<span style='color:gray'>Current Timestamp Current Day: 30 Current Quarter Tria (Summer) Current Year 81379 </span> ------------------------------------------------------- Occulars traveled around the circular room rimmed with large cushions, rot iron chairs and simple marble tables. Large windows allowed the sun to burn through in ease warming everything slightly as vines arched and rolled over the building's foundation and sturdy walls. Thin ebony fingers wrapped about a paisly green mug made from a durable ceramic as well to the merry tea pot in the middle of her marble table. Along with this was a yellowing pad of paper with amber colored scribbles apoun its textured and wizened surface on the behavors and mind sets of the people around her that came in and out as well to sitting. This female was named Venus Octavi, an assassain and a very observant female as the air was thickly filled with scents of exotic teas and beverages in which came with a candy or some type of food product. Her spaded tail curled under neath the tall stool in ease behing higher than the customers and visitors whom chose to seat them selves on the velvets and silks of the cushions. Her aquataine visonaries scoured them easily with out showing them that her spiral pupils stared at them in comfort for her but discomfort for the subject. The sun mingled sweetly apoun her fur and jems in which gleamed with a heafty fires, but this combination of different heat patterns caused Venus a moment of discomofrt before an idle cloud patch swathed the sky. Craning her head up wards to watch the weather in intrest as the luke warm mug pressed to the cherry colored lips and brought in the once steaming liquid.
The liquid flowed in wards through the narrow muzzel, the black fur bristled from the increase of heat fromt he liquid and the suns rays. The Aqua spiral eyes half open in a slow bliss of feeling the flavour soak in to the buds of her pink and black spotted tongue. Her spaded tail moved quicker like a pendulum back and forth in the air of the spindly stool.
<span style='color:gold'>A tall and dark furred creature wandered into the shop off the street. Two golden eyes scanned over the place slowly and took in the sights of several others sitting about. The male turned his eyes away and moved over towards one of the uncomfortable stools and set himself down upon it. His narrow dark furred face pointed down towards the floor as the male awaited the coming of another to order him a drink. He reached his hand up from under his gray rag looking begger's cloak and placed it on the surface of the table. About his wrist was an anicent bracer made of silver with blue and red gems laced throughout it. He sighed softly and lifted his ears up at the faint sound of another coming towards his table. He lifted his golden hawk eyes up and looked towards the figure smirking a bit. "Bring me the strongest tea that the house has to offer. I will pay anyway possible." The waitress took a hint of saracasm and just turned away walking back towards the front for the goods. The male shifted his goldengaze back towards the ground and slipped his eyes closed, relaxing at the sounds and smells of what was in the place.</span>
<span style='color:tomato'>Venus hummed gently as the wafting of her own tea reached the narrow muzzel's nostrils a smile that spreaded smoothly across the sea of ink. Eyes closed pensivly listening to the light laughter and the movmeent sof the bare foot waitresses and waiters. Flickering one sharp ear over to the male whom entered picking his sounds out distinctly like an assassain would in ease, lips shrank back down in to a placid crimson line of lip. Her right hand still wove through the paisly green ceramic mugs handle and the digits rested on the creamy surface as slowly the spaded tail wavered back and forth behind the spindly stool. Opening one almost translucent occular as it swerved about artlessly, her left hand apoun the aging pad of paper and its scrawls of notes in bottle green ink. Grazed her one ear back to a full stand up position as the heat of the small crystals flared for a moment, before her eye rested on the new comer dressed in ragged cloth of a beggar. Her hand snakily moved from the pad to balance under the narrow chin with a cool smile, her hand that was entwined with the mug loosened and slid out grabbing for the sleek nibbed pen. Dabbing its razor tip in quick jabs in the small bottle of green ink it raised up qivering making a dot then scribbling down observations that the one eye first saw before the other eye opened slowly taking in what was on the males wrist before it dissapeared in to the rags. "hmm"</span>
<span style='color:gold'>The male parted his eyes lightly and directed them into the direction of the female that was looking upon him. He noticed the pad and pen. He just gave a light smile then turned his eyes away. He lifted his head back up then drew his hand back from under the beggar's cloth placing it back on hte table, allowing this observing 'dragon a better look at what he had. He just shook his head a bit then reached his hand up over his head causing the sleeve of the cloth to drop back along his black furred arm showing the elaborate tattooes on it. He dropped his arm back down then lowered his eyes again towards the table top. He snaked his tongue out and traced it over his lips lightly as his tea was set down in front of him on the table. He reached his finger into the ring upon the mug then lifted it from the table. He brought towards his nose and took a fine smell of the tea before sipping from it. "Interesting..." He placed his mug back down then lifted himself up from the stool. He wandered over towards the open balcony heading out into the back area where tables and chairs were setup. He turned back and came into the cafe once more, taking up his mug again. He chuckled a bit and moved out finding himself a vacant table setting himself at it. The male reached his hand up towards his shoulder then dug his claws into the worn cloth before ripping it from his body exposing the anicent wear beneath. Several other 'dragons took notice of his wear and tattooes but never spoke loud enough for him to hear. He silently took another drink of his tea before placing it back against the table once more.</span>
Venus looked a bit miffed at how the male just put him self up for observation with him knowing she was observing him as her pen slowly slipped form the slender fingers. Her slender eyes widened showing the clearly spiraled pupils, flickering both of the inky audits forthwards almost angry but suprised more the less at the male. Staying in her spot slowly mubling to her self in an knowngly anubian language, as the ears swuiveled around slowly as Khell, Yki and what not stayed where they were watching the male move across the circular room. "Seems like I have been spotted" Her vocals hummed gently across the spanning ear streams as her legs crossed under her table, sun streamed in wards.
<span style='color:gold'>The male looked over his shoulder towards the female that was so content on looking at him before. He winked at her then turned his eyes away looking back out at the vast woods that surrounded the temple. He slipped his hand up along his head lightly caressing his ears back before they launched back up again. He lifted himself up from his chair and took another drink of his tea before wandering over towards the balcony rail, leaning himself against it. He scanned over the area slowly and took another hint of the air, getting his lungs cleaned out from the long day of wandering nearby towns. Such filith ran rampant in those places, allowing very little if any, clean air into the place. But up at this temple...it was like being in a set environment. "You don't have to lurk like a shadow...my dear. Feel free to come and talk with me...ask me questions." The male's voice invaded the 'dragon's mind, trying to get her to stop being an anti-social bug around him. If there was something that she wanted to do or say to him...it was the time now to do so.</span>
Jumping at the voice in her head as the slender fingers reached up wards to rub the inky temple covered in enameled curls. Pale occulars half opened with a soft grunt of suprise and pains of a head ache, slowly her voice mumbled back as she did sit fully in the sun with it flamingher back. "E un mys umse Tykeul myj py E lojc iyo nula. " The female's tongue clicked on one of the K's in her sentance, still the elbow remained planted on the grandoise marbling of the spindly table on its rot iropn legs. Flickering on ear twards the male as the eyes diverted to the yellowing parchment as lips parted in to a slow even exhale of carbon, clicking the free hand's nail on the table it's self as her eyes slid under the velvet curtains. Some lizards on the glass sunned lazily or on the temples rocky walls having the look of being quite content, as bees sipped at the nectar that large exotic flowers with held in their wombs. Her digitigrade feet swung a little bit in the rocking motion of the pendulum like tail, as the eyes unraveled from the covers to look out side at the dazzeling gardens and what not.,
<span style='color:gold'>The male turned back and made his way towards the inside once more. He reached his hand up and slipped it back along his head then dropped it to his side. The male came and set himself across from the 'dragon dipping his finger into his tea cup. He gazed upon her for a short while before lifting his finger out and touching it to his lips. He hinted his tea once more and winced a bit. He drew his finger back and lowered his eyes towards the table. "So tell me...what is someone like you doing in a place like this? I mean I seriously doubt that you're an religious person." He sighed softly and lifted his eyes back to the dragon. He took a sniff of the air then turned his eyes into thedirection of another that was at a table to the left of them. He glared a bit upon the 'dragon and snorted before looking back to the female. "I mean I don't mean to intrude or anything like that."</span>
Venus ruffled the inky fur at the male whom started to speak to her quite easily, her pale eyes looked uncomfortable as the spirals of her pupils became small or more thinner than usual. She was never shy with males it was just something of being caught observing daily life of others as her hand moved over the vauge notes that were scrawled in bottle green ink. The vervain red lips pursed before a quick dart of a purpled tongue wetted the lower lip, as her head tilted to the male as every sunlight caught on the thick tresses of fire. A slow vibration of a voice came from the narrow throat, the vocals soft yet cultured with a odd accent. " Not at all it is fine to have some company most people avoid me, Why I am here is private matter that only I should know but they do serve good drinks here with snacks. " The small jems embbeded in the inky fur glowed more rapidly not from the sunlight but a more chemical stimulation, as the small fires rolled happily in the seemingly glass spheres.
<span style='color:gold'>The male smirked lightly at her words then leaned his head back with the cup in hand, downing the rest of his pipping hot tea. He shuddered a bit then leaned his head back up placing his empty cup on the table. He lowered his eyes down onto the notepad and jus gazed upon it for a short period of time before looking back up to her. "So you observe...those around you. But I really shouldn't poke around where my business isn't wanted." He held his cup up and the waitress came over taking it up from him. She asked of what he had and he answered with the simple word of "strongest", the waitress seemed to know what he was talking about before she wandered off back towards the kitchen area to get more. The male turned his eyes back towards Venus giving her a relaxed look, gazing into her eyes. "You seem a little uneased...any reason why?" It seemed like a reasonable question at the moment, right?</span>
Venus just gave a twittering laughter, cranium tilted back wards as the noise showered for the males audits. Her hand twined with her paisly green mug again lifting it to her lips in the pause of her laughter her eyes looked quite merrily at him. Her change in attitude was strange but at the same time it was a comforting thing as the inky fur arched up wards from the intake of heat before finishing with the long drink. " You hit the mark, my uneasiness comes easily to people I do not know, a vagrant trust can be placed I am certain. allow me to introduce my self I am Venus Octavi. " Out streatched a delicate hand with thick callouses on the blended paw pads, as a girn still spread on her muzzel. Outside humming birds flickered about as the lizards moved a little bit at a fly or two that were attracted to the sweet flowers.
<span style='color:gold'>He looked down at her delicate hand the looked back to her. He gave a smile and reached his hand out placing it gently about hers, giving it a light squeeze. "Horus." He just held her hand loosely looking into her eyes as he sat there. His gaze seem to never leave hers as he continued to just stare. It was somewhat odd to him that he would be feeling so strange to a creature that he just met. He lowered his gaze from her as the waitress came back with two new cups of tea placing them on onto the table. She then takes up the green mug and walks off again minding her own business. He forced himself to relax his hand fully and to remove it from hers. He had a feeling that she could see that he had some devine aura about him. But just shook the idea from his head. "So where is it that you hale from?" He was trying his best to strike a conversation, cut the tenison that was thick in the air. He cleared his mind as he took a drink of his hot tea, carefully placing it back onto the table.</span>
A small chuckle escaped her lips as her hand reached for the pen and the pad, the other paw capped the ink on the small bottle, looking at him as she spoke most dillgently lifting a bag from small hook on spindly chair arangement. The bag was patch work seemingly loved and filled with strange items like a small sewing kit, one beat up novel, pens, pencils, charms, trinkets and what not in side. Carefully putting the pad of yellowed paper inbetween a diary and the beatup novel, after that was completed a small box was forfieted in to her hand with two more ink pots in side it, stowing the green ink in it while her bag sat plumply on her legs. " Nice to meet you Horus, you parents most of really liked that name beacuse it is the name of an egyptian god and it is extremely sarcred in Anubi Culture to name your child Horus. " Her eyes looked at him as she was finally relaxed as her new cup of tea flickered its steam up in to the warm air, as her spaded tail curled around the narrow female waist. Venus took the bag and buttoned it back the opening, hanging it on that hook on her stool, she spoke again with the cultured vocals. " My Motherr named me Venus beacuse she was more beliving of the Greek mythologies and their gods and goddesses. You know aries god of war, hades of the under world and her favourite was Aphrodite or Venus a planet and goddess of love. My dad dind't care he was a bit stern about the names he wanted me to be named Isis but my mom won the name war. " She paused slightly before thinking about where she haled from as her eyes looked at the smooth whorls of the ceramic. " I come from Pwa Desert or I was bornt here andmy parents moved off to Bhim "
<span style='color:gold'>He smirked at her words, noticing that she was clueless to whom he really was. He gave her a soft nod taking another drink of his tea and watching her as she messed around getting her goods put away. He reached his hand up onto the table where he leaned his head against the palm of it just watching her till she was finished. He gave her a nod and lowered his eyes away from her looking back to the dark amber liquid, swirl about in his cup. He smirked a bit then lifted his eyes back to her. "I think that your mother was very wise in going to call you by such a name. Fits you so well, being far more beautiful than the goddess herself." He lowered his eyes away from her once more and took his tea cup up again placing it to his lips then gets a slow but great drink. He placed his cup back down once more and looked over towards the others in the cafe, giving it a light glare then looks back to her. "You seem to know more about this temple than I. Care to give me a good walk around, prehaps a tour."</span>
Lips parted gently at the words giving her soft comments that pleased the sharp anubial ears, as her own pale eyes flickered at him as he drank the thicking liquid. The sun played on them as now clouds shifted more thickly over the Cafe's thick panes of glass to keep the weather out but to show it. Her mouth open and paced with words to the slow vocals that vibrated form the narrow ink throat. " thank you sir, I do not know much about this temple actually I am pretty new here my self"
<span style='color:gold'>Horus gave her a smile then placed his cup back down on the table. He slipped his tongue along his lips collecting the small amount of strong but also sweet fluid from them. He lowered his eyes down onto the cup for a short moment before lifting his eyes back up looking to Venus. He gave a grin this time and stood up from the stool. "Well then since we both are new to such a place, would you like to tag along with me to explore a little bit?" He was somewhat uplifted about the idea of taking a stroll with this lovely 'dragon through the temple. Maybe if by some stroke of luck they even my stumble onto something undiscovered and claim rights to it. That would be exciting. Horus thought as he extended his dark furred hand out towards Venus. "Unless of course you are to afraid too." He winked at her giving a tease just to see if it would spark her interest of exploration.</span>
Venus gave a hearty smile as the slick legs crossed taking his hand up with her own, the long fingers spanned over his wrist almost or would it seem. The pale spiraled eyes flickered over his grinning face, lips tartly peeled over the inkling gums and shards of sharp teeth. " i am not afraid of explorations. Unless you are" The vocals rang out gently holding that strange tonement to them, that was followed by a tinkling laughter almsot rain like. Flickering that spaded tail quicker behind her with other dragons staring at them int he blow of sunlight.
<span style='color:gold'>He grinned softly ath er and lead her off away from the coffe shop. He led her down a trail heading for somewhere. He slips his tongue along his lips and looks over his shoulder towards her. He gave her a light grin before slowing down and allowing her to come up along side him. He caresses his thumb over the back of her hand gently. He sighs softly just glad to be in her present. "What is your branch of work, lovely Venus?"</span>
Following the male quite easily as her dark spaded tail flickered behind her in a deep arc before it poked up wards for the sky. Looking down apoun that hand that he held easily watching his thumb delve in to circles messaging it tenderly. She thought of an couple of answeres before her truthful vocals resonated out wards. "Assassination and Psycology and your sir?"
