Nodding she walked over to him, setting the plate down next to him, he seemed rather at ease on the floor where he was. Then she took to getting her own breakfast, once again going to the fridge, but this time drawing out only an orange. Aura wasn't much of a breakfast person. Looking back to Cymarron, she nodded in confirmation of his statement about Eclipse. "He's not really a wolf, nor a mix of bird and dog. He's not even an animal. Eclipse is actually a mass of dark energies that took it's own form and made it's own mind through an incantation."
"You forgot the soul bonded to you part Aurahkah dear." Looking over to Cymarron again he gave a chuckle, the sound echoing a little off the fairly empty kitchen. Though the sound was audible from the creature, his muzzle never even twitched. One ear dropped back in lazy fashion. "Forgive my silence...sometime my thoughts get tangled in the morning and its hard for me to speak or rather think out loud like this."

"Cymarron doesn't mind the silence, dark one."
His ears perked at the mention of a bonding of souls, and the use of the term 'dear' that eclispe used to describe Aurahkah. his claws dug into the meat from the plate, and he tore at it heartily. gristle, fat, meat, even cracking the bone and suckling the marrow form it. nothing edilbe was left on the plate. He ate quickly, effeciently, and placed the plate on the table, unsure what else to do with it.
"Soul bound? the mistress and the dark one are...mates?"
He glanced between the two, somewhat amused, licking his jowls of any juice or blood that may have been left over form teh raw meat.

Bastet stood with Nelphean on top of the roof, gazing out over the forest. They were a tangle of arms and one tail as they held each other in a comfortable silence. Though much before it became a blur, Bastet knew she way happy...
In real life, Bastet lay on the couch snuggling against the cusions. She made soft purring noises as the dream played in her mind, and through her happiness she levitated roughly a foot off of the couch. As the fragments of the dream scattered in her mind, she yawned and stretched, turning around in mid air until she was looking down at the couch. Large cat eyes opened to see that she was suspended in air. A yelp accompanied a plop as she fell face first back onto the couch. "I have really got to control that..." As she sat up straight, she dragged her claws lazily through her hair, combing it as much as she cared to at that moment. Her ears perked up as she heard voices, two she recognized and one she did not, then her nose followed scents, including raw meat. Her tail hanging almost limp behind her, she wandered to the kitchen with one ear tilted to the side, noting the feline creature. She nodded to everyone in the room, "Hello..." still sleepy, she went to the bar to make herself a drink, but managed a chuckle at the coming explanation to the newcomer.

Aura and Eclipse both exchanged an rather awkward glance before both broke into a half amused half embarrassed laugh. "No, no. Eclipse's soul is just bonded to my own as a way of assuring his life and a power sharing between us." In all her years she had never heard that one before, it was quite amusing actually. Her eyes went to Bastet taking comfort in the available change of subject she brought. "Morning Bastet, this is Cymarron." So saying she gestured to the figure on the floor.
Eclipse stood, stretching out a moment before padding over to Bastet,, nuzzling her arm in greeting. "Hello Kitty."

She shuddered involuntarily at Eclipse's nose, all the impending doom talk had worried her and made her a bit paranoid especially in her sleepy state, zomed out state. She had not been paying full attention. With a smile lighting on her face, she scratched Eclispes nose slowly, and moved her claws from here to his chin, behind his ears and down his back, "Hey Clipsy." Taking a sip from her drink with her free hand, she recalled what had been said when she had zoned out. "Hello Cymarron, as stated I am Bastet. Nice to meet you. Aurahkah, no coffee? Funny, since you got back you just have not needed it have you?" She smiled playfully at her friend.

"I've only had one cup since I came back. Though I had to fight against getting a second one.", she shrugged it off. "Just haven't been a coffee junkie lately." Piercing the skin of her orange with her nail, she peeled it part ways, picking at the fruit, eating in small bites.
He gave a soft bark to her at the shudder. "Sorry, cold nose." He let his wings slack slightly at her scratching, enjoying his attention.

"Yes, cold nose silly hawk dog." She scratched under his wings idly, the scratch now becoming light. "And Aura, where has Vincent been? I have not seen him since before you guys left, I expected you two to be inseparable." She meant this not as an insult just too much curiosity for her own good. After all, ithad gotten her in trouble before. Her gaze wandered to Cymarron as he stayed quiet. What had brought him here? It was the question to wonder with each new face, and was so frequent in the Manor.

"When I left the bed this morning her was still sleeping. But you know him and his own freakish hours he keeps. He was up and about yesterday...breakign things no less. And we can only spend so much time in on another's presence. Too much and we start throwing things." She laughed softly, the joke commonly known."
"Hawk dog? I thought I was Clipsy to you. I'm not a bird..." So saying he played up the puppy act, both ears dropping back to play the part as well.

"Aw, poor Clipsy. You are many things to me." She kept the smile on though even with the unclear allusion she made and nuzzled by his nearest ear.
She transfer the nuzzling into shaking her head. "You two are bad. I bet you wanted to throw something at him when he was breaking stuff. What did he break anyway? Not part of another room again I hope..." She could imagine Jaxom and Coban throwing fits as Lotus was being summoned to clean the mess.

Eclipse closed his eyes, leaning his head into Bastet's as she was nuzzling him. All was balanced in the world."And one of those things is a nuisance isn't it?"
"First, he broke my front doors. Then," She pointed to the table, which was also free of scratch marks now as well, and also to one of the chairs. "He broke my table and chair, and put a gash in my far wall. Not to mention some foliage destruction to the trees around here, but the rain took care of that." Finishing off her orange she threw its remains into the garbage and washed her hands off at the sink. "So...how's things with Nelphean?"

Idalla, sealed away in her room, shut out all others for days as she stewed over how to deal with all that she new was happening to her. 'Friends' and 'enemies' the concept were interlinked in her mind, and anyone who held sway over you was both. Her fate was held in what she had done and would probably do again. If word hit certain people, it would be the end of her. Kill them. That would never work. She thought, answering silent commands sent to her hapless mind. I dont want to do that to them do I? I could just go and never look back, I've a free ticket on this plane for now. The cowards way out. You cant bring yourself to deal with them on your own. I cant. Im too afraid. Then you dont have to raise a hand to strike them down. Someone else... Someone else? Where, who, when, and how? From home. "Yes... from home." Idalla mumbled half audible to only her empty room. She stood up from the floor where she had been sitting, hugging her knees tightly to her in fright as she thought these things like she wasnt sure if they were real. From there she slipped from her room and out towards the rickety wooden thing hanging on a tree outside. Open it swung and infinity was inside.
Idalla walked the corrider for the first time, having only heard thousands of times about its design from Calcryx. The old fool was thorough if nothing else, linking this one corridor to every place he was ever interested in revisiting. A good number of the doors were locked or marked clearly with danger signs, but a few were more simple. Home, Lab, Library, Observatory, Personal spring, Treasury. Each of them were locked as well, leading in to Cal's personal areas, whether they just be secluded god knows where or entirely not of this cosmos. She was interested in the treasury.
Tightly locked as mentioned, nothing would work to open this portal, and breaking it certianly wasnt an option. Luckily Calcy was a bit of a fool and the key was hidden atop the frame of the door lining the hall, just as Idalla knew. She gave him a sweet thought of thanks for his unique personality, twinged with how she was abusing it, as she fumbled for the key reaching over the little ledge to grab at a key ironically made invisible yet hid in an obvious place. Key in hand, she openned the door and passed into the vault and out of sight as she sealed the door behind herself.

Cocking her head to the side, she looked at Eclipse a moment. "No, twas a nuisance once, but I trust it to never be once again." She put a small emphasis on the word trust as she whispered into his ear.
"Damn, I would have made him fix it all if I were you. Then again he would have most likely just broken everything more." With an exsasperated look on her face at his mischeviousness, she moved back to her alcohol and finished it off. "You just can not leave me alone about that since I let into you so much can you?" A sigh transformed midway into a smile. "Hm, he is not as bad as we thought he was... He has actually been restraining himself lately. I am glad to see that he is more than just a charmer." The reflecting pool of her mind tried to regain previous parts of the memory, but those images seemed locked away. "Not like I want to, but I can not get him off of my mind."

"Can't get him off your mind...I remember those days. Now don't get me wrong, Vincent's still there...just not intoxicating every thought." She smiled to Bastet with a laugh. "And no, I can't leave you alone. You teased me so very badly after all. Glad to know that the elf does know restraint though, changes the light he used to stand in."
Eclipse's gaze turned serious just an instant as she emphasized that word. Did she really have to do that in front of Aurahkah? Giving a snort he turned his attention to seemingly followed the talk. "Aw, I won't be able to tease him with Quicksilver anymore."

Darius focused not too hard and made himself go invisible. Running to a nearby stream, he jumped into the water to lose the scent of the trackers they had brought with them. He ran along trying to make as little splashing as possible. Now that he was confident the stupider of the goons would lose him, or at least be too lazy to continue, he unfolded his leathery wings and took flight making his way quickly to the manor. Once there, he settled quietly onto the roof and rested, only then becoming visible again. "I can't believe this, still after me! I'm really not that important."

She knocked Eclipse smartly on the head, though still playful. "No, I guess you can not." Eclipse seemed paranoid though, she whispered it to him and Aura was not paying attention after all.
"Yes, he intoxicates my heart and mind. At first he stood in that same light he had always owned, but I guess he just proved himself... Odd one he is." With a tilted head she looked to Aurahkah, "Funny that I did not peg you as the vengeful type anymore. I guess I was wrong though."
