RinVonDolli: /me One had to be truly lost to find the lands of forest of Blood Run. Deep in the ruined Kingdom of Drathir's forests. Once florished lands ripe with life, were now Bloodlands haunted by the scars of war and

destruction. Silent whispers of war cries echo throughout the branches of trunks of the trees while they were embraced by the thick fog that blanketed the leaf covered ground. The thick fog reaching up to the canopy of the trees. A

clearing housed a group of oak trees. They looked like simple tree's who arched towards one another and entwined their branches. The scent of Seasoned meats such as pork, beef, and deer, could be smelt throughout the area with the

sweet hint of mead and Ale. The roar of victory and the cries of defeat filled the air. Should one feel compelled to step between the trees, they would find themselves in the vast stretch of space. The vision of the very stars that float

between worlds and the worlds that were merging. A land ripe with lush forestry that hugged an opening with a mighty hall. Harboring many sorts of men and women.  The roar was coming from behind it's doors while a few brutish

men roamed the land here and there. Through the doors the hall was fit for battle and restoration. On past the tables and counters that housed meats and drinks were three thrones. A young crimson haired maiden stood in the center

of the mighty hall surrounded by men and women who watched her spar. Her feisty movements as feral as a while animal, running freely through it's home. Her opponent, a tall muscular male who seemed worn out compared to she

who barely broken a sweat. In another room where a loud cheer of the crowd that circled two men battling it out in an arm wrestling competition match at the end of the fire pit. Roars of agging warrior urging one to defeat the other

clambered back and forth between rivals. Taunting words between the two arm wrestlers slithered through the crowd, some causing chuckles and others causing hisses of anticipational pain.  The Cheers of a match well made now

ended erupting through the halls did not steer her nor did the jolly old folk lore sung by the drunkards who huddled off by the fire pit to boast about youthful days in war and battle, young men only joined to see if their feats matched

up to the heroics and glory of the elder tales. The crowd in the main battle hall erupted into victorious congratulations towards the young maiden who had struck the final punch into the brutish mans jaw, rendering him unconcious.

The Torch light flickering in the halls causing the soft dancing light to lick across her velvety caramel skin, giving it a glow of mystery while she thrust her fist into the air.  It also highlit most of the scars that were revealed upon the

exposed skin. Years of Torture? War? There were signs of both. Both distinct and hidden. Her attire was tanned dragon hyde, It looked ragged, for the most part at Well worn yet recently enhanced.  She said not a word while she made

her way towards the edge of the crowd where a woman handed her a drink. A jewel here and there, her head, wrists and her neck, there was one that had been buried into her chest where the earth colored gem was revealed. They all

held different purposes for sure. Recieving pats upon her back and graces for baring such combat skills from other men who soon became occupide with the neck spar that immidiately took place. A small jade fox came rushing through

the crowd to crawl up the maidens leg and onto her shoulder. It nestled it's head against the crimson haired maiden's cheek with a soft purr before it rests it's tail upon the maiden's neck.

SarinUzumaki: -Breaking twigs and gouts of flame broke the foggy echos apart in the moist air. Just now breaking through the edge of a clearing, the crimson haired man that stepped through was breathing fire to clear the way but

stopped. The opening in the trees was large, long, and obviously cut out by fire. Blackened trees stuck out of the edges like black iron fencing to secure the clearing, the obvious signs of warfare. Only at full potential could the man's

own fire breathing do something of THIS scale. His pink eyes left an after trail of red glow behind in the mist as he walked forwards. Long straps of thick leather clung to his shoulders and around his bare arms, nearly rubbing

against the leather of his open vest and shoulder armor. The straps led back to a set of three rickity old carts loaded down with goods and crates, barrels and cages filled with odd creatures. He had been having a hard time manuevering

the carts and had to burn a path through in order to avoid stopping every five minutes to rescue one of his wheels. Entering the clearing now, he could only see half way across it because of the fog. And he didn't even know if that was

indeed half way, so he kept walking. The open grass and already burn trees made for easier travel, his hide covered legs making strong work against weight a human would normally need a horse to pull. Red horns faded to pink where

chains hung from into his face, which he moved out of his vision now and again as he inspected the landscape for any signs of life or corpse. He saw none, which troubled him. One hand was ready to move it's gloved fingers over to his

right arm, where three steel cuffs of extremely large size sat rusted from rain over his forearm, with three bolts holding them on. He jumped as his dragon tail behind him hit something straying in the empty field, a sword stuck in the

ground. He inspects the hilt and what part of the blade he could see, but did not remove it or touch it. Finally he made his way to the cluster of trees and finds them very odd indeed, and curiously steps through them without a thought.

The change was instantly noticable from the lack of fog, and he was sorely tempted to run back through the entrance several times were it not for the caravan of carts he had with him. The hall was the first thing he cared about, and

pulled his carts right up near the front of it. With all the people around though, he made sure to write a quick note and place it in the most convenient spot for someone to read. "Do not touch." He also added a second line of invisable

ink which he just so happened to have and added a line he could change at will just in case it was necessary. With that all complete, he finally pushed open the front door to the hall, one hand per door opening them wide....-

RinVonDolli: /me Upon thanking the woman for giving her a drink, she lifted the mug to her lips and took a slow drink. It wasn't mead, nore was it ale. Instead, her beverage was an arrangment of fruits and barries blended into a

drink. Making her way out of the crowd with her companion comfortably upon her shoulder, she swept her gaze over the crowd. Faces she knew that weren't stranger to her any longer. At least, until the doors were opened. The emerald

stars of her eyes shifted towards the unfamiliar face who had stumbled upon the lost domain. A butler aproached her side and held up what looked like chains with blades at each end, a quiver of arrows and a bow. She picked up the

chains and hooked them upon her belt and dismissed the bow and arrows. Her focus never leaving the new face. The fox leaped off her shoulder while she soon became bumbarded with a group of people who either saught after her

next match or idle chatter.  However as they pressed too far she felt the weight of discomfort. The fox felt the cramp of every's legs being shuffled too tightly and was frightened into defence. With a loud bark a loud ring echoed through

the halls bringing most to their knees while they clapped their hands over their ears.  The crowd backed away slowly with apologetic expressions while the maiden picked up her companion and held it against her chest. She in return

offered apologetic stares towards those within the battle hall. The jade fox softly nuzzled along her chest, up the thick scar that hugged her throat and tucked it's head against her neck with a soft whimper.

SarinUzumaki: -Stepping fully into the scene, the male takes in the large pile of people in the middle of the room obscuring something bright red like himself in the middle. They were soon dispersed by an emerald looking creature,

one that highly fascinated him, and the girl they had been surrounding picking it up. This must be at least someone of importance from how they all wanted her attention, so he decided to introduce himself to her first. "Hail!" Came a

deep yet relaxed voice, slight irish accent maxed over by mainly english. 'Would you be one to talk too for trade? I have things to sell and barter outside." He offers a bow to the woman with his hands keeping each other together near

his chest. "If you have no need of wares I would ask for rest and respute here, as the carts are very taxing to move." Once out of his bow he thumbs back at the door mid speach to show where he had parked his goods, hopefully

unmolested by anyone outside.-

RinVonDolli: /me The fox perked it's head at the new comer, it's ears lifted high in curiositly before it climbed back onto the maiden's shoulder once more. Behind it swayed two tails, one stretched to drape over the girls neck. A stream

of energy seeped into her throat and climbed down the scar that flawed the soft flesh of her skin. The jade fox's body soon offered a tender glow of green, matching the emerald shade of the girls eyes. A soft voice softly echoed to where

the man could hear, while everyone else went about their business. "Hail.." The girl offered a graceful bow in return, the crimson braids falling past her shoulder before she straightened once more. "Welcome to Blood Run Battle Hall.

Home to the Lost and Found. I am Lu'Mira. Chief of these lands." The foxes body flickered with each sylible while the girls lips remained still. "We haven't much need of wears, as we make our own. However curious as to what your

land's may offer anyway.." She was a polite young looking woman. Hardly looked older than her early twenties. However her eyes bared much wisdom and strength only shadowed by nieve curiosity.

SarinUzumaki: -The man nods in understanding, delighted she was still curious about his merchandise. She said nothing about hostile or sleeping room, but that could be brought up again later. He motions for her to follow and

heads back out the door to his carts. The three of them were old wood compiled together with shady wheels and nearly rotted ropes tugging them along in a line. Crates and boxes were filled with bags of fruit and vegetable seeds dried

for the journey to survive and be planted later, odd pieces of clothing and armor scavanged from battle fields and the dead, the same for the odd assortment of random weaponry. Spices and odd medicines were stored in sacks and

barrels, but the main course were the caged animals. The cages were not without blankets and padding, a small bowl in each one for food or water. There were birds that seemed to change color when you walked by them, small white

squeeking creatures almost like bunny rabbits that had a frog's cheeks, and even a snake with small pretorial arms on its sides barely a half inch long. "I do not specialize in one kind of item, so you might have to look through and find

something you like."

RinVonDolli: /me while they arrived at his cart, she allowed her eyes to wonder. Her nose twitched as if she were gathering the scent of the item that they passed. Though she looked more of a woman who was battle worn and ready for

war, her curiosity drew her towards the spices and herbs as well as the creatures in cages. The jade fox glanced over the creatures more closely, tilting it's head every which way as if confused as to why they were in cages. Lu stood

quickly and dashed inside. Quickly gathering different seeds and fruits of her own that she had recently harvested out of her guarden. She gathered a few herbs as well, which were in fairly large bundles. She came back with different

pouches. Samples, each with a hand full of seeds. A plate of either split, pealed, or cubed peices of the fruit that belongs to them and a bow for each different barry. They were different from others, each carrying a certain glimer as if

misted by a natrual dew.  She offered a smile, once with innocence however complemented by three different pairs of fangs, each representing a beast of sorts. However her features remained every youthful. The fox flickered with the

voice once more "Perhaps you would like samples of my lands barrings as well while I perchase item's from yours?"


SarinUzumaki: -The male tilted his head as she left and returned with the platter of odd fruit and seeds. Without much hesitation he reached out to take it and motioned for her to sample some of the herbs and spices he had with him

as well. Looking at the seeds first, he inspected them for quality before nibbling a couple for their taste, finding them earthy but subtle. The fruit was really interesting, seeing their color and sucking on the juices to get their flavor

before eating them slowly, savoring what was offered. He would probably not buy any fruit besides a small amount for himself, short term perishable food.  As for what she might find, there were large potato like tubors that had a

fragrant flower at the top of their stalk in abundance that when eaten would taste like chilli or curry. A purple fleshy tubor the size of her torso that was cut into chunks, but stored in one piece wrapped in a net to keep it in shape. An

odd red like rope that smelled sticky and sweet, pungent even, in its soft fleshy texture. And even minced pink and green spice that gave off a floral smell mixed with a Cumin like scent. -

RinVonDolli: /me While she settled the platters down of chopped fruit and handed him the pouches of seeds she had gathered for him. She also brought grain, and other forms of wheat. She moved closer, like a wolf sniffing the scent

of the it's prey she gathered the scent of his wears and goods. Her eyes focused closely on the detail of every item. Curiosity, wonder towards what his lands may offer. The fox hopped off of her shoulder and tilted it's head as it found an

odd looking bird and strange looking cat. Lu's attention fleeted towards the beasts in cages before her nose picked up a strange scent. Her eyes shifted over towards the odd purple substance and the red rope. While he bit into the fruits

she offered him, his tongue would be greeted with a perfect mixture of sweet and bold. Every fruit he bit into greeted his body with a rejuivinating embrace of vitality. It was as if the fatigue and ache of his form if any would fade,

otherwise he'd be embraced by the comforting carress of spring. They acted more like medicine or healing agents rather than just ordenary fruit. While her fox played with the creatures in the cage, she studied over the odd new

discoveries.

SarinUzumaki: -Feeling the vitality return to him, his weariness from the travel itself was gone. It felt pretty good, but with it came a slight nausia to his stomach. Dragon stomachs were unique, and perhaps it did not settle well with

it. He tried another one instead, this one having a better effect on him and even removing the nausia that had settled in. "Mmm, I like this one." He said about the pinkish orange marbled fruit that he had been chewing on. It was thicker

and fleshier than the others, good to chew for a long time. "Have you found anything you like yet?" He moves around her to see what she was inspecting, the birds and other animals making noise as the fox came around them. They

seemed anxious around the little critter even if they were bigger than it and probably stronger. It was just seeing a predator at all which caused the anxiety, despite foxes being scavangers mostly.-

RinVonDolli: /me Lust picked up what looked to be an orb. The opal hue caused her eyes to wonder about it's surface. perhaps it was due to seeing her own reflection. Like a child in awe. Yet she was delicate with it. The tips of her

ears twitched when she heard her fox bark towards her. It sat with it's two tails swaying behind it as if he had found a new friend. It's ruby eyes shifted towards the two creatures it had become curious about. Not as prey but rather new

allies. She looked between the Bird and Cat before her attention shifted to the male who asked if she found anything. She tilted her head slightly, where the loose strands of her lengthy crimson hair fell over her shoulder. The fox also

shifted his eyes towards the man and it's tail's began to wag faster. She had made her choise. She couldn't answer him with her voice as her companion was not in connection, so she used her actions. She motioned over every caged

creature plus holding the orb in her hand, as if questioning on how much for purchase.

SarinUzumaki: -He took a bite out of another morsal while he looked over what she motioned towards, thinking about it in his head. The bird, the cat like creature which was more eastern dragon in body shape with a cat's fur and

head, and several of the small white rabbit creatures with expanding toad cheaks that puffed out when they chirped, all would come out to quiet a bit of money. The orb on the otherhand was a rarity, with multiple uses. "All the

animals, and that shiny thing eh? You seem to like shiny. 500 silver for the animals, or 50 gold. And 200 silver, or 20 gold. Pay in silver, and you get discount of ten percent." He didn't give a reason for it, and didn't seem to be planning

on it. Usually the discount would be if people paid in gold or even platinum, since it weighed less and would take up less space. Whatever his reason, he took out a little palm sized note pad wrapped in leather and a small quill which

he dipped onto his tongue and wetted the ink that already was pressed into the core of the feather quill, one of the first prototype style 'pens' without need of an ink well.-

RinVonDolli: /me she honestly didn't care about the price. She shifted in her position and unfastened a pouch from under the leather cloth that hung from her hip. It was thick with coin where her hand could hardly have a decent

hold on it. She then lifted another pouch which was empty and smaller than her own. She counted out the fifty gold, as it was all she had on hand. After placing the fity gold in the empty pouch she handed it to him with a soft smile.

The fox jumped with excitment and pounced off the cart while Lu began to take each cage and settle them upon the ground. She did not yet release them, instead she kept their cages sealed. After she positioned them she settled upon

her knees in a semi-circle of the cages and the fox hopped into her lap. It's tails wrapped around her waist where her skin was exposed and it's red eyes turned to a ruby stares. The creatures in their cages would all perk and turn their

attention towards her. As her seafoam gaze darkened into an emerald stare.

SarinUzumaki: -She didn't pay for the orb, so he nods and holds out a hand for the object. He sighed, expecting the gold but not really wanting it. He made a mental note to go to a bank and exchange it for silver later. As for the animals, he waited for her to inspect them one last time then began to pull them carefully off the carts one by one and setting them into a frame of wood with curved poles made to go over the shoulder, hoisting each cage one a time. With the first one on his back, the dragon stood up straight and held onto the straps it provided while staring expetantly at her. "Lead the way to where you want them. I will start hailing them all inside or around back or whatever....."

RinVonDolli: /me it was like the fox was having mental conversation with the animals around them. With the contact the fox had with her, the information and conversation was also being shared to her. However it was her own secret. As he began to pick them up, assurance of their captivity being near it's end was promised however she asked for patience.  She stood, helping him carry the creatures while the fox also offered to help. Holding a cage or two with it's tails as she lead the way into the hall. She shouldered her way into the hall. They were large. Open spaced chambers that were seperated by drappary and pillars. To their left, the mess hall, where mighty feasts were being prepared, hearty drunkars of young and old shared war stories and stories of their loved ones as they were gathered at tables and chairs, laughing with joy as well as hardships they bare. Others sang hearty songs of adventure far and maidens fair. Gathered into cirlces with interlooped arms as they bounce and sway. To their right, the loung, where the library was plentyful and the fire was warm. Warriors of all kind trained their mind as well as their bodies. Fighters and schollers of all kind have gathered in this proud hall.  In the center as soon as they enter. they were greeted with the sight of a crowd that had gathered for playful brawls of rivalry. It was welcomeing to many however at first could seem quite terrifying. She lead the path through the farthest reach of the crowd away from the playful fighting and made her way towards the loungs area where things were the least hectic and the most quite. At least they

would be able to hear better. She stopped by the fire and began to settle the cages upon the floor.

SarinUzumaki: -The smell of alcohol and sweat, dust and melting candle wax hit the nose of the dragon as he entered the hall. With the largest cage upon his back, the one with the bird in it, he had to carefully use his tail to balance

and manuever between the exuberant patrons here and there and everywhere until they made it back into the lounge. The light dancing off of his scales showed a hint of silver underneath the red as he moved along the room and

curved right into the lounge to set his cage on the floor, lowering his legs and releasing it with a short thud. He had not noticed the communication between her and the animals, so half expected the bird to freak out when it dropped.

When it didnt, he just brushed it off as confused. "There there, birdy." He was luckily no longer tired because of the fruit she had given him, otherwise the weight of his caravan and the days travel would have made that a tiring walk.

"Here you are miss.... uh, I actually don't know your name yet do I?" He rubbed the back of his hair instinctively when he realized this, and blushed a light crimson as he realized he couldn't give her an answer either. "And I don't have a

name to give you, so...." He awkwardly sat down on the lounge's couch in front of the fire and curled his tail up so it wouldnt get pinched. "Well, either way, now that I have some money to spend I might as well spend it here." He looked

around at the others drinking and eating, the idea of breaking the gold down into the silver he wanted running through his head.-

RinVonDolli: /me she sat upon her knees in front of the cages. She did so slowly with her hands up in a non threatening manor so the animals did not see her a such. She eased herself close to each cage. She was calm, slow and

catored to the discomforts of the animals she was aproahing. Assuring them in a manor so sweet it was as if their trust for her turned into intrigue. They became curious of her. When they permitted her, she unlatched each cage with

conditions implied and abbided. They stuck close to her and studied her out of curiosity. She was still allowing the creatures to do what they needed to familiarize themselves with her. When he mentions names she bit onto her bottom

lip. She noticed the fox curiosuly aquainting itself with it's new companions while she stood and made her way over towards the couch. She paused in front of him and lifted her hands, pressing her palms together with nod of

apologie. She picked up a parcel of paper and a quill. She wrote her name in a fine penmenship. "Lu'Mira" she laid the quill down along the paper and pressed her fist against her palm with a respectful bow.  After she straightened

herself, she offered her hand towards him for a hand shake while she offered him a tender and humble smile.

SarinUzumaki: -Tilting his head at her actions, he was curious now about her. She obviously had some form of ability or work around with animals. It was entertaining to watch at the very least. When she came over with an odd

apologetic gesture and gave him a piece of paper, he thought about earlier when her 'voice' had came to him. He could tell now that it had been oddly transmuted. "Lu'Mira.... a very sweet name.  If I had one, I would wan't it like that."

Being a younger dragon, he had not found an identity fully yet. Seeing as he was resting, he lifted his left arm and motioned to someone serving drinks and such to patrons to get their attention. "Oi, you. Can I get a wine please?

Something under a gold, please." And flicked one gold piece their direction, expecting some silver back in return. "And two wine glasses, if you enjoy that kind of drink." The second part of that sentence was directed at Lu'Mira of course,

hoping she would join him in some imbibment. Now that he was at rest, his left reached over to the rust colored metal bands across his right arm and began to twist at the bolts holding them in place. One by one, the three bands came

off of him and fell onto the couch. Sparks of red and silver ran along his body when they were removed, showing a restriction on power that was no longer in place. "Ugh, finally. I still don't have full control over my human form yet. If

I get attacked on the road, I could go full dragon by accident." He stretched his right arm and shoulder to loosen it up as he handed the piece of parchment back to her so she could write more responces if need be.-

RinVonDolli: /me she had became curious as she why he did not have a name, however, she also had a sad thought. She mentally shoved that thought away and began to write upon the parchment. She would hold it out to him  so he

could see it "Why don't you give yourself a name?" she hoped it wasn't too invasive. Her hand slowly retracted while her cheeks gained a slight blush of red themselves. She then took a seat, Her lengthy hair draping over her shoulders

before she settled onto the cushion and placed her hands in her lap. Her seafoam eyes lifted towards the fire. The flames a mere speck of light in the sea of stars that lit up her gaze. while he asked for a drink the animals were brought

platters of different sellections of foods when he was brought his drink and remaining silver that was left from his payment. The drinks being fairly cheep he would have gotten plenty back, plus  platter that was covered in a different

selection of food just in case he felt a the need. Her ears twitched at the sound of something being released and she shifted her gaze towards him. He was stretching his arms. Restrictions? Perhaps. She began to write upon the

parchement "You needn't hide who you are here.." there wasn't anything else said.  When the bar keep returned with a different selection of drinks, the young lad grinned. He was slender and timid and would protray the personality and

likeness of a deer.  The antlers were the mostly likely clue. She lifted her mug and nodded in thanks to the boy before he left and turned her attention back towards him. It wasn't often she drank, let alone attempted to conversate with

anyone, why not start tonight? While she fox was off intertaining new friends, she gave her attention towards a new face.

SarinUzumaki: -He turned to read her note, one hand still resting on his stretched shoulder. Curiously intaking the text, he pondered her question a moment. "I suppose I have not lived long enough to find a name that means

something to me. Dragons live a long time, so we are in no rush. I am only twenty eight winters, out of possibly thousands. When I find something worthy of my own meaning, it will come to me." As soon as the silver arrived and the

wine, food and other things along with it he set the other things between the two of them on the floor so there was no disconnect between them physically, but the silver he immediately held loosely in his palm before his face and

shoved it into his mouth, exposing sharp canines. Crunching sounds could be heard as he chewed the silver and savored the taste of it in his mouth, moaning in delight with a small burst of fire exiting his nostrils. "Mmmm. The most

delicious of all metals." He managed to say around the chunks of silver between his teeth. It eventually was swallowed and he patted his chest right above his throat. "That was worth it. So tell me, where did you learn your skills with

animals? It took me hours to catch some of the ones you just bought. The bird especially was difficult to track down." He had not harmed any of them, that would detract from their value and he did not see any use in harming another

living thing anyway. Though they would not have gone quietly, so trickery and traps had been necessary. He watched her seafoam green eyes in wonder for a moment, seeing the unique color on a mortal being rare as it is. Combined

with the red hair and dark skin, he was enthralled by the complete image she made not a foot in front of him, so close as to touch if he desired. Because of this he offered his glass up in toast with her, unsure if she would take to it. "To a

fine trade, and a fine new face if I do say so myself."

RinVonDolli: /me at first when he shoved the silver into his mouth, she tensed with shock.  Bewilder by his actions. It wasn't long before she understood it was possibly a delicasy. The mug she held settled upon her lap beside the orb

she had in her lap that she had became so fastenated by. His satisfaction being made known to her by his words being followed by the question of her skills she tilted her head.  Her answer was simple however difficult to explain it's

origens in written texts.  So she put it as simply as she could, "Born skills, Jade helps as well." while she showed him her answer she pointed the quill towards the Jade colored two tailed fox who was gathered in a circle with it's new

friends. It was as if they were all a group of new friends getting to know each other. She set the paper down and held up her mug in a silent cheer of agreement. The fire in the mantal being brought back to life as more wood was added

to it allowed her flesh to reveal it's sequinced nature. It was as if she was coated in a protective layer of millions of tiny scales.  Yet she felt like velvet to the touch.  She was built for war, trained to kill, yet looked nothing more than an

innocent woman playing the role of a warrior. When she brought the mug to her lips she took a drink of her beverage before she was struck with recollection.  Her brow twitched as an apologetic smile slipped nerviously across her lips

while she held up the orb. She held it out to him as an embarassed blushed darkened the timid shade of pink into a soft shade of red.

SarinUzumaki: -He could understand the inborn skills of many, and this was no exception. He had already seen a multitude of unique people's and things with so many differing abilities. Speaking of such, her unique skin caught his attention and he stared at it intently like a child staring at a new wonder of the world. His maturity was obviously paper thin when something peaked his interest. Her offering him the sphere was what broke his staring fit,making him double take that it was actually there. "Oh.... well, let me show you something." Raising his free hand up underneath hers instead of taking it, he sent a spark of warmth through her hand into the orb. It immediately became a humming ball of vibration, and it even made a sound like the chirps of the Squee she had just bought from him. "It can be used for many things. Changing its vibrations, you can make it produce lights and colors, images, sounds, but most importantly voices." The orb said the word 'hello' in his own voice and then in a different one at his choosing. "It can also be used for scrying other locations and people, but you have to know what you are looking for and it only lasts so long before it drains you. I'll say.... keep it. In exchange for one favor in the future. One... willing, favor. I won't force you to do anything you don't want too." Dropping his hand away from hers, he lets her have the crystalline orb to herself as he did not need it for his own business. It had just been something he had found in his travels, immediately knowing he would get rid of it.-

RinVonDolli: /me she tensed softly when she felt the spark of warmth pass through her hand. Her eyes widdened at the reaction of the the orb. It was almost as if she purred with fastenation and thought it would become quite handy.  When he said something about locations and people, it nearly made up her mind however as he continued, mentioning the limitations it didn't really bother her all that much. Her ears twitched when he said something about a favor. it made her curiously and she lifted her eyes up to meet his gaze. The closer one looked te more her eyes seemed like a galaxy all their own. Her expression beckoned him to continued, as if she were asking what his favor was as she wavered her decision about the orb upon in the balance. the loose drape of her hair that dangled down her face shifted while she tilted her head, revealing the scar upon her cheek. It brought a different aproach to her humble and youthful features.

SarinUzumaki: -Raising an eyebrow at her sudden look, he could only guess what it meant but figured it had something to do with the vagueness of the deal. "Don't look at me like that. I don't know what kind of favor I might need, so i'm keeping the options open." He shrugs, taking another sip of his drink when his arms return to center and rest upon his legs. He did stare into her eyes for awhile, reflecting his own pinkish red eyes with no pupils, just pure color and white border. One of the shiny strands of jewels hanging off his horns seemed to fall in the way of their line of sight, so he twitched his head to one side in an attempt to move it out of the way, and when that failed blew on it until it slid back into the spot it had been before. "If you have a problem with that... " -Blows it back again.- "....I can .." And again. "Be more specific...." And again, this time scrunching up his face and staring at the odd string of cut pinkish pearls. "...about it."

RinVonDolli: /me her brow quirked when he told her not to look at him the way she was. She blinked with a challenging look when he continued to be vague, of course she wanted specifics. She didn't much like surprises. Her eyes wondered down towards the orb once more. She was merely fastenated by it's opal shimmer. It bared the same resemblance to her seafoam eyes.  Though she had this strange nieveity about her aproach to things. It was part of the allure when she revealed her feral nature in battle. It was amusing watching him fidget with the pearls that dangled from his horn. To her they gave a lovely complement to his apearance. A man bold enough to wear such finary. However there were also other men decorated in different forms of jewels in the Battle Hall as a prefered addorment. She didn't care much for jewery, it got in the way when she needed freedom to move. She sat firm, staring at him as if indicating an obvious urge for him to explain his favor. She picked up a slice of fruit and lifted it to her lips while she waited for him to continue.

SarinUzumaki: -Finally getting the jewellry to stay in place, he saw her facial expression and figured he might as well think of something. "If I had to pick something now... well I don't know if I need anything now is the thing. I could ask for anything I guess, but there isn't much that I can think of outside the silver, more food, or whatever vulgar thoughts these blokes would fancy." He points a thumb at the fist fighting men around the curtains seperating them from the main populace. "I have never partaken in fist brawls, stale mead, or the flesh of a woman. It seems rather... selfish and simple." A shiver went up his spine and the idea of it, shaking his voice as he exhaled. "The last thing I want is to be rude to a fine lass like yourself. You will have to tell me what would be appropriate, I am not the best with social graces." His eyes sunk into a relaxed gaze across her, subdued into a state of resignation and waited to see what she would respond with.-

RinVonDolli: /me while she listened she became more understanding to his request. She wasn't sure at first how to respond so she pondered upon his answer. She settled the orb upon the cushion between he and herself before she picked up the parchment once more. While she lifted the quill she had found herself without a word to grasp. She herself was a solitary person. Realizing within the centuries of her life, she had never partaken in the pleasure of a mans embrace. She took in a slow breath while her quill was scribbled along the parchment. She hesitated as for once, her expression revealed the timid side of her nature. "You are not rude. I thank you for being honest. I am sure whatever favor you request will be appropriate when the time comes.." she settled her hands into her lap. She peered over towards the animals, of which had seemed to have fallen into rest. The fox however aproaching her, only to leap into her lap. The jade fox turning it's ruby gaze towards the male while it's two tails swayed curiously.

RinVonDolli: (^^ Hello)
SarinUzumaki: [[Heyooooo.]]
RinVonDolli: (^^ How are you feeling? Aside from possibly tired after moving all your stuff around)
SarinUzumaki: [[Still dealing with dehydration, but im managing that. ]]

She peered over towards the animals, of which had seemed to have fallen into rest. The fox however aproaching her, only to leap into her lap. The jade fox turning it's ruby gaze towards the male while it's two tails swayed curiously.
SarinUzumaki: -Reading the parchment with an aire of anticapation, reading it quickly before she rested her hands into her lap. She seemed a tad off after that last question, maybe he had brought up an odd memory or thought from her past. Still, she had not berrated him for it, so honesty was the way to go from now on. "Mmmm, well of course. But you want something more assuring as a trade... I can understand that. How about this..": He held out his hand to her palm facing up and waited. If she took it, he would stand slowly to lead her closer to the fireplace and then bowed awkwardly, nearly poking her with his horns from not being used to his body yet. "I would ask for a dance. But uh... don't expect me to be good at it." He chuckled softly in his throat and offered the other hand towards her waist but waited for her to walk into it and close to him, still holding the other and attempted a slow turning waltz to the music in the background. It was not exuberant or lively dancing, but a slow carefully stepped dance to avoid crushing each other's toes. If she rejected his hand, however, he would speak up to say his idea first and wait for her approval to stand up. Without her approval, he would drop the hand and nod in understanding why.-
RinVonDolli: /me when she saw him offer his hand to her she tilted her head. Slowly she shifted her gaze between his hand and his stare while she slowly lifts her hand and slips it into his.  Her ears lifted when he stood to his feet then she stood to follow him closer to the fire place. When he stopped and his request filled her ears, Lu tensed with a slight blush across her cheeks. A dance. The fox remained at the couch as it watched in amusement. Embarassment crept across her expression while she stubbornly glared towards the flames in the hearth. The flames caused the mysterious glow to embrace her skin with a haunting allure while it highlighted the many scars that crawled acrossed her flesh.  She didn't know how to dance. She wasn't sure weather to accept or denie him his request. Though it seemed a small price to pay for the orb. She was a warrior, she didn't davel in the finaries of court... at least, not anymore. With a slow breath she lifted her hand and slowly stepped closer while staring at him as if questioning if this was his true request.
SarinUzumaki: -Shifting his feet back, right, forward, then left and repeating in slow rythme, he showed her what little he did know about the dance and made sure she understood the pattern along with him. He was not the best at it either, but they avoided any catastrophees. Feeling her hair against his arm in back and the warmth of her fingers, he smiled kindly down at her and felt this was a better choice than the first vulgar ideas that had popped into his head before. Or the silver, even though it was tasty. "Good, you are keeping up. I hope this doesn't upset you." He was basicly skin tight against her, which was the point of the Waltz. Being as close as possible without actually embracing. "Just let me know if you want to stop. You have already earned my trust."
RinVonDolli: /me he could feel the stiffness of her form as he guides her through his dance. Though she avoided looking up at him out of embarassment, she was focused on following without stepping on his feet. This she found, was more difficult than her training. Her ears twitched when he complmented on how well she was doing. She shook her head when he mentioned how he hoped she wasn't upset by this before chancing a quick glance up towards his face. After a moment she allowed her eyes to drift off towards the side. The fox was upon the couch, a purr of amusment vibrated it's chest while it's tails swayed behind it.
SarinUzumaki: -Her facial expression was odd to him, and the quick way she looked off to the side was telling him a few mixed signals. Was it good or bad? He had no clue, so decided to just continue until she let go of him. The din of the hall came over them as the song ended with cheers and laughter, and a new song started up. He pulled away from her then and went for a wider stance, shifting to hold both her hands and spin around the center of them in a faster jaunty dance. "This one should be easier." It picked up pace, driving the excitement of the crowd as well as his heartbeat. He had seen many people dance this way but kept them as close to the same spot as possible. Veering off to the side could spell either a nasty burn in the fireplace or an awkward tumble onto the couch.-

SarinUzumaki: [[Ok, other rp finished. Had to take apart an arcane lock as a phoenix. :3 Was kinda fun. ]]
RinVonDolli: (O.o okay then.0
SarinUzumaki: [[ You have the posts?]]
RinVonDolli: (From where i had to leave yes. hold on)
SarinUzumaki: [[There were only two more after you left, then he crashed or left. :I ]]
RinVonDolli: (Okay so would you rather start off before or after he had entered?)
SarinUzumaki: [[After I guess. We can just say he joined the crowd. ]]
RinVonDolli: (alright then)
RinVonDolli: SarinUzumaki: -He nodded at her question but looked at her concerned, her body language changing all of a sudden. "Yes, I can eat any treasure. But silver is my lifeblood, literally. It runs hot through my veins, and tastes like rock candy." He giggles at his own words but does not forget her concerning demeanor. "Are you alright? You seem flustered...." He would have continued if not for the loud boistrous entry of another patron. Looking over at the door far away from the lounge, the crowd got in his line of sight and he could only make out small details of the person who had come in. The crowd was loud and always shifting, making it hard to hear or see anything past the curtains and raised steps leading out of the lounge area. He did not like loud people, they often had insecurities to hide or too much energy to burn off. "Odd. Do you get these kinds of visitors often?" He asked Lu'Mira without turning to look at her right away.
RinVonDolli: RinVonDolli: /me Lu'Mira nodded her head softly as he explained his taste for silver. She understood to some point, while she softly trailed her hand along the fox's jade fur. She then lifted her hands and began to pull her gloves, carefully by each finger till it was free of her hand. They were covered in many scars, as if they had been put through different stresses for torture.  Either that or she had been punching too many battle mallets or grabbing onto blades in combat. Truth was, the possibility of both were the answer.. She allowed him to see for a moment before she pulled her glove back on. It was then her attention was turned towards the door. The bolstering bout of another wonderer, finding their way into her hidden realm. The fox climbed upon her shoulder and draped one of it's tails upon her neck allowing the energy to drift through her veins. It stretched towards her throat and illuminated the scar that ravaged her throat and chest.  The foxes body shifted to the hard stone jade while it's fur thickened and hardened, as if serving as armor in it's crystalized form. The fox's body illuminated with the voice that echoed from it "I don't get many visitors at all. It's rare i get so many in such a short amount of time. As I am sure you remember, in the ruins of these lands there are beasts forged by merged spirits of the people that linger.. The legend of my Kingdom isn't a happy one.." There it was, a clue to her true status. Even the loud voice of the male was not enough to penetrate the jolly brawls and joyous tails being sung in the Hall. As the Hall itself was voiced by many, inclusing herself. The fox then leaped off her shoulder and scurried through the crowd before aproaching the new war lord. It's fur had taken it's silky shin once more while it's ruby eyes turned to red pools. It barked to get the Golden haired mans attention before turning back towards the lounge, only to pause to see if he would follow. It's two tails swaying low as it was focused on it's task to retreave the new face. Once it was sure the man would follow it would lead him back towards the lounge area where it's Mistress was conversing with another.
SarinUzumaki: -The underlying tones of her words, even through magical means, was not lost on the dragon. He tilted his head to one side as she spoke of spirits and kingdoms, yet he saw no kingdom here. A long gone past, perhaps even war and treachery. A true fantasy tale. Even the boistrous entrance of another patron joining the rabble would not distract him from this now. "I would love to hear just a legend. Something the bards can be proud of singing, even if it is their woest of days to remember." The scars on her hands were curious and he would remember them as part of the story. It was something totake in now, this place and its people. The reason they were they way they are now. The events that lead up to such a point. Nearly barbaric in their nature and violent by design, yet it had not always been so as he was now learning.-
RinVonDolli: /me When she saw the new face fade into the crowd she settled back upon the sofa. His curiosity about the Ruined Kingdom's Legend filled her ears as well as mention of bards and singing of it's tale. Darkness filled her eyes as did distant hints of agony. The fox had aproached however paused feeling the depths of her discomfort to which it's fur began to bristle. One simple movement silenced the small creature. A dismissive movement of her hand in a downward motion while she curled her fingers into a fist. Her eyes fixed on the floor while a glyph began to form upon the exposed skin of her shoulder. The fox moved closer towards her hand. To which a matching glyph formed beneath the fox. It's body began to shift into an orb of energy before it was obsorbed into her fingertips. It slithered up her veins till it melted into the glyph upon her flesh before it faded away.  Slowly she lifted the parchement in her hand and began to write. "The tale of my peopel, do not end happily." She held up the message and peered past the paper as if looking for a sign he would back away. It was as if a dark gloom had shadowed her very presence as she retracted the page. She held the quill, hovered over the page while she kept her eyes fixed on his. She knew it would be difficult for her to write even a vague answer to his curiosity. At least to his understanding, But she didn't want any passing by ears to hear the true tail of her "Adventures"
SarinUzumaki: -Her darker demeanor, the magic being used, and her writings with a responce did not harken the dragon's reaction at all. He was concerned for her mental state when he saw her change, but never did regret or shame for asking cross his face. "If you do not want to talk about it I will understand. But I believe any story is worth telling. Honor the lives lost, in whatever way you can. Even if that means someone else must learn the lesson." His words showed an acceptance of pain, and moving through tragedy rather than clinging to it. He did not know if she could do either but hoped she would understand and perhaps even find some closure in telling the tale. Whether she told him or not, he would reach into the back of his mouth around his morals, which were sharp as a sharks teeth. There he pulled out a small ball of silver he had been working in by chewing and grinding his pointed edges against it, and revealed a small silver dove just large enough to fit onto a key chain or charm braclet. "Doves symbolize love, connections, and those we hold dear." A small loop on the back of it was able to be hooked into a chain. He did just that with it, taking a small scrap piece of thin chain one ring wide and perhaps two dozen long. He had gotten it off of an old piece of chainmail that was falling apart, and so had it here now to attach the dove too. Looping the chain around he made a small braclet out of it just large enough for a woman's hand and offered it to her in response to her glum expression. "As a reminder of the hope that today is, and tomorrow will be."
RinVonDolli: /me Her ears lifted while he spoke. In a way he made since. All she knew, was the stories her grandparents had told her on how the kingdom began up till the present day. Her lips parted with a slow beath before sighing slowly. The quill was finally touched to parchment. Thankful there were a couple more sheets of parchment on the side table she began to write. Starting from the beginning. She paused when he began to speak once more and lifted her eyes towards the small trinket. Despite the ones she wore, they were more for combat rather than ones own adornment. She didn't know many places to wear such finary without it getting either broken or stolen. Still she was fastenated by the small trinket he had fastened together and lifted her hand to lightly stroke her finger over the charm. She then had an idea. Carefully taking the charm she would tilt her head while she began to fasten the charm upon one of the loops that pierced the length of her pointed ear. They were about as much adornment as she had but even they had a purpose. Once she knew it was safely secure she offered him a thankful smile. That way she didn't have to worry about it being sliced or broken during a friendly spar or battle should it come her way She then turned her attention back to the parchment to continue to write.

SarinUzumaki: [[But I have nothing to do in my post but stare at you. o-o I would make it one line.]]
RinVonDolli: (XD True.. well give me a minute i'm still fixing it x.x)
SarinUzumaki: [[That is fine.]]
RinVonDolli: (Yeah had a horrible case of writers block x.x)
SarinUzumaki: [][ D: -patpats- ]]
RinVonDolli: /me There once was two kingdoms. One of Shadow and One of Light. Lead by Arch Warriors. The Preistess of Anulo. Known as the lands Angel. The Mage of Vlos, Known as the Lands Demon. Were at constant war for territory. One day, they decided to marry. The Priestess taking the hand from a Guardian of the Moon. THe Mage of Wed a dark maiden of Chaos. Their war continued with the different factions, until one year. The children, born between Kings and Queens had grown tired of the constant struggle. And rebeled against the war and their rulers. It was killing land, Scaring the food and destroying the world." She had to stop the quill as her hand was already beginning to feel as if it were bruning. A bead of sweat dripped down her brow while she continued. She hadn't written much at a time as she usually had her companion to act as her voice. Or she would offer a telepathic link for communication, but on a subject such as this, she didn't want him to "See"  She shrouded her eyes with a stoic expression while the bead of sweat dripped down her cheek. "It took a century to change over the rule of the land to the Children. As the people began to follow their rule instead of Anulo and Vlos.  The two factions finally met under an agreement of a truce. However those who still followed Vlos and Anulo still waged war.  The two children had fallen in love.  Growing kingdoms of their own that served as the very center of Drathir. Forbidden Romance bloomed through war and choas between the two factions. Only spurring them closer. Finally, after so long the Two children were adults and married. Forging the Kingdom known as Drathir Into a kingdom of peace. Little did the children know just how much Vlos and Anulo were against the Union.  Twenty years after the childres rule, a new child was born. A child with Golden Blood That Offers life." She had to pause, was that appropriate? She flexed her fingers before she continued to write "The child grew to be a fair young girl, The King and Queen ruled with kind hearts and loving devotion to their people and the lands. It prospered into a kingdom of peace yet held great warriors. Everyone treated the Rulers as if they were close friends rather than royalty and the child as their own rather than the princess. She learned many skills from her parents, yet was mostly fond of the forest and it's creatures." She took in a slow breath as she felt a sting in her eyes. "As the Child turned Five the days of the kingdom soon grew eerie. Soon, The kingdom's life would have been turned upside down. Happy laughter and joyous music turned to screams of agony and morbid lullabies as the Priestess of Anulo and the Mage of Vlos had finally made their move. As Spring did not bring the scent of flowers. Instead, the scent of blood and decay as they sent their armies to destroy the kingdom. Brutish men, Hungry beasts, Morbid temptress's wrought havoc upon the kingdom, killing everyone and everything they saw." She paused touching the quill to the parchment a couple of time as she hesitated "With the exception of the child. A child born between peace and union, captured to be tortured for being an abomination. While the kingdom lay to ruin, it's people turned to spirits. Most of those spirits, turned to shade. Those shades now forge beasts as they merge together. The howls of battle, war, Invasion and slaughter, now cloak the land in it's fog.  Until the childs escape at the age of sixteen. Now she travels between three kingdoms that had adopted her as their own Forging an alliance of family between friends while attempting to mend the lands." She decided to keep it short.  As short as she could anyway. She didn't think it would be apropriate to explain the depths the kingdom's agony truely went.  She looked over it for a moment before she slid the parchment over towards him. She kept her eyes forward, fixed on the quill that still rests in her hand.
RinVonDolli: (I kept it a bit short)
SarinUzumaki: [[Interesting. Not very realistic, but rarely does fantasy care.]]
RinVonDolli: (^^ Well if i put in every detail, i'd have to track down the Rpers who helped forge the story XD)
SarinUzumaki: [[ I mean the motivations for the politics. It is mostly cliche to be honest. ]]
RinVonDolli: (I know x.x But that's how it was Rped v.v)
SarinUzumaki: [[ XD I understand.]]
SarinUzumaki: -Because of how long it took to write, the dragon ordered a third drink and this time slowly chewed and savored the silver coins he got in return. Still chewing one like a piece of gum or mint leaf, he takes the paper once she handed it over and inspected it carefully. Once in awhile his eyes shifted back up to hers then quickly back down to the paper, no emotion showing besides curiosity. He put two and two together, knowing her hands were scarred and that she had some influence with the people here. The intriuge went back generations, and multiple short lived kingdoms. In the grand scheme of things this was a minor events, as it only took place over perhaps half a century to a century. It was the amount of change that was stunning, and he kind of chuckled at how mortals did things so quickly. He held it aloft in one hand rather half hazardly, tilting the page out of the way so he could look at he when he finished. "This story is most curious, young princess. I don't think you want it getting into the wrong hands." To destroy the evidence, he blew a small stream of fire to the pages corner and let it burn in his fireproof fingers to ashes that scattered to the air around them. "I appreciate you going through the motions of letting me know. My condolences. And I am glad you are still here, doing your part." A gentle smile had curled up his lips and had reached his eyes, moving as he chewed on the silver coin.-
RinVonDolli: (Sorry minion attack, give me a minute >.< she wants a PB and J)
SarinUzumaki: [[XD}
RinVonDolli: (And back XD)
SarinUzumaki: [[wb]]
RinVonDolli: /me As he set fire to the parchement, turning it to ash, she lifted her eyes to look at him. Her expression softened while she offered him a humble smile. She was never one for formal titles, which is why she never told people her true status.  "I Shead that title a long time ago. I am mere Lu'Mira now." She wrote out. She took a moment to think back upon the day she found the kingdom she soon knew as home before venturing out on her own. How timid and frightened she really was. She was deemed mentally cripple until she finally understood why she had the mind of a child. She took up another parchment. "It was over a thousand years ago. I found a new home who taught me many things. Adopted me as their own, My comapnions.." She paused "Like the Fox you seen. Have adopted humanoid forms and helped me with combat, as have the people Here in the Hall, Now I teach them and help them grow stronger as they help me continue to learn.." she held up the parchment to let him read, though there was a hint of sorrow in her humble gaze while she wrote once more "I do miss my mother and father, But i did not get the chance to get to know them very well. I got to know different people, Made a friend and ally." She lifted her hand to stroke a strand of her hair behind her ear as it had fallen in front of her face. The nieve curiosity had returned to her eyes. She had, had enough of dwelling on her scars for the time being and closed the door they were crawling out of. Instead she opened the window to the present day. "Still aiding the spirits of my people to pass over into peace.  But there are beasts that even I myself cannot destroy." She cringed at the word. It wasn't what she was doing, she knew that for certain. She scratched out the word and replaced it with a less stressing word "Defeat" It made her feel better.  She then offered him the parchment while she lifted the opal orb into her palm. She wasn't sure why it fastenated her so much, despite what he showed her it could do. It was probably just a childish fastenation by how beautiful it looked.
RinVonDolli: (Did i loose you? X3)
SarinUzumaki: [[No I was finishing up a document.]]
RinVonDolli: (oh okay)
SarinUzumaki: -His curiosity was peaked by a few things. The first was how long ago this was. It seemed that despite the quick change of events in the past, things had stagnated to a crawl. Extremely. This mismatched dicotomy of time seemed unnatural to him, but he did not really care all that much in the end. It was as it was. The other thing that caught his attention was the mention of a creature or spirit that she was having trouble with. He tilted his head at his information and took a particularly slow chew of his silver. "Fascinating. Is this something you would wish help with? I might be able to oblidge at some point in time if that is the case. " He was not a fighter by nature, and it was not necessarily fun for him. But he understood the thrill and necessity of combat in this type of world. Some things could not be bargained with or driven away without it. "In the meantime, I have asked you much about your past and I have very little to offer of my own. What else would you like to discuss? I am finding a lack of questions at this point. Perhaps now is more a time for something to do..." His eyes watched her intently for a response, unsure what her answer would be to this. It could be anything, and he was open to whatever she had in mind.-
RinVonDolli: /me Lu tore her eyes from the opal sphere and looked back  towards him. She settled the orb onto the cushion between them and picked up the quill once more. "I would not ask anyone, not even the best warriors in this Hall to aid in such a task. The creatures are not constant as they are a merge of shades that linger in the land. Some have become stuck in the hunger to live that they have continued to merge, forging bigger beasts." She paused while her eyes darkened slightly. Hesitation consumed her while contineud to write. "There isn't much to do here other than hunt, Spar, brawl" She lifted her eyes as if she were searching "Eat, drink, read and sleep.." She glared at the page as if trying to figure out what else she could add "Unless one of those merged beast find their way here, I am afraid one must intertain ones self" She was embarassed having written that out now realizing just how bored she really was. Her cheeks lit with a slight blush while she huffed her cheeks.
SarinUzumaki: -Reading what she said and looking around the hall, he sees what she was talking about. What he had called vulgar earlier still remained so, but it was easier to understand why this was all they did. They were not trapped, but perhaps content, even if he would not join them in their jubilation very often. "Well, let us find something to keep busy then. Anything come to mind? You know this place better than I." He motioned out towards the hall and side rooms, even the one they were in, as if saying that the world was their oyester. He sat up straighter and stretched his shoulders, his chest muscles, and twisted his waist to wake the muscles up for movement. "The first thing that comes to mind. Don't be shy."
RinVonDolli: /me she wasn't much for taking a break from her routine. This was her place of rest as well as training. A place where she could be herself. The only tie she took for herself to play was when she was out venturing for new companions.  Or trying to find a way to get the two most closest to her back. She straightened, The glyph upon her shoulder returned. The jade energy that poored from it slithered down the veins of her arm. A simular glyph formed upon the ground beside her and once more the jade fox leaped into view from the glowing passage way. It barked happily before pouncing on to her lap then crawled onto her shoulder draping one of it's tail around her neck. She flexed her hands while she stood to her geet and turned to face him. "I could show you the land.. At least the safe parts of the land. Perhaps you could fine aught of use for your trades. Though I am certain concidering your travels you wish to rest and replinish your strength" she tilted her head while the fox nuzzled it's head against her cheek and she lifted her hand to lightly scratch her finger beneath it's chin.
SarinUzumaki: -He looked over at the fox and nodded in greeting to it, listening to the voice she now used with its aid. The idea of seeing the grounds and perhaps finding some things was nice, but that was not the only thought that passed through his mind. "Alone in the woodlands with you, out of sight from prying eyes? How can I deny such an offer?" He stands and stretches his legs at last while storing the silver he was munching on in a hidden pouch under his belt. He did not need to take his iron bands with him which he had removed from his arm, since they would be in a safe area. Offering her a hand to help get her off the couch, he holds it gently a moment before releasing her fingers and waited for her to lead the way. His tail kept low and close to his legs until they were outside to avoid people hitting it or stepping on it in the din and bustle of the hall. His staff was also left behind with his bands for now, not needing it anymore. He inhaled the fresh air outside and turned to follow her every move, scanning her up and down with his eyes while they travelled and kept his arms linked behind his back.-
RinVonDolli: /me She took his offer to help her from the couch before she made her way up towards the throne. THe center throne held two sets of bows each forged differently by the horns of a dragon. Enforced by it's scale and bound by it's hide. It's string was a flexable metal tampered enough and braided to withstand the strain of the bow.  She picked up a quiver of arrows fastened out of the salamanders teeth with arrow heads chipped from the beasts teeth.  Yet she showed no sign of struggles with a dragon, Gifts perhaps from the beast itself? She made her way back as she looped the bow and quiver over her shoulder.  As he followed she made her way to the door which was respectfully opened by two men, they seemed like scawny butlers yet opened the large doors with ease. SHe made her way towards the arch way of branches once they passed through they arrived in the lands bitter in the scars of war. Soon the fox leaped off her shoulder and it's form began to echo with a strange chime. It's form seperated into six different clones before five of them darted off into the forest. One remained behind not only to communicate but this was a method she used to scout the area. She began to walk north. The air already becomeing sweeter and fresh but barely. The echong sound of jolly war songs fading away with each step they took. The chain she kept on her belt had been wrapped around her torso to avoid them making any noise.
SarinUzumaki: -He leaned back in surprise when the fox multiplied, having never seen this kind of ability before. Each one that darted past caught his attention for a short moment. "Wow..." Her walking brought him back to reality and he cleared his head with a shake before jogging after her. The sway of her walk was enticing as the chains and equipment jostled lightly with every step. His own pearl jewellry did the same but had nothing to make sound with either. "You look ready to hunt, yet I thought this was just a nice walk in the woods. Is there a surprise for me in store?" He did not know what she wanted to show him, but if it was meant to be special he would not push for an explaination too hard.-
RinVonDolli: /me The fox on her shoulder tilted it's head while it's free tail waved "Should always be prepared when walking these lands." Lu turned her head while she paused on the path. the hollow groans of a shade lingering by a few yards away could be heard. Another aproaching more quickly. The moment they clashed their bodies tangled as if they were struggling to obbsorb each other. When once became victor it took the form of a different creatures. This one took the form of a hound with a dripping maw of poison. It's coat decayed and molded. Lu continued to move before it caught their scent or attracted a larger beast. "It's the newly merged beasts who are the most potent.. They don't know their own strength and won't quit untill they are either forced to find peace, destroyed..., Or have consumed the flesh of the living.." She didn't want to go into anything further. She seen what had happened once when the living was devoured by the beasts. The thought made her stomach churn. She shook her head to shove away the image and continued on. "It won't be too far." The sound of vicious growling could be heard as one of the fox's clones had gotten into a struggle, yet Lu continued forward as if she had little worry for the creature.

RinVonDolli: Type to chatRinVonDolli: /me The fox on her shoulder tilted it's head while it's free tail waved "Should always be prepared when walking these lands." Lu turned her head while she paused on the path. the hollow groans of a shade lingering by a few yards away could be heard. Another aproaching more quickly.

SarinUzumaki: -The dragon kept low and quiet when he noticed the spirits. Seeing them merge was rather hard to watch, and even the creature it became was difficult to look at without thinking of something horrid. Her words were not at all comforting either, but she did not seem as uneased as himself. Following her lead, he ignored it for now and simply moved on in the direction she wanted to lead him. She said it was not too far from here, which only meant that thing could walk in on them at any time while they were doing... whatever it was she had in mind. He was now somewhat wishing he had brought his staff at least.-
RinVonDolli: /me Lu continued forward. The seafoam shade of her eyes shifted and faded between emerald, to jade, and back to seafoam while she scanned the forest area. After a while, when the growling of the fox's clone had faded in the distance, the sound of rushing water could be heard. She turned, and lifted a branch from a thick bush to reveal a hidden path way to which she began to travel. Shortly after, the path way lead to a trickling brook. It's shore, littered with stones that were sleek with an azra glow while the pebbles that made up the bed were bright like different colored treasures. "Wait here" The fox's body would echo while she walked over to the waters edge. She was acting as bait just in case there was danger near. After a moment  She'd lean forward, as if she were searching before she knelt beside the water.  She would then turn to him with a soft smile and wave him closer while she motioned towards the stone bed beneath the babbling brooke. Some looked of silver yet it shimmered like platnum. "This land has changed since it's destruction.. Some for worse..some for the better... It's not all lost in the fait it experienced centuries ago.." She would then turned to follow the brooke up stream. "You don't have to worry.. you're safe as long as you stick close.. I won't let anything happen to you.."
SarinUzumaki: -Finding the hidden trail peeked his curiosity and he fell in line behind her, keeping eyes on the shape of her form. It was curious now, how her eyes shifted and inticed. The sounds of water brought his head to cock to one side, listening carefully until the shallow brook came into view. A river in the making. He waited when he was told to, and moved up when instructed. Following directions seemed to be all he was doing until he saw the shine in the water. "Beautiful. I should have expected such from you." He instinctively reached in to lightly grab one of the silvery stones and bit into the edge of it just to test if it was real, and what kind of substance it was made from without eating it. He would keep this one on him as a reminder of both this place and the woman that took him to find it. Following her upstream, he rolled his eyes playfully at her words. "I was thinking the same thing about you, you know." At least they were both thinking about each other...-
RinVonDolli: /me The stone was in fact metal, tasted, felt and weighed like silver however there was a slight difference. Most would say there was a slight bite to it. She wasn't sure what would happen if he consumed the silver from her land, it wasn't at all like the others she had traveled. "Be careful... You do not know how the land can effect you.. It may help you grow stronger.. or it may weaken you.." Lu merely shook her head, causing the crimson drape of her hair to wave behind her form before it returned to it's sway with each step. "I have been easing the pain of this land for a thousand years now. This brook was once small and puny. Stained with the blood shead by the invasion.."  She thought back on the first day she had found her land once more. How it was ripe with angry spirits, the rage of war, the haunting screams that carried the shades through their wondering days. The lands smell once of blood and hatred, death and decay, grew fresher every day she purged the land of shades. The spirits were no problem, they wanted to find their peace. With a slow breath she turned her head and smiled at him over her shoulder, more to assure him rather than to argue, she wasn't really used to people being protective of her. "Reguardless.. Thank you.. for your conern.." She would then look forward while the fox continued "The spirits aren't the ones we need to concern ourselves with. The shades who hold rage and grudges against those who murdered them, Well... Their demands on vengence is quite powerful.." She would stop as a wall branches that draped like a curtain. "The spirits of the those who still hold hope wish to find their peace.. And seek a way to pass over. Children who were frightened during the invasion caused their terror to turn their souls into confused spirits who are constantly shifting between shade and spirit.. Though timid they are potent And only need guidance.." She reached to draw the drape of the vines out of the way, revealing an open space of wild flowers that embraced a large cliff. It's colorful stones were littered with life, the Jades fox clones were pouncing from one stonet ot he other in playful joy while the waterfall rippled the blue pool below. Unlike most of the forest, this area was clean of any spirits, fresh and full of green bushes and thick trees.  The water of the water fall was tinted different shades as the stones it fell down and the pool it filled matched that of the brook. A large stone had fallen from the top of the water fall, shattering itself into millions of peices before it was scattered along the river. "Welcome to the Waterfall of Vitality."
SarinUzumaki: -He was lost a moment in stupor when she looked back at him, the sunlight making her hair vibrantly red against the green background. The beauty of this land was emense, and he was highly considering an extended stay. Her talk about the shades and spirits brought a nod here and there from him as they walked, understanding the difference between the three different kinds she spoke of including the children. While they were walking he caught up to walk beside her, his fingers wrapping the silver stone into twine and then tying that to his red claw necklace right in the middle as a momento. The glade they came to however left him speechless, all the colors and vibrancy drawing him in. The name however was strange to him, as it suggested something rather unique. "I see... this is by far the heart of this place. If not, it should be. It is where my heart has been captured." Right in the middle of it all, near the edge of the water, he sat down cross legged and looked through the waters themselves. The peace he felt here was infectous, his mind going silent and a deep breath pulling him into the present moment to experience it all for what it was. Looking back over his own shoulder with a impish smile he motions for her to join him there for awhile. "You must come here often just to enjoy the space. Tell me, what does the waterfall do?"
RinVonDolli: /me Lu'Mira stepped into the open space. The large area stretched quite far. At least the threes that weren't sickly did. "It stole my heart the moment I found it.. Even in it's grusom state. Before the waterfall's stones had lost their glow..They were red and black with blood and grime.." She stepped forward, seeing as he had already made himself comfortable in the little oasis of peace. She paused and began to remove her weapons, unclasping the strap that held the quiver of arrows upon her shoulders, and unwrapped the chain blades from over her torso. She would take off her leggings, Leaving behind the silk fabric that stretched down her legs from the hyde skirt that draped at her hip. She removed the spiked pands from her arms and legs as well  as the circlet from her brow. She had predicted his question upon the waters of the fall so when he motioned her forward and asked of the waters she, instead of taking a seat beside him she lifted a dagger from beneath the drape of hyde and drew the edge along her hand then stepped into the water. Up to her thighs the water around her began to illuminate with small flecks that began to be drawn towards her frame. Instead of attacking her however, the flecks warm against her frame despite the cool touch of the water. The water embraced her form the deeper she walked and turned back to face him. The fox on her shoulder tilted it's head "I come here to heal and rejuvinate.." She held up her hand. Golden ichor seeped from her wound and down her arm. It triggered a faint portion of the waterfalls might as a tendril of water stretched for her palm. The small flecks inside the water cloaked her hand, A moment later the water fell back into the pool and the cut had vanished. "My blood may be able to mend others.. But I have to find a different means to heal as my own blood can kill me.."
SarinUzumaki: -He had not expected her to start undressing, but being a dragon he felt no shame for watching with a tinge of red over his nose. Watching her walk into the water was all he paid attention to, the flecks of color and moving water that healed were only second fiddle to her and her gold blood. In response he lets out a 'hmmm' of curiosity and began to unbuckle his own boots off his feet. The trousers he wore had a short kilt of several leather flaps over top it, so he could remove the trousers without exposing himself similar to her with her leggings. All he did was fold the kilt a little higher up so it would not get wet as he waded into the water as well. He had no scars, no injuries, but the water would likely be helpful to the body none the less. He felt the warmth and was pleasantly suprised by it. "This is increadible. You and this land are both wonders each. Thank you for showing me this, your beauty compliments each other well." His eyes were shining a brighter crystal rose pink than usual from the energy of the waters, making his very skin and features aglow in response to such power.-
RinVonDolli: /me She would begin to walk further into the water. She would lean forward, reaching her hand into the water a small fish began to swim by. The fish aproached her fingers, it's scales were a shimmering shade of orange, vibrant with baby blue streaks along it's fins, Anothe fish, much smaller, larger eyes and feather like fins and tails aproached, it was a dark maroon with bright mists of purple trailing along it's body, each were bigger than her own hands. The water now up to her waist caused the lenght of her hair to flutter across the water and coil around her frame. When she heard the sound of moving water other than that around her she'd turn to see him entering the pool. She'd turn to face him though her cheeks tinted with a soft blush of pink.  She often wondered why men thought someone as covered in scars like her was beautiful. It was then her eyes caught the reaction upon his skin. The water ripple around his form with a different aproach, it was as if it were searching him injuries as well as trying to figure out who he was. It was welcoming him as well as searching for ill intent.  She lifted her hands and began to fidget with a strand of hair that had draped over her shoulder before she turned to look back towards the fish that swam playfully around her. More fish of different speices bagan to aproach as well joining in on the play. "The land if beautiful yes..It will be even more so, once I am able to mend it completly" when the sentance didn't go any furhter the fox tilted it's head at her and huffed.
SarinUzumaki: "I wish to see it done one day." he says softer than before, walking up right behind her right shoulder and leaning down to look at the fish that were coming to inspect them. The colors were as diverse as the stones in the water, the flowers in the field, and the waters themselves. His hands rested on his knees when he bent over to look at them, not feeling any hunger as his species of dragon preferred bird to fish, unlike the Brass dragons who lived under the seas exclusively.  "Curious. I wonder what their species is called. I would love to have their color of scales." As he spoke the angle of his lean brought the pearl threads back into his face, annoying him slightly as he tried to blow them back into place and straihtened up his back to do so. The pink roses in his hair justled and one fell out to float on the surface of the water, glistening like crystal in the reflected light back up at her while he fidgetted with his pearls.-
RinVonDolli: /me She turned to see him peering over her at the fish "I am Uncertain what speices they are.. I did not get the chance to learn of them when i was young.." the voice from the fox seemed hinted with sorrow. "I wish i had learned. They are quite the unique fish considering the ones I have seen during my travels." she continued to fidget with a strand of her hair. The fox leaped onto his shoulder when it heard her take in a slow breath. She sunk under the water, crouching to get eye level with the fish. She oftened wondered why animals and creatures were attracted to her.  She rarely aproached most of the companions she held in her mass. Was it her scent? She naturally smelt of fresh morning dew in spring hinted with Berries and warm rustic wood. Nature with a sweet twist. Whens he stood above the surface once more she ran her fingers along her hair to push it out of her face.  As the water ran down her flesh, it seemed as though a transparent layer coated her skin, There they were, The millions of scales that served as a protective cloak. Yet their current trasparency revelaed just how many scars her seemlingly flawless skin bared. War, torture, battle, agony. Both playful and angry scars littered her flesh. The fox barked and wagged it's tails while it remained on his shoulder.
SarinUzumaki: -As he fixed the pearl threads back into place he nearly fell over from the fox jumping onto his shoulders. Steadying himself by stepping back with one foot, he watched her disappear under the water. She was in an odd position next to him where he couldn't see her, and he watched from above the water. Reaching out to take up his dropped rose, she came up glistening like the sun with her hidden scales and he was enraptured. "Wow... you make me jealous of how you shine. If my scales were silver like my birthright I would enjoy the water even more." Instinctively he reached out to fix the rose into her hair, now dripping wet like her skin and clothes were. He traced fingers down her hair when he pulled his hand away from the rose, then down her arm if she allowed it to trace her shiny skin in wonder. "The scars do not hide such wonder from the world. Nothing ever will."

RinVonDolli: RinVonDolli: /me She turned to see him peering over her at the fish "I am Uncertain what speices they are.. I did not get the chance to learn of them when i was young.." the voice from the fox seemed hinted with sorrow. "I wish i had learned.

Nothing ever will."

RinVonDolli: /me She ran her hand along her hair to smooth the loose strands out of her face before she turned to face him. Her ears twitched slightly as he commented on the trasparency of her scales. She had forgotten to pull them back beneath her flesh. A blush of embarassment slipped across her cheeks while the sickly sound of moving flesh could be heard.  The odd layer of transparent scales were sinking back into her skin while her form shuttered. The air that brushed her skin caused chills to rise upon her skin. The fox tilted his head and continued to wag his tail while he merely watched as Lu opened her lips but only to close them causing the fox to huff through his nose at her. She stared at the waters surface for a moment while the fish continued to swim around her. When she felt his touch however, fixing the rose within her hair she lifted her eyes to him with a bit of confusion. The water dripping from the rose following the trail of his finger that traced along her hair and down her arm. She wasn't familiar with the maner of his touch. That much was obvious from the curious yet confused look in her eyes. She looked to the fox to which lifted it's head as if egnoring his duty of being her voice which caused her to glare at it stubbornly. After a moment it tilted it's head before leaping over into the water closest to the shore before paddling towards the land and darting off into the woods. She bit onto her bottom lip and huffed. With a slow sigh she looked back up towards the an and lifted her hands. One hand, motioned towards and away from her lips of which she hoped he would understand she ment speach while the other lifted towards her head, pointing towards her temple while her other hand then motioned away from her lips to point towards him. She was asking if she could forge a communication linke through their mind and hoped he would understand.
SarinUzumaki: -He chuckled as the fox leapt away and left them alone, unsure if it felt they were having a moment or just was playing some sort of hard prank on it's master. She seemed to be annoyed at it for a moment but then started signing to him. He had never learned sign language but the jestures themselves were simple enough to understand. Mind, and speech. Mental telepathy. He nods in understanding and quiets his mind the best he could, though it was swimming with emotion. Awe at the location, a fluttering feeling towards her, and humor at the fox that had just left. These would likely bleed through any link if he was not careful, and being untrained it would likely be so. "Sure. If that is easier for you." He did not want to make her recoil from his thoughts, so tried his best to let them be fluid and drift off into the aether. His hand fell away from her arm almost immediately after she started signing, resting on his hip in a cocked fashion while her shiny scales disappeared to his disappointment.-
RinVonDolli: /me Releived he was willing to forge a mental link she focused, however when his hand fell away from her arm she paused. Lifting her right hand, she was almost hesitant while she pressed her fingertips to his temple.  There was an odd flicker of purple that misted the seafoam shade of her eyes. Giving the green seas a dust of dark stars. He'd feel a soft warmth trailing from her fingertips as well as the brush of warmth against his brow. It was like a breath of summer brushing away the cold bite of winter. Should he accept the warmth, the link on her end would be silent, at least untill she realized it was established before he heard the echo of a voice much different from the one that came from the fox. This voice was smoother, soothing and calming, youthful yet strong. "Apologies... My scales are normally only out whenevr there is a threat.. Being within The Hall and the forest both hold their own dangers.. However it can be quite the strain if left out for too long.." She paused and tilted her head down once more, staring at the waters surface once more "And.. Apologies for the telepathic link.. I won't pry or delve into your thoughts..Jade has been helping me mend my voice but it isn't strong enough yet.."
SarinUzumaki: -He figured that her touching him was part of the process and closed his eyes, leaning into her hand like a cat would but without the nuzzling. The warmth came with it, so he let it fill his brow. Once the link was established he listened closely for a voice, and it found him without issue. He did not have to speak through the link but tried it anyway, just to see if it work. "I understand. This voice is much sweeter to listen to, so I am glad for it." A smile spread across his face and he reached up to take her hand on his brow, slowly removing it but holding it gently like it was made of glass. Still in the mind, he spoke again as that fluttering emotion crept up from his stomach. "You have so many unique traits that I find enticing. It is an honor to be bound to you like this." He loosened his grip if she wanted her hand back, letting it rest between them otherwise. The other came up to tap her forhead back so she would look at him, the dragon getting much more comfortable around her to the point touching was no longer awkward.
RinVonDolli: /me Once the link was officially established, she went to draw her hand away from his brow when his voice returned to her. She paused however when she felt his hand upon her own. The way he held it was strange to her yet she relaxed her hand in his while she listened. His hand around her own was gentle, careful. Did he assume she was so delicate despite her positon i the hall? At least she wondered. As he continued she tilted her head as he mentioned his enticement over some of her traites.  Her ears twitched, of which the charms of her piercings chimed, The dove charm he had given her swayed along with the rest.  As his hand loosened from hers, she'd slowly withdraw it to her chest and curled her fingers into a light fist.  "Most find them strange... odd... even unflattering.." She shifted her head slightly  when he tapped her forehead which caused her to blink. What he felt from her end of the link was curiosity, sorrow and agony, however it wasn't just her he felt. Instead he could feel several mass's within her. Some of both light and dark ends of power. However, there was one that stood out above the rest. It was wicked and filled with Malice and chaos. That presence itself was evidently a being trapped within her. It struggled against her bonds and thrashed for control. It was a constant struggle to no end that seemed exhausting to that of normal people. Yet despite her restless eyes she showed no sign of fatigue or exhaustion. Instead, she seemed nieve and curious. She did her best to hide away the masses within her not to give him any worry. "You... Flatter me.." it was simple yet she felt so humbled by it, and it showed while she offered him a greatful smile.

SarinUzumaki: -Her mental strugles, emotions and words all brought up that fluttering feeling in full force. It shoved back the negativity he was feeling and entered her mind as if it was all the dragon was focussing on, especially when she called it 'unflattered' and the lilke. "No, you are... inspiring." He acted on his own, arms wrapping around to pull her into something closer than the dance they had before. A hug, of all things, if she allowed it to be. His thighs sloshed around the water noiselly as they moved to capture her weight just like his arms had done, ready to lift her lightly as part of the embrace. She would be so light compared to the heavy muscle of his dragon body when not human that he would probably overcompensate, pulling her right out of the water against his chest if she remained willing. More than just warmth, but presence of being spread out from him like a tidal wave. Not any supernatural force, just the feeling of something alive and loving against her. "Whatever you think is unworthy in you, cannot bare witnesss to this moment. You are more than worthy of here and how, with me."

RinVonDolli: /me Inspiring, it was the first she had been called such a word. She lifted her eyes from the surface of the water however she tensed when she was pulled into his embrace. She wasn't intirely sure on what to do. She never really embraced those who had adopted her as their own. THe tips of her ears drooped slightly when he hefted her above the water. Considering he hadn't shown him any threat, she never would have thought he would be as bold as to embrace her. She was speachless, despite the Irony. A since of shock buzzed through her nerves. She didn't Look to weigh much at all, she merely held the phique of a well toned woman in her earliest twenties for someone her size. She would think she would weigh more considering the beasts and creatures who were bound within her. HEr fingers curled upon his shoulders while she peered down towards the water. The fish would swim away if he lifted her fully out of the water. Scattering in all different directions in a circular wave around the pool beneath the water fall. Her ear twitched when his words reached her mind. She was thrown a loop from his words, she wasn't intirely sure how to respond. THe feeling of his embrace was quite unfamiliar. However it was strange the way it caused the surface of her cheeks to waken with a light pink blush. He'd feel the thrum six hearts within her body. "Thank you?" the responce was hinted with confusion yet she lightly tilted her head to where her left ear rests against his chest. She focused, as if she were listening to his pulse.
SarinUzumaki: -The sensation of her hearts was odd but comforting to him. He did not even notice the fish swim away as the tips of her toes left the water and her legs dangled against his own, or perhaps lifted to rest on his hips if that was more comfortable to her. She would hear two beats from inside his chest, one of a strong heart beat nearly the size of her head from the sound of it, despite the actual size in human form being smaller. And a second mystical humming of power from not a heart, but a seperate organ entirely. A third pulse began around his waist when he felt the warmth coming from her face and looked down, his nose dipping to brush against her hair. "I think I want to ask another favor of you, this time the debt will be mine." But his favor was not a question, isntead an act. He leaned down and brushed lips against her warm cheek, the gentlest of kisses against warm flesh, then pulling away to let her head rest against his chest once again with her ear listening. If she pulled away from this he would understand, and not persue it any further. "Just tell me what you want in return." he would say if she allowed him this small act of affection upon her skin, a success just adding to the growing blood flow he felt hitting his gut area.-
RinVonDolli: /me The pulses she head from him made her even more curious.  She listened to both his words and what pulsed beneath his chest. With every pulse brought the flow of blood though the tangle of energy that hummed through him. It was odd how she found the heart beat so fastenating. Her legs dangled along his, She felt quite small compared to him. But she never did bother with the difference. Large or small all will fall. A phrase she chanted throughout her days in battle.  However that wasn't the case here. The brush of his lips against her cheek stured her from her thoughs and the mention of another favor entered her ears. She opened her eyes to which they were now a strange shade of emerald, Mists of gray flecks clouded her eyes that shifted to a pale gold. "What Kind of favor? And what do you mean the debt will be yours?" She inquired though cautiously while she slowly lifted her head. "I truthfully do not have anything i need in return.. If it is more food for your travels, or items for your trade, there are other places in this land we can go that has aught of use" She shifted her eyes towards his gaze "I did insist on giving you a tore of the land."
SarinUzumaki: -She had not understood what he meant, that was for sure. His original intention was the favor would be the kiss on her cheek, but since that did not register he thought a moment, then came up with another. "This place here is enough for me to see, as long as you are in it. But the debt...." he paused half way through his sentence and leaned down again to press his lips against hers, soft and as gentle as the one on her cheek. "... will be whatever you find worht a stolen kiss." He had always heard a fine maiden's kisses were worth more than a kingdom's bank of gold. If this was true, he was digging a debt far deeper than he could pay at the time. It would be worth every coin. "If you need nothing in return, as you say, I might just take another." A wink and a tongue sticking out o his lips showed a playful nature behind it all, but his face so red showed his embarrisment, and the quickening of his heartbeat showed a true emotion behind his actions.-
RinVonDolli: /me She tilted her head at his words. What was so worth the sight of her? she wondered. It was when she felt press of his lips against her own did she understand his favor. If it wasn't enough she naturally smelt of a rustic forest ripe with sweet berries, she tasted like the necture from honey flowers and her lips felt of velvet soft and only moistened by the water. The blush on her cheeks brightened to a dark red causing the seafoam shade of her eyes to widden with shock. The pulses in her chest quicked, the thrumming of each causing her frame to beat heavily. For the time being her mind was blank. She couldn't grasp the words to respond with. The red on his fave however revealed to her his own embarassment in contrast to her shock. She pushed away from him slowly while she lifted her hand to her lips. Her wide eyed stare had not changed except to blink "Apologies.. It was the first anyone had done such an act towards me.. I am afraid I am at a lost for words.."
SarinUzumaki: -Her shock was expected, and he loosened his grip just enough to let her lean away but still stay out of the water. The taste was nice and comforting, with his own taste and smell being of pine soot from a fresh fire and high altitude cloud mist on the breeze from a mountain top. The fact he was her first kiss did bring a tilt to his head however, as she was much older than he yet had never been courted before. "You are always full of surprises I see. Those who paid you no mind have wasted a chance. I am honored to be your first." She was beyond any thought of just a fine maiden. She was the theme of song and tale, in his mind, of what a maiden should be. "You need not say anything. What do you feel, should be the focus right now." He himself was feeling connected to her at the moment. Neither of them had much experiene with socializing or romance, and it was comforting to know they were on similar ground now. He had only had one kiss before, and it had been when he was young in the form of a child. Now it seemed different as their bodies felt each other's warmth skin to skin, with only few clothes inbetween and skin asunder in blush. -

SarinUzumaki: -He let her lean away from him in surprised just enough to rest her weight on his pelvis and dipped his arms beneath her thighs to keep from dropping her. He paused when she mentioned it was her first kiss and smiled a bit, not expected that. "You put all your time into this land, and take none for yourself? Or I suppose no one has seen you the way I do, that is hard to believe. But how does it make you feel? That is the important part." He takes in every sight and scent, sound and taste of her he had just experienced, trying to remember it. "You are only my second kiss, and the first was when I was a child. Still in human form, it was more of a friendly one. This one has been deeper in how it felt." A red tinge spread even deeper crimson across his nose and cheeks, admitting his own lack of social graces.-

RinVonDolli: /me Lu'Mira lightly pressed her fingers to her lips where his had just been. Though she allowed her to lean back she merely sat upon his arm as if it were a tree branch as he still held her against him. Her other hand remained upon his chest just beneath his shoulder. The glowing blush on her cheeks reflected in her eyes. HEr eyes lingered towards the waters surface to hide the embarassment in her gaze and bit lightly onto her index finger knuckle. "I want to get this land to it's former glory.. I am hopping.. That.. At least Grandmother and Grandfather has forgotten an abomination like me" There it was.  The self hatred she had born for herself since her capture. The man could feel the beast stir slightly within her through the mental link they shared.  Almost as if it were chuckling. "The unworthy one is me.. At least that is what I beleive.." The embarassment was cloaked by searing depths of her guilt. At least the guilt she thought was hers. She took in a slow breath and lifted her eyes towards his once more. Amongst all the pain in her eyes, she looked towards him with gratitude, the blush still lingering upon her cheeks. "Though it was a surprise you would be so bold to act as such towards me. At least for a moment I was allowed to feel worth something.." she tilted her head, she was shoving away her pain.THe link grew silent however while she looked towards the side to ponder. He had already figured out who she really was. She lifted her hand from her lips and lightly touched his cheek while she stared towards him once more. Tilting her head to the side while she leaned to kiss his cheek "Thank you, For giving me a this time of peace, and a moment of hope."
SarinUzumaki: -He accepted the kiss on his cheek in return, seeing that despite her self doubt there was still a strength there. And he was glad to have had a part in it. "You are most welcome. But this moment is not yet over. If you like we can stay here awhile more. You have surely seen others spend time with each other's flesh. It can be meaningless, but between us it could be more. Use whatever hope you can get to heal the land you adore so much." Her hand upon his cheek, he rubbed the skin against her palm and leaned in to peck at her nose, then her cheek, then her lips again and intended to linger there if she let him. Whatever hope he could instill in her, he would do his best to make it last. His legs were getting tired now so he moved towards the shore and sat her down upon it, but kneeled there in front of her so they coud remain in embrace. He did not want to be rough, though knew some people enjoyed it that way. As someone who had never even attempted such intimacy he and she alike would probably prefer a gentle touch. Running fingertips over the skin of her thighs and back, he wanted to make it enjoyable as possible while they were together. Sex did not have to happen for him, though he knew it was a possiility,  just an intimate time together be it with lips, hugs or gentle words.-

RinVonDolli: /me Once Lu had finished fastening her belt, she looped the chain around her waist. Her ear twitched, causing the charms and the dove trinket on her ears to ring. The seafoam shade of her eyes had began to fade into a depths of amythist. The cat like slits of her pupils formed into orbs while her vision flexed into the distant reaches of the forests trees. in her left hand she clutched her bow, it's thick arms connected by a handle small enough for her grip. She kept a single arrow notched on the mithril rope draw string while it's point was held by her index finger upon the aim point. With each passing tree it seemed they lost life with each step. The scene around them had began to transform. From green and lush, vibrant trees to dieing lands. Trees had wilted before long while grass soon gave way to gravel and dirt, fallen trees as well as saplings who have adapted to the dead lands. Barron lands. There were graves, dug and decorated with headstones marked with names in an ancient language. It was a mere whisper, however one could hear the very whispers of the villagers final moments. Lu's expression had grown dark, as if a shadow had cast over her features. A veil that cloaked her eyes the bitter end of her innocent days as a child. Stone rubble were scattered upon a mountain top. Crumbled walls of what looked a castle that had been build inside the side of the mountain. She paused at the area of which looked to be where the gates once were and lifted her eyes. Even though they weren't there any longer, she was looking at the large doors that used to barr her path in and out of her home as a child, While she lifted her hand, she gently grazed her fingers along the stone while the link echoed with her soft voice. "I'd imagen they wouldn't look as big anymore..." It was a slip, as if she didn't realize she had allowed it to pass into his mind, she ventured forward. It looked cleaner than any ruins, however it was her doing, as she was attempting to rid the land of it's spirits and rebuild. She paused just inside the main hall that connected to different sections, A large assending stare case that looped towards an upper floor. They looked tired and worn, scarred with both time, and war. THe tattered carpet that clung to the steps still seemed stained. So much golden had permitted sapplings and other shrubbery to grow within parts of the walls and some of the roots assended towards higher floors. The whole area seemed to be a dreary place. Some place lost to destruction so long ago yet she still strives to renew it. She paused while her ears lifted and twitched almost like that of a fox's, listening to her surroundings. Her fingers grazed the walls while she continued into the depths of the castle, taking the hall that lead further into castle and furhter beneath the mountain.  "Most of the lands riches were left behind to wither, however age does not harm material from these lands very much." The proof was the rich veins of metals that spread throughout the furthiest reaches of the castle walls. To make it easier to see, Lu lifted one of the blades at the end of her chain. A glyph began to form upon her left hip, it was a soft blue, nearly white shade. It's energy ran up her veins till it seemed through her hand and into the handle of her weapon. THe Blade on the end of her chain, whcih she now held in her hand, served as a light source, allowing him to see the glistening veins on the walls to be shown to him. "And there are plenty more other riches to find.

SarinUzumaki: -Slowly their treck brought them into darker lands, barren of life as if an ever creeping corruption had spread. But quite the opposite, it had come to call. What life was still renewing here, the dragon took interest in for a short moment each as he passed them by. The slow mulching crunch of shifting gravel underboot was all he heard for a time as they came close to the castle itself like a single piece of stone carved out of the mountain side. He had an instinctual urge to make it a home, like most dragons would, though his urge was not as strong as other species. His scales my be red, but his heart was silver and wanted a more sky kin abode. Despite its duress and distress over the ages and events, he still found it interesting and curious. Her mental projection went nearly absentmindedly unnoticed as he took in the sights and smells of the area. Once inside he could smell the dust, regrowth of ages, and even the hidden veins of natural ore hidden deeper within. "This place is vast, I can tell. It is surely a masterpiece aged into current dawn."  Despite the past curiosities he wanted to see, he took her lead and followed her guiding light into the ore veined passages leading deeper into the mountain. "But where are we going? I doubt you would show a hungry dragon straight to the vault and chamber." There was likely plenty down here, but there wasn't a purpose in showing it all to him. He was thinking deeper than that. There was another purpose, another thing for him to see. Something perhaps... personal?-

/me One would think the further into the castle one went the deeper beneath the mountain they became. That was not the case. Taps could be heard, as if the small steps of a child running through the halls could be heard. Giggles of such children pulled her attention towards the door to her left. She grasped the handle of the door still in tact with it's frame and eased it open. The moment she held the blade to illuminate the room it was empty, with the exception of a few bones scattered across a floor where aged toys lay resting.  She doesn't visit the castle often in these days. All she found were the bones of those who once lived there. Her eyes lingered upon the bones of the children, they were so small. She turned from the room and paused to stare at the room across from it. She paid it no mind any longer before she turned back down the hall way. Such a labrynth of hall ways this castle was, it was odd even she remembered how to get her way around the place. "The top level of the castle was where the Empror and Emperess lived. This castle served as the home of many great houses of these lands.." She finally stopped at the end of the hallway, It was scratched, scarred, pierced and ravaged. "This is the guards quarters.. They shielded the treasury, and the library." There was a pause when a soft blush slipped across her cheeks "A-and of course the memories of precious children.." She lifted her hand and dug into her pouch. An odd key was retreated while she unlocked the door. With one simple turn of the key, a horde of mechanisms could be heard as it creeked and groaned. It took a few moments for it to finally return to silence. She grasped the handle, despite it's large and thick size, prying the door from it's nest and swung it open with ease. Dust fell from the wall around the door from the rattleing groan the door made with it's heavy hinges.  She stepped inside and held up the blade a little higher however when she saw the tourches still nestled into place, the illumination from her blade faded, leaving the room dark. The energy faded from the glyph on her hip only to vanish from sight while another upon her chest, nestled just at the bottom of her sternum. It glowed a red glare like that of fire. It's energy shot through a path of veins and along her arm while she focused the energy into the blade. It's metal became red hot to where as she touched the tourch it lit with fire. The energy faded and she replaced the blade back upon her waist as she picked up the tourch. The energy did not vanish from her hand however. She scooped up part of the flame as if it were an object, into her fist, while she opened her fingers flames burned at each fingertip. With a swift sway of her hand, orbs of flame shot towards each tourch that lined the wall causing the room to light with life, revealing not any treasure of gold or silver, but ancient weaponry with enough for an army. Trinkets with mystic properties and many many more. There were also adorable little stacks of toys and glass figurines of goddess's and God's.  Must have been where guards where twisted by the pleas of children wanting to put their most precious toys in the treasury. "It isn't like This kingdom goesn't have enough to forge more.."  She walked over towards one of the glass figurines. A small woman with lenghty Silver hair, Emerald eyes and tender features, pared with a small man, with shoulder length red hair
