Age: Yesterday.
Physical Description: Edward Laurént stands at 5'10. He has midlength black hair, and a clean shaven face. Previously his facial features were hard to remember, since he has begun wearing glasses they have become easier to recall. He looks to be in his late twenties, with a strong jaw, mid set cheek bones, straight narrow nose, and full lips. He appears to be in decent physical condition, though he is a bit pale.
Edwards eyes are an odd shade of blue, and they quite literally glow. With his glasses on, the glowing is the only remarkable thing about them. When you stare into his eyes when his glasses off though... it can be an odd experience. Staring into his eyes gives the impression that time has ceased to flow. Then you become aware of just how fast you are moving through the void of space. Most students avoid looking into his eyes.

Clothes and Equipment: Previously Edward only owned one suit of clothing. He retains these clothes, as a sort of work uniform. His style of dress when working is odd. He wears: sturdy blue cotton pants, an over sized coat of some unknown material, a sweater with a hood sewn onto it, and a large scarf. Each piece of clothing fluctuates in state of repair, and cleanliness through the day. If these clothes were not so eccentric, he could easily be considered a beggar while wearing them.
Edward has begun to expand his wardrobe in recent months. His first new accessory is a pair of glasses. Unlike other time mages, Edward struggled with turning off his time sight, rather than turning it on. His glasses are enchanted to suppress it. When not working he tends to wear casual clothing. Loose white shirts, and simple leather leggings. He also has a handful of stylish, if simple mage robes for special occasions.

Echoes smiles as he watches Gavin play. Even when he sits and takes his tea, his attention constantly flickers from Reuna to his son. His smile is deep and sincere, showing a contentment he had not felt in... who knew how long? He waves off Reuna's apology.
"Don't worry, it will take me time to adjust as well. As to how I accomplished this... A great deal of power, a great deal of risk, and a great deal of help. I located a place that provided sufficient ley line and spiritual power. Acquires two shamans, and a light mage from Falkreath, and sacrificed the sword. The light mage, and one of the shamans worked together to create a vessel. The other shaman the more spiritually sensitive of the two acted as a channel for Gavin's spirit. While I sacrificed the sword to rend apart reality, making the barrier weak enough for Gavin to pass through. Even with all of that we may not have been successful, if not for the intercession of a time dragon, doing similar work on the other side."

Roleplay posts: 361 
Age: 51
Physical Description: Reuna is a striking study in contrasts. She is just slightly above female average, height-wise, standing at 5'8", and is slender, with a fragile bone structure that makes her look weak; this is, of course, balanced out by her strength and skill in magic. Her hair is long, descending to her waist, and is purely black, which is a sharp opposition to her pale-skinned features. Her eyes are the color of amethyst, dark and intense, and are usually the only method from which one can derive her mood, as she very rarely displays her emotions via facial expressions. She appears young, in her mid-thirties, although if one looks closely enough, they can see the beginnings of fine lines around her eyes and mouth. Although few have ever seen them, due to her tendency to keep herself fully covered from neck to toes, she has whip-mark scars covering most of her back, and scars from long periods spent in manacles around both of her wrists, remnants from her days as a slave.
-----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Generally, Reuna wears one of five sets of identical robes, with high collars and long slightly-loose sleeves, in black, dark grey, purple, dark green, and dark blue. Commonly-carried equipment consists of her personal grimoire, a traveling writing kit (with ink well, quills, and writing desk), and a belt with pouches that contain various items (both magical and non); though perhaps not considered equipment, her raven companion Karrik always accompanies her.

Listening to Edward's explanation, she nodded slowly, mulling the words over in her head. "Fascinating... A time dragon! Their existence has been naught but rumor for so long. To think, one would actually help you. A great and wondrous surprise, indeed." With cup of tea in hand, Reuna's attention drifted away from Edward, to watch Gavin at play. Her gaze softened, a small smile on her lips, even as her heart ached. She was so happy for the-man-who-was-Echoes.. but at the same time, she was envious. She had wanted children once. Crulamin's children. All she'd gotten was a miscarriage, and the apparently permanent loss of her lover. Shaking those thoughts aside, she focused on the present.. on the positive.
"I wanted so badly to believe it would work, but I didn't dare hope for so good a result. You are truly blessed, Edward." Raising her cup to her lips, she sipped at the liquid within, pulling her gaze back to the time mage once more. "Should you ever need someplace safe to leave him for a time, my home is always open to the both of you." She'd already adjusted her wards to allow for Gavin's presence, and she was pondering setting up a playroom and bedroom for the child. She saw no reason not to mother the boy: She had no children, he had no mother. It was only logical. And perhaps it would heal something inside both of them.

Echoes takes a sip of tea, his gaze too stays on his boy.
"This was the second time dragon I have met. He was much nicer than the first. I will have to take you up on the invitation to house him, sooner than I would like."
He turns his attention back to Reuna.
"As it transpires I lived in my classroom. Which is a poor place to raise a boy, I will need to buy a house. Then ward it, and set it up in fourth dimensional space. All of which will take some time. Sorry for the imposition, but I have no one else to ask."

Gavin was following the green ball enthusiastically, throwing and kicking it and trying to catch it. He noticed the wards protecting the more interesting artifacts in the room, but rather than be deterred by them he decided to use them to his advantage. The wards' ability to repel objects made them perfect for bouncing the ball off of. Gavin had discovered a new game.
He would take the ball and throw it at a warded object with the intention of getting it bounce off of it and strike another target in the room. It wasn't long before he got really good at it, able to strike targets on the other side of the room with the help of the ball and ward.
This went on for a while until he overheard the adults talking about him staying here. "Daddy, are you going to marry Aunt Reuna?"

Reuna's eyes rounded ever so slightly at Edward's words, and she nodded quickly, then shook her head vigorously. "It is no imposition; I offered, after all. Let me set the spells into action and I should have a space for him in a few hours." Setting aside her teacup, she stood and moved to a nearby space of blank wall. Passing her hand over it caused the surface to shimmer, revealing a complex diagram of softly glowing violet runes.
The fingers of both hands moved quickly as she erased, moved, adjusted, and added runes to the magical circle, one of the rings on her fingers - in possession of a slightly-pink moonstone - pulsating with a gentle light as she did so. There was the sound of grinding stone, and the tower trembled momentarily, as she put the last rune into place. Waving her hand across the patch of wall to restore the wall illusion and reactivate the wards that protected it.
Before she could turn back to the father and son team, Gavin completely destabilized her world. She froze, all the air rushing from her lungs in a surprised sound. Struggling to form a coherent thought, she bit her lip, tucking her hands into the sleeves of her robes. Slowly, she turned around, forcing a smile onto her lips.. although the look she gave Edward very clearly said, 'You need to handle this!'

Edward sprayed tea across the room. He had been deliberately avoiding using his time sight, wanting each experience with Gavin to be new, instead of something played out a thousand times. As such his son's suggestion took the normally all knowing Echoes, completely by surprise. His mouth works silently for a moment, as he tries to think of how to respond.
"I uh... Well what? Uhmm... This is what I get, for not using time sight. Gavin I had no intention of marrying Reuna. I mean I did find her attractive, and she is certainly the best friend I will ever have. It simply never occurred to me, to think of her in that way. I mean after everything that happened, I never thought of anyone like that. She has been similarly hurt with the loss of her love. And this whole mess is very confusing now."
Edward rubs the bridge of his nose. The thought of searching for new love, a new life, had never crossed his mind. Now sitting here, once again Edward Laurént, the thought of moving on with his life held appeal. Still Reuna? The notion was ridiculous, she would want no such advances, and though he cherished her deeply, his emotions did not drift that way. Did they?

Gavin's lips curl into a mischievous smile. "Well, if you don't get married it's better, because then she can stay an Auntie. Aunties can't marry daddies." He was completely oblivious to the gravity of is suggestion, and yet still amused at his cleverness in figuring out that last bit. He continued to bounce the ball around like nothing happened.
"When are we gonna play?"

At Edward's reaction, Reuna had to stifle a laugh behind her hand. A laugh that she promptly choked on at hearing that the time magus thought she was attractive. Her back stiffened, and her hand dropped as she turned away, staring blankly out a window. Memories flashed through her mind's eye. Grey skin, crimson hair, jade green eyes, smiling lips and tiny horns, softly spoken words and a gentle caress of the cheek... "You're so beautiful. And you don't even know it, do you? All you see is your scars, and your magic..." Clenching her eyes tightly shut when she heard Echoes' comment about her lost love, Reuna inhaled a sharp breath, then moved quickly out of the room.
"I.. need to go check on the room's development. Please. Make yourselves at home." As she left, a brisk wave of the hand produced several items, including a stuffed dragon, a checkers board with pieces, and a story book. Hurrying up the stairs with her hand over her mouth, as though that would suppress her sorrow, she moved into the slowly-forming space that would house Gavin's room, and sank to the floor.

Edward is not particularly surprise by Reuna's reaction, to his bumbling thought process. He was used to operating with a great deal more certainty, but things were in disarray. Still even without time sight, he knew Reuna well enough. He knew that him even entertaining the thought of romance, would making her uncomfortable. The issue was that now the thought was in his head, it was not leaving.
Edward could think of no better person to be a mother to Gavin, which was both the problem, and the appeal. Was he only thinking about it, because his son needed a mother? Or was his son the impetus, making him examine emotions previously ignored? Either way now was not the time to think, or talk of this. At a later date, he may discuss his this with Reuna. He would also not try and see how that conversation would go. Too tempting to manipulate events, to lead to an outcome that he may only think he wanted. Edward turns his attention to Gavin, smiling at his son.
"We can play now. Shall we play your favorite game?"
Echoes throws his silver spheres into the air, and with a few careful gestures light emits from them. Gavin is covered in blue light, forming a sword and shield that follow his movements. Edward was covered in light as well, making him look like vaguely like a dragon. It was Gavin's favorite game before everything went wrong, knight versus dragon. With a "Rawr" he lunges at his son, looking to pin him down and tickle his sides.

Echoes would be pleasantly surprised to find that Gavin had a natural instinct for the game and began swinging at the dragon's paws. Strangely though it was Gavin who made the rawr rawr noises.
"Rawr rawr!" His tiny sword would manage to bonk Echoes on the head.
After a while, Gavin would say something like, "I wanna be the dragon next! I wanna be... I wanna be big and grey and have a big voice!" Edward might recall this as a vague approximation of the time dragon that helped Gavin in his ghost form.

Edward obliging went down when he was smote. Though when Gavin approached to deliver the finishing blow, he reached out and tickled his sons sides. Much laughter was had, as they play fought until Gavin demanded to be the dragon. That was a first, but given everything it made sense. With an obliging gesture, there costume change, and play resumed. A pure unrelenting joy wells in Echoes's chest. This was more happiness, than he had ever dared to dream he would have again.

With Reuna actively in the forming room, helping it to take shape, the process took less than the five hours it would have prior. It took half the time, instead. Once she was satisfied with the result, she summoned the items she'd left downstairs, assuming they weren't being used, and deposited them in the room. That would be the pair's first clue that she was done. Descending the stairs, she poked her head around the door frame to see what they were doing.

Edward is laying on the floor, snoring lightly. His son is laying on his chest, one of Edwards arms still clutching to the boy protectively.

Reuna Laurént
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 361
Age: 51
Physical Description: Reuna is a striking study in contrasts. She is just slightly above female average, height-wise, standing at 5'8", and is slender, with a fragile bone structure that makes her look weak; this is, of course, balanced out by her strength and skill in magic. Her hair is long, descending to her waist, and is purely black, which is a sharp opposition to her pale-skinned features. Her eyes are the color of amethyst, dark and intense, and are usually the only method from which one can derive her mood, as she very rarely displays her emotions via facial expressions. She appears young, in her mid-thirties, although if one looks closely enough, they can see the beginnings of fine lines around her eyes and mouth. Although few have ever seen them, due to her tendency to keep herself fully covered from neck to toes, she has whip-mark scars covering most of her back, and scars from long periods spent in manacles around both of her wrists, remnants from her days as a slave.
-----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Generally, Reuna wears one of five sets of identical robes, with high collars and long slightly-loose sleeves, in black, dark grey, purple, dark green, and dark blue. Commonly-carried equipment consists of her personal grimoire, a traveling writing kit (with ink well, quills, and writing desk), and a belt with pouches that contain various items (both magical and non); though perhaps not considered equipment, her raven companion Karrik always accompanies her.

Seeing that the two were sound asleep on the floor, something inside her softened, before her heart clenched painfully. A quick whispered spell would have the two carefully transported from the floor, up into the room that was now Gavin's, settled onto the soft feather mattress in the loft area. The room was contained in its own little protruding tower part of the main tower, perfect for a little boy who needed room to grow.
With that done, Reuna withdrew from the room, retreating to the kitchen. Cooking was one of the activities she preferred to do by hand, with only minor magical assistance. Rolling her sleeves up, she cast a glance at the scars around her wrists. She so rarely acknowledged them, these days.. now they seemed to jump out at her. Ignoring them with a sigh, she turned to the hearth, set the logs there ablaze with a flick of the wrist, and set about putting together a meal for herself and her two visitors.
Her movements were methodical as she prepared a beef roast with carrots and potatoes, putting it into a covered pan which she settled on a rack above the roaring fire. A loaf of bread was made and placed into an oven compartment to one side of the hearth. Just for the fun of it, she also made a pie (apple), and put that in the other oven. The sorceress bustled around the kitchen for a time, until everything was complete. Then she cleared off the large table there, sending the various books and potion ingredients to a safer location - namely locked away in her study. Perhaps she should look into creating a proper dining room, if she was going to have guests.. normally she took her meals in her study, or right there with her work.
With everything laid out on the table and kept toasty under a warming charm, Reuna ascended the stairs to Gavin's room, pushing open the door as quietly as possible. Creeping up the ladder to the loft area just enough to peek over the edge, she looked at the sleeping pair with a small smile, and called out softly. "Edward.. dinner is ready." ..That was far too domestic for comfort. Clearing her throat, she went back down the ladder and left the room with rapid steps.

Slowly Gavin stirred awake, just in time to see Reuna beckon them to dinner. He smiled and turned his attention on Edward's face.
"Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy..." He would escalate his efforts by pinching his cheeks if this should fail, while continuing to repeat, "daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy..."
Finally he would say "Let's go eat."

Age: Yesterday.
Physical Description: Edward Laurént stands at 5'10. He has midlength black hair, and a clean shaven face. Previously his facial features were hard to remember, since he has begun wearing glasses they have become easier to recall. He looks to be in his late twenties, with a strong jaw, mid set cheek bones, straight narrow nose, and full lips. He appears to be in decent physical condition, though he is a bit pale.
Edwards eyes are an odd shade of blue, and they quite literally glow. With his glasses on, the glowing is the only remarkable thing about them. When you stare into his eyes when his glasses off though... it can be an odd experience. Staring into his eyes gives the impression that time has ceased to flow. Then you become aware of just how fast you are moving through the void of space. Most students avoid looking into his eyes.

Clothes and Equipment: Previously Edward only owned one suit of clothing. He retains these clothes, as a sort of work uniform. His style of dress when working is odd. He wears: sturdy blue cotton pants, an over sized coat of some unknown material, a sweater with a hood sewn onto it, and a large scarf. Each piece of clothing fluctuates in state of repair, and cleanliness through the day. If these clothes were not so eccentric, he could easily be considered a beggar while wearing them.
Edward has begun to expand his wardrobe in recent months. His first new accessory is a pair of glasses. Unlike other time mages, Edward struggled with turning off his time sight, rather than turning it on. His glasses are enchanted to suppress it. When not working he tends to wear casual clothing. Loose white shirts, and simple leather leggings. He also has a handful of stylish, if simple mage robes for special occasions.

Edward awakes when Gavin gets to the cheek pinching. He blinks blearily at his son, and then crushes the boy to his chest.
"It wasn't a dream."
Tears form at the corner of his eyes. There was still a hole in his heart, he missed his wife and Cara terribly. Still he had Gavin, and he was ready to start living again. He releases his son and gets to his feet.
"Yes let's eat."
With that he heads out of the room with his son, to join Reuna at the table.

When the two entered the room, Reuna looked up and smiled. They were such an adorable pair. She was so happy for them! Maybe having the influence of their joy in her life would make it all a little easier. That was the best she could hope for, really. "Ahh, the two sleepyheads are awake, I see. Do you like your room, Gavin? I realize it's a little boring, at the moment, but we'll acquire some toys and the like for you in time."
Setting out plates for herself and the other two, she began to serve up the food, placing a few potatoes and carrots, a couple of slices of beef, and a large piece of bread, on each plate. Gavin was given a cup full of milk that was charmed not to spill, while Reuna retrieved a glass of white wine for herself. Sipping at the crisp, fruity drink, she eyed the adult member of her companions with an arched brow. "Wine, Edward? Or would you prefer something else?"

"Ooh, you should put some toy dragons, and some board games, and some balls, and books, but books that are easy to read, not like your books or daddy's books. Those books are weird. I want books with pictures. Oh oh and some, and some... drawing stuff, because I wanna draw, and I want you guys to draw with me and, and... dolls..."
When Gavin said dolls his countenance changed, as if he was trying to remember something but couldn't. "I want dolls for some reason, but I don't know why. Dolls are for girls, but I want dolls for some reason."
Cara used to play with dolls.
"... And, and... I want to play with other kids too... I want lots of friends. And I wanna play with a girl, and we can play dolls... together."

Suppressing his time sight was beginning to give Edward a head ache. The nap had certainly helped, but he would need to think of a long term solution. The only one he knew of though, was creating a fourth dimensional space. Those were fine to visit for normal people, and he could live in them. However, prolonged stays in fourth dimensional spaces were hazardous to normal people. Before he could buy a house, he needed to fix this.
"I suppose a glass of wine in celebration, couldn't hurt."
Or it could, it was odd not knowing for certain. When Gavin starts listing the thing he wants, Edward smiles. When Gavin got to dolls though, his heart clenched in pain. Residual memories from a life that never happened. Part of him was glad. His boy wouldn't have to live remembering a sister who never existed, and a mother who wouldn't know him. Still it hurt, another reminder that as much as he now had, he didn't have it all back. Again though he stubbornly put those thoughts aside, it was finally time to move on. He looked at Reuna, and he remembers why he knew they would be friends. He would have to have a talk with her, soon.
"I am sure we can get you lots of toys."
