[RPG] [SEI][Taselak] Tales of Lek & Sennianus: One too many Surprises

[Kel]

Roleplay from Sennianus the Mad

All along his walk to Leks camp, Sennianus had a bad feeling. It seemed 
bad omens were all around him, each one warning him of something ahead. 
A cloud moving before the moon, the shadows of trees appearing to lock 
swords, the howling of the wolves in the distance... Dark thoughts raced 
through Sennianus' head. Again, he saw the dark version of himself. His 
mouth formed words, but Sennianus could not hear them.

As he walked past the sentries, the expressions on their faces unsettled 
Sennianus. They seemed afraid. Afraid of things to come. One of them 
clenched his fists when Sennianus crossed him. Before he realised it, 
Sennianus imagined himself stabbing the soldier in the gut. The thought 
scared him. What the hell is happening to me? He finally reached Lek’s 
tent. When the guard spotted him, the lad cringed. Kill him! Sennianus 
flinched. He rubbed his eyes and tried to get himself together.

"I'm here to see Lek.", he said.

The guard swallowed, but did not reply.

"I said, I'm here to see Lek! Are you deaf, boy?", Sennianus said with 
loud voice, and he grabbed the guard by the collar. Then, he heared 
muffled voices inside the tent. Kill them! Think about your honor! With 
a mesmerized look on his face, Sennianus released the guard and went 
inside. There she was...

Roleplay from Lek

Silas was sweet, Lek thought. He was barely older than her baby sister, 
and though he didn't say (boys seldom do), she was certain he'd never 
been with a woman before. She could tell, now that they were resting, 
that he wasn't certain if he should put his arm around her or leap from 
the pallet to stand at attention. "Relax, me boyo," she said, slipping 
under his arm, "Tell me about your family." Silas was talking about his 
family and their farm when the tent flap rustled. Lek turned her head 
towards the sound, wondering...

Yes, by the gods above, it was Sennianus. That man was so 
exasperating--but she was too glad to see him to be completely angry. 
She sat fully up and grinned at him, "Senninaus, you idiot, can't you 
ever send word that you're coming? I would have put off my training 
session." She gestured towards Silas.

For a moment, Sennianus stood there silently; his lips worked, but she 
caught no words. Then he made a horrible sound that was something like a 
battle cry and something like a howl of despair and drew his sword. He 
started to move toward her, but slowly, shuffling--and his face...She'd 
never seen such...agony? Anger? Looking at him hurt her.

Lek scrambled to her feet, as naked as he was, but with her sword--his 
sword--across the tent.

"Sennianus! Are you wounded?...Senninaus! By all that's holy, what are 
you doing? Are you mad?"
