Kiht Jakkya was mentally and physically drained when Pyralis arrived. When he suddenly grabbed her, and moved her aside, she was shocked to see him, but did not outwardly show it. “P-Pyralis?†Kiht asked in a meek tone.
She watched him as he went to work on Lyn, and gave him the Elixir. Kiht didn't immediately seem hopeful. A regular potion would not save Lyn. She thought that he might even already be dead. She just couldn't process what was going on quickly enough. It was all happening so fast, and she felt as if she had failed.
She should have never let Lyn do this, she thought to herself. She could have stopped him. Could have ordered her clan to restrain him. Could have not gone along with his plan at all. She knew he wasn't invincible, but it seemed nothing short of something like this would teach him otherwise. However, that was a lesson she'd rather not have him pay for with his life.
On the other hand, Kiht didn't believe in taking away his freedom. Even if she could, it would not be what someone does to a person they love. So, she accepted his plan. She expected him to be more cautious. She should have known better. So many conflicting thoughts were in her head.
However, she was quickly snapped out of her trance-like state when Lyn let out a cough, reached for her and called her nick-name. Vekker, it meant 'beautiful one' in some exotic Hyur language. Lyn was not a Moon-keeper with a traditional upbringing, but that was another story. For now, Kiht could do nothing more but move closer so that he could touch her face, and she also gently touched his. “Lyn, I ...†Kiht said but was cut short by a loud noise on the roof above. She looked up to regard the mysterious Hyur who had shouted at them to run. Then he started doing something that Kiht didn't understand at first. He started attacking the incoming Brass Blades.
Kiht's mouth went agape in shock as he shot arrows at the law enforcement. She started to get furious. What in the Seven Hells was he doing!? She thought. Then Lyn's hands went weak, he still looked unable to move on his own. Kiht's attention was diverted back to Lyn for a moment. He needed further aid, but the Brass Blades would offer interrogation, and likely, imprisonment if they captured him. It was too obvious that Lyn was involved in what ever happened there. Still, Kiht could not justify the killing of Brass Blades who were only doing their jobs.
“Cease, you damned Hyur! The Brass Blades were not attacking us, and are not our enemies!†Kiht shouted to Malgoth, but to no avail. The Hyur with the bow just started shouting at them more; urging them to run away.
Kiht regarded Pyralis then regarded Lyn. All that ultimately mattered to her was getting Lyn to safety and treatment. The plan could be damned for all she cared, but Malgoth had already angered the Brass Blades. They would likely come in swinging their swords, and then ask questions later. Kiht was now forced to escape with Lyn, Pyralis and the body of the Sun-sister.
She pulled out her aetheryte shard that she thought would be spent by now. Maybe one more time. She only needed it to work one more time! She looked to Pyralis. “Are you going to come with us?†She asked him in an urgent tone.
If he answered yes, she would grab him by the arm or hand then grab Lyn's arm; holding them both at the same time. The Sun-sister was already laying on Lyn's legs so she was making contact too. If Pyralis answered no, Kiht would give him a nod, and say “I -will- repay you for this, Pyralis.†In a sincere tone. The vigor had returned to Kiht. Lyn had hope of surviving now. All Kiht had to do now was make the shard work.
She thought of Gridania, or Bentbranch Medows. However, nothing happened. She prayed to Menphina again, but that didn't seem like it was going to work a second time. “Gods damn it! One more time you worthless shard!†Kiht shouted in frustration. Suddenly, it hit her. Someplace closer! Perhaps she could get it to work if the distance wasn't so far. She just needed to get out of the city. Somewhere in Thanalan would work.
Kiht thought of Camp Drybone. Not an ideal place, but better than where they were. And, at that, the shard glowed slightly with a blue light. The vortex opened, and sucked them in right as Malgoth was charging at the Brass Blades.
At Camp Drybone, Kiht would tell the guards that they were a group of adventurers who had a horrible run-in with Amalj'aa. She would pay the guards to not ask any further questions, and pay for the aetheryte travel from Drbone to Bentbranch Meadows. It took almost all the gil Kiht had on her person. However, after the arrival in Bnetbranch, Kiht would call to her clan over a personal linkpearl she had just for keeping in contact with them. They arrived to aid Kiht and Lyn. However, there was nothing that could be done for the Sun-seeker girl. If Pyralis had come to either Drybone or Bentbranch with them, she would once again thank him. Not realizing that Pyralis had done what he did to repay a dept to Kiht, she would tell him that she was now in his dept. She had no idea how important that Elixir was to him, but she felt she owed him, nonetheless. Kiht would take Lyn to the rented hut in Greentear, and begin helping him recover.
