Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Her mind broke lose in a whirling of things half remembered. Then images of he with the other Elf...* But you have another, I break up no coupling. *Waves of pain* Knowingly.

*Looking in his eyes and hearing the rest of his words, tried to turn away, but is unable to free from Exors firm, gentle hold, knowing her glasses at least hide the pain*

Because I am naubol, nau uss. If you once knew me, then maybe you knew a different me. How could you love me? Wh-who are you? vel'bol tlun usstan? How do these words i know yet dont"

*Small different voice* beware of the black, he watches if anyone gets too near.

I have another...? "Alyraena! You know Rae, Iggies! She and I served together in the War! You know that! She's been acting different lately, but that's just because she thought I was dead, just like all of you did! And about this nobody business," he took her dark glasses and looked into her eyes, "you are the dark elf I fell in love with a decade ago! You are some one, some one very special, at least to one man..."

Exor paused for a moment to collect his thoughts and choose his words. "I know the real you, Iggies. I know what has happened to you, my love. I know what has caused this, and I swear before all creation that I will attone for what my Sins have wrought. I will free you, ssinssrigg, if I have to do it myself..." He saw her try to find a way around his words and cut her off with a kiss. His lips lingered against hers, and Exor could not prevent the tears that came with the professing of his heart. "I won't let them have you, my love," he whispered. "To hell with the black and whatever else the Sins sent to you, my dear; I will not let them hurt you again..."

((LOL you're going to get caught you silly Kitsune! She wandered away from there. But I don't know the lay of the land.))

Upon sensing the shift in ambient spiritual climate, he closed his eyes and held Iggies tightly. He began the same chanting that had brought Sloth to his bedside, and wings of flame unfolded from his back, a ring of rising fire gently circling the two doomed lovers.

The blackness went totally silent, its link to its dark masters completely severed by the warrior's skills. "I told you, my love... I won't let them hurt you again..." He looked into her eyes with a gentle smile.

((LOL ok take care Iggies *grabs your booty on the way out*))

*Having had left the main bar rather late the previous night, Showcase had already gone to bed by the time she returned to her quarters. Putting away the food Karrie had prepared, she retired to her bedroom for the night.*

*In the morning, she spent time researching different kinds of sake and checking availabilities from suppliers in the area. Once Showcase woke up, she reheated the food from the previous night for their lunch. After spending the afternoon on the couch watching movies, she decides to make dinner for the two of them before heading up to the main bar for the evening. Deciding on quick and simple, she makes shrimp scampi and baked potatoes, and a quick garden salad to go with dinner.*

*After finishing dinner with Showcase, she cleans up the kitchen and then goes to her bedroom to change before heading up to the main bar.*

((Somebody's a dark elf lover... Hehehe... ))
