Welcome to Gaia! ::

Likewise, Leaf slipped the ring onto her finger and followed Fin. The glitter on the ring caught her eye a moment, and slowed her steps. It flickered uner the cool metal like fire, transing her like a moth to a candle flame. She shook her head, and peeked around Fin's shoulder. "What? What is it?"

"Openly, but granted no one's ever asked." She smiled, placed her chin on a fist. "Except perhaps the kobold." She sighed. "After all, no one really wants to hear of the possibility of caring for a drow. It scares them."

Aella laughed. "of course they are." She gave the boy a pouty look. "Do you tihnk I'm ickky?"

"Maybe she does need a Lavi. A...smaller Lavi. A Deidrich sized Lavi at most." Maybe she could get the boy to put frogs in her bed or something, soemtimes tht was pretty funny. Once, they had found Tarathiel had stuck a ferret in a hat box and jid it in Celeste's closet. Why? No one bothered to ask, they were laughing too hard. (Except for Celeste..)

"Watching things doesn't make you a hunter, killing things does. You don't have to be a hunter to be good at those things."

The dragon stomped her feet. "Of course i bite! Did you not see those bandages?" She huffed. "Don't you make me loose a scale, I'll tear off your fingernails for that." because that's what it felt like when her scales got ripped out.

The dragon sighed. "There, the tak cuboard in the corner. There is a nice big file to sharpen my claws. I could do it myself," she clicked her claws together "but that would require destroying something."

She nearly sneared, then remebered she'd scared out every other female groomer. "Indeed...there is a wire bristled brush in that cubboard if you care to use it."

((EDIT))

"You're not a girl, your Aella." Tarathiel clairfied. "IF you were a girl, Orko-sans would be allowed to remake your mind into liking him so he can play fun games with you." Somewhat negligant of the fact Orko was joking when he said that.

"Orko-sans said that too." Tarathiel giggled, "He said that all the none-mages have to pay attention to their surroundings because they are not mages and are grossly ill-prepaired because they do not have spells to cast to solve every problem. Orko-sans said that a ranger ((same thing as hunter as far as Tarathiel could tell)) can only get food where their is food already availible, but a mage could simply create the food from nothingness instead. He also said that the food would be cooked, cleaned, and even served on dishes with a table if the wizard really feels like it. But, I don't really like magic that much. Orko-sans is a funny person when he's teaching me, but he does always seem to be depressed, because living seems to troublesome for him to bother with. He'd rather watch his neighbour play wrestling in the bedroom on his crystal ball than go for a walk down the corridor to get some bread from the pantry." Tarathiel has spent a great deal of time with the wizard, simply because the wizard has the most time to spend with the boy and teach him his lessons. The benefit of being a well trained spellcaster, is you rarely have to do any work yourself. Orko would use an illusion to teach the boy, if Celeste would let him.

"I think that I would be more happy to be a hunter than a mage, because hunters seem to be more happy than mages." Logical, oddly enough. Onyx may have a bad dispossition towards most of the world, but he seemed rather happy. "But hunting is a barbaric act, as is eating living creatures and plants. I would have to agree with Lavi on this, and maybe I should become a Bronze Dragon instead of a hunter or a mage, because I would be able to be happy like the hunter, and create food like the mage, and I would be able to play all day every day because no seems to give Bronze Dragons any work."

"But, I do have alot of fun playing with Talon too..." Not a topic he bring up often, especially since not many adults wish to see Tarathiel playing with a pirate. "Fencing is a lot of fun. Though... I'm not allowed to use two weapons." Bad experiance.

"I have no idea what it is, kinda like a cross between a man, a scorpion and a volcano." He guess, before ducking beneth a glaive attack which imbedided itself into the wall where about Fin's neck had been a moment before. "Salamander maybe?" He rolled under an outstreched arm and glaive to rise next to the creature, if not for the ring, his skin surely would have melted clean off his bones. A swing with the sword seemed ok, but it only grazed the creature who seemed to move with the sensitivities of a snake.

"They love me because they do not have any choice but to love me. Especially since I did something so wonderful as ressurect their dead prince. He was certainly weighing down my soul." Pun, doublespeak, and every kind of riddle that was. "If I were born a high elf, or any other variety, we could be the best of friends, myself and those kin. Alas, I was born Drow, and very good close to Chaos itself. Fie, my energetic youth and my enthusiastic adventering, and my bewildering plots which entrall and ensare the unweary or weary equally. I always did love how people did what I wanted them to do most of the time... So far, I think only one of my plots went array, but that was because I forgot about it in the excitment of finding a rare and valuable treasure." He may have lied.

"Perhaps..." But she wasn't too sure. It was fairly obvious that something was bothering him though he made it nearly impossible to pinpoint just what it was. ANd if he was going to remain close-mouthed about it all then there was nothing more that she could do. Giving him comfort didn't have to end though and she still swept her fingers through his hair before pressing a kiss to his cheek and snuggling down so her head rested against his shoulder. "Well then, let's get your mind off of that and on something far more enjoyable. So let's see. What can we talk about?" She thought about it for a moment, mentally choosing and then discarding topics as not one of them seemed like a perfect fit. "Isle slept with Arthur..." Her fingers had idly moved down and begun playing with his hand draping it over his lap and touching each individual finger. Where had that come from? Perhaps her need to bolster her own self-importance and know that she hadn't been replaced. There was no one quite like her, at least that's what she kept telling herself.

She merely kept her eyes closed and let him do what he wanted for now. Hey this was a good deal and it was nice to have someone work your body out after you'd gotten the crap kicked out of you more or less. And hey, her hair was almost white, it had to be kept clean. When he was done rinsing her hair, she raised a hand, pushing her fingers through her hair to mix lavender and silvery white. "Thanks." Giving a content sigh and raising one leg out of the water to wiggle blue tipped toes before putting it back and then looking at her hand and wiggling blue tipped fingers. "Well, the feeling is coming back."

The situation dissolved into and interesting one at best...after all, it seemed they were...well...cuddling. Though of course if asked it would probably be called serenely enjoying each other's prescense. And he didn't mind. It was nice when things were calm inside, and she made that happen. Besides...he was starved for adult attention right now and he would take it.

Though a blink at the topic she picked. Sevilin thought for a moment, then snickered. "He can't keep to himself, can he?" But what an interesting thing to bring up. A look to her then. "Happy that you're not his only means of such activites?" He had been privy to a rant or two about somethign or other when it came to Arthur. His eyes however moved down to watch what she was doing with his hand, tracing his fingers. Don't curl fingers in paranoia Sevilin, she's not going to break them.

When he was done the elf just put his hands at the sides of the tub and leaned down just a little bit, watching her from above a little bit with a grin. "No problem I'm glad I was able to help." He said with a chuckle and watched as she checked her fingers and toes which got another laugh from him. "Yeah I say that's pretty good, don't need to have those little blue guys staying all numb." He said then closed his eyes and took a little deep breath. "Hmmmm...you smell nice." he said with a light grin before looking down at her again, she looked cute when sitting naked in the tub, well to him anyway.

Fin waited for the creature to pick a side, and it did by focusing a volley of attacks upon Leaf. This left its flank open to the other elf, who took advantage of that moment to drive the sword home. The creature fell over, and rapidly turned to ash. "I guess this way." Fin said as he walked that direction, knowing that Leaf should be fine.


"You fall into every category, or just one, or maybe your own. Then again, I may just be pulling your leg all together." He smirked like the devil he was.

"You had special insight into the situation." Kimmuriel purred. "I could say, you cheated. But then again, such lovely powers should not go to waste on things less trival than my plots. How exciting, eh? Or maybe, I am just arrogant."


"Orko-sans says 'What is power but to be used by the powerful.' I guess someone as powerful as him can be put into place by someone else... Aella, are you more powerful than Orko?" Tarathiel smiled, he actually knew the answer to that. He was well educated, after all.

She nodded and allowed her head to rest more fully on his chest, the top of it barely brushing his chin. She lifted his hand and measured their fingers then entwined them slowly, making sure each one fell into it's right place. "I suppose I could extend my visit for a while, maybe even make it permanant. Being an exalted sex goddess is rough." She almost laughed at how silly that sounded but she held it in and continued in a rather solemn voice. "You always have to look good no matter what. Can't ever have any pants days and I like my pants days. Besides, no one ever sees beneath it to you. The glittering exterior stops them dead and they never think to look farther. That's what I like about you. You don't entertain me for my looks."

Arthur's blinked when he felt Isle kiss his nose and he had to chuckle just a little bit, little affections like that he didn't mind at all they were kind of cute as well. "Of course I am, to be around a beautiful elf such as yourself I have to try my hardest you know...." He let his voice trail off as he traced with his index finger from the top of her forehead down to her cheek then to her chin before pulling away. "I don't mind if they go unnoticed it's not a big deal, I got other ways to give you complements." He grinned at that but titled his head at her next comment, it was kind of odd for her to say that but he didn't care really. "No your not, I rather be here right now than not doing anything at all, I like spending my time with you." the elf then leaned down and kissed her gently on the forehead before pulling away with famous grin of his as he watched those eyes of hers, this was turning out to be fun.
