An unusual reunion (Cynthia)

[Deleted]

" Dont worry, as your big sister ill take it of it" She said with a gleam in her eyes. "Trash can for the mistakes of the gods? Ancient one?" She was shocked for a moment. "How did you get involved with him Selky?" she asked. After selky would explain how he got involved in all of this she would calm down a bit. "I see...I want to speak with him." her entire demeanor changed, her eyes cold and demanding and her face was expressionless. She was very serious and wanted to know what kind of person this master was, she wasn't going to accept Selky serving him if she disliked him or found him insane.

[Selkiris]

Selkiris sighed. "After you left I became a sellsword. On a job I found a mysterious tome. I read from it and this seal was burned into my hand and I was given the option to join him. I had nothing else to lose at the time so I accepted his offer and became his prophet. " Selkiris's eyes widen with surprise when Cynthia said she wanted to meet the Ancient One. "I......don't know if I would reccomend that Cynthia. He comes and goes as he pleases. It's hard to make him appear when you ask. Even I cannot speak to him when I want. He speaks to me when he wants. Normally it's by telekinesis but some times he summons his form into this plane of existence to speak if it is important."

"I see.." She said as she gestured for Selky to let her see his hand. She stared at the mark, looking at the details on the insignia that this 'master'of his left on her precious selky.  "That is a bet wreckless don't you think?" She added to her statement, she didnt want to be mean she just wanted her to understand that this deal of theirs could have had more consequences than he most likely thought. "And why dont you want me to?" she responded to him with a hint of sass in her voice. "Well, if he wanted One devry, why not have two?  I want to understand more of your master Selky, this wont be a subject ill just drop easily." she spoke to her brother with a fierce determination in her eyes. "If you found the deal to be worth it I would want to do it to, besides I want our fates to be the same now. I dont want to be separated from you again... besides now that I dont have a team like I did in Pherana, im gonna need some new magic of my own."

[Selkiris]

Selkiris sighed "Like I said.....I thought you were gone. I had nothing to lose at that point. I thought maybe I could find you with the power he would give me, And it did in a way, my actions brought you to me." He didn't know how to tell her how dangerous the abyss was. The creatures were all twisted and hell bent on destroying everything. She only wanted to protect him but he didn't want her to die or get seriously hurt doing it. "Cynthia.....the abyss is unpredictable. I can't explain it because no mortal can comprehend it. Who knows what might happen if you also become a servant to the Ancient One. Do not take my words out of context Cynthia, I love you and I don't want to be separated either but their are some lines I don't think should be crossed. Then again, I know you and even if I say no your going to do it anyway. To minimize risk I will see what I can do, I will try to speak to my master and get back to you. Just wait. Please don't do anything to drastic for this." Selkiris was pleaded with his sister now. He didn't want her to get into trouble because of this.

[Deleted]

Cynthia sighed along with Selkiris she couldn't rebuttal, he was right. She had no idea what this abyss was capable of. After some silent consideration, She agreed " I suppose your right, you still really know me." she said while. She placed her hand out for selky to grab "I know you love me and i love you too.. speaking of which.." She flashes a glare and grin "i need a place to stay for a while so i was wondering if i could stay with you for a bit~? don't worry ill try not to get you in trouble with my "unique" occupation" she said while showing him her mask. 

After moving on the conversation a bit "So is there a special someone in your life?" she asked earnestly to him. After all she thought Selky was a handsome man after all and besides, she wants some nieces and nephews cause she herself was not getting any younger as well. "I want to be an auntie soon Selky."

[Selkiris]

Selkiris took her hand smiling but then drew her in for a hug. He was a real huggy person when it came to relatives. He didn't really have a place to let her stay though and he thought it would be best just to tell her. "Um......well you see I don't.....really have much to give. Can't really stay in one place with my heretical ideals so I'm more nomadic. I make a shelter where ever night falls. It's much more pleasant than one might think." Selkiris let go of her and dug into his robes, pulling out a canteen of water from inside. He opened the canteen and took a deep drink from it. He didn't really know how to respond to his sister's question. He thought about telling her about Nyx but there were multiple things that caused him to remain silent.

He began to choke on his water as she mentioned wanting to be an aunt. "*cough* That's not *cough* something you just drop on someone Cynthia. There is a few things stopping me from having kids right now. Why don't you try to have some of your own? Surely being a mother would be even better. Or are you trying to avoid the whole raising them part of the equation."

[Deleted]

"Ah I see." she said rolling her eyes at the fact he didn't have a house. "You need to be more sneaky then with your base of operations." She said pointing a finger at her. "Luckily I have a knack for finding such places so don't worry." She said while mentally adding things on her to do list. She had a lot on her plate at the moment, Establishing a name for herself, finding allies, connections, sources. Hell she may even need some muscle, this wasn't Pherana anymore and she needed to remember that.  so she needed people who know this place better then her, Selky was just the start.

As he choked on his water she laughed while placing her hands on her stomach. she knew exactly how to ruffle his feathers still. "Hahaha- You still are really shy under that whole grim demeanor still huh?" she said still laughing out loud." Then he told her to have some kids of her own "Yeah right! why would I want to have kids? What would happen if i got arrested while pregnant? or worse, attacked? This line of work isn't a walk in the park exactly." she told him joking sarcastically. "I'd love to have a little booger running around but I haven't found a man who is really that worth giving up what I love to do yet."

[Selkiris]

Selkiris understood where Cynthia was coming from with this. Being pregnant would cause some serious problems for her. "I completely understand that Cynthia. Things can be dangerous with kids. The possibility of never returning from a job. Who would take care of the kid then? Dangerous world we live in. You and me both know that from experience. Well enough about that. You said you haven't encountered a man worth giving up your job yet. Have you found any that catch your eye though? I gotta know so I can shoo them away." Selkiris laughed. It had been a long time since he had truly laughed.

[Deleted]

"Of course you understand, im no fool" She jested at him however when selky made jokes about a man catching her eye she scoffed at the idea "Pffbt they'd have to be able to keep up with me first." she said while rubbing her nose. That trash can of the gods still lingered in the back of her mind, pestering her. She was uncomfortable with the fact selky went such a horrid path.. even more horrid then her own. She wasnt going to let him do this alone.. however she could save those thoughts for later, as of right now she was very tired. Before yawning, Cynthia took a sip of her wine and began to lean on the table a bit. "Im sleepy selky, lets turn in for the night okay?"

[Selkiris]

Selkiris chuckled, Cynthia hadn't changed one bit. He smiled and walked back to the bar tender. He gave him a sack of Noruvians and the tender pointed to a room in the back and Selkiris went back to Cynthia. "I bought a room for us tonight. Third room on the left."
