Tara closed the door as quietly as she could yet she could hear energy flowing to through her. She sighed and opened the door to her bathroom, it was adorned with flowers in vases and yellow and green tiles that weren't harsh on the eyes. She turned on the sink, letting the water flow before letting it run over her hands. The water ran cold but she could see the veins on her hand, glowing. Tara turned off the water, sighing and shaking her hand dry.

(Sorry)

Kai and Aisha slowed down to a walk when going into the village. Kai dismounted and lead her over to the nearest stable. "Bording request!" He called. A small man came running out and quickly bowed. "Morning, m'lord. What can I do for you?" "I wished to board a stall for the day." the man nodded taking Aisha's reins. "I'll pay more for the better treatment of my horse." he called after them. The man nodded and quickly let.

Kai came back for his mare after a couple of hours and saw her grazing happily in a small corral with an armed stable boy watching her. He stood and watched them for a moment. The stable Boy seemed to be enjoying watching Aisha. He smiled to himself. "You like her?" he said standing behind him. The stable boy jumped and then relaxed. "Yes, M'lord! Would you like her saddled?" he asked still nervously looking at the mare. "I can do it if you get me her things." He said patting the boy's head. The boy ran off and Kia whisled for her. She looked up and trotted over happily. "Good girl." as he stroked her neck. "Lets take the long way home, yes?"

..

As the two walked for a while, they saw a large enstate of a Duke or something. A large rich carrage was standing infront of the door. He reconized it as his brother's. Kia sighed. "What do you thing girl, rich and poor. No inbetween."

The door opened and her mother looked at her, "Tara! Go get ready! With those-" she struggled to think of the word, "Pearls, your father and I gave you last year!"
Tara was shocked, would she be meeting him already? The door shut as she turned to face her mother and ask. Leaving her sitting there, but she did as she was told. She changed her dress did her makeup, she wore a rich lipstick the color of the red rose in her hair.
She put on the pearl necklace and stood up, Tara pressed a hand to her stomach trying to stabilize herself feeling nauseous. She grabbed a fan, embroidered with flowers and butterflies. Before opening the door and taking the long way to the stairs.

Kia didn't stay too long watching the house and turn Aisha towards the road again. He watched the house until he couldnt see it any further and then put her into a canter.

She was half down the stairs, before she saw him. He had on a deep green and blue suit, with a cane too. His slicked back blonde hair could be blinding, but brought good attention to his eyes set deep in their sockets. He looked up and his eyes met her, "Ah! The lovely Miss. Tara Castillo! So lovely to finnally meet you." Tara smiled, reaching the bottom of the steps. She extended a hand and he took it planting a kiss on the back of her hand. Tara took her hand back from him covering her face with her elegant fan. She now recognized what he was, a peacock-man. He continued to speak, "I am Braydon Hawthorn. Would you care to company for a carriage ride around the neighborhood?"

Kai slowed down Aisha and stopped her by a pond. As she drank, Kai sat down close enought to keep an eye on the road but far away enough for no one to see him. All of the sudden, with a flick of is hand, a small blue/green flame erupted from each of his figures. His horse of course was used to the flames and didn't startle at it at all. She started munching on some grass happily as as more flames eropted.

"That sounds lovely." Tara hated every minute of this. She watched her mother and a maid talking and pointing at her. Tara felt exposed. He took his arm in herd leading her outside. Tara wished to float herself away to somewhere safe.

(sorry 🥴😔)

Kai heard a charrage or something moving and quickly put out his fire and grabbed horse. He then acted like he was just letting horse get a drink and acted like he was being very patient... Maybe too patient. He shook his head and stood there.

(Just fine, no need to apologize! Also, the new stable aviatar looks amazing!)
Tara sat gazing out the window pretending to listen to him rattle on about himself. She had a daisy, that she had pulled from the earth when they first started using her gift. It hovered just above her hand, out of his view turning and spinning in air.
