Angelique smiled to Tehr as he headed to the conservatory, whispering something to Sarah who seemed to giggle faintly at it too but the two of them smiled after him fondly, not like they were up to anything mean. More like they were amused and a bit delighted by something. Nonetheless, as Tehr made his way to the conservatory she stood up to greet him in her robe, bowing her head a little and smiling happily.<br/><br/><strong>"The actual rite takes about ten minuets to complete, and demands some precise timing and focus. It is not necessary by any means and messing up in it won't cause any trouble, its merely that it would enrich the plants here a fair share if it was done right."</strong>She looked upon him quietly, and stepped closer.<strong>"As part of this dance you will need to stomp a beat on the ground at some spots, and at others you will need to grasp me, lead me. Just like the winter's chill leaves the land asleep, a good tug from the summer to awaken into spring does wonders to enrich the soil, to bring it fertility, to remind of the masculine strength of the coming season, to stir the mother earth from its slumber."</strong>Her smile was amused as she then brought her hand to her sash.<br/><br/><strong>"When this is performed for real, it will have to take place in the nude, under moonlight. I imagine it will take a few practice sessions to get ready for it and perform it well, but we can practice with the robe on if it helps you focus in things easier, or I can slip out of my robe for a moment and dance besides you like that to hopefully make you comfortable with moving with me even before the rite."</strong>She smiled in a gentle fashion, casting a look at him curiously.<strong>"I will not take offense of any signs of arousal, I will take it as flattering show my femininity appeals to you, but I hope you will feel comfortable being near me when I am in the natural state of nudity. While I admit I enjoy seeing your figure as well, I believe I would appreciate it differently if I were to approach the situation as a lover rather than a guest."</strong>She added this in a conversational tone, a faint blush on her cheeks.<strong>"Your maids may not say anything outright about things, but the way they smile at times makes a lady wonder just how well they can get cheered up in a little or not so little while?"</strong><br/><br/>She had a hand on her sash, looking at him to wait for his decision whether they'd practice the steps in the bare or if they would begin the bit of rite clothed. The dance motions, the words to be spoken, the meanings she intended to explain, all in all she meant to help him and try and let him understand what she pursued, but in essence it was a ritualistic plea for the old Gods and the powers older than Gods themselves to enrich the surroundings, taking the roles of 'avatars' for essences to be brought forth and invoken by the rite.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Considering using some old rules of 'Invocations' but I don't remember where I read them in the past. Basically magical rituals mainly requiring a successful skill check or two, and not quick enough for combat or such but with generally beneficial effects. Got me thinking about them and possibly trying to come up with some variety of carnal rites as well that might surface if so.<br/><br/>Ehm, but anyhow sorry my mind wandered a bit we can keep this a simple RPed out side-thing mostly meant for little entertainment.<br/><br/>EDIT: Added additional material after a private-message discussion.</div></div><br/>Smiling to Tehr quietly as she waited for his answer, Rosalyn's gaze lingered on his face though casting a curious look on what he wore on his arrival, before hearing his words spoken.<em>"If the ceremony is to be done nude, there's no need to wait."</em>His words earned a nod in return from her, as she took delight in watching him undress, her eyes following his form appreciatively though not lingering in one place for long, taking in the sight of him appreciatively, having definitely looked but without stopping to stare. Albeit it was coming close when her eyes laid on his crotch, seeing him undress so she indulged in that much gazing, and his semi-hard state did seem to bring a rise to the corner of her lip as she nod a hint.<br/><br/><strong>"Then I shall join you in that state to carry out the practice as the rite itself would be undertaken."</strong>She stepped a bit closer, but began to slide the dress-robe off in a silent fashion. Thin cloth trailing off her form, her smooth figure being unveiled, she stood at peace with the world amidst those plants as the cloth rose, and the womanly curve of her bosom came to open view, the cherry of her nipple standing at attention, her shifting feet drawing eyes to the magnificient smoothness rising up to where her legs parted, the lips of the elven flower, her legs a little parted in the casual stance allowing him to drink in her figure. The cloth rising, her hair fell free as she pulled the last piece of cloth aside, setting them away and facing him in the natural state, her bared figure both otherworldly and beautiful, and natural in its smooth state within the safety of that conservatorium.<br/><br/><strong>"To start, the rite involves a series of steps, not so unlike a dance. In fact its a performance for the powers that be, and an invocation for the blessing to be granted where the rite takes place. I shall begin with my lone steps, and then we'll see the part where we shall move together. It will be expected you to answer to the first part of the dance by watchful look as if part of audience to be persuaded, pulled into the dance as I am the one to begin the invocation, the request for a blessing, and you take the role of one I am pleading in this case."</strong>Her lips showed a playful smile to them, but she found a spot where she had a bit of empty floor to use.<br/><br/>Kneeled on the floor, her hair was hanging around her face obscuring some of the view of her, before she raised her voice, a soft hum to it rather than a clear set of words, her hands before her moving as if lifting a bowl in them, held before her, head a bit downcast, before throwing her head back and letting her hands part to the sides, her kneeled pose shifting as she turned in a swift manner, palms open as if sprinkling something about her. The fair hair dancing in the air around her as she turned, the perky nipples standing at attention, her smooth thighs moving with the unearthly grace.<br/><br/>Her body turned a full circle, one foot never moving from the spot but turning on her sole, standing up on the front of her foot, before turning her head to face him, and step forth, her voice rising to an elven song, an old tone to it as she took a step closer towards him, a sway to her hip, bowing slightly, bending a knee somewhat before him as her hands were held cupped before her, her head lowered for a second, before she straightened up her hands rising just below her face level before her, singing to him. Her arms as they were pressing her bosom a bit tighter together, her thighs close to one another now, yet as she stood smiling before him, none would have faulted him for rising higher up in terms of stiffness, yet she paused her performance at this point, stepping abit closer.<br/><br/><strong>"To invoke the blessings, the first part is convincing the seasons that a time of change has come, and the bounty of nature is called for. Cross-armed and slightly aloof, powerful and masculine, you would stand at this point striking rhytm with the sole of your right foot to the first section, but when approached at first, you would have to deny the appeal, a reminder that these invocations are not started lightly, but the next part on my side would be to draw you in, and when asked again, you would appease the one seeking the favor by joining into the dance, to begin the invocation from the other side."</strong>She paused a little embarrassed, blushing slightly for a moment.<strong>"Some of the variants actually involve taking up sexual nature to appease the powers that the supplicant is showing proper deferrence to the old ways but the intimacy of a dance is believed to be sufficient, just other traditions along time have shown a preference for different approaches."</strong>
