The Long Road to Recovery.

((Open RP people.))

Mar, a still young man in his early twenties, had only recently came to Gobiath.
Having escaped from a what would be his destiny, a life of slavery and pain.
He had worked for about all his life, having been taken from his hometown by a band of brigards at early age, brigards who then sold him to a rich slave-owner.
Being set to work for him at the age of 8 he had accuired quite much strength, as the work he was forced to do required it dearly.
But that is not the current story unfolding.
((Will write it down another time.))

Mar entered Trollsbane some time back now, having only really 'met' the elfess named Kaila so far.
Others seemed to grant him no look, no ear.

He was still immensely uncertain about the world, when would another cruel master pick him up and exploit him? When would the so called bonelord come to punish him for his escape? It would just be a matter of time he thought, but there had to be something that could be done, no? There had to be...

He sat there lonely, somewhat frightenedly under a tree next to the well outside the Seahorse inn, holding a small wooden pendant, with two symbols to identify for those who knew. One symbol of Sirani, and one Symbol of Zhambra on the other side. But this was, right now not really to be seen, as he kept it close to him, and hidden from others in his hands, though perhaps a small glimpse could be caught now and then.

His expression was far from calm, it was both thoughtfull, and frightened.
The second emotion stated was as it is most of the time with him the more dominant one.

Quickly gazing to any whom would pass by, facing him or not, looking to them always, examining their moves, examining if they could mean him harm.

Hoping that right now, noone would enclose on him, but it would be inevitable...

Out of the corner of her eye while walking toward the north gate to buy a portal, Kaila sees something near the well and stops abruptly. Spying Mar cowering, almost invisible near the well while smiling reassuringly to him, she talks to him in a calming voice, "Hello Mar, I have missed seeing you, how have you been?". Reaching into her bag Kaila tosses him some more sausages being careful not to get too close and frighten him into running again.

Mark looked up, offering the kind elfess a frail smile, seeming not as frightened about her now as the last time they met, but still on his guard.
Keeping his eyes closely onto her, watching her every move and keeping some options free to escape, ready to scoot off as always.

He spoke softly, hoping not to catch any other attention.
"H.. hello m.. miss Kaila... I.. I've been... okay.. I would guess..."

He slowly reached for the sausages, still not taking his look off her, pulling them nearer to him. He kept a small smile, but quickly shot his gaze down to the ground as he accidentaly dropped the pendant he was holding, his hands scooting to cover it, and pull it back at high speed, though still leaving time for someone to spot it.

He looked up to Kaila, now again more frightenedly, as if she would dissaprove of the small wooden pendant.

Pulling the pendant close against himself inside his enclosed fist, leaving the sausages be.
Crawling back lightly, awaiting her reply...

Suddenly the gate opens, with the wooden door slamming hard against the wall of the tower. A man walks or stumbles out, cursing quietly to himself. The man appears to be in his early thirties, with a thick brown hair and green eyes.

He walks forward, waving distinctively from side to side and ocasionally taking a large sip from the bottle of wine he is holding in his hand.

A playful grin appears on his lips as his eyes finally spot Kaila."Greetings there, pretty one..", he says with an amused voice. Apparently he doesn't notice Mar at all yet.

Briefly spotting the pendant on the ground, a puzzled look crosses her face as she looks into Mar's eyes. With the banging of the gate, seeing Edward stagger in, her curious look turns to a grin as she watches him saunter up the road answering his greeting with ears slightly pink "Greetings Edward, may I introduce Mar?"

Mar had rather hurridly crawled back a bit, as for him it might not have been a coincidence that just then the man came up, perhaps he was here to punish him..

But a little faith returned to his heart as Kaila spoke, she wouldn't speak to a bad man, would she? He didn't think so, but he was now very much upto guard again. He nodded only a soft hello, looking down to the ground somewhat instinctively, but very quickly after looking back up at the man... and Kaila.

He was quite unsure... but he wouldn't run yet... Kaila was nice... right?
However, he did very quickly push the pendant back into a pocket, one inside his thin, old and somewhat torn leather shirt, the pendant now resting close by his heart...
