Exchanged (open/Blood meets Cabal)

[Dime Price]

Oh how she would see the Blood territory fall behind in the distance and how she would be able to imagine what would change without her. wondering if she would miss the sight of a castle out her bedroom door and wondering if she would be able to sleep when the sky wasn't seen in the reddish haze of the territories scar. She wondered... why did she accept such an offer?

And Exchange to Cabal. Some of their soldiers and some of Bloods trading places to learn about them to train with one another. Hopes of closing the unfamiliarity an creating bonds to a better alliance. This was where Raikotsu trained, A king who has gained great strength and great power in his time brawling and gaining experience to fight, protect, and lead. The great Dragons and many other names and titles came from these doors.

Her Scab uniform was grey in tones certainly not the most vibrant entrance she can ever remember making. With her skin ashen from her fever and her eyes darkened with the interrupted sleep she was getting. Strength is what she needed and knowledge is what she begged for. That had to been why she accepted the offer. She wasn't entirely sure since the ride there was a long and tiring one she fell asleep once more.


Upon arrival however when she woke she would view what was a militant home many hears older and grander than what was at their disposal in Blood. The history and the strength... oh skipping the pleasantries and flourish... this place was huuuge. Prota gave them state of the art but if she were to be honest the young military of blood was still founding its story. It is just a babe born from what is Cabal.

And she was going to walk these same footsteps as her Great King. Thinking about it like made made her spirits lift.

[Brianna Valdyr]

Brianna wasn't super fussed about people coming and going in the that particular moment. She was too busy happily chowing down on a giant meat stick from the place Pride showed her, humming as she tore into the steaming treat and almost groaning in delight. her stomach was going to hate her for all this.

"So. Good."

Looking up, she caught sight of a girl who looked like she had seen better days, her expression one of awe and hesitation that Brianna figured had been on her own face when she arrived.

"Hello there!" She swallowed another mouthful of meat as she waved.

[Dime Price]

She was from a wealthy family and even with the military environment she wasn't sure she should extend a welcoming hand to someone who had their own hands full. Truth too she probably looked about as sick as she felt if she did would they think her contagious? Or would it be more Rude to not offer a greeting?

Oh goodness she usually wasn't this shy as someone who has made many entrances that brought pride to the Price name she was out of her territory and out of her element. With no castle to give her hope she was going to need to find some new footing.

Seconds past and Dime finally spoke.

"Sorry I am a bit under the weather..." She made her excuse for her slow response. "Hello, I'm Dime Price, second born of the Price Family, and Scab Rank as a Soldier of Crimson Kingdom under the rule of the Blood Dragon and Crimson King, his highness, Raikotsu Sudeki." She inhaled quiet and satisfied after such a lengthy introduction.

[Brianna Valdyr]

So it wasn't some sort of chameleon qi user. Brianna retrated her hand as the other girl introduced herself with agonizing slowness. She was starting to wonder if there was something else needed to be welcomed into Cabal beyond just qi. She offered Dime a reassuring smile and let her hand rest at her side instead of returning to her food. The mention of a scab made her nose wrinkle a little, losing some of her desire for food until she realized that it was apparently a rank for the military.

What kind of place named their civilians that kind of stuff? She perked a bit at the mention of one of the Dragons, wondering what it was like for a moment.

"Well, welcome to Cabal, Dime. You should probably go to the infirmary if you're not feeling well. Don't want to spread what you've got." Unless it was some sort of travel sickness? It sounded like she'd been traveling a long distance, so maybe it just didn't agree with her? She popped up to her feet, one foot already resting on the seat to hop back.

"I can point you that way if you need it." One handed meat stick games were the best. She took another bite of her lunch as she waited.

[Dime Price]

Did waved her hand to refuse her gesture to the infirmary. "I am grateful you are incredibly kind to offer help but with the backing of Prota the skilled and state of the art physicians in Crimson Kingsom have treated me. The rest is just muscling through and recovering. I will be right as rain real soon. Just unfortunate that I arrived here in this condition, the timing was... Less than desirable, still the opportunity couldn't be passed up." She gave a gentle and excited smile.

[Brianna Valdyr]

A Prota citizen and proud of it, it seemed. Brianna shrugged at the dismissal, undeterred.

"Suit yourself then. Hope you feel better soon. There's a ton to look at when you're feeling up to it." She finished climbing away from the table with a small hop.

"Didn:t think anyone would come out this far from your home." Maybe they were s transfer? Who knew.

[Dime Price]

Dime almost allowed her to walk on by but she ad a thought.

"Well actually I would like to be showed around if you have a moment there is some time before I need to be found at a meeting for myself and the other exchanges. Raikotsu learned here did he not? Would you know anything about that?"

[Brianna Valdyr]

"Can't say I really know the place too well, either." Brianna was too tempted by the smell of the meat to ignore it any longer, unable to forgive herself of the crime of letting it get cold if she ignored it.

"Just got here the other day, but the office is over there. First on your left." She waved her free hand at teh admin building and offered the girl a smile.  "They can explain it better than I can if there's anything else you need as an exchange." She would keep walking backward as she spoke so she was still facing Dime.

"Besides, he was a Dragon, wasn't he?  Didn't most of them come here at some point?"  She blinked, surprised Dime didn't know herself.  The Dragons were big names, and she assume it would be big news if she came from his territory.   Interesting how she knew him by first name, though.

[Dime Price]

"Indeed..." She agreed whole heatedly about this place being the place the dragons were practically born. She would also allow Brianna to go. "Thank you it is a pleasure to have met you."

She would head towards the office open to any more greetings and meetings she would accept them eagerly. Even taking a look at a map she found in the office free to been given to the public residents and soldiers alike. "Oh goodness this place is much bigger than it looks... That training field..." One could get lost in such a massive area.

[Brianna Valdyr]

"Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon!" Brianna gave a cheerful wave.

She let Dime go without any further fuss, enjoying her lunch and, perhaps ironically, figuring when she could get to the training grounds after her classes and there was clearance.
