(ooc: I'm going to try to get Maverick to a stopping point now that Deiter's back...)
~They were finished with their meal at the five flagons, and walking to the docks when the red scythe on her arm began to flame ferociously. She removed her arm from Maverick's swiftly, clenching it in pain. A low his emerges from her throat, watching in horror as a stream of light shoots from the wrist to the nearby forest. She gives the wood-elf a mortified look before sprinting to the woods, trying to ignore the pain.~
~He stands shocked as she rushes to the forest, taking after her after moments that seemed to be parilyzed. He makes it to her side within the minute, she had something clenched tightly in her hand. He tries to look over her shoulder, his voice serious and concerned.~ "Chani... What's wrong? What is that in your hand? Chani?!"
~She twirls the leaf around in her hand. She sniffs back tears. The scythe had not burned its own shape. It had burned a sword. Albeit a bit crooked, but it was a sword. She whispers to herself.~ "Leafblade..." ~She looks at Maverick, straightening and giving an ironic smile.~ "He is near! Somewhere... Ah Deiter, he's here!" ~She holds up the leaf as if to give proof.~
~He looks surprised at the leaf, looking at the now calm scythe on her wrist. He peers at the leaf, dis-believing the shape, then turns back to her.~ "I take it this 'Deiter' is the man who needs to lose his head?" ~His black eyes look seriously into her blue ones.~ "I'll shatter the skull that shattered your heart dear one, you know this."
~She looks up into his dark ebony eyes.~ "Maverick... I..." ~She bites her lower lip, looking back at the leaf and its charred shape.~ "I..." ~She gropes for words in what seemed to be a void of vocabulary.~
~He shakes his head, brow creasing. An silver hoop at the end of his tapered ear glimmers in the setting sun.~ "You still care for one who harmed you so?" ~His shakes his head again.~ "I knew Cyrus for many moons more than you Chani... And yet it surprises me how you are so like him. He was betrayed one too many times. Don't make the same mistakes."
~She shivers in-voluntarily at the seemingly lifeless eyes.~ "And yet I am unlike Cyrus. I will not leave someone I love..." ~She quickly embraces the wood elf, speaking to his tapered ear.~ "I came too close to making that mistake... Forgive me." ~Without looking back she starts a quick pace down the cobblestone to re-kindle her search for Deiter.~
~He looks hopelessly on as she starts down the road. She was too far for ear-shot now. He watches as she dissapears to god knows where. He finds it to smile and an onyx twinkle crosses his eye~ "I need to check into an asylum... I just tried to steal the heart of the girl I took bathes with as a toddler." ~He laughs to himself, walking off to who knew where, twiddling the leaf between his fingers.~
