Nelphean felt his heart sink again, and he turend towards the window to look at Rakka's blood. Why does everything he say make me hate him more... Nelphean laughed, not knowing what else to do. He laughed softly, like a child at a surreal joke.

If Saradin had his memories, he would of known the answer that she would of give already. It was the same one she always gave to that question, no matter who asked it. "Nothings wrong. Just thinking too hard again." Not a total lie but partly. Yes something was wrong, but she was also thinking too hard. Saradin made a good point...what would of happened if Nelphean had shown up with Rakka. Both would of had the hard realization that what they remembered, or at least what Rakka remembered was a lie.
Eclipse gave a nod as the Vah vanished. "He'll be pleased to hear that." He approached Cymarron, drawing back Ecara the slightest bit. "We will not fix you, you will fix yourself with our help. First lesson, keep your eyes from the dirt."
Ecara was starting to forget the smell, partly because there was so much in her system it was like it was common. At least until it was gone and it came back to her again. A fanged smile. "Phoenix."

((Long time no type....sorry about my absence...I back now though. he is nice big post, make up for time gone.))
Brown hair shimmered in the light streaming through the forest trees, the majority of wich was pulled back in a pony tail, though bits and stands hung forward in to a darkened face, though by dust or by tan, it was hard to tell, and probally a little of both. Green eyes, like tha of an elves', flicked a pericing gaxe across the landscape before them, appearing as if they could see through anything and evrything that stood before them. It was a young woman, that those eyes belonged to, tall and slender, with an equally slender and elegant blade on her back, and a quaterstaff in her hand, which was, at the momen, being used as a walking stick. She wore her share of scars, most of wich were paler than the rest of her skin, untanned. A glimmer of recignition flashed across her face, as she stood on the edge of the forest, looking upon the Manor, leaning against her staff, one hand on a dagger at her side, its mate glittering black in the light on her other hip.
She turned and looked at her companion, a large beast of a creature, scales of emerald green, and eyes like the inner fire of a pair of blood rubies, long lihe tail swaying behind this gargatuan beast, this dragon.
"Isn't it good to be home, Larie?"
The girls voice was soft, deadly, but held a wuality of unfathomables softness and light to it, one would think she actually was an elf, although her body was that of a human woman, around her late teens, or early twenties, with an unmeasureable wisdome flitting behind bright green eyes.
The She-Dragon nodded slowly, the top of her head brushing tree branches as she did so. "'es it is Mother....'ow 'ong d'you think we've been gone to them? a year, maybe more??"
the girl shook her head, shrugging nonchalantly, brushing her tousled dusty hair out of her face. "I don't know Larie...I'm not even sure if any time has passed at all for them...I suposse the best we can do is hope it hasnt been so long that no one is here anymore, eh?" She laughed lightly, jumping from her perch on a rather large rock, and walking up to the steps, the She-Dragon right behind her all the way. "I guess the best way to find out is to go and see." She smiled, and held up her hand to knock, pausing slightly, before hammering on the door firmly, causeing a loud baning to echo through the halls.

"Well Aurah, what are you thinking about then?" He didnt intend to let it go so easily, she was dodging. And Nelphean, he was looking for something he didnt have, or couldnt really have as the case may be. "Both of you now..." Saradin sighed. "Its hard to let go of pain, but you can. Try to keep only what made it special enough for you to be so hurt."

His eyes moved up immediatly, as any slave would when given a command. he opened his mouth to say 'yes master' but closed it before that came out, saying what the keeper used to say to the master.
"As you wish."

"One thing that hurts me is gone and the other I have back." Clear to her, cryptic to them. "Other things that hurt me are beyond my very control with little salvaging to be done." Rising her mug from the table she retreated to the comfort of her coffee addiction of the moment. "Exactly what I'm thinking,"She shrugged, "well, about you, and Nelphean, Nelphean, me, Bastet, Nailah, Eclipse, Ecara, Cymarron. Everyone." She sighed again and nursed her coffee. "Old habits die hard."
Eclipse rolled his eyes and sat back on his haunches. "Don't do it because I said to, do it because you want to. Heck, you don't want to look at me, fine then don't. But don't be afraid that you're going to be chastised for it."

"Riddles. Why do I get the feeling that those are all I'll get from you? But doesnt mean I wont try to get more." Nelphean was still silent and best left to his brooding for a few minutes, so Aurah garnered his full attention. "One thing that hurts you is gone." Saradin repeated cautiously, trying not to step on the pain. "If its gone and was the source of your pain, why does it still hurt?"

Everyone is hurt these days. Nelphean turned, and looked at the very stressed woman, he felt guilty about his impact on her life, he wasn't even real. He walked up behind Aurahkha, and placed a hand on her shoulder, and released a burst of warm energy into her body. The healing power would cause her no harm, but it might warm her heart. "So that's how I cure people." Nelphean said in a playful voice, hidding his pain as well. There was one question on his mind, but her cryptic response was proof enough that he should not ask it. Nelphean knew very well reason why Rakka wanted to come home...
"What are you drinking?" He realized that Saradin had said something, then felt sheepish and backed away.

"Thieves often speak in such terms." Then she looked to him as his tone grew serious. "It still hurts because I feel a fool for letting it get to me in the first place and letting myself believe something that wasn't there." Her attention shifted slightly as Nelphean's hand touched her shoulder, and also that little burst of magic. That's right, that's why she never truly gave in to it all. She had them. Aura then suddenly shook her head and put on a smile for them both. A look up to the elf behind her. "Coffee. Careful, it's addictive."

"Cymarron did not mean to look at you, you were simply in front of him when his eyes came up."
He smirked lightly, before his eyes moved to Ecara, and around the infirmary.
"This place is...familiar. but it seems like a long time ago. It felt like years to us...years of playtime with them. Scents are familiar. Names come to us. but we don't remember where we are, or who to give ear too. who has command over us. Who are our teachers?"

"Nice." He said softly, not very keen on joining them, Saradin rubbed Nelphean the wrong way, "I'll look in the friginator for something... other." He said, using the joke he and Rakka had for the almost magical device in her kitchen. Nelphean loked upon all of the devices, and guessed the tallest on was the legendary fridge.

"Be careful with your smiles, dont wear them for too long if they arent real." Saradin smiled back and took her hand in his, patting it gently before letting go and adressing Nelphean. "That goes for you if you want try it. But yes, coffee, very addicting and good for keeping you full of energy. To the point that you never know when you should have gone to sleep."

Yes, that was Saradin all right. And then she let her mind go for a moment, under their comfort. "Friginator...that's an almost frightening way to think about it." Aura shook her head and gave a laugh. "Or to the point where you forget what time is altogether."

"Sleep?" Nelphean said in a very confused voice, "I'd rather not talk about that..." He said a moment later, his head deeply searching the endless cold for something, but he did not know what... He found a cartoon, with a strange orange symbol on it, and he opened it and smelt the substance. "Smells like... bad." He shrugged, and pulled it out of the fridge. He saw the duet at the table drinking from mugs, so he sought one out as well, easily finding one. He poored the liquid into the coffe mug, and drank it steadily... It had been... a while... but this liquid was cool, and refreshing. He drank another mug of it.
His eyes showed some more colour, but the horrid empty still dominated.
He smiled at the recognition of the joke, but it was Rakka who was smiling back. Looking at Aurahkah was difficult, he wondered how she felt looking upon her feebleminded friend... At least he had the most bliss of the three...

"Orange juice. I prefer the orange itself, another lovely addiction of mine to compliment the coffee." Aura watched as his senses comflicted with himself. It smelled bad to him, yet he liked the taste. "You remind me of Ecara somewhat in your senses." While he drank that she still tended her copy. Seven was almost gone, and eight seemed like it was going to creep up.
