*Blink, you're a twitchy one aren't you? Okay she won't get any closer just yet. Though Pom isn't exactly intimidating, at just under four feet tall.* "I'm a silkweaver! *Turns a little to show him how the back of her cloak is much longer than the front, she's also covered in spots and very bold, mostly cream embroidery.* Name is Pom, what's yours?"

"Oh, well, hi there Pom Pom," they said in a silly tone. It seemed the quick repeat of her name was intentional. "I'm Xun, and sorry, but I'm not a Silkweaver... Uh, I-I am a Courier though!"

They slowly turned their head to look out at the vast expanses of desert, before clearing their throat. "...I should change profession though. Not much business... At all."

"Hello there! You're blue! Not a color you see very often, my Mama was blue... well, teal actually, are you related to silkweavers?"

Xun stumbled back, startled for a short moment. Who would’ve guessed that someone would approach them, instead of the other way around? 

"Not that I… know of? Erm, I mean, nothing’s impossible but… Wait, what’re silkweavers?" they asked back, head slowly tilting.

Previously, on Cobalt Runner...

((Alright, so the night after I promise my few RP partners the post I hadn't given them for awhile, my PC croaks and leaves me lost in a world without internet. Real life, such a shame. Nonetheless, it's taken a long time to get around to getting it fixed and... and I'm still on that long & winding road.

I managed to borrow a friends iPod, of all things. And although for a few days I was reluctant to use it for RP (since it can barely run skype alone which is what I truly needed it for, and typing on it is less than savoury) I couldn't keep myself away from here forever. I'm willing to type out 4 paragraph posts to Vanem on this lil' thing if I have to.

So that begs the question. A very broad, loaded question.

What did I miss? ))

((For the meme! 13, 15, 31, and 52.))

13: Earliest memory?

Running alongside a good childhood friend, a friendly race of sorts. it was the first of many defeats to come, but all in good spirit.

15: Cause of anger?

Well, many different things can evoke different emotions. But if you had to pick the ones from the top of the list...

Having a package/letter/delivery lost or stolen.

Someone outdoing them in speed or maneuverability.

...The Mountain and The Ancestors.

31: FAIRIES?!

...No, they don't believe in fairies. But if you told them that fairies existed, they might just believe you if they trust you enough. Otherwise, hand over the proof!

52: Insects?

That actually depends on the insect. While they like some insects under the excuse of 'interesting' or 'cute', there is no excuse for spiders.

No. Spiders.

~~~~Also, I'll get to your reply soon Best. I'm a bit of a scatterbrain right now, so I'm just knocking out the small things. Priorities, one by one~

So, does the post come on Sundays?

"Absolutely not! No post on Sundays!" Xun stomped their foot with a quick declaration of postman's law.

...Only to sigh and kick a bit of sand. "That is, if there was anything to be posted or delivered in the first place."

(( Sorry to Best & Vanem, my posts might not be done for awhile. This next week is going to be very cluttered, so if you see the posts pop up, it's a miracle that I had the spare time. Either way, don't expect it anytime soon. Sorry... Thanks, to you both. ))

In the chasm of broken bridges, or rather outside it, stood a blue wayfarer only a few paces away from the edge of the cliff. Unlike all the travellers that would be within the chasm rebuilding the cloth bridges, they were atop it... and at a greater distance to the west, at a point where the cliffs of the chasm were much closer together. While it didn't need the expanse of a bridge to cross, it still presented a sizeable gap to jump. And jump they did. Time and time again. The figure would run forward, leap, thrust higher with the charge on their scarf, glide steadly downward and...! ...Miss. They always fell several meters lower than the other cliff, slapping into the cliff face. Though they'd only climb back up the first cliff face to their original spot and try again. With the ease they had in climbing, it didn't look like a matter of getting to the other side. It was a matter of getting to the other side in one jump. They got to the top of the first cliff again, flopping over in a huffing heap.
