Who: Miakis and Kyle
When: After the hazing
Where: Courtyard
What: Light hearted gossip
Kyle: I'm so DONE.
Miakis: Aw... don't tell me you didn't have fun with that!
Kyle: It was a little nippy out there.
Miakis: (Wuss! Afraid of shrinkage?) But isn't it so liberating to just run around in undies without a care in the world.
Kyle: (it hurts, dammit!) Maybe when half the castle wasn't looking at me. And damn, did you see the Admiral haul ass after me?
Miakis: THAT was funny! (I wish I had taken a picture)
Kyle: I admit that it's pretty funny NOW. So am I really all knightly and done with hazing? Because after the abuse I've been through I THINK I AM
Miakis: *pats him on the head* As you are...
Kyle: *long suffering sigh* Hey. You think Ferid's really gone back to wherever this time?
Miakis: *sadly* I don't know...
Kyle: And Arshtat, you know she's not going to let us comfort her.
Miakis: I don't expect her... Her Highness has always been strong.
Kyle: ARG! But that's not fair! She's human too!
Miakis: That's her way of coping with things. The best we can do is be here if she ever needs us.
Kyle: *makes a noise as if to say that's not good enough* I guess you're right though. It also means she's the default leader of the three of us here.
Miakis: There was never a doubt about that.
Kyle: *sigh* I wonder what she'll make us do.
Miakis:.. ... ...
Kyle: ...what?
Miakis: *smiles sweetly and hits him playfully on the back* It's good to have you back!
Kyle: Yeah, yeah, love you too. *snort* So hey, you're probably happy your Sauronix crew is here.
Miakis: *smile falters a bit* I suppose...
Kyle: Oh? What's that, girlfriend? I thought you'd be thrilled?
Miakis: Oh, I am thrilled... though... *looks around for a bit before turning to Kyle in a low whisper* It just seems odd. How they're behaving... especially Rahal...
Kyle: Oh? Odd like how?
Miakis: *uncomfortable* I can't really put my finger on it. But Rahal acts rather different from the last time I remember.
Kyle: You think he's just not used to everything here? And different like how?
Miakis: Perhaps... but like I said, I can't put my finger on it. But he's acting differently. *thoughtfully* The Rahal I remember, for example, is rather overprotective of his older sister to the point of obsession...
I haven't even heard him mention Rania's name once since he got here. It's just not like him...
Kyle: Maybe they got into a fight before he left.
Miakis: *looks at him oddly* Rahal fight with Rania? That's unheard of! His sister complex is so big that he's taken the hobby of impersonating her to frighten away would be suitors!
Kyle: He WHAT?! Seriously?
Miakis: *crosses arms and nods solemnly* Seriously! That's why neither of them could get significant partners. Rania's get frightened away and Rahal is to obsessed with keeping boys away from his sister that he couldn't care less with looking at another girl. *stops* Come to think of it... I was probably the only other girl he talks normally to other than his sister back in Sauronix Castle. *sighs* That's rather sad...
Kyle: So women freak him out?
Miakis: *shakes head* More like he couldn't be bothered with them. *cocks head to one side* But that doesn't explain his odd behaviour here.
Kyle: So he's not interested in talking to women. *pause* Holy crap, did the castle turn another guy?
Miakis: *eyes widen* The castle turned... what?
Kyle: I swear, the rumor is that this castle turns guys into liking other guys. Obviously not EVERY guy, but you have to admit, there's a lot of gay guys here.
Miakis: *blinks* Come to think of it... there was that surly guy in green who keeps boiling water... *shakes head* Though, I always assumed that the openly gay guys have always been gay. I mean, you, yourself are aware of it. A soldier's life can be really lonely...
Kyle: I guess, but liking other guys? I just don't get it. Although you have a point. Maybe the castle doesn't TURN guys. Maybe it just attracts guys who...like guys for some reason?
Miakis: *cocks head to one side* I suppose... though that would mean, Rahal has always been... That's so strange. I suppose you never really know everything about a person...
Kyle: Well, we also don't know for sure. It could be something completely different that we just aren't aware of.
Miakis: *looks at him seriously* Do you think this is something worth investigating? *eyes widen* Could the Zexen Council be hiding something behind this? *eyes narrow* Like some sort of brainwashing technique...
Kyle: Girlfriend, you just told me all the people already are gay. So no, it's probably not that. But...from what I've seen so far, I bet they have a shit fit about that kind of thing in Vinay.
Miakis: *sighs* I know what I said... *puts her hands behind her head* I'm just so booooooooored now that you're not much fun to harrass.
Kyle: Hazing's over. *grin* Maybe you should get yourself a man. That'd keep you occupied.
Miakis: *blinks* Why would I do that? Being together with one person every single day gets too tiresome after a while. Besides, I promised Pops that I'll only agree to be with a man who's strong enough to be beat me in combat. So far, it's only His Highness who had been able to beat me. But he doesn't count. 'Besides... I'm no pedophile...
Kyle: *chokes on laughter* Oh, glad to hear you're not like Nash.
Miakis: Who?
Kyle: Some blond guy not me who was rumored to be really into young girls like LYON when he's way older than me?
Miakis: *eyes bug out* Lyon? *crosses arms* That won't do! That won't do at all!
Kyle: I know! That totally freaked me out when I heard about it!
Miakis: *makes a determined fist* Besides, Lyon only belongs to His Highness! Eventhough she's too dense to notice it yet...
Kyle: *sigh* Tell me about it. Don't you just want to smash their heads together?
Miakis: Of course the problem is, His Highness is as equally dense as Lyon... not to mention missing.
Kyle: He has to be back in time. If he was here, he'd have showed up by now. Anyway, I gotta go. I have to buy lunch for Bern since she's on vacation. *goofy smile* I love her idea of a vacation.
Miakis: *rolls eyes* Seeing you behave like this is rather disgusting... *impish grin* But as long as you're happy, whatever floats your boat.
Kyle: *soft* I love this girl. It's just...weird for me. But I really think I CAN be with just her. Maybe that's the point of love.
Miakis: *salutes him* Well, just make sure you make her happy. Admiral Egan doesn't look like the type of guy who would tolerate any misbehaviour towards his daughter.
Kyle: Oh hell no. He'd break me in half if I messed her up. *wince* I'm going to be so good. Later, Miakis!
Miakis:*raises hand* Yo!
