((Welome back!))

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 3:16:14 PM)
((Okay, transition made. Making a sandwich and then you've my whole attention. =) ))

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 3:19:48 PM)
*seated beside the low fountain, she has a pencil and a ledger for a change, instead of her calligraphy or simple birdwatching. It looks to be some manner of accounting, a small calculator tucked on the bench beside her. Her hair is coiffed loosely in a tumble of curls to her right side, showing off the low square neckline of her gown. For once, the color truly showcases her eyes, drawing the eye to their startling hue and flattering the pale color of her skin. Corseted and poised properly, she always seems slightly unreal set against the modern backdrop of her surroundings.* ((Today's dress: http://www.sinful-illusions.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Ras19thCentBlue.jpg ))

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 3:25:15 PM)
*Ashur approaches through his usual avenue- the treeline separating the Argent Pridelands and the Silver Fang Tribal lands. There's a fresh-washed look about him, and his clothes look like they'd seen recent care and cleaning as well, though it was the same over-worn suit of dedicated jeans, tennis shoes and t-shirt that he was never absent from. With the moon waned so drastically, even from afar his temperment seemed light and absent (some) of the usual agitation, facts noted by his stride and stance as much as anything else external*

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 3:29:36 PM)
*reduced or not, she's alert enough to lift her head and gaze in the direction of his appearance, smiling gently. She'd recognize that one..anywhere. Fortunately, she's not paying particular attention to the implications of that* Good afternoon Lion's Roar-rhya. I do hope you are well? *the sun warm on the rich color she wears, she's able to forgo the usual shawl or stole*

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 3:31:59 PM)
*Not quite a smile, but a softened expression when he noted her* "Lady Rasia." *He answered, the honorific rare from him* "The weather's fair, the Pridelands are maintained and none under me are poorly or ailing. Altogether yes, it's a fine a day as any that could be asked for."

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 3:35:46 PM)
*her own smile blossoms in that faint encouragement, his mood and the rare courtesy he showed lighting her expression with pleasure* I am pleased to hear it, honored sir. Though I cannot imagine your territory in anything but stellar condition, given your reputation, Lion's Roar-rhya. Have you plans to enjoy this fine resurgence of summer we find ourselves in?

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 3:41:09 PM)
*He glances skyward at the sparse cloud coverage and the uncharacteristically fair sky* "No, not today. I actually meant to find you here today." *He paused in his approach, now a scant couple of yards away and voice at a conversational level*

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 3:44:42 PM)
*she tilts her head curiously at that, but is just polite enough not to blurt her silly questions. Instead, she closes the ledger and sets it with the calculator and pencil to her side to show he has her complete attention. Though in truth, she'd not glanced at the numbers since his arrival* And so you have, Lion's Roar-rhya. I am honored. *an easy smile, though her eyes are alight with her curiousity*

And so you have, Lion's Roar-rhya. I am honored. *an easy smile shared with him, though her eyes are alight with curiousity*

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 3:50:53 PM)
"I wanted to inquire if you'd found occasion to speak with Conquer's Luna's Ferocity-rhya on my part yet and to what outcome did that have?" *There was an exuberant eagerness about him that washed away some of the harder times from his countenance and indicated his real age of only a scant few years past his teenage ones*

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 3:53:34 PM)
I passed on that you had been seeking him on a manner of import, and he said he would be sure to find you as soon as he was available to speak. *she answers immediately, she'd remembered his message, and to word the request in such a way that the actual request for tutelage was yet in his hands*

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 3:56:09 PM)
*A flicker of a smile touched his thin lips and he shook his head* "Had I sought to engage you as an intermediary at the first, I might've shaved weeks off of the time spent waiting." *He remarked ruefully before setting his gaze back on Rasia* "...thank you."

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 3:59:09 PM)
*a brilliant smile returned* I am simply pleased I was able to facilitate your request in some small way. You're quite welcome, honored sir. *there might be a little good humor in her eyes at that, but she's not cruel enough to tease him outright for his reluctance* It is..a delicate undertaking of etiquette, I understand that you didn't know me enough to trust me with such.

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 4:07:22 PM)
"Etiquette played a role in it, to be certain, but there was still a measure of stubborn hostility that forestalled me." *He paused and set his gaze on her* "I fear I haven't treated you fairly since we've met and a sight worse than either your Breeding or your kindness on the return has warranted from me."

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 4:14:54 PM)
*she lowers her gaze demurely* I have not always succeeded in being so kind as I might have attempted, Lion's Roar-rhya. I am curious though, is there some reason for the hostility you believe you held? I would like to know how to soothe such in the future, if I may. *and as neither has technically apologized for such, she merely softens her smile and lifts her eyes back to rest just shy of his, caution first in the face of this new amicable Ashur*

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 4:18:11 PM)
*He doesn't immediately answer and the hesitation is readily apparent* "For reasons petty and beneath me, simultaneously mundane and embarrassing." *He finally said with little more than a helpless shrug* "But ultimately undeserving for you."

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 4:25:12 PM)
*she studies him a moment longer, then nods lightly, accepting what the Trueborn offers of course. Despite her wish to know the details* ...*she parts her lips as if to ask something, then bites her lip instead, keeping it to herself and changing tracks* Thank you for saying such, Lion's Roar-rhya. I am honored to be deemed worthy of your esteem, in some small fashion. *a soft smile, acknowledging that it's hardly "renown"*

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 4:48:01 PM)
.

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 4:54:22 PM)
*He nods at her thanks and motions toward the tablet in her hand* "I'm not intruding on some correspondence, am I?"

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 4:55:47 PM)
*she shakes her head* No, not at all. I was rebalancing my cousin's books to find out if it's poor math or a malicious employee causing his financial troubles. It's nothing that can't hold.

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 4:58:00 PM)
*His eyes linger consideringly on the papers a moment longer before flickering back up to her face* "Take a walk with me then?" *He offers tilting his head toward the short field that led to the treeline*

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 5:03:04 PM)
*lifting her head a tic at that, following his gaze and then returning to his face with a soft smile* I'd love to, Lion's Roar-rhya. *and she offers her hand toward him before rising, so that she might stand properly in her gown, rather than tip forward in an ungainly fashion*

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 5:07:48 PM)
*His command of etiquette seeming to shift back and forth, there was a pause before he noted her hand and intent and he offered his own for support in her rise. Hard fingers marred with light scars and thick callouses gripped a little too tight*

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 5:12:27 PM)
*her expression tightens somewhat, but she bears it without comment, stepping up beside him before she lifts her wrist, cueing him to release her..if that's his intent* Thank you, honored sir. *her own fingers slender and unmarked, soft with neat oval nails and not a hint of paint or chemicals, her scent fresh and tinged with something faintly floral..an iris perhaps. She has no scar anywhere that he can see, nor callous other than a slight hardening of her knuckle on her right middle finger. From writing.*

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 5:17:33 PM)
*He releases her when she indicates, the subtle grimace passing unnoticed by him. He waits a moment for her to situate before turning to start into the trimmed grass of the field at her side*

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 5:23:41 PM)
*a brush of her hand across the skirtfront, and she follows barely a half-step behind him. Just far enough that his motions can dictate where they walk, yet close enough that he can see her and converse easily* Are your packlands similarly arranged, Lion's Roar-rhya? Or are you closer to the waters I am told soak through the area near here..?

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 5:26:43 PM)
"The far end of our Packlands does sport a bit of marsh, but by and large it's heavily wooded. Behind the estate several of our Kinfolk and the other Garou maintain a small garden around Lord Firemane's shrine." *He glances back at the estate as they walk* "It's far less grand than the Tribal Lands, but... still suitable for a Silver Fang."

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 5:31:16 PM)
*she follows his gaze with her own, smiling lightly at the manse and then at his comment* I am sure Conquers Luna's Ferocity would not have insulted you with unbecoming territory. I am..used to the manse here, I admit it. My own family's home is similar in many ways. But for the proliferation of Trueborn who remain nearby. We were..further from the sept. And my father's pack was far from home.

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 5:37:30 PM)
"It does my pride little favor to be 'granted' land as opposed to staking our claim and defending it." *He said, unclear of whether he meant pride or Pride* "But relations are won in such a way, I suppose." *He considers his comment and glances back toward her* "It's been a number of days since I've seen Fast and Fair-yuf. The day we shared your company mutually, if I recall correctly. Has he enjoyed your presence since?"

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 5:40:38 PM)
*she lifts her brows curiously at his clarification* Are you planning to expand it out further then? *a slight smile to his reason for accepting that land. His following question has her brows high in surprise though* ... No. Since you mention it, I don't believe I have seen him after that evening either. *clearly she was caught off-guard by that, the gentleman in question hadn't crossed her mind enough for her to realize he'd been missing.*

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 5:47:44 PM)
"We've the intent of finding the owners of the outlying areas and purchasing them, yes. Less a question of genuine expansion and peace of mind knowing that the outlying area is ours as well." *He shakes his head at her answer* "Though I've little surprise that he's been absent. He's touted his pack's arrival soon and establishing packlands and winning Sept membership is likely absorbing the lion's share of his attention."

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 5:55:42 PM)
If I may assist in any way, tracking down the mortal property records so that those gifted by Luna are not exposed to their scrutiny, please let me know. *considering the excuse for the absent Fang thoughtfully, but without signs of approval or disapproval either way* Perhaps.. *she nods and then tits her head to look up to him and add* Of course, these are obstacles you have already dealt with, yourself. You would be more familiar with the demands of such, than I.

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 5:55:50 PM)
((Sorry about that. Kid woke up briefly))

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 5:57:12 PM)
((You needn't apologize for any AFKs to me of all people.))

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 5:58:53 PM)
((lol Ahh you are still the king of Afk. I can't have it look like I'm challenging for your title. ^_~))

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 5:59:16 PM)
(( -.- Don't make me friend-divorce you.))

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 6:02:06 PM)
*He nods slightly* "We may just engage you in that. We've a number of business-minded Kin of our own, and Spirit Hive-yuf has always had a good head for numbers and finance, but a second set of experienced eyes couldn't harm." *He waves away the notion of Evgeni* "There was a time I'd hoped to have him stand with me... if only because I saw the trappings of a potential rival. Circumstance has installed him as one regardless of any intent of mine. He mentioned that someday we'd have to find one another in challenge, but... I've a sense that things won't resolve without blood being shed between us."

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 6:12:59 PM)
*whatever thoughts Rasia might have of the lawyer and the soldier coming to blows, she keeps to herself. Only concern in her wide eyes.* Surely your differences are not so grave as to reach that extent? I have heard of so many threats from without, to allow fracturing within the Tribe seems such a waste..

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 6:17:33 PM)
"I wouldn't aim to kill him... but nor would I discount the eventuality of it as a possibility. Fast and Fair-yuf is twinned to me in many ways, not the least of which is his baring as an Alpha. With our opposing views and temperments, dominance is going to have to be exerted. And I don't think either of us will accept the outcome shy of a throating." *His eyes were set forward as they neared the edge of the treeline and he shifted direction to walk the circumference without physically leaving the Tribal Lands with her* "Though... I suppose I give you undue worry. I know you favor him."

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 6:22:59 PM)
*she'd listened attentively to the breakdown of authority, as it were..but can't help the inadvertant laugh at his last statement. She covered her mouth quickly, cheeks pink as she shakes her head* Lion's Roar-rhya..you made mention of such previously as well. I am not sure where you are gathering this information. As I have spent even less time in the company of Fast and Fair-rhya as I have your own. *she lowers her hand to reveal the bemused smile, but she's no longer laughing at all*

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 6:28:53 PM)
*His brow furrowed slightly at the laughter, a reflexive stiffening and indignation marring his features. Yet, before he commented, she spoke and he found the words quelling in his throat. He was silent a moment longer before speaking* "Perhaps I did read the extent and nature of your involvement with him wrong after all."

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 6:42:24 PM)
*she does nod to confirm that much* I'm sorry I laughed, Lion's Roar-rhya, truly. The idea of favoring him is little more likey than the idea I'd grow enamored with a perfect stranger. Given the circumstances, it came out of the blue.

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 6:47:14 PM)
((10 minute warning. I am dying here. It's almost 1am and I have to be functional in 6 hours. I logged Lukas off half an hour ago. ^_^))

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 7:00:29 PM)
((Sorry!))

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 7:00:41 PM)
((And I don't know how long ago that ten minute warning was. >.>))

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 7:01:00 PM)
((Is okay! lol Oh.. about 20. But I waited for you. ^_^))

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 7:01:04 PM)
((But! I have tomorrow off of work. If you have some time then we can play?))

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 7:01:12 PM)
((You have Monday off??))

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 7:01:19 PM)
((Jes.))

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 7:01:37 PM)
((Cool! I am up for that. I'll be up early with kids..intermittent till I get the big one off to school.))

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 7:01:54 PM)
((See ya in 6.5 hours!))

Ashur Morningkill (Nov 20, 2011 7:02:06 PM)
((See you then! *screenshots* We can pick up where we left off.))

Rasia Khitrova (Nov 20, 2011 7:02:51 PM)
((Awesome! *did the same*))
