Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Faunt and Icy thaw out since she has returned. *

REPOST:
**The emotions of empathy flows through him as Icy holds him tighter. He knows she cares for him. Care, love, kindness, emotions that seemed so distant and foreign begins to comes back to him like an old friend.** Yes it is... I think. I went up there my first night after asking the tree for it permission to reside in its branches. It was like the tree really heard him for it made a nest for him to sleep in. When I awoke the nest was covered in ice. The ice melted the tree was normal again. The second night The tree already had the nest made and frozen. As I entered it it made a shell cocooning me inside. I felt safe and at home. The third night it did the same thing but when I awoke the whole tree top was encased in ice. It, the tree, took some of my ice powers and made me a home to stay. So I guess in a way it was my doing and in a way it wasn't.

*He nods as he takes her hand in his and leads her outside. He walks to the frozen tree and circles it.* I do not see her here.

Hmmmm.....she's not wanderer.....do you believe she sensed something? Maybe a being from your world?

*starts pacing back and forth in front of the tree, trying to figure Faunt and his crew out. With the fact that he's from another world, as the dark elves inhabited here, she knows nothing about them. His first impression was killer Icy thinks to herself as she glances at him looking about the ice tree for any signs of Crys. And his second and third were on point as well. But looks, mannerisms, and chivalry aren't the sum of this person. Is he a good person? Does he mean this world harm or is he indeed here on good will? Was he honest about his cryptic answer for his existent/non-existent enemies? Was Crys kidnapped to bring him out of hiding? And if so, why not take care of him if they got to Crys so easily. With all these questions flooding her mind, Icy shakes her head and grits her teeth. No! I refuse to believe that about him. Why would he lie? Who are we to him for him to feel that he needs to lie to us? I said I would help him, and I mean to. Stopping back in front of Faunt, Icy looks at him*

Alright. Now that we see she nor your satchel are here, how do you want to proceed?

*Unsure about what went on in Icys thoughts as she paces, he hears a thud coming from the tree. Faunt looks up to see a faint blue light glowing by one of the windows in the tree.* What is that?

((you want training to get better at RP? I can go on with these post but i am cutting them short to give you more of a chance to Rp with it))

*Faunt place a hand on the tree and the frozen tree top splits open like a lotus bloom and folds down. As a gap appears in the wall and small blue light flys out and up with a floating bag following it. *Hey! Thats my Satchel! *Staring longer at the flying things he notices that Crys is chasing Neve and the bag is on Crys neck.* Neve! Crys! Down here now! *Both of them stops in mid-air as the bag continues to move forward off of Crys neck. Cry screams as she try to fly after it. *Oh s**t! Move Icy! *He gently nudges Icy away, not to knock her off her feet as he try to position himself under the falling bag. *Oh No! Oh No! Crys, Neve Stop right there.* Neve stopped on a dime as Crys tries to slow down. Faunt Catches the bag and immediately encases him self in a ball of Ice. A loud boom is her from the inside the ball. After a few minutes the ball shatters as the air fills with smoke from is side the ball and Faunt is on his knees holding Crys. She couldn't stop in time. The satchel is ripped open and to his side. Everything is in one piece but Crys isn't moving. *No... *He shakes his head. *No! NO! Please Zaphkiel No! *Faunt screams as he holds what appears to be a lifeless Crys.*

*watches as Faunt climbs back into his tree and then calls out to Icy* hey...are you ok? want to talk about it? *offers her a drink*

*watching in awe, Faunt touches the tree and it unimaginably opens up, like an ice flower blooming. Not believing what she's seeing, Icy automatically steps closer, wanting to reach out and touch this amazing creation before her. As she steps closer, she hears Faunt yelling for her to move and is immediately pushed to the side, firmly but gently, and watches as Faunt places himself under the falling satchel and Crys. As he catches the satchel, he immediately surrounds him and the satchel in ice, and to Icys horror, Crys lands smack dab into the block of ice Faunt is encased in. With a shriek, Icy looks at the scene, unable to move. OMG! What the hell just happened? Why did he encase himself in ice with Crys barreling at him like that? Is she alright? As soon as Icy wills her limbs to move, Faunt has broken through the ice block and picks Crys up, crying and wailing for her to come back. Mortified, Icy doesn't know whether to go to his side or go for help. As she turns to go inside to call someone, anyone, she hears Crys' voice and is utterly relieved. As she watches the scene before her, she notices that Faunts tears aren't freezing this time. They're...liquid. Astonished, Icy begins to ask if everything is alright and a few more questions at hand, but Faunt surprises her with a warm kiss to the cheek, thanking her for her help, even though all she did was gawk and yell and freeze up. Lightly touching the cheek he kissed, Icy watches as Faunt goes into his ice treehouse and turns in for the night. His lips were so, so....warm. Yet, his breath cool and comforting. Lost in her musings and the surprising warmth of Faunts kiss still in the foremost of her mind, she's brought back to reality by a voice calling to her. She turns around and sees another stranger that has happened across the bar and sheepishly smiles at him*

redface OH! Uh, yes, a drink would most definitely be good right about now. sweatdrop

*turns and goes into the bar, turning to look at the georgous ice tree one last time before closing the door*
