Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 11:59:32 AM)
*Today finds her beside the fountain with a large leather tome covered in sprawling graphs and handwritten notes. Looks to be geneology, if one is familiar with those charts at a glance. Her long hair left loose to drape over the stone seat and the grass nearby, but for the front edge of the impossible tresses, tied back so as not to hide her face. A simple black velvet choker complements the busy pattern of her gown* (( http://www.sinful-illusions.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Ras19thCentStripe.jpg ))
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 12:05:34 PM)
*Ashur and Adelyn slip through the treeline that separates the Argent Pridelands from the Tribal Lands. The pair were in the midst of some light discourse as they stepped into view. Almost immediately his eyes flitted over to the fountain where Rasia was seated, and he made a subtle course change in their meandering to send them across the yard in that direction*
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 12:08:00 PM)
Adelyn walked with Ashur and chattered with him quietly, the conversation fading as they both caught the figure at the fountain and began to approach unhurriedly. She let her Alpha lead the way, keeping to his side but just a step behind.
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 12:10:27 PM)
*as usual, his approach draws her eye, and she smiles warmly when she recognizes the pair. Marking her page carefully when she sees them move her way, she sets the book aside. Not to hide the contents, merely to give the Trueborn her full attention politely* Good afternoon, Lion's Roar-rhya, Spirit Hive-rhya. I hope you are both well?
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 12:11:20 PM)
((Sorry I'm a bit slow here, my "a" button is staging a walk-out. I'm trying to fix it. In the meantime, I have to correct my posts.))
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 12:15:32 PM)
She flashed something of a smile. "Hello, Rasia." She glanced to Ashur to guage his reaction and mood, unsure of how things may or may not shift at the change of people around him.
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 12:18:08 PM)
*He nodded slightly* "Well enough. Your Guardian wouldn't happen to be present today, is he? I'd meant to ask after some clarification from a previous instruction he gave."
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 12:22:06 PM)
*nodding politely to delyn from her seat, she looks to Ashur to let her gaze settle just under his demurely* I haven't seen him since Thanksgiving dinner. Would you like me to let him know you are seeking him, if I chance upon him?
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 12:27:28 PM)
A curious gaze glanced between them as she hadn't a clue what Ashur could be talking about. Perhaps something personal. And something complicated, no doubt.
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 12:27:49 PM)
"No. It's not a matter of any real import. If he'd been here, I'd speak to him, but no special trip need be made." *He said, raising his hand and shaking his head*
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 12:29:26 PM)
"What is it about, if I may ask?" she dared! Prying Adelyn. Tsk!
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 12:31:13 PM)
*something of curiousity in her blue eyes as it seems his packmate doesn't know the subject, but if she knows it herself, she isn't showing it* As you prefer, Lion's Roar-rhya. *acquiescing politely*
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 12:35:30 PM)
"A Klaive-Dueling technique. I practiced it in private and wasn't able to effect the same results." *He said, waving the thought off* "At any rate, writing another journal entry for him?"
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 12:39:14 PM)
No actually, researching an offshoot of the Ormanian and Tvarivich lines where they intersected two generations ago. Seems there might be a late change female descendant of the lines here. Kevin asked my assistance.
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 12:40:19 PM)
Adelyn nodded at the answer, her desire for an answer resolved. She fell silent then, listening to the two have their breezy conversation without much for interruption.
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 12:43:25 PM)
"Raising the question of why one doesn't just consult the Ancestors directly for that?" *He inquired, brow furrowed. However, before an answer can be given he shakes his head* "No matter, I suppose the busy work keeps you occupied well enough."
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 12:46:03 PM)
*she lifts her brows at the implication of the latter comment, but chooses to answer otherwise* Surely the Ancestors needn't be bothered with simple questions that a bit of reading and a phone call could suffice for. I would hate to think I'd troubled a noble fore-bearer for such a trifle.
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 12:49:05 PM)
"Do you think there is anything that can be accomplished with an Ancestor that could not be accomplished without?" *He inquires with a shake of his head* "Seeking knowledge from them is precisely what they're there for."
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 12:50:18 PM)
Ah, but for your sake, honored lord. Not for mine. *a soft smile* Or Kevin's, as said gentleman is in much the same circumstances.
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 12:51:33 PM)
"Anyhow, we won't keep you from your studying." *He motioned Adelyn to follow him as he bypassed the fountain and started toward one of the lawn tables to seat himself some few yards off*
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 12:52:26 PM)
*she hesitated a moment, before inclining her head politely to the pair*
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 12:52:26 PM)
Adelyn nodded to Rasia and followed Ashur's lead away from the fountain to a set of tables. She took a seat there and returned her eyes to Ashur. "Something on your mind?"
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 12:53:02 PM)
"In regards to?" *He inquired, only a subtle nuance in his tone suggesting agitation*
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 12:55:00 PM)
"I'm not certain. You seem tense," she said, as though he didn't always seem tense or upset or about to kill something.
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 12:55:52 PM)
*drawing the text back into her lap, she finds her bookmark and returns to her reading, as the Trueborn had suggested. Slender fingers following the lines backward from the unmarked square on the page*
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 12:57:28 PM)
"Nothing I care to relate." *He said after a moment* "What of you? I've rarely seen your brother around these past few weeks. Outside of the occasional check-in through the pack link, I'd almost believed he'd died."
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 12:58:22 PM)
"He's... doing whatever it is he does with his time." She waved a hand dismissively. "Distracted, I'm sure. We've not be incredibly active here yet, but I think we're all just getting settled in still."
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 12:59:58 PM)
*He shakes his head with frank disapproval on his features* "Nothing prohibits him or any of you from being more active. Grins at the Moon-yuf enacted a series of riddle contests at the Sept. I've committed to us to numerous excursions about the Sept and sought individual training. However, you two seem content to just dwell and immerse yourself in human culture and distance yourself from the responsibilities of the Nation." *He said, having found the outlet for frustration*
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 1:01:55 PM)
"We've had this discussion before. I don't believe I've distanced myself from the responsibilities of the nation given that I don't believe I'm so much part of human culture these days. Does it really seem that way? What are these excursions you speak of? Perhaps I could be part of them?"
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 1:04:09 PM)
"You were. I'm just disinclined to find myself constantly fielding the role that you're intended for. That spiritual operation at the warehouse with the Banes? That was something you should've spear-headed and involved us in. The spiritual world is your providence, not mine."
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 1:04:40 PM)
"We did just fine, didn't we? What was I supposed to do differently?"
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 1:05:27 PM)
"Your performance, when you bother to attend, is not what issue is taken with. It's that if you're not dragged to the situation, you simply don't involve yourself. Should I go to the Sept now, would I find word of your involvement or even appearance in the last month there?"
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 1:06:22 PM)
*continues researching in blissful ignorance, before she closes her book to rise and approach the two packmates politely, waiting for a break in their conversation before drawing too closely*
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 1:06:47 PM)
"You know how I feel about the Sept. I've not been informed of any specific purpose to venture there since I turned away with distaste." She began to be marginally short with him as her own frustration began to rise. This ... this couldn't end well.
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 1:07:50 PM)
*and as tempers rise, she finds a quiet spot to politely interject* Would either of ou care for a drink? I was just going to head inside to get one, myself.
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 1:08:04 PM)
((you))
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 1:09:00 PM)
"I didn't intend giving you leave to spend your personal time absent the Sept would result in your outright avoidance of it. Disgraceful or not, they-" *He cut himself off at Rasia's offer, raising a hand and shaking his head to the offer before continuing* "-they are still the Sept we belong to. Word of what needs accomplishing filters through there and does not go a step further to our front door for our convenience. It has to be sought out."
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 1:10:44 PM)
"I didn't intend for that result, either. But that does appear to be what has come of it. So. That leaves me forced to visit the Sept to keep up on current events. If that's what I must do, then I will do it."
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 1:11:14 PM)
"Are you a cub that I should have to tell you to do so? Why did this not come to you on its own?"
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 1:11:15 PM)
*and she inclines her head before carrying the book inside*
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 1:13:57 PM)
"I didn't realize that I had been missing so much. Now I do. No more need to lecture." The hostility was rising on her part, if not his.
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 1:14:54 PM)
"What precisely have you been doing that you weren't aware of your profound absenteeism these last months? Something constructive, I'd hope?"
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 1:15:28 PM)
*and she finds a reason to linger, replacing the book in her guardian's study and brewing tea in a leisurely fashion*
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 1:15:51 PM)
"Yes. I've been making sure that our living situation and financial security is readied and capable of holding its own. This benefits all of us."
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 1:16:12 PM)
"What then are the Kinfolk doing?" *He asked with an edge of hard sarcasm*
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 1:17:30 PM)
"The same. There are times when they need help, you know." She narrowed her eyes at his sarcasm.
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 1:19:16 PM)
"And I suppose you're the one to give it to them. It's not enough that our people are dying out rapidly, but we now need to commit our Trueborn to the menial tasks of the Kinfolk. Have you no pride in what you are? Allow them to commit themselves to their purposes and you remand yourself to yours."
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 1:20:20 PM)
"It's not a permanent thing. What am I to do when they need help? Turn them away and tell them they're on their own? What would you have me -do-?"
Ashur Morningkill (Nov 25, 2011 1:23:06 PM)
"Turn them away. Should I find myself unequal to battling an agent of the Wyrm, would I turn to them for assistance?" *He said distastefully* "We are creatures of hierarchy, purpose and order. Your apeing the actions and purpose of the Kinfolk is unbecoming a Silver Fang."
Adelyn Holt (Nov 25, 2011 1:24:21 PM)
"Fine," she said angrily, turning her eyes away. This would give Rasia just the in she was looking for if she dared to take it!
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 1:31:30 PM)
*Sadly, Rasia was inside the manse, as tpo must put kids to bed IRL*
Rasia Khitrova (Nov 25, 2011 1:31:51 PM)

*Kitten has a bag tossed over a slender sholder, ballet flats hanging out and her steps still loose and warmed up after the long class, a bit of a smile on her lips and the young kinfolk looking around the grounds quitely*
Caroline Bradford (Nov 25, 2011 11:41:03 PM)
*When Keith was gone doing his think Caroline suck back to the tribal grounds. For the most part she liked it here and she loved her rooms the Silver Elder had prepared for her so it was no wonder she was found drifting through the hallways eating a peeled orange slice by slice. Her own practice had ended hours ago, but it was more of the skating verity. Kitten was likely better at balette then Caroline was.*
Katherine Rebbecca Harper (Nov 25, 2011 11:42:49 PM)
*A couple years of classes at a cheap strip mall followed by a few more years of shakeing her little ass in sleazy clubs.. she's just spent a lot of time danceing, the little kinfolk pauseing when she hears footfalls in the hall and turning to explore, expression brighting when she sees Caroline and setting her workout bag down to bounce over to the taller woman* Hey! It's good to see you. You look great. Happy turkey day.
Caroline Bradford (Nov 25, 2011 11:47:06 PM)
*She was not sure she even heard what she thought she heard. Swiftly turning around her big brown eyes fall on one of her favorite people, taking in a breath she quickly closed the distance between the two of them swooping up kitten in a tight hug like she had not seen her in ages* Kathryn!! I have missed you so much! It is good to see you! I was just thinking about how lonely I felt and then you appear before me. Falcon always has blessed me.
Katherine Rebbecca Harper (Nov 25, 2011 11:50:37 PM)
I'm really really glad to see you too.. *She buryies her face inthe spot where Caroline's throat meets her sholder, nuzzleing in like a kitten and holding tight, sighing in pure pleasure at the embrace and leaning into the cute skater girl, saying nothing for a few moments before drawing back just a little* I missed you
Caroline Bradford (Nov 25, 2011 11:55:42 PM)
*Of course sweet and honest little Caroline never thought anything of it. She’d pet and hug her all just the same even though the Elder might not really like that sort of thing, Caroline never understood why. As she stepped back she smiled at the smaller girl* Come on then lets go catch up. Your hair looks really pretty did you do something different with it?
Katherine Rebbecca Harper (Nov 25, 2011 11:57:21 PM)
*A shy smile and reaching up to bounce it a little* I'm growing it out a little more and I've been takeing better care of it.. I used to dye it more often.. ooh! And I'm not around ciggeret smoke much now.. so.. you know? *She nods up to Caroline, leaning in and smileing, captureing one of Caroline's hands to hold gently* Let's go to the kitchen?
