Monestary Raid

Characters: Eagle Vision
Open? Yes’m!
Where: Monastery or the countryside around the Monastery if you want to run into Eagle leaving the scene
When: 17th of Rebirth's Height // Evening
What: Eagle has decided to liberate a few books from the heavily Monk guarded Monastery.
Warnings: There will be just a small fire.


[ The monks ran from their monastery grabbing any free bucket or pail they could find as they hurried to the nearest well. The fire that raged in the courtyard was contained to a single hay-filled cart but it still needed to be put out very quickly. The chance of it spreading was low but it was still a chance the diligent monks did not want to take. They swiftly formed a bucket brigade with one monk filling the buckets full of water and passing them down the line to the monks closet to the fire in order to douse the flames.

Just as planned, this little distraction had left the monastery itself unguarded.

Eagle had been by earlier just to see if he couldn’t get a look at some of the many books he had heard they kept here. At that time he was given some kind of nonsense answer about knowledge being too dangerous and only for the privileged few. Not the exact phrasing but to Eagle that is what it sounded like. It was an idea he rejected entirely.

That was why he had staged this distraction. While the monks had been busy outside putting out the minor fire he had been inside borrowing a few books he had seen some one intensely studying earlier. They were written in a strange script he didn’t understand but at least it was a step closer to learning more about this world. He had no doubt that in time he would be able to read these books.

From the safety of the nearby bushes Eagle watched the rest of the scene in the courtyard of the monastery play out just to make certain they would be able to contain the fire. Then he stored his stolen books in a satchel and turned to leave the scene. ]

"Faolan wants to play with friends," the boy answered matter-of-factly. "Run and chase and pounce." He dashed a circle around Eagle to show.

"Don't like to play with most of them. Faolan is different."

This makes him a little sad, but it's hard to make new friends with small children in the first place. He'd much rather play with Hawk and Loki.

Faolan considered a moment, trying to figure out the words. "Talk too much," he said finally. And they did! Everything they did was words and yelling, and it was so fast and so much and so loud that it made the boy want to cower with his tail between his legs.

"No," he answered emphatically.

This required a much longer silence as Faolan struggled to find the correct words to give.

"Can't," he said finally, and that seemed to sum up the situation quite nicely.

They walked along in silence for a while as Faolan tried to figure it out.

"Know words slowly," he said finally. "You one person, Faolan one person. Can have a conversation and wait. Kids don't wait."

Faolan slowly shook his head as he considered. "Too many," he said. "And loud."

"And fast," he conceded after a moment.

Faolan smiled at him. "Like you," he decided.

"Really think so?" That made Faolan happy. He wanted to have friends. Impulsively, he hugged Eagle.

Faolan cocked his head. "Have to be self. Who else to be?"

That was praise? Yes! Eagle was praising Faolan! Beam! Wiggle!
