~Mount Eskel~ discussion

((Paths that lead through the village.))

Eris flew along the path, then stopped. she looked behind her for Tryon

Tryon pouted, catching up with her. "No fair. You cheater. Picking on some poor Lowlander."

she laughed. "i didn't cheat! i won fair and square." she said.

"You cheated! You probably used magic and made the air thinner for me!"

"magic?" she scoffed. "you just need practice!" she said grinning.

"I can run," Tryon pouted. "I'd beat you in the Lowlands anyday."

"yeah, but i can beat you in the mountains. so its all even!" she replied.

"Hmph," Tryon folded his arms. "I can beat you at anything. You just cheat."

"oh stop being such a boy." she snapped.

"A boy? I am not a boy. I happen to be a man. A very manly, incredibly handsome man."

"that was an extremely arrogant remark, and you might not be a boy, but you certainly act like it." she snapped

"Fine. Then you're just a girl. An annoying, cheatering girl."

"why thank you." she said, and bowed. she turned away, saying, "cheatering isnt a word." and walked away.

"Maybe not here," Tryon said, following her. "But where I come from, we have lots of words that you mountain people don't know."

"technically, cheatering is grammatically incorrect. the correct word would be cheating." she snapped.

"No. Cheatering is different. Definition, the act of being a cheater. Cheating, the process a cheater goes through."

she rolled her eyes. "then it would be cheater, not cheatering." she snapped. then stomped away.

"You're just too proud to admit that I'm right!" Tryon called after her, staying put.

she humphed, and rolled her eyes.

Tryon nodded, then started to walk to his house.

Lily shut the door to her house and went down the steps. She swung her basket as she walked through the village. "Hullo, Sam!" Lily called to her father's good friend. Sam looked up and smiled at her.
Lily was really sweet and had great faith. Almost every grown up adored her.
"Lillian!" He said, grinning. He walked over. "Hullo," Lily said with a shy smile. "How's your father doing?" He asked. Lily bit her bottom lip. "H-He's alright. I mean... he still can't talk or stand... or sit up... but, he's fine. He's getting alittle better with the medicene that the doctor gave him... but we'll need professinal care." Lily said. Sam nodded. "Ahh..." He said. "Umm... I should get going. I need to work." Lily said. Sam nodded. "Alright. Good bye, Lillian! Be safe!" Sam called. "Good bye, Sam!" Lily said, waving.

Laurel walked along the paths, done feeding her goats, and spotted Lily. She smiled and walked over to her. "H-hello," she said quietly.

Lily looked at Laurel and smiled. She looks about the same age that I am. Mabey... should I have her be my friend? I don't have any so it... it should be a thought, I guess. Lily decided in her head easly. "Hullo." She said with glittering eyes of happyness. "Erm... I'm Lillian." Lily said, holding out her free hand from the other with a basket in hand. "You can call me Lily if you'd like." Lily added.

Laurel smiled and shook her hand. "I'm Laurel."

Lily smiled brighter. "Nice to meet you, Laurel. If you don't mind me asking at all, how old are you?" Lily asked.

"I'm fourteen," Laurel replied, tilting her head. "You?"

"I'm fourteen also!" Lily said happily. Then she glanced at her basket full of foods she should be feeding the horses. "I'm sorry, but I really must be going. I have many chores to do." Lily apologized.

Laurel smiled and nodded. "Ah, of course. Good bye!"

Raychel walked along the path to her house, humming a tune.

"Good bye, Laurel!" Lily called and continued walking.

Aros ran up to Raychel. "Hey, Raych." he said, grinning.

Kirsten walked silently.She rarely talked.She looked around looking for something to do.

Lily saw Kirsten walking silently. She desided to say a quick hello. "Hullo!" Lily said, waving.

Raychel grinned. "Hey Aros, what are you doing?"

"Lookin' for my favourite girl." Aros said, putting his arms around Raychel.

Kirsten smiled shyly and nodded.

Lily smiled back and continued walking.

Caelan walked along a path, hands in his pockets, looking at the villagers shyly.

Lauren glanced over at Caelan with a small smile on her face.

Caelan glanced back at the girl smiling and gave a nod, a hint of a smile touching his lips.

((Whoops, Laurel, not Lauren. :) ))

Laurel nodded, acknowledging him, and walked slowly on the path.

He stopped at the corner where the path he was on met the main path.

Laurel coincidentally walked right behind him. "Oh, excuse me," she said quietly, stepping around him to the main path.

"Oh, sorry," Caelan said, stepping closer to the building behind him.

"I've got to go, Aros. I have things to do, unlike you, apparently." Raychel said, smiling. Aros pouted, and she patted his shoulder affectionately before walking away.

Laurel flashed him a small smile. "No, you're fine." She dipped her head in a small nod and continued on the path.

"Have a good day," Caelan called after her.

Laurel turned her head, smiled again, and nodded. "You, as well!" she called over her shoulder.

He gave a small wave, then resumed to lean against the house on the corner.
