"Huh? Oh... Yeah! Everythings fine!" She smiled weakly at Zses, the warmth in her cheeks a little cooler than normal. "I'm fine! Let's eat!!" She then snuggles closer to Zses, her small size making Zses' side a perfect fit. She sits there for a moment, enjoying the warmth, then eats slowly. "So sis, Where did Lyosha and Sigrun go? They've been gone a while... Are they okay?"
FIRST!

Lyosha Neverhome |

*Steeples fingers*
*eagerly waits for big sister's response*

Allie Silvershaper |

As am I. Hehehe

Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |

"So that just happened.."

A spectral goat rises up from the soup pot. It makes eye contact with Zses and bleats before sinking back down.
Pretty sure that was ghost goat speak for "Treat her right or I'll play hopscotch in your ribcage."

Allie Silvershaper |

Allie looks at the silly Ghost Gruff. "Gruff! You silly goat!" She laughs so hard she spills a bit of soup on Zses. "OH! Im sorry! Im Sorry Zses!!!!!" She quickly blows on his lap. I"Ill blow it dry!! Im so sorry!"

Percy is about to answer when Allie spills a bowl of soup. She breaks down into a giggle fit and says, "Allie! That's what Prestidigitation is for!"

Allie stops what she is doing mid-blow and looks at her sister, her lips still puckered. "Oh... Right..." Allie lays her delicate hands on Zses' lap, gently rubbing as she casts the spell. Warmth permiates Zses trousers as she slowly massages the wet spots. "Better?" she laughs quietly, her cheeks red.
I sooo enjoyed writing that!!

Percy Silvershaper |

Percy just puts her face in her palm. They would have to discuss this later. Right now, Percy intended to enjoy her soup.

Lyosha Neverhome |

I get the feeling that Hobbes is trying to will all of existence to make Percy spill her soup in his lap right now.

Ered just looks to Percy and shakes his head, repeating the palm motion with his own head and hand, as he gets a bowl of soup as well.
"We're going to be seeing a lot of this, I imagine..." the elf mumbles in between bites of soup.

Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |

No, but if Vashti and Silence/Ered start making out, he may jump off a cliff because then everyone would be getting more than him.

'Silence' |

Silence's whiskers twitched at the sights... had to be the battle. His tail lashed forward and he took more time packing and adjusting things in the slaygon than he normally might, it certainly appeared he was trying to do anything but look back at the tower... or friend zsestrian... or at anyone really.

Eredhaias' sword glows faintly for a brief moment.
Whenever food (and the tower-melting) is done, we'll proceed. ;-)

Calm down, we just now started round 3.

Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |

Lol. Dat sword.

Lyosha Neverhome |

Reminds me of Hrym.

Zsestrian Raven |

Pyromaniac gnomes who threatened to roast him the day before that suddenly flirted with him he could manage.
Spectral goats that emerged from the stew and bleated menacingly he could adjust to.
But a situation like this... Zses's head tried its best to make sense of what was going on, trying to come up with something...
Isn't that a little too forward?
Say something witty!
Go for it!
Maybe she didn't do that on purpose?
Dude, do you need it spelled more clearly?
It's a trap to roast you! Run!
Am I the only one here that doesn't know what the #@*§ is going on anymore?
...with poor results.
"Ah...ehm... uh." he doesn't manage to say anything at first, his blushing cheeks standing out on his pale face.
"A-hem!" he clears his throat, trying to regain his composure.
"Yes, no problems. Thanks." he finally manages to say, smiling faintly at Allie, still blushing.

Eredhaias Malynneil |

Ered shakes his head, staring at the sword.
"Normal? Mercenaries? Do you realize that is a ridiculous statement in and of itself? I mean, you're a talking sword. I'm not so sure you're the best one to be talking about normal. And as far as polishing you? You'd prefer I leave you covered in blood?"
The elf rolls his eyes at this internal conversation and its strangeness.
Hey, I'm the most well adjusted of this bunch.

Allie Silvershaper |

Allie looks innocently up are Zses. Her bright, green eyes glittring in the firelight. "Youre not angry? Im so sorry, Zses... I would never.. I mean.. Umm... I really am sorry." She sits up, putting her hands on her knees, looking up into Zses' eyes and smiles.

Your Benevolent Dictator |

Ered's sword glows red and flashes repeatedly.

Eredhaias Malynneil |

Ered looks at the sword and just puts it down and looks at it with this most incredulous stare, as though someone just insulted his mother.
"And yet, now, you're in the form of a sword. I appreciate your insight and obviously the abilities that you've begun to share with me, but it still doesn't change the fact that you're in the form of a talking sword, so I'm not exactly sure your previous impressions of life are entirely applicable to this new form. Besides, they don't exactly give a primer on how to deal with these particular situations. And at least I'm the most normal of this group. I mean, you could have ended up with the girl who had the goat. I'm pretty sure that this situation is better than that one. Or you could be with the pair of teenagers right now. I'm far from the worst possible option, thank you very much."
Ered'a face gets redder as this.."conversation" goes along.

Percy Silvershaper |

Percy starts glancing back and forth from Ered to his sword. His place as the normal (if of dubious morality) one was slipping.

Eredhaias Malynneil |

Ered just grumbles as well.
"If you want to assume that's what I said, that's fine. I appreciate your insight. We'd likely be dead now without it, but they don't exactly give a manual for these sort of things. And yes, I'd still consider myself the most normal. I'm not bringing about old magic or possessed or wielding dark magic or anything of that nature.."
He just shakes his head, staring out into the cold landscape, facing away from the others, so his face is not visible, putting the hood up and drawing it around his face to hide...well, he wasn't sure how the feel at being insulted by someone with that much power, who seemed so genuinely disliking of his presence.
I'm still not half evil or summoning old magic or having hanky panky in a burning tower, so I think I'm fairly normal. And I haven't had anyone majorly important die on me or had any major backstory trauma, so...still the normal one. lol :p

'Silence' |

Tail lashing! Much much tail lashing! I am the most normal *nods nods* yes yes >^.^<

Allie Silvershaper |

No reason to blame him for being careful! I got your back Silence!

'Silence' |

Yeah go team mao! no but really i think its almost justifiable paranoia, i mean, trapped snowmen, witches placing little girls in dolls...life like statues just seem like a bad idea to leave lying around *nods*

After a long while...
As they laid there afterwards he kept that serene smile as he held her and nuzzled her neck. At least for the time being he could say, for once in who knows how long, that he was happy. Content. At peace.
Aaaaaannnnddd we're back! Miss us?

Sigrun Jagrsdottir |

Holding Lyosha close she can feel the peace emanating from him, a calm unlike anything he was used to. She smiles, stroking his hair as she listens to his breathing, their bodies spent, for at least a moment, without a care in the world.

As clarity slowly, very, very, very slowly crept back into his head he internally struggled on whether or not to break the sacred silence. Feeling her pleasant warmth next to him though he finally decided, without looking up he says "I meant what I said. Every word." He wanted to hold onto that warmth as long as possible.

"I know." she whipers gently massaging the back of his neck,"I meant it too." she continues slightly surprised.
"Rest" she says kissing his forehead and closing her eyes.

He needed no more encouragement than that, curling up and letting his head lie on her chest as he drifted off into dreams.

Zsestrian Raven |

"Of course I'm not angry! Why would I be?" Zses smiles back at the gnome, looking her in the eyes, too.
She's so pretty...

I now have a mental image of a moth floating towards a bug zapper.

Hobbes 'Rat Trap' Bitterleaf |

More like a furnace. He'd have a chance in a bug zapper.
"Does the elf always look like he's talking to his sword? It's weird." Hobbes says inbetween sips of stew.

I can safely say truer words have never been spoken.

Allie Silvershaper |

Allie smiled with relief and sits back sighing. "I'm so glad you're not mad..." Suddenly, she is hugging Zses tightly. She laughs and says "Would have had to torch you if you got mad! Haha!" Her eyes playing with a playful fire. "But really, I'm glad you're not angry. I don't want to ever make you feel negative emotions..." She pulls away and looks at Zses again, her face softening. Why haven't I noticed how handsome and wonderful he is until now...

The food for the most part done, the felinerai, in the spirit of witch messing with.. pulled out a peice of charred log and head for the front door of the tower... He began to write there, a short message for the owners and possible returning foes.
悪悪
死をのて来て今です
心配をする必要があり
you evil bad guys
Death is coming for you now
you should be worried
yes, i am aware its 5-7-5

Zsestrian Raven |

"Oh!" Zses exclaims, surprised by the gnome's burst of affection. "That won't happen, don't worry. Didn't you see I'm always laughing?" he jokes, hugging Allie back.

Percy Silvershaper |

Percy squints at Zses hugging her sister. She wasn't sure it was best to intervene. She didn't want the angry side to show itself, but her sister was hanging on a witch! Suddenly, Percy is locked in an inner war between her concern for get sister and her dislike of witches in general.

Crow, the sparkliest raven |

"Worried, fey child?" Crow sneaks up on Percy, sitting on her shoulder, his shadow once again shifting trough different shapes. "I have reservations about your sister, too, but I think we should leave them be." he adds, keeping his voice down to prevent Zses and Allie to overhear what he was saying.
Somehow, Crow's voice sounds more human than the last time he spoke with the chaos enthusiast gnome.

Allie Silvershaper |

The warmth of Zses' hug rivals the heat of her own body. It is the most comfortable Allie has felt in a long time.
He is going to hurt you, you know. Just like that one boy... And when he does...
Please! Don't ruin this! I really like him! I'm sure he won't hurt me. Plus, I can take care of myself!... Wait... What boy...
Allie reluctantly let go of Zses, her eyes blank, lost in thought. Absent mindedly, she plops down on his lap.
The boy who created me, stupid girl...
