Kile, Vyuu Luna
Baby needs a few gold coins, and she’s willing to help out a random fellow Sylvari to get them!
Warnings: None.
Kile sat, despondent as could be, and spun her pistol on the table, catching the barrel with the tip of her finger to propel it along. With how many Sylvari were in the Grove nowadays, she'd assumed at least one of them would need a chore or two done for a few coins; but no. All her legwork today had been for nothing. Coin purse: Still empty, except for the handful of copper she'd been given to buy her dinner. At this rate, she'd never be able to afford a new pistol.
Vyuu Luna saw Kile sitting down, she looked sad in a way. Or maybe not? Vyuu went to Kile and saw her coin purse. Vyu thought "Poor her, she didn't seem to make lots of money today".
Kile didn't realize she'd attracted attention at first; she kept spinning her pistol and wallowing in self-pity for a minute before she thought to look up. "Oh!". Almost instantly, she perked up - even her leaves took on a chipper sort of lift they'd lacked a moment ago. "Hi there! Hey, you don't need an errand girl, do you?"
Vyuu didn't actually need an errand girl, but she knew that if she said yes, she'd make her happy. "Well, I could always need one!" she said and sat down next to her looking at her with her big eyes.
Kile straightened up on her stool, her own eyes round and bright. "OH! Thank you! I really need some coin, you see. What did you need doing?"
Vyuu smiled. "I knew that this would make her happy", she thought. Vyuu,
Vyuu, still smiling, looked at her with eyes filled with happiness and said "You could help me with some studies! I'm working on something and I really need some help". Vyuu really needed that help. In fact, she has to do so many things for her studies that she doesn't even get to rest sometimes.
Kile said, "Oooh," and then, a moment later, "Oooh...." again, a touch less excited this time; chewing her lip, she glanced down at the pistol in her hands.. “Well - I’m not saying no! But, uh, I'm a little young? I'll do what I can, though!" She chirped, lifting her head again to meet the other Sylvari’s eyes. "I'll do what I can! I'm Kile." Ky-lee, she pronounced it.
Vyuu said "You'd only have to collect some things for me. Nothing too far away from the Grove, so don't worry! I wouldn't want you to get in danger or Something like that.” Vyuu was very happy that Kīle would help her. "O-Ohh, by the way! Nice to meet you Kile - or should I say Ky-Leeee? My name is Vyuu", Vyuu said with a cheery voice. "I'm looking forward to work together with you then!"
Kile’s grin was back in full force. "You too, Vyuu! What did you need?” Bouncing to her feet, she showed her pistol in its holster and stood at attention as she'd seen the Vigil soldiers do, hands folded neatly behind her back.
Vyuu: “I’d need a special flower. You can only get it at night and I've been told that it shines brighter than the moon, but not as bright as the sun. It looks cold, yet warm. They say that you can find it in the Caledon Forest, in Quetzal Bay", Vyu said with a more serious voice. Surprised by the way Kile moves her body, she asked "I've seen these moves before! Are you a soldier?"
Linkerer Kie laughed and brought her hands up to wave a negative, the straight line of her shoulders easing again. "No, no! I like to watch the soldiers sometimes - especially when they march!" She mimicked the straight-legged march, stomping in place, and gave Vyuu a salute which melted into a shrug. "I don't know that I'd want to be one. I can get that flower, though! Was that all?"
Vyuu: “I’m sure that you'd make a great soldier, something just tells me that!, Vyuu smiled and said. She looked at the ground, looked up again and said "Yes, that is all. But don't underestimate it. It’s more difficult than you might think it is.”
Kile nodded, matching Vyuu’s serious tone even though she was still unbearably excited.
Vyuu said, with a less serious voice "I'm sure that you'll be fine. I wouldn't let you do this for me if I weren’t sure if you'd be able to do this." She knew that Kille was excited.
Kile had done her best, but after a moment, she bounced gently in place, her leaves flapping above her grin. "I'll get right to it tonight, then. A bright flower in Quetzal Bay," she said, "And I’ll bring it right back here. Where do I take it? And, uh, how much are you gonna pay?” That was always the awkward question, but she needed that money.
Vyuu knew that she was motivated now and that made her happy. She smiled at her and said "As much as you need, or even more. If you ever need a helping hand, let me know!"
Kile's eyes went round with shock. She could buy that pistol! And with just one errand, and a simple one at that - going flower picking! "Did you need just the one?” She asked, a hint of confusion in her voice.
Vyuu looked at her interested. "She really seems to need that money", she thought. Vyuu then said "Only one. But don't forget that it isn't the easiest thing to do. You can't just pick it up, there's more to do than that."
Kile tilted her head. "What do you mean? It’s just a flower, isn't it?”
Vyuu sighed. "Unfortunately, no. It isn't just a flower. Here's something that I wrote down, it’ll help you,” Vyuu said with a serious voice, while staring into her eyes.
Kile reached for the slip of paper Vyuu held out to her, confusion creasing her brow. "Okay," she said simply. Without reading it, she folded it up and tucked it into the pocket of her jacket. "Do I meet you here again when I have it?"
Vyuu stayed up and said "Yes, you will meet me here again. And don't worry, you will be fine." Vyuu smiled at her and walked away. "I'm sure that she’ll be able to do this, it will be an adventure for her though", she thought while smiling.
Kile called, "Goodbye!" with a little wave. Then, after bouncing in place for a moment, she dashed off - no sense in wasting time. Even though it was midday, she had a long walk ahead of her.
