Reuna Laurént

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.

Pouring Edward a glass of wine, it was offered to him with an arched brow as she listened to Gavin listing all the things he wanted for his room. When he finished, she was trying very hard to stifle a grin, but there was no stopping her laughter. "That's quite the list. I'll see what I can do about that tomorrow. As for playmates, I'll ask around the Academy. Maybe some of the teachers have children of their own you can be friends with."
Sipping again at her wine, she took her seat around the wide circular table, making sure everyone was satisfied with their portions - and that Gavin's food was cut into manageable sized pieces for his little form - before digging in. It had been quite some time since she'd had to cook for more than just herself, but she thought the roast had turned out fairly well. Just slightly crispy on the outsides. She sighed a contented sound, looking at her little family.
That thought brought Reuna's brain to a screeching halt, although her face remained calm as usual, showing no sign of her sudden mental turmoil. Family? Had she really just though of Edward - formerly-but-still Echoes, the time-addled mage - and his motherless son Gavin, as her family? Karrik cawed from his perch on a branch in one corner of the kitchen, as though sensing his mistress' bewilderment, and she eyed him momentarily, before silently going back to her meal.

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 sips his wine, and samples the roast. Both are spectacular. It had been a long time since he had eaten anything but cake, or imbibed anything. It was pleasant, sitting here with Gavin watching Reuna mother him. Again, his thoughts turn to Gavin's earlier comment. He needed to sort out his thoughts on it, then talk to Reuna. Not tonight, likely not until he discovered some way to manage his time sight. He rubs his temple gently.
"This is quite good Reuna, surprisingly I had no idea you could cook."

Gavin ate relatively silently, lost in his own head. He was mostly thinking about what kinds of costumes to give to the dolls, and of dragons. He didn't have sufficient introspection to wonder why he was suddenly feeling lonely. He just wanted something to take his mind off of it. That's when he noticed the raven in the kitchen. "Hey!" He said to the raven. "KAW!" Edward and Reuna might be caught off guard at how realistic Gavin's cry sounded. "KAW!"
Gavin was still a half elf, in case Edward forgot, and half elves had a natural fondness of animals.
"KAW!"

An amused look briefly appeared on her features as she glanced at Edward. "Living on your own rather forces you to learn how to cook. Living with others just forces you to learn how to make it taste good." She'd been a passable cook after her master died, but hadn't learned how to actually make good food until she became involved with Crulamin. As was commonly the case, a pang of sadness hit her at the thought of her-- No. He wasn't her Tiefling anymore. Just.. a Tiefling. One of many. "I'm glad you like it, though."
Gavin's sudden acknowledgement of Karrik surprised her, and she looked up at the raven as he cocked his head, then swooped down from his perch. He landed on Gavin's shoulder, peering curiously into the boy's eyes, then began to carefully groom his hair with his beak. Reuna half-stifled a laugh behind her hand. "I believe you've made a friend, Gavin. This is Karrik, my familiar."

"I can't remember the last time I had anything but cake. I only ever learned how to bake, part of the reason my wif..."
Edward flinches at the memory. She had always teased him about his eating habits. Claiming she would make sure he ate healthy, if he kept her in cake. He turns his attention to Gavin and Karrik, smiling.
"I am sure you couldn't ask for a better friend."
His concentration slips, as he laughs at the display. Possible futures come rushing in, with an effort of will he shoves them aside. He hadn't realized it but during the process, he dropped his knife and fork with a clatter. His hands rubbing furiously at his face and temples.
"Sorry."

Gavin pets the bird as best as he can and gives it a piece of meat. None of these simple actions are as easy as they sound. Gavin is just over three feet tall, meaning Karrik is about half as tall as he is. He may as well be trying to befriend an Andean Condor!
Still, no harm is done. "He's nice!" Gavin looks up at Reuna with a wide grin even as the creature's idle flapping eclipses his entire face.
"He looks worried about something." Gavin says as he struggles to get his little hands to pet the massive bird's head.

Edward speaking of his wife dimmed Reuna's smile, and she watched him carefully. As he dropped his cutlery, she reached over, placing fingertips lightly against his arm. Her voice quiet as she spoke, eyes filled with concern. "Don't apologize.. are you alright?" She glanced toward Gavin as the boy spoke, and Karrik uttered a quiet sound that was somewhere between a chirp and a caw as he accepted the piece of meat, gently pecking at the boy's sleeve.
"He always looks that way. Karrik worries too much. Sometimes I think he believes I'm his chick and that he has to look after me like one." She chuckled at the words, watching as the raven, who was too smart for his own good, hopped down off of Gavin's shoulder, so that the boy could pet him as desired. Reuna glanced toward Edward again, her worried gaze searching his features.

Edward uncovers his face, giving Reuna a wane smile. Still his expression is strained, with effort. When Reuna touches his arm he face relaxes just a bit. He straightens in his chair, and takes a long deep breath.
"I am suppressing my time sight. Unlike most time mages mine is on constantly, and suppressing it is taking an effort of will. It is giving me a headache, and my concentration just slipped. Still it is worth it for the clarity of thought. I want... I need to be present, completely present for him."
He turns his gaze to Gavin, the absolute devotion and love plain in his expression.

Gavin was delighted at being able to successfully pet the raven. "You should look after my dad too. He gets sad sometimes, just like Auntie Reuna. But the future will be better, even if they don't know the future will be better." He then whispered something in Karrik's ear (though it could hardly be called a whisper; it was loud and perfectly audible to the adults). "It's funny how grown-ups think they know everything."
Again, Gavin did not have sufficient introspection to wonder why he said that. Kids are notorious for blurting things out. In this case it was a mix of the instinctive arrogance of a half elf and also the last remains of the evanescent wisdom he had acquired as a temporal ghost. For a brief moment, he really did know the future was going to be alright. For a brief moment he was more than a five year old child.
Gavin looks up at Reuna. "Cake is good can we have cake? Can we have STRAWBERRY CAKE?" And once again he was just a child.

The explanation drew an expression that was combination worry and understanding to her features. She knew how difficult the time sight could be for mages of his ilk, but never before had she seen one struggle as he did. She would have to do some research, see if she could somehow create a charm that would allow him to focus more easily. For the sake of his son, if nothing else. Her features softened with a smile at the gleam of emotions in Edward's eyes. The love of a parent for their child... How pure, and sweet.
Blinking away the moisture in her own gaze, Reuna turned back to her mostly-depleted dinner, and was pondering cutting into the pie when she realized Gavin was saying something. More importantly, what he was saying. And a brow arched. Perhaps it was some lingering effect of his stretch as a time-lost spirit..? Interesting. And then, he was no more than a child again. She chuckled, and stood, reaching for the pie and dish of clotted sweet cream. "No cake this time, strawberry or otherwise, I'm afraid, but definitely next time. For now, we have apple pie and sweet cream. I hope that will do well enough?" She was already cutting pieces and sliding them onto plates, as well as tossing a bit of the pie crust toward Karrik, who happily gobbled it up.

Echoes was practicing a meditative breathing technique. He drew a long slow breath through his right nostril, imagining only his right lung filling, before exhaling. Then he breaths through both nostrils, both lungs fill, exhale. Finally he breaths through his left nostril, imagining just his left lung filling, exhale. Repeat. After a moment of this he has full control again. The future is a mystery, so is the past, there is only the present. A very pleasant present, one he was happy just to experience. He takes his slice of pie, and sweet cream gratefully.
"Yes there will be cake. Given how long I have been eating, it you'd think I get tired of it. I still haven't though, how very odd. Still it is wonderful to eat something else, made better by the company."

"Cake is one of those things that is very hard to grow sick of. Well, unless you eat it until you're actually sick, of course." She paused in the act of serving up another very small piece of pie - presumably for Karrik, but she'd get to that in a moment - to look at Edward. He really did value her company that much? Or perhaps he meant Gavin? Dragging her gaze away from him, she focused on the pie once more, plastering a smile on her lips as she slid the piece onto a plate and pushed it toward the excitedly flapping raven.
"Yes, Gavin, ravens can eat pie. Which is why Karrik is getting his own piece, so don't go sharing any of yours with him, young man." Her playfully chastising tone was warmed by the gleam in violet eyes as she finally secured some pie for herself, adorning it with a generous dollop of cream before she took to her seat again. That first bite was always the best, and her eyes closed as she breathed a quiet, appreciative 'Hmm.' Spicy yet sweet, and just right.

Echoes takes his first bite of pie. Apple wonderfully spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices his tongue couldn't immediately identify. A warm feeling settled in his chest. It was so foreign he almost didn't recognize it, contentment. Sitting here with his son and Reuna, eating pie it felt right he felt happy. A tear wells in his eye, and his say softly.
"Thank you Reuna. I would never have gotten him back, if not for you. Then you welcome us so fully into your home, to give him food and a place to stay... I don't know what I would have done, if not for you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you."

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.

Not expecting the sudden outpouring of emotion and gratitude from Edward, Reuna froze with her fork in her mouth, staring at him. Where had that come from? It honestly choked her up a little. Turning her gaze away, she withdrew the fork and cleared her throat, simply pushing her pie around on the plate for a moment. "..You have no need to thank me, Edward. I just did what felt right." Her appetite was suddenly gone. Pushing away from the table, she stood, and started toward the door with a flick of her fingers, putting into effect a spell that began to store the leftover food and clean up the mess from dinner.
Stopping at the doorway, she forced a bright grin onto her features, hoping they couldn't see how fake it was as she turned to face the two males in her kitchen. "I think I am off to bed. Although, it occurs to me, I heard word of a fair in Travere soon. Perhaps we should all go? It might be fun." Maybe it would be easier for her to ignore this pain in her heart if they were surrounded by music, people, laughter, and fun. "..Well then. Goodnight." Pivoting away, she nearly ran out of the kitchen, and up the stairs to her bedroom.

"Good night Mom-ma-ma MISSES REUNA! GOOD NIGHT AUNTIE REUNA!"
Well that was embarrassing. "Yah let's go to the fair! I wanna go see... fair stuff!" Gavin was doing everything in his power to cover up his error.
"Daddy, can we create pictures with the light thing? Like dragons and stuff?" He was referring to the holographic type images that Edward had created in their dragon vs knight game. He wanted to use it as a way of creating pictures.

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 watches Reuna's reaction to his words, he isn't surprised. He didn't even need to use time sight, he was in trouble. Then Gavin called her momma, well that was brilliant, Reuna was going to be in a right state. Shaking his head in frustration he reigns in his thoughts, and his time sight.
"Well I suppose I could use them to draw. Unfortunately I can't make them work for you. Still I think we can get some paper, and drawing implements, or would you rather I tell you a story? Either way it is getting close to bed time.

There was the sound of stumbling, and a thump as Reuna hit the stairs. Then silence. Then rapid tread of feet literally running up the remaining steps, ending in the open-and-close of her bedroom door. It seemed Reuna had, indeed, heard Gavin's departing comment. Oh dear.

Gavin thought for a moment. He had on his serious thinking face and everything, the one where you stare intently at an invisible spider on the wall. "Mmmmm, let's do bed time story. Read me a bed time story. Or tell it to me. I don't care. Although, well, I like reading too. But I'm also lazy... Wait, what were we talking about? OH! Bed time story. Yah, tell me a bed time story."
As they would go to the bedroom, Gavin would give one last smiling wave towards Karrik.

Edward walks his son into the room Reuna made for him. He hoist his son into the bed, tucking him in. Edward then pulls up a chair, and sits down.
"Hmm I think I know exactly which story to tell you. This is a story of dragons, dragons who exist beyond time. This is also the story of a man, a man who made a mistake."
Echoes clears his throat, and begins.
"All stories have no real beginning, and no real end. Much like a circle they go round, never ending, eventually repeating. Most people aren't aware of this, they hear only part of the tale, see part of the circle, and assume that is the entirety. Some are not content with that, some wish to know the whole thing."
"Many tried to see the whole circle, and some were met with limited success. They saw past the horizon to what lay ahead, or behind. Still not a one saw the whole thing, except for one man. He realized that to see the entirety of the circle, he had to get off the circle, so he did. He was elated, he could see it all, and for a moment he couldn't contain his joy, he shouted his victory to the heavens."
"Then to his surprise a voice said something, a deep growling voice, and it said: I wouldn't be so happy, you can't get back. The man looked for the person who spoke, but there was no one there, there was nothing but the circle. He was worried, and decided to go back to the circle. It was then he found the voice was right, he couldn't return. Another voice sounded: He told you that wouldn't work. Again the man looked around for the speaker, and again he saw nothing. A third voice speaks: He is trying to find us. The second voice: How very mortal of him. The third voice: let us reveal ourselves then brothers."
Echoes pauses and then says to Gavin.
"Do you know what the man saw next?"
