Now that was intriguing, wasn't it? She smudged the rune so that it no longer glowed and the mist disappeared then she situated herself a bit farther down the table so the circles wouldn't run together. Carefully she closed her eyes and imagined that those threads formed into a pen of sorts in her finger and fed directly to it then she drew her runic circle, concentrating before lifting back. Without breaking her concentration she quickly traced the ghostly rune and only when that mist started to rise from the glowing purple circle did she allow herself to grin. She had runed with her own power and it had actually worked. It was an exhilirating feeling to say the least and she didn't care if Sevilin decided to yell at her or not. She twitched her fingers, took a deep breath and once again reached through the table then grinned responding to what he'd said. "Oh really?" she asked pulling her hand out. A glance down at her stomach then back up at him. "I'd kind of like to see you do that." And a step towards him.

He watched her, an eyebrow spiking as she took the liberty to draw another circle. Why? She had sealed her other so she could smudge and not mess the circle...though the answer was given to him the moment she started to do it trying with her own energies. Foolish of her...and she would probably start feeling the effects. Her body wasn't conditioned for that...oh the whining he was sure he would have to endure when she started hurting or going numb.
But for now he put that out of his mind as he continued to be the observant teacher. Well wasn't she the ambitious little student. Of course she got another eyebrow raised look as she put forth a challange to him. "Really..." Well...he couldn't say no to that now could he? Getting up he walked over to her, summoning that runic cirlcle under himself, it moving with him, and walked over to her.
For a moment he held her eyes before his eyes dropped to look at her smooth flat stomach. Uh oh...He had to use that example now didn't he? Now he had to touch her...and he didn't know how he felt about that. He swallowed and lifted his hand, curling fingers under and leaving his index pointed. For a moment he let his finger hover in front of her skin, before he mentally kicked himself. It was just a rune...just do it. Don't think about the runing surface. Thus he touched his finger to her skin and rather delicately traced out the rune, the shape lighting up and creating a warm sensation on her skin as he did so.
Then a moment later that mist was there, and he took hold of her at her waist with his free hand...and plunged his other hand, up to his elbow, through her middle where that runic born mist was...of course in freakish display, his hand was visible on the other side of her...in fact he tapped her on the shoulder for proof.

She could feel strange little tingles in her fingers and she curled them into a fist then splayed them back out and did it again and again. Somehow she didn't think it was supposed to feel like this but her attention was snatched by him walking toward her purposefully. She stared up at him, licking her lips nervously and taking a deep breath. He'd been this close to her before but she wasn't going to think about that. Closing her eyes for a moment she felt his finger brush lightly over her skin and with her eyes closed she recognized the pattern of the rune he was drawing. It felt as though a blanket had covered her stomach, the warmth ran through her and then he was reaching for her and holding her. Her eyes popped opne and panic splashed into her like ice water at the strange feeling but she shoved it aside and forced herself to hold still. She'd brought this on herself though she was beginning to think it hadn't been such a good idea. Glancing down she watched as he plunged his hand through her....that was a truly odd sight and then jerked at the tap on her shoulder. Shuddering once, her body rippled around his hand and she took hold of his wrist and yanked it out, still breathing kind of heavy. "That was...interesting..." Okay, now she was freaked.

After taking his cold bath for about twenty minutes Arthur slowly brought himself out of the tub and started to dry himself off. I gotta keep my feelings in check... he sighed and shook his head hard to get rid of all the water before he went on to dry it with a towel.
A few mintues later he came out of the washroom with his towel wrapped around his waist, slowly he made his way to the bed and sat down on it with small sigh. God what a moring... he cursed at himself lightly before he started to put on his cloths again. I should get another pair of cloths... he thought with a smirk as he slipped on his top.
After awhile Arthur slipped out of his room and began walking paying attetion to stay away from the dining hall. I need to train...I think I know a good spot...

Sevilin...chuckled lightly, in rather pleasant manner really. A look down at where she still had hold of his wrist. "Well, you said you'd like to see it...and you did." Though then he was aware that he still had hold of her at her waist, his hand holding onto warm soft flesh...and it spiked again, that slight fear...though not as intense. After all...she hadn't slapped him yet or broken his fingers either. Damn it...he was having that experiment urge again. No, bad Sevilin.
Then a more serious look. "If you start to loose feeling in your body...or for that matter start getting pains...don't worry about it...it will pass. It's the price you pay. For using runes and for your body not being used to using what it uses itself, in a manner that it drains."

"Y-yes I did..." She should have known better on all accounts really. Playing with magic when you weren't trained or ready for it got you hurt. It didn't surprise her that she might be feeling numb or getting twinges of pain, that was already happening in fact with her fingers tingling and getting harder to actually move and feel. And that happened after one little rune. That deflated her enthusiasm a bit but she let go of his wrist and then stood extremely still not wanting to think about his hands slipping any lower. They were perilously close as it was and her whole body was ramrod stiff as it was. "How long does it.....usually last..." Her throat felt so dry. "The numbness..."

"A few hours..." A little shrug. "All depends on the rune, it's type, it's difficulty, a number of factors. That rune was a bit more advanced than you're used to." Honestly he didn't expect her to do it...let alone playing with her new energies toy. But he only shook his head about it all. He shrugged lightly. "It happens...can only be stopped by the proper way of fifty years of conditioning...or developing a tolerance. Neither of which are easy."
Being informative was nice. Though another look down as she released his wrist. Then he was horribly away of himself, and noted her own body as well...his eyes slid to where his hand was still on her, and he snatched it back. Right, not a good thing. But intriguing it was that she had gained that almost scared stiff posture. "Try to refrain from doing that again. Dont' want to bleed from your face, do you?" Then a little nod of his head. "Need to sit down?" Damn it...he offered to help. He wasn't supposed to do that.

He released her before uncomfortable things began to happen and she was grateful that he had. Memories could be such a b***h sometimes. Slowly she nodded and moved back to her chair, lowering herself into it and holding her wrist with the fingers of her other hand closed around it. Numbeness was not a fun feeling at all. She grimaced, "No I'd rather keep my blood inside where it belongs..." Bleeding from her face? No thank you. "Now I know why there are so few runemages around..." Who wanted to spend fifty years to keep your body from going numb on you every time you runed just one little thing. IT was trather annoying to know that he could stand there with his eyes closed, lift his fingers and bam! the rune could actually be scribed in the air. She'd seen him do it before.

He watched her a moment before walking back to his own end of the table and taking a seat. "Well now you know why I don't recommend or really let you do it unless you're using something other than yourself." A little shrug and then he rolled his shoulders back before tilting his head and cracking his neck. That felt good. "It's a demanding and dedicated class..."

Arthur smiled as he walked, he was now outside of the fortress and began walking back in the direction of where he docked his boat, it was on a lonely beach and no one form the fortress knows where it is so he could train alone which is what he wanted.
Slowly he began his walk through the forest, his hand holding the sheath of his blade just incase there were anyone else out there that might find him good to eat. All I gotta do is make it to the beach and I can train as much as I want... he had a small grin on his face as he stepped over a fallen log.

Malik gave a grin, and got up off her. he knew that flinch, but also knew the source, so he didn't mention it. it was her natural nervous nature around other surface bred elves. though a twinge of his ear, and a glance toward the coast. That got a bigger grin. boy was Arthur going to have an interesting morning.
So he picked up the dirty clothes they had, and well, slung his over hsi shoulder. that was malik, he wasn't going to wear something dirty..so he just started heading back to the fortress naked. hell he owned it, he coudl come and go as he wanted, and that included the manner in which he did so.
"Then lets head inside then."
Red glowing orbs watched. the orcish skeleton, put there a long time ago by Malik ment as a deterent for any possible landing force of Dimitri's. working on human supperstition. it's vioce was steel over concrete, and it was armed, though wearing no armor or clothing.
"The way is shut. It was made by those who are dead, and the dead, keep it."

A raise of an eyebrow at him as he slung clothes over his shoulder and started off. Sliding off the rocks she grabbed thier boots and caught up to him, snatching his shirt from him and pulling it on herself. Hey hey may enforce the right to be king of his castle and trapse it as he wished to, but she wasn't going to walk around like that. But a laugh and a roll of her eyes, following him...not that she didn't appreciate the view. "Yes, very much the king of your castle..." He did amuse her so sometimes. Though her hand came up to puff her hair out some so it covered her right ear, just in case.

Arthur was humming a little tune to himself when he heard a voice, a scracthy cold voice that sent a shiver down his spine. Slowly he turned around to see with his one eye two glowing red orbs staring right at him. quickly he grasped his handle and got ready to defend himself from wahtever was watching him. As he watched it he noticed that it was some orcish skeleton, but it looked really old and it seem to have something in it's hand. "Whoa whoa whoa, I'm just heading to my ship I'm not a spy or anything." Hey first step, reason your way out of it right? if that doesn't work go to step two.

The orcish skeleton stepped forward, brandishing a very shiny doublebladed axe.
"the way is shut. it was made by those who are dead, and the dead keep it."
It walked forward without any concern for arthur's weapon. after all, what did the dead care about a weapon ment to kill? It's eyes, or what passed for eyes, only stared at him. they never wavered, adn there was no emotion in it. it was here to do whatever specific task it was summoned for, no more, no less. and it would do it. over his dead body if need be.
Malik only smirked at her putting on his shirt. well, modest as she might be. he was, indeed king of his castle. really his only concern woudl be a run in with Fianna. but she probably wouldn't mind too much. maybe even get a tad of jealousy from what her daughter had. that gave him a slight chuckle. almost funny in a way. in fact, the idea was starting to form to seek out where she was. Nah. piper woudl kill him for that if it wasn't an accident.

"What amusement is sparking in that head of yours?" Feeling it tingle across thier bond, almost infectious in the delightful feeling of it really. But inside they went and personally she was hoping to avoid an embarassing moment that didn't need to be had. That included all elves...slaves could deal...not like any of them hand't happened upon thier bedroom at a bad time before. That thought made her giggle. "So, what do I have to do to earn a long camping trip, hm?"
