first date pt. 2

Surion was finding this a true test of his resolve, "Nani.... this is making... it r-rather difficult" he told her with a broken voice

Tinania continues to watch him, her fingers running along his horns. "Oh I am..." she said this in a sweet seductive voice that she didn't know she could do. She leans in kissing him softly moving closer to his body.

"Yes.." he squeaked his hands almost on auto-pilot running along her sides as she kissed him

Tinania blushes, she could feel that his body wanted her. It was what drove her to want him more. She continue to play with his horns as she bite at his bottom lip. Her other hand caressing his neck. She couldn't help it, she moved one last time so her skin touched his. Her hand moving to run along his side.

Surion purred loudly and moved his head around hers with closed eye and kissed slowly up the side of her neck towards her earlobes, fighting with himself to keep it to kisses and touch as his hands hands rested on her sides

Tinania couldn't help it, she gasp softly feeling his kisses on her neck. She closed her eyes as she felt the flames race though her body. her other hand dug into his hair as she arched her back. Her body seem to have a mind of its own as she moved on his lap again. The one finger that was running along his horns continues its teasing.

Surion growled lightly nibbling gently on her earlobe his hands moving to her shoulder blades holding her close to him

Tinania moans softly and without even thinking, she wrapped her fingers around his horn, her other hand running up his back. She felt like she was on fire, this was all new to her. Its scared her yet excited her at the same time.

Surion's eyes opened and widened his breathing was not regular as his hands moves from her shoulder blades up onto her arms as he continued at her ear and pushed backwards onto the grass his hands on her forearms , this whole movement took very little time his tail running along the outside of one of her legs

Tinania gasp, her eyes widen in surprise. She tried to move "Surion.."

"Yeah.." he asked beside her ear

She breathed slowly placing her hand on his cheek. She didn't say anything, in fact she had a feeling she went too far. Her whole body blushed at she ran her hand though his hair. "I think...we...better..." she closes her eyes trying to not pay any attention the the fact he was very very close to her body and her ears.

Surion pushed up and then sat up shaking his head to clear it "I think I better go cool off" he told her and got up heading back towards the blanket to lose the pants before throwing himself in the lake

Tinania just laid there still breathing hard as she covered her face with her hands. She really really did push him. Her chest rose and fell with each long breath. She cursed herself over and over for not paying attention to her friends and her sister. If she had she would have never even started that. She shook her head cursing herself outloud "Nani, you stupid fool.."

Surion returned shaking the water out of his hair a few minutes later his skin glistened with the water as he pulled his pants back on and looked in her direction

She was still laying there her hands covering her face. She was speaking in a mixture of elven, drow, then back to English "I can't believe I did that.." she ran both hands though her hair as she shook her head then sat up looking down at the grass.

Surion walked over to her and sat down beside her looking at her

Tinania didn't even look at him. She couldn't, licking her bottom lip she gulps hard "I'm sorry Sur. I shouldn't have tease you, I don't know what came over me..."

"It's ok, it stopped before it was too late, they really really are sensitive" he said softly reaching a hand to move her hair behind her ear

Tinania shivered alittle then laughs alittle "I know the feeling. But I broke my promise, I should have just left them alone..." she dug her nails into her palms still not looking at him. "If you hadn't tried to pin me..."

"That was more a pounce.. a light pounce... but a pounce just the same" he said pushing a bang out of his face "It could have been worse, but I'm glad it wasn't, not ready, and certainly there wouldn't have been anything for ... protection should it have gone to far" he said half looking at her half looking at the ground

Tinania winces then lays back down shaking her head "Dear goddess.." she now just realized that. For the first time she looked at him "Surion I truly am sorry..."

Surion looked up at her "You are forgiven Nani, I promise you are, I'll admit it was fun though, rather an enjoyable part sitting together like that, but.... " he realized he was rambling "Nani, this changes nothing about how I feel about you and you are forgiven"

Tinania blushes then sitting up she moved to sit in front of him "Well we know one thing, and that's we know what we like. But now we just gotta learn to control it. So again no touching the ears or horns.." she laces her fingers though his smiling. "Otherwise I have a feeling next time we won't be lucky..."

"Hopefully the next time is in the future... when we're both ready... in the mean time I think I'll bug Torvin"

Tinania nods then looks down at the ground "I think I'm gonna have to talk to my sister, I know she takes something that controls her body..." she looks up at him licking her bottom lip. "Although knowing the fairy in me, the likely hood of it not working is very high.." she already wanted to crawl back into his lap, it was the fact that she was in front of him and the way his was sitting that was stopping her.

"Dad said this morning my brother could help if I needed it, so I'll bug him tomorrow, perhaps we'll find luck somewhere" he said and lifted a hand to her cheek

Tinania smiles then breaths slowly "Until then I'll just have to keep myself in control. With as my sister Nyoka puts it, Will be a pain in the a**.. " she blushes then giggles before moving to sit between his legs, her back to his body as she laid her head on his arm. "I never ever thought I have that happen to tell you the truth.."

Surion wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder "Control can be tough, hopefully we succeed. I didn't either" he said and kissed the side of her cheek

Tinania smiles then looks at him "I'm telling you right now, one day I'll give into those feelings, I'm not going to control it at all.." she brings her hand to rest on his cheek.

Surion purred softly "Bad as it probably sounds, I look forward to that day" he paused "In the future when the time is right"

Tinania blushes then giggles "Sur your so bad..." she kissed his cheek then closes her eyes laying her head on his shoulder.

Surion chuckled "What can I say... it's the truth" he told her softly and stared over the lake

Tinania smiles looking at him as he looked out at the lake. She blushes before whispering softly so only he can hear "I love you..."

Surion's eyes leave the lake landing on her face, he smiled and gently nuzzles the side of her face "Love you too Nani, very very much"

Tinania giggles then moves closer to him "Mmmm, I'm never going to get use to being in your arms. Not for awhile anyways..." she pauses looking down at the ground "It feels like a dream to me..."

"It's kinda like switching places I suppose, after all the time I spent in your arms" he chuckled softly "Did you ever dream of it?" he was curious

Tinania blushes which most likely could have given him the answer "Um..."

Surion chuckled and nuzzled her cheek "You'll have to tell me about it some day"

Tinania blushes then giggles "What was your goddess name? Visha? Well Dear Visha I'm so never going to leave that down am I?" she glances at him from the corner of her eye.

Surion chuckled "The Goddess of my father's people yes, and scarily enough my sister looks alot like her" he looked at her "You may, you may not, we'll see I suppose"

Tinania giggles then kisses his cheek "I'll tell you one day, just not now.." she arches her back moving her wings alittle only to wince.

Surion nodded watching her "Are you ok?" he asked softly seeing her wince

Tinania nods alittle "Just my wings.. once in awhile they hurt, I think its because of this transformation there going though." she turns in his arm to her side so she wasn't laying her wings on his back.

"I hope that goes away for you at some point" he said looking at her wings, he thought they were very pretty and it made him curious what they'd look like after

Tinania looks up at him smiling "Well I know the last transformation is suppose to happen when I hit 20, which is young adult. At least that was what I was told...So I just have to deal.." she moved them again just alittle only to winces "Hey who knows maybe I'll be able to fly when I get older.."

Surion nodded "Would be a much more different feeling to the hover disc" he said picturing her flying and smiling "even floating is different then flying"

Tinania nods "I see my sister fly all the time, she loves doing it. I remember when I was young she use to have three sets of wings on her back. She took me flying with her once. Ever since then I've always wanted to fly. I thought once I got to a teen I be able to. But my wings aren't strong enough." she pause looking at him "But the pain I feel, its almost like my wings are reshaping and growing bones I think." she glances down at his tail running her finger along it.

Surion nodded "I used to ride in mom and dad's arms, but I kinda out-grew that, closest I can get now is floating and using the disc that you let me use. But maybe one day, I just have to severely stress out before it happens" he said purring loudly curling his tail closer to her as she touched it

Tinania looks at him arching a brow "Why would you have to be stressed out before you got your wing?" she was still was running a finger along his tail, watching his eyes and face.

"It's how the Dragonic body is forced into a change, only high amounts of stress can trigger the change, or as you would call it, transformation. ... Nani promise me something ok?" he said

Tinania looks at him nodding "Okay..." she turns again in his arms so she could face him, she laced her fingers though his as she looked at his eyes.

"If it should happen around you, call my dad, please, and fast, I will need his help." he said softly

Tinania nods smiling "Of course, I be on my cell phone so fast if something were to happen to you..." she touches his cheek lightly running a finger along this chin.

Surion smiled softly "I've heard enough stories of what happens I don't desire to be stuck without help. It's hard to say if or when it might but the healing powers I have will fight the change did for my mom, and my sister too" he told her then kissed her finger

Tinania nods smiling "Well when that day comes and if I'm here I will call your father for you.. I wouldn't want you to face that alone..." she leans her forehead against his then shivers. When had it got so cold?

"You cold?" he asked softly feeling her shivers and looking towards the lake feeling the breeze come off the water

Tinania nods "Just alittle..." she pushes her hand though her now dry hair.

"Come on lets go back to the blanket, you can use my shirt to keep warmer if you want" he said softly, he wasn't concerned he had his tank top there

Tinania nods then moves slowly from him "Okay that sounds good.."

Surion stood up after she did and headed towards the blanket smiling softly at her

Tinania laced her hand though his smiling as they walked back to the blanket. She bent down picking her crop top back up before pulling it on. It would help warm her up alittle bit. She looked at him "You sure you won't be cold Sur?"

"I'm sure Nani" he said lifting his shirt and giving it a shake to make sure nothing was caught in it before draping it over her shoulders and grabbing his tank to pulling it on and then his necklace so it didn't get lost

Tinania smiles pulling the shirt close to her body. She watched him smiling, even though she wasn't sure what would happen between them, she had hope that they be together for a long long time. She felt like she was in heaven and she felt safe with him, something she haven't felt in the longest time.

Surion shook his hair out and then looked at him "So Nani, want to stay here or leave or what?" he asked her curiously

Tinania looks at him "Um up to you, I don't care as long as I can curl up to you again really..." she walked up placing her hand on his chest.

"Then why don't we stay right here, cuddle and when it's time watch the moon rise, if we get even cooler we can share the picnic blanket to keep warm" he said stepping closer to her

Tinania nods then wraps her arms around his waist "I would like that very much.."

Surion nodded wrapping his own arms around her and watching her eyes "You are an amazing person Nani" he said softly to her

Tinania blushes then touches his cheek with her finger "As are you Surion. You just make my heart stop every time I'm near you..." she giggles before pulling away to sit down near the tree once more so he had something to lean against.

Surion chuckled and followed her "You could always lean against me and I'll lean against the tree" he said with a playful grin

Tinania nods then smiles "You know the day you get your wings you'll be able to wrap me up in them. Sort of what you do with your tail..." she leans forward so so he could sit behind her.

Surion sat behind her looping his arms around her waist "I would love to, hide you away in my wings"

Tinania giggles then shakes her head "Oh bad thought..." she blushes then smiles leaning back against him.

"I don't think you could put out a bad thought, least not today or right now" he kidded pulling her closer to himself

Tinania smirks then giggles "Oh really...well then you don't want to be inside this mind of mine when your around.." she pokes his nose then smiles laying her head back on his shoulder.

"Why not sounds like there's a party in there" he mused softly nuzzling her temple when it came into reach

Tinania giggles closing her eyes "Yea a party for two maybe. One day though..." she kisses his cheek then nods "One day..."

Surion purred softy looking out towards the lake "Yeah, one day" he said curious exactly what did go through her mind

Tinania looks at him then points to his forehead "So what goes on inside that mind of yours?" she was curious of course. But what girl wouldn't be around him?

"Wondering about your thoughts, thinking about what happened and thinking about the future" he said with a soft smile

Tinania blushes then smiles "Well my thoughts are many, each one with you in them. I'm also thinking about the future, wondering what it would be like..." she turns her head looking at him. "Mostly wondering if we'll still be together..."

"I want us to be, for now, for the future, till the day we pass" he said looking down at her "One of those days when I with I had Beldaran's power" he mused with a chuckle

Tinania giggles then smirks "Oh and why do you want Bel's powers?"

"Cause she can hear people's thoughts" Surion smirked

Tinania blushes then shakes her head "Well be glad, because the thoughts in my mind, would have you blushing.." she kisses his cheek then moves closer against him.

"Who said I would mind blushing when it has to do with you" Surion chuckled

Tinania giggles then shrugs "True. One day I'll tell them to you.." she pauses then closes her eyes "Or maybe I'll just show you.."

Surion quirked a brow as she closes her eyes "Ok"

Laying her head back on his shoulder she smiles "Not now but one day I'll show you what goes on though this mind of mine. Only if you show me also what goes on in yours..." she opens her eyes alittle looking out at the pond. Her wings started bugging again but she didn't want him to know so she kept her eyes partially closed.

"One day" Surion said and moved a hand gently rubbing it on her back the gem partially hidden by his bangs glowing dimly as he shares a lil bit of his healing energy with her. It was more an afterthought from earlier that day but thought it might help her even a lil

Tinania gasp softly leaning forward. She closed her eyes loving his touch on her skin, it was indeed stopping most of the pain for now. She pulled her knees up to her chest then laid her head on her knees. "Mmmm.."

Surion smiled "I'm thinking you like that" he said watching her and still gently rubbing her back

Tinania giggles nodding "Mmm yes I do. This feels great, the pain slowly going away.." she looking at him over her shoulder "I could get use to this you know.. I'm gonna have to do something to return the favor.."

"I don't like seeing you in pain, any kind of pain, if I can help I will, remember that, kinda like that day mom scared you..." he said with a nod

Tinania nods remembering "Yea, you came over to heal my leg. Even then you shocked me how much power you had..." she moves her shoulders alittle trying not to giggle. Yea she had a tickle spot beside her stomach but she wasn't planning on revealing it.

"No, I didn't really, had it been much worse then it was, I would have passed out from doing it, it takes my energy temporarily" He said rubbing gently for a few more minutes before moving his hand away and the gem went out "I know others who have a greater control over it then even mom and that's her twin sister, my aunt" he told her

Tinania smiles "Well to me you had alot of power, even as a child I didn't have much magic, and what magic I did have, I wasn't able to control.." she pause frowning "You don't have to use your magic on me if its going to zap you love.." she blushes surprised at herself for using that word before looking back over the water.

Surion smiled he liked hearing it "Nani, I've learned when to stop, I'll be ok, I promise, and I want you to be ok too"

Tinania looks at him then nods "Promise me if god forbid ever in bad bad shape you won't try to heal me...." she licks her bottom lip, she knows its a promise she shouldn't ask, but she didn't want him to drain himself because of her.

Surion looked at her for a moment then towards the lake thinking "That's a hard promise to take Nani, instinct is to heal, even if it knocks out, " he looks back to her "Especially if love is involved, but if it is that important to you, I will try"

Tinania nods "I know that a hard promise to make, but I don't want us both bad in case were in danger. One is bad enough, and I know you would be able to protect me. Both if were both knocked out its not a good thing." she touched his cheek "I hate having to make you promise that, but I just don't want you to get hurt should something ever happen to me.."

Surion sighed softly and nodded "Yeah, I know" he said looking at her, truth be it if something happened to her by the hands of another someone would have to hold him back from trying to repay the favor

Tinania turns then kisses him softly "Its only a promise if something should ever happen, but I doubt it. So you don't have to worry..." she runs a finger over his cheek.

Surion nodded and smiled pulling her closer desiring more then a simple soft kiss as he pulled her close enough to press his lips against hers

Tinania smiles against his lips before placing her hand on his neck caressing softly. She pressed her body close to his deepening the kiss as she ran the other hand along his stomach slowly almost in a teasing matter.

Surion purred loudly holding her close, he considered himself very lucky even if this was as far as either of them were ready to go. he broke the kiss long enough for air before moving to rejoin it

Tinania was the one who broke the kiss but only for a moment, she looked over his face then whispers "Think we can find someplace comfortable? Not saying we'll do anything but I am curious..." she looked up at his eyes biting her bottom lip.

"I'm sure we could, have any suggestions on the matter?" he asked her looking into her eyes happily, he was happy being anywhere so long as with her

Tinania nods "I know the place...there a old cabin in the forest near the estate, its on a cliff. We turned it into a club house not to long ago. Its go a couch, some chair, a table.." she ran her hand though his hair even as she stood "Just to get out of the cold, because it is slowly, plus we can still watch the moon rise.." she pulls his shirt closer to her body watching him.

"That sounds like a plan to me, I'm guessing you came to Barton on a hover disc?" he asked

Tinania nods "Yea I did, my other hover disc..." she pulled it out of her pocket then smiles touching a few buttons. It grew to its normal size as she bent down gathering everything back into the basket. She closed up her half eaten meal placing it back into the basket then placed his half eaten food back in it also. She picked up the blanket and folded it before standing lifting her arms above her head.

Surion laughed "How bout I take the basket, you take your book" he said handing her the one thing left and reaching for the basket

Tinania nods taking the book, she blushes then bites her bottom lip "Um, I know I quicker way we can get there..."

"Oh?" he asked curiously as he took the basket pulling out the other disc "What's that?"

She walked up to him placing her hand on his cheek as she leaned in she whispers against his ear as she wrapped her other arm around his body "This..." within second there bodies vanished from the lake only to reappear in the cabin.

You could tell it was a girl club, it had magazines, dolls and makeup everyway. The couch hand a huge blanket on it then there was another blanket use to cover up with. She stepped away from him smiling "Sorry about all the girl stuff...."

Surion blinked "Ok that was just about like using the Nether" he mused and then looked around after putting the basket down "Interesting place, and I don't mind the girl stuff"

Tinania smiles then points towards the huge window "Its a perfect view, just below is a beach...me and Celia use to come here all the time. It was the only way we could get rid of Ducan..." she walks over and sits on the couch, it seem to fold around her that how soft it was. "Mmm I forgot how much I missed this place.."

Surion chuckled and followed her sitting beside her on the couch "The place isn't what interests me the most, the occupant is" he said kissing her on the cheek

Tinania giggles before moving to lay on the across the couch, she smiles pulling him close to her trying to get him to lay with her before turning to look out the window. "Me and Celia use to both lay here during the afternoon just talking.."

Surion nodded "and now I'm getting the hint you want me to lay here with you" he said chuckling softly as he followed her lead

Tinania giggles nodding "Yes I do, nothing will happen but I want you to lay here with me..." she curl close to his body causing her ear to be inches from his lips as she looked out the window. "Mmm that better..."

Surion wrapped an arm around her "I couldn't help but agree, much" he said kissing the back of her head and doing his best to avoid her ear regardless how tempting it was

Tinania smiles closing her eyes "Mmm its alot warmer in here anyways also..." she ran her fingers along his hand then giggles "Plus it makes sure I don't tease you.."

Surion laughed "And how is that?" he asked wondering how she could manage to not tease him

Tinania tilts her head to look at him this only casing her ear to move closer towards him "Well sitting there kissing I was trying to make sure I didn't go for your horns again. This way I know I can't..." she turns her head then looks back out the window, a few pieces of hair fell across her cheek.

Surion's eyes crossed a moment as the ear got closer "But I could" he mused softly before looking back outside

Tinania looked back at him arching a brow "How?" yea she didn't know her ear were close to his lip. She brushed the hair from her face before looking back out the window. Watching as some leaves pass by the window because of the breeze.

"I can tell you or show you it's up to you" he said softly watching the breeze and it's cargo

Tinania smiles then shrugs against him "It doesn't matter to me.."

Surion hesitated a moment before moving his head kissing softly the tip of her ear "Like that" he whispered to her

She closed her eyes biting her bottom lip hard. Goosebumps ran up her skin as she tried not to move. It was like at the lake all over again, only this time she was the one not doing the teasing.

Surion rested his head again watching her silently, he was so tempted to do it again but didn't

She fought her body back under control until at last she breathed again opening her eyes "Okay....I forgot how close you were to my ear..." she was blushing, not only the face but her whole body. He skin was warm to the touch. She looked at him then wrinkles her nose "Tease.."

"You are a tease too Nani" he said with a chuckle smiling at her "And you are definitely warm now

Tinania blushes and hides her face the best she could mumbling "Well yea you be too if the most sensitive spot on you was just kissed, that worse then running a finger along my ear.." she used her hands to hide her face because she still knew she was bright red.

Surion moved his hand to gently pull on hers "You are beautiful even when you blush" he told her

Tinania turns a little so she laying flat on her back looking at him "I'm never gonna get tired of you saying that.." she giggling looking up into his eyes.

"And I'm never going to stop saying it, so that's a good thing my beautiful Nani, my love" he said running a finger along the side of her still red face

Tinania smiles tilting her head towards his touch "Your love...I like that also.." she kept looking at him as she ran her hand down his chest slowly. Her own chest rising and falling with each breath.

The sun had slowly begun to set giving off a reddish glow though the open window, casting its glow upon them.

Surion would have looked up if she hadn't had him rather distracted his hand moved over her shoulder till it rested on her side "I think we're missing it" he said quietly without looking away from her

Tinania didn't break his gaze as she nods "I know..." her hand ran along his stomach inches from his pants. She looked his body over before looking back up at him "Maybe we should watch it, unless....." she bit her bottom lip watching his eyes.

"I like what I'm watching right now" he said softly and purring

She smiles closing her eyes giggling alittle before opening them again "Sur...your so silly.." she leans up pressing her lips against his in a soft kiss.

Surion didn't argue, he knew this fact, but he slid his hand higher to her shoulder and returned her kiss happily

Pulling away she giggles looking at him "You know this means that were never gonna be able to keep our hands off each other, and we haven't even done anything serious yet.." she was right even then she had her hand on his neck caressing it. She just had to touch him, she didn't understand why.

The sun had nearly set over the water as the moon slowly rose, it ha darken in the cabin alittle, but thanks to the moon they could still see each other.

"Quite possible, but I don't think I see you complaining about it" he said softly his hand kneading her back gently

Tinania shook her head smiling "Oh I'm not.. not one bit..." she runs her hand slowly down his chest then along his stomach to rest on his pants, right above the button. "Sur...." she wanted him, but she wanted him to tell her not to do this, she knew they couldn't but her body kept screaming out for him.

"Nani... " he said moving his hand to hers looking into her eyes "I don't know that that's safe" he murmured

Tinania nods closing her eyes "I know, but my body screaming for yours, I can't help it.." she pulled her hands away only to hide her face with them. She really needed to come up with a potion to calm her hormones down and quick.

Surion bit his lip "Nani, I feel it too, but, are you truly ready for that, or..?" h wasn't sure what else to ask

She opened her eyes looking at him "Or...?"

"Or is this something we should stop before it gets too far" he said softly

She bite her bottom lip, part of her wanted to see wanted to so badly. So she decide to turn it on him "What do you want....?"

"The Dragon side of me wants to, the other part questions it, after all there are risks" he said a finger traveling down her side lightly

Tinania nods before running her finger along his bottom lip "So what now....?" her skin was still warm to the touch. She looked into eyes biting her bottom lip "Do we..." she really couldn't finish the sentence.

"I think. I'll let you decide, the highest risks, are for you" he said softly his eyes not leaving hers, he could feel her warmth

Tinania leaned up kissing at his shoulder then at his neck "I want you...but I'll wait..." she pulls back touching his cheek "But...it doesn't mean we can get to know each other better..." she ran her hand though his hair smiling.

Surion purred at her kisses "I'll respect that" he said softly "and no it doesn't does it" he murmured enjoying her touch

Tinania smiles leaning up she kisses at his shoulder blade again as she runs both hands along his stomach pulling his shirt up with her slowly movement of her hands against his skin.

Surion purred not wanting to spoil the moment with words, his hands slid around her waist playing with the hem of her crop top

Tinania sits up slowly pushing the shirt up more before pulling it over his head, she leans in kissing at his neck as her hands roam along his stomach. No nothing would happen, not this night. She moved until she was over him, kissing along his stomach and chest as her hands ran up along his side. She was controlling herself no matter how hard that was.

Surion was feeling the touch of her kisses feeling the bits of pleasure it brought he looked towards her slipping his fingers under the hem of her shirt and finding the bikini under it

Tinania looked up at him smiling as she sat up, her hands still running along his bare skin, she watched him almost curious as to what he would do. She licked her dry bottom lip as she stopped moving her hands resting on his tight muscles of his stomach.

Surion took her sitting to some advantage to lift her shirt up and off watching her eyes as he did , one step at a time he thought to himself letting his hands slide down her sides very lightly, he'd seen her in the bikini before, but somehow this felt different

Tinania placed her hands on top of his before leaning in she bite a his bottom lip lightly as she moved her hand down to play with his pants again just to tease him her other hand ran up his body to rest oh his shoulder. She moved to body against his as she moved her hand up to pull at his hair just alittle. She was losing control and yet still holding onto it by a string.

With what he hoped was a calming breath Surion let his hands slide slowly up her torso then over the front of her bikini pausing there to run his fingers over the shape of her chest hidden behind the fabric

Tinania gasps against his lips before pulling away slowly, her hair fell around her face as she looked at him. Her cheeks were flushed as she smiled at him, in his arms she wanted to do things that she taught were bad by the Elven teachers back at her grandmother village. She ran her finger along his necklace slowly still watching him.

It had gotten darker in the cabin now that the sun had fully set and the moon had rose into the sky.

Surion hadn't really noticed the darkness he smiled softly at her he thought about his conversation with his father that morning saying he wasn't as crazy as his brother... but was he... oh well.. a single finger slipped under the strap of the bikini, he was being slow not only to keep in control of himself but to let her time to stop him if she felt the need

Tinania closes her eyes breathing slowly. She felt his fingers near her bikini top, did she let him. She knew if she did there be no turning back. Opening her eyes she looked down at him shaking her head alittle. "Sur......I....can't......" she placed her hand over his, yea she was shaking more from wanting him.

Surion nodded moving his fingers away and turning his hand over under her hand letting his other hand slide down to rest on his belly "Love you Nani, only what you are comfortable" he said moving his fingers between hers and giving her hand a soft squeeze

Tinania smiles laying her body on top on his her head resting on his shoulder, she kissed his neck lightly then nods against his neck "I love you Sur....and the day I give in, that will be a day I never forget.." she looked up at him even as she pulled a blanket over them both. "I wish we didn't have to leave this place..." she laid her head back on his shoulder as she laced her finger with her kissing his hand.

"It'll be be a day neither of us forgets I'm sure..." he said softly "I wish we didn't either, but somehow I am leaning to think our parent's would wonder where we are"

Tinania nods then sits up "Maybe we should head back then, that way I can see you again soon.." she ran her finger lightly over his cheek as she got up off the couch reluctantly. She bent down looking for her crop top off the floor before picking up his hand handing it to him as she pulled her shirt over her head.

Surion sat up taking his tank from her and pulling it on "I'm going to bug my brother I think" he said softly "Go to Kazeha he teaches Alchemy there" he looked up at her smiling she was the best thing that could have happened to him in his mind

Tinania nods "Okay that will give me a chance to catch up on the work I was suppose to do today but decide not to. I'll also look though my books to see if I can find something to control my hormones" she stood running her hand though her hair then looked at him. "Um should I give this back to you.." she held his shirt silk shirt out to him.

"You sure you are going to be warm enough?" he asked her as she held it out to him he was thick skinned enough he wasn't really worried about himself

Tinania shrugs then shakes her head "No, but I don't want you to lose it..."

"Nani I'm not worried about losing a shirt, I have more at home, I am however worried that you might be cold" he pushed himself out of the couch taking it from her only to drape it over her shoulders "I trust you not to lose it, but even if you did, I'm not worried"

Tinania smiles the nods "Okay..." she looks around before picking up her book at the basket. "So shall we go..."

Surion nodded "Yeah, Thankyou Nani, for a wonderful time" he said reaching to brush her bangs out of her face

Tinania closes her eyes as she takes his hand "Your welcome, but you shouldn't have to thank your girlfriend..." she giggles opening her eyes as she walks towards the door.

Surion chuckled "perhaps not but I wanted to" he said fishing out the hover disc from a pocket and following her

Tinania smiles as they stepped out onto into the clearing. It was indeed cold, at least to her. She shivers then giggles "Okay maybe taking your shirt is a good idea..." she turns placing the basket and her book on the ground before wrapping her arms around his waist "I love you Surion."

Surion smiles wrapping his arms around her "I love you Tinania" and kisses her softly

Tinania returns the kiss wrapping her arms around his neck pulling herself closer. Breaking the kiss she smiles before stepping away "I should let you go..."

"And I you, you keep safe, and I'll call you after I get back from my brother's place" he said pulling away slowly and enlargening then stepping on the disc "After you" he said wanting to see her heading home safely before he left

Tinania smiles then pulling the disc from her pocket she clicked a few buttons, Not only did the disc enlarge but it also grew until it was the shape of a rounded rectangle. Leaning down she placed the basket on it then stepped onto it.

Looking back at him she ran her hands though his hair before pulling him close for one more passionate kiss. Pulling away she winked at him "I'll be waiting for you call, I love you Surion and I'll see you soon.." kissing him quickly again she turned and took off into the air heading for home.

Surion purred softly watching her for a moment before heading in the direction of his own home

Visha & the Temple

Up with the sun Surion was puttering on Glitchen in his room, it wasn't unusual, but he was on cloud nine as he worked. He was debating what to do that day, stay home, got to Kazeha to find Vin... He wasn't certain. She'd loved the book and for that he was very glad, and thankfully, he didn't have any 'report' to give his father about events happened... for the kind of 'report' his father wanted, didn't happen

Torvil stuck his head into the room, his face was a mask of what seemed like seriousness, he looked at Surion. "Surion..." He said flatly, with a bit of an edge to it. Perhaps he was mad? His face certainly would attest to that fact, as would his tone. His eyes were a guess at best, darting from one emotion to another so face it was hard to tell WHAT Torvil was feeling by looks alone.

Surion looked up from the screen "Hey dad ... something wrong?" he asks seeing his father's serious expression... one his father rarely wore

Torvil moved into the room and held the frown. "Perhaps..." He said softly and shut the door behind him, making sure it latched shut, but not locked. "I got... A request from your eldest sister yesterday. She wants to have a talk with you, and I agree with her, because it is a very important thing that she wants to talk to you about." He nodded gravely. "Something... very, very important."

Surion turns his chair "A talk with me?" he blinked looking somewhat confused "Okay" what was so important he wondered, important enough to warrant the expression his father wore

Torvil nodded. "Now I want you to listen very, very carefully Surion... Because I'm only going to say this once..." He said. "You are to pack enough food for a day, and go to the cliffs... There, you are to go talk to your sister... She'll explain this to you." He nodded his head. "I have faith that you'll do us proud."

Surion blinks and nods "Okay, understood" he stands from his desk to get ready ... go tot he cliffs, question foremost in his mind was the getting there, pack food for one day, meant he'd be gone two

Torvil nodded and opened the door, slowly taking a step back. He smiled, his face lighting up. "You should feel honored Surion... You're the first one of any of this family to do this..." And without another word, he left Surion to ponder.

Surion stared at his father's departure, his father truly did know how to confuse him. with a shake of his head he dug through his clothing looking for something to wear to the cliffs "Well I guess that's next on my shopping list" he muses finding none that fit. With a shake of his head he wanders tot he kitchen and grabs what food he'd need

There was a loud disturbance down the hall from what had become the "boys' " as Torvil had come to call them, room. And it was only growing louder, and more profane as time went on, but Torvil walked right by the door as if unconcerned.

Surion shook his head and soon was ready to leave "Ok dad I'm ready to head out" he says with the bag of food over a shoulder

Torvil walked by the door again as it was getting louder. He raised one hand as if to tell Surion to hold for a second then stuck his head into the room. There was silence for a few seconds and then Torvil stuck his head out again and shut the door, and the noise again resumed, only muffled by the door. He walked to Surion and nodded. "Alright. Now lets see how we can get you there..." He chuckled and walked with him. "And don't worry, just Devin and Kaji fighting again..."

"Again is right" Surion said with a shake of his head walking alongside his father

Torvil chuckled. "It's over Devin's notebook again... Thankfully I think Kaji hasn't found his knife again... I need to find a better hiding place for it..." He chuckled and reached into his boot, tapping the closed switchblade against Surion's nose. "He'll find it eventually..." he chuckled. "But anyway, lets get you to the cliffs..."

Surion looked at the blade cross-eyed and laughed "Yeah"

Torvil chuckled and reached a clear spot. "I think this will do..." He nodded his head and closed his eyes. "Yeah... I can just nether you there from here... That way we don't have to worry about being bothered..." He chuckled, slipping the blade back into his boot.

Surion nods and closes his eyes "Yeah and faster I'm sure"

Torvil chuckled and touched his shoulder. "Else you'd need more food... It's a LONG walk..." And with that, he entered the nether. It did not take more than a minute for them to arrive at the cliffs, even with the stop over on the other side. Torvil was leery about stopping nowadays... He sensed something in the works... The way the people there were moving horridly belied a tense... even dangerous atmosphere...

Surion was familiar with the feelings of a nether jump and opened his eyes when he knew they had arrived at the cliffs, plus the smells of the cliffs were present as well

Torvil smiled and let go of Surion's shoulder. "I would guess by now you know the way to your sister's from here..." He chuckled, pointing at the symbol on the rock they stood next to, the sigil of Visha.

Surion smiled "Yes, I do dad, thanks" he turns and heads through the trees along the path heading for his sister's cave

Torvil smiled and nodded, nethering away. Finding Vina would not be hard, once the cave came into view he would find her outside, hanging up laundry, linens mostly, and humming softly to herself as her wings flapped. She seemed quite occupied in her work.

Surion walks out of the trees and watches his sister for a moment before walking up beside her with the silent step of a hunter

"Yes Surion?" She asked with a smile as she hug up another sheet. "I've had... Oh... seven children now, and three out of them were troublemakers... And I'm a mother, so don't think sneaking works on me..." She turned and smiled at him, opening her arms. "Give me a hug." She smiled, her eyes sparkling.

Surion laughs "Who said I was sneaking, I wouldn't have stood beside you if I was" he grins and puts his bag down giving his sister a hug

She smiled and pulled back after the hug and patted his cheek. "Well my, my... You've grown into quite the strapping young man Surion... You must have to beat ladies off with a stick..."

Surion laughs and shakes his head "Nah, not yet, not many have seen me since I've grown yet either though"

She laughed and winked. "Watch yourself... You might just find yourself mated if you're not careful..." She giggled and patted his cheek. "But really now... I think I should start getting serious, and tell you why I asked you to come and haven't really explained a thing now haven't I?"

"No you haven't, and neither has dad" he says stepping back waiting

Vina nodded. "I asked him not to..." She took a deep breath and smiled. "Well... Here goes." She stood up straighter, a bit more formal stance. Her face became much more serious. "Ryosuken has asked that you..." Her eyes brightened all the more. "Be put down as a possible priest of Visha..."

Surion stares at his sister in disbelief before finding his voice "Me?" he blinks "Wow.. that's not what I was expecting at all"

Visha smiled. "He, requested himself, personally... TO ME!" she seemed to jump up and down with excitement. "I was quite taken aback myself.

Surion chuckles "I suppose we should get this show on the road them"

Vina nodded and smiled. "I can't take you, you have to go to the temple yourself, and talk to him... But from there... Well, we'll see!" She smiled and gave him another hug. "Good luck!"

Surion nods "Thanks Vina" he replies and gathers up his bag heading back into the trees in the direction of the temple

The paths were strangely free of people, there didn't seem to be a soul milling about the pathways to the temple, or anywhere else for that matter, it seemed strangely quiet at the cliffs, almost like everyone was in deep reflection.

Surion didn't really pay any heed and soon was stepping into the doorway of the temple, he looked around, it seemed as familiar as always

The priest were milling about as usual, not doing much of anything.

Surion smiles and walks in stopping in front of a familiar statue and looking up at it

"I see you finally made it..." said one of the priests as he walked over, pulling his hood down to reveal his rather youthful face. "You are Surion correct?"

Surion turns in the direction of the voice and nods "Yes, I am" he confirms

"Ryosuken..." The High Priest extended his hand. "I've only heard good things about you." He smiled and nodded.

Surion smiles putting down his bag taking the extended hand "Thanks, I presume that's a good thing" he chuckles

Ryosuken laughed. "I would hope so, else I would not have asked that you be placed on the roster..." He patted the boys back. "I do see the family resemblance..."

Surion chuckles "Mum says I'm looking more like dad" he admits pushing a lock of hair over his ear

Ryosuken chuckled and nodded. "That would be the reason, I was talking about your aunt..." He chuckled and nodded his head.

Surion smiles, he has more aunts that he could shake a fist at and so did not presume as to which one

Ryosuken smiled. "Come... Lets head back to my office and discuss what this all entails, I'm sure you're as excited as I am..." He chuckled. "Oddly, considering your line descended directly from Visha, none of them have ever joined the temple."

"Didn't mum do something with you guys while we were staying here when I was younger?" he asks curiously

He chuckled. "We had... a discussion of sorts... If you're talking about the healers... They aren't exactly part of the church... but many priests are part of them..."

"Ahh ok, well I guess we aren't getting much done just standing here" he says "Lead the way"

Ryosuken chuckled and headed towards the back of the temple, moving on into his office, which was the one farthest back. He sat down at his desk and looked to Surion. "Please, have a seat..."

Surion nods and sits down beginning to get rather curious what was in store for him that day

Ryosuken smiled. "Now, I'm sure you're wondering what the priesthood entails, that's usually the first question of our hopefuls, so I'll answer it." He smiled. "You will be well, closer to Visha than most other of our people, and you will be responsible for the spiritual upbringing and laws of our people." He nodded his head. "We have very few rules for our priests... Which has led to some trouble, but nothing worth noting right now..." He chuckled.

Surion nods as he's told all this, deciding staying silent would likely be the best course of action for the time being

Ryosuken smiled. "Of course... In order to do this... You're going to have to get connected to Visha... Did you bring your days worth of food with you?"

"Yes, I did" he motions the bag by his feet

"Good." He smiled softly and nodded. "You'll need to go down the ramp I'm afraid, and head east, until you reach a ruined shrine... Then well... You've got to make that food last as long as you need to... or hunt your own... Till Visha feels you're ready..."

"You state hunt my own, if I need to do that am I to use my bare hands or can I take my spear" he did not want to be presumptuous, but at the same time he wanted to be prepared just in case

"A Knife..." Ryosuken chuckled. "I apologize, sometimes we do get hunters into our fold... It's rare but it does happen at times..." He chuckled. "But yes, you can stop by the lodge and get a blade."

Surion smiled he was relieved it wasn't bare hands "Thankyou I shall, just in case"

Ryosuken nodded, and stood. "Well, I think that is all that I need to tell you right now. And the faster you do this the faster it shall be over..." He grinned.

Surion nods getting up "Thankyou" he says scooping up his bag at the same time before heading out of the room he took a deep breath and headed for the lodge to get himself a blade

There were a few more people out and about, but most did not pay attention to him, instead, they kept to themselves, something was not quite right...

Surion noted this and sighed, he walks into the lodge , he put his bag down as his fingers of one hand ran over a familiar pelt, at the same time he reached for a blade

There was silence in the lodge, save for the usual sounds of small chatting and footfalls, it was almost empty it seemed... Just what was going on?

It felt odd to the teen, but then he hadn't been there in a while so he did not know what was going on just then, tucking a blade into his belt he left and wandered through the cliffs, he 'ignored' them about as much as they did to him. He soon stood at the top of the ramp, he took a deep breath and walked down it his ears and eyes alert for movement as he turned east to go locate the ruins

The walk he would find oddly peaceful, in fact, the grass in the area was dying, or dead, and it seemed that decay and death had seized the area in a tight grip, choking the life slowly from the land. There were quite a few rotted carcasses and bones scattered about.

"Weird weird and more weird" he mumbles to himself but soon puts those thoughts aside as he located the ruins and enters the old shrine

The old shrine looked to be crumbling and falling apart, like a sneeze would knock it over. But nonetheless it still held some of its regality, some of it's power as a religious center.

Surion puts his bag on a nearby surface and looks around it wouldn't be the first time someone had been somewhat vague to him what he was supposed to do, so he was patient "As instructed I have come to this place, and here I shall remain until my lady Visha tells me otherwise" he says softly aloud and sits down

"Good..." Visha said leaning on one of the door pillars. "Cause I think some time here to talk will do you some good..." She smiled. "How have you been? You've grown..."

Surion turns his head and smiles "I have been well overall, thanks. Yeah, not just the child as I was last I saw you" he says

Visha smiled. "A strong strapping young man... Your remind me of my Mate..." She giggled and walked over to him and sat. "So Surion, how have you been?"

"And I mean details..." She giggled. "Not just a wishy answer like before.

"I have had my ups and down, when I was younger the woman I love was dating someone else, that kinda was a down time for me, then hurting a friend who I found liked me in the same way as I like the woman I love.. but things did get better, and now my love and I are going out together, she didn't stay with the other male"

Visha nodded. "Ah, the trials of love and relationships..." She nodded her head. "Such a time... Sadly I never got to enjoy it..." She waved her hand. "But no matter..." she smiled. "You are happy and that's what counts. How is it at home these days, your parent's behaving?"

Surion chuckles "As much as behaving permits I suppose, Dad is addicted to taking things apart, mom puts up with it"

Visha laughed. "Well at least he's behaving..." Visha laughed softly. "And you, will you continue your fathers' line?"

"When the time is right I will, I do want a clutch of my own, but the woman I've chosen that I wish to have as my mate is not of the Dragonic line I don't want to push her into something she may not yet be ready for" he tells her

Visha nodded. "You have fulfilled my wish, much more than your father has..." She smiled and nodded. "I wanted the blood of my children to spread outward, not stagnate..."

"Stagnate?" he asks curiously unsure exactly what she means

"I don't want the blood of our people to just stay in the cliffs, they'll grow weaker and weaker, slowly until the race can no longer survive..."

"But... neither Vina's mom nor mine are from here to begin with" Visha's words confused him

She smiled. "That's why I'm happy for you..." She said with a smile. "Because you're the result of what I had planned for them all along... It's just a matter of time before the Cliffs expand outwards... I just hope it's soon..."

Surion nods now understanding "Yes, I suppose it's a waiting game more then anything"

Visha nodded and smiled. "Sadly... Yes." She waved her hand. "But regardless, you are something that I am very, very proud of..."

"Thankyou" Surion says blushing slightly

Visha smiled and nodded her head. "You know, you remind me a lot of your elder descendant..."

"Vina?" he asks curiously

"No, your nth to the nth paternal grandfather..." She smiled and brushed her hair. "He looked a lot like you..." She giggled. "kind of why I mated with him... if you get my meaning..."

Surion blushed even brighter then before not able to look at Visha

Visha laughed softly and then collapsed into giggles. "Regardless..." She waved her hand. "This really was somewhat of an excuse to see you... But I really do have plans for you Surion... You're important to me...

"Plans for me?" he asks pulling the topic away from his looks and who he reminded her of

Visha smiled. "you of course, just as much as your father had a mission as do you Surion..." She nodded her head. "Your father opened the door to the cliffs... I want you to keep it open... or even better... Widen the door..."

Surion nods listening to her words, to what she wanted him to do

"And... I want you to keep that going for as long as you can... You are one representative of the cliffs, as will be your children I hope..." She smiled.

"My children will be raised with the same kinds of knowledge as I have yes" He nods

Visha smiled. "That is good... I am glad..." She brushed her hair and giggled. "Really, you didn't have to come here... you're more connected to me than even Ryosuken..." She smiled. "But... I will not grant my Avatar to you... Because that is not your burden to bear..."

Surion nods rather thankful in fact that it wasn't his to bear

Visha nodded and leaned back. "Ryosuken will fill you in on all that you need to know... But, you are special..."

Surion smiles "Thanks... you know you got quite the reaction at my first hunt... especially when you came back a second time" he muses the memory surfacing when she tells him he's special

Visha giggled. "Yeah, that was an whoopsy on my part..." She grinned and shook her head. "But yes, you are special, you are one of the chosen." She smiled. "There are a few others... but you I think, will bring about the most change..."

"Change in the sense of bringing new bloodlines to the cliffs?" he asks curiously

Visha grinned. "Aye... and a few things else as well..." She gave him a wink and a smile. "But yes... You will definitely bring in a new bloodline I think, if your mate to be has no dragon blood at all..." She sighed and leaned back more. "That's what we really need..."

"She doesn't she has human and fairy blood in her, and I'd have to say she's one of the most special people I've ever had the privilege to know outside the cliffs. She's known me since I was born" he smiles thinking of Nani

Visha grinned and leaned forward. "I know that look..." She giggled. "I get that look thinking of my mate..." She grinned and winked at Surion. "You are a lucky boy..."

Surion blushes slightly "Yeah I was thinking of Nani, I went on my first true date with her yesterday... it felt so right" he looks towards her

Visha smiled. "You are quite lucky indeed." She nodded her head. "It's nice to know you've been well since I last saw you

Surion smiles "Thanks, you know you are allowed in my mind to pop up now and then when you can sneak a visit in" he chuckles

Visha smiled but sighed. "Only at your house, or anywhere my visage is..." She said waving her hand. "Technically I'm not allowed here... But it's in my sphere of influence so I'm fine..." She grumbled. "It's hard to find time to see you tho... Seeing as I'm watched like a bloody hawk by daddy..."

"Okay, just saying is all, it's nice to have somebody to talk to once in a while who isn't directly related to me...like my parents and grandparents" he smiles

Visha giggled. "Yeah I know the feeling... My conversations with my family are rarely exciting... 'who shall we raze and pillage and woe today' that sort of thing..." She grumbled.

Surion laughs "Well mine aren't quite that exciting, but I do find you easy to talk to"

Visha grinned. "Well of course you do!" She laughed and leaned forward. "I am your religious leader after all..."

"Maybe so, but I think you are also a friend too" he tells her with as much of a grin as she wore

Visha smiled and sat down on the floor. "well of course you silly! I didn't think that really needed to be said, it was kinda understood..." She giggled.

Surion laughs "very true, very true"

Visha leaned her head back against the old alter and smiled. "You know, I haven't had this much of a nice conversation since the last time my mate and I..." She blushed a bit and laughed. "Never mind.

Surion's eyes widened for a moment, he certainly did not need to know that. He looks at the alter above her trying to avoid comment on it

Visha giggled and looked right at him. "What?" She smiled. "You're an adult, I think you could handle it, what of you and yours?"

"Me and mine?" he looks at her "Nani?"

Visha nodded. "Yes, Nani... What of you and her... haven't you..."

"Mated?" he blushes brightly and shakes his head "No, not yet"

Visha laughed. "What's taking you? From the look in your eyes she must be one heck of a woman..."

"She is Visha, and that's why I haven't, she's not ready to do that, and part of me isn't either, so I am respecting that wait, I know it'll be some day, but I am letting her tell me when she is ready" Surion tries to explain

Visha nodded her head and smiled. "That is very noble of you Surion, and I am very proud..." She grinned. "And I am very sure it will be well worth the wait..."

"I've waited this long to just go out with her, I can wait some more, I love her and I don't want her to feel rushed or pushed into anything..." Surion sighs

Visha nodded. "As I said, you are quite noble Surion, and that makes me proud." Visha stretched and sighed. "I must be getting back. You can either rest here or return, up to you..."

"Thankyou Visha, and I hope to see you again soon... under good circumstances of course" he smiles and stands up

Visha nodded. "Of course..." She smiled and bowed, and as quickly as she had come she was gone.

Surion stayed at the ruins long enough to eat and then headed back still not sure what to make of the plains as he headed up the ramp wandering towards the lodge to take the knife back to it

The lodge was still quiet, and there were a few number of hunters there, many were on edge... Something WAS truly amiss...

Surion stopped and looked at them "Hey why is it so quiet around here" he finally spoke up

One of the hunters jumped and then turned, his frown was creasing his face badly. "Two emissaries from the Draco-Ravens arrived yesterday..."

"And that's cause for silence?" Surion wasn't entirely certain who the Draco-Ravens were

"Considering they asked for an alliance yes..." the Hunter frowned then blinked. "OH! It's you... you must not know..." He frowned. "You've grown, I didn't recognize you..." He bowed his head. "Draco-Ravens were once our enemies, we made a peace-treaty with them, by offering our most horrible offenders to them to consume... Now they want an alliance... Nobody's quite sure if not to trust them..."

Surion frowned "Seems like they are taking first step... I hope for the cliffs' sake they are being honest then" he pulled the knife from his belt "Yeah I grew, Not a kid anymore"

The hunter smiled and patted his shoulder. "You're more a man now, and I'm honored to have spoken to you..." He said with a nod. "I hope they speak true as well... I fear what it means if they are not..."

"Hopefully that is something we never have to discover" he sighed and turned heading for the room where he would return the blade

The hunter nodded, and as Surion left he too made his own way

Surion frowned pondering what had been told, he'd have to let his parents know when he went home, in the mean time, he needed to return to see the priest and he headed out deciding to detour just a tiny so that he walked through the market

The Market was quiet as well, and it was obvious why. Two strangers were leering at everyone, they had feathers in their hair and coming from their arms. They looked very... shifty, and they were harassing anyone in sight.

Surion ignored them for the most part, peering at goods and other Dragonics as he walked slowly through, it was so quiet he had a feeling he may not even run into anyone he knew

That however would have been a very hard thing to do... as for running into someone... It was actually quite the opposite. "UHMPH..." A woman grunted bumping hard into Surion. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't... SURION?!"

Surion caught his footing and turned his head to look at whomever it was who bumped into him "Woah... Yeah..." he replied to both at once

"Surion..." The woman giggled and then bit her lip. "Gods... You grew up nice..." She blushed and brushed her hair weakly. "You don't remember me do you..." She said with a weak smile.

Surion looked her over for a time "Kaila?" he questions after thinking about it

She giggled weakly. "Yeah..." She blushed. "Damn... I should have waited... My mate ain't anywhere near as lovely as you are..."

Surion blushes at her complement "Thanks... I think" his tail moves lazily around his leg as he speaks

She smiled softly and brushed her hair a bit more. "Yeah..." She blushed and fidgeted. "I'm up to my hips in kids... And to think they coulda looked like you... WOW..." She giggled weakly.

Surion laughs "You were already hooked up before I even left the cliffs as a kid after my hunt" he says pushing his bangs out of his eye

She laughed. "And if I'd of waited a little bit I would have gotten the chance to see this... WOW...." She giggled. "Well seen this and possible had it..."

Surion blushes "Maybe... maybe not, depended on what may have happened back home"

She nodded and smiled weakly. "That's true..." She said and brushed her hair again. "Oh! Stay away from those two over there..." She motioned at the Ravens. "They're asses..."

"I noticed, and I'm not really heading in their direction, rather I'm heading for the temple, if I run into them it'll be their doing not mine" he narrows his eyes for a moment towards the pair

She nodded. "At anyrate... I DO need to get home... I came down to get some dinner..." She giggled, and leaned down and kissed his forehead. "Have a good visit Surion, I wish you the best..." And with that, she scampered off.

Surion watched her leave and headed through the market once more heading for the temple

The Raven's started to come towards him, not watching him at all, but heading in his direction through the crowd harassing and making a riot.

Surion had no intensions of being in the raven's way when it got close and kept moving

They missed him by several feet, and they did not harass him at all, cause they did not spot him.

"The joys of being shorter then the average Dragonic" he whispers to himself and hurries off soon walking into the temple again

Ryosuken was nowhere to be seen, and a few of the other priests were staring at him in awe.

Surion put his bag down near the door "Hello" he greets them as none of them had paid him any heed the first time he had entered

They waved and a few returned the Hello, one ran off to go fetch Ryo, like something was amiss.

Surion smiled and walked to the pool of water and looked into it, in his eyes the fountain was running a little low, his eyes turning emerald green he fixed it while he waited for the high priest

Ryosuken returned quickly with the other priest. "I must say, I am very impressed..." He chuckled softly. "No one has ever made contact that fast with her before..."

Surion turns towards him his eyes returning to normal "It isn't the first time I've seen her, so I suppose that might have helped... I don't know" he did not tell the priest that Visha had seemed to be waiting for him

"I see," He chuckled. "Considering you're a blood descendant I shouldn't be surprised... come..." He smiled. "I will begin to teach you what you need to know..."

Surion nods and turns to follow the priest after one last glance at the now smooth-running fountain

The Priest smiled. "And thank you... We've had trouble with it..." He chuckled and led him into what looked like a library full of scrolls and books.

"Hey if I remember right mum made it, so why shouldn't I help" he chuckles and looks around at the books as they enter

"True, true..." He bowed his head. "This is the temple library... Here is the stored knowledge of the Dragons... Sadly... most of our number... can't read..." He chuckled weakly. "An order by the council no less..."

"Oh dear, I suppose it's up to others to teach them then" he muses

"Only the council can mandate someone to learn to read... Otherwise..." He winced. "Not pretty..." He frowned. "I hope to change that someday... but religious members aren't allowed on the council, it's completely secular..."

"I meant teach them the information contained within the books and scrolls" he says

Ryosuken turned and laughed for a moment, then frowned. "Why do you think the council doesn't want them to read in the first place... Only the Priest and the council can read these..." He frowned. "Because they are of our past... and they talk about the freedom we used to have..."

"Hopefully a freedom that may one day come to these people once more..." he says "My father opened the door, and by Visha I am to open it wider"

The Priest smiled. "That's a good thing to hear..." He murmured softly. "I just hope we don't go through what we did against that formed the council..." He frowned and walked along. "What do you know of the statues?"

Sur shook his head "Not much as yet"

Ryosuken nodded and took a deep breath. He went into the history of the statues, how the first was made by Visha's made, and how they were her source of power. She could be wherever the statues were, because they were where her people were... He went on to explain why they covered them up, because Visha could see through them, and how she needed only see what happened on her birthday, she did not care what else. He went on into the explanation of kissing the statue, how it was a sign of love and respect.

Surion listened intently what he was being told, nodding in all appropriate places

Ryosuken slowly silenced. "That's about it really..." He chuckled. "Lets get you suited for your robe..." He smiled.

Surion blinked "Okay.." he looked down at his jeans and shirt then back to ryosuken

Ryosuken chuckled. "Well erm... Just follow me..." He smiled and walked along the halls towards what looked like a tailors.

Surion stuck his hands in his pockets and followed the priest thinking about everything that happened that day as he walked

Ryosuken stopped in front of a screen. "Strip down..." he said with a smile.

Surion nodded and then took a deep breath, last time he'd stripped down in front of anyone had been his hunt, and he was a might bit younger then. He did as he was told avoiding the looks, his concentration in the back of his mind faltering a tiny on scars as he did

A woman came out from behind the screen with a tape measurer. "Okay... Now... Lesse..." She started to measure him as if it were nothing.

Surion didn't move the tips of his ears were quite red though. and he shifted concentration to hide the few scars that had shown once more

She ignored his nervousness, even as her hands started to reach areas that were dangerous. "He'll need a Size 17..." She murmured.

Surion was blushing rather brightly just willing it all to be over

"All done..." She smiled and patted his cheek. "Such a cute boy..." She grinned and then walked back behind the screen returning with an off-white robe.

Surion could not find his voice, not at all... he eyes trailed after her and then back

She handed the robe to him and patted his cheek again, and then walked back behind the screen, the sounds of whispered gossip being heard.

"Thankyou" he squeaked out holding the robe against himself as she disappeared then looked at it

"Well, just put it on..." Ryosuken chuckled. "We all get to go through that..." He laughed.

Surion nodded and rather hurriedly put it on desiring not to be nude anymore

Ryosuken chuckled and nudged him. "Who knows, you might be a legend..."

"A legend? why?" he looks up at the priest blinking

He chuckled. "The way she was smiling..." He winked. "I've only seen one or two other instances of that..." He grinned.

"Oh help... I do have someone in my life..." he blushes once more

Ryosuken chuckled. "Doesn't mean she didn't want to look... She's got a mate too..." He chuckled and walked out of the room. "Come along..."

Surion grabbed his clothing and wound them in a ball following after the priest "Okay"

He smiled and walked out back to the hall, down it to what looked like Dorms. "I would request that you stay here the night, and you can leave on the morrow... You have free time till then, unless you are summoned..."

Surion nods "Okay" he replies looking around the dorms

"You may rest, you may eat, or you may read, the choice is up to you..." And with that, Ryosuken bowed out and left Surion be.

Surion nods, he spies his bag has been moved there and picks it up and finds a place to sit down and eat some more of the food he had brought with him

There was quiet in the dorm, it seems most of the priests were still about their duties, and the few that were here were quite sound asleep.

Surion got bored and eventually fell asleep where he sat

Before the sun rose, Ryosuken was poking Surion in the arm. "Wake up man, wake up!"

Surion opened his eyes and sat up straight "I'm awake I'm awake" he says and rubs his eyes

Ryosuken chuckled and dropped Surion's bag back in his lap. "You'd best be awake and start walking boy..." He chuckled. "Your sister told me how far away it is you live..."

"Oh yeah, not close" he admits and gets up stretching "Not close at all..."

Ryosuken smiled. "So I've heard..." He chuckled.

Surion nods and gathers his pile of clothing and his coat "Thanks for teaching me" he says pushing he clothing into the now empty bag , well all but his coat, he planned on putting that much on after he left the cliffs

Ryosuken smiled and nodded. "T'was a pleasure. Have a safe trip..." Ryosuken bowed and headed out of the room.

Surion nods and finds his way out of the temple and through the village heading for the way out of the cliffs, he most certainly had no intention of /walking/ home but he'd wait until he was out of the cliffs first

He met little to no opposition or people, in fact the ravens seemed to be scarce.

Surion gave one final look and headed down out of the cliffs and once far enough away pulled on his coat and dug into a zippered pocket pulling out the miniature hover disc that he always left in the coat, grew it and hit the air. It took him a lil more then a by wing flight to finally be stepping off the disc at home, he would be an interesting sight as he stepped off the disc, windswept hair off white robe and black complex jacket

When he got home, he would find his father sitting on the couch, prying apart YET another appliance.

Surion stands in the door of the living room shrinking the disc to put it away "Hey dad" he chuckles "What are you yanking apart this time"

"Coffee pot..." He chuckled and waved. "Nice robe..." He said as he looked up. "You do me proud son..."

Surion laughs putting the bag down and stuffing the disc in his pocket "Thanks dad... You must have taken nearly everything in that kitchen apart by now" he says walking closer

He chuckled. "Most likely..." He chuckled softly. Slowly putting the screwdriver down.

"The Draco-Ravens came to the cliffs dad" he says unsure if his dad knew

Torvil frowned. "That's not good... Vina muttered something bad was in the works but wouldn't clarify..."

"According to one of the hunters they want an alliance with the cliffs" Surion elaborated

Torvil frowned. "That's never good. They're not very trustworthy at all..." He grumbled.

"Thats the concern I heard and they were harassing people in the market, there was only a couple of them there but still, it seems it was enough to clear the walkways of most of the normal hustle and bustle and make things very quiet there" Surion nods

Torvil nodded. "They're tenacious fighters... They don't go down without taking someone with them... and those two have diplomatic immunity."

Surion nods "Yeah, well one way or the other, I suppose we need to keep our ears open for word" he says, he had begun to take his responsibilities as a hunter even more serious as he aged

Torvil nodded. "I'm waiting and watching, I hope we don't get the call... But I will be ready when the time comes..." He grumbled. "I think... I'm going to head to bed now..." He mumbled.

Surion nods "Yeah me too, I been traveling all day and I'm gonna grab food and disappear into my room... laters dad" he turns and grabs his bag and disappears from the room

Torvil waved. "Have a good Night SURION!"

Old Aquaintances

Malcolm came down the stairs of the shoppe, in his pajamas. He got breakfast from the kitchen and curled up on one of the couches near the fire.

Surion sighed and wandered in through the back door of the shope "Chores, bah" he wanted to simply go see his brother then call Nani, but that wasn't happening, his mum told him chores first.. He was wearing black jeans and a blood-red shirt open over a black tank top his hair loose as always. He grabs a rag and heads into the front room

Mal's ears flicked and he looked up at the new comer... Who was that..?

Surion got to work dusting off the counters he knew someone was there, he could smell them, he didn't exactly pay attention to who it was as he worked

The small feline cleared his throat. "Hello..?"

Surion stopped a moment and looked towards the voice "Hi Malcolm" he says recognizing the male when he saw him, "You have been well yes?"

Mal blinked, flicking his ears. "I-I'm sorry.. Have we met?" he asked nervously. He didn't recognize this person...

Surion chuckles "Yes we have, a while ago" he rounds the counter looking down at Malcolm as he approaches "I suppose you don't recognize me"

He tensed a bit, being the paranoid person he is. "N-No.. I don't.."

"Lets see how can I remind you" he felt in a bit of a teasing mood simply cause it was helping him procrastinate on his chores. His tail moving lazily around his legs he reaches and tickles Malcolm's ear "Hmm still soft"

Malcolm flinched at first, then shivered and purred softly, leaning his head into the hand. "S-Sur..rion..?"

"Good guess" he replies with a chuckle and uses the same hand he had just tickled the fur with to push his long bangs over one ear

Mal glanced up at him, flicking his ears slightly. "You've...grown.."

Surion looked down at himself then at Malcolm "You could say that" he smiles slightly

"You.. look good.." he said, fidgeting a bit.

"Thanks, I appreciate the compliment, I'm pleased with my appearance" he replied and uses the cloth in hand to dust something nearby as they talked

"Where have you been?" Mal asked, pulling his blanket around his shoulders and shivering. His tail flicked back and forth.

"Uhm well we spent some time at the cliffs, and then I've been here and there, doing chores, you just never happened to be in here when I was I suppose" Surion glances over at Malcolm "You?"

"Oh.." he said, lowering his eyes. "Eh.. Things have been hectic at the Castle.. Severus had four cubs, but.. one of them.. went missing.." Malcolm shuddered. "We haven't found.. all of him..."

"Oh my that's not a good thing" Surion stopped glad he was not in that same position.

"Mistress doesn't want us to tell Severus about.. what was in my room.." Mal said.

Surion quirks a brow and looks up his long bangs falling over his face "What was in your room?"

Mal bit his lower lip, closing his eyes tightly.. "We... found... part of the baby's arm..."

"Oh my, that's not very good, I hope you found what did it too" Surion replies moving along the table to clean it

He swallowed hard. "N-Not yet..."

Surion looked at Malcolm with his one uncovered eye "Not good" he frowns "I suppose that's why you are staying in the shop"

He nodded, shivering again. "Here and at the Cliffs, with Vina and Joman."

Surion nods "Least you have safe places to go to, and I don't blame you"

He bit his lower lip again, looking up at the other male. "Yes.. Vina and Joman take very good care of me.. More than I deserve."

Surion smiles and chuckles "My Sister is good that way isn't she" he muses and sits on the arm of an armchair looking at Malcolm

Mal blushed heavily and looked away. "She is.."

Surion laughs, that blush spoke a million words without saying a single thing

He turned a deeper red as Surion laughed.

"Oh Malcolm don't worry, that's just a natural fact of life" he grinned

"I.. suppose..." he stammered.

Surion chuckles "It is"

Well, this was awkward... Malcolm's tail flicked slightly and he tightened the blanket around him.

"Are you cold?" Surion asks seeing him pull his blanket closer and he looked towards the fireplace, it was getting a lil low. He stood and walked to it leaning down to toss more wood in and poke at it wit the poker, his back to Malcolm

"Very.." he said softly. "I think I'm getting another cold..."

Surion frowns and walked back t o him after the fire is stoked and reaches touching Malcolm on the shoulder looking at him his gem glowing lightly

Mal blinked and looked up at him, cross-eyed.

Surion smiles and pulls his hand back "Hope that lil boost helps" he says as his gem goes out

"Thank you," he said, purring lightly.

"Welcome, I know my mum and dad like you so why not help" he eyes the boys ears for a moment before reaching and tickling one, Visha only knew why he liked the feel of the soft fur

Mal closed his eyes, leaning into the hand and purring more.

"You like that don't you, I remember you liking that when I was little too" Surion chuckles

"Yesss.." he purred, only half paying attention to what was said.

"How come?" he asks still tickling the fur

"It.. feels nice..."

Surion smiles and stops and stretches "Ugh I hate chores" he complains before returning to dusting the table in front of Malcolm

He blinked when the petting stopped and he looked up as Surion moved over to the table.

Surion soon finished looked at him with a smile "Well Malcolm, I have to go see my brother, you'll be ok I trust?"

"U-uh.. Yes.. Yes..." he said, returning mentally to reality.

Surion smiles and walks around the couch heading for the back room his tail moving lazily behind him

Mal lowered his eyes, thinking for a moment... He leaned back in the couch, closing his eyes as Elex, the fat little Balan, struggled to climb up onto it.

Sur goes to see bro

Surion used Nani's hover disc and headed in the direction of Kazeha, soon he arrived and checked in, he didn't have TOO much problem with the captain being his brother in law. He headed into the village still riding the disc it was about a 1/2 hour before final chimes of the day at the academy, he hopped off the disc when he got to the academy and tucked it under his arm and walked into the school finding and peeking into his brother's classroom

"So... As I was saying, Alchemy is as much a science as it is a magic. There is equivalent exchange in it, as it is a chemical science of sorts, but you can do things that one cannot do in normal science, like turn lead, or any other base metal for instance into gold. However, I would suggest avoiding that, it's not lucrative, and the gold tends to be poor grade anyway..." Torvin was muttering drawing a complex equation on the blackboard.

Surion watched him for a moment, he smiled he recognized what his brother was saying. with a quiet ease he slipped in and took an empty chair at the back of the class, the students didn't pay much attention as he did, he wore his normal clothing, boots, black jeans and a red button-down shirt over a blank tank, he set the disc silently against the desk leg and listened

"Now, can anyone tell me what happens if one does something crazy and tries to go over Equivalent exchange?" He asked, his hand stopping on the chalk.

Surion leaned back a bit in his seat the alchemists necklace sliding to one side a bit as he spoke up when no one else did "You could lose a body part or two, possibly worse, it depends on just how much over the Equivalent exchange you go. The best known example of this would be the Elric Brothers"

Torvin was silent for a moment. "What happens if you incorrectly mix Dragon's Blood and Quicksilver..." He said semi-loudly, his voice full of question and confusion.

"It Explodes, ya shouldn't throw it either, no matter how close to fully mixed it is" Surion added remembering when his father threw the vial at him

Torvin shook his head but did not turn around. "What's your name..." He said quietly.

The class had fallen silent and were all staring at Surion now

"If you don't know your own brother's name I will have to report you to the principle" he smirked

"Class dismissed..." Torvin said.

"But Rakamash Sensei, There's still fifteen minutes of..." One student started.

"CLASS DISMISSED!" Torvin roared and turned about, pointing out the door. Doing a double take on Surion. "You! Stay!"

Surion was laughing by now, he couldn't help it, to him it was freaking hilarious

The Class fled quickly, none of them wanted to invoke the wrath of their teacher... He was insane!

Torvin walked down from his desk and over to Surion. "Stand up and let me have a look at you, you Hyena..."

Surion stood his tail flicking lazily behind him, he wasn't quite as tall as his brother, but then he wasn't entirely done growing either "You crack me up Vin" he said the necklace shifted back to where it normally rested against his chest as he straightened up

Torvin chuckled and shook his head. "Of course I do, I'm your older brother..." He smirked and brushed his hair looking him over. "Well I dare say I still beat you look wise..." He chuckled, tapping the glasses that only seemed to add to his own features instead of detract. "But I dare say you have grown..." He smiled. "Last I remember seeing you you were about as tall as my knee, could barely talk, and I had just come back from a rather harrowing trip I'd rather not think about..."

"Well I'm not a lil squirt now, I've grown since then, gone on my first hunt, hunting and killing my totem, and grew again" he said

Torvin smiled and ruffled his hair. "That's more than I can say..." He said softly, a small sadness coming to his eyes. "I guess I could do two of those things now, but I really don't... Go there at all..." He said softly with a light sigh

Surion nodded "Your choice brother, mom and dad have a cave there, I stayed in it for a while, oh well. You know you /could/ have finished your lesson, it was pretty good"

Torvin chuckled. "They weren't listening as it was..." He tapped his ears. "You know that as well as I do... The people in the second row were talking about who they'd rather be making out with than sitting in the Crazy Monster's class...

"And why are you a crazy monster? isn't Lene's girl in this class too?" Surion asked curiously

Torvin chuckled softly. "She is..." He said softly, and rubbed his right arm. "But when you teach your students a lesson by removing one of your own arms by purposely fudging up a human Alchemy circle, only to have it back the next day... Well... Rumors start..."

Surion shook his head "Brother I'm not sure I'll understand you at times. I've been learning some at home, from books and dad a lil"

Torvin chuckled softly. "You don't have to understand me Surion... But just a warning, sometimes people are so thick headed you have to make things worse to make things better... After my... Stunt you should say... People actually started to pay attention... But enough of that... You're a strapping boy... I bet you've got girls crawling all over you..." He smirked

"Uh no not really..." he said reaching down to grab the disc "Can we go talk about this elsewhere?"

Torvin chuckled. "Sure, we can go to my place, Kimi won't be home for a couple minutes anyway..."

Surion nodded and tucked the disc under his arm before heading for the door. He couldn't loose it for one it wasn't his, for another he knew there were only 7 of them out there he wouldn't want to even fathom trying to replace it

Torvin checked out the board. "Interesting device... Not yours I take it..." He chuckled. "Dad wouldn't let that bloody thing in the house...

"Well he does, I've had it since I was a kid, it's Nani's" he said as they walked, soon as he was out of the building he took it in his hand and 'dropped' it in front of him it hovered a foot or so above the ground and he stepped onto it" Lead the way bro" he said motioning his hand

Torvin chuckled and started walking slowly. "So, Who's Nani..." He asked softly with a slight grin.

Surion looked at him "The girl who was my babysitter when I was younger" he said not going into detail, frankly honest he wanted to get in someone secluded before talking as he hovered along "You can walk faster you know, this thing goes nearly as fast as dad can fly"

Torvin chuckled and speed up, soon they were at his door. He'd said nothing the rest of the walk, he opened the door and chuckled. "Come on in..."

Surion stepped off the disc and carried it in leaving it near the door , he looked around "Cozy, your wife decorate it?"

"Yeah..." He said with a chuckle as he sat down on his couch. "So... You have a girlfriend yet?"

"I..." he spotted the statue "Uh that is supposed to be covered, it's not her birthday" he said, it didn't help his mom insisted he learn his heritage and that was one thing he had learned

Torvin chuckled softly. "No dodging the subject, and I practice different than others..." He chuckled.

Surion got up and switched chairs do the statue was behind him, to some degree he did practice it, after all he had met her more then once. "Ok yeah... I do" he said the tips of his ears a lil red

Torvin grinned. "What's her name?" He asked, lounging and stretching a bit

"Tinania" He said trying to get comfortable in the seat

"By any chance would her nickname be Nani? And would she be the owner of said board you brought in?" He asked with a sly grin.

That made Surion go red and he nodded "Yeah" he mumbled

Torvin chuckled softly and he sat up a little straighter. "Good for you... So is this a visit because dad suggested it or....." His grin grew even more devious. "Is it just social?"

"Uhm Dad doesn't know I'm here I just said I was going out. I came here though in a sense cause of him. he mentioned a few days ago when I told him abut Nani you had something that helps with ... Urges" Surion was getting beet red "I'd rather be uhmm ready to NOT have to deal with them" he said hurriedly

Torvin chuckled. "Well I can actually offer you two choices... Something that kills them completely... Or something that makes them well, harmless..." He smirked. "Which would you prefer..."

"What do you mean?" he was a lil confused

"Well... It got to a point where I wanted the urges.... But not the nasty side effect that comes with them, also know as children... So I altered my origonal formula and it takes kids right out of the picture..."

"Uh I haven't any intention of doing that till I'm older!" he said... his brother was just as bad as his dad!

Torvin laughed softly. "Alright... I can get you some of my Urge Killer... You'll have to take it monthly... and you will know if you forget it..."

Surion nodded looking at the floor "Ok"

Torvin got up and ruffled his little brother's hair. "Hey, no need to be embarrassed, I'm proud of you... You'll be the most chaste of the entire family..." He chuckled softly.

Surion looked up at his brother "Uhm one more thing" he said

"Yes?" Torvin asked his brother with a small smile.

"Knowanywaytomakehornsnotsensitive" he blurted

Torvin laughed softly and sighed. "If I could, I would have destroyed it..." He sighed. "but I guess I can figure something out..." He chuckled.

"She seems to like running her fingers along them... we made a promise not to, her ears are rather sensitive too but who knows how long THAT will last" he explained

Torvin grinned. "One day you're going to love it..." He chuckled, and moved towards his own lab. "Come... Lets see what I can do..."

"One day yes, but I'd rather not pounce her..." he said and got up following him

Torvin chuckled. "Yeah I know... I know..." He said, going through the kitchen to his lab, he started tossing stuff together, there were random notes strewn about, and a few animals in cages.

Surion walked about the room mumbling different alchemy things to himself as he looked at things

"Be careful not to touch the black stuff in that vile... It eats through flesh like acid... But it doesn't hurt..." Torvin mumbled as he tossed more stuff in a blender looking object.

Surion nodded "Looks like a pain in the butt" he said and nodded walking further and seeing parchment with circles on them that he traced with a finger

Torvin chuckled and looked over his shoulder. "Oh... Those are circles I've been mucking with... I've not tested them yet..." He said softly.

"They don't look like they'd be problematic to me" he mused turning to look towards his brother

"They probably won't be... But they're Chimera circles, and I'm not sure exactly what they'll do to the animals..." He murmured softly. "I've been saving them to make sure I don't do them while Kimi's around..."

Surion nodded and pulled something from his back pocket as he turned back to the parchment and tapped it mumbling softly to himself again "When is she due home?"

"A couple more minutes..." He said softly. "she has to close up and all that... So it'll be a bit..." He blended the stuff together and threw it in a vial to heat.

Surion nodded walking along the animals tapping a ivory white object against his chin "Hmmm birds, and ... felines. I have to say I'm curious" he said

Torvin chuckled softly. "If you want to try one be my guess..." He said with a grin. "Oh, my attempt at horn desensitizing it almost done..." He chuckled. "As well as the first batch of urge suppressor... I'll give you the recipes so you can make your own..."

Surion nodded "Thanks bro" he stuck the object under his arm the handle sticking out it had two round cogs attached to the handle "A cat, and a bird" he mumbled getting them and one off his parchments "This may be interesting" he mused putting down the parchment only to trace the shape with the ivory white 'stick'

Torvin watched him. "Interesting device..." He chuckled, letting the mixtures cool on the rack for now.

"My wand? yeah I suppose, but it's just a tool I have other more interesting things" he said moving the animals into the circle

Torvin chuckled. "I'm sure... You're the lucky one out of all the kids..." Torvin said, and without a trace of jealously in his voice.

"To be the slowest to grow and be different then all my siblings is being lucky?" he asked starting up the circle fully

Torvin shrugged. "You got spoiled and loved on a lot more... I'll bet you're closer to mom and dad too..." He murmured. "I've not been home as much as I should, but my job does take up a lot of my time, as does my wife..." He sighed. "But then, well... never mind... Don't let me distract your alchemy..."

Surion was silent and simply nodded slowly at his brother's words mumbling to himself after a time

Torvin took a few deep breaths and pushed envy down in himself with a steel bat. "I can see where you're coming from... I'm sorry I wasn't around that often... Lene probably was more..."

"Nobody was, Vina was actually there most out of all you" he murmured as the change started

The Feline and bird paring resulted in well... A wigged cat... With a beak

Torvin nodded and sighed. "I'm sorry..."

Surion nodded and stopped the circle picking it up "hmmm interesting creature" he mused getting up and dropping it gently into his brother's arms the light catching his necklace as he went to stuff the wand back in his pocket "You don't need to be sorry, I got used to seeing my siblings by going to their homes."

Torvin nodded and pet the cird... "Nice necklace..." He smirked. "I like the symbol... amplifier?"

Surion looked down "Oh yeah, increases skill and power of the user" he said

Torvin smiled. "Nice..." He nodded. "I'd say I'm jealous, but I can't be..."

"I know bro... I know" he sighed "Can always ask mom where she got it" he said

Torvin chuckled and shook his head. "Nah, I'm one for my own strength..." He chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Well the stuffs done..."

Surion noded picking up the parchment and returning it to the pile "You like my hair don't you you keep doing that"

Torvin chuckled. "Making up for lost time actually..." He smirked, offering him the horn vial first. "Here's to hoping..."

"Hoping" he said taking it and looking at it then held it up "Cheers"

Torvin chuckled. "Bottoms up..." He smirked, leaning on the table.

Surion crossed his fingers and tipped his head back drinking it "Blech" he said after

Torvin chuckled. "Didn't say it would taste good..." He said, and reached out and flicked his horn.

Surion turned and by instinct swatted at his brother

Torvin chuckled. "Well did it hurt?"

"Uh..." he hadn't even noticed "I guess not"

Torvin chuckled. "Then it worked, and I should flick it again to be sure

Surion took a step back from his brother "You do and I swat yours"

Torvin laughed softly and grinned. "Alight alright... Now... Do you want to take the de-urger now... Or later?"

"I haven't really felt it ... yet what you think?" he asked eying the other vial

"Well... Better safe than sorry..." He said. "You could always take it at home if you want..." He said, grabbing two parchments and handing them to him. "There..." He said softly. "Those are the instructions so you can make your own..." He grinned. "You might find me occupied the next time you visit if you come later... or on a holiday..."

Surion nodded "Thanks bro" he said taking it all and pocketing it either in his back pocket or the pocket of his shirt "I should get going your wife is sure to be home soon" he said and then left Vin to deal with the creature and heading for the front door

Torvin chuckled. "Thanks for the visit, I hope to see you again!" He called as he put the animal back in it's cage.

Surion picked up the disc and pulled open his brothers door looking back over his shoulder and tsking silently about the statue

Kimi carried a rather large load home that day. Test scrolls and such, quite the bear to grade really...but a necessary part of the classes curriculum. She headed up the walk that lead to her front door, noticing a strange person standing in the doorway. She stopped and crooked her head a bit. He looked...familiar, but not, at the same time. 'Uhm...Hello?"

Surion looked "oh hello Need some help?" he asked her

"Uhm, I think I got it thanks..." She shifted the load a little to the other side and she looked at the boy. She tried to extend a hand but wasn't able to. "I'm Kimiko Rakamash..."

Surion stepped to the side "Surion... Surion .. Rakamash" he said a laugh playing at his lips

"Surion?" Kimi blinked. She'd heard of him, but never met him. "Its nice to finally meet you." she said smiling.

"Likewise" he said giving a nod of his head "On both accounts"

"Both accounts?" Kimi asked curiously as she walked towards the front door, the load was getting heavy.

"I've heard of you and it's nice to meet you" he said laughing lightly guessing

Kimi giggled softly. "Are you visiting alone today?" she asked as she set her big bag down on the porch by the door.

"Yeah I came to see Vin, wanted to get his help on something. I think I gave him a startle though" Surion mused

Kimi chuckled, "You did? What happened?"

"Snuck into his class and took a seat... then started answering the questions his students weren't" he smirked

Kimi laughed, "Not hard to do...considering some of those students." she knew of the problems he had with some of the people in the class.

"Yeah but.. strange voice... knowing the answers... what would you think if your back was tot he class and it happened" he asked

Kimi smirked, "true...that there was a smart alec that snuck in."

Surion smirked "Ah what can I say I couldn't resist" he said and fidgeted with his necklace

Kimi chuckled and noticed the necklace. "I see it runs in the family." she chuckled motioning to it.

"Oh yeah, it does with at least the males , well you look like you have a lot of work ahead of you and I know Vin is expecting you so I should let you go" he said tossing the disc lightly almost like a Frisbee but it didn't go far and settled a couple feet from him

"Don't forget your niece is very talented too." Kimi mentioned, referring to Naoma. She watched the disc and smirked, "Interesting little gadget."

"Yeah you're right she is I've heard." he looked down "Oh it's one of my girlfriend's hover discs, I don't have wings so I use it" he said and stepped onto it with a smile

Kimi thought it was cute he had a girlfriend. "She must come from an interesting village to have such intriguing gadgetry." She mentioned, actually quite amazed that such a thing existed.

"Oh it's from a Forge I think, different kind of technology there" he said lifting a lil higher "Enjoy the new pet, I should get going I have more to do today"

Kimi nodded, "Okay, well, it was nice to finally meet you, Surion. Have a safe journey home." Did he say new pet? she tried peering into the house, but didn't want to seem rude and completely turn her head.

"Seeya" Surion said and zipped away into the air

Kimi watched Surion leave, still intrigued by his gadget. And once he was out of eyesight, she picked up her bags and headed into the house, slightly worried what the new pet they'd just acquired could be.

Running into Aunt Dia

Dia was walking up the path to her home, having just returned from a trip to the Marketplace. Fresh peaches, as always, in her shopping basket. They were her comfort food afterall, and lucky for her, they grew year-round in the protected village. She whistled slightly, having had a rare good day this day.

Surion had been heading homewards when he picked a scent, a familiar one at that, one he hadn't smelt in a while. He smiles and changes direction landing some 20 feet behind his godmother, he hits a few buttons on the disc shrinking it and then stuffing it in his pocket, with his hands in his pockets he follows her

Dia's ears twitched slightly and she raised her gaze up, slowly turning her head. She sensed someone familiar ... but not someone she recognized off the bat. Hell, she had a hard time distinguishing Ala's vibes from just familiar ones even. Asy, her mum, dad, Kito and Nim were the only ones she had down pat actually. She turned completely around and just looked at the man in front of her. He's familiar, but not ... hmmm... "Hi." she said with a nod, hoping he didn't know she didn't recognize him...she didn't want to insult him after all.

"Good afternoon" he says with a smile looking at her and stopping a few feet in front of her, his long bangs covered nearly half his face so they hid his blue gem and half of his face

Dia smiled and bowed her head slightly. "Howdy. you're awfully quiet this afternoon, didn't even hear the gate creak open." she chuckled, still trying to place the face, even tho she couldn't really most of it. Horns...and a tail...blue hair ... yeah, he looks like half the new population of the village, could be any of them Grobels... Nay... Ala's great-great-great-great-and so on-grandkids... she snickered inwardly, then that idea was shot done, Grobel's are blonde... would have to a Torvin offspring and he didn't have many. She tried to study his features a little more, trying to place him.

Surion smiles "I didn't open any gates" he admits and watches her, with a playful smile, wondering if she would place him, he smelled her confusion clear as day

Dia still was confused. She rarely had visitors, especially of the Rakamash variety. These days anyway.... what with Ala raising her son and not knowing Torvin's family much. "Uhh.. you'll have to forgive me ... but I'm not sure I recognize your face. I think I've pinpointed the family tho." she said with a weak chuckle, hoping he wouldn't be offended.

Surion chuckles "I haven't been here much, least not since I was younger... Tell me... how much has Kouryou grown of late?" he asks as if it's an everyday question even though his eyes twinkled

Dia blinked. "Kouryou...how'd you ... " she paused and it couldn't have been more clear than if it had actually happened; the light bulb lit up right in her head. "Surion?!" Her eyes grew excited.

"The one and the same" he says with a smile giving her a swweeping but playful bow

"Wow, Shorty... you... grew... not entirely so much a shorty now, huh?" Dia joked with him. "How are you doing?" She moved to him, wrapping her arms around her godson.

Surion laughed "No I'm not very short, not a lot shorter then you even. I am doing well actually" he tells her and wraps his own arms around her giving her a hug

"I'd like to say you're growing like a weed, but considering who your folks are, you're growing like ... like ... what grows slow? Oh, I know! like a tree." she giggled at her own lame attempt at a joke.

Surion laughs "You are funny Aunt Dia" he says pushing a lock of his bangs over his ear, he never had liked growing up slower then all his siblings and cousins, but he tried to not let that effect his mood

Dia let go and stepped back a few steps to get another look at him, now that she knew who he was. "You've got prettier hair than you mum now." she said with a wink. "So what brings ya to Kazeha this afternoon? Is your mom around too?" She looked around, but didn't sense anyone else nearby.

Surion laughs "I like mum's hair too, and no she's not here, I came to see Vin and picked up your scent so I thought I'd surprise you"

"I'm glad you stopped by, got a few minutes? I can whip up something to drink, or eat if you're hungry." Dia mentioned, pointing up to the house, as she'd not quite made it there when she was surprised by Surion.

"Sure, I can do that" Surion says with a nod chuckling inwardly that she hadn't recognized him

Dia took a gentle grasp of Surion's elbow and walked with him up the path the rest of the way to the house. "So what have you been doing lately?" she asked, making light conversation as they walked.

"Lets see, growing, getting a girlfriend, showing up at my brother's class unexpected, meeting my sister in law, you know the norm teen stuff" He says walking leisurely with her

"Oohhh! You went and got a girlfriend!" Dia almost squealed, but didn't quite. She poked in the side playfully. "So, tell me about her!"

Surion laughed "I've known her all my life she was my babysitter for the majority of the time, she's half human half fairy, and very very kind hearted" he tells her "Her name is Nani. well technically Tinania, but I've always called her Nani ever since I was a toddler"

"How cute, Surion....the babysitter." Dia snickered lightly, having said the latter part of that with a whisper. When they reached the front door, she pushed it open and allowed for Surion to enter ahead of her. "Hungry, thirsty or both?" She figured him being a teen, he may as well be hungry all the time.

"Yes the babysitter..." He said with a shake of his head. His hearing was just as good as his sister's... Very good "both I think" he says with a nod and steps into her home

Dia chuckled, but felt slightly embarrassed. "Its cute Surion, I didn't mean anything by it." she said meekly. Once inside, she led him to the kitchen and pointed to a stool in front of the high counter of the kitchen island. She put her basket of peaches on the counter beside where she pointed for Surion to sit. "If you want a peach, help yourself, I have some food in here left over from when I made Asy's lunch this morning. In the mood for a sandwich or tater salad?" she asked as she approached the fridge.

"Whichever has less veggies and fruit" he says with a laugh "I'm still not a big herbivore" he says taking a seat remembering sitting near there with Kouryou when he was little

Dia laughed. "A man after my own heart. Veggies are gross. However, I do like fruit. And its a ham and cheese sandwich I have sitting in here." she mentioned, pulling the sandwich out. She always made extras so she was having the same lunch Asy was. "I'll skip the tater salad for now, not enough meat in it for ya." she said with a wink, remembering the raw meat he ate the last time he was here ... when he was just wee tyke. "I'll get ya some milk too."

Surion laughs "Yeah, but you are married and I have a girl of my own that I've given my heart to... so I don't need your heart too" he teases

Dia laughed, "True true. Besides, be kinda gross, eh?" she joked with a wink. Surion was after all her godson. "So anyway, changing subjects... how are your mum and dad doing?"

"Good, mum has been busy with the shop and dad has gotten addicted to taking /everything/ apart, especially if it's any form of technology" he says shaking his head

Dia chuckled and set a large wrapped sandwich in front of Surion and a tall glass of milk. "Sandwich is a bit big...Asy eats a lot and I get used to portions for him." she giggled, "That's good that they are doing well. Haven't seen them in a while."

Surion laughs "Don't worry, I'm a growing boy" he tells her and digs into the sandwich

Dia chuckled and pulled a peach from her basket and started massaging it in her hands. "Thank you for stopping by, Surion. Its great to see you again."

"Hey you are my godmum, course I'll stop by if I think you are home and I'm in the area... " he says between bites with a smile

"With so much family here, I hope its more often." She said with a wink then took a bite of her peach. "When you get back, you should tell your mum to not be such a stranger too." she giggled.

Surion laughs "Yeah perhaps I should tell her not to, but then... you used to come tot he shop but you don't anymore either" he says waggling a finger at her

Dia's cheeks flushed, "Yeah, you got me." She held back a sigh, but kept her smile. "I don't get out much anymore anyway." she explained. "Maybe I will pop in and surprise one of these days. I do have some interesting news for her."

"Oh?" he asks curiously leaning on the surface in front of him more or less done the sandwich

Dia grinned slyly. "I do want to be the one to break the news to her, so if I tell you, you have to promise to not mention it to her."

"Ok ok I wont tell" he says in mock surrender

Dia chuckled. "I've decided to ... invest ... of sorts." she looked around, pretending to be all sneaky-like. "My investor purchased something for me that I'm not quite sure how to handle... "

Surion quirks a brow confused and curious all at the same time "You did?"

"So maybe not the smartest move on the planet, handing all my gold over someone and saying 'buy me something to invest in' ... but I ended up owning something I never could have dreamed of ... Ever hear of Telrunya?"

"Telrunya, Floating Island of the Pae'il, attached to the Ancient city" he laughs "How could I not"

Dia laughed, "oh yeah... I forgot about that. Well ... I uhh ... own the HQ ... and am a caretaker .. of sorts." she explains.

"Woah... dayam... mum and dad have family guardians there, a whole bunch of them actually" he was impressed and it showed

Dia beamed. "I did too, Drizelda... haven't seen her in a while tho." she tapped her chin, looking to the ceiling for a moment, "Should go visit, considering everything." she mused. "I was shocked my broker pulled that one off. I had no idea it was on the market."

"Neither did I... but I doubt mum woulda told me that unless she bought it. I haven't been up there in a very long time" he admits

"If you get a chance, not sure how busy you are these days ... but maybe, Ala and You could accompany me up there? I still kinda need to see what I bought exactly. My broker said someone would meet with me when I got there..."

"Yeah I can't vouch for mum not that I doubt she would hesitate, I will... As for who will meet... probably an Elder, perhaps a guardian... hard to say" he muses

"Great! Your family knows far more than I do about that place." she chuckled, "It would be wonderful to have you guys with me. I haven't really gone because I was waitin for Asy to have a day off, but those seem rare... I didn't want to go alone...considering what happened last time." she laughed.

Surion quirks a brow unfamiliar with what she refers to

"Bounty hunters got me..." she explained, unsure, but reading his expression as one of intrigue and confusion.

"Someone has a bounty out on you? ok... weird..." Surion had obviously not been told all of his godmum's background

"Well...not me specifically, just someone matching my profile... My grandfather put a price out for my mother and I ... so some of the lower life forms hunted us, which is partially why this village is protected..."

"Ahhh I see, ok, well I wont tell mum about the isle, that's your news to tell.. but I should head homewards, I've been here since just before the academy chimes" he tells her

Dia looked over at the wall clock in the kitchen and chuckled, "Yeah, you've been away all day. Well, thank you for visiting me, Surion." she said with a smile, and moving around the counter to give him another hug.

Surion hugs her back "Next time I want to see Kouryou" he says with a wink

"Yeah, sorry, I should have thought to bring him out this time." she waved meekly. "Take care of yourself and tell your mom to shop in." she said with a wink.

Surion smiles and nods getting up and pulling the hoverdisc out tapping the buttons to grow it to normal size

Dia crooked her brow, having seen seen such a thing. "What is that Surion?" she asks

Surion laughs it's the second time that day he'd heard that kind of surprised voice "I'll show you, but it'll have to be outside"

Dia nodded, and followed him the front door. "Don't see doohickey's like that in Kazeha....seen some shiny beeping things like that around Barton tho."

Surion chuckles "This is from Aekea" he says "And there is only about 7 of them out there" he says and stops beside her outside tossing the disc ahead of him. it didn't fly away like a Frisbee, it went about a foot ahead of him and settled to float about a half foot off the ground

Dia approached the floating discus thing and tapped it. It didn't move, wobbled maybe a teensy bit, but was seemingly solid. She tried pushing down on it, but it was like pushing on a rock. "Intriguing thing, this ..." she giggled. "Where did you get such a thing in Aekea?"

"It's a hover disc, and technically I didn't, it's Nani's" he says and steps onto it and it lifted and sunk and did a couple circles, obviously under control

Dia watched him with great awe. "I need to get me one of those thingers." she chuckled. "Well, Surion, have a safe journey home! Give Ala a hug from me." she called out to him, waving.

"I will... have a great night Aunt Dia" he said and took off into the air

Surion's Scribbles

Dear Journal

I surprised Torvin today... it was interesting, I seriously do not think that his class takes his teaching seriously which is horrible since he seriously is a good teacher! I met his mate too, she's nice, I think he did find someone nice. I also saw aunt Dia too, she didnt recognise me but that doesn't shock me I haven't exactly seen her in a while.

Coming Across Old Friends

Nagi stands outside her house in Barton town, the last few years having been long and hard for her, having recently been victorious in the Ordeals, a tradition among the Cerescians. She had just in the last few days received her daisho and a pendant that marked her accent to adulthood, although she was still a teen. She sighed as her mind wandered to her old friend Surion. " Its been so long..."

Hovering along on his hover disc not going very fast as he is reading a book Surion heads through Barton planning his strategy to go tot he cliffs, he wanted to get something special for Nani... But at the same time he needed to study his alchemy a bit too so that was what he was reading. That day he wore boots, black jeans and a red silk shirt under a complex jacket which wasn't done up. He wasn't exactly watching his surroundings as he hovered lazily along

Nagi's cerebrus started barking loudly and she looked at it. " What's wrong..?" She asked, then her jaw dropped as she seen why the animal was barking. " Good mother of the gods.. Surion?!" She exclaims loudly, her dress a shimmering sapphire as her now white feathered wings folded down her back.

Surion came to an abrupt stop turning his head having heard his name, he blinked working on placing a name with the face, he knew he knew the face it had just been quite a while since he'd seen it

" Good lord..... is that... really you?" She asks, levitating up to him. " Its me... Nagi.." She says, hoping it was really him.

Recognition dawned on him "Nagi!" the name clicked and with it all the memories that were associated "Hey, fancy running into you" he said smiling and putting his marker in his book then closing it

" You look.... well i will be blunt here.. you are hot." She says with a blush like she used to. " Its been too long... I missed you." She says, wiping a few tears away."

Surion blushes and hops off the disc taking hold of it and shrinking it "Thanks" he says sheepishly "Yeah, it has been too long... Have you been keeping safe?"

She intentionally rests her hand over her chest line, hoping to hide the large stab mark there. " Somewhat."

Surion quirks a brow "Ok what have you been doing this time" he said remembering past incidents easily

" I had to go through the Ordeals to become an adult and accepted as one in Cerescia... needless to say... they are not for the weak." She says, Her long white hair with black tips down to her waistline and her two devil tails are entwined with one another and her horns have grown a bit. " I hope I don't look bad.. I don't know if the years have really been kind to me.." She says softly.

Surion quirks a brow on 'years' "You look ok to me overall" he tells her looking her up and down. "And you are alive so I suppose that's what counts"

" I look okay eh.. heh... I am assuming you are with Nani now?" She asks, pain obvious in her voice.

Surion hesitated in replying knowing what happened in the past "Uhm yes" he says hoping not to draw it out "Okay meaning, not like mutilated or full of scars and stuff like that" he says pushing a lock of his bangs over his ear

She nods and looks a bit sad but fakes a smile. " Glad you are happy..." She says softly. " I am sorry if I was interrupting you if you were going to see her or something." She says, stumbling over her words.

"No, she's at work actually, I was just out for some fresh air" he says knowing it was the truth feeling a lil awkward with her stumbling over words

" I.. see. Well if you have time.. would you like to come in and talk? We can...catch up." She says, her mind stumbling for an excuse to keep him there.

"Sure, I wasn't in any hurry" he admits and stuffs the disc in a coat pocket

She smiles and nods, floating back down to the ground and lifts her gown a bit, walking to her now large house and unlocking the door and opening it for him. " At least you are visiting when the house is clean.." She says with a genuine laugh.

Surion laughs "I can't say what it used to look like, I only send Stardust to find you that one time and mum brought you to your place the second time" he says following after her

She smiles and walks over to her bookshelf and pulls out a rather large book. The living room is decorated with plush sapphire blue rugs and dark red walls, a beautiful and well crafted sort of weaponry is against the far left wall and on the far right is a large bookshelf and a table with several scrolls and vials of various herbs on it. Nagi walks over to him and motions to the comfy looking couches and sets the book down on the table in front of it. " I found a old Cerescian alchemy book that might interest you and saved it for when I seen you again." She says, walking very gracefully over to the couch and sitting down, setting back up a picture of her and a very happy looking little girl.

"For me?" he asked curiously reaching and taking the book from the table as he sat down his brown one resting on his lap as he flipped open the new one his eyes scanning the pages

" Yes. I figured you would like it." She says, starting to sing in her native tongue softly and picking up harp beside her and playing it, giving him some time to scan the book over.

Surion scanned a few more pages then looks up with a smile listening to her sing, man it really HAD been a long time... longer then he'd like to admit

Her voice had become more adult like and she sounded a lot better than before, her body lighting up in a prismatic fire and it seemed to dance around her and the dying roses in the vase on the table in front of them began to rebloom.

Surion smiled, he'd nearly forgotten she could do that, he always had found it amazingly cool to watch

She closed her eyes as she stopped singing and opened them again and smiled shyly at him, her eyes a bright green now. " I have been practicing a few new things."

"Yeah? like what?" he asks curiously as he leaned on the books in his lap and watched her with interest

" I have been training in healing and battle magic, but I have learned to dance and sing tons better than i used to." She says, tugging on an ear gently.

"Well you certainly do have a lovely singing voice that is for certain" he admits with a wide smile

She blushes at the complement. " Thank you Surion. So... what have you been up to as of late?' She says, resting her hand over his in a friendly manner.

"Growing, practicing Alchemy going clubbin, that kinda thing" he tells her with a nod

" I see.. I have never been ... "clubbin" before.. heck.. you are the first non Cerescian contact I have had since we last seen one another." She says, feeling like a real loser.

"You mean you haven't walked around Barton and made some friends? Or gone back to the clinic?" he asks incredulously

She shakes her head. " No... I have not." She says, blushing from embarrassment.

Surion chuckles "Silly Nagi, not supposed to keep yourself so isolated" he tells her with a teasing wag of his finger

She playfully snaps at his finger, her mouth sliding over it momentarily. " Heh... yep.. quite the hermit.. that's me.." She says with a laugh.

"I played hermit once..." He says with a sigh "I remember doing that... "It's not fun"

".... it was my fault too.." She says, her hair falling in front of her eyes, shielding the pained look in her eyes.

"Not entirely no, it was more an adding up of a number of things" he admitted to her hoping she'd cheer even a little

" Surion... I know I had a hand in that.. and I apologies for that.. it was never my intention to make you sad." She says, turning her head away for the moment. " Behave Nagi.. he's taken baka." She mentally snaps at herself.

"You know Nagi, it's water under the bridge, long come and gone. heck even the three headed dog you gave me has grown, he lives int eh forest... somewhere" Surion says

" They do grow fast." She says with a nod then looks at him. " So.. you uh.. ever been kissed before?"

Surion nods "Yes, I have" he affirms with a nod

Nagi stares at the floor. " I never have."

"You weren't kissed when you uh..." he points at the picture "you know... procreated?" he blushes

"....no. It was immaculate conception.... except I did feel the pain of my...virginity taken from me when he merges with my body... its the strange way some do things.. like they don't want to get their selves dirty with... people like me." She says, her fists balling up.

"Oh..." Surion felt kinda... well... stupid hearing this

" Besides.. would you want to kiss someone who looked like me anyway.. I doubt it." She says, brushing a loose strand of his hair behind his ear.

"Noone ever said you were unattractive, not then, not now" Surion says not thrilled when people put themselves down

" I think people are either afraid of me.. or intimidated by me... or just plain prejudiced against what they don't understand." She said, pondering on whether or not to say what she really wanted to.

"Was I intimidated? after all I showed no hesitation in talking to you, helping you, healing you even" he said disbelieving what she was saying to him

" No you weren't..... and I have to ask... if you weren't with Nani... would you kiss me?" She says, embarrassed she let out the thought.

"I just may have" he said resolutely noting her embarrassment

" I... want to know what its like... to be kissed... and held." She says softly, her eyes gazing into his as they remained the emerald green color.

Surion blinked, he was trying to sort out her reasons for telling him this

" And.. I always wanted it to be you that kissed me... silly of me eh?" She says, letting down her emotional barriers and saying what she was feeling.

Surion shifted in his seat officially not knowing what to say to Nagi to her words

" Well.. since the cat is already out of the bag... yes.. I still love you." She said, her chest rising up a bit as she nearly held her breath.

"Nagi..." Surion said quietly "I'm sorry, I... I still find you a good friend, but my heart belongs to one, and has since I was a child" he bites his lip with his sharp teeth looking at her

" I know that.. I just figured I'd get it off my chest." She says and then turns to him. " Can I get you something to eat or drink?"

Surion nods "If you like..." he agreed "I'm not picky for the most part" he took a deep breath

She rises to her feet and picks up her gown and walks to her kitchen and brings out some chocolate chip muffins and a bottle of red liquid and a bottle of water. " If you would like something specifically, just tell me and I can fix it." She says, sinking back down.

"No you don't have to do that." Surion says with a shake of his head watching her as she returned

" You are my guest. I will fix you whatever you desire...and I promise you won't die later from eating it.." She says with a laugh then locks her gaze at him.

Surion chuckles "No I'm ok honest, you don't have to fix anything special on my account"

Nagi walks over to the bookshelf and pulls out a book with blue rose patterned covering and sits next to him and opens it and there is picture of a beautiful little baby girl with silver hair and bright green eyes in the picture. " I wanted to show you a few pics if you would like to see them... then I want to introduce you to my familiar."

Surion nods "All right" he says and puts the two alchemy books to one side

She smiles and points to the picture. " That's my baby... I named her Lufia." She says, as she turns the page to a picture of herself in a very fancy white dress that resembles a wedding dress and standing next to a obviously older woman that she resembles a lot. " That's my grandmother Ruveila and I on my Coming of Age ceremony."

"Wow, that's got to be a special occasion" Surion says his eyes flitting over the images

She nodded. " It was the proudest moment of my life. I spent all my life training for that very day when my own people would accept me as an adult." She says, looking over at him. " I wanted to invite you, but I figured you were busy in your own studies or didn't remember me." She says with a chuckle and turned the page and it showed her in a chain mail bikini with a beautiful sword in her hands and a dragon standing behind her.

Surion quirked a brow "What's this one of" he asked looking at the image

" Eh.. that's one of me and my daisho.. or inherited weapon I received in the ceremony and the dragon behind me is my familiar... and the armor.. well.. i have always had weird taste.." She says with a laugh. " At least I didn't look chubby in it."

Surion chuckled "Nooo you certainly don't look chubby" he agrees his eyes falling on the dragon "Where is the dragon from?" he asks curiously

" This is going to sound weird but from a place in the heavens called Celestia.. but some have began to nest near our kingdom and a very chosen few bond with one of us... I am the first one and only female in 1000 years to have one as my companion." She says, looking almost proud.

Surion smiles, he knew what his mum's totem was even though he could never tell "Dragons are rather unique beings" he says with a nod his tail flicking by his leg

" You ever met a dragon face to face before?" She asks, gently poking at his tail.

"Of course... My grandma, granpa, and well all the rest of my family" he says "Remember? I'm Dragonic, or at least mostly such"

She smiles and takes his hand. " Come with me.. I want to show you something." She says as she closes her eyes and her clothing changes to the chain mail bikini from the picture.

Surion stands following her, only partially surprised when her clothing changes

She grins and places a tiara on her head chants something in Cerescian as a portal opens and she turns back and looks at him. " I want to show you the land where I was born.. that is if you would do me the honor of allowing me to bring you there."

"Long as you bring me back" he says with a chuckle and a nod

She smiles. " Not a problem.. portal spells are a breeze." She says with a laugh as she brings them both into a land where two suns are in the sky and the weather is steady 70 degrees and to their left a lush forest can be seen and to the right, a large lake, with a small island in the center. Nagi smiles as she sees a streak of light soar across the sky and towards a huge palace.

The walk up to the palace was a fairly long one, fountains lining the side. In the sky, where the twin suns appeared to be setting, a large shadowy outline of a dragon loomed as several others followed, passing over the palace as the continued towards a large mountainous area to the south of them. Nagi grinned and pointed to the fountain lined walkway and took his hand. ' Run with me... its fun."

Surion had floated most of the walk feeling not much like walking so far just then, but her invitation to run with her she took up and put his feet on the ground and ran

Nagi laughs like Surion had never heard her laugh, one filled fun of fun and joy and without worry, as she runs with him and the fountains shoot up as they pass them on the way to the door.

Surion chuckles his eyes turning a bright emerald green and he was near dry when he came to a stop at the end

Nagi was dripping wet and her cheeks flushed from the running and she reached over and hugged him. " You were too dry.." She says with a smirk and a laugh.

Surion laughs and holds a hand back under a nearest fountain and the water all but avoided it "The joys of controlling water"

Nagi balks. " Hey.. that's cheating.. you were suppose to get wet.. now.. I have no choice.." She says tackles him, aiming to soak him with the water all over her.

Surion laughed loudly ducking her barrage of water

Nagi laughed as she got up. " You have some rather well defined muscles there Surion." She says with a smirk. " Well Nagisa... its nice to see you come back.. and my goodness with a man.. and this one... he's a doll too." The woman says, stepping out into the light. Its the woman nagi called her grandmother earlier.

Surion turned looking towards the voice he head and nodded his head in a sort of gesture of greeting "G'day"

Ruveila looked him over, letting out a low whistle. " Nagi.. you found yourself a cute mate, she says with a chuckle. nagi shakes her head rapidly. " No..no...no.. Grandmother, you got the wrong idea here, this is my friend Surion and he is with another." Ruveila looked unconvinced.

"I have been Nagi's friend for a while ma'am, My mate comes from the realm of half fairy" he said with a nod

Ruveila snorts. " Faeries... anyway nice to meet you, I'm Ruveila, her grandmother." She says holding out a dragon clawed hand.

Nagi sighed and made a motion with her hand of a slicing across the throat

Surion took her hand "I am Surion Rakamash" he introduced himself his tail moving lazily behind him as he spoke

Ruveila's strength was a formidable one, evident in her handshake. " You have the gift." She murmurs as she releases his hand and opens the palace doors. nagi gives her a grateful glance and walks forward and motions to Surion to follow.

Surion quirks his brow not knowing what the woman meant. But after a moment turned and followed Nagi

" The gift means you can cast magic." She says, figuring that was the reason for the perplexed look. " Grandmother had a nasty encounter with faeries before and has had a nasty taste in her mouth for them hence." She says as the walk into a huge room and she continues to walk forward, and as they pass guards on the way there, they kneel in Nagi's presence.

"Cast magic? I dont quite get that" he is a lil confused by this and he eyes the others as they walk

" You're ability to control water.. she probably seen you do it earlier... grandmother is good at watching others without them knowing... trust me on that." she says with a slight laugh as they reach the throne room and she speaks something in her native tongue and the door opens and all 8 women in the room drop to their knees as she enters and Ryoka turns around. " Welcome home Nagisa."

Surion nods and looks towards the voice that greets his friend and nods a greeting of hello

Ryoka smiles. " I remember you being smaller Surion.. you have grown into a very handsome young man. Welcome to Cerescia, honored guest." Ryoka says with a smile as Nagi smiles at Surion. " Want to go meet the Dragons?" She asks him, containing her excitement.

"Thankyou ma'am, I appreciate the compliment" he tells Ryoka and then looks to Nagi "Ok ok I think that's what you want all along anyways" he laughs

Nagi blushes slightly and scratches a ear. " Well... I will show you a few other places you might like as well. Just figured being draconic and all, you might want to see other Dragon-kin." She says with a nervous laugh and walks to the window and opens it. " Mind flying there?"

"No I think I can manage flying" he says pulling out the disc from his pocket with a smile

Nagi grins and shakes her head. " no no.. I mean really fly." She says as she pulls a flute from her belt and plays a small tune and a large prismatic dragon lands outside the window. " Come one... Ruby Ember here will take us there." She says with a laugh.

Surion laughs "ok" he nods and returns the disc to his pocket, if he was either of his parents he would have simply sprout wings

Nagi climbs down onto the dragon's back and holds her hand out to Surion. " Come on... this is tons of fun.. really." She said as she ran her hand over the neck of the dragon and he turned his head to gaze at Surion, his scales on his neck resembling a burning flame and the rest was a prism of color.

Surion smiled and bowed his head in respect of the creature and then looked at Nagi again "I believe you" he says with a laugh

Once he was on securely, Nagi patted the dragon's neck 3 times and it took to the air at a 45 degree angle until they were soaring up very high and the twin moons had risen in the sky and the night sky was a sea of stars as a shooting star passed by. " Make a wish." She said as Ember smiled only as dragons could smile, and turned his head and looked Surion over again before turning around again.

Surion nodded seeing the shooting star, and he wished what he always wished. He noted the dragon's looks at him and it made him curious though he said nothing

Nagi looked back at him. " I think Ember approves of you." She says with a smile. " If you could have one wish granted.. what would it be?" She asks him.

"I'm not sure you'd want to hear it Nagi" he says wanting to avoid another depressive state

" Its about Nani isn't it? and I will listen to anything you have to say." She says reach and hand back and grasping his.

"Just to be with her forever is all" Surion tells her biting his lip hoping she wouldn't get that look in her eye

Nagi's expression doesn't change. " Well if I could have one wish.. I would with for you to have the greatest happiness that anyone could have and if its with her then so be it." She says, turning around with a real smile.

Her words startled him to say the least "Thankyou Nagi" he replies softly with a smile of his own

She smiles at him again and turns around and grasps his hand. " Friends forever?.. and I better be invited to your wedding damn you." She says, laughing as she had earlier.

"Friends forever" he replied with a laugh "And don't expect an invitation real soon, I only just started dating her"

Nagi smiled to herself as she had a feeling she would be attending said wedding in the future. " Good. Now I only hope I can get as lucky as you have. But I have no social skills whatsoever... perhaps you can show me this.. clubbing thing?" She says as the dragon readies for a decent.

"It's pretty simple, go to a club, and dance" he says "I've only been once so far, and I spent most of the time sitting in the VIP lounge" he admits

" Would you laugh if I said I would be scared to go in one alone?" She asks, tugging on one of her ears.

Surion shook his head "No, most people seemed to be there in groups" he tells her

" You are my only friend.. and I kind of have this social anxiety thing... but anyway... when am I going to meet Nani?" She asks as she pokes him playfully.

"If I can pull her to the clinic one day or just to a park in Barton , I'm not sure her schedule as yet" Surion says with a nod

" You think I would scare her?" She asks as she grips onto the dragon tightly as it starts descending rapidly.

"No, she has a Vampiric aunt and her grown up around two fa'e" He says with a nod

She nods and braces for impact, knowing the dragon's landings were far from gentle. " um.. hold on tight.. there is going to be a bumpy landing." She says.

Surion nodded and held on

The dragon lands and Nagi gets propelled off it and into the lake 10 feet in front of them as the dragon tucks and rolls to avoid losing its other rider and speaks into his mind. " Are you alright youngling?"

Surion had lifted off the back of the dragon as it tucked not desiring to be... squished "I am fine yes thanks" he says softly and puts his feet on the ground

Nagi's head popped up out of the water and she coughed and heaved a few times, spitting out water. " Surion? You alright?" She asks as she swims for the shoreline. The large lagoon she landed in was in the center of a mountain filled area and several other dragons had gathered by this time to observe the disturbance.

Surion nods "Yes I'm fine" he says with a smile standing on his feet, his eyes turn emerald green and he pushes some of the water aside to make her path to the shore easier

Nagi smiles gratefully and walks over to Surion and steps out of the water. " Thanks for the help.. he normally doesn't land that bad... I promise." She said with a small laugh as she turned to watch a older female dragon whack Ember on the head with its tail.

Surion laughs and his eyes return to normal as does the water he had moved "Wasn't all that bad of a landing to me I suppose"

" I can't tell you how many times mother had to get the room fixed on the house when I was learning how to fly." She says laughing and taking his hand and walking towards the dragons. " You think Nani would like to come visit here someday?" She asks, as her cheeks turn dark pink as her gaze falls to a male that's standing beside the older female dragon. he has red hair and fierce blue eyes. " Eh.."

Surion shrugged "I don't know hard to say I guess"

The male approaches Nagi and Surion and kneels to Nagi and offers his hand to Surion. " Welcome to Parcelyte, home of the Dragons and Draggons. Name is Maxim Woodshadow." he says, sizing Surion up. Nagi's face seems to be stuck in the pink cheeked stage.

"Thankyou, I'm Surion Rakamash" he replies taking the hand offered with a firm grip

Maxim smiles. ' Pleasure to meet you. You have an interesting aura... its draconic.. but then again its not. You must be the friend the Lady Nagi gushes about." He says with a nod then turns. " I must be going but I'd like to spar you someday if you don't mind." He says as he smiles directly at Nagi and her face gets redder.

"I am mostly Dragonic yes, I'm a Kerrsalian Vampiric Dragon of the Fae Dragon line" he explains "And I may consider a spar I suppose" he nods

Maxim looked impressed at this. " That's a very noble bloodline you come from. I respect you Surion of the Rakamash family. I hope our paths cross again." he says as he vanishes in a bolt of lightening and Nagi clears her throat. " Anyway... time has gotten away from me and I think we should be getting back... We will have to make a return trip someday so you can meet the elders." Nagi says.

Surion nods turning to her after the male is gone "All right" he agrees

" S...s...so... what do you think of my homeland thus far?" She says, preparing to open a portal.

"Very unique" he admits and wanders towards her "I think you like that Maxim fellow"

She balks and her face turns red again. " I..i..do not.' She says weakly. " he has been courting me.." She says, feeling rather embarassed.

"Your face is red, and I can pick up the scent of arousal. Nice try though" he grins

She opens her mouth to say something then promptly shuts it again. " You know.. sometimes.. I hate you.." She says, with a laugh.

Surion pretends to pout but winds up laughing as well

" I can't really say I know honestly how I feel.. he makes me feel funny... like I am floating or something." She says, rolling her eyes.

"That's called love" Surion says looking towards where Maxim had disappeared from

" I don't know... is something wrong Sur-kun?" She asks, looking at him.

"Nope, not at all" he smiles

" Why were you looking that way then?" She asks, pulling out a component she needed for the spell.

"Am I not allowed?" he asks with a laugh waiting for her to do her thing

She laughs. " You are, just wondering why was all." She says as she drops a sapphire heart pendant on a necklace. " opps.." She mutters, bending down to pick it up.

Surion watches her she hadn't changed... not in his eyes

She opens the portal. " There." She says as she closes her eyes, her clothing changing back to what it was before.

Surion smiles and steps through back into her living room, he notices the sun's position in the sky through the window "I should get home" he admits

She nods. " I hope I didn't get you in trouble." She says as she picks up a note on her table and turns beet red.

"No, I just have some things in town I have to do before I go home so I need to stop and finish the errands" he smiles scooping up the books "Thankyou for the tour, and for the book" he says

She smiles. " Well don't be a stranger now and bring Nani by sometime... and we call all go out to a club... and I hope you enjoy the book." She says, holding the note to her chest, smiling like a fool. ' Sur... he formally asked me out... why do I feel like I am going to faint..?" She says, grabbing onto the table for balance.

"It's called love, let it loose, and enjoy it" he smiled and waved heading out of her home pulling the disc out as he went tossing it ahead of him when he got outside and hopping onto it before zipping into town more

Nagi smiled back at him then walked over to her couch and passed out, very tired from the portal magic but shielding it very well.

Surion meets Silent

Surion walked into the VIP line of Club Stream, he was coming back tot he club on his own for one time, he wanted to observe other people and pick up dance tips so he could REALLY surprise Nani the next time they came. He wore his boots, black jeans and a blood red silk shirt open over a black tank top. his long hair was loose, he rarely did it up. He had no issues getting in, which could be surprising since he wasn't exactly of age yet.

Silent mingled in the throng of people. Closing her eyes she raised her arms above her head and swayed her hips to the beat of the music. Dark brown sweaty hair was plastered against her flushed face. A trickle of sweat traveled down her olive toned chest and disappeared into the abyss of her low cut maroon fitted spaghetti strap top. Her legs were incased in black leather pants as her pedicured toes picked out from behind strappy black stiletto heels. She became lost in the music as the song took over her being.

Thumbs in his belt loops Surion walks to the edge of the dance floor his eyes looking into the crowd, there seemed to be many different styles of dance happening there just then, everything from very close like he and Nani had done to very alone, to wavy and flowing, like the female wit the brown hair he was currently watching. There was something about her that did make him curious, something vaguely familiar, but he was pretty sure he had never met her before.

Her bangs covered her left eye, but as she moved, brown eyes peaked behind it. The song started to change into a song she didn't like very much. Lowering her arms, she weaved her way through the crowd of people. Her sandal clad feet led her to a booth in a corner. Quiet and private. Just how she liked it. And, just like every Friday night, stood a tall glass of wine waiting for her on the table top. Scooting her body onto the cushions, slender fingers quickly grasped the glass. The first sip was intoxicating. She drank a little more of the liquid. Her body warmed as she felt the liquid fire run through her veins. The drink made her feel like she was warm again, like a human. But only for a moment. Her eyes quickly glanced to the group of people on the dance floor. She raised her nose to the air as she caught a scent. Hmmm.... Demons usually didn't inhabit this bar.

Surion's eyes watched her leave the dance floor his tail moving lazily around him his body slowly picking up the beat and he bounced just slightly to it, he wasn't ready to go out onto the floor just yet. His eyes returned to the floor after watching her a moment watching other styles of dance. He slowly walks around the perimeter of the dance floor in the same direction as the female, but he wasn't following her, just merely walking

Silent crossed her left leg over her right, tapping her foot to the beat of the song. Placing her glass upon the table, she brought her finger up to her lips. Her tongue came out and to slightly wet the tip. Placing her moist finger on the rim of the glass, her finger followed the circular ring. A low ring emanated from the object. No matter how often she did this trick, it always seemed to entertain her. She raised her nose to the air once more. The smell was stronger than before. Predator eyes took in the environment around her. Dancing bodies. Too many people. She picked up the glass once more to take a drink.

Surion's ear picked up the sound and he looked in the direction of it, well that looked amusing at least he mused to himself silently. Standing at the corner of the dance floor watching her, his horns stilling up above him adding several inches to his height. He looks into her eyes any time they flit in his direction, trying to pick up on her genetic makeup, but she moved too often and wasn't close enough to get it

Silent's eyes briefly turned yellow, then back to their original color. She ran her teeth along her canines in concentration. Something was different tonight. She sipped from her drink once more and rose from her private booth. She was getting restless. She needed to do something. Anything. Dancing always seemed to make her happy. This time, she walked along the outer circle of the group, looking for a way into the middle of the mass of people. That's where she liked to be. Her eyes scanned the group once more. She squinted into the darkness. The lights flashed periodically that Silent swore she someone with horns. Oh well. Maybe the light was playing tricks on her eyes. She found an opening in the group and snuck in. And there she was. In the middle, dancing the night away.

Surion's curiosity got the best of him when his eyes saw hers change color briefly. He wanders into the crowd letting his body move with the music. The lights did catch his horns as he moved onto the floor instead of standing in the shadows. He was making a near bee-line for her. and soon was within a few feet

Silent raised her right arm in the air and let it trail down her neck, down her chest, ending on her hip. She moaned at the satisfaction of it all. Letting reality go for that instant, taking her mind into a whole new world of sorts. She opened her eyes and was greeted to an interesting sight. A boy. A boy with long flowing hair and... Horns! She knew she wasn't imagining things, but the discovery wasn't enough to stop her from dancing. She just raised an eyebrow at the newcomer.

"Mind if I join you" he asks his talking revealing his sharp pointy teeth and slightly elongated canines. He moved with the music his eyes looking into hers... Vampiric... now that was interesting...

Silent cocked her eyebrow again. A sly smile came to her lips as she turned her back to him. "If you can keep up." she retorted. Two canines appeared behind her lips as she smiled. Her hips swayed to the beat of the song.

Surion smiled, if he could keep up with Nani's dancing he could keep up with this female's, Nani was not a slow dancer. He changed his movement becoming very much like her own

Silent looked over her shoulder and watched his movements. Not bad, she thought. She turned around and this time was facing him. She ran her hands through her hair, revealing both of her brown eyes. She closed the gap between the two. "Show me what you got." she smiled slyly once more.

Surion smiled, he liked a challenge. He was in his mind however treating the situation like a learning experience, his heart lay elsewhere. He looks down at her moving close and with her his body following hers his hand lightly on her hip. He ignored those around him, this woman was intriguing him and he would not deny it

Silent turned around and placed her back against his chest. Her hips swayed along with his. She placed her right hand over his and looped her left around his neck. It had been awhile since she had a really good time at the club. This boy intrigued her immensely. Closing her eyes, she let her senses take over her.

Surion danced with her till the song reached it's conclusion "You intrigue me" he says to her deciding not to leave that a secret

Silent chuckled. "I've heard that one before." she smiled. She turned around and was now face to face with the male. She placed her hands upon his hips and looked into his eyes. He was different. Something was different yet familiar.

Surion looked away from her towards the upstairs VIP lounge... Then back "Care to join me for a conversation, I wouldn't mind determining what it is about you that has me intrigued"

Silent followed the movement of his head. She shrugged her shoulders. "Sure. Lead the way." she offered. She looked forward for what was to come from this meeting.

Surion turns and heads through the crowd and past everyone, he stopped and told the bouncer that guarded the VIP room that she was with him and then headed up the stairs and in. It was spacious, a few small tables a few posh couches and chairs... what you'd expect to see...

Silent followed the man through the crowd up towards a staircase. A bouncer let her pass through. She continued to the follow the boy until she came to a room for people who were VIP. It was comfortable and private. It was perfect. Sitting upon the couch, she crossed her right leg over her left. "I don't think I've seen you around here before." she confessed.

"I've only been here once before actually, not all that long ago really" he says as he drops onto an armchair, his tail laying lazily across one leg

Silent tracked every movement he made. A tail too? Interesting. She cocked her head to the side as she eyed him. "I come here pretty regularly, but I don't remember you. You must hide well in the shadows." she replied to his question.

"Either that or you were not here, I came with someone, and I spent most of that time with her up here" he motions the lounge "You are Vampiric, yes?" He watched her for her reaction

Silent only gave him a slight smiled. "Well... what's your definition of Vampiric?" she wondered. Vampires are different among different cultures and people. Who knew what he was thinking.

"A vampire is my definition of Vampiric, someone who has turned, and can turn others" He replied simply

Silent cocked her head at the answer. "Well... That' s one way of looking at it, but yes. In that definition I am Vampiric." she confessed. Her fingers made invisible circles against her thigh as she contemplated many things. "Why do you want to know?" she questioned.

"You intrigue me, there is something familiar about you, yet at the same time I am pretty certain I have not met you, besides the fact, Vampiric blood runs through my family's veins too" he says smiling in a way that revealed his canines again

Silent listened to the young man. "It runs in your veins you say? Well, you're not a pure blood, so you must be a hybrid. She sniffed the air again, looking for his scent and concentrated. She found the familiar Vampiric scent and something else that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

"No I am not fullblood, neither is my father, or mother for that matter, there is also Dragonic in my veins, as well as Kerrsalian" he states his tail tapping his leg as if to say 'if that wasn't already obvious'

"Kerrsalian? Draconic? That's much more common then people realize, but all together? I must say, you're definitely a rarity." she contemplated the boy.

"Not really, The only person in my family who's mix isn't that which I've mentioned is my eldest sister, She's simply Dragonic and Vampiric" Surion says with a nod

Silent froze. It couldn't be. She shook her head. No. No. It wasn't true, she repeated over and over. She whispered her daughters name. "Torvina."

Surion blinked "You know Vina?" now he was confused AND intrigued

Silent looked up. Moist eyes caused brown eyes to shine in the light. "She's my daughter." she said softly.

"Vina is my sister... And if she's your daughter... That makes you my father's first mate" he knew Vina had a different mother, and he knew his father had another mate

Oh no. Here comes the drama. The past and everything that went along with it.

She nodded her head. "Torvil." It had been a long time since she said that name.

"Wow... what a small world this has become" he scratched his chin and then pushes his bangs off his face over his ear looking at her now with both blue eyes, his father's eyes

Silent shivered as she looked into those familiar eyes. "A very small world." she needed a drink and she needed it now.

Silent closed her eyes and laid her against the sofa. "That's what I smelled on you. Me." she commented. Everything was going too fast. She definitely wasn't expecting to meet someone that reminded her of her past. It took her by surprise.

"And I see my sister in you... Not to mention her daughter too, I'm not sure I think her son reminds me of her mate" he rambled before getting back on topic

Silent's eyes snapped open. "Wait.... What?!? A daughter? Torvina has a daughter?" Silent rubbed her temples with her fingers. Her head was starting to ache.

"A daughter and a son for sure, and that was a few months ago when I was still a baby, so I wouldn't be surprised if she has more now, her and her drow mate" he nods

"I.... I see..." She didn't know what else to say. What could she say? She opened her eyes and looked up at the boy. A smile came to her lips. " You definitely remind me of your father. I can see it in your demeanor." she chuckled.

Surion smiled he liked that he looked like his father "Thanks, I take that as a compliment." He watched her with intrigue and interest

"I bet you would." she chuckled once more. Tilting her head to the side, she forced her neck to go at an odd angle. A familiar pop resounded through the room. She felt much better now. Her shoulders slightly relaxed into the couch. She cocked an eyebrow at the boys look. "What?"

"I still find you intriguing, regardless the fact I now know who you are, I don't really know much about you" Surion says as his tail flicks against his leg

Silent tapped her nail against the bottom of her lip. "Well, what would you like to know?" she opened her arms wide. "I'm an open book." she smiled.

Surion laughed "Uhm, something about you I guess, all I know is Vina's mum is not my mum and she's Vampiric"

"Well... Guess my age? Well, my immortal age, not the human one." she asked. She wondered if he would be pretty close at the age or not.

"Uhhh you look in your twenties to me" he admits sheepishly

Silent chuckled. "I was around that age when I was changed. I'm over two hundred." She looked to her nails then back up to the boy. "A bit old don't you think? " she laughed.

Surion gaped at her for a moment "Over two hundred? you dont look it..."

She cocked her head at the question. "I'm a vampire. What did you expect?" she commented. Maybe he really didn't know much about his vampiric lineage.

"Uhm, I don't know what I expected" he looked sheepish

"I'm two hundred and fifty years old. An older vampire compared to most. " she offered. "There's many vampires out there. And all of them don't look human." she offered information to the boy.

Surion looks at her with interest "You do for the most part, why do others not and you do?"

Silent pondered the question. "Ok. Think of vampires as dogs. They're all one form of beast, but in different breeds. Like you have a Chihuahua and a great Dane. Completely different yet basically the same. Vampires come in all shapes and forms." Silent tried to describe vampires in the most simplest terms.

Surion nods slowly as he took in this information "Just like there are different kinda of dragons, ones that stay in full form and ones like me and dad and granma and such"

Silent nodded exactly. "You're different yet the same." she patted the empty seat next to her inviting him to sit next to her. "You must be a good hunter with your heightened sense, right?" she wondered if the child hunted.

"I like to think I am, I completed my hunt at the cliffs" he confirms and then moves over onto the couch beside her

"Good. That's good to hear. Do you hunt with your father?" she wondered out loud.

"I haven't been on any hunts since my first one, and that one I only went with my guide..." he couldn't say more and he knew it, hopefully she knew that from her time with him...

Silent didn't understand the hesitancy in his voice, but she wasn't going to push it. "Well..." She placed her fingers under his chin and turned his head from left to right. "How old are you?" she questioned. Something was off.

"About 7 months" he said letting her look him over he figured she probably wanted to know how long he'd been around

"Hmmm..." she replied. "Well, you look older than seven months. How do you look older than what you are?" she wondered.

"Uhm.. Vina is like a year older then me maybe a bit more and she looks like 26ish, Vin and Lene are only a few months older then me and they look 21... have for a long time... It's the Dragonic blood" He tried to explain

That cleared things up. She remembered caring Torvina, but only for a day. The race seemed to age quickly. "Ok. I understand. So, what about you? I don't even think I know your name. I'm Silent." she greeted herself with an outstretched hand.

"I'm Surion" he replies and takes her hand firmly in his own with a smile

"Surion. What a nice name. Did your mother name you?" she asked. Torvil seemed to name things that resembled his own name. Like Torvina for instance. And Torvis his banthi.

"Yes, mum named me Surion Asmodeus Rakamash, she named the twins too, Torvin and Selene" Surion nodded

"A smart woman." She compliment his mother. She looked into the boys eyes. "So, like my daughter. Do you have someone special? " she asked curiously.

Surion nods "Yes, her name is Nani" he smiles and purrs softly "I've loved her for a long time"

"Taken with her I see. How is that going?" she questioned. The boy seemed to be enthralled with the girl as he spoke of her.

"Wonderfully, I came here tonight to observe the dancers to get tips, so I can surprise Nani by dancing better then the first time next time we come" he smiles and looks out through the window down at hte dancers

Silent chuckled. "Women love a man who can move his hips." she smiled slyly. "It's definitely a plus."

Surion laughs "You didn't seem to complain about my moves"

She couldn't help but laugh. "So you don't have anything to worry about then, right?" she cocked an eyebrow as an impish smile played on her lips. Her nails ran underneath her shirt to scratch her toned stomach. She tried to keep it from growling. Her stomach wanted to have a say, but she wasn't going to let it. She'd eat much later.

Surion laughs "I suppose I don't. If you are any indication that is" he watched her "I just matched the movements you made was all"

"You just need a good teacher." she winked. Her eyes fell upon the crowd of people through the window on the bottom floor. Closing her eyes she could hear the erratic heart beats of the dancers. Imaging their blood coursing through their veins as adrenalin rushed through their body. She shook her head to rid herself of the thoughts. She'd have to eat tonight, there was no way around it. She looked back to Surion. "I'm sure you wont be a disappointment to the girl. After all. You are your fathers son." she smiled.

Surion smiles "Aye, I am a Rakamash" he chuckles "Well Silent, it was nice to meet you, I should probably let you get back to your evening" he says

Silent rose to her feet and offered her hand. "A pleasure. Who knows? Maybe I'll bump into you on the dance floor again. " she smiled.

"You might, or perhaps you might poke into the shop, rumor has you did once when the twins were little" he smiled and started for the door after shaking her hand

"The Balan shop, right? A rumor? Wow, it almost seems like it was ages ago." she walked towards the door as well. "Maybe. Who knows. I'm a tad unpredictable." she chuckled.

Surion laughs and holds the door open for her "Yes the Balan shop, we live in the house behind it. The twins in Kazeha and Vina and gang live at hte cliffs, she's an Elder there"

She nodded thank you. "I'll stop by soon. Hopefully, if life permits me to. An elder? Wow, I'm really out of touch." she shook her head as she found out new information.

"Perhaps you can get in touch, who knows" He smiles and follows her out once more

"I'll take you up on that offer." she stated. It would be nice to visit the past once more.

Surion wandered down the stairs after her and then said goodbye parting ways

Silent waved goodbye as she grabbed her jacket from the booth and headed out the door into the night.

A Fa'e asks for Help

Surion wanders towards the bar after he parts ways with his sister's mother, it was interesting to say the least, who would have thought he would meet her, let alone that she would look so young... but then... Vina wasn't all that old in calendar dates either. He sat on a bench "Can I have a soda please" he says

one of the half snake half human barkeeps looked up, squinting at him, then smiled, sitting a can of soda on the bartop, winking at him. "Free for you thisssss time cutie." She turned back to mixing drinks, half humming half hissing a little tune.

Surion smiles "Thankyou" he replies intrigued by her as he pulls the can towards himself and cracks it open. He didn't think he'd ever quite get used to all the different people he kept meeting

After a few moments, a large half red dragon came up, lightly tapping Surion on the shoulder. "You Surion? The bossman is lookin for you." He stood, arms crossed, looking every inch the bouncer that he was.

Surion turns looking up at him, he swallowed hard. Oh no what had he done, he'd only danced, gone up to the lounge and had this soda. He had no idea who the 'bossman' was but just the imposing figure of the bouncer made him sure he was in trouble... "Okay..." he replies trying to keep his composure

Turning, the bouncer led the way to an elevator, triggering it to head downwards, not saying a word, just standing at ease, arms crossed over his chest. When the elevator stopped, he pointed down the hall. "Take the first right, then go in the third door on the left." Lightly pushing Surion out of the elevator, the doors closed again as the elevator headed upwards.

Surion nods and then finds himself catching his footing as he is verily pushed out of the elevator. He turns and stares at the doors for a moment.. If he was in trouble... the bouncer would have stayed with him... like he was glue... With a shake of his head he turns and walks down the hall and then turns and starts counting doors.. "One,... Two... Three" he swallows hard again wishing he had not left his soda on the counter of the bar as he knocks

"Come in, Come in." came the voice from inside the room. If Surion was paying attention, the voice sounded familiar, but like it was in a good deal of pain.

Surion takes hold of the knob and pushes the door open, where had he heard that voice before.. He wasn't sure... Stepping into the room he licks his lip nervously "You wanted me?"

Silver was laid out on the couch, bloody bandages here and there, his eyes half open. "Hola Surion. Was going to go looking for you, and you show up at my club. Lucky me, eh?" Turning his head to one side, he coughed hard and long, grimacing in pain.

Surion blinks, it's the guy from Nani's sister's house "Hello, I remember you.. Silver.. right?" he asks

Silver nodded a little, still coughing, gesturing for Surion to sit down as the coughing lessened, grimacing and wiping a little blood away from his lips. "Was looking for you to see if you knew anyone that could perform healing of the sort you can't get at a hospital."

Surion sits down as requested, he's a lil surprised at the question, why would he specifically be looked for if Silver didn't know... "Uhm yes I do..."

"Good. Lana said Nani had mentioned that you might now someone." He gave another cough, leaning back, eye closed a little. "As you can see, I haven't healed a bit since you last saw me."

"Yes.. Me.. Or my mother or my aunt" Surion confirms since it came from Nani "It's a power the Kerrsalians have" he looks silver over "Wow, it's been a while now, and you haven't healed at all?"

Silver shook his head, wincing a little. "It seems whatever that shelkrenath twice damned demon used on me, its damn hard to heal." He leaned back again, eye closed this time.

Surion frowns and pulls the chair a little closer "I can try.. Not sure if I can outdo a demon though..."

"Please, if you could..." Silver opened his eye, letting the amount of pain he was in show just a little, biting his bottom lip, as he forced himself to sit up, claws digging into the couch a bit.

Surion moved to stop him "You don't have to sit, honest it doesn't matter what position you are in" he spoke a little late as the wolf finished sitting

Silver smiled a little, just giving a shrug and wincing at the same time, watching Surion. "Do what you will. It can't be as bad as I feel right now."

"Just to warn you, if I pass out... don't worry, I'll wake up, it's kinda a built-in safety so I don't give you all my healing energy" Surion warned him and pushed his long bangs over his ear his face much more visible now, including the blue gem in his forehead he looks the wolf over deciding where would be the most appropriate place to touch

Nodding, silver held out one arm, showing an unharmed patch of flesh there that would be easy to grab ahold of, not saying anything else for the moment, forcing himself to not pass out from the pain.

Surion didn't need to grab hold of anything, with a breath in he reaches and puts one hand softly on Silver's arm and the fingers of his other on the wolf's side. He did find spreading the healing out helped. He kinda just stared and the gem on his forehead went from being just a plain old gem to glowing rather brightly, a bright blue light coming from it as Surion attempted to help

Silver closed his eyes as the warmth spread over him, tingling a little as the energy slowly spread through him, the worst of the wounds closing up, his body helping out a little as it was freed from just holding itself together.

Surion moved his fingers to other areas as he saw the cuts closing, internally he truly wondered what had happened. He didn't really think that was his place though. He smiled seeing he could be a help to Nani's friend

Silver sighed as the pain lessened, releasing his death grip on the couch where his claws had sunk in, his eye opening a little as he gave a small smile.

Surion could feel himself giving the energy, and soon felt the wooziness of it, he knew he would pass out, but he was determined to help as much as possible before that happened

Silver, seeing the boy wobble, reached out, taking Surion's hands and pulling them away from himself. "That's enough Surion. I'm fine now." And he was. While there where a few minor cuts, his own natural healing was slowly closing those up as well. He had scars still all over the place, but the look of pain was gone from his eye, and he looked a good deal more relaxed.

Surion nodded, but the gem didn't darken again till Silver let go of his hands, just touch did it, it didn't have to be hands... hands were just the easiest. with one more wobble he did pass out.

Sighing, silver caught the boy, laying him out on the couch as Silver stood up, shaking his head. "Ah, laddy laddy laddy. I guess I'll have to call someone to come get you." Checking Surion's pockets, he found his wallet, along with a phone number to call for his house. Stalking over to the wall, he slid a panel out of the way and dialed the number on the phone.

Ala looked up quirking a brow... who would call the cell, well then Surion was out... getting up she crossed the room and picked up the cell and flipped it open "Hello" she greeted simply, not expecting it to be a perfect stranger

"Erm, Hello. I've got a passed out dragon boy by the name of Surion here, and I was wondering how to get him home." Silver detested talking on phones. He preferred to be able to see someone face to face when talking, so he could smell them and see their body language.

"Surion? That would be my son, may I ask who this is and how he came to be passed out?" there was a touch of worry in her voice

"Errr. This is Silver, a friend of Nani's older sister Aylana. He passed out healing me I'm afraid. I didn't expect him to try it on his own, I was just asking him if he knew someone that could heal." Silver scratched the back of his head. Oh joy. A mother.

"He can heal as well as I can Silver, he has training from his Aunt, something I don't even have. " she sounded relived that that's all it was "Passing out is just something our bodies do to prevent us from killing ourselves.. Give him about a half hour and he'll wake up right as day"

"Okay. Was just making sure he wasn't going to stay passed out for hours on end or that I didn't need to get him somewhere. Nice talking to you." With that silver hung up the phone, sitting down in one of the chairs in the room, watching the boy sleep on the couch.

Ala looked at the phone in wonder when the connection closed. "Oh well" she mused and closed the phone going back to her book

True to his mother's word about a half hour later Surion stirred

"Hey there Surion. You feeling okay?" Silver smiled a little, setting down a glass of water and watching the boy to make sure he was truely okay.

Surion stretched and opened his eyes "Yeah, I've been through worse" he said sitting up ignoring his shirt as it slid from his shoulders revealing a few scars that were rapidly disappearing now that Surion was awake again

Silver leaned back, stretching, looking very pleased. "Ah. Its nice to be able to move without everything hurting again." He closed his eye, standing up and stretching a bit more, joints popping as he did so.

Surion smiled looking up at the wolf "I'm glad I could help, you do look much better" Surion straightened his clothing and just watched Silver for a moment

"Mmmm. I feel a lot better to." He smiled, and did a back handspring to finish stretching out. "Hmmm. I have an idea." Stalking over to the desk in the room, he dug around, and pulled out two passes, handing them over to Surion. "Here you go. Two free passes into the club whenever you want. As a token of my thanks." Smiling, silver streached out in a chair. "You need any help getting home?"

Surion stood and took the passes he handed and then reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a rather small disk, shrunken but perhaps familiar since it had been Lana's at one point "Nope I should be good"

"Ah. An MEF hoverdisk. Be careful heading home." He walked Surion back to the elevator and back up to the club, leaving him at the door to go greet some people that Silver apparently new, a spring of life in his step, though the fact that something still had him down was apparent.

Surion watched the male after they separated for a moment then chuckled and shook his head he had had enough excitement for one day... it was time to go home... and that's what he did

Surion's Scribbles

Dear Journal

Wow today was a seriously insane day. First I saw Nagi, wow it's been such a long long time... I dont know what I'm gonna do though, she still harbours feelings for me *sigh* Problem is journal I dont hold those same feelings for her, honesty is I never did. All my feelings have been for Nani, ever since the first day I realized there was someone I wanted to have as my mate. She took me to her land as well, it was intersting seeing her in that kind of setting, her grandmother was even more interesting... thinking I was her guy... well that was certainly wrong... oh well. I saw the land of hte dragons and dragoons too, well her line of them, I think there is someone there that likes her and that she likes too...

I decided to also go to the club to observe and pick up some pointers so that next time I go to the club I met someone I never have ever thought I would have met... I met my older sister's mother! Wow she looked good ... but not as good as Nani... she was a good dancer... but not as good as Nani... It was interesting to say the least.. Perhaps she'll show up at the shop one day and see dad...

If that wasn't enough excitement for one day ... I'm sitting at the bar having a soda and the club's BOUNCER taps me on the shoulder... I so seriously thought I was in trouble! Especially when the bouncer told me the bossman wanted to see me! Turns out it was Silver the Fa'e I met with Nani when I was a kid... the injuries he had then were still there! Man they musta been some nasty injuries... He wanted help finding someone who could heal him without the use of conventional medicines... So journal... I did it I healed a Fa'e! That was insane I wouldn't have thought someone who wasn't a Fa'e could heal one.. But...

well Journal That was my day, the craziest and most busiest day I have EVER had!

Torvil makes Surion BLUSH

Surion landed home late that night, he'd had an... interesting time at the club to say the least... first Silent, then Silver... He pushed the door of the house open and wandered in making a beeline for the kitchen, he needed food, after all he'd used a LOT of energy

Torvil was in the kitchen making something for himself. He heard the door open and looked. "Alright... I'll make some for you too..." He chuckled as the sound of another steak starting to sear was heard.

Surion blinked and poked his head into the kitchen "How did yu know I was hungry?" he asks curiously

"Well first off, I wanna know if she raped you..." He chuckled softly and smirked at Surion. "And secondly.... How is she?" He chuckled. "Because I know one of those scents on you... I could never forget it... Not even on my deathbed..."

Surion came to a dead halt "What? Huh? Who?" he had a look of confusion on his face

"Silent..." Torvil chuckled, tossing the steaks on a plate and walking over to the table. "Sit..." He smiled, seeing his son's confused face.

Surion sat down "How did you .. never mind scent.. Well I guess the first answer is no, she did not, I met her at the Club" he took a seat

"I didn't figure she would..." He chuckled softly. "How is she?" He asked, his eyes watching Surion as he pushed a steak towards him, and he started to eat his own.

"She seems ok to me, I didn't know who she was when I first met her" Surion admits and pulls the plate to himself digging into the food

"That's good..." Torvil sighed and his eyes seemed to cloud. He shook his head, his eyes returning to their normal clear, but they still seemed... distant, as if Torvil was remembering things that to him, were long since past.

"You ok dad?" Surion asks seeing his father's far-off expression

"Yeah..." Torvil said, his eyes returning to the present. "Just... Remembering the past... Us old folks do that..." he chuckled weakly and brushed his hair. "I'm not sure if you'll ever have to deal with this Surion... But... I did love Silent, odds are, there is still a part of me that does, even though the marriage fell apart. Just look at Vina, she's a prime example..." He said and shook his head. "Of course, her 'solution' to that issue is probably the most ideal I've ever seen, and wouldn't likely happen... Not with your mother and I..." He shook his head. "Besides, I'm sure Silent has long moved on, and I'm very sure the last thing she wants is a Rakamash on her arm..." He chuckled and looked at Surion. "The point I'm trying to make is..." He took a deep breath.

"I love you mother very, very much, and I would do nothing in the world to harm that relationship I have with her." He leaned back in his chair. "Silent and I didn't work out, and that's the past, and the past is well, past. But, I will always have a spot for Silent in my heart, even tho..." he sighed and leaned forwards. "Even tho, when I married your mother, that spot was full of pain, bitterness, and loathing..." He sighed softly

Surion nods slowly listening to his father's words "She seemed... shocked when she found out who I was" he tells him

Torvil chuckled softly. "I'm sure she'd figure I'd of left long ago..." He said with a weak chuckle. "At least it wasn't me she ran into, that could have been... Well... Awkward..."

Surion nods chewing on the meat in his mouth "Yeah, I can only imagine"

"Not to mention..." Torvil looked at Surion. "The potential feelings it could cause in both parties..." He chuckled softly. "I'm not sure if you know, or want to know... But your mother and I were... quite the wild bunch after Torvin and Selene were born..." He looked up at the roof. "That's partially my influence on your mum... and well... Silent's influence on me..."

Surion quirks a brow confused and curious at the same time

Torvil chuckled and leaned forwards. "Let me put it this way... We were very, very kinky sex beasts..." He chuckled loudly.

Surion's eyes went a lil wide and his ears red "Daaaaadddd" he so was not sure he needed to hear that

Torvil laughed. "If you want the honest to gods truth... We still are..." He smirked. "It's actually a lot easier now with you being this age and all..." He smirked. "Oh! I should talk to your mother about teaching you about it all..."

Surion's ears went even brighter and his eyes resolutely to his steak

Torvil grinned. "Just be thankful our room is internally soundproofed..." He chuckled softly with a smirk. "Else I'm sure you'd KNOW when such events were occurring... I'm not sure if you know this... But your Mum can get LOUD..."

"Daaaddddddd" Surion couldn't even look at his father now, dear Visha he did NOT need to know that...

Something Surion didn't know, and should probably HAVE know, was that his father had a sadist streak... and it was definatly coming out to play now, as Surion was soooo fueling the fire! "Well I'm not all that quiet either, but DAAAAMN..." He laughed loudly. "Just wait Surion, your time will come... And for you I hope soon..."

Surion shut up right about then but it didn't help his face or ears from blushing, the 'talk' was one thing... but details on his parent's intimacy was not on his agenda

Torvil chuckled and smiled. "Alright... Enough torture... I'll try to shove my inner Sadist back into his hidey-hole... Lord knows only your mum likes him anyway..." He laughed.

"I can believe that" he whispers and bites his lip still staring at his steak

Torvil chuckled. "Just be careful Surion... The old adage, like father, like son, holds true for some of this as well... You might find yourself quite... Open... To some of the things I could teach you..." He chuckled. "At least verbally of course... Lord knows if I were to try and show you it would be... awkward..."

Surion's face went beat red "No thanks on physical teaching!" he blurted out!

Torvil laughed loudly. "Yeah..." he leaned back in his chair and wiped his eyes. "Gods... I haven't had this much fun since... Well to be honest... Last night... I was hoping for an encore with your mum... But..." He craned his head to look out the door. "I THIIINK she's still reading..."

"She was when I came inside" Surion mumbles trying hard not to get mental images

Torvil chuckled and nodded his head. "It's amazing how much like me you look..." He said, very SUDDENLY shifting gears. "I swear, you looked a LOT like your mother's son when you were younger..."

Surion finally looks up "you think so?" he asks curiously, he hadn't thought about who he looked like

Torvil chuckled and nodded his head. "Yeah..." He murmured. Resting his head on his hands, elbows on the table. "You were definitely your mother's son when you were little... But now..." He chuckled softly. "I guess it's the eyes that really do it..." He smiled softly. "But then, I've always been told I have strong eyes... You're no different..."

Surion nods and watches his father, his eyes were very certainly from his father

Torvil smiled. "I'd debate weather or not you have mine or your mother's mouth... But that would require something I'm sure NEITHER of us want to do..." He smirked.

Surion's eyes widened tenfold and he looked very rapidly back to his steak "Daaadddd, I swear you are trying to make me perma-blush"

Torvil laughed loudly and shook his head. "No Surion, just trying to remind you that in my eyes, you're an adult..." He chuckled and leaned forwards a little bit. "And well yes... It's fun to make you blush..."

Surion picked at the meat in front of him "Somehow I don't think I should be shocked you said that"

Torvil chuckled. "It's a family trait, what can I say... We all look good blushing... and we all enjoy making others blush..." He laughed.

Surion nods "Yeah, I suppose.. Nani looks so cute when she blushes" he purrs softly thinking of Nani. He looked forward to seeing her next.

Torvil's eyes got well... rather... clear. "So Surion..." he said softly. "You will tell me when you and Nani are intimate right?" He said with a slight smirk. "I want to know when my son decides to get a mate..." He chuckled. "not that you'll be able to hide it well..."

"Somehow dad, I have a feeling you will know before I even open my mouth" Surion says and pushes his bangs over one ear

Torvil chuckled. "It's my personal experience that those bloody pheromones don't come off unless you bathe a LOT... Or you wait awhile... a very looong while..." He chuckled softly. "Just a... fair warning... For you... When you start... It's very likely you will not want to stop... Our appetite for that is rather... Large..."

Surion nods acknowledging what his father was saying... now he was glad he went to see Vin.

Torvil chuckled softly and looked at the table. "You should talk to Torvin... I don't know how the boy did it... But he somehow managed to well... Do stuff that even I didn't know was possible...:"

"What squash the Urge?" Surion quirks a brow

Torvil nodded. "That..." He murmured. "And some other things..." He chuckled softly. "But yeah..." He brushed his hair. "The most surprising thing I think... Was his elixirs..."

"He gave me the one for the Urge and created another one for me too" Surion admits having not mentioned it previous

Torvil nodded and chuckled. "That's good..." He smiled. "I learned to control it on my own... But yeah... Once I'm erm... going... it's all over..."

"Yeah but... I bet I have one advantage you don't" Surion says slyly

Torvil looked at his son and quirked a brow. "Oh?"

"You feel every little thing mum does to those yes?" he points at his father's horn

Torvil chuckled. "Yeaaaaah..." he said with a smirk. "And maaan... It's niiiice..." He chuckled softly.

"And is it nice when you are trying to control yourself?" Surion asks

Torvil chuckled. "Well... No... cause then I well... lose it..." He blinked. "He didn't!" He stood up. "Did he?"

Surion looks around innocently "Did he what?"

"Did he figure out how to turn them off?" He asked, pointing at his horns. "If he did... He could be... well... a hero!"

"Maybe....." Surion looked around and then up at his father

Torvil chuckled. "Come on Surion, you have to tell me!" he said, jumping up and down like a little boy.

"And what if I make you find out for yourself?" he smirks

Torvil made a pouty face. "Pwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Surion reached a hand up and tapped his horn rather hard and then stuck his tongue out at his father

Torvil's eyes went wide, and he reached at his own horn in sympathy... until he saw that Surion was fine, and he chuckled. "That's a nifty trick..." He chuckled. "I'll have to get me some... I wonder..." his eyes widened. "if it could be used to... enhance it..."

Surion laughed "I should remember to lock away the recipe"

Torvil chuckled softly. "I could always go to the source... But think about it... if normal horns feel that good... think about it twice as good... Or ten times even!

"The source gave me the one he wrote, I think it seemed he enjoyed feeling it far too much to keep it" Surion laughs "Dad, if you did that I don't think you would EVER come out"

Torvil chuckled. "Something fun to do on a weekend... or two..."

"Or three" Surion laughs and sits back in his chair

Torvil chuckled and sat down as well. "Well thanks for the heads up... If you'll let me borrow the recipe I can slap it down in the black book..." The book he referred to was the one he kept most of his potion stats, recipes and the like, it sat on the shelf in his lab, and was free to use by anyone in there...

"I'll consider it" Surion winked and got up stretching and yawning "Oh Visha I need sleep" he says still tired from dealing with Silver

Torvil nodded. "Go, get some rest... I'll make sure your mum leaves you be..." He chuckled, slipping out of the room to go... 'distract' Ala.

Surion nods and wanders off to bed

Torvil would go to bed soon as well... Hopefully not alone.
