[Game Thread] Twin Shields

[kaylara]

After Aira changed forms.

In her dragon form, Aira is of medium size, weighing 320lbs with an overall length of 16', her body is 6' long with a 5' long neck, her tail reaches a length up to 5' and the width of her body at approximately 3'. Aira stands at a height of 4', her wing span covers 30' when fully extended with a minimum span of 12'. Her scales are mostly silver with some slightly blue-gray highlights that shows she is still young. At first glance, she appears very similar to the white dragon. However, her wings are more curved than a white's and she has two talons on her wings rather than a single talon that most dragons have.

The biggest sign of her heritage is the beautiful frill that begins at the top of her head and flows all the way down her neck and body to the tip of the tail. The frill is silver towards the body, fading to a purple hue at the edge.

Aira has two long, smooth silver horns with black tips, pointing up and back from the head with a pronounced sharp frill under the chin that resembles a goatee.

 

She nodded in acceptance of his rules than replied, Hmph, little prepares to power attackdragon? as she charged the knight,

Aira looks over him, You fight well, I'm curious. Your horse appeared from no where. Is he summoned? If so, then next time we spar, would I need to hold back on him? or would be alright to kill him and make him vanish, one way to un-summon?

OOC lol sure a nat 20 on UMD... figures... in any case, I'm glad her damage was low, else that could have either been one less hit, or gone real bad. She halted her attacks so she does not accidentally kill you.

Good spar mylord. You skill on your steed is quite impressive. for today she had leaned that sometimes the threat is the mount and the lord learns that a bite attack is not the only primary attack but to look out for the claws.

Louis wipes off his blade before stowing it in his scabbard. Glancing at the latter, he thinks quizzically about the heroine's answer. However, he's busy reining back his indignant stallion to give it much thought. Snapping his teeth in the dragonness' direction, Tencedor snorts angrily at her question about him. "There, there, boy, she doesn't know," he pats and soothes his steed's mane. Turning back to the pretty wyrm, he tells her very seriously: "The short answer is no, m'lady. Tencedor here is not a summoned creature, as such. While a ... gift from the upper planes, he is a native of this plane and can die as any other. Moreover, as part of the gift, he is bonded to me, which strengthens him and let's me call him to my side, to last until the heavens see fit to grant me another. Prematurely ending it with his death, while certainly saddening, the backlash thereof would leave me winded for about a month. So, again, no, m'lady, I'd appreciate it if you didn't kill my horse," a smirk creeping beneath his dry reply.

Aira still looked firm and strong despite the beating she took during the sparring session. Fearsome? We were only sparring Mylord. Though my scales are turning nice and silvery. One should not feel feared less they anger me or are bent to evil ways. she paused a moment at that though then mentioned, Well, unless its my mother or father that you anger. Even I try to run then. she chuckled. Too bad they are no longer here, perhaps one day we could travel and visit them.

Aira smiled as the waves of healing energies washed over her. Thank you Lady Anastasia for the healing. as most of her wounds were closed leaving only minor scrapes as Aira shifts back into her human form.

Knowing the horse is still inferior to herself, she turns to Tencedor, Oh, my apologies Tencedor, now that I know this. It seems our goals are similar. I will try and protect you as well so together we can protect Lord Louis. Don't you agree? she waited for a nod, a nudge or something from him as she offers a hand to pet his mane.

After working things out with Tencedor, Aira looks back to Lord Louis. Well, so what are your thoughts about me now? Still willing to travel tomorrow?

The master healer looks over the heroine and nods with a sweet smile: "You're welcome, dearie. Nothing left that a good night's sleep won't fix. I can't rightly let an honored guest bleed all over herself, even if she insists on getting herself all cut up," she sighs wearily.

The stallion eyes warily the heroine before offering a grudging snort and nod. As Aira offer a hand toward him, the stallion looks to its master questioningly. Louis dismounts and gives him an encouraging look. Tencedor rolls his eyes (a curious sight on a horse), but he lets her pet his mane.

She turns back to the knight, now looking unscathed, save for some blood stains that Katherine is Prestidigitation cantripwaving away. He seems considering some question to himself when she draws him from his thoughts. "Of course, m'lady, looking forward to the morrow," says Louis, tendering a cordial smile.

[kaylara]

Aira petted the stallion for a moment, before Lord Louis addressed her. She smiled and gave him a hug, Thank you for the lesson and opportunity. I shall be ready after breakfast.

Turning to address Lady Anastasia, Aira thanks her once again. While thanking her, Aira glances back over her shoulder while raising a brow and looking at Lord Louis. I hope I did not hurt his pride and he will not look at me differently now. as she began to feel a little flush, she just smiles and bows before the great healer and Lord Louis.

If you need me for any reason, feel free to summon me. as she

performed a gracious exit.

[dbaque]

Surprised at the hug, the Lord of Nichen takes a second before returning it, only a tad awkwardly. Stepping back, he cordially offers with a bow: "My pleasure. Until the morrow then. Pleasant dreams, m'lady." His two kinswomen likewise curtsy their good nights to her.

As best Aira can tell, Lord Louis doesn't seem hurt or sore toward her, and certainly not scared or wary. He's just pensive about something regarding her. As she leaves for her room, she sees Louis leading his steed down another hallway, doubtlessly to put him back in the stables. The night is otherwise quiet with the Galliberos family until breakfast in the morning.

[kaylara]

The evening was peaceful for Aira as she sat in her bed, gazing out the window to the open star lit sky for awhile. Tomorrow will be a new day, let it be one of the best. as she laid her head down to rest.

Waking up early in the morning, Aira cleaned up and prepared her things before heading down to breakfast dressed in her armor.

Good morning. I take it the evening went well? she said to the Ladies as Aira formally takes her seat and joins them in awaiting Lord Louis.
