ROLEPLAY

The Fairs

"Bankun, seamstress. Say, was there any other cool stuff back then? Like Playhomin? *Elea smiles and sits in the circle around the fire*
– Kikoo, teenies! Yes, there were other good times. Let's see... *takes over his diary and sees a green and blue tryker outfit*. Here we are: the first Lakes Fair. It all began in 2526 with a meeting at the bar of Fairhaven, where Chrys began to sing the epics and legends of Trykoth while drinking liquor. Always said that Trykers don't hold their drink, oh my... https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=7843 https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=13622&highlight=foire+tr yker
– Boy, it's getting long in the tooth.
– The Lakes have indeed always been animated. The Trykers weren't just squatting in the bar, they were trying to give life to the Lakes. https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=13396&highlight=foire+tr yker There were even poetry contests a la tryker... [/i]*smiles* https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=14986
– Then came the Temples. But once those erected, the tradition resumed even more. https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=21018 There has been a party where a light outfit was created. It was a medium-finish green Tryker vest with a blue high-finish dress. At a Stcentor event, that is to say much later, for another party in the Lakes, I made it again from memory.
– The Lake Fairs became known throughout Atys. We saw other fairs being created, in the Jungle included. In 2528, the Zoraï Alliance organized the first fair. They were far away from Tryker binges. *smiles* Wongfeihung even ran a portrait booth while Origami ran a stand of dating between singles with a haikus contest. https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=14826&highlight=foire+d% 27avendale https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=15239
– Oh? That's definitely the Zorai, dark horses behind their mask! Were there other fairs elsewhere?
– The Matis were too focused on preparing for weddings and the Fyros were focused on tournaments preparation. But these are other stories. *smiles*Night teenies.
– Bankun seamstress.

The Temples and Elias

"Let's go! Tonight, it's time for the exciting adventure of the temples.
– Ahhhh!!!! At last!
– It all started in the year 2481 with the Greaty Swarming... *laughs at seeing their stunned looks* Naay, was joking!. *laughs* I will start in 2528, when Elias Guild appeared to homins to tell them that Elias was not dead. It reminded them that he had saved the homins from certain death facing the kitins, during the Great Swarming, by escaping through the "Rainbow Gates". It also foretold a great plague to come, a sacred war between the great powers... https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=15206&highlight=elias.
– In 2529, we were going about our usual business. At that time we saw tournaments spring up here and there. One took place in Pyr to find the most valiant desert warriors, and another in Lakes organized by Licena. Everything was calm.... https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=19888.
– Then, in 2530, rumors were heard spreading on the Bark. There were calls for census everywhere. Each leader called on the guilds of his country for them to choose whether or not they would follow him in his action without knowing what was cooking up for the next phase. The atmosphere became heavy....

– The troops were equipping themselves, litlle by little. The crafters and foragers worked day and night. We were all getting ready but we didn't know for what.... http://fr.wiki.ryzom.com/wiki/L%E2%80%99appel_des_Puissances.
– It was then that various meetings were held, of which one has been decisive for many homins.... https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=18814&highlight=temple https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=18999.
– It took place in Fairhaven. Niccho spoke for Elias: neutral guilds should choose their way, either follow a camp or follow Elias' advice that was to hide in the ranks in order to balance forces.... https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=19132&highlight=temple.
– Appeals were heard from all sides. That's then appeared the OPUA and held a meeting in Windermeer reminding that the priority was the homin, not some deity.... https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=19102&highlight=harmonie .
– I'm sorry about teenies, but I have a big order to complete tomorrow. I have to get up early. We'll stop here for tonight.
*Elea heard a general "Oh" of discontent but she was feeling tired after this intense day of foraging, and, yawning, said:*
"Night teenies, the following tomorrrow!"

The Temples and Elias (continued)

"So, come on, let's go back to temple warfare.
– Yeah, you left us a bit hungry for more yesterday.
– The battles began in the Aelius Dunes. Desert foragers worked to harvest as much solid material as possible to build their temple while the warriors defended their camp. Unfortunately, as resources were running out, the materials had to be fetched further away in the Old Lands.
So we went to Olkern Lake. There, we were quite surprised because the foraging was still that of the desert. But after all, it was still sawdust that was under our feet. But, again, the resources were not abundant enough.
We had to go even further, to Almati Wood. Here, once again, desert foragers were favored. Nothing was no use, the drillers were falling asleep on their pickaxes, the warriors got up to defend their plot of sawdust. Speeches of encouragement were even delivered.
http://fr.wiki.ryzom.com/wiki/Discours_de_l%27envoy%C3%A9_des_Kam is_%C3%A0_Pyr#Elias_Tryton.
Day and night, battles were fought. There were even rolls of honor where you could read great names of craftsmen such as Keewi, Kyo, Tsoukasa, or foragers such as Iah, Silicia, Lost, Bratakk, or warriors such as Gemma, Matsu, Damakian, but also guilds who became known as Les Jardins d'Atys (Gardens of Atys), Les Seigneurs de l'Aube (Lords of the Dawn), La Glorieuse Atys (The Glorious Atys), La Fédération du Commerce (Trade Federation), La Ballade d'Atys (Ballad of Atys)... oh dear, all those guilds that fought day and night. How can one blame them today?
– Blame them? *staring at her with an amazed look*
– Yep, because many of us were not taking part in those battles. I was one of them, just like the Amazons.
https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=19400&highlight=discours +kami.
But, young and curious, I visited both parties. In one, there were beautiful blue lights and there I have been chased and beaten up by warriors like Misugi, Meteer and Req *laughs*. In the other one, there were nice yellow lights. Here too, I was beaten by Lilithe, Dorcile, Belldandy, Mysticus and many other friends. On that day, I understood that their faith in their god was stronger than me. I then returned to the path of the Grove of Confusion to forage, far from this rage, of this hatred I was seeing everywhere. Well, we'll stop there for the night. *smiles*
– Ohhhh, already? Ah, yes: 3:00 in the morning, still! Banrund the seamstress.
– Night teenies."

The Temples and Elias (end)

"Here we are again with the story of the temples. So, where were we?
– You were getting beaten up. *laughs*
– Oh, yes! The visit of both sides. So I visited these Old Lands but there were there only homins fighting. When enough resources had been collected to build the temples, the battles stopped. The construction of the temples was made near each capital city... https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=19731.
Following the construction of the temples, came the outposts, platforms rewarding our battles during the war. Only there wasn't enough for everyone. So, as I have already told you, there was a cloud of homins on mektoubback flying faster than their shadows, to be the first on each outpost. It has even been said that some large houses have squared the areas; such as the 12 houses of Yrkanis that have shared the Forest among themselves...
As rumours ran around that there were some trytonist meetings, https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=19780, https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=20518 others rumours were spreading about the hunt for trytonists hidden in the ranks of the Kara and Kami guilds. https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=20268 https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=20012.
– Was that when the Circle protected you? Even though they had seen you on the opposing side during the war?
– Oh yes ! *sourit* Shen and I were planning our wedding.
– What! You were beaten up by his folks and you married him nevertheless?
– Yes, the Circle was faithful to Jena but they all granted that I was a pick head* they liked.
– So you're a trytonist?
– Me? *sourit* I am an homina, That's already quite much. So let's resume: during this famous Fairhaven meeting, Nicho advised the trytonists to stay hidden and indicated that the safest place was the Lakes, where homins are most open-minded... http://ryzom.kervala.net/logs/2005-12-30%20Reunion%20Guilde%20d%2 7Elias.txt.
But the trytonists wanted more, they didn't want to stay hidden for a thousand years, they didn't want to be pacifists who don't equip OPs with drills, and who miss out on beautiful, precious materials. They decided for a next meeting, far from the cities, in Darkmoor, in the Cave of Love.
– Oh, the Cave of Love, that's a funny name.
– Yes, many couples were coming there to chat *smiles* or get married.
– Did you get married there with your Shen?
– Nope, we didn't like the Lakes and Shen was faithful to his forest. After all, we all had our memories there.
– Did they have OP, those trytonists?
– Yes, and other neutrals too. From memory, in each country there was a neutral OP: in the Desert, it was MVG who owned it, in the Lakes, the guild Harmonie. And thereafter they distributed their harvest in marketplaces open to all. We'll talk about it later. Going back to the trytonists, I heard that there have been other meetings.... https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=20616.
And in 2532 a rumour was spreading that they were recruiting.... https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=21950.
But, after Still Wyler's death, they became more discreet and most certainly more distrustful. I think some homins still try to get in touch with them. But that's them who choose you.... "http://fr.wiki.ryzom.com/wiki/A_l%E2%80%99origine http://fr.wiki.ryzom.com/wiki/Hiaoi,_Chercheuse_d%E2%80%99Elias http://fr.wiki.ryzom.com/wiki/Guilde_d%27Elias"

[HRP] Obviously, all the urls are given in order to offer you players, readers of Elea's memoirs, details that, of course, Elea does not talk about to the young guards of the marauder camp. [/HRP]

*Note of the translator: Perhaps "thick head" would have been a more accurate translation of "tête de pioche", but, as the pickaxe ("pioche") is for Eleanide something like an emblem, "pick head" was preferred.

The Outposts

*Elea was barely set on the root that she used as her seat, that a question was already being asked.*
"Bankun, the seamstress. Look, yesterday you said Elias asked not to set up drillers on OPs. They listened to him?
– Well, I can only remember a few without a driller, but I don't remember which ones. *smiles to keep the names quiet* Eventually, the materials were far too sought after not to install them. And to balance the forces, it was wiser to set one up. In any case, even OPs without a driller were attacked. There were some famous battles where the guilds fought each other. I still remember this OP of the Bog. This was my last participation on the battlefield before long.
– Ah?
– Yes, the Circle attacked a kara OP in the Bog. The Karas fought each other... https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=20334
Despite my ties to them, I couldn't accept it. Shen had hesitated to join. Alas! It was his duty to follow his owns. In the distance, the Marcheurs d'Atys (Atys Walkers) were watching. I joined them. The Alkiane were facing the Circle and all its allies. It was heartbreaking. https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=20437
– But why such a rebellion?
– Well now, *sighs* the thirst for power. Lilithe was willing an outpost in the Forest. She wanted a turnover of owners on OPs. But the owners of the OPs wanted to keep them preciously. In the end, each OP had its own driller. The so precious materials and the catalysts rained.
– But catalysts are useless!
– At that time, it allowed us to boost our memory and our actions to learn faster. Better than shooki, this stuff. I was addicted to it at one time, a true narcotic that has been of awful cost for me.
– Awful cost? https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=28026
– Yes! Yes! There were distributions, sales of the drillers' harvest. The Ordre du Métal (Order of Metal), for instance, organized a sale on its OP each week. Kress has been reliable as long as he could.
– He was giving to everyone?
– He was giving, selling to the Karas and the so-called neutrals. And, after each OP battle, the attacked guild, saved, thanked the participants... https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=20765
Even nowadays, the guilds redistribute, share or trade their harvests. Come on! On this, I'm gonna go back to my apartment and redecorate it. Lutrykin just dropped me off some bric-a-brac. Night teenies.
– Banrund, the seamstress.

The Markets

"Bankun Elea.
– Kikoo, teenies. As I told you, precious materials were coming so thick and fast that over time, markets appeared. The second black market was created.
– Oh ! The second ?
– Yes, the first one was so secret I heard about it too late... https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=24890
So, for the next one, we saw posters displayed everywhere by the guild of the Œil des Bas-Fonds (The Eye of the Cesspool). There a little of everything was to be found... https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=24865
Then came up the market organized in Yrkanis by the Jardins d'Atys (The Gardens of Atys).
– Oh! They were trading on black market, too?
– Nay.*laughs* This was the first official market in the Forest, which took place once a week. The Gardeners were selling there what their OPs produced... https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=28649
Others followed, of course. https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=28805 https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=29082
– Yep! I heard about a marketplace in Fairhaven. https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=31802
– Yes, this one gathered several guilds, such as the Garde des Dragons Noirs (The Guard of the Black Dragon), and crafters like Kiwalie, Djiper, me and later Stcentor. We took orders for armour and weapons of all kinds and were delivering them within a week. I think it was the market that lasted the longest. I had a lot of light and medium armour orders from refugees but also for special occasions such as birthdays, weddings...
– Ah! Speaking about weddings, when yours took place?
– We'll see about that some other time.*smiles* In the meantime, don't forget: the next black market is coming soon. Let your ears hang out. Night teenies.
– Banrund, the seamstress

Gear

"To get back to the market, the young ones didn't need any guild if you were equipping them through these markets?
– Houla! A guild isn't just here to equip you. It is a family, that passes on its knowledge to you, that teaches you how to place yourself for heal and not take more aggro. And then, in the markets, our clients were also hunters who didn't like to forage.
– Ah! Well, I'm not the only one who doesn't like digging.*a young guard laughs*
– There was no shortage of crafters… https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=21069
We didn't have to forage or craft to get equipment. But in 2529, the higher authorities told us that the jewels could give other protections and that heavy armours would no longer allow to dodge… https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=18355
Like many crawlers, I had to revisit my recipes. The jewellers were the ones who had the most research work to do… Poor ones… Many gave up and left after these changes. Everything was speeded up with the temples.
– Where were they going?
– Wherever their services would be better recognized. They went through the Roots to other Barks. Mearthis, a great jeweler of the Cercle, was one of those who took the Roots. Molitor, a great armor maker, did the same as well as many other crafters. I had to rebuild a new network of crafters with whom I used ti barter foraged materials to equip myself.
– You were bartering?
– Yeah, and I wasn't the only one… https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=21547&highlight=mearthis
I used to give my harvest of drilled material to the craftsmen. Thus, they improved on another craft and I recovered armors and weapons to hunt.
– Oh, that's cool: you didn't need dappers, so.
– Yes, I exchanged everything against my foraging services. It has been only a lot later, in 2542, when the crafters came to miss, that I told myself: "Come on, you gotta grow up li'l gal."… https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=32219
Since then, I've become a true seamstress. I learned a little bit of this and that. But that's another story. Night teenies.
- Banrund

Atys games

- Hey seamstress, are you doing the Atys games?
- Kikoo the youngsters. Yes, I'm discovering them.
- You've never done them?
- Not that I remember. There was a fairly old project dating back to 2526. Some wanted the event to be open to all: hunters, wrestlers, drillers, runners, etc.
https://bb.ryzom.com/viewtopic.php?t=8883&highlight=Nouvelle+ Feuille+d%27Atys
- Skirt-chasers? I'm good at that *says a guard who immediately receives a blow from his neighbor*.
- There were various projects, some of which came to fruition. In 2560, for example, the Atysiades included a triathlon around Fh and a F-yubo-al|. http://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/11829/8# 8
I've been told that the yubo ball at these Atysiades was a little different. *smiles* a little less fairplay.
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xpk29g_ryzom-les-atysiades-2012- premiere-partie_videogames
There were also the 4 Nations tournaments. But I'll tell you about them at the same time as the tournaments. *smiles* another evening.

For this year's Atys games on Silan, the new refugees are learning to cook and brew in preparation for our festivities. They'll be making rendor stew and brewing beer. Steward Yi Shi-Dashi is on hand to keep an eye on things.
http://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/27490/1
- Bha, I'm good at tasting beers, can I go help them? *says a newly arrived young guard*.
- And nha no way back to Silan. But you can do the three mainland races, if you like. There's a foot race from Yrkanis to Pyr, and a toub race just outside Zora. Misugi loved this toub race. And the last race is a triathlon. It starts at Windermeer farm. I'd advise you not to load up here, as you might end up drinking the cup.
Other animations include the famous Yubo Ball. But I must admit, Siela is much better at coaxing yubos than I am. I'm sure he had a few treats in his pockets... that trickster of a big blue.
The other animation is the fires of atys, but nha not the guild of MVG *smiles*. This event takes place in the Matis arena. You have to keep a fire burning in the face of attackers, be they homins or mobs. The arena is splendid during these games. Be sure to check it out.
Go for it! I wish you all good racing, and stay dignified and respectful of your mount.

"Bankun the seamstress *says a young guard with a pout*.
- Kikoo la d'jeun. Bha why this mine?
- Hey! Is it true you're packing?
- Yes, I'm sorry, but I don't belong here anymore. Oshimaru must have left by the roots, I think. I only came to the camp to be by his side. You know your strict rules: it's forbidden to mix or hunt with a homin if he's not a marauder.
- Well, what about us? *says another young guard* Don't we count?
- I'm going to miss you d'jeuns and these wakes too.
- Bah, yes! You didn't tell us about your weddings.... and the arrival of Bipbip. *caressing the yubo who ran to him when he heard his name and gave him a lick*.
- Yes, I see you've also adopted Bipbip [i]*smiles*. But I'm not a marauder, you know that. Have you seen me hunting with you? Did I follow your lead? No, I'm just being myself. Oshi hasn't come back from his trip, but I promised him I wouldn't leave the Ecorce, that I'd be there by his side. I guess I didn't mean that much to him. Once again, my heart played a trick on me.
- Will you come back to see us? Oh no, I'm stupid *says a guard, tapping his forehead*. The old folks won't let you in.
- Bah! Who's going to do the wakes for us?
- I'll be back to see you, don't worry. What I propose... *reflects*
- We give you a free pass, yes! That's right. *says a young man with conviction
- But no, silly, old people will never *a young guard replies. She's not a marauder, she doesn't pass by.
- Oh, I know, I'll mail you my stories. *looking at his yubo* and Bipbip delivers them to you. How does that sound?
- Wait, I'll go see the old man. *sees a young guard running towards the tent of the camp's wise man*.
- Where are you going? The seamstress
- I stay in the desert *smiles*. Pecus offered to rent me a room. I hope the sunbathers don't make a fuss when I get back. The tower guards know me well. I've got a hall there.
- Bah! If things don't work out, call us and we'll come and beat the shit out of those unshaven bastards! *said a young man in a huff
- Hihi z'êtes gentil les d'jeuns. But don't get into trouble. Pecus will help me and I still have a few privileges. I buy my gazette there, I get my barrels of shooki there, and I have my stock there. I'll be all right. *she said, remembering that on her last visit, a young fyros had called her a matis*.. I'll have to tame them again.
- Hey dressmaker *said the young guard running back*. The wise man agrees about Bipbip, but he wants to see you before you leave.
- I'll be off then, as Kalista and my pack toubs are ready." *heading for the wise man's tent

Elea rentra d'un pas décidé dans la tente, s'inclina devant le sage et s'assit en face de lui.
" Bankun Eleanide. Alors, un petit vient de me confirmer ton départ. Il n'était pas très content. Je suis désolé que tu n'es pas trouvé ami ici.
- Si j'en ai retrouvée, j'en ai rencontrée. Mais, Oshi n'est pas revenu, et, je n'ai pas ma place ici. Les jeunes n'ont p&s besoin de moi. Ils savent très bien ce qu'ils devront faire plus grands: défendre leur camp avec ferveur. Ils savent qu'il ne faut pas être assujetti à la kara et aux kamis. Ils veulent, tous, être libres.
- Je ne comprend pas, ça n'est pas ce que tu voulais aussi? *dit le sage avec un sourire*
- Si, mais...je ne veux pas être isolée de tous. Je veux continuer à voir mes amis, quel qui soit. Je ne veux pas tourner le dos à Kiwalie car elle est ranger. Elle fut très étonnée de me voir rester si longtemps au camp. Je ne veux pas tourner le dos à mes amis que j'ai rencontré lors de mon passage dans les camps Kami et Kara.Ils sont si peu à m'accepter tel que je suis.
- Dis toi bien que certains n'admettront jamais qu'ils sont aveuglés. La liberté n'est pas de suivre les KK ou même un roi. Si un jour, tu comprends çà, tu reviendras et cette fois tu essaieras de t'intégrer. En attendant, l'entrée du camp te sera refusée. Je vais devoir trouver quelqu'un d'autre pour les petits *grommele*. Tu vas leurs manquer, ils aimaient bien tes histoires du passé.
- Oui! Ils vont me manquer aussi *baisse la tête* mais je ne peux rester ici. Je veux pouvoir aller voir mes amis en ville, acheter quelques mp ci et là. Je sais que vous avez toléré que je continue à aider tous. Je sais aussi que vous avez été déçu que je ne vienne pas vous soutenir sur les avant-postes ou dans vos combats. Mais, ce ne sont pas les miens. Je me bat que contre les kittins.
- Tu vas aller où? Personne ne voudra de toi, après ton passage ici.
- Pecus va me loger un temps, jusqu'à ce que je puisse prendre un appartement.
- Ce vieu fou, il est toujours en vie?
- Oui *sourit* fidèle à son poste. Il m'a toujours fourni en shooki, la meilleur d'Atys *lui tend une flask*
- Ah oui toujours aussi bonne sa shooki *buvant de cette liqueur qui lui rappelait le passé et comprenant pourquoi elle repartait*. Salues-le de ma part...ce vieux bougre.
- Voulez vous que je lui transmette un message?
- Non...le passé est le passé. Je n'ai plus rien à voir avec tout çà. Ils comprendront un jour. Allez! files avec tes toubs et déposes ta clef de chambrée à l'entrée. Je te donne une heure, pas plus, pour partir. Et, pour Bipbip, tu as ma parole que rien ne lui sera fait. Allez! Bon vent" *dit le sage se levant et quittant la tente*
Elea se leva, elle entendait le sage dire aux jeunes gardes de rentrer dans la caserne. Elle sortit de la tente et ne croisa aucun regard. Elle vit que ses toubs étaient prêt à partir. Elle jeta un coup d'oeil sur le camp, mais, personne en vue. Elle grimpa sur Kalista, salua les gardes de l'entrée et redonna sa clef. Le vieu garde lui arracha des mains sans lui rendre son salut et tappa sur la croupe de la monture. Elea ne se retourna pas, filant vers le désert fyros.

*sourit et fait un gros kisu à son amie*

Excellentes ''mémoires'' , j'ai tout suivi, tout y est pour garder l'attention et très bien écrit...

Merci ''la couturière'' pour ce beau récit... d'homine.

hrp: chut c'est pas fini :) , suspens.... la suite demain :) quoi j'ai pas envie de recevoir des pioches car Elea a pas raconté ses mariages. Mais merci :)

Une page se tourne (fin)

La route fut courte jusqu'à Thesos mais Eleanide songeait: que vais-je faire? Pour la deuxième fois de sa vie, elle avait le choix. Elle avait déjà une proposition pour revenir au camp kami. Mais, elle préférait rester seule. Peut-être allait-elle visiter le camp ranger. Tous lui disaient qu'il était pour elle. Et puis, elle ne l'avait pas visité. Depuis son retour de voyage, elle sentait que ce groupe n'était pas très uni. Elea rentrait dans Thesos. Elle tomba sur Pecus qui l'attendait.
"Ah te voilà, je me suis dit: ça y est, la petite a changé d'avis.
- Non! je devais partir. J'ai bien compris que ça n'était pas pour moi...mais, les petits, y sont si ... *baissant le regard*
- Tu verras, ici, il y a des grands qui le sont autant *lui donnant un coup de coude et clin d'œil*
- Pecus, ralala...Incorrigible. Dis? tu as trouvé la gazette?
- Attend on va déjà t'installer à la tour"
Il prit les rênes des toubs de bât et l'accompagna. Elea restait silencieuse. Elle redoutait ce moment. Certes, elle rendait visite à Kiwalie, son amie, à Theya sa gardienne, à Kity, sa nièce. Mais, elle redoutait de croiser les légionnaires. Elle croisait bien Naveruss au bar mais, elle l'ignorait. Pecus sentait qu'elle n'allait pas bien.
"Hey poussez-vous les d'jeuns, mon invitée est là. Allez la petite, files là-d'dans que je te montre ta chambre. Juste à côté de la mienne. *lui donnant une petite tape sur le popotin pour qu'elle rentre* Quoi? fait pas cette mine surprise. S'ils croient que tu es mienne, ils te ficheront la paix."
Elea sourit et se dit qu'il avait pensé à tout. Ce vieux Pecus lui servait déjà la shooki quand elle chassait ici, sur le pont. Il ya si longtemps qu'ils se connaissaient qu'amitié est apparut au fil du temps. A chaque parution de la gazette, c'est ensemble qu'ils la lisaient, éclatant de rire en voyant le mauvais goût vestimentaire de certains ou quand elle reconnut Robplus, nu comme un yubo. Ah! et le jour où parut le pyjama de Nilstilar, Pecus avait bien taquiné Elea.
"Au fait, les livreurs sont passés pour tes meubles, tu en as du bazar, dis donc.
- Euh oui bah, tu sais, je déménage si souvent que j'y suis attachée. Et puis, je ne fus pas nommée la livreuse de rybambel pour rien: deux fois de suite, sous le nez de Djiper, le vieu bougon...hihi
- Bah! on m'a dit qu'il ronchonnait toujours.
- S'il ne ronchonne pas, ces'v qu'il est malade.
