"Conundrum..... ahhh..... aye..."
She hung her head a little, her pointed ears seemed to droop just a tad as she racked her brain for clues as to what had happen. But any time she thought she was getting anywhere, the pain behind her eyes would worsen immensely.
"I remember.... Dinner..."
Flushing, her eyes widening a little in horror as she remembered the Krak.
"I'm sorry..."
She muttered under her breath as she kept trying to remember. Her face softening a little as she adds...
"And I remember Maxi... that's it."

Walter smirked as she apologized, he had found the Krak incident quite amusing to be most honest.
That quite good Lady Teira. Master Maximos will be quite happy to hear that.
He smiled, holding open a door for the lady.
Things will be quite alot easier now that The Lady, can understand us.
The door led to a lunch room. It had a medium size table as opposed to the dinner monstrosity, a set of chairs randomly spaced around the room, and seemed generally quite cozy. Teira would be led to one of the nearby chairs, and Walter would of course stand across and to the side of the chair so that his presence was known and yet he wasnt in the way should she choose to exit the chair.
Is there anything the lady would like?

She grinned up at him, happy that Maximos would be happy. And happy too that Walter was not displeased with her!
As she followed him to the door and he asked if she wanted anything though, she had to stop and think.
"Want? ... ah... like.... need..."
Thinking aloud as she sorted through fragments of the language known as common.

Indeed.
Walter nodded.
Want, need, or desire. In other words is there anything the Lady would like to make her more comfortable.
His right arm was bent across his stomach, parallel with his hips. A similar pose to the one he had at dinner, when there was a towel over his arm. And with a wave of his left arm over and down his right, there a black towel was.
A drink perhaps? A morsel to eat? Is anything left the Lady would like to ask?
Walter was after all a butler. Countless years were spent in servitude and upkeep in this calm pleasant home. Its simply what he enjoyed doing.

She listened closely, repeating a few of the words softly, mouthing them to herself.
"Desire.... comfortable... drink... drink-- thirrsty..."
Turning bright eyes to him as another word, came coupled with drink. A word to describe how she was feeling and hadn't noticed until Walter mentioned getting her a beverage.
She smiles sweetly and slips her arm through his.
"Drink please!"

Of course.
It seemed she hadnt retained all of her linguistic skills. But she had enough that he could at least hold a decent conversation with her. He reached to the table beside her chair, picking up a pitcher and pouring a cool class of water into a black tinted glass cup. And very gently handed the lady the cup with a white napkin beneath it.
Would the Lady care for anything else? If not, would the Lady mind if I ventured as far as to ask a question of her?

Teira looked befuddled, trying to recall things she liked let alone the names for them. She had nothin'. Shaking her head slowly she shrugs and smiles at him as he asks if he could question her,
"Sure."

The Lady is most gracious
He reached out to the chair on the opposite side of the small table on which she sat and took a seat. His posture bent, leaning forward toward the Lady with a kind smile on his features. His arms rested on his knees, his white gloved hands folded into each other.
The Lady has shown signs of certain...unique quirks, and I was curious how much of such The Lady remember.
His hands slid gently against each other and his eyes scanned his hands for a moment.
Soon after waking the Lady had an encounter with an enchanted broom in my possession. The was a spark as it touched the ladies skin. A magical backlash.
His gaze returned to Teira. A confused and yet interested gaze on his elderly eyes.
Does the Lady have any recollection of any magical abilities?

"M-m-maaagick..."
She said softly as she tucked her feet up under her as she perches on her chair. Taking the glass of water gratefully, she guzzles it and beseeches him timidly with her eyes for another.
She was dehydrated, of course she didn't know that. Her body temperates was naturally, a good deal higher than was normal for most humanoids, and a side effect of elemental alignment was that she dehydrated easily.
But again... she didn't know this. Sierra did, Teira didn't.
"Magick... umm... powers... meta-physs-i-cal--- ability---"
Processing the word she tries to grasp what exactly his question means. The word held a familiar ring yet when she tries to think further on it, it's something akin to coming across a section in a book where the pages have been torn out.
Furrowing her brow, she rubs her head as she tries to dig past the term.
"I don't-- understand. I-- I'm sorry."

Walter was a master at reading such signs, it was simply what he did. Without her having to utter another word the cup gently floated in front of him and found itself refilled and placed carefully in her grasp.
Magick...is a method in which we exert ourselves onto the world around us. Observe.
Walter lifted the pitcher pouring it directly onto the table, before the water could splash it seemed to take the contours of the inside of a cup. A black spiral surrounding it and forging into a black cup, just as Walter placed the pitcher back down.
That is magick.
He lifted the cup in his hands this time and took a small sip before placing it down.
I believe the Lady herself is capable of magic. Does the Lady by chance feel a connection to the world around her? Something deep perhaps, a tug at the weave which forms...
He gestured to the room around them, and more indirectly, the world.
...all of this?

She stared wide eyed, shivering at seemingly nothing. Her entire body seemed to buzz as the water poured into... nothing, and then nothing was something...
"A connection--- "
Her poor mind tried to keep up with the words that were beginning to flood back into her memory.
"--a tie... bond... relationship....err..."
She rubs at her head painedly.
"...Bond...."
She seemed to settle with this word as she thinks about the world.
"World.... room?"
She made a face, that didn't seem right. Yet this room, this building, was really all she knew of the 'world' so far.

Room, yes. This room would be an excellent place to begin searching.
He stood, gesturing around the room, running his fingers along the elongated table in the center of the room. His back turned to her as he took a few steps and then stopped.
The entirety of this room no....
He turned around.
...this house. Is enchanted, brimming with magics to keep it in place, and shield it from the elements.
He made his way back to the fireplace. He bent down striking a log against the inside of the fireplace instantly engulfing it in black flame before he tossed it in, filling the room with the lovely scent of burning wood. As light would be most hazardous to the inside of th room, this was instead a faux violet and azure glow, but a glow none the less.
If I may impose the Lady to try, close her eyes, and see if she can reach out to this room without using her hands. It may seem impossible at first, perhaps even difficult...but I entirely believe it possible.

She blinked at him like he'd just asked her to part the dead sea. Sighing she acquiesced to his request and closed her eyes. At first she had trouble just comprehending what he was asking of her, while she was getting her words back quickly, a lot of the meanings were still vague in her mind.
At first she huffed a little, trying to grasp the task at hand... but nothing. Squirming she wondered what in the world Walter had in mind when she began to feel her skin prickling. Sitting on her hands she attempted to concentrate harder.
She sat perfectly still, a hard task as she was inclined to fidget.
Thinking hard, she 'listened' to the room.
The room was extremely noisy! It never said anything in words, but like this, it was like the entire room was screaming at her. It was nearly over powering and a small gasp tore free from her throat as her head felt crowded.
It took a fair length of time for her to start sorting out the noises. When everything wasn't yelling at her all at once, it didn't seem so bad. She even began to notice, that certain things were 'yelling' louder than others.
Her head turned towards the fireplace instinctively, Something felt hot against her eyelids as she reached a trembling hand out towards it.
Words seeped into her mind and from her mind flowed to her mouth...
"Fire... flame... ignite... incinerate, burning..... BURN."
The flames would roar forth from the fireplace in a monstrous torrent, reaching for her in a fiery tempest even as she called them.

Walter watched her most carefully, he could almost feel her tapping into the delicate weave of the house. As expected at first it bombarded her, but soon he could see the weave sort around her, managing itself into a comfortable form. It took her a good amount of time, but nothing in comparison to the years it takes the less magically inclined.
As she turned to the fireplace, he stepped back. Magicks involving fire have a tendency to be quite...energetic. The words, they way they came from her seemed less as if they came from a new experience, and more as if an old memories being refreshed and released.
The torrent of black flame rose and gushed toward her. Flame...the water made sense now. She was in a shadow form, it had no real need to thirst or eat, it was driven by the instincts the mind that inhabited it contained. Her shadow nature even more so allowed her to tap into the dark flames inhabiting the fireplace. The fire came in a powerful gust toward her and yet Walter did not budge. Chairs could be replaced, desks re-created. Somehow, he was sure she would not be harmed.

Maximos Maximos is a very light sleeper. He was gently beginning to be wrestled from unconsciousness as she woke. Her gently finger brushing aside a strand of navy blue hair, was accompanied by his eyes gently peeling open. And a small smile spreading across his lips. He had almost no magic senses, and was just about completely unaware what was going on below. Good....morning?He said, with a sheepish, sleepy voice. Juunikyuu smiled gently and leaned backwards, arching her back with a quiet but still audiable crack before rolling her shoulders and they ached and made a painful grinding sensation trickle down her spine. She shuddered and exhaled, letting her body relax. She blinked a little, exhaling deepy again. That energy mark she had felt. That magic. It seemed familiar. And yet, she could not put her finger on it... " Nyah..." she yawned, running a hand through her shortened hair, " What time is it Maxi..?" ((Eyah~~I'm sorry! crying I thought the guild was closed for OSW! sweatdrop ))
