"Home. I sort of miss my home." A sigh, once again, escaped her lips. "But it comes with the age I guess."
She fell silent.

"Home is where your heart is, they say," he says as he once again opens his eyes to her. "My home sank to the bottom of the ocean, so I had to make a new one... well, found is more appropriate..."

"I'm just worried that the next place I call home, will be destroyed too... It's an unneeded fear, but," she poked at the back of her head, "it's all back there you know? I can't really help it."
Asherah scoffed at herself and shook her head.
"Sorry, I ramble when I'm nervous...." She paused once more. "You didn't hear that."

He snickers a bit as he watches her. "Oh, I'm quite sure I did hear that," he says as he reaches up and gently caresses her cheek, then moves a hair from her features. "We all fear of what could become of our home, but we still seek one anyways."

A minute later, the small group had reached the top of the hill and the stout, yet elegant wood-and-stone structure that crowned it. Reaching forward, Relt pushed open a large pair of doors, revealing a fairly large antechamber beyond.
The floor was paved with well-worn flagstones fitted tightly together, like pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle. Chairs (Draconian-sized, and built to accommodate tails and wings) were scattered around the edges of the room. The walls were made of tree logs, and were covered with tapestries depicting historical events or sets of swirling, beautiful, and complex symbols. On the opposite wall, there was another set of doors, smaller than the ones they had just entered through, with a heavily-armed Draconian standing guard on either side. Said guards straightened up as they entered, becoming noticably wary as they caught sight of the 'guests'.
"Everyone have a seat. I will go speak with the Wise Ones. I shall return shortly," said Relt. He walked over to one of the guards, and had a quiet word with him. The guard nodded, and Relt pushed open one of the doors, just wide enough to let himself through, walked inside, and shut it behind him. Meanwhile, the other three Draconians took seats, waiting for the Blue Scale to return.

Asherah sighed heavily and let her posture sink a little.
"I guess you're right. I have yet to find another stable home. Somewhere, I can stay for a while. Heh. Whatever I suppose. It doesn't really matter."

"I would suggest that you stay at my home seeing as how I have tons of guest rooms and no one to stay in them," he says as he looks at her before glancing out toward where the nearest beach is, "but I think it'd be a little tough to get you there without getting to the Stadium..."

"I-I couldn't impose. I eat a lot, and talk a lot. And like to do clumsy things like talk--- I mean trip..." She fell silent once more. But this time out of embarrassment. "I... Bleh. Screw it..."
Asherah started to gnaw on her lower lip, then stopped. Then started to wiggle her nose. She was trying not to say something stupid.

"It wouldn't be any problem at all. I'm rarely home as it is. I've got a large kitchen, a library in case of boredom and a beach. Once in a while either myself or my son will stop home, but his arrival is even more of a rarity then my own."

Her eyes traveled to his as he said "son" she slouched again. It reminded her of her--
"How would I pay you back? I mean... I just couldn't. I mean... I would.." She sighed out deeply and swallowed her words heavily. "I... Would really like that."

He shakes his head slightly and smiles softly. "It's no trouble at all, but I still wouldn't know how you would get there. There is a way to there from the Leviathan Stadium, but I don't even know how you got on this island."

"I got here because of you technically... Right? Seeing as you're the waters. I sent off a boat, and drifted until I hit land." Asherah smiled. "Plus, I can keep up with you by transformations." She stopped to tuck her hair behind her ear. "I can just mimic you until I grow tired."

He cocks an eyebrow and smirks slightly at this. "And how do you hope to do that?"

With a giggle, Asherah sat Enki up and then stood up and stood back a bit. With a huff, she brought her hands to her sides. She didn't move a muscle as she began to chant softly. it sounded like gibberish, but, that gibberish was her lost language.
Slowly, feature by feature she began to change. Slowly, her hair grew, her skeletal structure shifted and stretched. Her clothes were replaced with a duplicate of his. Her eyes changed, nose, mouth, ears, hands, everything with sounds of cracking bones transformed.... But. Just as it started, it stopped.
Asherah shook and wiggled her new body and chuckled.
She was now him.
"Better?" She questioned in his voice.

He laughs slightly again, looking her up and down a bit. "Well now I don't know if I'm more attracted to you or less attracted to you, but I still do see how that's going to help you. I think it would just confuse sailors..."
