[h3][center][color=aba000]~Sorcha~[/color][/center][/h3]

Sorcha remained silent, eyes glaring at the small girl as Luna escorted her out of the room. She restrained herself from moving or saying anything else, for fear of not being able to control herself if she did. She didn't want to make Luna more upset than she already did, and she definitely didn't want to kill a child...even if that child was was someone she [i]wanted[/i] to kill. She took a few deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself, tearing her eyes away from the door to the spilled ale as Luna and Fia left. She made a mess on Luna's bed, yelled at a guest, and overall was a fairly discourteous host.

[color=yellow]"Don't try to play this off as a mistake, it won't help either of us. I want to know why you yelled at Fia and called her 'thing.'"[/color]

At least Luna thankfully didn't seem angry with her.

[color=aba000]"You have my apologies, Luna, as well as my thanks. That was quite improper behavior for one such as I...and if that girl had stayed here i am not sure I could have kept myself from doing something I would have regretted for the rest of my life."[/color] Her voice was much more calm, but it was clear she was still furious about something, but there wasn't much Luna could do about that. A Dragons rage was not something that was easily stifled, even if she was tired. [color=aba000]"...haa...is being angry normally this tiring?"[/color] The dragon shook her head. [color=aba000]"I haven't been so...furious since..."[/color] She dragons voice trailed off, eyes seeming distant for a brief moment before shaking her head and looking over to Luna.

[color=aba000]"Fia...is that the name she goes by now?"[/color] Sorcha mused, a wistful seeming smile forming before it was replaced with a frown. [color=aba000]"I assure you, I would never try and cover such an outburst as a mistake. I...I have a history with that...Phoenix, and it would take a lifetime to tell you everything that happened but I shall tell you the important parts."[/color] Sorcha said, pulling the covers off from around her and sitting at the edge of the bed. She folded her hands on her lap, collecting her thoughts for a few moments before speaking. [color=aba000]"It is a rather long one that ended in shall we say, betrayal and the murder of hundreds of innocent lives."[/color] She looked towards the ground, wings visibly drooping at recalling the rather unpleasant memories. 

[color=aba000]"...You remember that ruined village that you walked through on your way to my home?"[/color] The dragon asked. [color=aba000]"I doubt you could tell, but Once upon a time, it was a magnificent city. People laughed, lived, loved...children played in the streets. It was what you might call a self sufficient city state. It was prosperous and relatively peaceful - it had a rather powerful dragon living in it that the people looked to for guidance and kept any sort of hostile people at bay. Indeed, they even called her a god. A god that routinely ate all their food reserves and played with the children in the gardens."[/color] She smiled, chuckling a bit at that sentence likely making it obvious which dragon she was speaking of. [color=aba000]"Aha, such lively little ones. I would play the part of the big scary dragon and they would play the part of a valiant hero trying to slay me. I do so...miss them...If things had been different it would likely still be there today, and I would still be sitting upon that throne getting fat and still stealing extra food while having a funny little adviser irreverently pulling on my horns and telling me not too."[/color] Her smile faded before sighing and looking at the floor.

[color=aba000]"But...She, Fia, or at least, one of her past lives now I suppose...she had some influence with...some sort of holy Crusaders or something. I am not sure, as a devout follower of the Allfather I am not particularly inclined to learn the religion of someone else. Anyways...she had those crusaders attack my home...after repeated assurances that such a thing wouldn't happen even if we were 'heathens'"[/color] Surprisingly the dragon took a deep, somewhat shaky breath. [color=aba000]"I...apologize but I cannot go into detail. I am unsure I could keep my composure if I did, and I would hate for you to have to experience that again."[/color] She looked up at Luna. [color=aba000]"I did what I could, but even a dragon, especially a complacent one who has spent the last decades being nothing but a glutton and playmate for children could not stand against such an army. I fought and you can be sure I took as many of them to the grave as I could...but, it wasn't enough. I managed to survive barely and...I buried those that I could find over the next year but..."[/color]

The dragons voice trailed off as she inhaled.

[color=aba000]"I-I apologize again, Luna but if that is enough..."[/color]


[color=a187be][h3][center]~Cynthia & Livia~[/center][/h3][/color]

[color=a187be]"Hmm...her tears?"[/color] Livia hummed thoughtfully as she picked up the scroll she had been given. That wouldn't be too...difficult to get at the moment if Fia was currently having a bad reaction from meeting Sorcha. [color=a187be]"I am unsure if I can get you a sufficient amount - I will not resort to beating the girl, but I will do what I can."[/color] She didn't want the tears at all, and asking for them might give Fia the wrong idea after having built a good rapport with her. She read the scroll, turning her head to the side for a moment as if someone was speaking to her before smiling laying it on her desk.

[color=a187be]"If that is everything then, my own business is calling."[/color] Livia was somewhat disappointed that Aetheria wasn't pursuing the line of questioning about what she could possibly gain from three souls and life-giving tears.

[color=8dc73f][h3][center]~Gwynn & Lyssa~[/center][/h3][/color]

[color=8dc73f]"I am [i]not[/i] jealous."[/color] Gwynn repeated again to Mugi, though she didn't realize the other girl had focused her attention back on Lyssa. Instead, she focused back on Maoin, pulling the kitten close and rubbing the top of her head again. [color=8dc73f]"Yes, you area good kitty."[/color] She replied rather absentmindedly.

[color=f6989d]"Maaaaybe?"[/color] Lyssa, giggled innocently at the Ice womans question. "[color=f6989d]If I [i]was[/i] trying to...is it working?"[/color] She scooted closer to Mugi once again, giving her a bright grin.
