 Nox chuckled, but decided to tell Winter later that some Water creatures could be quite ... enthusiastic about having an excuse to drown someone. As for Lord Behemoth, he gave a gravelly chuckle. "Very well, we may talk. The rest of you, if you have nothing further to say, are freely dismissed. As for you, Lord Winter, let us speak." The Lords and Elementals began departing, flying, swimming, walking, or fire-teleporting away. A few staying though, amused at seeing an elf talking to the Earth Lord.

CHASE & WINTER
"Well... That went better than expected..." Chase muttered, shaking his head a bit and smirking. "I was almost positive Winter would have made more enemies. But no... Only every creature in the ocean hates him now." He snickered.
Winter blinked, blushing a bit and resisting the urge to jump up and down at the fact Behemoth knew his name. Instead he quenched the fire of excitement and calmly walked over. "Well... It's a couple things actually... I've heard stories from my servant, Loren... He's REALLY old, so he seems to know a lot. Elves back in the old days used to have quite a bit of powers over nature. My old village is one of the oldest, with houses still grown out of trees. I was just wondering if you were the one that stripped that power away."

Nox chuckled at Chase, going over and laying next to him while Behemoth and Winter spoke to one another. "Well, now he's on par with me, so I guest we just won't have too many trips to the beaches then. And be careful around lakes. And swamps."Behemoth smiled, and shook his head. "No, that was not I. But, if I were you, I'd ask a smaller elemental creature. A smart one. The oldest of their kind far outstrips Lords like myself, and they are creatures of nature itself, not controllers or Lords."

CHASE & WINTER
Chase snickered and stroked Nox's head. "He didn't swim much anyway, unless you count the Olympic sized pool in the backyard of his manor."
"Well obviously he was smart," Winter said, nodding. "I mean, Elves are stupid, in all honesty. We abused the power and used it as an excuse to claim dominance over any race that dared to compare their selves with us. We're... A very sheltered race and I don't like that. You look at all the Elf villages and you see that no other race lives there and they have magic wards up to keep everyone out. My brother and I used to be just like them... Pompous little bastards, we were. But then I died and I finally got to see what our race was really like. Sure... We act all nice, but behind backs rumors fly. What I really wanted to ask was... Is there anything you can do to help us become more... I don't know... Accepting? Nice? Not assholes?"

Nox grinned, liking Chase petting his head in any form. "Good thing Water creatures of any kind don't like pools. Too synthetic." Behemoth chuckled, pondering it. "Well," he suggested, "getting out of the sheltered life you had made you a better person, perhaps forcing the sheltered life of all elves to be a bit less sheltered would be good ... Not to the point of leaving them defenseless, but maybe just to the point of meeting a new race. Elementals can get in and out of many barriers simply because Earth is inside and out, Air, Water, Fire.
I cannot change people against their will, but perhaps meeting gossipy Air Elementals or suborn Earth Elementals would teach them a bit? What do you think, Lord Winter?"

CHASE & WINTER
Chase chuckled a bit, leaning back against Nox. "Yes, hopefully I won't have to worry about him getting eaten by something bit, slimy, and nasty. Though I was hoping he wouldn't get too involved in this meeting, I'm glad he seemed to help you out some." The assassin had honestly thought about sedating Winter when he started talking about splitting the isles in two...
"Mhm!" Winter nodded excitedly. "That's actually what I was thinking but I had no idea how to go about it! Maybe then the Elves wouldn't be so full of themselves or selfish! I would really do them good to have to rely somewhat on other races. And it's a lot better than Vik's idea. Genocide may solve the problem, but I highly doubt that's the RIGHT way to solve a problem."

Nox nodded. "Yes ... mostly during that topic everyone would start yelling so loud Behemoth would have to stop the subject before anyone drowned or fried anyone else." He nuzzled the assassin with his nose, thrumming. Behemoth chuckled, the sound akin to stones grinding smoothing against one another with a rock slide providing some background noise. "Oh, genocide? Reminds me of a Fire Lord. But I'll mention it to the Air Elementals and Earth Elementals to be less shy around Elves ... after they get used to being social, they'll love to get into the elves busniess and gossip on their own. The way news travels by Air, the elves will be wondering how the information travels faster than the wind. And the Earth Elementals will love doing some gardening of their own; actual good gardening."

CHASE & WINTER
The assassin snickered a bit, patting Nox's nose before placing a kiss there. "Well, it seems Winter is good for something."
Winter grinned and nodded. "I'm glad you're willing to help and thank you for listening." He bowed. "It really is an honor to meet you in person."

The Fire Lord's eyes glowed a bit more brightly at the kiss, and he chuckled. "I'm sure your brother is good for more than just 'something,' Chase." Nox grinned, giving the assassin's face a light lick with his tongue, being extra careful it wasn't too hot. Lord Benemoth nodded, seeming to smile. "Oh, it was quite the pleasure. We don't often see elves in our meetings. And the smaller Elementals have been shy for quite too long. Perhaps they'll benefit as well." His large head gave a small bow in return. "Safe journey, Lord Winter," he said, before turning to go, several golems popping up to hop, walk, and hobble along beside him.

CHASE& WINTER
"You're right," Chase agreed with a nod and a snicker. "He brings me strawberries."
Winter grinning and waved. "You too!!" he turned and ran back over to his brother and Nox, practically glowing from excitement. "Did you see that?! I was talking to a God! That was so freaking cool! And he's going to help the Elves learn to rely on others! Isn't that freaking amazing?!"
Chase just shook his head and got up, ruffling the others hair. "Yes big brother. That's amazing," he said with a kind laugh. "Anyway... Shall we get going or is there more?"

Nox chuckled, giving Winter a poke with the tip of his tail. "What about me? I'm about the same as Behemoth; just a different Element." Though, seeing the elf so excited was entertaining. "No, there's no more. Usually something big comes up every so often ... a tidal wave, or earthquake or something. Then we have a very long, argument-filled meeting." Nox walked over to the fire, sticking a claw in and gesturing for the other two to go in first.

CHASE & WINTER
"Oh, w-well, you're cool too!" Winter said quickly. "But Lord Behemoth was the the one we worshiped back in our old village. So it's like meeting an idle or celebrity!"
He was cut off when Chase playfully shoved him in the fire. "Ahem... Did I do that?" Snickered, he followed Winter through.

  Nox laughed, but turned back into his human form before going through as well, stepping back into Chase's rather less-than-pretty apartment and closed the door of fire behind him, a line of ashes on Chase's floor from the gateway. Nox smiled at the two of them, then gave a stretch. "Hm ... what's for breakfast?" the Fire Lord said, licking his lips. He was pretty sure he knew what Markas was having for breakfast ... Ignis. The Fire Lord snickered at the though. Ignis was curled up by Markas on the dragon's bed, both of them dozing in the time well, after having some fun, the salamander smiling softly and finger lightly tracing an unknown pattern on the dragon's arm.

CHASE & WINTER
Chase snickered a bit and ruffled Nox's hair as Winter flopped down on the couch only to jump right back up as a spring stabbed him in the butt. "You know me... Whatever you want to eat. Pancakes, waffles, bacon, eggs... Winter, your ideas?"
"A new couch..." The Elf answered, sitting down a bit more carefully. "Or... Raspberry crepes!"
MARKAS
The Dragon shifted a bit, smiling slightly and blowing fire on Ignis. "Heh..." He yawned. "Ignis... Would it be weird for me to say I love you?"

Nox look like he wanted to drool. "All of it ..." he said, swallowing. All of that food sounded good. And getting to eat all of it ... yeah, he was a glutton. But he was also a Fire Lord, which sort of made devouring loads of things in his normal nature.
"Hm ..." Ignis thought, not eating the fire but enjoying the warmth from it. "Only if I didn't want to say this back ..." the salamander smiled, leaning close to Markas's ear and saying softly: "I love you too." He gave a small yawn too, hugging the dragon close. "You over grown iguana ..." Ignis added with a chuckle.
