[Before there was any imagine, only the sound of someone shuffling about with the device could be heard. A muffled 'Does this really work?' in a female voice followed shortly after. More unintelligible mumbling as suddenly a picture of a rather unflattering angle of a drow's face from being held waaaay too close flicked across the screen. A pair of pale white eyes widen in mixture of surprise and excitement.]

Oh! It really does work.

[There was a beat before the drow realized it wasn't just her seeing her own image, but that she was broadcasting it to everyone. There was another little small gasp as the video shifted. Being held out at the proper distance, one could see the woman squarely in the frame. Koh cleared her throat, giving a small wave with her free hand.]

Hello, sorry about that... I was testing out the functions I was told this device was capable of. I don't have anything like this where I am from so just.... familiarizing myself with it. It seems my visit here is a bit more extensive than I previously had hoped it would be. I... usually don't stay in one place for too long. I guess a formal introduction is in order.

My name is Kolnatha Shavval, but you can just all me Koh for short. In case anyone is in need of a healer, I am a cleric by trade. Which, on that note, would anyone happen to know where I can acquire medicinal herbs? Specifically ones that can aid in relieving motion sickness? [There was slight awkward pause.] I... don't exactly have my sea legs yet.

Comments

[prince_of_the_moon]

... {He snorts at the mention of a "Spider Queen". Sorry, that brings up bad memories of Naraku.} Do you still support her?

{If so, why? He has no love for spiders.}

We must see land now and then. I am not limited by a ship.

[inherlight]

[Koh's brows furrow a bit as her face turns serious.]

My loyalty has never laid with the Spider Queen. Not after what she has done to my people. What she turned us into. No... My devotion belongs to another. I have sworn myself to the Dark Maiden, Eilistraee.

[A beat as Koh tries her best to push down the messy swirl of emotions that bubbled within her. Koh has no love for Lolth.

Shaking her head, the shadow that darkened her features were cast away. A ghost of a smile huanted the corners of her lips. Oh, she was going to get this man to drink.]

True enough. Willing to meet up in person then?

[inherlight]

I'm not sure 'right' would be the word I would use. If we're them, I would have picked someone more well suited for sea travel.

[inherlight]

Time is something we have plenty of here, it seems. I know I will have to get used to it. It could be worse... We could be flying.

[Koh gave a small shutter at the thought.]

Tifa... [She mutters to herself with a little pensive nod. A name she would have to remember.] I hope I will have the good fortune to meet her.

[sos_pilot]

... Dude, for real? That's totally another thing we have in common. The sea sucks. Sailing is more my brother's strong point. Me, I'm an ace in the sky!

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, I guess so. Though...I guess I haven't found flying all that bad. Not that I've done it much.

[It was more floating with fairy dust.]

She's really cool! Uh, I know she's also got a bar, so you'll probably find her there!

I'm on the Plus Ultra Crew, with the [And he pauses for a moment to make sure he remembers it all correctly.} Mighty Explosion God Ship Bomb.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{A Dark Maiden instead? Is that any better? He has no idea. But at least she doesn't hold spiders in high regard.}

Foolish.

{To swear yourself to any ruler, that is. He would never and yet there are people and demons who have sworn themselves to him. Does he think they are fools? That depends.}

Very well. When you land, tell me your location.

Oh that settles it, she is going to annoy him with friendship, gdi

[inherlight]

[Foolish? Good thing the drow took it in good humor as she softly gave him a snort.]

Perhaps. But faith is all I have left to hold on to.

[Well, this was unexpected. From her limited time speaking to him, she had prepared herself for a bit of resistance. But she was pleasantly surprised, titling her head with a smile.]

Well I am currently stationed on a place called Nogard. Though... I have my doubts if this place is to your tastes.

F is for friends who do stuff together~

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Faith. Sesshomaru softly huffs, oh so judgemental. But hasn't he learned the power of faith? ...maybe.}

Work on your strength instead. Do not rely on others.

{He gives an impatient shrug, barely looking at her.}

What makes you think any of these places are to my tastes?

U is for you and me~

[inherlight]

[Strength? Inner strength maybe, but physical? Koh was fairly certain she could chuck him over her shoulder one handed. He didn't look that heavy.]

Don't take my faith for weakness. If you want to have a friendly spar, I would be happy to demonstrate my swordsmanship.

[Her smile cracks wider.]

Fair enough, however I just have a hunch you wouldn't like Nogard in particular. A little too... rough and tumble for your noble sensibilities.

N is for anywhere and anytime at all under the deep blue sea!

[prince_of_the_moon]

{His true form is much bigger and much heavier. He probably retains some of that weight in his more human form, though he certainly doesn't look like it!}

You wouldn't survive it.

{Rough and tumble?}

I have been around fools. {And he can send any that prove particularly annoying flying.} Stay put.

[inherlight]

[Oh how she wished to have his level of unwavering confidence.]

Sounds like a challenge. I have fought dragons and lived. I think I can handle one little pup.

[Koh shoot him another wide grin.]

My feet are planted.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Many do. His chill, his callous certainty is inherited too.}

Dragons are nothing. {He has slaughtered his fair share of them.}

A pup, am I?

[inherlight]

[Such an inflated ego, something she knew all too well growing up in the Underdark. It just sparked her stubborn nature more.]

What? You mentioned that you were a dog demon. Is it an inaccurate description?

[prince_of_the_moon]

I am an adolescent. {If he is honest. In human years, he would be around nineteen.} My brother is the puppy.

[inherlight]

['An adolescent'? Quite the vocabulary for am ankle biter. He speaks like an elder.]

Oh, is that so? Still a pup to me. [A chuckle. Oh boy, he had a brother? She wondered what he was like if this is how the other acts.] You have a brother? Is that why you need to get back?

[prince_of_the_moon]

He is here. {It's remarkable that he is acknowledging Inuyasha at all.} How old are you?

[inherlight]

[His brother was here? Ah... it must be the protective older sibling thing. Having a brother herself, that she could sympathize with. But for her... Rhyle was far from here out of reach.]

Looking out for your brother? I can understand that... [She gave him a small nod.] Me? I'm only 70 years old, however my kind can live for nearly a thousand years if they are fortunate not to be slain. Drow society is unforgiving and violent. Most are lucky to live past 450.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{It's...not exactly...like that. But not far off, either. Sesshomaru would be furious if someone managed to hurt Inuyasha.}

My father was three times {at least} the age of your eldest. I myself am over five hundred.

{Is he truly a pup?}

[inherlight]

Fascinating. Your kind live even longer than the oldest elves by that math. [Again, she grins down at the shellphone.] If you truly live to be that old then mentally you're still a pup, even though you are technically older by time.

[prince_of_the_moon]

He would have lived longer still if he hadn't been cut down. {Purposefully cut down in order to save said brother. Sesshomaru used to be quite bitter about that.}

I am almost grown. Once I discover my full power, I will be.

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, I guess so. Haven't had such a bad time doing that.

She runs the bar, Seventh Heaven! She's pretty cool!

[inherlight]

Oh... [The drow's eyes soften.] I'm sorry for your loss. Losing someone is never easy...

[Wait so... he has yet to grow into he powers and he's been giving her lip?]

Your full power? Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with your kind's life cycle. Does it come with age?

[prince_of_the_moon]

{...he is being given sympathy? Ew. He glowers at her, but he doesn't make a comment. In the past, he would have said something snarky about not having defeated his father himself, but. He has matured.}

Hardly. Power must be harnessed and unleashed. I chose the path of a conqueror.
