EVENT | LANDFALL | VALISHAERA

[ironwood]

Characters: ALL!
Date: JULY 13-26
Location: Valishaera
Situation: Tu Vishan has made landfall on Siaxhi, to explore the Dreaming Watch City of Valishaera.
Warnings/Rating: Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.

As Tu Vishan draws near, the heavy jungle visible even from miles out quickly identifies the landmass as Siaxhi, one of the westernmost continents in Konryu and one that has been largely untouched insofar as the kedan themselves have gone. There is a natural inlet along the southeast shore on the continent and Tu Vishan makes for that, though he fills nearly all of it.

Hawke only barely hears what she says. "What can't be?" He follows her gaze and spots another strange creature though he's unsure of its significance. What he does notice is Notch creeping behind it. The hound is obviously interested in the small bear-like thing even if he hasn't got a clue what it is.

It makes Hawke roll his eyes. "Oh Maker what's he after this time..."

[alterer]

Nilin creeps forward a little more, careful to get out of range of the deer creature they'd been stalking a moment before. Once she's clear, she stands straight, moving quickly but quietly towards Notch and the bear.

"It's Jax," Nilin answers, amazement clear in her voice. "He's mine. From back home- How is that even possible?"

[iwannabeadragon]

Hawke follows her, his interest lost on the deer. Now he's much more interested in this little bear thing that apparently she knows. She continues to be completely full of surprises.

"You're asking that in this place? I just say it's all magic and go about my day," Hawke responds though he knows the question was rhetorical. Notch continues to creep closer to Jax and begins pawing at it once he's close enough. One can almost see the gears in the hound's head spinning as he tries to figure out what it is.

[alterer]

"Magic doesn't exist where I'm from," Nilin answers, voice low and distracted. She's listening to him, but she's still trying to puzzle this one out otherwise.

"Jax!" It's worth a shot. Nilin calls to the bear, knowing that if it's not her Jax, it wouldn't react as hers would. Only the bear comes to a halt, turning to face her. Idly it reaches a hand up to pet Notch on the nose before starting towards Nilin and Hawke, arms outstretched as it goes.

[iwannabeadragon]

"I'm not sure if I should pity you or envy you," Hawke replies with a small chuckle.

Then Hawke quiets and just watches. Notch sneezes at Jax's touch, then looks up as he finally notices the both of them. Hawke gives a short whistle calling Notch back to his side. The dog trots to him obediently but still watches Jax curiously. Hawke on the other hand, watches Nilin.

"I don't know. That seems pretty magical to me."

[alterer]

"He's an AI, a robot," she starts, pausing at the realization that he might not know what any of that is. "A... mechanical creature made by man. He's very smart."

There's affection in her tone. Nilin really loves that panda. She shoots Hawke a smile and starts towards Jax, scooping the bear up when she gets to him. "Jax, I can't believe you're here..."

The panda responds by throwing its arms up in victory before giving her a hug. Nilin can't stop a laugh. When she looks to Hawke again, that smile is a lot broader.

[iwannabeadragon]

She's right of course. Hawke has no idea what an AI or robot might be. He's not even sure if he understands what she means by mechanical creature, but he at least thinks he does. "A tiny bear golem, just when I start thinking I've seen everything..."

Nilin's reaction is, well, it's adorable really. He's never seen her react quite like this to anything. Hawke enjoys seeing her like this, but what he likes most is seeing how wide her smile gets.

"Well, that's adorable."

[alterer]

"He was my best friend as a child."

Her only friend for far too long. Nilin holds the panda in her arms. The creature turns to face Hawke and look up at him. "Hawke, this is Jax. Jax, Hawke."

[iwannabeadragon]

Hawke knows that feeling all too well. For the longest time Notch was Hawke's closest friend. There were his siblings of course, but he was always their big brother. Not to mention that when he was younger, Hawke didn't exactly get along with them.

Watching her interact with Jax brings an even wider smile to Hawke's face. He's never seen this side of her before. If he's honest with himself, he hopes to see it much more.

"It's a pleasure," Hawke says smiling wide. Beside him Notch woofs softly. He looks down to see the dog looking at him expectantly. It makes him chuckle. "And you've already met Notch."
