*Sierra yawns and wipes at her eyes with the back of a slender hand. The ledger she had wandered off to retrieve part way through the afternoon was overflowing with her personal notes that she would organize and neatly copy into her own spell books and journals.
Standing and stretching out, she gazes around the room and thinks about what to do next... she'd already taken care of the month's accounts and caught up in all the paperwork. Her persocons and staff were settling in the new members... Nobody was in the infirmary to tend to at the moment... the guild in all respects was quiet.
She should have been happy she supposed... thankful for the reprieve... but she wasn't. She liked to keep busy... Sighing she rakes her fingers through her silky crimson hair and chews her bottom lip. *
"What to do?..."
*She whispered so softly, the velvety whisper was almost inaudiable.*
"I could always go to the arena... or the gardens..."
*That caused the elven woman to shiver*
"No... It's still cold out for my liking and Gouken and Shin are at the arena... And neither of them will appreciate my being there. The fight they're waging is personal."
*With an exasperated sigh she sinks back down onto the couch, crossing slender arms lost in long draping sleeves over her chest. It was after midnight now and she curses softly in elvish.*

The door to the lounge opened silently and as Night stepped in, he heard Sierra swear, bringing a small smirk to his face as he closed the door behind him, his shoes softly sounding on the floor as he crossed the room
"Such words should not come from such beautiful lips m'lady."

*Sierra heard the door open but too late and she turned flashing golden eyes to her friend and protector. Her pale cheeks tinged crimson with a heated flush as she bit her lip in embarrasment before quickly regaining her composure.*
"My apologies Night-kun... How fare thee tonight my friend?"

He smiled at the blush he caused, for some reason it always amused to be able to make beautiful women blush by a simple compliment he believed to be true, and shook his head slightly
"No need to apologize. I'm not offended by such words, they do have a certain... soft sound in elvish and coming from you... Night-Kun? That's a new one."
He smirked and motioned to the seat on the couch beside her
"May I? And I am... I suppose slightly apprenhensive is the best way to put it. And you m'Lady, how are you this night?"

*She inclines her head slightly, musing over his words and laughs softly.*
"At least with the elven langauge curses sound like poetry to the naieve ear... And alas, my afinity for the ways of the Orient have given many friends and residents here nicknames they had never heard before... I find that using honorifics such as -chan and -kun are very simple and pretty ways of converying endearment though."
*She clears the clutter from the spot beside her, Setting the ledger with all it's notes and the book she had been reading studiously over on a table for the time being. Patting the seat and sitting back down she smiles softly, her gold eyes glittering from beneath dark, lacey lashes.*
"I'm well but bored and of course you may my friend. I'm glad to hear that you are not ill, but Apprehensive? What's nagging at your mind tomo dachi?"

He smirked and nodded to her as he took the seat beside her
"Indeed. And it's not all that strange, just new. I've been named Night-sama and Sir Night by a few so I can live with this one."
He rolled his neck with a slight crack and sighed heavily
"Well, the woman I'm with just had two children, mine, though somehow the boy wound up being two and a half months premature, so it's not certain if he'll live yet... I'm worried about screwing up as a father, I've screwed up with pretty much everything else I've tried so I don't see why I wouldn't screw this up, and just wondering if I belong there."

*Sierra smiles thoughtfully and her mind flicks through her own concerns. She had been raised as the prospective bride for the boy king of the elven nation millenia ago... instead she had defied the council who sought to control her and then kill her when she became a risk to their power. Even with the council destroyed and the survivors in hiding... Keilan had still been bessoted with her... instead of accepting his offer of marriage Sierra set out on a quest and began to purge their race of corruption like the council that had murdered her mother and the late king amongst countless others... She protected the new king but she did not give herself to him as he had wished and so when she had found her way to Gaia... he had remained without an heir. Briefly she wondered if he had wed yet...
... Then her mind flicked to thoughts of Lord Folken. The Dark elf and Necromancer she had been engaged too. Folken wasn't technically alive or dead and so producing children had been something they had put a lot of thought into... It was a very complicated spell she had written to allow them to bear offspring like a normal couple... But they had split up suddenly only a short time before their wedding and so she had remained childless.
Now she was engaged again... Gouken already had a daughter from his previous marriage with her friend Chalisty. Charity was a young woman now and Sierra saw little of her... Would Sierra and Gouken last? Would she mother his children? And if she did what would she do... she often faught little wars, quelling uprisings between enemy clans... She sparred and trained and she was always at risk of an assasination attempt should she be found by her enemies... Was it safe to concieve a child in this world of turmoil and danger?
Sighing softly she schools her face and grins at him cheerfully*
"You will be a fine father my dear... You have much to teach these younglings, and much love and protection to give them and your lady. With a caring person such as yourself for a father you will succeed as... contrary to what you may say... you do in most things. You are a very skilled individual my friend."

He laughed somewhat ruefully as he thought of what he was skilled at
"Such kind words, though I don't see them in myself... And about the only thing I'm good at is killing and everything related to that. Wonderful thing to pass onto a child..."
He sighed and rubbed his temples, not having gotten much sleep lately, which probably showed in the dark shadows under his eyes, then he looked at her thoughtful eyes
"I apologize if my question brought something back better left buried."

"Ahhh... but we are always our toughest critics. Your trade means that you must deal other's their death true... But in such a trade you must possess control, a sense of right and wrong... Do you kill others unjustly? No my friend you are virtuous. We are both tainted... but we are not evil. You can teach your children the values of life... respect for how quickly it can be ended, that it is a precious gift to be reveared and not thrown away. You can teach them the morals that have guided your own paths... You can teach them the lessons that you have learned from your mistakes. You can teach them to cherish, love and protect as you yourself cherish, love and protect... There is much you can teach them and they, in their infinite love for you will learn it all."
*She smiles brightly for the words she spoke were true and then laughing wistfully she adds.*
"And not burried my friend... very, very much above ground. You have no need to apologize... the things I reflected upon are with me always."

He looked at her as she spoke, and couldn't help but smile in reply
"Indeed we are our harshest critcs, and perhaps you are right, for I have not known many elven to lie. You are truly too kind to this simple warrior."
He nodded and kept his smile in reply to her next words, glad he didn't bring up anything he shouldn't have. He did not want to screw up this friendship like he had with so many others
"Well, I suppose I am glad that I did not cause you to remember anything you had buried. And I have noticed you carry a hidden burden of your own."

"Indeed... For an elf to lie is a sad thing. My kin never used to be capable of it, and the day that an elf learned to decieve was the first of many sad days for our race. However I'm not too kind, I merely state what I believe and speak of what I see."
*She twists a slender finger in her crimson hair and muses over the last part of what he said.*
"Mmmm, yes a few hidden burdens... perahps I shall tell you about them tomorrow 'eve or whichever night we next meet? I'm afraid for now I must take my leave of you."
*She smiles and raises gracefully to her feet. Extending her pale hands she clasps his larger ones and kisses him softly and chastely on either cheek before releasing him.*
"Shiyu'ar'in'esht'ia my friend."
*With her words of parting she exits the room silently and heads to the third floor and her private chambers which she now shared with her fiance.*

He nodded in agreement to what she said
"A sad day when all races learn to be deceitful."
Smiling at her, he gives her hands a gentle squeeze as he stands with her, not so much towering over her as most he knew, though still leaning down slightly when she kisses him on the cheeks, causing them to redden slightly. He had never learned to hide it very well, and could never figure out why whenever some beautiful woman kissed him, it caused him to blush
"I would quite like that... And I wish the same to you. I thank you for taking the time to listen to this warriors complaining. Good night m'lady. Rest well."
After a few more moments, he left the room himself, closing the door behind him and seeming to fade into the shadows as if he was nothing more than one

*poofles into the room as she spots sierra, bounding over to her she jumps onto her shoulders as a piece of pocky dangles from her mouth, swining down she hangs up side from Sierra's arm as she smiles lightly.*

*Sierra had re-entered the lounge earlier that day and had been studying. Taking a break and getting out a package of pocky she offered some to the child who was running around the room playing, her strange dolls seemingly crying. This bothered the elf because she would swear that she could detect the dolls emitting ki... a life energy of their own! She would observe the girl and the strange dolls she decided.*
"Here little one, would you like some pocky?" 3nodding
*She smiles as she slips a stick between her own lips. Suddenly her younger sister appears out of nowhere, first jumping up on the elf demon's shoulders and then hanging acrobatically from her arm. Blinking and easily supporting her sister's weight Sierra smiles back at her and pets her head with her free hand.*
"Konbanwa imouto..." heart
