Eyebrows lowering slightly, Ecilan brought them back up again as soon as he realised he was doing it. It wouldn't be good if he started showing facial expressions again so soon after deciding that he would continue training to be the Ice Knight. In front of him, the newly baked cake sent whisps of steam up towards the ceiling. He was fairly sure he'd made a mistake again; the colour wasn't quite right, and it looked a little soft. Hmm.
He cut out a small slice and tasted it. Yes, it was on the very sweet side, but he knew one person who would definitely like it...
* * *
Peering around a corner, Ecilan could see that Grisia was in that corridor, his distinctive hair making him easily recognisable - but there were other people milling around also. Hm. He wanted to pass the cake on to Grisia, but he couldn't do that with other people watching. But maybe he could use what was expected of them to his advantage.
"Grisia!" he called out, stepping away from the corner. Grisia whirled around, his hair going out in all directions. Here, Ecilan floundered, not at all sure what to say. "May you see, um, the God of Light favours being stern than being forgiving!" He wasn't able to keep his voice up throughout, his throat already starting to strain after the first few words, and Ecilan had to keep his face from making an expression. He took a couple of steps forward so that they wouldn't be shouting at each other just so that they could hear the other person.
Grisia's eyes were wide when he finished. "But it is through seeing the kindness of the God of Light that we, His children, may live long, fulfilled lives with the knowledge of His... kindness." Grisia frowned slightly at the last word.
Ecilan was trying very hard not to gape or widen his eyes at the other boy. It had come so easily to him! He belatedly realised that he should respond with something else.
"That isn't the only side of the God of Light and, uh, you should... keep that in mind." Talking like how he was expected to was really hard. If he was finding it this difficult, maybe he shouldn't talk that much; that was what was expected of him anyway. Before he could lose his nerve, Ecilan shoved the plate into Grisia's hands, turned on his heel and attempted to stalk away. He didn't think he was very successful - he could feel his blood rushing to his cheeks, and he just hoped that Grisia would understand the gesture.
Next time though, he should try giving Grisia sweets in smaller batches; it wouldn't be so awkward to pass them along then.

Date: Jan. 15th, 2011 10:24 pm (UTC)Nope! The whole reason why they're stuttering is because I got stuck as well! XD;; I'd get to a certain point, and then just end up halting in place because I didn't know what they would say. I eventually realised that since they're only about twelve and have just started the character training, they won't know what to say either, so I had a valid excuse of their floundering and repetitiveness.
I am finding Grisia's speech a little easier to do now though, but I can't quite stretch myself to have him talk loads and loads about the God of Light yet. XD Maybe with more practice...
