Subject: And why would you forsake the cool blackness for the burning glare of daylight?
In reply to: Noni 's message, "Gift of Night ((Noni just got a little angstier))" on 13:51:18 07/27/03 Sun

Deep thought is interrupted by a young scent nearby, even younger than Tew's. Faintly luminous teal eyes flash open and a sleek ebon muzzle lifts, turns to the left, shapely ears prick forward... Tew's voice suddenly laughs in Atumi's head. That's a good student for you, mri'fao. She blew her forehands up last night while you were away, and Erashun had to heal her. Shadowy words flow in reply, Her name? The golden Korat grins, babyblue eyes watching his fellow 'second. Noni, I do believe. Be nice to her. The admonishment is received with a soft snort, and slowly but gracefully Atumi rises. It will take him the rest of the day to completely heal from the battle, while Tew will require half a week to recover, as his wounds were more open and drastic.

The lanky tan, still sprawled loosely on his branch, watches as Atumi pads towards the young female, entire lithe frame slung low in an almost stalking motion. A few easy leaps take him to her tree and without saying a word, he settles to his haunches on the same branch. Whatever light there once was behind teal eyes is immediately dulled, as though someone put a lampshade over a bonfire. The black says nothing, needs to say nothing, as a deliberate glance at scorched paws points out that he's noticed her... talent.

Luckily for Noni, Tew's cheerful voice breaks through the silence. Don't let 'im scare you. Tell him what happened and he'll probably give you a quick lesson just to see if you can do it again. If you can, I can almost guarantee you special training... which may or may not be a good thing, considering the ever-sweet Angel of Death who'd be training you. The impression of a wink and a mental laugh is sent along with the encouragement, Just pretend he's me. He's really not as scary as he looks. Honest. From a distance, Tew's robin's-egg-blue eyes sparkle merrily as he watches the two blacks face off.

My night was invaded by light much too bright to ignore, the light that hides within even me. -- Noni, 15:03:54 07/27/03 Sun
- Then let me show you how to make the light yours... -- Atumi, 15:31:44 07/27/03 Sun
  - Light's play within shadow is fleeting for now -- Noni, 17:22:45 07/27/03 Sun
    - A sun shrouded in darkness still burns... -- Atumi and Tew, 20:09:09 07/27/03 Sun
      - The light of the moon is undiminished by night -- Noni, 22:44:43 07/27/03 Sun
        But in turn, the moon outshines the stars in the vast darkness... -- Atumi and Tew, 23:27:41 07/27/03 Sun
        Even the stars someday will wink out and leave mere shadowed traces -- Noni, 00:56:15 07/28/03 Mon
        And with their deaths, their moons will die as well. -- Atumi, 11:53:01 07/28/03 Mon
        ...leaving only the vast, dark void of swirling night. -- Noni, 12:52:22 07/28/03 Mon
        But even if those stars die, our own moons will shine brightly. -- Atumi, 20:01:15 07/28/03 Mon
        And so they shall dance their hallowed circles through ages to come -- Noni, 21:45:21 07/28/03 Mon
