"I like hearing about the stories that make people who they are today. You are a beautiful collection of circumstances and decisions, and learning about you... your past, is both a privilege and a pleasure."

[miss-tina-susanne]

Kaynik opens up a present and finds Rombic necklace!

Kaynik glares.

You laugh.

You ask, "What's that do?"

Kaynik says, "I have one so please feel free."

Kaynik gives a Rombic necklace to you.

You say, "Oh. I've got one to trade you, but it's in my vault up north."

>l necklace The Rombic necklace is a special necklace that has been created with mystical orc cloves called rombics found in the mountain range near the orc nation of Marlosh. Only the special orcs of Clan Snorc can harvest these garlic like cloves and sell them to gnome scientists from Domplin who spend months creating the famous rombic necklace. The rombic necklace is fabled to make the wearer impervious to the seduction of the famous winter mistletoe.

You laugh.

You say loudly, "I DON'T WANT THIS IF IT MAKES ME IMMUNE TO YOUR KISSES."

Kaynik says, "Don't be a bozo."

You grin at Kaynik playfully.

Kaynik says, "It makes you immune to —'s kisses."

You blink.

Athenais hurriedly tugs the necklace on, looking panicked.

Kaynik says, "Yeah… lookin' pretty good now, isn't it."

You start wearing Rombic necklace.

You smooch Kaynik lovingly.

You say, "My hero."

You hold Kaynik.

Kaynik nuzzles you affectionately.

Athenais slips an arm around your own, snickering heartily, if tiredly, clearly happy to be back with you.

[miss-tina-susanne]

"I left before she could fart out a meteor, so the jury's still out on that."

Kaynik kisses you happily. Kaynik says, "HI."

You nuzzle Kaynik affectionately.

Athenais wraps her arms tightly around you, burying her face into your chest.

You whisper to Kaynik, "Hi. I missed you."

Kaynik whispers to you, "I missed you!"

Athenais lifts her head, smiling softly as she regards you with an inherent warmth and fondness.

Kaynik asks, "You gone to the south tree yet?"

You whisper to Kaynik, "Have you ever had a four-year-old sneeze fire into your eyes? That's how we found out my niece is magic. I'm exhausted and terrified, and I'm never going to see my sister again."

You say, "I did! But I'll come with you if you want to go."

You follow Kaynik.

Kaynik peers about.

Kaynik says, "Well, that's certainly a vacation."

You snicker.

You say, "I realize I didn't actually tell you why I took that vacation."

You say to Kaynik, "Ofelia's kid started showing signs of… you know. Being all magey. It started small. The cat's tail got singed. The fire growing hotter for no reason."

Athenais makes a face. "Aidoneus did not appreciate being near her at all."

Kaynik says, "Why is it always fire with you folks? Why is it never something cool? Like sneezing a meteor at someone."

Athenais laughs as she slips her hand into your own, squeezing tightly. "Alliette curse, I'm afraid. I left before she could fart out a meteor, so the jury's still out on that."

You say to Kaynik, "Anyway, she's the first one to exhibit magic since… well, me. So Ofelia got a little worried and asked me to come take a look, and… the kid is definitely a little spitfire. They have strict instructions to enroll her into a special school, and I'll check in on her from time to time, see that she's not… setting the cat on fire again."

[miss-tina-susanne]

"When I heard you threaten that fool on the kingdom mind, my first thought was terror… and then, 'okay, so I'm scared but also very turned on'."

Kaynik nuzzles you affectionately.

You say, "You know… I joke a lot about how your authoritarian side makes me feel a certain sort of way. And it does."

You nuzzle Kaynik affectionately.

You say, "But I also have a lot of respect for how zealously you protect your faith."

You say, "It's one of the things about you I love the most. And I thought you should know."

Kaynik kisses you.

Athenais presses a soft kiss to the back of your shoulder.

Kaynik says, "You sweet talker, you."

You laugh.

You say, "I like what I like! And gruff, threatening Kaynik is very sexy."

Kaynik grins, "The funny part is, I never actually usually have to do anything."

Athenais chuckles gently. "It's just an inherent part of you."

You say, "When I heard you threaten that fool on the kingdom mind, my first thought was terror… and then, 'okay, so I'm scared but also very turned on'."

You grin.

Kaynik laughs, "I do like that I can make you wet with only a few not-intended-to-be-sexy words."

Athenais hugs you tighter, laughing as she hooks a leg around your middle. "Yeah? You've got all this power over me, and you're not even doing anything beyond your personality."

Athenais leans in, nibbling your earlobe teasingly. "You should take all the advantage of it, and me."

[miss-tina-susanne]

"I just came here to kiss you."

Secretly: Kaynik nuzzles Athenais affectionately You tell Kaynik: Hey, you. To Kaynik, you send secretly: Athenais holds you gently. "We keep missing each other.. how are you?" Kaynik tells you : I fell asleep in the south forest, so, sore! To Kaynik, you send secretly: Athenais laughs softly. "You JUST missed Urushna talking about feeling all the feelings." You tell Kaynik: Want to come caravan? Hamad's running locals. Kaynik tells you: I'm chopping still You tell Kaynik: Aw. I'll probably go for the other two, but I'll come find you once we're finished?

Forest

   The leafy overheads seem to embrace you in a rush of velvety greenery. Your feet crunch down on crisp, dead leaves, echoing in the quiet, gentle serenity of this ecological haven. Here, you find it easy to lose yourself in humid peace of the forest, far away from the city's bustle. In fact, syncopating the idle drone of crickets, you can faintly hear the muffled thud of your own heartbeat.

   Obvious exits: west, east, south and north.

Kaynik (cutting down trees).

Athenais pads over to you, wrapping her arms around you in a gentle, fond embrace, before pressing a kiss to your lips.

Kaynik says loudly, "You could also van rather than stand here and do nothing."

You say, "I am. I just came here to kiss you."

You smooch Kaynik lovingly.

Kaynik laughs out loud.

Kaynik gives you a deep and passionate kiss, it seems to last forever.

You say, "And to tell you I love you."

You say, "I love you."

You say, "Now I go."

Kaynik exclaims, "I love you!"

You smooch Kaynik lovingly.

Kaynik tells you : be safe! You tell Kaynik exclaiming: No promises! Kaynik tells you : that's my girl To Kaynik, you send secretly: Athenais laughs

[miss-tina-susanne]

Kaynik's spirit seeks you and reports back your health.

To Kaynik, you send secretly: Athenais reports that she is perfectly healthy, but absolutely missing you, and so proffers a kiss. Secretly: Kaynik beams

[miss-tina-susanne]

Kaynik says, "I'm sorry."

Kaynik holds you.

Athenais tilts her head lightly, seemingly unconcerned as she pats you on the head. "What are you sorry for?"

Kaynik exclaims, "Being boring!"

Kaynik flails about.

You snort.

You say, "I'm not exactly a paragon of excitement myself."

Kaynik asks, "Sure you are. Have you seen your tits?"

You say, "Most days, as long as you pay me some attention and tell me you appreciate me, and that I'm pretty, I'm pretty self-sustaining. Like a cat."

[miss-tina-susanne]

"I can handle unpleasant truths, it's the wondering if I'm being played that I hate."

Athenais squints at you, her eyes narrowing playfully as she reaches for your hands, tugging them to her lips to nip at your fingertips. "How about we run a different experiment instead?"

Kaynik asks, "Yeah? What's that?"

Athenais bites her lip, holding your hands close against her chest for a moment as she appears to think. After a moment, she gazes up at you through her lashes, then suggests, with a little smile, "The experiment where I give you all the power, and admit that I love you." Her nose twitches a touch just then. "I'm in love with you. I'd like to experiment with letting my guard down, and with not biting back things I want to say or things I feel because they make me feel pathetic and weak. Perhaps we do this experiment instead."

Kaynik appraises you with a long gaze and then asks, "And what if I'm not ready to be that vulnerable yet?"

Athenais shrugs a shoulder, evidently having expected this already. "That's alright. But, I'd like to not walk into any unpleasant surprises, so I'd like to know if you want someone, or something else. Basically, just tell me, and don't let me walk into you and someone else. I can handle unpleasant truths, it's the wondering if I'm being played that I hate."

Kaynik eyes you.

Kaynik says, "I literally spend all my time with you."

Athenais rolls her eyes playfully. "— probably spent all his time with his ex wife, and look where that turned out."

Kaynik says, "Obviously not, if he found opportunities to put it in elsewhere."

Athenais pinches you lightly on the eartip. "I'm just saying, I don't want to be blindsided. I think that's a fair request."

Kaynik bites your nose, "It is, but you also pose it as if there's even a possibility for someone else to be present. Like a dork."

Kaynik flops on you.

Athenais considers you for a moment, her eyes narrowing briefly, then shakes her head with a quiet chuckle. "Sometimes, when people say things in a way to suggest they are more familiar or intimate with you than I realized, I immediately think I am going to be blindsided. So, my mind is a dark and scary place, and I am just trying to protect it so I don't..." She pauses. "Go mad."

Kaynik asks, "Does going mad include setting people on fire?"

Athenais's smile takes on a slightly more solemn quality, though she soon shakes her head, chuckling. "No," She affirms. "Myself, mostly."

Kaynik says, "Well, we can't have that."

You say, "Hence the asking to not be blindsided."

Kaynik kisses you gently, "there's no one or nothing else, other than my own walls."

[miss-tina-susanne]

"If you wanted to give me a lobotomy, an incense stick won't do."

Rooftop Bedroom

   Decorated in shades of forest green and sunshine yellow, this elegant bed chamber is light and airy even without the four windowed walls that transform the room into a looking glass into the outside world. Plush, thick curtains don each row of glass panels, allowing the room to be thrown into pitch darkness should its inhabitants wish. Perhaps the rooms most breathtaking feature is the ceiling that, much like the walls, is made up of panes of glass that allow one to lay in bed and look straight up to the sky, admiring the stars or simply basking in pure, natural light. A sequence of rods allows for similarly mounted curtains to be drawn across the room, the material thick enough to ensure that nothing shines through. The only interruption amidst all this glass is two thick, wooden doors that lead eastward, one into the bathing chamber and the other into a walk-in closet. Placed in the exact center of the room, a giant four-poster bed is affixed to the floor, decorated with thick drapery that allows an occupant to sleep in darkness while others enjoy the beautiful view. Along the north wall, a sliding door opens up onto a terrace, allowing one to step out onto the roof of the cottage and enjoy the fresh air. Underfoot, a thick and fluffy carpet stretches from wall to wall, only broken by a three-foot stretch of hardwood in front of the terrace door, acting as a buffer to avoid any moisture damage from outside.

   Obvious exits: wardrobe, down, terrace and bath.

Kaynik.

Athenais sits up rather abruptly, seemingly a little panicked as she glances around the space. Her eyes dart from corner to corner, then she tilts her head back to look up at the skylight, lifting a hand to press her knuckles into her eye sockets. After a few minutes' digging into her skin, she gulps down a breath, then lowers her gaze to you, brows briefly knitted together. A light, but fond kiss is then proffered upon your cheek, the woman careful to not disturb you, before she slips out of bed, silent in her departure.

Enclosed Narrow Bathroom

   The dimly-lit bathroom of this home is a tight and narrow space, barely large enough to serve its purpose. Despite the fact, it has evidently been well cared for, with white-painted walls and mirrors both serving to grant the illusion of it being wider than it really is. Dark-stained wood floors lie hidden beneath a fuchsia-and-gold carpet adorned in runes from the south, kept clean and devoid of dirt. A singular window sits flush in the centre of the eastern wall, allowing sun or moonlight to pervade the home; upon its sill, a neat line of salt and hematite pebbles no doubt serve some protective purpose. Spanning wall to wall beneath the window, a large copper tub provides the means with which to unwind, with toilet and sink taking up the northern and southern walls respectively. A wide, wood-framed mirror occupies the space above the sink, gleaming with the shine of a good polish. Little copper lanterns are strung overhead to form a dragon's constellation, wires and ropes criss-crossing the ceiling. By night, these provide ample light that casts warmth upon the space, rendering it almost romantic in nature.

   There is one obvious exit: west.

Athenais makes quick work ridding herself of her clothing, peeling off the layers as if struggling to rip the very flesh from her bones. Trembling hands find the faucet, and she turns on the water, muttering under her breath as she gathers her limbs into the tub. A quick hoist over the edge lands her into the water, allowing her to slowly sink beneath the surface, fingers clutching the edge of the tub as her eyes drift shut.

Secretly: Kaynik eyes Athenais. You tell Kaynik: Go back to sleep, dear one. Kaynik tells you: Me? It's so late for you, what could you possibly be running out of here panicked about? To Kaynik, you send secretly: Athenais lets out a quiet, sheepish little breath. "I'm sorry I woke you." A long, pregnant pause follows. "I.. had a dream, I guess. Don't worry about it, I don't want to bother you with it." She swallows. "Go back to sleep, I didn't mean to disturb your rest."

Athenais sits up, the water dripping down her bare form like a crimson waterfall as it brings her hair tumbling about her shoulders, chest, and abdomen. She stares into the distance for a while, blinking the droplets from her eyelashes, clutching the edge of the tub even harder as she barely forms the words, addressing no one in particular, "Please leave me alone. I'm trying to be better, here."

You begin chanting and a fire begins to materialize near the west! A massive wall of fire spreads out in front of the west!

Secretly: Kaynik eyes Athenais.

Athenais lets out a gasping sort of breath, her hands flying to her eyes as she hunches forward. Fingers splay open over her face, her chin dipping closer to the water's edge as sobs begin to rack her frame, pinpricks of gooseflesh adorning her skin. "You cannot fall apart, Tina." She curls her fingers into her skin, nails digging hard into her brow. "Please. Please don't fucking fall apart now."

The wall of flame vanishes, leaving only a scattering of ashes and a stench of burned sulphur on the air.

You begin chanting, eflam pluriba darcey! You raise your hands and a ring of fire surrounds you burning into your enemies! Athenais's ring of fire dissipates.

The wall of flame vanishes, leaving only a scattering of ashes and a stench of burned sulphur on the air.

Roleplay status is: hunched over her knees in the bathtub

Kaynik arrives from the west.

Kaynik says, "Hi, it's me, I'm Kaynik. I don't play silly games, so I'll be here until you wake up and want to discuss or not. We have a bathroom at home, you know."

Kaynik crawls in the bathtub with you.

Athenais gnashes her teeth together, her fingers pinching at the bridge of her nose as she curls further in on herself. "I'm not trying to play games, I told you to go back to sleep." Burrowing her face deeper into her knees, she swallows, evidently having been crying, then sinks deeper into the water, the entirety of her soaked head perhaps a sign that she had been underwater before. "Don't worry. This happens sometimes. I'm trying to deal with it myself, and I don't need you."

Kaynik says, "That's nice, but I'm all wet now."

Kaynik holds you.

Kaynik says, "No going back from my sudsy self."

Kaynik gestures around to the scene, "This part isn't the silly game. It's the 'I'm going to run out and away and pretend like it's nothing' that's the silly part."

Athenais lets out a half-groan, half-sob, her hands coming up to cover her face from you as she lowers herself even further, her breaths blowing bubbles in the water.

Kaynik sinks down with you, pressing a small kiss to your cheek before he murmurs, "Oh good idea," he also blows bubbles in the water.

Athenais lifts her head a bit, so that she can speak without swallowing water. "I'm not trying to get your attention, in case that's what you were wondering. You didn't need to come out here." She spits out some of the water afterwards, her eyes darting to a corner of the room, still unable to meet your gaze as she stares into said corner for a while, as if in an attempt to set it ablaze.

Kaynik's bubbles start to make a rhythm that sounds oddly like Patty Cake.

Enclosed Narrow Bathroom

   There is one obvious exit: west.

Kaynik (also squeezed into the tub).

Athenais swallows deeply, blinking hard for a few short moments, her fingers moving to clutch at the edge of the tub. "I see things, sometimes," She begins, quietly. "And that's when I come back here. It didn't start with you, and I don't need your help to manage it." She reaffirms that last part with an uncharacteristic sternness, as if attempting to reinforce the notion that she really, truly, is not asking for attention. "I'm not trying to be dramatic. I just sometimes have episodes that I don't know how to control, so I remove myself from the situation instead."

Kaynik says, "I know you don't need me to manage them, but if I'm not allowed to go to bed without you following me, you're certainly not allowed to wake up in a panic and run home without saying anything. I do not support double standards, ma'am."

Athenais's brow furrows a touch deeper, as if she had not considered that. After a moment, a quiet 'oh' escapes her, and she sinks into the water once again, until the waves barely touch the bottom of her eyes.

Kaynik blows bubbles directly on your nose.

Athenais's eyes flick to a corner of the room, but she is almost immediately distracted by the bubbles, water splashing as she straightens a bit to sneeze.

Athenais pinches her nose together thereafter, her slightly puffy eyes finally coming up to meet yours. Her voice shaky, but somewhat matter-of-fact, she remarks, "I see my father and baby brother all the time. Only I can't be, they're dead. So if I am not being haunted by ghosts, I am going insane, and when I go insane, I come back home. It usually happens when you're asleep."

You say, "That's about the extent of what I've figured out. It's also what keeps me away from town for extended periods of time. I just.."

Athenais laughs dryly. "Go insane all by myself in various places."

Kaynik holds you tightly, pressing a gentle kiss to your brow, "You realize you've told me about this already, right? Meaning, even more so, that it's not something you need to hide from me?"

In spite of herself, Athenais allows herself to sink into you, evidently having exhausted herself for the time being. Her arms come up to wrap about your middle, trusting you to bear her weight for the brief duration. "I just don't want to get any of my sad on you," She murmurs quietly. "You're so... relaxed. I can't read your mind, so I can't tell where I stand with you, and when I can't tell where I stand with someone, it's just easier to not get any more of the crazy on them. I'm not running away, I just don't know how to deal with it sometimes."

Kaynik looks down at the water, "Well, is that why you ran a bath? To wash the sad off?"

Athenais glances down at her hands. "A bit. But also because it's harder to accidentally set the house on fire when you're underwater."

Kaynik says, "Babe, you're a mage... this tub ain't shit."

Kaynik nuzzles you affectionately.

Athenais lets out an unexpected laugh at that. "Are you insinuating that my tub will not contain my crazy? It does, usually."

Kaynik says, "I'm saying that, if you were gonna set something on fire, this tub would not stop you."

Kaynik nuzzles you affectionately.

Athenais chuckles dryly, leaning into you, evidently having calmed down a touch. "It would not. It would, in fact, boil me alive, considering it is copper. But that's smart. Next time I'll go jump into Lohtsurn lake, hm? Boil fish instead."

Kaynik says, "Boiled fish is the better option."

Kaynik says, "Also, I doubt the fire would stay in the tub, so, I don't think you'd be boiled either..."

Athenais blinks blearily at you, as if attempting to brain the logic. "Yes, but the fire comes from me. And if I'm in the water, then it is contained. Unless you're expecting a much bigger explosion." She lifts a hand, idly rubbing at the bridge of her nose. "I'm sorry I dragged you into this, by the by..."

Kaynik says, "Yes, much better, you did say the house, after all."

Kaynik says, "Bigger, rather."

Athenais shrugs a shoulder thereafter, seemingly content to hide out in her bathtub. "It's worked so far. Though..." She glances up, looking towards the door, where signs of fire are etched into the wooden frame. "...maybe the lake is a better idea."

Kaynik eyes the burn marks, then you... "C'mon, you must have only threw a candle or something."

Athenais bites her lip, cheeks pinking just a touch as a hint of sheepishness creeps into her tone. "Sure. A candle. Yeah, that was it."

Athenais lets out a low, long sigh, then glances up at you, gingerly steeling herself as if to get out of the water. "Shall we head to bed? I feel bad enough that you came all the way out here, and turning you into a prune is the last thing I want to do."

Kaynik splashes you emphatically.

Kaynik banishes you!

Second Floor Bedroom

   Further up into the narrow abode, the sounds of the streets are better muted, lending an air of well-curated serenity to the space. Dark wood floors and gentle sun-blue walls adorn the space, the perfect remedy for worn and weary spirits. For all intents and purposes, the space appears to be the home's designated bedroom, a detail affirmed by the rosewood four-poster bed that sits pressed against the northern wall; rumpled white bedding and a wealth of pillows hint at residents who enjoy their time in bed, whilst two mismatched bedside tables bear aloft a combination of neatly-stacked books, tumblers of whiskey and grog, flower tea, and black coffee. A chest-of-drawers occupies the southern wall beside a well-tended fireplace, while an accompanying standing mirror is relegated to a corner, reflecting the expanse of the space. While wrought iron candle stands give light at night, a singular window in the western wall provides a view of the streets below. A thousand delicate crystals hang from the rafters above: uneven slivers of amber, fire agate, malachite, obsidian, and selenite in various sizes swirl gently in the wind, chiming softly as they clink off one another to play a haunting, and yet soothing melody reminiscent of bells in faraway monasteries.

   Obvious exits: down, up and east.

Kaynik arrives from the east.

Kaynik hipbumps you into bed and hops on you.

Athenais lets out a tired little sigh, wrapping her arms around you and burying her face into your chest for the duration. A brief moment later, she lifts her head, looking up into your eyes, then utters, sounding a little embarrassed, "I am a mess. I'm sorry. You can walk away, if you want."

Kaynik begins to insert in incense stick into your nose.

Athenais lets out a sharp yelp, swatting it away with very little fervour, but simply stares at you thereafter.

Kaynik says, "Deserved it."

Athenais cannot help but chuckle, a touch of resignation in her tone. In spite of that, there are hints of humor in her voice as she remarks, dryly, "If you wanted to give me a lobotomy, an incense stick won't do."

Kaynik flops on you.

Athenais snuggles into the pillows, but takes a moment to press a gentle kiss to your lips.

[miss-tina-susanne]

Two couples and a Drayax

Plus shenanigans

You smooch Kaynik lovingly. You whisper to Kaynik, "Be careful. Love you."

Kaynik whispers to you, "Love you!" Kaynik gets a Traveler staff from the large scabbard {Traveler staff}. Kaynik wields Traveler staff.

Anjelle makes kissy noises.

Kaynik says, "Good point." Kaynik kisses you happily.

Anjelle asks to Hrung, "Anything I can do for you before I disappear?"

Athenais smiles happily, squeezing Kaynik around the middle.

-

You ask, "May I have a halo, please?"

Celyn looks at you. Celyn says, "You are halo'd."

You peer about.

Kaynik eyes you.

You say, "I'm also blind, apparently."

Sindra says, "She couldn't be more holy."

Kaynik says, "Fucking same."

Sindra covers her mouth with one hand to hide a smile.

You hold Kaynik. You say to Kaynik, "I love you anyway."

Celyn snickers.

Athenais shuffles around from foot to foot.

Secretly: Sindra melts. To Sindra, you send secretly: Athenais sniffs.

-

Sindra says to Kaynik, "It's good for you to engage in some nonsense now and again."

You say to Sindra, "He's literally in a Father Wintermas outfit, though."

You tell Sindra: And he wandered around town with his ass out all day.

Kaynik says, "It's not. Never has been. Nonsense is for the nonsensical and we're adults now."

Celyn holds Sindra.

Sindra says to Athenais, "Somehow he makes it look serious, like it's just his daily attire."

Celyn looks at Kaynik.

Kaynik nods.

Secretly: Sindra rolls on the floor laughing

You chuckle.

Celyn says, "Nice beard."

Kaynik tugs his beard respectfully.

Sindra says to Kaynik, "I hear you wore another interesting outfit recently." Sindra smiles sweetly.

You bite your lip.

Celyn peers about.

Secretly: Sindra sells you out, laughing all the while. You tell Sindra: Don't forget the time he was Father Winter Massacre. Sindra tells you: Imagine if he was a nude Father Winter Massacre. Like with the hair and the eyes and the beard, but otherwise nude. You tell Sindra: I'd still ride that. Secretly: Sindra rolls on the floor laughing You tell Sindra: They don't call me Mrs Ho for nothing. Sindra tells you: I was going to say, you'd either find it hilarious or erotic, Mrs. Ho.

-

Kaynik points a finger at you and sends power into you. Kaynik points a finger at you and sends power into you.

You begin chanting…magnus powligmus… You smooch Kaynik lovingly.

Kaynik nuzzles you affectionately.

You say, "A brain-healing kiss." You touch Kaynik and send power into him. Athenais looks pleased with herself.

Secretly: Sindra screams about cuteness.

-

Sindra says, "We could get Athenais a rod of fire. I know it's not that good, but it's the principle of the thing…"

Kaynik says, "A rod of fire? Please never use a rod of fire."

Celyn says, "Witch doctor first then."

Kaynik says, "It's the worst weapon ever."

Sindra says to Kaynik, "It LOOKS appropriate, so she can just hold it."

You say, "I am a walking rod of fire."

Kaynik says, "I'd rather use a toy dagger."

Celyn bites his lip.

Sindra says to Kaynik, "Not everything is about efficiency, Kaynik."

Kaynik says, "She has whips! It's all she ever wants." Kaynik grins.

Sindra huffs delicately at Kaynik.

Celyn says, "M-Maybe it's gotten better."

-

Sindra glares at Kaynik. Sindra gives Kaynik a dainty, dirty look.

You laugh.

Kaynik exclaims, "Glare all you want. She gets only the best and that's far from it!" Kaynik holds you.

Sindra puts a Black leather in Backpack. Sindra gets a Silver robe from the Southern Grasslands - Hut. Sindra exclaims, "Immigrants!"

Athenais leans into Kaynik's embrace, casting a sheepish look Sindra-wards.

-

Kaynik exclaims, "Shields and shit!" Kaynik eyes you. Kaynik says to Sindra, "It's a good thing she's cute."

You agree.

Sindra says to Kaynik, "She was born that way." Sindra stares in admiration.

Kaynik laughs out loud.

You say to Sindra, "It's a good thing I trust him to keep me alive."

Kaynik exclaims, "To death!"

Sindra says, "Poor big mole." Sindra grins at you gently.

You grin.

[miss-tina-susanne]

Kaynik says, "Good point, we should go kill the lion king." Kaynik nods.

Drayax says, "Yes."

You ask, "Isn't he surrounded by lionesses?"

Sindra nods at you seriously.

You ask, "And aren't they the un-fun cats?"

Sindra says, "The ladies are the scary ones."

You bite your lip.

Celyn hmms.

Kaynik says to Athenais, "So here's how it works."

You whisper to Sindra, "We are scary, especially when we whisper to one another."

Celyn says, "Big lion king is pretty scary."

Athenais listens to Kaynik intently.

Sindra whispers to you, "You and I are a lioness pack." Sindra says, "He's very mocha."

You agree.

Kaynik says, "You climb this big rock, and fight your way through lionesses all the way up. Then you jump across a gap, and fight the king, who summons more lionesses and will throw you off the rock at times. So, you need to climb back up, fighting any lionesses that have returned, only to enter and be punished and continue the fight."

You bite your lip.

Sindra says, "It sounds like a great Tuesday night."

Celyn says, "That's why you pine sap yourself in place."

You ask to Kaynik, "Is there any special reason one might want to slay this lion king, or is it just for bragging rights?"

Sindra admires Celyn.

Celyn exclaims, "Death or glory!"

Sindra says to Celyn, "I really enjoy the way your brain works."

Kaynik says, "Last time I fought him, I was soloing the guy and his queens for way too long before I realized I was alone and should probably leave."

You laugh. You say to Kaynik, "You... have a way of doing that." Athenais nods understandingly.

Kaynik says to Athenais, "He drops his claws, which people wear on their hands."

Celyn says, "Can skin em too."

You hmm.

Kaynik says, "And you can lash out with them."

You say, "I guess he'd make a nice rug, but.."

Sindra wiggles her fingers at Athenais. "I'd look good in lion claws."

You agree with Sindra. You say to Sindra, "You'd be the best cat lady."

Sindra tells you exclaiming: MEOWOWOWOWOW. GO MEOW! GO MEOW!

Kaynik grins. Kaynik looks at you. Kaynik whispers to you, "You're extra pretty, you know."

Athenais's lips curl into a warm, fond smile. You whisper to Kaynik, "Yeah?"

Kaynik lays warm, healing hands on your forearms. Kaynik nods.

Optional roleplay status:  her haze of crimson hair tumbles lazily over her shoulders, whilst her hands and forearms are raw and pink, as if recently healed from burns

Athenais's watches as you work, her gaze softening, clearly touched. A soft exhale follows, in which she shivers slightly, then she curls up closer, pressing a tender kiss to your lips.

Kaynik smooches you lovingly.

You whisper to Kaynik, "I love you."

Kaynik whispers to you, "I love you, too."

Optional roleplay status is: a crimson haze of hair tumbles unbound over her shoulders

Athenais blinks gently at you, the corner of her lip twitching slightly. Then, the smile spreads proper, and she swallows, nuzzling closer and burying her face into the side of your neck.

Whale, whale, whale, what have we here?

Norden Sea - Eastern Ocean

The waves are high here, sometimes reaching ten feet as the waves of the ocean move and sometimes curl. The depth of the sea is unfathomable as the water is a deep blue and the sea is rough from the wind and environment. Whitecaps are frequent and calm weather an irregular blessing.

The depth of the ocean creates great swells giving the sea the look of moving hills.

Obvious exits: north, south, west and east.

Grey whale. Killer whale.

You say, "These ones are obviously dating."

Kaynik says, "Good, they can die together."

You say, "The grey one is a princess, whose father dislikes the killer one. But she." You say, "Is determined to have him." You ask, "See how valiantly he attempts to protect her?" You grin.

Kaynik says, "And he can suck my giant arrow." Kaynik says, "She's already dead."

You laugh.

Kaynik hums a merry tune.

You say, "Well, now he's super pissed." You ask, "How would you like it if someone came right up to us, shot me dead, and made you watch?"

Kaynik says, "Well, they're about to shoot me too, so it works out."
