* The trio continued to walk on for a short while, past the huge defensive structure attached to the wall that went on as far as the eye can see, and onto the rolling grassy flat lands and small hills that southern Imperveress had to offer. As a new Empire, there was no construction out this far... simply fields and a hand full of rubble and ruins from ancient structures.
But in the distance, a gigantic, silver, circular castle like structure appeared as if out of nowhere... obviously a manse. The manse glittered in the afternoon light from its silver accents, a shinning gem in the distance*
* Chaste Obsidian pointed out at the manse in the distance as they walked out towards it*
" Do you think Arachnia of the Hour is in there?"
* Black Asp rolled her eyes, then giggled once more, finding it humorous that he let himself open so often for shots*
" No, I believe castles grow here like oak trees, Chaste Obsidian"
* He said nothing, simply fumed in silence at the remark Black Asp had made as they walked the 300 feet to the entrance of the manse*

*in but a moment Zeriku appeared with two towels, one that was dry for his face and another that was dampened in something colorless that smelled like vinegar*
Here you are, Dal'Lumen, this should fix you right up. Make sure to get around the cuticles

*the Empress ran a hand through her hair and smoothed her hand over the belly of her gown. She wasn't looking forward to meeting these other Lunars, but what could she do? Sentinel had let them in and according to rules couldn't be rude without consequences*
It's not necessary for you to come out with me, though I suppose that you can if you like
*Arachnia walked down the hall and to the door that was visible from where they had been standing. Her expression fell into its natural nearly-aroused state as the door opened and she walked out, her hips swaying seductively with glimpses of snow-white skin peeking through the long slits of her dress. When she was in a comfortable distance from the approaching group she stopped and watched them with interest until they were within a few feet from her. A cloaked woman had her hood back revealing a waning Lunar caste mark, which piqued Arachnia's curiosity even more, wondering if they were bringing a third member to her Unblooded retinue. She allowed her gaze to travel the length of each person in front of her, a secret smile creeping on the corners of her lips that suggested she wanted each one of them. When she did speak, her voice was low and a little quiet for outside, only adding to the sexual atmosphere that rolled off of the spider in front of them*
Hello and welcome to Imperveress, I am Arachnia of the Hour. To what or whom may I owe this visit?

Resplendent Wood 3,
*Lirimana grinned to herself as Arachnia started walking away*
I don't know about you guys, but I'm following. This is an invaluable opportunity to study..
*with a mischievous look she nearly skipped down the hall as she came up to the door and stopped. She would watch from here, not that interested in going any closer, it would be fine from this spot since they were only fifteen or twenty feet away. Again, each one of them was hot, and Lirimana couldn't help but watch as each one moved, especially the tall woman. Those curves were killer...*

Dal' guzzled the glass of water and traded Zeriku for the towels. He scrubbed at the spot on his chin aggressively with his one free hand.
When he was satisfied, he looked back and forth searching for a place to set his plate down, shrugged, and raised his leg, bent at the knee, creating a flat surface to put the plate on. He whipped the dry towel over his shoulder and started to scrub his hands with the wet one. The plate swayed, threatening to topple over to the floor, but Dal'Lumen always corrected it as if such an act was completely arbitrary and beneath his notice. Looking a bit like a heavily muscled stork standing upon one foot, balancing a plate of food on his knee, grooming it's self.
*Slopping the other town over his shoulder he jerked his knee up, sending the plate soaring back up and gently into Dal'Lumens hands again. He resumed eating like nothing had happened.*
"Well, It's not like I'm doing anything important right now, I'll go see whats going on...
*He didn't want to leave the new guy by himself in a powerful manse, he looked over at Dargo and jerked his head in the direction of the door.*
"Come my friend, let's get a look at what your kind are doing."
*He polished off his food, and slapped the towels on the dish and handed it all back to Zeriku.*
"I can't possibly thank you enough for your hospitality Zeriku!"
*He gave her a charming grin, bowed graciously, and turned to stride off outside beside Lirimana. Where he crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame, a lump moving about under his lips and cheeks indicating that his tongue was searching for any straggling bits of food between his teeth.*

* Black Asp curtsied to Arachnia, smiling slightly as she picked up the tresses of her green skirt, as to not let it touch the ground*
" Good afternoon, Miss Arachnia of the Hour. I am Heysha Black Asp, and my Traveling companion here is Chaste Obsidian. We have come from a great distance to bring to you a message of good will from the Elder, Magnificent Yaguar. He seeks to form a strategic alliance with your nation. His people are many, yet fractured, but he could help you bring the east to it Yust rulers.
As a token of good faith, Magnificent Yaguar has sent with us an unblooded Lunar here... Her name is Sayana and she has every chance in Creation to be great.
What do you say, Empress? Master Magnificent Yaguar could be a great boon to you and your people."

*The others may have not already noticed, but Dargo was a master of disguise and was up to speed and hidden within the group.*
"Shhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazboooooooooom!"
*There was a flash of grey dusty smoke! Dargo arose from the clearing smoke as it drifted away into the wind and made himself known to these new faces.*
"Hey Heysha Black Asp and Chaste Obsidian! I'm Dargo! Nice to meet--chya."
*Dargo turned his head to look over to Arachnia. His squinted eyes, from the sun light, looked excited as was his Cheshire-like grin.
He answered her last question.*
"I like people better. They're just more of a challenge!"

*Upon witnessing a manse seemingly appear in front of her, the young lunar's mouth opens and closes a few times before she is quite clear what to think. As an intimidatingly beautiful woman steps out of the doorway while two other unknown people lurk in the entrance, she slips behind Chaste Obsidian*
Eep! M-maybe I should find somewhere else to...
*Her words trail off as a puff of smoke fills her vision to the sound of someone yelling a seeming nonsensical word, and she redoubles her efforts not to be seen*
...wow, this place just keeps getting weirder and weirder!

*Chaste Obsidian Stood back and watched as Black Asp spoke to The Empress... but it was when Dargo Leapt out from his hiding, did the hairs on the back of his neck raise... but it was Sayana jumping behind him that cued his natural protector's instincts, and with that, he leapt back, bending his right leg completely, while letting his left leg lay flat on the ground for a split second, then flexed and expanded both legs, causing him to shoot forward with tremendous force, attempting to knock Dargo out.. but realizing at the last second that this person was not a threat... but was actually being rather friendly... but it was too late to stop the blow entirely, and still landed the hit.
( 7 suxx- Dargo's DV <5> + 3-3=2 <1>)
The hit was not severe, but left an angry bruise on Dargo's cheek. Quickly realizing what he did, Chaste Obsidian's demeanor changed completely from stoic to apologetic*
" Wow.. I am so sorry, Dargo is it?... be careful when you jump out at people... I have been in the wyld for a long time, and usually when something pops up like that, its trying to kill you. Are you okay?... is there anything I can do for you?"
( Dargo takes 1 level of bashing damage)

Resplendent Wood 3,
You are welcome, Dal'Lumen
*Zeriku took the dishes and towels that were handed to her, not seeming bothered in the least that she had become a maid and caretaker for the residents in this Manse. When she had gathered everyone's dishes she bowed to them all as they ran towards the new group, disappearing to the kitchen with the dirty tableware*

Resplendent Wood 3,
*Arachnia kept the sensual smile on her face while she listened to what Black Asp had to say, watching the one noted as Sayana slip behind Chaste Obsidian*
I do not doubt that this Unblooded will be great, each and every one of them has great potential, why else would Luna grant one her favor?
*the Empress's tone was agreeable, her comment a concurrence to the older Lunar's statement. She flashed Sayana a smile and opened her mouth to continue when Dargo chose to startle their meeting members. Her only reaction was a single blinking of her eyes. When Chaste Obsidian apologized she shook her head, midnight locks swaying ever-so-slightly*
Do not be sorry, Chaste Obsidian, that bruise should act as a reminder not to approach a predator from behind without proper notice
*she turned an admonishing look to Dargo, hiding her embarrassment at one of her soon-to-be students being rude. Since Chaste Obsidian had pulled the hit she saw no reason for him to get away with it, the blow could have been much more severe. Returning her attention to Black Asp, Arachnia left the two to work it out*
I appreciate the offer but I cannot give you an answer right away. This is something that involves my Mate as well, thus I must ask if there is another way for us to contact you when we have conferred with one another. It will be a few days..

His face met the palm of his hand with a smack as he witnessed Dargo leap out in front of the obviously cautious visitors, but just as quickly as he had mysteriously appeared in front of the others, the man with them had given the surprise greeter a swift kick to the face. Dal cringed and started to walk over grudgingly. Was it going to be like this all the time with this guy? He shuddered to think about having to Lunar sit on a regular basis.
*He trumped over to the group with a smile hybrid somewhere between, being happy to meet you, and being sorry about your friend.*
"Hello friends, Dal'Lumen's the name, welcome to Imperveress..."
"Dargo will be fine, hes tougher than he looks...."
*he looked somewhat unsure about that*
"I think...
*An ominous glare loomed down to Dargo from the large Zenith's gray eyes.*
Let's give the nice people a chance to talk to the Empress a bit - eh fellah' .... Before you earn yourself more than that tame little bruise from this man."
"Come!"
*He commanded in his astoundingly large voice, which Dal gave Dargo no choice in the matter.
He grabbed Dargo by the back of his shirt as if he were an I'll mannered cat, which was simply Dal's way of avoiding Dargos skin should more ink be hiding under it. With a fluid wave like action Dal' puled Dargo a few yards from the others to give them their space to get acquainted.*

*when Dargo leapt out screaming Lirimana's head moved back just a little as she gave him a funny look. That guy was cute but rather strange.. It was too bad that hottie out there wasn't her Lunar Mate... any of them, really.. The Twilight sighed a bit to herself and kept watching them. Of course Ress would need to be consulted for something like that, it was mostly his empire after all... Deciding that since Dargo had already jumped in on Arachnia's meeting, she would go over instead of standing at the door and eavesdropping. She knew that they knew that she was there anyhow. With that conclusion she walked over to the group and stood a little outside of the circle. Even though she was there didn't mean that she was to join in on the meeting. She had no idea how Lunar politics worked and didn't want to ruin something for Arachnia*

* Black Asp stepped back at the flash of conflict, her expression changing to worry as she placed a hand to her chest. When it resolved itself, she smirked and turned to look at Chaste Obsidian, moving her hand from her chest to her hip, a brow quirked slightly*
" Awww... so the monk is really a hero. You always protect the pretty women in trouble, no?"
* He sighed, his cheek tinging the slightest bit pink as he centered himself once more* " I would have acted to protect you as well, if I knew you needed it"
* Her hand swiftly moved from her hip and up to her face, where she began fanning herself, giving theblushing monk a wink*
" So that is yes? I thought so"
* she laughed as she turned her attention from the now beat red Lunar and back to the vastly grown group of Exalts*
" You need time to think? Magnificent Yaguar thought you might need time. When you have your answer, yust send an underling."
* As she spoke of 'underlings', she motioned to Dargo, Sayana and supizingly enough... Dal'Lumen*
" Empress Arachnia of the Hour... We have bee traveling a very long time and have come very far... would you be so generous as to grant Chaste Obsidian and myself a place to stay and rest, before going back south?
We will be more than happy do work for you for the duration of our stay.
* Her eyes wandered back over to Dargo, another wry mile crossing her lips as she watched his movement and went over his humor*
"Dargo, yes?... he will one day be a great Changing Moon... like me. Some Lunar require very little tempering to go from silver, to Moonsilver.
* Her forehead glittered and glowing as her waxing crescent moon caste mark sprang to life. In addition, the tattoos all over her body glowed a bright silver, causing the snake scales on her hips and waist to become more prominent*

*her smile was turned on Chaste Obsidian again as he flushed, amused that Black Asp was intentionally striking sensitive points in his personality. She gave Black Asp a wink*
He's cute when he's embarrassed
*the Empress's hand went to her hip and her head gestured slightly in the direction of Dargo and Dal'Lumen, absolutely thrilled that they thought a Solar was under her command. Whether he was or not wasn't the point, simply the fact that the notion was there was enough*
Yes, all of my Unblooded will be great. Soon they will be tattooed, which will save Dargo a great deal of trouble. There is room and food in the Imperial Manse for you. Would you like separate rooms, or to share one?...
*as her expression shifted over to Chaste Obsidian a curl formed at the corner of her lip, creating a suggestive look as her gaze intensified for a moment*
