Even thought it hurt his head, he opened his eyes more in admiration. "Your Personal Guard? My sister will be truly honoured by such an escort. Again, thank you my liege." Kel closes his eyes unable to stem the flow of pain going to his head and gives a nod of thanks as best he could in his position at the same time. The nod was the closest he could get to a bow in his condition, but at least with him testing his limits like this, he could tell he was healing. Slowly, but healing. A bit too slowly for his taste maybe, but healing nonetheless.
Behind his closed lids, Kel lets his imagination paint him a pretty picture. Head of the Royal Guard. My, what a woman she must be for that kind of ambition. The strength. The skill. The training... the stamina. The thoughts relax his face and eases a slight smile to curve his lips. His mind were not all one sided though, he was indeed thankful for someone so highly trained to be going after Aluure. He also pondered how he was to finish his and Aluure's original mission with him on his back.

Seere waves a hand dismissively. "It is nother Kel. Luuva enjoys going out and stretching Kahar's legs. She really is an accomplished horse women" he smiles. It had maddened his father beyond belief that Seere had learned his riding skills from a combination of Diandriel and Luuva, instead of some of the seasoned war vetrans. "I must say I believe she rides her stallion just as well as my Sister rides Moonglow"
Luuva's keen eyes finally spot the small form of Aluure and the larger form of Arigoth, as well as the menacing shape of his tiger. Kahar snorts and dances on the tips of his hoofs as the sent of the tiger reaches his sensitive nostrils.
She trots him up to the group, keeping a wary and slightly hostile eye on Arigoth. "Aluure, your brother wishes your return!" her gaze doesn't leave Arigoth, who was by now holding the bowl of cooled liquir naar/

Arigoth held the bowl heating it within' his hand, after a few moments the liquid started to steam. Arigoth proceeded ,as he was instructed, to inhale the steam from the liquids breathing in the fumes deeply. Arigoth looked over to Luuva, "Good afterevening." He said not smiling but not casting an angry look either. He continued to breath in the fumes from the bowl, after a few moments of this he started into a fit of coughing for a while but subsided for a moment and continued to breath not moving hardly at all. Ryku stood there by Arigoth's side as Arigoth was sitting on the ground inhaleing the medicine watching both Luuva and Aluure glancing from one to the other. "I suppose you should go Aluure, thank you for your help, should anything else happen to me as a side effect of this medicine?" He asked looking up from the bowl to Aluure. He was indeed sitting on the ground his hands holding the bowl close to his face, keeping heated.

((-pist- is night time... >_> ... <_<))
At the sound of her name, she turns her head, her face falling into a pleasant welcoming face. Hearing her brother was up and well enough to be barking out requests, a bright smile spreads across her face. Giving Luuva a nod and slight bow as Kahar comes to a full stop. Turning back to Arigoth she gives a quick nod, " You are welcome, if you require my help again, you know of where to ask for it. If you have a fever now, there might be some irritation of the skin. namaarie Arigoth." Turning back to Luuva she takes a step towards her and Kahar, but seeing the war horse trotting in place a sliver of anxiety tightens her throat. She had never been by a horse like this. She had seen horses before. Some of the nobles who employ her father and brother sometimes came on horseback. She had snuck in affectionate strokes down their sleek necks while the nobles talked to her family. But they rarely had the power of a war horse like Kahar. Looking up to Luuva sitting on Kahar's back, Aluure wonders what it feels like to be so high.

Haseo had to think long and hard to find the words to ask Lady Diandriel without insulting her.The silence was interrupted by many 'umm's' and 'uh's', but eventually he found the right words to say
"I ... was wondering, um... If I could ...possibly help you on your journey?"
he quickly followed that by saying
"I know that you probably wont take me with you, but...I just think that i could learn alot from you." he looked at the floor "I'm not useless, I could be a scout, I mean I can make myself practicly invisible. and I'm sure chibi can fly when he gets older."
His face was bright red, he had never been in such a presence, and it was making him act abnormally pathetic.

((just so you know Arigogth, it is currently the dead of night 3nodding ))
Luuva continues to eye Arigoth warily. He still was not in her good books, since she still had not heard him speak a single respectful work to her Lord and Lady.
She smoothly dismounts, offering Aluure a kindly smile. She watches the childs eyes as Aluure watches Kahar dance. At least, Luuva always called it dancing, but she knew it was just the fact that Kahar was a high spirited horse and always jumped around nervously.
Kahar had been a gift from her older brother, Turin, when Luuva had first been accepted in the gaurd, and she had been riding him for a long time. She was used to the way her moved and found herself effortsly swaying with him.
She crouches down and looks Aluure in the eye. "Come child, I will lift you up and you can ride in front of me. It is only a short way!"

Diandriel blinks, suprised but his outburst. First thought it her head was wondering how he knew they were going on a journey. Did her perhaps know something about the star. She glances out teh window, and even though the star of prophecy was hidden by the peaked roofs of the village, she could still see it in her minds eye. Finally she looks back at Haseo, her expression grave and serious. 'This is not childs journey. Where I can going many will likely not return from, myself included. We cannot afford to take anyone who will be a burden, or who cannot care for themseves. There will be considerable danger to yourself and your pet." her hard eyes settle on him "You must completely sure you can meet these conditions."
((no prob, we're at school anyway and shouldn't even be posting xd ))

((uh... D.... Proof read your stuff hun. I mean come on, it's only filter fabric ... I mean geotextile material. xD))
Her eyes follow Luuva's movements as she dismounts. Wow, she moves like Kel... but prettier. Aluure's head tilts up and down as she looks at Luuva's face. At the prospect of being able to ride atop the magnificent steed, her eyes widen and spread across her face like the beaming smile. "A ride? truly milady?"

Cracking open an eye once more to watch the prince as he speaks, Kel closes it again as speaking in return. "Ah, I see. Well I'm glad at least she'll garner some pleasure from this situation." Shifting slightly to ease the pressure of his weight on his wound, he frowns as he does so. His frown however turns into a grimace when another attack of spasms run down his back, making it bow with the pain. ugh... definitely getting sick of this...

Seere's eyes crinkle in concern and he glances over his shoulder "Dia, may we give him some naike for the pain yet?" Seere did not know much at all about healing, but if his mother had taught him anything it was about basic pain medication. Still, the final say was up to his sister, since Diandriel was the expert
Diandriel glances over her shoulder, a slight but not serious scowl on her fair face from Seere calling her by her common nickname in public. He winces a little and gives her an apologitic smile.
She briefly excuses herself from her discussion with Haseo and walks over to Seere and Kel, gracefully sinking down to balance on her heels so she would study Kel.
"Lay still" she instructs as her gentle but strong hands probe along his sides, feeling gently his back and the wound before moving to stare squarely into his eyes. After a moment she rises again, digging into one of the smaller leather bags hanging from her belt. She hands Seere some crisp brown leaves. naike was one of the few plants she kept with her all the time, instead of just a sample to grow. It was infinatly useful in numbing the pain from wounds as well as pains in the muscle.
Seere smiles and Diandriel then excuses herself from the the two and returns to Haseo.
"I am sorry," she apologises for having to inturrept their discussion.
Seere smiles and thanks his elder sister before turing back to Kel. "if you chew this, it should numb some of the pain in your back and at least make laying down easier, until you are able to get up and more upstairs!" he holds out the root for Kel, smiling. "And yes, Luuva would have been more then happy to get of here for a stretch of both her and Kahar's legs.
A wide grin spreads across Luuva's face and she nods "Yes, yes, but you must promise to stay as still as you can. Kahar is no pleasure horse and is not used to more then one rider" she lifts Aluure in her strong slender arms and placing her high on Kahar's withers, smoothly mounting his bare back behind her. "Now grip tight to his main" Luuva doesn't bother reaching for the reigns, instead she sits back with her hands on her knees, controlled Kahar with the sole use of her legs as she urges him into a slow walk back down the street

Kel winces ever so slightly as the Princess probes his sides and back while trying to stay still. The twitch at his eye and tightening of his mouth the only real signs of his discomfort. When the naike is offered, Kel lifts his hand and realizes he had been clenching his fists the entire time. Unfurling his hand to grasp the root, he looks at the Prince and the back of the Princess. "Once again, my Lord and lady, I thank you." Putting the root in his mouth, he makes a slight face at the taste, but he chews nonetheless. Hoping the effects were quick he closes his eyes and tries to relax as best he could. Thoughts of helping Prince Seere's personal guard spread her legs brightens his mood. In the back of his mind a little voice wonders why with only a brief look and passing meeting, she was able to affect him so.
Meanwhile outside, Aluure was looking ecstatically above the head of Kahar. The wind whipping her face Aluure giggles delightedly as she holds onto Kahar's thick mane. With the buildings moving faster than she's ever seen them go, Aluure hardly notices her hands were tightly clasped. The excitement of being actually on a horse instead of stealing touches, makes her eyes bright and happy.

((Because I know this is what you want...and by teh way *looks to your desk* where did you go? O.o))
It doesn't take long for Luuva and Aluure to reach the spirit den. Even though Kahar took a number of nervous, dancing steps, overall Luuva was happy with how he behaved. When they reached the stable and dismounts, helping Aluure down after her, before reaching into her pouch at her belt and pulling out a peice of carrot for Kahar. She offers it to Aluure 'Would you like to feed him?" she asks, as she begins to remove his bridle. The large warhose spits out the bit with a look of relief on his long nosed face.

((a bit of timewarping shall occur ... (ahem)))
Having been watching the altercation, Kan's eyes darken and narrow at the knowledge that this male had disrespected someone. She assumed the "Lord and Lady" were the Princess Diandriel and Prince Seere. Who else from the Wood would the elf child be loyal to and that fiercely? In which case her eyes narrow further. When Luuva rides in, Merkanin's eyes widen in surprise. That rider looks familiar... Lifting her nose into the air once more she smells the Wood, horse flesh and oil on steel. Seeing the child's bright smile in the moonlight, it charms Kan. It had been so long since she had seen a smile so innocent. When the two females ride away Kan emerges from her hiding place but stays in the shadows away from Arigoth. She moves along at a stead pace, cautiously keeping an eye on Arigoth, having felt and could still feel pulses of power coming from him. Her hand tightens on the hilt of her blade to add a bit of comfort. Trust is something she does not give easily, and it's even harder when she hears words that discredit someone she knows to be trustworthy.
((poor Arigoth... -pat's his head with a 10 foot pole-))
Gazing up at Kahar with a sweet smile it brightens all over again when Luuva offers the carrot. With a gasp she does a little hop in place clasping her hands together as she glees. Nodding she takes the carrot and moves closer to Kahar's head and reaches out carrot first.

"make sure to hold your palm flat so he doesn't bite your fingers" Luuva instructs as she carefully wraps up the leather bridle.
Kahar snorts and tosses his head at the sight of a strange hand approaching him, but he visibly calms when he smells the sweet carrot the hand holds. Stretching his long gleaming neck he gentle lips the carrot slive off Aluure's palm, his soft lips brushing her hand as he does so. Once he has his prize he pulls back, holing his massive head up proudly as he munches on the carrot, his liquid brown eyes seeming to look down on Aluure.
Luuve emerges from the stable having just put the bridle away and smiles to see Aluure's glee. Kahar could sometimes be a brute, but he knew when to mind his manners. She whistels through her teeth to get the proud horses attention. Kahar's head snaps towards his mistress and he whickers, trotting over to nuzzle Luuva's shoulder. She playfully shoves him.
"Common now you brute, go get in your stall" she says in a playfun tone. Kahar whinnies and shows her his teeth before prancing into the stable and his empty stall. Luuva follows and latches the door, shaking her head. Around most people Kahar acted proud and all powerful, but around her he would be as playful as a newborn colt at times. She brushes the horse dirt off her hands and looks down at Aluure.
"Well now, shall we get you inside to see your brother?"
