Hanging around and About

[Tallice Sanada]

Tallice looked at him confused and discerned "Ok." she yanked him down off the bed and said "Get up yourself, see if I'll help you anymore." she said walking off a little ways.

[Allen †]

Eragon nodded and got up from the bed and immediately collasped again. "My head is hurting." He groaned.

[Tallice Sanada]

Tallice heard him complain that his head was hurting "Well if your that tough, and your head is hurting that bad fix it yourself." she said turning to look at him.

[Allen †]

Eragon struggled to block out the pain, but somehow he can't do it. Saphira fused her mind with his and pushed back at the dull throbbing. Eragon shook his head to clear things up, then he gingerly stood and and patted Saphira. "Thank you." He whispered to his dragon.

[Tallice Sanada]

"Now, how do you like the fact of not being cared about?" she said with a slight huff. Even though she said she didn't care about him, deep inside she really did and was trying to teach him that sometimes its good to be cared about. Looked at him wanting to help but held back hoping he would get the point.

[Allen †]

Eragon shrugged. "I don't know. Sometimes I have not be cared about. But many had helped me..." He gazed at Saphira. The dragon had started to hum.

[Tallice Sanada]

"Eragon, sometimes its good to be cared about." she frowned a little. "Some people need the encouragement and confidence. Knowing that someone cares about you, it increases strength and will power. Didn't anyone teach you that?" she flew her hands down to her sides in frustration.

[Allen †]

"Brom did." Eragon said quietly, looking down on the ground. He saw a small pebble on the ground. He stared at it. The longer he looked, the more things he saw. The shiny surface. Then he saw the scratches. Then the hidden specks of colour in it. He searched for answers, but if there were any, it eluded him. Then he looked up.

[Tallice Sanada]

"Brom?" Tallice looked confused. "Who is Brom? If you don't mind me asking?" walking back over towards Eragon. "Look, I'm sorry. I wanted to show you the differences between not having no one care for you at all and that it is ok to have someone care about you." placing a hand on his shoulder. "Lumenese." Tallice called out to release the spell from Eragon that she had placed on him earlier.

[Allen †]

Eragon leaned against the wall. He bent down and picked up the pebble he was staring at a minute ago and bounced it in his palm. "Brom... he is the first person to know I had a dragon... not with me telling him of course... he found out himself. He was a friend before that, a wise old man with his head crammed full with stories of the past. I particulary liked the Dragon Riders. I didn't know he was one himself. He was chokeful of knowledge... I am proud to have him as my mentor and trainer. I daresay that he had done a good job. Through the months I have been with him... under his guidiance, I have grown... in something you can see and can't. I really miss him." Eragon said, keeping his head down, staring at the pebble he was still tossing around.

[Tallice Sanada]

"What happened to him?" Tallice asked "And, why are you so turned against women? I know that because they care too much isn't reason enough, something happened." she leaned against the wall beside him but distant for him to have his space.

[Allen †]

Eragon punched the wall. "Dead. Because he saved me! It should have been me!" He said and he ran from the wall, wiping tears out of his face.

[Tallice Sanada]

"I'm sorry, I didn't know." she ran after him, grabbing ahold of his shirt she held hugged him "I'm so sorry."

[Allen †]

Eragon shook his head. "I have lost too much." He said. Eragon jerked out of her embrace. "Its okay." He said. "I just ...felt bad. He died for me. He tried to keep me alive." He wiped some more tears away, embarassed.

[Tallice Sanada]

"Don't be embarassed, it shows that you care about him." she smiled "I assume he was like a father to you?"
