Thread: Duty (attn any) 2/17/10

walking up to the opposite side of the lake kendov did not see the man on the dock. quietly he pulled off his coat and his shirt throwing them to the side and his shoes. the body lined with random scars told his human life easily and how uneasy it was. he seemed to kneel for a few moments and then slowly entered the water.

(if you approach hes talking/chanting in his native language)

A.J. saw the figure appear across the lake. It was a bit of a distance away so he couldn't quite make out who it was. That made the decision quickly that he would circle around the lake to investigate. He didn't hurry or move fast enough to cause any concern if it was a mere mortal. Once he had reached the point where he saw the man enter the water he stopped and looked out over the water to see if he could make an identification of who it was and more importantly, what he was.

bringing a handfull of water from the lake kendov held it over his head chanting more words of power. as the water fell on his face and over his head. he layed his hand just barely ontop of the water as if resting on it feeling it as it stilled and was peaceful again.

like a statue he stood, perfectly still touching the earth sky and water

A.J. watched quietly as Kendov stood there. He made no noise, being mindful that this might be some kind of ritual and he wasn't interested in interrupting his clan's speaker. He would just stand there, quiet and still until Kendov had finished and acknowledged his presence.

opening his eyes he spoke out into the night this time in english

" i know you are there but who you are is still a mystery. why not show yourself ?"

A.J. steps out of the brush and gives Kendov a nod. He wasn't sure by the one of Kendov's voice if he was offended by him not interrupting. He says to Kendov, "It's just me, A.J. Sorry if I disturbed you. I was trying to wait until you were finished and didn't want to be rude and interrupt you."

he nodded to the new gangrel as he explained.

" there was no disturbance. you are fine a.j. i was just reconnecting with the land to center my thoughts. " he turns around to face the young one and leans back submersing in the water for a few moments before coming back upnot bothering to wipe away the water as it runs off his face " so what bring you here to the lake ? the citys younglings often come here to let their love take physical form or more appropriately their lust " he smirks

A.J. laughs at the comment about the younglings and just shrugs. He wasn't sure he wanted to tell him that he was patrolling because he didn't know if it was his place to do just that yet, but, it was his responsibility to tell the truth to his clansman. He clears his throat a bit and says, "I was just patrolling. Which, I know its probably not my place to do so yet since I'm not acknowledged and know very few here, but, it just felt right to do my duty to the family."
