"Yes, it takes some getting used to." She gave a curt nod to Nailah and this apparent Cole and as she passed Khenu by she ruffled his hair and then joined Bastet at the sink. There she grabbed a rag and wt it then ran it along her sai blades, following Bastet's lead in keeping it from sight of the others. What was happening down in the vaults was their business. She looked over her shoulder with a warm smile, masking what had earlier been something somewhat mroe cruel. "Good evening to you Cole."

Khenu let out a laugh at the attention from both women and the display of Aura's powers. It was like phasing only it had a cooler name. He set Bolt up on the large dining table and then took a seat at the table and then ratted out Cole. "Cole dropped a glass and broke it."

Nailah watched as Aura cleaned up the blood from her sai. She raised an eyebrow. Where had she been and what had she been doing? For Khenu's benefit she kept silent on that subject. But she intended to get the story from Aura or Bastet later. She saw Cole's eyes widen at Bastet and almost laughed. It must be a lot for him to take in. She smiled at him and said, "Cole this is Lady Aurahkah, the owner of the manor. And this is Lady Bastet. Don't let her appeareance frighten you. She really is sweet." She stood up and walked over to the counter. "Does anyone want anything? Cole, more coffee?"

Cole nodded and walked over to the one called Aurahkah. He bowed in front of her and said, "Lady Aurahkah please pardon my rudeness in entering your manor without your permission." He lifted her hand to his mouth and kissed it, much the same way he had with Nailah's.
Turning to Bastet, he repeated the gesture with her paw. "It is wonderful to meet you all. I hope I am not intruding. I was hoping you could offer me shelter for a few days. I seem to have gotten lost in the forest and this was the first shelter I found."
Satisfied his story sounded plausible he watched the two through alert eyes. For all outward appearances he looked to be innocent enough. But he was calculating in his mind. Peace Giver rested by his side, ready to defend him if the need arose. He hadn't missed the blood on the weapon or the casual way it was wiped off as though it had happened many times before, as well as Bastet's actions at the sink. Yes, there was a lot to be discovered here. Ane he intended to find out just how much of the stories were true. He shook his head. "No thank you milady Nailah. I am fine."

She finished cleaning her paws at the sink and dried her fur before it could stink much. After accepting Cole's gesture, "People are never intruding here, unless they are a threat. It is good to meet you as well." She winked at Aura and moved over to the bar to make her special drink. Downing a gulp of it she tried to kill the evil glint that her eyes stil betrayed. "Aw, we came up here so quickly for a broken cup? Oh well, it is good to see that Khenu is feeling better anyway." She walked back over to Khenu and brushed a paw agianst his cheek. "Sorry I could not heal you." She absently pet Bolt as well.
Bolt arched to meet Bastet's claws and started purring loudly, moving back and forth so he could be pet.

"Oh did he now Khenu? You know you shouldn't rat people out. It's rude at times." She laughed and gave her full attention to this Cole. "Of course you can stay here. You might see some weird things here, and some odd people but that's how it is." She laughed again. "And my Gods girls, he has chivalry! The true kind at that! Not all is lost in men after all..."

Khenu smiled up at Bastet gripping at her paw with small hands. "It's okay. You made the pain go away for a while. And you saved me. Heck I could of fried but you didn't let that happen."

Nailah shook her head. "Chivalrous to be sure. But he is still a red-blooded male." She thought of his earlier thoughts. Fully male, she thought suppressing a laugh. She shook her head and walked over to the bar. "I need some wine." She took a wine glass and poured the blood red liquid into a glass. "Mmm. I love this stuff. One of the greatest things ever created." She brought her glass to the table and took an empty seat. "So, Cole, where are you from?"

Bastet laughed at the comments flying around. "Chivalrous? But of course Nailah, chivalry in it's purest form is dead because of the men today, but at least a glimmer of it still exsists in some."
Then she smiled down to Khenu, "I would never let that happen Key Key. I just wish I could harness this power somehow, so that I could heal others and not just myself."

Cole raised his eyes as Nailah, who couldn't be much more than nineteen, got herself a glass of wine and then professed to love the drink. He wondered how often these kinds of things happened around here.
"Well, I don't really have a home. I simply wander from place to place. No roots, no ties. It makes life...easier." He sat back in his chair and watched the three.
"How old are you?" The question was directed at Nailah but he was curious about all of their ages. None of them looked to be any older than his own twenty-two years.

Aura reached back, slipping the now clean and dry sai into it's holder on her belt. She leaned back against the counter as she listened to Cole. She wondered how he would react to the answer of the question he just asked. Sh opened her mouth to ask but then closed it again as she felt the barrier to Eclipse slip away and the wolf grabbed her attention, making her zone out from the entire group and the conversations.

Bastet nodded, "That is an easier life to be sure. I wandered around a bit myself, until I came here. They wont let me leave." She meant the comment ot be harmless whether it sounded that way or not.
"I, good sir, am 5000 and some odd years old. I lost count quite a while ago. I will leave it up to them to tell their ages." She shrugged and lifted her drink to her lips as her eyes calmed with the light conversation.

And the conversation was getting all grown up like again for him. The big words were starting to come out Niah was at the alcohol which meant it would be passed on and then Khenu would get even more lost than her was as this point.
He yawned and smiled lop sided and sleepily at Bastet. "I'm sure you can find a way. And even if you can't you do a good job of it anyhow. I think I'll be able to get some sleep tonight. I couldn't last night." He gave Bolt a final pet. "You can come in later when you're sleepy buddy. We'll play tomorrow." With a wave to them all. Khenu phased out of their sight.
((And I'm out. Cya))

Nailah looked at Cole over the rim of her glass. "It seems that you think I am too young to drink. Well, the last time I checked I was about," she thought for a moment and then said, "3019. Give or take a few years. So I think I'm quite old enough to have a glass of wine. Would you like one? I would be more than happy to give you one." Nailah said smiling.

Cole's eyes widened. Were they immortal? Or had they just used some kind of spell to stay so young and yet grow so old? There were so many things he needed answered.
"5000 and 3000. Well, I must say I was not expecting that. You all look wonderful, considering your advanced age. I am very curious as to how you do it? That is, if you don't mind. And
He turned to Aurahkah. He was very curious as to see how old she was. She had not answered so he assumed she was offended by the question. It had been pounded into his head to never, never, ask a lady her age. "I'm sorry if I offended you, Lady Aurahkah. I seem to have forgotten that you should never ask a lady her age. If you don't mind, how old are you?"
