Neck tilted as his lips traveled across her darker skin. There was a small scar the shape of a star the lower his lips traveled along her neck. And many other marks of battle and small burns along her flesh that he might find as they went along. The strangest being an ancient looking marking...

He tasted like she'd expected. Like steel and adventure. She didn't pull away from his grasp. Then a smile as quick and as sharp as one of her daggers. She could feel Andor in the back of her mind, muting their connection for privacy, though there was a slight grumble along their bond...

Her eyes lightened at his smile. “It is rare to meet someone like you, Alyx.” She tried the nickname on her tongue. And it felt as if she’d uttered his name in another lifetime. Just like that. Rare to meet someone as honorable as he. As one who cares for his men and women like he did. One...

Her attention diverted from the pages of the fanciful book back to the commander. A thoughtful quiet look from eyes that many would find hard holding a gaze with for long. "Dornoch?" A bit of surprise for a moment. Funnily enough, she thought that city was as exotic as he probably thought...

The soldier/spy made no comment about his state of dress. Or rather undress. She'd seen far more in her time and was a long cry from the definition of a noble, gentile lady. Stepping up close to him, she took the leather-bound book carefully in her hands. Long fingers gently tracing over the...

Almond-shaped eyes with flecks more golden in this light studied the knight commander. The shadows in the room almost seemed to shift. Just for a moment, as if they too, were holding their breath for her response. "I don't think the Jarlax will be a problem anymore." A quiet statement. At...

She grimaced as he spoke. "They are gods in their own right, not beasts." A gentle correction as she stood. Fingers came up to motion to her shoulder. Beneath her tunic were the wrappings of only a few hours ago. Her wounds still healing. "It seems we both can offer an expression of...

She frowned behind him. Knee pressed against the mattress of the bed they shared. His nearly naked form still hunched over. She carefully and quickly applied the rest of the antidote. The angry red and welt of his wounds already receding with the serum's touch of only a few seconds. It...

The Last Chance Inn was full of wonder and surprises. Enough so that Virdan knew a certain kind of magic, perhaps ancient and powerful, was at play. And while that put her on more of an edge than she normally tread, it was keeping her and Virdan safe from the Jarlax for the time being. So...

Expression remained unreadable at his quip of sarcasm. As if she had a thousand years of patience from teaching students, she remained quietly staring at him. Her eyes seemed more golden in the lowlight of the Inn than they had before. At the invitation to come in, she slid beyond the...

Andor snuffed and dipped his massive head in approval as he lumbered into the room. Virdan turned and gave them each a quick nod. Somehow she knew no more attacks would happen tonight. And she imagined that would be the last of the jarlax for this Inn to see on this trip. "Thank you both,"...

"You do not tame dragons," Virdan said softly. "If you are lucky enough, one chooses you." Her hand stroked down the side of Andor. He huffed, looking at Ennio and growled in a non-threatening way. A moment later, a massive golden goblet appeared with some sort of liquid. Andor bent his...

Virdan walked up to her medium-sized moon dragon. Andor quickly tipped his black head toward her. "I'm fine," she reassured her bonded, letting her fingers linger on his scales. A huff of warm breath that surrounded her from his nostrils. "No I believe them to be friends." Finally, she...

A silent look to the knight followed by the smallest of nods. She was used to working alone. But there wasn't time to argue or to disappear. The Last Chance was proving to be a curiouser and curiouser place. One that made her head spin a little or perhaps that was the loss of blood. A pause...

The creature Alyx slayed fell backward with a gurgling snarrel - body suddenly stilled. Dead. A quick darting glance from where they'd come from. The door to her room had closed suddenly and in its place was a wall. Head shook slightly. Perhaps she'd hit the wall harder than she thought and...
