Lose Someone

[23:16] Yotanwa exclaims, "Pwaah!"
[23:16] Yotanwa says, "It's blind boy, ehe."
[23:16] Salthiel glances to Yotanwa, blind no more, tilting his head with a smile. "I didn't realize you were so pretty."
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[23:16] Yotanwa says, "Pffft."
[23:16] Yotanwa asks, "So you aren't blind anymore?"
[23:16] Salthiel Anauel says, "It was temporarry."
[23:17] Salthiel Anauel says, "Magis, allied with the vampires, attacked me."
[23:17] Salthiel Anauel says, "If it was one on one, I would have easily taken care of them."
[23:18] Yotanwa says, "Pff."
[23:18] Salthiel Anauel asks, "How are you, Miss Yotanwa?"
[23:18] Yotanwa exclaims, "I'm doin' well!"
[23:18] Yotanwa says, "I became the Regent's Retainer, somehow."
[23:18] Salthiel Anauel says, "Oh, wow."
[23:18] Salthiel Anauel asks, "Must be fun, huh?"
[23:18] Yotanwa says, "Nope."
[23:18] Yotanwa exclaims, "It's incredibly borin'!"
[23:19] Salthiel Anauel asks, "How so?"
[23:19] Yotanwa says, "Tons of drama with Nobles, blabla. Also lots of paperwork."
[23:20] Salthiel Anauel says, "Mmmh. Yeah. Sounds like fun indeed."
[23:20] Yotanwa says, "Well, well."
[23:21] Yotanwa exclaims, "Salthiel, show me how powerful you are!"
[23:21] Salthiel Anauel asks, "If I don't?"
[23:21] Yotanwa says, "I will.."
[23:21] Yotanwa exclaims, "Become violent!"
[23:21] Yotanwa nods.
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:21] Salthiel Anauel says, "You're already violent."
[23:21] Yotanwa says, "I .. I know."
[23:21] Salthiel Anauel says, "But you're adorable."
[23:21] Salthiel Anauel says, "A perfect match."
[23:21] Yotanwa asks, "Pff, pfft. You certainly like plants, do you?"
[23:22] Salthiel Anauel says, "I do. I planted some stranger's crops a while ago."
[23:22] Salthiel Anauel says, "I mean. I watered."
[23:22] Salthiel Anauel says, "Not planted. I don't know how to plant."
[23:23] Yotanwa asks, "Pwaah.. so no spars for me?"
[23:23] Salthiel Anauel says, "I can give you one."
[23:23] Salthiel Anauel asks, "You'll turn violent if I don't, won't you?"
[23:25] Salthiel Anauel says, "Seems you've forgotten. Oh well, I'm one easily forgotten."
[23:25] Salthiel sighs.
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:25] Yotanwa says, "Welp, in all honesty."
[23:26] Yotanwa says, "I barely remember the name of my own brothers and sisters."
[23:26] Yotanwa exclaims, "...I still remember yours though!"
[23:26] Salthiel frowns.
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:26] Salthiel Anauel says, "I'm sorry."
[23:26] Yotanwa asks, "Sorry? What for?"
[23:27] Salthiel sighs and shakes his head. "Nothing. Uh. Maybe you can tell me more about yourself in the future. But, anyways. Shall we?"
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[23:27] Yotanwa exclaims, "Whoops. Seems I made you upset, sorry!"
[23:27] Yotanwa says, "Yes, let's start."

[23:28] Salthiel Anauel says, "Admirable as ever..."
[23:29] Yotanwa asks, "Ehe. Did you know I beat the Commander?"
[23:29] Salthiel closed his eyes, pursing his lips before flashing it open. "I know. So, if I'm disappointing you, forgive me," says the youth softly before flashing his eyes open, pupils glowing blue as tears of blood fell off his cheeks.
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:31] Yotanwa whispers: Pwah. It's okay, Salthiel.
[23:32] Yotanwa whispers: Don't have to prove yourself to me, hmm?
[23:32] Salthiel Anauel whispers: I wish I don't need to.
[23:33] Salthiel Anauel whispers: Can we have another go? And just enjoy this moment? I feel I won't survive for long.
[23:33] Salthiel Anauel whispers: I need the practice anyway.
[23:33] Yotanwa whispers: ...you're makin' me worried.
[23:33] Salthiel Anauel whispers: I'll tell you more about it in the future.
[23:33] Salthiel Anauel whispers: About what I do.
[23:33] Yotanwa says, "Mhm.. fine."
[23:33] Salthiel smiles.
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:33] Yotanwa looks somehow saddened.
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:35] Salthiel Anauel says, "Aaah.... I can't even touch you."
[23:39] Salthiel struggled to bow, despite superficial injuries he suffered, showing the dryad his utmost respect. "You're formidable. I don't think I'm nowhere your level. And I can only hope I ever will," admitted Salthiel.
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:39] Yotanwa approaches Salthiel, hands falling onto him.
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:39] Yotanwa says, "No-no, please don't bow."
[23:39] Yotanwa says, "I just have more experience. You'll reach my level soon, even surpass it."
[23:39] Salthiel gritted his teeth before biting the side of his lower lip, straightening his back. "You're not acting like yourself," he said with a light smile.
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:40] Yotanwa says, "Wh--"
[23:40] Yotanwa crosses her arms, and turns around, proudly!
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:40] Yotanwa exclaims, "I mean .. pff, of course you won't surpass me!"
[23:40] Salthiel Anauel says, "Haha~ Please don't ever change."
[23:40] Salthiel Anauel says, "Stay the person I admire."
[23:41] Yotanwa asks, "Mhm-mhm.. now, I believe we have to talk, yes?"
[23:42] Salthiel Anauel says, "I'm tired and powerless, so escape is definitely not an option, n-- Oh."
[23:43] Yotanwa exclaims, "I'll show you my house!"
[23:44] Yotanwa says, "Pwaah.. super important stuff."
[23:45] Salthiel Anauel says, "I wonder what is it about."
[23:45] Salthiel Anauel says, "My teacher herself was present."
[23:45] Yotanwa asks, "Who's your teacher?"
[23:45] Salthiel Anauel says, "Lady Satsuki."
[23:45] Yotanwa exclaims, "Oh!"
[23:45] Yotanwa says, "She's fun, ehe."
[23:45] Salthiel Anauel says, "Mhm. She's guiding me."
[23:46] Yotanwa exclaims, "This is where I live!"
[23:47] Salthiel squinted and shaded his eyes from the light, allowing it to settle as he looked around.
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:47] Yotanwa exclaims, "Woah!"
[23:47] Salthiel Anauel says, "It looks peaceful. Tranquil."
[23:47] Yotanwa exclaims, "Someone stole some sinka!"
[23:47] Salthiel Anauel says, "Uh oh."
[23:48] Yotanwa says, "Oh well. It's okay."
[23:48] Salthiel Anauel asks, "Any possible to find out who?"
[23:49] Yotanwa says, "I don't mind."
[23:49] Salthiel looks saddened.
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:49] Yotanwa says, "O-oh, no. Don't be sad."
[23:50] Salthiel Anauel says, "I just can't believe it. How one would steal from their neighbors."
[23:50] Yotanwa says, "Happens."
[23:50] Yotanwa says, "In Gehenna it's far worse. <*nods.*>"
[23:50] Yotanwa asks, "Want to check inside my house?"
[23:50] Salthiel Anauel says, "Ah. Huangzhou, however, boasts peace and unity"
[23:50] Salthiel Anauel says, "And, sure."
[23:51] Salthiel Anauel says, "After you're done harvesting."
[23:51] Yotanwa says, "I'm done."
[23:51] Yotanwa exclaims, "This is where I live!"
[23:51] Yotanwa says, "Look, look."
[23:51] Yotanwa points at the piano.
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:52] Yotanwa says, "I even have this-- but, umm. I don't know how to play it."
[23:52] Yotanwa says, "Just have it to look fancy, ehe."
[23:52] Salthiel smiled as he admired the musical instrument. "I see. If I could, I'd probably come visit everyday to play for you."
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:53] Salthiel Anauel asks, "Do you live alone?"
[23:53] Yotanwa says, "Yup."
[23:53] Yotanwa exclaims, "And that's be cute!"
[23:54] Salthiel Anauel asks, "Maybe I should learn how to play one. Hm. And isn't it lonely? Living alone?"
[23:55] Yotanwa says, "Pwaah, it is."
[23:55] Yotanwa says, "But I have Nep."
[23:55] Yotanwa says, "So, it's OK."
[23:55] Salthiel Anauel asks, "Nep? Your daemon?"
[23:56] Yotanwa says, "No, my mate."
[23:56] Yotanwa says, "The other Nep."
[23:56] Yotanwa nods.
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:56] Salthiel Anauel says, "Oh."
[23:56] Yotanwa says, "I'm messin' around."
[23:56] Yotanwa says, "I'm refferin' to my daemon, yes."
[23:56] Salthiel Anauel says, "When you said that, I was both happy and sad."
[23:56] Yotanwa asks, "Is that so?"
[23:56] Salthiel sits on the chair, and slid his point finger gently on the piano keys.
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:57] Salthiel Anauel asks, "Can you tell me more about yourself? I assume you lived in Gehenna before, right?"
[23:57] Yotanwa stands behind, as she soon leans forward to rest her chin upon his head.
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:57] Yotanwa asks, "What do you wish to know about me?"
[23:59] Salthiel only ever so slightly tilted his head, as if to make sure a glass of water won't fall over atop a table. "Your past."
(Salthiel Anauel)
[00:01] Yotanwa speaks with a low and delicate voice.
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:02] Yotanwa whispers: Well, I was chosen and nurtured my whole life by the Chieftain to become a powerful woman.
[00:02] * You have been awarded 1 Roleplay Points! *
[00:02] Yotanwa whispers: I was also .. uhm.
[00:03] Yotanwa whispers: Under my kin's care for awhile, but they were a little too pervy and too much into women so I left.
[00:03] Salthiel didn't dare interrupt, only letting his hand rest upon a key, though not pressing it.
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:04] Salthiel Anauel says, "..."
[00:04] Yotanwa whispers: I have been the Chieftain's right-hand for awhile, hunted down vampires and their servants.
[00:04] Yotanwa whispers: Even killed one of them, here in this house.
[00:04] Yotanwa blinks.
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:04] Yotanwa exclaims, "Oof, I sound creepy!"
[00:05] Salthiel Anauel whispers: You're not.
[00:05] Salthiel Anauel whispers: Please. Go on.
[00:05] Salthiel said in a soft tone of voice.
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:07] Yotanwa whispers: I served Cruxati for a few years, but then I moved here.
[00:08] Yotanwa whispers: Went in jail for several monthes.
[00:08] Salthiel Anauel whispers: Why?
[00:08] Yotanwa whispers: Welp, no one had told me that breakin' into people's houses was bad!
[00:08] Yotanwa chuckles softly.
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:08] Salthiel scoffs before smiling. "Fair enough."
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:10] Yotanwa says, "I had a few partners here."
[00:10] Salthiel Anauel asks, "And how did that work?"
[00:10] Yotanwa decides to claim her seat next to him, to slowly lean her head against his shoulder.
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:10] Yotanwa says, "Poorly."
[00:11] Yotanwa says, "I had to try a few because I realize I'm not attracted to women."
[00:14] Salthiel would also lightly rest his head against hers, tilting it as if to softly nuzzle her hair. "That's unfortunate."
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:15] Yotanwa asks, "What about you?"
[00:16] Yotanwa asks, "Did you have to try a few men before you realize you aren't homosexual?"
[00:16] Yotanwa chuckles.
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:16] Salthiel lifted his head sideways to shake it. "I don't have to. I'm already homosexual," he said seriously.
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:17] Salthiel Anauel asks, "So, do you miss Gehenna?"
[00:17] Yotanwa asks, "Are you?"
[00:17] Yotanwa says, "Ahh, so sad.."
[00:17] Salthiel Anauel says, "I'm just kidding."
[00:17] Yotanwa crosses her arms, and frowns.
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:17] Yotanwa says, "D-don't make me scared like that:"
[00:17] Yotanwa exclaims, "*!"
[00:19] Salthiel Anauel says, "Haha~ I'm a Luminate. The Illuminated does not believe in homosexual relationships. "
[00:20] Yotanwa exclaims, "That'd be a waste!"
[00:20] Yotanwa says, "If you were homosexual."
[00:20] Yotanwa nods!
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:22] Salthiel Anauel says, "Don't get me wrong. I don't personally care if someone's homosexual or not. It is just that the Illuminated urges a woman and a man to love each other, so to create a new destiny. A new life. Two paths intertwine to form a new path."
[00:22] Salthiel Anauel says, "But, enough about my religious beliefs. I don't wanna bore."
[00:22] Salthiel Anauel asks, "And why would it be a waste?"
[00:24] Yotanwa exclaims, "Well, if you were homosexual I'm sure many women would be sad about it!"
[00:25] Salthiel Anauel asks, "Ah. I don't think so. There are many men out there, plenty to choose from. One wouldn't matter in the end. So, do you still go back to Gehenna from time to time?"
[00:25] Yotanwa says, "Very rarely."
[00:25] Salthiel Anauel asks, "I see. And don't you miss them? Your kin?"
[00:26] Yotanwa says, "Not really."
[00:27] Salthiel Anauel asks, "Why is that?"
[00:28] Yotanwa says, "They only liked me because of my appearance and always pushed for.."
[00:28] Yotanwa says, "Stuff I don't really want to talk about."
[00:30] Salthiel closed his eyes, heaving a deep breath before nodding his head. "I understand. I'm sorry, it was not my intention to make you uncomfortable. Or dig out bad memories."
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:32] Yotanwa smiles softly.
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:32] Yotanwa says, "It's okay."
[00:32] Yotanwa says, "I feel pretty comfortable right now."
[00:37] Salthiel glanced to Yotanwa, lips curving into a thin smile.

"I wish I can sit here forever with you. To be with you, happy to be embraced by your presence alone," he said.

"But, alas. Even the divines cannot answer my prayer to lock the time. And even wishing such a thing is selfish of me. So, I must go," said Salthiel, furrowing his eyebrows as he stood up.

"Goodbye, Yotanwa," the magi added, saying her name so softly, as if it was the most delicate thing in the world.
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:41] Golden-hues fall onto Salthiel, a saddened expression slowly drawing onto her features. She didn't want him to leave-- but to hold him, would be selfish aswell. She turns around, still sitting on the stool, watching him getting onto his feet.


She slowly opens her arms.

"Can I get a hug, or a kiss before you leave?" she asks with such a delicate voice, slowly tilting her head to the side. She really wanted it.
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:48] He tipped his torso over so he would face the dryad, remaining still for what seemed like forever to him; but, nigh a few seconds for Yotanwa.

"Stop acting like I'm dead," he said with a voice as if irritated, before smiling as he slowly reached over to blanket her within his arms, holding her gently.

And if she would allow it so, he'd offer her a light kiss on the cheek, before pulling back from the hug.
(Salthiel Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:54] The woman's thin arms carefully embraced Salthiel's frame, generous curves squeezing uncounciously and almost innocently as she holds him a close. A faint blush can be seen onto Yotanwa's cheeks as she feels his lips pressing against her cheek.

She slowly lowers her gaze, her hand carefully rubbing the spot he had kissed.

"I'm sorry Salthiel, I am just worried. You understand? I don't want to lose … someone else." a brief pause is taken as she raises her chin, golden-hues staring at him, a faint smile drawing onto her features.

"Please, come back soon. Next time I'll make sure to make some pie!" her voice cracks a little, she sounds a little sad-- but makes her best to smile. "Now go away, you need some rest. Come on, come on … shoo!"
(Yotanwa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:58] "Right. I'll make sure to meditate and reflect what might have caused you to cast me away, oh so cruelly," he said and sighed, shaking his head.

"But, yeah. I may not be as strong as you, but I'll try to survive if that's your wish," said Salthiel before dissipating into a thin mist.

"Please be safe for me too," echoed a voice as the lingering presence of the magi could be felt no more.
(Salthiel Anauel)
