Jebus rice Colin! Learn to take a joke!

Alliene tilted her head and watched the abomination follow the half-drow out, then returned to her food, stabbing her fork into her salad wrathfully. Verloren, meanwhile, looked around and caught sight of Khalraan behind the door. She beckoned to him with a soft smile,
"Come, young elf, theres no one in here who will harm you,"
"Verloren," Alliene nudged her, switching to drow, "Must that thing come with us? His very sight fills me with rage,"
Verloren gave her sister a look, "He has sworn to protect me," she said pointedly, "That is more than enough reason for him to come,"
Alliene bristled, "You have Avalon and I, what other protection could you need?," Avalon snorted agreement on Verloren's other side.
Verloren stood and glared at Alliene, "I'll have none of this," she hissed in drow, "He is my friend, even if he is not yours,"
Alliene stiffened, then dropped her eyes and stared moodly at her food. Sighing Verloren sat back down, picked up her fork, then blinked suddenly,
"Vorian? Come over here dear, you promised to be my food tester," she grinned at him.

lol, you tell him LB!

IC-Kaltia grinned abruptly and caught Cal in a quick hug. "I missed you. Can you update me? Who is this Khal? Why did Natha die? Where did Tyra and her smaller sister come from?" her eyes sparkled as she fired off question after question at her lover.

How about both of you stay off my back? [img]graemlins/firedevil.gif[/img] And I think "lover" may be the wrong phrase Kyra. [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img] Cal hasn't actually bedded the half-drow yet, therefore, he cannot be her lover; nor shall he.

Calaethis sighed. "Natha, I slew. As a tratior, son of the drow we were sent to slay..." he paused, "Khalraan is a dirty little perverted thief - who shall come to harm if he touches my slaves ever again." Calaethis shrugged off her embrace, and walked over to the window. "Tyra and Sylquis... are elves I 'liberated' from the underdark. They've accepted me as their guardian, protector, and master - and they're my slaves." he paused again "If you want a summary of events, ask Alliene." he spat the word, and his eyes blazed. "Is that all?" he asked, his tone harsh. "I think I've had enough of this audience already." he suddenly grinned; but it was a grim, evil sneer, and continued, "I think I'll request to take my leave from Veloran... and that drow, that once called me cousin." Within a single heartbeat, he changed to his draconic form, knowing full well the rage it would cause Alliene when she saw him wearing it. "Farewell, Kaltia." he murmered grimly, wincing at his sudden change. With that, he strode from the room, the door banging after him. He walked down to where the others were, and resumed his seat, he shot a glance at the half-aqua and asked, with a hissing accent, "A word with you please, Lady Veloran?" he waited calmly for her reply, ignoring everyone else.

Verloren rose to her feet as Calaethis entered, eyes narrowed suspiciously. He should know what being in that form around Avalon and Alliene would do. Perhaps thats why he did it. She glanced at Avalon, who was refusing to look anywhere but forward, the veins on his neck and arms popping. A glance at her black skinned sister revealed something quite different. Alliene remained sitting, her whole body shaking with barely supressed rage, her cold dead eyes staring death at the young elf. Nizzre was already half out of its sheath, Alliene's trembling hand hardly able to control it. A low growl rumbled in her chest, and Verloren knew the longer she waited, eventually Alliene would lose control of her will. Frowning, she shoved Calaethis roughly through the archway and rounded on him with red-tinged eyes.

"What was the meaning of that?" she snapped at him, "How dare you approach my sister and love in that form! And the fact it was purposley done to anger them angers me as well." she crossed her arms firmly beneath her breasts and stared up at him, "Well? What did you wish to speak about?"

[Calaethis Dragonsbane]

Calaethis's eyes looked at Verloren in surprise, then anger. "I will wear any form I wish!" the young elf's voice was heated, and his eyes blazed. "Purposely?" Calaethis's tone was cold, "I have no idea what you are talking about, Lady Verloren. As it is, I came to inform you that I shall take my leave of your... company. My being here... is not wise, and I neve should have returned... the drow in the other room, she would slay me without a second thought. Or try to." Calaethis turned away, and continued, his voice soft. "I shall leave, and you shall not see me within your lifetime... Tyra and Sylquis... provide for them? Please? I would not have them accompany me into self exile... no, better that they stay here.. at least they'd be safe here... I... farewell Verloren." his tone was full of self loathing, and self hatred. Verloren should stop him from leaving...

Verloren's eyes widened in shock, then her jaw set firmly,
"You watch your tone with me, young one. You are in my house, therefore you will follow my rules, as I would do the same if I were at your home," her chest puffed out, "I know that you know how your little dragon form enrages my sister, and I caught that look you shot her. Don't provoke her, do you hear me? I see right through all these omissions you leave out of your words." she grabbed his shoulders and wrenched him around to face her, "Look at me! Self-exile is for faithless cowards, and I'll be damned before I let you disgrace yourself that way! You have women to care for, and that you would put yourself before them in an act like this is dispicable, and I'm not just talking about your elves in there," her eyes glittered, "You aren't going to leave. Don't you understand?" she remembered what her sister had told her a few days ago, "My survival depends on you." she whispered, then lowered her eyes. Even her sister had shunned what her own Goddess said, and that scared her.

ooc- okay, since I'm tired of having to write this so much, I'm just gonna cut and paste from the Bar:

*phew* unfortunately I was detained due to a month of grounding, so it'll take me awhile to get the knack of writing again. don't bother asking why I was grounded, I'm still a little bewildered myself. My Dad was just in a grounding streak I guess... Imagine someone wandering about your house and pointing at people shouting "Your grounded too!" *shakes head, confused*

*coughs* almost scared to ask... *winces* so.. how much have i missed? are my characters still alive? ^^;;; *hides*
edit- sorry, read back and i guess this thread sorta died cuz of me (not Cal! I take the blame! [img]graemlins/sadcrying4.gif[/img] ) are we still going with the whole Lyulfe/Skye plot, or have we dropped that? if we are, I'll cook up a good post and try and regain what little rp skills i have [img]smile.gif[/img]

Shadow awoke and looked around wondering how long he slept for, noticing no-one around he wandered out to look around.

OOC: Hey guys, long time no post [img]smile.gif[/img] has much happened?

[Lady Blue03]

ooc-yes skye, we're still doing your plot idea, so start it when ur ready. Calaethis is having comp problems, so we really can't get started again till he fixes it.
Oy Brenden! How I've missed you! *huggles him* poor Zachana has been out of plot for so long . And BTW, they're still outside the swamp near her cave

Zachana sat cross-legged next to her dozing elf, her long hair covering her body completely. She grinned cheerily and tweaked his ear gently when he woke,
"Morrow, little elf. I had a motive when I brought you here, but my lady is needing us back at Amn, so I will bring you back some other time." She leaned down and kissed his cheek before standing up, ready to shift forms, "Come, srrak, we've a bit of a flight ahead."

[shadowhound]

Shadow yawns, "flying... why do i always end up flying"
Cursing himself for missing the "motice" she had planned for him he gets ready for the flight.

OOC: Jumping on me and hugging hey? If only I always got that reaction... maybe I should stay away more often [img]smile.gif[/img]
