Nirael thought back at the day at the evening's shadows while resting with Lunari, silently just enjoying the moment there. He felt he had made some progress, but there was a long way to go. He also felt he had neglected poor Mara too much, and owed her a treat. He really wanted to make her feel important to him. The fact she claimed to be spoiled by his magical touch had him actually blush a bit. He'd indulge her appetite for the pleasures with magic, though not without applying some protection against the risks of pregnancy, and a bit of spellwork to give her some dirty thoughts and to help lube up a bit of the back way, if he came to repeat a bit of the scene from her 'conversion'.<br/><br/>Snuggling Lunari against himself and thinking, he had to admit Sirana had a point. He had<em>assumed</em>he could teach her, but he was one to work with arcane magic more than divine, and thus at a difficult position of trying to convey what he wanted to get across. He'd have to seek to show her the magic, talk about what he knew about the divine side of it, and possibly cast a spell or two on her with her approval as well. Dirty thoughts shouldn't be too bad, perhaps elven smoothness if he convinced her to let him. Of course, it might be his fingers would apply it on a spot safer than what he'd liked to have employed it on, but that'd be seen then.<br/><br/>All in all he had come to like the people. What he had seen so far promised a lot of work ahead. He hadn't spent any time with Anju after their arrival, he figured he'd take the time to greet her today if he could get the chance, perhaps have a talk with her and Lunari to know a bit more about the guardian woman. Assuming of course she was within the village, it might be she was gone and he'd have to ask for a chance to talk with her at a later time.<br/><br/>The words about the staff and how he seemed like Lunari's father with her in his hands left Nirael wondering. He thought about carrying her along where he went during the day, taking some time to study her more when he had an idly moment. He figured there was more to her than was showing, but such wonders might not be his to uncover just now, there was more important things to worry about than his curiosity. He'd want to learn about it, but with the demon Marda in the horizon he felt he had to think about what would help more against that foe. Opening the late mage's spellbook seemed like a logical step to proceed into by this point, and studying the artefact itself seemed a likewise sensible approach.<br/><br/>Faint yawn left his lips at the time, wondering how that would all work out. Either way, he had enjoyed a bit of peace at the meeting with the Matriarch, and attending the Worship. He could see how this life could draw a person in, and he liked the idea of staying, but he'd have to make sure to not neglect anyone like he had let happen with poor Mara.<br/><br/>The Worship had him wonder, the way it had flowed, he needed to see it again, and needed to spend time to know these people more. Taking time to see the village was one thing, but if he wanted to know the people here, he needed to spend some time among them. Though escorted by a guard probably, he figured it would not be a smart idea to go wandering alone, at least yet.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc Planning</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Day 2, Scheduling</span></strong> (if unchanged)<br/>* 07-09:  Visit Sirana (Well, if he's got some teaching to do he might start early. On that note, he might invite her to 'spy' on him and Mara later...) (2 Hours talking, teaching, experimenting possibly)<br/>* 09-10:  Visit Mara (Need to convince her she matters to Nirael and he'll take care of her.)<br/>* 10-11:  Seduce Mara (<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Strip, Force Toys, and Ah'mie's Sexual Tentacles</strong></span> will get a small test drive, in a naughty magic-enriched play, alongside the rest of the pleasures.)<br/>* 11-13:  Study Alher's Spellbooks (There was no denying the fact that he loved the possibilities of magic, and if there was something to help them against the fiend, he'd certainly need to learn it. (2 hours studying the spellbooks through)<br/>* 13-15:  Spend time with Lunari &amp; Nilari together (Learning more about the two, and sharing conversation between the three of them, with possible chats on the sides one-on-one) (2 hours, '1 each?')<br/>* 15-17:  Seduce Lunari &amp; Nilari (Taking 2 hours, I am not sure if you meant having first spent 2 hours with the two and then enjoying sex, or if sex takes up 2 hours as well?) (2 hours 'in case') (+See below) <br/>* 17-18:  Visit Anju (Hope to get to know a bit more about the lady who halted their progress, possibly learning a bit more about the 'diggers' and other threats. Maybe could help the elves with them later on.)<br/>* 18-20:  Study the Artefact Half (It *is* the most important thing after all. Time to take some time trying to figure out more about it.) (2 hours session devoted to this)  <br/>* 20-21:  Attend Worship (The experience was a pleasant one, and should be repeated.)<br/>* 21-22:  Socialize with Native Elves (Human Male Form, with Guard) (Seeing the village yesterday was good, but I need to learn about the people themselves a bit more too.)<br/>* 22-06:  Rest for 8 hours.<br/><br/>+ If the sex with Lunari &amp; Nilari would rightfully take 1 hour not 2, I figure he'd try and work off the 'high' of such blissful encounter afterwards by pouring through Alher's spellbooks for an additional 1 hour instead then. ^^" Just in case.</div></div>
