Miyuki spent much of the day wandering around the common areas of Laelith.  She was very high on alert to make sure she didn't wander anywhere that looked dangerous, and tried to actively avoid cheapside again.  Still she found herself confused by the fact that she could walk away from a store, location, or fountain, then simply because she had been thinking about it find herself re-entering that same area again despite not having made enough turns or backtracking to logically have gotten there.  She found herself passing by the Split Pig tavern more than once, the Seven Hells several times, even Jax's apartment a few times.  The travelers curse that gripped this land certainly did take getting used to.<br/><br/>Eventually however she decided it was time to rest as the hottest part of the day began to take hold.  Especially when she noticed thunderclouds forming on the horizon to the east.   She made her way back to Jax's apartment with a few minutes to spare as rain began pelting the sea to the east and quickly swept into the city.  She found Jax in the living room, polishing his armor with a rag, and he smiled as she entered.  The chatted for a little while of nothing of much consequences and she ended up picking up another rag and helping him polish his armor.  He said that he'd be going back to work as a defender on light duty for at least a week, and that since he'd be midnight shift till late morning, she would have the apartment to herself for most of the night.<br/><br/>Then she told him of how she might be leaving on an adventure with Etron, and Jax smiled and said that was good, but that he hoped they might get a chance to have at least one night of fun in his bed before she found a new place to live with all the fabulous riches she was likely to bring back.<br/><br/>After the armor was polished, Jax made a light lunch and then begged for a bit of peace to sleep off the remnants of a hang over and get back onto a schedule of sleeping during the afternoon so that he would be rested by nightfall.  Shockingly he would turn down any advances for sex, though if Miyuki pushed him, he might graciously accept a quick blowjob before turning in for the afternoon.  Miyuki caught a quick nap on the couch herself before waking up and wandering the streets a bit more before heading back to the forge.<br/><br/>Jevin was standing at a display case, her sword in front of him, a journal in front of him as he made notes in the book.  He greeted her and showed her what he'd done in her absence.  The blade had been honed to a razor edge, bringing back the sharpness that it had held when she'd first accepted the blade.  He'd used a light polish on it as well and it now shone with a bright gleam.  He assured her that these were relatively minor things and nothing to be concerned about.  But that he did have one concern.  He showed her the handle and how he had re-wrapped it with fresh cured leather.<strong>"I took apart the handle wrapping very carefully, making sure I understood the intricate way it was bound.  But when I took the long silk off, I realized that it was fairly worn, not just dirty."</strong>He showed her the long length of silk that had been wrapped about the handle to create the grip.  He had cleaned it, but she could see what he meant, the silk had been creased and worn from use.<strong> "I can get you silk to re-wrap it if you prefer, but it's a bit expensive and I'll need a few coins to do so.  But I think you might find this leather wrap just as good.  I... I wasn't sure if you'd prefer the old silk wrap for sentimental reasons or the new leather for a safer and more secure grip.  I chose to err on the side of function and went with the latter.  I hope that's ok."</strong><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">You can react to this post however you like, and if you want to move along to Far Davindi's just write that she shows up at his shop, no worries about a roll for now.</div></div>
