petal_storm | The time will come...

Who: Any
When: The height of Egyptian civilization.
What: Saving Elora's life.

Elora stretched her wings to the sky and yawned, staring
upward; it was such a brilliantly blue sky...clean and empty of anything she was used to. This was the first day she'd managed to be on her feet; time travel was hard on a body, especially as far back as they'd gone. She was honestly shocked her mother had managed to be up and BUILD A TEMPLE prior...

...granted it was Dahlia. The woman managed miracles on short notice. It would be intimidating if it wasn't so useful honestly.

Egypt.

Land of sands and...green lush plant life. They had arrived before the death cult had poisoned the Nile Valley; all the better honestly. She wouldn't do well in a dead land. Not after her mate had attacked her no...

The scars were a silvery river down her left side. Monstrous, painful...gods it had hurt. She idly traced fingers down the scars and watched people mill beyond the walls. He was here; somewhere. Her mate. Mother had promised and it made her...breathe again. She'd been dying they said, hence the extreme measures. Sh just say it as...and extension. A brief, clean moment between nightmares. She'd had a lot of those recently. Ever since being bitten her mind was...full of darker things.

But the light didn't hurt.

Gods the sun didn't hurt and she took that as a good sign.

"We taught you the language while you slept," Markux noted softly behind her. "We all learned. Here we can...find a better way."

"...thank you father," she breathed, still staring up at the sun. "If I fail..."

"You won't child. We won't lose you."

She...really wished they'd face facts. That they'd focus on her twin yet...here they were. "I'll try. Jaeger's going to hate it..."

"So he's told us," Markux agreed quietly.

"...does he hate me?"

"Never dear."

She wasn't certain she believed him honestly but she let it go for now as she aired her wings. "People will be confused."

"Let them be," Markux chuckled softly. "We're good at making people listen anyway."

"I'm sorry to have scared you."

"Never dear, just keep breathing," he smiled, touching her hair. "And be with Corvus when we say hello to to the people?"

...ah. "Of course." How not? This was Egypt after all, animal mixes...were a good thing.

"See? Optimist," she chuckled, nibbling the edge of the frame. Damn crow tendency to tongue things.

He chuckled. "Alright."

"I'm going to show Jaeger my shiny!"

He smiled. "Go, go!"

She kissed his cheek and smiled, heading back to show her brother yesssss. "Shinnnny."

Jaeger tilted his head. "Oh I like that."

"I would love some nice shed feathers for some feather painting if you don't mind. I painted that a while ago with gold leaf paint."

"I have a small bag at home, I'll send it," Elora agreed, nodding. "None or close now I'm afraid." Else she'd just pull a few.

"Sure, don't pluck yourself that's not a good look."

"No, and that's dangerous besides," she agreed.

"Mmmhmmm, but keep those two primaries you set aside Elora." Dahlia noted.

"...I have no idea why I set them aside."

"When did you set them aside?"

"When I woke up here, after my first night out," she admitted, shrugging slightly.

"Ah, new primaries." He nodded. "You'll know what to do with them when the time comes."

"I won't send them," she agreed softly. "Just poking at the puzzle in my head a lot."

"Mmhm." he nodded.

"Thank you," Ana smiled. "It has been sometime since my love painted." She'd like to see it!

"I've been dabbling with my instruments again lately."

"Ys," Ans grinned toward him, "I like that too I admit."

"It has been... refreshing. And dinner." He noted setting out an array of things ranging from completely vegetarian to in between to... mostly rare meats.

Ans cleared away he tiles and smiled, arranging plates centrally yes. Orchid settled beside Jaeger again, leaning on him a touch tiredly, "I should leave after meal I'm afraid..."

"Alright..." He nodded. "I'm just glad you got to come."

"It is...nice," she admitted, yawning. "But draining. Quite far from my roots."

"Ah," He nodded. "Any way to make that last longer or...?"

"...more gardens?" she shrugged. "I'm not certain, I have never been this far from them."

"Would it help if you had a garden here?" Shinose asked.

"I do not know, but maybe?"
