Vess frowned a little before she nodded and laid out on a couch facing them and she interlaced all of her fingers across her belly.<span style="color: #00ffff">"i already told you the big stuff. i am your daughter with Saravess, my dad insisted on naming me Saravess junior, mom liked to roll her eyes about that one, i go by Vess. i am a mage and a priestess though i hold to no particular religion what with growing up calling Elune aunty. i hated literally all the poetry aunt Sharindia made me learn but when i get drunk my family liked to call me the lisping poet though i will deny all knowledge of those nights until the day i die. do not ever ask me to sing unless you enjoy bleeding from your eyes, ears and nose and if anyone steals my scales i will take fingernails in kind. umm... i had a fiance but going by how young Amber is he might not even be born yet, i still haven't had time to talk to aunt Sharindia to figure out exactly what the date is but i miss him terribly. i miss all of my family but i am glad i get to know all of you. my favorite class was math."</span>Relene made a gagging sound that made Saravess smirk.<span style="color: #00ffff">"i remember you doing that a lot in school. things will get better when she starts teaching you how to work with your powers. umm, my dad taught me to hunt, i am a killer marksman with dual  crossbows... this one time Relene and i decided to prank dad, i made these special arrows and i pierced both my sister's ears from fifty yards just as dad came around the corner, he nearly died of a heart attack and Elune scolded us so hard i swear she made me shed my skin early. though to be fair it was mostly your idea Relene, you are quite the malicious prankster."</span>Relene grinned devilishly and nodded. "<span style="color: #00ffff">just don't put the hair dye in Sharindia's shampoo, she made you do five hundred math problems for that one and if you dye Amber bright orange she will cry."</span>Relene frowned but nodded.<br/><br/>Ophidian nodded and while his cooking still didn't rival Ras' it should be quite good.<span style="color: #ff8000"> "food is one of the pleasures of life."</span>he smirked a little and shook his head.<span style="color: #ff8000"> "i like what few veggies i eat chopped, i think it improves the texture more then neatly slicing them."</span><br/><br/>Ashia nodded and gave The'kal a firm squeeze.<span style="color: #404040">"yeah, she was kinda freaking out, i don't think she can take much more stress. fair enough."</span>she bit her lip and shook her head.<span style="color: #404040">"no, i think she would freak the hell out. Anna spent at least half an hour convincing Athena to even give Order a chance, in fact i recommend that you avoid her until after Order fixes her."</span><br/><br/>there was a delay before Rachel opened the door but instead of her normal garb she had on plain, normal clothing and was without her sword.<span style="color: #0000ff">"yes, i am awake, i have been busy sifting through the wreckage of my life while my pet went out of her way to further stress her body and make me angry."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
