On the road again...
Who: Red XIII and Vincent
Where: Bevelle end of Calm Lands
What: Summoner and Guardian finally meet, and begin their journey.
Vincent arrived at the Bevelle end of the Calm Lands, leading his chocobo. The dark haired man wore an unreadable expression as he neared the rocks .
Nanaki was camped out on the ledge just before Bevelle. The red Ronso was currently cleaning up his camp as he watched the horizon for his new guardian. He knew that through the spheres the guardian would have been able to see that he was a Ronso, but he hoped that seeing him in person wouldn't change his mind about guarding a Ronso summoner. They were, after all, unheard of. The Ronsos weren't so popular outside their own haven. Scattering the ashes of his fire from last night, Nanaki glanced up to see a man with his Chocobo coming in his direction. If he was correct, that was who he was looking for. He stood up straight and gave a nod in the stranger's direction.
Vincent looked up at the ronso, a bit surprised. "hello, you must be Nanaki....forgive me, but I've never actually met a ronso before." Vincent fidgeted with the reins of his chocobo, the bird was a little antsy.
The red Ronso nod and then tried for a friendly smile; it was hard for him not to bare his teeth and look frightening, but he seemed to manage. "Yes, I am Nanaki. Red, if you wish. And you are Vincent then...?"
"yes, Vincent Valentine at your service." At this Vincent bowed slightly. "I'd like to be your guardian, if you'll have me."
Nanaki couldn't help but to smile again; this news made him extremely happy. "Yes, I'd be very thankful." He paused and tilted his head in thought. "I've never had a traveling companion. It should be... different, interesting." His head returned to a normal angle. "I look forward to it."
"I too am accustomed to travleing alone...except for this chocobo that has kept me company for a while, although I doubt she can understand me." Vincent patted the chocobo on the nose, the bird seemed to like that and made a low 'wark'. "Nanaki...out of curiosity, have you had any visions? I've heard that many other summoners have been recieving odd visions from aeons."
The red Ronso glanced away, looking at a particular spot on the ground, then looked back up at Vincent. "Yes, in fact I have gotten a vision. Just last night I received one. She looked like a young, beautiful Spiran... she crying I think. When I woke this morning I felt extremely vitalized. I feel as though I could do just about anything right now." At this he bounced on the balls of his feet and flexed his arms a bit, a slight show of strength picked up from his fellow Ronso. He settled back down and cocked his head once more. "I think she is back in Bevelle... would you accompany me to find her?"
Vincent nodded and looked up at the sky somewhat dazed "It appears that our journey has just begun." Looking back at the red ronso, he asked "would you mind if I brought Lucy..the chocobo..at least until I can find a stable for her?"
Nanaki looked at the Chocobo. He actually liked the birds; they were pretty in his eyes and not just food. But they didn't always seem to like him unless well trained. His predatory scent made them wary around him. But he looked back at Vincent and nodded. "Of course."
Vincent pulled the reins of the chocobo, getting ready to leave. Lucy warked, gave Nanaki a sideway look, and pranced in place, she was ready to go. Vincent looked over at the ronso with a smile on his face "We're ready to go, Bevelle right? lead and we'll follow."
Nanaki nodded. "Very well." He turned, picked up a small bag that he swung across his back, kicked the remainder of the ashes just for assurance, and then began heading down the path that led back to Bevelle.
