Bastet had a thoughtful look, "I was going to joke about it a moment ago, but I figured it rather crude of me. And we do not like to dwell on the past." She raised her hands to tuck his hair behind his ears, playing with the silky strands a moment, "About what would be this length of time as you seem worried."

Her gaze shifted over to Elias and at the mention of the pyramids still encased in limestone she smiled. "They were very beautiful, a grand sight to see as the sun set especially."

answers registered quickly. no courtship usually, very personable when there was. everyone coudl read and write. slaves were like him. Aura was probably used for pleasure as a slave. Mental note...kill the next decendant he meets of whomever the family that owned her was. Status was wealth or postion. Gods worshipped. Aura was important figure until the age of twelve.
"Is this one that we wear, our Collar, of good status? what kind of collars did others wear?"
He turned to Elias as well, continueing on with his questions.
"What is a pyramid? and who is Giza?"

"I can imagine that they were." Saradin said, thinking about the pyramids himself. "But for all the thoughts it brings, Id rather know all there is to learn about you." Cue his entrance, walking slowly, and slightly unsteadily as he moved into a chair. "In face of the amount I feel, its peculiar that I dont actually know much." He was fairly unkempt consider it was mid afternoon, but he had just managed to drag himself out of his bed. Yawning continuosly he forced another sentence. "Either Im awake all day, or cant stay on my feet."

She nodded to Cymarron again. "That collar is a very good one. I wore one like it myself at one point. Others wore collars of specific symbols, or incantations, or Gods. It was really a mood or belief type of thing, but mostly looks." She sighed in a nostalgic way. "I miss Egypt sometimes..." Then she took the answer for Elias. "A pyramid is a four sided figure that come to a point at the top, it's base is a square. And Giza was an important city in Egypt." Her attention however went to Saradin who entered almost unnoticed and took a seat. A smile to him. "All you want to know can be achieved through questions, dear Saradin." She really couldn't tell if he had gotten anymroe sleep or not. Standing from her chair she walked over to Saradin and dropped her hands to his shoulders. "Get any mor sleep?"

she stood there watching him scilently for a good minute, before she couldn't handle it anymore, and burst out laughing, shoulders shaking.
"Probally not. but you never know. and still..."
She shook her head, mirth ebbing away in to a soft chuckle, a glitter in her eyes, and a smile lingering on her lips. Shin had changed, but not as harsh as Elias probally thought, as she stood there with coffe cup in hand, lost in another memory.
Those were many, and overtook her so wholly she ended up immersed in them. Tularie was used to it, but It probally wouldn't bode well if she started having conversations with people long dead in the middle of the kitchen in front of the three people that were there at the moment with out offerening an explaination first.
It was a faint thought, as she stood now, in her mind, at the foot of crystall steps leading up in to a marble temple built in the middle of a dark green forest, soomehow looking like it had grown there along with the age-old trees that stood beside it, thick trunks reaching towards the sky, suporrting slightly smaller branges, and thick foliage.
In her mind, she stood barefoot, in a white dress, with royal blue trim, and a silver belt, wide and rather snug. the hood of a deep blue cloak was shoved back, and the edges of the faberic whispered against the grass as she walked slowly, silver and firedrops twisted through her brown hair. she stood beside a young man, slightly taller than her, with reddish brown hair and blue eyes, a solid muscular build, and a quick laugh.
In the kitchen, she stared out in to space blankly, rubbing her left ring finger with her thumb of the same hand, twisting a ring that wasn't there.
In her mind, she fiddled with her wedding ring, still trying to get used to wearing jewwelry on her hands. a silver ring, simple and unadorned, but presious and litterally priceless, silver was rare, and even then, was never used in jewlry. it was better used s coin. the man beside her wore a matching ring, though the band was slightly wider, and bore a smaler one over the top of it, a twisted srip of metal. He wore a pale yellow Torque as well, the end camps gleaming in the light, holding the braided gold-and-electrum band togeter, and in shape in a horse shoe around his neck.
In the kitchen, she smiled faintly, head tilted to the side, as her green eyes darted over the kitchen, unseeing of its walls or occupants, only of the memory that had, to her, become reality, if only for a moment.
She jerked out of her past, suddenly staring down at her coffee cup, shaking her head. "I'm sorry Elias...I think i missed what you last said.....I seem to be distracted easily....what were we talking about again?" she asked, looking up at him, setteling on a cup of water, she turned towards the sink, turning on the faucet, and filling the cup, before carefully ending the waters flow, and taking a sip of the cold crystal clear liquid.

"Giza is a area in present day Egypt, that is the site of the only remaing wonder of the ancient world. The pyramids are massive triaungular prisms made of stone which were used as tombs to the Pharaohs of Egypr during the First couple of Dynasties, there first was the step Pyramid, but the building of these momuments culminated on the Giza plateu, with the three largest Pyramids in the world. These were the last pyramids built after these all pharoahs we buried in the valley of the kings." Elias said, suddenly feelind very much like a geek, then again he loved to read.
"Daddy smart!" a small giggled as she made her way into the kitchen. Her name was Esmeralda Murieta Guevara, and she was Elias daughter, she had he mother's long flowing black hair held tightly in two ponytails tied with red lace strings wihch matched her black and dark red victorian dress. Her eyes were like her father, a brilliant serpetine yellow. She vlunged to her father, but unlike him she was not very shy, even for a seven year old. "Hi, I'm Esmeralda, he's my papa." she giggled as she waved to those assembled.

Answers registered, stored in his mind for later use.
"Is there anything the Den mother wants to know about us, it is only fair that for our questions we offer to answer any of yours."
The same thing he asked everytime after someone answered several of his questions. it was only fair, that for learning of them, that they should get to learn about him. He Gave Saradin a warm grin, and Shin one as well...though he had not seen Bastet or Nailah today, he was certain like moths toa flame, the more people that were in one area, the more likely they would come as well.

"I honestly dont know." Rubbing at one eye, he looked up at her and smiled. "But I'm fine. Really." The chair next to him slid out by way of his hand and he motioned vaguely that she neednt be standing for him. "I'll ask my questions later, probably when youve got a smaller audience." Lips pressed against the hand on his shoulder briefly and he smiled again as he watched her. "And its interesting that you know more about me already than I do about myself."

Aura saw the child run in and apparently, she was Elias'. She blinked once and looked to Elias. "That's new." A slight nod to the girl. "Hello Esmeralda." Her look back over to Cymarron. "Nothing Cymarron. The only thing that I want from you is for you to act less like a slave. That's all." The chair pulled out and kiss to her hand brought her attention back to Saradin "Hm...I have to potential to change you to my liking...but, I liked you the way you were before, and the way you are now, so no need." She brought a hand up and brushed it through his hair, then sat down in the chair next to him, one hand still resting on his shoulder. "I'll make sure to set aside some time from you."

She blinked at Cymarrons actions, the first time he had registered her existence after he first came here, and she sat on the steps talking with him, staff in hand, in case he tried anything outlandish.
Now, why could she remebr that, and not the girls's names?
she smiled back, and nodded slightly, sipping at her water.
Child. In room.
her name rgistered, something familiar, but not recalled. she glanced down at the girl, brofre dropping to a crouch gracefully, Emereald eyes looking the child over quickly, filing her face away, connecting it with her name, voice, height, and hair color. it still irratated her that her nose wasn't as keen as before, but oh well, that could come later anyway.
"Hi. My names Shin. Elias is your papa huh? I didn't know his daughter was such a pretty girl. how old are you?"
she smiled friendily, pushing bron hair out of her face.
"Would you like some thing to drink?"

"Well, as of 65 hours, you would be the longest living... Wait, you already died. I guess I shouldn't panic. None of my loves ever died more than once on me." Nelphean kissed Bastet softly, "Now what?"
(edit, I should pay mroe attention to what I am writing.)

Elias let out one of his powerful laughs, as his daugher stood there with a dumbfounded looks on her face. "Well, it seems that this home is becoming a Daycare center, there is Tyler, Ecarta and now Esmeralda here." he said as picked up the small girl and placed her on his massive shoulder. "Pretty soon we all be grandparents." he laughed
"Yo no ser old new. I am old, I am a whole seven years old." she said to Lady Aura. "She estupid daddy." she giggled, her thick Spanish accent making her English sound slurred.
*Edit* The young girl looked at Shin, as he sat on her father's shoulder, "Yup I butiful, like mam, she is un Angel, she is heaven with abuelito." she giggled. "No thank you ma'am." she answered.

She responded to his kiss just as softly, then leaned back and watche dhim again, "Yes, since I am so different from your other loves, having died once already, doth that not make me immune?" A reassuring smile went to him, though she did fear her own demons, taht was at the back of her brain right now. "Well we could..." Her stomach rumbled, damn body... that is not what I had in mind... "Seems I am hungry."

"If things dont stay as busy as they have seemed so far, I hope to spend a lot with you." Saradin's hand pat the one on his shoulder before absorbing what was happening around him beyond her. Cymarron seems to want to share, man he probably knew had daughter, confused girl. Entirely typical. "A seven year old daughter and you never introduced her to us before?" A weak and probably failing attempt to go with what he did know, but it was easier than reintroducing yourself to someone you knew.
