Amethyst The battle and war are won, and Amethyst is outside resting on one of the various building, looking out over the city streets as mutants and fae and folks come and go. Away from Rishi, from the portal, from her mother, she finally has a chance to breath after everything. Gently moving her hands through the water, making little waves and leaving little traces of rainbow-hued essence as the water drifts through her fingers, the wyld yielding to her. She's clearly just having a bit of fun with her sorcerous powers as she relaxes.
Fudou the Mountain "Well that was a bit of excitment, luv, now wasn't it..?"

The Mountain's voice is distinct and unmistakable, rumbling throught the enchanted waters as he descends from a higher height, lazily drifting down to land with a heavy thud just opposite Amethyst. His tattered garments stream lazily behind him as his massive legs cross and he drifts into a cross legged position just opposite the dragonblooded girl.

"Quite the journey on behalf of you wanting to return home, hmm? I would say you have accomplished alot.."

Amethyst "Almost as much as I accomplished in the first year I was away from my parents." The dragon grins and giggles. "Though really, I gotta find a way to repay you all for helping me and my people here. I couldn't have done half of this without you."

"I didn't think my return home would end with a massive battle. Just a shame that my mom all but insisted I stay with her and help keep an eye on the city proper." She rolls her eyes. "I just think she didn't want me getting hurt."

Fudou the Mountain "Or killed - especially with a possessive lunar like Rishi hanging onto your arms." offers Fudou, grinning still, eyes hidden behind his silver glasses but the weight of them can still be felt as they look Amethyst up and down.

"Good parents have your intersts at heart, no? Don't begrudge her. The fight was won, no? It's the duty of friends to help each other. You will find ways to repay all involved through your continued association. You need not be concerned. Plus... I am sure they all had personal reasons of their own and things to gain.."

Amethyst Amethyst nods, and chuckles nervously. "Oh Ms. Rishi Fleshweaver. She's more trouble than I ever realized." She rubs her head, "But she's my love, for better or worse. Pray that she doesn't end up getting us killed someday or something."

"And, well, at the least we'll all be rich thanks to this. I'm gonna end up with quite the fortunate after all's said and done I think. And that's not even coming from the Realm's coffers." She grins.

"As for my mom? Yeah, I know she means best for me. She always has and it's usually worked out. Mom and dad's always done their best for me, whether I like it or not."

Fudou the Mountain "I had a 'talk' with Rishi...from one hedonistic lunar to another.." Fudou's words may carry more inneundo then they may seem as he lets that linger and a big grin crease his features before continuing on, "..I expressed to her my thoughts and opinions on some matters but truthfully she means well. Lunar perceptions of things can be..skewed compared to others but I suppose that should be said for all Exalted yes?"

He considers the rest with a cant of his head and purses his lips thoughtfully before adding, "Yes..wealth will be useful. I suppose it depends on what you do with it. I gained something of value as well. Do you intend to simply return to Great Forks, then?"

Amethyst "Someone's gotta keep an eye on that end on the portal. Tho I do suppose I could move my workshop proper into the wyld. That is what I originally wanted the portal for, so that I could use the power of the wyld to go above my station." Amethyst explains.

"As for skewed perspectives, look no further than the Immaculate Order." There's a long deep sigh. "To think I would've once respected and believed in them. Their concept of spiritual primacy is just as weird as Rishi's ways of doing things. But I am glad she means well for me in the end."

"I just wish there was some view of the elemental dragons that wasn't so damn skewed."

Fudou the Mountain "I think we discussed this before. In order to fix some things they have to actually be torn down and rebuilt." notes Fudou, "And honestly that will take a long time and generations of work, though I suppose the efforts and abilities of some can speed things along.. Still, there will be battles fought. There always are when change like that takes place."

Fudou shrugs, rolling his gigantic shoudlers as his arms fold across the expanse of his torso, "..That's what the Lunars strive for, you know, overall. THe downfall of The Realm and all it stands for. The return of the Solars just complicates matters."

Amethyst "A lot of people are going to die, Solars, Lunars, and Dragons alike. And then there's whatever happened to Thorns." Amethyst rubs her face a little, "The naive part of me wishes to see some sort of peaceful end to everything, or at least to make a place where we can all live together in peace. But I dunno if that's even possible, even on a small scale. Dragons like me are definitely the exception and if not for falling head over heels for a Lunar I might feel differently about all of this."

"That said? After we get the portal built and go home? I, for once, am at a loss as to what to do next. I'm going to work on accumulating money, but, then what? Like you said, what I /do/ with all of my jade is going to more important than just getting it in the first place."

"What are you gonna do after we get home, Mr Mountain?"

Fudou the Mountain "Hmm.."

FUdou's voice is non committal to the first bit. He just sort of looks at Amethyst but..his expression being so neutral probably says more then it doesn't say. He expects war and bloodshed and that's all there is to it. Nevertheless he doesn't attempt to destroy her hopes or wishes but neither does he attempt to prop them up.

Instead he just ends up blinking and pursing his lips into an 'O' shape and then going, "Ah yes. Before I forget. I had a message for you." he beckons for Amethyst to draw closer, "From Black Pearl..."

Spring Wind And then, the head of a brown rat pokes out of one of Amethyst's pouches as she wiggles her whiskers and tilts her head. A small yawn follows with accompanying stretch, first one arm then the other. She looks around, noticing Fudou and then looking up at Amethyst before leaping out and standing... Much taller than a rat. Turns out, it's Spring! "Oh heeeeeeeeey, that's where you were-..." she starts, before looking around. "Wait, where /are/ we?" she asks.
Amethyst Amethyst is silent for a moment, contemplating how she's worked so hard to become strong and powerful and wealthy but never really stopped to consider what she would /do/ with all of that once she had it. Well, now's a good a time as ever, before she grows mad and just keeps trying to get more and more. But she perks up, "You have a message from Salara?" She sounds sooo excited.

And Amethyst just looks at Spring with a sideways glance. "Gh, how long have you been in my pouch?!"

Fudou the Mountain "What's all this now??" The brawny lunar is just as surprised as Amethyst as well and he's distracted from whatever message he was about to deliver. Fudou's eyebrows lift up high over the rim of his glasses before a big grin creases his features, "..Now isn't this a surprise. Amethyst. You just seem to love collecting Lunars, eh?"
Spring Wind "I have no idea." Spring says, "Probably not long? Or long? Sleep is like that." she says, then waves to Fudou. "I mean kind of? I saw someone I hadn't seen in a while and got curious, hopped in a pouch, and it was /late/ that night. That someone not being Amethyst, though."
Amethyst Amethyst turns a shade redder as she stammers, "A-a, um, h-how? /You came all the way from Great Forks?!/" And she glares at Fudou, "I'm not /trying/ to collect lunars. You stop that." She crosses her arms and the one can /feel/ waves of water rippling out as she's frustrated, her sorcerous power bleeding out into the wyld around her.
Fudou the Mountain "Perhaps simply going up to someone and saying 'hello' if you haven't seen them in some time versus hiding in their belongings is an option?"

Despite this critique of Spring's actions, Fudou seems more bemused then anything and he leans forward, propping an elbow onto his crossed leg as he peers at Spring, "And now you are here in the Dreaming Sea, with us. In the wyld..."

At the ire of Amethyst, Fudou turns and simply grins again and leans back, gesturing absently, "Oh, come on, there's no need for frustration now. Don't you want the message?"

Spring Wind "I mean I'll take ten if it's private." Spring says, "Plug my ears, look away, that stuff. Just give me a tap or whatever when you're done? Or if it's not private... I mean, things?" she says, shrugging as though at a loss for words.
Amethyst Facerubbing, the dragon breaths in, and the water almost immediately calms, and as she breaths out one can feel the pressure going with it. "Right. I want the message from Salara." She says, "I'm very curious as to what she wanted me to know." She glances at Spring and offers a little shrug.
Fudou the Mountain Once glances back, Fudou has leaned in and planted a kiss right on Amethyst mouth. It's a playful one, especially considering the size difference. Jokes about his head proportion size compared to just how crazy gigantic his physique is, aside, his head is bigger then hers as it should be as he is a giant..and she is especially small so anything particularly aggressive would probably be bad, especially as its unnanounced. Instead this is more a schoolyard surprise kiss assault.

He then falls back from it and belts out a delighted bassy laugh full of lilting mischief in its deep rumbling tone.

"There you go! From Black Pearl to me to deliver to you!"

Spring Wind Beat. That gets a slight blush from Spring, then a chuckle with a playful smirk on her face. "Well I didn't expect /that/... Seems like you've got more than one person looking for your affections." she says, her tone a little lighter this time.
Amethyst There's a moment of pure calm, almost like she won't react. And then one can feel the emotion hitting her all at once as a little shockwave eminates from the alchemist. Her face turns this lovely cherry color as her expression says only one thing, 'please kill me now'. Alas, her body seems to be frozen in place, like her head has sucked all of the heat out of the rest of her body and left her frozen.
Fudou the Mountain "She seems like quite the prize.." needles Fudou, grinning now as he raises both of his eyebrows once again, "A lunar of some power and reputation, a fellow dragon blooded...who else? Amethyst...you must reveal your secret for ensnaring other Exalted and binding them to you so passionately.."

Fudou looks to Spring as he speaks but then ends up turning back to the embaressed Amethyst and his grin simply widens.

"Ah, was my delivery not to your liking?" He rubs his massive jaw, scratching at the scruffy light beard there, "Was I too prickly for you?"

Spring Wind "Hey, hey, I'm not /with/ her" Spring says, then pauses. "-I mean not romantically, and she loves who she wants." she adds, shrugging.
Amethyst It looks like the poor dragon is shortcircuiting for a few moments, "Gh-gh-gh gha aaaaaaa gh ahd aep" She shakes her head violently a whole number of times, squeeizing herself and finally exhaling what feels like a breath she'd been holding. And then she goes and kisses Fudou /right/ back, another little peck.

"I didn't know that's how /you/ felt about me big man." She grins, her face is cherry red and her words are filled with the same sort of wide grin Fudou had for her. "You sure that kiss was just from Pearly? Hmm? You have taken something of an interest in me by now haven't you?"

"And you said it yourself that I seem to have a way with people."

Fudou the Mountain Whoa, whoa, hey. He wasn't expecting that! It appears the tables have turned on Fudou abit as Amethyst suddenly lunges in and his eyes widen visibly behind his glasses as he freezes in place for a second or two. Then as she pulls away from him he just blinks a few times and then finally rumbles with a growing grin, "Now, now. It was indeed from Pearl. A kiss she planted upon me after I agreed to pass it on to you. OF course..that doesn't mean I don't take some enjoyment and pleasure from being the messenger. An interest in you? Hmm..well of course!"

He leans back, settling once more into his cross legged position as he looks back to Spring, "Ah I meant Rishi and Hoarfrost. Perhaps you do not know them."

Spring Wind "Heh." Spring says, "I think I've seen Hoarfrost around, a... Forest witch of some kind?" she asks, seeming a little confused. "I don't remember the last time I saw her, I've really been out of the loop haven't I?" she continues, confusion shifting a bit to equally mild disappointment.
Amethyst Amethyst chuckles and finishes with a noseboop. Her face gets a little less red as she teases Fudou and turns the tables. But alas, she sighs, "Well, it was fun talkin', but I think I gotta go do some stuff for the portal nows. Though we should sit down and maybe talk about what we wanna do next. There's an endless field of potential, and I gotta narrow it down to 'Stuff that makes sense'."
Fudou the Mountain "Hmm.." Fudou rumbles as he hears Spring, "I haven't seen Hoarfrost in quite some time.. I don't think you are as out of the loop as you may think. We've been here in the Dreaming Sea for some time, aiding Amethyst. Soon, it seems, they will return to Great FOorks and..as Amethyst has implied..have to decide on what to do next." He looks back to Amethyst and nods his head to her. "Indeed.."
