From FiranMUX

Zeysani and Banik - Gone Fishin!

Summary: Zeysani wakes up early in the morning and goes to pray at the Temple of Zin. While there, she runs into Banik, who was in the middle of getting a courier to go find Zeysani and invite her to a brunch. The log wasn't able to be recovered, and basically the two starting to speak about family, the log picks up in the market place.

Anarinuell: Civic-Center Square

Banik is squeezing your hand, as you walk arm in arm towards the market. You have been discussing his ambitions, and your brother's relationship with Ibania, who Banik refers to as "Ibby" . You approach from the Temple of Zin, where you met just as he was preparing to call you for a lunch. {Firan}

Zeysani walks along with you and says, "How well do you know my brother?" {Excellent Firan}

Banik grins in a dimplish and mature way, and says delighted, "Nyds is one of my favorite nobles. He is nice and doesn't look down at me, listens to what I have to say. He and I are going to take a fishing venture on a ship soon." {Firan}

Zeysani raises her eyebrows and says, "A.. fishing adventure? To where, and when, may I ask?" {Excellent Firan}

Shara comes in from the north.

Banik smiles and leans in closer to you. "Nyds is going to take me when he gets a chance. Probably just out on the river." {Firan}

Banik and Zeysani was walking into the market, arm in arm.

Shara wonders in from the North, yawning daintily as she moves, she smiles as she sees the two others present in the early morning.

Asala walks in from the west, glancing around towards the stalls mostly.

Asala spots Shara and Zeysani, and the Istabannos boy.

Asala negotiates with a merchant for wool.

Shara moves through the market towards Banik and Zeysani, calling to them when close enough to remain proper, "Good morning!"

Zeysani chuckles to Banik lightly and says, "That's alright then.. Nydiam has been gone far too much lately, but just on the river should be fine." {Excellent Firan}

Asala frowns at the merchant. "What id awp oqbt, you vraf no wool?" {Excellent Bonduin}

A breeze blows across the lands making fires everywhere flicker.

Banik smiles to Shara and tries to behave maturely. "Good morning, mother, this is Lady Zeysani, flower of the Eagle Clan. She worships Zin just as I do." {Excellent Firan}

The merchant snickers "What, woman? Can ye not speak Firan?"

Asala frowns. "You have no wool?" {Firan}

Shara smiles and nods to Zeysani, "Met in the temple did you?" {Excellent Firan}

The merchant nods his bald head "Aye, that's what I be sayin'. No wool, no silk neither." Firan

Asala frowns and sighs slightly.

Zeysani looks at Shara and bobs her head in a light bow, as she is currently holding onto Banik's arm, "We did, Lady Shara.." she smiles at her and asks, "How have you fared this winter?" {Firan}

Banik gives Shara and arm hug and says something.

Banik whispers something to Shara.

Asala negotiates with a merchant for flax.

Asala hands a merchant 54.6 stenis.

A merchant puts the flax where Asala can take them and thanks her for her business.

Shara returns Banik's hug and answers Zeysani as Banik speaks, "I have fared well, and you?" {Firan}

Banik smiles, resumes his place close and snug to Zeysani, smiling.

Asala turns and looks to Shara, pausing and waiting.

Shara nods to Banik, looking at him with curious eyes.

Zeysani nods to Shara and says, "I've been well, but my mother is ill.." she frowns lightly, then says to Shara, "Although it is good that you've been well.. and Banik tells me the rest of your family is also faring well." {Excellent Firan}

Banik just beams at Shara with bright, twinkling eyes, and his cheeks redden for no obvious reason as he listens with rapt attention to the two speak. He does interject, "Very well, my lady. And father is doing a fine job in his endeavors of late." {Firan}

Sarcia comes in from the east. Sarcia is followed by Aldrikos. Sarcia heads south. Aldrikos follows Sarcia.

Zeysani looks at Banik and inquires, "What endeavors are those?" {Firan}

Shara turns he attention back to Zeysani, her brow furrowing in concern a bit, then she glances about as Banik speaks.

Asala circles around slightly, and moves to sit on a bench, the flax in her lap.

Shara turns her head a bit to glance at the movement she caught in her peripheral and smiles, turning back to Banik and Zeysani, "If you would excuse me a moment." {Firan}

Zeysani nods to Shara and says, "Of course." {Firan}

Zeysani looks back at Banik and says, "You were about to say..?" {Excellent Firan}

Shara nods with a smile and turns walking over to Asala, "Good morning Mes!" {Firan}

Banik chuckles and speaks to Zeysani, winking.

Asala blinks and stands, curtseying "Good morning, Lady Istabannos, how are you this day?" {Firan}

Banik whispers in Firan, "Mother and her friends. Always of an unusual sort."

Shara grimaces playfully, "Shara... remember. At any rate, I am fine, and you?"

Zeysani glances over to where Shara is going, and nods her head, her look noncommital as she replies to Banik, "So it appears.." then she smiles at Banik and says, "But that isn't what we were talking about.. you were speaking of your father's endeavors?" {Firan}

Sedrik comes in from the west.

Asala says quietly "Oh, it wouldn't do for me to call you that in public M'Lady...I am well, thank you." {Firan}

Asala spots Sedrik and waves to him.

Zeysani is walking arm in arm with Banik, southwards it appears.

Shara glances to the Flax in Asala's lap, "What might you be making with that?" {Firan}

Sedrik comes chirbling in, something between a walk and a chatter.

Banik leads Zeysani south and east, smiling.

Asala looks at the flax. "Linen cloth...I'd hoped to make wool...or silk, but there's none to be bought in the city." {Firan}

Banik heads south.

Zeysani enters with Banik, walking arm and arm with teh youth, asking him, "You still haven't answered, Banik.." {Excellent Firan}

Dinotra pushes out through one of the doors leading to the kitchen.

Banik grins and says loudly, "A table, Oktik. For two." {Firan}

Oktar Nosharik says, "Right away, M'lord. If you will follow me, it would be my honor to seat you at one of our finest tables!" {Excellent Firan}

Dinotra breezes out into the main room and smiles, glancing around at the patrons.

Zeysani chuckles at Banik, "My question still stands, Banik.." as she walks to the table. {Excellent Firan}

Dinotra pauses at each table as she passes them, making sure this is just right, and that is just right.

Oktar Nosharik says, "Prepare a table for the honorable Judano at once!" {Firan}

Banik chuckles and says to Zeysani, "Well, he does clan leader stuff, I suppose." {Firan}

Dinotra smiles as her gaze rests on Judano "Ah, Clan Leader Judano! Welcome!" {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani chuckles at Banik and says, "Good answer, that." {Excellent Firan}

Judano takes a seat and turns around as quickly as he can upon hearing his name... enlightment takes moments to arrive but finally he smiles and nods. "Thank you." he responds.

Dinotra smiles and presents Judano with a marriage cake. "A special today, on the house." {Excellent Firan}

Dinotra smiles cheerfully "Enjoy, Your Honor!" {Excellent Firan}

Dinotra walks past more tables, comes upon Zeysani and Banik "For you, dear Lord, and beautiful Lady." {Firan}

Dinotra hands you each a marriage cake with a smile and a wink.

Dinotra cheerfully scoots back to the kitchen.

Judano smiles and looks at the cake then scratches his head and shrugs.

Zeysani blinks as Dinotra puts down the cakes and then shrugs and says to Banik, "I've heard the food here is good, so.." {Firan}

Banik chuckles and guides Zeysani gently to a table, holding the chair out for her while giving a bow. "My lady.." {Firan}

Zeysani takes the seat and smiles at Banik, "Thank you, Banik." {Excellent Firan}

A serving girl brings Judano his raspberry wine. Judano drinks 1 raspberry wine.

Banik turns a bright red across his freckled cheeks and takes his own seat. "My lady, you are a vision this day." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani chuckles at Banik, "Thank you for the compliment, but I look no different this day then from any other." {Firan}

Banik smiles and says lightly, "Then every day is cause to rejoice..." He quickly peeks at his menu and asks, "What would my lady care for?" {Firan}

Banik looks at his menu. Zeysani looks at her menu.

Zeysani glances at the menu as well and says, "We already have these cakes.. I don't know what else I could eat at the moment.. " {Excellent Firan}

A young waiter brings Judano his raspberry wine.

Banik smiles and slides his chair a little closer, subtley, before asking, "What is the Veteran's Hall?" {Firan}

Zeysani sets down the menu and says, "Well, it's going to be a place where people, veterans to be exact, can gather to get healing, and take care of war wounds.. it will also try to find apprenticeships for orphans, so they can have a trade in life if their family died in the fighting." she smiles at Banik and says, "As well as help out widows.. it's a rather broad reaching charity." {Firan}

Judano drinks his wine and picks up the deck of cards.. flipping through them quietly..

Zeysani takes up the cake the cook gave her and lightly eats it after speaking.

Zeysani raises her eyebrows after taking a bite from the cake and says, "Oh my.. this is superb!" {Excellent Firan}

Banik grins and says with a pleasant voice, "I would be glad to donate to this charity on behalf of my family." He look at the cake, refraining from wolfing it down, and chuckles. "I shall have to try it then." {Firan}

Zeysani glances at Banik and smiles, "Thank you very much, Banik.." and she takes another bit of her cake, eating it quietly. {Firan}

A serving girl brings Judano his raspberry wine. A courier takes Banik's message and runs off.

Zeysani watches in silence as Banik gets someone to run a message for him.

Banik smiles and offers a slice to Zeysani, having eaten only a nibble himself. "Would my lady like some...?" {Firan}

Judano drinks 1 raspberry wine.

Zeysani shakes her head and says to Banik, "No, thank you.. one is enough.. if it's that good tasting, it can't possibly be good for my health." she grins at Banik. {Excellent Firan}

Banik chuckles and says with a blush, "My lady, your figure is in no danger....you are quite beautiful. I am doing well not to falter more in my speech. Surely you have a wide number of suitors!" {Firan}

Zeysani shakes her head with a chuckle, "None to my knowledge, no. Nor am I particularly endeavoring to find any." {Excellent Firan}

Banik nods slightly, biting his lip in thought. "I know Ibby has endless troubles between Nydiam and Vahlgellan." {Firan}

Zeysani nods her head faintly, "So I would imagine.." raising an eyebrow as she says, "Does Prince Vahlgellan know of these plans?" {Firan}

Banik crinkles his forehead. "Hmm....I dunno. Ibby never told me, and I only know Auntie Sabine is for the arrangment, and Ibby and Nyds are not." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani nods her head, "I can imagine not.." {Excellent Firan}

Banik says, "Do you know how Nyds feels about all this?" {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani shakes her head and says, "I haven't spoken to him on it.. I suppose I'll have to." {Excellent Firan}

Banik chuckles and winks. "You didn't hear it from me. If Ibby hitting me was cruel, what Nyds would do would be...welll..." {Firan}

Zeysani chuckles in return, "Nydiam would do no such thing." {Firan}

Banik mms, standing, and kissing your hand. "Would my lady care to experience a moment in the life of Banik Istabannos?" {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani raises her eyebrows and says, "Alright." {Excellent Firan}

Banik bows and again offers his arm.

Zeysani stands up and takes the offered arm, giving Banik a quizzical look.

Banik walks you out slowly, smiling to himself.

Banik pulls open one of the double doors, the door opening easily on its hinges. Banik walks out, the door closing silently behind him.

Zeysani continues with you, frowning lightly as the enter the pier district

Banik finally brings you to the pier, and kisses your hand, murmuring, "Forive my lady if this place offends you. I wanted to show you one of my hobbies." {Firan}

Banik takes off his backpack.

Zeysani nods to you and says, "Not so much .. offensive, merely a bit dangerous, I was led to believe." {Excellent Firan}

Banik beams brightly as he opens his backpack. "Dangerous? You have as good an escort as any." {Firan}

Banik pulls out a long pole, and points to the water. "If you are familiar with this hobby, it can be the most relaxing thing in Aerval." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani shakes her head and says, "I don't believe I've.. ever fished."

Banik casts his line.

Banik smiles and yanks back on the line, struggling as he mutters, "Realxing...er, kinda!" {Firan}

Banik pulls a large channel catfish from the water after reeling it in.

Zeysani steps back a bit and says, "Poor fish.." {Firan}

Banik smiles and chuckles brightly, offering you the rod as he holds up his catch. "He's a small brute, but fair enough." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani takes the rod and says, "One try.. is all I'll say.."

Banik cheers. "Yes! You got one!" {Firan}

Banik praised Zeysani!

Zeysani tentatively drops the line into the water, and then lets out a small startled sound and pulls the line from the water, bringing with it an oyster. She regards the shelled fish at the end of her line with large eyes.

Banik leans close to you and says softly, "My lady is a master fisherwoman. Who would have guessed?" {Firan}

Banik chuckles.

Zeysani chuckles a bit and says, "Now, just tell me what it is I have cought, please?" {Firan}

Banik laughs softly and says after a quick glance, "That's an oyster! They taste good when you cook me." {Firan}

Zeysani nods her head and says, "Well, you can have it.. if you'd like.." as she offers you back the pole.

Banik chuckles and whispers with a sly smirk, "My lady would not like to keep it as a pet?" He winks and rolls with laughter. {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani rolls her eyes and chuckles, "No.. I suppose we can.. throw it back.." she moves forward and reaches for the shell, "It doesn't bite, does it?" {Faltering Firan}

Banik chuckles and taps at the oyster. "Well..." he muses, "If my lady wishes, sure! And no," he chuckles, "it doesn't bite." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani picks up the oyster and says, "Well.. -I- don't know what to do with it.." {Firan}

Banik grins and holds out his hand, saying, "You could always pop it in your mouth and eat it." {Firan}

Zeysani drops the oyster into your hand and says, "Raw? Oh, no way.." she makes a light face.

Banik laughs again and pokes your side with a wink. "Too bad, I'm sure they're delicacies somewhere." He tosses it in his backpack and says with another chuckle, "Shall I escort you to your estate, my lady?" {Firan}

Zeysani chuckles, "Please," {Excellent Firan}

Banik chuckles, "Ibby hates that I put them in my backpack." {Firan}

Banik puts on his backpack.

Zeysani chuckles, "it probably makes your backpack smell.. I hope you don't carry clothing in that as well.." {Excellent Firan}

Banik blushes and just hums as he offers his arm.

Zeysani accepts the arm again, "That was rather fun.. when you and Nydiam go, if mother is better, may I accompany you on your fishing trip?" {Faltering 1}

Banik blinks, dumbfounded. "I'm sorry, I didn't understand that." {Firan}

Zeysani frowns lightly and repeats, "That was rather fun.. when you and Nydiam go, if mother is better, may I accompany you on your fishing trip?" {Firan}

Banik smiles and says with bright eyes, "I would love that. You'd catch more than all of us." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani shakes her head with a chuckle, "I doubt that!" as she walks with you {Firan}

Banik flashes a grin and goes on, "Oh yes, you fish well. Maybe one day you can help me fish from my naval vessel....but..awww." He feigns a deep sigh. {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani chuckles and says, "One day.. " {Firan}

Zeysani smiles and says, "It was a lovely breakfast, Banik.. thank you." {Excellent Firan}

Banik smiles as he walks you towards the eagle estate.

Banik says, "Banik looks at you with sad, puppy dog eyes and says with a shrug, "My clan has no navy. Yours does, I think." {Firan}

Zeysani nods her head faintly, "It does.." as she looks at her home, "Give my regards to your family, Banik.." {Excellent Firan}

Banik smiles and kisses your cheek quickly. "Thank you." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani gives you a light hug as you kiss her cheek, "And if you see Nydiam, tell him I caught an oyster." she grins at you and steps back, walking towards her home.' {Firan}

Banik laughs and waves as he departs.
