Lin smiled when Ambrose opened the door. She was wearing a long, soft pink flowing dress with long sleeves and had her hair in its natural style, with no spells. It was wavy and light brown.  She did a quick check of how Ambrose seemed to look at her. Were Dymetri and Danni right about him having a crush on her? Did he like her? No! He wasn't looking at her in any special way, other than extreme happiness. She attributed that to being in the Elven home, though. You couldn't be here and NOT be extremely happy. There was no singing right now because all the Elves that singed throughout the day were either busy getting their families ready for the day right now or they were meditating. "Hello Ambrose. I did not sleep this past night. It is hard for me to sleep when I am finally back home." It wasn't a complete lie. It was very true what she said, but it just didn't apply to last night. She stepped back from the front door so that Ambrose could come out. "Are you ready?"

Well damn. Would ya look at that...His mind went blank for a moment as he looked at her, and once more the full impact of her looks set in and he needed a couple seconds to remember that yes, he did know how to reply like a civilized gentleman.
Stepping out after her, he pulled the door shut and nodded. "Yes, I'm looking forward to it. Tell me, when does your father wish to speak with me?" He asked, remembering he was supposed to talk with the man today.

Lin had seen her father when she had come in this morning, and she had asked him when he'd like to meet with Ambrose.
"1 PM would be best for him. Lunch is at noon, where we'll have it with the rest of the family by the fountain where the party was last night. An outdoor picnic is my favorite way to eat a meal. Is 1 fine with you as well?"
She started walking down the ramp that led up to her house and the guest house.

"Yes, of course. That would be just fine." He said, and followed Lin as she began walking.

Lin smiled, nodded. She turned to the right again after walking a few steps down the previous ramp and then led Ambrose up another 3 ramps. The final ramp led to a large square that was made up of the leafy tops of tall trees. She then gestured to an even taller tree that was in the middle of the top-most tier of the Elven home. Many Elves were gathered around the tree, doing various different chores. Some women were crushing herbs in pestles for future recipes, children were making necklaces with gorgeous stones or climbing the large tree, and some men were simply standing around, talking about the party last night.
"This is our square. We come here to do our various chores in the mornings or just to meet and socialize with each other. This is the square for every-day events while the square we were at last night with the fountain is for parties and celebrations."
She smiled proudly at him and tilted her head in the direction of the tree behind her. "And that is the oldest tree in this forest. It was here before our first settlers were here. We protect it with our lives."

"Serpent, how do you plan to deal with the other siblings should they be in the same condition as this one? If need be I will kill them, and I would hope you're intelligent enough to allow me to strike down what is essentially a violent rag doll."
He stared around, and it hit him.
"Where the hell is Enlil! How could you let him out of your sight? He's more than likely been hanged out front by now if Krauser got ahold of him!"

"Ok, fine, fine, I made a mistake! Or two, or three, or four hundred..." Ophiuchus added under his breath. He pointed to the half-dissolved heavy door that Krauser had left through, and Nathan followed. "They went that way."

Ambrose stared in wonder at the things going on around him, gazed respectfully at the tree. Something Lin would give her life to protect. If she'd do such for a tree, how would she act when it was an actual human? Devotion and pride in her heritage. Two things he found to love about her once more.

Two large and nearly insectoid black appendages burst from his back with a violent upheaval of flesh. The spiny protrusions bent over his shoulders and slammed into the door. With both spikes impaled deeply in the steel, the appendages wrenched backwards and brought the door down with a massive thud that shook the floor.
"Well then oh glorious god of light and love, do lead on."

"Well then, I think I will." Ophiuchus crossed his arms behind his back, and daintily stepped onto the door, walking across it. He was being silly, but he still kept a fast pace. "Lessee... I smell him.... this direction." Ophi began to walk towards wherever Nathan was. He was like a bloodhound, except, well, a snake instead.

"Feh." was all that escaped from Riser as he watched his opposite stroll foolishly across the felled door. "So you're a pit viper now too?" He muttered as he watched the man sniffing about, sensing the air. "What are the true constraints of your abilities oh rival of mine?"

((You have NO idea how much I want to quote Xellos from Slayers now. "Sore wa himitsu desu!"/"That is a secret!"))
"If I told you that, all the fun would go away," Ophiuchus remarked. Besides, Riser already knew how to kill him - permanently. That was more information than Ophiuchus ever wanted to reveal. But honestly... Ophiuchus never took the opportunity to stretch his powers to their fullest extent. Not in hundreds of years, at least.
((Hey man, this is your time to shine. All I know is that Nathan followed Krauser - I don't know where Krauser is and hell, I don't even know the layout of the building.))

"Enlil you worthless scum, I've had damned more than enough of your ridiculous antics!"
Wherever Krauser was, a shot rang out in the darkness and just missed Nathan. Shot after shot, it was impossible to tell if the old man couldn't see, or if he was merely toying with Nathan's mind in the dark.

Toying, that was working. Nathan was lying flat on the floor with his hands over his head, hoping not to get shot. So far, so good. None of the bullets had hit him. One came near, and Nathan could feel the dragonscale pendant heat up and quiver. Oh, he hoped it wouldn't actually have to get used...

Night nodded looking into the forests. "Alright we're hunting three demons ... three very annoying demons, Your white magic will be useful against them if they don't try any of their little demonic tricks Which won't work on me." His gaze scanned the dense forests looking at seemingly nothing, but the three's demonic energy was like a bonfire in the darkness to night. "They're somewhere in the woods, likely they're meeting place with their boss or something ... you ready slick?"
