Gio shrugs. "Perhaps. It's something for me to keep in mind."
"Very well Sir. Oh, on another point, your helmet will be finished in a couple days Sir."
Aleister waits a moment after Gio takes his leave before taking hold of the communication stone. "Are you there my dear?"
As Tehanna kisses her forehead, Eri stirs and stretches. Her eyes fluttering open, Eri smiles as she sees Tehanna in front of her. Putting a hand on her love's cheek she leans in and kisses her softly on the lips, "Hey, you finished your stuff for now?" She asks a little quietly before yawning.
"Thank you, Morbak," Gio replies before heading back to his room.
There was silence for a moment before the Queen answered, "Little Gentleman, this is a surprise." Her tone then slipped into a much more breathy one, "I hope this is a social call."
"For now. I don't think I told you, but I figured out a way to cut down on the time needed for the ritual. I should be completely acclimatized to the surface daylight."
"Anytime Sir," Morbak responded before turning back to his duties.
"For now. I don't think I told you, but I figured out a way to cut down on the time needed for the ritual. I should be completely acclimatized to the surface daylight."
Eri gets a confused look on her face, "Huh? Accliwhat? What do you mean, and how long will it take you if you cut down on the time to do it?" She asks, still not exactly sure how all of this magicky stuff worked. All she knew was when Tehanna used her magic during their...intimate moments, that she really really liked it.

"Meaning the daylight won't be uncomfortable, and a little less than two weeks at this point."
Eri yawns again and moves closer to Tehana as she gives her a squeeze, "Well good, I can't wait to have you with me all the time. I wonder if you'll be able to be with us when we intercept that Mitran dog. He should be the one wearing that collar." She says, barely keeping the snarl out of her voice at the mention of the priest.
"I don't believe I should engage in too much fighting until this choker is off." A smirk crossed the Drow's face, "Although I have been thinking, perhaps I can have that Orc make me another one? I'm kind of liking the feel of it."
Eri smiles and kisses her, "One, if you came with us...it would just be so I could get that damn thing off of you. I didn't expect you to do any actual fighting, and I wouldn't let anything get close enough to you anyways. Two, I'm not even sure yet how we would go about getting that thing off of you, to transfer it to someone else, but you can bet I'm gonna do my damndest to figure it out. And three..." Eri says with a smirk of her own as she gives Tehanna's rear a firm yet playful smack, "I think I'd be okay seeing you in one, as long as it doesn't hurt you. You are an extremely sexy woman, with or without a pretty collar around your beautiful neck. Most of all, I just want to make you happy." She says as she plays idly with Tehanna's hair.
Tehanna lightly ran her fingers up and down Eri's side, "The process of transferring the choker is not quick process. It would take half a day at least and trying to do that right after a fight would probably not be the best of ideas."
"A little of both. I was hoping we could meet in person soon." Aleister answers.
"Really? How soon?" She asked thinly masking the excitement in her voice.
Eri gets a pouty look on her face, "Fine....then when we find the a$$hole, I'll try to restrain myself from killing his stupid holier than thou ass, long enough to bring him here so we can transfer the collar to him." She says, her voice takes on a whiny and petulant tone as she crosses her arms in front of her and huffs out an exaggerated breath.
With her lower lip sticking out she says, "Then I guess you better just stay here for the time being, until we can find the stupid jerk and bring him back here. If that ass that set me up is with him though, I swear on all that is unholy that I will make him beg for death before I'm done with him." She finishes with a growl, her claws automatically extend and cut into her flesh as her hands subconsciously close into fists while she thinks of the ones responsible for nearly getting her sent to prison. Blood drips from her hands as her mind shifts back to when she was tricked into going after the Mitran high priest. It was her fault for listening to the scumbag, but it still pissed her off.
"Dearest, your hands."
Looking down she sees the blood dripping from her closed fists, and forces herself to relax. Unclenching them she looks up at Tehanna, "Oh...right, sorry. I didn't mean to....sorry. It'll be fine, can you please get the drops off the bed? I'll deal with my stupid hands." Getting up from the bed so she doesn't make more of a mess than she already did, one of the few things she seemed good at, Eri goes to the pool, being careful not to drip blood all over the floor, and sticks her hands in the water as she kneels next to the faintly glowing pool of water.
As Eri stuck her bleeding hands into the water, the Troll finger, which by this point seemed to have morphed into a bulbous mound of greenish flesh, almost appeared to deliberately move towards the cloud of blood. Suddenly, while floating in it, the color of the flesh turned from green to a tone almost identical to the Skinwalker's.
Looking at the water and what happened, she immediately pulled her hands back out of the water. Looking at the reaction she gets a worried look on her face, "Oh $hit!" Is all she can think to say when she sees the color if the skin change. Just what in the hell had she done? She didn't know what she did, but it didn't look good.
Feeling distressed she cries out, "Tehanna!"
The Drow had just finished cleaning the blood out of the sheets when Eri cried out. Rushing over, she quickly asked, "What is it?"
Eri points at the thing in the water, "That....that's what. I...I stuck my hands in the water, and that thing went to the blood...and then that happened. What did I do? Is it gonna be okay? Did I ruin it?" She asks in rapid succession, her voice sounding almost hysterical with worry that shed might have ruined her pet.
Tehanna turned and looked at the still growing.......Troll? Taking a step closer, she knelt down and examined it.
Looking between Eri and it, the Drow finally said, "Interesting. I'm not entirely sure, but if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say your blood must have 'fed' it. As to what that means, I have absolutely no idea."
Going back to the bed and opening the book, she continued, "Let's see if this book can shed any light on this."
After about forty-five minutes, Tehanna found something, "It would appear that there have been rare cases, severed Troll parts when exposed to the blood of different species can take on certain characteristics of that species. In this case your skin tone. As to any other changes that may or may not occur, I wouldn't even speculate. It does say here that these mutations all appeared to retain the regenerative properties, so I imagine the growth rate won't change." Closing the book, she added, "I wouldn't worry Dearest. It'll most likely be fine."
Getting up she dries off her now healed hands before going back to the bed and crawling up on it next to Tehanna. Giving her an apprehensive look she asks, "Are you sure? I read that stupid book for like an hour, and I don't remember seeing that....but I only made it through the first few chapters. It's really.....boring." She says with a worried sigh.
Re-opening the book, Tehanna showed Eri, "Yes, it's a little further towards the back. Would it help you retain the information more if perhaps I read through it and taught it to you in our sleep?"
Eri nods, "Yeah, reading that stuff just makes me tired."

"Then I'll read while you snuggle," Tehanna said propping her pillow up against the headboard so she could lean back comfortably.
Nodding again, Eri waits until Tehanna gets comfortable and snuggles up against her, laying her head on her chest and draping an arm across her as she holds onto her. She was a little worried about her pet, but if Tehanna said it would be okay, then it would. Closing her eyes, she starts to relax as she lies next to her love.

The next couple of hours just flew by as the Drow read the tome. Once she had made all the mental notes she needed to, she picked up the circlets from the bedside table and slipped one on Eri's head, then hers. Almost immediately, they were both in the dream realm, and Tehanna used her control over the realm to teach Eri about Trolls.

"Soon. When can you make time? Our priest would also like to speak with you about something." Aleister states.
"Oh," She replied with a slight disappointment in her voice, "We can speak tomorrow. I presume where you met Tala the first time?"
What Mistress was saying made sense. When she was practicing in the arena, she wasn't thinking, just feeling. Closing her eyes, Sasha focused. Again the young woman could feel the surge of power, but this time she gave into it and rode the current. She soon felt it, the point of release. Opening her eyes, Sasha turned her gaze to a golden goblet on the table, pointed a finger, and a ray if icy blue light shot forth. The goblet became covered in a thin layer of frost.
Sasha couldn't help but let out a squeak of glee, "Mistress, it worked!"
"Yes it did." Ravan replies with a proud smile, running her fingers through Sasha's hair. "Good girl!"
The sorceress possessively pulls her apprentice in for a breathtaking kiss. The much preferred the reward method of teaching. "I think this is how your training sessions will go from now on." she says tracing a finger along Sasha's full lips. "The better you perform, the more you'll be rewarded." she whispers, squeezing a handful of her firm bottom.
Sasha couldn't speak of a few seconds, Mistress' kiss only increased her appetite, "Then I shall strive to do better. As if on cue, her stomach growled. Taking a step back, she said, "I'll return with this evening meals." She promptly left the room. A short time later Sasha returned with two men and a platter of deliciousness.
"That will do fine, we'll be there at midday." Aleister says.
"Alright Little Gentleman, I look forward to seeing you then." A tapping sound came from the other end, and she was gone.
"Very well done!"Ravan purrs as Sasha returns with the evening's feast.
You awake to a ringing sound coming from your serving table. Looking over, you see a covered tray.
You awake to a knock at your door.
As the knocking wakes her up, Eri's stomach complains loudly. Getting up, she goes to the door and opens it.
