"If I can't move the heavens above, I will move Hell"
Sah was not happy. He was confused, in a foreign place, and in a foreign body. And for the love of Mune he was still cold even wearing the stranger's borrowed Parka. And did he mention that his magic was for reasons beyond his comprehension as weak as a pup's? He trudged after Noah silently, a scowl on his face. The scowl melted away however as the Citadel came into view. A settlement, a humanoid settlement. Logically, he knew he needed to go there to survive in this world but Sah despised being in crowded places. However as the walked into town, his eyes widened with wonder. The buildings were unlike anything he'd ever seen, almost ethereal as they were encased in snow and ice. The diversity of people and animals walking past were also a new sight. Sah wondered how many of the creatures were actually shifters. When a group of dogs walked by, Sah watched wistfully as something in his chest ached. He missed his pack. Sah shook his head slightly to dismiss his melancholy. "Where are we going exactly?" He inquired, trying to distract himself. sah

NOAH
Noah walked in silence as he led the stranger towards the Citadel. He moved with purpose across the Tundra, knowing that getting him to safety and warmth was of the utmost importance. Once they crossed the gates of the Citadel, Noah shifted back to his human form from his lynx form. He kept silent and waited for Sah to break it with any questions that the stranger might have. Finally, he did, and Noah stopped for a moment to answer.
"This is Halo." the hunter gestured to all of the Citadel. It's people, its animals, its buildings. "More specifically, this is the citadel. This is where all Halovian citizens reside. This is the only place of safety and warmth in the region. I suggest getting some warmer clothes to get you set up." He started walking again, this time towards the stretch of shops. From one brightly lit building one could see hundreds of garments and furs hanging around. Noah entered the shop. He was greeted by a small, hardy woman with a high-pitched, excited voice. "NOAH! Oh dear, how are ya? You look healthy. What can I do for ya!?" she exclaimed, all but pinching the hunter's cheek. He smiled at her, broadly. "Found this newcomer on the mountain. He could use a Halo-worthy wardrobe." will you hold the line when every one of them has given up and given in the Wild Thunder

NOAH
Noah and the woman turned towards Sah, the look of confusion mirrored in each of their faced. "Uh, clothes?" Noah responded, unsure really how else to explain what a wardrobe was. 'Damn Noah what are ya pickin up in the mountains these days? Damn kid doesn't even know what fuckin' clothes are.' the woman grumbled and laughed with disbelief. Nonetheless, she shuffled away.
Noah turned to Sah again, lowering his voice. "Did your people wear clothes where you come from?" The hunter asked, a little unsure. In Halo, nudism was not going to work out in this poor man's favor. The ice took no prisoners and frostbite held no mercy -- there wouldn't be saving anything precious without the protection that furs and leather and cloth offered. will you hold the line when every one of them has given up and given in the Wild Thunder

NOAH
Noah was thankful they were alone in this shop, the two of them and the shopkeeper, because if there were any onlookers they would most definitely think that Sah was crazy. Within a few moments, the shopkeep returned with a pile of clothes and a thick coat made from ursur hide and wool. Here ya are, darlin. This'll all do fine for ya. She said as she handed Sah the clothes. The woman looked to Noah expectantly, and he leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. "You'll get some extra hare next week with your normal delivery." He promised her. She laughed and slapped at his chest some. She turned her head to walk away and shooed the two men away with a flick of her wrist.
"Halo is in Caido. I've never heard of Lunaria, nor the goddess you spoke of." Noah's eyes softened some as he looked on the man now. He was so lost. It was apparent, and Noah feared he was never going to get back to the place he was from. None of the others had, or could. It was almost pity that softened his features now.

NOAH
While Noah did not understand the transition and devastation of moving worlds -- especially without choice -- he did understand devastation in it's general form. As Sah sunk down into the snow, Noah knelt next to him. He placed the clothes given to them next to the man. His features were soft and gentle at this point, the distance he had held the man at emotionally closed. "I'm sorry." He said, reaching out for Sah's shoulder. Should the man let him, he would offer a reassuring squeeze.
"You could try to convene with one of our gods here. They could offer you some insight, if they have it..." He trailed off for a second. He was sure that the gods could give him some comfort, but part of him wondered if they might tell him, rather, to embrace the life he had been given now. "Lean on that thankfulness. If you're alive now, in this world, there must be a reason why. You just have to find it." will you hold the line when every one of them has given up and given in the Wild Thunder

NOAH
Noah listened to Sah as he spoke. He kept his arm extended and his hand on his shoulder, continuing to let the action ground the outlander. His thoughts and worries all made sense, and there was no room for Noah to tell him otherwise. In truth, Noah wasn't sure their gods would even give him comfort -- it had merely been a suggestion, a thought of a man who was trying to live a life more in tune with the gods in general. "It is possible that they give you comfort, but I do also know that gods are jealous beings by nature. Maybe, if you stay devout to your homeworld goddess, visiting our gods is not the best option for you." Especially, Noah thought, as an abandoned. Perhaps the gods had already shown Sah their lack of favor for him. These thoughts, however, Noah kept to himself.
Noah sighed some, letting his hand finally fall from Sah's shoulder and rest on his knee as he crouched before the newcomer. "Maybe the right answer is deciding and finding and working your own purpose." will you hold the line when every one of them has given up and given in the Wild Thunder

NOAH
For a man going through such transition and grief, he seemed to be trusting Noah at his word. He thought that was probably best, rather than letting himself spiral down into an existential crisis. While the hunter knew this probably would not be the last of Sah's emotions towards this, at least for now he seemed ready to move on and get settled into his new world. "I can show you some houses that are currently unoccupied. Shelter, clothes, and food. We can get you some food on the way." Noah stood and gestured towards the clothes he had gotten for Sah. "Take those with."
The hunter turned then and moved through Snowcloak with ease. He stopped at a few booths and shops here and there and loaded Sah's arms with more things--a basket of fresh baked rolls, a few pounds of cured and dried meats, and a jug of fermented tea that would do him well. Noah sent for some firewood to be taken to the house they would eventually land in. Finally, they arrived at the house. It was small and modest, but had been empty for quite some time. Noah entered through the door, and was welcomed with warmth. A fire had already been started in the hearth by the pair of teenage boys that Noah had set out to deliver firewood. Turning to Sah, he nodded. "You can call this yours now, if you like." will you hold the line when every one of them has given up and given in the Wild Thunder

NOAH
Noah watched for Sah's reaction as he told the once-wolf that he could not own this home. "If you'd like it to be, it can be yours for as long as you'd like." It had been since Noah's childhood that anyone had occupied this house, and when they had it had just been a young man named Joseph. He had died of some disease, unknown to the healers here and untouchable by their magic. It had been sad and tragic, for he was so young, but Noah did not hold on to any of those emotions. He had been too young to know it as anything else but mere fact of life.
Noah shook his head and smiled broadly at Sah once more. "You don't owe me anything. This is my job here in Halo -- I am what's known as the Chief of Public Affairs. It means I help the people." He shrugged his shoulders a little, and with genuine eyes he looked at Sah again, "In truth, I'd do this for you even if it wasn't my job." The cold man that he had been on the mountain seemed to melt -- but the cold, quick words had only been spurred on by worry for his wellbeing. Noah turned then and gestured towards the fireplace, roaring with the fire the boys had built. "That booth we stopped by and I sent the boys here to build this fire is constantly stocked. You can go there to get more wood for your fires as you run low -- but don't ever let yourself run out. They're good people there and won't let you freeze, but they never forget a debt. Eventually you will have to pay it back, but don't let the worry of not having anything to trade then and there stop you." He knelt down and pointed at the fire. "You don't ever want this to go out. Not here. Keep stoking it and stocking it -- do you know how to manage a fire?" will you hold the line when every one of them has given up and given in | ||||||
