((Yeah I know but they might need some herbs:) lol. I thought she was older then Zal haha!))

Chenol actually smiled as Serenade was talking. Oh did her and her sister understand what she was talking about. When they were growing up they had to strive to be better then the people in their village. "Well you found two volunteers already, count us in!" To her other side Azra nodded in agreement. When Day and Melony came up to them she stopped. "Shut the front door! Ahh that's so cute, congrats guys!" Azra said in response of them dating.

Serenade watched the two interact, and felt envy. That was the other thing the young woman searched for, but she didn't want to tell anyone. She turned to the twins when there was opening in the conversation. "That's going to be wonderful! If you two have any ideas for the act, we could start working on it when you're free." Turning to Day and Melony she grinned at them. "It's so nice to see two people so obviously in love, you guys are making me jealous!"

A smile bloomed on Melony's face at Azra's words. "Thanks Az, I'm so happy I could fly even without wings!" Impulsively she hugged Day and whispered in his ear. "I guess your way works pretty well." The young woman smiled at she fell back to the ground, and extended a hand to the pegasus. She was blushing, and felt like the smile wold be plastered on her face forever. Everything felt wonderful.

Day smiled at all three of the women. "Thank you." He looked at Melony. "Who needs wings to fly when your boyfriend does?" He grabbed her hand. "It looks like we have more people to spread the news to so we will let you guys get back to what you were doing. Good day." With that he smiled and waved Melony forward.

A sweet breeze wafted trough the air, and ruffled Melony's hair. Joyfully she walked forward, clasping Day's hand tightly. "So where to next? And you are right, it's nice having a boyfriend who can fly, but it's even nicer to have one you can talk to about anything." She smiled back at him as they walked, bursting to the brim with joy and happiness.

Day smiled at her then looked up. "It is rather nice to talk." He thought about taking a brief flight then decided to ask her. "Well we could go to the practice tent, or the mess tent, or we could go for a little flight."

Feravin smiled as he hovered above the clouds before his smile began to wane as he pulled out a cell phone, dialing a number. After a few seconds of ringing a man picked up on the other end, and Feravin instinctively stood to attention mid-air, saying, "Hello sir, Feravin reporting in. No sir, I haven't been given one of the rings yet, but I thought you should know that the circus has moved to (OOC: Greece, right?). Yes sir, I understand. Goodbye sir."

Glancing up at the sky Melony smiled. Who ever would have thought a regular girl like her would end up with someone like Day? Sure, Melony would daydream about meeting that one man who would capture her heart, but she'd despaired of ever meeting him. Suddenly one night he was there, but he was a horse. She laughed at the thought. "I never thought something like this would happen to me, not even in my wildest dreams," said Melony with a smile. Glancing up at the sky again, she thought postponing telling the others wouldn't be so bad. "Flying would be wonderful." Her smile turned into a wide grin at the thought.

(yeah, Greece. You can check the front page to make sure)

Day smiled and nodded. "Ok, then I'll be right back." He ran back into the woods and quickly took off his clothes and folded them. He shifted back and picked his folded clothes up in his mouth. He cantered back to Melony, dropped the clothes, then rubbed his nose against her chest. He turned and knelt down knowing it would be impossible to mount without a saddle or something to stand on.

Laughing and shaking her head at the same time Melony climbed onto the pegasus' back. With a smile she softly brushed her left hand across one feathered wing, while twining her other in his mane. "This is the right decision, I'm sure of it Day." She bit her lip a little as she made sure she had a good grip on Day's equine body with her legs, it wouldn't do for her to slip off in mid flight. Leaning forward Melony put an arm around his neck, and blew softly on one of his ears. "How do pegasus show that they love each other?" It was curiosity and a need to know about Day that had Melony asking.

((sorry lilith, my emotional spiral has been kinda negatvive lately ^^; ))

''Haha, I don't know if blue would have suited you. I'm glad you thought it was~'' Cire smiled looking over to everything, as far as she could witout seeing colors. ''Hmm, that would have been worrisome. How to feed rthat person properly and all... I can assume with a village like your's was, secluded, that would have been difficult. Even for elves who are able to vast for a few days. And when it's about jewels, it's not about how rare they are. It's about whether or nt they are magically enhanced.'' A grin played her face as she deformed the jewel with ease, placing it on her shirt. A perfectly detailed dove, frozen on her shirt, looking like a brooch.
As they walked on she noticed what she was looking for, silks and other material for clothes. Ribbons, mini jewels, and such. ''Can you help me choose colors Ahanna?'' She asked, pointing over to the shop, letting her eyes fall over the material, once in a while moving her fingers along the silk sensing whether or not it was ripped and had quality. Some would say she had an eye for it, but it was all feeling.

((I'm at a loss of how to jump back in > . < My characters waiting for Lucifer to return xD ))

Day stood back up smoothly before bouncing a few times. He ran a few paces then jumped into the sky. He thought about her question but didn't have an easy way to answer in this form. His people were much like any horse and many birds of the normal kinds. They showed affection like horses but they also had a mating flight. He decided that he wouldn't be able to do all of the flight without losing her, maybe a saddle would help?, but he could do a bit. He climbed quickly into the air then dove down. When they were just a bit above the trees he tilted back up. He beat his wings till they were high in the sky again. When they got high enough he dropped into a quick spiral. At the end he flew straight then went high again. He looked around and noticed something else in the air. He went closer to see it was a human, no an elf with wings.

((Aw, that's ok. I hope you get happier. ^^ ))


Ahanna shrugged. It would have been difficult but not impossible. "We were secluded and small but we did have very good healers, herbalists, and growers. Our healers had not gifts, and the only herbalists were my mother and me in training, but the person with the most magical gift was a grower. Between us we could have come up with something to feed the person so they could last that long. The bigger problem would be them getting out of shape." She laughed, "we might not get fat but we do have to work to keep our muscles in shape."

She looked back at the jewel shop. "Oh, yes I realized that is what you spoke of. Though aren't magical stones rare? At least because anyone that could use them grab them whenever they find them?" She looked at the little swan and smiled. It was rather pretty.

Ahanna nodded then realized that didn't really help. "Of course. Most of these are rather pretty colors. There is a weird olive color that isn't though. What colors are you looking for?" She looked quickly over the material and saw that everything near them were fancy fabrics; silks, lace, velvets. All things she rarely used. Lace might look nice on a dress for the girls though.

[[OHMYGOSH. I have been so busy. I NEED AN UPDATE. What was Lucifer doing? o.o]]

Mellie ran back out to Rythen and jumped on his back as she always did. "Heh!" she giggled, and played with his hair. 'This man is making me nervous,' she thought, staring at the back of his head. 'He hadn't made a single move!' She was like this, because she had those humanly emotions, and thoughts. She thought relationships were a sign of love, and kisses, and thoughtful hugs. Not just saying it.

((Zalia asked Lucifer to take her to Scarlett ^^ ))

Rythen laughed as he felt someone launch themself on him. She was very different then he was used to. Elves lived for such a long time that when they courted it was drawn out much longer. He carefully stood back up. "What would you like to do now?"

Mellie clung to Rythen as he stood up, and shrugged. Her stomach rumbled loudly, causing her to squeak and blush. "How about ... Eating?" she asked, her cheeks bright red. She played with his hair softly, smiling to herself. It was soft, and light. Her hair was thick, and annoying, so she was glad someone had the perfect hair that she could play with.

[[Did Zalia reply? o.o]]

''Hmm, I guess you would have. I never really looked at it like that, then again, we had very talented healers and herbalists... Well, we had a lot of talented people, enough as to not worry about anything really.'' Cire had a finger at her lip, wondering as to how it would be like.. People without significant magical power trying to manage by wits alone... Very admirable.
''Getting out of shape? Like, really?'' Cire laughed as well. ''I guess we're lucky in that field then, physically we are able to have great stamina... Our power is close to nothing, but we are more magically based so that never mattered to start with. It seems it would be a great hassle to stand up and return to normal life after a month of bare movement. Your muscles are very drained after such a period, after all.''

'' Magically enhanced stones, rare? Yes they are... Depending on the kind of magic. Not everyone who is able to see the magic is here. As for this little dove here, it has very little energy and isn't that rare. I actually just bought it because I felt it would be usefull for costume purposes. On a common occasion such magical gems aren't even looked at, people like the gems which block magical attacks and such way more.'' Cire moved her hand over to the dove, it was quite a common gem when thought about in a magically neutral way. It could be bought and sold everywhere.

''Neutral nice colors that suit the newcomers... Black, white, blue, a better green than weird olive... Red if possible in a nice shade... I think we still have shades of purple, orange, yellow and some others... Patterns or even don't matter... They can choose what they want after all... I'll lend your opinion on this one Ahanna.'' Cire said, fishing around in her pockets before finding the wallet she had brought with her.

((Yes Zal is waiting for Lucifer to take her to Scarlett^^))

Both twins waved goodbye to the couple and then turned to Serenade. "We're pretty much free whenever so just tell us when you want to. We just need time to practice our own act but not much." Azra said with a smile, Chenol continued. "So just let us know and we've never done an act like this. You'll have to tell us what to do and what you want." The twins were excited to be able to help Serenade out. They always did like helping others.

Serenade smiled mischievously. "That's alright, I'll need to get a few props first.. Like a chair made to my specifications, and a platform too. I'm going to need measurements of you two, to make sure you can fit inside the platform, and the box. I have contacts, no need to worry about that. I might try something with a car..." Ideas were flowing into her mind. There were things she'd always wanted to try. Serenade had the money, or at least she could get it. "So, want to hear what I have in mind? We'll have to go someplace where no one can hear us talking."

((Oh and just an FYI! The circus knows if you have bad intents like Feravin has. The circus won't make a ring for him until he changes for good:) That's how the magic works! It can't like tell Zal that he's a spy but it won't send her his ring!))

Smiling at Serenades enthusiasm Azra started to lead her over to her tent. "We can go into my tent to talk. We made Zalia charm our tents so no one can hear us talking if we don't want them to!" When the came there Azra pulled Serenade inside and when Chenol entered she mumbled a few words. "Ok now you can tell us your ideas." She told her.

A loud surprised squeal left Melony's mouth when Day plunged down to skim the tree line. Then he began going trough a series of dives ad turns which had the young woman clamping her knees tightly around the pegasus' middle. Her arms went around his neck, and now she laughed and screamed with joy and excitement. "This is great! when Day began flying straight again Melony impulsively brushed a hand on his cheek with a smile. She had her head lying on his neck but looked up when Day began hovering in place. "What's wrong?" She glanced up and noticed Feravin flying also, she remembered him from his earlier introduction.

The explaining began. "Well for the first trick, there will be a platform, with two staircases leading up to it. There is a compartment in the platform, a small tight space really. The chair's bottom falls out, and there's a styrofoam head hidden in the back of the chair. One of you two will walk up the stairs, and sit on the chair. Then the other twin will come forward with a sheet that she and someone else will hold up material in front of person on the chair. During this time the person on the chair flips down the bottom sits on thin air so to speak. The other lower the sheet so you see just her torso, making it seem like she's still sitting on the seat. After that we put the sheet over her, while I walk behind and flip up the styrofoam head, and she hides in the platform. I walk in front again, wave a bit, then walk behind to take off the sheet and reveal no one." She shrugged with a smile. "Sounds complicated, but it's very crowd pleasing."

((ok, I've lost track of where everyone is. Who all is in the mess tent?))

Rythen nodded before heading to the mess tent. He smiled as she played with his hair. Why do girls love hair so much? He entered the tent with her still on his back and looked around at everyone inside.

Ahanna was growing sad at the talk of her home so she decided to drop that part of the conversation. "Yes, it would be a great hassle. Though at least it wouldn't take as long to get back in shape as a human.

She nodded her understanding of the stones. "That is true."

She nodded again and leaned over the fabric. She noticed that their were several shades of black and picked out the bolt with the deepedst black. She moved on to the white looking for a true white. The blue and green were easier and quickly piled on the others with a light, dark, and medium of both. Red was always the hardest color for her to pick out. She finally pulled out a nice normal shade of red and a slightly darker red. "Ok, we have a dark black, pure white, sky blue, blue, and deep saphire, light green, green, and deep emerald, red, and a ruby color. Now we just need someone to measure these." She looked around and finally spotted a worker. She handed over the fabric before she looked through the laces. "Is there anything else you need?" She pulled out a few laces she thought she could work with then moved over to look at the cottons. She pulled out several greens, blues, reds, oranges, purples, and a few pinks.

((I'm going to hold off posting with Day for a moment.))

Lucifer beckoned Zalia and walked ahead of her, to Scarlett's tent. When inside, he leaned down and kissed her forehead, gently. "I brought Zalia ... I know you are unhappy about not being able to perform, so I asked her to check up on you," he smiled softly, and yet sadly, brushing her hair back carefully. He felt himself slowly sink into this thing called love, but he wasn't going to stop himself.

~

Mellie waved to everyone,greeting them cheerfully, bouncing slightly on Rythen's back. Her green hair was getting to be a bother, so she took two green and gold decorated chopsticks, and wrapped her hair up around them, then into a messy bun on the back of her head, like the Chinese used to do back in ancient times. "I feel beautiful with my hair like this," the succubus giggled, resuming playing with the man's hair.

Scarlett opened her eyes and smiled weakly up at Lucifer. "That's so sweet of you.." She said, sitting up and biting her lip at the slight pain. She then took Lucifer's hand with her good one and pulled him to her a little so she could kiss his lips. It was quick since Zalia was there, but it was still meaningful. "Thank you." She said, then released his hand and looked to Zalia. She was very upset that she couldn't perform.. so the thought that Lucifer went in search of help made her fall for him even more.

She looked towards Zalia, taking her arm out of the odd sling like thing she had made just in case Zalia needed to look at it, and then looked up at her. "Hello, thank you for coming to try and help me with my arm.. I don't know what I did to it. I just twisted it oddly when I fell earlier.." She said, running her good hand through her dark hair.

Cire nodded, obviously she had noticed the undertone bringing the fact the elf wanted to stop the conversation.

The woman kept her eyes on the man doing all off the measures, as far as she could see anything. She could check his aura, if he was lying she could notice it. Some silk sellers give the customer less than they bargained for.
''No, I think we're done here. In the end we are able to cut the silks as we want them so there's no need to buy things we don't need. Unless it's about chocolate... I trust your taste so if you think we still need some things I'm open for suggestions.'' The woman smiled broadly as the man doing the measuring was truthfull, and she picked out her well hidden wallet, already doing her math.
''Sorry for my long talk about stones, when it's about magic items I tend to become a little... Giddy. There are just so many books about them and the possibilities are endless.'' A grin played her face. Magic stones, they were a whole world on their own. Lots of stuff to discover for those who actually bother exploring.


((sorry for holding this off way too long, since it's vacation school decided the last week before freedom to pack us with everything we should have done -but didn't - according to the 'planner', because the teachers were sick. Not our fault. But we are punsihed D: I don't want my parents to pay for enslavement D:))
