Welcome to Gaia! ::

" That's... * cough * good * cough cough * " Lyon began to feel light- headed, he breathed in too much smoke, and coughing, only made him breath in more, faster. " * cough * ...uh..... " Lyon fell to the ground. Still inside the burning building.

Instead of rushing to Lyon's aid, however, Soren simply stood by and watched. He had gained no explanation and had no reason to be helping. Perhaps he had attacked Sothe earlier, but that was entirely by accident -- and this was Lyon in trouble now, not Sothe. He felt no urge to be helping.
Yet on the contrary, the dog in his arms leapt out and ran forward, barking and whimpering at the seemingly unconscious Lyon. It went forth and started to pull on his clothing, as though in an attempt to help.
Soren watched this with mild interest.

Lyon woke up to realize the dog pulling on his clothes, he sat up, " It's okay boy, " he said petting the dog, then picked it up and walked out of the hotel, and apoligized, " Im sorry, I... Guess i breathed in a little too much smoke. " He laughed slightly, then held the dog in his hands, towards Soren, " This dog is yours, right?" he asked.

Lyon put the dog down, then looked up at Soren with a suprised yet - suddenly deppressed expression on his face, " I - It's a long story. Would you still like to hear it? "

" Alright.... " Lyon responded, " well... Not too far from the kindom of Grado is a small country named Azgard. um... One day, they told Grado to hand over all of it's money, and food... and land, it was a small country, i thought it would be of no threat to us. So I refused, and Azgard attacked Grado without warning, and basically, drove me out of my command. Now Azgard is on a rampage and is trying to get ahold of as much land, and power as they can. " Lyon sighed, " A lot of Grado's people were killed, it was my fault, I guess I could have agreed, or... Paid more attention to what was going on around Grado. "
He looked up at Soren, embarrassed he said, " I- I must be boring you. "

"Hm."
Soren appeared to hesitate, not looking at all irritated nor, as Lyon had put it, bored. This was quite an awkward opportunity. Soren hadn't considered that he was being asked for aid in such a monumental situation. If he lent a hand, surely he'd benefit one way or another -- and especially as he was seperate from his old comrades, nothing was quite restricting him. He had to do something other than aimlessly wander the land without doing anything of importance.
"I will return shortly."
Soren turned to depart and the dog attempted to follow. However, as the puppy raced up excitedly, he set his foot out and the dog literally tripped over and landed in the ground on its nose.
"No. You are to stay. As I had just said, I will return shortly."
The dog sat up, seeming uninjured, but followed him nonetheless as Soren strode away into the trees, glad that he had reserve gold somewhere on him.

Not too long after, the sage emerged with a new healing staff clutched in his hand, which seemed to guide him along as he planted its blunt end in the dirt with his every second step. He obviously was intent on joining the cause.
