(7:40:59 PM) Eva: <G>"So, I hear you wanted to talk to me." Naze's voice is the first and only indication that she's there behind Alyah, the Ragabash just seemingly *there* behind her all of a sudden, doing her spooky tribe proud with a reverse batman.
(7:43:31 PM) Natasha: The Shinobi would open her eyes, the candle in front of her flickering slightly as her held hands would come away from each other. Shifting her head slightly towards the Ragabash she would nod simply, plain and flat eyes looking up towards Naze. "Yes, I had wished to speak to you. As you are the eldest Ragabash to Iron Secrets, you were the first w
(7:43:31 PM) Natasha: ho came to my mind."
(7:48:33 PM) Eva: Naze moves to be within line of sight of the Ninja. <G>"You have something on the mind?" she asks taking a seat as she looks to the candle a moment and back to the strong SF kin.
(7:56:16 PM) Natasha: "I do." She said softly in her normal neutral tone, looking back down towards the candle, watching it's small flickering flame atop the wick. "The founder of my clan, Hattori Hanzo, was according to the legends, a legendary Ragabash who's fleet of foot, and subtle grace was unmatched by any other Ragabash alive in his time. He was a mastery of the
(7:56:16 PM) Natasha: arts of subterfuge and trickery, the lord of darkness and silence. To his children of Iga, his lessons are still taught." She looked back up to Naze. "I am merely kin. But, I was born under the new moon. I feel the call of it in some respect. And while I am not as sharp tongued as yourself, nor Virgil, I wish to learn. I wish to become a Shinobi ab
(7:56:16 PM) Natasha: ove the rank and file kin. To better serve my home, my sept, my pack and my mate. To you I ask, Naze Rhya, is your aid in learning Blur of the Milky eye."
(8:08:19 PM) Eva: Naze looks very thoughtful at this request. Looking over Alyah hard curiously before speaking. <G> "You are deeded kin, many would say you are already above the rank and file, you ability to use gnosis too already sets you apart from your peers." She smiles "But, what good is an ability without a channel? hmm? I understand your hunger to learn this gift, and you have done no one here wrong."
(8:08:33 PM) Eva: She nods <G> "This Fool will gladly intercede on your behalf with chameleon."
(8:15:09 PM) Natasha: As was normal for the Shinobi she would bring her hands together in front of herself, lowering her head into a proper bow; avoiding the candle of course. "Arigato, Naze Rhya. You have my deepest thanks." She held this bow for a moment longer, then sat back into a proper seated posture.
(8:22:34 PM) Eva: <G> "You are quite welcome. We will have to likely wait until we can return to Arizona, where we have a shrine to Chameleon there, but I will help gladly." She nods deeply back to her <G> "Is there anything else you need from me?" she asks kindly
(8:27:32 PM) Natasha: "At present there is not no. I however, did wish to relay this to you. I wished to thank you for not only saving my life, but to also apologize to you, Naze, for letting myself fall into such a situation that it was required to rescue me."
(8:31:24 PM) Eva: <G> "Never apologize for occasionally needing rescue Alyah. Even well prepared Garou, or even the Alpha needs it occasionally."
(8:36:23 PM) Natasha: She would nod briefly, pushing her hair back from her face. "I understand. Though at times, I wish I was stronger. If not only for my own sake, but Strength's. For Iron Secrets."
(8:44:23 PM) Eva: <G> "We all wish for that, from time to time Alyah, it is simply part of human nature. You wish power, not for your own sake but to not let others you care about down, there is strength in that alone. And so you train and you seek to build yourself up. That is what you're doing now seeking this gift, no?" she smiles faintly
(8:44:30 PM) Eva: <G> "Continue to look for ways to grow that do not compromise you you are and you will either die old and seldom bested, or you will sell your life dearly to protect that which you love.. There are few other outcomes for strong women like yourself."
(8:57:38 PM) Natasha: There was much wisdom in Naze's words, the Shinobi understood this as well as any, and she nodded her head softly in turn to the wisdom gained. But she would bring her metal hand up, resting it gingerly over Naze's own. "You look into my eyes, see the pain I have suffered. The horrors I've seen. And yet, you do not turn me away. You offer your word
(8:57:38 PM) Natasha: s of wisdom and kindness, your words of support even if I do not feel I deserve them. Among those here in Iron Secrets, you, Naze, are one whom I would consider myself most similar to. Not simply due to our nature. But because I see the pain in your own eyes. The trials you have suffered. And the memories you lock away behind key and iron. I am gra
(8:57:38 PM) Natasha: teful to you for being kind to me. For your words, your teachings. We speak little, but we are sisters of shadows. I hope one day, I will be able to repay your kindness."
(9:12:09 PM) Eva: Naze nods softly to the Shinobi and gently rests her hand on top of the metal one <G> "Thank you Alyah; Simply continue to be the best you can be, Sister of Shadow, and that will be repayment enough." she takes back her hands and mimics her bow to her with a little smile.
(9:22:00 PM) Natasha: Alyah would nod again towards Naze. "Very well, then I shall continue to do so. Thank you." The kin would offer a very small, yet sincere smile towards the Ragabash.
(9:25:14 PM) ***Eva would nod and takes that smile as probably among the greatest treasures she had <G> "I'll let you know so you can prepare, once we're back in Arizona."
(9:32:13 PM) Natasha: "I thank you. I look forward to working with you more in the future as well. My blade is but a request away should you require it."
(9:33:40 PM) Eva: <G> "Thank you; You are always first in my thoughts should I need another, of similar skills to my own, and you will continue to be so." she nods
(9:39:25 PM) Natasha: ((And we can fade out here. Short and sweet. But appreciated.
