Continuing on in his journey across Charon, Rinn would come to find himself standing within the city of Darkveil. Given the events that transpired with the dragon god Vulcadreaus, a good chunk of property within the city had found itself torn asunder. In order to try and return the city back to its original glorious manner, various people from across the lands had come here to offer their services. Unlike many of these people, however, Rinn hadn't come here with the intention of making any sort of coin or for some kind of reward. To Rinn, the very act of assisting these people was enough to be considered training. And that training was all that he needed at the moment. After all.. If he couldn't test out these new bodily implements of his than what use did they have?

With all of that having been the case, Rinn had currently found himself working alongside a few of the locals of Darkveil. With his arms having been pressed overhead, Rinn had been transporting a pallet of bricks from one area to another. Such an act had a high capacity for damaging ones arms and yet.. This didn't seem to be a concern that Rinn had had. In fact, given the unique nature of his arms, Rinn wasn't worried about suffering a break of any sorts within these bones of his. It was through this that he would perform a bout of training after all. While he had still suffered pain, his arms would never break. One had to know how far they could push themselves before truly learning the limits of their body.

Description: Darkveil was hit the hardest during the events of Vulcadreaus, with many of its inhabitants having fled the destruction. Now that things have calmed, people are moving back, only to find their city is in shambles. An effort has been put in place by locals, with help from those who remain of the Ashen Father gangs, to fix the city up. Assistance is being requested, with a long list of things to be done. Buildings are toppled, chunks of them missing, the ground has been split and ripped apart, with the streets filled with displaced and homeless. Whatever you can do to help, it will be accepted. Help rebuild the city, or offer food and water to the displaced. Clean the streets or help bring supplies in from other cities. No task is too small.

Percival hummed as he worked on carrying some light equipment around pausing as he noticed the other carrying a whole pallet of bricks, his eyes widening in amazement before a smirk appeared upon his lips. He then moved to walk next to the other, smirk remaining as he began to speak “my aren’t you strong?” He questioned looking the other over from head to toe “and not bad looking either~ tell me handsome what’s your name?” He asked tilting his head a little. The man was a strange mix of tiefling and human. He was a decent height and rather lean. Of course he had come here to help but also to get paid and look at the hot men around. It was pretty easy to be pleased with the results of this endeavor as quite a few people had caught his eye. This one however interested him the most currently.

As he awaited a reply he walked alongside the other, a sway of his hips with each step as he wondered what the other did and where they were from. He loved learning about others, thinking back to the man he met in the desert when the earthquakes began. My that one was fun

A purple tinge of blush would overtake the Moon Elf's cheeks as he had continued on his journey to deliver this pallet. While he hadn't actually had the strength the carelessly carry such a weight, he had done so without the worry of his arms breaking. That was the only reason that he could so confidently move with such a burden weighing upon him. Of course, this wasn't something that he would tell the man beside him. Instead, he would simply return the smirk that the man had offered him before speaking in turn. "That I am~" A bit of a soft laugh would escape from the Moon Elf's lips at this point, followed by a few more words. "The name is Rinntoki but most refer to me simply as Rinn. And yourself?"

Taking a quick moment to adjust the weight of the pallet, since he could unfortunately still feel pain within these skeletal arms of his, Rinn would continue at an even pace. "It's not every day that one such as yourself approaches me, you know. An alluring beauty with such fascinating tattoos." Thankfully it wouldn't take too much longer for the pair to arrive at Rinn's predetermined location. Once they had gotten there, Rinn would carefully lower himself and allow for the pallet to gently roll from his arms to the ground. The moment that he knew the pallet was successfully placed upon the ground, in it's entirety, Rinn would pull back and perform a few stretches. A foolish notion, given that his arms were just bone, but one that he was all too used to doing after carrying such a heavy weight.

Percival smirk widened at the others blush and reaction as he kept pace “I am percival but you may call me whatever you wish handsome~” he replied with a quick wink. “Oh my you have quite the compliments hm?” He chuckled softly “you can see more of my tattoos later maybe” he said still in a flirtatious tone.percivak examined the others arms curiously but didn’t seem particularly bothered by it as he looked back to the others face “you just here to help out darling?” He questioned curiously as he set the supplies down he had carried over for people. It wasn’t anything big or overly heavy but it was something at least. He was merely enjoying the views of the day and flirting with those of intrigue like his new target-or I mean- interest here.

This person before him seemed to have quite the story to tell and it wasn’t every day you saw a moon elf or at least in his experience. He was a strange one himself being a tiefling human mix, his mother having been tiefling and his father being human. He never once felt self conscious about his features however even if it did get some strange looks on ocassion

A sharp nod would be offered to the man as Rinn had taken the opportunity to close the distance between the two of them. He would only stop when they were inches away, his gaze remaining firmly locked upon Percival's own. A soft smile had rested upon his lips as he tested the waters with the man, hoping to see just how far the man was willing to go with his compliments. After all, who didn't enjoy hearing positive things about themselves?

"Well... I suppose that you could say that." His gaze would then run down along Percival's frame before returning to the mans gaze. "Helping out however I can whilst I'm here, in addition to getting a bit of a workout in. Albeit there are quite a few other ways in which one can achieve said workout." A laugh would proceed to escape from the moon elf's lips as he quickly took a step back. "Who knows though? Maybe I've only decided to stick around thanks to a certain tattooed individual offering to show me what they have on display~" His words were teasing and playful but were surely a jest. He enjoyed to interact with others like this, whenever they permitted it, so why not enjoy himself alongside another?

Having completed the stretches that he had set out to do, Rinn would now turn around and bend over, reaching down to unsnap the binding that was currently holding the slab of bricks in place. Once this was done, he would stand back up to his full height before heading back off to collect a few other pallets. Whilst walking away, he would gesture for Percival to follow after him with a single skeletal finger. "Or perhaps I'm simply here to get a bit of work done. I suppose there's no real way of telling now is there?"

Percival's grin widened as the other closed the distance and stopped before him with a grin of his own. It was certainly a nice and pleasant turn of events in his opinion. "Oh? Well perhaps we can help each other out if it you want to show me this other work out you're talking about" He replied with a slight chuckle rather enjoying the conversation and if it led farther that was just a bonus on his part "Do stick around darling~" he gave a little wink

He watched as the other set down the pallet and followed as he was beckoned for the moment at least. "Oh? how heartless to play with ones heart like that~ Not bad" he remarked surprised but rather enjoying the others company and attitude. It was a breath of fresh air to meet someone like this as most were hardly ever this fun to be around and were either shy and quiet or direct and straight to the point, both not quite as fun in his experience. This however, was something new and peaked his interest quite a bit for the time being at least. "tell me about yourself darling I would love to hear more"

"What is there to know, really? All that there really is to know about me, Percival, is that I'm good at what I set my mind towards doing~ Whether that be simple acts or more.. in depth ones." Having said his piece at the moment, until asked another question of a similar variety, Rinn would continue on towards one of the larger carts within the area. Given the current location of said cart, it was evident as to why Rinn was assisting in the manner that he was. This cart, that seemingly held several resources for rebuilding the city, had been too large to fit through the road that Rinn had been transporting goods through! While it might fit if people were to move their stalls and the like, that much wasn't guaranteed. Besides the stalls, in which people were selling off their goods for Solars, the street had also been lined with tents of the unhoused. All in all, it would be far too difficult for the cart to fit down this road.

Once the pair had made it to said cart, Rinn would replicate his previous act and grab a hold of another pallet. This time around though, there weren't exactly bricks on this pallet. No, this time around, it had been various bags of cement mix. Both things necessary when it came to fixing up the residential area of Darkveil. "Feel free to grab a hold of something before we head out." He left his intentions here rather open ended on purpose, curious as to whether or not the Tiefling half-breed would help.

Either way, once Rinn was sure that his grasp on the pallet was steady, he would begin to head back off towards their previous location. Sweat had glistened across his skin at this point, accentuating his features but also giving away the fact that this put more of a strain on him than he was willing to admit. "If you have any actual questions for me, feel free to ask them by the way. Easier to speak on these matters when I have a gist of what you want to know."

Percival chuckled a little "Oh? I would love to see those acts darling" he replied as he walked with the other. He then nodded as the other requested him to help and picked up a bag of cement mix throwing it over his shoulder and holding it, grabbing a few needed supplies in his other hand. "There we are then" he grinned

He walked alongside the other and looked around before focusing on the other again a bit worried by the others slight show of strain though didnt say anything on it for now. "Are you from here darling? If not where are you from?" he questioned curiously wondering what the answer would be. He wasn't used to asking personal questions of the people he expressed interest in as it was only short term flings so the knowledge wasn't needed. the man before him however, was truly fascinating and not just in looks but the story behind some of his more unique features, mainly his arms. His personality was also intriguing to Percival as he was not used to such a response to his flirting. Perhaps a little random trivia and information on a person could mke things a bit more interesting

While Rinn had knew better than to share so many facets of personal information when it came to strangers, he had come to learn that he hadn't quite cared if there were those that came to know of such things. If anyone had chosen to use such information against him, he would simply have to track them down and give them the walloping of a lifetime. Not that those in his family couldn't protect themselves if it really came down to it.

"Hm? Ah. You've certainly got an interesting propensity to ask questions~ Sounds like you might be interested in me, Dear Percival." A soft laugh would escape from the Moon Elf's lips at this point as he continued to make headway towards the drop off location of the pallets. "Well to answer your question, I'm most assuredly not from around here. In fact, I stem from the lands of Moonglade. There are quite a variety of my kind that are stationed out there, you know." Another laugh would peel forth before he continued on. "Eclipse City if I'm being more specific. My father's one of the guards that's stationed out there. Nothing as fancy as a royal guard but he's manage to acquire the station of guard captain for the regular guards that meander about the city."

Although he had continued to walk straight, towards the ultimate destination of the construction goods, Rinn had allowed for his gaze to momentarily divert itself towards Percival. Truly an interesting specimen. One that he wouldn't mind getting to know better if the two hadn't met under such circumstances. "How about yourself? Are you simply passing through the area or is Darkveil your permanent place of residency? If it is than I'm curious as to what you think of the place. Does it's current state impact you to any serious degree?"

“Of course I’m interested darling, you’re quite handsome if you haven’t noticed~” he grinned with a chuckle before listening to the other “oh? How interesting darling” he remarked. “I’ll have to visit sometime maybe~. Interested in me hm? Well I am actually from sol city. My father was from here however as many tieflings are” he replied with a smile. “So no real effect on me I’m afraid. I enjoy traveling to help a bit here and there however and find handsome interesting men such as yourself” he explained leaving it at that.

Unlike most adventurers his cause wasn’t overly noble. He was mainly an observer and if he found someone interesting then gods help the poor soul from this huge flirt. There was no noble cause but a need for being wanted by others due to his past which the poor lad himself had not managed to put together yet. Perhaps he would visit home sometime soon however. He enjoyed seeing his parents and younger brothers. Some looked more like their father, with tiefling features whilst others like himself took a bit more from their human mother. It often garnered some attention and not always good
