He looked upat Aura, the Den mother.
"We...are unsure of our purpose anymore. without someone in command of us, without a Master, or a Mistress..we are lost. Cymarron has lived under another's control his whole existance. we do not know how to act otherwise. and Cymarron feels...naked without his collar. we've always worn that. We are so very lost, without purpose."
His claws had absently carved out an image into the table, of Ecara, though somewhat older in the image..as well as Eclipse, Aura and Bastet.

Nelphean put a finger to his lips, "Where would be convinent?" He leaned into Bastet, "Now that I am not a wanted man, how shall you ever suffer me?"

"We can get you something to put around your neck if that will make you feel better. As far as you wanting someone to command you..." How to approach this. Ah yes, a deal. She was good at those. "If you want it that badly, I can give it to you. However, there are conditions to my terms. Like you don't have to follow what I say. You also will never avert your eyes or stand lower than you're natural height." Draining the rest of her mug she set it down on the counter and let her attention divide a little to Saradin. "Cooking already I see."

Nailah looked at Aura and swallowed. She didn't know exactly what to say to her and didn't really want to be confronted with Aura at this moment. She was still hurting from Alex's departure and she knew that Vincent had left as well. "Hello Aurahkah..." She saw Cymarron and didn't quite know what to say to him. He had destroyed something precious to her. Something she needed at this mometn in time. She felt the familiar wave of bitterness and hurt wash over her at the simple sight of her friend. They shared so much yet this hurt her far more than she thought possible. "How are you two?" She decided that maybe if she started a conversation it would not be quite as awkward.

"I know several places that would be convenient." Why was he thinking so hard about it? They were not that far from her room, seems like they were not destined to stray far, and he did not want to leave bed anyway. She jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist. "Who says you are not wanted? It depends on how you define that, though it does seem like I can not get rid of you, not like I want to."

"How easy it is to forget my torture, but how hard it is to forget you... I miss you... I am nothing but a clone to these people, and insignificant worm, a shadow, a puppet..." Whispering to his dead friend, Nelphean walked away from the mantle, and sat in a chair.
Slowly, each object in the room lifted one foot in the air, "A shadow cannot move things, but a will can." He set them down, not wishing to damage anything, He felt alone again, he really didn't belong her, or alive, but still, invited to stay, compelled to go.
"I came to leave you here, not knowing what I would find, I can't leave now, but I don't know why."
Bastet, I feel that you must lead us where we should go. Hey, I should say that out loud. "Bastet, I think that you are pretty." Wait, that isn't what I wanted to say... You basterd. "Bastet, I feel that you should lead us to were we should be." Nelphean's hands felt Bastet's legs wrapped about his hips, "But I certainly can carry you there."

Oh yeah. It was apparent to her. Aura was not Niah's favorite person at the moment. But Aura merely pretended that nothing was really the matter, be it if just to avoid a potential fiasco. "Being a coffee addict." As she said it she had to resist the urge to refill her cup. Ten was enough for right now. Maybe more in two hours.

She nodded. She was going to tiptoe around this very slowly so she didn't cause a major battle. She walked over to the bar and grabbed a bottle of wine. "I know the feeling but with wine." She took a huge drink and sat down at the table. She looked at Cym's artwork for a mometn and thought to herself. Out to destroy things today aren't you Cym? She refused to acknowledge that she felt a feeling of uselessness and uncertainty from Cymarron. She simply watched Saradin cook.

"Could you use a glass please?" So saying she reached behind herself and up into a cupboard then grabbed a wine glass. Glass in hand she walked over to the table and slid it over to Niah. Her eyes briefly glanced Cymarron's drawing then tried to forget it. One, that poor table was always being assaulted, two Jaxom would have a hissy fit. So for the moment she chose to pretend it wasn't there.

She laughed at him, "Hm, I always did find leading to be tedious. Being a goddess had me lead, and it was tiresome at times." She was acting more blunt than usual, if that is possible, so her words became different, "It was a burden, how do I know that those that follow really want to? If I lead, that you really want to follow." Bastet smiled, face to face with the elf. "Hotsprings perhaps? That is a nice, quiet, romantic scene where two can be alone to do things only those alone should do." Her tail wrapped around him in emphasis as her thoughts swam about, all including him.

Leaning back in the chair, Nelphea allowed his feelings to extend beyond the room, hoping to see a glimpse of the future, but instead hsi attention was drawn to the kitchen, where three very unhappy creatures were moping... "What do you think Rakka?"
"Just what I thought." Not hearing any response, the clone stood and walked to the kitchen... "Hello, AuRakka, Nailah, and Cat." Unable to Mr. Stupid cooking but hearing it, "Hello cheif."
"We are all in fine moods today." He leaned against a wall, "Have been sittign and lying helpless for so many years, standing feels good." He started to sway his head back and forth, "Don't mind my insanity."

Niah downed the bottle and grabbed another this time pouring it in a glass. She slowly took a drink and downed the glass then poured another. She downed that one too and in record time had the bottle finished off. She sighed once and shook her head. Did she really feel like cheesecake just now? She wasn't sure. She sat there in silence unsure of what to say to Aura. This was so horrible and she really didn't like it at all.

They werent his conversations to invade, but he certainly made a point of listening while he worked. And work he did, even as the cheesecake heated in the oven he kept himself busy tidying up the kitchen for future users to tear apart as what seemed to be the case. It was how one slipped back into the way of things, listen learn and live all that they are. Putting his faith in blind trust for now seemed the most logical as well as the most pleasant course of action as he pulled a heated cheesecake out of the oven. "It might taste better without heavy wine drowning the flavor." This one was made particular to be served hot, it was a dominant fact in his knowledge that chesecake needed to be ready to serve in as little time as possible, and he would soon learn why.

His eyes moved to Nailah.
"Cymarron..is sorry, Nailah. he was not himself this mornign when he woke. Cymarron can fix it, he is sure. but...something else troubles Cymarron about you. when Cymarron last saw you..he had an incident in the kitchen with his collar. Nailah had something happen to her, and said her and Cymarron would talk later."
He got up, and as per Aura's request, was at his full height, and moved to Nailah, taking his belt off with his daggers, offering it to her.
"Cymarron took something of value from Nailah. Nailah should have something of value to Cymarron, until he fixes her instrument."

"As I have always said, insanity at times can be refreshing Nelphean." Aura took her own seat at the table, her back facing the coffee pot so that she wouldn't have to look at it. Let it tempt her to get another cup. "Keep that up and we'll run out." She steeped her fingers together for a moment in what seemed to be distraction.
