Nobles and Commoners (Zellsantal and SliverDreamer)

Nick gave her a chuckle "ya your good in geting into trouble that's for sure." he said before fallowing her to the teleport circle. Nova fallowed them and even went though the circle once more though Nove still didn't like useing it. Once everyone was though Nova went ahead and chanted a few words and suddenly the circle broke and the magic that lied with in it is gone as well. "Made sure that it woun't be used again so now it is safe to say there won't be anything else coming though that circle again. " he said to his friends, how ever the elfs other then Solsin were already ahead of them but not too far behind.

Once they got back to the main home of the noble family they could already hear what Trunks was reporting to Mace, about how they have taken care of the dragonborn they drew out. Also telling Mace about Vent disobeying his orders to stay in the camp, in that time is when they walked in. "This is not the first time he took things into his own hands, with this he could have gotten lady Tamra killed however it was lucky that Solsin was there fallowing the plan." He said to Mace. The elven looked at Mace then at Vent who stood there without saying a word as of yet as if waiting for the lord to judge him. Mace turn to look at the Kali and the rest of the group that came in "Lady Kali, if you would in your own words tell me what happen. Sense you and the rest of the group that was with you have your own story while inside the cabin itself. " he said as it waited for a reply.

Kali shuddered once more as the teleportation spell was cast and the runes glowed darkly around them. As they moved from one place to the next with the dark magic that pulsed through she could feel her body weakening slightly. Her skin paled and she looked a little ill until she stepped away from the portal and watched Nova close it. Her gaze fell on him though as he did so. A whisper of concern crossed her mind. If he could destroy such perhaps he could create such also. "Thank you Nova." She murmured quietly before she walked towards the Elf Kings home and a rapid pace.

Kali sighed as she heard Trunks voice before he came back into sight and then paused slightly as Lord Mace's directions. She bowed her head slightly as she smiled to him. "While I shall refrain from going into the most detailed explanation of the story I can tell you truthfully Lord Mace that had it not been for Vent, his swift actions and his concern for the safety of your daughter and those with the cabin. None of us would be here now including your daughter or perhaps she would but her soul would of been destroyed and she would be the host of a demon. Vent may not of obeyed Trunks rules or orders but had we waited on them..it would of been too late. While Solsin fought hard and well and did all that he could to help save her it was Vent that turned the tide in our favour in the end. "

Kali saw for a moment that Trunks had a glare on her as if she did something wrong but like she have told Tamra he have his own emotionless mask on. Mace nodded and then look over to Solsin himself "What do you say, I sent you with them to help even though they were non-elven. Is what she say true?" he asked. It wasn't he was trying to be rude to Kali or her friend but more he was looking for something, what she wouldn't know for sure. Solsin looked over at Trunks for a moment before looking back to his lord "what she have said is true my lord, without their help I wouldn't have able to take down the summoner alone and if not for Vent then me and lady Tamra would be hosting demons as it the summoner have said before. With out Nova to help me fight the on coming of demons being summon Kali here wouldn't have able to sneak up to the summoner to deliver a strike at the summoner. Also too with Nickalie's magic, fighting off the demons and getting us out of the cabin before the dieing summoner could kill us with him." he said in reply.

Mace nodded before he finaly turn to Vent himself and knowing very well Tamra was in there with them "What about you Vent, tell me why you disobay Trunk's order to stay in the camp and how you were able to be in the cabin before Solsin's team got there?" He asked. The drow look up at Mace "My lord, I know what Trunks have orderd but I also know what you have orderd as well. You wanted every one that you sent to the commander to help get Tamra back, staying and guarding a camp had nothing to do in saving your daughter so I took upon myself to help in my own way. I was able to sneak to and into the cabin about an hour before Solin's team have arrived but I also saw the magical trap. I was waiting for the right time to strike for I didn't know what these dragonborn could do and on top of that these men were all in there as well. Once Trunk attacked and lure them out I was going to make my move but I also heard there plans so while the summoner stayed and hid out of my sites to use my bow the others went I again couldn't do anything or else i would be traped and more likly to be killed. When Solsin's team came I was going to warn but I stoped for if I've not done so then the summoner would have time to act and again might have gotten me as well. Only after the group spring the trap and bring the summoner out of hiding is when I made my move, the rest of what happen then fallowed." He said to him before lowering his head once more.

"You see my lord, just like a drow to let others go into a trap rather then himself. For all we know it was all set up for him too..." Trunks was saying but before he could say more Mace came up to him and back hand him so hard it made the commander fall to the ground with a bleeding lip. Everyone in the room that was elven blind in surpise, never had Mace hit another elf in that manner but they all could see the anger in his eyes. "My lord I.." Trunks was saying but cut off by Mace's voice "Shut up, have you forgotten why we live here in this forest? A forest that belongs to a human king whos grandfather welcome us in open arms to give us a new home after ours was lost in the demon wars. And yet you dare to inslut these people that I asked to aid in geting my daughter back and you dare to not fallow all of MY orders. Who in there right might would leave one person in a camp while everyone else was giving there lifes to save one person? Your hate for a drow almost cost my daugthers life and I woun't stand for it any longer! As of today you are strip of your command, now get out of my sites!" He yelled at the now former commander. Trunks wasn't too happy what just happen that can be seen but he still try to at calm before walking out of the room.

Kali's violet eyes opened wide in surprise as she saw Lord Mace lose his temper. She had never seen him raise his voice let alone yell at someone and she certainly had not expected the physical blow that he struck Trunks. She kept her gaze low in case his anger became fully unraveled and he took it out upon more than any other. She watched as Tamra moved back to her father and whispered quietly in his ear to try and settle him back down.

She looked to Nick a moment and exchanged a glance of uncertainty. Lord Mace had defended a Drow which could lead to serious repercussions if Trunks could gather enough of a following though with Vent's actions having saved the Princess many may silently agree with him bit not speak up against him now. It gave Tamra and Vent a chance. A small chance perhaps but at least it was one. At that she was reminded of the scroll in her cloak and sighed quietly before she finally spoke to Lord Mace. "If you have no further need of me Lord Mace I would like to be excused if you are willing. I am glad your daughter is safely with you." She smiled gently to Tamra as she waited for her permission to leave and hoped Lord Mace would simply nod his head rather than mention that she needed make no request.

She watched Vent out of the corner of her eye and she could not help but notice that only other than Trunks did he look more surprised than any one else in the room. Her skin had turned a rather strange shade of grey as if he was embarrassed.

Mace took a few deep breaths to calm down before nodded to his daughter, "I understand Lady Kali but I wish to speak with you once I'm finsh here. Please be patient a little longer." he said to her in reply before turning back to Vent. "Tell me Vent, for saving Tamra I'm sure there is something you want in return. You have done many things and earn repect among the elfs in this forest." Mace said as he start to get closer to the Drow. "My lord really there is nothing I would want in return. I live to help the people in this kingdom though your people first." vent said in reply. "Vent I know what you said is true but I also know about you and Tamra as well, I know both of your true feelings." he said which only made Vent have fear in his eyes and no doubt Tamra for they tryed to hide it from Mace for they belive he would not understand nore would he aloud them to be together.

"I been watching you for a long time, sense you been here to be a fact. Test you to see if you would go back to your people or even plan to betray my people. You done none of it, and you have earn the trust of a lot of my people as well. Today was another one, to see how far you would go to save one's life. More so to some one you gave your heart to and not blindly head on. Its also what it takes to be a leader, to think before you act and you done well. I found out that Trunks was doing everything he could to take my spot to lead the elfs back tot he old ways of just thinking about themselfs and nothing about the other short lived races. He tryed winning Tamra's heart but what he fails to see is that her heart belong to another. What I might say next some would think I'm mad and others would say it's reasonable. If you two wish to be together then you have my blessing and I won't get in your way." Mace said with a smile on his face. Vent in the other hand was lost in words, taken back from what was said. At first he feard he would be ask to leave Tamra be but in fact it was the other way around "I don't know what to say my lord." he said as he was still trying to say something repectful and greatful at the same time. "We will talk more later, for now I think you both need some alone time so go when you think is best. The rest of you may leave though as I said before lady Kali I wish to talk to you in privet if that is not a problem?"

Kali frowned slightly as Lord Mace referred to her as Lady Kali once more but simply nodded her head slightly at his simple but annoying request. She was glad that she had though the look of surprise when she had seen Lord Mace struck Trunks was nothing compared to the startled expression that crossed her features at the conversation between him and Vent. While she was aware of Tamra's sudden happiness and the Elven schooling of facial control seemed to have disappeared from all the Elves in the room. Kali was also aware at that moment Lord Mace may very well have just handed Trunks the chance to make a play for the throne. Not many if any other Elves would welcome the chance in status for the Dark Elf especially as that possibly meant he would be King of them all in the future.

She smiled gently to Tamra but she kept any concern hidden beneath her own control as she waited until calmness returned to the throne room and then focused her gaze on Lord Mace at his reminder. She shook her head to him gently. "I do not foresee any concerns at all Lord Mace." She gently dipped her head to him and lifted her hand up to indicate he lead the way to his private chambers.

As she did so she looked to Nova and Nick. "You may leave without me if you have to. If so, it has been a pleasure to meet you Nova and it would appear that Lady Tamra is no longer one for your Prince to inquire about any further. I do hope he shall not at all be disappointed."

Nova only laughed "Oh I'm sure he will understand when I say shes already taken, things like that happen all the time but yes she would be out of my list to interveiw. I will wait for you outside, it would be rude of me not to walk you back home, more so after what happen in that ally." he said with a smile give her a wink before walking out the room. "I'll wait for you as well. Once I know everything is fine then I might return, really I could help you start today with your ....um list if you know what I mean?" he asked though he walked out before anything else was said so both Kali and Mace be alone.

"First I wish to thank you for helping, in truth I felt foolish to let you go. Your father would have my head if something have happen to you. I do owe you greatly and willing to anything if within my power to replay for what you done for me. However I wish for another favor, to aloud me to tell your father what have happen insteed of you telling him yourself. I give you my word I will not mention that you were in it for both our sakes but still I wish to be responsible for my actions and not my people."

Kali smiled at Nova's words and gently nodded her head to his words and waited until he had gone without saying a word. She was not going to be able to allow him to escort her home at all. Or any where near her hone and she was suddenly unsure how she was going to settle that and prevent him following her at the same time.

She watched Lord Mace as he spoke. A look of surprise crossed her features. "You would be wise to inform him of the whole truth Lord Mace. With your actions of today you and I both know that not all of your people are going to agree with your actions. My father while he may be angered you..." She paused a moment as she considered the next word. "permitted me." She used the word permitted as she made it clear she would of done as she wished whether he tried and stopped her or not. "but he will understand what you did but should you leave out the truth with him then he will truly be angry and not trust you as much as he does now."

She spoke honestly and calmly as she watched to see if her words made sense to him and would sink in. "I shall let you tell him if you wish Lord Mace. My father shall know that I would of gone had you wished me to or not. He knows how strong headed I am and how much I care for your daughter."

"I was planing to tell him everything, nore was I going to lie to him. He been good to us and a good freind as well. I just didn't wish to say anything until the matter was delt with, thats all. As for my people... the ones who would dislike what I'm doing would just have to deal with the change, just as we did when we moved here. If we can't put old hates and learn to adapted new ways of living then we be no different then the demons themselfs. I do have a feeling Trunks will try something and I will talk to your father about that as well to let him know whats going on in the forest city. " he told her before giveing her a low bow of repect "again I thank you and your two freinds for getting my daughter back, i hope that one day I can repay the favor." he said to her.

Once he raised up he looked at her once more "I woun't hold you any longer for I'm sure you have other things you wish to do. I wish you good day Lady Kali." he told her and she would be free to go. Nickalie and Nova were outside the room but would not have heard what was said in the other room becuse of how think the walks were and the door as well. "So what did the elven lord wanted to talk to you about?" Nova asked her.

She smiled to Lord Mace and bowed her head forward as she moved to the door. "I am certain my father will be able to advise you well about how to handle Trunks. More than a couple of people have tried to take the throne from him. I am glad I could help Lord Mace and I can only hope that I never have to call on such a payment in turn." She said softly as she left the room and then smiled to Nickalie and Nova as they seemed to be waiting just outside.

"He just wished to thank me seen as I am..gentler of nature." She said the term gentler in a playful tone of voice as mischief filled her eyes. Well before I return home I need to get something to eat and drink. Either of you know of a pleasant place to enjoy company and good music along with food and drink without paying beyond the moon for it?"

Nova couldn't help but give her a playful smile in return then reply to her question before Nick could say anything"How about were I'm staying, its called the Red Drake, a newer inn I believe but still I believe it have what your looking for. Also I did say the lunch would be on me." he said to her. "Forgive me then I will have to pass, I have a test tomorrow and have to be ready for it, to make sure I have everything for it as well. I'll drop you off at the gates and then I'll head back to the tower." he said to her.

(sorry if the replys been short, though trying to think what they could do next, maybe in this time when both Nova and Kali go to the inn the other character can come in to get the detels of what happen today. After that I was think maybe the next day and this time they go for one of Kali's suiters.)

She had been looking at Nova and about to respond to his words when Nick spoke. She gave him a gentle smile before she leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek. "Good luck with your studying and preparation. Just be sure not to destroy the mages tower this time." She said the word jokingly before she released him so he could go.

She turned her gaze back to Nova and nodded her head gently. "Well if you lead the way and still are willing to pay the price of the lunch I am more than willing to follow you." She said the words softly as she carefully looked around the streets in case someone was watching them closely. "Is there anything in particular you wish to eat after this mornings events?"

Nickalie role his eyes a bit before replying to her comment "Very funny Kali, and I didn't blow up the tower, only one of many rooms and that happen years ago. I learned my erriors sense then and don't plan to repeat it again ethier." Nickalie said before smirking "better watch it, I just might one day make your cloth's disappear with lots of people around, no not all your cloths but most of them just so I can see the look of your embarrassed face." he said in a joking way almost like a brother and sister kind of teas.

Nova in the other hand gave a laugh "You know I just might pay to see that." he said though he was only joking as well. He only just met these people and already hes loving their company. He calm himself down before replying to her "yes I'll pay what you want to eat and as for what to have... I think Ill see what it have before I deside. So we better get going before you... waste away of hungeron us." He said before chuckling again. Nick chanted his spell and then put his hands onto his two friends before chated the final word and suddenly in a puff of smoke they were at the front gates of the city itself. "I'll see you guys later." Nick said and with that he chanted his spell again and was gone.

She could not help but smile and then laugh at Nick's reaction to her light teasing. She leaned slightly into his touch to make sure that she was not left behind as they moved from one spot and the next and gave him a smile as he disappeared from sight and left her with Nova. Her gaze turned to the young stranger and she gave him a warm smile. "Well lead on stranger before I decide to eat you for lunch instead of waiting until we get to the inn you know of."

She moved through the gates but kept her gaze lowered so none would catch her eye colour and then as Nova followed she moved besides him and slid her arm entwined with his. "Does this inn produce anything nice in particular?"

Nova's brow rose up as she said before about eating him up insteed "really, I look that tasty hmm? If you wanted to bed me that much I would have asked to find a good place in the elven city." he said as he teas her once more before they walked though the gates. After a little bit he suddenly felt her arm around his own which he had no problem with, then he heard her question "Oh I believe its beef and chicken is what there more known to have, able to cook many things with those meats. Its a bit pricey then other inns I been into but the price is worth it. One of the best inns I've been in for a long while. Not too high for only the rish to stay but not the poorest that it look like shit is being given to you. After they walked a little long Nova led Kali to the Golden Dragon, however as they gotten closer he could see a figure looking as if waiting for some one "Heh, I guess shes been waiting for me to come back all day, shes going to kick me for not taking her along." he said as he was talking about his best freind who was standing at the door way of the Golden Dragon.

(I couldn't remeber what I called the inn on the other post so I make this one insteed)

Her violet gaze widened at the teasing and for a brief moment she almost caused an accident by nearly stumbling into the person in front of them. A slow blush touched her cheeks and she shook her head gently. "As attractive as you may be I certainly do not think I find you beddable..especially in an Elven City. Besides what would your Prince say?" She added the last comment with a raised eyebrow and then followed as he lead.

As he pointed out his female friend she briefly glanced between the pair as she wondered if his comment of before had been nothing more than a remark and this was more than a simple friendship. A small knot settled in her stomach at the thought but she gave him a soft smile. "I do not wish to be intruding actually. If she has been waiting for you I should let you get to her and explain what has kept you so long." She gave him a firmer smile as she unwrapped her arm from his own and offered her hand to shake it with his. "It has been a pleasure to meet you Nova. If you still wish aid with your other name on the list I am more than agreeable in aiding you. What name do you have next?"

Nova chuckle, what she said about him being attractive and the blue on her face was enough for him. He wouldn't push on the subect or else she might think he was only want to bed her, even though it would be interesting to do but he just met her and would give her repect. "He would say 'you lucky basterd, you found a lovely woman and didn't bring her with you so we both have a good night.' Or something like that and mind you it is a joke, other then that he lets me do as I wish if it's within reason. He can be an ass some times but mostly he is a kind prince." he said to her though not all he said was true or so he belives. Nova didn't belive he was an ass what so ever and try to be fair as possable as well.

Nova blinked for a moment, he though she would come in and have a lunch with him sense he did offer it to her though it made him wonder why the change of mind or maybe there is something else she had to do. "Jade Goldmoon is the next one though I think I will wait a day or two before I go to see her. Maybe I could see you again in that time? In any case it have been a indeed a pleasure Ms. Kali." Nova said before he took her hand, at that moment he takes her and pull and kiss lightly one the hand that she offerd and gave a low bow at the same time. All the mean while keep his eyes onto her before gently leting go and head back to the inn.

Her jaw had dropped slightly at the following remark about what the Prince would say and for a moment she was not actually certain how to respond. While many men had made crude comments about her, few had towards her and certainly not in such a way about more than one person being involved. Her mouth opened and closed for a few seconds before she felt able to actually speak. She took a step in closer to him so that her mouth came against his ear. "I am afraid you would have to inform your Prince that when I..have fun with someone. I only enjoy ..one person." Her tone had changed from any it had been before, her tone had become thick, sexual and to some degree blatantly teasing.

As he spoke of the next name on the list she smiled ever so slightly. She could tell he seemed confused by her sudden change of mind but she was not about to explain to him why she had changed her mind. Instead she simply watched him a moment as he lifted her hand up to place a kiss on the back of it. "I am sure if you go looking for trouble I shall already be there. If not perhaps I shall return to this place tomorrow morning and see if you wish company. Take care Nova."

She said the words softly before she disappeared into the crowds and quickly made her way back to the castle using the old staff routes. She pulled the hood she wore and allowed the red curls to fall along her shoulders and down to her back. She changed into a simple but elegant day dress and sought the kitchen to eat in hopes her father may for now at least believe she had been in her room sulking. Once she had a plate of food to eat she returned to her room and pulled out the scroll of names there. She began to write notes besides each name and made a variety of plans to meet and put off each suitor.

----------------

Nova's friend gave him a warm smile as he neared the door and she leaned in to place a gentle kiss on his cheek before her gaze strayed to the spot in which the female had been standing. "I see you have been making new friends. You do know you do not really have time to waist on any female waif and stray you met. Your father will not be a happy man if you delay what must be any more than you already have." While her words were serious her tone was not and she stepped into the inn and walked before him until they got to the bar. She ordered a drink for herself and a platter of food before she tilted her head upwards to indicate they should take this conversation to her room.

"I know Lin, though I didn't really waists time as you might be thinking. Your going to hate not coming with me in the first place, you miss a fun morning." Nova said to her before he too order food and drink for himself, once he got it he would fallow her back to her room. Len and Nova have been best of freinds sense they were little kids, she started as a commoner and with his help she became one of the most skilled fighters in Rasa and his peronal bodygaurd as well though they both repest each other enough not to get in each other's bussiness unless they talked about it. Once they got to her room and sat down Nova told her what happen. From meeting with Kali and her freind Nickialie, what happen at the elven city and how they saved Tamra from the Shadow Mal group. Nova Trusted Lin with his life and hide nothing from her as well. Some might say they both are lovers or something like that because of how much time they spen together. They are more friends with benefits but they have only done it a few times but other then that they don't have any love for each other but still care about each other's feelings.

(by the way what race would she be if I may ask?)

(I would say she is Dragonborn also but one of the other breeds.)

Lin looked to Nova as he spoke and shook her head slightly at his talk about the young female not being a waste of time. "Nova, you can not spend any more of your time doing what you have always been doing. As fun as it is and as fun as it has been. You and I are both quite aware than your father quite soon wishes to hand the throne to his heir. That being you, you can not risk being seen with a common woman while trying to woo Princesses and queens to be."

She picked up one of the large, thick chunks of bread on her plate and forced it between his lips so he could not argue a moment. A playful smile to her dark lips as she did to show she was truly only playing. A pair of horns similar to his protruded through the dark mane of hair that hung past her shoulders. These horns were covered in what looked to be snake skin, the scales at times caught the light and reflected auburn and golden hues. She listened to his story as he explained his adventures and gave him a strange smile. "Your certain this Kali is purely a commoner?"

Nova could't help but give a soft laugh at her question "Oh I don't think she is a normal one, I'm thinking maybe she is a train soilder or something in that way, a bit young for one I would say but still she's not one of those helpless types nore one who can hardly lift a finger for her self ether. I dought she is a noble or even the princess her self sense I have yet to see a noble human female to fight that well and not afraid to get a cut for that matter. Still she's hiding something..... but I will not push her to tell me nore would I with her freind Nickalie ether. They both earn my truth and I'll honer that trust as well." He said to her before smiling "So Lin whos next on my little list?" he asked her, really he didn't want to do this but he had no choice in the matter. This makes him wish he was just a commoner she would take his time finding the right one. His heart was broken once by another who came close in breaking his freindship with Lin and his respect to his people. He put that past behind him as he trys to think of something else. "Heh so tell me something Lin, when are you going to decide to settle down or are you going to stay free for the rest of your life?"

Lin felt a growing curiosity over the woman that had so quickly disappeared at the sight of her as Nova spoke. Nova she knew had never been attracted to the types of women that looked to be treated as if they were delicate flowers and unable to live without a maid. She also knew while he may not push for information from this Kali or Nickalie that he spoke of nor was he not going to try and find information out or be observant around them. Either way in truth it matter little beyond friendship for Nova with the woman. A solider in training or not , that was too many ranks down the chain for him to grow attached.

She finished eating her dinner before she browsed the list of female she had been given and scratched off the Elven Princess's name. "Your next potential wife is the daughter of shifter Lord Dominic Bane. It is quite unlikely such a matching would be acceptable..but perhaps you are just ..animal enough to appease them." She gave a brief glance to both his horns and then tail before his comment made her chuckle. "When clearly I am not having to help you with your own woes and suitable matings. I wager maybe in two years or so at our current rate. Anyway Camaerane where your potential bride to be is a little to the west of here. We would have to set off at dawn to reach their home tomorrow..unless...." She reached into a bag and pulled out a selection of notes on the information she had gathered about the females. "Her family actually should be here tomorrow. They are attending a small festival dedicated to their kind. "

Two years, well at lest she's taking her time and not rushing into anything, that only reminded him think about Janna. Janna like him and Lin is a dragonborn, one of the finest females of his race he have seen but almost made it his last. She got Nova to fall in love with her all so she could take the crown for herself, it was part of a Shadow Mal plote to take over Rasa and it came very close to have worked. If not for Lin who got wind of it later on after he and Janna were together at the time, Janna was making him do things he never thought he would do and do it so blindly as well. She had him push away all those that were close to him just so spen more time with Janna but in fact it was so have better control over him. Even with in he pushed away many times, even hit her once which he still hate himself even to thid day for what he did to Lin. However even though he was an ass to his best freind she still tryed to help him. Once he realize what he have done he felt such a fool, Nova was only surpized that Lin still stayed with him as a friend and with her help he gotten the respect of his people once more and those who are close to him.

This is why he wanted to do things his way, to make sure something like Janna doesn't happen again. However thinking about the Shadow Mal he couldn't help but wonder what they are really up to. Nova looks back at Lin as he heard what she said about the shifter lord's daughter, in truth he didn't see how that would work out for them but then again he guess it deapens what type of shifter the daughter is. Nova nodded to Lin as she said about a festival "Good, that would make it easyer and not so much travil as well. With any luck it woun't be anything that happend at the elven city." he said though that gotten him thinking once more. "Don't let your guard for the rest of the time we are here, I have a feeling the Shadow Mal ain't done yet. It been a long time sense any word about them until now and I have now dought it wount be the last. We have to be carful for now on."

For a long time Nova seemed to become lost in thought and Lin knew exactly where those thoughts had gone. She shook her head faintly as she rose to her feet and was about to put a plan in action to distract him from the past when he finally spoke once more. She simply nodded her head slightly before she reached a hand down and grip it in hers to pull him to his feet. "You know me. I always believe that they are coming to get you once more when we are not in the safety of our home and even then I am wary." She had been aware more than any others how close their own downfall had come when Janna had managed to wriggle her way into Nova's heart and mind. It had taken a long time for him to get over her and at times she was concerned that Janna still had a special place in his heart that he tried to mask. Perhaps once he met the right princess what ever lingered from those days would be finally cleansed away.

"Do you wish me to go and deliver a message on your behalf and see what I can find out about them or do you wish to make the approach tomorrow itself?" She inhaled the air around him gently and then pulled a face. "You smell worse than that time you got lost in the swamps. You need to go get cleaned up before you approach any one from a mile away or you shall knock them out." She gave him a semi teasing but not too serious grin. "Do you wish me to help you get cleaned?"

It was true, the Shadow Mal would still do what it takes to get him and use him to take Rasa for themselfs, but he wouldn't let that happen and he plans to put an end to them if they do more crimes like they have with the elven princess. Nova let Lin pull him to his feet, he trusted her more then most people back at Rasa and greatful for her honesty as well. Even if it felt like she was acting like his mother some times. That was also why when she mention about the swamps he couldn't help but laugh "that bad huh, well then I best get a bath then." he said before chuckling again with her asking if he needed her to help him clean "if you wish to, that only tells me you cant keep your hands off me." he said with a teasing grin before giving her a wink. "As for the message I think i will met them in person and you come with me this time." he said as he start walking up to the bath room door and open it, within is like all both rooms but this own insteed of a tub it had a shower system. This type of system is new in the world but he have heard it works very well, better then trying to boil hot water and making sure geting right admont of could and hot water for a good bath. This you can do it your self insteed of waiting. Nova wanted to try this system and so now he have the chance to try it out, he starts to take off his cloths and wonder if Len will join him or she would rather wait outside.
