It wasn't that she had intended to eavesdrop, in fact it had happened quite by accident. The sour mage had been looking for her brother as it was like him to have wandered off in boredom whilst all the heavy work was going on. She had searched everywhere before she noted that Gyuri was also missing...and that set her little mind a whirling. What could of happened to her idiot of a brother? To drag off their hardest worker at a time like this? Growling she was looking to give Borra a piece of his mind but...she was surprised when she overhead his voice in a tent she nearly walked past.
Jolting to a stop she was about to rip open the flaps of the doors to shout at her brother when Gyuri's voice softly was speaking as well. Blinking she gave a wry smile as she instead slipped up to the tent and pressed an ear lightly to it. She was listening to see if perhaps something naughty was going on. It would be about time since the poor body guard was hopelessly infatuated with her moronic and oblivious brother. So quite honestly she was just making sure she wasn't mistaken and would leave as soon as her suspicion was confirmed.
She however was quite surprised by what she heard instead, her brother confessing to be lonely if he no longer was sleeping in the same tent as his sister. Sure she found it very annoying to have him clinging to her in the middle of the night but was more so surprised when Gyuri actually offered to share the same room. Hoo..boy. Smirking she tried not to ease drop any more..but found it deliciously fun to do so..it wasn't until she heard movement she skirted around the tent so not to be seen.
After tucking Borra in, making sure that he was asleep, Gyuri moved to gather the water pitcher up. Borra would need more water, both to drink and to wet down the cold compress if it was needed again. He would hurry and go and fetch whatever it was that Borra might need. He found himself wondering, as he gathered things up, if he should go to find Makani. The healer could come in while Borra was a sleep, look him over, give him a quick healing session, so that when he came to he'd be feeling better. Gyuri only hoped that, once he was feeling better, he would still want to stay with Gyuri. Hopefully it wasn't something that had just been said because Borra was sick and feeling poorly.
Giving the sleeping musician one last glance, making sure he was still asleep, the big guard headed outside. Just as he did so he heard something retreating around the tent, the sound of footsteps, and it instantly put the big man on edge. He looked from side to side, then took a few steps forward, looking around the side of the tent... but saw nothing. Maybe it was just an animal? Borra's raoti or Gyuri's own capramel, perhaps? Wait, no... if it was either they would have come tromping into the tent as though they owned the place, something Halsten did a lot. As for who it was, he wasn't sure at all.
After a long moment of thought the guard finally called out, "Who's out there? Show yourself, please." Hopefully it wasn't anyone dangerous who was skulking about looking to steal from the troupe while Gyuri was distracted, it wasn't something that he'd put up with.
The mage had been caught it seemed, although Gyuri didn't know it was her yet and thus she put on her most sneaky expression possible. Perhaps it was because she felt like the big guy needed a bit of teasing, after all her brother was hardly game these days and seeing those two together she couldn't help but want to beat her brothers head against a wall. He was so painfully oblivious to Gyuri's feelings after all. Moving she came into sight her elbows at her waist as she did the 'I'm caught' gesture with her hands.
"You got me Gyuri you can put your guard down. Nice to see you don't let your affections distract you from duty." Sin'qua smiled deviously as she lowered her hands to cross under her chest. "sorry I was looking for my brother when I stumbled across you two...getting quite cozy in there weren't you? Did you finally confess?" She inquired as she seriously doubted it and she missed any juicy details beyond what she had manage to over hear.
Gyuri went tense when he heard footsteps approaching, preparing to react to an intruder if needs be... then relaxed again when he saw that it was Sin'qua standing there instead. Her hand were up, showing her surrender, and he found himself relaxing a bit. If it was just her, someone that he knew he could trust, he didn't mind so much letting his guard down. He gave her a smile when she said that she was glad to see that he didn't let his 'affections distract from his duty' something he saw as a compliment.
"It's my job to keep everyone safe." He said simply, wanting nothing more then to keep everyone else safe, even if that meant being on guard when he was with Borra. Or in this when he was going to fetch something for Borra who wasn't feeling that well. As she mentioned that she had stumbled across Borra and Gyuri 'getting quite cozy' his cheeks got quite hot and he looked away, lifting one hand to scratch it against the back of his head, clearly flustered.
At her next question he glanced over toward her, silent for a long moment, before shaking his head, "I can't bother him with such things, he's not feeling well."
The mage looked at him with pity on her face she even went as far as giving a tsking sound with she shook her head. examining her nails feigning interest in them she finally gave Gyuri a hard look. "Hmm hardly bother him with it? And yet you offered to let him sleep...in the same room as you?" Sin'qua stated with an off handed expression, "Do you know what that even entails?" She inquired softly as she moved up to Gyuri lightly tapping a nail against his broad chest.
"It means sleeping in the same room, hearing his breathing..him rustling under the sheets...that won't bother you?" She asked sounding quite impressed that Gyuri would be able to restrain himself in such a circumstance. "Oh well..on the plus side I will sleep better," She stated as she went to give Gyuri a pat on the arm before moving around him and past, "I mean I was starting to get pretty tired of him sneaking into my bed, that boy is just a terrible sleep walker." The elder sister managed sounding quite happy about this new situation. "Let me know if you need any help with him, he can be quite a handful when he is like that."
When Sin'qua asked him if he knew what sharing a room with Borra entailed he found himself starring at her for a long moment then shook his head. Did it mean something bad? Did Borra snore? He'd never heard it before though, so surely not, right? Even if that were the case though he still loved Borra so it was a habit he could deal with he decided after a moment of thought. Of course even as he decided that Sin'qua set to helpfully explaining what it meant and his cheeks only started to burn that much more.
The idea of having to listen to moving about in his sleep, he hadn't really thought about that... nor did he really think about what that would make Gyuri think about in return. He wanted to keep his thoughts along an innocent and friendly line but he knew it wasn't likely to stay there, not during the late hours of the night... or during the morning hours, the latter of which was more likely for when the troupe would actually sleep. Looking away he admitted, "I... didn't think it through I guess."
"Huh?" She would sleep better? That was an odd comment though as she explained what she meant his mouth fell open a bit, "H-He really does that?" The idea of Borra coming to him in the night, crawling into his bed, was that something he'd be able to survive? He had to admit he wasn't quite sure, "Umm... do you... have any suggestions?" He found himself instantly asking the mage.
Watching as Gyuri's cheeks went a rather interesting shade of reddish purple she tried very hard to keep her expression unconcerned. After all it was Gyuri's fault for rushing in and offering her brother a place to sleep. Though as he nearly begged her for advice she was trying so hard not to laugh at this point. The poor sap..he really didn't know what he was getting into did he?
"Suggestions? Other than just confessing to my moronic brother and then enjoying your time alone? Well..you could always tie him down..." She mused as she figured the big man was not about to just give her brother a lovers confession right this moment. "You never know he may be into that sort of thing...I may be able to get you some rope if you really want to get naughty." Tapping the tip of her finger against her lower lip as if she was seriously considering that as an option for the large fellow.
Gyuri gave a soft sigh, "I am... afraid to, afraid he will hate me for it." He murmured in a voice that was barely above a whisper. The idea of losing Borra was painful, though just staying at his side as a friend forever was starting to grow painful as well. How he'd rather just hold the man in his arms, to be able to flirt with him openly, hug him, kiss him... tie him up? Wait what?!
The big man just stood there, looking as though he'd been completely stuck into both silence and stillness, nearly choking over the idea. Tie Borra down? Wait, why? To keep him from climbing into bed with him? Or was he supposed to tie him up to keep him there? His mind set to whirling, with Gyuri seeming to struggle with his thoughts which were now only going to the most intimate possible subjects. It was something that was only made worse when Sin'qua suggested that Borra might be 'into that sort of thing' which had his mismatched eyes going quite wide, "You... think?" He asked, looking a bit shocked. Surely, even as his sister, she wouldn't know about that sort of thing about Borra... would she? He really had no idea truth be told.
"I-I don't know... I mean... rope is a bit..." He shook his head rapidly, lifting his free hand to rub it against his face, as though attempting to get rid of his horrible blushing and where his thoughts had wandered off to. That was no way to think about someone who was sick! No, wait, he shouldn't be thinking about it at all! But now that Sin'qua put the ideas in his mind they were being difficult to chase off.
She listened to him explain why he was hesitating to confess to her brother, she could understand his worries for she herself had yet to confess to Makani and she was downright afraid he would laugh at her. So perhaps she should be more sympathetic to Gyuri's plight but she couldn't help but want to tease him...especially when he wasn't taking her sexual innuendos for what they were. And it was seeing the big man's expression that fueled her on, she couldn't help it she herself would want to dominate in a relationship, so ...these perhaps were her own perverse ideas coming to light.
"Yeah, depends on how you want to experience it, regular rope would chaff but sometimes a little pain it good...but you could also use silk scarves. Easier to tie up but harder to undo.." She continued with a very nonchalant attitude. This was perhaps the highlight of her day, she should be more embarrassed talking about sexual things with the big man, but because she knew he was into her brother and not herself..she knew he was picturing these things with Borra not her.
"Yeah I mean he just begs for a spanking some days. What a bad boy he is, " She continued as she poked Gyuri's arm. "Why not go back in there and find out? Given him a little nibble on the shoulder, and if your more daring..the buttocks."
Gyuri's mismatched eyes got a bit wide as she set to describing what it was that he should do, even offering up the suggestion of using silk scarves instead of rope. His cheeks seemed to flush that much more as he realized that the troupe did have such things on hand, didn't they? They were meant for the dancers but would they really noticed if a few went missing? He shook his head, trying to clear up such thoughts... but they weren't going anywhere. If anything the more he tried to dismiss those thoughts the worse they got, holding fast, and making Gyuri a bit hot under the collar... so to speak.
"I... um... nibble...?" He seemed to be failing with words again. he was already less then eloquent but with her offering up so many 'helpful suggestions' it just seemed to make it all that much worse for the giant who was stuttering more then he ever had before. It seemed as though he just couldn't find any way for him to come up with what might be the right thing to say. Especially when there was a part of him, the part he wanted to ignore, that rather like the sound of... well, everything Sin'qua was saying. When he finally figure out words again, as well as how to form them into a coherent sentence he said, "W-Wouldn't that sort of thing just... just scare him off?"

Sin'qua watched Gyuri trying hard not to look amused but it was hard not to miss that smirk on her face. Though she herself had absolutely no experience sexually she had her imagination and she would die before admitting that she would sometimes dream about doing things....with...her cheeks went slightly red as she looked away a moment. No dobt poor Gyuri's brain was fried at this point, should she really press this?
Looking over to him she gave him a more serious look, that expression that on her face only meant business. Sighing she gave a slight shrug and then gestured for Gyuri to walk with her, and away from the tent where her brother may overhear what they were discussing if he awoke. "Honestly Gyuri I don't know, but you have to be creative else you'll never find out right?" She explained with a nod, "I don't know my brothers sexual preferences...I'd rather not know but you can't be content on just...being there for him. You can be selfish too Gyuri..you want and you need..." She managed as she rubbed a hand up and down her arm as if she was giving herself the same pep talk.
"My brother..even if he turns you down would probably never turn you away. He really enjoys your company he often doesn't shut up about how amazing you are.."
Gyuri fell into step alongside Sin'qua as she motioned for him to walk with her. He was glad to be moving, certain that if Borra came to and heard such talk that he'd try to sneak away despite his condition. No, he needed rest, not to be hassled by their talk that had wandered into unknown territory for the big guard. He turned to look over at her as she told him that he couldn't just be content upon being there for him, something he was starting to understand. Could he really just stand by idly, playing the part of the friend forever? It was possible that he might have been able to, at least before he'd invited Borra to come live with him. That threw a kink into that plan.
"Eh?" Gyuri looked a bit surprised when he was told that he could be selfish too. It was something that had him looking thoughtful. He supposed he'd spent too much time putting the needs of others before his own to really think about that. He was supposed to look after the others, keep them safe, keep them happy, make sure nobody bothered them overly. The idea that he might be able to focus on himself, it wasn't something he did a lot. Not when there were more and more people joining their group that he needed to look after, "Ahh... you could be right." He mused, glancing over his shoulder in the direction of where Borra was sleeping, then back to Sin'qua.
She seemed to believe that even if Borra didn't accept Gyuri in that way that he wouldn't run off. It seemed that Borra enjoyed his company, something that actually put a smile on Gyuri's face. He rather enjoyed his time with Borra as well, even just doing the most simple things with him made the giant happy. After a moment he murmured, "I will... talk to him, once he's feeling better." Provided of course he could muster up the amount of courage needed for a feat as difficult as a love confession.
A roll from her eyes indicated that she knew she was right and she could only hope that Gyuri would follow her advice and finally confess to her moron of a brother. Still she couldn't help but look a bit sulky as it seemed rather like she was being a hypocrite herself. She liked Makani quite a bit and yet...she had yet to say two words to him that didn't end up sounding like she hated him. Was she really the right person here to be giving advice on relationships?
Sighing she played with a braid before giving Gyuri a skeptical look when he explained he would confess but only once her brother was feeling better. Feeling better? He was sick? Positive that he was making an excuse so he didn't have to help she had to refrain from turning around right this moment and charging back into the tent to drag her lazy brother out of there.
"......is...he really sick?" She inquired looking rather doubtful about this claim.
Gyuri looked over at Sin'qua, then nodded, a look of concern on his face as they continued to walk along, with him turning the direction they were going just a bit so that they were heading toward where the barrels of purified water were located. That was why he'd left the tend after all, "Borra has a fever, even collapsed." He murmured, sounding more then a little concerned. It would be obvious to anyone that Gyuri wanted to go back to him, but he couldn't, not yet at least, "I'm getting him some water." He explained, at least that way she could know why it was that they were making a detour toward where the water was waiting.
"I'll call Makani if it gets worse." He told Sin'qua in a reassuring manner, not wanting her to worry, though he supposed that it was only natural that she did, she was Borra's sister after all. The two of them could fret together until Borra was feeling better. After that Gyuri would do his best to make sure that the musician wasn't allowed to push himself too far again. He was a good guy, one who seemed to really want to help, but Gyuri worried that Borra was trying too hard to keep up with Gyuri. If he did that again he might end up hurt instead of sick, something that the giant didn't want to see happen.
A fever? She supposed she could of missed the signs, after all her brother was normally an odd ball so him acting odd wouldn't really be all that different. Sighing she gave the big man a hard look before it softened slightly, kicking away some stones as they neared the water barrel. "You know Gyuri I envy you, you know what you feel even if your too scared to tell the person how you feel. I am not even sure what it is I feel.." She lamented as she went to dip a cup into the water to pull out some water for herself.
"And knowing my brother he is probably worse off than he allows others to know. He has a terrible habit..like a raoti at hiding illness. If he is already this bad...you may want to go fetch Makani now...and not wait." She continued before taking a sip out of the cup. "Meanwhile how many scarves would you like me to gather for you?" Sin'qua questioned as she smirked behind her cup. Though she had felt bad for him the urge to tease him was very hard to resist.
Gyuri glanced toward Sin'qua, a slight look of surprise on his face as the mage spoke of her own feelings, not something that she did a lot with others, unless it was her telling Eira how much the dancer was annoying her. He'd never heard her speak in this manner though, in a manner that seemed... open and almost vulnerable. He gave a bit of a smile and said, "It's difficult, tell others about your feelings. Those you care about especially." He was the expert on not confessing after all he thought to himself.
"Ah? What?" His eyes got a bit wide as she told him that Borra was one to hide his illness the same an animal might, that if he was already as bad as he was that he should be fetching Makani now. He nodded his head before moving to fill the water pitcher up. He would bring Borra his water, bring it to him, then he'd go and find the mage. He was worried now, even more so then before. So Borra was sick, really sick? Would Makani be able to help? Would he be able to make Borra better?
As he got the pitcher filled to the brim he turned to look at Sin'qua, his eyes wide, "Huh?" He blinked a couple times as the mention of the scarves once more, before he said, "Ah... well, I don't know... not to many? You might need some for yourself."
Perhaps she hadn't quite anticipated his response to be one favorable for the silks and then she nearly choked when he suggested that she save some for herself. Sputtering the water from her mouth she gave Gyuri a look that was of shock, perhaps due tot he fact her teasing had been turned onto herself and she couldn't help but flush at his words.
"Yeah..I might, though it may just to get his attention than to do anything ...fun.." She sounded rather exasperated, she loved Makani for his blindness, but perhaps if ..he had been able to see her expressions...the way she looked at him things would of been different.
"Besides....I am pretty sure he likes someone else...I can't compete with. I mean who would want a woman like me?" Sinny stated with a loud sigh. "I am rude and often angry, the thought of trying to confess right now..well..I wish I had the courage I keep telling you to have." She explained as she went about wiping the water off her chin and her hand. "Perhaps I should be apologizing to you Gyuri instead of forcing you to come out to my brother... I suppose you can take all the time that you want...but...what if my brother finds someone..else?" She explained, for it pained her a lot to know her feelings would be left unanswered.
Gyuri couldn't help but to give a little smile when he saw the way that Sin'qua reacted to his little comment about her keeping some scarves for herself. He lifted the filled pitcher up and gave the water a glance, but decided it was fine. The water was cool enough that it should be able to help with Borra's fever, not to mention that he knew it was safe to drink since Makani put a lot of work into that.
Looking over at Sin'qua he said, "Good luck." Maybe one of them might have some sort of chance if they tried hard... and used scarves if Sin'qua's advice was to be believed? As she started to speak of the one she liked, someone who liked someone else she couldn't compete with, he found himself feeling a little saddened. He would much rather Sin'qua have some sort of luck where her love life was concerned since she was trying to help him... in her own way.
"We never know until we try?" That was the really hard part though, trying. Gyuri's eyes got rather wide at her mention of not forcing him to come out to Borra but posed him a touch question, what he'd do if Borra found someone else. He blinked a couple times, looking surprised, "Someone... else? I... don't know honestly." He'd never thought about that. There was the part of him that said he should probably be happy for him, that he should congratulate him if he found someone he loved... but he didn't think he could. He didn't he think he was a good enough man to be able to do that. Giving a shake of his head he said, "I... really don't know."
Another deep breath, being able to turn the conversation back onto Gyuri she felt that she could continue being civil without resorting to violence. She couldn't help it, it was her natural instinct when she felt embarrassed to get violent. Still she cleared her throat and then putting her cup down patted Gyuri on the muscled shoulder,
"Then..I'd suggest you do confess to him before someone else tries to steal him away." She explained as she tried to offer Gyuri a comforting smile, although it probably loomed more like a grimace. "After all your lucky, though if you make my brother cry I will hurt you." She threatened as she took a step away, true there was no way she could beat him in a battle of strength, but her magic...could certainly leave some scars.
Turning to walk away she was left in her own sad thoughts about Makani an wondering if there was really anything she could do...at this point to tell him her own feelings.
Gyuri watched her go, his eyes going a little wide, before he gave a little shiver. Yeah, best that he didn't mess up with Borra or else he was going to end up having to deal with a very angry, magic wielding Sin'qua. Not something that he wanted to risk so he was going to have to be really careful as far as wooing Borra went. An extra thing to worry about, along with the idea of someone else stealing him away. It was all a jumble of worries that he did his best to shove aside. He had to get Borra feeling better again before he could even think about bothering him with such things!
So first thing, first, he had to get the water to Borra, then find Makani and bring to the Borra. Surely with his power Makani would be able to fix Borra and make it so that he was feeling better! That would be at least one less worry on Gyuri's mind. The giant gave Sin'qua a final glance as she headed on her way before he turned on his heel, moving in a hurried manner back toward where he'd left the sleeping Borra.
