Kelth's Return

[*MirielKanan]

* There was a flash...and a rumble...a portal opened up and spewed forth the battered body of Kelth.  Had he been any more unfortunate, he would have been dropped into the Ditch, so close a call was it.  Though it seemed Lady Luck was on his side for this moment.

A couple of hoodlums scurried towards him, ready to strip his body from all things of value, which were, abundant...


The moment a greedy hand attempted to snag the pendant from his neck, Kelth's firm, right handed grip reached and instantly snapped the poor fellow's arm.

Upon seeing this, the other hoodlum bolted, hearing how his former "partner" shrieked as he was battered to bits by Kelth's fists...*


"Nae a fokkin' finger on me stuff! "

*After that, Kelth staggered throughout the Hive streets, the filthy rain stinging his numerous cuts and bruises* 

Kelth would feel support as he begins to walk. He would immediately recognize that presence as Eve. She would give him support and walk him along.

"Kelth! What happened? Never mind, save your strength?"

She digs in and takes Kelth to the Orphanage. She takes him up to a bed and sends for a healer. The healer bandages him up and Eve watches him with concern in your eyes. She squeezes his hand and waits for the healer to leave. Once the healer does Eve lays her head lightly on his chest.

"What happened to you?" she finally asks.

[*Mausman]

*Kelth had a hint of guilt in his eye, as he glanced at Eve*

I got tired of a lot o' things...'ad tae sort m'self oout in a manner I knoow best...git me arse intae a heap o' shite...fight a bloody war an' see if I live tae tell tha tale...

I'm...masochistic like tha'...I guess...

* He heaved a sigh, clearly feeling guilty*

[*MirielKanan]

*Eve kisses Kelth's nose*

I can't stay mad at you now, just look at you, you're a mess. Next time tell me, please. I can handle you being gone, I can't handle not knowing. There however is a lot you need to know. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow though for now scoot over.

*Eve would sleep next to Kelth through out the night as he recovers. The next morning she would catch him up on all the troubles afflicting Sigil from Nienna's attack, to the excessive taxes passed, and all the ramifications in between.*

[*Mausman]

I shoould 'ave told ye...I knoow...I'm a soddin' mess an' far...far from p'rfect...Eve...

I've done a lot o' thinkin' 'boout m'self...s'aboout time I finally fix m'self up... *He snorted in self mockery and lay a kiss on her forehead*

Thank ye for lookin' after me sorry arse...

*He scooted over as she asked and swiftly fell asleep, calmed by her presence*


* The next morning, clearly not all of the news makes sense to him, yet he listens with all of his attention to Eve*

Clearly I'm soddin' b'hind on facts...s'nae sooundin' good t'all...

Hoow've ye been keepin' yerself? *He asked, his hair all over his face and body slowly recovering*

[*MirielKanan]

I've been doing quiet well. My vineyard is prospering, even Khazeet bought a few barrels a while back. I have been running Wren's orphanage and keeping the children up with their studies. I've also invited as many children from the Hive Ward as the building can hold. Some refused to come, but we have enough wishing to come that I'm considering expanding. Of course if Nienna's school works out then that will hopefully lessen the load a bit.

[*Mausman]

*Kelth nodded and listened as Eve spoke*

Aye...but thar's a long road 'head still fer tha' school tae go...

Glad yer vineyard is doin' good. I gave up drinkin' thoough...but if ye need a 'and thar? *He smiled*


Any short on 'ands in tha' orphanage?

[*MirielKanan]

I have people taking care of the vineyard for me. I return to Waterdeep once a week to check on things. As for hands at the orphanage, we can always use more volunteers.

[*MirielKanan]

About a week later Eve storms into the room her and Kelth have been sharing and begins throwing all his belongings into his bags. After she has all his things packed she throws it at Kelth. Her face has anger on it but it looks hurt as well.

"Get up! You're leaving! We are done and I never want to see you again!"

[*Mausman]

* Kelth, groggy still from his nap, reaches for his belongings and staggers out*


Nae sure wha's goin' on...but I s'spect noow's nae a good time tae talk. Hoowe'er, regardin' "through". I wasn't aware we were at tha stage o' unison. Per'aps I 'aven't been clear 'boout things...but per'aps this kin be d'scussed 'nother time, yer clearly angry an' 'motional rite noow, an' I nae got a fokkin' clue wha's goin' on.

If ye feel like talkin'...let me knoow.


*After stating that, Kelth wandered on*

[*MirielKanan]

*Tears fall from Eve's eyes*

Not aware? Just what have we been doing these last few months Kelth! I told you how I felt, made it clear in fact, I likewise told you I ... don't ... share. If you'd still have seeds to plant and holes to plug then I'll not stand by and watch you do it!
