Jedi_Master_Sage exerts all of his concentration toward thesingle goal of keeping himself and several long bamboosticks in an elaborate fashion, levitated with the force

Jedi_Master_Sage > in the forest

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan give me your hand." is all she says.She pushes any air out of the syringe and waits forcompliance.

KON_Justin_Callahan just switches, offering his right hand.though he never stops watching what she was doing

JPShaylaKaar was currently crouched within a treeslightly beside but to the back of Sage her heart andbreath rate lowered as she was trained to do from a

young age her mind currently like an empty void toavoid detection for the most part

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan watches him carefully as she slidesthe needle into the dermis and presses the syringe.Instantly the nerves are deadened. He could use hishand but from his wrist down he would feel nothing."something for the pain."

Jedi_Master_Sage manuveres the beams as he keepshimself leviated, the beams seeming to interlock

KON_Justin_Callahan that suprises him just a little, and helooks to her face, very curious for a moment before he

gives a small smile and a nod of thanks Dark_Epiphany_Cyan runs her thumb over the top of hishand as she withdraws the needle ," can you feel me?"She sets the syringe aside though it remains half full still.

JPShaylaKaar moved swiftly with a speed and agility thatwould seem out of place for her height manuevered fromthe tree onto Sage's levitating bamboo sticks brieflybefore flipping over her Master's head a bamboo stick ofher own tapping out and against Sage's

JPShaylaKaar shoulder as she then landed crouched butalert on the ground her gaze watching Sage

KON_Justin_Callahan looks down to her hand, her touchand shakes his head but a few flashes make him lookdistant a moment...he can remember that touch heblinks a few times and looks back to her "not right nowno"


2/40

Jedi_Master_Sage raised an eyebrow as he finds himselftapped, his concentration wavers for a moment as the

placed beams slip into a sort of frame that he balanceson, relying on his martial prowess

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan nods " then this is your show now"she stand aside giving him access to a medbed and asilver tray of instruments.

JPShaylaKaar : had I been anyone else and that asabre not a stick Master you probably would bebleeding all over the place right now

Jedi_Master_Sage balances on one foot, his arms stretchedout in a Saorin pose to ensure balance "Sabers cauterisewounds, besides, I know you would be fast enough tostop them" he flips down, grabbing one of the supporting

beams that he slides down to reach the ground Jedi_Master_Sage : How have you been apprentice?

JPShaylaKaar : busy for the most part since you'vebeen rather pre-occupied with your love life I'vebeen practising and studying on mine amongother things

KON_Justin_Callahan takes a breath settling his mind, heconsciously has to force his hand closed, the small

peices of claw stuck in the two remaining locks moving

into his hand, a very small flash of pain in his forarm butnothing thankfully in his hand he will pick up a > KON_Justin_Callahan small blade, much sharper then his

own...then pause and offer it to her. offering to let hersee up close the inner workings of what shes studied

Jedi_Master_Sage :Yes, I do appreciate your patience. Whydon't we see how your study has progressed?

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan you wish me to cut you?" shethought that was odd. In fact she had no idea what sortof help he expected of her.

Jedi_Master_Sage pushes the beams to angle low enoughto produce makeshift benches, two facing across eachother, he sits down on one and gestures for Shay to dothe same

KON_Justin_Callahan : yeah, why not. youve read thejournals...now you can see how it all works. and i can have

more hands for toolsJPShaylaKaar sat down cross legged on the makeshift

bench Jedi_Master_Sage : We'll take turns, one will ask a question

and the other will answer, and see if any discussiondevelops Jedi_Master_Sage :You may ask the first question

JPShaylaKaar : excuse me? Jedi_Master_Sage : About the force, the jedi code,

something of that nature Dark_Epiphany_Cyan takes the blade and without

hesitation she makes about a three inch incision from hisring finger knuckle to almost his wrist. She was notsqueamish. In fact she enjoyed all that something like

this entails. Experimenting was such an interest for her. KON_Justin_Callahan wasnt really all that effected either

and he watched her before he picked up a few morethings, to seperated the skin and keep it from sealingshut on them. taking just a moment he shifted hisfingers, making the housings move. showing her shortlyhow >

KON_Justin_Callahan the locks worked within his hand, hewill point out how exactly they are attached...all rather

professional just now trying to keep his mind focusedlest he get lost in another memoryJPShaylaKaar : is it true that there are worlds were

you can sense the force more strongly if so whatare some of them?

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan reaches in to touch the housing ashe moves it. She looked like a facinated child as a smilespread across her face. Her pale eyes lit with interest."what are the properties of this metal? Can you feel metouch the housing? Can it break with enough

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan force?" her questions came easilyand rapid fire much as a child might do.

KON_Justin_Callahan "the metal tends to disipate andspread energy over a wider area, like pouring water ontoa table. same ammount just pooled outward." hesmiled"at the moment no i cant feel it, but i would have before

the solution" he tips his head thinking and finds > Jedi_Master_Sage : In a manner of speaking, some worlds

like Dagobah or Kashyyk are more strongly felt becausesuch worlds teem with layers of varied ecosystems, the

natural life presences are very strongly felt there.. otherworlds like Dantooine and Ossus, where peace> KON_Justin_Callahan that a bad idea as one more memory

drives painfully through his skull...but he does answer itfor her "i was dropped three stories onto duracrete...andnone of the metal even dented" he paused "but amilitary powered sniper rifle went through the metal >

KON_Justin_Callahan in my shoulder" KON_Justin_Callahan : so i would guess that point force is

more effective then blunt force

Jedi_Master_Sage : and harmony almost emanate from thesands and trees, make excellent meditation places. Otherworlds like Nar Shardaa and Coruscant are also teemingwith life, but in a less orderly, far more chaotic manner, onecan either get lost in what they feel, or >

Jedi_Master_Sage : become attuned to it, others block outthe chaos of such worlds. Then there are places like Ziost,Byss and Korriban.. the darkside taints those places, takegreat care before trusting what you feel on such worlds, if

you ever have need to venture there > Jedi_Master_Sage : at all Dark_Epiphany_Cyan nods casually" yes that makes sense.

What else do you know?" she looks up at him nowwaiting for him to continue his extraction.

KON_Justin_Callahan "it stops vibroblades...and doesntdull" he smirks and picks up a small tool, fitting itbetween his knuckle and the lock housing, popping theweld before doing the same on the other side

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan it welds like any other metal. Howinteresting." She watches closely. intently. She stilldidnt know exactly why he wanted her help. She hadnot helped thus far. It began to pose a question in hermind.

KON_Justin_Callahan "ok.." he gave quietly "now do me afavor and cut that out of there" motioning to the small

tendons holding the blade peices, that moved themalong his arm while he actually took hold of the lock andheld it away from him as little as it would go. it was>

KON_Justin_Callahan very hard earlier for him to do both,

he almost couldnt Jedi_Master_Sage : Does that help?JPShaylaKaar : it does

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan cut them? you wish me to severyour tendons? " to her that seemed...drastic.

KON_Justin_Callahan : they'll be reabsorbed, they only holdthe blades, just cut em

KON_Justin_Callahan the tendons she can see holding themetal, how he has no idea but they do...are not part ofhis original structure, they were added specificly for the

blades Dark_Epiphany_Cyan : there is no other way? you will lose

mobility. You will not be able to replace the claws Justin.

Jedi_Master_Sage : Have you been to any of those worlds,aside from Ossus, Dantooine and Coruscant?

KON_Justin_Callahan : so? im not planning toJPShaylaKaar : not to my knowledge

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan looks at him carefully." why not?"she made no move to sever the tendons just yet. They

would atrophy soon after being severed. Jedi_Master_Sage : Have you been to worlds that you didnot know the names of?

KON_Justin_Callahan : the man who made this part of myupgrades is long dead...i would have to redesign the entiresystem, find the metal to replace it, forge it and then havesomeone nearly take my arm off to put them in...way tomuch hassle

JPShaylaKaar : can't recall possibly? Jedi_Master_Sage :You've never mentioned memory lapses

before.. Dark_Epiphany_Cyan looks down at his hand and slides

the blade tip along the metal housing and expertlysevers the tendons. Her skill was obvious thoughunexplained."very well"

JPShaylaKaar : who said anything about memory


6/40

lapses? KON_Justin_Callahan winced just partly at that, because

the tendons had been beyond his wrist at least part ofthem but the pain is very brief and that two inch lock

and peice of blade will come free from his hand"nice...way better then i could ever hope to do" Dark_Epiphany_Cyan pulls the housing free and hands it to

him and without hesitation she picks up the blade andmakes the next incision. She uses the blade tip to popthe welds and then she looks at him. She actuallysmiled because being a blade maker he would probably

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan wince at her using the blade tip as apry bar.

KON_Justin_Callahan gruffs softly and gives a chuff of air at

the missuse of the tool he watches her take care of thisone, which was actually much easier then him cuttinghimself, it was a strange angle for him to work at

JPShaylaKaar : night all)) Jedi_Master_Sage : night)) KON_Justin_Callahan : ni ni)

8JPShaylaKaar has left the conversation. Jedi_Master_Sage : headaches do blow]] KON_Justin_Callahan : usually yes)

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan she chuckles as she then slides theknife on either side of the housing severing the tendonsthat hold it in place. It slides free and comes loose intoher hand.

KON_Justin_Callahan nods once "yes definatly much easierthen trying to muck with it myself. much easier" he pullshis hand open, she can see the muscles move and thetendons disappear they will be absorbed and disgardedwithin a couple hours, he will reach for the >

KON_Justin_Callahan equipment keeping the wounds open Dark_Epiphany_Cyan she holds one housing in her hand

and watching him now. She sets the dagger aside on thetray.

KON_Justin_Callahan "i can toss these in the forge with therest...later" he looked to her "thank you" he gave, verysincerely

Jrad Ash leanint back into his flight seat, he takes a longdeep draw of the cigarette in his mouth, the in flightcomputer would tell him when he would need to takecontrol of the ship for the approch to Naboo

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan nods slightly" your welcome." shehands the housing to him and then moves over to washher hands. And says " I would leave you now but this isa restricted area." She turns to look at him now.

KON_Justin_Callahan glances down to his bloody hand andthen smirks "ok so we both move out of the room then?"motioning towards the door then frowns "how long doesthis stuff last?"

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan : unless you take the other half of the shot,you will feel it in about ten minutes.

KON_Justin_Callahan tips his head "no effects i should beworried about? or is it natural"

Jrad Ash watches as the smoke circulates about the celingof the cockpit, small ventilation ducks sucking it from hissight, he begins reflecting on the months past, it hasntbeen easy moving from one planet to the next, neverknowing where the next wage will come

Jrad Ash from Dark_Epiphany_Cyan at one time you knew me better. If I

wanted you dead I could have injected you a hundredtimes over with a simple solution of and commercialmedicine . It will do you no harm" she moves to leavethe laboratory expecting him to follow her.

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan : any*) KON_Justin_Callahan snorts softly "i meant tingling

or...maybe even drunkness" he does indeed follow her,padding silently and his body informed him it was timeto eat again

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan you will experience neither. " shecontinues to walk toward the upper levels of the manor.

KON_Justin_Callahan nods once more and still followsalong with her though ends up pausing a moment asthey pass one of the secret doors. a flash of him showingher...no phainien. he puts a hand against the wall andwaits for it to go

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan senses him stop and the followingconfusion and she turns to watch him, knowing full wellwherehe placed his hand.

KON_Justin_Callahan he will stay there for several minutes,

in silence as the scene plays for him before he opens hiseyes and grumbles softly what the words are even hecant make out but they dont sound all that nice "well...iknow a little more about the house now"

Jedi_Master_Sage hmm... this probably looks evil enoughhttp://img.hexus.net/v2/gaming/screenshots/x360/elder_scrolls_large_3.jpg]]

Marnth yeah, just a bit) Dark_Epiphany_Cyan what is it you think you know? " the

words he says shock her though she knew he didnt have

the power to back them up. The ancient tongue alonewas just that. A language. The door was imbued withrunes that required the power to open the door.Safeguard

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan : done)Jrad Ash the soft beeping from the instrument pannel

infront of him pulls him from his toughts, sitting up righthe taps a button, bringing up a HUD of approch vctor,volocity etc.

Jedi_Master_Sage but then this may be betterer!http://til.gamingsource.net/gallery/oblv_concept12B.jpg] KON_Justin_Callahan taps the door, unseen in the solid

rock "these fragments are giving me nasty headaches"before he went to continue up towards her and thehouse hallways

Marnth second onr is better ins my oppinion Sage)Marnth one*)

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan thats unfortunate." she was curiouswhat he was remembering but she wouldnt ask. In truthit wasnt important as she never expected him toremember anything . In fact she never expected manyof the things that have happened in the last day or so.She

once again pad along the cold black marble floor. KON_Justin_Callahan still he follows, he watched her form

before he spoke finally a while later while they wereupon the marble now "you always look at me curiously

when i stop...did you want to know?" at least he thinkthats what the look was, it could very well be > KON_Justin_Callahan annoyance for all he knew right now

to tell me then yes. I am curious. " she heads into thekitchen , a remarkably normal and mundane thing, shehad to eat and knew he would have to as well in order toheal rapidly. She needed him to heal rapidly. She pulleda container from

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan the cooler and sets it on the marbletopped island.

Jrad Ash opening up a comms channel to Theed's towercontrol he stubbs out his cigarette "Control, this is Delta-83 requesting landing in landing bay 3"

KON_Justin_Callahan will steal a chair and look at her"for...i guess it would be almost a year of my time with

you, the rendering of my mind has been unravling,though rather randomly. peices and memories of

phainien and everything before" Dark_Epiphany_Cyan listens as she warms the food, a

meat mixture he may or may not be familiar with but itwas clear she knew what he needed. She warmed itslightly and put it in front of him casually before shelooks to her own hunger. Justin always required a bit of8Hugo_Vassmarrii has joined the conversation.

8t has joined the conversation. Dark_Epiphany_Cyan finesse in dealing with him. He

rarely responded to force but it seemed even now heresponded to her favorably with just a touch of honey.

Cyan was never what she appeared and it didnt matterwhat she had to do to get what she wanted. She hadpatience

Jedi_Master_Sage : wb] Dark_Epiphany_Cyan that travelled the years. KON_Justin_Callahan he went on and told her of his first

wife...which he still remembered little of but it wascomming along, sort of and then redvengance and a fewother darksiders, comming to her. he remembered herknocking him out and literally stealing him

Jedi_Master_Sage was also wandering the streets t : ty)

8t is away. Dark_Epiphany_Cyan listens intently as she eats quietly.

She knew it all. Phainien was very open with her.However she let him talk.

Hugo_Vassmarrii glances around the terrace, noticingonly Ron and...Leah?

_Coyle_elaney was moving through theed, wearing a

pair of old jeans and a white shirt. He looked scruffy asalways, and had an unlit ciggy hanging from his lip KON_Justin_Callahan he shrug a bit later and looked to her

"but everythings fragmented, its like a very large jigsawpuzzle...and no picture to go with it" he shook his headthen ate a bit of his

Jedi_Master_Sage nods to Marinth as he passes her by, notknowing who she is

Marnth blinked as she noticed the guy she had mett onthe beach a bit further and offered him a bright smilebefore hurrying up her pace to catch up with him. Hewas one new friend and she had allways liked makingfriends, blinking she gave a soft smile at the _Coyle_elaney then where I grew up, but I ken kinda seeyeer reasonin'." he paused a moment taking anotherlong draw of the ciggy and repeating his previous actionsas he exhaled "found anytin interestin yet?"

KON_Justin_Callahan sighs softly "im not sure. and to tellthe truth im a little afraid of it"

Jedi_Master_Sage ooohh even betterhttp://elderscrolls.com/art/obliv_conceptart.htm]

Marnth smirked to him then "yeah, you" she chukkled

then as she put her hands in her pockets before shetipped her head "and where would you be from then, theaccent is kinda noticable you see"

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan :you should be. Returning your memoriesdoesnt just give you a picture. It doesnt just put pieces in their

places.

t was standing outside the hospital where Dinay laidinside a sterile room, a tube keeping breathe in herlungs.. how he wanted to go to her side, but there was

doubt in his mind now. He sighed heavilyand sat on abench closing his eyes... he so easily > t doubted himself, and despite peopletelling him, what

was clearly the truth... he wouldnever harm her... he hadto believe it himself, which was hard

KON_Justin_Callahan : a half a time table would be nice evenif they arent reordered in my head

_Coyle_elaney "me? well I dinnae if I am interestin', buttankye anyway" he said with a soft smile..and againsucked back on the cigarette as if it were the tastiestthing ever, when really it was more like sucking on anexhaust pipe. "I were born an' raised on a lil>

Dark_Epiphany_Cyan shakes her head" you misunderstandme. What I mean is ordering your mind, righting it,would not just bring back memories. All of theknowledge you once possessed would return as well. "

shakes her head slightly." you dont want that." she setsher food

_Coyle_elaney planet called Isle... " not many had heardof it, unless they knew U3... the band had kinda put the

warring planet on the map. Dark_Epiphany_Cyan aside and walks out of the roomswiftly. She was angry , he was playing with her. Shethrew open the heavy doors of her bedroom with a waveof her hand. The power dripping from her as if it were anexpensive jewel. She wore it well.

KON_Justin_Callahan blinks at that reaction. yeah ok keephis mouth shut, the reaction and his own thoughtbrought one more memory for the day, one that wouldsend him to the floor with how sharply it returned...and

would probably keep him there a while Marnth shrugged then "why wouldn't you be interesting?"

She smiled then before she made a face at the cigarettebut didn't call on it. She nodded then and tipped herhead "oh yeah, i heard off that place. That one band"she frowned then "U3 or something's from

_Coyle_elaney breath" Wraith : By "after," I mean after the mission and I hold up my

end of the deal. As for what I'm holding back, thats alot, I'vegot history and other secrets that are way too many to sharein a single night, so if there's a particular thing you want toknow about>

Wraith : you need to be specific

Talera : you can start by telling me how you manage to appear onmy balcony and why you prefer the night. Marnth blinked then "you're weird pal" she gave sage an

odd look then "very weird, scarily weird" she smiled atthe arm then, gratefull for Coyle's presence

Wraith : Thats easy, I'm an amazing climber and nights arealways more exciting, besides, I've gotten so used to beingout at night, my eyes are used to the dark, I can't go outduring the day without glare-reduction lenses, so its justeasier to go out when its>

Wraith : dark Jedi_Master_Sage sighs and just walks away from them,

unsure if they really do find him intimidating or if theyare mocking him, he wanted neither

hot] Talera narrows her eyes at him." thats it? " her gut told

her it was more than that . t I'm hot, but the wrong kind... and wrong sex)

Jedi_Master_Sage too true] _Coyle_elaney watched the guy go, then looked to Mari"tink we upset him... he was gettin kinda... scary tho" hesaid softly then just shook his head "almos' like somedruggies I've seen"

t : would fetch her, but I feel really, not feminine tinight ) Marnth hugs sage) Wraith smirks "few things I ever say are ever the full story,

but this is only the third time we've ever met so I'm sorryif I'm not entirely forthcoming, but I promise that its true,

I really can see in the dark and can climb really well" Jedi_Master_Sage aww, ty] Marnth watched the guy go "okay, this place is still the

same" she nodded to coyles words then "and i agree,that was a tad scary" she smiled brightly then "thanksfor, you know being my kind and wonderfull knight" shemotioned to his arm with a smirk then

Talera suddenly she gets serious" ok so let me illustrate afew things for you" After leading the UFF and her men

on countless missions it might be clear by her tone nowthat she was not some dumb female who enjoyedgames." I don't make a habit of going

_Coyle_elaney "aye, jus' a tad" he said with a soft laughand slipped his arm away from her shoulders "yeerwelcome... hope I dinna make yeer uncomfy" he said andsmiled gently. he couldn't help his reaction, it wasinbredinto him, and well he had a huge protective >

Talera to the outter reaches of the galaxy with strangemen or people I cannot trust. In order for this mission tobear any kind of fruit at all we need to trust eachother. Ifthats impossible for you and I then we can simply partways and move on. I am not a

Talera particularly open person but nor am I cryptic. Whatyou see is what you get. Im an average woman who hasled a slightly more than average life. However if I can'ttrust you Liam. You won't get on my ship."

Wraith : I already told you what I used to be, a killer. And that Imade a decision to make up for that past by helping peopleinstead. I've got skills and tools that can make me veryhandy and I come from Isle.. what more do you want toknow?

Marnth smiled and let him take his ar away "I wouldn't bethanking you if you made me uncomfy Coyle. I'm smalland scrawny but I can still defend mysellf" she smiledagain then

t ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh we're everywhere! we're taking

over naboo) Talera : I want to know everything about you. Your being a killer

doesnt bother me near so much as your reluctance to trust me. If

you don't trust me then how do I know when push comes to shove

you wont turn from me? You say your handy. I don't doubt that

but

'abit I picked up... also, 'twould be slappin all me mam's'ard work in th' face" he said with a soft, almost sadsmile... then moved along, motioning her to move alongwith him

Talera runs a hand through her hair and sighs." as awoman the dark and mysterious thing is rather attractivehowever on the business side. Its not." she needed toknow what she was dealing with on all sides. In turn shewould do the same for him. She needed

Talera to be able to trust him and vice versa. Talera : done) Wraith : Everything? There's alot to know, I'm older than I

look, but that'd be telling. But if its tactics that worry you, I'll

Talera low grade air filter? " she raises an eyebrow. She

knew some tricks of her own but what troubled her mostwas that he was so very reluctant to be frank with her.

Wraith : Sometimes it makes my eyes reflect bright light oreven glow, so don't be freaked by it

Marnth smiled then as she followed him. She rememberednothing off her past, not even her own parents, so shenever minded hearing about the past off others "sochivalry isn't dead afterall. Where have you been all mylife?" She gave him a grin then,

Talera : why is that? I sit here , seeing you and its hard for me toimagine how , with everything you just told me, that you don't see

your value.

Talera : I mean even just on a business level. Talera : done) _Coyle_elaney tryin tae suck ye in tae me charms... " he

Talera : hmm? yes why?wmr comeing to her door he stops a moment to

straighten his clothing a bit before reaching out to knockon the door Wraith :You just looked tense for a second there, thats all. I

Wraith : someone?Marnth smirked to his tone "I could drag you to the

bathroom and show you if you'd like?" Smiling she

picked the menu up and crossed her legs as she satdown, hiding her suprise as he had taken the chair outfor her as she scanned over the drinks

Talera turns sharply to look at the door. " no...." she looksback to Liam " excuse me a moment?" she stands andheads to the door, opening it she stands in the openingand smiles at Zwin" hello " her voice is soft.

wmr smiles to her as he sees her,"good morning" hesays to her before leaning in and offering her a kiss

Wraith looks to the door Talera is blocking the opening and she turns her headslightly letting him kiss her cheek." good morning ,um..you should have called." she gently admonisheshim. She casts a quick glance back into her room andthen looks at Zwin.

Wraith folds his arms as he gives a slight wave "hey"wmr you have company?" he asks her after he places

the kiss on her cheek, haveing heard the hey from amale voice

_Coyle_elaney coughed slightly at that comment, Coylehad one secret, he was a thirty year old virgin... he hadnever found that one woman, so he hadn't given himself"I'm sure ye are lass, tis fine" he said with a soft smirk,and settled the chair beneath her as she>8Tlj has joined the conversation.

no its not. Can we talk another time?" she ignores Liambut vows to give him a kick to the shins later.

Wraith : Its ok, I should be going anywayMarnth chukkled to the cough and his comment. She

loved flustering people like that with comments. She,obviouslly, wasnt a virgin but if she'd known about himshe would find it admirable that he wanted to wait forthe right person. She lowered the menu then

Wraith : Aww he wants you, to see you I mean. He's probablytrying to work out how to secure his place in your heart

Wraith : I think you can expect a speeder full of flowers Wraith : What I'm not sure I understand, is how you can say

value, as well as a bouquet of her favorite, once boxedup he heads to the Markan

waiter as he brought the drinks over, and thankedhim...then looked back to Mari "ye kinda dinna really

floors on the counter before going over to the bookcase,were he flips a hidden switch that causes the bookcaseto swing out, revealing a rack of wine bottle8Cirocco has joined the conversation.8Cirocco is away.

"ah here it is" he says as he pulled out a dust coveredbottle, gently he wipes the dust away, revealing thelabel, Caleigh Aminoc c. 2229, his oldest and sweetest

Cirocco : aaaaaaaand already afk )) _Coyle_elaney band, then became senator, also th'

pollie that had tae deal with th' after shocks of any newattack... uhm, bout a year ago, me mam were killed in

a cool breeze chilled her bare skin .wmr he stands then and walks over to the counter

were he lifts a rag to gently clean off the bottle Wraith slips his coat over Tal's shoulders, he had more just

like them, he whispers just loud enough but close to Tal'sear "see you in two days" he slips out of visibility with hisconcealment rune while Talera is looking out at the nightand slips out over>

nineteen when he died. I'm twenty-three now, I got overit. it will never stop hurting, never fully, but I have

Bernie. I have a piece with me for all time's." She smiledthen "beside's, like I said he< Talera pulls his coat around her shoulders his breath on

her neck taunted her senses and then it was gone. Sheknew he was gone. She didnt bother to look for him.

wmr he turns into the garden approaching the palaceonce again, looking up as he closes toward her balcony

Talera : yes like boundry one when asked to come back another timeyou respect my wishes and mine alone. boundry two you will not

Talera : I made it clear now was not a good time, yet you persisted atmy door and you tried to kiss me , teling me you would return with
