[ If you looked up at the sky in the last hour or so you may have noticed the dragon that was flying about, spreading her wings and all that. She couldn't help herself anymore, she needed to fly.

And once she was done stretching her wings and all that jazz she landed nearby the castle, clearly not giving a crap about subtly. Then the dragon started to glow and in a brilliant light display shifted into a woman.

So now there's a lady where a dragon once stood idly stretching her human limbs on the lawn. Whatever will you do? ]

Oh? May I ask what it is?

[efflare.livejournal.com]

Knocrye.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[and he lets that run through his head a few times as if tasting the word]

Why do you go by another name?

[efflare.livejournal.com]

I spent a lot of time within a royal court. I did not wish the court sorcerer to know my name should the worse were to come to pass and my true nature be revealed.

Names can be used to trap people, to control them, should you know the right spell.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

Mm. Then, I am honored that you've deemed me fit to share it with.

[efflare.livejournal.com]

It is my hope that you continue to prove yourself fit to know of it.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[oh, he might be giving the big monstrous dragon one of those looks]

Any ideas of how I can begin to prove my worth?

[efflare.livejournal.com]

A few come to mind.

[he just... says nothing, and takes back his necklace, refastening it around his neck. Still smirking it up]

[efflare.livejournal.com]

Better?

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

Much.

[tucking the necklace back into his shirt]

I find this form far more convenient.

[efflare.livejournal.com]

You're right, it certainly is.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[heh.]

Do you want to go for a walk?

[efflare.livejournal.com]

I'd love too.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[and he's just going to saunter off in the direction of the tower, expecting her to follow]

It's a little chilly out here though, don't you think?

[efflare.livejournal.com]

Mm, there definitely a chill to the air. It would be better if we went inside.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

You know... at first, I very much disliked the idea of being housed in this tower.

But, as far as cages go, I have to admit that it has some fascinating features.

[efflare.livejournal.com]

It is certainly a gilded cage, you could almost forget the bars are even there.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[glancing at her as they walk]

Have you gotten to do much exploring of the tower yet?

[efflare.livejournal.com]

No, I ventured into the mountains rather than spend time exploring the tower.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

Oh, well then.

[smile]

There are some places you must see.

[efflare.livejournal.com]

And I assume you'll be happy to show me them?

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

Unless you have something that you would rather do instead?

I just thought I would show you while we're off exploring.

[efflare.livejournal.com]

You'll be happy to know then, that there is nothing else that I would rather be doing right now.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[heh... he does seem pleased to hear that.]

Excellent.

Then, I know just what I want to show you first.

[into the lobby and up the stairs!]
