[b]Tower of Broken Dreams, Ceyr[/b]
—————————————————————————

Snarling mildly for but a flash at seeing [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/76127-goodhood-a-tale-of-deities/char#post-2369832]Voana[/url]'s figure in the distance, Thirianna stepped back to receive the newcomer, and her sapphire-like eyes met those of [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/76127-goodhood-a-tale-of-deities/char#post-2369530]Hiraga[/url], but frowned at the feigned cordiality. Vaul took action first to return the guardian's greeting, dipping his head in a deeply respectful bow, his long, platinum blonde hair pulled away from their usual place behind his shoulders and encouraged to fall over his obscenely baroque breastplate. "Hiraga," he rose, his chin tilted slightly upwards in that Elven manner when they were genuinely happy, if the smile that curved his thin lips and reached his bright eyes wasn't enough to convey it. "Your dryads continue to keep the Forests of Ulthanesh and Eldanesh so lush and beautiful. On behalf of the Elven Pantheon and the mortals we call our children, I thank you sincerely."

In contrast to the smith god, the guardian arch-angel's reply was cold in its insulting shortness. "Good to see you too, elder sister," she said, as her eyes wandered all over the disgustingly fake body Hiraga had chosen to take. The firstborn was a shapeshifter, and proclaimed herself to be Guardian of all Ceyr. How pretentious. But none of these venomous thoughts showed through Thirianna's convincing-enough smile. "I hope you've been keeping well."

But [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/76127-goodhood-a-tale-of-deities/char#post-2371758]Varavana[/url] found himself ignored by Thirianna, even when he bowed and spoke at some length. He was right in the tension that filled the air, as the the second-born tried to spark conversation with her elder sister with an extremely generic "How have you been?"

The only attention the upstart got was from Vaul, who looked at him for a second, decided he wasn't interested, and returned his gaze to Hiraga. If the smith god noticed [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/76127-goodhood-a-tale-of-deities/char#post-2369608]Gaon[/url], he made no effort to show it. Indeed, the ancient spirit that helped to shape and form the greatest and most terrible mortal race to ever conquer great swathes of continental Ceyr would be just as cold to the [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/76127-goodhood-a-tale-of-deities/char#post-2370195]third upstart[/url] who was taking his sweet time in ascending the steps.
