Back Into the Fray...

First topic message reminder :

After kindly escorting her new companion out of the Deadman's Den and out into the streets of Valhalla, she would pause and wait to see if El was keeping up with her. She didn't want him to get lost... Or snatched up by some random thugs. It was probably very clear that he was not from around here and had some sort of stature, considering his attired and his mannerisms. Extremely different from any normal Valparaiso Denizen, naturally... And she wouldn't be surprised if they preyed on such a thing, even if she was with him. But it wasn't likely that guys like that would make any bold moves out in the streets... Be she knew at the very least, they were watching.

They hadn't gone too far, but she had to check on him and make sure he was okay... Just in case. It was not only to ensure his safety, but also because it was just being a good escort. "You alright there, love~?" She wouldn't let him on about the dark secrets of this place just yet... It was better to keep him ignorant about such things until the time actually called for it. No need to get this guy all worked up... He seemed to be the 'I'll cut down anyone that tries to touch us!' sort of guy and, even though that was good, it wasn't good to go starting something by looking at someone the wrong way 'round here... So, this would do for now until something popped off, if it did at all.

From being so very close to him, she could tell that he was holding his breath, for whatever reason. Despite how he tried to keep up the cool act, she could tell that she was, even if slightly, getting to him with her own sort of 'charm' the same way his had only slightly gotten to her before. Though they were playing two different games (if he was even playing at all), it was still a... 'good match,' so to speak. Tzita was, for once, enjoying herself beyond simply the physical pleasantries of her endeavors, for roping in men around here was all too easy. She was beginning to become rather fond of this 'new challenger' of sorts.

The soft strong of his hand against her arm sent a chill up her spine, something of which she'd definitely have to return to him in her own... special way. She could see that he was loosening up from that whole 'royalty' persona and getting a little more casual with her, after what he said. Maybe he wasn't as much of a stiff as she thought... Not to say that his regal manner wasn't still rather attractive in and of itself, to a relative degree. "... Sometimes~..." she chimed cutely, "... But my personal preference is more... Rough and tumble..." She'd drop one arm as though it went limp, ever so slightly brushing it against his pelvis before just as swiftly lifting it to his abdomen and adjusting herself to a more comfortable position. The other, holding her chain, would gently slip around his neck, hinting at her type of 'ride' that she enjoyed. It slithered around his neck like a cold, metallic snake before she'd draw it back into her hand again.

Before they got too lost in their own little means of fun, she would direct him in the direction of the other important building in the central City of Ruin. There weren't many that were not homes to the thugs and cutthroats, even things that used to be businesses were now merely places for them to congregate and do as they do in secret. Very few, if any places of actual commerce still remained; one of which was the Forbidden Hotel, the most popular attraction in all Valhalla, and possibly even Valparaiso. "Let's not get too distracted, hm? I'm still supposed to be your escort..." even if at this point, it seemed to be the other way around. "The next sight to see is over this way... Just follow the main road and it'll take you right to it."

he maneuvered his hands, as she adjusted, so that he could keep his firm grip on her. If she wanted to be carried a different way, then he would surely oblige her, but he felt like she was trying to hint him towards something else entirely. El came from a simple world, caught in a medieval-like time period and were just now beginning their evolution towards a new age. With that, El was a simple man of that world that could be considered, primitive, if looked at from this world, so there were things he'd never experienced.

He said nothing immediate though, just secretly enjoying having his hands upon her exotic skin and voluptuous body, and looked onward towards where she was attempting to direct him and turned to walk the path as directed. "And what might this other sight be, Lady L'sia?" He'd ask curiously. This place had quite the interesting layout for such a lifeless looking place. Tzita hadn't actually identify anything of significant importance as they walked except for this one time. El wasn't sure if he was suppose to take that as saying that, besides the extravagant Hotel, none of the other buildings meant much to 'tourist' except for this next one?

"Well, down this road is the Broken Homes Orphanage. It's the only other building that isn't filled with Valparaiso Denizens waiting to jump people." Certainly, there may have been room for potential interesting places, but with so many people occupying the buildings, they'd have to go through some people in order to even capture the buildings in the first place. Having no interest in any place besides the Forbidden Hotel, the thought to expand on the territory was never in her mind, nor anyone else's for that matter. They had their business and that's all that she really cared about. "I know it's not the most... Exciting place to go to, but you never know. Maybe you were brought here to help these children?"

Only moments after she said that, there was a loud explosion and a burst of lava that shot from the ground, towering over some of the buildings and in plain sight. She jumped up, slightly startled by it, but questioning why and how it occurred nonetheless. "What the hell...?" Even if random disturbances were common around these parts, it was unusual to see something like THAT. And the roughnecks usually knew to leave the orphans alone, regardless, so... Whatever was going down there was something really strange. Before long, lava could be seen flowing along the main street in the distance. For once, she seemed actually concerned about the situation. "Hey, uh, let's speed this up, huh? Whatever's happening is going on near the orphanage, and I don't know what it is, but it probably isn't good for those children..."

El was nodding along with Tzita's explanation about their next destination. If he was brought here by the wish of someone else, then it wasn't outside the realm of possibility that he was brought here by the overwhelming power a child, or group of children, wishes could hold. Even in his home world, children looked up to knights, in the real world and in story books, as a savior and protector of all: A Hero. El never once thought of himself as such, but there were many times where he heard the word dropped when being described to someone by someone else.

Even because Tzita's jump in his arms indicated her surprise about the geyser of lava spewing towards the sky, El had already picked up on the screams and cries of the children in the orphanage that was telling him about seconds before. El had stopped walking, but not out of surprise of the situation, nor Tzita's sudden urgency. "Hold on tight, Lady L'sia." He cautioned, digging his feet deep into the ground, his body tensing to a degree that Tzita would be able to feel being so close to his chest, and held on to Tzita firmer than before, but still with a touch of delicacy.

He exhaled, calming himself and his mind of the thoughts of Tzita and focusing on the task he'd set forth for himself; saving those children. And, with a rapid burst of speed, he was off running and nearing their destination in the blink of an eye. El wasn't sure what he could do about stopping Lava, but the least he could do was help the children escape.
