i'm a new soul; [open]
Who: Ryu and open!
Which: Depends on prompt!
Where: In Reverein and in dreams!
What: Ryu's shopping and reading! He's also dreaming!
Warnings: Childlike idiocy? Also mention of (child) death, destruction, and general violence in the dream portion.
attention shoppers
Ryu has gone shopping before, but mostly for supplies. Now that he has his own place (at the insistance of a few other people) he has to shop... for the house. This is a kind of shopping he's never had to do before, so when he steps into several stores he feels a bit overwhelmed. You might find him peering curiously at a coffee table as he wonders why people need a whole table for one beverage, or perhaps you might find him staring at a broom, trying to figure out how to hold it... not like a sword. He's never had to clean up after himself in that kind of way, so he has no idea how to use it.
It's not his fault - he's mostly slept either outside or in inns his entire existence. He knows he has to be responsible, but he's just not sure how
learn me a book
Or perhaps you'll find him at the Tree of Stories, sitting and trying to read out a book. He's reading out loud, so it's not hard to find him - though the book he's reading appears to be made for children. ... He's still having trouble with it nonetheless, but he's forging on regardless. His brow is furrowed in concentration as he tries to get through some of the harder words. Should someone approach him he'll look up and smile a little bashfully.
"S - sorry. Was I being too loud?"
He was trying not to - he doesn't want to be inconsiderate! But he's been told that reading things out loud is one of the best ways to work out a word. ... And there's a lot of words he doesn't know.
that empty feeling
But not all of Ryu's time is spent awake. Some of it is spent asleep, and his dreams aren't exactly peaceful. No, this one in fact is quite awful - an empty feeling pervading the whole scene. And what a scene it is.
It's bodies, scattered across the ground in front of him. Close to a dozen of them, with one of them on the ground in front of Ryu. The area around him is foggy, though the remnants of a village seem to be beyond the fog. It's hard to make out anything though, and to those sensitive to nightmare or negative energy, the whole place smells (metaphorically) fishy.
Ryu, for his part, is kicking the corpse in front of him, growling at it. There's an answering growl from within the fog, but he doesn't seem to notice or care.
"Why? Why them?! Why this? Is this what you wanted when you wanted to capture me? Is this - is this what you wanted to get out of it?!" His voice is strained, as if he's been yelling at the dead man for a while. He doesn't seem to notice anyone initially - he's clearly more focused on whatever happened here.

Sorry, I... yes. I can sense it. I didn't mean to be rude, but... I just... wanted to know. I only appeared a few months ago...
I'm an Endless. Or half of one, at least.
no subject
'Tis fine, you have no need to worry.
[ Estinien eyes the broom in Ryu's hands, still being held like a sword... he'll come back to that. Their discussions regarding dragon-kin is far more important than how to properly use a broom. ]
I'm afraid I know not what an Endless is. [ A pause ] I am familiar with dragons, however, as I've fought against them and alongside them in my own world.
no subject
[Well. Someone with experience fighting dragons might be helpful if he loses control again...]
Where I came from, dragons are beings summoned from another world. They have immense power and are called Endless. They're worshiped as gods.
[So 'our dragons are different', but still dragons.]
My... um. My summoning went wrong. Which is why I'm half of one.
no subject
They have great power in my world, as well, though they're not worshipped as gods... And they certainly aren't summoned as if they're naught but a primal.
[ After a brief pause, Estinien takes the broom and holds it properly, demonstrating the sweeping motion. ]
Here, like this.
[ He hands the broom to Ryu, folding his arms across his chest waiting for him to actually use it properly. He'll get around to telling more about himself, and he'll answer any questions about his blood should they arise... but he's far more interested in learning of dragons from other worlds. ]
no subject
Thank you... I've had to learn a lot of things very quickly... and I've never been on my own before.
no subject
[ He watches Ryu sweep with a small smile on his face. ]
Tell me more of the dragons in your world. You said they are summoned and worshipped as gods?
no subject
[Oh! Hm. He nods at the question.]
The Endless move the world and the world moves with them, it's said. They carry out the acts that their summoners bring them for and then stay to watch the world. I don't... know what my other half was brought in for, so I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
no subject
[ He pauses, folding his arms across his chest as he listens to the explanation about the Endless. It's... different, a far departure from the dragons he is used to in his own world, but it does remind him of how the beast tribes would summon a primal. ]
So, you were meant to be an Endless and now you're... simply a hyur with dragon blood?
no subject
But when I meet my other half I'll be complete. ... And the more powerful one is going to absorb the weaker one.
[Which he does... not sound confident about.]
