Under the Burning Rose

[David Augustine]

"That confirms what I thought." David replied. He hopped off of the tomb as well. He walked quietly and quickly following Raven. He stopped behind her and watched her for a few moments. She was studying the gravestones of his family. "Do you find something of interest?" he asked her.

[raven]

"I normally do not read these things." She glanced behind him, usually she never let a stranger get close enough for her to see the whites of her eyes. She stayed where she was and turned her head back to the tomb stones, it was probably dawned on David that she looked quite young still...

[David Augustine]

David didn't pay that much mind of how old she looked, but she looked almost too young to be exactly on her own. "How old are you?" he asked her, "I was just thinking about that. You look to be young. Almost as if you were in your early teens." He wondered for a moment. He could feel that she didn't normally allow others this close to her, but for some reason she let him come this close.

[raven]

"19." She had been on her own since she was 16, at least traveling the lands by herself since then. She was 14 when the darkness attached itself to her and 15 when it became apart of her and 16 when she started learning her mage powers. She licked her lips and traced the letters on the tomb with her fingers, it was almost like she was getting information from the graves themselves.

[David Augustine]

"You're only a year younger than I." David replied. It was about the age of 5 when his father disappeared. It was a year later that he started his training towards a paladin. When he was 10 he started reading and studying the Bible. It was the age of 16 that he found out that he was best suited for being a dragoon that was also when he started his travels. "Do they speak to you?" he asked her refering to dead of the graves she traced.

[raven]

"Only in whimpers." She closed her eyes, trying to hear just what they had to say, but it was difficult when they all starting whispering at once or were whispering so low it wasn't understandable. She had a great deal of power, she just needed to learn how to control it...and how to draw from it...it was there but just not quite in hre reach as of yet.

[David Augustine]

"That's a unique ability." David replied to her, "Do you plan on taking the course of a necromancer?" His question was reasonable. Since most necromancers started out with simply only being able to hear the dead and some even able to see ghosts. He dawned on him if she had a place to stay. He wasn't sure of asking her at this moment.

[raven]

"For now I will be a Mage, maybe later something more." She smirked softly and stood suddendly, she was rather tall for a girl her age, she looked quite fragile, like glass...but that was misleading. She glanced up at the moon, it got her eyes and made them give off a dimonds glow.

[David Augustine]

"Do you have a place to stay?" David asked her. He noticed how tall she was. Almost as tall as him, about a head's difference. He stood at around 7 ft. He looked up as well toward the moon. It was full tonite and gave the maximum of light that it could. David thought about where he used to live. He used to hear the wolves and the 'lycans' that his mother told him about crying out to it.

[raven]

"I stay in my carrage for the most part." She turned and faced him, looking up at him, leaning against the tombs, there was something oddly beautiful and allurring about her under the moons light...almost as if she her self were a forbidden fruit.

[David Augustine]

David nodded and stood next to her. "Well, if you didn't have a place to stay." he replied, "You could stay at my place. There are plenty of rooms there and I'm sure that one could be found to your liking." He wasn't going to lie to himself. She was beautiful and the moonlight only exposed that beauty even more. But as he knew, she had darkness within her.

[raven]

"Mmm, well how can I deny such an offer as that?" She smirked up at him, no one had ever gave her such an offer like that...specially when they weren't seeking anything in return. She slid her fingers through her hair, a hot bath was starting to sound like a good idea.

[David Augustine]

"You can stay there as long as you want as well." David told her, "I just ask not to abuse the servants or steal anything." He looked down at her and watched as she played with her hair. Was she seducing him? He looked away and downward. He found that gravestones suddenly were very interesting.

[raven]

She smirked softly, "Seeing is how I have enough wealth to sate me and keep me living the way I please, I see no need to stoop to such low life theifery, I still have my honor after all...As for the servants...Mmm fine." She watched him, twirling her hair around her finger, sliding her tongue over her lower lip, "Mmm shall we?"

[David Augustine]

"Alright." David replied. He watched her continue playing with her hair and slid her tongue over her lip. He caught her dark eyes. Yes, they showed the hint of darkness that was in her, but still retained their beauty. He walked to the cemetary gates and waited for her to pass.
