Ziqua finished eating and whispered to Sylvie “I-I th-think I'm r-rrready t-to t-talk now,”
“Fine,” Tygarr growled “But I'll have you know that lizarrd has had plenty of time to poison the kitten against us.”
Mordedana having finished breakfast quietly headed upstairs. She sighed. “Captain, isss there anything you would me to do?” she asked.
Tygarr snarled “You're the spitting image of that lizard and the armor of Neriak...”
Mordedana sighed “I have not had a chance to acquire new armor. And I would rather not talk about my mother... it'sss a bit of a sore topic.”
Mazsra was fast asleep and didn't hear the sound of her cell being unlocked.
“Actually I had two things to ask you,” Telsi answered.
Calish made his way down and stepped to stand behind his fiancee “I'm not letting you out of my sight Enavra again.”
Telsi leaned back into the Dark-Elf. “Vhyrenia, this is my Fiancee Calish Matriel, this is Vhyrenia, she and her husband have offered to help me over come my um...”
Calish nodded “Thank you,”
“I'm sure they could teach you some tricks about being Mortal married to a Freeblood.”
“I don't need help I...”
“You're going to get your self killed unless you learn your limit.” Telsi answered him.
Calish sighed.
“The first favor is we were going to go to the temple today and finally be married. I would like another witness other than the guard...”
Calish nodded “I'm a Swashbuckler now but guards still make me uncomfortable...”
“The other favor is I have a job, that I need help with. I need to track someone down... and memories as to where they are are skewed...”

“Well, there are other ways to get someone's attention.” Senriala answered the smug Arasai “If I hear it happens again you will be out. Do we have an understanding?”
Tetri nodded “Ah... well I was raised by an Elf...” she paused for a moment “Mother was 898 when she took me in...” she sighed. She looked towards the young Fayberry.
“I'ms fines,”Fayberry answered between coughs.
Calarys rushed to her daughter and picked her up “Rests withs mes,” she carried her protesting daughter to the table and sat down.
Fayberry stopped her struggling as her mother sat down next to the new mother. “What's his names?” she asked fascinated by young infant.
Calarys sighed with relief glad to see her daughter relaxing and feeling better.

Kyriu sighed. She wasn't sure what else to say for awhile “The balance in this case is you saved Alteriq's life... you were the only one who could do that.”
“Yeah and I don't regret that... but... you don't understand, you can't understand...”
“Aly I'm trying... it could have easily been me...”
“No it couldn't have.”
“You don't know that,”
“You're half-Feir-dal Ky! Feir-dal can't be turned! Even if it were possible you're a Monk! No one cares what you are or what your diet is. I'm a Bard. If people find out what I am they're not going to come listen to me. They'll just want to see the Unnatural freak!”
“Aly that's not true...”
“I've seen people change their opinions of me... just because I'm careless in my smile... or just now because I was honest...”
“Aly I...”
“She accused me of turning Little Al.”
“Aly...” Kyriu struggled for the right words of comfort but none came. “You know you didn't...”
“But to have someone even suggest...” she bit her lip to stifle the scream of pain.
“Someone needs to look at it... and I have an idea who. I'll be right back.” Kyriu turned and headed into the other room. “Toska, think you could look at Aly's wound. I think she has an infection, but we need someone we trust who has some experience with undead.”

Bettana nodded. “Aye, well I should probably be letting you get to your ship captain. My daughter will serve you well in what ever you are doing.”
Xia frowned “Hm... well if he's coming with us then maybe we can be friends and I can cheer him up.”
Bettana smiled at her daughter's words.

Carl continued to look away from Samuel his next words were deep with his shame “I received a pair of weapons which made me stronger... but while they made me stronger... they changed me. When they sent me out after Jake, I barely remembered who he was. And when I did remember it didn't matter... I slashed his throat with void energy from the claws....” he shuddered “The Elf I... it doesn't matter... I heard her whisper something before I felt the pain in my back. When I woke up I was in the slave quarters and I couldn't feel my legs.” he hung his head lower “The first thing I asked for were my claws... but as soon as I touched them they rejected me. It burned like nothing I had ever felt before. Shortly after that I was betrayed and possessed.”
Zach started walking towards the Guardhouse “Captain Yenter I believe is the one on duty. He's nice, but you really need to work up trust with him. He's also a Fae, but don't let the size fool you, he is a very capable warrior.” he explained as they walked.

“Sorry,” the Lieutenant apologized to the Fae who gave a hmph before gliding away. The lieutenant helped his charge up before nodding to Brienae.
Brienae sighed and glided up to the ramp. She jumped off the side of the platform landing gracefully on the ground below.
The lieutenant gave a mischievous grin towards the Iksar “So would you like to jump” he asked as he stopped at the edge where Brienae had gone down.
~~~~~
Relane heard the cry and used her Shadow Walk Ability to teleport to her daughter “Stinsmia, I'm here,” she whispered “You're alright, it was just a bad dream.”
~~~~~
Finara glided around the temple until she found Lamia. Seeing her appear frozen she assumed that the screaming must have startled her “That's Lazera, she was a promising young Warden, but she had a run in with a gang of sick Freebloods in Qeynos and became a Freeblood herself, we're not sure what to do with her.”
Inside the room Lazera snarled. She was trying to fight back for control.
“We know what she needs,”
“Aye, a stake through the heart.”
“Please help me...” Lazera managed “I just need...”
A wood-elf priest bumped into Lamia on his way into the room with a bleeding raw steak.
The Freeblood tore into the steak like a ravenous beast. A few of the priests in the room with her wretched.
Next to Lamia Finara could see into the room and lost her own breakfast almost on Lamia's feet.
As she drank from the meat Lazera returned to normal. The vines still kept her movement restrained.
“Lazera, we can't doing this.” One priest said who was clearly in charge.
“I just need more time to adjust. Nature hasn't destroyed me so I think I can overcome the pain that comes with healing.” Lazera answered looking up “But I can't ignore my dependence on blood.”
“Well if this happens again Lazera we will have no choice but to destroy you.”
((I also like Fae as well as Freeblood.))
