Moonflower Làidir
Main Character
Roleplay posts: 537 
Age: 25
Physical Description: Moonflower is tall and willowy, standing at 5'11"; for all her slimness, she definitely has a woman's figure, with subtle curves that she does her best to hide beneath clothing slightly too large for her. Her hair is white, and falls to her waist, framing a face with a delicate bone structure and fair skin, set with a pair of silver-blue eyes that have a tendency to change intensity of hue to reflect her emotions. She has a few scars scattered all over her body, but the only real visible marks are the scars and callouses on her hands, a product of her work. For all her slight build, she is somewhat strong, likely due to her lupine-shifter nature, and she is flexible, swift, and dexterous.. when she's not dropping things due to being clumsy and awkward.
------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Her usual clothing consists of any mixture of one of her white linen shirts, a vest with two small pockets (one dark blue, one light blue, one light grey); a pair of breeches (one black, one dark grey, one dark blue), and her black knee-high boots. Always around her left wrist is a pewter Dwarven bracelet, and around her right a bear-claw bracelet; on the fourth finger of her left hand, she wears a silver engagement ring with a single oval-shaped moonstone framed by a pair of triquetra. Tools of her trade include whittling knives, and glass- and metal-etching tools.

Moon frowned at his response. It hadn't exactly been unexpected, but that didn't mean it made her happy. Alden had seemed happy with Cynder, and although the feline female had hated her, she'd tried to like her for Alden's sake. Now it seemed the mother of his children had disappeared, leaving him alone. Moon waddled over to where Alden stood, making a mess of slathering frosting on the case, and slid her arms around his waist, thumping her head affectionately against his shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Alden. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

In an attempt to calm her counterpart and prevent her from waking her siblings, Naoki takes one hand up to place it atop her head. From there, she lifts it up slightly, brings it back down gently, and repeats. Pats. Kitties love pats.
Or. Well. Big Naoki likes pats, at least. It would remain to be seen if Little Naoki likes pats.
Still speaking quietly, she responds, “I’m glad you like it. You’ll learn a lot, reading all of those books. … But what happens when you run out, once you’ve read them all?”
Pausing for a moment, Naoki gives her counterpart a moment to contemplate that awful scenario before posing her next question, “Do you know how to write letters?”

Alden Marshal
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,420 
Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

The little girl giggles happily at being patted. The little girl liked affection in any form. Though she quickly picked up Naoki's unspoken intent. Stifling her giggles when Lady Naoki spoke quietly. The first question is mulled over breifly, but Little Naoki responds quickly.
"Get daddy to buy more. Or there is supposed to be a library opening soon."
The little girl was quick on her feet apparently. The next question is answered with a beaming smile and a note of pride.
"Yes. I'm the best at letters, Miss Higgs says I'm very clever and studious. I can even spell studious. Moon Moon, Caleb, and Kae are the worst."
The little girl leans in conspiratorially as though sharing a great secret.
"I think they copy each others work. They always make the same mistakes."
In the kitchen Alden pauses in his work. Sighing and leaning into Moon slightly. Careful no to apply too much weight. He doesn't want to bowl Moon or her precious cargo over after all. He takes comfort in her presence. Happy that there are people who care about him in this world. Even if he could count that number on two hands.
"It's enough to know you care Moon. I still have the kids and you, and even Naoki and Takhana to a lesser extent. People who know me. Care about me. Keep me grounded, stop me from... going back to how I was."

Moon thumped her brow against his shoulder again, then looked up at him with a small smile.
"Doesn't do you much good when I'm living all the way over in Alban, though. But I believe you'll find someone right for you, who will be a good mate." Giving him a final squeeze of affection, she let go and wandered over to the nearby pantry, sifting through it until she found an apple. This she began to munch on, trying to satisfy the hunger she felt.
"I'm surprised to see Naoki here. I never much pegged her as the type to come to a kids birthday party, even yours. Even stranger to see her seemingly genuinely liking spending time with them. Still, it's good. And I'm glad you've got people keeping you from spiraling when I can't be around. But as always, if you ever need me, I'll come. Well. I mean. Once this one's out it'll probably be a little while before I can come by, but after that."

Listening to the child’s answer regarding the books, Naoki nods thoughtfully in response. A fine enough answer, that. However, as the girl continues, Naoki shakes her head, but does not pause in her ear-scratching.
“Not those kinds of letters. I mean letters of the sort that you write to someone and send to them. The ones you put in envelopes and give to a messenger to deliver, and the ones that messengers put in your mailbox. Your box has everything you’ll need to write one; why don’t you get it, and I’ll teach you how.”
Motioning to Little Naoki’s box over near the chest, Lady Naoki pauses the scratching for a moment, and gives the girl a gentle pat on the back to suggest that she get up and bring it over.

Little Naoki's tail stops swishing. Her eyes narrow and focus and their is an eager gleam in them. She wasn't one hundred percent sure what letters were. She was two and it hadn't really come up, but the mention of being taught something had her eager. She scampers off to the box and locates an envelope, some paper, a quill, a pen, and then she scampers out of the room. She returns a minute latter with a child sized writing board. Just a piece of flat wood to use as a writing surface. These deposits in Naoki's lap. Then the little crawls up next to her tail swishing excitedly.
"Teach me!"
Her voice is eager and hungry, her grin excited. Meanwhile in the kitchen Alden give Moon a shrug. He didn't really think he'd find anyone else. The only reason he'd found Cynde was because the woman had practically thrown herself at him. He doubted anyone else would be so bold. At her comments on Naoki he gives a little laugh.
"Yeah, she told me she'd stop by at some point. Took her a while, so it's a bit of a surprise. I think she wanted to avoid changing any diapers."

Moon snorted a laugh around her current mouthful of apple at the thought of Naoki changing a diaper, and quickly swallowed before she could choke on the fruit. Grinning at Alden, her eyes sparkled with amusement.
"That sounds accurate." Taking another bite of her apple, she looked at the now-barren core forlornly, before chucking it into the waste bin. Then she pushed away from her lean against the counter and tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her ear.
"Right then. Now that I'm not starving anymore, anything I can help with?"

Accepting the items from Little Naoki, Naoki places the parchment onto the board and then the board onto Little Naoki’s lap. Likewise, she dips the quill in ink, and hands that to her smaller counterpart, before draping her left arm over Little Naoki’s shoulder and beginning her lesson.
“A letter is a note that you send to someone else that you can’t speak with easily because you’re too far away. Just as an example, let’s write a letter to me, thanking me for the gifts. When beginning a personal letter, one almost always begins with ‘Dear’, and then the person’s name. So start up here- near the top, and write…”
Dear Lady Naoki,
“Then, after leaving a little bit of space here, you can start writing whatever you want for the person to read. So go ahead and write something like…”
Thank you very much for the gifts you gave us. I am looking forward to reading all of the books.
“From there, you can continue and write whatever else you might like to write.” Pausing in her explanation for the moment, Naoki waits for her counterpart to catch up and finish writing whatever else it may be that she would wish to write. After it seems like she’s finished, Naoki continues, “And then when you’re done, leave a little bit more space, and sign it. Depending on who you’re writing to, you could say, ‘Sincerely’ and then your signature, or ‘With Love’ and then your signature, or ‘With gratitude’ and then your signature. There are some other options, too, but those three should be fine for now. Which closing you choose is up to you and should match the context of your letter. For example, if you are writing a formal letter as opposed to a personal one, you might want to pick a more formal closing, like ‘Kindest regards’.”
“Anyway, once you’re done writing, you should wait for the ink to dry, maybe blow on it some, and then fold the letter up like this…” Naoki reaches a hand over and demonstrates how to fold the letter properly, but leaves Little Naoki to do the actual folding. “And then put it in the envelope. Then, if you want the letter to go to the person you want it to, you have to write their name on the front of the envelope, in the center, along with where the person might be found. In this case, since you’re writing to me, you would write ‘Lady Naoki, The Citadel, Isra’.”
“Then, once you’re done and the envelope is sealed, you take it and put it in your mailbox. Every day, a messenger comes to take all of the letters you want to send, and deliver any letters addressed to you. So once you put this in the mailbox, he’ll come, take the letter, and deliver it to my office, where I can open it, read it, and then send you a letter in response, and then he’ll put it in your mailbox."

The little girl listens to the instructions intently. Never asking for anything to be repeated. Just silently listening and nodding. When she's ready she picks up her little writing board and sets to work. She writes slowly and a bit clumsily. But she moves with surprising confidence. Rarely blotting the page with too much ink. Indeed it's rather impressive how well she writes. The little girl tries to hide what she is writing, but it would be easy for Naoki to sneak a peek if she wants. The letter is as follows.
With her letter done Little Naoki blows on it waiting impatiently for it to dry. Once it is she folds the letter just as she was shown. Then she places it in the envelop and addresses it: Big Naoki, The Citadel, Isra. Evidently the little girl had decided on Big Naoki as Lady Naoki's name. Since as she said earlier they couldn't both be Naoki. Over in the kitchen Alden looked at Moon for moment. Then at the disaster that was his kitchen. It doesn't take him long to figure out what he needs Moon to do.
"I'm supposed to make dinner for the kids. But I don't know how to cook. So I'll clean and do you think you can get dinner started?"

"Absolutely. What are we having?" Preparing to dig in and do the cooking requested, Moon rolled up her sleeves. Once she was told what was for dinner (assuming something was planned), she'd gather the necessary implements and food items to put it together. If nothing was specified, she'd just cobble something together. She was good at that.

Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

Exercising patience and respect over curiosity, Big Naoki sits quietly as Little Naoki writes. For only being two years old, and not having quite fully developed fingers, she handles a quill very well, Naoki muses. Honestly, she finds it somewhat unsettling how this child- which (most probably) isn’t even tangentially related to her, has inherited so many characteristics that mimic her own. Watching the tip of the quill dip and swerve with each consecutive letter, Naoki wonders if there may be some sort of magic in place. At one point, in her earlier years of reading and research, she had once read a thesis that presented the theory that names- the concept of names, are intrinsically tied to a school of ancient magic, and went on to postulate that one’s given name has a measureable and significant effect on how the individual in question develops as a person. At the time, Naoki had dismissed it as nonsense, just as had everyone else who had read it. But watching this girl… It leads one to wonder, is all.
Regardless, Little Naoki is soon finished writing and packing her letter, and seems to be pretty damn smug about the accomplishment. Reaching over to provide congratulatory pats, Naoki speaks, “Excellent work. Let’s go find where your dad keeps his sealing wax.”
Sliding down off the loveseat, Naoki bends at the knees just in front of the couch, keeping her feet on the ground but bringing her head- and by extension, her shoulders, down to a level just above the surface of the couch. After moving her hair off to one side, Naoki motions first to the envelope and then to her own shoulders, suggesting that Little Naoki hop up, and bring her letter with.

Alden Marshal
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,420
Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

It was indeed odd that Little Naoki took after her large counter part to such a degree. All Alden had done was named the girl who seemed to have the most intelligent eyes after Naoki. But the degree she took after her namesake, despite having barely interacted with said name sake was startling. But such are the oddities of life. Still Little Naoki was pretty darn cute despite being scary smart. She clambered onto Big Naoki's shoulders eagerly. She wasn't sure where daddy kept his sealing wax. But she had to guess it was in his study. Which was upstairs. The little girl advised Naoki of this. So exited about this development that she neglects to nibble Naoki's ears.
In the kitchen Alden gets to work cleaning up. He is better at this than he had been at cooking. Keeping things clean had been a duty of his when he was an assassin. You needed clean work surfaces to when mixing poisons and maintaining gear. Tonight's dinner was too be a couple of roasted chickens, roasted potatoes and other vegetables, and a garden salad. Selected because it was relatively simple to make. Once the kitchen was clean Alden helped out as best he could with the prep work. He was very good at chopping vegetables, but not much else.

Age: 25
Physical Description: Moonflower is tall and willowy, standing at 5'11"; for all her slimness, she definitely has a woman's figure, with subtle curves that she does her best to hide beneath clothing slightly too large for her. Her hair is white, and falls to her waist, framing a face with a delicate bone structure and fair skin, set with a pair of silver-blue eyes that have a tendency to change intensity of hue to reflect her emotions. She has a few scars scattered all over her body, but the only real visible marks are the scars and callouses on her hands, a product of her work. For all her slight build, she is somewhat strong, likely due to her lupine-shifter nature, and she is flexible, swift, and dexterous.. when she's not dropping things due to being clumsy and awkward.
------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Her usual clothing consists of any mixture of one of her white linen shirts, a vest with two small pockets (one dark blue, one light blue, one light grey); a pair of breeches (one black, one dark grey, one dark blue), and her black knee-high boots. Always around her left wrist is a pewter Dwarven bracelet, and around her right a bear-claw bracelet; on the fourth finger of her left hand, she wears a silver engagement ring with a single oval-shaped moonstone framed by a pair of triquetra. Tools of her trade include whittling knives, and glass- and metal-etching tools.

Moon worked quickly and efficiently, humming slightly off-key under her breath as she bustled about, washing and cutting vegetables and putting them in pans. Then the chickens were slathered with herbs and put on top of the vegetables, before both pans were hefted into the oven to roast. Then she began to wash the ingredients for the salad, and cut them up. She worked with an ease that bespoke practice and enjoyment, and even though her feet hurt and her back ached, she was happy to be helping her brother, to be spending time with her nieces and nephews, and there was a contented smile on her face.

Grasping Little Naoki’s feet with her hands to keep her steady, Naoki carefully rises from her crouching position all the way up to stand at her full height. After pausing for a moment to ensure that her rider is balanced properly and casting an eye at the other children to make sure they’re not doing anything obviously troublesome, Naoki sets off not for the stairs, but rather the kitchen, figuring it would be rude to go rummaging about in Alden’s study without asking, even if the sealing wax is up there.
As she steps into the kitchen’s doorway, Naoki reaches one hand over to knock twice on the wall, alerting the occupants of her presence. Not because she doubts that either of them wouldn’t hear her coming, but rather as a courtesy, figuring it good to maintain good habits in the presence of one so impressionable.
After taking a moment to observe the happenings and to catch Alden's attention, Naoki speaks, “Pardon me, Alden. We Naokies are in need of some sealing wax. Would you happen to have some we could use?”

Alden set the table once dinner was in the oven. He goes over and squeezes Moon's shoulder. Expressing his thanks without words. He is about to go check on the kids when Naoki enters the room. This is a little concerning since it means the rest of the kids are now unsupervised. Still it couldn't have been for very long.
"Of course. There is some in my study on the desk. Help yourself Naokis. I need to go check on the other kids."
Little Naoki beams at being told she had been right. Eager and ready to seal the letter. Alden leaves Moon to finish dinner as he goes back to the sitting room. Rawr Rawr and Juney are still sleeping on the chair, Kae and Caleb are wrestling. But Moon Moon is nowhere to be seen.
"Where's your sister?"
Alden says to the two wrestling boys.
"Huh, I dunno."
Comes the response. Meanwhile Moon Moon sneaks in the kitchen. Intent on trying the cake.

Moon shot Alden a smile when he squeezed her shoulder, then turned back to washing and slicing salad components. She glanced toward Naoki when she appeared with her namesake on her shoulders, and chuckled, then looked back to what she was doing. Her ears were tuned toward the ovens, listening to the sounds of the roasting chicken and vegetables, but she smelled cat and heard little footsteps which alerted her to the arrival of her own namesake. Leaning to the side, she peered around the counter at Moon Moon and arched a brow, seeing her reaching for the cake.
"What do you think you're up to, you little troublemaker?" Her tone was stern, but in a gently teasing sort of way.

“Excellent, so noted. We’ll be back shortly.” With that, Naoki sets off for the stairs, utilising her tail to maintain balance as she ascends to the upper floor. After soliciting her rider for directions, Naoki tries the door to Alden’s study and finds it unlocked. Careful not to bump Little Naoki’s head on the doorframe, Naoki proceeds inside and casts an eye about. All in all, Alden’s study seems to be about as one might expect it to be. It features a desk, a table, a few chairs… aha. The sealing wax, there; on the desk in a tin. Reaching her hands up to grasp her counterpart under the shoulders, Naoki lifts her up, over her own head, and plops her down into the chair just before Alden’s desk. “Put the envelope here, face down.” With one hand, Naoki gestures to the desk’s surface. With the other, she reaches over to the tin, removes the lid, and mercifully enough, finds it to be filled with beads, as opposed to sticks. “Now, this, the process of sealing an envelope with wax, is a bit dangerous; you could singe your little fingers. So allow me to show you how this time, and get your father’s help next time.” After Little Naoki has done as instructed, Naoki turns her attention to the candle on Alden’s desk. It is unlit, as it should be, considering fire safety. To remedy this, Naoki reaches into the pouch on her hip and extracts a small, brilliantly cut orange gemstone about the size of her thumbnail. Holding it carefully, she raises it to the unlit candle and activates it, causing a small spurt of magical flame to erupt, lighting the candle and singing her fingers slightly in the process. Though Naoki is careful not to curse aloud, she spends a moment shaking her burned fingers before she slides the gem back into her pouch. Taking the wax spoon in hand, Naoki scoops up a few beads and holds the spoon so Little Naoki can see. “These little beads are made out of wax. Wax melts easily, hardens quickly, but otherwise isn’t too terribly malleable. That’s why we use it to seal letters, because if someone opens the seal, they can’t close it and make it seem like it was unopened. So what we do is hold the wax over a flame, like this…” Naoki moves the spoon to hold it just above the candle. “... and the wax starts to melt. Don’t get too close.” As they watch the wax melt, Naoki allows a few moments to pass in silence before piping up again, “And then, after a short little while, we dump it like this...” Swinging the spoon over, Naoki drops the now-melty pile of wax beads onto the backside of the envelope, in the correct position to be sealed. Setting the spoon off to one side, Naoki takes Alden’s sealing coin and places it atop the wax in the proper position. After that, she moves swiftly to stand behind her counterpart, reaching her arms around, and places one hand on top of the other, and the both of them atop the sealing coin. “Now, quickly, put your hands on top of mine and push!” After the stamp is pressed, Naoki would remove her hands, allowing her counterpart to survey their handiwork. |

Moon Moon looked up at her aunt. She looked exactly like any child caught in a crime would. Which is too say guilty and hiding it badly. She slips her hands away from the cake and hides them behind her back. She looks up at her larger counter part with wide eyes.
"Nothing auntie Moon. I was just looking for daddy."
The girl lies badly hesitating and looking around nervously. There is also a strong look of guilt on her face. She clearly doesn't like lying, but just as clearly doesn't want to be in trouble.
In Alden's study Little Naoki nods dutifully as Naoki speaks. Then immediately forgets everything in favor of gasping in delight. She loved magic. She eagerly tries to snatch the gem from her larger counter part. Though when the mention of learning something is made the girl calms. She watches with her tail swishing back and forth excitedly as Naoki explains how the wax works. Her bright inquisitive eyes memorizing every detail. Her little hands add little strength, but she eagerly helps press down. Then she holds up the letter grinning in triumph.
"Now we put it in the box right?"
She looks eager enough to run out and do it right there and then.

"Uh huh. Of course you were. He just went into the living room to check on you and the others. I'm all done in here, what do you say we go get him?" She waddled over and scooped up the wayward youngster, propping her on her hip while she carted Moon Moon into the living room. Moon then grinned at Alden and quirked a brow.
"Looking for this?" One hand gently tickled at little Moon's side as she chuckled.

The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

“Oi,” Naoki cuts in as her counterpart attempts to snatch the gem. “You just saw me burn myself with this. Not even a full ten seconds ago! It’s still hot; you shouldn’t try to grab it. Not to mention that it’s mine and if you’d like me to teach you how it works, you probably shouldn’t steal it.”
The unspoken implication goes that Naoki would indeed be willing to show her how it works.
After the seal is stamped with Little Naoki’s assistance, the letter now bearing the official seal of the Sun Marshals, Naoki responds to the inquiry, “Mhm, yes; excellent work. Go ahead, I’ll be right behind you.”
With this, she offers Little Naoki a pat on the back to get her going.
