(Mirror Edge, Argentum) Somewhere in the Waterways, Near the Lake of Miracles
"A Guardian. Hmmm... Intriguing." The dragon clasped his free hand to his chin. He scratched at it deep in thought as he pondered to himself. He stroked the strange whiskers that protruded out and around his nose. It was rather funny really, it looked as if he was curling a tiny mustache with his index finger. It was quite the sight to behold.
"So, I was correct in some of my assumptions it would seem. Hmmm... But guardian of what? What kind of spirit are you? A spirit of fire? It would befit your housing seeing as it is a gem of the fire class. Though it is also more closely tied with the meaning of blood. However, I've never heard of a blood elemental... or a blood spirit. That'd be a strange sight I imagine. Certainly one I wouldn't mind seeing though as it be a new experience for these weary old eyes."
Lotus Contiello, Countess Sybil Contiello, Count Heinrich Contiello, Lord Cyllis, Redeemer Riika, Father Babble, Barbara, Iidrra, Look, a lot of people ok? Time: 1st Day, of the 1st Month, of the Year of Rebirth. 3:00 PM
"Hmmm, you'd be correct, I don't wear clothes. It be a tad strange pulling trousers up over top a suit of armour after all." Riika laughed at this, the image in their head was quite the image after all.
Sybil smiled, she was happy to see Lotus so happy and making something of a friend in Riika. Though, how much of one was yet to be seen. Riika was the loner type, and mostly kept to themself. They didn't go out of their way to make acquaintances and usually kept at an icy distance. Most of the upper echelon knew very little of the Soulbound other than that Azegeor trusted them. How good Azegeor's word was... well it depended on who you where. Sybil honestly wasn't sure how trustworthy he was, especially due to the way he conducted his business out of the way... and far from the spotlight. However, her husband trusted him so, he couldn't be all that bad. It left Riika mostly a mystery still however other than Azegeor's trust in them. He had to trust Riika for some reason. She decided to speak up rather than remain quiet however.
"You'll find that my Lotus is quite the seamstress, Redeemer. After all, the beautiful gown I am wearing is one of her fine creations. She is quite the skilled artist. And of course, you're always welcome in my halls."
"Hmmm, I see Sybil."
"Oh, we're on a first name basis then?"
"I don't see why not."
"Hmmm, forward, matter of fact, straight to the point. I admire that in a person." Sybil gave Riika a rather lust filled look. How playful it was in meaning was only really known to Sybil. She sat back in her chair now having had addressed Riika on the matter. She basically gave her permission in the most subtle of ways possible without straight up saying it. After all, many were very touchy around the Countess. Many knew not to tread on her ground so they typically wouldn't unless given the express permission. Though from that exchange... Sybil got the feeling Riika would've done it without knowing that if they wanted to. She actually was... rather pleased knowing that. Very pleased. She licked her lips in a rather sensual way. Most weren't willing to fight her on a lot of things. Hell, she didn't know anyone that wasn't nearly frightened to death if she just walked past. It was nice to see someone who wasn't flat out scared of her for once. Well, Azegeor usually wasn't either... as far as she could tell. It was hard to tell with those that couldn't use facial expressions. She could only tell with Riika due to how lax her language was and the complete lack of any type of surprised or frightened emotion that she had addressed them. It was rather fascinating. Heinrich even stared at Riika for a second after the exchange. Even he wasn't that brazen. He was more surprised that Sybil didn't do anything about it. However he jsut went back to eating rather quickly. He didn't really say much this entire meal.
"I think I'll take ya up on that. After all, why look drab? JUst cause I don't normally got a use for clothers doesn't mean you can't do something for me." Riika said to Lotus.
