*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[NickyKnack]

"Well, most lovely and gracious princess Xatia, do you have a retainer who needs to accompany you, seeing as you are important to the Royal family of your world? Or do I get the pleasure of having your attention all to myself during this trip?" Asked Asclepius. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"I'm fully capable of taking care of myself, Asclepius. I'm a tried and tested warrior, not a helpless princess of lore. But if you fear for us to be alone together, then by all means choose a chaperone of your pleasing." Xatia stated matter-of-factly. She ventured to lean in just a bit closer to add in a teasing undertone, "Rest assured, Asclepius. Your virtue is safe from me. I'm not prone to ravishing anyone."

Aurora smiled a little at that and nodded. She was glad for his hug, knowing he offered it out of caring for her and her girls. She climbed up to sit on his back so they could head back. Even though she still felt weak, she knew she had to see her girls and assure them that she was alright.
~~~
Jackie smiled and moved to hug him close. "You make me feel so special." She said softly, glad they had met and that they were all so ok with her magic. It was nice to not be feared for having it for once, one reason of many that she was so happy to have them here and helping them.
~~~
Anna looked at him then at the collar, coming close to see the inside. "It would be quite a deterrent to trying to get it off r run if it's automatic. If it just keeps shrinking, you wouldn't have to worry about anyone saying where you were if they die soon after leaving"

Once Pyro knew Aurora was settled, he launched them both into the air and headed back towards Jackie's.
~▪~▪~
"It's because you are special. In mind, body and spirit. It is you who makes this realm live. You are truly one of a kind and most days I'm rendered breathless for sharing this life with you. I love you Jackie with everything I am and still is which I had more to give you." Bertram murmured adoringly to her.
~▪~▪~
"Yeah....so how did they live beyond the range of the sensor? There had to be a failsafe, right?" Zypher asked perplexed. Surely the Russians thought of that aspect. "Or were they too cocky and failed to realize that our girls would get off that ship?" He added with a smug smirk.

Asclepius chuckled, putting his hands in front to accentuate his words" princess, in many cultures it is common that a retainer or royal protector be aware of the location of royalty, as sometimes they can be difficult to replace. I would not call your battle prowess or your integrity into question, Xatia." He waggled his eyebrows with some exaggeration, "but I am quite flattered that you would see fit to flirt back."
He caught up his briefcase, making quite sure the latch was secure. Asclepius would never just leave it behind.

Aurora held onto him as they flew back to the houses, eager to see her girls even if she was still tired. That would take a while to go away now.

Jackie blushed at his overly kind words, hugging him close then kissing him when he finished. "You make me feel so special Bertram" She said softly. She never wanted to let him get in any danger, because she felt that she couldn't lose him. They were one
~~~
Anna shrugged and looked at the collar "Maybe that distraction the others gave her made them have to turn the collars off, I don't know.It's another mystery." She said unhappily. "Though I like the idea that they underestimated them, but I don't think it's fully true."

Anubis was impressed by Slygotha's willpower and pain threshold. He looked to the worried wyrmlings and assured them that she was fine. He then stepped forward to kneel beside her prone human form. He reached foreword to carefully peal her fingers open to retrieve the pearl of knowledge. "You did good, Slygotha. You are very brave and strong. Rest, we'll journey onwards when you wake. " He whispered softly to her.

Razeth watched the God with concern and uncertainty. Was his mother truly alright? He worried.

Valstrath hissed protectivly at Anubis as the touched their broodmother so freely. She would've liked it where she awake. The knew with certainty.

Nidhogg burrowed into the mud, quivering with fear at the sight of her mother's experience. Not until a few minutes after did she even poke her snout timidly above the water, blinking as she watched her mother collapsed on the shoreline, with Anubis bent over her. Floating closer, Nidhogg could see Slygotha starting to stir.

Slygotha groaned, the world was spinning, and her eyes swam as she slowly sat up. Flopping forward, she awkwardly pushed Anubis to the side so she wouldn't squish him before returning to her dragon self. "Uhhh my head feels like it just got mauled," she grumbled, gingerly rubbing her head with a foreclaw.
"I knew it was going to hurt, but jeez, I had no frame of reference for that experience." Slygotha attempted to get up, but laid down again, realizing it might take a few minutes before she could move normally.

Xatia looked over to Kellan at Asclepius words. Had she broken earth's rules of conduct? She wondered. She then reached out to Kellan directly to solicit his direct attention on what Asclepius and herself were planning to do. While she awaited his response, she returned her gaze to Asclepius to state, "If you'd prefer, I can personally request Kellan to accompany us. He may well be interested in our endeavors." She paused momentarily as she thought somthing. " I feel a reminder of the Fae's mental link, may ease any worries you may of had of me slipping away without their notice. Mainly because my brethren are just a thought away and I haven't closed my mind to them. So I'm sure they have heard everything we've been discussing thus far." Xatia informed Asclepius pleasantly.

Pyro flew as smoothly as possible to save Aurora any added fatigue from having to hang on tightly. As they came to the clearing by the cabins, he sank gradually to the ground, running to a stop several hundred yards from the cabin the girls had been given.
~~~
"My dear, we could spend eternity debating the unique specialness of each other. And yes, I know that's not actually a real word, but it should be." Bertram said with humor. He got a whimsical look and whispered, "One of these days soon, I'd like to revisit that rainbow cave of yours. It was so lovely and beautiful there. "
~~~
Zypher frowned in contemplation and nodded agreement. "Me too. I.." He started when his cell phone went off. He answered after looking at the number. "Hello, I'm glad to hear from you so quickly. We need a quiet meeting. We have an international incident that needs a certain finesse. It involves your motherland."

The Siberian tiger was quiet for a drawn out minute before saying cryptically, " Run as you may, in the end death has it's day." The call abruptly ended.

Zypher appreciated the unexpected arrangement to meeting with him. In translation, that code phrase ment the meeting was to be at the jogging trail, by the memorial statue, at noon today. He looked to Anna and gave a thumbs up. "Sasha has agreed to meet. Are we driving or flying? Gosh, I never thought that would ever be an option for me." He said with humor.

Anubis stood slowly and brushed off his garments as he looked to Slygotha. "You must not rush this process. Take your time and orient yourself with properly. Rest assured, it has already taking root deep within you. Already your cognitive abilities are integrating this new knowledge. The evidence of this is in the understanding of what I've just told you. For I've just spoken in five vastly different languages."

Valstrath tipped his head at the strange sounds the small boy was making. What was these uttered sounds meaning? He wondered worriedly.

Razeth inched out of the water to get closer to Slygotha to offer his mother comfort and possible protection. He was suspicious of this being and his abilities to lay low his mother.

Kellen looked over then walked over to the pair, curiously. "You wish to go somewhere?" He hadn't been paying attention to their conversation but could see that Asclepius was ready to leave.

Estelle and Elle came out when they saw him land, waiting for him to get closer so they could help their mother down and hug her tightly. They didn't care that she looked older now, they were just happy to have her back with them.

Several dragonkin raised their heads, watching the display curiously, since they didn't know what a mother was really.

Jackie chuckled softly at his joking then nodded "I would like to go there too, but there is so much that still needs to be done." She said, glancing around "Though the day-to-day is mostly taken care of now."
~~~
"If we want to stay 'under the radar' we should drive." Anna said gently then quirked a smile at the appropriateness of that phrase. It made her wonder what any air traffic people had been seeing on their screens with all the dragons flying around in Earth's skies lately.
