<span style="color: #404040">"or she can practice talking to the one person who will snicker at her mistakes instead of taking offense but your smarter then me so i will let you decide."</span>Maka smirked over at the Animus while Ibara was cuddling her new kitten.<span style="color: #006600">"that's the beauty of these small cats, all she has to do is feed her once a day and let the kitty sit in her lap while she is working. the servants will make sure Ibara always has the supplies she needs."</span>Maka smiled to Ibara who was cooing at the little kitten and then returned to her seat. eventually Ibara passed the kitten over to Valeen to hold while the presents continued. Dra'tha gave Ibara gorgeously engraved Outland dagger with an even more artistically done handle carved of an animal tusk and Ras would sense the enchantments to preserve the blade on it, even the sheath was a work of beauty. next Rintha gave Ibara a beautiful Trollish pipe and a bag of her special mix to smoke in it to sooth even an enraged Fel Orc. Korgna followed that up with a devious smirk and gave Ibara a large dildo of The'kal's design which made everyone laugh while Ibara glared daggers at the smirking Human.<span style="color: #404040">"hey, your the one who swore off lovers and you have to cure your sexual frustration somehow before you start taking heads."</span>Ibara glared at her sister while the others continued to chuckle. when that finally settled down Jasmine took her turn, surprising everyone by giving Ibara a Trollish bead work necklace with a small note that Ibara read and than thanked her sister for. if Ras checked he would sense an enchantment to suppress the heat cycle and know just how damned expensive the materials for that were. Ibara thanked her and set it back in it's box as Valeen stood up to take her turn, handing over the box with it's pen which made Ibara smile as she looked over the pen. just as everyone got back to their seats and were about to begin supper Leena appeared making them all gasp.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "what? did you think i wasn't coming?"</span>Ibara's eyes teared up as she hugged the mage tight.<span style="color: #ff8000">"you never should have left."</span><span style="color: #ff0000"> "i had to, but that doesn't mean i don't love you."</span>when the hug broke she grinned and gave Ibara an enormous, beautifully colored conch shell with a grin.<span style="color: #ff0000">"my new home has these all over the place, this is by far the prettiest one i have found and if you listen you can even hear the sea in it."</span>Ibara smiled and took her seat as Leena took her previously empty one and then she took her kitten back.<span style="color: #ff8000">"thank you, everyone."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
