Kuroyhyou and Trystrem

Roleplay from Kurohyou

Kurohyou was on his way to the local tavern to see if his men had went there. It seemed they thought it was funny to try and hog-tie their commander and leave him in the stables, but luckily he woke up in time to catch them in the act.

"Damn, if only Aethelmaer were here, he would've loved to see that one...Hehe"

And as he walked through the door of the tavern, Kuro looked over to the bar and saw that Trystrem was there. So he made his approach, and saw that Trystrem had a raven on his shoulder.

"Well looks like you've made yourself a new friend there, eh Trystrem?"

They shook hands and Kuro ordered his usual drink.

"Man, you had me worried there, Trystrem. I heard in the reports that you were captured a second time in Ikkie?"

"Ah, yes, the report was correct. I was just walking down the alleyways like I normally do, when a dog spotted me, and alerted the guards. Sitting in that prison though was very nerve-racking. Having to sit there and think I was going to die. Luckily, this little guy, Shadow, had found me and fed me worms while I was in there."

Trystrem ordered another ale, and sat back. Remembering his brother Aethelmaer, and realized he was talking to his best friend. Tears started to well in his eyes, that Kurohyou and Aethelmaer used to sit like this and talk all the time.

"You knew Aethelmaer well, right? Tell me about him, would you? I never really got a chance to know my brother too well, with all of our constant arguements."

Kuro noticed the tears of sorrow that Trystrem was holding back.

"Yes, I did know your brother very well. He was a great man to have as a brother. Even though our realm was on the path to destruction, we both stayed alongside one another and hoped to see that we got through.

Kuro actually laughed when a thought came into his head.

"Hehe...I remembered when me and him went on our adventure in Tara to destroy Herutenshi. That was probably the best time we had, unless you count the Ser'quea tournament. I think that everyone, even his new realm mates, got a kick out of that one."

Even though he was trying to bring up happy memories, just looking at Trystrem sitting there with him talking over a glass of ale..it still brought up the reality that he was gone.

"Barkeep...another round of ale over here...NOW!!!"

Kuro then looked back at Trystrem and asked what he remembered of his brother, although that probably wasn't the best thing...

Letter from Trystrem

Hearing of all the good times they've had, made him even more saddened. If he could only change a few things way back when.

"Well, all I can remember was back when we were still children. He always wanted to train. Grim helped him all the time, until Guenevere arrived. Then the two were inseperable."

Trystrem takes another sip of his ale, mumbling a few words under his breath.

"Everytime we saw each other it was like a whole new battle had started in a neverending war. It always ended with each of us calling each other names, and stomping off."

Trystrem could recall the vague memory of one of their 'battles'.

"I would call him a dirty arseface, and he would reply back with sneaky backstabber."

Thinking closely, he brought out a burst of happiness.

"It seems both have come true, I am just a simple infiltrator, stabbing backs, and he had certainly become a dirty arseface by what happened at the tourney in ASI."

Then his face quickly lost its happiness, as he remembered the final memory of his brother.

"Then the last thing I remember, is when I tried to kill him. Grim had caught me, and together with Aethelmaer, caught me. I was thrown out of the house then. Now, I feel horrible knowing he turned out to be a very honorable noble, and I'm just a lowly saboteur."

Trystrem finished off his ale, and sat there, thinking things over, and contemplating whether or not he should end his life to get to know his brother better in the afterlife.

"Guenevere? Aethelmaer never mentioned about her before...what is she like?"

It was yet another vague attempt to try and get Trystrem's mind off of Aethelmaer and all the sorrow that came with him.

Roleplay from Trystrem

"Ah, Guenevere! I'm surprised Aethelmaer never told you about her. She was always so energetic, and loved Aethelmaer to bits. She was beautiful, her hair was a gorgeous tanish/blonde that flowed."

Trystrem stared off for a bit, thinking of her. Taking a sip of his new ale, he came back to the present.

"She was always attached to Aethelmaer, like two peas in a pod. You couldn't get them apart. I was always jealous, she never paid any attention to me. And if she did, it was to smack me for hurting Aethelmaer."

Trystrem looked over at Kurohyou, he seemed to be dreamy eyed, so he decided to leave him alone for the moment, let him bask in his thoughts about Guenevere.
