"Dad is she scared of me?" Esmeralda asked with tears in her eyes, very few had ever been scared of the young girl and so she didn't know how to react and so she reacted in the way that any seven year olf would she ran out of the room crying.
Elias laughed,"she is her mother's daughter, I'll be right back, she might get lost." he laughed as he ran after her.
((Uhh be right back, going to get some grub damn stomach interupting my fun!!))

He straightened, and his eyes moved up to Coban.
"We apologize...it is hard to remember that others do not like to see us that way. and why would...that one...get a kick out of this?"
He wasn't particularly fond of Jaxom.
"And we can do many things, yes. make the smoky figures...command the spirits, grant gifts to allies, and hamper enemies. and summon our Warder..and we can heal, by taking injuries into ourselves..and cure poisons and diseases...and make spirits solid, bind them to places or things, and banish them to the Grey fields."
Again, another recitation upon request of his abilities, while he idly petting over Ecara.

Now that intrigued her. Though she herself had cried before, she still didn't understand why they were used if the situation was not direly upsetting. Ears perked, especially under Cymarron's petting and she settled down a little, going back to watching the figures on the table.
Coban gave an approving nod as Cymarron righted his gaze and posture. "Well we've never liked the slave look around here. And Jaxom would get a kick out of this because he loves to study things, especially things like this." A smile as Cymarron practically gave a resume. "You're very talented Sir Cymarron. Don't let it go to waste. I'd say you being the self proclaimed protector here was a very wi-" He paused and look down to his side.
Standing next to him, was another spirit. A little girl with eyes like Coban's. She didn't look more than six. "Don't yell, mama said I could come up here." She then looked around, a smile to Ecara, already knowing the girl well. Then a look to Cymarron. She promptly curtsied to him. "Hello Sir, I'm Piper."
"At least you remembered your manners."
((yes, yes I am making up spirit interaction time to you))

He tilted his head, and kneeled down, looking at her curiously. Piper. how had one this young passed away? he wrote his sigils on teh ground, and with a little funny feeling to piper, made her solid enough to touch, and grasped her little hand and shook it.
"Greetings, Piper. we are Cymarron."
He gave her a warm feline smile, and picked her up, setting her on the table to se the gypsies he was entertaining Ecara with.

Piper squinted an eye at the feeling and at the sensation of being picked up by someone who still has a physical body...it was quite odd to say the least. But she gave Cymarron a nod. "Thank you Sir Cymarron." Then she turned her attention to what Ecara was busy looking at...and then explaining to the girl what exactly she was seeing.
Coban uncrossed his arms. "You like tending to children, don't you Sir Cymarron? I've noticed that you like to spend time with them, and take care of them as if they were your own when they're left with you. And none are frightened of you in the least." A warm chuckle to accompany the statement.

Cymarron nodded.
"We have seen children suffer. we've seen them broke and abused for the amusement of others. and we ourselves were taken when we were young, and our first real memory is fighting for our life in the arena so those that took us could prove that we were what he wanted."
He smiled lightly at Ecara and Piper.
"We might have had a kit of our own, had Death Angel not seen fit to destroy that hope. Children are important to us, they are innocent of the ravages of the world. they remind us of what we might have been. And we take care of them as we woudl our own, the one we never got to see born."

"Hm..." It was a sound of consideration mixed with a hint of sadness and condolence. "No child should be put through that, or taken before they are ready to leave of thier own accord." He watched them as well for a moment.
"See, not real. Just moving pictures. An illusion like thing."
One of Ecara's ears flopped, and she was giving Piper the same look that Piper was giving her. That, I know that you know that I get it, but not really.
He laughed again then turned bacm to Cymarron. "Who knows, perhaps one day you can still have a kit of your own, still."

Elias walked back into the Archiac Manor, and into the ktichen. He held the young Emesralda by the hand. It was clear that she had been crying but like any other girl her age he had quickly goten over the fact Elias was laughing at some comment or other that the girl had made as he walked back into the kitchen. "Sorry about that, she tends to be a tad moody. Must be from her father's side." he laughed.
Esmeralda also smiled, but this time she walked up to the young Ecara and said not a single word, she smiled at the young girl and got close to her, almost as if leaning in for a kiss. And that was exactly what she did, she planted a soft kiss on the young Ecara's lips. It was gesture of friendship, her way of saying hello. She was truly her father's daughter. "Hi!" she giggled.

No need to say, that just confused the poor girl, who was living her life as of now off of true definitions and not concepts of such definitons. Too close for comfort from a practical stranger as well. She yanked back in a mixture of being afraid and angry all at the same time, wolfish ears pining themselves back. Up on the balls of her feet again crouched, and actually showing her fangs. The girl was actually growling.
And in chain reaction style, Ecara startled Piper who retreated back to the saftey of her father, even though there really was no danger, just a wolf featured confused bond child crouched on a table.
Coban first gave attention to Piper, lying a hand to his daughter's shoulder in comfort, then he turned his tone on Ecara. "Ecara calm down...you're all right."

He chuckled lightly.
"Perhaps. but first we would need to find a mate...you wouldn't know anyone woudl you, Lord Coban, perhaps a clone of Nailah as the elf has one?"
He laughed, something he didn't do often. and watched the two children.
"The ancestors let us see what we might have had. they let us see the kit that was never born, and Kisshy again. Nailah reminds us so much of Kisshy, is one of our attractions. and her silent strength, despite her empathy..."
He shook his head and grinned lightly.
"We could go on for hours. But we know her pain. we read it in her movements, hear it in her voice. And we know we are not human. we are Vah. So we will let her do as she would, and accept it. we will show our affections how we might without being too painfully obvious."

"This could ugly...." Elias said, and the fact was that he wasn't joking his daughter tended to be tempertal, but he knew that the best choice that he could make was to stand back and she what she would do, and jump in to stop her just in case. Elias's body was tense as he watched his daughter'
s every movement.
Esmeralda, didn't really understand why the wolf girl was growlin at her, but instead of taking it like a threat, she took it as a game. A huge smile grew aross her face as he crouched, and opening her mouth the reveal the elongated iupper and lower cannies inside her mouth, she let out a playfull hiss. It was the hiss of a snake, she was being threathning if thad had been she might have bite the girl, but much Elias's relief that wasn't what she had done.

Divided attention among Cymarron and Ecara. "I Sir Cymarron am merely a ghost bound to a spot. If I knew of someone for you, believe me I would inform you good creature. And don't live in the past or fantasies too much my friend. There can be no future if you live in the past." Then he smiled. "Nice to see you can be giving yet modest in your affections as well."
Crouched on feet and hands, she merely backed up slightly at the Esmeralda's own gesture. Truly Eclipse's daughter her wings flared slightly more for show than anything, basic instinct to protect herself without her mother around kicking in. A pick up in her growling to fend off the other without scrapping. What was play to one wasn't to the other from lack of understanding the meaning of a play fight, or an empty threat.
He side glanced Ecara then looked down to Piper. "You may have to fetch Eclipse dear."

He walked from the music room, sense the frustration nearby, Ecara was clearly distressed. Nelphean fround at that under his scarf, and tried to follow his feelings to find her.
He walked towards the flare, and he sang a soft song that he had sung that made Ecara fall asleep... He cherished that child who brought him a large measure of piece. He let his voice sound higher, and hoped that it might draw her attention...
His cloak was pulled tightly about his face, concealing him from the world, his form walked like a ghost across the manor, his cloak floating along his path, he truly was a spectre.

He watched Ecara, and Esmerelda with a almost interested amusement. a serpent child versus a wolf child. just as with him long ago. the iksar versus teh vah, a serpentine humanoid versus and feline one. he'd won that contest, but he glanced at Elias, giving a slight grin, ready to pluck Ecara out of range of the other and figuring Elias would do the same of his daughter.
"Calm thyself, little Ecara. Think for a moment, if you both fight, there will be spilling of blood. and we would not like that, would we."

Esmeralda, really had no way to know that the young Ecara was confusing his play fight for the real thing. So when she her the girl's wings she extended her own prestine white ones. But as any girl her age would do she got a little to excited. And her fangs had began to glisten as if wet with salive, in fact some liquid was dripping from them. Esmeralda momentarily closed her mouth
Elias had only a split second to react, she knew that look of her daughter's face. She was only playing a game but it could seriously hurt the young girl, Elias moved fast, just time to jab his hand in between Esmeralda and Ecara, and hear the sizzle of his flesh as the vemon struck his palm
