~Turning to Wolf, Rhi grins.~
"You sleep outside, don't you?"

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:00 pm

~Wolf grins.~
"I can if I want to"
~Grins evily.~
"...or do you want me to sleep elsewhere?"

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:03 pm

~Rhi pats his shoulders, then steps up the pace, forcing him to walk faster.~
"Just don't track in any mud. You have to come inside some time."

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:04 pm

~Wolf laughs.~
"Okay. Okay."
~...and walks faster. Wolf makes sure to clean shoes before stepping in.~

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:06 pm

~Rhi trips on the doorframe.~

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:07 pm

~Wolf catches Rhi with unbelievable speed.~
"Are you okay?"

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:09 pm

~Rhi frowns, forcing Wolf to realize that that was a test.~
"If I were any enemy of yours, you would be dead by now. You need to recognize when such things are intended."

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:10 pm

~Wolf frowns.~
"That was cheap."
~Drops Rhi on floor.~
"You know, you should have told me when you were going to start these. Anyways, can you point me to where the General's Quarters are?"

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:18 pm

~Rhi gets up.~
"We don't have enough time to lollygag around, Wolf. I need to get you up to snuff. Now."
~She starts off up the stairs.~
"Come!"
~The order echoes back at him.~

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:20 pm

~Wolf follows, wary of any other tricks.~
"So, where are you taking me now?"

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:22 pm

~Rhi stops at the head of the stairs, gasping for breath. She leans against the walk, seemingly overcome with pain.~

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:25 pm

~Wolf, instantly at guard, has Rhi so he's holding her wrists and has his leg in front of hers.~
"So, how'd I do this time?"

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:28 pm

~Rhi's eyes begin to glow a shade of white so brilliant it makes Wolf flinch. She screams in pain, falling against him as images assualt her mind.~

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:29 pm

~Wolf stands steady, holding her there.~
"You're not gonna fool me, Rhi"
~Wolf thinks if she were really in trouble, someone else would come.~

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:32 pm

~A priestess runs up.~
"The Oracle! She is having a vision, no?"

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:34 pm

~Wolf stays.~
"No, she's training me. Helluva job interview."
~Looks at Rhi Questioningly.~

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:37 pm

~As another scream tears from Rhi's throat, more priests and priestesses come to the source of the commotion. The first to arrive tuts quietly.~
"Hand her to me, Wolf. She is having a vision. It is impossible for her to fake that sort of pain."

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:40 pm

~Wolf stands there, thinking about it, then roars long and loud, scaring the priestess before running over and placing Rhi on a bed and sitting almost on top of her to hold her down~
"This must look really bad..."
~Looks at the Priestess.~
"Do your thing. Ignore me."

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:42 pm

~The Priestess begins to laugh.~
"You are funny, Wolf. You are doing a fine job."
~They all begin to laugh as they walk away.~

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:44 pm

~Wolf looks semi-confused and looks back at Rhi.~
"Man, I'm Confused."
~Wolf puts his head on his shoulder, wiping sweat away.~
"Rhi, you can give up now. I'm gonna sit here all night."

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:47 pm

~The screaming would last for hours. Wolf wouldn't get any sleep this night. He was beginning to see why the Preists and Priestesses had so gladly given him their job.~

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:49 pm

~Wolf sits there thinking.~
"Will you ever snap out of it?"
~Wolf starts getting very mad. Wolf looks at her.~
"Maybe this will help."
~Wolf howls with all his might, so the people on the outskirts of Aradni hear.~

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:53 pm

~Rhi's screams continue until dawn, growing progressively weaker, until they are silent, her voice lost to pain.~

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:56 pm

~Wolf sits there. holding her there. He looks down at her.~
"At least the screaming stopped."
~Wolf is now feeling sad, but keeping grip. He then looks around.~
"This must Seriously look bad."

Subject: Re: Testing the New Grand General Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:59 pm

~Rhi's eyes flutter open, once again the gentle white of snow, rather than the harsh glare of a distant star.~
"Wolf?"
~She croaks softly.~
"Wine. Bloodwine."
