Tass -Pt. 39

Submitted by Tahlia Grant on Thu, 04/07/2011 - 15:28

~Hear ye, hear ye ...if you're happy I'm back, thank Kassady. I'd pretty much let this story be forgotten until her comment on the last section...~

Rynere didn't wake up until midday. And that was only because she heard crying.

She pulled herself to a sitting position and forced open her still-tired eyes. Tace was standing in the doorway, supporting on his arm the source of the tears -Sylver.

Tace grinned at Rynere's look of surprise.

"She ran away. Not something I condone, but she was lost and a bit frightened."

Rynere was still not fully awake as she processed the fact that Tace was helping Sylver down onto the floor next to her, and then turning and walking into the kitchen. Rynere instantly heard Kyndran's voice.

"I thought you said you wouldn't be back until Danid was better."

"Did someone say he wasn't?"

Rynere glanced over to Danid's mat. It was empty.

"Who -who are you?" Sylver was looking at Rynere, still sniffling a bit. "Were you at the palace with Tass?"

"You knew him?"

"He's my friend. My only friend! He's the only one who'd ever listen to me -" Sylver broke off sobbing. After a few awkward moments, she recovered enough to ask, "Where is he?"

"He ...he was killed."

"What?" Sylver nearly shrieked. Tace poked his head into the room.

"Is there a problem?"

Sylver was crying again, so Rynere -somewhat hesitantly -answered for her.

"She wanted to know about Tass."

"Ah. Tace was silent for a moment. "Not much I can do about that. See if you can get her to sleep, she needs the rest. Then come in here and we'll see about getting you food."

 

Whatever Sylver's journies had been, they had made her tired enough to fall asleep quickly, and Rynere went into the kitchen.

"We'll have to bring the girl back," Tace said as Rynere took a bite from the bowl of mush mixed with unidentifiable fruit.

"What gives you the right to decide what to do with her?" Kyndran immediately countered.

Tace turned to Rynere curiously.

"Is he always this contrary?"

Rynere shook her head. He hadn't been ...until he had decided to come along with them to wherever they were going.

"You didn't answer my question," Kyndran said flatly.

"Besides the obvious fact that princesses should be under the protection of their family, home, and position? There the fact that she never thought this through. And running away is almost never a good idea, usually because said person who ran away was blinded by emotion. They rarely have a solid reason for it. Any other questions?"

Kyndran glanced once at Rynere and was about to speak again when Tace said, "Rynere, do be a dear and wait outside for Danid. Just bring the dishes back inside when you're done."

As she left, Rynere could hear Kyndran protesting Tace using the word 'dear' with her -even in a joking manner.

"But I wasn't joking."

Rynere couldn't quite discern the tone this was spoken in, but Kyndran seemed to think it perfectly serious. She had no trouble hearing his response.

"If you even think -"

"The girl reminds me of my daughter, who is also a 'dear'."

Rynere heard vague sounds of choking disbelief from Kyndran. Then Tace's voice quite purposefully lowered and she could no longer distinguish words. Far more interested in the conversation than looking out for someone who showed no signs of returning, she stepped back inside the house and closer to the doorway.

"...simply isn't working," Tace was saying. "If you want to even survive, you need to rethink your strategy."

Kyndran was silent for several moments.

"How do I know you're not lying?"

"Have I yet?"

"There nothing saying you won't start now."

"Why would I lie about this?"

"You're trying to cover up some sort of scheme."

Tace didn't reply.

"So there is something," Kyndran said after a few seconds, his tone more dark than surprised.

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"I haven't told you before. Why do you think I'd tell you now?"

"You know that I know there's something going on. There's no point in hiding it."

"I'm not going to. But first, there's someone listening at the door who's not supposed to hear this."

Rynere froze, then quickly stepped out of the house to where she had been before.

Footsteps from inside the house came closer until the person was standing the doorway.

"Oh, you'll find out what's going on eventually. It happens every time."

Rynere crossed her arms and refused to answer.

"Really, when it's over, you'll be grateful that no one told you. It happens every time."

Rynere spun around on her heel. "Why does it have to be me -" she started to say sharply. Then she was suddenly silent. Her mouth opened and closed without a sound escaping her lips.

Tass grinned.

"Miss me?"
