Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar (( December 23, 2004 ))
Lenore leads Damien by the hand through the crowds in Gambino. There is a lovely ice cream shop that she promised to take Damien to.
She is still a little uneasy over her conversation with Rinon just four days ago. And distracted. She is half-listening to the observations of Damien, and is oblivious to Krista's chatter.
"Mum," Damien says, tugging on her hand. "Isn't that the ice cream shop?"
Lenore stops, and looks back. Yes, she had passed it. Smiling appologetically at Krista, Damien, and Tinania, she says, "I'm sorry. My mind seems to have left me. Let's get out of the snow, then, shall we?" she asks, placing a hand on her son's back and ushering him forward. She looks back at Krista, waiting for her and her "neice" to follow. Krista DarkAngel Krista smiles as she walks inot the ice cream shop, pulling her hood off, she looked to the giggling Tinania " Mommy too cold..." she shivers wrapping her arms around her mother neck. Krista kisses Tinania cheek and smiles " I know sweetie, but were out of the cold so you should warm up." She takes Tinania hood off then places her in a chair before looking to Lenore " Hey Lenore are you okay.....?" Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Damien sits next to Tinania. "You want to use my cloak? It can be a blanket for you. I'm not that cold," he offers, smiling at her.
Lenore smiles a little. "I'm fine. I just have a lot on my mind. . . ." she says, looking out the window a moment.
Then, she turns back to the others. "Orders, people, so the mums can go and get your ice cream," she says, looking at Krista. The question 'Do you feel comfortable leaving Damien to watch 'Nania' clearly in her eyes.
"French vanilla, please," Damien asks, politely. Krista DarkAngel Krista arched a brow the nods looking to Tinania " You want strawberry sweetie..." she smiles and fixes Tinania hair as she looks to damien. Tinania nods " Starberry yes please..." she looks to Damien and smiles " Blanket yes please...." she holds her hands out towards her cousin. Krista stands and looks to lenore and smiles " You know Tinania gotten to the point where she understand almost everything we say..." she steps away from the table heading towards the counter only to wait for lenore. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Damien wraps his cloak around Tinania before sitting down again. "Warmer?" he asks.
Lenore smiles back at Krista. "She's getting brighter by the day, then?" she asks. "They grow far too quickly. . . ."
She looks back toward the window, more on alert this outing because Damien is with her. She sees a flash of bluish-silver hair and tenses. You're jumping to conclusions, she thinks. Rinon is not the only one with that hair in Gaia. . . .
She joins Krista at the counter, and tells the man Damien's order, eyeing the pistachio ice cream longingly. Krista DarkAngel Krista nods " That they do, hopefully Tinania won't grow as fast as Aylana did...." she orders for Tinania then looks at the ice cream " So what bugging you, and don't tell me nothing because I've lived at Emerald Haven long enough to knwo something is wrong...." she looks back up at lenore before looking back down at the ice cream Tinania hugs the cloak close and smiles " Thank you..." she looks around then back to Damien " Why so cold?" her wings her fluttering fast because she was still alittle cold. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "Here's hoping then," Lenore replies to the growing comment.
Then, she sighs. "An elf stopped me a few days ago, when I was shopping for some gifts for Nyoka.He claimed to be my brother - well, I suppose he would be my half brother. Anyway, he said that my mother wanted to see me. When I told him I wouldn't go with him, he said he would bring her to me," she shakes her head. "He's a lying idiot anyway. If someone wants to see someone, they don't wait amost twenty one years to do it, right?" she asks.
Damien looks at Tinania thoughtfully. "Well, I read that it is one of nature's ways of balancing everything out. You see, sometimes, things need to . . . sleep," he starts, thinking sleep a better word than die. "In order to survive. Winter is a season where the earth is sleeping. Then, in a few months, spring will come, and wake everything up with rain. You'llsee pretty flowers blooming, and the trees waking up." Krista DarkAngel Krista thought for a moment before turning back to her " It could be possiable, never know, I mean aren't you alittle curious about your mother...I know I would want to knwo why my mother left me with a family I hate..." her eyes flashed with angry then she shook it off as the waiter handed her Tinania " Oh peppermint for me please" the waiter nods and works on hers. Tinania thinks then smiles " I undertand, like going to bed....." she giggles and claps her hands, she seemed alittle happier now that she was warming up. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "I used to be," Lenore admits. "But I am happy now. I don't need her coming round and mucking my life up."
"Yes," Damien smiles. "You need sleep to live., and so do I and our families. So, this is nature's bed time."
Lenore smiles to the man when he hands her Damien's ice cream. "An'thin' fer you?" he asks.
"No, I'm quite alright, thank you," Lenore says.
When she turns around, her eyes fall on Rinon. She narrows her eyes at him when she sees a frail, malnourished-looking elf woman leaning heavily on him. Her pale blonde, curly locks still shine brilliantly, but her deep purple eyes seem dead. She has dark circles under her eyes, along with bags, and a sunken look to her cheeks.
There is no mistaking her for who she is, though. She has the same heavy-lidded eyes as Lenore, and the same lips. Had she been healthier, Lenore is sure that the woman would have the same facial-structure.
Clenching her teeth, she ignores the pair, and starts back for the table, not even waiting for Krista.
The woman's purple eyes follow Lenore as they fill with tears. A mixture of happiness and sorrow is found in their depths. She clings to Rinon. Krista DarkAngel Krista took her ice cream and Tinania and smiled to the waiter, as she turned around she smiled to them both before walking back over and placing Tinania ice cream. Tinania squeels and picks up her spoon and starts eatiing it slowly. Krista giggles then looks up at lenore as she eats her ice cream " Um....Lenore....." she looks back then looks back to Lenore " Hey Lenore what wrong?" Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar The muscle in Lenore's jaw tenses and untenses as she holds back her anger at Rinon following her yet again.
Damien's spoon stops midway to his mouth when he looks up at his mum. He's never seen her quite this angry. . . .
"Nothing," Lenore manges, taking a deep breath to compose herself.
Rinon, on the other hand, is helping the waif of a woman over to the table that Lenore and her family are occupying. When he reaches it, he can feel an icy sort of anger spilling out of Lenore.
"Get her away from me," Lenore says in elven, keeping her face stoic.
"She wants to see you," Rinon says, the offense on his face again. "Do you not know to respect your elders?"
She waves her hand at the last comment and looks straight at Rinon. "She has seen me, she can leave now. I am with my family, I don't need you around right now, ruining my day."
A strangled, soft sob escapes the tired woman's lips and she looks away from Lenore, clinging tighter to Rinon.
"You can appologize, right now," Rinon says.
"And you two can leave. Good-day" Lenore says, looking away from them and back at Damien, offerring him a small smile. "Eat your ice cream, Damien," she says, as though nothing has happened.
Rinon does not move. Krista DarkAngel Krista eyes widen and her jaw dropped just alittle, for once she wish she didn't understand elven. She looks to Lenore " Lenore..." Tinania keeps eating her ice cream but only stops when she looks at her auntie and her mother, she pouts looking at her auntie. " Aunie mad...." she pouts even more. Krista looks at Tinania and smooths out her hair " Its okay little princess Auntie just thinking that all..." she looks back at Lenore really concern right now as she looks at her brother. "Please.....she doesn't wish to be bothered can you just leave us alone..."Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "She needs to reselve this sooner or later," Rinon says, looking at Krista with his deep blue eyes so like a starry night sky.
Lenore simply sighs, and ignores them again. She smiles at Tinania. "Auntie isn't mad, darling. How do you like your ice cream?" she asks her.
Meanwhile, the woman is looking at Lenore again with her large purple eyes. "You've changed your hair, Lenore," she says in a soft, thin voice. "You had hair like Rinon's when you were born. It was so beautiful. . . ."
Lenore looks at the woman, but continues to remain quiet.
She studies Lenore some more. Finally, with a shuddering breath, she sys. "We are staying in Gambino, close to the bank," her english flawless. "Just ask for Mrs. Alasseo Isilme, should you wish to speak to me, Lenore." Her eyes are filled with tears again when she looks up at Rinon. "I am tired. Please take me home so that I may rest."
Rinon nods. He sends an angry glare at Lenore before helping Alasseo out of the parlor.
"Who were they, mum? They knew your name," Damien asks, setting his spoon in his dish.
"No one important," Lenore says, smiling again. "Alright, we came to have fun. Let's get to it. Eat up your ice cream, and then I can teach you to make snowmen, and angels, in the Barton feild." Krista DarkAngel Krista watched them leave then looked to Lenore, she had a sadden look in her eyes but shook it awhile as Tinania giggles. She looks over at Tinania to see not only had she finished eating, but she was covered in it. " I think you got your answer Lenore..." she laughs as she wipes Tinania face off. Krista shook her head trying to block those eyes out of her mind, she smiles and looks to lenore "So that was your brother....and your really a silver blond...."Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Damien grins at Tinania. "'Nani, how can you enjoy your ice cream if you have it all over your face," he teases, poking her noselightly.
Lenore smiles at their exchange. The smile falters a little when Krista starts to speak in elven again. "It's more like Rinon's. It's a silver, tinted blue. . . . I keep it dyed, though," she admits. "Why?" Krista DarkAngel Krista smiles at the two kids exchange then looks back to Lenore "No reason hun, just learn something that is all..." she smiles then eats some more of her ice cream. Tinania giggles and sticks her tongue at Damien " Its fun....food fun to play wih..." she looks at her messy hands then holds them out to damien. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Lenore sighs, tugging on herlong, green hair and looking down at the table top.
Damien shakes his head. "Do you want me to clen your hands, 'Nani?" he asks, grabbing up a napkin. Krista DarkAngel Tinania nods " Yes please..." she keeps them held out towards him as ice cream drips from her fingers. She giggles and smiles then hiccups. Krista smirks and bites her bottom lip and blushes before finishing her ice cream, she smiles and stands " Be right back, I'm gonna see if they have an hot chocolate...." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "can you bring some for Damien, Krista? I'll give you the gold when you get back," Lenore calls after Krista. She frowns, wondering what that last play of facial dancing was about.
Damien moves out of the way of the dripping ice creram before it can drop on his expensive pants. Smiling crookedly, he goes about cleaning his cousin's hands. Once done, he leans back, putting on a proud face and puffing out his chest. "All clean!" he declares. Krista DarkAngel Krista walks up to the counter and orders two hot chocolate's, she hums to the music playing over the radio, as she pushes her hair back from her face. She looks over some of the bake good and smile wondering if she should get some or not. Tinania giggles and copies her cousin as she puffs her chest out and shows her auntie her hands " All cean!!!" Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Lenore smiles warmly at Tinania. "Yes, you are. You look like a little fairy princess now," she says.
Rinon comes back into the ice cream parlor, and walks purposefully to the table Lenore and co. are seated, pulling a chair along with him. He plaves it next to Lenore and sits down.
She only glances at him, her anger not rising this time. "You shouldn't be here," she says.
"What are you doing? You hurt her deeply just now," Rinon says.
"I warned you," Lenore says simply, shrugging.
It seems the calmer Lenore gets, the angrier Rinon gets. He doesn't show it though. Krista DarkAngel Krista shrugs and orders thee chocolate chip cookies. Smiling she paids for the cookies and hot chocolate. Picking up the drink she carries them in one hand and the plate of cookies in another. She stops in her tracks her eyes widens as she see Lenore brother was back again. Rolling her eyes she walks back over and places the plate down " I thought we could have some cookies also...." she hands Damien his drink " Here you go sweetie..." Tinania giggles and reaches for a cookie and hands it to her mother as Krista sits down sips her drink. She smiles to tinania and breaks off a piece of the cookie and hands it to Tinaia before looking back to Lenore and her brother listening to them. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "Thank you, Aunt Krista," Damien says, eyeing Rinon a little warily.
Seeming to calm himself, he looks across the table at Krista. "We did not meet properly before. My name is Rinon Isilme, Lenore's brother."
Lenore glances at the cookie, suddenly feeling a little hungry. She smells the blood inside Rinon, and has to shake her head to clear it of the fog. She takes hold of her senses, slips a vial out of her cloak pocket, and uncorks it. She hastily drains the contents.
When she is done, she slips the corked vial back into her cloak pocket and looks at Rinon. "I still don't believe you," she says.
"And I don't know how to prove to you that what I am saying is the truth," he says, before looking back at krista and extending his hand to accompany his introduction from earlier. Krista DarkAngel Krista smiles to Damien then her daugther before looking to Rinon as he spoke to her in elven, she pushes her hair back from her face and takes his hand "Callista DarkAngel....but everyone calls me Krista, pleasure to meet you Rinon..."Tinania looks to her mother and tilts her head alittle " Mommy who he?" Krista shakes her head and looks back to Tinania and smiles " This is Rinon..." Tinania waves her hand and smiles before going back to her cookie. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "Likewise, Krista," Rinon says. He then turns to Lenore. "Are you going to introduce me to my nephew? Your friend seems to think I am safe enough to introduce to her child."
Lenore sighs, and looks at Damien. He is staring at Rinon curiously. Shaking her head, she says, "Damien, this is Rinon."
Rinon inclines his head to Damien, just as Damien does the same."Is he a friend?" Damien asks.
"No, not really," Lenore answers.
"You'll be seeing more of me around, Damien," Rinon says.
"Not at my home we won't. You couldn't find it even if I took you there," Lenore shrugs. "I'll be back." With that, she stands and goes to the back of the parlor.
Raising his eyebrows, he looks over at Krista. "Lenore and you are married, are you not? Not to each other, I mean to men. You do not take them on family outtings?" he asks.
Damien has to hold in a laugh as he looks outside the window. Krista DarkAngel Krista eyes widen and she almost choked on her drink, she looked at Rinon and shook her head " No Sorry I'm not married....I'm too young to be married right now.....I mean I just turned 22..." she blushes and coughs alittle beat red now. Tinania looks to Damien then looks outside to see snowflakes falling. " What are those?" Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "Those are snowflakes, Nani," Damien starts. "It is a sort of. . . . ice rain."
"But, you are nottoo young for children?" Rinon asks, completely confused. In his society, this young half-elf wouldn't even be out of the home yet, let alone have children.
Lenore still stays well away. She is studying her apparent brother, though. And the reactions that her dear friend is having to him. Krista DarkAngel Krista laughs as she sips her drink " In this city the girls as young as 15 having children Rinon...." she places her drink down and brushes her hair back from her face " Okay I'm getting this hair cut after the hoilday, its driving me crazy..." Tinania looks at Damien then looks back out the window " Ice rain....oooh" Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Rinon looks truly astonished now. "Well," he manags to say after clearing his throat. "I suppose as long as society deems it appropriate. . . ."
He then looks at Krista appraisingly. "I don't think you should cut it" he says. "Longer hair is more flattering on a woman."
Rolling her eyes, Lenore walks back over to the table. Just what she needs, her best friend falling for some nut claiming to be her brother.
She looks over at Damien and Tinania, and smiles a little. "If you two get bundled up, and if Krista says it is alright, I can take the both of you out to play in the snow for a little bit," she offers. She really just wants to get away from Rinon. Krista DarkAngel Krista blushes alittle then cough as Lenore reappears, she looks to the kids then smiles " Yea you two ready to go play in the snow?" she bites her bottom lip, she was really hoping to get to know Rinon some more. Aside from Eirnae and Lenore she didn't know many other elves. Tinania claps her hand then looks to Damien " Hwlp please?" she holds her jacket sleeve out toward him. Krista smiles then looks to Rinon before sighing " Um well, I guess we will see you later....." she pulls on her own coat as she thinks to herself "Oh please come with us...."Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Damien nods and helps Tinania into her jecket. He then slips into his cloak and glances at his mum and then Rinon. "Is he coming, then?" he asks when he sees Rinon stand.
Lenore has never wanted to yell at Damien, or glare at him at all. But, she is suddenly overwhelmed with the childish urge to do both to him. Compromising, she only shrugs. "I'll meet whomever is joining us outside," she says before throwing her cloak over her shoulders, pulling the hood down so that her face is covered in shadow, and striding out of the door.
Damien's eyes follow his mum, and he fidgets a little nervously. He then looks up at Rinon with his intelligent eyes. "Mum didn't say you couldn't come. Will you join us?" he asks.
Rinon smiles warmly to Damien. "Of course. That is, if the ladies do not object," he says respectfully, inclining his head first to Tinania, and then to Krista. Krista DarkAngel Krista picks up the giggling Tinania and places her hood over her head then looks to Rinon. She smiles " I don't see why not, if Damien is fine with it then so am I...." she looks to nephew and smiles " Would you like to take hold Tinania for me?" Tinania reaches for Damien and makes grabby hands at him " Damien!!!" Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Damien nods and happily takes Tinania off of Krista's hands. "Come on, we can go and build a little snowman. It will be fun," he says as he leaves the parlor.
Rinon bows to Krista. "After you," he says, a small smile on his lips. Krista DarkAngel Krista smiles and pulls her hood over her head as she places her hands in her pockets. She looks up at tthe snow as it snows, she felt at peace like when she was young. Tinania squeels and hugs Damien " Yay snawman!!!" Krista laughs then looks to Rinon " You have an interesting name, what does it mean if you don't mind me asking?" Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar When Damien and Tinania are outside, Lenore moves from the shadows. "Come, I'll take you to the park across the street. There is more snow over there," She grins at Tinania and hold her hands out to her. "Can I hold my neice?"
Rinon looks at Krista and smiles. "It means crown. My last name is an old one meaning moonlight. Our family is one of the oldest family. We are not royalty, or even overly rich," he looks away, his eyes following Lenore. "Does your name mean anything?" Krista DarkAngel Tinania makes grabby hands at her auntie " Aunti hold me!!!" she giggles then huggles Damiens before holding her hands out to her Auntie again. Krista looks at them then looks back to Rinon " Callista...I was never told what its meant.....I really don't know much about the elvish side of me.....I lived with my father who was human...." she looks down at the snow as the wind ruffles her hair around in her face. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Lenore plucks Tinania up and throws her up into the air, before catching her again. "Alright, then, let's get away from the rubbish and go play in the snow then." She then grabs Damien's hand and pulls him along after her as she hurries across the street. Once there, she sits right in the snow and starts to tryand teach Tinania how to roll the snow in her hands. "It's cold, mind you, Nania. But it will be fun," she warns. Damien is used to the snow by now, as thee is snow on the grounds of home, save 'round the koi pond, where the temperature is magically moderated.
Rinon nods. "I suppose that would be very different, then. But, I will not inquire after your family. I sense you might not like them very much. . . .?" Krista DarkAngel Tinania squeels and pouts pulling her hands away from the snow " Too cold..." she wrinkles her nose up and crosses her hands over her chest. Krista looks at him there was a brief sadness in her eyes that disappears. " My family...they disowned me awhile ago...but who cares I have a great family now...I don't need them..." she was lying, as much as she hated her father he was still her father. Krista holds her hand out as some snowflakes land on her fingers, she smiles then looks to Rinon, her cheeks were a rose color now. " The only thing I know about my evlish side is my name Callista, its my mother name..." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "You get used to it, Nani," Damien says, already having made three snowballs. "It's fun."
"He's right, Nania," Lenore agrees. "After you get used to the cold, you have great fun. You can make snow balls, and then throw them at each other. It is kind of a fighting game, only no one gets hurt, because snow is so soft.
Rinon nods. "I think I understand," he says. "Well, have you ever thought of looking for your mother? Or going to learn more about your elven side?" he asks. Krista DarkAngel Tinania looks at Damien then her Aunti still pouting then places her hands in the snow and lifts some into her hands, she squeels and sends it flying right at her aunti. Krista smiles picking up some snow and packing into a snowball " Yea all the time, but I hardly have time...with Tinania....and the rest of the family....I don't even know if she's alive...." she walks up closer to Rinon and with a wicked smile and pulling at his shirt she dumps the snow foward into his shirt. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Lenore chuckles, and takes the sleeve of her cloak and wipes the snow from her face. She has abandoned her glasses, not needing them anymore, so she need not worry about them. "There's the spirit," she says, before grabbing up a handful of snow and throwing it at Damien.
Damien grins almost wickedly, a first for him, and starts to make a rather large snowball.
Rinon's dark, starry-blue eyes widen and he hastily unbuttons his tunic. He pulls at the fine, white, button-up undershirt, and starts shaking out the snow.
He shivers a little and looks over at Krista, still a bit shocked. Finally, tunic still unbuttoned, and his undershirt soaked in the front, he bends down and grabs up some snow. He doesn't bother packing it, he only throws it in Krista's direction, smiling a little wider than before. Krista DarkAngel Tinania giggles and lifting more snow with her hands she lets it fly at Damien, she giggles and claps her hands together then sticks her tongue at Damien. Krista gasps and laughs and lunges at Rinon pulling him down into the snow with herself, trying to pin him in the snow. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Damien shakes his head to get the snow out of his hair, mussing it. He then takes a little bit of snow and tosses is at Tinania, mindful of her face, and sure to only have it hit her coat. He then takes the large snowball, laughing the whole time, and smashes it on top of Lenore's head.
"Fair play, Damen," Lenore teases her son. "I have a child in my arms!"
Damien just laughs more, before going about making collecting up his snowballs.
Rinon is caught off guard, and falls back, throwing his arm out to break his fall. He lands with an oof and a gasp. He's not used to women behaving in such a way. Still, he finds his more 'childish' side coming to light, and he powders Krista with snow, in a not-so-physical attempt to get her off of him. Krista DarkAngel Tinania squeels and tosses more snow into the air with her hands then shakes her head as it all lands on herself. She looks up at her Aunti and makes a funny face at her. Krista laughs and pins him with her legs and picks up some snow and drops it on his face then leans down inches from his face " Lighten up Rinon you might find out you can learn to have fun...." she sits up and pushes her hair from her face smiles. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Lenore sticks her tongue out at Tinania, only to have her son throw a snowball in her face. She spits the snow out and grins at her son."Now you've done it. Watch this, Nania," she says. With a flourish, Lenore takes her wand from her corset and waves it at the snow. It starts balling itself up ad pelting at Damien.
"No fair, mum!" Damien exclaims, laughing all the while. "I can't do magic!"
Lenore just laughs as she sends more snow at her son, who is now rolling on the ground and giggling.
Rinon watches as Krista stands up. "I know how to have fun," he says, standing gracefully, and snapping his tunic, to shake the snow off, and to get the wrinkles out. "I just don't have the habit of rolling in the snow with women, that's all." Then, he looks at Krista appraisingly. "What is your idea of fun? I've heard human women, or those raised as human, like to shop. . . ." Krista DarkAngel Tinania giggles and reaches for her aunti wand " MINE!!!!" she reaches out with both hands trying to free herself of her aunti's hands. Krista brushes herself off then looks at him arching a brow " Maybe for some women they like shopping, but I cannot stand shopping. I like being in the forest or swimming. Sometimes just curling up by the fireplace with a book also...those are the things I like to do...." she walks up to him and brushes some of the snow out of his hair and smiles. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Lenore raises her eyebrows, and puts her wand back in her corset. "No, Nania. hat's for grown ups," Lenore says, smiling at her.
Damien watches, grinning a little. So, he isn't the only one interested in his mum's wand. . . .
Rinon is still as Krista brushes the snow off of his hair. "Thank you," he says, pushing a stray strand of his bangs out of his face. "Those are better interests, I must agree. I like swimming as well," he says. "Swimming when the moon is out. The night is my element. Are there any places to swim around Gaia?" he pauses a moment. "Let me rephrase that. Are there any places suitable for people to swim in around here?" he says, smiling in good humor. Krista DarkAngel Tinania pout and sticks her lip out then picks up more snow and tosses it at Damien. She giggles and claps her hands. She sneezes and wrinkles her nose up then looks at her aunti. Krista smiles and looks around " Yea there are some really nice places. The waterfall in the forest, then there always the beach at the edge of barton...But I don't think you would want to freeze...." she pokes him lightly in the side then smiles " Ah another night person....must run in your family....I'm a night person also....I love looking up at the sky and watchin the stars..." she looks at him and smiles then standing on her tiptoes she ruffles his hair and laughs. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "Nania, would you like to go back inside?" Lenore asks.
"I suppose I wouldn't want to freeze," Rinon smiles. He moves away fro the hand mussing his hair and starts to smooth it again, lookin at Krista out of the corner of his eyes. "The night sky is the best sky there is," he agrees. "I am more of a moon person, though. I suppose that runs in my blood," he says, pushing his blue-tinted silver hair back behind his shoulders. He looks over at Lenore, Damien, and Tinania. "How long have you known Lenore, if I might ask?" Krista DarkAngel Tinania nods and curls close to her aunti, she was shivering alittle. She wasn't use to the cold yet. She looks around and smiles " Snaw nce but cold...." Krista leans against the lightpole and smiles looking towards her family " I've known her since school, we went to the same school. We weren't close friends in school, it was when our daugther became friends that we became friends. She almost like a sister to me now..." she places her hands in her pockets and shivers alittle but brushes it off. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "Alright, up you get, both of you. Do you want to go home?" Lenore asks.
Rinon nods, watching the family with interest. "I know who her father is, and I can understand why she wouldn't want to believe me. I just want to get to know her better. And for my mother to get to know her better as well. Evenif she does not believe it, my mother loves her. The day she gave her up, I lost a large part of my mother as well. . . ." he shakes his head, smiling. "It's silly. I barely know you and I am unloadng all of this on you. . .." Krista DarkAngel Tinania nods and curls even closer to her Aunti " yes please....." she sneezes again and wrinkles her nose up. Krista smiles and blushes alittle " I seem to do that with everyone I know, I guess I'm just easy to talk to...I always listen to people..." she pushes off the light pole and looks at him " You just got to give Lenore a chance to take it all in, believe me when I say she just confused right now..." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "Alright, let's go and get your mum," Lenore says.
Rinon nods. He opens his mouth to say something, but it is then that Lenore appears beside them. She ignores Rinon completely. "Tinania wants to go home. I think it is a good idea, I would rather not have the kids catch their death out here," she tells Krista, in an oddly tense voice.
Finally, she looks at Rinon. "Don't bother following us. I'll be back in town later, and I will speak to you and your mother then."
She then turns to Krista expectantly.
Rinon inclines his head to Lenore, and then Krista. "I will see you then," he says, though he does not leave just yet. "It was nice meeting you, Krista, and you young Damien and Tinania." Krista DarkAngel Krista frowns at her friends then looks to Tinania and smiles " Sweetie could you go with your Aunti please, mommy hasn't finish talking to Rinon yet..." Krista looks right up at Lenore " I'll catch up to you three okay...." Tinania nods the hides her face against the wind looking up at her Aunti " We go home now?" she gives a pout looking hoping they would be going home right now. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Lenore mentally groans. Please gods, if you have ANY love for me, don't have my best friend fall in love with this fool! she prays. Rather than saying anything, she just holds Tinania tighter, grabs up Damien's hand, and then disappears with the both of them.
Rinon looks at the spot Lenore was standing, before returning his gaze to Krista. He looks at her, an eyebrow raised inquiringly as he puts his hands behind his back.

Posted: Fri Feb 11, 2005 5:15 am
Krista DarkAngel Krista looks at Rinon and smiles and laughs " A spell we learned back at school, really simple really...." she blushes then pushes her hair back from her face before looking around. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Rinon nods, and looks around as well. "Well, perhaps we should get in out of the cold. Do you know of a place that would have any good, elven wine? Or are there any here? I am unfamiliar with this place. . . ." Krista DarkAngel Krista smiles and thinks for a moment before nodding " I know a local inn that has elven wine, we can go there..." she leans and takes his hand and walks across the field heading toward the other side of town. She smiles spotting the sign "The Lucky Charm Inn" she looks at him " Don't mind the crowed in here, its always busy...." she pushes the door open and steps inside. There was laughter all around as she pulled Rinon toward a table that was away from the noise. She laughs and smiles " They have the best elven wine here along with the best food..." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Rinon is a little taken aback at the sudden tugging, but he allows it.
Once seated, he smiles. "Good. A good glass of wine s just what is needed in weather like this. Do you have any recommendations on what to eat?" Krista DarkAngel Krista smiles " Um....lets see.....well what do you like to eat....." she smiles as a waitress walks up. She orders to elven wine then looks back to Rinon " I mean they have salad, soup, streak...." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "I suppose a salad would be best," Rinon says. "I like a lot of nuts on my salad, though. And berries. Is that possible here?" He really doesn't know anything about this city. He has basically spent all of his time taking care of his mother, especially since her strength started draining because she was taking poor care of herself. Krista DarkAngel Krista smiles and nods as the waitress walks back up placing there elven wine glasses down then pulling out her pad and looking to Krista " Two salads please, his with lots of berries and nuts, and mine with strawberries, and blueberries..." the waitress nods and walks off towards the kitchen as Krista looks to Rinon. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Rinon sits back, unsure of what he should do. Finally, after removing his tunis all together, it is too hot in the inn for velvet, he rests his elbows on the table and steeples his finders. "So, Krista. . . . Tell me more of yourself." Krista DarkAngel Krista pulls off her jacket only to have on a pink sweater, she pulls her curly red brown hair up into a ponytail forgetting about her tattoo that she alway hide with her hair and smiles " Well what would you like to know Rinon...." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Rinon studies the tattoo, descreetly though. "Well, anything you are willing to tell me," he says. "Maybe you could start with the tattoo? I don't mean to offend, but does it mean anything?" Krista DarkAngel Krista blushes and touches the tattoo " Other then that i was born with it, I don't know really anything about it..." she looks away " My father told me I was cursed and that I was to hide in because it look digusting....." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "It sounds like your father is a disgusting man," Rinon says. "Well, tell me about your current family? What is your home like? Things like that. . . ." Krista DarkAngel Krista couldn't help but laugh at Rinon comment about her father. She smiles and leans foward placing her elbows on the table. " Well My oldest she 26 but she along with her daugther have moved in with her husband. The other 7 kids, mind you there all adopted.....have moved on either running Malfoy Manor, exploring the world, or rasing a family." she takes a sip of her drink and smiles. " Aylana my oldest, she an angel who lives with us right now, she 20 and has to adopted daughther of her own. Virendra and Drac....there both sweet heart. Drac a keon, and Ren she a angel also. Tinania is my only child that was born from me....There also Michelle, I'm fostering her while she here to go to school. She 11 years old and very smart for her age..." she blushes and looks down " And I'm just talking.....I didn't mean to bore you if I am..." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Rinon runs a long, graceful finger over the rim of his cup and listens to Krista intently. "It sounds like you have a very loving heart. I am not sure that many women would take in that many children," he says. "Do not worry, you couldn't bore me. I find it very interesting for one woman, without the help of a man, to be raising such a large family. In some circles, it is a mark of shame to be a . . . . what is the term? Single mother?" he asks, his brow furrowed. "I've never seen it that way, myself."
He pauses, to take a drink from his own glass. "How did you adopt them all? Did you walk by orphanages as see them and know that they would be better off with you, or were they children of friends?" Krista DarkAngel Krista smiles and tilts her head to the side alittle " Well Ayleana came to me one day, she was 16 at the time, soon after she show me this place and that where I got her sisters. Eryk and Emma my twins I got at an orphanage thanks to a good friend of mine. Aylana from Fa'e I stumbled upon that place...." she sips her drink then smiles " Tinania from GMFC and is the only child I gave birth to...." she blushes alittle " And Drac and Ren are Aylana's daugthers where I found them also and gave them to her..." she giggles. She sits back alittle and smiles " Being a single mother not so bad, I'm use to it...my first love, well he turned out to be a bad guy. My second love died....so I'm trying to move on..." she blushes even more " I'm not all that sweet I just love having a family since my real family was never nice to me....and I never knew my mother other than I'm told I look like her." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "I'm sorry to hear about your . . . . past loves," Rinon says. Then, he has to ask. She has done this several times in the last minutes he has been speaking with her. . . . "I am curious. . . . Why are you blushing so much?" Was she hot? Did they need to go back outside for some fresh air? Krista DarkAngel Krista coughed and covers her mouth looking at him, she swallowed her drink and laughs alittle " Its a woman thing, plus I'm not really use to telling my whole life to someone I hardly know...." she shakes her head alitle and hides her face behind her hair she was really blushing now. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Alright, she is getting redder. . . . "Are you sure you aren't coming down with something? You look more feverish rather than embarassed. . . ." Rinon says, his brow furrowed. He shakes his head a little. "I'm sorry for my curiousity. I have always been that way. When I meet new people, I tend to ask a lot of questions. If it would make you feel better, you could ask me some questions," he offers. Krista DarkAngel Krista looks at him and thinks there was only one thing that came to mine " Do you have anyone special in your life? I mean someone you love beside your mother?" she takes a sip of her drink then looks out the window before looking back at him. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar (( AAAAND if Lenore were here, she would be groaning. . . . xd ))
Rinon blinks. Well, that is something silly to ask! Why would someone care about that?
He pushes those thoughts aside, and shakes his head. "No. I have taken care of my mother for almost twenty one years. We lived the life of a nomad as well, so that Lenore could never find us. That doesn't leave a person with much time for romance, does it?" he asks, a small smile on the corner of his lips. He takes a sip of his drink, and then asks what first sprang to mind at the question: "Was there a particular reason this seems to have interested you?" Krista DarkAngel She laughs and shakes her head a smile across her face " No, not at all..." she looks outside watching the snow fall trying to think then looks to him " So why not try to find love? I mean now that your here in Barton, there is so many interesting things to see and do...that I'm sure you would find someone who would catch your interest..." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Rinon blinks when Krista does not answer his question. He'll ask later, when she is least expecting it. Maybe he will shock an answer out of her?
"Well, is it really that important?" he asks, his brow furrowing as he looks down at his drink. "Look what it did to my mother, and my father come to that. My mother is dying, and my father is miserable. Is that something I should actively go out and seek?" Krista DarkAngel Krisa shok her head " Its not that bad really, not if you fine the right person....I mean you'll have your good and bad in love, but if you find the right person then its worth it...." she thinks then smiles " Take my family, I mean my father as much as he loves my stepmother he always thinking about my mother. He loves her and I know he will for the rest of his life. If society wasn't so stupid I know they would still be together..." she pauses then sighs " In alot of ways I think that why my father hates me sometimes it because I remind him of what he gave up..." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Rinon shrugs. "I won't stop it, or run away from it, if it ever happened," he admits. "But I am not going to actively seek it. I've seen too many of the bad in my life. I can understand about your father, because my mother is feeling the same way. She loves Lenore's father, more than my own. She hides it, and thinks we don't know. Even when she begged my father not to leave, he knew she only wanted him to stay because she wanted to try and return to normal. But, she is guilty, another reason she doesn't eat." He sighs. "I might be cursed with the same misfortune. No, I don't think I will actively seek it out." Krista DarkAngel Krista shrugs and pushes her hair from her face " I once thought the same thing but then you start to feel alone and wish to have someone to talk to and help you though everything....Having someone at your side is for suppost more then anything..." she sip her coffee then placing her cup down she runs her finger along her cup. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "Since you last . . . love," Rinon starts. "Have you met anyone you would think of settling with?" Krista DarkAngel Krista looks at him and smiles " I don't know maybe, but its to soon to know...I mean I just met this person not to long ago..." she frown when her hair falls into her face again, she laughs and leave that piece of hair there. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Rinon blinks again and stops mid-drink. He sets his glass down at studies Krista. His logic is telling him that whom she is speaking of is him. Why else would she have asked about past loves? And she has only just met him. I mean, most people's logic would point that way, correct?
But, Rinon refuses to draw conclusions. "Well, I wish you luck in finding out more about this person, Krista," he says. "So that you may know for sure."
He wants to just come out and ask her who this person is, or if it is him. But, that seems a bit rude. . . . Instead, he just lifts his glass and starts to drink from it again. Krista DarkAngel Krista smiles and nods " Thank you, but I doubt I'll ever see him again...so no worries on that...." she sips her drink again then looks out the window going quiet as she watches the snow continue to fall. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "Why do you believe that?" Rinona asks, his curiousity peaked beyond manners now. Krista DarkAngel Krista shrugs " I just doubt I will, thing always seem to get in the way....but hey it life..." she giggles alittle then pulls at her pink and white arm-warmers alittle. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "You don't speak plainly when you talk of matters of the heart, do you?" Rinon asks. "I guess I should not push, it is a personal matter. At any rate," Rinon finishes his drink and stands. He takes some gold from the fine, black leather pouch tied to his belt and lays it on the table. "I should be getting back to my mother. Is there anyplace you wish me to walk you, Krista? I wouldn't want you walking alone. . . ." Krista DarkAngel Krista bites her lip and shakes her head " Just not an easy to talk about is all, one day it might be easier for me but that I also doubt.." she stands herself pulling on her jacket and smiles " I wish but I will be fine...I'm use to walking alone at night..." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Rinon smiles. "I understand," he says, resting a hand on her shoulder briefly. He grabs his tunic and puts it on, buttoning it up hurriedly. "If you insist. At least let me walk you to the door," he says, offering her his arm. "I hope to speak with you again," he admits while he waits to see if she will take his arm. Krista DarkAngel She takes his arm and smiles " We okay I guess you can walk me home then.....well at least until the end of town, from there I'll have to walk alone...." she looks at him and smiles " I hope I get to speak to you again also.." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Rinon actually smiles fully at her now as he leads her out onto the sidewalk.
While he walks and looks at the snow, an odd thought occurs to him. He voices it aloud before giving himself time to think about it and to decide it is a bad idea. "Instead of hoping, why don't we set a time and place to speak to each other?" he asks. "If you think this new person you have in mind would mind, then I would understand. . . ." he says. Krista DarkAngel She smiles and turns to him " I don't know would you mind?" she giggles and walks ahead of him then looks back the wind catching her hair, she pushes it back and smiles. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Rinon stops right where he is standing, people pushing past him and giving him dirty looks. He doesn't really notice, though, he's a little shocked.
Well, this time, his logic was not bad. Though, this was not meant to be a romantic outing. He wanted to become friends with Krista. Somewhere in his subconscience it is quite possible. Krista is interesting to him, and very pretty.
Finally, after a particularly angry shopper pushes him rather hard, he walks toward Krista. He smiles again, and says, "I don't think so. I suppose the next question would be . . . when are you free?" Krista DarkAngel Krista smiles and thinks for a moment " In two days I promise Aylana that the family would be together for Christmas, and I never go back on a promise...." she smiles " Is that alright?" Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "That's fine," Rinon says. He bows a little to her. "This is where I leave you, then," he says. "Safe journey." Krista DarkAngel She smiles and turning she stops and looks at him " Um...see you soon Rinon..." with that she turns and runs off the sideway and onto the path leading into the forest. Stopping halfway she looks back and smiles then giggles before running all the way home and up to the door. She opens it quietly then looks around the house glad to see no one was awake as she walked up thee stair to her level.
