Achaziah chuckled at everything that unfolded in front of him. It seemed as though Hal's request for him to go and talk with Kessel and Sarah was unneeded. He turned back to Hal, arms crossed with a bit of a triumphant smirk, "Looks like I don't need to talk to them for you, Hal. I think they'd already decided to help you. They were just a bit off in their first impressions," Achaziah stated calmly before turning back to Sarah and Kessel. He the realized what he'd just said. He gave a slight bow to them and said, "I hope you two don't take offense to the way I talk.....I'm very blunt....even to myself usually. Also, my name is Achaziah Daegal. I'm a traveling monk."

Hal extended his hand towards Sarah. "The name's Hal Kailas, third child of Kyle and Jen Kailas. Figured I'd introduce myself properly. My plan? It's simple, you remember how I just walked up to you two and asked? Just do that to anybody that looks like they may know something." Looking between Sarah and Kessel Hal had asked a question. "So, why did you two want to become wyvern soldiers?"

Sarah frowned. "Well, to serve Bern, why else?" she asked, confused as to why the question was even needed. "Sure, we may be a part of the 'Ilian' army, but we are soldiers of Bern, regardless of name." she said matter-of-factly. "My parents were Wyvern soldiers. They used to tell such amazing stories, so it was only natural that my brothers and I grew up to join the army ourselves." she added. Sarah looked over at Kessel with a smile. "What about you?" she asked.

"Me? Well..." Kessel sighed before rubbing his chin. "My reason isn't as logical as yours Sarah. My decision was based off of...well...I think it would be better to show you."
Looking at the little group, he nodded his head slightly. "Alright, follow me. We'll need to head back to the outpost for this."
Kessel led the group back to the outpost and around to the open air stables, waving to the other riders he knew. After looking around a bit, he frowned. "Now where did she go..." he mumbled to himself. The wyvern rider looked around once more, before giving a sharp whistle that cut through the night.
Silence. And then a steady fwump-fwump became audible. The noise got louder, before suddenly, a dark shape dropped from the sky right in front of Kessel. As the dust from the figure landing cleared, it revealed a light gray, almost silver, wyvern, nuzzling Kessel.
"May I introduce to you all, my partner, Rhiannon."
OoC: Sorry for taking a while to post, was cut off from the internet for turkey day. Also sorry for arbitrarily moving the group like that, I just wanted to try and get things moving. Let me know if I did bad, and need to change it.

Achaziah didn't really have anything to say at this point. He merely gazed at the large scaled beast, slightly in awe of the creature. He had seen Wyverns before, but never up close like this. They were truly impressive creatures. From the way this one acted it seems their intelligence was comparable to a horse, or perhaps greater. Both kinds of beasts had to undergo special training for use in combat, so Achaziah suspected that the Wyverns weren't much different from horses and even less different from Pegasi.
Either way, he only crossed his arms after the trek and listened to everything that the others had to say. He'd already put in his bit for this conversation.

By the looks of it Kessel shared the same love of Wyverns as he did. That's great! "Well it's getting late, we can keep talking and such in the morning." Hal rubbed his eyes as he yawned. "But that is a pretty wyvern you got there Kessel."

"PRETTY? She's beautiful!" Sarah cried, resisting the urge to stroke Rhiannon. Sarah didn't have a personal wyvern, but rode 'practice' ones instead. She longed to have a partner of her own. Sarah turned to Hal. "Where you sleepin'?" she asked.

"The inn's tavern we were in, that place. Well not the tavern part, I got a room in the inn. If you need a place to stay I can share my room with you? I don't mind sleeping on the floor, I used to do it all the time when we didn't have any more beds left back in the circus." Hal knew it was late but he wanted to ask to ride, but two things stopped him. He never rode one on his own, and he was scared to ask, but then again there was always tomorrow maybe?
OoC: He's not inviting her to stay in his room for the same reasons as Hiro would, he's doing it to be nice. Also he's not into the whole 'must find a girl' phase right now.

Rhiannon crooned under all the attention she was getting. "Yes, yes, we all know your beautiful," Kessel said as he patted her head.
Hearing the others talk about where they were sleeping reminded Kessel that it was rather late, and he planned to get them an early start in the morning.
"Alright, it looks like you have sleeping covered. Better get a good nights rest, because you Hal, are supposed to meet me tomorrow bright and early," he said with a grin on his face. The wyvern rider turned to Sarah and said, "Even though your under Alther, I want you to show up as well. If he has a problem with that, tell him to come to me about it."
Kessel walked over to one of the stalls with Rhiannon and tethered her in for the night. The wyvern turned her head and gave him a look that said, "You really think I'm gonna leave?" He chuckled as he said, "Protocol, you know that." And in a whisper, "Besides, you may not have to put up with it much longer." With one last pat, he walked back to the others. "Just show up at the front and ask for me, when you all show up we can get started."

Sarah tossed Hal's invitation around in her mind. She DID have a place to sleep, but she didn't like it at all- it was pretty cushy. She had joined the army to live hard, not drown herself in pillows. In fact, the more she thought about it, the more she liked the idea- it would worry her brothers to no end, just like they'd worried her tonight. "Yes. Yes, I do need a place to sleep." she said with her most 'humble' smile. "But don't get any funny ideas or try anything! Or else my brothers will hunt you down and put your head on a stick! Right, Sir?"

OoC:Hope you don't mind, just trying to move it along quicker.
BiC: Hal smiled. "I had to 'strong arm' enough guys before because of my younger sisters, trust me I'm not going to do anything I shouldn't. Now let us go. Night guys." Hal nodded to Kessel and Achaziah. Grabbing Sarah's wrist he led her to the room. "Bah I wish I had something more comfortable to sleep in. The other stuff I have needs to be washed, don't want to give her the impression that I like to sleep in filth.
Hal grabbed a pillow and found a spot and threw it on the floor then looked at Sarah. "Good night, see you in the morning." He said with a friendly smile. He was used to sharing a room with girls that wasn't his sisters. There were times the ring master was being cheap so they all had to sleep in few rooms and they were crowded. He layed down and couldn't fall asleep right away so he just layed there.

Achaziah had been quiet for the trip back to the in. He kept to himself when they arrived, too, going into his room so he could get to bed early. As he lay there thinking, he couldn't help but smile. Things seem to have worked out for the best. I've gotten three companions all in one day. Travelling alone or with trade caravans was beginning to get boring. Now I have two squires and a full fledged wyvern rider as my company. They all have their quirks. I can tell that already....especially Hal. But there's something about his childlike dream and his determination that inspires me. If he can face the world with such high hopes then who am I to stand idly by while he fights the good fight and searches for his better life as well? I must help him succeed. Perhaps helping him will help me as well....

The next morning, Kessel was up with the dawn despite suffering from a slight hangover. As he readied himself for the day to come, he grumbled to himself over the injustice of hangovers. "Why? Why does ale, which makes everything better when you drink it make you feel bad later?"
Finally finished with his morning ablution, Kessel dressed before strapping on his armor. After all, with what he had planned, he needed to be dressed to impress. He was going to be requesting a few things from his superiors this morning, and he didn't think they would be happy about it. After all, if things went as planned, the outpost would be losing three people today.
OoC: Not going to go into the details of this, you'll find out the results in a bit.

Sarah followed Hal into the room, suddenly very tired herself. Her muscles ached more than she had realized, and now she wanted nothing more than sleep. She threw off her heavy armor and flopped onto the bed in her thin pants and shirt. She pulled up the blanket and yawned. "Good night, Hal." she said absently. She closed her eyes and counted numbers in her head, willing her brain to shut down for sleep. 15, 14, 12, 11, 10, 8, 5, 4...

OoC:We can go on with the support topic and move things along here too.
BiC:That morning Hal woke up rubbing his eyes. "Man, sleeping on the floor sucks" he mumbled as he started to get up. Hal knew the day was going to be long and wondered how Kessel would go about starting his training. He looked over to Sarah who was still sleeping. He figured he should wake her so she knew where he went.
He walked to the bed and gave it a shake "You awake Sarah?"
