SURVIVE 4 — Land of Savages • [DAY 3 | Early Night | In the Squall]
<< < (26/59) > >>
SWAT One:
The guards continue to approach Douzheng and stop in front of him. They neither seem threatened nor are trying to size up. They begin asking him questions in a language he doesn't understand.


"I won't be going, but my captain of the guard, Ikhannuk, will be leading the party. As for where you stay, it will have to be here. technically, our law for when foreigners violate our laws and customs requires the minimum punishment of placing them under house arrest until the house's head considers the matter resolved. As long as you don't cause more trouble or try to run off, you're still an honored guest in my eyes. You settle the matter with Adina and salvage the wreck tomorrow, and we're square."

Eetu picks up a book and heads toward the door, waving for Theric to follow.

"As for me, I ned to do some work before I go."

He opens the door. A young male servant is standing just outside.
Juncoph:
Douzheng makes it clear with body language that he has no idea what they're saying. He then states "water" inquisitively, stating it three times- first in Romano-Hellenic, then in Sino-Tibetan, and, less fluently, in proto-Armenian.

SWAT One:
The guards only look at Douzheng strangely and talk amongst themselves. One of them says something to a villager, who goes into the house near to him and offers him a piece of bread.
Juncoph:
Not wanting to offend, Douzheng gesticulates his rejection of the bread modestly. He points at it, says "bread" in his languages, before repeating his earlier request. This time, he puts his hands together and pantomimes the act of drinking water from a lake.

Rising from his seat as he's motioned, Theric bobs his head. "House arrest is fine for me, honestly. Waking up on a beach, all soaked made me appreciate the indoors a whole lot more."

"If I can help it, I will behave myself as best I can. But all things considered, part of me is worried if I did anything else bad while I was drink." With mention of the situation with the elders daughter, there's a pinching of the bridge of his nose. Theric nods, his hand coming over to rub the back of his neck. "I'll speak to her as soon as I get the chance. Do you have any suggestions on how I should approach her, or...?"

The entire situation is making Theric weary. This sort of drama always manages to get under his skin- but he's making an effort to not let it show on his face.
