Noticing the interaction of the newest customer and Kira, Mynoris smirks slightly. Leaning forward she says in a low voice to Baldur, "I sort of pity the lad. A headstrong and willful woman like that often makes a terrible wife." She taps her chest. "If my husband were still alive, I'm sure he'd agree with me."

"You haven't...?" she began, shocked. "But what if he's awful or the size of a sand shrimp and has no idea how to use his tongue to compensate?" she started in, but Kira dragged her over to meet the poor boy. Svana didn't have much of a filter, so she didn't bother keeping her voice low. These were all adequate objections that he might have to answer for eventually.
"Weren't you going to introduce me?" she asked before Kira could fly off the handle at the mentioning of her bad day and Claudette.
She was instantly distracted by the black haired man who had come through the door, realizing he was introducing himself and bowing. She beckoned him over. "Come join us, Jelryn. I'm Svana, and this is Kira and Blair. They're engaged and he's a Prescott." Even though she had no idea what a Prescott was or why it was significant, Kira seemed proud of the fact and would probably appreciate the addendum to her introduction.

"He's going to die way before I do," Kira said lightly. "I still have options. He does not. If I dislike the sex, I can look elsewhere. Blair would never, ever leave me." She was staring at Blair the entire time she was speaking.
"Anyway," she said before he could interject, "Blair, this is Svana."
"Pleased to meet you," he said to Svana. "How do you do?"
Kira beamed proudly; Svana knew her so well! To Blair, she said, "Svana is my new best friend, and this is the guy she wants to sleep with!"
"Right," Blair said faintly, not sure what Kira was playing at. "Pleased to meet you," he scrambled for the name, "Jelryn. You and Svana have facinating names; where are you from?"
He was genuinely curious, and that made Kira upset.

Jerlryn hesitates, though he doesn't seem worried so much as simply calculating the pros and cons of the situation. Finally he approaches the small group, inclining his head to each member a bit stiffly. His posture is very straight and there doesn't seem to be much chance that he will relax or even slouch a little. Still, most of his focus remains on Svana.
"You are elven, yes?" he asks politely.
Kira's 'description' of him actually causes some color to come into his cheeks, though only briefly. He coughs slightly before addressing the other man.
"I doubt you would have heard of it, and even if you had, I don't care to discuss my hometown," he says a bit brusquely.

Blair furrowed his brow. Jelryn came off quite rude, and he was puzzled as to why. He had only been trying to create a conversation with new people; was that really so bad? He was trying to brush it off. Maybe he would go sit with Claudette and the man; Claudette was always kind to him and made sure he felt accepted.
"Sir?" The waiter said, getting Blair's attention, "I am so sorry. I accidentally put espresso in your hot chocolate!"
The server was clearly panicked, but Blair brushed it off. "That's quite all right. I would like some whipped cream on top if you have any, please? There's no need for an apology."
Kira rounded the waiter and snapped, "He asked for a hot chocolate! Make it again, you incompeta-"
Blair put his hand over her mouth. "Really, it's quite all right. Does the whipped cream cost extra? I can pay you for it."
Teeth sank into his hand, and he yelped. "She bit me," he muttered.
"Whip cream is no extra charge," the server said, putting a good sized helping of it on top of Blair's coffee and giving it to him.
"Thank you, sir," he said. "I believe this should cover the espresso?" He handed some money to the server.
"It was an accident, sir."
"You're running a business. Product is expensive. Take it," Blair said kindly.
He felt like a fish out of water. Kira glaring at him certainly wasn't helping.

"Some things can be learned, so that's a bonus. You might practice a few times before you're married." Svana couldn't imagine being attached to someone so intimately without knowing how they were in bed first.
Blair was adorably polite. Svana could hardly take it seriously. "I'm..." She shrugged. How was she? Grieving, but no longer injured. "I'm horny," she finally concluded.
That brought her back to Jelryn. "Yes, I'm elven," she replied curtly. "But I don't mind if you don't."
Over at the other table, Baldur also watched along with Mynoris. "Gods help the lad. And gods help anyone Svana sets her sights on. She's probably just as bad, if not worse."

"Indeed," Mynoris says to Baldur with evident amusement. "At least he's polite; hopefully he has enough wits, backbone, or both to cover for her excesses," she points out. "Oddly, she seems really fond of him, which makes her a step up from me; I was mostly neutral to mine." The ex-goddess actually sounds a bit regretful at this.

"Kira and I are strictly a business deal," Blair said, though he wasn't cold or harsh about it. "I don't believe Kira actually likes me. But she does enjoy my money."
"Yeah, and if you don't keep your big mouth shut," Kira snapped, "after the wedding, I'll have you enslaved." To Svana, she said, "He's not an Immortal. He actually has a life threatening allergy to magic. Which tends to come in handy."
Blair flinched. He knew all too well what she meant. To Svana about her current mood, he said, "I.. I'm sorry. I can't be of help with that." He didn't know what else to say. He was rather taken aback by all the sexual talk.
Instead, he sipped his mocha, still debating if he should remove himself from this and go sit with Claudette. He couldn't take his eyes off of her and the strange man. Surely they would be less awkward company.

"I have no reason to mind. I'm distantly related to the elves of my land," Jelryn says to Svana cautiously. "Though they don't quite share your coloring," he adds. "But it wouldn't matter if I had never heard of an elf before; people are born who and what they are. Blaming someone for such a thing is irrational." A harsh tone bleeds into his voice, giving the impression that someone had, in fact, blamed him for some circumstance of his birth.
He gives Blair a curious look. "An allergy to magic? I have never heard of such a thing. What are the symptoms?" His interest is clinical; it isn't born out of any concern for the man.

Ibara dropped the sword in her hand, too stunned by her actions to wipe away the hot blood that had spattered all over her face, hands, body. Dead. Her mother was dead, and by her daugthers hand. To many things were running though her head, her heart, to much noise around her.
She turned to the entrance of the underground space and ran, passing right though the door that suddenly appeared. It led her to an odd place, in which she promptly ended up tripping and falling, hard onto her shoulder as she had managed to twist in air to avoid smashing her face. The black wavy hair spwarled around her in halo-like fashion, the dress showing of much of her dark purple/blue scaled legs. The deep blue eyes darted around, confused at her surroundings.
"Dreaming," She said, "I must be dreaming..." Maybe she had passed out after...she looked down. Blood. Her mothers blood. But why? Slowly she pushed herself up, most of her weight resting on her hip as she looked around, tears starting to spill from her eyes. Slowly one hand went to her hip, but found no weapon. There were other things here, but nothing quite like her. What kind of dream was this? "Wake up," She told herself, shoulders hunching forward as she curled in on herself a bit, head falling. "Wake up, wake up!"

"Why did you marry him?" Baldur asked. It never occurred to him to marry. Then again, he didn't want to attach himself to a mortal woman and there had never been any elves to consider. Still, he didn't have much of an interest.
Svana gave a small, dramatized gasp. "I believe Kira loves you very much. She won't shut up about it." She couldn't help herself. What did it matter to her what their relationship was like or how she affected it? But she couldn't help what came next. "Well, with Kira's permission, you might be able to help. I could teach you a thing or two to keep her complacent." Her grin was nothing short of predatory.
Especially since Jelryn either had no idea that she was interested or was pretending not to realize it. "It's good to hear you're so open minded, my friend. I myself enjoy men of many different backgrounds."
Most of them were slaves and didn't have much of a choice, but that was beside the point.

Jelryn was a cold man, Blair thought. He went to answer anyway, but Kira interrupted.
"Oh, he dies if he gets any magic marks. If he gets hit with magic, he could go into a coma. And if he's around it too much, he gets sick. He also has headaches, but I don't know if that's magic related or because of me," Kira said brightly.
"Probably not magic related," Blair muttered. His eyes left Claudette and traveled to the newcomer.
"If you even say a word to her, I will hurt you," Kira said to him sharply.
Kira, however, looked at Svana, and grinned. "He's all yours. I'll consider it a wedding gift."
"W-what?" Blair asked nervously.

"I wonder if all magic affects him equally or only your kind of magic?" Jelryn says to Kira. "But if it makes him ill, I will keep my magic to myself." For now. "Is this sort of allergy common among your people?"
Glancing over to Svana, he simply nods his head. It's hard to tell if he's oblivious or simply very good at hiding his emotions. "Don't mistake me for being open minded. I'm very intolerant. Race just isn't one of the things that makes a difference to me. I'm more concerned with behavior than who someone's ancestors happen to be."
He doesn't take the bait of any of the sexual conversation.

With Kira's blessing, Svana started circling Blair, inspecting him from head to foot, teeth fastened between her teeth. "It will be a wedding gift. I'll make sure he has a thing or two he can do for you." She trailed her hands across the width of his shoulders and then traced the curve of his ear. "Anything in particular you would like him proficient at?"
"I've been killing people for ages for the deeds of their ancestors," she remarked offhandedly to Jelryn, no longer interested in him. "I derive such pleasure from the confused looks on their faces."

"Well, we didn't call it marrying back then. You see, it was just the order of things then for us to pair off. There were only so many deities, and we had a sort of built in imperative to multiply still." Mynoris scowls briefly. "We were pretty much the only ones left, and so we wound up together." She gestures towards Blair and Kira. "Just as in their case, it was a matter of business, you could say. Or politics. Take your pick."
