[Calaethis Dragonsbane]

Sylquis looked at the great dragon, still in awe of him, shyly she curtsied, "My Lord Avalon" she said shyly, using Calaethis's title for the great creature. She bowed her head, unsure of what to do or say, looking exceedingly vunerable and innocent. The girl was still soaked, luckily she hadn't undressed for bed the night before, and had slept in her clothes... her clothes and shift was damp though, and she was chilly. Instinticivly, she toook a half-step closer to the dragon, hoping his body warmth would keep the chill off.

Calaethis snarled about how close his elven chain came to being lost. He merged with the shadows, and muttered sourly. He went to find Tyra - and finding the startled elf, he took her behind a rock, out of sight of the others. Crouching down, he asked, "Are you allright Tyra? You seem a little damp" he said with droll humor. She smiled back at him, in spite of herself, "Just a little my lord." she said with warmth. Calaethis touched her damp cheek, and then her tunic. "This will never do, your thoughly soaked, curse that dragon." He looked at her bag, and swore. "Idiot! Shes soaked your entire traveling bag - it will be useless soon, damn that bloody..." He broke off as Tyra gasped, "My lord! You must not speak so! Lady Alliene will be furious if she hears!" Calaethis grinned, and tweaked the girls nose. "Shes my cousin, and your damp. Now get undressed." Tyra obeyed instantly, stripping down to her shift, and gave him a questioning look. He blushed suddenly, and placed his cloak around her, enchanted with magic to keep the elements off it, and hide the weared from all scrying magic, cool in summer and warm in winter, lined with thick fur, it doubled up as a blanket.

Calaethis gently placed it around her shoulders, and then gingerly touched her shift. That was damp too. Tyra gave him a quick look, and turned her back on him. The shift came off, the cloak still covering her. She turned around once more, and wrung her hair out. She'd taken the worst of the tidal wave, since she'd slept closer to pool then the others had. Pulling the cloak around her, she smiled at Calaethis, and spoke gently, "Thank you Lord Calaethis, your cloak" she gave him a shy smile, "Is very warm and comfortable, I'm drying already..." she said in surprise. She'd already laid her clothes on the rock, and the sun, swiftly rising was already drying them. Her travel bags were drying rapidly too, along with their contents. With a smile, she kissed her lord on his cheek to his surprise and embaressment. He placed an arm around her shoulders and gave her a reassuring hug. Then he politely turned his back as she dressed again, and handed back his cloak. He left silently, followed by her.
