Lore: Searching: Part 3 (mature)

In two words? Jury-rigged. Everything in Emanon is jury rigged, half of the stuff doesn't work half the time and the other halves are rarely seen. The complex itself was built long ago, before the Queen Wars and everything else that is recent history. Believed to be an old abandoned Dwarven fortress. Why it was built is unknown, but even more troubling is the fact that no one seems to know why it was abandoned. However, what is known, is that recently it has been reopened and people have come to live in its walls once more, though only the upper levels have been thus colonized.

Mitsukai smiled softly up at Skye. She grabbed her shirt again and started to wash it more. She grin playfully.

"Wanna help me clean my wings?" she said giggling. "it gets awefully hard to get inbetween the feathers by myself."

"All right then," he said, smiling. He walked forward and pushed her in the tub, water spilling on the floor.

"Gotta get wet for me to clean them," he mused, laughing lightly.

Mitsukai gasped and held her breath as Skye pushed her under. She came back up sputtering but smiling. She stretched her wings so he had easier access to them and continued with her clothes.

"Tomorrow maybe, we could ask around about the seer." she said, a happy tune in her voice. "I know Locaille said most of the seers are dead, but I don't think I can believe that. I don't have any feeling that the one were looking for is dead."

He smiled as he started to clean her wings, careful not to harm the wound from when she was pierced with an arrow. He was thankful that Locaille had fixed it so that she could fly again, but he still didn't trust him.

"Yeah, I don't think Locaille is all that he says he is. He probably doesn't know much of anything," he said, smiling. "I'm sure someone around here is bound to know where a seer is."

Mitsukai shrugged. "Either way we'll still ask around. If we have to head back where we came, then so be it." she said sternly. She was now scrubbing her skirt, which was tatterred from battle and travel damage. She sighed lightly but relaxed into Skye's skillful hands. She was amazed at how well he was doing at cleaning her wings.

"You're doing a very good job." she remarked lovingly to him.

"Thanks," he said with a smile. He moved his fingers carefully over the feathers, cleaning between them and being careful not to hurt her. He didn't have wings, so he didn't know if they were sensitive or not. "But I wouldn't worry too much about it. You just have to be positive, and everything will turn out all right."

Mitsukai nodded. Despite her doubt, she had the feeling that they were about to come across what they were looking for. Outside, the seer Gwedolyn was visting a friend across the road. After her daughter and her group had left she had felt the need to be around another person beside Naoki-who, in the end had married but stayed on as Gwendolyn's assistant.

Gwendolyn had the small flash of sight while she sat on the porch of her dear friend's house. She smiled softly after the image and proceeded to wait until they came to her.

He finished cleaning her wings and stepped back. "I think I got them clean enough," he said before he yawned. "I'm about to go to sleep. How about you?"

It had been a long day, though. And he knew that it would be another long day ahead of them. This whole finding a seer thing wasn't as easy as it seemed to be.

Mitsukai nodded, rinsed of the rest of her belongings and herself, and stepped out unshamedly next to Skye. She dumped the tub and grabbed a towel to dry herself off. She smiled at him cutely.

"To bed then!" she exclaimed, though she wasn't really tired.

Skye nodded and kissed her on the cheek with a smile before leaving the bathroom. He walked over to the bed and collapsed on it, landing face first onto the matress.

"You don't seem all that tired," he commented, his voice muffled from laying face down on the bed.

Mitsukai, still in the towel, collapsed next to Skye one the bed. She smiled at him and shook her head.

"I can still lay next to you." she grinned at him and moved closer to him. She stroked his face and started humming to him. "You sleep, ok?"

He turned his head to look at her and smiled, his fingers gently stroking the edge of her towel. "I'll get some sleep then," he said, closing his eyes. "Big day tomorrow."

Mitsukai smiled and nodded. She leaned over to kiss his nose and snuggled close to him. She closed her eyes in vain, but aat least she could pretend to sleep while thinking of what would come.

Below, Elgorh was consuming his dinnermeal. He was as relaxed as he could be, knowing his own life was on the line if he did not find the fallen. Two maids came into his room replacing towels and fresh new clothes for him, they were chattering about something he did not care for until--

"Big black wings she had!" said the auburn haired maid. "Hair so very white... she was beautiful, in a surreal way."

"INteresting." the blonde murmmered to her companion. "But what of the man she was with? Wasn't he handsome?" They both sighed and clapped their hands around their bundles of used towels before exiting.

So, Thought Elgorh, The little fallen is here... very nice...

((Skye: I'm handsome? *grins* Me: *rolls eyes* Thanks for boosting his ego. Skye: *making faces in the mirror* Me: -_-"))

He fell asleep almost immediately, not having any nightmares throughout the night. He awoke, though, just before dawn. He wrapped his arms around Mitsukai and pulled her close to him. He suddenly had a feeling of dread in the pit of his stomach, the same feeling he had had earlier that night. He wondered if she was asleep.

OOC: erm...-hides-

Mitsukai fell asleep dreaming of her once white wings and her brothers. She missed them, though she wouldn't show that pain to Skye. Unlucky for her, tears were falling from her closed eyes during her dream.
