Hoarfrost	The small shack that is Hoarfrost's house sits in a clearing dead in the heart of the Wintersong. The small hovel has a tall pointed room to keep the snow off, but age and poor upkeep has left is just a little bent. This gives it the odd appearance of looking almost like a witches hat. A simple tin pipe sticks up from a corner. Lazy puffs of smoke coming up from the small potbelly stove within. In front of the door a small little porch with a massive wolf creature curled up under it. The supports bent from the animals bulk not fitting quiet right in the smaller space. A small group of animals mill about in the center. Some here to feed on the strangely verdant greenery under the fresh snow. Others look like they are waiting on someone, or something to show up, giving the forest an uncommonly active appearance.
Rishi	A shadow falls over the clearing, croscrossing it multiple times, likely scattering the animals before Rishi comes in for a landing. She brushes her silken hair back, and calls out "Hello! Frosty? Ammy?" before walking up to the shack.
Amethyst	Inside, Amethyst stirs from her seat and stretches, and looks at her love. She giggles, and bounces over towards the door. The fishy lady clad in her usual outfit, tho not with the alchemists gear strapped to her. That's still sitting in a corner. And one might still see the sleepy in her eyes, it wasn't terribly long ago that woke up. "Good morning Rishi." And then she shoots a grin over to her love, making way for Rishi to enter.
Hoarfrost	The inside of the shack as unimpressive as the outside, perhaps even more so. Two chairs that look like they recently have been put back together with glue rope and prayers. A table covered in claw marks and unidentifiable stains deep in the wood. A sagging couch that might have at one point been called 'overstuffed' but now claw marks and some stitching later make it as wrinkly and droopy as a pug. %R On the other side of the small room is crammed a kitchen. The stove and a counter with an off kilter cabinet above. A stone basin making for a simple pump sink. Amethyst is also there working the stove making a large pot of oatmeal. All manner of berries sit in a bowl next to it ready to be added when it is done. "Oh! I'm glad I made allot." The alchemist's duplicate chirps. "Can I make you a bowl too?"
Rishi	Rishi comes in, ducking under the door then she blinks and headtilts at the two Ammys. "Ammy?" She sniffs the air for a moment, then brightens "Ah! You have found the way to use the intimacy to take the person's shape, yes? No, no. Do not tell me which of you is which. It is more fun to figure out." She smiles at you both and accepts a bowl of oatmeal.
Amethyst	"Yeah, I guess I did figure it out." Amethyst grins, rubbing the back of her head. Ears go down. "Did you know that Ammy really knows how to cook? I shouldn't be surprised given that she's done much crazier things to potions than to pots of noodles, but here we are. I'm so glad that things turned around and that she came out here. I bet she's really happy to be here, too. Tho many she could do for it to be less cold." The little raksha in her head is definitely having fun at pretending to be Frosty.
Hoarfrost	The definitely Amethyst and not a copy gives a nod as she stirs the pot, adding just a bit a syrup to sweeten the oats. "It is just oatmeal. Not anything as fancy as we where eating in Forks silly" Giving the spoon a soft 'tap tap tap' after each scoop as she begins dishing out the bowls of breakfast. Covering them in a small handful of berries "Ah-ya ya the cold is super not m-my cup of tea. As much as I have loved the peaceful time here training It will be nice to be someplace warm again." As she drops off a bowl at the table and gestures for Rishi to sit, "Come stay and eat there is plenty sister!" and then gives the other to her other self. Adding a little hug as she does so.
Rishi	Rishi smiles at the both of them. "You are very cute together, my sisters. But, next time you wish to fool me, you should exchange clothing first." Rishi takes a bite of the food, slowly savoring as she eats it. "Thank you very muchly for this delightful meal. You are nice cook Frosty." Once finished, she leans back and says "Ammy, do you still wish to have some ...Wyld stuff for your experiments?"
Amethyst	Ammy looks at her clothing, frustrated ears go out. "Uh hum. Yeah. I guess I didn't think about that." She pinches her nose and shakes her head. and then, curious ears middle out. "Wyld stuff. I'd love to have some gossamer for my efforts. It'll make transforming things much easier with the solidified potential of the wyld. But acquiring some might be difficult, unless you bargin with some Raksha or go on an adventure a fair ways into the wyld, further than I could go." She shudders a little, remembering the last time she was in that place.
Hoarfrost	"In all fairness it really was not my intent to fool." Amie-Frost shoots the real Amethyst a grin. Finally taking a moment to get herself a bowl and take a seat on the sad looking couch. That that she seems to mind at all. "I did not even do it intentionally. I just ... woke up like this." Blushing a little bit and chowing down on her food, not even bothering with a spoon, simply tipping the bowl back. "Not sure why I haven't changed back ... its kind of comfortable?" her ears are a little red and perked just a little bit. She doesn't have much to say on the wyld, just looking a little uncomfortable after what almost happened last time.
Rishi	Rishi nods, considering. "Well, I was ...thinking about going back to that Wyld place. To find ...other things. And so, I wished to ask you to tell me what it was you wished from there. So, that I could gather it. If I happened to be seeing it. While I looked for the other things I was to be going there for." Rishi's blush as she tries to Tsun is clear even through her light layer of fur.
Amethyst	"Other things. What are you looking for, in particular? If only my own tattoos protected me as they do, then I could guide you. As for me? Gossamer. It's like little prismatic coins or spheres similar to my tattoos. In fact, that's what they're made from." The wyld-blooded girl's tattoos animate faster as she focuses on them. "Typically you have to trade with the Raksha to find it. But occasionally, the wyld grows little pockets of it where Raksha had clashed or fallen. In both cases, you'll wanna be in Middlemarch territory. A wandering Raksha might be hard to find, but a settlement likely would not be. And a pocket would be quite hard to find indeed."
Hoarfrost	"We should travel together. I'm not experienced with Raksha but my magic make it difficult for fey or any kind of spirit attack me or mine without cause." Not really sure she wants to let any of her friends to the devices of the fey without help. A deep need to protect welling up from within her essence. "Rishi ..." she shifts in her seat as she pops a raspberry into her mouth. "Do you ... why do you really want to go into the wyld?" not that she wants to admit Rishi would lie but her need to protect her friends from the wyld overriding her usually politeness.
Rishi	Rishi considers, tilting hear head to the side, then nods. "It would be best if you were there, so that, should we find a Raksha, we shall have time to bargain. Yes, that would be good." At Frosty's last comment, Rishi actually looks visbly nervous for a moment, before she looks down and mubles something. After a moment she sighs and says "...Ammy sounded like she really needed the Gossamer for the project that she has been doing. But...I thought it would be ...safer for me to go." she's still looking down here, but her head suddenly snaps up, still slightly blushing as she says, "And she needs to rebuild her shop, does she not? So, she has the things to do. And, I am sure that you also have the things to do Frosty. So, I shall do this thing for you on my own."
Amethyst	"If /all/ we need is Gossamer, I'd suggest well, I do know a place we can go." Amethyst dims her tattoos for a moment. And a few specific runes on her set light up. "<Elderloch>" "<Passage>" and "<Former Lesser Fae>" And Amethyst's expression grows just a little sadder feeling the runes. "<Oh. It used to read, 'Lesser Fae Friend'. Meaning that I couldn't truly disrupt them like more typical Creation-Born do. It shouldn't surprise me that it can change, or that taking my second breath has changed me there, too.>" "It's been over a season and a half. And getting my mothers input on, I dunno, the /everything/ in my life might not be the worst thing ever. This project of mine? You can count on it being there for a good long time. I'm not even at the point where Gossamer will help me. I need to find a way to do some silly things with some basic materials. If I use the more complicated reagents, I risk limiting myself in the future and also contaminating it in ways I can't predict. The rudimentry stuff I use for alchemy, aspects of the five elements, and samples of the various metals, as well as some neutral things, are what I will always have, and I understand all of their functions well enough that I know it won't result in any unpredictable side effects." "If I'm careless about it, I'll end up with a fate that even you two would have trouble fixing. And my efforts will be for not. And so time is what I must measure out and use what I can to my advantage. And my mother is a greater Alchemist than me, maybe she can give me some pointers on how on earth to accomplish the impossible." "I've done it before. Within each of these silver canisters." She produces one of those things she uses for casting. "Is a combination of each of the elements, imbued with a distillation of my own blood, to give it a property not unlike Gossamer. Tho if exposed to the air, it turns to dust. Not very useful for anything but casting. But it is an impossibility, none the less. I've done the impossible before, I shall do it again." Someone gets really, really passionate when she's talking about her alchemy.
Hoarfrost	Hoarfrost sets the empty breakfast bowl to the side and crosses her arms with a stern look to her face. Which is slightly undercut as she sees her own arms and is again surprised she is Amy. Something that is going to take a while to get used to. With a huff and a soft silver light she grows back into her cloths turning back to her usual self. "Rishi." Using a tone she usually saves for her students, loving but still unusually firm. "I am getting the impression you are trying something dangerous hopping to get hurt. What I do not understand is why." Face turning towards concern as she leans forward. "I am never too busy to help family. So don't think if you have your mind set on this you are going alone." A hand is placed on Rishi's leg as if to offer support. "It sounds like Amethyst would like to visit her birthplace as well. I do believe you are stuck with us." Her other hand is placed on Amthyst's leg connecting them all together, physically and perhaps metaphorically. "Amethyst please be careful with your magics. This transformation project you are working on sound more and more dangerous every time I hear about it." Why is all of her people trying to get hurt!
Rishi	Rishi starts to ask Ammy to explain her work to them, as all three are sorcerers, so they might be able to help, but when Frosty touches her leg she freezes for a moment, stricken. She looks down again, "...I...I.....I don't want to come between you. I.... You have both made me feel so ...accepted and warm and ...and...loved that I-I..." And she suddenly leans over and gives Frosty a kiss. Then turns and lunges across the table and kisses Ammy. Then she backs off, going "I...I'm sorry, that was wrong..." And she darts out the door.
Amethyst	Amethyst nods towards Frosty, but then Frosty is kissed, and so is Ammy. And then there's no time to process what just happened when her friend bolts out the door. Now, Amethyst is wearing nothing to protect her from the cold. She barely has her alchemy gear with her. And no shoes. But by now Amethyst knows her own temperment, and knows that if she doesn't do something /now/ there might be consequences later on that she, she doesn't wanna think what Rishi might do. And so, into the snow she goes, as fast as her webbed feet will take her. "Wait, Rishi!" And she knows she's not fast enough to catch her. That's why she just /bites/ her finger hard enough to draw blood as sorcerous essence swirls around her, and her anima flares to life, becoming an icy mist, "Stop!" And her eyes and ears say it all, "~I won't lose you~"
Hoarfrost	And then she is kissed. Pale face turning bright red she does. Amethyst is kissed to, before she hardly started processing the first kiss. Finding her hand touching the spot where the kiss was placed. Her mind as fast as it is able to snap back in time to realize Rishi is running out the door. "Petra! Fetch!" pointing to Rishi and she runs forward to try and stop Rishi herself. The massive dog moves forward in an instant. The building groans in protest as the massive winter wolf turns a paw as big as Rishi's midsection comes down to pin her in place. Half a moment later Hoarfrost lands atop the paw to dogpile. "Rishi please! We love you too, we don't want to see you hurt."
Amethyst	There is no contesting the strength of the Dragon as her anima glows even brighter, shifting from a cold mist to a warm steam, giving her at least some insulation from the cold. But that's aside from the point. With the flash of silver and rainbow, her blood is drawn out of her and into a wide whip. And in the same motion she jumps. Her whip wraps around Rishi just before Petra lands, and just after both her and Frost cling to Rishi. "Please, you're our family." With Amethyst's aura of steam showing her warmth.
Rishi	Rishi is just lying there on the porch, in the snow, sobbing. No longer trying to move or really do anything but cry, releasing her pent up emotions. It takes a little while for her to subside, but she does manage to choke out "...I...don't want to ....just....be your sister.. I-I ...love you, ...both."
Hoarfrost	Hoarfrost poised and ready to hold on for the full might of Lunar rage hangs onto the paw a moment before she realizes the fight has gone out of her friend. "Oh Risih ..." Sliding down onto the ground with a crunch of snow she nods to her companion. "Thank you Petrichor." The weight of the paw comes off and the massive wolf yawn and lays down again. This time making a fuzzy barrier around the group. Her hand going through Rishi's hair as she makes a soft calmin noise. Letting her know it will be okie, "Shhh shhh shhh, we are not going anywhere, and neither are you." Voice soft loving and warm. Eyes glancing up at Amethyst not entirely sure what to do. "I'm sorry Rishi I didn't know you felt ... Rishi we love you too."
Amethyst	Amethyst's blood relaxes, pulling away from them all and hanging around her in a circle like it does. She gets down, and sighs. "I'm not sure if I feel love for you the way I do Hoarfrost, but that doesn't mean I don't care about you." She brings her warm hand to Rishi's cheek. "There's no need to be upset or to leave. That would only make us all unhappy." She gives her big friend a little hug. "Alright?"
Rishi	She suddenly sits back up and hugs you both for a second...then pulls back, embarassed and ashamed. She still has tears in her eyes as she says "I-I...know. I know you care for me...but..but not like you are doing for each other. Not...as I feel for you both. I...I'm sorry. I didn't wish to make this...strange. But...I could not hide this any longer." "I...was considering..." she looks away from you both. "...It is said that the Fae...it is told that they are eating the emotions. I was thinking that...well, if I have too many of the emotions and you needed the Gossamer... This would be a good trade, yes?"
Hoarfrost	Heart breaking a little as Rishi admits to what she was planning to do. Hoarfrost scoots a little closer a sad look on her face. Reaching a hand out to guid the other Lunar back into the kind fo cuddle pile inevitably forming within the furry confines of the curled up Winter Wolf. "Rishi your heart Is full of love removing it like that ... removing love from your heart ..." tears forming in her own eyes now, hardly able to think of a worse punishment. "There are room in hearts for more than one love. Filling yourself with that is what makes the world good, kind and warm place." Glancing to Amethyst and back to Rishi. "I should not have spoken for you Amethyst I am sorry. I know ... well you are in a rough place yourself." Turning to Rishi and trying to lean in a little. Slowly and carefully trying not to make her uncomfortable. "I ... I would be lying if I said I didn't feel something for you Rishi. It is young and new, but I can't say I don't." glancing at Amethyst curious how she reacts to that. "Can we not all ... " she gives a shrug.
Amethyst	Amethyst was concerned a moment ago, but when Rishi shares her idea, the young Dragon's ears just sorta flatten in caution. "To do something so foolish, as to let the Raksha feed on you. Although I do not know if you Chosen nature lets you resist it, but I do know that it is rather trivial for them to peel one thing away, and then convince you to give up the next and the next until you've been eaten from the inside out. Left a hollow husk, you become one of the dream eaten. And that is unacceptable. It's one of the first lessons my mother taught me about dealing with the fae." But then her expression eases up, and she looks towards Rishi and Frosty. And she shrugs as she spreads her steaming aura over them both. "Lunars are weird." She giggles. "I don't see this as a problem."
Rishi	Rishi is still hesitant. "I...This thing between you is still new. And...it is complicated. I do not wish to make it even more so." She sighs "...I know not what to do. I...you are not the first people to have welcomed me, but ....I have not known such belonging as I have with you ever before. Being able to bring such joy to Frosty as when I helped her become herself... I thought that helping your project might bring you this joy Ammy. Such joy is worth a sacrifice."
Hoarfrost	"Well to be honest Rishi, me and Amethyst kind of came to an agreement last night. We where going to take it real slow till she has more room in her life for a ... well a partner." Hoarfrost scratches her head a little. Still surprised she doesn't feel hurt by it. Instead she leans a little into Amethyst knowing she is comfortable where they are at the moment. "We will have to figure out where you fit in all this too, that is the fun part of growing closer to people is it not?" Though at Rishi's comment she gives a little head shake "No Rishi, you need not sacrifice for your gift to me ... you should never have to mangle your heart as a gift."
Amethyst	"<We're going to Elderloch. There will be no sacrifices to the wyld.>" The little dragon raises her voice a little. And then again she softens. "It'll be fine as we try to figure this all out. I've never loved before. Never really had space for it. And I don't have a lot of heart to give. That's why I've given what I have to Frosty here." And she nuzzles against Frosty. "There's just so much work I must do before I can rest. This is also why I don't feel as tho we aught to go there now. Or tomorrow. We can wait until at least I have this particular alchemical problem solved. Hopefully by then nmy absence for a little while won't mean much."
Rishi	Rishi sits there looking at you both for a moment....before pulling you both into a big hug with all four of her arms. "Then ...I shall try not to be pushing you both. But..." and she looks at Ammy "I, too, know some of the Alchemy, and we all know the Sorcery. Can we not help you with this that you are working upon? I can provide you many substances."
Hoarfrost	Hoarfrost giggles as she is pulled into a hug. Returning it to the others with a warm embraces. Nuzzling softly agains the others. Basking in the joy of each's own special kind of love. "We will find the right balance I am sure of it!" she chirps happily. Giving a nod very much willing to help herself.
Amethyst	"I'll have to see. If you know a way to preserve the hide of a freshly skinned animal so that its blood remains and it does not dry out, it would be of great use." Amethyst says. "But sorcery-wise, I dunno if either of you could contribute to the working, but I can show my notes and maybe you can try to make sense of it. This is something more than I'm usually capable of. Then again, so was initiating myself into sorcery." She hugs either way. By now her steam has calmed, and she starts to shiver. "M-maybe we should go inside."
Rishi	Rishi snuggles against the shivering Ammy for a moment, but stands and pushes you both inside. "I discovered Sorcery from the plants and the trees and the animals. They spoke to me and I listened. ...And from the books about the plants and the trees and the animals. Ysyr had many of the libraries. Including the books that no-one could be reading." she sighs and shakes her head. "I should be most pleased to see what I think about your plans for this thing you wish to try.
