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.

With the water added, she set to light the wood under the cauldron, and began stirring, adding this and that from various jars and boxes as she went. Perhaps it was rude, but working was the only way Reuna could distract herself from the utter awkwardness of this situation and not deteriorate into a fidgeting mess. When he spoke of her not knowing much about him, she paused, and blinked, looking over at him. It was true, she didn't know much.. she knew about his once-wife, his children, his abilities, that he'd erased himself from time.. and that he loved cake.
Many of the things she didn't know about him, he also didn't know about her: Her favorite color, her favorite food, what she liked to read, what her favorite time of year was.. the little things. A small smile appeared on her lips as she turned back to her potion. "My favorite color is violet. I prefer autumn, but spring is also nice. I love apples above all else. And I secretly adore those silly little adventure-romance novels no one ever admits to reading." As that smile widened, her eyes glanced back to him, sparkling with mirth. "Your turn."

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.

"Oh...uhmm..."
That hadn't been what he meant. Still he supposed it was a fair enough game. He watches Reuna work and decides to join in. He sets about setting the table, and scrubbing the dishes and utensils she is done with. It helps settle his nerves somewhat. Perhaps that is why she was doing it.
"Well let's see... My favorite color? I suppose blue would be my choice. It just never occurs to me to use any other. Spring is my favorite season, I appreciate the symbolism of the shift to new life. I am irrationally fond of cake, as you know. Though I actually have a fondness for a hearty stew. Guilty pleasure..."
Edward pauses and his cheeks flush a bit red. He had never told anyone this, it was far too embarrassing.
"I use time magic to meet historical figures I admire. I once presented a copy of a manuscript I wrote, to Fredrick Vestini the writer. It was before he was famous, and I asked him to read it. He didn't like it."
Edward pauses in thought well scrubbing a dish, what other facts can he throw out there.
"I've always secretly wanted to be a pirate, and I actually use time sight to find buried treasure. I am irrationally afraid of lobsters, they disturb me. And I once went to a childrens park, opened up a rift in space at the bottom of the slide, and put the exit at the top. I went for a 20 minute slide, and rubbed my erm... bottom raw. It was entirely worth it."

Filing that information away, Reuna couldn't help but chuckle. So he liked blue. She was surprised she hadn't figured that one out before. Setting the metal stirring rod into motion, she cast a spell to keep it going and lowered the flame beneath the cauldron just slightly, then moved to extract some leeches from a jar and a drawer from a knife, before she began chopping them precisely. That was an irresponsible, but amusing, use of his time magics. She had to stop slicing when he spoke of wanting to be a pirate, being afraid of lobsters, and his.. misadventure with the slide, because she started laughing. She didn't stop quickly enough to keep from cutting her thumb, though, but she was still laughing even as she jerked her hand back and went in search of a rag to stop the bleeding.
"Oh, my goodness, I don't mean to laugh, but that is just too funny to me." She wasn't speaking about one thing in particular, but rather the whole series of confessions. Cradling her bleeding hand against her chest, she muttered to herself as she searched - in vain, apparently - for a handkerchief, or a rag, or anything. She could've sworn she kept some in the drawers near her ingredients... "Let's see... I'm terrified of monkeys; their bizarre little human hands disturb me. When I was a girl, I wanted to be a great performer, and sing for kings. And, when I was first learning magic, I turned my hair pink for a month."
Finally finding a handkerchief, she struggled to wrap it around her bloodied thumb as she tried to think. "I love the smell of leather.. it always reminds me of books. I didn't even know how to read, until my master found me, but once I learned, I was voracious; I even read all of the erotic novels he had stashed under his bed, one day, much to my embarrassment and his horror." Oh, no, that was straying into unsafe territory. Reuna cleared her throat, and tried another tactic. "I assume you've gone all sorts of interesting places with your abilities.. what's your favorite locale you've visited?"

Edward watches Reuna concerned after she cuts herself. He joins in on the search for a rag, though she finds one before he does. He wishes there was something he could do to heal the cut. Unfortunately time magic can do much, but healing with it was more trouble than it was worth. He could rewind time on her body, set her back to before the cut happened. In doing so however he would also rewind her mind. Far too risky, and pointless. Best to let it heal naturally. He returns to his busy work as he thinks on her question.
"That is very difficult to say. When one can travel freely through space and time, they see very much. I have seen breath takingly beautiful cities, made of living crystal in every colour of the rainbow. I have seen pristine valleys, full of lush flowers, and waterfalls, before man ever had the chance to soil them. I have seen a herd of unicorn's ride across the ocean, on their way to a city of light. After seeing all of that, if you pressed me to choose. I would say my current favorite locale is... this tower."

It took a little doing - namely gripping one end of the handkerchief in her teeth - to get it securely wrapped and knotted, but by the time she got it done, Edward was speaking again. Taking a seat on a chair, she clasped her hands in her lap and looked at him, wide-eyed with wonder, as he described the things he'd seen. What wonders.. crystal cities, nature untouched by man, unicorns and cities of light... But it was his confession that her tower was his favorite place that made her heart spin in her chest, then begin to thump madly. After a few moment's consideration, Reuna stood from her seat and moved over to him, placing a hand on his arm to stop his busy work.
As soon as he turned to face her, she took advantage of the moment to step closer, into the circle of his arms. Her hands came to rest on his chest, and she looked up at him with a small smile. "And may I ask why this tower is your favorite place?" Her voice was a touch breathless; why did she want him to say that it was due in large part to her, and not just the boy asleep upstairs? She also rather wanted him to put his arms around her, which was surprising to her.

Edward had been very pointedly focusing, on his busy work as he spoke. So it was a bit of a surprise, when Reuna stopped him. It was odd, how many times someone could be surprised, during the course of a single day. He stops what he is doing to face her. Then she steps in placing her hand on his chest, forcing the breath to catch in his throat.
"Oh, uh, well... That is a complicated answer. I remember those places, but I only remember what they looked like. I don't remember how they made me feel, I don't associate anything with them beyond the images. It is hard to explain. I haven't felt terribly human for a long time. A big part of feeling human, I think, is making a real connection with someone. When I wanted to get to know someone, I would just watch the futures. I would experience the width and breadth, of the possible relationship without ever entering the reality, where it truly happened. You were the first person, in a very long time, where I didn't feel like that was enough. I felt like you needed my friendship, as much as I needed yours."
Edward suddenly overwhelmed, with emotion hugs Reuna. It is not an insistent hug, he does not try to pull her into a tight embrace. He isn't trying to sweep her off her feet. It is a hug that could be said to express a sentiment, a willingness to give freely of oneself.
"This tower is the first place in a long time, where I built memories. Real memories, not just phantoms of futures that never passed. It is where I first saw you smile at a time blossom. It is where I told you of my pain, and you provided me what comfort you could. It is the first place I thought to bring my son, when I got him back. Like I said it is hard to describe. I suppose the best I can offer is this: Your tower is my favorite locale, because I know it is where I can find you."
Edward blushes furiously, why did telling the truth have to feel so embarrassing? It didn't seem fair to him. One should be able to express what they felt, without feeling awkward.

That lengthy explanation had been unforeseen. It made her eyes widen, whereas the hug (also unanticipated) made her blush. She had been expecting a simple, 'Because my son is here', or maybe, 'Because you're here.' But to hear that it was such a deeper reason, the formation of true memories, the first in so long, and perhaps a sense of safety.. where he saw her smile, where she comforted him, where he brought his son... It touched her heart, which rustled and dragged a few more of its fallen pieces back into the whole. Her arms came around his neck, reciprocating the hug, and then her head tilted, lips brushing a kiss against his cheek.
"That is quite possibly the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me." She laid her head on his shoulder, face tucked against his neck, and simply enjoyed being within his embrace for a few moments. "I'm glad that you feel safe and happy here. I've lived alone for so long, I forgot what it's like to have other people around. But I'm so pleased to have both you and Gavin here.. you make this place from a simple dwelling, into a home. I didn't realize I needed such a thing until.. that night." The night he had cried, and confessed his sin of mucking around with his own timeline, was the one she referred to.

Edward stiffens for just a moment, when she returns the embrace and pecks him on the cheek. Still it isn't long before he loosens up. He tightens his embrace just a bit, enjoying the feeling of having her so close. He is glad that she found his words pleasant, he was worried they might be unwelcome. He thinks on what she has said. He believes he knows too which night she refers, a night that had been very hard on both of them.
"When I look back, I think that was the night I..."
He trails off not wanting to finish that thought. It might make her uncomfortable.

She froze when he tensed up, worried that he might push her away, but relaxed when he did. It was so nice, to be held like this. She'd forgotten how wonderful it was to feel wanted, cared for.. loved... Her eyes, which had slid shut at some point during the embrace, fluttered open as he spoke, only to let his words trail off. Sighing, she stayed just as she was, reveling in the comfort of his embrace as she spoke. "You don't have to be afraid to say it, Edward, just because I don't feel the same. I'm not going to run like a frightened rabbit."
Finally, she raised her head, looking up at him with a small smile. "I believe that I would like to feel the way you do, in time. I suppose I am just.. frightened. Crulamin was consistently in and out of my life, and he.. abandoned me. Just as my master did, and my parents did." Her expression sobered slightly, eyes glittering. "..Everyone I have ever loved has.. left me. I think I would die if I loved you and lost you, too." Perhaps it was a silly line of thought, but it was what it was.. the heart was not always logical.

Edward looks at her face. She isn't much shorter than he is, so their noses almost touch when he does so. He sees the fear there, and the worry, and beneath it all the hope. He has to get up on his toes a bit, but he very gently lays a kiss on her brow. He murmurs very softly, lips less than an inch from her skin.
"Reuna, I am a time mage. I could make you promises about the future, but I won't. I could explain why your fears are not warranted, but I wont. I will only tell you what is in my heart. That night, was the night I think my emotions turned to something stronger. The night my heart decided on love, even if I did not realize it at the time. I could promise that these feeling will last for an eternity, but I won't. What I will promise, is to love you with all my heart, for as long as I am able. To stay with you for as long as I am able. And should circumstances change, the one thing my power lets me promise you as this: I will tell you, I will not simply walk away, I will not leave you alone with no explanation. I tore apart reality itself, to see my son again. I will do the same to ensure I do not hurt you, that I do not leave you with nothing."
Timidly, tenderly, cautiously he kisses her lightly on the lips.
"In the spirit of fairness and trade, I have a question of my own. Reuna, may I take you out for an evening? Just the two of us?"

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.

Those amethyst eyes closed when his lips pressed to her brow, and she found herself smiling. It was such a sweet, simple gesture, and it warmed her heart. When he began to speak, her eyes slid open, just slightly, enough to let her peer at him from behind the fringe of black lashes. Her heart swelled with every word he said, and she felt more pieces slotting back into place. When he moved, she blinked up at him, only to be taken by surprise as she received one of the sweetest, most adorably hesitant kisses of her life.
She was so moved by this kiss, as light and fleeting as it was, that it took her several moments to form a response to Edward's question. When she did, it was with a small, but undeniably bright, smile, and a voice filled with contentment. "I would love that, Edward." Although that did present the problem of who would watch Gavin for a night, but she was far too immersed in warm, fuzzy feelings to think terribly hard about anything, at the moment.

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.

Pure joy wells into his being at her response. Different from when he got his son back, but no less powerful. It was a wonderful thing to be alive, to be alive and to love. He pulls her in tight, and holds her for a long time. Enjoying the warmth caused by the spark he has set. It isn't a fire, not yet, but he will do his best to nurture it, and in time who knows? He doesn't know how long he just holds her, but eventually a thought enters his head. He begins to chuckle.
"Where am I going to find a baby sitter?"

Being pulled closer, Reuna uttered a quiet, thoroughly contented little noise, nuzzling her face into Edward's neck. When he had spoken to her earlier, she had been troubled, worried that any affection between them beyond that of friends would feel awkward and forced. But it just felt.. natural, to be standing there in her arms. She was so utterly comfortable, wrapped in a bubble of warmth and safety, that it startled her when he began to chuckle. Drawing back to look up at him, she was met with a question that probably should have occurred to her.. and make the sorceress laugh softly.
"Well, there is a very responsible seeming young man who recently started working in the Library.. Roy Fletcher. Perhaps we could entrust him with watching Gavin for an evening. He seems like a very nice, polite boy." She wouldn't mention the vampire thing. She doubted it would even factor in. Tilting her head, she gave Edward a smile. "I'll speak to him about it tomorrow, if you have no objections. When would you like to have this evening out?"

Gavin had awoken from his nap and, very, very quietly, tip-toed his way towards the not-a-couple-but-slowly-becoming-a-couple couple. His half elven instincts were once again kicking in; he knew precisely how to plant his little feet and what posture to make to minimize noise.
Having successfully made it into the kitchen, he tried to think what would be the funniest possible thing he could do. Finally deciding, he tip-toed further into the room and stood several meters behind Reuna and Edward. Then he stuck his tongue out and crossed his eyes while staring at their shoes, his arms folded in a serious manner in order to contrast with his ridiculous face.
Then he waited.

Edward eventually looks up and spots Gavin. He is taken by surprise and he starts to laugh. It is a low rich belly laugh, that sends shakes through his whole body. Slowly he releases Reuna, and he walks over to his son. The time mage darts in and start mercilessly tickling the boys sides. Still laughing he declares.
"What are you doing you little monster! Sneaking up on us like that."

Edward's sudden laughter startled her, and her head whipped around to let her look at Gavin, wide-eyed. Caught in the act! At least he hadn't seen them kissing. When Edward went to tickle the boy, she cleared her throat and, doing her best to ignore the flush in her cheeks, returned to cutting her leeches with brisk, methodical movements. Once they were sliced to her satisfaction, she dumped them into the potion, removed the stirring spell, and devoted her attention to the cauldron's contents. Edward hadn't answered her question, but that was fine. It's not like he was talking about going on their date tomorrow. ..Right?

Gavin surrendered to the onslaught of tickles, laughing exuberantly after his nap.
After he had a chance to catch his breath, he walked up to Reuna. "I wanna help cook too!"

Edwards watches as his son moves up to badger Reuna. He was quite certain his son would go about any task given, with enthusiasm if not skill. With his son otherwise distracted, he begins to ponder the question Reuna asked him. When, where, and what would they do? Well he could answer when easily enough. Where, and what though that would talk time, something he could create as much of as he wanted.
"I know Roy, a very polite young man. Offered to cure his vampirism, he hasn't taken me up on it yet. Still I think he can perform the task, since honestly I'd be more worried about him than Gavin."
Edward chuckles at the little joke, knowing his son Roy would have quite the time.
"In regards to when... how about in three days time?"

Looking down at Gavin as he approached, Reuna smiled. A few slight gestures of her fingers turned a nearby empty crate awaiting disposal into a step stool just the right height for Gavin to ascend and see what she was doing, although if he tried to touch the cauldron, he'd discover a ward preventing his doing just that. "Well, little prince, I'm not cooking, but you can certainly help me make this potion."
Handing him the stirring rod, she showed him how to stir properly, then left him to do it while she collected more ingredients. "What I'm making is a potion to help replenish blood when someone is badly injured and loses too much. You see how it's grey right now? That means it's not ready. We have to add some more things to make it just right. When it's done, it'll turn a beautiful light blue." Tossing some ground valerian root and a few rosehip petals in, she watched as the color began to gradually shift from grey toward silver.
While keeping one eye on Gavin's stirring, she glanced briefly toward Edward, and nodded, a happy smile appearing on her face. "I'll certainly speak with him tomorrow, then. Three days sounds wonderful." Then her attention was back on making sure Gavin was still stirring, watching the color continue to lighten slowly.

Gavin patiently stirred the potion, making sure not to drop it or stir it too fast or too slow. "Huh... this is kinda fun." He said as he watched the color change.
"Reu, daddy, can you guys, like, teach me stuff? Like how to cook and make potions and do time stuff? OH and I wanna learn how to shoot a bow and arrow... I want more friends." He said this last bit contemplatively, but never stopped stirring the potion.
