LOG: RAHAL and KIDD
Who: Kidd and Rahal
Where: In the stables
When: Before Kidd's post in the comm
Why: Because Kidd is snoopy....
Kidd: *all bundled up for the cold weather, complete with an obnoxiously puffy blue coat and plaid scarf... yet still wearing his shorts; he ventures around the perimeter of the stables with his magnifying glass*
Rahal: [He's making his usual visit to Flail. The dragon horse is more alert now, standing up and moving about, if still lethargic because of the wintery weather and parts of her sickness still lingering. But she was up and alert and that was fine. Rahal hummed to himself as he rubbed Flail's scales with an oil cloth, Flail drowsing a bit on her feet]
Kidd: *rounds a corner, he is opposite Rahal's back. Curious, he crouches behind a bale of hay and spies--was Flail asleep?*
Kidd: ... *sneezes from the hay*
Rahal: [he spun at the sneezing, tensing on reflex. Flail snorts and her heads comes up, but just as quickly goes down.] Hello?
Kidd: ... *holds his breath* .................. *intones in as low a voice he can muster* I... I AM THE SPIRIT OF THE BARNNNNN.
Rahal: [pats Flail and heads over to the bale of hay, looking over and smiling] It sounds better if you don't stutter.
Kidd: THE RECENT WEATHER HAS GIVEN ME A SPELL OF BAD... JUJU. >_>
Rahal: [he laughs, turning to head back to Flail]
Kidd: *stands up, hay on his hat* Hey! It wasn't that funny!!!!
Rahal: Forgive me, Kidd. I just have had few things to laugh about of late.
Kidd: *wrinkles his nose and steps away from the hay* What are you doing? That cloth... it smells suspicious. >_>
Rahal: It's a special oil we use to clean Dragon Horses' scales and keep them water proof.
Kidd: That makes sense, seeing how the weather has been. But uh... *gets in a little too close to examine Flail with his magnifying glass* What happens when they get wet?
Rahal: The water slides off. [Flail snorted, covering the magnifying glass in snot]
Kidd: Ugh... *holds the magnifying glass away* No, I mean if you don't waterproof them!
Rahal: Oh, they can already waterproof themselves with a secretion they can produce. We just like to amplify it and give them extra protection. It also makes them easier to rub down after a swim, which can prevent chilling.
Kidd: *has the sudden mental image of scales dropping off like icicles and shudders* Are there wild dragon horses?
Rahal: I'm sure they're are. We haven't seen any in a long time, nor do we have a need to capture any as we breed all our dragon horses.
Kidd: Then those wild dragon horses.... I bet they don't have people oiling their scales! *to Flail* You're spoiled! *wipes the magnifying glass clean on his puffy coat*
Rahal: [he chuckles and Flail shakes her head] Yes, I suppose they are, but it prevents possible sickness, so it's worth it.
Kidd: *scans the barn* I'm out looking for clues.. have you seen anything suspicious?
Rahal: Clues to what?
Kidd: The mysterious weather! And then there's the case of that mysterious light...
Rahal: [he goes pensive a moment. He has his own theories on that, ones that make him very worried, but he doesn't think he should tell Kidd, not because he is not trust worthy, but because... well.... he shakes his head] I won't know. I don't know enough about this area's weather patterns to know if this has occurred before or not.
Kidd: I've been living here for a while, and I spent a long time in Duck Village before coming here. This is not common weather... not common weather at all. *frowns* Shoon seemed to be onto something, but we hit a dead end...
Rahal: Well, I don't know what to tell you then, Kidd. I'm as confused as you and the rest of Budehuc.
Kidd: *raises his magnifying glass* Do you know anything about a statue of a queen or goddess? That's what I was out looking for, but never found...
Rahal: Yes. It is known that the Sun Rune, when our Queen dies, return to the Sacred Statue housed in the Royal Palace. It is then passed to the next Queen. It shouldn't be here, so of course Shoon would not find it.
Kidd: *blinks* Wait, what? *suddenly heard a ton of information* A statue in Falena? Well, no DUH it's not going to be in Budehuc!
Rahal: That's what I mean. Looking for the statue seems a waste of time then. [He bends and makes a clucking sound, Flail lifted one of her feet slightly so he work at her claws]
Kidd: So... you think he's looking for a statue because it relates to... the Sun Rune... which relates to the weather? *slowly trying to piece the puzzle together*
Rahal: [he bit his lip as he worked at Flail's claws, wondering how much to tell] Well, I can't say if the Sun Rune affects the weather or not, so it could be them jumping to conclusions really. It might not even have been the Sun Rune.
Kidd: So this statue might house another rune? I never even considered runes being responsible for this weather... *frowns*
Rahal: I don't think they are, but perhaps True Runes are different? [He set Flail's foot down and patted her flank, the blue beats shaking her head and snorting, turning to nudge at Kidd while Rahal went around to her other side]
Kidd: *is nudged at and jumps a bit* Shoon did talk about magic... but... I don't know enough about runes. *suddenly sparkles* I think it's time for a trip to the library!!
Rahal: The library?
Kidd: Of course! I'm not a magic user. My only assistance ability is treasure hunting, and that doesn't really teach me much about runes. As much as I wish I knew about everything there are a few things I don't know about. *dramatic sigh*
Rahal: It's a sign of maturity that you realize that. [he's bent at Flail's other foot, rubbing the claws with the oil rag]
Kidd: *ego inflates a few more notches* Well, I did just have a birthday recently~ *so self-absorbed he's stopped watching Rahal tend to Flail*
Rahal: Oh? Well Happy Birthday, Kidd. How old are you now? [He's glad he's steering the conversation away from the Rune]
Kidd: Eighteen. *puffs out more* ... Wait. .... Tomorrow is Valentine's Day then. ....
Rahal: So it is.
Kidd: ..... kdfasdf I FORGOT AGAIN.
Kidd: I gave my last piece of chocolate to Shoon!!!!
Rahal: What is the problem, Kidd?
Kidd: It's Valentine's Day and I forgot, that's what the problem is! I already forgot her birthday.. she's never going to let me live it down!
Rahal: Ooooh, girl troubles. [He chuckles and finishes, patting Flail again and moving to tend to her horns]
Kidd: There are no "troubles." I just... I just don't have a calendar! *scowls*
Rahal: [He doesn't mean to chuckle, but he does, and Flail gives a sort of burble as he works at her horns] But it is for a Lady, no?
Kidd: Well I sure as heck am not celebrating Valentine's Day with a guy. *hormonal!teenager grumble, and gives Flail a scowl as if she was mocking him* Are you doing anything special?
Rahal: No, not particularly. She just likes her horns rubbed.
Kidd: Hmph. *still eyes Flail warily* Well, it's getting cold out. *doesn't remark on the fact that he's WEARING HIS SHORTS* And I need to hit the library... you've got me thinking maybe I approached this case all wrong!!
Rahal: Well, I wish you luck. I hope somebody figures out the cause soon. I don't want that happening again and Flail getting ill once more.... [He rubbed Flail's face, the dragon horse rumbling]
Kidd: I don't either; I wouldn't want anyone sick, which is why I want to solve this mystery as soon as possible. *tips his hat* Thanks for the information!
Rahal: [he nods, glad he has steered Kid in another direction, one that does not involve possible harm]
