He stirred slightly, but as was predicted, he didn't wake up. He slept soundly, but a slight smile curled up the corners of his mouth.
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:02
She felt like joining him...it had been an exhausting battle. Instead, she opted for a shower, and then went back out...she still had a class to teach that day.
Snake Eaters
02-09-2005, 23:06
He slept solidly, occcasiaonlly stirring as if he would wake up, but for the most part he remained asleep, his chest rising only slightly... he was breathing much slower. It was also apparant to all that his magick was so depleted, he would not be able to work it for some time. At the same time, his power levels had become immense.
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:09
***Meanwhile***
Everyone had teleported back.
At least, that had been the general intention.
So how Tari had wound up on some foreign planet, populated with humans, she had no idea.
She looked around...a lone Drow girl, blood smattered, with scythes strapped to her back still dripping blood from the battle.
This could be not good.
"Keris...call Raven. Maybe he knows where I am. And if not...well, it's a try."
The Aeagle put through the call. All the Drow girl could do was hope that Raven was available to answer.
Snake Eaters
02-09-2005, 23:11
Raven woke with a start... he recognised that tone. Only Grath made it... and only one person normally called Grath. He found the sparrow pearched on his headboard,"Answer it, before I go insane"
The sparrow did so, and Raven was surprised to see Tari looking back at him,"Do you have any idea what time it is?"
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:14
"Well, it's daylight out here. I misteleported...long story...really...and since you're the only human I know, aside from Cougar, who is comatose at the moment, I thought you might have some idea where I am. If not...then I can try teleporting again, and risk something worse than landing on a strange planet."
She has her glider turn. "This is the building across the street...and this is the one behind me...and that's a random big building that looks like it might be a good landmark."
Snake Eaters
02-09-2005, 23:17
Raven looked out the window. He lived off base, it made it easier to do his job if people thought he was a normal person... odd logic maybe, but it served him well. Plus, he'd grown to like the company of others. There was only one really big building in Snake City... the Adminstrium,"I know where you are. Stay there, I'll be with you in five minutes"
*Seven minutes later*
"Alright, so I lied"
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:19
She was sitting in the air, cleaning the last of the demon blood from her weapon.
"Yeah. You humans have no sense of time."
Snake Eaters
02-09-2005, 23:21
"You woke me up, I had to get dressed, grab something to eat and then dash here. I was here in four minutes, actually"
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:23
She shrugs.
"Doesn't matter. After all...I'm just the only Drow in the city that's not wearing Gray. Who'd notice?"
While Mith had had time to take care of the more threatening wounds, the smaller ones had been left to scab over on their own, and there was still gore clinging to her clothes.
Her levitation spell was barely there, she never normally 'sat' that low, and her hands moved across her blades almost listlessly.
Snake Eaters
02-09-2005, 23:25
He looked her over,"You're a mess. Come on, you can take a shower and rest before trying to get home. You'll never make it otherwise"
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:27
"Probably not."
She stood, then twirled the weapon, first twisting the chain and throwing it over her back, finally resting the weapons on their hooks.
Snake Eaters
02-09-2005, 23:28
He led her through the twisting backstreets, avoiding the worst of the crowds, before getting her back to the apartment block he lived in, on the fashionable west bank. It was a nice place, well kept.. he was house-tidy. He ushered her in,"You want something to eat? I'll do it whilst you clean up"
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:30
"I'll be okay. I'll clean up, and then I'd like to catch up. I haven't heard from you in what...almost a year? And in these past years, you've gotten tall. You're an adult now, and I'm...still a child."
Snake Eaters
02-09-2005, 23:31
He shrugged,"You're older than me, by a long way. I class you as an adult, even if your society doesn't. Now go on, clean up"
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:33
She goes.
About twenty minutes later, she comes back out, with fresh clothes and no weapons (old clothes and scythe-chain thing banished, fresh clothes conjured), looking much better than when she'd left.
"Thanks for coming. I didn't even know what planet I was on."
Snake Eaters
02-09-2005, 23:34
"You'd be amazed. I've had Grath learn how to track signals. That's basically how I knew where you were"
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:35
"Yeah, they're good for that. They're called velxunai for a reason, you know."
Snake Eaters
02-09-2005, 23:36
"I gathered as much... he's been invaluable over the years. I've got you to thank for that... to my knowledge, no one else in Snake Eaters has ever owned anything like this. Anyway, how have you been? And what happened to you recently?"
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:38
"I've been okay. It's been as average a life as a mage of my class gets...what between work and learning and everything else. Today...has been kind of odd. So odd you might not believe me if I told you. But what about you, anyway? You tend to go out and do more stuff than I do."
Snake Eaters
02-09-2005, 23:40
He sensed she was tiptoeing round the subject, and smiled, inhaling the smell of his coffee which he's made whilst she was washing,"Not much, buisness for the most part. I've gotten out more though... the barriers between assasins and the rest of the unit is slowly being broken away"
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:42
"That's good. I remember you being as isolated as anything...and rather annoyed at how long the conversation went on the first time we met. And if not annoyed...not entirely happy. Merely tolerant."
Snake Eaters
02-09-2005, 23:43
"What can I say, I was young back then. I've changed"
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:46
She grins. "You're still young. Not as young, granted."
Snake Eaters
02-09-2005, 23:47
"Like you said, I'm an adult. I'm just going by what you said"
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:48
"Raven? I'll be fifty in a few short years. You barely turned twenty two years ago."
Snake Eaters
02-09-2005, 23:49
He shrugged,"You've got centuries, I've got fifty years... maybe less"
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:52
*Exaggerated sigh* "Always so dour. Do you remember how to laugh anymore?"
Snake Eaters
02-09-2005, 23:53
"Of course. Sometimes it's more difficult than others though... anyway, you still seem to be exactly the same height."
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:55
"Drow don't generally get taller than six iil...about five and a half of your 'feet' unit. I'm about...*does conversions* five feet and two inches, which is a good average height."
Snake Eaters
02-09-2005, 23:57
He smiled,"An average height of 5'2'', interesting... so, what actually happened to you out there?"
Kaymiril
02-09-2005, 23:59
"I fought, with three other members of my class and Mith, a seemingly endless horde of demons of several varieties, and things which might have been humans once. Well...Mith finally found a way to limit the horde...but it was still a tough battle. Cougar was fighting his brother...clone...thing."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 00:05
Raven's eyes nearly pooped out his skull at that point,"Cougar... clone... oh great, another one of them. James alone is bad enough, we don't need another"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 00:06
*Shrugs* "There isn't one anymore."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 00:08
"Oh boy... it's another one of those magick things that I don't understand... my jobs nice and simple. Go in, kill the mark, get out"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 00:09
"No...it's simple. They faced off, pounded the living crap out of each other, and just when Matthew C was about to kill our Cougar, Cougar stabbed him and shot him with his Gunblade, and that was that."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 00:13
"Sounds like a Cougar to me... in any case, James'll pull through. He always does... lucky bugger"
*A few days later*
James Cougar's eyes opened graudally. He had a pounding headache, and his limbs felt heavy. He looked around, struggling to focus on the room. Eventually his vision settled, and he smiled at finding himself in his own bed. He sat up, groaning slightly, before swinging his legs over the edge of the bed. He tried to stand, and collapsed backwards,"F**k!"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 00:15
Tari stays with Raven for a bit before her fashka levels are sufficient to teleport back.
*Later*
Rhenna was sitting in the room. "Good morning. Mith said to not push yourself too hard at first. You took quite a beating."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 00:18
He sighed, and lay back down,"What day and time is it?"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 00:18
"You've been out for three days, and it is five in the evening."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 00:19
"I have got one mother of a headache, I can't really feel my legs or arms... three days?"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 00:22
She goes over and sits next to him. "You took quite a beating...and if you'd acted one second slower..." a sort of half-smile crosses her face briefly, and she gently touches his cheek "...we'd both be dead by now."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 00:23
He smiled slightly, moving to her touch,"I know I took a beating... more than was planned, I'll wager. I can't stay awake long... but I will say this. If he had finished me, he was too weak to fight anymore"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 00:25
"I know...but so were you. Mith actually took you to Snake Eater Prime for human blood." She leans down and kisses him softly. "Get some rest, James. I should still be here when you wake up."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 00:26
He tried to lean up to kiss her again, but found he couldn't. It was an odd feeling, to be this weak, but it mattered not. He collapsed back to sleep.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 00:30
She laid down next to him, slipping into sleep herself, for the first time in four days.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 00:34
He stirred slightly, but was still so tired and had so far to mend, that he didn't move like he normally would. He tried to move his arm to hold her, but found himself unable to move. It was frustrating to him, even whilst he slept.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 00:35
His slight movement woke her, and she kissed his cheek and pulled his arm around her before drifting back off.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 00:37
He just kept sleeping. It was the human body at it's best. If in doubt, sleep on it.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 00:39
She slept for eight hours (for the first time in a long time), and generally stayed in the room. She was certain, now, that he'd be all right...but she still wanted to be there when he woke up.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 00:42
After another twenty-four hours, he woke up, saw her, and smiled,"You don't have to stay, you know. Although, I'm glad you did"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 00:43
"I told you I'd still be here. How are you feeling?"
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 00:44
"Like hell. I can't feel anything magick wise, nor is my physical side up to much at the moment"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 00:45
"I wasn't expecting it to be. You were better off after the Kaelis Ra battle...and you'd had less training then...and an entire building collapsed on top of you."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 00:46
"Never, in my whole life, has anyone, and I mean anyone pushed me that hard... that battle was something I don't think I'll ever forget"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 00:48
She reaches down to start stroking his hair. "And yet, like always, you'll be all right in the end. This *holds up his arm to demonstrate his current weakness* is only temporary."
Costh had finally managed to finish his vast, and rather obscure chart. Looking it over he grinned, he'd finally managed to compile the lists, and find the loop-hole he'd be looking for.
Having organised and set up the provisions for the loop-hole, he wondered what the others were doing, and how long he'd been working. Feeling/hearing a voice, he smiled. Writing a note saying where he was/how to get in touch with him, he left it on the table and went to meet his wife.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 00:50
She reaches down to start stroking his hair. "And yet, like always, you'll be all right in the end. This *holds up his arm to demonstrate his current weakness* is only temporary."
"I hope so... I don't like the feeling. I know why I feel bad magickally wise... that much power was not meant for humans"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 00:52
"Then you'll have the good sense to take it easy for a few days while you recover."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 00:54
He chuckled,"Good theory... I intend to take it easy... well, easier than normal at the least"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 00:56
She raises an eyebrow.
"Don't make me keep you in my sight constantly until you're completely well again."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 00:58
He smiled, and squeezed her hand,"I won't, don't worry about it, alright? I know you've not been sleeping, you've been worried. I'll do my best not to make it worse, alright"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 00:59
She smiled softly and leaned down to kiss him. "I'll be okay. Just get better."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 01:00
He kissed her back, enjoying the brief contact between them, savouring it,"No worries... I should be back to normal within in a week or two, on the magick side at least. Physically, I'm basically fine... give it another few days though"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 01:04
She nods. "I can't tell you how glad I am you're okay. I also doubt I can describe how much I wanted to kill him myself...my father's style."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 01:05
"I gathered as much... and I'm more glad that you're ok."
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 01:07
"No reason not to be. It was only a few demons."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 01:08
"I still worry about you... when you get like that, you tend to take as many risks as I do... with potentially worse consequences"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 01:09
"James, dear...I've had many, many years of experience. You don't need to worry."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 01:10
"Comes with the job, doesn't it"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 01:11
"Yes, I suppose it does."
Warhaven
03-09-2005, 04:58
***Three Days Earlier, during the Battle***
Warfare, and family make their way to Leviathan. They gather together what remained of his body, and Warfare quite firmly grasps Leviathan's soul.
W - Alright, lets go before someone notices.
The three prepare to leave. Arianna began an old fashioned raising spell that works on Gods. It involed a Kiss, and Gypsy had been selected to deliver.
OOC: And that's that, feel free to take it from there to simplify things, S.E. I don't want either of you waiting for me.
Snake Eaters

***Three Days Earlier, during the Battle***
Warfare, and family make their way to Leviathan. They gather together what remained of his body, and Warfare quite firmly grasps Leviathan's soul.

OOC: And that's that, feel free to take it from there to simplify things, S.E. I don't want either of you waiting for me.
The shards of Leviathan's soul began to congregate, fusing together to reform his body, mind, spirit and soul. As the kiss was delivered, the Black Flame returned to existence with a vengence, targetting every demon it could reach and burning them together. It seemed as if Leviathan couldn't wait to be corporeal once more.
<snip>
He smiled, and lay back down, unable to support his weight much longer
<snip>
Eldrad followed Costh to his new home, intent on finding something out
Warhaven
03-09-2005, 13:26
W - That's it, here we go.
The three Waited for Leviathan to finish pulling himself together, literally and then Gypsy opened a door to back to Riptide.
She pushed Leviathan through first, then Arianna went through, Warfare tried to stay, but she forced Warfare through, then she stepped through. Then she burned the Tapestry hanging on the tree, closing the door to the Chaos Plane.
W - Now, You need to wait a few days, to make sure your all here, figurativly speaking, and get used to everything again. Take it from me, I've done this Five times. The first ones always the worst. You can wait here if you like, or you can go to back to snake Eaters.
Warfare knew Leviathan would probably have a Migrane Sinus headache at the very least, almost all gods did. However, Each God was diffrent, and so were the effects of Returning.
Either way. Leviathan was offically back.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 13:34
Leviathan did not speak, nor did he look at his friends. There was, as of yet, no reaction from him. He merely started walking... where to, he did not know. He just decided to walk.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 13:52
He smiled, and lay back down, unable to support his weight much longer
She lays down next to him...not to sleep, just to be there.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 13:54
He smiled, his eyes half closed. He tried at one point to levitate a glass of water over... and found he couldn't do it. At that moment in time, the glow was gone from behind his eyes, and he looked as he had when she had first met him.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 13:57
She smiles softly and levitates the water over for him.
"You're cute, you know that?"
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 13:58
He sipped at the water, and smiled at her,"Where did that come from?"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 13:59
She smiles back. "I don't know...possibly because I'm still glad you made it. And partially because it's true."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 14:00
"I doubt you're the only person who is glad I made it... even though my friends have no idea of what happens here, or when I'm doing stuff like this. Thanks though," he said, kissing her as best her could, which was difficult.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 14:03
She kissed him back, letting it linger for a while.
"Get some rest, James."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 14:04
He nodded slightly, and began to fade back into unconciousness.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 14:05
She kissed his forehead softly, and waited until he was asleep to leave him. She'd be back later.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 14:06
He, of course, didn't notice. Rosie lept onto the bed after Rhenna had gone, and curled up near her master... she may have been mute, but she could still show how she cared.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 14:11
Rhenna was gone for a few hours, then return to check on James.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 14:13
He was still asleep, but it wasn't as deep as before. His muscles were twitching occasionally, but other than that, there was no change.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 14:14
She sat down next to him and began soothingly running her fingers through his hair.
The nightmares of this are likely to plague him for longer than usual.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 14:16
He relaxed slightly, although there was still the occassional twitch. He was better than most people, who would thrash around in their sleep. He didn't do that.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 14:20
She leaves him again, returning that evening.
Deciding that it would probably be best for her to be awake should he need anything, at least for one more night, she sat down next to him. She touched his forehead to check for fever, then called D'anthe over to get some work done.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 14:22
He was cool, at least to a human hand. To her, he felt normal. He was fine... mostly. There wasn't any real trouble that night, the occasional twitch. Rosie rubber herself against her masters outstretched hand, and he calmed slightly.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 14:24
In the morning, she left a meal and water by the bed, then left. She had actual work to do in Rendelmar that day, and couldn't be with him as much as she would have preferred.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 14:25
He woke up at about ten, and smiled as he saw the food. He didn't feel much like eating, but he tried anyway. He managed about a quater of it before he felt full... it was like all he wanted to do was drink. He propped himself up against the headboard, and began checking the news headlines. All looked clear.. things were getting back to normal.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 14:28
Inoculations were still about the only thing Kaymiril was shipping to Snake Eaters...if the virus had infected anyone else, and that someone else came in contact with others...
The other things being shipped (in much smaller quantities) were the cures Mith was able to duplicate from the one he'd gotten.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 14:30
Of course, the shipments were received gladly. Snake Eaters still accompanied many vessels on voyages of exploration, and still ran patrols in Kaymirilian space until it was asked to stop. Until then, they would be there.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 14:33
Kaymiril had become enough of a space force to patrol her own borders, but wouldn't ask the Snake Eaters ships to leave.
Some of them were actually being pressed into transporting inoculations.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 14:41
Things had remained as they were for a reason. They worked. There had been an incident whereby a Snake ship had been fired on by a Kaymirilian vessel due to a case of mistaken identity, but it had all been sorted out without incident.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 14:46
Rhenna returned a little later. She smiled at seeing him awake, then glanced at the food still left on the bedside table and banished the remains.
"Feeling any better?"
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 14:53
"A bit. Well, my body is anyway"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 14:54
"Good." She kisses him. "Think you're up to standing?"
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 14:56
He kissed her back, and nodded, making to stand up. He winced as his feet touched the floor, although it was also a good thing. He could feel them again. He propped himself against the bedside table.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 14:57
She helps him stand.
He must be feeling awful...
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 14:58
He was feeeling awful. Still feeling nauseous, and not great in magick, he was determined to stick it out.. he'd felt worse before. After a moment, he got his balance, and stood there,"That's a relief, I can tell you now"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 15:00
She smiles softly, but the concern she's been feeling shows in the slight gauntness of her face, and in her eyes.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 15:03
He noticed this, and looked at her closely, seeing the truth in her eyes... she was like him when this sort of thing happened,"I know this may sound hypocritical coming from me, but you need to rest somemore. I'm fine now. I can stand... walking with a stick will be required for a little while, and training is out, but otherwise, I'm fine"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 15:05
"I'll be fine, James. Focus on your recovery."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 15:06
He nodded, privately not agreeing with her. But still, he decided it best not to voice it... angry and tired, coupled with sorry and stress... not a good combination in anyone, especially anyone with dragon in their veins.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 15:09
She sighs, giving in. "I'll rest tonight."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 15:10
Damn... she can read my mind... oh wait, I knew that already
He smiled, and kissed her,"Good"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 15:11
She kissed him back.
"You haven't been the only worrysome one...Tari was missing for an entire day after the battle."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 15:12
"How'd she manage that... I assume she got back safely"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 15:14
"She did...she wound up mis-teleporting somehow. Ended up in Snake City. Her friend from the Assassin Academy, Raven, took her in long enough that she could get enough rest to teleport back safely."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 15:15
Cougar smiled,"Raven's turned into a good man... well, I say man by human standards."

"Tari said he was a very bitter child when she met him. Not bad...just bitter, and lonely."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 15:20
"Most of us are bitter in SESOU, for one reason or another. And for the most part, we're lonely."
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 15:21
She sits back down on the bed, gently pulling him with her. "Loneliness, we find, is a bad thing."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 15:23
He sat next to her, relief flooding through his body as the light pain subsided from the balls of his feet,"Sometimes it is necessery... but you're right, it's a bad thing."
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 15:26
She rests her head on his shoulder. It would take time for him to recover...but the important thing was that he would recover.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 15:27
He put his arm round her, and closed his eyes. He would be fine, he knew that. It was all a question of time.. how much time he didn't know. But, all things took time.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 15:28
"I have to go for a bit...you need anything in the meantime?"
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 15:29
He smiled, not having this side of her very often,"No, I'm fine. I might even go for a short walk later"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 15:30
She nods and kisses him softly before leaving.
"Just don't push yourself yet."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 15:32
He kissed her back,"I promise"
ABout a half hour after she left, he got dressed into his normal clothes, making a note that his coat needed replacing. He found something to help him balance, just in case, and set off for a brief walk, making sure that his legs remembered their job.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 15:33
D'anthe kept relatively close...not his ideal job, but he wasn't going to argue with Rhenna.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 15:36
He ignored the bird, knowing he was only doing his job. His appearance raised some eyebrows, but most knew of what had happened, and thus he was treated no differently. He was handicapped however. Not being able to work magick, nor having the strength for much else, severly limited his options.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 15:39
He was pretty much left alone to try to recover.
Renor, however, did appear.
"So, still alive. Some of us were beginning to wonder."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 15:43
Cougar looked at his master,"Yes, I'm still alive... my magick is completely shot. Theres no way in hell I can work anything for at least another week"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 15:47
"You drained yourself of fashkan ((both fashka and tupora fashka, when Fashkan, save at beginning of sentence, it is a Higher Level of power, eg a god's)), and now are having trouble drawing it back in. Only expected, at your level."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 15:47
"It's odd... I'd grown so used to it, and now it's like an empty space within... a feeling I had forgotten"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 15:51
"You'll live. Once your tupora fashka has gathered again, you'll be able to draw fashka."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 15:52
He nodded, and shifted his weight to the other foot, so as to take the pressure off the other,"What of the balance?"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 15:53
"It is all but restored."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 15:54
Cougar smiled,"Good to hear. Finally, this buisness can be laid to rest... I shall see you soon, Renor... I have other things to attend to before I need to rest again"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 15:56
The mage nods, and as Coguar's turning to go, disappears again, like he'd never been there.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 16:01
Cougar shook his head, and spent a few hours catching up with his teammates, seeing how the unit was... how Iliyakim was doing. Being Rhenna's cousin, he felt obligied to keep a closer eye on him, but his tendency to wish for death had been knocked out of him, and he'd turned into a valuable member of the unit, already working with Gamma team as their commander.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 16:03
And he had thus become the first Drow to take up permanent residence on Snake Eaters.
It was a cultural adjustment...but in any culture, to be silent more often than one speaks results in less trouble.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 16:04
Cougar eventually finished his buisness, and returned to his room, settling back onto the bed with a good book, and a glass of water. He was alright, and was getting better by the minute.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 16:06
Rhenna gets back at about eight that evening. She smiles, a real one for the first time in days.
"You look like you're feeling better."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 16:07
He looked, and saw her smiling, which caused him to,"I'm feeling better as well..."
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 16:10
She sat down next to him. "I'm glad."
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 16:11
"You're looking better now than you did earlier... calmed down some"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 16:13
"I've been worried."
That much was easy to admit...he'd have easily been able to feel it.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 16:14
"I gathered as much, even when I was asleep"
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 16:16
She smiles and leans down to kiss him.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 16:17
He kissed her back, and then urged her to get some sleep. He wasn't going anywhere, and he was fine... well, from a certain point of view.
Kaymiril
03-09-2005, 16:18
She agrees to, with some exasperation.
However, once she's settled in beside him, she's very quickly asleep.
Snake Eaters
03-09-2005, 16:19
He smiled, and slept beside her. All was right with the world....
OOC: And thus, we reach the end of our journey. Thank you for watching, and we hope you tune in next time.
