[Mintaka]

He winced, thinking about that answer. It was one he really needed to change now, moreso if the words were true. He frowned slightly and thought fo it a moment and changed his mind. Conscious lying... no.

"I've bene staying in Beryl's room... though I am not so sure that's the best idea now or anymore, myself..."

She kept her piece, promising that there would be vengeance one day, even if completley not from her hand but by some other force. Everythign was not flowers and clouds and fluffy white rabbits and the sooner peple realized that the better.

He stood, carefully, making sure he didn't go over again. "Need to see about something else maybe." He closed his eyes, sighing.

[Draconayzia]

Without even asking his approval she hoisted him up so he was riding piggy-back. "I know where to go."

SHe kept a careful hold on his legs as she climbed. "I thik I knowe the dietess you were forced to merge with. Sad to say I wish she had remained dead. It's thanks in part to her that I'm the last of my kind." Her voice was bitter, still remembering bloodstained cliffs and the face of her ih na arri as he'd sealed her away and said goodbye.

[Mintaka]

He shivered slightly at the words, sighing softly. "We can't always get what we want," he said somewhat sagely. And even when you did, it wasn't so plesant, he considered adding but thought better.

Khiviance sighed slightly and considering spekaing, but thought better. It wasn't worth it right now... wasn't worth the effort. Dead indeed... over what? The other goddess was hardly dead, for one.

"Thank you again. It seems the more I know... the lessa ware I am sometimes." He half-smirked, and shook his head. "It's best though I be ready for the worst."

[Draconayzia]

"True. It seems a waste though. So much effort put into bringing back a life that is used so poorly. I asked beryl once adn she told me that had Harmodius not collected the essences of the gods here they would have remained dead."

She opened the door to Beryl's rooms and walked over to the palet she assumed was his. The scent seemed to match. She could also scent Beryl in teh room. There were powerful emotions trapped in the air.

[Mintaka]

His head throbbed slightly and he flicked his tail a moment, more aware for the moment with the emotions of the air. He paled slightly and shook off the feelings within threatenign to rise, quashing them for the moment. At least until he could sort it out.

"Perhaps... she will learn." It was a wry smile to touch his lips. "Even if I have to feel the effects a bit, we can only hope. Or at least ... get smarter about things."

He shurged slightly, laughing a bit. He knew he was already going to pay so why not go all out? "Thank you again, Miss Draconayzia."

[Draconayzia]

"It's ok. I understand about being a paqwn myself, much as I hate to admit it. And please, unless you really screw up on your own, it's Drac." She offere d a warm smile and propped him into bed.

"Hmm, do you wnat pajamas to sleep? I can get them for you and leave more of the remedy here for you when you wake up."

[Mintaka]

He thought a moment on that and nodded. "Might be better. Unfortunately most of my wardrobe was left elsewhere and lost... and I've never bothered to replace most."

He leaned back slightly, trying to detense a few muscles and focusing to make his tail go away before his head did explode. "It's going to be a long while before I'm over it, no matter whose fault..."

Even without Khiviance's help it had reopened old wounds long buried about his own past, demons that once mroe haunted him without any restraints. He'd been lucky his brush with Sandrien hadn't done much damage... but this was worse.

[Draconayzia]

"That's ok. Stay still." She took out a set of the training clothes beryl kept on hand for her wards and gently put Jonathan in the new set before rolling him on his side adn starting to work on his back.

"I understand. better than you think. There are things I've done whie feral that I am far from proud of. If you need to talk, just ask me. I live about 5 miles east if you follow the coast."

[Mintaka]

He nodded slightly. "Alright, might take you up on it if I can get things sorted out in my head. Like a bog right now." He exhaled in a semi-sigh as he felt several muscles finally give.

"Hopefully I can feign soemthing more akin to sleep then I have lately."

[Draconayzia]

"I can help with that, though you might be out for a good day or two because of it. I'll help get your muscles loose first though." It would be simple enough to make him sleep. It would also give her time to tell Beryl what had happened once she found the goddess.

[Mintaka]

He nodded. Sleep that long meant he'd end up wandering other places while resting, but it was better then being awake. "Works for me... I'm used to sleeping at long stretches actually, though I doubt it's simply because of my dragon heritage." She snerked slightly, with a smile. "Just somewhat natural I think after years of fighting."

Requient peered ove rthe ledge slighly, caught by hearing the word sleep. She tilted her head slightly, watching.

[Draconayzia]

"I know what you mean. Sleep well." With that her hand moved to a nerve on his shoulder and pinched. Not the one used by humans to knock eachother out, but a point she'd learned that all dragons, purebreed or not, had that sent them to sleep almost instantly.

[Mintaka]

He slightly nodded before he slipped quietly into sleep, a restful sleep for the moment, untroubled by the problems past and coming.

In the quietness Khiviance was thankful for it, if only since it gae her time to group and rethink. Definitely thinking... certainly she was not the only one here...

[Draconayzia]

Drac kept silently working on his back until she wa convinced all the muscles were properly relaxed again. Standing she pulled the covers over him and moved to the door. Befoer exiting she looked back, a small sad smile on her face. "Good luck, na." She closed the door with a soft click and left.
