Where Wisteria Dreams

Resplendent Fire 23,


*Well, it looks like this was the place. Ramoth, city of trees... No wonder this was where the Wood Aspects were being centered. The woman who thought such things sat astride a strange waspish motorcycle-like contraption, the aforementioned creation of which she patted lovingly*

This is our new home, Queen, I think we'll like it here

*the woman who smiled lovingly at the thing called "Queen" had long slender legs, wide but attractive hips that gave her a curvy waist that led to large full breasts and a beautiful face that glowed with health. All of this was wrapped up in lightly-tanned skin and topped with a colorful array of locks that had a base of white with natural highlights of blue, green, purple and pink in a smooth blending of shades. Rich brown eyes sparkled with anticipation as she and Queen sped off to the mouth of the manse. When they got there she swung her leg over and stood up to her full height of five foot seven inches. Queen began to disassemble herself, much like a Transformer, and reshape into what would be best described as a giant metal wasp with spider legs. As the two of them entered the manse the scent of jasmine was in the air*

* Just inside the manse, A dark green haired man with skin the color of tree bark danced in the first hall. He wore a flowing set of robes, looking like a male courtesan as he effortlessly glided about the room to music that only he could hear. His hair flowed about like fine vines that swayed and moved as he did, fanning out as he turnned, almost as if to match his robes. He did not notice the entrance of the woman or her mechanical friend at all, completely lost in his dance to the joy of life*

*she looked from her understated but pretty blouse and practical pants tucked into boots and she sighed a little, brightening back up as she remembered where she was and that the culture-hell she had been in was no more her concern and this man in all of his beauty was a representation of what was to come. As he slowed in his steps she clapped, walking forward so as to be noticed and not trip him, though she wasn't sure he could. As an afterthought she smoothed down her colorful strands, seeing how kept he looked in comparison to her just-off-the-road style. Running her fingers through her locks she tried to be more presentable, feeling the flush of needing to impress coming through*

[Ress]

* Upon hearing the clapping, his dancing slowed until he came to a stop in front of her. he smiled a little dreamily, then gave her a bow, his sleeves billowing out as he bent down.*

"Hello! how are you today? I am Valerian Root.... feel like dancing?"

* He spoke slow and soft, but like one who was truly happy with his place in life*

[Terrestrial]

Resplendent Fire 23,


I, well, alright...

*a blush hit her cheeks and she went to Valerian Root, stopping in front of him and brushing a lock of hair behind her ear*

My name is Wisteria, it is a pleasure to meet you

*she offered a short bow, her legs bowing to make a curtsy-like motion, proferring her hand to start the dance at the same time*

By your leave

[Ress]

* He bowed in return, taking her hand carefully in his. This dance was far different than the one before. Where as the last one was a dance for one and celebrated life, this was made for two, and was a dance that emphasized togetherness and never being alone.
He lead effortlessly, as if floating on air, and the fact that he was holding her seemed to make her steps lighter as well.

He seemed to dance to a steady and consistent beat that only he could hear in his head. All things needed to come to an end, and this dance was no different and all too soon it was over.

He let her go, taking a step back, then heaved a little sigh, his sleepy looking eyes looking her over*

" Thank you for the dance... I am impressed. Hello Wisteria. You smell of Jasmine. Is this your native scent, or perhaps this is a perfume you enjoy? I must say, I do hope to smell it often..."

Resplendent Fire 23,


*she danced along with him, following smoothly and her thoughts stayed with the close happiness implied in the dance. When they were done she let a wistful sigh escape and looked up at him through her lashes for a moment before smiling and facing him fully*

Thank you, I'm pleased you think highly of my skills. Jasmine is just for the summer as my scent changes with the seasons. For the rest of fire will blooming jasmine fill the air

*Wisteria's gaze traveled him over now that she had a better look at his still person*

[Ress]

" Is something wrong, Wisteria?.. is there something I can do for you?"

* Valerian root was a godlike individual (app:5) and even his dreamy smile was something that could change anyone's day. It was hard to tell much else from this man, as his flowing courtesan like robes concealed much of his body* " What are your plans for the future, Wisteria? Are you a sorcerer-engineer? "

* he motioned to her mechanical partner, then knelt down to get a better look at it* " Beautiful design... but I am afraid I do not know much about such crafts"

[Terrestrial]

Resplendent Fire 23,


What? Oh, no no, I found Queen, I didn't make her

*she blushed some more, entranced by his smile and his attentions*

I'm afraid I have a much more humble passion, I was an events coordinator in Greyfalls. I planned parties for the nobles and visiting dignitaries, as well as any other sorts of events, though they were few. Otherwise I tended my gardens, which I am afraid I had to leave behind...

*Wisteria looked sheepish for a moment, as though embarrassed to admit this*

The possible events and parties I could have planned were blasphemy in Greyfalls and much more suited to this empire.. Even the colors are brighter here. It feels good to be able to put down roots in such a cultured place
