Tyann blinked as Ari approached, opening his mouth to hail the other man before his thoughts screeched to a halt, mind going blank as a wave of brief pain sundered his brain.
His head ached, and even as Ari spoke to him, Tyann growled through the pain under his breath.
It passed, and it took The Beastmaster a moment to click back into reality. His hand lurched out, catching Ariās as he gave a quiet, grateful, gasp. Down and off of Oorhundās back he went, before he barked at the direwolf.
Said beast slowly laid himself down, whining lowly, as Tyann proceeded to then pull the chest off the massive lupine.
āThank you Ariā¦ Iā¦ Ahā¦ Iām returning for but a momentā Thank you for getting the- the- ughā¦ā he trailed off, thoughts spiralingā¦ He thought of Ari as a friend! He was! Soā Why did it hurt to admit that? To think itā? ā¦ No matter.
Tyann straightened up, clearing his throat and forcing himself through the pain. He survived ankhegās venom, he survived a wyverns bite, and he survived the taming of the Thunderā
White out pain, againā
The taming of the giant centipedes from The Healerās homeland. He could survive this mere headache.
āSorry. Iāve been troubled by intense migraines. They come and goā¦ No matter. My friend, thank you for getting the carriages ready. And for accounting for ā¦ Her majestyās companion. I come from the port town down Roaldās Road. Korgan and The Huntsman hadā¦ An altercation,ā He hissed this, cold wrath wrapping around his heart. They harmed his employeeās livelihood. How dare they! āAnd resulted in a rather large detonation. Iāmā¦ Sorry to say your bakery was lost. I was able to retrieve this when I arrived, and I will admit that I looked through it to confirm that it held no contraband. I apologizeā¦ I relinquish its possession back to you, along with the proper funds to have it repairedā¦ And reinforced.ā
Tyann topped this statement with that certain air of finality, that determined tone he took when there was no argument to be brokered.
The chest was held out to Ari, with Tyann staring the other man dead in his eyes. Even with the mask hiding Tyannās, Ari was sure to feel the gaze of The Beastmaster looking him in the eye.
