She has violet eyes... The elf looked upon the woman, who's fear and pain was very evident, as she burned with these emotions. The elf's pale blue eyes were sad, but his emotions seemed to be locked away from Nailah. Those blue eyes lacked the luster of the brillient and bright eyes of the Nelphean Nailah was acustom to, but they remainded the eyes of the elf nonetheless. Introductions were necessary, but that might have to wait.
"I am suffering from a deep loss, and my heart cries from the pain of that loss, feeling as though a fiery chain has ripped my soul from my body, and left nothing but a cold, lifeless shell." Nelphean walked slowly towards Nailah as he spoke, and whe nhe reached her, he slowly grabed both of her wristes, and stopped her from bashing the keys.
"I can sense your feelings, and have felt these things as well."
Nelphean sat down beside Nailah, "I am not who you think I am, but be your friend I can."

Nailah jerked her wrists out of the elf's grip. "No you aren't who I think you are, are you? The last time we met you tried to..." She shook her head and sighed. She closed her eyes and collected her thoughts then looked at the elf once again. "You sense what is not there. I have no feelings." she said bitterly. If only that were true. The feelings wouldn't go away. They remained with her during the day and haunted her with ghosts of memories that weren't even real at night. They taunted her with what had been and laughed at her mistakes. She was a slave to them. Forced to live with the love that surrounded the manor and experience what everyone felt. She walked back to the piano and said softly. "Play for me Nel."

The amulet glowed slightly, for a moment, but nothing happened.
He was slightly held back by how she reacted to his touch, had Nelphean tried to suduce her, or rape her... Perhaps he should be turned into goo.
Nelphean looked upon the piano keys, but caught the reflection of the jewel. He looked at the armlet, and put a hand over it. "This is attached to your soul," He wave his hand over it, and the armlet suddenly became lighter. "Perhaps you are freer now..." He turned in the chair, he looked at the piano. "Miss, I don't know how to play this instrument." He looked very dumbly at the keys, but he did have the correct positioning when he rested his hands upon the keys, "I haven't seen one of these in quite a long time, I believe I used to play..." He turned to the woman, "I am not the Nelphean you think I am."
He's arround somewhere...
"Once upon a time, an evil woman decided that she wanted her own elf. A man gave her the elf she wanted, but not the one that she had expected." Nelphean couldn't really describe much more than that, "I was a toy for a very ungrateful woman, who held a deep hatred for an elf who disobeyed her. I was to fill her mind with..." He stoped, noting how he changed the subject away from the girl's streaming emotions.
"How does it feel, not to feel?"

Nailah stared at Nelphean. "Do you seek to tease so much dear elf? You know very well the words I speak are not the truth. More like wishful thinking." She looked at the armlet and sighed. "Given to me by...you. Are you not the one who visited me? The one who faded before me very eyes?" She looked at him a moment and wondered. The other one had not been Nelphean. He was evil...or different, she wasn't sure. She placed her fingers beside his and began to play. She assumed Nelphean was up to his old tricks again. "If you are not the Nelphean I believe you to be then why are you here?" she asked as the music began to fill the room.

"Rakka, she was from this manor... In a way..." Nelphean frowned slighlty, he placed his fingers ontop of Nailah's and followed her around the keyboard, slowly being able to pick up how to play, but he wasn't ablt to becasue of any talent, he was simply following her fingers, because her fingers knew where to go.
"She was my friend, she wanted to come... here. I helped her." Nelphean's expression didn't change, he was greived, "She died, I brought part of her here. She now rest above the fireplace mantle."
"The one who gave you that armlet is a mage of considerable power. He can change his shape." He watched Rakka in...
"He did many, bad things."

Cymarron woke, angry. He felt cheated, disguarded. he'd hated his collar..and what it stood for, but then again depended on it to remind him who he was. Now that it was off, he felt both freedom from the leash and bitterness that he was cast aside. He moved into the manor, looking around at the drinks, and downed a few of them, snorting and still in a foul mood. He'd heard the piano, which reminded him of the music the master played in his hall. which in turn made him more angry. he moved to where the piano was, and stood with his fur bristling around his neck only lightly.
"No more music."

Saradin had nearly drifted off to sleep, but when he was only half there something crept out over him that shot him to attention. But beyond that he only had a headache as he sat in a chair somewhere in the library. Books were of interest, so he had buried some of his time in selecting a handful. Though the pox that hung over his head made him forget the stack sitting near him on the table as he climbed from his chair and left to wander again. Reclaimed Soulforge hung beside him, after yesterday it seemed better to keep protection by your side in this place. The strains of music drew him like a moth to fire however, and it wasnt long before he drew to the door of the music room and stood there listening to everything within.

Nelphean turned to the crazed cat, and then noted how Mr. Stupid came too, "Play a song, and world falls onto you." Nelphean stopped tracing Nailah's fingers, and turned to the cat, "Music is a physical response to explain emotions. Would you like Nailah to stop feeling to?" SInging, something Nelphean knew how to do quiet well, was probably his only non-combative talent at this time.

He said nothing, only snarled lightly, and moved to the piano and lifted up the cover, and in a swipe of his claws severed the piano wires, and he let the lid drop back down with a thud.
"Music brings only pain. pain of memories. Pain of things you want and will never have. and what would you know of not feeling, false elf? and you.." Turning on Saradin " Last time we smelled you it was your blood mixed with the den mothers and eclispes from some battle you instigated. we are not overly fond of you right now either."
Oh yes, he was in a most foul mood at the moment.

"Pssst Aurahkah. Oh Aurahkah. Aurahkah! The manor is on fire? It's being ripped apart from the inside out. Eclipse to Aurahkah! Snap out girl!"
Aura suddenly blinked, having been leaning on the kitchen counter staring into space. "Huh? Oh...wow, too much coffee again."
"Yes, you're spacing out."
"Coffee?"
"No you can't have any." Then she got another mug of it for herself.
"Didn't you just say you had to much."
"Shush. And go put Ecara down for a nap." Taking a sip from her mug she patted both on the head and then left them behind in the kitchen. Subconsciously she heard the music that was drifting around, but she didn't go to it. Her headache wouldn't allow her. Aura's boot thudded softly on the marble as her feet led her out to the courtyard again. Best take advantage of the sun while it was still there, the clouds were already starting to move in.

Nelphean's hair started to float, his cloak started to flap as well, as the energy within him started to augment the air. "I have been tortured for the last fifteen years with a friend. Plus many many years before that as well!" Nelphean's eyes showed his rage, but he did not allow his emotions to carry through, locking them away.
"Cat, I think you should leave before you find yourself six feet shorter."

"And perhaps you should cease to be, as you are nothing more than a shadow, a shade of another being who is without purpose or place."
His jaws snapped shut, claws flexing.
"You are not part of this Pack, Bastet's elf is. and you've already tried to harm the one who is the reason for your existance. don't like why you were made? go back to the shadows you sprang from. You threaten one of the Pack, you threaten all of the Pack."

Saradin could only stare blankly in response. It hadnt quite clicked the way it was likely intended to, fight Aurah had not meant FIGHT AURAH in his head. But judging by the way he described, there was little other possibility. Thankfully he did hold it true that whatever had happened she had forgiven him for it. "Umm..." He said eloquantly. "Just how badly did our... ecounter... go?"

"Says the cat who attacked the piano, threating this young woman with harsh words!" Nelphean's aura disappeared. "Fake I may be, but his blood I still am. Are you to say his children have no right to be here?"
"The cat claims to defend the manor, so long as the manor lives by his rules. Does the cat not forget, this fake elf sought him out with Rakka, and fought to save you from your bonds." His voice found a surreal calm, as Nelphan's hand held his cylinder, concealed under his cloak.

Leaning back against the manor itself, which the stone was slightly warm from the sun, she drank at coffee. Nine. Maybe one more then she would hold off on the magical liquid, go into caffeine detox for a few hours. Aura sighed, letting her mind drift once again and not think on one thing or many things all at once. It was a relief on her headache that she didn't want to agitate further. Finishing off her mug she let it drop gently from her hand to the grass.
