Drake nod then looks at the forest around him "Thank you, maybe I can find a home for the little one I have back at the village. See I protect them, and before we arrive here I came upon a nest that was abandoned, or so I thought, I heard the little girl crying softly, so I brought her with us, I'm hoping I can find a female dragon that will take care of her..." he looks back to Uleme "I have a feeling some killed the mother, and slowly the babies die.."
Draven shrugs and pulls off his cloak and tunic "Whatever you say darkangel..." he dives into the water and swims around before cming back up and looking at her, he smiles and shakes his head "You scared of the water?"

Uleme's eyes flash with a little bit of anger. He is protective of all animals, even the crawling vermin. Who could do something do horrible? He shakes his head. "I will definitely keep an eye open, then," he says. He looks over at Drake again. "Is she doing alright with you? The baby?"
Olath closes her eyes and sighs in relief. When she hears the splash, she opens them again, and looks over at the river they were standing next to. She frowns. "I use this river for spells," she says softly, silently thinking of how she is going to have to purify it later.
Shaking her head, and sighing again, she studies Draven. Against her own will, she begins to undress. Once she is derobed again, she dives gracefully into the water, a good ways away from Draven. "Water does not frighten me," she says to him, before diving back under.

Drake nods "Yes she is, she grow stronger each day. That why I must find a family of dragons soon to take her in, I could tame her, but I would rather she lived as she is suppose to and that free." he looks to Uleme "Plus she has found out she can low fire.." he nod and shakes his head "So I cannot keep her inside anymore..."
Draven smiles and dives under the water swimming after her, it doesn't take him long as he slip right next to her, running a finger along her back before surfacing to get some air.

Uleme nods. "I see," he says. "I will talk to Nyoka. She can speak with her mother, and Lenore might know of a colony of them somewhere else, if not here. I will do my best." He then smiles every so slightly again. "You are a wise and noble man, Drake. Lesser men would either kill the baby, tame her, or sell her off to the highest bidder. It is refreshing to see there are still people around that not only know what the right thing is, but actually do the right thing."
Olatha gasps when Draven runs a finger over her back, her mouth flooding with river water. She pushes against the bed with her feet, and splashes through the surface, coughing up water furiously. Her white pigtails are plastered in plasces to her face, her shoulders, and her chest. She puts a hand over her heart when she is finished coughing, trying to catch her breath. She keeps her eyes off of Draven, furious with herself for allowing him to get to her like that.

Drake nods "My father taught me that everything is equal, not to kill something just for killing. If I must kill then only kill something that is weak or already near death. It something I will always live by..." he places his hand against the tree and looks up at the sky.
Draven smiles and float ontop of the water "Are you alright, do you want me to come help you?" he looks over at her, watching the drops of water run down along her skin before looking up at her face.

Uleme is not sure that he agrees with the weak thing, but he nods, as he agrees with mercy-killings. "That is a good philosophy to live by, Mister Drake," he pauses a moment. "Tell me, what are your brothers like? Are they anything like you? Or totally different?" he is curious, granted. He needs to know more about the other two new elves that are inhabiting the forest.
"If you were really concerned," Olath snaps hoarsly. "You would have been over here already. . . ." she lifts her eyelids and looks at him. "What are you doing? Be honest with me, O Calculating One," she starts. "Do I look like an easy conquest to you? Why do you hound me so, when both of us know that once you sink your claws into me, you will throw me away like yesterday's supper?"

Drake leans against the tree looking over at Uleme "Donovan the youngest of the four of us. He sweet in good nature. He a ranger that would never hurt a fly. He quest is to protect the forest and find true love. Now see I don't agree with true love because I don't beileve in it. Draven, he the enchanter and he soul purpose is to seduce women from what I can see. Although he also would never hurt anything. Sometime I wonder if that boy gonna get himself into trouble or if the right woman would come along and change him." he pushes off the tree then looks back up at the villeg above them hoping to see someone.
Draven swims over to her and places a hand right on her shoulder "I do not see you as easy, I can tell that from the moment I met you. And as for throwing you to the side, I wouldn't do that either." he winks before letting his finger trail alittle then he floats away from her.

"The romantic, the intellect, and the philanderer," Uleme chuckles again. "Well, you three certainly are an odd mix, and must clash every once in a while," he says. He then lifts an eyebrow and looks up as well. "Were you waiting for someone?" he asks.
Olath narrows her eyes a little at Draven. "Very well calculated, sir," she says, swiming toward the shallower end. Once her feet touch the bed, she starts to step out. She walks over to her clothes and starts to dress again, shaking her long limbs a little, first, to dry them. "You'll forgive me for not throwing myself on you, won't you?" she says as she pulls her corset back over her chest. She begins to tighten the laces again, keeping her ear on Draven. "But, I think I know your type. And, you aren't the sort I want to go tangling legs with. If I were to allow myself to be seduced, I would want something different than what you have to offer." She struggles with the laces of her corset. Her fingers don't seem to want to work right now.

Drake looked at Uleme "Kira, she is amazing. I have never met an elven woman, mind you a drow, who I could understand and who understands me. She very interesting, I was hoping she would be coming back down by now..." he looks back up then back to Uleme "I think she still with her sister Ardana. So do you have any love or family?"
Draven walks up to her and without even saying anything he works at the laces of her corset "Mi'lady, if you think of me as someone who seduce woman for fun then well you have me pinned wrong. Yes I like woman, but I do not seduce every woman I see.." with that he turns and pulls back on his tunic not saying another word.

Uleme inwardly smiles knowingly over Drake. He clears his throat a little, and looks up at the stars. "I have a love," he says. "I think I am like your brother in that respect. I believe in true love. Py'via is my one and only. You might meet her sometime," he says. Then, he sighs sadly. "Alas, I haveno family, with her, or before her. My father died a long time ago. I couldn't tell you how long it has been. I do not know if my brothers and sisters are still alive." He gives Drake a sidelong glance. "You know, it is not such a bad thing to be a romantic. Love is something that should be embraced. . . . It is more precious than any gold or jewel."
Olath closes her eyes at Draven's words. Is he just saying those things? Or is he being genuine. She can't tell with him. . . . Sighing, she decides to give him the benefit of the doubt. For now. . . . "I am sorry if I offended you. It wasn't my intention. . . . Not wholly, anyway," she starts. She turns to face him. "It's just. . . . You're charming, a little too charming. And you're handsome, a little too handsome. I don't know if I should trust that, to be completely honest. And, there is the matter of your . . . brand of magic. I don't want to wake up next to you one day and wonder 'Was this my doing, or magic's?' Surely you can understand that. . . ."

Drake looks to him then looks up at the sky "With the job that I am destiny to do, I cannot have a love. I am much like a dragon, I am hot temper, and get angry real fast. Dragons mean the world to me. No having a woman in my life is just something I can't have, because I never know from one day to another where I will be. It might change now that I am here, but as long as there are dragon out there, I will always put them above myself and my wants." he looks to Uleme "Truely you can understand that."
Draven looks to her "I know you have no reason to trust me because of what I did when we first met, but understand I didn't do anything that you didn't feel. I just brought them out in the open. And if that was wrong of me then I am sorry." he pulls on her cloak then looks to her "But know I am not one to give up. I just know that it time to give up for awhile. I will see you again darkangel" with that he bows and walks away from her heading back toward the forest.

Uleme looks back at the stars, a thoughtful silence around him. Without looking at Drake, he says, "I understand you, Mister Drake. But, I want to leave you with these final words of advice; you cannot fight it if it happens. Priorities might not change, and who knows? The woman you fall for might have the exact interests as you, and would want to go with you. She would be patient with your temper. This is coming from a former dedicated bachelor," he looks back at Drake. "I must go for now. It was nice chatting with you, Mister Drake. Please, think on what I had to say. The stars tell me what we will meet again." With that, he bows himself back into the shadows. "Good luck finding your brother," he calls behind him. He is gone without another sound.
Olath blinks after Draven. When he is out of sight, she angrily grabs up her pack and heads for her depressing little cabin. The nerve of him! Walking off like that! She pushed him away, granted, but still! Whatever, she will just avoid him when next she sees him. She doesn't need this drama. Not while she is looking for her twin sister, searching the dead planes, just to see if she is still in the plane of the living.
When she reaches her cabin, she slams the door shut behind her, throws her pack down, and then collapses onto her make-shift bed. There is one thing that can be said about a conversation with Drave: it can be exhausting. . . .
She falls asleep, wondering what he meant by 'Know I am not one to give up'. . . .

Drake watches as Uleme vanishes into the shadows. He looks back up at the village above him before he heard footsteps. Looking over he see Draven. He doesn't even ask as Draven shrugs and walks pass him heading back toward the village.
Drake looks back up one more time, he sigh then follows his brother, it was near night and he had alot to think about before he finally lay down that night to rest.
