Shards of Memory-Prologue: Fractured Union

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

[SBLOCK]Valyssa makes it all look so effortless, I guess I will have to improve my dancing if I am to keep up with her.

*His gaze drifting to their feet occasionally Zaeryn catches her as she comes back to his arms, lifting her and spinning with her momentum, before gently placing her feet on the ground once again to glide slowly away from him.*

OOC: How hard is it going to be for Zaeryn to get ranks in dancing, or is all this impromptu dancing going to be enough?[/SBLOCK]

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
"Thank you."

*Senyuki gives a slight inclination of her head.*

"You may rise, child," Senyuki says kindly to Yuriko, then turns to the quiet Rin, "And you as well, little one."

(OOC: Well, its only against Tainted effects, so all in all, the mild stage of Taint is a good deal. In fact, some depraved individuals inflict it upon themselves on purpose to regain their youth and some extra beauty )

"You may rise, child," Senyuki says kindly to Yuriko, then turns to the quiet Rin, "And you as well, little one."

"Master Senyuki-sama," Yuriko began, "If it is alright with those present, I would like the opportunity to stay a while. It has been some time since I left and I feel that coming home would be a good idea. A place to rest for a time . . . and I would like to be there for Yu and Rin over the next few days . . . ."

*Yuriko left the rest hanging, but clearly was indicating the situation with Shinoa.*


(OOC: Well, I'm not depraved . . . not yet anyway You meant Yuriko and not me right? Not that I'm depraved either, mind you? )[/SBLOCK]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*Valyssa smiles and deftly plants on kiss on Zaeryn's cheek as she whirls past, before enveloping him again in a breeze of silk, as she brings him with her in the dance.*

(OOC: Fortunately and unrealistically, dancing depends only on Charisma, so someone like Selene in HH with 8 Dex who trips over herself in combat but 18 Charisma can move to the dance floor and suddenly become extraordinarily graceful . As for the impromptu dancing--I think that is well on the way to being an excellent reason to invest in a rank or two. Ask Valyssa for a quick lesson and you're perfect. Certainly leagues better than the player who says "Umm...I want some Oratory. Yeah, I know I didn't really do any, ever, but I'm thinking we might need to make a speech in this adventure coming up" )
[/SBLOCK]

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
"As a Master, I do not have the right to allow this," Senyuki says, seeming a bit downcast, but then she gives a soft smile, not to be defeated by the rules, "But I also do not have the right to disallow it either, meaning that you shall most certainly be able to stay until such time as you remember to ask someone who can make the decision...And I am sure they will agree. Until then, may the spirits watch over and guide you, Yuriko-chan. I shall return to my meditations; should you have need of me again, you may find me in my chambre."

*Senyuki inclines her head slightly to Yuriko and Rin, then to the other monks who assisted her in the ritual, and she takes her leave.*

(OOC: Nope, I didn't mean you, or even Yuriko, I mean there are old people on Lara Kai who sometimes give themselves Taint on purpose to regain their youth and beauty )

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]*As gracefully as he is dancing, Zaeryn manages to trip himself on the more uneven ground of the park. Releasing Valyssa’s hand as he tumbles to the soft ground, laughing as he does so.*[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*As Zaeryn tumbles to the ground, Valyssa intentionally trips herself as well, tumbling on top of him and giggling as she does, until finally she comes to a stable position, lying on top of him on her belly with her face smiling down on him less than an inch from his, her unbound cerulean hair spilling down against him and tickling his cheek.*

[SBLOCK]“You didn’t have to fall just to cover my clumsy dancing my love, but thank you.”

*Zaeryn says, before closing the remaining distance and kissing her deeply as he embraces her tightly in his arms.*[/SBLOCK]

Until then, may the spirits watch over and guide you, Yuriko-chan. I shall return to my meditations; should you have need of me again, you may find me in my chambre."

*Yuriko nodded in obeyance to Master Senyuki, but she really didn't understand the political structure of the monastery.*

"Thank you again, Master Senyuki-sama," Yuriko said, looking to one of the other monks in the area. Yuriko indicated to Rin to wait a moment for her. Once Master Senyuki had left, Yuriko moved to one of the monks and asked, "Monk-sama, is there a place I may recover from the events of the last several days, meditate and remember my time here as a member of the order? Also, who should I speak with about staying her for a time to continue my training?" [/SBLOCK]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Sure I did--can't leave you tumbling alone, can I? Besides, it was fun!" Valyssa protests laughingly as she returns Zaeryn's kiss and embrace from her current vantage point.
