<div align="center"><strong>DOA Island, Dining Hall </strong></div><br/>Shock seemed to bounce around in Terra's mind as Tyger stepped out of the shadows and offered his mind freely to the demon.  Her thoughts jumped to her home and the slave crown that had been used on her forceably.  It had taken away every decision from her and had given it to the soldiers around her.  A mind was a difficult thing to break and to invite such a thing seemed very rash to Terra.  She shook her head trying to get the memories of her the slave crown to fall from her mind.  She had killed over fifty soldiers in a matter of minutes at Kefka's orders just for a simple test.  As the other woman spoked Terra tilted her ear towards her, not taking her gaze from the moving picture of Tyger in front of her, and she missed whatever the demon had said before disappearing into him.  She grimaced at the still man wishing he had chosen a completely different route.  Watching him in battle was one type of worry but to not be able to see the battle was quiet another.  The woman beside her started moving and Terra replayed the half caught words in her mind.  She could let her see what was going on in the illusion?  Wait, what did Giselle mean by she needed to see what was happening?  Terra had been unaware that Tyger and Giselle had been close enough to warrant such a<em>need</em>.  A moment of surprising jealousy passed over Terra and her mouth turned into a hard line but she remained quiet needing to see what was going on as well.<br/><br/>Indigo eyes watched every movement the Drow made carefully wondering what she was doing.  Giselle had said that she make everyone see what was happening in Tyger's mind and Terra was curious about the magic she did not have in her own world.  She cocked an eyebrow as Tyger spoke to her and Giselle about the private battle before turning back to the other woman.  Not if this Esper knows what she is doing.  Terra's gaze followed the direction of Giselle's to the wall on their right and her mouth dropped open as she found herself there clad in merely a shirt.  She tilted her head feeling strange at watching herself smell the shirt and speak to Tyger of home.  The demon had chosen<em>her</em>to try and break him?  Her thoughts drifted away from the scene before her.  The desire demon had many things at her disposal, she could have chosen someone more beautiful, or perhaps someone with his curse so he would be more understood.  Terra thought of many scenarios she deemed better for trapping a man but yet the demon chose this one.  Did Tyger truly want these things with her?  He had admitted wanting to return with her to her world after the tournament but she had not thought on the implications of such a bold statement.<br/><br/>Her breath held in her lungs as a tiny blonde girl came running up to the bed and climbed into bed with Tyger.  Terra felt her heart strings pulled by the illusion as Tyger looked lovingly at the small beautiful child in his lap.  Could she have these things with him?  She watched her illusion of her daughter with a bit of pride as she frosted over the flower and smiled as Tyger called her kitten.  Terra felt the strange feeling again as she reappeared on the wall and began to tickle her daughter.  At Tyger's laughter the strange cloud of comfort she had at watching the wall seemed to pop.  That was not his genuine laughter and a smile spit her face.  It was comforting to know that he had not been so lulled by the demon's illusion as Terra had been though the creation had not even been meant to lure her.  Though she could not help hoping that he had actually seen through the illusion instead of it just not appealing to him.  Terra watched with a little more scrutiny as he offered to take her illusion self for a walk.  She glanced at Giselle wanting to ask a question but thought better of it as the woman continued to concentrate.  Terra would need to remember to keep an eye on her since it must be extremely difficult maintaining such a connection between worlds.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong>The Illusion </strong></div><br/>A broad smile crossed Terra's face but before she could respond to Tyger's offer the tiny ball of excitement between them pipped up.  "Daddy you promised to take me shadow jumping today!"  The words were spoken as if he had already forgotten and without waiting for a response the girl grabbed a piece of fruit and scurried to the edge of the bed.  "I have to go change, these close won't do for shadows."  The young child spread out her tiny white dress to showcase it to her parents emphasising her point.  She walked quickly to the door as if she could barely contain her excitement then she turned to face them once again.  "I love you."  Tyssa turned once again and left them completely intent on going to her room to change.  Terra shifted her gaze back to Tyger with the same smile as before.<br/><br/>"Something seems a little off with you today and I know that look Jungle-Cat.  It means you've figured me out."  She moved the plate of food away from them and moved closer to him.  She studied his face intently a moment before worming her way into his arms and shifting to sit in his lap, as she had done thousands of times before now.  Her arms went around his neck and she nuzzled his nose softly before moving back to meet his gaze once again.  Terra's hand searched for his and laced her fingers through his as she found it.  "I tried to hide it from you last time too, but you pay too close attention to me."  She kissed him deeply then letting him feel her appreciation of their happy life and her unconditional love of him.  Guiding his hand up the edge of his shirt at her thighs she smiled lightly against his lips as she guided it further and pressed his palm into her tummy.  "My heart that beats only for you now beats for two."<br/><br/>She traced light circles on the back of his hand soothingly with a look of complete joy on her face before moving his hand from under the shirt and trailed it lightly up her body letting it rest upon her chest just below the start of her neck so it was close to her heart.  "I love this life that we have built Jungle-Cat... I'm hoping to give you a son this time.  Would that make you happy?"  A little concern crossed her face as she awaited his answer as if anything but his happiness would crush her.<br/><br/>((EDIT: Illusion- duplicated sentence.))
