In reply to: Tize'em 's message, "The usual mysteriously unknown smile at his lips, he continues to hold on to her hand; cupping it in his own larger ones. "Is it not?" He hisses softly, similar to the sound a rogue wind makes slinking about dead and dying leaves. "And yet your holding in your hand a gift from a stranger...that's either very trustworthy or very foolish." His pale skin takes on a glowing tone as the light from the ball of magic touches it. "Do you think you can trust me?"" on 20:00:41 12/26/01 Wed

"Would you believe me if I said that the reason I gave it to you is because your astonishing beauty so astounded me and I thought it looked well with your dress?" Humor sits lonesome in his biting tone. (NT) -- Tize'em, 19:45:00 12/27/01 Thu
- She appears to look thoughtful. "Honestly, I wouldn't. There are a thousand, or so it seems, gorgeous women in this room, but you singled out only one. And flattery doesn't get very far with me. The main reason I probably don't believe you is that you are too antagonistic. The way you carry yourself is arrogant and self-assuming, like you know you could have whatever you want."

  - "Look around, dear lady. Even your former mate held himself with self assurance, I'm just one of many. The only difference between them and me is that I always get what I want." At this he smiles mirthlessly, and the ball of magic jumps slightly in her hand in response. (NT) -- Tize'em, 16:02:22 12/28/01 Fri
    - She narrows her eyes. "I'm sure you do," she says, turning to walk away. (NT) -- Daughter of Light, 16:07:12 12/28/01 Fri
      - He shrugs lightly, disappearing...for the moment. (NT) -- Tize'em, 16:08:29 12/28/01 Fri
        Sighing in relief, she sits down, observing the powerful glow of the magic. (NT) -- Daughter of Light, 16:09:58 12/28/01 Fri
        It pulses with a compelling rythem of beauty, now a color of azure, now violet, now sky blue, now deep sea marine. It's subtle transitions captiving, planting it's enticing glow into her mind. (Allow me some power playing, please, thanks in advance.) (NT) -- Magic(hee hee), 16:53:12 12/28/01 Fri

        (powerplay as you wish, so long as you don't kill me. lol) As if entranced, she stares deeper into the ball, searching for its secrets while captivated by the endless shifting colors. (NT) -- Daughter of Light, 17:13:04 12/28/01 Fri
        Like a bottomless body of water it pulls her mind deeper into its bright depths. It almost seems to be satisfied...but can magic really have emotions? (NT) -- Magic, 17:44:59 12/28/01 Fri
