 [ 16 ] A most fortuitous circumstance of fate page 291Kipestshin Kip's ears twitched. She could hear footsteps comming toward the shop. "Hmmm.... wonder f they are going to want a puppy. Hopefully Thomas hasn't tried to eat them yet..." She sat and sipped her tea. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Trelweny made her way to the shop a little nervously. A blue hued kyunru prodded the human woman's hand with her nose, giving silent & mental support as she flipped her three peacock tails gently. Exasperated with their "mother" always insisting that they go out, her family had decided that it was Trel's turn. Keyna of course volunteered to go with her, Remus & Aiden to watch her two year old son. Why her steps had led her here, Trelweny could not know. She had never been to this place. Keyna nudged her again. Go on. Go in. You will not know unless you do.Squaring her shoulders, she entered the building. "Hello?" She called out tentatively, taking a glance around. Kipestshin Kip made her way to the front of the store. "Viktor, be a dear and see what that dragon is up to would you?" He bounded off to do her bidding. "Hello." She grinned at the new arivel and her blue companion, "care for a cup of tea?" Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf She blinked, then smiled at the person who greeted her. "Yes. Thank you. Tea sounds wonderful." Maybe it will calm you Keyna thought at her human bond, following her into the place. "I'm Trelweny. I was just..." She looked sheepish. "Wandering." Coiled on a seat in another room the gold skinned dragon female arched her back to stretch it. She could hear voices in the hall, but though she was mildly curious what it was about she was still quite tired from their journey & was not inclined to take the effort to move just then. She has a pretty voice... she thought idly to herself. Kipestshin Kip came back with a soft white peach tea and offered a cup to both Trel and her companion. "Wandering is good unless you are a rock or tree.... mostly." She smiled a fanged grin and sat down to enjoy her tea. "Welcome to my petstore." She bowed lightly. "Stay as long as you like. ... Might there have been something you were in search for?" Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "I'm not sure really." A slight furrow creased the woman's brow as she held her teacup between both her hands. Beside her, Keyna lapped silently at her tea, large doe-like eyes looking up at Trelweny. "I just came." Trelweny laughed nervously, her angelic sash rippling softly around her. "Do you ever do that? I've done it before. A few times. Like joining the group where I met my late husband." A cloud of sadness darkens her green eyes. "Or finding Keyna's egg." The cloud was gone, & Keyna chirped sweetly up at the human, pressing her head to Trelweny's knee. "I'm sorry. I'm rambling. Bad habit of mine." The female started to uncurl her blue & gold tail, curiosity getting the best of her. There was something about that voice. She slithered to the doorway & peeked out. Kipestshin Kip sipped her tea, listening intently "yes... i know exactly what you mean," her fingers tightened around her cup. Catching slender fingers moving from the corner of her eye, it broke the tension. "Hello, please... do join us sweetness." She stood up. "let me get you some tea...." She walked past the medusa. This was going to be fun. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf The dragon female barely contained her flinch at being noticed. "Thank you. I should like some tea." She dipped her head politely at Kipetshin, blue hair bobbing around her golden face. When she looked up she studied the human & the strange creature with her where they stood not far inside the shop's main entrance, slipping the rest of the way from the room. The woman had done her hair -most likely on her own- which the graceful dragon appreciated. It was long and of a gold color not much different than her own skin. The peacock marked creature was strange to the dragon medusa, but she had a dainty air about her. The smaller creature seems to like this human... perhaps....Trelweny had looked to see who her hostess was addressing & blinked at the golden beauty, trying not to stare. A lump came to her throat. "Hello." "Hello."Kipestshin Kip gave BB a waive hello as she came back to her front guest with more tea. Handing the cup to the dragon she spoke, "It is good to see you. How rude of me to forget introductions. This is Miss Trelweny and her charming friend Keyna...... and this lovely lady has traveled quite far to be here." She motioned to the dragon. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "Pleased to meet you." The human said with a shaky but heartfelt smile. She could not get over how the dragon female bore altered shades of the colors she & Timex had chosen for their wedding: green blue & gold. Hers blended more, where theirs had more contrast, but it was still enough to keep her throat slightly constricted. "Charmed." Surprisingly, she was. The human might be nervous & perhaps shy but she had a natural grace or dignity about her, and her posture even nervous was well groomed. Sipping her tea she looked with narrowed eyes over the top of her cup at the shopowner. "Kipetshin, if I have any say I would have her."Picking up on something she did not know what, Trelweny nearly choked on her tea. "Excuse me?" Pale violet eyes met hers. "I would have you as my human caretaker." At the statement Trelweny looked to Kip for confirmation, mild confusion on her face. The dragon medusa certainly looked as if she could take care of herself! Where then, did she -Trelweny- come in? Kipestshin "It seems two wanders paths cross." She gave the medusa a nod of acceptence. "Well Miss Trel... will you let this lady join your adventures?" She watched the two of them together. Her eyes soft. Producing a pen and contract from seemingly out of the air, she set them both down infront of their human guest. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Trel bit her lip. "I really don't wander that often..." The dragon female smiled -almost a smirk. "That would be preferable." The human's brow quirked. She was not sure she liked feeling she had so little control over the turn of events. "We have a large family." "That could be entertaining. Would I be able to have my own sanctuary?" An appalled look filled Trelweny's face. "Of course! Everyone needs their own space. Especially with so many about." Then her eyes flew open wide, spotting the medusa's almost knowing smile. "Yes. You'll do."She was trapped -and yet, Trelweny did not feel trapped. A warm smile spread over her features, making her green eyes sparkle as if flecked with gold. Trel accepted the pen from Kipestshin with a silly grin before glancing over the contract. Her eyes flicked over the words even as she spoke again. "Do you have a name?" "Nimlaurë."Trelweny looked up, pen raised above the contract, eyes thoughtfully widened. " 'nimm-lou-ray'..." she repeated carefully, tapping the pen on her forehead. "That's Elven, isn't it? Laurë... gold. And nim is white?" Nimlaurë smiled, the white speckles on her cheeks raising. "Indeed."Feeling much better about the situation Trelweny signed her name with a flourish. "Booyaka." she murmured with a silly grin, not quite sure what to think but feeling uncontrolably happy. Keyna murred a soft agreement at her feet. Kipestshin Kip couldn't help but smile. This would be a most fitting match. She took the contract, which seemed to disappear as strangely as it had first come. Chandre peaked around the corner. "So one of us is finally off then?" She flashed a kind smirk to Nem.Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf The golden skinned female smirked in kind. "So it would seem, Chandre." Pale violet eyes flicked as if in mirth. Though there still seemed to be little warmth in Nimlaurë's smiles she did seem to be at least more receptive to her fellow dragon medusa than even the others. "I am fortunate to have been able to have a say in mine."Trelweny blushed. "Ah... Hello." She waved a bit shakily at the silver & blue dragon female. "I guess I've a bit of learning ahead of me & we'll have to be getting home then at some point. Nimlaurë will need to be shown how to create her room..." Taking a deep sip of what was left of her tea the human woman leaned against the wall. A nervous laugh escaped her. "I've got to say, I certainly was not expecting this!" She smiled kindly at everyone, one hand lightly petting the kyunru female's head between her large white floppy ears. Kipestshin "Some of the more interesting things in life are not expected." She gave a wicked grin. "You are both welcome to come visit when you desire. ... Your company is always welcome." Chandre looked a bit stoic, but smiled none the less. "I hope you chose well... but it was a choice none the less. You will be missed." She gave Nem a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "I'm glad you are happy." And she really was.Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Nimlaurë returned the hug and kiss politely. She refrained from commenting about how she would have to see about the happiness. A soft, sad look came to Trelweny's eyes. "Yes... yes they are." Her thoughts had drifted to her late husband & their son once more but she quickly reigned them in, pushing the clouds of her thoughts away to smile at the shop keeper. "Thanks. For everything. I'm sure we'll come often." She looked at Nimlaurë thoughtfully a moment. "It can be cold where I live." A small shrug. "We'll simply have to see to it that your 'sanctuary' is plenty warm enough." She was trying to remember her brother's care of cold-blooded creatures & wondering how much it might fit now. Except for the beta, all in her household were furred or feathered. She glanced at Kip sheepishly. "I'll probably be returning for information if nothing else." Kipestshin "Well if things get a bit to cold, a warm bath does wonders. Here... " She reached in a closet and pulled out an electric blanket. "Take this." She looked down at Ka..(arrgg name i forget! the blue thingy! sorry) "Now you make sure these two beautiful women don't get too distracted now okay?" She snuck her a cookie. ^_~ Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Trelweny accepted the blanket with a grin moving to wrap it around Nimlaurë's shoulders. The golden female automatically pulled her wings against her back. Keyna smiled and accepted the proffered cookie with a soft but dignified "Thank you. I will see that it is done.""Maybe we can see that your room has a heated grotto or spring in it." Nimlaurë of course had no idea what the woman was talking about but nodded. "That would be pleasant." She pulled the blanket around her shoulders. "We'll bring the blanket back once Nimlaurë is settled in. And thank you." Green eyes danced, glistening with a thin sheen of happy moisture. "It seems my wandering feet knew more than I did." Then without warning she hugged them all, bouncing back quite sheepishly but smiling. "We'll be back soon! And thanks for the tea." Lip twitching with amusement, Nimlaurë lifted a hand in goodbye before following the two females of her new family to the door.

[ 17 ] Trelweny glanced back yet again at the gold and blue dragon medusa following behind her & the kyunru. Her torso was tightly wrapped in the electric blanked Kipestshin had loaned them but her tail slinked with a light crunch through the white snow covering the ground. "Are you sure it's not too cold for you, Nimlaurë?" The female in question did not look at the human who addressed her, pale violet eyes gazing off into the distance as if upon some unseen thing. How she was able to follow them without paying any attention Trel could not know. Nimlaurë had been half listening to her as they journey & had picked up on the idea that the lake they now passed was called Bass'ken. She figured she could find her way back to the shop on her own should she ever have the desire to. She turned her face into the warm glow of the sun. "I will be glad to get inside." Nimlaurë conceded as way of an answer. Perhaps if it had been cloudy or nighttime Nimlaurë would be cold indeed. As it stood, the sun's rays warmed her enough that she was not freezing. Keyna chirped a gentle reassurance to the medusa while touching her head to Trelweny's hip. Glancing across the lake, the human woman only nodded. "We'll be there, soon enough." The trio turned & entered the dense wood. It was cooler here for Nimlaurë, though not so bad as it would be once spring returned the leaves to the deciduous trees. At least the wind was cut here. Nimlaurë glanced curiously at the small white flowers on thin vines winding up the trees that lined their path. What powers keep the blooms at this season?Once on the path the human & kyunru females' paces quickened & the dragon medusa found herself hastening to keep up. When the path opened up she saw a quaint little cottage that though cute & homey looked far too small & was not quite up to the class she preferred. The gardens however were beautiful, and despite the snow and cold were in the peak of their blooms. Nimlaurë marveled at that. As if sensing her new charge's internal musings -and quite likely she was- Trelweny looked back at her & smiled. "Amaryllis sees to our gardens. And don't worry -the house's much larger inside than out." Larger inside than out? This human speaks in riddles. Outwardly Nimlaurë merely nodded, eyes casually taking in the roses, morning glories & other flowers growing about. "Maree dear, are you about?" A small white cait cit with pink hued tips peeked up out of the snow surrounding the bases of the flowers. Bright blue eyes took in the trio & she dipped her head politely. [Sweet water to you Dida Trel, Keyna & friend. I hope you had a pleasant journey.]Nimlaurë raised a delicate brow at the young creature's manners, a small smile curving her lips. "I'd like you to meet Nimlaurë, Amaryllis, Peter. She is coming to live with us. Nimlaurë, this is our little gardener, Amaryllis & her familiar, Peter." [It is a pleasure to meet you, Nimlaurë.] Placing dirt covered paws together Amaryllis bowed deeply, the white rabbit at her side that up until now blended into his charge's fur doing likewise though a bit more casually. It was hard to miss the cit's bright blue eyes flicker to her plants. Placing the fingertips of her hands together Nimlaurë bowed at the waist. "Charmed."Blue within blue gaze flicked again to the garden. [Please forgive me. The plants need much care in this season.] Trelweny grinned, nodding & heading for the stairs. "Of course, Maree. We need to get Nimlaurë inside & a room made for her." [My thanks.]Again that oddness of "making" a room. The medusa & cait inclined their heads at one another before Nimlaurë followed Trel & Keyna up the stairs & into the house. She blinked at the size of the greatroom that met her eyes, drawing back with a sub-vocalized hiss as small creatures of myriad species & sizes descended upon them over both floor & air. Trelweny laughed & swung her arms about to ward them off. "I'm glad to see you too! Now off with you! You may all meet Nimlaurë one at a time later! I'll not have her overwhelmed!" Might be too late for that. The golden female thought, backing against a wall even as some of the creatures started to back away. Rubbing her head comfortingly against the hips of both human & medusa Keyna stepped away from them. "I will distract those I can to your room, Trelweny." She verbally explained for Nimlaurë's benefit who did not have the ability to hear the kyunru fae's thoughts as Trelweny could. The dragon medusa calmed slightly as the peacock fae female trotted across the room towards a hallway. She must have intentionally been bouncing her tails behind her which instantly grabbed the attention of most of the smaller family members and they chased happily after the kyun, trying to catch her feathery tails. Keyna passed by a black skinned beauty as she entered the hall. The GaiaCom folded her black gloved arms across her chest. She was clothed booted toe to pointed witch's hat in mint. Bright mint eyes narrowed at the procession but sought out Trelweny's. "Another one?" Trelweny sighed. With a casual glance at the woman leaning against the hallway wall, Nimlaurë let her pale violet eyes wander softly about the room. Much larger in than out, certainly. Still a simple homey charm to it. A door that led to an equally cozy kitchen... Nimlaurë's eyes lingered on a portrait of Trelweny with a man & a small boy. It gave the room an added touch of class & was exquisitely created. A true work of art. "Nimlaurë's come to live with us." "I figured." Another sigh from the human. "Nimlaurë, this is Myranda. Myranda, Nimlaurë." The gold skinned beauty nodded almost absently at the introduction before placing her fingers together as before & dipping her head politely at the witch. "Charmed." Widening an eye & arching a brow Myranda smirked lightly. "Likewise." Then to Trelweny she added. "I see she's in your colors. Even that blush tone which brings your red into it. Timex would have approved."Now it was Trel that got a faraway look to her green eyes, her gaze falling on the smiling man's features in the portrait over the fireplace. "Yes... I thought so too." Shaking herself she smiled again as if nothing had been wrong though a hint of sadness lingered in her eyes. "Theron & Ambar are asleep?" "Yes." "Good. That will give me a bit of time to see Nimlaurë settled in." Myranda scoffed. "At least she has opposable thumbs. She'll be able to take care of herself." "Now Myr..." Trelweny cautioned even as Nimlaurë made a disdainful noise behind her. "Indeed I am." The human sighed & though she did not show it the golden female felt remorse for her part in the exchange of sharp words. Trelweny did not seem to dwell long on it though, once the GaiaCom shrugged & left the room. Deftly she put her hand under the gold-female's elbow & gently led her to the lone door on the northern wall. "Okay. This may seem very strange but it's really very simple. All you have to do is picture very clearly what you want in your mind and then open the door and it will be there." She gave a wry laugh. "The room at any rate." Her gaze flickered once more to the painting before settling on Nimlaurë once more. "You can think in general terms if you would rather, but the results are highly random that way. You could think that you really need a bathroom, but might open the door to find anything from a room full of chamber pots to something that could rival those in Grand Central Station. Maybe even one like is likely to be in New Schwanstein or Buckingham Palace." Still thinking that the human must be trying to pull the wool over her eyes Nimlaurë simply nodded. "Just think what I want?"Trelweny would have responded affirmatively but the gold dragon medusa had closed her eyes & the woman could clearly see that she was concentrating. After a while the light violet eyes behind their thin veil-mask fluttered open. With a determined lilt to her chin Nimlaurë opened the door & slithered inside. She paid little heed to Trelweny watching her reaction, nodding with a pleased smile to see everything exactly as she had pictured it. Baffled a bit by the odd, detached reaction the human woman peered in. Her eyes widened instantly to the size of saucers. "Wow. Booyaka. That's practically a suite more than a room." Slowly Trelweny wandered into the sun-drenched room behind the medusa. It was easily far warmer in here than the rest of the house. Nimlaurë slithered across the gold veined green & brown stone, touching a gold working here, a white gold one there with but the slightest nod to indicate that she had heard the woman. She raised her hands lightly to the hanging lights, a pleased smile gracing her lips to feel their warmth. Then se slithered to the first alcove, dipping her hand into the gently bubbling water of the bath there & giving a nod at the water being the perfect temperature. Nimlaurë paused to check her hair in one of the many mirrors cleverly placed across the walls then made her way to the other alcove. Her small smile finally touched her eyes & Nimlaurë let the electric blanket she had been clutching around her slip from her shoulders and onto the floor in the doorway. With a gentle sigh she slid onto the large mattress, sliding the variety of covers and pillows around until she was cozily reclining on the bed. "Ah. Heated."Trelweny turned in surprise to see the little "bedroom" Heated? Wow. she sure thought of everything. Nimlaurë seemed to pay her no mind -the medusa's eyes were shut. She continued to speak though, clearly indicating that she knew the human was there. "I shall return Kipestshin's blanket to the shop when we return."The young widow nodded. "I'll have Myranda conjure something warm for you for the trip." Softly she padded to the door. "Welcome to the family, Nimlaurë." She was at the door, pulling it shut behind her when the soft musical voice reached her. "Thank you." Trelweny smiled as the door closed. "You're welcome."

[ 18 ]
Well, I am here. I slipped back outside to ask someone for ink & a quill with paper to write upon. A furred creature with blue plaid markings and gossamer wings greeted me. He spoke oddly, but his manners where unflagging. Aiden is his name, an audio rhetoric, he explained. He also suggested that perhaps it would be best for me to reside mostly in my quarters or the shop I hailed from while getting accustomed to & meeting the rest of the family. He gave me a photo album to look over & I must admit I agree with him. Besides, my sanctuary is much warmer than the rest of the house.
It is difficult to believe my luck. So far I do believe I have made the right choice. I might not have made it, but for the pretty kyunru being clearly content in the human woman's presence. Trelweny has been nothing but kind to me & being able to make a place for myself exactly as I would like within her home is more than I could have dreamed. It really means a lot to me. My sanctuary is absolutely perfect.
I suppose I must return to the shop to return that blanket eventually. The GaiaCom Myranda -and I must say I was quite shocked to learn she was a mechanical construct- brought my new "coat" by for me after I left Aiden's company so at least I will not be as cold on the journey. She said something about it having a heat-regulating lining, which I can only guess means that it works rather like my bed. It certainly feels warm enough when I don it. Perhaps I can put it off one day more.

Dooma The purple medusa slowly shifted on the couch. He was not asleep just laying staring up at the ceiling. His tail was warped around two of the legs of the couch and around the arm. He had alot to think over and he always enjoyed just londgeing around if there was nothign to help clean or no one around. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Nimlaurë glanced around the shop. Trelweny had brought her back here to "socialize" while the human rummaged the library or other source of information to learn about the Medusa's proper care. The gold dragon female still wore her new coat & carried a folded blanket in her arms against her chest. Pinned to the blanket was a note of thanks penned in gold in Nimlaurë's stylized script. Right now, she was trying to remember which door went to the closet Kipestshin had removed the blanket from. Of course, her pale violet eyes did not seem to be doing anything more than gazing at the place with an almost distant expression. Kipestshin Mtsume yawnned as he walked past the front of the shop. He thought the sound of someone comming in was Thomas, who had been up to something the last few days. He was startled when he came face to face with a golden dragon lady. "H-hello." He bowed. "w-welcome back." Steal Jacentus looked around his room, one delicate hand rubbing down his cheeks. He must have fallen asleep, for it seemed that the cute one armed boy was gone. He sighed and looked at the bedding around him, smooth despite his form under it. "Well... this is something. It seems I was abandoned. Pity..." Kipestshin Thomas knocked on the blue dragon's door far from delecatly or soft. "Hey you... up yet?" he didn't sound much like he cared. "Mitsume thought you might need lunch or something..." he let out a sigh. Bob Dobbs *Helena peeked through the half open door behind Thomas unable to satiate her curiosity at having heard movement inside. She hadn't intended on being nosy but in her excitement at being here everything was new. She was loathe to miss anything.* Dooma Aderlass heard all the noise and looked around the shop. He tried to take in all that was going on then thought it was best if he finally took a bath again. He sighed and moved to get a towel and a hooded robe so he could wash his jacket. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf She turned slowly -almost regally- to face the speaker. She remembered seeing him while she was at the shop before. Probably. "Hello. Thank you." Yes -that seemed the right thing to say. Recognizing the right door she opened the closet & tucked the blanket back inside with the note facing up. That accomplished she shut it again, not quite looking at the one armed male. It was more like she was looking past him, though she saw him clearly enough. "I suppose an introduction is appropriate? I am Nimlaurë." Steal The feminine Jacentus looked up, his eyes widening as there was a knock on the door. He leaned up a bit, arching a slender brow. "Ahh then he did not completely forget about me. Please.. do come in." He spread his wings a bit, brushing back his pale hair from his eyes curious to see what would walk into the room. It did have one positive aspect, whomever it was sounded masculine.Freddy looked at the female that seemed to be curious about the door, his lips curling as he moved slowly close to her form. "Peekaboo.. I ssssee you.." His words hissed from his lips as he approached Helena. Bob Dobbs *Helena jumped then turned to face Freddy. She giggled at being caught and smiled however that smile froze as she took a good luck at Freddy's face* Oh my gosh! what happened to you? were you in an accident? I'm sorry you must get that all the time. Here let me help and I'll fix you up in a jiffy. *Finds some bandages as quickly as she spoke before trying to wrap up Freddy's entire head and hat with it" Nurse Helena at your service! *She saluted dorkily as some of the gauze started slipping off * Steal The malicious leer that was trying to cross Freddy's lips faltered as he felt the bandages starting to cocoon his face. This was not at all what he was used to having happen. He reached up his clawed hand to start to remove the banadages, only to have some already falling loose. "What in the blazes are you doing?" He blinked and fixed his fedora. "These don't heal.... you, are a strange one." Kipestshin "Very pleased to meet you. I'm Mitsume." He offered to take her coat. "Could i interest you in a cup of tea? Please come in..." He caught a glimps of Aderlass headed to the bathroom. Ceesecakey images floated through his mind and he blushed trying to shake them out of his head. He did hope Viktor hadn't used up all the bubble bath.Thomas made his way into the room. "You have to get up today." He almost glared at the medusa, "I have to change the bedding." He set down a sandwich and an apple on the nightstand. "Hope you like tuna... " Dooma Having gotten the robe Aderlass quickly changed into it and moved to the landury room to wash his jacket, before he headed towards the bathroom. he remembered that there was a huge tub...though he did not know where the bubbles were but a nice long soak in warm water to think thinks over could not be bad. He smiled and laughed remembering the last time he had taken a bath. Bob Dobbs Im sorry, I didn't know they didn't heal. Have you tried moisturizer? I hear its very good for wrinkles. *Thinking maybe he was just very old instead of injured as she had originally thought* I don't think Im strange though. *Her brow furrowed as she thought. Maybe eatting all that sugar in one sitting did not help. It only heightened the excitement of being here meeting so many others in one place. She was very hyper tonight and all smiles.* So how old are you, ninety? Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "Charmed." Casually she removed her coat & handed it to Mitsume. "Tea is always welcome. Thank you, Mitsume." She spoke to him cordially but her voice held little emotion and her pale violet eyes never seemed to focus on anything. Idly Nimlaurë saw another medusa she did not know move into another door. It occurred to her she did not know where it led & shrugged as she slithered towards what she thought she remembered to be the kitchen area. Tea sounded good. If it was one thing Trelweny was poor about it was tea. The human simply did not enjoy the beverage properly. All that sugar. Steal Jace blinked a little as he looked down at the food, before looking fully at Thomas. He was so mean. Jacentus sniffled and turned away, his shoulders slumping. "You do not need to be so rude...." He sighed and let his wings fall down, no longer feeling so proud. The other boy wasn't so mean..Freddy was agast. "Moisturizer.. these are burns.. burns as in someone setting me on fire I don't think anything like that is going to work." He shook his head and grit his teeth. This was insane. NO.. She was insane. "Burned.. torched .. left to die. Ugh. " Why did he suddenly feel the need to chew on the edge of his fedora? Bob Dobbs Burns? then thats all the more reason to use moisturizer. *Then she thought of something horrible. What if moisturizer wasnt good on burns. Maybe what he needed was some kind of sterile hospital cream. Where could she get that without a prescription anyway?* Then again. . . .maybe you have a point. *Looks thoughtful as he chews his fedora* Dooma Aderlass moved into the bathroom filled the tub. He looked for the bubbles but could not find them so he just moved into the warm water and smiled. Oh this was nice. He leaned back against the wall of the tub and let his mind drift off. He would stay here as long as it would take to wash his jacket then he would go and put it in the dryer. He smiled, though a warmed up jacket could not make up for the heat of Mitsume or Holden against him. He blushed lightly and laughed. Man Mitsume seemed to be relaxing more against him and had even seemed to enjoy the cuddles. He smiled and let his mind drift. Kipestshin Mtsume started a large kettle of water. "Did you have a good night?" He ran his finger ofter the tea selection looking for a few good choices. "... Your master treating you well?" His comments wern't acusing, just more simple converation.Thomas just looked at him. "Rude?... what are you vegetarian?" Tact wasn't his strongest trait and ir showwed. Steal Jace looked at Thomas and sighed. "No, but you are nothing like the other that came in here. He was polite and at least seemed to be willing to be friendly, you seem...." Ugh there was only one word. "mean..." His eyes pooled with tears and he sniffled, looking down at his blanket. Ahhh manipulitive tears.. such a treasure.Freddy sighed and put the fedora back on his head, looking out of sorts. He was not prepared to deal with someone like this. He was used to teens and all of their.. macho or at least stubborn traits. This girl was... bubble headed to say the least. "Urf..." He sighed and shook his head a bit more. "Where did you crawl out of?" Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf She gazed about the kitchen, seemingly unimpressed. "Yes, I did." Finding an empty counter Nimlaurë leaned back upon it, resting her elbows on the edge & letting her wings lower to its surface. "My human does not treat me as if she is my master." The cold control of her voice slipped ever so slightly, showing the gold female's perplexed feelings at that fact. She did not know what to think about it, though she thought she liked it. Kipestshin Thomas looked to the side. Mitsume wasn't going to be to thrilled that he made his friend cry. "Yes, Mitsume is very nice." He moved the plate closer to their guest. "... you better not mistreat him" He grumbled. "i'll.... bring you some tea and tissues." =_= Bob Dobbs I used to live with a traveling Carny but those arent really all that popular nowadays. People seem more interested in video games and silly horror movies instead of sword swallowers and elephants. *She smiled not having a clue she was supposed to be afraid of him. After spending a good portion of her life with freaks she was pretty much used to it. She thought that it was a miracle he was burned alive and lived to tell about it. He would fit right in where she was from.* Steal What a let down. It seemed that Thomas wasn't one to react to things like tears and such. He sighed and wiped his eyes with the edge of the blanket before slideing out of bed and spreading his wings full. He then stretched showing off his whole form. It was time to go and be seen. Or was it. He still was feeling a little unsure. He had no idea what kind of beings were out there, and it seemed that none were like him and those he came with.Freddy blinked a bit and shook his head. His mind was reeling with the information. This girl was ... a side show freak? Is that what she had said. he wasn't sure because of the jobs she listed. "Er... Carnival... well, I guess that is better than a boiler room...." Kipestshin "Oh that is good!" He smiled and picked a nicepwhite peach tea. "we would hate for you to be mistreated."
He poured her a cup, as well as one for himself. "Would you like a piece of cake?" He turned to cut one for himself. "It is strawberry and chocolate. Freshly made" ^_^ Bob Dobbs *She smiled even more when he seemed to take an interest* I always loved the trapese artists, they looked like angels in flight during their act and I'd wake up to the smell of greasepaint and hay in the air. If it hadn't disbanded I think I'd still be traveling with them. I am glad my new owner is a nice guy though it is a bit weird he's already dead. I never thought I'd ever meet a Zombie before much less have one as an owner. Steal Freddy grinned, showing burned cracked teeth. "Now that is something I understand. Dead. I am too, I was murdered... well okay I killed alot of kids but still..." he smirked and flicked his tail. "Here I am.. dead and.. back. I just don't quite remember why..." Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Her distant gaze moved to the cake as he sliced it. Nimlaurë did not eat sweets often, other than fruit. However, she did not wish to be rude -and he had mentioned strawberries. "Perhaps a small one."
Something was tickling her mind. "Why do you stay here?" Bob Dobbs *Helena nodded, listening to what Freddy said. She was glad that he seemed to calm down and began to talk.* My owner was attacked by green rabbits in the gambino mansion. They made him very sick and his body just couldnt recover. he says he remembers hell briefly and thousands praising him and throwing little pickles at him but I think that was just his imagination. That would be completely ridiculous, Don't you think so? *idly gets some practice balls out and starts to juggle them* Steal Freddy really remembered hell, and there were no pickles. There was a big guy with a machete and hockey mask... who was really handsome, not that he would admit to that out loud, but no pickles. "I think he was just feverish. Pickles would be a nice change to what is really in hell." He smirked. "There are screams and pain.. and weapons galore. Usually they are being used on you though." Dooma Aderlass dragged himself from the cooling watery warmth and took a towel to dry off his long tail and body then pulled on the robe, "There all clean...now I won't get things dirty....any more. He moved back out into the main room as the water started to drain. He would get his jacket on then go and change the sheets of the bed he had laid in wail he was covered in dirt and dust. Bob Dobbs Well I wouldnt know much about hell. The closest was the fortune teller lady but that was mainly for show. *Replaces one of the balls with a mask. Her movements precious and accurate as if she were doing nothing but talking with Fred. After a bit she stopped and headed to the kitchen to make herself a little snack.* Kipestshin Mitsume smiled and cute her a lovely looking piece, careful to get some whole strawberries on top. "Heh... " He set the cake down infront ov her and took his own piece, "I live here." He smiled. "I work here, along with Thomas and Viktor. I... was a return purtchase if you will. Kip took me in and i've been here ever since." Steal Freddy watched her hands, his eyebrows.. or rather the place where they should have been arching a bit. She was good with her hands. That thought made him smirk. Just how good was she with her hands? Ohhh gutter. Bad Freddy. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Her hard facade softened seeing the strawberries & Nimlaurë slithered over to a spot at the table & took a seat at the table before her where the cake was. "Thank you."
Nimlaurë sipped daintily at her tea, letting the warm liquid sit in her mouth before swallowing. "This is very good." She took a bite, closing her eyes as she savored the taste. "As is this."
Setting down her fork she looked the maimed one over. He was not beautiful, but neither was he unattractive. His missing arm could be reason enough for some to want to "return" him. But Nimlaurë found him pleasant enough company. Certainly not a hindrance or annoyance. "I don't believe I've met those of whom you speak, though I'm certain I saw them when I was here." She picked the fork back up, the distant gaze returning to her eyes. "It's better for you here." It was both question & statement, for she did not require a response as she took another bite of cake. Kipestshin Thomas came back with some tea and a slice of cake. He figured this would chear him up, and if not then too bad. "Oh, your up. That is good." *he set the cake down. "Mitsume made this, thoought you might like a piece." Kipestshin Mitsume smiled at that. "Yes, i do quite like it here. Miss Kipestshin is a.." He tried to think of the right word but settled on the best he could think of, "understanding master. I'm glad you like the tea. It is one of my favorites."
He poked at a strawberry on his plate a bit. "Thomas is the..," He seemed to try to mimic what he was discribing, " more bulky one of us... short spikey hair and has a rattle." He wiggled the tip of his tail. "He can also be a bit... tempremental." ^___^' "Viktor is the albino with the long hair. He can be a bit overwhelming at times... but means well." Steal The dragon male turned and looked at Thomas, his eyes half closed. 'Thank you, it was kind of him to think of me, though he only met me once. I would not have been shocked to find that he forgot me already. I am not one to inspire rememberance." He tried to fish for a compliment, wanting to hear something at least that was more than just.. this cold matter of factness. Dooma Aderlass put his robe in the dyer and sat on the washer swaying his tail wail he waited for it to dry. Though the robe was nice and warm. He smiled and hummed softly. He nuzzled his face down into the neck of the robe and laughed. Maybe he coudl really amuse himself it he let his mind wander around. Kipestshin "He does try to take care of everyone. " He rolled his eyes and didn't give into the medusa's attention wanting. "Well when you feel up to it, there are quite a lot of others here... you might like to meet them." He turned around and left. Bob Dobbs *Helena hummed underneath her breath while she prepared something for her to snack on. On spying some teas she wondered if she was allowed to make some to go with her snack. She smiled to herself and continued to bustle around the kitchen* heart Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf She sipped at her tea thoughtful but distant. "Yes. I do think I saw them." Passing glances most likely. Nimlaurë rarely paid much attention if she did not need to do so. "Trelweny has a mothering trait. I would not be surprised if she asked me what I had done while she studied." Actually, that was likely part of the reason she continued to speak to Mitsume now: to have something to tell her human when she was asked on the way home. Steal It was like someone had poked a hole in Jacentus. He deflated and looked stunned. Nothing, no reaction, no comment. It was like he was invisible. Jace's pride melted and he looked at the cake. He wanted to eat it, but maybe that was the issue. Was he fat? A pimple on one of his facial scales? Kipestshin Mitsume finished his cake. "She does seem like she is nice. More tea?" He was still tired from the other day and was a very poor converastionalist today. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf The gold female blinked, realizing that her cup was indeed empty. Now when had that happened? Nimlaurë passed her cup towards Mitsume. "Yes, please."
Setting her fork down on the now cleared plate she looked off towards the door. Between hearing & feeling the floor beneath her tail she knew others were about. Perhaps she should show more than mild curiosity to their existence. The dragon female did not mind the silence or lack of overly stimulating conversation. Nothing really stimulated her interest. She found her mind drifting to the long bath she had taken in her new suite this morning. She really was pampered now, was she not? If only she could find something that interested her, that stimulated her, that piqued her interest. Gold. Yes. White gold. Even more, yes.
Pale violet eyes blinked & Nimlaurë let out the barest whisper of a sigh. Dooma Aderlass laughed and leaned back and when he heard and felt the dryer stop. He looked down and got off the washer and opened the dryer. He smiled and pulled out his jacket changing into it in the wash room then moved out into the living room. He laughed and nuzzled his warm jacket and towards his couch, "Nice and clean...and pretty warm too." Steal Jace sighed and picked up the slice of cake, holding it in his hand and resigning himself to leave the room that he had been in the last while. He would not gain a master by staying where he was. Afterall that is why he had been brought here.
The cake smelled so lovely though. But if it was makeing him fat, eating it it would not do, nor would risking the acne it would bring. But.. surely one taste...
He stared down at the temptation as he slithered though the door. Finally he was visible to all others. Kipestshin Mitsume looked at his guest as she sighed. He hopped she wasn't bored on his account. "Miss Nimlaurë, have you had the pleasure of meeting Aderlass?" He waived hello to the squeaky clean purple medusa. Caneton Voodoo slithered up to the shop... It had been so long since this Elder Medusa had left the safety of Caneton's Sunny Cove where she lived with her brothers and sisters and many of the other crazy monsters that crawled out of Kippu's world.
She had been quite content to remain there... but finally something had drawn her out. Some need to interact with others of her own species. So she had followed those inner promptings and found herself just outside the shop. Now that she was here, she hesitated, wondering what she was going to do. It had been so long since she'd been social that she wondered if she had lost her skills.
"Oh well, no sense in putting this off any longer," she chided herself as she pushed open the door and slithered in.
The place was exactly as she remembered it. Sure, Kipestshin had made a few changes here and there, but it was essentially the shop she had loved all those years ago... the shop where she'd been introduced to Caneton.
Gingerly, she entered, looking curiously at all of the other medusae which were gathered there. Bob Dobbs *Through the doorway of the kitchen she spied another medusa coming in. Helena thought her very pretty and wondered if she too wouldnt care for something to eat. She peeked around the door and waited to see what would happen* Dooma Aderlass turned catching the wave from the corner of his eyes. He smiled and waved his hand back. He saw that Mitsume had a guest and did not want to inturde. He folded the robe and set it on his couch's back. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf The gold and blue female dipped her antlered head at the recently cleaned male, her blue hair brushing against her cheeks at the motion. "No. I don't believe I have. It is nice to meet you Aderlass."
She dipped her head also at any others she could see, a light of recognition in her violet eyes as she spotted Jacentus. Nimlaurë wondered if the overly pretty male had found a human yet. Caneton There were so many new faces that Voodoo didn't recognize. She had been hoping for at least one familiar Medusa... but no luck. Her insecurities flared up inside her, but she refused to let it show outwardly.
Instead, she decided to head into the kitchen to make herself a calming cup of tea. She knew that she'd be able to relax after the warm liquid was flowing through her... then she'd try meeting the new ones.
She turned and headed back towards the kitchen. Just as she rounded the door she almost collided with a beautiful young medusa.
"Oh, excuse me. That was awfully rude of me to not look where I was going," She reared back, so she wouldn't hit the other one. "Would you mind if I joined you to make a cup of tea?" Dooma Aderlass bowed and nods to the golden medusa with Mitsume, "It is my pleasure ma'am." He said as his hood shielded him. Wow there were so many running about. He had never seen that many people. He looked down and moved onto his couch, at least if he was on the couch he was out of everyone's way. He looked around and watched. Bob Dobbs *Helena held her hands up to her face in shock and embarassment. She moved herself in order to allow this medusa into the kitchen where she had been making some food and contemplating tea. She smiled and held her cheek, tilting her head to the side a bit* Please forgive me for blocking your way. *She finished putting cheese and crackers on a plate and then rummaged around for some tea. There was so many type to choose from and the choices overwhelmed her somewhat. Perhaps a simple irish blend would suffice for tonight as she made some new friends.* I can make the tea for both of us if you'd like? heart Steal Balanceing the plate in one hand, the blue dragon medusa slithered toward the room where the most voices seemed to be concentrated. He moved to the doorway and paused, makeing sure to get the best lighting to make a dramatic entrance effect. It was always best to ensure that the most people see you as possible. Caneton "Only if you'll allow me to help you. Yes, that would be wonderful. Is there any Jasmine tea? That's one of my favorites... unless you had another one in mind."
Voodoo could feel herself babbling as she tried to relax but failed. To regain her composure, while the other medusa rummaged around in the tea, she turned to the cupboard between them.
"Ah yes, they still keep the cups where the used to." She pulled down a cup for herself and for the other lady and set them on the counter between them.
"I'm sorry, where are my manners. My name is Voodoo." Bob Dobbs *Helena paused in her search for the Irish and Jasmine tea long enough to make a proper introduction. She held out a long slightly muscular arm from years of juggling to shake hands and smiled at Voodoo.* I am Helena, It is soo wonderful to meet you. *She found the tea easily enough now that she had calmed down and on setting it down on the counter went to heat up some water for the both of them. She nibbled like a mouse on a cracker and rested her back on the wall. When the teapot whistled she would put the water into the mugs. She took a look at Voodoo and made polite banter. The truth was she was a little nervous as other than freddy kreuger she really hadn't met anyone. Anotsu did not count really as He lived with Bob and her.* Dooma Aderlass lay down on the couch so much was going on there were so many bodies he was getting confused and he figured that he would get in the way so he just watched the ceiling and shut his eyes after a wail just listening to it all. Caneton While they waited, Voodoo busied herself spooning out the tea mixtures into steeping strainers and then waited for the water to boil as well.
Voodoo took the proferred hand and shook it delicately, noticing that Helena was rather stiff... maybe she wasn't the only nervous one here. "It really is a pleasure to meet you." She relaxed a little realizing that she wasn't alone in her discomfort. She sidled closer to Helena so that she could whisper conspiratorily in her ear.
"I'm new around here and suddenly, I don't feel so bad knowing that I'm not alone." She then smiled a warm, heartfelt smile at Helena and waited to see if she would relax too. Bob Dobbs *Helena did relax a bit after hearing that and couldn't help but smile back. The years that she had enjoyed as a traveling performer had not prepared her for normal day to day life. It saddened her that her troupe had dissolved however modern times really werent any place for Carnies. finding her place again wouldnt be easy but she resolved to try. With Bob and Anotsu to help. . .well. . .More Bob as Anotsu had his own issues to deal with she thought, laughing inwardly. Bob did seem to seek out wounded pigeons didn't he?* Im glad I am not the only "newbie". *Said Helena as she offered the plate of cheese and rice cracker to her newfound friend.* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Her eyes suddenly seemed to focus on the movement around her & she blinked slowly at the two other females who had entered the room at some point. "Oh. Hello. My apologies. I did not see you enter." Nimlaurë nodded her head at both. At some point her eyes flicked to the doorway, seeing Jacentus making a very impressive entrance into either this room or the living room just beside. She did not look long enough to figure out which, merely giving him a nod of her head to show she had indeed seen him. Hard to miss a creature of such beauty, even if they were not each other's types.
The dragon medusa pursed her lips a moment. What was her type? She folded her striped wings against her back, the golden tassels lightly tickling where they brushed. Ah. No bother. "I am Nimlaurë." Steal Jacentus started to wilt. Despite where he was standing, and the perfect lighting, it seemed that no one noticed him at all. It was like he was invisible. He sighed and bowed his head, all signs of cocky pride gone while he slithered toward the kitchen passing any that may be in the way.
Now he just wanted to put the cake away and go back to his room and hide again. Bob Dobbs *Helena folded her wings a bit tighter as she turned around to see Nimlaure. had she been so intent on peeking out at Voodoo she had not noticed anyone else was in here?* I am very sorry to have been rude, My name is Helena *She extended her hand towards Nimlaure to shake hers in a proper greeting. She felt sure that once she had gotten her bearings around the place she wouldnt be this retiring in nature.* Caneton  Voodoo turned in surprise... she'd been so caught unawares at having almost run over Helena and utterly nervous about meeting new people, that she had entirely missed the other medusa in the kichen.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! There is so much going on today... I feel so rude. We' were just preparing some tea, would you like to join us?" She was really happy to see Helena smile and begin to relax. Knowing that by helping the other one relax, was also helping her too. She was doing fine without the tea.
"I'm sorry. But other than being around the few other Medusae that live with Caneton, I really haven't gotten out much. I was always quite content to read the classics and enjoy the sun. What do the two of you do for fun?"Bob Dobbs *Helena brightens up and takes three apples in her hands. Tossing one up and then the other as she begins to juggle. After a minute she grabs a fourth with her fast reflexes and adds that to the mix.* I also like to read a lot. Caneton Watching Helena juggle the apples, made Voodoo clap with child-like joy.
"That is wonderful, where did you learn to do that? What a marvelous talent.
"Oh, and you like reading too?" The water was boiled so she began to pour it into the mugs to let the tea steep for a bit.
"What books do you prefer? I love the Bronte sisters, and most of Victor Hugo's works... but I'll admit to love some of the darker stories like Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera.
"How about you," she asked Nimlaure? Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf  "It is nice to meet you, Helena, Voodoo." She waved her hand softly along the table. "Mitsume made some tea for us earlier, so I am good for the moment, thank you."
She arched a perfectly curved brow at the juggling before answering the question. "I like gold -particularly white gold- but as for doing something for fun... I suppose I like to relax."
Yes. That was what she had been doing since arriving at Trelweny's house.
Nimlaurë waved at the beautiful male as he neared. "Won't you join us, Jacentus?" She waved a hand to indicate a seat beside Mitsume. "You're looking much better from our journey."Caneton Voodoo nodded at what Nimlaure said.
"I know what you mean. When Caneton adopted me and took me home, that's what I've done mainly for the last few years. It's addictive and lethargy can grow on a soul very quickly. But relaxing is one of my favorite pasttimes too."
She took the strainers and used a spoon to squeeze the remaining tea from the leaves and the banged out the strainer over the garbage.
"Has yours steeped long enough for you, Helena dear?" Bob Dobbs *Helena ended her "performance" and caught the apples one by one then bowed as she used to it seemed lifetime ago. It was a part of her life she would miss terribly but circumstances being what they were, she considered an entirely different adventure.* I traveled with a carnival for most of my life. Old comforts die hard. *she grinned and put the apples back so she could retrieve her cup of tea. Entertaining was akin to breathing and it always made her happy to make someone else smile like the way Voodoo was.* I like the old classics like the illead and old medevil poetry. Caneton Voodoo slowly drank the sweet tea, letting the warmth flow down her throat and fill her. She was glad to be making new acquaintances... and who knew, maybe even some new friends.
"Oh, a carnival... that sound both wonderful and yet scary at the same time... having all of those people stare at you. I'm thankful that we're safe here."
She finished her tea and then noticed the clock on the wall...
"Oh my goodness-gracious. It's getting late. I really should be heading home. It was such a pleasure meeting both of you." She reached out and warmly shook both Helena and Nimlaure's hands. She then quickly washed her cup and set it in the dish drainer to dry.
"Please tell me that you'll both be back here again soon?" Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Although she was impressed at the juggling Nimlaurë did not show it. She merely watched and gave a light nod of her head. "I suppose in time I shall tire of it too. For the moment it is still a luxury."
Daintily she sipped at her tea. "I will try to remember the books you like when that time comes. It would be a good place to begin."
Nimlaurë nodded gently. "Most likely. It is less busy here, somehow." Caneton "I'm sorry to have to run, but I'll come back and see you soon."
With that, Voodoo left the shop and headed back to Caneton's Sunny Cove. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf She waved almost haphazardly as the female left, her eyes straying to the golden serpent circlet the other wore. Her hair was also nicely done, Nimlaurë noted. "Farewell, Voodoo." Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Putting her hand to her mouth primly Nimlaurë bit back a yawn. "I do apologize. I must not be as over my journey as I had thought."
Rising from her chair she took both empty plate & cup to the sink & ran a little water into each. She found herself watching the way the water trailed from the faucet & over the lips of the dishes before finally turning it off. She dipped her head politely at those still present, the fingers of her hands lightly tipped together. "Until we meet again. Farewell."
With that the gold dragon female slithered from the room to find Trelweny & see about them going home. Her heated bed with its many blankets sounded blissful to Nimlaurë at that moment. She paused in the hallway to grab her coat, ready to go home.

[ 20 ]
As I suspected, Trelweny wished to know how my visit to the shop went while she was studying the literature there about my race -between letting me know what she had learned. Such as there was very little information on my particular sub-species, which is really not very surprising when it is taken into consideration how not very long ago our entourage arrived.
So it was most gratifying to be able to regale her with having met Mitsume, Aderlass, Helena, & Voodoo as well as having been given descriptions of Thomas & Viktor. I am certain I would recognize them all if I saw them again.
I did see Jacentus again. He really is a wilting beauty, is he not? Perhaps I should feel guilty for not making more of an attempt to show I had seen him. I doubt it would have mattered to him much -attention such as I would be willing to give is not likely what my fellow dragon-medusa seeks.
I suppose I shall be returning relatively soon. I did tell Voodoo that I should. In all it is a pleasant enough place. Perhaps I shall try one of the books she or Helena mentioned they liked in the interum. No reason to let my mind become lax.
--The borrowed blanket has been returned & my new coat works wonderfully. I barely felt the cold & the hood did not mess my hair.

[ 21 ] Return for a misplaced Quill page 352Steal Jacentus only partially noted that someone was waving at him, or rather at someone perhaps behind him. He looked over his shoulder and saw no one though, well that wasn't quite true. From his place in the kitchen entry, he was able to look back and see the other male on the sofa. That male had his eyes closed and seemed tired, or rather completely asleep. He shook his head and looked back to the kitchen.
She was then waving at him? He still found it unlikely. With a graceful movement, the dragon moved into the kitchen still holding the plate with the slice of cake on it.
So many calories.. so many wonderful smelling calories.....
Oh for temptation.. the horror of it all..... Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf
The golden dragon female was quite upset with herself. Somehow When she was in last she had left her new quill behind. Oh, She could have easily asked Myranda to conjure her a new one, but there was the principle of having left it that bothered Nimlaurë. So she had donned her new coat and headed back almost immediately.
One of her new family had noticed her leave, & the blue & white angelic kitsusagi had insisted with his sailor's speech that he could not let a "lass" such as she travel so far alone. Nimlaurë had bristled at his tone & undercurrent but as she was in a hurry accepted AearHwesta's offer of a ride. She could not deny that it was faster.
She slithered quickly into the shop, shutting the door behind her. The kitchen was the most likely place she could have left it. A familiar beauty was entering and Nimlaurë hastened as much as prudence would permit to reach him. The cake in his hand she recognized, and the barest slip of a smile softened her lips. "I see you have a slice of Mitsume's chocolate & strawberry cake, Jacentus. For something so sweet it is surprisingly good.

[ 22 ] Have some tea with that drama page 361Bob Dobbs *Anotsu sits at the table and sips at his hot Coco. Helena is on hand to help him out* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Nimlaurë Felt she was getting accustomed to traveling between her new home & the shop now. Sometimes, she could fly low with her wings, keeping her from having to slither through the snow that surrounded her home at this time of year.
The golden dragon medusa could not put her finger on why she had returned to the shop today. Perhaps it was the female Voodoo's comment on falling prey to lethargy. Whatever the reason, Nimlaurë was there now.
Folding her wings so that she could bring them through the whole in her coat for them Nimlaurë removed her coat & hung it in the hall closet. That done, she headed for the living room. Perhaps there was something to catch her interest there or on the way.
Her wandering gaze caught the flash of color from inside the kitchen & the golden female paused to peer inside. She recognized the female, but not the male with her. "Hello again, Helena." Kipestshin Thomas looked at his near empty drink. It was nice to be warm. He sprawled out on the coutch and let out a contented sigh and shut his eyes. Bob Dobbs *Helena left Anotsu for a few minutes as she saw someone come in. She snickered at Thomas almost passed out on the couch and covered her mouth with her hand in order not to wake him* Steal Jacentus slithered down the hall, his hands empty again, though the thought of food running through his mind. He looked down at his trim waist seeing it as fat. It was terrible the kind of doubts that could be set in a mind just from a mistake. He sighed and looked for a place to sit and rest, seeing a bean bag chair in the main sitting room. It looked perfect for the time being. Kipestshin Thomas wagged the tip of his tail that hung over the arm of the couch like a contented cat. He was to caught up being happy to really do anything. Well... at least get up and say hi. Bob Dobbs *Helena waved at Thomas and the nice Medusa she met the other day and them went back into the kitchen to take care of Anotsu.* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf She nodded and smiled as Jacentus passed by her, noting that it appeared the one Mitsume had called Thomas was in the living room or family room or whatever the name of the room was that she could see from the kitchen. She slithers in, deciding that she shall make some tea. Enough for all that she had seen if they wanted it.
Nimlaurë quirked a brow at the carney female. "Something amuses you?" Then to the masked male. "Good day. I am called Nimlaurë. I hope I'm not interrupting anything. I thought I would make some tea." Steal Jacentus nodded at the female that seemed to have at least noticed him, then he glanced at Thomas who was laying on the sofa. Well, it was good that someone seemed relaxed, though now it made him wonder just how welcome he was going to be in that room. He didn't want to discourage anyone from doing as they always did. Bob Dobbs Nothing bad I assure you *Says Helena from the kitchen. She had already started making some tea for everyone if they chose to have some.* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Pale violet eyes blinked, seeing the pot already on the stove for tea. "It appears you have beaten me to it." Her voice is flat, neither disappointed nor holding any other emotion. With a faint shrug of her bare shoulders Nimlaurë opens a cabinet to produce tea cups & a tray. Bob Dobbs *Helena smiled appreciatively and poured water into the waiting cups Nimlaure had so kindly placed out for her.* thank you so much Kipestshin Thomas cracked an eye open. The room was full of lovely medusa. "Hey there! Blue! ... uhhh yeah you J-Jacesomething! good ta see you out and about. " Steal Jace blinked as he noticed that he was being spoken to. He spread his wings and rose back to slither closer to Thomas. "You are speaking to me?" He pressed one hand to his lips and looked down. "YOu were not so.. well you seemed to not wish to be around me before.." He the musical voice cut out a bit. Bob Dobbs *Helena brings out some tea for all and sets it on a table. She hands Thomas a mug in case he wants one before sitting down and enjoying the company. She'd let Anotsu skulk around by himself in the kitchen for now knowing he did not play well with others* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "I do what I can." Nimlaurë remarked almost casually, her attention seeming to be on some unknown spot. "Would you and your friend like to join me, Helena? I thought I would offer some to Jacentus & the one called Thomas in the other room."
Already she was picking up the tray & heading for the door at a gentle pace. The tone of her voice indicated that she was being more polite than actually having a preference for what anyone chose to do. Kipestshin "Yesh i was talking to you." He gave a yawn. "your friends are in the kitchen makin' stuff..." He watched Helena bring him tea. "Thnaks ssssssweetnessss." He looked at her flirty but went back to just laying and taking up the whole couch. Bob Dobbs *Helena smiles at him and sips her tea before looking around to see what everyone else was doing* Steal Jacentus blinked and looked at Helena, then backed away fast "I have no friends." He sighed a little and shook his head, pushing blond hair out of his eyes. "Feh.. who needs them." He looked away and crossed his arms over his chest.
It seemed Thomas wasn't so interested in talking to him as he had hoped. He wasn't doing so good at the getting attention thing. At least not in the way he wanted. Bob Dobbs *Helena looks at him oddly and confused like* I wasnt asking if you had friends, I just wanted to know if you'd care for some tea. Kipestshin Thomas flicked his tounge. "Don't see why not.... they don't bite." He got a pervy grin before yelling, "HEY LADIES! you don't bite TOO hard for our friend here do ya?" Bob Dobbs *Helena bursts into laughter and on putting down her tea, tried to hold her mouth closed. She had not been expected that to come out of Thomas. It was completely inappropriate but it was so funny at the same time* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf She blinked a little, seeing that Helena had the same idea. Well, it was a good one. Taking her own cup she slipped into a seat across from the masked male. "Forgive me... I don't believe I caught your name."
As her own violet gaze slid lazily over his fit form before looking off into the distance Nimlaurë did not happen to notice that the male's 'gaze' took nothing in.
Hearing Thomas' outburst she shook in mild confusion. The only ladies she knew here tonight were Helena & herself. She supposed she must answer then & called out whith a firm carrying voice. "I've not bitten anyone yet." Kipestshin Thomas couldn't help but roll with laughter. "N-Not yet?!" he reached for his tea, laughing to much to pick it up without spilling splashes, "Someone is a bit more feisty then they let on!" He finally managed to sit up. "See Jace? pleeeenty of friends to be had!" xd Steal Jacentus cringed and looked a little green, which was strange on a blue draconic male. He shook his head and looked away. "Ugh... girls.. I am sorry, you must think wrongly of me, but I have no... interest in... anything with a female that would result in any kind of .. biting or contact of the like." The fluteing voice clearly conveyed his distaste. "I.. ... clearly misled you in thoughs..." He placed one hand to his face and sighed. "Perhaps.. i should return to my room, or speak to..someone about a relocation." He looked at the two females and shook his head a bit more. Bob Dobbs *Anotsu finished his coco and put it in the sink. Then he felt his way to the doorway and hovered in it to hear what everyone was saying. The laughter intruiged him but he did not want to come out just yet.* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "Excuse me a moment." She said to the masked male, lifting her cup & slithering to the doorway. The comments from the other room insisted on being addressed.
Nimlaurë leaned on the doorway opposite Anotsu, not really exiting the room she was in nor entering the main sitting area. Her light violet gaze flicked over the body of the one she had been told was Thomas. At least he was not thin -his body had a pleasing build to it. "I don't care to confine myself in the future to what I may or may not do though I do find it highly unlikely I should bite anyone for any reason." To Jacentus she gave a gentle smile of understanding. "I suspected your beauty was only for females to admire, never have. Do not fear to trouble me." Bob Dobbs *He felt a presence near him but it did not feel like it was Helena. For the moment he tolerated it and remained silent. All he wished to do was listen in for the moment. It was better to remain silent and learn than to open ones mouth and let foolish things spew out. If only he had been allowed to bring even a practive sword. . . . * Kipestshin Thomas choaked a bit on hearing Nim's responce. "aw ssssssugar.... I'm just messsssing with ya." His took a long sip. The tea was nice. "Just you wait though... someone is gonna bite you good and hard, "His eyes twinkled wickedly, "then i bet you won't be shy 'bout it." Steal Jace was glad that someone seemed to understand, but was still not sure what to say or do. He wasn't sure who Thomas was speaking to, so assumed it was the female. Thomas most likely was the kind that liked having girls all around him.
He gave a little smile and fixed his hair, spreading his wings. "Alas.. I don't know why I am here..." Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf The doorway was an uncomfortable spot to hold a conversation. Nimlaurë inclined her head politely to the masked male for whom she still had no name & slithered gracefully yet casually into the main sitting area & finding a comfortable couch to recline upon. She sipped her tea lightly letting her gaze softly examine those present before looking of distantly. "Perhaps."
It was not that she was shy... more that she had yet to find someone to strike her fancy. Not that Nimlaurë was actively looking. For the moment she merely casually admiring beautiful and pretty things whether they be inanimate or animate.
"I take it you are the one called Thomas?" He did not seem temperamental to her. The male on the couch appeared almost... loving.
But the beautiful male's comment intrigued her. "Well, what is it you want, Jacentus?"
And both questions were asked without really looking at those she spoke too. Kipestshin Thomas' smirking face twisted more into a snarl as he stood up. "You" He made direct eye contact with Jace, "are here because my master wishessss to sell you." His lips slightly started to curl.
He looked down to Nim and nodded. "yes." His voice still not quite plesent. Dooma Aderlass flicked his tail and looked at the books on the selfs. He turned his head hearing Jace's words he turned. "You are here becuase it is a nice place and amd it is safe." He turned to watched the starnger his hood covering his eyes. He looked at Thomas and rolled his eyes. Bob Dobbs *Helena drank her tea in silence. Jace was really confusing her and made it sound as if she had said things to him she had not. That kind of behavior did not motivate her to seek further conversation. She knew that Anotsu was in the doorway looking out for her however she did not need his kind of assistance. She could handle matters on her own with a rather ungentlemenly type. She admired the Patience Thomas was exibiting thus far and took note to try and do the same.* Steal Jacentus' comments were all in response to Thomas' words more than anyone else, he had in fact missed any offer of tea, as he was trying to strike up a conversation with one of only two he knew. It was apparent though that Thomas was a ladies man, and as such he was not really welcome to get too close.
He nodded and sighed. Sold.. he didn't want to be sold, he would have to have a talk with this.. master that Thomas spoke of. If he could ever find her. He was not going to be bartered off to the highest bidder.
As his tail started to snap in irritation, his cheeks brightening with color he heard another voice. "Safe? Im not safe being sold. I don't know what any of you are thinking to believe that! I am NOT an item to be sold off." He tossed his hair and crossed his arms over his chest, pride starting to show again. Attitude hot on its heels. Dooma Aderlass rolled his eyes and picked a book then moved back towards the couch to sit on it. He did not know what all the drama was for. Kipestshin "Tough s**t." Thomas killed his tea, "it isn't like you get that choice."
He smiled a sick smile and went to the fridge. Might as well kill a 6 pack. Bob Dobbs *Anotsu broke the silence* fe, all talk no action *To noone in particular, he wasnt pleased how his "sister" was being treated and his temper was getting the best of him. He knew he needed to work on his instict to maul others but he felt he had a good enough reason to speak up for Helena if she wasnt going to. Whoever was clucking and complaining like a chicken would most likely be granted permission to have the aquantance of his fist as he had been forced to leave his weapons at home.* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf An arched brow was all that showed she had indicated the change of the conversation. Nimlaurë nodded calmly at Aderlass but still looked off almost disinterested. "Not all masters are bad you know. The woman who took me into her home is quite... pleasant."
She was starting to see how Thomas could be called temperamental now. Sipping her tea the gold female sighed -she would require a refill soon.
Nimlaurë inclined her antlered head but not her eyes to the masked male who had finally spoken. "And what action would you suggest?" Bob Dobbs *Helena got up and gathered empty tea cups. Taking them into the kitchen where her face burned with mortification. She decided that for the moment she would wash dishes and stay out of Jace's way. He obviously had issues with females or thought himself a Diva. She did not know what it was only that he had made her feel so small as if she were nothing. Steal Jacentus frowned and bristled more. "Tough s**t nothing! I insist upon speaking to this person that intends to sell me. I will not be owned like some simple pet! I at least deserve the right to choose who I am going to be forced to be around!" He curled his fists, long nails cutting into his palms and a deeper flush covering all of his face. He was not amused. "I will kill whoever buys me!" Bob Dobbs *Anotsu responded with a forced even voice though he was not reffering to her in his comment.* If you do nothing to change your circumstances except complain you are more useless than a geisha, less than a penny whore on the street. *He went to Helena and patted her awkwardly on the shoulder, trying to comfort her in a small way. He knew that jace had hurt her. Worse, he was unapolegetic and continued to be an arrogant whiner.* Kipestshin Thomas had ripped into medusa that had offeneded him less. Jace was on a one way track to an impromptu neuter. "Do NOT addressssss my master that way!" He slammed the fridge. "... and if i were you, i would be VERY careful what you demand princesssss..." His eyes were lightning, and lips were curled, barring fangs. Steal To be apologetic for something he wasn't aware he had done, was impossible. He was upset and angry, and also.. frightened. He had been taken from his old life, tossed into this place, and was now told he was going to be sold off to someone.
It also seemed that being mad or upset about it only made things worse. He surely wasn't going to roll over and deal with it, but he didn't know what to do. So many threats and so little option.
Jacentus looked around, his eyes filling with tears or frustration and upset. With a darting gaze he looked for a place to hide, a place to get away from this all.
He felt terribly trapped now. Bob Dobbs *Anotsu slithers out after making sure Helena was ok. He flicked his tongue to get a sense of where this "jace" was. Once he was able to he turned his sightless eyes in his general direction as if daring him to speak again. he folded his arms and just waited.* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Deciding she no longer liked the atmosphere of this conversation Nimlaurë merely nodded. Her gaze flicked over Helena as the other dragon female took the cups. Such pretty gold markings... She contemplated Anotsu's response to her question, finding that she had done just that -chosen to change her circumstances before they were thrust upon her. And she liked that she had chosen, and what it had brought. Dooma Aderlass sighed and not wanting to be a part of this mess desided it was best just to move out side of the shop. He rubed his head and moved up and off of the couch again, returned the book and moved towards the door. Kipestshin Thomas caught sight of Anotsu. "Heya Sparkey... come to join the fun?" He just rolled his eyes at Jace and went back to get his beer.
He grabbed one and looked over at Helena. "Hey... you okay?" *he popped the lid and offered it too her. Bob Dobbs I will ask only once you apologize to Helena. You have no honor and no concept of loyalty. Any relations no doubt shamed by your self indulgent behavior. If you continue to dishonor Helena we will have to settle this some . . . other . . .way. *The bushido in him rose up as he spoke in defense of his "kin"* *Helena took the bottle with slightly shaky hands and thanked him in a low voice. She had never encountered anyone that sour and bitter nor had she ever been spoken to like that. She had not said anything that could have been taken as rude. All she had asked him was if he wanted tea. How could anyone be so offended by tea? she asked herself.* Steal Jace blinked and looked at the other male, his head tilting. "Apologize to who for what? I spoke to no one badly other than Thomas and I have no idea what in the world you are speaking of." He shook his head and turned away. "Im not dealing with you, I have more important things to deal with, like finding this person taht wants to sell me. I will not be parceled off to anyone." Bob Dobbs You accused Helena of. . .what was it? "having an interest in biting you" Does this ring any bells? *Getting closer and closer to this "male" who acted like a demanding female.* I will not be asking you again unless you are ah. . . good with weapons? Kipestshin Thomas snagged another beer with his tail and joined the drinking."hey kid... " his brow furrowed, "don't look so down... its not you." *he took a sip* "... god I almost hope she does show up and straighten him out." Bob Dobbs *Helena leaned against Thomas, taking comfort where she could.* Thank you Thomas, I guess im just not as strong as you or Anotsu. *She smiled meekly and sipped her beer* Steal "I said WHAT?" Jacentus shook his head. "I was responding to a comment that Thomas made about girls biteing and askign the girls if they bite. I said to him tha tI would not want to be bitten by a girl. I did not mean anyone in particular.. I just said.. I.. don't want.. I .. I like males not females!" He flapped his arms a bit, his voice going shrill and panicky. Such a mess today. He just wanted to run away now. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf But she could not stay completely quiet. "Perhaps you will be fortunate to pick your human, Jacentus. I was."
She gave a small sigh. "Haven't you already made that plain?" She spoke softly, not really to anyone in particular -especially since it seemed most if not all had left the sitting room. HOwever her voice did carry. "But you don't have to be attracted to someone to partake of some simple manners & common courtesy." Bob Dobbs Is this a refusal to apologize? *he did not want to be beating around bushes. he wanted a straight answer, not more excuses. He did not care if the medusa was attracted to flying purple monkeys. What he DID care about was some idiot flapping his gums thinking he could say whatever he pleased. Anotsu spat near the feet of the honorless rogue and turned to go back to Helena to check up on her. if he was attacked from behind as cowards often did he had enough experience from being a captive to hear it. He might have been blind but he still knew how to fight if this "Jace" wanted a fight.* Your blood is not worthy of being on my blade. Steal Jace was too baffled. He didn't understand what in the world was going on in this place. Being owned, insulting people he didn't know. Being threatened not once but around three times in less than an hour.
What he did know was that there were not as many chances for friends here as he had been told. In fact, one chance he thought he had, had also threatened him. Thomas was apparently more than a little mad.
He sighed, dropped hsi shoulders and slithered back to his room, wings dragging on the floor. Bob Dobbs *Anotsu approached Helena and waited till she had finished her drink.* Would you like to go home? *Trying as hard as he could to be nice. Helena nodded and took Anotsu's hand much to his surprise. She knew he did not like physical touches but she knew he would tolerate it for her sake as she had a very bad evening. He walked her to the door and left to bring her home. She needed rest now and her room was the very best place for that. Perhaps he might come back to see if anyone was around but then changed his mind. He did not want to see. . . .him. Not yet anyway* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf
Nimlaurë was very surprised to discover most had now left completely, though it hardly showed on her indifferent face. She shook her head almost sadly from side to side, blue hair swaying against her cheeks. She had at least hoped Helena would say goodbye. The female seemed to have some manners at least. She had seemed upset when leaving with the quiet one. Nimlaurë was almost perplexed about the whole evening. Things must have spiraled out of control.
With a sigh she rose to return to the kitchen. Perhaps she would have another cup of tea before going home. Nimlaurë seemed to have forgotten Thomas might still be in there.
She enterred, paying little attention to anything save whether there was any tea remaining in the pot. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf She had another cup of tea, warming her insides for the trip home. Drama was so overrated. If I wanted drama, I would have found a theater of some sort. Her shoulders shrugged ever so slightly at her soft sigh as Nimlaurë placed her cup in the sink & checked that the stove was off. She suspected that Thomas was intoxicated but decided that he would probably be all right. Satisfied with her part in the state of the kitchen she went out into the hall, collected her coat from the closet & carefully donned it before heading outside.
She was most definitely going to relax in her bath as soon as she returned home.

[ 23 ]
It was all blown out of proportion really. Not that it matters much. A shame, for the tea was quite good. Perhaps if Jacentus finds a human to pamper him he will be all right. There was no need for him to raise his voice, nor for Thomas to do so. Though perhaps that was what Mitsume meant of the male being temperamental and he was bound to spout off like that one time or another. It is too bad that it seemed to affect Helena so. She is a cheerful sort. The masked one consoled her. Honorable of him to have come to her defense, though I saw little offense given.
No matter. A good soak and a warm rest will drive all but the barest lingering memory of the evening from my mind.

Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Call it curiosity, but Nimlaurë returned again to the shop. It could be she was simply testing the limits of her bonds with her human "master" though as a master Trelweny seldom acted as such. She had been welcomed home that night like a sister or friend, possibly a child but certainly not a piece of property or a pet. It baffled Nimlaurë slightly. Made her wonder how others were with their keepers. Thomas certainly had jumped to defend his "master" the other night, but he called Kipestshin "master" still.
"How very odd..." She murmured aloud as she removed her coat & hung it in the closet. Nimlaurë was going through the motions with a smooth carefree grace, her eyes as usual never seeming to focus on anything. Bob Dobbs *Anotsu stayed by a window feeling the warmth of the sun filtered through the paned glass. He could never get enough of the sun nor the way it felt on his skin. He had so many thoughts running through his mind. Thoughts of the past that really wouldnt do him any good bringing them up. he was able to be with others and enjoy the light though it seemed to bear more than one meaning now. Lifting a hand to his parted lips he recalled the kiss that him and Viktor had shared. A kiss that burned still and caused a blush to spread over his fine cheekbones. He was glad that his mask would hide the telltale signs of actual emotion. No matter how much he had fought it he feared that he was losing this battle and falling in love. In many ways he still despised himself for this weakness and vowed to be stronger.* Malis Delnaria  Aethelinda opened the door to the shop slowly. She peeked around the wooden frame before making her way inside the warm abode. Looking around she smiled to see a few others like herself and for a moment stayed by the door as if in thought. After making a decision she made her way to a bean bag in the corner. On her way there she knocked over a cup that had been sitting on the table near to her destination. It fell over with a c***k which startled her. Looking around quickly with pink running over her cheeks she replaced it and hoped that she had not disturbed anyone. Reaching the beanbag the dragon coiled around it and breathed a small sigh of relief before glancing around once more. She would wait to see if anyone would come up to greet her before poking her tail into something else. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf The female that passed her in the hall looked oddly familiar. Like Chandre perhaps. Nimlaurë Casually Spotting the masked medusa Nimlaurë made her way to a spot between the two medusae, stopping within a range that would make for comfortable conversation but not to be particularly close to either of them. "Hello." She nodded politely to each, finding a couch to recline upon.
She paused wondering at the hand to his lips. "I don't believe I've properly met either of you. I am Nimlaurë. Bob Dobbs  *Anotsu heard a sound like a cup had fallen or almost fell and turned his head toward the spare bedroom he had been lost in thought in. He slithered out and paused by the door for a few seconds before making a solid decision to come out. He flicked his tongue in and out to taste the air and find out if it was someone he knew. he did not speak just yet but focused more on finding out if someone was here. Turning his sightless head around during this form of "scanning". He heard a regal sounding voice speak a greeting and found the sound very pleasant. From his experience it sounded like a voice from someone with a priviledged upbringing hence the formal edge to the voice. He sensed a second Medusa also. . . . .another female. One who's scent he did not yet recognize. Kagehisa Anotsu *He introduced himself and felt around for a seat so he would be able to sit down. * Dooma Aderlass was outside the shop. And looking around the area surrounding it. He didn't know why but for once in his life he felt like being outside the only home he knew. Everything that had been happening was too much for him, and he felt like he was a burden on Kipestshin and her three Meudsa. He sighed and moved towards a body of water. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf The barest of smiles touched the corner of her lips to have a name to go with the -well, mask- at last. For some reason it bothered Nimlaurë not to know with whom she had spoken or otherwise interacted. "A pleasure to meet you, Kagehisa Anotsu. I hope your day has been pleasant so far." Malis Delnaria Aethelinda turned to see the other female who came up to see her. "Hello, I am pleased to meet you," she uncoiled herself from around the beanbag for a moment before giving the female a hug and kissing each cheek. "I am Aethelinda, how are you this morning?" She noticed the other comming into the room and setteling down, this one was male and wore a mask. She smiled lightly and then made her way over to him. Embrasing him also and giving him a welcoming kiss on both cheeks she then turned back and smiled, "It's so nice to see you both, nice to be here..." She decided to coil around her the beanbag once more and settle herself back down for the moment. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf She coolly & politely returned the female's gesture, herself not quite accustomed to much physical contact but adhering to an inner sense of decorum. "Pleased to meet you, Aethelinda. My day so far has been uneventful but pleasing."
Then her gaze drifted, not quite certain what to do now that the protocol for greetings had been seen to. Nimlaurë did not know if there was royalty, or if there was whether she was part of their caste -but she did appreciate manners & courtesy. Bob Dobbs ( Fanart of Anotsu without his mask) *Anotsu's entire body stiffened at the unwanted embrace. Despite his distaste for such activities he tolerated it for now, including the kiss on the cheek and patted her awkwardly on the head. He was trying to get past the betrayal and these females had nothing to do with that situation. He reminded himself not to take it out on them but to merely sit and observe. In time he could become more successful and gain a few "Social skills"* Malis Delnaria The dragon settled herself down and smiled again, she felt her mind drift slightly before comming back and then blurting out, "So what kind of things do you like doing?" She had been sent to the shop to hopefully learn a better way to hold herself as it was obvious she was a little on the cheerful and blunt side and not one to think about serving before being served. She figited a little with one of her sleves as she looked around again with bright eyes. This shop seemed quite eclectic and Aethelinda decided she liked the feel of the place. Bob Dobbs *Anotsu gave an almost rude uncomfortable moment before replying. He preffered others to talk before he would. It enabled him to learn however he felt inclined to give an answer so as to not portray himself as an a**. He was tired however despite his weariness he would put what he HAD learned to good use.* I like training. Malis Delnaria "Training? In what way?" She wasn't sure she could feel the same way as him. The training she had recieved so far had been sproadic at best in the respect of how much she actually listened. She had the habit of loosing interest and letting her mind wander off elsewhere. And then there was that other bit of training... she shuddered delicatly at the memory and then tucked it back away where it couldn't be found. "You mean like learning how to surve tea and such?" That was something else she never really mastered, she usually knocked something over being quite accident prone. Bob Dobbs Training with various weapons, sharpening the blades, training the four senses. Sound,touch,taste, and spirit. That kind of training. I am especially good *here he smirked* with blind fighting. *His whole life he had known nothing else. Since he had hatched out of an egg his previous master had training him in nothing else but the way of the bushido for underground medusa fighting. It was the perfect way to make money off the backs of those he had enslaved. He had perfect eyesight back then, would thinks have been different if he had not lost?. Anotsu focused on Bob, his current master. He was not cruel at all and he rather liked him. He wasnt bad for a human.* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf What did she like doing? Conversation always seemed to tumble to that at one point or another. Her mind wandered as her light violet eyes looked off distantly. "Tea sounds wonderful."
Nimlaurë stretched slightly and rose from the couch. "Would either of you like some?" She asked lightly as she made her way towards the kitchen. They always had such nice tea blends in this place. "I will be back with some momentarily if you do." Malis Delnaria "Uuuuh... sure that'd be great!" Aethelinda grinned at the other female before turning back. "Trainging with swords? That sounds like much more fun that what I had to learn." Being female and supposidly somewhat 'high birth' she had been given training at towards her station. While she did not have the patience with learning embroidery and tea ceremony she had picked up the basics. She liked the learning to read but the few book she had access too were mostly the 'hero saves the damsel in distress' types and she had much more fun identifying with the hero than the damsel. Bob Dobbs If you would not mind *he said, referring to Nimlaure. He wouldnt mind whatever tea she made. It was his drink of choice.* And what did you have to learn? *He replied,curious as to what her master had been or was training her in. He did not know much about what the others did and wished to gain the valuable knowledge.* Malis Delnaria She waved her hand aimlessly in the air. "Oh I had to learn the normal stuff, sewing, embroidery, table manners, the proper way to serve tea..." She made an expansive gesture towards Nimlaurë as she spoke. "Ummm... I was tought how to sketch and paint, how to read and how to dance." She paused for a moment, "I love to read but I am terrible at dancing. We had to learn it to entertain whomever came in, like guests and such." She made a slight face remembering some of the other things she had to learn to 'entertain' the guests but kept the disgust from showing in her voice. It was obvious to a discernent nagah that she had belonged to a boarding-home like enviroment before she was 'given' to her newer master. Bob Dobbs *Anotsu thought it sounded a lot like a courtesin (splg?) or a geisha. However since he had never actually been in the presence of either he only had what the books had said to go on. He did not pry what other entertainments he had be forced to learn. Basing this on the tone of her voice he surmised it had not been favorable. It was not his right to that privileged information though he was curious. He nodded in approval and replied.* it sounds as if you have been taught a lot, I hope it had not been . . . unpleasant. . . .all that much. *He had started to fall over his words already. He hoped he would not be as clumsy for the rest of the conversation* Kipestshin ( Thomas crawled out of his room with a yawn. Where had the day gone? ... Hruffled his hair and made his way to the bathroom. He could hear talking going on. "meeeeh...." He shut the door and tried to wake up.) Bob Dobbs *Anotsu heard a door close and wondered who it was. There were so many people in the house at any given moment so he was not sure. He got up and went to the window craving the sunlight on his skin once more. He couldnt get enough of the warmth and brightness of it.* PestLone Thomas came out to join the world of the living. He wanted coffee Bad.
He was alost at it when he caught Anotsu in the corner of his eye."oh hey.... morning." Bob Dobbs *Anotsu turned and nodded in Thomas's general direction before continuing to sun himself.* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Nimlaurë half listened to the others as she set the pot with water to boil, waited for it to do so, then allowed the tea to seep sufficiently. The addition of Thomas' voice caught her attention, nothing more. She added a cup to the tray she had readied & carried it out of th kitchen to the sitting area.
Silently Nimlaurë poured tea for everyone, graciously handing the cups around. To a trained eye one could see she was perhaps not trained to the highest levels, but she did well enough. Malis Delnaria Aethelinda shook her head before responding. "It was not that bad but I'd much prefer learning sword fighting like you did." She smiled and then watched as he got up and moved to the sunlight. Giggling lightly to herself she considered joining him other then but then got distracted by the new medusae who wandered into the room. "Well hello!" She got up and slithered over, giving him a hug in greeting and kissing him on both cheeks before releasing him. "It is a pleasure to meet you." Wandering back to her beanbag she accepted the cup of tea and took a sip. Bob Dobbs *He took the cup gratefully from Nimlaure and thanked her. The warmth of the tea felt so good as he sipped the flavorful brew. The combination of the sunlight and the tea made him very relaxed but as he was tired he tried to keep himself somewhat tense if only to stay awake.* Kipestshin Thomas rubbed his eyes. "uh... and hi ladies." *he was so very much not awake. Taking his fresh coffee he went and sat next to Anotsu. In a softer but platonic tone he asked, "... how is Helena doing?" Bob Dobbs Helena is feeling much better today, I appreciate your inquiry. *his respect for Thomas grew at that point because of it.* PestLone Thomas just closed his eyes and relaxed. Letting the coffee aroma surround him, " ... okay." He settled comfortable and suprisingly quiet. Malis Delnaria Tea finished, Aethelinda looked around wondering where everyone had seemed to dissapear off to. The new males medusae seemed to be more interested in chatting with the other male. It didn't sound like they were talking about anything interesting though so she let her mind wander again. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf She had wondered off & on how Helena was doing herself though had not thought to ask Anotsu though the carny dragon female had left with him. Nimlaurë felt a relaxing in her at the masked one's response to Thomas' query... she had not expected to feel relieved over something so small.
She gazed into nowhere, quietly sipping her tea. Something told Nimlaurë that it was too quiet. Perhaps she should strike up a conversation. She exhaled perhaps more audibly than she usually would and turned her face to Aethelinda. "Forgive me, but did you travel with Chandre & the rest of us? I cannot recall." Kipestshin Thomas cracked his neck. "See ya around Sparky, ... ladies..." He slithered off to go take a warm bath. Malis Delnaria Aethelinda nodded, "I fell behind though because of... ummm... unforseen circumstances... so it took me a little longer." She wasn't quite sure she wanted to explain how she had wandered off after some trinket that someone had said granted wishes. She had hoped to wish for a good master, one who wouldn't mind that she 'had not fulfilled the testings to the utmost'. She also wasn't quite sure she wanted to mention that Chandre was her mother and so kept silent on that also. Gamely she changed the subject, "What do you think of the shop, it's pretty interesting hun?" Bob Dobbs *Anotsu goes to set his empty teacup into the sink and prepares to leave. On his way out he passes by a certain door and pauses recognizing that familiar scent. He lingers by it for a moment and reaches out as if to place his hand onto the smooth wood. Turning away he pulled back and continues toward the front door, letting himself out. He would need to be more reserved on these matters. His head should be making decisions, not his heart. The last thing he wanted was to be a burden. He wanted him to be happy with or without him.* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf She nodded & lifted a hand in farewell at Thomas' & Anotsu's departures without looking. Nimlaurë blinked her eyes slowly at the other female's tale. "Yes that would make sense. You are fortunate to have found the way alone." Nimlaurë knew she likely would have, traveling over unknown territory as they had.
"Interesting? Yes. You could say it is that." Her pale violet gaze actually focused on the female for a moment. She certainly reminded her of Chandre in some ways. Maybe the markings or the colorings. Not to mention her way of greeting... a hug and kissing both cheeks.
"Actually, I prefer my new home but I have been cautioned against lethargy." She smirked ever so slightly as if finding some humor in that disclosure. Malis Delnaria "What kept me doesn't really matter, I wasn't on my own when I traveled the way here which was probably a good thing but that can keep for a fireside tail or something..." The dragon waved her arm as if brushing the story away for another day. "My new home is... interesting to say the least. He does have a lot of books though, I do like that." Aethelinda nodded a farewell to the exiting medusae before turning back. "Cautioned against lethargy? I wonder why?" Dooma Aderlass sighed and sat looking across the lake. He sighed letting the tip of his tail dip into the cold water. It was far to quiet out side the shop for him...even though he had been in the shop when no one was around. He had grown acustion to all the sounds of the building and everything. Out side was alittle frightening. But he knew that the resident Medusa would need space every now and then, after all it was thier home not his. He sighed trying to let his mind drift and not run back to the couch and claim it again. It was not his couch it was the shops. He did not see the movement in the water of which he was dipping his tail. Kipestshin Viktor was wearing a fluffy coat and carrying packages from a butcher. He was on his way home when he saw Aderlass. "Adrelass!" he called out enthusiastic, "how are you?" He made his way over to him quickly, trying to not drop packages along the way. "care for some hot coco?" Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "Excuse me. I think I'd like to start heading home now. It has been a pleasure chatting with you, Aethelinda. Perhaps we shall do so again." With a nod of her head Nimlaurë left the couch and slid to the kitchen to take care of the tea things. That done she found her coat & wiggled it on, heading out of the shop.
For one reason or another, the lake caught her attention. The gold dragon medusa female gently pushed a curl of blue hair behind her ear before slithering forward to take a closer look.
She was not expecting to see Aderloss. Or the chipper albino male on his way towards the shop. Nimlaurë paused in her advance, ready to continue on towards her home should it appear the males would prefer to be alone. After all, she could always look at the lake another day and she had been about to go home before it distracted her. Dooma Aderlass blinked and turned, pulling his tail out of the water just as a purple hand tried to grab it, "Hello there Viktor, I did not think I would see you out side. Oh coco would be lovely but I would not want to intrude...I already spend so much time in the company of your shop and you or Mitsume." he laughed, "Though if you would like I would love to help you carry your bags home?"
He then looked past the beautiful pale Medusa and saw the goden skin of the dragon he had met only breifly, "Oh it looks like one of your friends has wandered out as well." he said softly. Then bowed his head in greeting to the female. Kipestshin Viktor smiled. "Oh, please intrude! I just got a fantastic mexican hot coco you have to try!" Dooma Aderlass nods and holds out his hands for the bags, "I have never had Mexican coco...its it much different from regular coco?" He asked.
The figure in the water moved around the shore line. She was not happy that her 'prey' had gotten away. Kipestshin "oh thank you sweety!" He handed a few of the lighter packages to him, "Its a lot like regular coco, but with a most delicious cinnimon flavor!" Bob Dobbs *Helena walked to the door of the shop. She paused momentarily and decided on something different. She went around the side to see what was there. She thought she heard water and grew curious to see it* Dooma Aderlass laughed, "Only for you Viktor." he said softly and took the bags, "I will stay for one cup but I will not stay the night again...though I do love that suede couch." he said moving next to Viktor and facing back to the shop.
The lake would soon be empty and the creature inside the waters really wanted to mess with someone. She would have to lay in wait again untill someone came to the waters. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "Ehh..." She started, not quite certain what to say. She had been leaving. But the sweetness of the scene held its own beauty & Nimlaurë smiled faintly. "All right."
But something troubled her. "Mexican cocoa has cinnamon in it?" Her human would like that. But then Trelweny loved her cocoa; Nearly as much as she liked to over sweeten her tea. Kipestshin Viktor was quite content. "Thank you so much" He opened the door and Let his guests inside. He took the packages and put them in the freezer, and started coco for his friends. ^___^ heart Dooma Aderlass laughed and sat at the table, "Shall I take some to Mitsume and Thomas after you make it dear Viktor?" He smiled helping to put the packages away before having sat. He watched Viktor and the golden dragon.
The lake water had some faint arches in the water as somethign fairly large moved under the water. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Nimlaurë watched the casual banter between the two males off handedly. It was clear to her that Aderlass was more comfortable now than he had been the previous night. But then all things considered that could be expected. She was certainly more comfortable, though it really had not phased her too badly. Of course, few things did.
With muted interest she watched the white one's preparation of the cocoa. Perhaps she could surprise her human with a mug of it another time -possibly in thanks? Her thoughts were diverted to Viktor's long white hair, left loose but still very beautiful. Aderlass' laugh & his use of an endearment found their way into her thoughts. Idly, Nimlaurë smoothed her hair & took her coat back off. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Nimlaurë sipped at her cocoa, letting the flavor roll around in her mouth. Different... It would never surpass tea in her book -still too sweat though it had a pleasing flavor.
Finishing her beverage she smiled and dipped her head. "Thank you for the drink. I think I will be heading home now. Until we meet again." She bowed, donned her coat again, and this time went straight home.

[ 25 ] It was refreshing to share tea & simple conversation today. There's something about the simple pleasures with pleasant company. It is refreshing to have such company. More than makes it worth the cold trip in this weather to visit the shop.
I must confess Viktor's cheerfulness could be a bit... overwhelming, but then again I would rather deal with an overdose someone so honestly kind then the uncomfortableness of drama.
Trelweny did seem to like the idea of Mexican cocoa. Imaging, cinnamon in cocoa. I would not have thought to try it on my own, but then I tend to prefer tea.

[ 26 ] [Of mermaids & secret rooms] page 386Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Nimlaurë arrived at the shop, tending to what was quickly seeming to be her daily routine. Coat put away she went to the kitchen. Blue hair shifted subtly as she shook her head in mild amusement. Trelweny had insisted that Nimlaurë bring some tea back to the shop with her, as much as she had been there. Considering she sometimes made the tea herself the dragon medusa thought this was not too odd of a request. After all, it could not be expected for a shop to constantly provide for the ever visiting "homed" pets.
She set both her parcels on the counter as she started the pot of water to boil. While waiting, Nimlaurë diverted herself with choosing a tea. The simple pound cake her house-sister Ginny had made she left undisturbed on the counter, wrapped in cellophane. Tartara With a flick of the tail the pink female swam around in her little pool. How long ago was she brought here? A few days, though it seemed like years. It seemed that she had come here, gotten asigned to some...human and then never see the female again. Being left all alone. Well, there were the other mermaids that he had created but she stayed clear of them. In the scale of shyness and loneliness, the shy won. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Hearing a splash from another room after the teas had boiled & steeped properly, Nimlaurë took her teacup in hand & went to investigate. She knew of the tub in the bathroom, but this sounded like a much larger or deeper source of water. Nonchalant curiosity she followed the sound.
Opening the door she peered inside. What was this? Fish-humanoids? A green and gold mermaid with red "hair" sang softly to herself cheerfully. Her tail flicked around beneath her, spinning Kaileilani in fluid circles. Not many of the other mermaids seemed to want to play right now. Kai wondered why.
She perked up at the sound of the door opening. Thomas? Tartara She dipped under the surface, spun around, and then swam back to the surface out of boredum. But as she took a breath of air, a soft noise came to her webbed ears. The female swam over to the edge of the pool, pale eyes on the golden figure standing in the doorway. To her knowladge, this was the first time someone actually came in besides Thomas. But...the creature certainly didn't look like thomas. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "I'm sorry... I did not know you were in here." Or even that you were here, her distant gaze seemed to say. Nimlaurë sipped from her tea just inside the doorway. A moment later she caught her slip. "My apologies. Would any of you like some tea?"
Watching them in the water the dragon medusa female wondered if they could even take tea. Fish were not like medusa after all.A person! A medusa, rather! Kai tilted her head curiously, trilling a question without words. Not Thomas, who had moved them here. Who? Who? Would she play?
Suddenly she made a startled noise as something took hold of her tail. Tartara Tea? She tilted her head slightly, curiosity momentarily stopping her fear. What was tea? Mire opened her mouth slightly when a loud splash behind her sounded. Instantly she dipped under the water in reflex. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf All the movement in the mermaids' watery enclosure had Nimlaurë baffled. "I -eh- will be back in a moment with the tea. Perhaps some pound cake as well."
She left as smoothly as she had arrived, not really knowing what to do about her "find" -or even if she was supposed to be in that room at all. Still, they were living creatures. One thing Trelweny had shown her was that all creatures regardless of their intelligence liked to be treated with some degree of courtesy. Tartara Slowly she swam back to the surface, blinking. The creature was gone! Where'd she go? Mire looked about her. And what was that splash? The female lightly frowned. And she STILL didn't know what tea was! Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Nimlaurë returned presently with the pot of tea, some extra cups & a few thin slices of the pound cake she had brought with her all on a tray. Looking around she found a small side-table & set the tray upon it before pouring a cup of tea for the only mermaid who appeared to be paying attention. Her wings were folded lightly against her back as she offered the cup of tea within reach of the pink mermaid's odd hands.
Whether she held mermaids up to a medusa's level or not, Nimlaurë would be polite. Tartara She watched the other cautiously, carefully. The female then quickly darted forwards, taking the cup and immediatly swimming back out of reach with it. Mire looked at the golden creature, the cup, back to the medusa, and then back to the cup. Slowly she mimiced the action she had seen earlier, raising the thing to her lips. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Fine brows arched at the pink mermaid's strange mimicking behavior. The gold & blue dragon medusa could hardly be described as overly sociable but though she was often distant and perhaps even arrogant or haughty Nimlaurë was never shy. With shy folk being less interesting she also had very little dealings or even memories of shy persons -they tended to fall in her range of glossing over more often than not. But no one else seemed to be up and around today. (The cavorting mermaids in the tank she did not count.)
"I am Nimlaurë." She said at length, setting a thin slice of pound cake on ledge within reach of the pool's occupants. Pale violet eyes idly watches the ripple of water & the colors of the mermaids within. Could the creatures speak? Tartara She took a small sip and instantly her face scrunched up. Bitter. The female darted forwards and set down the cup of tea to grab the poundcake, swimming away again. She watched the other curiously and slowly...very slowly, reached up and pointed at herself. "Mire." Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Nimlaurë relaxed. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mire."
She sipped delicately from a fresh cup of tea, looking up over the top of it at the mermaid. "I do not bite."
Of course, once she said that Nimlaurë remembered Thomas' comment the other day and the barest trace of a smile touched her lips where they rested on her teacup. Oh, she had an idea of what the male had been implying. It was simply that as of yet no one had captured her fancy or attention enough that the often haughty gold-loving female was interested in such dalliances. Mermaids, though beautiful, were certainly not to be considered either. Nimlaurë cared for intelligence & manners as much as a physical attraction.
Though she was starting to wonder if she would ever know even a physical attraction. Aloof appreciation of beauty was all that had touched her so far. Tartara The mermaid watched the creature curiously before taking a bite of cake. Slowly she swam towards the golden female, her rosey tail powerfully propelling her forwards. She was a very...quiet thing. Shy and quiet. Even after swimming towards Nimlaure she stayed just out of reach, keeping her pale eyes on the other. Mire was very cautious. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Truthfully, the silence was rather calming to Nimlaurë. For some reason she felt no pressure to strike up conversation, letting herself enjoy the quiet company. She ignored the splashings of the other mermaids, calmly sipping her tea.
As her gaze seldom lingered anywhere for long Nimlaurë little noticed how the pink mermaid watched her. Absently it seemed Nimlaurë spoke aloud. "I wonder what's to be done with you? Sell you, I suspect, if you've not been already. Even we medusa are sold here." Tartara At the mention of being sold, her eyes went down. She understood at least that bit. "Already." Mire murmered, finishing off the treat brought for her. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Nimlaurë nodded absently at the confirmation, blue curls grazing her golden cheeks. "Yes. Having an owner is not such a bad thing. It's not like we can stay in the shop forever, is it?"
She gave a soft, short, hallow laugh finding it amusing that though she had an owner she kept finding herself returning to the shop. Tartara She looked down sorrowfully though, obviously not happy about being owned. Mire certainly hadn't wanted to be sold, and then sold again. Where was her say? The female looked back up slightly at the laugh, swimming up just close enough for her pink hands to gently grip the edge of the pool. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Nimlaurë did not appear to notice the mermaid's reaction, taking another sip of tea before speaking once more. "Having a human to care for oneself is almost like having a family..."
her already distant pale violet eyes glazed. Or in my case a very large family... She thought to herself, knowing she had met only a small fraction of those under Trelweny's care. Whatever had grabbed her tail loosened, and Kaileilani spun around furiously trying to find out what had surprised her. She finally decided she must have gotten tangled in one of the plants.
Her head shot up, catching on one word & splashed cheerfully splashed to the front of the tank. "Family?" She asked eagerly, eyes bright as her golden mask markings. Tartara "family..." She echo'd, her elegant tail swishing smoothly under the surface. And then...a splashy mer appeared. She pushed off of the side of the pool, quickly submerging herself out of shy fear at the new arrival. Just as she was getting used to the golden female too! Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf That Mire went away did not seem to phase Nimlaurë. She arched a brow at the pink mermaid repeating the word & wondered idly if the creature wanted a family.
Then she looked at the green & gold one with a red mane of hair fronds. She was the one who made a noise earlier. The medusa female remembered casually. Her gaze looked the creature up and down. "Your colors are among those my human tends to wear the most often and are likely her favorites. I shall mention you to her if you wish."She pouted as she seemed to scare the pink one of her species away.
Golden eyes blinked assimilating this information. Then Kaikeilani nodded. "Yes. Kaikeilani wishes."Nimlaurë arched a brow. "Your name is Kaileilani?" At the mermaid's nod she smirked softly. "A beautiful name. Trelweny is sure to like it."
Gathering the tea things she left the room. "I shall return with an answer."
The dragon medusa did not stay to see the mermaid's leap of joy as she slithered from the room

[ 27 ]
It appears there is a room with mermaids at the shop for sale. I met two of them, Mira & Kaileilani. The first is a very pleasant pink & shy I believe is the correct word? The second is green, with gold & red much as my mistress Trelweny wears. Both seemed interested in the idea of family, though the pink one already has an owner I told the other I would bespeak Trelweny of her.
I think that shall wait until morning. We will both be up soon enough when the sun rises.

 Mitsume made his way to a grand house. He truly hopped he wasn't pounced by some four ton magical monster as he made his way to the door. He smiled and set down a little Valentine's day gift on the porch. The little white gold pendant charm waited in its box to be found.

[ 29 ] Two little black eyes peeked up out of the white snow to watch the medusa male leave his gift. A tiny nose twitched and the rabbit familiar lightly nudged the pink tipped cait beside him to get her attention. Bright, light blue eyes joined the black then, small green leaf prints on her cheeks showing as her head raised. The little gardener quirked her head curiously, wondering why the being did not knock and enter the home. [to be continued... lost train of thought. sweatdrop ]

Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf A gold & blue dragon medusa leaned lightly against the shop door as she landed before venturing inside. Her wings were tired from trying to carry her weight from the flight, but she could hardly have wanted to slither through the slightly boggy ground where the snows were melting around her home could she? Not when she had wings at her disposal. Patting her blue hair into place, Nimlaurë entered the shop.
It had been a while since she had dared to venture from her suite, much less her home. It was good to be out. The aura of love & romance & coming family in her new family had become almost palpable. Even to the coldly aloof Nimlaurë. She had no such designs.
Or perhaps she did, deep in her heart. Not that she would let anyone see, nor admit such a thing. Which more could be why she felt the need to leave today. Bob Dobbs Helena is fine, I think she needed to rest. She's been so busy taking care of things. *He kept it light and general, Still under the impression Nim had a rank. He considered Helena family despite having no relation in common but he was glad he could depend on her. He could not image not having her around as if she were his real little sister. He drank the last of his drink and set it in front of him where he knew the table would be. Bob came out with some tea for Nim and again, sat down in his seat. He was still worried about Anotsu being sick but hadn't the first clue to Medusa sickness's and this place had lot of books and other information on Medusa in depth.* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Whether or not she had once come from rank no longer mattered. Not that she would tell anyone. However she had been brought up 'proper' and quite enjoyed the practiced graces she had learned. As much as she enjoyed anything. More than that, it gave the golden dragon female something to cling to when all else failed her. "Oh? Is there much Helena must take care of?"
She smiled at Anotsu, still not realizing he was blind, and gracefully accepted the cup of tea from the human when he handed it to her. There was a flicker in her violet eyes as Nimlaurë realized that she did not know the human's name. Trelweny treated her as an equal -not a servant nor a pet. Part of the family or perhaps a sister, but never beneath her. Nimlaurë did not wish to treat others that way either. But she did not quite feel comfortable yet with humans enough to ask for his name so simply said. "Thank you. Tea is perfect." Bob Dobbs *Bob answered after a few minutes of silence.* Helena is excited about a new addition to the house. With all the pets I seem to be getting I could really use the room. She helps me take care of them. . . . .and us. *He smiles and glances to the side a minute.* I hope we arent too much for her, I'd rather she not get sick as well. *Anotsu rises and slowly makes his way to the bathroom, touching the wall every so often so he wouldnt stumble over anything. Bob pours Nim a little more tea and while he is up retrieves Anotsu another mug of it as well. While in the kitchen he opened up a vitemin and sprinkled it in his tea. Despite Anotsu's refusal to take them he knew that it would help speed his recovery. Anotsu had been so tired lately and Bob was concerned he was not eating well enough. Perhaps these would make up for it. He came out of the kitchen with the drinks and smiled politely at Nim. He set down the Tea's and leaned back into the couch.* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf She canted her head to listen to Bob's explanation. Although Nimlaurë was tempted to coment on how her family was quite large as well, & perhaps even that she could do more to help out around the home one thing in particular that was said caught her attention. She waited until Bob returned with the teas. "Sick as well? Who else is ill?"
Then her gaze followed where Anotsu had gone with a cotemplative look about them. "Anotsu?" Bob Dobbs Well my house is in a rather wooded area so maybe we all are a bit under the weather. I have a sore throat so I don't want to pass it to Helena.*Fakes a rough sounding cough knowing Anotsu would kill him if he were more specific. Bob had no idea where all this pride came from but Anotsu tended to have his little quirks and Bob just wanted him to be at ease. Even if the quirks were about silly little details about his condition. Bob didnt think being sick was anything to be ashamed about. So much so he would do whatever he could to help. He knew 'Notsu had a terrible experience so he tried to be just a little extra accomodating. He was no psychiatrist but he tried his best to listen. As his very first Medusa he cared quite a bit for Anotsu.* Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf A finely shaped brow arched slightly at the cough. It was not her place to pry... she was only concerned. "Perhaps you could use some tea too." She motioned for him to stay seated as she rose and headed for the kitchen. "My home is surrounded by woods, and it can get quite cold there. My quarters are plenty warm for me, however. Perhaps why I leave them so infrequently."
Her usually moderate volume of speaking rose a bit as she continued speaking while in the kitchen & automatically lowered to normal as she returned. "The others do not seem to mind the cold as I do, but are very accommodating to my preferences."
Those she had met at least. Nimlaurë knew that was only a fraction of the household. Still, none had voiced a complaint that she was given special treatment or anything of the like & so she decided to judge them on that. With a courtly smile she handed the tea to the human. "I do not know if Anotsu or Helena have mentioned me. I am Nimlaurë."
