Amethyst	The quiet stillness of the demense that Hoarfrost lives in is always fascinating to Amethyst, especially having been raised and living in dense cities all of her life. It's peaceful and calm, or at least, it's /usually/ peacefu land calm. Right now it sounds like a whirlwind is approaching. The trees are shaking, birds scatter, before suddenly it all at once stops, and there's a distinct thrump in the snow where Amethyst has landed, making a mini snow crater.
Hoarfrost	Snow is still scattering about tossed by the sudden whirlwind. Bits of ice tumble through the branches having been shook free from the once frozen pines. Slowly though peace seems to automatically restore itself. ?I thought I was about to have to duel a rogue sorcerer.? Hoarfrost's voice calls out not too far away. In her tauric beast form she approaches from the direction of the forest's heart. ?Its good to see you Amethyst!? voice
Amethyst	The young dragon is still for a moment, and then snow goes everywhere as she scatters it, her ritual in hand, and glowing a boiling blue-green. Her dagger seems to have markings on it that it did not have before, though one wonders if Frosty ever got a good look at it, usually she grabs it, cuts herself, and sheaths it almost too fast for the eye to see. "Good to hear from you too Frosty! You should come visit more often" But she sounds... different, somehow. Hard to place exactly how.
Hoarfrost	Hooves almost silent against the show the winter witch happily trots along side her dragon. Smile on her face she looks a tad embarrassed. "I do loose a lot of time out here. Days feel like seconds some times." leaning in she tries to steal a bit of a hug. Head tilting her considers Amethyst for a moment. "Something feels different..." not exactly able to pin it down.
Amethyst	"To someone who can live for thousands of years I could see how time gets lost." Amethyst nods. The dragon definitely hugs, giving a tight squeeze. And it's maybe at this point that it clicks into place. The young dragon is not too different, but either Amethyst no longer has breasts or the alchemist is now male. Perhaps still slender and honed, with a soft face and eyes like a crashing wave, but no longer female.
Hoarfrost	Hoarfrost gives a quizzical tilt of the head feeling the difference in the hug more she sees it. "Are you using new pronouns?" unsure if the changes are simply stylistic or indicative of a wider change. Seemingly not bothered in the least by the changes.Wide ruby eyes shining in the strange light of the forest a smile still on her lips. "Would you like a ride back to my hut or would you prefer to walk. I feel like we should celebrate a change?"
Amethyst	"Pronouns..." Amethyst considers. "I, hadn't even really given that much thought with all of the other stuff going on. A lot's changed since I talked to you last. Honestly this is just sort of a trial run. Been so long since I've been male. Been going back and forth lately, and I'm deliberately keeping both pretty similar, especially since if I changed too drastically none of my tailored clothing would fit right anymore. How do you lunars deal with clothing when you change?" The dragon is walking with Frosty back towards the hut.
Hoarfrost	The witch gives Amethyst an almost deadpan look. Nude as she is at the moment, and as she often is when in any mix of animal form. "Well usually I just wear the old bit of scraps of robes before Rishi's demon began making me a wardrobe. Perhaps you simply need demons to keep a ever changing wardrobe for you, assuming you want to bother with clothes in the frist place?" chuckling a bit and half prancing about the dragon as they walk together. Clearly exited to have the other around. "You can figure the pronouns out as you go I guess. Just let me know if there are any that don't fit right when I say them?"
Amethyst	"Or I could just have new clothes tailored I suppose." Ammie muses, "Among the things I have to tell you, I'm pretty well off now, about the same as a Dynast's salary, which, I might note, is a truly mind-numbing amount of money. I make what it cost my shop to be built over the course of a season or two. I don't /need/ a demon to tailor my clothes when uh, let's just say you're not spoiled for choice in a city nicknamed Decedance." "As for pronouns? I guess you can just use male ones for the moment, since I am male at the moment." He shrugs.
Hoarfrost	"That is ..." Hoarfrost seems to have a harder time processing the news about the money than anything else. A bit of contemplation on her face. "Good?" Has Hoarfrost ever used money, does she even have any? "Male it is." Giving a nod as they enter the witch's clearing. Things here are different. Piles of materials are stacked in neat piles here and there. Stone, wood, different stones, and even large pieces of ice. Air Elementals working with wood elementals lift and move materials taking them deeper yet into the forest. "Please pardon the mess I am working on a bit of a project."
Amethyst	"And a network of trade that doesn't go through the Guild or through the Dynasty. I can't get stuff outside of the east and what my own adventures might bring me, but it's enough to make everything I've needed, including thousands of variants of maiden's tea." Amethyst says quite proud of himself, but then he notices Frosty's looking quite confused. "It means that I'm rich." She says in simpler terms. And with that she goes into a pocket, pulls out what looks like an /ingot/ of jade, and just hands it to Frosty. "And now you are too..." And she glances around, "If you want to be. 'pose there's not much to do with money out in the forest." And then Ammie glances around at the stuff the elementals are doing, "...What are you up to?"
Hoarfrost	Hoarfrost takes the presented ingot a bit surprised. "Money has not always done good things to those I've known." running a hand over the embossing on the jade. "Though I can't argue with doing anything that circumvents the Guild and their ilk." Turning to an elemental she hands the ingot over "Please put this with the other magical materials" giving the creature a little bow as it bows to her. "I am trying my hand at harnessing the magical energy of the demanse. I'm hoping to get a Hearthstone that can aim in my sorcery endevers. "
Amethyst	"For me it just means that I can do more than I could before." The alchemist grins, but then looks... shocked? as the bar is hauled over to the 'rest of the magic materials.' Very curious Amethyst follows the elemental, and asks Frosty, "Wait, you aren't building a manse, are you? And where'd you get other magic materials? Or the expertise for this? Sheesh I thought I had things to tell /you/."
Hoarfrost	Hoarfrost laughs and shakes her head. "I would be lying if I said I was doing this alone." Following after Amethyst as he goes deeper into the forest "But I haven't been idle for the last year ... two years?" furrowing her brow a bit trying to piece together how much time has passed since they first met? Time it seems has never been her strong suit. "The pact has been helping me. I admit I'm not the most expert in the field of architecture, or in material wealth, but we help each other out sharing our skills in kind. I hope by the end of it I'm more capable to continue work on these things more independently, or to be able to lend what I learned to help the others. At the very least my focus on sorcery has been a huge boon." Stepping now into the clearing that once housed the hot springs. The nexus of shifting cold and warmth always causing a strong breeze, the natural center point for such an endever. A half built structure of stone and ice. Bizarrly looking like it had always lived there. The bones of the structure are like roots gently pushing up out of the earth. Thirty or so elemental work away slowly but surely on what ever task they where set to. A few others Amethyst would not reconize look up from tables at the dragon curiously.
Amethyst	"It's been about a year. My birthday's gonna be soon, and I'll officially be twenty." Amethyst says, "I still never expected you to uproot some of your forest to turn your demense into a manse. I never realized just how much the silver pact could offer." "Admittedly that's a tiny amount of jade for what you'd need to build a manse. And that took me... yeah about a season to make that much." "Anyway, there's a reason that I'm contemplating my gender again." She starts, "Not just because of thoughts of going to meet cousins in the Realm, which may be a good idea anyway since they would know me better as a male. But moreover, I've... earned the love a Dragon-blooded Dynast who hates the realm about as much as most Lunars."
Hoarfrost	Looking over her project with a bit of pride she waves to the others to let them know not bother. The others simply shrug and return to what they are doing. "Your always amazed at what we can do, as a community though... we can do anything." there is an electric excitement to her. Eyes reluctantly pull away from the progress of her work and she shakes her head. "In fairness it took a sight more than a few seasons to get this far, but every bit of help the project gets the smoother it becomes. The Jade will help immensely since this is soon to be an air aspected Manse." Not that that should come to much of a surprise. It is an element associated with magic for the dragons and Hoarfrost has a theme at this point. The witch smiles. "I am glad you have found love with a Dynast. That side of your life craves connection there and it will do your heart some good." taking Amethyst's hand and giving it a bit of a squeeze. "You will have to tell me more about them."
Amethyst	"Would you rather have blue jade? The jade I gave you was black, I could pretty readily have it switched out. Wouldn't be the weirdest thing I've asked them to do." Ammie giggles. Male or not, the faerie dragon's general attitude hasn't changed too much. And she squeezes Frosty, "It's good to have training from one of my own kind and to share love. We're also oathmates now too, she's that ways somewhere." Anbd Amethyst points, "Fair distance away. And, with your blessing, I'd love to bring her here and have you two meet properly."
Hoarfrost	"It could be used to trade within the pack or occasionally we need small bits of all the material for different purposes. Manse's are impressively difficult to make." perhaps a bit overwhelmed by all of it. Shaking her head she takes a seat on the ground next to a small pile of wood which would make a fine seat for anyone not four legged. "If you are Oathmates hurting me is as bad as hurting you, as we too are bonded." taking a deep breath she takes a moment to feel that connection between them. "I would love to meet them silly!"
Amethyst	Amethyst nods, "Well, hopefully it shall serve you will then." He goes over and just sorta climbs onto Frosty's back and leans against her, "I dunno if the bond carries over that far, but it might." And, perhaps sadly for Frosty, there doesn't /feel/ like there's anyone new that's part of the link. But she can still feel Ammie just fine. "For now though, let's just relax together, it's been so long and I've been so busy. We should do something to celebrate my birthday soon."
