A :Newcomer's: Curse (CRIMSON GET OVER HERE!!!))

[deepwallow]

"Then can I go explore he gardens? It's a lot of fun to climb there." He asked hopefully

[CrimsonMoon]

" of course, i'm not keeping you on a leash!" She smiles

[deepwallow]

"Thanks!" He said happily before he sped off toward the gardens. Once He had hopped into a tree, he ventured around until a sight stopped him. He noticed two men crouched behind a bush staring at something as though they were hiding. Frowning, Drow looked for what they were peeking at so secretively

[CrimsonMoon]

Val had returned to her computer but froze. Her somach felt like water... Thats what happened when he felt nervous or in danger... She shvers, it was horrible...

Akai sat with Jiya and the huge jaguar in the courtyard

[deepwallow]

Drow frowned in anger. So they weren't peeking but peeping! With a snarl of disgust he leapt down at them and they yelped and ran. Drow gave chase a little before he snarled one last time at their fleeing forms. "Damn peeping toms." He growled

[CrimsonMoon]

Jiya glances at him but nods just barely to him, not smiling... oh well

[deepwallow]

Drow looks over and gives a faint nod before he continues on his way, eventually settling down under a tree. He sighs and leans against it. This place seemed so much more complicated than the pits. How he missed them.... He closed his eyes as memory took him back in time

[CrimsonMoon]

" nostaligic already?" A familiar voice muses softly

[deepwallow]

Drow's eyes snapped awake and he was up in a fighting stance in an instant, since e was already knew deep in memory already, but soon reality caught up to him and he relaxed. "Yeah, sort of. And sorry."

[CrimsonMoon]

Val sits next to him," Its ok... Go on dreaming... Its good to dream..

[deepwallow]

"It's remembering mostly." He said, sitting back down. "I miss those days. Life was simple. And short for some." He added with a shrug. "Here there's a layer of complexity that I don't know about."

[CrimsonMoon]

"... Yes... It's... Hard to see all the layers at once because none are opaque..." She murmurs and closes her ers," But just wait... You'll be able to fight eventually

[deepwallow]

"Fight? Really? Is it a bloodying match or to the death?" He asked seriously, though seemed excited to hear he would fight maybe

[CrimsonMoon]

" i dunno... But someone is going to try and kill me... And i cant fight..." She sighs, looking guilty," I can.. But not WELL..."

[deepwallow]

"Kill you?! Why? I'll tear their eyes out." He growled protectively, looking like a predator for a second in his anger. This must've been how he was before

[CrimsonMoon]

She winces a bit but puts a xalming hand on his shoulder," Someone is going to find out what i'm doing... So... I just need you to be alert... But that means i also have to obey the Sultan in ways that... Wont be forgotten, ok? Promise me not to do anything stipid.."

[deepwallow]

Drow listens and then nods. "Ok. Should you ever need me, yell 'At my feet, Drow' and I'll come. It's another command. I'll try my best to protect you, Val!" He promised with a toothy grin

[CrimsonMoon]

She grins and squeezes his shoulder," thank you... Thank you..." She was trembling with relief

[deepwallow]

Drow frowned and, after looking around to make sure there was no one else, he gave her a quick hug. "Stay strong! You're brave in my book!" He said before letting her go and stretching. "So what else did you come out here for? Or was that it?" He asked curiously

[CrimsonMoon]

She pauses," Well... I suppose... But do you know if any other visitors are coming?"
