to happen until they could calm him down.

She moves a little closer to him, and slowly pulls him into a hug, though she won't hold him too tightly. ]

I'm sorry you lost someone important...you must be hurting so much..

[ If he doesn't pull away, she'll softly stroke his hair. ]

[cattewhisperer]

[Bayek looks back at Alex. It's not like he knows what to say either. All he has right now are questions.
Poor boy, his sister is gone, no wonder he's lashing out. Is he in danger from the same people? What can they do for him? If anything? What kind of trouble he's got himself involved in?

Questions. So many questions.]
