Rishi	Amethyst and Black Pearl were having yet another rather gruling training session, teaching Ammy everything she needs to know about the Realm. Until Rishi showed up, grinning, grabbed both women and flew off into the sky! "You have both been working most hard and with the very, very long hours. Today, we are having the vacation!"
Black Pearl	The true mark of social aplomb is to have one's plans come crashing down, and still be unphased. So she does not protest, but simply holds close to Rishi with one arm and Ametis with the other as her silk clothes flap around her.
Amethyst	Amethyst herself is very surprised by Rishi's sudden arrival. And maybe just a little thankful for the interruption. She knows these sessions are important but she hasn't been this tired since her father first showed her how to fight. She clings to her love and giggles, "A vacation? You feel alright taking us to where I think you're taking us?" There's some surprise to her words, and it's clear Ammie thinks she knows where Rishi is planning to take the two of them.
Rishi	"I was not able to be finding Frosty to be asking and, while I am trusting you Pearly, it is not being the good idea to be taking other people into the other Lunar's territory without doing the asking. So, I simply found us another of the places to be setting up!" First the fields that support the city fly by, then the beautiful tops of the trackless forest skim underneath...until you see a castle poking up out of the trees ahead. As Rishi takes a slow loop around the clearing, you can both see an enormous castle sitting on the edge of a lovely lake. The castle is light and airy, the lake clear and shining... it looks perfectly relaxing
Black Pearl	Pearl simply nods. "Of course you do not bring guests in to somene else's domain without invitation." And she smiles in amazement. "The castle looks amazing...is it a conjuration? A manse?"
Amethyst	Ammie smiles at the castle, "Is that the spell I think it is? It's so impressive. Then again I dunno if I've ever seen your other mansion from the sky before. Maybe I should be getting wings." She contemplates, "Also that's fair, I hope Frosty's doing alright." And she boops Pearly, "It's amazing isn't it? The wonders of Sapphire Circle Sorcery. I still dream of one day reaching to that height myself."
Rishi	Rishi smiles at Ammy as she comes in for a smooth landing next to the lake. "Any time you are wishing to be having them, I can be giving you the wings." Rishi sets both of her friends on the ground. "So, are you wishing to be touring the castle and having the lunch or would you rather be starting with the swim in the lake?"
Black Pearl	"I have never sought initiation even into Emerald," Pearl says. "And who is this Frosty?" Pearl smiles, "I think once we get to the lake we will simply bask in it forever. So if you wish to show the castle off, better to do that first?" She steps down once landed and smooths out her skirts.
Amethyst	"Her name is Hoarfrost, she's my other lover. I've learned first hand the dangers of going into another Lunar's territory uninvited, nearly froze to death." Amethyst explains, "And yes, let's have lunch and then go frolicking in the waters~" The younger dragon smiles widely.
Rishi	Rishi smiles fondly. "Our other lover." She looks dreamy for a moment, then shakes her head and leads the way to the castle. The castle is made from ..that can't actually be ivory, but it's not wood or stone or... Whatever it's made from, delicate pillars of it rise from the ground, supporting a complex roof, that gives it the appearance of a very strange flower. The door opens onto a vast hall that appears to take up most of the main floor. Arranged artfully about the place are groups of lounging couches, low tables with bowls of fruit and nuts and spring water set between them. Other areas have tables designed for particular games and a few cleared spaces for dancing or other athletics are apparent. A spiral staircase curls its way up from the middle of the room.
Black Pearl	"You are both blessed with friends that close," Black Pearl says with a wry smile as she follows inside. Eyes get a bit wide. Rare fruits, some she has not seen before, and the delight of the water...she looks about with appropriate appreciation. For it would never do to say she gawks wide-eyed.
Amethyst	"All three of us are misfits, so maybe that's what brought us so close together. Rishi and Frosty are the reason that I tried to become a silver dragon and are what pushed me to do my first Sapphire Circle working, and pushed me to learn more about anathema. If not for them, I may not have grown quite the same way." The younger dragons explains to the older. "And Pearly, you don't need to be all socially proper around us all the time." She grins as she grabs some fruit and takes a nice bite out of it. Ammie seems familiar with these sights, though perhaps not this one particular fruit given the face she's making. "We're taking rest of the day off."
Rishi	Rishi lightly boops Pearly on the nose with one of her clawed fingers. "You are being our friend now. Closeness is coming with the spending of time together. So, are you ready to be the closer friends after this?" Rishi pulls her into a brief hug before going over and grabbing her own bowl of fruit. "Please be having as much as you are liking. The magic is keeping the bowls ever full and the furniture is being most comfy. And, while this place is not having the library..." she grins impishly and pulls out a satchel from behind a table. "I am grabbing a bunch of the cheap romances from the market before I am leaving to set this up. There are also being the games and, on the second floor, are being plenty of the private rooms for the sleeping or the bathing. I am also being told I am the good masseuse if you are needing the massage."
Black Pearl	Pearl smiles, "I will try. Just that it is...habit to be formal. I have only let all my masks down once," she says and smiles, and reaches to get one of the deep green fruits, sweet, with a reputation of loosening inhibitions and bites into it. Pearl gives a smile. "Yes, I would like to be closer. And...Amethyst? Can I trust her with the secret you carry in your heart?"
Amethyst	Amethyst goes over and gives Pearly a little hug, "I think you can trust her with that secret." She gives a little grin and finds a seat, "I trust her as much as I trust you, though I'm going to warn you that she has a terrible poker face." Ammie grins at Rishi.
Rishi	Rishi headtilts, looking from one dragon to another, a questioning expression on her face.
Black Pearl	"Then I will trust you," Pearl says, "Though I ask that you not mention this to others." She eats the rest of the green fruit and then takes strawberries. "I am semi-publicly known as Cynis Salara." She pauses a long moment before saying, "I am truly Iselsi Rendili Salara, the local head of the All-Seeing Eye." The Realm's spymistress?
Amethyst	"House Iselsi doesn't exist anymore." Amethyst explains, "Struck from the imperial ledgers some time ago, as I understand it, they kinda hate the Realm and are waiting for the right moment to slay their cousins and take control." "And becoming her oath-sister as I have done has joined me to it. Just as she's joined to the antics of the anathema I know. And with what I have done, the Immaculate Order would surely consider me anathema myself."
Rishi	Rishi headtilts, considering as she slides onto a large odd looking couch, though, once she's in place, it's obvious that the couch was designed for someone with wings and a tail to lie on, without issue. "So, is that why you are being here seeking the power of the Anathema? You and your family are working to be destroying the Realm?" She hrms to herself, swirling a strawberry in wine, before sucking the wine off and taking a sharp bite. "I am thinking that, in the ideal world, this would be the good thing for you. You are hating the Realm and wishing to be destroying it, your family is hating the Realm and wishing to be destroying it, and the Lunars are hating the Realm and wishing to be destroying it. it is seeming like everyone is wanting the same thing, yes?" Rishi sighs. "But, from what Frosty is telling me and from what I was seeing in my homeland, no one is quite wanting the same thing, no one is trusting the others, so no one is getting what they are wanting." Rishi sighs again, then pulls Pearly onto the couch next to her. "Do not worry! I will be keeping your secret and today is the day to be relaxing! We can be figuring out your problems the later." And Rishi holds out another strawberry for Pearly to eat.
Black Pearl	Salara's eyes glitter. "We still exist, merely hidden. Scattered among the other Houses, still controlling the Eye...we were betrayed by the Empress and will make them pay...were I to have help in restoring our House...taking the throne..." Ambitions laid bare. "I would be...grateful. I would rather rule than destroy, but destroy than others rule." She pauses, "But today is for rest and pleasures, not vengeance." And so she leans and eats the strawberry out of Rishi's hand.
Amethyst	Amethyst nods at Salara. "I can't imagine too many Lunars or Solars would be happy with helping a disowned Dragon-Blooded house reclaim power. Nor do I know what will happen should the Lunars or Solars or both claim power themselves. Whatever happens, it'll be in the future, now is the time for relaxing." "But knowing the Realm will inevitably come apart anyway, I don't know why my heart wants me to reconnect with my cousins and my long lost brother."
Rishi	Rishi swirls her bowl of wine, before taking a very, very long swig. It would seem that the bowls are bottomless. "Your heart is probably thinking about the might have beens. The wishing that you had the knowing of them, that you had the life you imagined, the life you should have had. It is being most common to be thinking about. What is being different for you is that you can be trying to be reclaiming it." Rishi looks over at the south wall, her eyes hooded. Then she takes another very long drink of wine.
Black Pearl	"Even if we were viceroys to run in the name of the Solars or another?" Salara shrugs and nods to Amethyst. "Family is important. You are the first ones I have chosen to be part of mine." She takes a drink of her own wine--a mix of sweet with just a bit of tart--and looks at Rishi. "You lost something, didn't you? Something forever?" She goes to sit on Rishi's right on the couch and leans against the lunar, gesturing Amethyst to join on the other side.
Amethyst	Amethyst goes and joins Rishi on the sofa, snuggling up next to her. "...Yeah, I think about those a lot. Always have. Might be why I learned as much about the Realm as I could. Why I dedicated myself so much to the Immaculate Dragons. I had to prove that I was better, that I was worthy of the blood that flows through me. I fear the day I no longer need to have such ambitions, as I think they're the only thing that's kept me going." She gently brushes a hand against Rishi's face, "Just as you go about on your mission as a high priestess of Luna, giving people the bodies they've always wanted and helping them with their afflictions of the body and maybe soul. I know you left a lot behind in Ysyr. Maybe one day we can do something about them too."
Rishi	Rishi puts an arm around each of the other ladies, pulling them both close, while holding her bowl of wine with her third and fourth hands. After another long swig, she puts it down, and quietly says "I am not being regretting it. Even as I traveled the woods and learned to be ignoring the rain, learned what cold was and how to be ignoring that too, I never regretted it. This is being who I am and... it is making me happy to be living like this." "But... I am being sad that my homeland is not being accepting. That the few people there I am most trusting are only accepting me, if my outside is fitting in. It is ...most painful to be finding out that those you are trusting are being unworthy." She sighs and shakes her head. "No, my homeland is having nothing for me anymore. The things I cared for most I was bringing with me." and she finally smiles, patting her toned and supple stomach.
Black Pearl	Salara simply snuggles closer on the other side and holds one of Rishi's hands. "We can only go forward," she says before letting out a contented sigh. No longer alone, at least for the moment. "Is there anything I can do for either of you?" she asks, enjoying the physical and emotional closeness both.
Amethyst	"Maybe one day we can make a place for misfits like us." Ammie suggests. "None of us asked to be born under the conditions that we were, into places we didn't want to be. And in me and Rishi's case, into forms we didn't want, although I have been considering whether or not I want to stay female like I'd wanted some 4 or 5 years ago now, and especially if I ever want children of my own. I don't intend on letting my household die with me and my brother, even if I end up only carrying it on symbolically somewhere far from the Realm."
Rishi	Rishi leans over and kisses Pearly's nose. "Please just be staying right there. It is meaning a lot to me that you are accepting me like this." "No one is ever asking to be born as they are. That's one of the things I am hoping to be fixing once we are coming back from the Wyld." Rishi looks appreciatively over Ammy's body. "If you are ever wanting the help making the children, I would be most honored to be assisting you." she says in a dangerously sexy voice. Then she giggles and says in a normal tone, "I would be most happy to be summoning the Neomah for you, so you do not need to be changing yourself or having the sex if you are not wishing it."
Black Pearl	Salara cannot blush, not with the markings of her caste, but she says softly, "I know that I want children, if you wish to have them...we could do that together?" For once she sounds shy and hesitant as she addresses Amethyst. She lets go of Rishi's hand and reaches across for Amethyst's her face pressed into and half-hidden by Rishi's neck.
Amethyst	Fortunately the dragons have saw it fit to allow Ammie to continue to blush after her second breath, and her face is slowly turning a lovely violet-red. "Uh," She hadn't even mentioned that there was any romatic feelings between herself and Salara, "I think Rishi would have my head if I didn't do it with her at least once if I even considered someone else." "But yes, I think me and my oathsister might be in love." Ammie tells Rishi, her face growing more cherry by the moment. "I just didn't really know how to tell you and Frosty."
Rishi	"I know what it is to be alone, to be very profoundly lonely. I do not think I have ever been quite as alone as this one here though." Rishi pulls Salara in close and wraps a wing around her. "I think I may be in the love with her too." Rishi turns to Ammy and kisses her on the nose. "As for the sex, do not be so much of the worried. When you can be changing all of your everything, having the sex is ...there is not being so much of the pressure. It is being the fun pastime and the way of growing closer. But it is not being the requirement for the love." and Ammy gets a wing wrapped around her and pulled in close. "I am loving you. And I am not minding your love of the others."
Black Pearl	Salara nods a bit at Amethyst's words. "I just...if she already had a beloved, I didn't want to intrude. But...if you feel the same way..." She starts to smile and shifts a bit tugging Amethyst closer. "We can...figure things out as we go?" If close enough, she kisses one then the other, a bit of a giddy look on her face.
Amethyst	Amethyst exchanges kisses of her own with both Rishi and then Salara, "I love a pair of lunars, and if there's one thing I've learned, is that beyond the realm a lot of things are different. I think there's even a city somewhere in the southeast known for superhuman mortals that were born of 7 fathers or something like that." "Yeah, we'll figure it out together."
Rishi	Rishi remains quiet, simply holding her two loves near her, wings around them to shield them from the world, hands stroking their backs, simply basking in the atmosphere.
