Home sweet home ( Closed unless invited)

[dantieduurden]

Darek listened to all Zelena said and as she walked away Darek said " Thank you Zelena for understanding." And with that he heard her reply your welcome and then the waterfall fall down behind her, a small smile spreading across his lips as he thought of how beautiful that waterfall was and of all the hours he had spent just staring at it every day. Like many things in Zelena's house it seemed to have a magic of it's own as well as a life and a history behind it.

Slowly Darek laid his weapons out on the kitchen table and began to wounder which ones would be best to bring. " This hard. I like all." Darek said as he ran his fingers down the sharp edge of his two tofa blades before moving onto his handgun which he took the clips out and made sure all the bullets were loaded. Once he saw that it was he put the cartridges back in and cocked them back. They would defiantly be coming.

While this was going on at Zelena's home, Elizabeth was running around like a mad women. " I'm going to meet Zelena, who the hell is Talon anyway? To be with Zelena in anything meant he was someone important. But what would someone important be doing living in the slums?" O well she thought as she went to the living room and waited for Talon, or Zelena to call her back.

Darek began to pace the room as he waited for Zelena to come out of her room. After ten minutes went by Darek called out to her Zelena, in a cautious voice, making sure she was ok and no one had somehow gotten into her room for the small amount of time she was out of it.

[Zelena]

She had just walked into the sunlit room that she called her own. The silk sheets were still a mess but room service would come by later to clean it up later. Sometimes she would find the need to make her own bed but others she didn’t want to even bother with it, today she was feeling a bit indecisive about what she wanted to do. She pouted at herself and sighed… she didn’t want to deal with her own indecisiveness.


“Damn it Zel…”, she whispered to herself as she turned away from the bed and to the wall that hid her closet.
She pressed one of her tan hands against the wall as the computer that was programmed into the fancy system recognized its owner’s hand. With a quick click the wall broke down, lowering itself so that the whole wall was gone, allowing the water elemental to gaze at her collection of clothes, and it was too much, even for her. But it is what her cover required of her… she didn’t want to make herself stand out too much from most celebs, it would draw even more attention to her.

Another sigh escaped her plump lips as her thoughts continued to think about her life, situation, status, and all that bothersome crud. She couldn’t say that she disliked her lifestyle but at times it was too much for her or was just a pain in the a**. It restricted her own time to lead her people; time for missions; investigating the Agency; solving issues of the public; and all the other things in her long list of Things to Do.

She took a bright cyan dress from the hanger and walked to her chaotic bed with it in her hands. The back was criss-crossed around the upper and lower back, the straps were covered in beautiful beading and the end of the dress trailed down much like a waterfall. The front was also beaded in the front in a expected way around her the upper part of her body. It was a body fitting dress that had a simple flow to it and she figured that she would wear it tonight for dinner.

She left it lying out on her bed as she went to grab her regular skirt and top. After a few more moments she was dressed properly and was beginning to walk towards the entrance and exit of her room. When she picked up Darek’s voice calling out her name. She sighed as she parted the waterfall once again to exit out of her room, “Darek I am fine. Just putting on proper attire to go shopping in, we are going to purchase a tux for you today”, she tilted her head as she continued to walk towards the table where her purse was laying neglected, “Seeing that I don’t remember getting one for you yet. I didn’t think you would be so eager to go dinning with me so soon.”

She smirked at her own comment since she was amusing herself. A soft chuckle was released as she successfully retrieved her purse. She didn’t even wait for Darek to answer as she opened and walked out the door to her suite, he would follow no doubt. He was probably getting slightly irritated with her but at the moment she was enjoying the small amount of fun she could draw out from today. It was nice to feel… slightly normal, another chuckle escaped, as normal as she could get.

[dantieduurden]

Darek followed as Zelena walked straight out the door to her suite. There was defiantly something wrong with her today Darek could tell, but he didn't know if it was his place to ask. Going against better judgment he shut the door and locked it before walking up besides her and asking in his most sensitive voice " Is there something wrong my Ace? You seem very...sad...or at least I think the emotion is sad." Darek said as he walked one step behind her at all times on her right hand side. Darek payed close attention to Zelena's body language trying to get any clue to what she was thinking, but even he could not take down the walls of ice she always kept around herself. He understood why she did it, but not why she did it to him. " Thank you for your patience with me, it will be very...unusual wearing a tux." Darek finished with a small smile on his face as he thought about a penguin. " So when will we be sending the limo for Elizabeth, and what else do we have to do?" Darek asked as they got to the elevator and he waited for it to arrive.

[Zelena]

A whisper," Is there something wrong my Ace? You seem very...sad...or at least I think the emotion is sad”, spoken by Darek as he maintained his one step distance from her. She noticed that he always went to the right of her, she knew that there must be some meaning behind his behavior. Although she hoped that some assassin or agent wouldn’t take notice of the habit; It may be prove to a problem if they did.

She then shook her head. “No, Darek nothing is wrong with me. I am just having a pleasant day… that’s all.” She was telling the truth for the most part, she was having a pleasant day but at the same time memories of the past kept creeping on her. Today she would have to constantly remind herself that her memories were just that… memories.

She heard his thanks to her and she nodded and allowed her straight face to show a small smirk. Then he continued on to ask about Elizibeth, it was at this moment that they arrived at the glass-looking elevator. The lights just to the right of the elevator were showing which floor it was on. Since they were at the top floor of the building on would imagine that they would have to wait awhile, but being the owner of the building had its privileges.

“Elizabeth? Oh, don’t worry about it”, she had just finished sending a message to the proper individuals with her phone, “I just took care of it. She should be picked up shortly and then given the time of her life as she gets ready for dinner tonight.” There was a short ping and the elevator doors opened. Without a second thought she walked into the strange contraption as she used her abilities to search out for any threats in the elevator, luckily she didn’t find any today.

She then turned around to look at Darek, “You coming in?”

[dantieduurden]

Darek was taken aback when Zelena asked if he was coming in the elevator and slowly put his foot on the floor making sure it was solid. " You know I can't see glass objects." And with that he steeped into the elevator behind her and wrapped his wings which he had made invisible around her. " It would be so much more convient for me to just jump out a window. " Darek grumbled as he was stuck in the elevator looking around. " You know I have no....physical attraction to this women Zelena correct." Darek asked as he heard the elevator ping signaling that the elevator had come to a stop.

" This elevator is full." Darek said as the door opened to a group of guests waiting at the door. " If you could please just wait for the next elevator it would be much appreciated. Thank you." Darek said as he pushed the button for the door to close and them to continue there way down to the bottom floor. " It is only a temporary thing until she is on her feet. Plus I am not there often, only I need to hide MY things better." Darek put a big empathist on the MY in his sentence. " If I ever had to admit to liking someone it would be someone a lot more... energetic and cautious like the detective." Darek said as the elevator finally came to there floor. " And no you can not make me go out to dinner with her either. " Darek said quickly as he covered his tracks. His job after all was to protect not get a love life, attraction was the last thing on his to do list, even below training a trainer for when and if Zelena had a child one day.

Elizabeth walked outside and went looking around for her ride, a pair of jeans and a red shirt on.

Darek then made sure the door was open to the elevator before steeping out and scanning the area. Once he was done he turned to the two security officers on detail and nodded to them, as he had come to do as of late. He had recently come to an arrangement with them so that he was allowed full information on all people checking in on the top floor and to send anyone asking about Zelena his way. In truth they didn't mind all that much. It made there job easier by having him do the things they were payed to do. And since the agreement there had been a lot less stress between the three of them to the point where on rare occasions they could call on him to help them with a rowdy customer or someone caught cheating.

[Zelena]

The boy cautiously stepped onto the floor of the elevator, “You know I can't see glass objects." She held back the need to chuckle at the boy. She felt the air shift as black feathers surrounded her form. Derek had decided that he would shield her with his wings, but the wings disappeared quickly, the light elemental decided to make them hidden from others. " It would be so much more convenient for me to just jump out a window,” he grumbled; meanwhile she imagined his eyes shifting everywhere as he continued his job," You know I have no....physical attraction to this women Zelena correct." The ping of the elevator had just rung after Darek’s statement.

She kept her face blank now, “I will determine if that is true at a later time.” The elevator doors had opened and her blue eyes found other people standing before her, but she wasn’t at the ground floor. She patiently waited as Darek handled the situation. Then the boy continued telling her that it was only a temporary thing and that he would hide his possessions better next time. She was slightly surprised by his admission that he found Cas attractive, not that she wasn’t a good-looking woman it was just that she didn’t figure that was his type... she was smiling inside… the information would serve as good blackmail at a later date.

There was a slight shift as the elevator finally reached the ground floor. Zelena found that she had quickly settled into her more icy-self and that made her feel comfortable. “And no you cannot make me go out to dinner with her either. “ He had spoken rather quickly to cover his tracks; he was getting better at understanding that she enjoyed teasing him.

The icy water elemental looked around the world outside of the elevator, finding that it was safe she stepped out and Darek wasn’t too far behind her. She kept walking forward not caring to look or lock eyes with anyone, but she did notice Darek’s nod to the two security officers. Well it looked like he was making “friends”.

A floating black limo was waiting for them at the entrance and the all-to-stereotypical driver was there holding the door for Ms.Isolda and her hand-picked bodyguard. She nodded her head as she stepped into the car that had black leather seating and a small bar near the driver where she would store some of her drinks. She took a seat on the farthest corner from the open door, crossing her legs once she was comfortable. Her blue eyes gazed in a empty manner; making her look like she had entered her daydream. She was far from her dream-like state, in fact she was thinking if this dear Elizabeth could be of some use…

[dantieduurden]

Darek got in behind Zelena as she entered the limo, the driver shutting the door behind them. Slowly he began to pull out his inventory of weapons and do a check, all the time also looking outside the windows, especially when someone got close to any of them. When Darek finally relaxed he put all his weapons away and looked across the limo to where Zelena sat, safe, he thought as he looked at her and smiled inwardly. " So you day dreaming my Ace, or thinking of how to make this situation benefit your organization?" Darek asked bluntly as he took off his sunglasses to look into her eyes and allow her the same privilege.

On the inside Darek's mind was the calm before a storm though. Inside his mind he was looking at the design of a tux and wondering where he could hide his weapons, sure he could make them invisible, but that would not hide them if he were to be patted down. Then again who would think or try to pat him down besides a really stupid or drunk human. Darek had seen first hand what the humans drink did to the body when he was younger during his training. It made your mind dull, and your reactions slow, he thought as he looked at Zelena's little mini bar. " May I? " He asked as he picked up a bottle of water.

[Zelena]

She just barely heard the door close as she continued to think deeply about the young woman she had talked to on the phone… she wondered if this Elizebeth was trustful enough for the job that she had in mind. But there were others who were exceedingly more qualified and suited for the ordeal… it seems this would be something that she had to think about for awhile.

Her deep concentration was disturbed from Darek’s question. She looked at him with her blue eyes iced over but now they were focused and alert. “You can say that I am thinking of possibilities for the young woman, what they are though not even I am sure about”, she answered him with a tone of boredom. She had to admit that his pure white eyes could be a bit intimidating, especially if you didn’t understand and know about the Elemental race.

He looked calm and relaxed as he shifted through his arsenal of weapons, she wondered if it was healthy for a young man like him to be so familiar with objects of death and destruction. Later realizing that she couldn’t do anything to stop him even if it wasn’t healthy for the light elemental, he grew up like this and would die attached to those tools one day. It was his destiny or fate one would say, but she had a small secret hope that he would escape that fate and find a better one.

Absentmindedly she watched as he pulled out a bottle of water from the limo mini bar. She nodded her head to answer his question, “I don’t keep any alcohol in here... its better if water, energy drinks, and soft drinks are keep within the mini bar.” She didn’t know if the boy knew what effects liquor could have on the body, but she wouldn’t doubt it if he did. If so she could imagine that he felt it was a good thing. He wouldn’t have to worry about his Ace or himself losing reaction time and the ability to think quickly, which was necessary while in combat and fatal situations.

Soon the car lifted and was heading towards a specific high-end clothing store for Darek’s new tux, she would need to go see someone that understood that she liked to customize any attire that she bought; the boy’s tux wouldn’t be an exception. So it was off to see Mariella Stalleneo who grew fond of her unique requests, apparently she enjoyed the “challenges”. It was one of the reasons Zelena liked this woman.

[dantieduurden]

Darek shock his head and nodded as he thought about what Zelena had just said. Sure the woman was an elemental, and seemed trust worthy. But Darek still didn't like the idea of Zelena using her for any of there plans. " I don't think she should know about the organization." Darek said bluntly and out of no where. " If you would allow me, if you wish to proceed with using her I would like more time to study her, and by her I mean every single part of her. Your life is to important to just give some a job because your guard is giving them room and bored for a time." Darek said as he kept his eyes on his Ace and began to drink his water.

Darek then felt the limo lift up into the sky and smiled, he liked it much more in the sky. Slowly and carefully he put an invisible shield around the limo, his body glowing a faint white as he did so. Darek then sat in silence as he let his strength come back to him. It was easy to cover small objects, but bigger ones wee much harder to block from the normal eye.

" Do you remember the day the agency turned on you and your friend and tried to kill you Zelena, I have a confession to make." Darek said as he took on a softer, yet more serious tone. His pale white eyes seemed to see into her very soul as he talked, both glowing as the memory played back over inside his head. " I was there when they attacked you."

[Zelena]

She twisted her head so she could give her attention to Darek, as he explained that he didn’t like the idea of Elizebeth knowing about the organization or being part of anything with his charge. But his last statement made her temper slightly appear as her eyes slightly narrowed. She didn’t like it when others thought that she was unwise with her choices. But she decided that she should calm her temper for his sake more than hers. Additionally she disliked it when she lost a bit of her tight control of her emotions; she reasoned that this was something that shouldn’t be beyond her capabilities.

Zelena took note of the faint glow surrounding her body guard. It seems that he felt it was necessary to camouflage the limo. She was glad to see that the boy was growing better at his job each day. It was rather nice to see the change that occurred within the boy as he grew more and more mature. If she kept this up she would start seeing the boy as her own.

“Do you remember the day the agency turned on you and your friend and tried to kill you Zelena, I have a confession to make.” Her eyes grew wide in alertness and her full attention was on the boy in front of her. Suspicion… was what first came to her mind but then soon anger took hold of her. The subject that he was discussion was one of the only things that would easily make her an emotional mess… however this ended was bound to be stuck in both of their own memories.

She didn’t like the pity and soft look that his eyes were giving her; not at all. “I was there when they attacked you”, he finally voiced. It was then that her anger had gotten the best of her; the limo’s windows crackled with the instant appearance of ice along the side and back windows. Her reaction seemed to make the bullet proof glass form small veins but not full out cracks.

She didn’t say anything but her eyes did the talking for her as she started at him, it was intense since she didn’t move nor decrease the amount of irritation now radiating off of her like heat off a grand fireplace. Ironically the limo itself was very chilly and it would have caused Zelena to shiver if she wasn’t use to the instant change already.

Finally after what had felt like years she had regained some composure over herself. Aqua eyes were hidden by neat eyelashes as she closed her eyes. Her thoughts were racing but she would address this as calmly as she could. Her eyes lifted up only the slightest bit, but she didn’t even make the effort to look at Darek as she looked at the small mini-drink-bar in front of her. “Is that so?” Her voice was too soft and way too composed. It was apparent that this wasn’t looking good for Darek at all.

[dantieduurden]

Darek felt the change before it actually happened as the temperature dropped and the windows began to crack. Though it was freezing he refused to close the situation that had been opened, nor would he back down, she could easily kill him, but what was death besides another part of life.

When Zelena finally calmed down slightly Darek continued. " I was the reason you and your friend survived that night Zelena, since I escaped the agency and they killed my parents, I have always been somewhere in the shadows watching. " Darek empathized by poking his head into a shadow and having it pop out on the other side of her. " Shadow stepping was the first trick I learned. Sadly unlike others I can only do it short distances so flying was always my thing." Darek sad as he took a drink of water and continued.

" That day of the attack I knew the Agency had something planned for you, but I could never get close enough to find out, it was like a cover up so I followed you to where you meet your friend. I was hiding not that far away and when I saw the guards coming to surround you I did the best I could to take out and make them go the wrong way." Again Darek paused as the memories flashed by his eyes, almost painting a picture across them. Once he believed she had caught up he continued, " When I knew it was pointless and I saw your light begin to fade I threw a globe of Darkness over you two and took out the rest of the guards in there confused and afraid state. After that I brought you back to full...abilities, I believe the word is. And tried to help your friend, but then you started waking up and I was afraid you would think me a enemy so I ran."

One lone tear fell from Dareks eye as he looked at his Ace, " I should have stayed by your side all those years ago instead of running of and hiding. And for that I am sorry." Darek said looking at his Ace. Waiting for her powers to hit him.

[Zelena]

“I was the reason you and your friend survived that night Zelena, since I escaped the agency and they killed my parents, I have always been somewhere in the shadows watching”, spoke Darek. But her eyes were still eerily still focused on the mini-bar. She was trying to make herself feel numb she was trying to control her emotions. She could feel the anger, disappointment, guilt, sadness, and intense pain. She could feel it all but she was trying her best to lock it away under the numbness of her mind.


She didn’t really pay attention as the boy demonstrated a small bit of shadow-stepping. She wasn’t too shocked but she also wasn’t expecting him to already have the ability to do so… even at such a short distance. She listened as he continued explaining more about the abilities he knew only to pause for a quick drink of water.

She wanted to forget this conversation. So she attempted to close her eyes, hoping that it would lessen the realizations that came at her like heat-seeking-missiles. She half-way paid attention to his words and apology but she knew one thing with no doubt… that he was the stranger that had saved not only her life… but Solairs’s. She opened her eyes again slightly and her lips parted enough to whisper word softly, “Solaris…”

Where was he? Where did he head off to without telling her? She was now angry again… but not at Darek but the fact that her life was so complicated and her emotions seemed to be an even bigger mess. She then awakened a bit for her sleep-like trance as she looked at her still bodyguard. “I will forgive you if you never speak a word of it again...” Her tone was sharp, tense, but steady. Then her eyes were guarded but slips of her emotions were leaking out… tears that were never truly shed where hidden behind her eyes.

“And it would be wise to be careful about the subject around me… I can become the worse danger to you if you cross too many boundaries, Darek. I say this not just for myself but for your safety from myself.” Guilt now rang through her body as she remembered who’s life she had taken without a second thought.

[dantieduurden]

Darek now was happy that he had the topic of his chest and made a small smile as he went over to Zelena, his Ace and brushed the hair out of her face and the tears he could see from the light reflecting of her eyes. " I shall never bring the topic up again. I'm sorry it caused you so much..." Darek held his Ace as he thought of the word "discomfort." And with that Darek quickly changed the topic " So my ice Queen what shall you have your valiant knight in today, a penguin suit perhaps? Or maybe if I could just recommend something, " Darek said as he looked at his normal clothes and a design came to mind. " A White suit with so that I may where my black bullet proof vest without any taking notice, and a white button up underneath with a black tie. And for my favrite part..."
Darek smiled at Zelena as he said it " A white top hat with what appears to be a raven's Talons on it. Of course if you have something else in mind, you are the one paying after all." Darek said as he stayed sitting next to Zelena. When he knew in his heart that she was calm, and not in her eyes that she was he would leave her side once again.

[Zelena]

She was completely still but was fully aware of Darek’s attempt to comfort her. It worked a bit but it would never be enough; enough to stop the pain of the memoires. “I shall never bring the topic up again. I’m sorry it caused you so much…” He paused but that was okay, she knew what he was referring to.

She was glad that he had changed the topic back to the design of suit; it allowed her to distract her mind. “I like the idea but the top hat might be too much”, she paused her voice was soft still but it didn’t lose its authority still, “Actually, a top hat would be fine but with black feathers instead of the talons.”

She then looked up at her bodyguard with her glazed and iced over eyes, “Also you can let go of me now, I’ll be just fine now.” She allowed her voice to be softer so that she didn’t offend Darek, he was young and it as easy to read him. As a result she knew that when she pushed him away that it hurt him, but she never let anyone too close. All because whenever she did let someone in… they usually ended up hurting her and she was determined to not allow that to happen again.

[dantieduurden]

Darek listened as she changed the top hats talon to a feather and looker it over in his mind, " Yes a feather would do fine." He said as he saw the image in his head, the feather could become quite a distraction if he wanted it to be. " Ill get the feather." Darek said as he let his wings unfurl to there full length, one was all the way at the other side of the limo, the other was wrapped around Zelena's body. Slowly and precisely he took two feathers, one from both wing. Next he closed his and began to give Zelena the two feathers to choose from when she spoke.

“Also you can let go of me now, I’ll be just fine now.” Darek listened without thinking to his Ace as he moved to the other side of the Limo and then stuck his hand into a shadow and dropped the two feathers. " Which one do you like more?" Darek asked as they gently floated down in front of her eyes. One was sharp and long, all the feathers pointing upwards. While the other was much shorter and had its feathers in a more chaotic manner. As he was doing this he was putting a light shadow over his face so Zelena did not see the pain on his face, he could easily hide it in his voice now, but his face always gave him away to her. He was hurt that she would never allow him to get close, he understood why she would not allow him, but it still didn't sit right with him. " I should be the one she feels most comfortable around, I was the one born to protect her and never allowed to turn my back in any way that could hurt her." Darek thought to himself as she saw how much trust she put in her team on there first meeting once again play out in his mind. And thats when the limo arrived.

[Zelena]

She opened her up palm up as Darek dropped the two black feathers. Darek then asked her which one she liked better. One would expect her to neat, sharp, and long one. It looked more clean cut compared to the short and chaotic one. But she preferred the shorter one; it reflected Darek well. “Darek, I am sorry.” She was aware of the dark mask he had placed over himself to hide his grief from her.

Then with both hands she angled the two feathers together to that they were angled in the same direction with the chaotic one in front. “What do you think of this?” She then asked as she held up the two feathers in the same manner she had placed them in. “I think both will be excellent together.”

At that moment the limo had arrived at its destination. But she didn’t budge this had to be decided before they went into the high end store. As a result she continued to hold the feathers out until he answered her.

[dantieduurden]

Darek let a small smile escape him as he looked at Zelena, " It is ok, I should not have said anything about the topic. I had a feeling that you would not like what I had to say and I said it anyways." Darek then looked at how she had the two feathers and how he saw a small glint in her eye when she held the smaller, more chaotic one. " I believe that you are putting them together to symbolize us. My more chaotic approach to life is the smaller feather in the front because I am your guard, and will always be in the front protecting you from harm. And that the larger, feather represents you, more organized and have an agenda all planed out to a t. " Darek then smiled knowing that she would never leave this car until he answered her. " I like it, now may we go my Ace, though the party may never start without you, it can start without me." Darek smiled as he opened the door and did a quick scan before holding his hand back in for zelena to get out.

[Zelena]

She smiled and listened as Darek understood the symbolism between the two feathers. She was actually quite surprised and happy that he recognized it. It was strange though, seeing him smile with his face purposely covered in tattoos in order to make himself more intimidating.

“I like it, now may we go my Ace, though the party may never start without you, it can start without me”, spoke her guard as he held open the door for her. She took his hand as he helped her out of the limo. “You flatter me too much Darek”, she said in plain but soft tone. The wind blew slightly and it felt good against her cinnamon skin. “Well lets go visit Madame Stalleneo.” On that note she began walking towards the beautifully crafted glass doors. It wasn’t too surprising to find that the handles were engraved with a matching pattern on the glass. Everything had to flow with each other, according to Madame Stalleneo.

Luckily the doors were automatic so she didn’t have to wait on anyone to open the door for her. High heels clacked against the shiny white marble floors. Columns of white granite sparkled when hit with the pure light of floating crystal-like light fixtures along the walls. In the middle of the welcome room there was a chandelier that looked like free flowing broken crystals had just decided to stop mid air, allowing dazzling colors to fill the room.

She loved the atmosphere that this place provided; it was like entering an underground palace of an Earth elemental. Usually she didn’t like being surrounded by too much stone but the fact that the colors that Stalleneo used were bright and made the room open helped to lessen her natural distaste. A woman had entered wearing a beautiful white gown that flowed behind her like one could imagine air flowing behind a beautiful air elemental in the days of old, where gowns were oh so common. The sleeves of the dress were short but cut around to fit on the woman’s shoulders appealingly. Blonde hair flowed behind the woman rather sweetly as it was dressed with small clusters of crystal, making it shine like the chandelier. Beige eyes recognized the vivid blue ones.

“Welcome back Ms. Isoda to my home. How may I serve you today?” spoke the woman with a charming and alluring voice.

[dantieduurden]

"Some one must charm you my Ace, I'm afraid many other males are to intimidated of you to even ask if you want something to drink." Darek laughed before following a step behind Zelena. " Indeed lets go see the person who shall take away my individuality and make me look like a good boy in a suit that can't hide a weapon big enough for my liking." Darek said with a serious face on as he walked straight into the room and was almost blinded. The whites all seemed to flow together to Dareks unusual eyes, to the point that he had to question himself if he had indeed gone blind. If not for Zelena standing in front of him he would surly have thought he had.

As Darek adjusted the light in the room with his powers to a more comfortable tone for himself he heard, as well as felt the air in the room pick up. When he looked up he saw a middle age women from what he could tell in a beautiful flowing dress.“Welcome back Ms. Isoda to my home. How may I serve you today?” Darek heard the women say, an alluring tone to her voice. Already he was hating this women that stood before him. She seemed better fit for a politician them a clothing maker. but he kept quite, his face a complete mask even to Zelena he hid his true feelings as to not upset her, who was doing so much for him on this day.

[Zelena]

“First of all it is wonderful to see you again Madame Stalleneo”, Zelena gave the woman a small smile. Just enough to make another person feel comfortable, “I believe that I am going to request a suit for my charge”, blue eyes looked at Darek so as to point him out to the elegant woman.

Stalleneo’s face lightened up with curiosity and excitement. She gently walked over to the light elemental. Picking up one side of her dress with her left hand as her right hand flowed in front of her effortlessly. Soon her clear pale face was about a foot away from Dark’s. “Well don’t you look intimidating”, said the woman in a casual tone. Meanwhile she inspected the boy circling around him and then at times stopping.

“What is the occasion?” Asked Madame Stalleneo. Zelena was getting a kick out of this but she wouldn’t let Darek know that. “His first special occasion dinner, over at Zuulair”, responded the water elemental in her usual cold manner. The other woman hmmmed for a moment before she moved her hands to express that she wanted the boy to take off his coat. Now the question was… would he?
