Re: Bura
Morgan followed along, he looked over some Items.. shiny blades, hand worked leather holsters and such.
when they reached the Drink Stall, Morgan couldn't help himself , from asking the 'rube' question.
..so? why is this beer Green.. I have seen Red..I even say Blue?
The HalfBurian ( human Burian )said,..Its like this.. yous ee. There are lands all about this fair Planet... and the water runs through it all.. Now.. ye get to the Highlands, the wanter flow s through many a rock, so's the water stays clear.. and the Grains, they lean to the red side...., ye get closer to the Sea, or one of them big Lakes... the water has been filtered through the pebbles and stones and taveled al that long way... the sands, help turn the green a bit.. so the grains , they's get a bit blue..... now.. the Plains and the Fields?.. the water settles in... the grains drink deep, they do! And we end up with the green beer.. ye can taste it too> ifin ye don't eat no sweets with them... The Red Beer is stronger.. the grain bites the tongue... the Blue is sweet as a a frsh glass for spring water... light to the taste, it is.... but the Green Beer,, well.. it has the body of the Grains, and the sweetness of the lakes... and?.. if ye Boil it down, ye can get the finist spread ta put on a roll?.. though.. ye eat too much... you'll get a sight drunk! he laughs
Not far away... Jax and Sneak watched people goign through tubes and swinging on poles while a Burians timed them..... The Burians vowed to pay 5 creds for every one someone put down, if they thought they could beat a Young Burian who ran the Course in 29 Seconds.
Sneak and Jax stepped up.. Jax put down 5 creds.. he handed his tunic to sneak and took off his boots... the Burian said Go ( AFTER clicking the time piece ).. Ja x swung Up dropped through a Pipe swung over another , diving into another pipe then sprtinted to the Finished line in 25 seconds...
The Burian Opens his Mouth to say something, JAx Pointed at Sneakshe'll beat my time.. I'll let all 25 ride, that she beats the time too...
people cheered, even Burians.. the Fellow nodded... Sneak took off her necklace and her boots... Jax whispered to the manDon't cheat on the clock?... You'll make twice as much as you'll lose..if you get people to try to beat her time...
The Burian looked surprised at JAx, who Just winked.
Sneak nodded that she was ready and the Fellow said Go..this time starting it honsetly... Sneak used some of the dame Moves JAx did, her dive through the tunnel was clean. never touching the sides, she hit and rolled and grabbed another pole and was through the tunnel again, her sprint was faster then Jax, because ..hey? she didn't get stabbed by Vampics!... The Burian held Up the Clock..
20 SECONDS!!!!!.. The Crowd cheered... the Burian who was beaten..twice was bummed... but the fellow with the clock said...Who thinks they can beat the Girl!!!.. 10 to one if you can beat the Girl!
Jax Gave Sneak the 125 creds as they dressed again.. people where lining up...
..no one's going to beat 20 seconds.. I had a clean run.. it was just like the pipes on Etna!
Jax smiled, there might be a handful of Humans here who know where we came from.... and lots of these people, Burians included?.. they've been drinking ..alot... how many MArines are gonna tell thier dates they can't beat a girl?
She Kisses Jax on the Cheek and Giggled,..lets get some food!
