All eyes watched the proud warriors motions intently. The moment she took it Aryia explained its use<br/><br/><strong>"It is stronger than it looks and will act as a true flute if you wish to learn its use, furthermore if you bring it to your lips and whisper<br/>the name of a Mistpeak witch that you know well they will be able to hear a whisper of your next sentence. This can only be done<br/>three times a day and can be used to signal to Angela when you are in an idle time or if such a time abruptly ceases. <br/>Or contact to myself to give warning or other such messages. It only works one way however, we will hear one sentence in the wind but we will not be able to talk back."</strong><br/><em><br/>"What you ask of me personally is harder. I don't wish to deny you what you need or what is<br/> so vital in your life nor essential in your culture. I wouldn't dream of asking you to change your entire lifestyle to fit my own, not when you've already gifted me so much already but as I've said our cultures are vastly different and beyond that my <br/>personal experience in such matter is rather lacking." She said a wry self mocking smile crossing her lips.<br/></em><br/>Angela and Aryia both seemed about to talk at once, then at a glance and a head tilt Aryia let Angela speak<br/><br/><strong>"This has to change as soon as possible, I understand some cultures think that restraint or lack of such living is virtuous or makes doing so later<br/>more special we firmly disagree, culturally such a stance is more at odds with our values than can easily be expressed, such parts of ones form be like musical instruments, only through learning and refining can development and art of their music be found. All parts of your body get better at what they do most often. Health of such sacred parts, yours and that of other heros is vital for true spiritual balance."<br/></strong><br/>Then Aryia added ... quickly<br/><strong><br/>"We understand your culture is different and to us those not doing so is sad and trigger's illness later, to others those doing so often is deemed <br/>dismissive of cultural virtuous from restraint. To us such is truely flowers of the body, cultrues which hide them or place conditions of their flowering <br/>is like visiting a plant who has its flowers turn away from you. To us they speak with a truer language that we hold in high regard. In mistpeak<br/>exposure of privates or attempts at lovemaking is like shaking hands, and a flower-friendship, offered in trust as one, not of separate intentions,<br/>if you do visit so please understand this. I can write letters of request or explanation to your homeland explaining hopes we have for ambassadors"<br/></strong><br/><br/><em>"I can honestly say I have no idea of the nature of your needs I would rather experience any more then I can say what sort of bow I'd rather use." She said referencing to the fact that she'd never so much as used a bow in her life. "Though I will not ask you to refrain for my sake." She said calmly shifting on the balls of her feet so the silk around her rippled like water caressing her body. "Since you know best what you want and need," Akara said speaking directly to Angela, "I will accept whatever it is you wish to indulge in within reason. I don't wish to be distracted by unwanted sensations in the middle of battle when focus is the difference between life or death but during idle times, you may do as you please. As for what you and Aria desire...orally" she said stumbling over the word, "I'll will try it but I can't yet say if such a thing will continue since inexperience leads me to being hesitant in promising any absolutes in that regard." She lifted a hand pinching the bridge of her nose, it was the only sign of the stress this conversation put on her besides  the tense way she held her body hidden mostly by the fall of her clothing.<br/><br/></em>At this Aryia and Angela exchanged worried glances<br/><br/>"Without being needed or useful this way if its not valued, how else can ... " Angela started<br/><br/>"With other cultures typically trust in most matters is formed before such things is even considered, with us such agreements are made for trust in other matters to emerge,our culture values regularity as a necessity, we detest the therm familiarity breeds contempt, to use familiarity forms oneness vital for peace and understanding. For many truths are known in the hieight of pleasure, especially the formation of new desires, which is intrinsic to our culture developing." - Aryia added<br/><br/>"Perhaps knowing more of what it involves could help" - Angela added<br/><br/>To which Aryia nodded<br/><br/><strong>"My Councillors mentioned your warrior tradition gives more time for sword work than such things, but rest assured your <br/>own inexperience is something that we can see to. We culturally view our role to see to your centers development and no need other than<br/>you relaxing in poses Angela or I or both can control is necessary. Although ideally we wish it every night, the poses will change<br/>as development of your centers which are very underdeveloped from what you have said will need you used to relaxing in several ways which<br/>we can hold. If you let us manage the position of your hips and legs we can see to the rest. It is only demanding of your time, perhaps <br/>an hourglass a night ? But I understand if you do desire to experience a few sessions before deciding what time you feel appropriate in the future<br/>If you feel all of your centers deserve such attention at once we can easily manage two more witches when the need<br/>arises. I can request a certain hour being reserved for us so those at court know not to request audience at such times, May we try tonight,<br/>it is in Mistpeaks own interest as well as ours personally to ensure its such your comfortable for it to continue and fit into your lifestyle"  </strong><br/><em><br/>"A gift from Aurora to Mistpeak, for without the great witches of the mountain we would not be hear today. And while others may call you different or crude" Akara said a flicker of an amused smile curving her lips as she used their own description, "Those of my land, my people and myself will now and forever call you friend." She said stepping back to present the fine breeding pair that was from her own horses bloodline known for being fast and hearty, agile and nimble, spirited and loyal. In Aurora a horse was life for it could save you when little else could, they were of higher value then homes or even great gems. It was a great gift to a people she greatly respected.<br/></em><br/>The other two witches that had not spoken took the horses with deep bows and lead them away from the courtyard<br/><br/>Aryia looked stunned<br/><strong><br/>"Such steeds are priceless as they do represent the lands of the great shifting sands. We will let them roam free through Mistpeak's greenfields.<br/>May they spend most of their time in proud coupling as one"</strong><br/><br/>The last sentence was said in reverence to which both Angela and Aryia murmured in unison as if in a prayer. Then Aryia and Angela both were all smiles, and instinctively both placed a hands on one of Akara hips with fingers splayed widely while looking directly at her opposite breast to the side they were touching.<br/><br/><strong>"Words for forming understandings for what is most sacred." </strong>they said in unison and lingered for three breaths before taking a step back releasing their touch.<br/><br/>Aryia seemed very pleased and her restless tugging of her own hair ceased and her proud posture soon returned<br/><strong><br/>"Here this gives one a summary of many things vital to understand of our culture, having something similar of yours could prevent<br/>either of us insulting the other accidentally"</strong><br/><br/>Aryia handed over a scroll to the Hero of Auroa and nodded while smiling broadly<br/><br/>(OOC: Ie it effectively list all the stuff in the  Mistpeak (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=89195.msg3903696#msg3903696) link as well as a detailed map ))<br/>
