Nanami’s little blush was exactly the response Yui’d been hoping for. [colour=DAA520]”Your father is an honourable man, and one who is brave enough to let his daughter find her own place in the world; treasure that.”[/colour] She spoke softly, her words tinged with a bit of old regret; but with a sigh and a small shake of her head, she pushed all that aside. [colour=DAA520][i]That’s enough old memories for one day.[/i][/colour]

She’d works with those that used ‘bardic’ magics of various types before, but this, this was something different. As Nanami drew her dagger and began to run her finger along the blade, Yui could ‘feel’ the song as much, or possibly even more so, than she could hear it. Sitting forward once more, she stared at the blade in muted wonder as the song washed over her; on instinct she began to sing in harmony with the melody. Her eyes were transfixed on the blade as she sung, and as the music drew to a close she looked up at Nanami in quiet awe.

[colour=DAA520]”That…wow…”[/colour] Normally Yui not one to be at a loss for words, especially when it came to charming a pretty woman; but this, this threw her completely off her stride. It was so unlike anything she’d yet experienced, and her mind was having a time trying to process. [colour=DAA520]”Father and His Children…”[/colour] She muttered, trying again to restart her thoughts. [colour=DAA520]”You have an amazing gift, thank you for sharing that with me.”[/colour]

The more impulsive side of her wanted nothing more than to kiss Nanami, preferably extremely thoroughly; on instinct, she licked her lips in anticipation. Fortunately, probably for a whole host of reasons, Yui’s more rational side kept its iron grip on her self-control. [colour=DAA520][i]You barely know this woman you idiot. Sure you’ve had a bit of a dry spell but [/i][b]COME ON![/b][i][/i][/colour][hr][hr]

Isbeil flinched slightly at Ehri’s expression, and bowed deeply to the Huntress. [colour=6A5ACD]”I apologise for my actions.”[/colour] Casting her gaze to the barn floor. [colour=6A5ACD]”I’ve found that being direct greatly reduces the risk of having my wishes misconstrued, but I can understand your objection Miss Khan.”[/colour]

Standing back upright, she listened as Ehri explained briefly what it meant to be a ‘skinchanger’, all the while watching the eagle and the wolf. As she spoke, both beast responded, both to the words themselves, but also to what they implied. [colour=6A5ACD][i]I assumed the works that said a skinchangers beasts also took on more ‘human’ characteristics to be merely fantasy, but perhaps there is some truth to that as well.[/i][/colour]

After Ehri had finished, Isbeil made a point of acknowledging her companions more fully. [colour=6A5ACD]”I would also like to express an apology to your companions.”[/colour] She said with a nod. [colour=6A5ACD]”As you spoke I watched them react to what you were saying, and [i]how[/i] you were saying it. Before that, I had assumed, like others that have written on abilities like yours, they were simply beast that your powers had let you exert your will over; but I see that is far from true.”[/colour]

Reaching into her robes, she pulled out her grimoire and small [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dip_pen]pen and ink set[/url] and began taking notes in a [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/02/bd/74/02bd74d04b920b3c6a172b7919a0040f.jpg]strange script[/url]. After making a few notes and inscribing one page with a complex array, marked by the same script, she tucked it all away. [colour=6A5ACD]”To hopefully allay some of your concerns Miss Khan, I will say, that I have no desire to try and duplicate your power. I seek knowledge simply for the sake of knowing and a power forgotten by the world at large is something eminently worth studying, if I can. As for the blood? I know the power blood can wield, and I accept your refusal and ask not more about it. I only asked because it makes the spell I use able to ‘read’ whom I am watching more clearly; but I can use the spell just as easily without it.”[/colour]

Raising her left hand, she spoke so softly her words were drowned out by noises outside; her lips moved in a steady rhythm, repeating the same phrase several times before a soft light grew from her finger tips. Slowly stepping toward Ehri, Isbeil placed her index and middle finger between Ehri’s brow and then in the center of her chest. At each point, after Isbeil lifted her hand away, the glow remained for a moment before fading, as well as appearing in roughly the same spots on both Isa and Misha. [colour=6A5ACD]”Thank you.”[/colour] She said, stepping back before once more bowing to all three. [colour=6A5ACD]”If you have any questions you wish to ask of me, I will answer.”[/colour]
