So shaken had Silvarae she hadn’t heard Maeve approaching her, when she finally heard her voice she froze up her body going stiff. Her head would slowly turn, stiff, mechanical and her eyes would be wide as if a dear caught in the headlights.
"Blondie?"
"Uh- Sorry stuff got tense with the two of you or whatever, but I think we should probably go back, soon. I'm not big into rules, but they're going to ride your ass if you just blow them off like that."
"I mean. I can't twist your arm."
Maeve may have been speaking in gibberish for all that Silvarae could process at this point. She had seen something that no one had seen in twenty some years, Her brain arguing between fight or flight as she looked at the other rune user. It would happen in an instant what made her mind might have been as imperceptible as a simple breath from the fire user but she bolted sprinting at top speed unable to process anything other than escaping those eyes.
‘stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, showing them you’re weak, you’re pathetic.’ She heard her fathers voice in her head ‘stupid little bitch’ it would add berating her as she finally found herself outside the mansion heading relatively quickly for the city. All thoughts of training gone now she was sprinting anywhere, that wasn’t here at this point.

The flight had been fun, she hadn’t flown with another in a long time and it reminded her of her own past. As they arrived out the front she would lower Julie to the ground gently, herself hovering so that their heads were at the same height. Entering into the night club the familiar sounds and scents hit her like a wave. Bringing back so many fond memories of times that had come and gone.
"So, what first?"
”Well, if memory serves of places like this, we buy a drink, then the fun begins?”
She answered as she swayed in the air to the music as well, this was the last thing that she expected to doing with this evening, but now here they were, and she was going to make the most of it.



“If the reason ya came here was to get on me ‘bout my clothes, then ya might wanna find someone who actually gives a damn about ‘em.”
He would almost laugh at this response, ‘well damn she seem to actually have a humour about her’
“Call me Stride. And ‘fore ya start askin’ more questions, ya mind tellin’ me why’re ya askin’?”
Humor disappeared from his face almost as quickly as it had arrived, ‘quick’ he thought to himself, most people he spoke to would usually just assume that he were a cop and answer him without a problem. He would reach into the inner pocket of his jacket producing his badge.
”I’m a private investigator, who has been asked to check into this case, given my special abilities. His tone was business like again.
He noticed the small movement that the woman had made, a little bit school yard for his own tastes, he made no movements to conceal his own burning wrist but he knew the only way that it would stop would be if they physically touched and it could get a whole lot worse but he could withstand a lot more of the heat and pain it could generate.
He was more curious about the woman, something the universe had instilled in him with many soulmates was a curiosity about why they in particular had drawn the short straw in being paired with him.

"Not really,"
"But sure,"
A smile broad smile would be plastered across Ciennas features as Julie spoke to her, she had to agree that was probably the wisest course of action, to hold back complete trust but now she wanted to have fun. As Julie extended her hand and accepted her own she would flutter her wings while hovering and the wind would begin to stir around Julie before negating the effects of gravity on her rather easily, Cienna would tighten her grip on Julies hand and lift. This would have the effect of pulling Julie into the air alongside her. If she didn’t let go this would be safe to preform, well as safe is flying with a dark wind fairy could possibly get.
Lifting higher into the early night sky she would laugh spiralling somewhat not letting go either, she felt alive for the first time in a long time, if that were to do with burning out all her sadness or Julies presence she could not answer at this point but she felt like she a long time ago. ”so where to now my beautiful rose.” she had no idea where that had come from but she had to say it seemed to suit Julie perfectly.

Silvarae would listen as the bird like Isa spoke her impression of her getting less and less as the woman continued to speak. ‘book smarts’ she thought to herself as she considered whether or not to push the subject of the womans own superiority complex. Though the one thing that she found to be impossible to bite her tongue with was when the woman answered whether or not she had been outside the walls with a non-comital ” It has negligible value to talk about" Silvarae breathed and lived the world outside the city and she immediately would frown at this.
She let Isa finish talking before she would speak again her eyes watching her for any small give or detail that others might not notice, this wasn’t the first time she had watched the ice user but now she was wondering what it was that made her so confident in her book smarts.
”you think that your books will protect you against the things that lurk in the shadows?” she all but spat this, her hand would stray to her dagger grasping the handle tightly, her knuckles would turn white from the force of her grip while her heart beat a million miles an hour with in her breast. ”this here is a waste of time if you think the things that hide within the shadows are negligible, while we sit around here chatting and making cozy there are far darker things out there that grow stronger.”
She would push off the wall, turning and walking towards the door ”when you’re serious about actually doing something I’ll listen, till then.” She threw a hand up turning to face the door before adding ”And Isa, you know the name of my rune true, you don’t know what I’m capable of it, unlike you, I’ve seen you can bend ice to your will, and prefer mobility over force of power.” she added the last as she walked out the room towards the gym. Her nerves were rattled and the moment she left the immediate area she would lean against the wall panting for several seconds. ‘stupid stupid, stupid.’ She thought to herself slowly pushing off the wall again her heart still beating well above normal and her hands slightly shaking.

"You've been alive for - what - two-hundred years now? How do you feel about the eighty's?"
If Cienna had a running live commentary at this very moment Julie may have heard the narrator suddenly say ‘oh boy!’ but alas there was no such narrator and thus Julie could not possibly know the true passion that Cienna had felt about that very subject. Her eyes would light up as she recalled some very fond memories and a smile crossed her face, if Julie had the ability to monitor magic flow she might have noticed Ciennas equilibrium shift from true neutral to a little more into the darker spectrum which meant flirty, sexy fun loving Cienna was out for a little at least.
“Shaka Brah!” she said raising a hand in the iconic rock symbol. “I mean, anyone that was a live at that time has to have loved it right?” she clarified as she held out her hand to Julie ”Trust me?” she would giggle at her own reference there another favorite time period for her the 90’s.

Cienna was sitting had been sitting on her toilet in the ensuite ensuring her wings were completely dry with the hair dryer, it always seemed to take the longest time when your mobility required you to keep your wings dry became a real hassle if it rained. But the process hadn’t really taken that long when all was said and done she flapped her wings testing them and finding them to her liking, She then set about washing the tear stains off her face and applying a basic layer of makeup. She had to make herself look presentable after all.
She had her head inside her wardrobe when she heard Julie call out,
"Hurry up!"
She almost laughed it was like Emerald had returned, she too was always complaining that Cienna took three hundred years to get ready to go anywhere. Her hands fell on a outfit that she felt like wearing for this night, it took her only a few more minutes to get everything on and her hair pulled back up into a pony tail. The last thing she did was bandage her feet and legs and pull on a black garter, something she had started doing years ago and she liked doing it. She could feel the air flow which suggested that Julie was on the balcony and a mischievous smile would come over her features as she walked to her window and step out her wings fanning and catching her after she had fallen approximately one story. She would fly around to the balcony from below.
Rising up she would appear outside and in front of Julie twirling in mid-air “Tadaa” her tone somewhat counter to what it had been prior but she really did want to go out and have some fun with Julie too, and the early night air felt good on her skin.

She had been watching Clifton extremely closely, he of all people, she figured would recognize her positioning and she hadn’t been wrong, the slightest of signals, if she hadn’t been paying close attention she would have missed it a simple flick of the eyes a contraction of otherwise benign facial muscles. ‘do not engage’ a message received she would subtly adjust her stance almost imperceivably but enough to show she no was no longer engaging. Clifton seemed to handle the situation with all the diplomacy and skill of his station as he soon had her out of the room and seeing the girl whom clearly did not belong amongst the leave she relaxed quite notably walking back to the position she had previously occupied against the wall.
She eyed Isa with something akin to disdain in her eyes, she wondered how someone who so clearly had been here such a long time had not recognized the true danger of the situation. Wondering if the woman had any true combat training at all she would ask as much.
“Hey.. Isa… have you ever actually been outside the city walls?” her questions while seeming to question her abilities were said with such a tone that it would seem to be conversational, as if attempting to find a common ground between the two.
Silvarae wondered what good this meeting would do as they were wasting precious time where they could be learning more about their runes and how to better use them for practical purposes. Not sitting around in an office growing soft while the monsters that lurk the within the shadows of the city grew ever stronger. It annoyed her that she had been interrupted for this, but that was what they wanted her to do so here she was. She was also curious as to when she would finally get to start training with the other runes, like she’s seen a couple of the training but it had always been individual, she much desired to work with the others as well to learn better ways to fight creatures that might just use powers similar to theirs.
The primary concern on her mind though was why they hadn’t even given her the briefest of clues as to why she was here, other than the fact that she had the Algiz rune, a branching tree like rune, that appeared on the back of her left hand. If that was the only reason she would be better off out there helping people, protecting those that purchased her skills. But Cliffton had struck a deal with father and she was here now.
Listening to Isa speak her curiosity was piqued, she spoke as though she knew everything there was to know about the runes, she would then hold her hand up showing off her own rune.
“Say, what does this do?” she knew the premise behind it, but she wanted to see if the woman who claimed to know everything about runes knew what she was capable of and not just what the books said. She would not be guising the challenge at this point, she wanted to call Isa out on this little facet of her own tirade.

As silvarae noticed that the girl who had shattered the door seemed more interested in the food than the others she relaxed slightly. Her attention leaving the girl she started taking note of everything else going on in the room and the fact that Isa and Clifton, a guy she had met all but once when he finalized the paperwork with father, were seeming very apprehensive about the new girl she would walk over towards them positioning herself beside the new girl.
”Hey now, can we all relax.” she would say though she watched the girl from the corner of her eye. There were no standing orders at this point so she was making a strategic move to attempt to disarm the situation ”I mean, she managed to get into one of the most secure locations on the planet, does anyone think she’d be just able to do that?” her question was aimed directly at Clifton. If Clifton had watched any of her training videos he would know she had taken a position that would let her subdue a potential threat quickly by stepping behind. Though anyone unfamiliar with her abilities might think that she was actually siding with the girl.
While it was true she had no desire to kill this girl, in fact she had no desire to kill anyone she simply wanted to make sure no one got hurt, and to her knowledge the girl in most danger of getting hurt right now was the one who slid through the window.

"So, are we going or what? I can help you get ready. I have this place I like to go."
Julie seemed to be acting a little awkward but then this situation would make any one feel a little off put, she would nod before she turned walking towards her bedroom to get ready. She would enter her bathroom, an ensuite that had been built into the room and that she loved having right there. Her room would be neat and tidy like the rest of the house, everything in its proper place albeit in here there would be piles of books on the bedside cupboards. Her room would be considered large by most people being able to house three king size beds easily if she were to try and put them in. The only thing that would seem to be out of place would be the computer she kept in the corner.
It had been retrofitted to be used for a blind person though just looking at it the only give away would be the keyboard having braille lettering on it aside from having the standard roman letters. She would grab her hair dryer and begin the process of drying her wings so that she would be able to fly again. The whole while she was moving around she was listening keenly to what Julie was doing.


“Shit!”
“Comin’!”
“Give me a second, a’ight? Just- fuck- hang on a sec!”
He heard come from behind the wooden portal, it was followed by a rather artistic rendition of vocabulary by a sailor on the seas. He found this to be rather humorous a stray smile coming to his face, a somewhat unusual occurrence these days. There was the sound of scraping wood followed by that of a click, that was an interesting thought, whom-so-ever was behind this wooden portcullis was attempting to hide something and he mused over what that might be.
As the door swung open he was greeted by a woman, she was dressed in casual attire which in and of itself wasn’t uncommon, dare he say it, it was the vogue thing to do whilst at home but what caught his attention faster than anything was the gas mask the woman had on.
“Yeah? What d’ya need?”
He could appreciate the question if not the way it was said and before he could even think about what he was saying he commented,
”Interesting attire.” it was in truth the most startling thing about the woman before him and lead his mind to question what exactly it was she was hiding, ‘questions for another time. I guess.’ He thought to himself before clearing his throat.
Forgive me, the name’s Zephyr, and I’m here investigating that Tornado that happened yesterday. Would you happen to know anything about the tenant that lives just besides you?”
By now his wrist would be starting to annoy him so he glanced towards the womans arm out of the corner of his eye, to make it less obvious he did this while talking and noted her wrist was also slightly glowing. ‘COME ON! UNIVERSE!’ he thought to himself ‘just my luck another human.’ Would be his next thought as he waited for her to respond.
