There Will Be An End

[Ricia]

Axesort gave the Mouse a bit of a look, but he wasn't that loud. "Thank you for the compliment." Axesort said. Though their cooks were just a few of the women who choose the job. Reyes popped out of Rhea's shirt again and took hold of the small slice of pork in his claws before biting a small piece. It looked up at Glitter, who was staring at it intently. It then squeaked at her.


"He doesn't know how to speak yet?" Axesort asked her.


"No.. sir. I've tried teaching him.. but I think he is still very young." She said softly.


"I see. Well I hope you've found everything satisfying. The only baths in the house is a bath house however, as I like to keep a sense of community. I suggest going late at night or early morning before people get up." Axesort said with a chuckle.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I have no issues with public bathing houses," Rue said "unless of course they are coed," she said


Glitter had to smile "You are just precious," she told Reyes

 

[Ricia]

"No, there is female and male." Axesort reassured Rue. "The waters come from the natural springs in the geyser field. The water is very good for your sink. It would be good for the hatchling's scales." Axesort noted to Rhea.


Rhea looked up at him a nodded, "I'll be sure to do that, sir." Reye's eyed Glitter a bit longer before returning to the meat at hand.


"Tomorrow I would be wiling to give you a tour of me keep... but of course after sparing and breakfast." Axesort said with a smirk.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Sure you will feel up to it?" Rue asked with a grin "I might overwork you,"


"Rue... please watch what you say," her father said Ashewinter had to stiffle a chuckle

 

[Ricia]

Axesort laughed, but cleared his throat. "I am sure you won't be too much to handle. I'm starting to think you are all roar and no bite." He told Rue.


"This is so intense." Miucci said happily.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"We will see now wont we?" Rue smiled and took a bite of food making sure to look innocent to cover the mischievous hint in her smile.


Star giggled and took Miu's hand "I'm really exited," she said tail wagging

 

[Ricia]

Somewhere during the dinner, Axesort leaned in to whisper to Mousey, "I want to know who that girl is... she is effecting every dragon in the room in strange ways.."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I know," Mousey said rubbing his head "She's a servant girl calm tempered and smart. She is not someone who poses a threat alone. She is however obsessed with Dragons," Mousey whispered

 

[Ricia]

"Hmm..." Axesort said, unsure of what else to do about it. If that was all Mousey could tell him... it was possible the girl didn't know she was doing it.


When the dinner passed, Axesort found a bit hard to keep a balance between Rue's playful ways and a formal meeting. Eventually, he just gave up and the girls really flowed with Rue's energy. The night went on and everyone went to bed. Which was the time Ray usually bathed, of course Saskai was there too. Her long purple hair was up in a bun.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Rue walked in "Oh sorry I didn't expect anyone to be here this late," she said she was wrapped in a cloth her clothing for bed set aside. "I havent met you both yet I'm Ashterue or Rue for short,"

 

[Ricia]

The two women looked up at her. Ray glared a her, "Ray..."


Saskia however smiled, "I am Saskia, I'm the teller of the keep. Ray is head mage."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Rue raised a brow at Ray "Oh you're the mage Ashur said likes to glare a lot. Hello Ray hello Saskai," she got into the water "Oh this feels wonderful!"

 

[Ricia]

"It does feel good. Don't mind Ray. She is always like that. It took me a couple of months to get use to it." Saskia said softly.


Ray melted a bit into the water, though her glare gained more hostility, "I'm so glad I fall under people who needs getting use to.."


"Hey.. your the only one who matches perfectly with Zach..." Saskia said with a shrug.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Rue smiled "Well I think your glare is charmingly hostile as a mage of a keep should be," she told Ray and smiled "how do you both like it here?"

 

[Ricia]

"No comment..." Ray said quietly, looking away.


"I love it here. I was a slave before all this... Lord Ashur bought me.. then free'd me. I had a choice of returning home, but really... there was nothing there for me. No job, no family that needed me..." Saskia shrugged, "He gave us a job.. protection. I helped with the family bank in Terrin before this. Of course I've written home to let my folks know i'm alive.. but working as a teller for a Lord? I moved up in the world I think. You are here just visiting, yes?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I am," Rue said "visiting Ashur I do hope i and he will have a wonderful friendship, he is so ambitious and I can't wait to test his skills in battle!"

 

[Ricia]

"You have no idea..." Ray mumbled.


"Ray just doesn't like working. She dissapeares most the day." Saskia said with a shrug.


"I have at least 20 jobs to do around here. I need to go tomorrow to check the perimeters. Ashur also mentioned something about the breeders.. I wasn't listening." Ray murmured.


"That Troy guy is pretty cute... he seems pretty sweet all confused about life." Saskia said in a bit of soft thought.


Ray just gave a side wards disgusted glance.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"The breeders?" Rue asked blinking a few times. "you should listen to the lord of the keep, I imagine as kind as he is he must have a bad side to counter it,"

 

[Ricia]

"Again... you have no idea..." Ray said with a snort.


"I've not seen a bad side..." Saskia said curious, "Ray... you've seen it? You have been around longer."


"No... I've never seen him angry. But I would never cross him." She said, "To put it bluntly."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Everyone has both a good and a bad side, its the nature of living things. perfection if for the gods, and even they do it wrong," Rue said and smiled running some water over her arms her long red hair was fanned out around her in the water, though she was only half submerged.

 

[Ricia]

"Make him angry on your own time...." Ray said before standing to leave.


Saskia watched Ray take her towel and dry off a bit before leaving to dress.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I didn;t mean to be unpleasant," Rue said softly and blinked she wondered who hurt Ray nobody was that unpleasant without a dark past

 

[Ricia]

"She's kind of always like that. She doesn't walk much. Except to her student and when she is teaching class. Mousey also gets the most reaction of her too..." Saskia said with a shrug, "Everyone had gotten use to it really."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I see," Rue said and looked at Saskia. "I thank you for being so nice," she told her

 

[Ricia]

"It's fine. You're a stranger and as a former slave, I still tend to be a bit shy. Actually I have to say my favorite person at the keep to talk to is Nina. She is quite my type as far as conversation goes." Saskia said with a chuckle, "She is our blacksmith."
