"You took it back to her?" she asked, on hands and knees to look under the bed in case her shoes had gotten kicked under there.
Ardiente stands to get out of the way, looking around still somewhat disoriented by his abrupt awakening. "Uh... I don't remember you taking off your shoes." he says, still trying to throw off the drowses. He can't help but take a moment to stare at Raelle's butt, before realizing what exactly he was doing and blushing and averting his eyes.
Lang smiles You could never offend me. let me help Lang concentrates and channels his ki. in a move akin to Tai Chi. and about half the water in the bucket if now floating between lang's hands.
come on lets finish this and get back.
Lang smiles every time he looks at her hoping his cheerfulness rubs off on her.
She's now managing much easier with the bucket, with a good portion of the weight gone. "Thank you, Lang-kun." she says brightly, watching with something akin to wonder as the water floats in between his hands.
"Mina-saaaan!" she calls to the group as they near the campsite, waving with her free hand.
"Lang-kun and I brought some water for washing!" she calls loudly, stealth and decorum forgotten for a moment.
Ephebe had used a shell from her Caster to conjure up a Heroes' Feast...the villagers were a little offended at first, but now were simply amazed/horrified at how much she could eat in one sitting. This was the usual response to watching a dragon eat breakfast, so she was used to it.
She laughed as she heard Midori's enthusiasm. "Well, it's good to see that you two are enjoying the morning."
"Well, if you can do so well at that for me, you can do it for me and like two other people."
To get off of Dave's back, he grips his shoulder tighter and swings up into a one hand hand stand, Tybalt's small weight being nothing Dave's diamond bulk can't handle.
"Besides, if you're gonna be all protective and sweet, what else do you expect?"
He says that, then pushes off and flips in the air, landing with one foot-paw on a chair, other leg, both arms, and tail out; garnering a small round of applause from neighboring tables.
He plants his feet back on the ground and heads towards the line.
"Ya, Mel would be good. She's. *sniff* outside. Over there."
He points to a door.
She smiled at the compliment. "Thank you."
He smiles and gives a little bow
["Well, all I can say about the class is good luck. You're going to need it. You know what the students can be like."
"Indeed I was one last semester, after all" he says still smiling.
"Yes, I think having a clone with me would be a good idea. If nothing else it should put the girl at ease. She seems uncomfortable around women. I presume that the researchers she interacted with were female."
"Then one will be there. I don't know if it's so much your gender, or that you're a 'scientist'."
She kissed him back. "I know we need to work on our relationship being about more than the physical, but...I miss that aspect of it. I don't really want to lose that entirely. But I'm kinda scared that if we do you'll be thinking about....and my usual strategy to deal with fear is to just jump in and face my fears. So unless you have any big objection...I'm inviting you to join me in the shower."Ehos answers by letting his pad fall onto the bed, and gently turns around so they're cuddling belly-to-belly. There's a tender kiss - nothing about this kiss is dispassionate though. Instead of throwing himself into it, every motion is slow and deliberate, savouring every sensation. A different kind of passion.
He smiles and tilts his head silently towards the bathroom after the kiss breaks. Words were overrated anyway.
She pulled him after her to the bathroom and...
Fade to black
"You are beautiful too." she coos, her body laying alongside his. She puts her nose into his neck and 'nuzzles' for a moment. "Hey... you haven't had any accidents all night. That's always a good thing."He smiled. "I was about to say we could do this any time you wanted, but more accurately we can do this any time you want as long as its reasonably practical. There are some times when we're supposed to be doing other stuff after all."
"You are so beautiful," he said, just staring at her.
"I don't usually have accidents up here with the pigeons," he said, making a small sound of pleasure when she nuzzles his neck. "There's not a lot of suffering among pigeons. They don't need my ability. It makes them very relaxing to be around."
"You should probably go and get some breakfast before class...uh...you'll need some clothes for that too," he said reluctantly.
"You took it back to her?" she asked, on hands and knees to look under the bed in case her shoes had gotten kicked under there.Ardiente stands to get out of the way, looking around still somewhat disoriented by his abrupt awakening. "Uh... I don't remember you taking off your shoes." he says, still trying to throw off the drowses. He can't help but take a moment to stare at Raelle's butt, before realizing what exactly he was doing and blushing and averting his eyes.
"I kicked them off last night, when I took off the sweater...you were practically asleep standing up, so I'm not surprised you didn't notice," she said, totally unaware of her boyfriend's appreciation of the view of her backside.
"They're not under the bed," she said, sitting up. "I don't understand...it's not like they could just get up and walk away on their own."
"Yes, I think having a clone with me would be a good idea. If nothing else it should put the girl at ease. She seems uncomfortable around women. I presume that the researchers she interacted with were female.""Then one will be there. I don't know if it's so much your gender, or that you're a 'scientist'."
"Yes, well, same difference in this case. And it's pretty much impossible to be a doctor here without also being a scientist. We get some of the strangest conditions to treat."
when they walk into the cafeteria he opens his wings slightly, gently and non verbally indicating he'd prefer to be unencumberd by Tybalt "so who should we sit with today, Mels?"
Alreeneesha stands seeing Tybalt smiling she comes over, but walk pasts him, she's looking at David when she stops in front of him and says.
Angelica es est a voluptatem ad te sum Alreeneesha"
You are an Angelic, it is a pleasure to meet you, I am Alreeneea
Her light shines around her,
Good Vibrations.
He says, some to himself, not wanting to be outdone in front of the object of his affections by the light girl...
"Yes, well, same difference in this case. And it's pretty much impossible to be a doctor here without also being a scientist. We get some of the strangest conditions to treat."
He nods...
"Indeed."He seems to have more to say, but is hesitant which is odd for him.
"Yes, well, same difference in this case. And it's pretty much impossible to be a doctor here without also being a scientist. We get some of the strangest conditions to treat."He nods...
"Indeed."
He seems to have more to say, but is hesitant which is odd for him.
"Out with it...I can practically see what you're not saying, so you might as well say it out loud," she said, raising her eyebrows and looking at him expectantly.
"I'm just concerned about you that's all. I care about you, alot, and this girl makes my skin crawl. You have a good heart, despite of everything that you've been through, and you're making great progress in overcoming your past.."
He sighs...
"On the one side, I really hope that becasue you have similar backgrounds you may be the best person to help her, and through helping her, you can help yourself.
On the other side, that...other side of her is a psychopath. Working with her may have the complete opposite effect..."
He says, some to himself, not wanting to be outdone in front of the object of his affections by the light girl...
Turning her head she looks down at the Tybalt then Dave then Tybalt then Dave then Tybalt then lastly Dave.
"Tybalt sexum mutare volenti. Ut infantes haberet vobiscum?"
"Tybalt who wished to change sex. Having children with you?"
She asks Dave.
Silinrul slept a bit fitfully through the night, bothered by his new wings and bad dreams. Around four hours past midnight he finally settled down and was able to rest. He's awakened by the dawn of the sun, but is feeling lazy, and stays in bed. Besides, he had no idea what he was going to do next, at least not till he talked to Jaiye.
Nurse Julie is making her morning rounds noticing one of her patients awake.
good morning sir Silinrul. If you are feeling up to it I would like to check your dressings and change them if necessary. I would like you to remain in the infirmary for at least the morning until we are positive no further, changes, occur. she says ever so polite.
"Noooo! I am- we're not - we can't... I... Dave speaks Common."
He starts to object, holding up his paws, before pausing for a moment and getting flustered when people bring up things that are awkward for him. He quickly tries to put up a different subject.
"Noooo! I am- we're not - we can't... I... Dave speaks Common."
He starts to object, holding up his paws, before pausing for a moment and getting flustered when people bring up things that are awkward for him. He quickly tries to put up a different subject.
Dave blinks "ok before I get to all the other parts of this...seeing as I'm still processing it Where does the "Dave speaks common" part have any relevance on anything else that was said?"
"Well yeah I gave her stuff back, she came back for it, what was I supposed to hold her back from it" he grins
"Wait...she came here looking for it? Oh, man. This could be an awkward explanation," she said, blushing. "Please tell me she was alone when she came here to get her stuff?
"I'm just concerned about you that's all. I care about you, alot, and this girl makes my skin crawl. You have a good heart, despite of everything that you've been through, and you're making great progress in overcoming your past.."
He sighs...
"On the one side, I really hope that becasue you have similar backgrounds you may be the best person to help her, and through helping her, you can help yourself.
On the other side, that...other side of her is a psychopath. Working with her may have the complete opposite effect..."
"I'm not going to become a psychopath just because I'm treating one...and if it makes you feel any better I'm more than willing to bring in others to help with her treatment should that become necessary."
"Before I came here I'd never known any compassion or kindness...well, not any that was real. Occasionally some fake kindness used in order to get something. I didn't know there was any other way. That's changed. I've changed. I won't go back to what I was."
"You know...that I...that the worst things that happened to me are always fresh in my memory as if they were happening right now. If I can live with that and move past it...at least as best as I've been able to...then there's nothing that psychotic little girl can do to me that's going to change anything."
"And she's not like me...not even like I was. She's not nasty because she doesn't know how to be nice. She's not trying to control everything so it can't hurt her. She's more broken inside than even I ever was. She just wants to watch the world burn for the fun of it. She scares me, to be honest."
"Well, you do... and ... I didn't want to talk about that..."
After playing his violin at the sun's rising with Vai and Fei below performing their morning routines, as was his habit the last several days, Kezzin makes his way towards the cafeteria for breakfast.
when marcell does get to the lunchroom, she looks up at where they give out the food, wondering how she'll get up there.
He falls into place behind a tiny dragon shaped creature and after a moment of watching it looking up at where the food is served, speaks up, "You know, those things on your back are useful for reaching high places. And if you would like a hand I can carry a tray for you."
"Oh! Hi."
marcell turns to look at krezzin."Yeah, but i don't know how to fly... I've been a dragon for less than an hour... that would be great! Thank you! Getting up there was only, the first problem..."
|
"Well yeah I gave her stuff back, she came back for it, what was I supposed to hold her back from it" he grins"Wait...she came here looking for it? Oh, man. This could be an awkward explanation," she said, blushing. "Please tell me she was alone when she came here to get her stuff?
"well, I was there, as were the two of you, let's see was the ice cat, te firebird chick and the dude who could make snowballs there pre did they come in afterwards" he taps on his chin.
"There is that, well if you don't want to talk I won't pry, once I point out this one thing, I'm not nearly ready to have a kid in any way, so if that was a plan of yours you should put that on hold"
"Ya. Long. Long hold. I mean not that I had- ... just never mind..."
A slight thought crosses that, thinking about it now for the first time, he would be OK with having kids in the distant future. There's a lot to go through before then, though...
"Now if you want to talk, that's different"
"I-... maybe later. Not here with all these people..."
His face takes on the cute light blue tint he gets when he blushes.
Lang smiles You could never offend me. let me help Lang concentrates and channels his ki. in a move akin to Tai Chi. and about half the water in the bucket if now floating between lang's hands.
come on lets finish this and get back.
Lang smiles every time he looks at her hoping his cheerfulness rubs off on her.
She's now managing much easier with the bucket, with a good portion of the weight gone. "Thank you, Lang-kun." she says brightly, watching with something akin to wonder as the water floats in between his hands.
"Mina-saaaan!" she calls to the group as they near the campsite, waving with her free hand.
"Lang-kun and I brought some water for washing!" she calls loudly, stealth and decorum forgotten for a moment.
Ephebe had used a shell from her Caster to conjure up a Heroes' Feast...the villagers were a little offended at first, but now were simply amazed/horrified at how much she could eat in one sitting. This was the usual response to watching a dragon eat breakfast, so she was used to it.
She laughed as she heard Midori's enthusiasm. "Well, it's good to see that you two are enjoying the morning."
Lang returns the water to the bucket, then bows to Ephebe. Good morning Sifu Blackscales. he says respectfully to his teacher.
turning to address everyone.
We will be leaving soon, so please make sure you have everything you need. I hope to reach the temple by lunch time.
then addressing the villagers Thank you all for your hospitality, I hope to visit this village again and stay a bit longer as well.
"Thank you." Sara bows to the girl in the way that Lang does to people and finishes the meal.
"I need to go now, but I hope we can talk again. You seem nice." She smiles to Kay and goes to pack up her things. She didn't get much of it out, as she fell asleep on Sun before she could unpack her sleeping bag or anything.
She uses a spell to summon a large badger to come and bury the fire.
When its work is done, she hugs it and it vanishes as quickly as it came.
Lang looks to Sara mimicking him and just smiles, she will fit in just fine up here
lang takes the reigns of Simba and calls Sara over. Sara, I want to teach you something new.
"well, I was there, as were the two of you, let's see was the ice cat, te firebird chick and the dude who could make snowballs there pre did they come in afterwards" he taps on his chin."Well yeah I gave her stuff back, she came back for it, what was I supposed to hold her back from it" he grins"Wait...she came here looking for it? Oh, man. This could be an awkward explanation," she said, blushing. "Please tell me she was alone when she came here to get her stuff?
"Ice cat?" she squeaked. "Oh, gods...."
"It just had to be the one person at this school who really hates me... this is gonna be worse than yesterday when that clown slipped a potion in my drink and turned me into a boy in front of the whole cafeteria..."
"I'm just concerned about you that's all. I care about you, alot, and this girl makes my skin crawl. You have a good heart, despite of everything that you've been through, and you're making great progress in overcoming your past.."
He sighs...
"On the one side, I really hope that becasue you have similar backgrounds you may be the best person to help her, and through helping her, you can help yourself.

"You're right. I didn't think you'd go back to the way you were...I just...when she said she would kill you...that wasn't bravado. She was dead serious, and believes it.
I guess she scared me too. It's not an emotion I'm used too, to be honest. I'm sorry."he looks somewhat ashamed of himself.
"I would have missed you terribly, were that the case..." he says as he kisses her gently, just a smidgen of the worry and relief leaking through his tone.
"Well, everyone has a duty, servants no less than anyone else. But I fear I will enjoy them exercising that duty a little too much." he says with his trademark grin.
"That having been said, I am not certain 'Thel will accompany us back to your homeland. He seems hesitant to commit to such. I will not press him on it, for now, though. He is good council and great teacher of Elven ways."
She returns the kiss, but says nothing more on the matter, deciding it wasn't a coversation for the breakfast 'table'.
"Did he advise you on the decor the other evening, I wonder? Is he native to Laeren?" Tyrrin asks, taking a small bite from an apple.
"He did indeed. I don't know where he's from exactly, but he is definitely used to politics."
Serrin laughs maliciously at her cousin falling flat on her face. Served the fool right. Telling her to get glasses, as if that would solve the problem.
She gets up finally when she hears somebody mention enrolling in school, and as she walks out of the tent, the shadows move with her, bringing darkness where ever she goes.
"You're right. I didn't think you'd go back to the way you were...I just...when she said she would kill you...that wasn't bravado. She was dead serious, and believes it.
I guess she scared me too. It's not an emotion I'm used too, to be honest. I'm sorry."
he looks somewhat ashamed of himself.
She reached out and squeezed his hand. "I know she means it. And I do take her threats seriously. Last night, if the school hadn't intervened, she would have found it much harder to follow through on her threat than she anticipated. Presuming she could chip her way through the ice wall, it's not that easy to kill a polar bear even if you do have claws," she said with a wry grin. "So trust that I know how to handle myself. Plus, Champion of Luck, remember? So the odds are literally always in my favor."
She pulled him after her to the bathroom and...
Fade to black
One extra long shower later...
Ehos was toweled off and dressed, and looking and smelling alot better than he had before the shower. He kisses Jaiye lightly on the cheek, stretching himself out with a satisfied grin. 'Breakfast?' he asks, taking up his pad again.
"I don't usually have accidents up here with the pigeons," he said, making a small sound of pleasure when she nuzzles his neck. "There's not a lot of suffering among pigeons. They don't need my ability. It makes them very relaxing to be around."
"You should probably go and get some breakfast before class...uh...you'll need some clothes for that too," he said reluctantly.
She looks down at herself, then giggles slightly. "Yeah, I forgot last night. I'll just cover myself up with my wings until I get back to Asha and I's room."
She nuzzles his neck again, delighted at the reaction she had gotten the first time. "Do you want me to bring you some breakfast up here?"
"Ice cat?" she squeaked. "Oh, gods...."
"It just had to be the one person at this school who really hates me... this is gonna be worse than yesterday when that clown slipped a potion in my drink and turned me into a boy in front of the whole cafeteria..."
Ardiente shrugged and was about to say something along the lines of 'who cares what Tybalt thinks' when the second thing Raelle said was finally deciphered by his still-half-asleep brain. He was instantly awake, fiery anger coursing through his veins. "What? Who? I swear, if Mithros was lying..."
"Breakfast it is my dear." The two of them make their to the cafe, Ace whistling a random tune.
looks from Dave to Tybalt and back again, trying to keep up.
"Ut ego sentio sentiatur accidere. Si sermonem meum doleo ineptus erat. Ego novi quia consortia omnium. Quod est multo difficilius quam putabamus. Amator solum facere volui Tybalts cognitus. Ut video, cur ita sit, vidi te hinc maxime butiful tantum quantum video, exquisita forma decorus modo. Amans norma simul hic plures?"
Then in Common
I sense I may have misjudged this situation. I am sorry if my communication was inept. I am new to all this being interaction. This is considerably harder than I thought. I wished only to make the acquaintance of the Tybalts lover. I can see why he has you as such, you are the most beautiful being I have seen here so far, from what I see, exquisite in form, elegant in manner. Is the norm here just one lover at a time or more than one?
'I am sorry if I am doing this badly, this is all very new to me"
She smiles, looking down, some times wile she talked a look of innocent bemusement plays over her beautiful symmetrical and radiant Celestial face. Her near naked form moves in unease at times as she seems to be thinking over her communications. Her long elegant legs, taller than Tybalt shifting a little at times. All the wile an aura of pour good coming off her. She is in form every thing Tybalt is not, tall, elegant, female and wile being innocent also in her way assertive, there dos not seem to be any needlessness about her. Under her actions and trepidation there is no mistaking a strong and self possessed female.
Carl wakes with a start as a small animal trys to make nest in his beard.
Looking up at the morning sky from hes back he belches, has a good stretch and gets up. He spots a small stream and bending over dips his head in the cold water. Shaking it like a dog wile standing back up.
"What a &#*#^#& lovely day, right time for som-et ta eat and a bucket o coffee and a smoke."
He reaches for a cigar but then remembers he left them on he's ship.
"Sweaty Ogres &*##&#*s, well coffee will have to do"
He starts back to the cool and the mess hall they have for an food eatin.
While Tybalt is not tall, what there is of him does bear a sleek and, yes, feminine quality, as do many catfolk, male or female.
Tybalt remains silent of words, but Dave's emotive sense tells another story.
First compassion for the confused creature's apology. She hadn't meant to do that.
Then a mix of embarrassement and slight longing over being called Dave's lover.
Then she says... that... trying to get in on Dave with the exact things he himself had said the night before. A bright flash of jealousy before swiftly cooling into sadness, then just the slightest bit of hope that Dave might care enough to say no to her apparent offer.
All of this is along with the undertone that is always there. The little pink love feeling Tybalt has. The one Dave rarely goes without in Tybalt's presence, since before Tybalt had even admitted to feeling it.
This is most of whats left in the end. He wants Dave to be happy, even if it meant he couldn't be. And because of that, the little pink feeling burns a little brighter and is the only one left after the quickly flurry.
The pink feeling is also the only thing directing all of his will power to keep himself from yelling 'yes! Yes! Just one!' To try and keep Dave for himself.
But still... they had just finished saying... Love means you care more about his happiness than your own. Jealousy is a disease...
Vai lands next to Fei, though oddly she doesn't retract her wings. She returns his pride with a note of her own. "It's a new day. A new beginning." there's something a bit odd in her voice too. A kind of zest. She bites her lip and looks him in the eye. "Would it be alright if I kissed you?" she asks, obviously not throwing all caution to the winds quite yet. "I... want to try pushing our boundries a little."
Fei gets a somewhat distant look to his face for a brief moment, as if deep in thought. He then leans forward and very gently kisses her. Knowing that she must be free to pull away if she needs to, he does not put his arms around her, but keeps them clasped behind his back.
He is able to hold it for a few seconds before the earth starts to shudder beneath their feet. He quickly steps back, the tremors waning a few seconds after he does so.
Smiling somewhat apologetically, he says "Yes, it is alright." (=^-^=)
Dave chuckles "appology accepted, least by me it is" he pauses then continues "and many thanks on the complements, they are appreciated, as to the question of quantity of lovers, most commonly you only see two people in such a relationship, and usually they pair off male female, but neither of these are always te case"at some point during tybalt's emotional tether ball game Dave puts his wing partially around Tybalt, attempting to comfort him with the light physical contact
Vickory came back to the school after examining the grounds most of the night. Seeing as most folks were headed to someplace they called the "lunchroom" she decided to follow and see what it was all about.
As she was nearly there she crossed paths with two folks, one of which was clearly a warrior and even dressed in armor. "Ah, a fellow warrior! I see they have all kinds who train at this place. I am Vickory West, who are you?"
|
"Phaedra, Lilly, cease your petty squabbles, they are unbecoming of us, we should be presenting a more united front, in the face of the others, signaling our strength, if we fight amongst ourselves the others will write us off" his eyes glow dark and his voice hardens "I will not allow that"Lily glares slightly at Phaedra but then, holding her head high, turns away from her siblings and back to her meager luggage - she had only been allowed to bring two bags, which was hardly enough for a decent wardrobe, but she would have to make do. "I need to change, Lucas." she says flatly. She's still wearing her sleeping clothes, after all.
"very well, I shall leave you, shall I go secure us a placement at the school, or would you prefer the cots" he says, drawing out the last word.
She reached out and squeezed his hand. "I know she means it. And I do take her threats seriously. Last night, if the school hadn't intervened, she would have found it much harder to follow through on her threat than she anticipated. Presuming she could chip her way through the ice wall, it's not that easy to kill a polar bear even if you do have claws," she said with a wry grin. "So trust that I know how to handle myself. Plus, Champion of Luck, remember? So the odds are literally always in my favor."
He smiles, and squeezes her hand back.
"Alright my little polar bear. I really don't think you weak, or incapable of defending yourself. Ah, well sorry. I won't bring it up again."
She pulled him after her to the bathroom and...
Fade to black
One extra long shower later...
Ehos was toweled off and dressed, and looking and smelling alot better than he had before the shower. He kisses Jaiye lightly on the cheek, stretching himself out with a satisfied grin. 'Breakfast?' he asks, taking up his pad again.
"Mmm," she said, clearly in a much better mood now. "I think that I should probably check on Sil first...he might be able to leave the infirmary now and I'm betting he'll be hungry too....though not for as good of a reason," she added with a wink as she pulled on her school uniform.
