Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jez tickled his side; "You want me in tent so no one can see your naked kitten running around your tree in the morning wondering were her lover man is?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Toole found a decent contractor who began work immediately. Toole took his amulet off and waited for Ailes to show up by the tree.

Jezabelle nudged him in the side; "Liar, I've never seen your wings that color, but I know what the one close to it means. Well it is kinda the first night of our wedding, care to seal the deal, because even though I'm young it's customary. That and my first time, with you, at your tree, in a tent, just the two of us...no interuptions."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Toole continued to wait looking around for any signs of her approaching from other directions.

Jez sighed slightly; "you have a plan then, something tells me had my mother not become and issue i wouldn't have found out about the true meaning of the bracelet until a set time passed. Jez took his hand and started to walk back for the den; "So when were you going to tell me I married you when you put the bracelet on me?" Jez sounded curious but in good spirits.

~~~~~~~~~~

Toole lurched back on his hind legs his wings causing a strong wind to wash over Ailes. He came crashing back down on his fore hands, He held a slightly annoyed look that faded quickly; "Hello, taking after Motasa aren't you, he loves to scare his older siblings..." Toole brought his nose back up and let it touch Ailes cheek softly; "The best I can do for a kiss love, unless you want a bath which I don't recommend at all. However if you're ready have a seat on top, and we'll get on our way.

Jez was rather confused why he would wait three years to deliver news that she would love to hear that day. "Why would you wait three years to tell me something i've wanted to hear since like 2 years after we met. Honestly Ian, you don't need to hide things from me, i would be overjoyed to hear such things. All you had to do was ask and i would have surprised you witht he speed I put it on my hand."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Red Oak pond, its a quiet little place i can both relax, and all i ask is that you conviently make yourself unavaialbe to be reached by your family." Toole took off and was staying low to the ground; "A few moments to us and yes we should make it back in time to catch the teleportation to Nictaros, unless I'm flying everyone there which i don't mind doing."

"Sheesh, well i guess that will have to do, that almost eliminates the reason for me going to nictaros, but i'm going anyways because the second options requires the same enchantment plus one i was never taught." Toole passed the pond with the red oak tree, he kept going, and he eventually ended up near a large lake in the foothills of very tall mountains. He landed softly and walked to a small cabin near the water.

"A small place I built to come and unwind the week after I vistited Harpers Ferry, and i'm the only one...well we are the only ones to know it exists here when it comes to my family." Toole moved around back to where a large barn with a chimney stood, and he moved the bolder aside. He slid the doors open and folding his wings tight to him he entered the barn.

He put his amulet on and caught Ailes when she dropped down. "There we go, safe and sound..." Toole set her on her feet; "This is the equilavent of my workshop back home. I believe you're familar with it, or at least the 23rd step down from the pantry." Everything was coated in a thick layer of dust, but Toole opened up a long drawer, and on the crushed velvet lining of the drawers were bright gleaming swords, finished, they were paired swords because there were two of each desgin.

He found the ones he was looking for, the midnight blue handles, with the silver hilts, and he closed the drawer after taking the matching hardshell leather scabbards. He slid each sword into their scabbard, and wrapped them in a light blue cloth until he looked to be carrying a bolt of cloth rather then two swords.

"Ailes, these two swords are my gift to your sister for the help she has given me in protection of my children and home. Considering the dark nature of her scythe, am I correct in picking a midnight blue color, because i have a black set at the house with gold hilts. I didn't take her to be one to like the flashy nature of gold, but you know her better than I do so your opinion is very much appreciated."

Jez shook her head; 'Toole wouldn't eat you, upset maybe, but our sprites play a critical role in what he manages so i doubt he would go beyond a stiff word or two. Besides that he wouldn't do anything to hurt me, and there is also the fact that what is done is done. You cannot undo marriage because you don't like it or how it came to happen. Then there is Ailes, Ailes would mellow out Toole, so there are many factors working in your favor. Don't get so hung up on the fact he's a dragon and talks like he doesn't like you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Toole nodded; "Well, that answers one of my latter questions I had for you, but I hope she likes these, they are enchanted to take the will of the user and amplify it into destructive energy if it connects with another blade. How Vermillion explained it, you have the ability if your will is strong enough to chop a sword cleanly in to." Toole shifted the bolt under his one arm and held out his hand for Ailes; "I' thinking some tea on the porch would be a more proper setting for our talk then a dusty old workshop."

Jez shook her head; "No one ever said that being married is easy, and that familes always agree with the outcomes. What has happened to me in the past is perhaps why he is overprotective of me. However, you are that happiness, so he can't destory you without killing me in the process, so you have ntohing to fear from him anymore." Jez walked along for a bit; "Well your combat skills are impressive, but your is a singluar descriptive word. One in your position commands many, your strength is not in just your skills, but in all the sprites you lead and believe in you as a ruler. If it ever came to a fight, push that old sense of duelmanship aside, to fight myf ather you use what makes you the strongest. Through your people and leadership in the fight my father would be easy to defeat. You ever go on vacation before?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Toole walked with up to the front door, he took a few logs off a piles beside the door, and unlock the door with a touch. "Sure, your tea always tastes better, i make it too strong, but anyways i'll get the stove fired up and and can take it from there. The hand pump by the sink is connected to a well, the pot should be on the stove top if I remember unless jez put it away." Toole opened the door and the inside was imaculate. Not a spec of dust on anything, and the air smelled of mountain herbs. He bowed; 'ladies first, and welcome to my home away from home."

Toole sat down beside her; "Yeah, thought about moving my house up here once or twice, but then again if i lived here full time the place would loose its value to me. I was thinking of moving my house into the forest since it would make it easier for Jezabelle to come visit." Toole reached over and rested his hand on top of Ailes; "So besides gold suiting you best have any other favorite things?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jez sighed; "No wonder he's in such bad spirits, how can any sprite be happy if he's constantly working, and only gets a break to do something traumatic like taking a life. well perhaps when we get back from Nictaros we can assist him somewhat and give him a chance to have some time to himself."
