Here Be Dragons

[Xais'fir]

~Dropping out of hyperspace the Nightwraith enters the Myrkyr system, engines glowing brightly in the black of space as it passes through the defense grid and decends into the atmosphere. Xais'fir sat behind the controls, content to let the ship land at its usual pad when he leans forward to take in the sight of the vorcia landing nearby, something he admired the capital ship for, it made the vessel very versatile. The ship itself didn't draw his attention so much as the custom layout it had, which meant only one thing, it was Lirreka's ship and a smile forms behind his helm as he alters course to pass over the top and alongside the vorcia. The Wraith lets out a small cry as it detects Lirreka standing on the ground below, like one would give a trusted friend as landing plats drop from beneath it to touch earth a moment later. Though he had spotted two other women with Lirr, Xais decided to at least greet his boss and perhaps sate his curiosity as to where she was headed off to this time as he seperates himself from the ship and heads down the loading ramp towards the trio of women. Standing just off to Lirr's right he places his right fist over his heart and bows slightly~

"Greetings Matron, I hope the day fares well for you. I was going to see if you had a new task for me, but it seems you are leaving, so I can take my leave of you if you wish." He says in that light mandalorian accent of his as he turns to bow to each of the other two women. "Us'jalilen's, vedui' ulu dos 'zil al." Though the words sounded odd considering his accent, he spoke with the ease and skill of someone who had used the Danthiri language for quite some time. A faint sound coming from the Wraith brought a hidden smile to his lips, it was saying hello to each in its own way, unusual for the ship to do but he knew it was because both he and Lirr were present.

[Triune]

*She smiles at the Wraith for a moment then turns to speak with her landing officer. She then looks back to the duo of Rainha and Xais'fir.*

"You're both welcome to join us. After visiting Arkania we're planning on making a tour of the core worlds. I'm interested in seeing if the modifications to this Vorcia are suitable."

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She gets ready to respond to Rainha when the ship of Xais'fir comes down and he meets them. Arael continues to stand tall but nods her head only.*

"Vedui' ulu dos 'zil al. Al tha."

OOC Rainha zhah quin screa Ilythiiri

with the arrival and greeting from the mandalorian, rainhas skins once again grows slightly red with anger, due to the fact that she is yet to learn of her hosts tongue. She then replys to the Ebon Matrons words

I would be honored to join you Matron, I have not yet been to Arkania, or seen one of the dragons in person

[Xais'fir]

"Well met indeed, the name's Xais'fir. Odd for a mandalorian I know, but I pride myself on being...unique." He nods to Arael before turning to bow again at Lirr. "Me an' Wraith'd be honored to escort your Vorcia Matron, never know when having a small cloaked ship with you might come in handy. Would you like us to fly wing, or shall Wraith stay aboard the Vorcia? His hyperdrive could use a rest." Unless she requested him to remain aboard the Vorcia, Xais would stay with Wraith as the two were practically inseperable. His head tilted at the mention of dragons and were they able to see his face, the noticable smile would show of his interest in them.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She watches while Rainha and Xais'fir talk with Lirreka. Her gaze is continually drawn towards the Vorcia and Wraith. Soon she finds herself drawn towards them. Curiosity overwhelms her as she touches each one as if touching a precious pet. Her gaze studies both ships closely as each detail of their design "calls" to her.*

[Triune]

"Ah excellent. I believe the Wraith can rest on one of the docking cradles, Xais'fir. I do not want anyone to think we're attacking or some such nonsense."

*While the crew move to tether up Xais'fir's ship Lirreka turns to Arael and leans close to her*

"I have something important to ask you when we get underway darling." She whispers softly but offers no more as she turns and walks up the boarding ramp.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She furrows her brows as Kyra would do and follows Lirreka wondering what she is going to ask. Though her mind seems disturbed, part of her is thrilled to be leaving and getting away from all here at Myrkr. Perhaps she would feel like she belonged more on this excursion.*

[Triune]

OOC: Since they both agreed I'm going to presume they're along for the ride.

*The ship has been automated as much as possible to eliminate as many crew as possible. A crew of seven are all that's needed. Lirreka walks along the corridor to the bridge. Far smaller then the Retributor's it still has that 'capital ship' feel to it. The bridge crew rises as she enters though she waves them back down*

"Captain, get us underway as soon as the Wraith is battened down properly. Set course for Arkania." The captain nods his ascent and Lirreka turns and leads the trio to the salon, a place far better suited for conversation during the journey. She takes a seat and motions Arael over to her side.

"Darling, what I wanted to ask you is somewhat delicate. Do you feel ill-at-ease around other Danthiri?" Her voice is soft and pitched for Arael's ears alone.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She looks down.* "I know I shouldn't. You've done nothing but show love to me, Ilhar. But I can't help but think I stick out like a sore thumb here. I walk the halls and they talk and get quiet. Once I pass, they talk again and I can hear their words. There are many that are jealous and many that despise me. I don't even think Rainha likes me."

[Triune]

"Danthiri are a difficult people. Accertive contestation is in our blood, to strive to be better then anyone else, that is what we do. It is one reason I have strived to see you trained as quickly and as thoroughly as possible. Only your age has thus far kept the challenges and duels from pouring in. Their words seem harsh to you and I understand that feeling. The only way you will ever silence them is to challenge them on it. Force them to face you in a duel. When you win them the words will stop. I wish above all I could have given birth to you myself Arael but even then you would still hear the words. Ask Tiera how harshly she was treated... However I do have something that can help you feel less like a 'sore thumb' if you are interested."

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She looks up at Lirreka intently.* "What is it, Ilhar?" *Her eyes brighten at the prospect.*

[Triune]

*Holding out her hand to Arael so she can see it, Lirreka quickly alters the pigment of it to match Arael's, then just as quickly the mottled almost reptilian nature of Rainha's skin. She continues this moving through various colors and textures until her hand is almost a hypnotic wave of the visible spectrum.*

"I can share this with you..." She whispers.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She watches with fascination as Lirreka's skin changes colors. The brown eyes of the teenager then meet Lirreka's own gaze in fascination.* "How did you do that? Is that something I can learn?"

[Triune]

*She runs her hand across Arael's arm, her hand all but vanishing against it as she shifts the colors to match Arael's*

"Early on in my experimentations with genetics and the full scope of the Chimera Cell I used myself as a test subject. One of the creatures on my world possess this form of chromatic control over its skin. It was the first genetic adaptation that I claimed." She smiles almost nostalgically. "I can share it with you the same way I obtained it, through a controlled merging virus. You would also obtain some of my genetics and we would be biologcally related as well." She smiles.
