Hanging in the plaza

[riyoa_zhensa]

Riyo'a plops down on a bench in the center of the settlement rather unceremoniously for someone who would normally be boasting about his killing blow. He probably should have said something to his group before skulking over, but his damn thigh is itching up a storm, and the spot by his tail isn't getting any better so he's not really all that concerned about niceties at the moment. He'd been trying to ignore it and really not make a scene in front of the ladies, but it they'd already noticed at this point and damn if the bite or whatever it was on his leg wasn't killing him. He lets out a long angry grunt before scratching at it, not caring who saw at this point.

The Twelve help the person who brings up crabs again because Riyo'a is not a happy camper.

Janvier slides next to Riyo'a on the bench. He maintains a little distance, sensing that the archer isn't in the best of moods.

"Hey, good job out there with the beast, and with tracking our target. We made a lot of progress towards our goals today because of your work."

Janvier gives a small smile to Riyo'a

His ears perk up at Janvier's words. Was that praise and recognition he heard? Itch momentarily forgotten, Riyo'a beams at him. "Oh that? That was easy. They don't call me one of the best my tribe has to offer for nothing!" Literally no one has ever called him that, but Janvier doesn't need to know that.

He absentmindedly scratches his leg - looks like it wasn't totally forgotten. "There was one mission I was on where I had to scout out an area and this Marlboro came out of nowhere and attacked me! It was a close call but I managed to fell the creature and save my partner from its jaws with some of those moves you just saw, so that crab really was no match!"

What actually happened was he was recklessly exploring the area near Haukke's Manor when he was spotted by the Marlboro, nearly eaten, thrown into a tree and knocked out when his friend saved his ass, and woke up to a very pissed off father, but details.

"No, no, really, it's much appreciated. Especially since I put myself into a precarious position. If you weren't as precise as you were, I could have been full of arrows! So I appreciate your skill with your bow. It's nice knowing I have you shooting over my shoulder."

Janvier stretches his arms, looking up at the clouds for a few seconds.

"So, I noticed at the end of the fight, you seemed a little off your game. I mean, not with your archery, obviously. Your arrows certainly fly true. But, something seemed to be bothering you, and I was wondering if I could be of help in anyway."

Janvier smiles gently at Riyo'a.

Riyo'a turns slightly pink at the man's praise. He's good at what he does -hell, his tribe had acknowledged his gift with a bow before - but he's a far cry from the best (and that's been said before as well). He's not going to deny any of it, though, instead choosing to bask in this rare occasion. "Well as long as we're a team, you can count on me!"

At the end of Janvier's words, however, his blush is there for a different reason. "Guess I wasn't being very subtle about it. I think one of those damn bugs bit me back there." And now that his mind's on it again, the tingle has come back tenfold. He lets out a frustrated grunt. "It's so freaking itchy I wanna die!" Cue vigorous scratching.

"Back there? What do you-" Janvier's expression shifts from confusion to abject terror "Oh. Oh no."

"There's got to be some sort of ointment or salve to help with this. Possibly we can find a local medic or white mage? Or an alchemsit with a solution to this. But... uh... you're gonna have to handle... welllllllll"

Janvier pauses. "Describing your problem to a stranger. I do not envy your situation."

With that, Janvier pats Riyo'a on the shoulder. "I wish you the best of luck in your journey for an itch free bum. Unless you need my assistance, I think I'm going to see if the fisherman and his partner came back to town, see if they have any spare fish to sell. After a battle like that, a small feast is customary to celebrate, and a nice qabob could be excellent right now. And who knows, they seem to be fans of mine, maybe they'll give me a good deal!"

Janvier thinks to himself for a moment. "You know, maybe we should have the whole team celebrate. If you see any of the others, let them know I'm trying to put together a nice meal for us. A sort of, pot luck type thing. Just, all of us together celebrating this win! What do you think?"

Riyo'a hangs his head. He doesn't envy his situation either. Maybe he can just live with it. It has to go away eventually, right? In the meantime, though, it's just getting worse. He's going to try to focus on a distraction to get himself through. Luckily, fish gets his ears to perk up.

"A feast? Sounds awesome! I don't really know much about cooking, though, so you're on your own there. I hunted the meals back home, not prepped them."
