Subject: ~§~ Author: Elle Lockhart [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:24:40 05/28/01 Mon *The slight figure strides slowly into the beautiful courtyard, golden eyes soaking in the rich sights she sees so little of at home. Golden crowned head turns everyway, trying to catch all the sights, a smile alightling on a usually joyful face. She moves into a more deserted part of the courtyard, with no around that she could see, glad to get away from the bustle of a city, and sits down on one of the ornately carved benches, closing her eyes and just enjoying the day.* [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date ~*~He hears the sound of someone moving about near him, he lifts his eyes, seeing her before she sees him, he narrows his eyes, looking to his hands then back to her, his voice is low and threatening, his stallion is in clear veiw, pelt glistening* "Ye better be on yer way now...." (NT) Russet 14:31:26 05/28/01 Mon *She yips in surprise, whirling around and nearly falling off the bench. She glares in the general direction of the voice, eyes trying to pick the speaker out among the dense flora of the courtyard* And why is that? *Her voice is light, not annoyed as it would have been before, not anxious to make enemies so quickly in this place. Besides, Amy hadn't mentioned any off-limits place in the gardens, so it should be fine, she guessed.* (NT) -- Elle Lockhart, 15:30:40 05/28/01 Mon "Because i strongly advies you leave me be...." ~*`He places his head in his hands and rubs his temples, he could almost hear his mother's voice speaking to him once more, his hands ached, he groans and sighs as stabs of pain shoot through his body, the pwoer was still far too much~*~ (NT) -- Russet, 15:59:24 05/28/01 Mon Oh... *Her voice is still soft as she spots him finally, moving to stand- then realizing she has no idea where she is. She takes a moment to view the other person, who looks like he could be about her age- or much older, based on the lines on a face that looks like it should have none. She hesitates slightly again, then sighs* Is there something wrong? (NT) -- Elle Lockhart, 16:45:54 05/28/01 Mon ~*~>> -- Russet, 17:06:36 05/28/01 Mon *She hesitates for a moment, not sure if she wanted to become very, very far away, or to help out. She was known for heartlessness in some places, expecially among men, but she had been looking for a change of life. She moves forward slowly, the crack in the sturdy bench causing her to hesitate slightly, but she keeps her resolve firm and moves up, something in the blue eyes she had glimpsed moments before making her stay. She reaches out and touches his arm gingerly* Sir? (NT) -- Elle Lockhart, 17:29:16 05/28/01 Mon *He jumps at her touch and rises to his feet, backing away a step or two and shaking his head* "Stay away...I'll end up hurting you too...." *He swollows and turns away, muscles in his body twitching* (NT) -- Russet, 17:40:35 05/28/01 Mon ~§~ -- Elle Lockhart, 17:50:58 05/28/01 Mon *The voice of his mother echos through his skull, he grasps at his hair and mutters* 'Leave me alone.....Leave me alone....." *He closes his eyes tight and his fists clench, every muscle in his body seems to be tense, slowly they relax again as the hated voice subsides he takes a deep breath and shakes his head* "Just go...Stay away..." (NT) -- Russet, 17:57:54 05/28/01 Mon No. *A quiet, but firm voice interjects, and she moves a bit closer, into his range of vision, trying to catch the glimpse that had kept her here for as long as it had. She reaches out slowly, allowing her fingertips to rest lightly on his arm again* Tell me what it is. (NT) -- Elle Lockhart, 18:08:15 05/28/01 Mon ~*~Hie looks to her, eyes cold and stern, but past that is some hidden fear, fear of something he cannot grasp, not yet that is, he holds her gaze for a long time, not saying a word~*~ (NT) -- Russet, 18:13:15 05/28/01 Mon *She keeps the gaze, a distant part of her urging her to break it, and quickly, but she stays like that, meeting ice and stone with her own fiery gaze, holding the silence also. Her eyes are still questioning and doubtful, but she was willing to wait to see what he would do* (NT) -- Elle Lockhart, 18:25:50 05/28/01 Mon *He breaks the gaze and looks down again* "Nothing....Just something i got that i don't want...." (NT) -- Russet, 18:30:21 05/28/01 Mon ~§~ -- Elle, 18:41:05 05/28/01 Mon ~>> -- Russet Leonhart, 18:51:13 05/28/01 Mon ~§~ -- Elle, 04:35:32 05/29/01 Tue ~*~>>> -- Russet, 10:58:47 05/29/01 Tue ~§~ -- Elle, 12:48:47 05/29/01 Tue ~*~>> -- Russet, 13:00:12 05/29/01 Tue ~§~ -- Elle, 13:17:36 05/29/01 Tue "Yes..Leonhart....You know Diablo right....." *Light laughter* "Everyone knows Diablo....Yes..he is my brother...yet my half brother at that.....I have always loved him...which is why i must stay away from him now...." (NT) -- Russet, 13:36:58 05/29/01 Tue ~§~ -- Elle, 13:58:58 05/29/01 Tue "yes....That could be true....But i still cannot control my powers...Who knows what idea will place itself in my head....." (NT) -- Russet, 14:08:46 05/29/01 Tue *She sighs, lifting her hands in a shrug* I know very little of magic or anything related to it, but... I was under the impressions that it could be controlled. Forgive me if that is incorrect, I really do know nothing about it. *She nearly rolled her eyes at her tone of voice; it seems she was going to turn into a 'proper' lady, after all. She smiles slightly, golden eyes unregularily cautious* (NT) -- Elle, 14:16:20 05/29/01 Tue *He looks back to her and sighs* "At the moment i'm not powerful enough to control it....It's like my mother lives inside of me....putting idea's in my head and making me think that whatever she tells me must be right and must be done..." (NT) Russet 14:20:29 05/29/01 Tue ~§~ -- Elle, 14:42:13 05/29/01 Tue *He freezes, his horse shifts and lifts his head with a whicker, he swollows and slowly looks around, every muscle in his body tense like a prey animal that just sensed it's hunter's eyes, his horse whinnys and tosses it's head trotting towards Russet, only a few feet off now~*~ (NT) -- Russet, 14:49:55 05/29/01 Tue *She tenses also, unconsiously, wondering what the matter is, golden eyes casting around warily.* (NT) -- Elle, 14:54:59 05/29/01 Tue *A erie howl echos throughout the courtyard, raising in a keening crashendo of sounds, he relaves and smiles, cupping his hand to his mouth and answering in an equally erie howl, lifting to the hight fo the sky then lowering once more, he smiles, his horse snorts and stamps the ground, the wolf replys with an eager lament....he gives no answer this time...~*~ (NT) -- Russet, 15:03:30 05/29/01 Tue *She starts slightly, she had few dealings with any other animals besides horses, and they certainly gave no clue to the noise she was hearing now. She shivers slightly, eyes scanning the general location of the noise warily. Seeing him do it, she relaxed slightly, maybe it was a signal of some sort? She wouldn't know.* (NT) -- Elle, 15:10:11 05/29/01 Tue ~*~For the first time since she had been near him he smiles, eyes sparkle, no longer cold and laced with fear, there is a sound of movement in the brush, he quietly answers the howl again, yellow eyes peirce the darkness~*~ (NT) -- Russet, 15:16:32 05/29/01 Tue *Seeing him so relaxed she calms down the rest of the way, only slightly shaken when the eyes come in view, trusting it to not be too bad. Besides, the visible difference in his appearance was enough to keep her somewhat occupied* (NT) -- Elle, 15:25:16 05/29/01 Tue *He walks some distance from her and crouches, whistling softly, there is a whine as if from a dog and the creature slinks from the shadows to him, he slowly extends a hand to touch the brindle pelt of the wolf, eyes focused on the beautiful creature at his touch once more, the creature who traveld with him before~*~ (NT) -- Russet, 15:33:30 05/29/01 Tue *She hesitates, unsure of this, but she raises her head and walks up, golden eyes wary but curious. She stands a small way back, head tilted lightly to the side, wondering* What.... who.... is that? (NT) -- Elle, 15:38:40 05/29/01 Tue ~*~The wolf flashes a fearful look to her, yellow eyes bright and he dashes into the brush, Russet smirks and shakes his head~*~ "Yes...run then...trust your instincts.,...flee..." ~*~He looks to her and shrugs~*~ "my only travel companion....I call him Damin...He is a wolf..." (NT) -- Russet, 15:45:38 05/29/01 Tue *She flashes him a rather cold look, catching a possible implied jest in that she did not appreciate. She brushes back the golden hair in front of her face distainedly, look lessening somewhat* I have never heard of a wolf as a traveling companion... then again, I have done little traveling. *Her gaze is caught for a moment from something in the brush, then shakes her head slightly, turning back with a gaze laced with less poison then before* (NT) -- Elle, 15:54:45 05/29/01 Tue ~*`He pays her glances no head, having seen and received far worse he walks over to his horse and raches in the saddlebag for something~*~ (NT) -- Russet, 16:01:53 05/29/01 Tue *She smiles suddenly, taken a liking to the fact he didn't seem to care what other people thought. She turns to where she had came from, shading her eyes in the glare from the lowering sun. She bends down, picking one of the many fragrant roses in the garden, twirling it absently around her fingers.* (NT) -- Elle, 16:12:03 05/29/01 Tue ~*~He plucks a rose from one of the bushes, with a snap of his fingers it changes from crimson red to white a snow, he swings into the saddle and turns his horse gingerly toward sher, a cool smile still on his lips, he reaches towards her and places the rose, thornless behind her ear and turns the horse to leave once more* (NT) -- Russet, 16:18:35 05/29/01 Tue *She starts at the action, whirling around, eyes widening slightly. She manages to ruin a possibly nice moment with that action, overbalencing and falling with a soft cry... right into the creek she had been admiring minitues before. She flounders in the deep water for a moment, having little experience with swimming and even less with a dress on, before slipping waterlogged under the surface* (NT) -- Elle, 16:39:51 05/29/01 Tue ~*~He hears the splash and swings off the back of his horse, throwing off his shirt, it lands on the saddle, he takes a deep breath and dives into the creek, surfacing quickly and looking franticly for her~*~ (NT) -- Russet, 16:42:37 05/29/01 Tue *She tries to fight her way up to the surface, managing to thrust one hand up... then slips back down limply, the breath she didn't have running out quickly* (NT) -- Elle, 16:46:40 05/29/01 Tue ~*~He draws a deep full breath and dives back under, opening his eyes in them murky water and swimming towards the hand, a firm strong amr slips around her waist and he lifts her up abofe the water with himself* "Hold On to me!" (NT) -- Russet, 16:48:50 05/29/01 Tue *Her barely functioning mind realizes that there is air, focusing on that above all else. Disoriented mind realizes that he had said something, and she nods, not exactly sure what she is agreeing to, but slipping a hand onto his shoulder in a tight grip anyways, automatically.* (NT) -- Elle, 16:56:08 05/29/01 Tue ~*~He shake shis head with disaproval and takes both er arms over his shoulders and makes her take her hand with the other, he starts swimming towards the bank after this~*~ (NT) -- Russet, 16:59:06 05/29/01 Tue *Senses clearing as the time moves on, her mind connects what happened, and she flushes a bright red color, glad he was facing the other way. Or maybe it wouldn't have mattered, anyway, except for the flower somehow still tucked behind her ear.* (NT) -- Elle, 17:08:22 05/29/01 Tue ~*~He climbs up ontp the shore and shifts to lift her from the water* "Perfect time to go swiming eh?" (NT) -- Russet, 17:12:29 05/29/01 Tue *Still a bright flushed color, she manages a half glare, mood lessened considerably in her sopping state. Mutters* Perfect. *She manages an embarresed smile, turning more red as she manages a proper look at him. She lowers her gaze slightly* Um.... thanks. You... didn't have to do that. (NT) -- Elle, 17:18:45 05/29/01 Tue ~*~He steps back a little and shakes his head, water flys from his hair and face~*~ "it's alright" ~*~He walks over, grabbing his shirt and wiping his face dry with it, his hands shaking lightly merely qivering at the moment~*~ (NT) Russet 17:26:35 05/29/01 Tue ~§~ -- Elle, 18:19:34 05/29/01 Tue ~§~ -- Elle, 18:19:47 05/29/01 Tue ~*~>> -- Russet, 11:34:53 05/30/01 Wed ~§~ -- Elle, 12:34:46 05/30/01 Wed ~*~He breifly closes his eyes and waves his hand in the air in some strange movement, snapping his fingers again her dress is dry and looks like new, He opens his eyes and smiles, raising a brow~*~ "Better?" (NT) -- Russet, 12:59:31 05/30/01 Wed *She blinks, stares at the dress, blinks again. She looks back up again, smiling* Thanks... again... *She winds up her still slightly damp hair in a quick motion to keep it from soaking the dress again, fastening it with a comb. She glaces down at her dress again, giving a small spin and laughing* It's like... *Realizing what she is going to say, she cuts off with another short laugh* (NT) -- Elle, 13:10:25 05/30/01 Wed ~*~He tilts his head to the side and laughs lightly, smirking again and leaning against his horse's side~*~ "Like what?" (NT) -- Russet, 13:22:18 05/30/01 Wed *She looks up, laughing lightly* Like magic, of course! *She grins, shaking her head* Never mind. *She catches his gaze suddenly, a soft smile on her face* You know... I do not even know your name. I'm Elle, Elle Lockhart. (NT) -- Elle, 13:26:40 05/30/01 Wed ~*~He smiles and laughs lightly again~*~ "it's supposed to work like magic!" ~*~He walks to maybe a foot or so in front of her, drops to one knee and takes her hand, lightly kissing it~*~ "Pleasure Elle....I am Sir. Russet Leonhart" ~*~Rises as his mind once more mutters ~FORMER Sir Russet Leonhart....they will never take you back~~*~ (NT) -- Russet, 14:53:59 05/31/01 Thu *She smiles lightly, more plesently surprised at his introduction then mildly annoyed like she would have been. It's hard to be mad at someone who'd just saved your life- and who is quite handsome, at that. She curtsies slightly, dipping her gold crowned head gracefully.* A pleasure to meet you, Sir Russet Leonhart. (NT) -- Elle, 19:34:18 06/01/01 Fri ~*~He winces at the sound of the title~*~ "On second thought.......drop the Sir....just Russet is fine...and the pleasure is Mine" (NT) -- Russet, 19:46:55 06/01/01 Fri *She smiles lightly, muttering* Well, was planning on that... *She goes back to normal tone, then pauses for a moment, flushing faintly, at a loss for words. She never had problems speaking with her friends, but foriegn in this place and confronting a man she had met mere moments before was slightly unnerving* (NT) -- Elle, 19:58:53 06/01/01 Fri ~*~He looks towards the castle then up to the ever darkening sky~*~ "It's getting late....You should get back to the castle...and me..,I'll be on my way too....maybe i'll stay at Acton Street" (NT) -- Russet, 14:23:46 06/02/01 Sat Um... *She flushes slightly* Does the castle have places to stay? This is my first day here... I don't know much about this place. *Sighs and looks down, then realizes that sounds like a very typical 'damsel in distress' statement, and raises her gaze again fiercely.* If you could tell me how to get out of here, I will see what arrangements I can make however. *Hesitates slightly, she had no clue how she would do that but it sounded right.* (NT) -- Elle, 14:31:55 06/02/01 Sat ~*~He smiles and doesn't say a word, gathering the reins of his horse and removing the saddle from the back of the stallion, placing it just inside the woods then, throwing the reins over the neck of the horse, lifting himself onto the back of the horse~*~ "Give me your hand and i'll help you up....I'll take you to the inn" (NT) -- Russet, 14:48:55 06/02/01 Sat *In the end, it still was a DID speech.* But... No... *Sighs and drops her proud demure, taking the hand relucucantly but greatfully and hoisting herself aboard the horse behind him* You really don't need to do this... *Sighs and shuts up* (NT) -- Elle, 18:52:44 06/02/01 Sat ~*~ He smiles and clucks to the horse, taping his heels gently to it's sides and it jumps into a gentle trot towards the streets of the town~*~ (Next at Acton) (NT) -- Russet, 13:00:44 06/03/01 Sun
