Shards of Memory-Prologue: Fractured Union

[Rystil Arden]

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
*Though it had felt like ages when time seemed to slow down during the fight, Yuriko's detour had only taken a half-hour at most. She still had plenty of travel-time left in the day, if she was so inclined, or she could rest with the grateful women here at the farmhouse, with someone else to watch her back and perhaps a fresh meal.*

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*As Zaeryn's kisses bring the pair full-circle to their initial contact with Valyssa's soft body pressed against him, the reflexive sounds emitting from her mouth cannot seem to whether to giggle with joy or moan with pleasure, so she does a little bit of both, with a soft 'Oooo' escaping and breaking off in a fit of giggles, as she continues to stroke Zaeryn gently.*

Talia:
[SBLOCK]
"Hmm...I love a lot of spells, but I think my favourite spell might be Teleport. It makes travel so very convenient! And of course whatever spell I'm using to make a dress is always my current favourite...Ah, there--all done! I have some really great dresses that will be just perfect for you once I alter them with my magic, which will only take a minute. Be right back, Talia!"

"We'll see who's da caged animal den, Praetorian."

*The Praetorian snorts.*

"Don't talk down to your better, creature, or have you not been taught your manners in the pits? If this is a forgery, I'll admit, its a clever one--it looks authentic--but since Senator Olivia is not here, it couldn't be correct. Probably someone trying to get your hopes up or something--I know it couldn't have been you that did it...I bet you can't even read."

Kirkesh:
[SBLOCK]
*Vanessa leans quietly into Kirkesh for a while, relishing the feeling of safety, tenderness, and intimacy as he holds her in his arms. Then after a while, she says in a sweet whisper:*

"Kirkesh...I know it would be dangerous, but...that night on the streets...when the thugs attacked me and you saved me...I felt so alive...like never before in my life. Everything else just seemed so boring and stale, and I knew I needed to feel that again...that's why I've tried to find you for so long...can you help me feel that way again?"

"Kirkesh...I know it would be dangerous, but...that night on the streets...when the thugs attacked me and you saved me...I felt so alive...like never before in my life. Everything else just seemed so boring and stale, and I knew I needed to feel that again...that's why I've tried to find you for so long...can you help me feel that way again?"

"I can certaintly try Vanessa." Kirkesh says softly as he pulls her into a long, lingering kiss.

"Now, I believe you were mentioning bathing in the nude. Or would you rather simply dumped you in the water dressed as you are now?" Kirkesh grins.

"And you don't have a runner you could send down to da house to see if she hasn't arrived yet? BEcause if she really wants to see me both you and I are in trouble."

[unleashed]

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]Valyssa seems very passive, I wonder if this is the role she played with her mentor.

*While continuing to caress and kiss her Zaeryn goes no further than he has previously, hoping to get Valyssa a little more actively involved in their intimacy.*[/SBLOCK]

 

[Dark Nemesis]

Rystil:

"Teleport does seem to be a great spell," Talia agreed. She hoped that one day, she would have the skill to cast it.

She smiles and nods when Glamor says she has a few dresses that needed to be altered. Smiling, she waited patiently for the dressmaker to return. While she waited, she wondered about the empyreal shards, and the adventures that awaited her.

[Keia]

Yotsu Yuriko, Martial Artist

Rystil Only[SBLOCK]*Yuriko looked at the sun still high in the sky and at the receding back of Shofu. She wanted to continue her path, but perhaps there was an opportunity here as well. It seemed she was meant to be here this day, and Yuriko did not usually question such things. After checking for anyone around, Yuriko removed a wand from her belongings and concentrated, willing the magic to work on her injured arm [1 charge]. After it worked, Yuriko replaced the wand and readjusted her belongings.

Yuriko had provided the women with some coin, in hopes that the small fortune would sustain them through this difficult time. She decided to observe them for a while from hiding - to make certain they discovered the coins, to make certain no one else was around to bring trouble. After a couple of hours, she would decide what to do.[/SBLOCK]
