--- LUDE START TYPE THINGY! --- >> The Alent's Light pitches gently in the water as it makes it's way back to shore, the occupants rather silent and lost in thought. Erellisae pads quietly down towards the sleeping quarters, searching the odd room for any sign of the huntress. * Erellisae knocks on the cabin door quietly, pushing it open a little ways. "... sis? You in here?" * Feray is curled onto her side on a lower bunk, facing the wall, sort of in an almost fetal position...her voice is soft, low. "Yeah." * Erellisae slips inside, closing the door gently behind her and leaning against it momentarily, before starting to step towards Feray quietly. * Feray doesn't move besides hunkering closer to the wall and she makes a low sound in her throat, almost like a plaintive growl. * Erellisae sits on the bunk next to Feray, sighing slightly before leaning over and laying next to Feray, trying to squirm around to meet her gaze. * Feray furrows her brow and breaks her glare at the wall to shift slightly, looking at Erel with a darkly amused look. "What the heck are you -doing-?" Gotcha! * Erellisae pounces on Feray with a triumphant cry, hugging her. ^^ * Feray wideyes and jerks a little in surprise, thwacking her head onto the wall! She bursts out into a laugh despite that and rubs the back of her head, hugging Erel with one arm. "...ow." * Erellisae winces in sympathy and looks a bit sheepish. "Uhm... sorry. Just wanted to get you away from the wall for a hug, didn't mean to concuss you..." ^^; * Feray utters a low throaty chuckle and then goes quiet, gazing down at the rough bunk pillow, not wanting to meet Erel's gaze. * Erellisae sighs faintly, resting her head on Feray's shoulder and making a disgruntled noise. "... Emmitt really messed us all up today, huh..." * Feray tenses at the mention of her ex and Erellisae can feel the muscles in the huntress' arm quiver as if she's repressing reaching out to slug something....she relaxes herself after a minute and utters a disgusted noise. "...yeah. I sure can pick 'em." * Erellisae waggles a finger at Feray, smiling a little wryly. "I think that was more him picking us, that time." * Feray raises her eyes and gazes at Erellisae firmly. "It's my fault he was even there." * Erellisae hums, and stares off into the distance. "... you sure? I mean... he decided to pick me first for his 'special treatment'... ugh..." * Feray shakes her head a bit and smiles a little wryly. "But he freaked out when he got me." * Erellisae nods faintly, shrugging slightly. "True... but c'mon, none of us expected him to actually get up there. None of us thought he'd do that to all of us." ^^; ...I did. Ugh. Gods, Erel...I know what he's capable of. Hell, I heard the stories about Emmitt the Bard before I even fell for him....and yet fall I did. And now that he's back again....instead of doing something about him, I just figured he'd go away.. * Feray utters an annoyed growl and shifts a little. * Erellisae looks rather lost for something to say, her mouth opening and closing a little before she shakes her head. "... still, though... it'll be okay. I'm sure together we can knock some sense into him." She shudders slightly, touching her lips. "Preferably a /lot/ of sense. Very hard sense." * Feray mutters something, a dark look that Erel has never seen flitting across her features....the mage girl catches 'kill' before Feray unhooks her arm from around the small waist and proceeds to flop over, staring at the wall. * Erellisae watches Feray for a moment, before hugging Feray from behind, speaking quietly. "... d'you think you would, in the end?" * Feray sighs sadly now and leans back into the smaller woman, closing her eyes... "....I don't know....I think that if I had it in me to actually kill someone...not for self defense, but just out of rage and hate.... he would be the person I'd most likely be killing.....he's hurt you and Mitsuo and Nate and..." * Erellisae nods slowly. "... you saw the white magic around me, yeah?" I did.... I... was so angry at him, and suddenly it was like... like I was /connected/ to something. Like I could throw spell after spell, never run out, all because of that anger... it... kinda scares me, but I know what you mean... * Feray is quiet for a moment.. "That's why I have to do it. If ever. I couldn't let you....I mean.....there are consequences...and....you're very imp--...well... I mean....spirits, it's my spilt milk, I should mop it up." * Erellisae shakes her head forcefully. "I want to be there. Not... y'know, but... we're sisters. Consequences or not, I'll be with you." * Erellisae grins faintly, trying to cheer up a little. "We're a team. You hit things and I throw spells and occasionally hit things much worse than you can." ^^; * Feray reaches up to rest her hand lightly on Erel's linked arms...she utters a low snort of amusement....before shaking her head. "I just want you to know that I'm sorry..." * Erellisae takes Feray's hand in hers, the huntress' hard somewhat dwarfing hers as she smiles a little. "So'm I... I remember chanting at you, raging at everyone... but... like Mitsuo said, it wasn't /us/." * Feray relaxes a bit more.. "I know....I just still feel like this is my mess and you're just getting drawn into it, you know?" Her tone lightens just slightly... "Don't want to ruin things with you and your butterfly, after all..." * Erellisae giggles, blushing slightly and looking down. "Uhm, well, last I kissed Mitsuo was right after the first big deal with Emmitt. I'd hate to think I owe that to him." ^^; "Besides... family help each other out, right? It's /our/ mess. And I still get first crack at Emmitt, I called dibs." ^^; * Feray arches an eyebrow and idly looks down at her hand covering Erel's. She proceeds to loosen her grip and tug lightly at the smaller girl's fingers as she talks. "Hmph. Oh sure. Nevermind that he's seen me completely naked, among other things." * Erellisae grins a little, her fang biting into her lip. "Hey, c'mon, I called it before anyone! First dibs and all!" ^_~ * Feray snickers a little and shakes her head...she pauses, her hand stilling. She goes back to lightly holding it, her tone drifting into seriousness... .....aside from Emmitt. ...are you okay? * Erellisae blinks looking faintly undecided, before smiling wanly and hanging her head. "Caught me. I'm just... trying to take it all in. I mean... I spoke with /Liete/. And not my happy-oh-wow-you're-a-hero way." ^^; * Feray releases Erel's hand to turn, squirming herself lower onto the bed so she's eye to eye with the girl, leaning on her side... "Yeah. I know. I figured....do you wanna talk some about it?" * Erellisae rubs her neck, looking sheepish. "I... dunno. I don't even know how to describe it... I... that island seemed so strange but so familiar..." * Feray nods a bit and chews her bottom lip before speaking. "There are legends that speak of a person's self living more than one lifetime....if that's true, then maybe it felt that way because your energy has been there before....but -you- haven't.....or maybe you just got hit on the head a lot as a kid and don't remember." * Feray says the last bit with a wry grin. * Erellisae giggles faintly. "Ah yes, of course. Who knows how many times little Erel tripped over her long dress or fell out of a tree." ^^; * Erellisae shrugs a little helplessly, shaking her head. "I don't know... maybe I remember Tressallna from when I was a baby, and I'm remembering that... but..." * Feray reaches out to lazily drape an arm over Erel in a loose hug, smiling for real for the first time since before Emmitt struck..... "You do know that no matter what, you're gonna have a lanky half naked huntress dragging you around until you find what you're looking for. We're gonna find your roots, sis, no matter what it takes." * Erellisae looks up with a nod, before hugging Feray tightly. "I know... you have /no/ idea how thankful I am...", she murmurs, before pulling away and letting out a long breath, smiling wistfully. "... and I have a name, now, and a direction. Weeks to the southwest... and a transmitter to the west. We can /find/ it now..." * Erellisae sounds slightly wondering at that fact. ^^; * Feray chuckles lowly. "We can. We will. Promise. I'll even whip Jake to make him sail this barge faster." She motions a bit with her hand, grinning maniacally now. * Erellisae blinks at Feray, before giggling. "I don't think Cassidy would like that very much. Or Jake, for that matter." I dunno... I think Jake has a wild side to him.. ^_- I think I may have to whack him a few times to stop Cassidy from getting some nasty sea germs off of him. ;) * Erellisae giggles more, biting a lip with her fang. "... think I should play matchmaker?" ^_~ * Feray snorts and reaches up to tap Erel on the nose. "Nuh uh. I think if we don't spray them with a hose, we're going to have tiny rogueishly good looking army brats running around our knees." * Erellisae giggles a little more, then watches Feray quietly. "... are /you/ okay?" :/ * Feray scowls a bit, though there is a look in her eyes with softens it. "Yeah. I'm just.....really, really angry. I don't have any way to let it out yet. So it's just there. Inside. And I'm trying to ignore it but..." * Erellisae nods. "Well... I guess we're onto the big guppy next... and we'll need all the anger we can get there." ^^; * Feray grimaces a bit and there is an amusingly whiny whimper fored from her throat. "Cripes. I bet we'll smell like fish for days." * Erellisae giggles, and prods Feray. "Plus, take it from me, kissing a certain someone has always helped calm me down. Maybe you should go find Nathan." ^_~ Oh, I already did th--.. * Feray wideyes as she realizes what she said. Uh. I mean. Good idea. * Erellisae blinkblinks. * Erellisae bursts into giggles. * Feray backs her ears and blushes. * Erellisae grins, her eyes shining as she prods Feray. "You mean /other/ than before we went underwater? When? Was it good? Huh? Huh?" ^_^ * Feray coughs a bit and fidgets, gently slapping at Erel's hand. "Nnguh! Stoppit! It was better than goo-- I mean, agh! Sisssss..." * Erellisae sniggers, and sticks her tongue out at Feray. "Well, if you're still all pent up and angry you should go kiss him again! Just don't mind the big cheer that I shout from across the ship." ^_~ Hmph! Are you kidding? I think Sho-raaaoooooooooooo would burst into flames. Yeesh, talk about a serious 'hate' vibe...especially after that amazing kiss--...uh, I mean, slightly average breath-giving kiss on deck. * Erellisae's ears flick slightly as Feray mentions 'amazing', and she lays there, just grinning at Feray with a faintly triumphant air, laughter dancing in her eyes. * Feray squirms and reaches up to bury her face in a hand. "Oh jeez..." * Erellisae grins, ducking low to eye Feray from below her hand. "Weeeellll...? You gonna admit it yet?" ^_~ * Feray meets Erel's gaze and her blush deepens. "I have -no- idea what you're talking about." * Erellisae only grins wider, reaching up to noogie Feray some. "You do too! C'mon!" ^_~ * Feray utters a growl now and drops her hand, easily grabbing the smaller girl's wrists. She raises an eyebrow, making sure she's gentle enough, but holds Erel's hands firmly. "Nope. You know, does it occur to you that -whatever- happens between he and I will be overshadowed by very serious problems?" * Erellisae blinks at the sudden movement, sobering up. "Well... like what?" Well, for one. His people. C'mon, talk about issues with hatred. They hate surface dwellers so bad they -kill- them. And not even worrying about ME, what'll they think of him now that he's cozying up with me? It's not easy on him...it can't be. * Erellisae sighs slightly, and nods. "I know... but he's been exiled. I know I'd hate to be alone... he needs friends. People to trust. To live with." * Feray relaxes her grip a little... "Well...he's got us, but it's not enough....he's exiled -because- of us. I mean...I see him sometimes looking at the sea....and it hurts ME inside..." * Erellisae shrugs again, frowning lopsidedly. "He's told us enough times that there's no way he can go back... so we have to do the best we can. Why not... go to him when he next watches the sea? Just... sit with him, try to help him not hurt?" * Feray murmurs lowly, confusion noticable in her eyes and it's almost laughable how innocent she seems suddenly. "But I'm -not- the sea...I think this goes beyond just his people.. it's like a part of him...how will being with me help that?" * Erellisae smiles faintly, staring at Feray. "He trusts you, right? He's declared his love for you, right? Maybe you're not the sea, but you can be just as important to him. You can /help/ him not hurt, right? You've helped me so much, I know you can do the same for him." Nnh....I want to.... * Feray blushes now and grunts. "I do." * Erellisae nods decisively. "So try! I'm sure if nothing else he'd like the company. And he's already said he loves you. What've you got to lose?" :D * Feray gazes at Erel and chuckles a little, mumbling. "You just want to see me fall madly in love with him." * Erellisae looks mock-shocked, and opens her mouth to say something, pointing at Feray... before deflating slightly. "Well, /yes/, that too I s'pose! But c'mooon!" ^_~ * Feray juts her chin out, a flash of pride and stubborness in her eyes that should be somewhat familiar to the little mage. ;) "Well...it won't happen so easily. I am not so easily conquered." * Erellisae giggles and sidles up to Feray's side. "Aww... it'd be so cute, though... and you're already kissing him! o/~ Ferraaay and Naaaathan.... o/~" * Feray blushes, though the proud look falters and is replaced with something of a dopey grin. * Feray then shakes her head! Stop that. That's cheating! * Erellisae doesn't bat an eyelid, grinning widely. "o/~ kay-eye-ess-ess-eye-enn-gee... o/~" * Feray eyes Erellisae, her face a rather nice shade of red. She reaches out smoothly to drag most of the younger woman's hair down into her face, muffling the singsong effectively. * Erellisae blinks and makes a rather comical ackpft noise as she gets a faceful of her own hair. o_O * Feray grins. "Besides, I'm not the only one being kissed lately. You and Mitsuo are all cuddlywuddly. I'm surprised you're not holding hands and skipping." * Feray adopts a funny tone. ~ La la la! Oh so happy and fun! Butterfly and mage girl, so in love! ~ * Erellisae bliiinks, then turns a shade of red not dissimilar to Feray's own, smiling at her hand. "Well, uhm, Mitsuo does keep grabbing my hand. I thought /I/ was the forward one." ^^;; * Feray gets a wicked look now, leaning down to blow some of the thick blonde hair from Erel's eyes. She grins even wider. ...wait till you get to the naked part. * Erellisae looks up at Feray warily, then bolts backwards with an eep as Feray speaks, her face turning red as her eyes stare off into the middle distance. ^^;;; * Erellisae promptly flails and falls off the bed from shifting away suddenly. o_O; Ack! Erel! * Feray lunges for the side of the bed and stares down at the smaller girl. ^^;;; * Erellisae lays on the floor rubbing the back of her head a little and looking dazed. "Uhm. Dratted imagination." ^^; * Feray bursts into laughter, howling! * Feray rolls on the bed, holding her sides ;) * Erellisae blinksblinks, then bolts upright as she realises what she said, her face quite red. ^^;;; Siiiiiisss...! ^^;; * Feray snorts loudly and covers her face with her hand, her eyes watering from laughing so hard. She waves her free hand hurriedly at Erellisae, her voice high pitched with laughter. "Stop, stop, ahahaha..." * Erellisae flails, blushing brightly, then picks up one of the pillows from a nearby bunk, lobbing it at Feray. ^_~;;; * Feray yelps as the pillow catches her in the head and jerks upright, intent on dangling the mage girl over the side of the boat....of course, being in a bunk-setup....she thwacks her head on the bottom of the top bed. ...son of a...!! * Erellisae blinks, sobering suddenly and darting to Feray's side, checking her out. "I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry...! Are you okay?!" * Feray grimaces before it flattens into a wry grin. ...got you. * Feray grabs Erel! * Feray tugs the smaller girl half into her lap, noogying her! * Erellisae flails in Feray's arms, trying to escape the punishment. "A-ack! H-hey!" ^_~ * Feray stops, finally, and allows Erellisae her freedom. "Ah, yeah, I'm okay -now-." ;) * Erellisae grins, then rubs her head as she sits down on the floor, smiling widely. "Good." ^^ * Feray eyes Erel for a moment before a warm, loving smile graces her lips. "....thanks, little sis." * Erellisae returns the smile, shuffling across the floor to glomp Feray's ankles. "Same to you... man, I feel better..." * Feray raises both eyebrows as her ankles are taken hostage. She chuckles lowly. "You know what would top this off, then?" * Erellisae quirks an eyebrow and pokes at her hair. "Well, better except for the noogy burns and hair in my face, of course..." ^_~ "huh? what?" ^^ ...some authentic Lainian food, of course. Feel like braving Chef Feray's kitchen of doom? ^_- * Erellisae nods enthusiastically, getting to her feet. "Of course! While you're cooking, I'll check on Mitsuo. Poor boy thinks too much, I'll have to go cheer /him/ up too." ^_~ Good plan. Just wander on down to the mess hall, then, when you feel up to it. If you see Nate...uh... * Feray backs her ears and grins a little dopily. "Tell him I said hi....er...no." She coughs into her palm. "I mean, tell him I'm looking for him." * Feray shakes her head and slides out of the bunk, standing. ^^ * Erellisae grins, and nods. "I'll tell him that. 'Oh, Nathan, your buff huntress desperately needs your kisse--I mean, your presence!'" * Erellisae giggles madly and runs to duck out the room quickly ;) ....H-HEY! * Feray stares at the door and scowls. She puts her hands on her hips. .... ..... His 'heart stopping, extremely wonderful, time slowing' kisses. * Feray storms out after Erellisae. ---- END LUDE TYPE THINGY ----
