~Gydion~, Play. Travel. Rule.

Zeno couldn't say he was surprised as to how that had turned out. At least he hadn't gotten a fireball to the face this time. What DID surprise him, however, was what had put her into that state.

He understood most of what her vision entailed. It seemed that the two of them would go in, but only he would leave... intact, at least. He had no idea what the bits having to do with her meant. Secretly he was relieved that he wasn't going to end up like his Master, but at the same time he was worried for her.

"I'm still not sure I understand," he said when she had finished explaining. "I think I understand part of it... the two of us will go in, but only I'm getting out, or something. I have no clue as to what the rest of it means... I've never been good at understanding visions or dreams. I just Walk them." He scratched his head and shrugged. "Anyways... care to explain what it all means?"

[DragonMirror]

Vintessa smiled a crooked, trembling smile that lasted for a second or so. She was 'surprised' Zeno couldn't do EVERYTHING.

"Well," she said in a still-shaky voice,"The red and white dots? Red signifies pain or passage, but it couldn't be passage, because I already did the ceremony. And white...white means divines--Elven GODS! But why would they touch my life?!" she cried, almost hysterical.

[Jesen]

Zeno blinked, taking this in. He knew a cursory amount about the Elven gods, but had never really focused on it. He tried to make the most of his life on this world, rather than the one beyond, so the gods didn't interest him much. And given that he wasn't Elven, he had payed even less attention to them than he had to the human gods. Still, he could tell she needed comfort right now, and that he was well equipped to give her.

He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her in close, letting her rest against him. "They say things happen for a reason, right? Perhaps they see something in you that you don't see in yourself." He shrugged. "But more to the point... the change doesn't happen until we go into the cavern, right? So anything that happens won't happen for a while. Nothing anyone can do about the future, so you might as well take things as they come."

He smiled. "Roll with the punches, ya know? Don't just stand there rigid and let them floor you, be loose and get back up. What'll happen will happen, and there's not much either of us can do about it. Might as well enjoy the trip, eh?" He grinned. "Why worry about the possible dangers far off in the distance, when there's a beautiful garden all around you? Look and enjoy where you are, and worry about the bears when they arrive."

[DragonMirror]

((I want your cheesy dragon...))

Vintessa smiled at his analogy, then waved him back to bed. "Everything's ready. Might as well leave tomorrow, eh?"

[Jesen]

((Thanks. Still searching for a gold, though...))

Zeno stood up and nodded. "Fine by me. Sleep well." He shut the door quietly behind him and returned to bed.

It took a bit for him to fall asleep, but eventually he did. One of the maids was having a flying dream, those were always fun to watch.

[Jesen]

((We still doing this?))

[ariaalina]

((As far as I know, I'm just waiting till it's morning for our characters... ))

[jesschen]

((can I join or is it too late?))

[Jesen]

((You probably could, jesschen, though I'm waiting on DragonMirror to post again before I go any further.))

[DragonMirror]

((agh! Yes, you can join, just try reading over everything to make sure you know what you're talking about. sorry guys, I've been infatuated with Sims 3 ))

The clear grey light of another dawn fell in through the frosty windows and spread throughout the room. A shaft of light fell on the sleeping form of Vintessa, and brought with it an awakening.

She woke with a start, entangled in a heavy blanket, and blinked her piercing lime eyes. Lime eyes--she was hungry. Rising from the big, curtained bed, the elven lady padded silently to the kitchen, where she began to cook breakfast.

[Jesen]

((Welcome back from Sims Land lol))

Zeno awakened to the smell of food cooking. His stomach announced that it needed to be fed with a loud growl. Taking the hint, he got up and dressed quickly, then padded to the kitchen.

He smiled at Vintessa. "Good morning to you. Do you need any help cooking that? It smells delicious."

[DragonMirror]

((OMFG you got a fricking halloween egg. CUURRSSEEE YOOOOUUUU))

Vintessa smiled over her shoulder at him and waved him away. "I doubt you know the finer points of GOOD Elven cooking," she teased, then turned back to the pan.

[Jesen]

((I got VERY lucky lol... I've never seen such a rush before. Not even last Christmas. o_o))
((And I need to figure out why I didn't get a notification that there was an update. =/))

Zeno grinned. "You're probably right about that." He took a seat at the table, contenting himself to watching as she prepared breakfast. His stomach announced again that it was growing impatient, he ignored it. Hunger was just another one of those things he'd learned to live with.

[ariaalina]

((I'm going to wait a bit longer before continuing, but congradulations on the Halloween egg Jeschen! By the way, I also didn't get an update notification TT_TT))
