Luck was apparently on Gustav's side, for the stunning Emira was coming down the courtyard with her entourage of clerks and nobles to follow her. She was lush of body, curvy in her hips and her breasts, lithe in her stomach and her thighs, with striking jade eyes set against golden-tan skin and black-as-sin hair.
Her kohl-lined gaze landed on Gustav and she held up a hand to stop her entourage as she approached him. "You are...?" she asked, looking over him with interest -- although whether it was sexual or not was hard to discern.

Gustav was stunned at the sight of Fairuz. His eyes darted first to her breasts, but her hips promised more. White-skinned women of average girth could be found in abundance back north; this exotic enchantress offered more to Gustav visually than any woman could offer him physically. Could he ever look at his kin's women the same way? They may as well have been men! His muscles relaxed and a warm feeling washed away the heat of Sakand. His fingers tingled at the thought of caressing her skin, and his mouth watered at the thought of-
"Nope," he said quietly so no one would hear, dismissing the thoughts. The temptations were strong, certainly, but these were tests laid upon him by the Divine One. What a vile thing for the Divine One to do, the Varan Knight-Brother thought, to set this woman before me and test my vows.
"My lady," Gustav bowed courteously. "I am Gustav von Valland, of the Brotherhood." He shrugged, "we are a distant order, and not of this land, so I doubt you have heard of us. Nevertheless, my master, Hochmeister Adrian von Heschburg, sends me here to discuss diplomatic matters with you." The Varan rubbed one hand over his sweaty hair and rested the other on his hip, eyes agape, grinning. "I wish he had told me of your beauty beforehand."
It was a good thing Gustav had not been born a canine, lest he salivate in the Emira's courtyard and hang his tongue out at her. Despite his honest and charming attempts to remain professional, the big brute could not help but unleash his inner-nature. Men were born to breed afterall. Should've remained a pagan, ye big oaf! he thought to himself.
"Er-, uh-, excuse me, m'lady. Ahem. As I was sayin', er, how do you do?" Gustav bowed, again, embarrassingly so.

She listened to him speak, and watched him as he watched her. Watched him as he wanted her. She was familiar enough with the look in a man's eye, and it made her body slightly warmer in response, too. The Emira walked closer to him as he was speaking, long-winded sentences in his Common tongue, using words and identifiers that told her that his culture was far, far different from her own.
"Mmhm," she said, stopping a polite distance away. Her exotic body was wrapped in a vibrant strip of cloth of turquoise and peach and coral and purple, lined and threaded with gold. It was wrapped around her hips and made to drape over her opposite shoulder, covering her breasts... but it was loose. If Gustav ever did reach out to touch that warm, golden skin -- to see if it was soft as it looked -- his hand could easily travel to her shoulder and pull at the material, leaving her naked from her the top of her pretty head to the flare of her hips... and everything in between. "I am glad that he did not."
She smiled at him, and then gestured that he walk with her through her palatial abode. "I imagine your master sent you because of my request for warriors to help guard my efforts of expansion?" She asked.

Sir Cairex Forgepyre and @safiya were escorted onto a low pavilion where gauzy curtains were so long they hung in the water, cranes standing in the water nearby as they looked down at the fish in the naturally-made canal around the Emira's palace. A servant was waiting for them and bowed deeply. "The Emira is most grateful for your presence," the servant said, and then gestured that they follow him into the palace.

Safiya stepped out of the boat without using assistance given. She looked around at the large building, its oppulance. She had to admit... under Emira Fairuz's command, it seemed that Sakand was coming back from the decline it had been in. But at what cost, she wondered?
Glancing at Cairex to see that he was with her, she moved to follow the servant into the palace.

Physical Description: Wolf - stature of a large grey wolf, mottled patches of darker grey and black mingle in with a lighter grey coat. A single black patch of fur surrounds the blue eye, while the brown eye is surrounded by the light grey color. Teeth are sharp and well maintained, just like his claws.
Hybrid - His most common form, his coloring perfectly matches the wolf form. This form stands around 7ft tall, weighs nearly 330 lbs, with a fairly long tail.
Human- only used when interacting amongst civilized society, he is tall for a human, around 6'3" and about 210lbs. His long hair matches the grey and black coloring of his wolf fur, and the only distinguishing feature is his canine eyes and elongated canines.

Cairex looked hungrily at the cranes as he was painfully reminded of his own hunger, a great deal of willpower necessary to keep from leaping into the water and devouring one.
Being an actual knight, he had figured out most courtly manners, and was mostly grateful for it at this moment, smoothly delivering the proper response.
"And we are most honored to be invited into the Emira's presence." He said to the servant, aware that nothing visible of his attire indicated his status. Cairex shared a glance with Safi and shrugged, following the servant inside.

-- to Sir Cairex Forgepyre and @safiya They were lead into the palace by the servant, threading through large hallways where murals and mosaics were put into the walls and the columns, fantasies and myths of Sakandi origin -- of Sakandshrianan, of magnificent heroes, of gods who touched mortal lives, BLESSED mortal lives. What they came to was... something of a hothouse. Fairuz was there, in a gown of deep, deep purple, lined with gold and showing off a wealth of her back as much as it did right down the front. Still, it seemed casual for the Emira, her hair drawn in a thick braid and woven with small golden disks at the end so it chimed quietly. The servant bowed, and gestured for the burly knight and the Sakandi warrioress to come forward. The Emira was down a lane of exotic flowers. At closer look, most of the flowers were either the same or very similar, with differing colors and a long stem. She had two "watering cans" with her, or what could be assumed as such. Her hands were bare, and there were scissors near where she stood. "Safiyazade," Fairuz said, not looking up from her work where she was examining each petal of the plant. "Who is your friend?"

Gustav's heart beat faster than it ever had and he had the urge to grab @fairuz and break every vow he had ever swore. Standing before him like she was was a little to tempating... But he kept his composure as best he could. He happily turned to follow her - anything that might keep her close to him.
"No, he did not," he replied as he walked with her. "Although, in an effort to improve relations, I am permitted to assist Sakand, assuming the matter is within my realm of work." What he really wanted to say was "yes, I will do anything for you if it means getting you somewhere alone". "Is there anything you need, m'lady?"

" In fact," she said to Brother Gustav von Valland, walking beside him as a slow stroll, hips gently swaying -- sweet as honey, " there is. Perhaps you noticed the noise and cacophony of construction beyond the Western Walls of Sakand?" she asked of the man beside her as they walked. Jewelry gently chimed as she walked, no doubt from the gold earrings that dripped from her ears... and perhaps a hidden anklet that would not be revealed unless somehow her skirts rose up her legs.

Safi avoided looking at Cairex, given she was aware how curious it must be that the Emira of Sakand was referring to her so casually. She stayed where she stood, but gestured mildly to the foreigner's direction. "He says his name is Cairex," Safiyazade said, trying to keep her voice toneless. "But I imagine you already know that, Fairuz."

"I do. But I wanted to know if you did," the Emira finally said, lifting her gaze off of the plants to look at both of the warriors standing in front of her. She moved toward them, her vibrant purple gown making a small train beside her as she stepped closer. Her gaze was steady on Safiyazade. "And it's Emira Fairuz, now. You haven't been gone that long to know," the Emira said. She turned her gaze onto Sir Cairex Forgepyre, taking in his countenance. "Hm. Are you hungry?" She asked them both in a generic way, her hands loosely clasped in front of her.

"Famished, Your Highness." Cairex said with about as much grace as he could muster. Downsides of being a werewolf included a ravenous hunger that drove many of his kin with less will mad, Cairex avoided this by staying in prey rich environments. Saved money too, but the ship was not one of those environments, and he was starving.
The Emira was quite the fetching woman, and Cairex found himself wondering if the noblewomen of Alban had been so striking if he would have stayed there. Perhaps. Cairex himself was not bad looking as far as humans went, predominantly due to his level of fitness and stature. His face bore the signs of a life spent mostly in the Wild, scarred, but not yet tired, indeed his eyes suggested that he may have preferred such a life, and it certainly appeared as if he was suited to it.

She had been expecting @safiya to answer, but instead was pleased to hear Sir Cairex Forgepyre speak up. She turned her stunning face in his direction, a Sakandi beauty that outshined Safiya's, perhaps with the help of magic. Fairuz had smooth, golden-tan skin, a heart-shaped face blessed with a lush mouth and large, green-blue eyes that tilted up slightly at the corners, fringed with thick, dark lashes. Something sensual was usually sparked in that gaze that she now let rest upon Cairex, and for a moment her lashes swept downward as she took him in again. And then she looked the wild, animalistic Cairex in the face. "Then let us eat," she spoke in accented Common, and turned to lead the two of them over to where meals were prepared within a sort of lounging area within the green room. She took a place on the chaise, and two wide, low, and comfortable chairs were placed for Safiya and Cairex each, servants nearby to refill their plates or cups so they wouldn't have to lean toward the low table in the middle. "How pleased I was to discover that the both of you had entered Sakand. Even more pleased was I when I was told that you both seemed to have struck up an acquaintance. The natural chemistry between you both will work well for the task I have for you both -- if you would like to take it," Fairuz spoke as she walked, then laid herself out on the chaise in a position to accent the voluptuousness of her hips, the smallness of her waist, the plunging neckline revealing the way her breasts pushed lightly together.

Her golden eyes narrowed on the Emira as Fairuz corrected the prodigal daughter of Sakand. Safiya's fist lightly clenched, but she didn't make any move to argue with the woman, especially when Sir Cairex Forgepyre almost immediately jumped at the chance for food. Then, of course, the warrior woman had to watch both of them size each other up and she just about rolled her eyes. Still, she stepped forward and followed after the Emira, following her to where the hot spice of Sakandi food filled the air. She took off her bag and set it down on the floor, then sat at the edge of her seat as she chose not to use the servants but serve herself some of the ethnic food that was laid out for the both of them. Safi glanced at Cairex as Fairuz mentioned their chemistry, then sat back to make herself comfortable in the Sakandi chair, drawing one booted foot up to brace on the seat's edge, her knee tipped outward to rest against the chair's arm as she ate. "And what is that?" Safi asked, eating spiced fruit.

The subtle interplay and whatnot between the two women was entirely lost to Cairex, who had spotted something far more beautiful than Fairuz, food. Sakandi food smelled a bit strange, but in a good way. He likely could have asked what was in it, but he didn't care one bit. He heaped food onto his own plate, too focused to even note the slight annoyance visible on Safi.
Something tugged at his mind as he ate though, a thought that made him grow curious as to how she knew who he was.
"How did you know who I was? Surely there was not enough time for word of my arrival to have reached you?"
Now he noticed the slight annoyance, and wondered what had caused it. Perhaps he had accidentally offered insult? He would have to apologize when he got a chance.

"I have my ways," the Emira said with a silken tone to Sir Cairex Forgepyre, amused by the way he fell onto the food. There was lamb and fish and bovine to eat, spiced and sauced in traditional Sakandi fashion. The man didn't seem to mind however, eating like an animal. Of course, then @safiya's voice broke through, and the Emira turned her gaze onto the other Sakandi woman. "I want you to retrieve the Eye of the Moon," she answered simply, and drank from her chalice, not yet eating.

Safi choked on the kebab she was eating, dropping her leg back onto the floor as she leaned forward and tried to simultaneously swallow and get air. Her dark hair swung with the jerking of her body, until she was finally able to catch her breath.
"Are you insane?" Safi asked @fairuz. "That place has killed as many as have tried to retrieve the Eye," she went on to say, sounding incredulous at the Emira's plan.

That answer did not please him one but, and he eyed the Emira with suspicion. He did not like that she knew such things, for it reminded him of the witches he had dealt with in his youth, which had earned him his last name.
"What is this object?" He hoped he would be allowed to collect his gear before going after this object, his armor would certainly come in handy for such a delve.

"It is said to be the eye of the Moon Goddess, taken from the skull by the hero, Yashin, and holds great power. It was rested in the obelisk, situated deep into the earth where the Moon Goddess could never find it again," Safiya said, her words coming sharply and hotly, a crisp edge to each accented syllable she spoke. "And the Emira has clearly taken leave of her senses if she honestly thinks that we will do this task for her."

The Emira sat up, taking her feet from the chaise so that she could sit and leaned forward. "Safiyazade," she said very carefully. "Do not let your mouth run away before your mind."
Then, she squared those jade green eyes onto Cairex. "In Sakandi lord, the Moon Goddess was also the Goddess of Moisture and rain. A thousand years ago, there was a river that ran from Sakandi into the depths of the Sorala." Her voice had a storytelling cadence to it, a rhythm one might want to listen to, if only to hear the tales that spilled from her lips. "It was along this river that the Moon Goddess was said to walk, and each footstep she took, a great palm grew, for she brought water to the sands and made it teem with life. She was set to marry the Scorpion King, but as scorpions do, he tricked her, and left her alone. In her wrath, she took away all of the water from the Sorala, leaving only the spring where she cried for her broken heart, the salty tears becoming the ocean. The people of the land began to die, and the Moon Goddess' heart became dryer, and dryer, until it was as hot and unforgiving as the desert. Yashin flew on the back of a hummingbird to the moon and stole the goddess' eye. He brought it back down to the Sorala and into a temple at its heart, where water again flowed..."
Fairuz sat back and shrugged her shoulders. "And for some reason, it stopped. But that gem, that sapphire. It is still there. And if I can get my hands upon that gem again, I can make water flow back into the heart of the Sorala. My people need it."
