    "Oh!" Well, that was awkward and Dove was right, the Roki she described was some kind of badass. Arbok had never seen him in action though. "I guess I've been spending too much time reading romance in the library. Sorry." Again she smiled but it was sheepish and she blushes into it a bit...

    "Really?" Wow Roke got handsy with this one but he was always affectionate, they both were. "You know, I'm tight with his sister and she's a big hugger so maybe it is an Orkin thing." She liked Gruki's hugs, they reached into her bones and she could hug back more. She wasn't afraid of hurting...

    "Me? No I can't so much as tap my foot in rhythm." Her smile fell a bit. She really had tried, a few times but it was beyond her. "I'm happy enough to listen but if you need anything carried I can go all day." Hand behind her head she scratched an itch she did not have. "And I can fight for...

    "You don't say," Arbok enjoyed the story and it was good to hear that despite the trouble Roki was well. Gruki would be glad to hear it and that he made another friend. "Well he was lucky to meet you and I'm glad he didn't embarrass himself. Way to go Roke." Hands on hips she congratulated the...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    "Takes it out of you? I get that." She had seen the effects of magic on people and it seemed to weaken them, not just tire but something was taken, like it starved them of something vital like water. "Well that's Roke for you. Always helping someone." The amusement fled her voice quickly and...

    "Oh it's no problem!" Her smile remained as she let the children down, some tried to hold the smaller ones up like she had with varying levels of success. "These sound great." Eyes widened as she say them and heard about the contents. She had run out of snacks a few days ago and was hoping the...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    "Oh, well. I'll do that too then." Her smile widened. "And it's always nice to stick close to a healer." Bending her face low to Dove she spoke in a hushed tone, for secrecy. "And I can keep these rascals busy." Meaning the children who still busied about them which she turned to and called...

    If she still had the ears they would have perked up. "Yes, please and thank you. Those sound great!" Arbok would walk a mile for honey and nuts. She joined Dove in standing and finally stopped catching her breath. "In fact." Her eye went back down the cliff side. It looked a longer climb down...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    This was a lot of attention all at once. "What?" She looked to Dove who seemed familiar with the children. "You spooked her? Hey, that's not very nice." Her heavy breth stalled her words a bit but she tried to sound tough and like she was someone that should be listened to, which usually...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    For a moment Arbok just stood gathering her breath, now came the actual hard part. Changing back to human form was always harder, like pulling water up from a well, that first moment of breaking surface tension. She focused and felt her bones become smaller, her organs rearrange themselves, her...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    Lurching up on all fours Arbok stood and readied herself for the climb at Dove's direction. The cliff was high but not too steep so she gave a mighty huff to psyche herself up and galloped forth to the easiest part of the slope and (hoping that Dove was holding on tight) began to mount the...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    Oh hey, she didn't run away. Good stuff, time to do... The Act! Arbok had cultivated The Act with Gruki's help. It was a series of motions that were designed to show people that she was still herself and not like, a different being just because she changed form. A sit, her wide backside...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    Well that was wild. "YES! That's him, wow. That's amazing running into you." She took a step back and hoisted her backpack up, loosened the straps so they would fit her better. "So you guys met recently? Was he traveling south? I heard he had a tournament to go to, is he back already?" Slinging...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    She looked up to see if she could spot the wagon, shielding her eyes from the sun. "I don't see it..." She could not see much of anything up on the ledge. "Wait, Roki?" All her massive attention went to Dove. "You know Roki? Thin guy, green skin, cute but in a *not cute* way?" It wasn't...

    Wow those wings really were cool. "Huh? Oh, right, heh, sorry!" Gently but with some haste Arbok let her little captive down. "I've never met anyone with wings before. I was a bit mesmerised, they're lovely." It was a full three seconds before she realised she was staring at them again, her...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    Dropping her backpack with a clatter Arbok stretched out her arms as she approached the suspended woman. "Okie dokie!" With big arms she reached up and paused wondering where to get purchase on the small winged one. She did not want to take the wings, they looked fragile and pretty but very...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    "A young woman should not travel alone!" Someone had said that once and maybe they meant well but that someone had probably never met Arbok. At first glance you might confuse her with an Orkin due to her size but she was as Human as they came mostly. Though as she slowly made her way back...

    Open Catching Up: Astenvale

    "That's a bit harsh Gru!" Arbok laughed though she did not disagree. Ronja was probably the frailest looking Orkin she'd ever seen. Even moreso than Roki and that was something of a joke among them. The frying bacon sizzled as she batted it about with a wooden spat. "If you need help getting...

    Open A Step Toward The Beyond

    Oh no. "What? no I can't teach it, it's not a thing you can learn It's just, how I am." Her finished bowel got set to the side and she tried to think of a way to explain it. "Scamper," She put her hands up in an expression of earnest honesty. "I can't teach you how to be human because...

    Open Catching Up: Astenvale

    Faith. Depending on who you asked about it the talk could get heated. Arbok had been raised sans any talk of faith and she knew little of the gods and their workings, despite living in a monastery. Her gran had told her that prayer never matched sweat and toil. Which seemed sensible enough to...
