**Torin had just finished with the tour of the barracks, so he decided to lay down on the walltop looking at the North Star. He decided to live here for as long as he could before he had to go back to the holt for some visits. Torin just sat there, thinking. He decided (again) to fall asleep from the lulls of the breeze... he was lonely...**

Mokwa was lonely... Almost. Being a monitor lizard, many a beast was inclined to avoid, if not actively repel, a beast like him. Why this was, he didn't know. All he knew was that his species was not a welcome one in any world. This one would have to do... Even if he kept getting lost.
Not exactly sure where he was within the fort, the monitor decided to stick to the walls and perhaps circle back to the gates, seeing as he could navigate to the barracks from there without much trouble. On the way, however, he encountered an otter... Just laying there. The reason for this was beyond Mokwa and he approached in a rather confused manner. "Er... What are you doing?"

**Torin's eyes were closed.**
Oh... hi. i'm new here and stuff. I'm kinda lonely so I'm kinda fallin' asleep.
**He opened one eye.**
Whoooo! Y...Your a monitor! M..M..My father told me of your kind, dangerous!

Mokwa sighed resignedly. This was why it was hard to talk with the warm-blooded. Always with the stigma... He didn't really blame them. The culture they were raised in, it would be expected that they have some fear of monitors like him. Well, just monitors... Because there weren't that many monitors like him in existence. He looked at Torin with an exhausted look and held his paws out in front of him, facing upwards to demonstrate how empty they were. "I don't want to hurt you or anything like that. If I waz really dangerouz, how could I hafe gotten into the fort thiz far?..."
He paused to let that sink in for a few moments. "Bezidez. I'm only fivteen. ...My name iz Mokwa. What'z yourz?"

**Torin sighed with relief.**
Oh, totally sorry Mokwa! I'm Torin.
**He looked into the monitor's eyes and saw something his father didn't see when on the island of Sampetra. Torin saw genorousity.**

"Nize to meet you, Torin... I don't know that many beaztz here. Juzt a v... Juzt a few." Mokwa was fifteen and still having trouble pronouncing his letter f's. A lack of a formal education didn't help matters. "Only been here a couple days..." And he was carrying a torch just to keep himself warm. What a good idea. He generated no heat of his own so it was a necessity.

I'm new here, too. i didn't meet anybeast in the barracks! If you need a friend, I'm here with you.
**At that point, Torin picked up a dry stick he found on the walltop. he lit it with Mokwa's torch.**
Two torches can make a fire, a fire of friendship. The fire can grow with new torches, or friends.

Mokwa flinched slightly as Torin lit the stick. He relied on fire but was ironically frightened by it. "That, er... Yes. You are right." Like that huge bonfire Linx was running with all those romantic interests of his... That's just impressive.

OOC: See you later.
BIC: "That zounds all tight with me... Hold on. Zit where?" Mokwa looked around and he certainly didn't see anywhere to sit. Nonetheless, he was eager to strike up some conversation. What limited social contact he'd had already had been very stressful, even if beneficial, and this made him pursue this Torin with a seemingly spontaneous passion. "Actually, never mind, I do not care iv... I do not care if we zit or ztand, I juzt want to talk."

"Well... I had parentz, but they died... I mean, my dad went insane and killed my mom and tried to kill me but he stabbed himself..." Mokwa hadn't related this story much. He looked away from Torin uncomfortably as he continued. "I hafe no family here. Or friends or anything, that's why I'm so happy Linx helped me out... He's letting me stay at his place in the barracks..."

I am so sorry about that, Linx is very nice. Your lucky to have at least one friend in Otter's Fort. I got none... I only know you, my father, and Linx. So, when did you come to Otter's Fort?

"Couple days ago. I mean, a week ago, my father was ztill alive... I juzt came here, er, I've always wanted to zo it zeemed a good idea..." And it turned out to be a great one. He had a warm place to stay the night, hot water, food whenever... And Linx.

Post by Dantin 'n' Kade on Feb 7, 2008 11:53:19 GMT -5
*Dantin had been put on wall duty for what seemed the umpteenth time that week. Of course this time he was put on the night shift. Usually those on wall duty didn't carry torches with them so he was a little suprised to see one floating along the wall some distance away. When it stopped moving and a second torch flickered to life beside it so Dantin decided to see what was going on. He quitly walked over but made sure he still kept an eye on the outlying lands he was supposed to be watching. He got closer and realised that it was Mokwa and an otter he didn't recognise just talking. -Well, I guess I'll have to get to know him eventually, better sooner than later...- He walked into the pool of light cast by the dual torches*
"Hey Mokwa, didn't expect to find you out at night." *He turned to the otter* "Oh sorry, my names Dantin."
