Xia was placed to bed by now, the soft sounds of her breath a constant assurance to her mother who remained within, seated by the open window and leaning her folded arms against it. A gentle wind breezed in and pushed her strawberry curls from her cheeks, revealing more of her face to the light from both moon and stars. One hand moved to twist the diamond ring on her left hand.
She missed him most when it became quiet. They had their separate lives, herself remaining busier, perhaps, than the prince himself. Then again, he had plenty to occupy his time as well. She had, in truth, only her daughter. Everything else came second. So very much came second.
Green eyes glanced toward the sea first before redirecting toward the dark outline of the Myst mountains to the north. Past the new lands of Everfrost and to the lands of Solace. Until she heard Xia move, turning her head abruptly to see that the child had only shifted her position. "My Heartling," she whispered, rising to close the window and then to her bedside, pulling the blanket further up over her.

Anduin would be off in the woods by the lake, having had finished his duties, yet not wanting to sleep just yet. He knelt down by the side of the lake, upper body bare, muscles rippling under tan skin. Black leather pants clung to his sinewy thighs and calves like a second skin as he kneeled by the lake, hands pressed together before him.
His head was bowed in silent prayer, in remembrance of one whom he had lost. After a moment of silence, Anduin lifted his head, stone-grey eyes looking out of the darkened waters as he spoke, his voice a soft whisper: After all this time, I still miss you...
Jasmine...

He gazed up into the stars as she did, nodding along with her comment. Amras remembered back to all the nights he had spent among st the treetops in his homeland, lounging among st the branches to gaze up at the same stars. It seemed so very long ago that he had been a guardian of the forest of Aria. Emerald hues turned back to her as she spoke again.
"I suppose some would mistake me for an animal in this form..."
He would nod his head to her, the flames of his mane dieing down to reveal silken strands of reddish-orange hair.
"If you want, I will not stop you."

She slowly scooted towards him. Moving her hand up, hestitating for a moment, and slowly she traced her fingers along the top of his head. Tracing along his horns..
She felt that fur of his.. smiled gently then began stroking his neck softly, as if he were a kitten on her lap.
"You know, life is not all that bad once you find that perfect person to spend it with.."
It took Angel several tries.. many BEAUTIFUL LOVING children, but she got there, and was hopfully going to stay there with Kai. The thought of Kai seemed to put a gentle blush upon her cheeks. The man was perfect in a sense. She half wondered why she didn't have him on the first try?
Thinking to herself for a moment she tilted her head back up, looking to the sky once again. Her hand never seeming to stop stroking his fur. She rather enjoyed petting a creature that talked back.. Was this how Nym felt when Angel was curled up into a ball in her lap at times?

He fell silent, eyes closing as he let her pet him. If he had actually been an animal, perhaps he would have had a purring sound, but nothing of the sort was issued from his throat.
"I don't think I want to meet the perfect person..." he said after a long while of silence finding her comment. "I wouldn't want to hurt them..."
Again he fell silent, thinking of his homeland. Amras thought of it often, though he never discussed it much. But there wasn't a day that he had where his banishment didn't go through his mind at one point.

"Or them to hurt ye.."
Tilting her head down to look at him. Running her small fingertips lightly along his fur. Smiling softly. Angel was more caring then she would like to admit. It got her hurt half the time. It was sad she wasn't allowed happiness longer then a few months.
Possibly.. Kai may be different. Letting a gentle breath escape her mouth she moved her free hand back, leaning her weight on it slightly. Right hand moving up to slowly slide against his ear.
"Tell me of something that was happiness to you.."
She didn't want to push him, she let the subject open if he wished to speak.

He fell silent for a long time at her question. Eyes even closed as he breathed slowly. He thought back on his life, as if trying to remember something that had brought him happiness. The silence lasted for a long time, and just before it became completely unbearable, his eyes opened. That voice called out softly, as soft as that demonic rumble would allow.
"Instead Angel, tell me something that was happiness for you..."

Now she wasn't expect that. She herself had her moment of slience as she half wondered when she was happy before Kai. Then she slowly smiled.
"There are nights.. when I am in dragon form. I find much comfort in just the sight of Nym. Even when I were younger.. I would stay ever so close to her."
Other moments were there, but she didn't find the time to bore him to death with such ongoings. Not yet at least..
Slowly she rubbed behind those ears. Leaning forward as she kissed ontop of his head, as a mother would her sleeping child.
"I have more moments.. but I am sure ye wish nae ta be bored ta tears.."

Amras listened to her, eyes closing again when her fingers reached behind those large ears. He thought of Nym as she was mentioned. Amras had a very vivid and fond memory of the woman. He couldn't recall what the adventure was, but he remembered walking single file through the mysts with many others. However, Nym was riding on his back.
"I would not have asked if I deemed it boring..." he said lazily.
All the petting was starting to make him feel sleepy. He yawned slightly, those jaws opening wide to reveal sharp canines before he stretched out his front paws.

"I have little times that I can truely call happy in my short life time at the moment.."
Stopping to think about it she would give a gentle sigh.
"Once upon a time I was very happily inlove with a male... one who I truely thought I would be with.. You may know him..He is a handsome Knight that goes by Anduin.."
She smiled lightly to herself, thinking back on days that she and Anduin spent together.. long long ago that is.
"In a way.. I feel... that I will always love him but dwelling on what could be is never healthy for ones soul..."
Looking down to him for a moment as she ran her nails lightly against his ear, giving him a gentle scratch.
