The Fallen Angel and the Lion

[InsaneTruth]

"You did what you could... thats all any child asks of her father," Dasuke told Tannis "We will get you both fed rested and make sure you are both helathy in no time, you are free to stay here as long as you need,"

 

[Ricia]

"I'm sorry I was walking around your home... When your friend... Soki said there was a forest here... I thought I could go find a herb here... So I came here to find it... I'm a bit sorry about taking it straight from your garden...and hunting in your lands." Tannis told Dasuke, walking over to the bed and laying a gentle hand to Shania's forehead.

 

[InsaneTruth]

She was still very hot but she looked more at peace "I don;t mind, you needed it," Dasuke said

 

[Ricia]

Tannis nodded before kneeling to Shania. He pressed his face into her chest and checked her inner fire, her core temperature. "Her core... has been so cold.."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"her core?" Dasuke asked. Tannis could still feel the chill in her it would take time to rekindle,

 

[Ricia]

"She and I are creatures of fire... We hold fire in our cores... and hers is so cold..." He leaned away from her before putting his hand on her chest. Dasuke felt Tannis suddenly grow very warm, like he was a fire, without the flame.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"We will keep her nie and toasty," Daduke promised. "if we need to move you both to the kitchen where the fire stove is for heat we can."

 

[Ricia]

"She just needs to be kept warm.... My heat has helped a lot before." Tannis told him. He picked her up and held her to him and laid her head into his neck. "We'll see how she does in the morning... If I think she is not doing well I can move her down there."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Can I get you anything? we have a powerful mage in the house plenty of food and water and most everyplant you could need," Dasuke offered


Shania nuzzled into Tannis lightly

 

[Ricia]

"I'm ok... Maybe a bit hungry... my last meal was that deer yesterday..." Tannis told Dasuke, "I.. already know your mage friend. I didn't realized he lived here."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Really? thats good, and we have food Soki nornmaly does the cooking but I'll bring you something what would you like?"

 

[Ricia]

Tannis quietly thought for a moment, "I would happily take anything." Granted some foods tasted weird to him, but it was because he was a carnivor. "If.. you have any questions for me. I would be happy to answer." Tannis told Dasuke. "I understand that I am not.. normal for better of lack in terms."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Nobody here is, I won't ask questions... if I was going to I would have already," Dasuke knew the girl she was unmistakable his magic felt her and she carried the hellblade. "I'll bring up some meat and some honey tea to put some sugars back in her blood,"

 

[Ricia]

"Thank you again.." Tannis said before closing his eyes. "Really... I don't mind the question." He was not sure if it meant he didn't think he needed to pry...

 

[InsaneTruth]

Dasuke smiled but he just left to get food.

 

[Ricia]

Tannis remained still and holding Shania. He felt some how relieved... but he knew they were not quite out of the burner yet. Shania still needed to start showing improvements.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Dasuke came back with rare steak for Tannis and the honey Tea he took Shania's temperature "Its going down a bit," he said "thats a good sign."

 

[Ricia]

Tannis smiled a bit and nodded, "I'm glad... She is showing signs quickly..." Tannis said.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Yes," Dasuke smiled "I know what its like to worry she looks about Roses age,"

 

[Ricia]

"I thought the same thing when she had approached me yesterday afternoon..." Tannis said. That Rose looked the same age as Shania. "Her name is Shania." Tannis picked up the tea and took a sip of it to check the temperature.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Dasuke nodded "May i sit?" Dasuke asked

 

[Ricia]

Tannis nodded decided the tea needed to cool a bit more. "Please..." Tannis told Dasuke. Really he didn't have to ask, it was his home.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Dasuke sat down "I did want to thank you for being gentle with Rose."

 

[Ricia]

Tannis gave a questioning look, "You're... welcome?" The manticore was confused, obviously. "Children are fragile." Usually.. he sat on Shania quite a bit...

 

[InsaneTruth]

"They are, and you could have harmed her any time you had wanted but you chose not to," Dasuke said
