Welcome to Gaia! ::

Leena narrowed her eyes further, doing her best not to let her anger show, one hand clenching at her side so tightly the knuckles were white. "He can't teleport within there. I could only get close and had to ride in the rest of the way." She snapped, not wanting to say anything more lest she give something away. She listened to him shout at Tuin, lowering her eyes to the ground as she forced her hands to relax, bowing her head. "Kantern..." When he addressed her, she looked up to him, her eyes finding his from beneath her hood. She took two steps towards him when he turned to leave, taking a deep breath once more. "Kantern. I wouldn't have come if she hadn't been forcing herself to sit up and try to leave. I know he knows what he's doing." She said softly, glad that the mask hid her expression, a hand hesitantly touching his shoulder from comfort. "I told you, I'm here on behalf of her. Selena would have come for sure if I didn't and that would have just made things take longer. I'm sorry..." She let her hand fall, lowering her eyes to the ground. "I know you did, I was there. No, if I follow after him, he'll get caught. I can't return to the princess either though. She's expecting me to be either pulling him back to Aras or watching his back. Both of which are almost impossible." She told him, knowing it wouldn't help any really.

Vadász fell still as he was about to pull the chord through the last two loops, moving after a moment. "What is normal?" He asked softly, winking to her as he moved so he could look at her, returning her kiss, his eyes briefly going past the mirror. He blushed as he lowered his eyes to what he was going, finishing what he was doing with the corset, then turning away from her. "No, normal men aren't 42 in a 17 year olds body with a 17 year old girlfriend." He chuckled a little, staring at the floor. "Maria had to force me to get over it too." He said softly, leaning on his knee's with a sigh.

"And this 17 year old prides herself on being different from everyone else and not being normal." Cori added, kissing his cheek before grabbing her clothes from the floor and going to the bathroom to change. She came back a minute later, sitting beside him. "What was she like? Maria?" she asked softly, watching him.

"Yes milord." Aki murmured, supressing a sigh as she left. She was tired of doing nothing, of all his attention being on Selena again. There had been a time when it wasn't, when he had been closer. easier to follow. But now she was better of staying in Cirith trying not to get killed and to kill her mother.

Cori smiled faintly, though her gaze dropped to her lap. "How long were you married?" she asked, having noticed him playing with the ring. She masked the sinking feeling, knowing she'd always be compared to her. And she couldn't even begin to amount to what Maria had been.

"You don't have to get rid of it." Cori said softly once he pulled back, giving him a very faint(forced) smile before she rested against him. "We keep doing this, don't we. Saying the wrong thing." she murmured, resting her head against his shoulder.

Cori smiled faintly after a moment, assuring herself that he meant it and wasn't simply saying it to help her. "Vadász," she murmured, looking up to him. When he looked to her she caught his mouth with her own, gently at first before she grew more passionate, deepening the kiss.

Kantern decided it best to allow Tuin to finish, watching him leave with relief. "He knows what he needs to," were the words that left his mouth under his breath, but he knew the elf's pet was too far off to hear him. Feeling the hand, his muscles tightened for a short moment. Kantern's eyes flashed at her words. Turning his head halfway to see her from the corner of one eye, he smirked. "I guess we're on our own then." Kantern, thoguh the chemistry geek he was, always wished he had more action in his life. Sniffing the air, his smirk never fell. "Demons, mmm, demons were never good with me. Dwarves, now dwarves are fun."

Roran was in a tree, a branch proding him on his backside. He had been trying to get the boy back to his tribe, but the Mothzards were too quick and stealthy. Even though he had lost them, however, a new prey was in his sights. It was a chained up falcon. The poor thing had tangled its chain around a few branches and was sitting there with only five feet of chain left. It's cooing had gron softer and softer as it called for help. Roran felt bad for the thing, but he needed to figure out a way of releasing it without being attacked by it. His arrows would be no good, the metal in the chain looked too strong. He couldn't expose himself either by climbing down and walking up to it. "How'd you get tangled up anyways?" he spoke to the bird whom he knew couldn't hear him, nor answer.

Eyeing the lock, he knew how to free the bird of the collar and chain, but he'd have to expose himself. Cursing under his breath, he was looking for a special weed. Kantern had taught him about this plant, and how if you pulled it out of the groun, and chopped it up so you were holding the base of the stem, you could pick locks with it. When he spotted one, he climbed down and knabbed it, using his teeth to chomp it down to the base of the stem. Crouching over to the bird, it began to freak when it saw him, flaspping it's wings and trying to fly away from him. It only got more tangled though, and soon couldn't move much. Roran used this oportunity to pick the lock. He was working as fast as he could, knowing he needed to conceal himself as soon as possible. Getting the lock undone, he was thanked by not recieving any pecks. Climbing the tree immediatly, he was safe once more. I'm gonna have trouble with this schedule.

Leena had listened to Tuin without a word, keeping her eyes lowered as she sighed lightly. She returned the nod before he ran off, fixing the mask around her face to be sure that it kept her hidden. The last thing they needed was her getting recognized. Looking up when she saw his head turn towards her, she nodded once, knowing it would be better if she hadn't come at all. "So it would seem... " She tilted her head a little as he sniffed the air, fingering another injection that she had on her at that moment. She wasn't quite weak enough to use it, but she definitely wasn't her best. Raising an eyebrow at the mention of dwarves, she chuckled a little, "Oh? Some refugee's visited Mereth once, and they were somewhat pleasant. They knew how to party, that was for sure." She murmured, leaning against a tree with a light sigh, refusing to show her fatigue. Now was not the time to rest, not the time for it. Nor did it really seem advisable.
