Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hands clasped together, her left fidgeting with the bracelet on her right wrist. Aura was just hoping she didn't' get ripped apart. "Well you see, I wanted answers from Nelphean. He suggested we talk somewhere else so as not to wake you. We went to the library, and he well...got rather tranced looking and kissed me...twice. I know he doesn't mean it because the look in his eyes. And his words. He looked fearful of what he was doing, and he told me to get away from him. As for where he is...I locked him in the library, Eclipse is staying with him to take care of him right now."

She nodded. "Yes. I'm having Eclipse keep constant watch. If you want to see him...just let Eclipse know." She couldn't help but feel bad. The story did sound bad if one did not listen carefully. Averting her gaze some she sighed, she knew a forced smile, she'd been forcing enough of them lately. "Bastet...he's not like that anymore. You know that. He loves you Bastet." The words tasted bitter on her tongue. How could she say that when Aurahkah herself had just been burned by love. Or rather false love in her case. She shook her head and reached a hand towards Ecara, that was promptly grasped. "Come on Ecara, we need to fix our room up." With another sigh she turned from the two feline like creatures. "You know him Bastet. He would never mean to hurt you....excuse me...I have changes to make." So saying she made her way from the great hall and down her own to her room, Ecara in tow.

((Well, I need to do some things before my mother comes home. Be back around....6-7ish perhaps. Perhaps sooner, depends on how long it takes me. Later guys.))

Bastet nodded, hearing what her friend said and holding hope in it. But aggressive? How aggressive? Aura had not really seemed hurt, akward, but not hurt. It seemed almost like they were not meant to be, they had the little problem where he was stuck in her head and she thought he was ignoring her, the dispairing battle which thankfully he lived through, and now this. Loving was hard, trials seem magnified and more difficult to get through instead of the cliche where love could conquer anything. It was all a huge test after all, but then she shoul not give up so easily.

After turning to look at Cymarron who was very quiet, she flopped back, lying on the floor deep in thought, still warring with herself. Mayhap it would be better to focus on another subject as she thought of Cymarron, "Tell me about your trials in the battle."

She had to pick through his words trying to picture what he said, and what she saw was not fun at all. It seemed that everyone had had their own problems and suddenly his seemed worse than hers. There were many things from this battle that had to be recovered from and dealt with. "You had a hard time, it shows a lot that you survived. Vik had chains coming from his back and called you a house pet? That seems crueler than him. Johnavon, however, I believe would taunt and have a hidden beast of his own. He can have quite the problem with others." Now that she could step back and analyze things, it occured to her to question something, "How did Nailah get there above us?" She sat up enough to look at Cymarron, "And how did you control the beast enough so that you could even try to help. I remember him wanting us to take down a barrier you put up, so that he could eat us." She laid back again as deep in thought as ever.

"Hm, that is interesting, and there is no "might" about it, it would have finally been able to eat him like you have been talking about, though I do not think you could gain much from me. I am glad you got control of it." Pondering whether to go see Nelphean, she looked at the library door as if that would help her decide.

"You sure you want to cut it that short?"

Aura turned from her reflection in the mirror, sharp short dagger in hand, to the spirit that was standing behind her. "Coban, how are things coming."

"Smoothly. We finished the inside, maybe a few little details and the like. Jaxom is finishing up outside. Remind me to give my thanks to Sir Cymarron for the help of his own spirits...made everything go all the much faster and smoother."

She turned from him, measuring the length she wanted in the mirror again. "I most certainly will. He sounds very upset about what happened."

"Let it be a little longer than that. And if he feels he should be yelled at for something, I would pick the way he stands. So...subservient. It seems rather cruel to have anyone stand like that, or be broken into a habit of such. No, longer than that."

"If you tell me to leave it any longer, then I will accomplish nothing. As far as Cymarron. I don't know what happened to him. He hasn't really said anything concrete about his past. I don't intend to force it." Gripping both blade and her hair firmly she yanked the, cutting her hair neatly so that now instead of the raven locks falling to her waist, they only fell to tap the top of her shoulder blades. "What you think Coban?"

"Perfect. Now...do you think it possible for me to leave now and rest a little. A spirit can only take so much restoration to his home before he grows weary."

"Oh stop being dramatic, go on." With a laugh, the spirit disappeared as Aura stood, shaking out her hair and taking a look at it's new length. "Not too bad looking at all." With a nod to the mirror she turned around to Ecara. "Come on darling, you don't need to be cooped up." Taking hold of the child's hand, Aura led them both from the room.


One ear flopped back. "You are a strange strange elf." He watched him jump about and the like. "And it is you who is trapped in here. I am merely to keep track of you." Then the other ear dropped back as Nelphean was now on all fours. "You are looking to get bit...aren't you Quicksilver?"

Eclipse merely snorted then invoked his own shadow powers, performing a sort of shadow walk maneuver. He stayed stationary but changed his form...so that when Nelphean leaped, he fell right through him and the only thing the elf landed on was the floor. Shaking off the power he stood and turned to look at Nelphean. "I was told to watch you...now, must I forcibly bind you like an animal?"
