Shauna smiled happily and kissed Saerwynn's cheek.<span style="color: #ffff00"> "see? this family may be crazy but sometimes things really work out nicely."</span><br/><br/>Sharindia shook her head as Kitori broke down in tears and she leaned back with a sigh.<span style="color: #003366">"what makes you think love or loyalty have anything to do with why you are here? you are here to have your shame fucked out of you and your temper beaten into submission... you already know how to love your father and be loyal to him, you need no help with that."</span><br/><br/>Ophidian nodded and teleported them to a large island three hundred miles off the coast of Eversong forest and Leena appeared with them. the mage looked around before she hugged Nyarien and kissed her cheek lovingly and this is where the improved sensitivity really shined, the Human's skin so much warmer and more pleasant against the Naga's.<span style="color: #ff0000">"well at least it smells nice... but where is the house?"</span>Ophidian looked over at them and grinned.<span style="color: #ff8000">"oh, it's nearby, under the sea."</span>while Leena looked at him with a frown Ophidian turned away from them and waved one hand, a huge swath of forest vanishing before he raised his hands but nothing seemed to be happening for several minutes until a massive Human shipwreck rose from the sea, the bow bashed in below the waterline showing it had hit a rock. the hulk of the ship floated up into the air and Leena frowned at the male Naga.<span style="color: #ff0000">"you can't be serious..."</span>Ophidian chuckled but didn't look back at them.<span style="color: #ff8000">"just keep watching."</span>the ship glowed and before their eyes forty years of water damage faded away leaving the ship looking like it was just launched and then the masts vanished and the ship rolled over and floated to the cleared land. stone rose up out of the ground to cradle the capsized vessel as it landed. the ship began to glow brightly and there were even a series of flashes inside the vessel as Ophidian worked and then he finally lowered his hands he smiled.<span style="color: #ff8000"> "come inside."</span>he led them between the forecastle and poop deck, the now raised area of the main deck now made a finely furnished and obviously covered 'porch' of sorts and then into the ship itself which had been inverted, which is to say made accessible while the ship was upside down and all the ladders and stairs had been replaced with smooth ramps for the comfort of the Naga. while a faint odor of the sea remained it had been reduced to a clean and fresh scent and the more they explored the more this place looked to be a comfortable home.<span style="color: #ff8000">"i will take the captains quarters but i have refurbished all the officer's cabins to be an equally large bedroom for the two of you."</span>he showed them the rather massive empty room they would share and then continued the tour, a living room, dining room, kitchen and a very lovely bathroom had all been made inside the vessel. there was also plenty of unused space and then he lead them into the bow, the bashed in section of the hull cut away more cleanly to give them a very nice balcony of sorts overlooking the western coast of the island the the.<span style="color: #ff0000">"alright, i must admit it is very pleasant in there with all the windows you put in... and it is inventive."</span><span style="color: #ff8000">"i came to miss my early days living on shipwrecks but it's neither healthy or practical to have you land races living under water so my dear Zelina came up with this idea... of course this place benefits from decades spent improving on the idea. in a few hours we will having running hot and cold water fed via pipes that enter the ship through the stone supports. as i have the energy i will create the furniture we will need, and if either of you have any suggestions i welcome your input."</span>he looked at them and smiled.<span style="color: #ff8000">"well? what do you think Nyarien?" </span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
