Welcome to Gaia! ::

He shrugged lightly.

"we say leave it here to suffer. our warding and healings should only last it a few more hours. once we get home. and we will back your story."

Some of the gunshot woulds had healed, others in the process..iksarian gifts were very nice, cymarron thought.

"We will keep the eyes, and this flesh. it might be ncie to eat it later if we grow bored of our form, yes? but for now, you need to show to Nailah you were not the being that hurt her."

He moved on toward home, silent as a shadow, pulling his hood back up to cover his features..placing the meat in a pocket of the cloak.

The elf's eyes opened as he felt the flare, it started him. He tmbled across the bed and landed near Rakka, which he called to his hand. He was deeply confused, but knew where to go. The elf covered the distance within a heart beat, leaped over Elias in time to see Nailah's fire and blade cut through the air. The elf's eyes shot open as he recalled the horrid vision Fenix had given him. He rolled across the kitchen and stood. Rakka in his right hand, Kara in his left. The elf hesistated, something didn't feel right, Elias was not after Nailah.

He nodded and went into his Den, waiting to hear the yelling and screaming..and heard the sound of flame flying through the air..and sat silently, looking at the eyes, the meat he'd torn loose..and taking great pleasure in that thing was still laying out there in agony. Any shape he wanted. any form. he could have wings to fly. he coudl take any shape that pleased her. or any form to make anyone happy. oh the deviltry that coudl conjure...he chuckled. He wasn't like that. but he always did want wings.

Of course he'd only taken enough that he knew would pass on gifts. he didn't want that thing as another voice in his head. and those eyes..he coudl see everything it saw in it's life..he shook his head, and put both meat and eyes in a wooden container and set them on a shelf. perhaps later.

He walked over to the Raven item, and grasped it. cold as it was last time. he missed his sister, wanted her back safe. then he decided that wether Elias liked it or not, he needed some eggnog. so he went to the kitchen, using opposite door elias did, and went for the fridge to get eggnog.

Wow, humans are small. Nelphean laughed softly as Nailah changed her manner. The elf walked towards her. Good morning, your bed is comfortable. Something still isn't right.

He chuckled lightly, drinking eggnog..and noticed the double take. he shrugged, and let things lie.

"You know, brother..the least you coudl have done was make sure you stayed clothed."

He snickered, and moved out to the hotsprings to bathe the blood off himself, both his and that things...passing by elias though he stopped for a moment.

"we'll give you your time. but if you need us to back your story, call us, we will answer."

A nod to brightsaber.

"perhaps you woudl wish to join us at the hotspring elf? we have to rid ourselves of a certain being's scent, and blood. and wouldn't mind a friendly ear or face."

And perhaps find out where that blade is..

Nailah closed her eyes briefly and sat back down at the table. She shot a glance to Nel and then Cymarron. What was this, a party? She heard Elias say it but still wasn't sure she could believe it. "First of all I take offense ot the 'scared girl comment.' Don't say that unless you really want to upset me. Just because I'm female doesn't mean I go running scared at everything and I am insulted by that implication." she shook her head and picked up her fork, calmly eating again. She was going to ignore that last comment. "I didn't want to hurt anyone and now all I ended up doing was hurting you. I suppose saying I had the best of intentions wouldn't do much now. The saying really is true: The road to hell is paved with the best intentions." She shook her head and then glared. "Go get some clothes or something. Then you can explain to me why someone who looked like you tried to kill me and why I woke up to find that while there were no marks, there was a hell of a lot of pain!" She was getting angry again and her eyes flared. She took another bite of her cheesecake and tried to calm down. She'd listen to his story and if even one part of it didn't sound right, she'd toss his a** in the fireplace, without being frozen first. She wasnt' playing around. But his sadness got to her. Even if it had been him, he was feeling regret for it. Or was he telling the truth...she didn't know. But she was going to find out.

He moved to the hotsprings, and let himself soak. humans were small by comparision. but that was humans for you. he relaxed some in the water. he enjoyed the hotsprings as much as he enjoyed his Den. he purred, loudly. he didn't care if anyone could hear, he was very relaxed and enjoying himself. His eyes halfclosed, and he lightly began tapping out a rythmn on the stones with his claws.

Nailah listened her fork poised ready to enter her mouth. Then seh replaced it on the plate and looked into Elias' eyes. They were still brown but this time they felt much warmer and she could still feel the sadness deep inside him. I really did hurt him. The thought made her want to cry and she bit her lip to keep the tears at bay. She dropped her eyes adn said "I didn't mean to break your heart Elias. I wasn't even entirely sure I held it..." She paused for a moment and then shook her head a pained look on her face. "That wasn't supposed to happen. I wasn't supposed to hurt anybody. No one..." She sighed and one tear trickled down her cheek. Regret was hitting hard and it's punishing blows made her feel sick. Selfishness...that was what she had really accomplished. She had been selfish wanting to keep them for herself but when it came time to choose one she hadn't been able to. Instead she had played them both. It was a wonder they didn't hate her. Another tear fell this one on the opposite cheek.
