Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I know you're both right. It's just...hard. You have to remember that once did kill friends without care. Both as high priestess and tomb robber. So, it doesn't feel that far from possible to me." She sighed, propping her elbows on the desk. For the first time she caught sight of Vik, sitting on the floor with Munalisk, both next to her chair.

Looking back up to Bastet and Nailah she sighed. "Should...I tell them? I mean I don't know if Vincent and Saradin need to know what I did...it may just make things unstable between us all."

Eclipse laid his head in Aurahkah's lap, whimpering slightly. "That certainly explains a lot my Aurahkah...

Nailah sighed, "I agree with Bastet but I do know that this is going to be difficult for you and them. No matter what someone is going to be hurt as a result of this. It is a touchy situation." She stood up and walked to one of the shelves, scanning the books as she talked. "I'm sure things are running through their minds, after all they did see their own bodies, lying dead on the floor. But at the same time, Aurahkah was killed by Vincent. He is probably going to be dealing with that. Against my better judgment I have to say to go ahead and tell them if you feel that it is the best course of action. I am an empathetic and as such I tend to avoid the situations that put people in either sorrowful or angry moods. But again I will not tell you what to do. The choice is yours."

Bastet patted her friend on the shoulder, "But the fact is that you will be able to do it again, and you will move on and know that this made you stronger. It is good to tell them only if they ask, because then they would be ready for whatever you would tell them," She looked to Nailah, "Sometimes, as hard as we try those situations can not be avoided." Then she looked back over to Aura and blinked once, "Your eyes are blue. It makes it harder for you to hide in the shadows."

Nailah nodded, "Yes, I know. It's one of the downsides of being an empath. We tend to try to avoid making people feel upset because we feel it. All of it. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make it seem like I was telling you what to do. I'm not. I just..." she trailed off unsure of exactly how to tell Aura how she felt. "I just want you to do what you feel is right." She cursed the antidote that she had taken and the powers that she had been given. "Aura's eyes freaked me out. They were so other-worldly and wild. Almost primitive. The eyes of...Eclipse. The eyes of darkness."

"Old fashion sai battle..." Aura smiled at Nailah. "Don't worry about it Nailah. I bet if I find a mirror and a dark place, I could freak myself out." She turned her attention to look at Eclipse who's own glowing azure eyes shone back. "Well darling, do they really look like yours?"

Eclipse wagged his tail and looked up at her. "In the dark, yes. But in the light they are your own chocolate colored ones. Perhaps you are tapping into my half of our spirit bond when you're in the dark."

She laughed softly and leaned down, placing a kiss on the wolf's nose. "Perhaps that's exactly what is happening. It makes sense."

Bastet grinned, "That sounds fun. I could really go for a five course meal." She got up and moved towards the door. "And he can not keep us out forever, especially if we are hungry. It might cheer you up Aura, so what about you?"

She looked up from the wolf and to the girls. "Sounds like a plan to me. And you're right Bastet, besides it's technically my kitchen. Come on Eclipse." Aura stood and followed by Eclipse, she passed both Bastet and Nailah, heading for the kitchen.

The sound of several familiar voices drawing nearer sent shivers down Saradin's spine. They were coming for his food. There clearly wasnt enough time to hide it all away, and stopping them wasnt really an option. Instead, he slumped into a chair stressed by the coming interuptions and awaited the axe to fall.
