Tiger & Snake on Northern Manse

*Uichcka sighed and crawled out from under the table, her once-still form suddenly coming into motion as she climbed onto the seat*

You should help him wash. He might miss and it feels good to have somebody wash your back when you don't feel good

*the little girl looked a bit bored, her mind not on their relationship much anymore, though the worry screaming from the tiger woman's body made Uichcka shake her head*

You should at least do something

*she hopped off her seat and petted Kahn's back comfortingly, then came around in front of her and put her little forehead to Kahn's. Their noses touching, she looked right into her eyes and smiled before skipping off to find the food god and tell him about the spill*

*Dal had managed to stumble over a thousand comforts lounge and knock over a small table in the corridor leading away to the bathroom, he cursed slightly but what was more important was an immediate source of running water. He tried again to open his eyes but it was no use, the spicy soup left his eyes flooded with tears, blurring his vision and the burning once again forced his eye lids back together. He moved along the wall tentatively trying to guide himself in the right direction and avoid destroying everything in his path from there on.*

"I like spicy food just fine, but dang... If you had sprayed me in the eyes with this in our fight earlier I wouldn't have stood a chance!"

* Kahn's posture relaxed as she watched him walk over, leaning forward a little to get a better look at him*

" You need help, Solar?... Sight is a hard sense to replace, but you shold be fine. Maybe I should remember that Quie-Ra's cooking can be used as a weapon.... Here! I know what I can do!"

* Her tattoos began to shimmer as she walked over to Dal. She placed a hand on ether shoulder and held him steady in place. Leaning forward, she opened her mouth, revealing that her tongue was glowing silver. She then ran her tongue over each of his eyes, relieving both the sight and the pain completely.
She then stepped back and nodded*

" There, that should be better"

"Wha.. what are you doing?"

*His eyes having still been closed when she grabbed him, his head jerked when her face came up to his and she licked his first eye.*

"Kahn... I..!"

*When she licked the other he began to notice the relief in both eyes and couldn't help blushing a little bit, having neither expected such contact or having physical contact with a woman in more than a year. He opened his eyes and looked at her blinking rapidly, surprised that it already felt so much better.*

"Oh you just -"

*He stared into her eyes in silence, for a brief moment his body moved in spite of him, he very slightly lurched forward and his hands started to come up and then Kahn stepped back, he thought quick and changed his hands course to rub his eyes and smiled."

"Yeah it is, it's a lot better... Yeah thanks"

*His mind searched but failed to figure out what to do next, and he just stood there looking some kind of awkward. He still couldn't believe what he had just tried to do. His feet shifted slightly as he considered trying to make his way back to the table.*

* Kahn nodded, moving back to her seat. She had always prided herself on being the kind of person who was ready for anything, and what better than a warrior with field medicinal applications*
" Like it? A little trick I learned farther south from a No-Moon... I never knew a shaman who could punch as hard as she could. Taught me a valuable lesson about being a Lunar."

* She turned her chair around, straddling it while she leaned her top half over the back rest, rocking back and forth slowly as she did*

" you ever meet someone who turns your whole view on life upside-down? I mean, she told me that 'the only true failure is one you don't walk away from'... of course, I didn't understand it at the time, but it makes sense now. You don't just win or lose. Even if you are bested, that is an opportunity for growth."

* Kahn reached out and grabbed her spoon and continued eating while sitting over her chair, still speaking no less... once more pontificating the fact that she was a barbarian through and through*

" She also said ' when you stop growing, you stop living'. I have escaped death enough already. Never again will I chose to live the stagnant life like the walking dead... Then I would be no better than that Walker in Darkness creep.."

*Kahn shakes her head a moment with her spoon handing half way out of her mouth as her gaze unfocused. She was redoubtably picturing again that day she narrowly escaped her doom at the hands of a deathlord. Just as quickly, she snapped back into reality and smiled, pulling the spoon out of her mouth and setting it on the table*

" So yes.. its a handy trick to have, especially in dire situations. Come to think of it, this is the only time I have used it outside of combat situations.... and all those times I was in my beast man form "

* her expression froze for a split second, then she chuckled and nodded, gripping the armrests of the chair and heaving it and herself upwards, re-positioning them both back in their proper sitting position*

" But we don't let things like that hold us up. We are gods after all, right?"
*
She reached out and punched him softly on his shoulder, her own arm seeming to stretch a short distance to do this*

*Dal, still stunned, made his way over to his chair and sat back down heavily as if he had just finished doing something exhausting. He looked back over at Kahn and so began an epic battle between him and his eyes as he struggled not to look straight down the cleavage kahn was so shamelessly displaying him with her current stance. He flinched when she seemed to threaten to throw the chair, but settled when she didn't.*

"Uh.. yeah, those are wise words. I've not been lucky enough to have such a mentor myself... But I was shown kindness by an entire village at a time when I'd almost forgotten what it was. That most likely saved me from a much darker path. I may have never been Chosen if not for them taking me in and softening my callous heart."

*their voices grew quieter as she sauntered throughout the manse, searching for the man who had given her the good food. It had gotten very serious and personal with those two and she didn't feel right intruding on that right now. They were being funny, but she would interrupt later after she had seen if she could elicit some sort of sweets out of the food-man.

First stop was the kitchen*

* In the kitchen, Quie-Ra had a very sophisticated line cook system running, with him at the helm and six elementals assisting him. by the smell of the kitchen, they were making some form of hand cakes with oats as the base as usual.
Quie was watching carefully as the elementals popped the cakes out of their pans, moving them to a nearby basket whenever he finds one that does not meet the standards required of an Exalt. When they were sorted out, he tasked his elementals with piping the cream cheese frosting on them. Quie was about to join in, when he noticed the child in the kitchen. He was not sure what to do at first, but then grabbed an oat cake, piped some frosting on it and handed it to her*

" You like my cooking so much you come looking for it? How can I say no to that? Have the first one of the day. If you ever want a something to eat, feel free to come down here and my staff or myself can help you with that!."

* Seeing that his elementals were now done with the cakes, he gathered them up on a platter and carried them out to the table*

" Did I hear one of you refer to yourselves as 'Gods'? You Exalts are a lot of things.. chosen of the highest divinity, rulers and as history has proven, saviors... but you are not gods."

* Quie Ra places the platter on the table and steps back, giving a not in satisfaction at his execution and presentation*

" You know, Dal.. sometimes having a mentor isn't a good thing. Cho-Hi-Xo had one for a long time and he hated him. I wouldn't blame anyone though... it was a wonder The Unconquered Sun Exalted him as his priest."

*When he first noticed her, she simply stared silently at Quie-Ra, watching him process her presence and then finally move into motion and give her a cake. A smile flashed across her face as she took the cake from him and she flicked her tongue out at it, both tasting and smelling at the same time. She took a bite and followed Quie out to the table, listening to him comment at the two out there. After swallowing her mouthful, she looked up at Quie and shrugged*

They made a mess and want to make a baby.

*her eyes looked between the three of them, unblinking, as she flicked frosting off the cake, leaving forked grooves in it*
