The meadow

[joar]

He nodded to the boy in acknowledgment. He then turned his gaze to the girl. Seems she had been the one that had started the search for the winged creature. "Yes, this is Loiosh, and no he isn't a bird if thats what you thought at first. But I am Joar Addam Nessosin." He said with a grin. His thick Romani accent couldn't be helped. Some said it sounded Romanian and it sort of did but had hints of Egyptian in it too.

He looked to both of them and shrugged. He raised his shoulder and Loiosh lifted into the air and landed on a nearby tree branch. You never could stop from having a flashy entrance could you? Loiosh said to him. You know it, and who says flashy entrances aren't fun? He said back.

They constantly fought each other and pointed out each others faults relentlessly but they were the closest friends could get to each other. Even though Loiosh was a demon and Joar his master. Loiosh had been the one to teach him of the demonic world and how it worked.

Standing beside Corgan, Sephora stared at the strange creature. It glistened gently in the sun, perched so close to the boy's head. She yearned to reach out and touch it, but from the look of the thing's mouth, that wouldn't be such a good idea. Corgan made his introduction, and commented on the fantastic qualities of the boy's creature.

"Yes, this is Loiosh, and no he isn't a bird if thats what you thought at first. But I am Joar Addam Nessosin."

Sephora laughed, "Well it became quite obvious that the creature was no longer a bird, once it did not shy away from the rapid growth of the tree." She met Joar's eyes, "It is good to meet you, Joar. I am Sephora." Her Armenian accent danced across her words like water.

[joar]

Joar looked the girl over. Sephora she had said her name was. He smiled and stepped forward and took her hand putting the back of his free hand on his back and kissed it. "un frumos nume pentru un seară mai mult frumos femeie" he said smiling, his mud brown eyes looked up to hers as he straightened and smiled.

The girl was beautiful, and thats why he had said what he said. Wait...he had said it in Romanian. Dammit all he doubted either knew what he had said. "I, uh mean, A beautiful name for an even more beautiful woman." he said looking calm. "I apologize for what I said earlier its just I am used to speaking to my...familia, my family, more then ordinary people." he said as he brushed a small bit of hair from his face.

The girl was wearing shorts and a white t-shirt. She also seemed to have an accent, something that seemed oddly familiar but yet at the same time distant. He had been all over Europe and Asia but he just couldn't seem to place a finger on where that accent was from.

You idiot, its Armenian, remember? You were about what? 14 when you heard it. Your father had brought home a friend and he spoke Armenian. Or at least in the accent. Loiosh said to him from the tree branch. Memories started clicking and connecting and he started to remember. Oh yeah, that was Arakel He thought back. He was pretty cool considering who he was.

He looked back to the girl and grinned. "Armenian accent if I am not mistaken right?" he said asking if the accent was correct or not. He could have sworn it was but only her answer would tell if it was true or not.

[sephora]

Sephora's eyes raised in delighted surprise. "un frumos nume pentru un searã mai mult frumos femeie" She didn't know what he said, but a few of the words sounded similiar to some of her Armenian words. He suddenly seemed flustered, as if he hadn't meant to speak in the other language. "I, uh mean, A beautiful name for an even more beautiful woman. I apologize for what I said earlier its just I am used to speaking to my...familia, my family, more then ordinary people."

The girl's blush lit up her face, she never spent enough time around other people to receive a compliment from anyone but her father. Once one of the men that worked for her father had called her pretty, but her father had had him shot the next day. "Ordinary words can be such a dazzling as fancy ones, Joar." Sephora smiled at him teasingly, "So tell me, where are you from?"

[joar]

The boy watched the girl, Sephora as she blushed at his words. He grinned back at her as Loiosh just shook his serpent-like head and bury it into his wing. Joar didn't care, he was having fun and the girl seemed quite interesting unlike the boy from what he heard Loiosh tell him about.

He then looked up at her with cool brown eyes and smiled. "So, Miss Sephora, you never answered my question, is that an Armenian accent? No matter," he said with a wave of his hand. "That melody you sang earlier...It is quite...lovely." he said looking at her.

"I believe it went like this but tell me if the melody is wrong." He then placed his syrinx to his lips and played the tune. He went from memory but he had hoped it was right. Loiosh took his head from his wing and looked at him. Bloody show off, must you ALWAYS do this with the pretty ones? He said through their personal telepathic link.

Joar just shrugged. I may show off for the pretty ones but I am doing this for the beautiful one. Besides, I love music. He said as he looked at Sephora again. He then got an idea. Loiosh get your scaly butt over there and land on her shoulder, don't clench and spread your claws so you don't ruin the cute girl's shirt will ya? He told him.

Why should I? Just because you like this girl? He said with a small puff of smoke coming from his nose. Because your my little messenger boy and you will do as I say or I won't let you see Rocza anymore. Told him and Loiosh gave a mental glare to him and lightly floated over to Sephora landing on her shoulder without clamping down with his claws on her shirt. Joar was still playing the tune and decided to stop. "Well you wanted to touch him since you chased after him, theres your chance." he said with a grin.

[sephora]

"So, Miss Sephora, you never answered my question, is that an Armenian accent? No matter, that melody you sang earlier...It is quite...lovely." Sephora chuckled softly. "Why thankyou, Joar. It is a lullaby that was taught to me long ago. And yes, I am Armenian."

"I believe it went like this but tell me if the melody is wrong." Sephora gasped softly as he played the lullaby to a T. She was shocked that he had remembered it so perfectly, it was a very pleasant surprise. Sephora smiled at the boy. "That was amazing, Joar. I cannot believe that you could remember it so well, especially just after hearing me sing it from afar."

Then after a moment, the scaly creature that was perched on Joar's shoulder opened its wings, taking to the air. She froze, though, as it seemed to head straight for her. To Sephora's completel surprise, it landed gently on her shoulder, lighter than expected. The creature was magnificent. "It won't bite me if I. . ." Sephora let her words trail on as her soft, slender fingers caressed the thing's smooth body.

"It's magnificent."

[joar]

He brought the syrinx down from his lips and grinned. Sephora obviously liked how he played the music. He flashed his pearly whites as she seemed shocked. "Well music is my forte." He said as he looked over to Loiosh.

He had settled down on her shoulder and she seemed almost frozen in surprise as he did that. She spoke that he was magnificent, and Joar just grinned. "Well when he isn't snapping back to you he is alright." He said calmly.

"Oh and don't let him bite you or even nibble...He is well...poisonous. Trust me I found that out the hard way in Hell." he said with a shrug. Loiosh just shook his head, Bloody show off. He said to him. I told you before, only for the beautiful ones. He said with a grin.

Did he have to say he went to hell when he got Loiosh? No, but still as Loiosh had said, he was a show off. Good thing no one could hear what they talked about when they used their telepathic link.

[sephora]

"Oh and don't let him bite you or even nibble...He is well...poisonous. Trust me I found that out the hard way in Hell." Sephora did not jerk away. She became even more infatuated with the interesting creature, knowing that it was dangerous as well. The girl was rarely afraid of things, the only person that had ever frightened her was Ms. Chekov, mainly because Sephora believed she was criminally insane.

"You went to Hell to find him, Joar?" She asked delicately, not wanting to disturb the gorgeous creature. "You are beautiful," She whispered softly to thing perched softly on her shoulder, "What is his name?"

[joar]

He gave a nod when she asked that he went to Hell to get Loiosh. It wasn't the whole truth but it was mainly true. "Well, not fully into hell, more like...the first level of Hell, the realm of Lust. I'm not strong enough to go to the others but Loiosh here is helping me learn about demons and controlling them." He said with a slightly cocky grin.

He then looked to Loiosh who was now nuzzling her hand as she petted him. He gave a shrug and looked to the sun, it was starting to get late in the afternoon and he did not want to detain the girl much longer then was necessary. "Well Miss Sephora, it is getting rather late and I must apologize but I must take my leave of you now along with Loiosh." he said as he strode up to her.

"This is good bye, for now." he said with a charming smile as he took up her hand and kissed it. "And this is for a meeting for better tomorrows." he said and kissed her forehead. He winked at her as Loiosh jumped to his shoulder and walked off playing the melody he had heard Sephora play a while ago.

[sephora]

As Joar spoke of the Realm of Lust, Sephora was slightly distracted by the demon perched on her shoulder. He had begun nuzzling her hand and had begun moving to her cheek, the soft, cool scales feeling good against her skin, having been warmed by the sun. The lovely girl laughed and stroked him.

Turning her attention back to Joar, he took her hand and kissed it, dismissing himself. She blushed softly and the demon left her shoulder after one final nuzzle. The boy then stepped forward and kissed her forhead softly in an adoring manner. Looking up at him through dark lashes, Sephora saw the boy in a completely different light, and her stomach suddenly felt missing.

The mantle of infatuation set itself on her shoudlers and Sephora turned to watch him leave as he played her song.
