Zachana smiled at him, then got up and started to dress,
"For give me, elven one. I feel a need to retrieve your gems. I will return momentarily," she quickly brushed out her hair and tugged her coat straight. She paused to wink at Shadow before she left his room. She had no idea how House Shelarth had gotten a hold of part of her hoard, but she could guess. Her possessions were spread out all over, not only in one big pile in her den. Likely, a scout had found the chest and hauled it back. Fortunaley all of her hoard was enchanted to her command, if she caught anyone stealing it. This Dameon, she had not given permission. She picked out his scent quickly and tapped his shoulder when she found him. She drew herself up to her full 6'1 height as he turned around. Her dark eyes stared ominously at him and her lip curled slightly. Not his at all. Her voice was cold and commanding as she spoke,
"I believe you have something of mine, and I have come to you to take it back, whether you like it or not," she pointed a finger at his chest and every gem that Shadow had given him jumped off him, hovering in mid air. She snapped her fingers and they melted together, rubies mixing with moonstone. She moved her finger to point at the ground and the quivering mass of gems splashed onto the stone, and quickly oozed into unseen cracks, until the last drop squeezed out of sight. He had no right. He was lucky she did not snap him up on the spot, "If you have any problems, please relay them to Lord Avalon," she whirled on her heel and walked away, head held high.
<<Avalon, if Dameon comes to you in question of the gems he took from me, simply tell him Kaishin'azunwith does not approve of men holding her possessions without her permission>>
Slightly startled at hearing her use her draconic name, he agreed, chuckling.
Nodding to herself, she stepped back into Shadow's rooms and closed the door quickly. The mass of gems was there, hovering next to the chest. She snapped her fingers and the lid flew open, the gems hardened and seperated into their proper forms and bounced in with their mates, the lid closing after them. She dusted off her hands and sat next to Shadow with a grin,
"There, you've got your gems back. I hope it pleases you," she winked and squeezed his arm.
