Emir smiled at her reaction towards his words. Then with a large hand he placed it on her head waving her hair in a playful manner. She was small in cute in his eyes. "Don't take me serious all the time. I enjoy playing around. If you need anything just ask me," he lowered his hand with his smile still on his face. The smile only faded when the lights of the inn began to shake. He turned his head and looked around. "I wonder what that was. I hope it's not a blizzard." Emir didn't really like the cold as much because he didn't like heating his body all the time. He turned back towards the female in front of him questioning of her age and race but kept from asking for now. "Is there anything I could help you with today?"

[Sorry it took me a while to post]

[that's OK ^^]

The ruffling of her hair had come as quite sudden - and she didn't like it. How - patronising! - she wasn't a child, even if she had a human child's size. She has an adult, completely and utterly. It brought a temporary narrowing of the eyes before she forced herself to ignore it. After all, how could you expect people who didn't live around them to accept her size as normal?
The lights thing -was- a bit peculiar, but didn't really phase her; that was nothing particularly of interest to her, so long as they stayed on.
"A blizzard?" her eyes widened. "Do you get them often here?" At least he was polite when talking to her, he was.

Vincent yawned and stared up at the ceiling, putting his hands behind his head he soaked in the heat. It was comforting and warm, like a familiar place that he could not remember, giving him a distinct feeling of nostalgia.

That thought was interrupted as he felt the inn shake momentarily. He felt uncomfortable all of a sudden. The rush of energy had excited him and drove him do what he didn't want to do anymore.

He shut his eyes and covered his ears quickly and ducked his head underwater, trying to fight the dark thoughts that now decided to attempt to invade his mind. Power is what corrupted him and drove him to madness, but he didn't want to give in, he had gone for so long without the temptation, that he had almost forgotten about the dark claws that held his soul.

He continued to hold his breath, remaining underwater as he fought with his soul, not his body and thus, left the water undisturbed since he went under.

Ikea smiled with one bright blue eye that shined in the lighting of the sky. The idea of some place warm was so astounding that she was in such a rush to follow Sera. A hot spring, the women said, hot water that would slake her need for warmth. Images of many different types of hot springs flooded through her empty mind before fading away into the darkness again. Child like giggles echoed through her thoughts as if there were many children inside of her.

She elevated her hand and ran her pail fingers from the roots of her pink hair to the uneven ends, while her other hand reached out for Novak. Novak moved his large body to her tiny side so she could feel his fur. With a hint of a smile she finally spoke with her lips, "I would love to." Her voice was so kind it seemed wrong; completely different from her thoughts. It was almost as if she was planning something, but in all it may have just been her. She may have been listening to herself and just thinking that it was odd to hear her own voice. It was odd to hear a kind voice from something that would kill what ever is in her way; yet she did not portray this nor did she let on that the thought was in her mind.

A mystery indeed.

She would follow behind Sera taking in the beauty of the place she was about to enter. Her tiny feet sank into the cold snow until she was finally inside. Novak stay within a few feet behind both of them so that Ikea could walk along side Sera. Every movement Ikea made seemed like she was walking under water, gracefully as if she were rich and owned the world. As she walked she pulled and removed the different number of cords from her bottom and top piece. She was about to remove everything and walk bare but Novak warned her not to.

While she was moving her mind was else were, studying the few people inside of the inn. She could feel them almost...three males and a few females here and there most of which were hiding out. There was also an evil aura struggling with itself that so notice all too easily. Amick seemed to be so worried about unstable people but did not seem to notice the ones already here. Her comfort counted on Sera and Novak. They are what keep Ikea calm. Ikea turned her head to glance at Sera who was obviously taller then she.

[The_Butterfly_Effect]

Sera felt a rush of warmth tingle across her skin, starting from her lower back and working its way around her body. It certainly felt strange to hear Ikea's voice, especially when Sera was used to the mental link they'd had, and Ikea's mental voice sounded very different compared to the one her ears just picked up. But nonetheless, Sera beamed with a large smile,
Great! She rooted happily and turned around to head towards the house with Ikea and Novak in tow.
A dip in the hot spring was a good idea indeed, Sera needed to relax and gather her thoughts in an orderly manner; rather than what they were like at the moment, which was a buzzing mess. She needed to sift through the recalled memories and make sense of them, and in the process, try not to lose herself. She had to stay focussed.

There were quiet tapping sounds behind her and Sera wondered what was going on; in her peripheral vision she realised that Ikea was removing bits of cord from her body. Sera didn't seem to mind this, in fact she smiled, innocently thinking how eager Ikea was to go to the hot spring; rather than how wrong these actions were in this modern society full of social inhibitions.

As before, Sera completely ignored the boundaries of the hot springs and pushed open whichever door she wanted, which just so happened to be the males side yet again; her subconscious having been drawn to the turmoil thoughts of a particular being.
Well, this is it! Her hands lifted and swirled about in the steamy room where one is supposed to discard their clothing, and behind her was the wooden path leading towards the rocks and pools of hot water. With a big smile, Sera could feel the heat coursing through her body, an invigorating sensation that was the reason for her skin to always tingle slightly. Her eyes danced colours from many shades of blue and green before settling on a golden-brown shade, like autumn leaves.
Without a word she began to tug her clothing off, tossing it to one side without a care.
You ready? Sera glanced over at Ikea and also wondered if Novak would be going into the water, because so far they hadn't left each others side.

[Starfruit N Mangos]

Novak shook his head watching each cord that Ikea remove fall to the ground. She was leaving a trail behind that Novak didn't like too much. The large wolf quickly picked up the cords in his mouth and carried them behind Sera and Ikea. From behind he watched Ikea play and fidget with her top piece as if it was uncomfortable against her skin. In fact it was. Ikea wanted to take the damn thing off so bad she was about to do it right there in the hall way. The warmth that the inn alone provide was almost enough for Ikea to be happy; but she surely didn't want to pass up the hot springs.

Finally Sera had pushed the door to the hot springs open. Novak and Ikea had never been exposed to certain rooms have meanings; so neither of them seem to care which room they went in. Novak on the other hand sat the bunch of cords down next to a towel someone had left outside. Ikea then turned to him patting his head and letting him know that he didn't have to follow her inside. Ikea gave him a soft smile and hurried in behind Sera. Novak yawed spreading his jaws so wide that every one of his fangs was visible. Then moving along the side of the wall he sat resting so that people could still walk by. Ikea was a lot of work looking out for and it showed in how tired poor Novak seem to be.

Meanwhile on the inside Ikea had just showed up when Sera was taking off her clothes. She clapped her hands out of pure happiness to be able to pull the technology off of her skin. The hard thing would be getting her to put it back on. She looked down breathing slowly from the hot and thick air and pulled the top off. She dropped it, but the before it could smash against the wood floor it hovered in the air before slowly falling; same thing with her bottoms. Ikea stretched her arms out at her sides with a large smile on her face. She was free! Nothing from that lab was holding onto her any longer.

Clapping both of her hands through her hair and holding it back like a ponytail Ikea studied the water. This place is wonderful. Gently biting her lower lip she ran, no dashed into the hot waters jumping into the air and came crashing down braking the calm surface. She almost hit the guy already in the water, but she messed him on purpose. Ikea rather act as if she didn't know he was there, yet she was still aware of him. If he wanted to harm her then she would deal with it later. If he was hear to just enjoy the warm waters then Ikea would not complain. Coming to the top she giggled and pushed her hair back as she waved for Sera to follow. Hot water trickled down the side of her face and off her chin. The numb feelings in her fingers and toes tingled as they warmed up from the water around her.

[O.t.h.e.l.l.o.]

[I would just like to say thanks to the people who continue to post here every week. Unfortunately for others they will be removed.]

Emir was so carefree that he ignored the bothered look she had given him. Instead he just laughed at her reaction about blizzards. Holding his hand behind his head he smiled in a playful manner. Chuckling he finally answered her, "No, not as much in the winter it usually just snows until spring is near. Come if you like I'll make you some hot chocolate." Emir turned from the small female and headed towards the kitchen. He seemed to completely over look the two females that pass. One of which he failed to catch a name a number of times and the other he never meet.

Once in the kitchen he pulled out a mug before taking down a second just in case his small friend would like a drink. He loved hot chocolate and could drink it any time of the year no matter if it was spring, fall, or summer. He couldn't help the fact that he enjoyed hot things. His brother was the same but Amick would never admit to something like that.

[Nelrond Magensie]

Vincent Burst up and out of the water, his upper body being the only part of his body that exposed itself to the air. He cried out as he let the air out of his lungs and sucked in fresh air. His eyes were open wide and were white as he ran his fingers down his face, his eyes closing slowly as his body fell still and he sat against the one side of the hot spring. Not noticing the people who had just entered the hot spring as well.

It took a moment, but he calmed himself down and he opened his eyes to find two females in the springs with him. His mind was still frazzled and thus, when he spoke, it was merely gibberish. "ig... gu..." He grabbed at his throat in frustration and heat came off of his hands, soothing the tense muscles of his vocal chords and tongue.

He took another breath before speaking again, and all that had happened within an instant. "am... am I in the wrong room?" He asked nervously, not sure how to act. Though he was sure he had entered the males side of the springs.

[The_Butterfly_Effect]

Sera observed the display of Ikea's power yet again, with slight awe and wondered just what on earth she was. The things she wore as clothing were not what Sera knew as clothes, they were just pieces of cords and something and Ikea seemed ecstatic to be rid of them. Sera noticed such changes in Ikea, a large weight lifting off of her and she couldn't help but grin along with all of this.

Her feet moved slowly along the path, just as Ikea dashed off and leapt into the water. Sera laughed, her mental voice echoing unnaturally about the room as her lips remained closed but curling into a smile. The subconscious of her mind had always been aware of the male in the water, gathering information, obtained from the surface thoughts of his mind and presence. But of course Sera wasn't paying any conscious attention to her surroundings, in the company of Ikea and Novak, her mind guard had dropped down and she was no longer attentive to everything.
So that is why when she gracefully stepped into the water and made her way over to Ikea, her eyes widened with shock when the male suddenly burst into the clear. Her entire body went rigid, muscles tensing, but as her eyes gazed at him, her subconscious released the information it had gathered and Sera relaxed, now acting as if she had always known he was there; which in a way she had.

Blinking in slight surprise at the incoherent sounds coming from his mouth, Sera glanced at Ikea before then looking back at the male; without a thought towards the fact that Ikea and herself were both stark and most definitely in the wrong side. Though it was two against one.
Sera frowned a little, regretfully remembering the lesson she had been taught by Emir about the fact that there were two different sides. He had told her such a thing so that events such as this would not occur; but then Sera never was very good at taking orders.
Oh right. She said flatly and then simply shrugged her shoulders. I don't see what the big deal is... I like this room, how about you Ikea?

Lifting her hands, she pushed some strands of hair away from her face, tucking them behind her ears before settling down in the water and allowing the steam to swirl about her; almost playfully, dancing, with her dark violet eyes watching every movement.

[Starfruit N Mangos]

Ikea smiled at the sound of Seras unnatural laugh. It made her feel all giggly in side like a child being tickled to death. Since she was so small, when it came to height even, the water only leveled off with her chest. She was completely covered even when she was standing. She prepared herself to splash Sera once she was in reaching distance but the sudden appearance of the male caused her actions to be put on hold.

Yes, she was aware of him but she really wasn't paying him too much attention. Once the hidden male burst to life again a short scream escaped Ikeas lips, and a small shield burst around her; pushing all the water aside and living her body exposed. She covered her lips with her slim fingers trying to hold back a short laugh. Not at him but herself. She stared at Vincent as the water slid down the sides of her bubble. When she pulled herself together the shield disappeared and the water caved in around her. The remaining water showered over her head.

Ikea are you ok? Novaks peaceful voice asked her through his telepathy. Ikea quickly answered him to keep him from charging inside and attacking what he saw first. She watched Vincent try and get his words clear enough for them to hear. Then turned towards Sera a little confused...well that's what she looked like on the out side, but on the inside she was pondering why his eyes were white. Sera's eyes were different too.

"Huh?" Ikea snapped her head towards Sera as if she had been taken out of a trance; her wet hair swinging around and hugging the side of her cheeks. Her thoughts got the best of her and pulled most of her attention towards the changing colors of the eyes. "Oh," she laughed playfully, "Yeah. A rooms a room, and I do quite enjoy this one. Do you not sir?" She turned towards Vincent taking a few steps closer so she could get a good look at his eyes. Maybe she was just seeing things and the mist in the room covered the color of his real eyes.

She raised her hands as if she was going to touch him, but she didn't. She leaned her head back trying to get a better look at them. She would do the same to Sera later and she may even be subjected to closer contact. Her cheeks were turning red from the heat in the room. Obviously Ikea didn't care about gender differences. She was close to leaning on him or trying to push him over because of his height. She wanted to get a closer look at his eyes, yet a small voice in the back of her mind kept telling her not to get too close, so she made sure she didn't. Well...it also depended on what was the meaning of too close in her book.

[Concinnity Blaise]

Hot chocolate? What was this hot chocolate...? Choc-o-late. It was a lush word, it really was - choc-o-late. It rippled off the tongue, rich and dark and soft. It was a word she was eager to find out more about - hopefully it wasn't like that 'koffee' stuff - all bitter!
"Cho-co-latte..." she tailed after him, following his path around the women, curious about this hot chocolate.

[Kitsune]

Just outside a small house in the human village south of the inn, an old widowed woman was seeing off two robed figures.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay a little while longer?" the woman asked Nevermore.

The strange fellow and his quiet companion wandered into the village the day before, requesting a place to rest. A little conscience about taking in the duo, most everyone turned them away, but a woman actually welcomed them in. Sure she was a little unsure of them, too, but she couldn't just leave them out in the cold. Nevermore was a nice looking young man (albeit a little strange what with the heavy black robes he wore) and she wanted to look out for him if possible. The small woman who accompanied him was equally strange, too. Iseria kind of reminded the old woman of a pale porcelain doll she had when she was young.

"Now that you mention it," Nevermore began casually, eyeing the sunlight glimmering off the snow around them. "I think it would be best if we stayed a little while longer. Perhaps until nightfall."

The old woman stared at him. Who in their right mind would wander off into the wilderness at night? Obviously, that's when the wild animals came out to find food and though the tall fellow would be more than a match for most of them, the quiet female with him would be an easy meal. Would he put her life in danger like that willingly?

"We will leave now," Iseria interrupted. Her voice was hauntingly soft and faint, but at the same time carried such an air with it that it practically commanded everyone to stop and take notice.

"But the sun..." Nevermore started to plead his case. Sadly, he was an expert at reading Iseria's facial expressions and the one she donned at that moment told him she would not listen to his argument. Did she foresee their pursuers closing in on them if they stayed? Regardless, his argument wasn't all that valid anyway. So long as he was with the oracle and remained wrapped in the protective flesh of his human form, the sunlight would not harm him. The gentleman clad in black turned his attention to the old woman and bowed politely. "Thank you for allowing us to rest here."

Confused, the woman could only bow in return at first. Gradually, words came to her again. "I still don't know what business you have up there, but it must be important. You take good care of yourselves. As soon as the sun starts to set, you put up that tent I gave you and make a fire."

"Yes, ma'am." It sounded so weird saying that when he was hundreds of years her elder. There was no need to reveal that little tidbit of information, though. Nevermore threw a dark colored cloak around Iseria's body and kneeled in front of her, situating her on his back. Once her weight was evenly placed, he stood up to his full height again, took back his silver staff, offered the kind old woman an appreciative smile and the two departed. When they reached the outskirts of the village, Nevermore stopped a young boy playing with his dog on the roadside and asked him to return the tent to the old lady. It was just extra weight and they had no intention of setting up camp when night came. After handing off the tent, they continued on.

That was three days ago.

Still wandering through the forest, Nevermore and Iseria barely spoke to each other; both of them content with listening to the sounds of nature. Calm forests did not exist in the world they came from and the singing of birds was a treat. The oracle was actually walking on her own now, her gloved hand pensively wrapped around a fold of Nevermore's cloak as she followed him. She had fallen once already and did not wish to fall again. The snow was deep and very cold. Occasionally, he would ask if she needed to stop for a rest, but Iseria would always refuse. They had to keep moving and she did not want to slow down their progress. Besides their destination was just up ahead and she could rest once they were there.

The trees gradually began to thin out as they reached their destination at last. The snow in the path also seemed to lessen. As they stepped free of the forest, Nevermore paused to stare at the sight that greeted them. Iseria had described it to him, but seeing with his own eyes was an entirely different experience. It was beautiful. No, beautiful was an understatement. It just seemed too good to be true. Had they died in the woods and unknowingly crossed over into Paradise? Of course not. What Paradise would let someone like him in? "This...this is what you saw last month?"

Iseria nodded, allowing her grip on his cloak to lessen. She lifted her head just enough for her blood red eyes to look upon the building with alarming calmness. In fact, she looked absolutely bored. Bored of everything around her and of her current company, though that wasn’t the case at all. She ALWAYS looked like she was two steps away from falling asleep.

Thankful that the walkway was more or less cleared of deep snow, it made the trip to the front door that much faster for him and his smaller companion. As always when approaching new places, Nevermore steeled himself and closed off his mind, fearful that there may be people here who would attack them upon realizing who they were. Iseria didn't have to bother. Her mind was filled with strange visions, warped images and absurdities that flashed chaotically to wild, confusing music. Nothing made sense.

They approached the front door and, after Nevermore tested the door handle, entered the building. The vampire took a moment to marvel at his new surroundings while Iseria remained perfectly still at his side, veiled eyes focused ahead. A place like this would cost a fortune for sure. How were they going to afford to stay?

[O.t.h.e.l.l.o.]

Out of frustration Amick had went for a run. Although he wasn't properly dressed he didn't seem to care how cold it was outside; to keep from freezing his body temperature change to a more warm and suitable level. White puffs of clouds formed around his pale lips floating and dispersing into the air behind him. The snow whiten two feet of him melted from his heat alone and the water moved so that none of which was in his way. The blue lining around his sliver blue eyes moved as if they were small rivers; constantly moving clockwise of his eyes. Amick didn't go to far from the inn. He ran around the inn to keep close just in case he brother caused trouble in some way. It wasn't impossible.

His sliver hair almost glowed in the sun light as he waved in-between the trees. The more he ran the better he felt. Perhaps more free was the word. He grinned showing the small fangs forming in him mouth. On his tenth loop around the inn he notice from a far two people closing in on the inn. Quickly skidding to a stop he stood next to a tree and watch the mysterious few walk inside. He rest his elbow on the tree and his head on the back of his hand thinking to himself. He immediately thought of Sera and the second girl that showed up but these two were much more different. They seemed to have a lot more control over themselves compared to the other girls and a few others inside.

The fact that the two seemed to have more composer compared to the rest made Amick feel a little at ease. Then again the fact that they seemed a little dark meant trouble in the inn. Already they were pulling trouble towards the inn. Taking a deep breath he lowered his head and began to slowly jog to the side of the inn, entering in the side door.

He ran his tongue over his fangs to make sure they were gone before he walked into the main room to meet the new comers of the inn. Instead of welcoming them he said, "How can I help you two?" His goggles were fogging up so he moved them back and on top of his head. The black marking was now more visible and the movement of the blue in his eyes was clearer then ever.

[O.t.h.e.l.l.o.]

Emir smiled at the way she was saying chocolate. You would think the girl has never had it! To Emir it's impossible not to have had tried hot chocolate at least once. Heating the water so that it could be at the right temperature for him and her, he mixed, added to marshmallows and blow over his mug. Then turning towards the Halfling he handed her a mug. "Careful it's hot," he smiled pulling his cup to his lips and taking a small sip. Not using his powers all the time came in handy when it came to being around people who didn't share the same trait. This way he wouldn't mistakenly made hers too hot for her to drink or burn anyone else.

[Kitsune]

Quite fascinated with the main room, Nevermore had wandered a little further than he had meant to. There was just so much to see. His hand slid across a the back of a chair, experimentally trying to feel the smoothness of the wood but failing miserably. Though he had skin, it didn't exactly function like normal skin. Moving on, he went about studying other things. Unlike the village they had passed through, this place didn't reek of humans. There were other smells though... Dangerous smells. Absently brushing a hand through his dark hair, he paused at a window to look out at the snow.

Hearing a voice behind him, Nevermore quickly turned to face Amick. Despite having wheeled around as if he were ready to pounce on whoever dared to sneak up on him, Nevermore had a pleasantly warm smile plastered on his face. A little too pleasant. "Ah yes, I was informed that this was an inn. And a very nice one, might I add. Ahem, the young lady and I would like a room." He gestured toward Iseria.

Unlike her companion, the veiled lady hadn't budged an inch since they arrived. She merely stared ahead quietly. Patiently waiting for them to move again.

This didn't seem to faze the taller companion, so he was likely used to this behavior from her. "We would prefer a room together if possible."
