<span style="color: #ff0000">"i have the sexiest pink ass of three races thank you very much."</span>the mage stayed leaned against the doorway as Ras entered and Amber smiled at him but when he shortened Sharindia's name she cracked him across the ass with her new toy.<span style="color: #003366">"my name is Sharindia and i will not tolerate shortenings or nicknames."</span>Relene jumped out of her chair like it was electrified and the Highborne sighed as the demigoddess ran out. "sure."<span style="color: #ff0000">"one question, what subject is kicking her a-butt?"</span><span style="color: #003366">"math."</span><span style="color: #ff0000">"what level?"</span><span style="color: #003366">"basic addition and subtraction."</span><span style="color: #ff0000"> "oh boy..."</span><span style="color: #003366">"indeed."</span>the Human left the room to look down at Relene who crossed her arms. "do all mages become teachers? and why do you smell like a Naga?"<span style="color: #ff0000">"no and my mate is a Naga."</span>"wierd."<span style="color: #ff0000">"yes."</span>Leena frowned before she looked and Ras and leaned down to Relene's level.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "you know, i hated math when i was growing up... actually i hated every kind of schooling that didnt let me use magic. i fought my teachers for years thinking i could get out of my education."</span>"did it work?" the Human snorted and shook her head.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "hell no, they kept me prisoner for three extra years and hammered it into my head. and Sharindia is alot smarter then my teachers so she is already going to keep you in there for a long time... so you can either fight her and end up in that room for ten years, or you can do what the smart people do to get out early."</span>"let me guess. work hard."<span style="color: #ff0000"> "yep. if you really work hard you can probably get out of there two, maybe three years early."</span>"but math makes my head hurt." "<span style="color: #ff0000">mine too, but its really not that hard once you learn the tricks."</span>"tricks?" Leena bit her lip but nodded.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "yes,the tricks. ill see if i can dig up and... clean up, all my school diaries for you."</span>"clean them?"<span style="color: #ff0000">"ill have to scribble out all the cursing i did at my teachers and the last one has some... inappropriate drawings."</span>Relene frowned but nodded. "alright." she nodded and stood up and after a moment awkwardly reached over to pat Relene's shoulder.<br/><br/>Order sighed softly and waited for Lonnie to get around the corner before she reached over and stopped all of Nancy's brain functions, killing her instantly and with no chance of pain. she snapped her fingers to burry Nancy with all the expected Human items including a large headstone denoting the appropriate information. she teleported to Lonnie's side a moment later.<span style="color: #ffff00">"she is at peace and has a place of honor as best as i understand Human burial custom... which means she has it all but i dont understand why any of it matters, just that it does. im sorry i could not help her but any attempts at healing her would have only continued to make things worse."</span><br/><br/>Azu shook her head and reached up to itch a spot near the back of her scalp, something the old Troll should recognize as instinct being thwarted.<span style="color: #ffa64d">"no, Azu needs nest, need place to keep eggs safe and warm or they die and not hatch... or hatch wrong and die soon."</span>she looked at Iron but nodded.<span style="color: #ffa64d">"yes please, need nest."</span>she looked at Jim and shook her head several times.<span style="color: #ffa64d"> "no, Azu needs nest. cant lay eggs without nest and Azu is very late. twins do this, make Harpys late to lay, hard to make two shells... Azu has been chewing on things not good for Azu to chew because Azu need hard stuff."</span><span style="color: #330066">"so your the one chewing the dinner bones? and why the hell didnt you tell us?"</span><span style="color: #ffa64d">"Matriarch so busy, Azu not want to be trouble."</span><span style="color: #330066">"oh but your in trouble for not telling us, we cant take care of you if you dont tell us what you need."</span><span style="color: #ffa64d">"bu-"</span><span style="color: #330066">"no buts, you have been very, very naughty and when you have laid your eggs i will decide an appropriate punishment so that you never, ever, hide your needs again am i understood?"</span>Azu slumped but nodded.<span style="color: #ffa64d">"yes Matriarch. Azu is sorry for being naughty."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
