<strong>Steel Orchid</strong><br/><br/>Between the fact that Steel Orchid was comfortable naked in her presence, and the soft smile she gave her, Silver Feather was encouraged and she smiled back.  "Actually, yes, I do know a good bit about massage, in particular how it relates to medicine, and I can see that you really need someone dedicated to such, you must be sore.  Before I was exalted, I was studying the arts of healing among the Solidites, physical, mental, and sexual... on your belly, let's set to work."  She went though the room until she found what she was looking for, a muscle relaxant salve and she joined the other exalt on the bed, begining to message her back, but also playing close attention to bruises on her body.<br/><br/>As long as Steel Orchid was agreeable, she had every intention of taking this from a message to something more, she both admired and was very much attracted to her solar mate, and was a bit less hesitant now.  Expert fingers slide over the other woman's shoulders, back and thighs, she definitely appeared to know what she was doing.  "Shall we go for a full body message, or just muscles, hmm?"<br/><br/><strong>Jay Jadestar</strong><br/><br/>The Orichalcum considered for a long moment, saying nothing in reply, but just when Jay thought he might say nothing at all, he spoke up.<br/><br/>"Jay...you don't often ask my advice, so.. I will do my best with what I have.. and I will explain where it's coming from..  I have been an Alchemical Exalt for a bit more then a hundred years, and lived multiple mortal lives before that, I have seen the tie between the solar and lunar over thousands of years.. she is not doing this to make your life more difficult, she is doing it because she can't help herself.  You worry about the influence she might have on you, but I can tell you, based on thousands of years of experance, the influence solars can exert on their lunar mates is many times what you worry she might be able to exert on you.  The tie is stronger and weaker to some degree depending on circumstances, but the one you should be blaming for the strength of her tie to you.. is your previous incarnation, not her.  By avoiding her, your are not giving her any peace, your making her miserable."<br/><br/>He glanced at Jay a moment to see how much impact his words were making on the Solar.  "Besides, she is your mate, and will be a constant in your life, you should find some way to relate to her in this century."<br/><br/><strong>Party</strong><br/><br/>"Shameless as usual, girls..."  The woman who walked up now was wearing a red robe with gold embroidery and she walked up to Mai and kissed her on the cheek.  "It's good to see you again, Kage, I see our girls are behaving themselves, in their usual manner."  Scarlet Star looked at her friend Mai and winked, they had a sort of good friends with benefits kind of relationship, and had negotiated a bit to produce the three children between them, but while being very good friends, they were only rarely lovers.<br/><br/>"Was Steel Orchid going to make it, I was hoping for a chance to consult with the Dawn before this matter involving new instructions came up."<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Scarlet Star</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-R79vCRymkXE/UNZHY1KWd2I/AAAAAAAAADk/yf7d6Z-jvZw/s512/Battles%2520Caste.jpg)</div>Caste: Battles</div></div><br/><strong>Embers</strong><br/><br/>Caught in the mirrors by the fire aspect, she was only surprised for an instant, as she shifted, returning the kiss with the same eagerness and spinning both of them around so that Embers would be pressed against the wall as she returned the kiss.  After a moment the kiss broke and she responded.  "The reflection gave me away, didn't it?"  At the nod from Embers she sighed slightly.  "I'll have to work on that... but it is ironic, as Reflections sent me to get you and bring you the party.. "  She paused.  "Of course, there is no rush, if you have something else in mind?"  Her tone showed that mischievious streak that ran though Rhyme at times.<br/><br/>
