Secrets of Silvermoon~

Dhemetrius leaned forward on his shaded perch, he had been watching as a young human man snuck around the shadows of Silvermoon. His brows furrowed as he pondered what this foolish human man could be risking his neck for. Whatever it was it must be truly valuable, he would have to find out as was his curious nature. Perhaps he himself could obtain the valuable object. His coin purse was a bit light at the moment. That aside he had been observing this young man for a while, what intrigued him was how seemingly comfortable this human was inside a capital enemy city, how this young man appeared to be at least somewhat familiar with the splendid city. Silently lurking on the rooftops above he followed behind the young human man; eager to know what the man searched for. After some time, and some close calls by the guards, the young man appeared to hasten his step. It would seem he was almost at his destination. Enthralled by the suspense and the unknown, Dhemetrius elongated his stride to maintain pace with the young human male. Around a few sharp corners, towards quieter roads, the human went, remaining in the shadows all the way, until he reached the back entrance to a rather lovely Sindorei house. From above Dhemetrius observed the events that followed. A few quick taps of the door was all that was needed to open it, inside the silhouette of a Sindorei woman could be seen, her features not clearly visible however. She rushed the human man inside safe from most prying eyes. A knowing smirk spread across the Rogue’s lips, “Well now isn’t this interesting; a valuable possession indeed. “ he whispered quietly to himself, chuckling at the sheer foolishness or what one might call bravery shown by the young human man. Out of hearing range the Surarmarian lounged, twirling a few strands of his wavy white hair in between his fingers as he thought of what his next move would be. He could tip off the guards and make a pretty penny, he could go in there himself and dispose of the man, he could blackmail the two and earn himself some easy coin, he could attempt to befriend the Sindorei woman in an attempt to retrieve more knowledge on the encounter, or he could turn a blind eye and find something more profitable to pursue.Though if this meeting of sorts led to an attack on the Horde while he turned a blind eye, that wouldn’t sit right with him. Even if,as of late the Horde has been making some questionable moves. Alas there was still time yet to make a decision, and from his perch in the rooftops above, Dhemetrius would be the first to know when it was time to make a decision.

“Lord Dhemetrius what has been your most memorable kiss?”

Dhemetrius sat cross legged in a regal, backed, armchair, in his spacious residence within Silvermoon. Opposite him sat a small sindorei woman, dressed professionally. Her gold eyes studying him sternly, an enchanted quill and notepad hovering by her head, awaiting his answer.

The well-dressed elf ran a hand from his cheeks down to his chin, a smirk following the movement. An intense lavender gaze focused on the woman, “Truthfully I’ve had a number of memorable kisses. But I suppose I should tell a story that won’t have someone’s husband chasing me through the streets.” His gaze fell a moment, eyes fixated on one of his many rings, for a few moments it seemed the elf was lost to memories.

When his reverie ended the shaldorei offered up his tale.

“Let’s see, I had returned to Surarmar, but for a little while. I had a new suit to pick up from my favorite tailor of all time. Found out, by chance that a masquerade ball was being held at Lunastre Estates. So, intrigued I donned my new suit, purchased the best mask I could find and made my way to the aforementioned location.”

Dhemetrius paused his story all but a second to run a hand through his hair and to collect his thoughts.

“The venue was stunning, the decorations breath taking, the music truly moving, the people all seemed to be of high-standing. People I admired growing up as a small boy. But there was one woman in particular who just upstaged every single other elf in the vicinity. Her beauty could be the topic of numerous novels. Easily the most gorgeous woman or man in that whole sea of people. She shone like a gem.” His voice was full of emotion, as if the elf himself had gone back in time to that exact moment. As if he were witnessing this all for the first time.

“It should come as no surprise that she had an endless amount of suitors, and an endless rotation of dance partners, each one desperately awaiting their chance to dance with this absolute goddess.” The indigo elf, smirked again, one hand gesturing with his next words.

“Of course I had to share a dance with her as well, at the very least. I could not leave until I had held in her in my arms, if but only for a single moment. So it was, being a handsome person myself, many others attempted to engage me in dance as I made my way towards this ethereal woman. All of them were beneath me at this moment. I couldn’t be stopped. I would dance with this woman, and it would be a highlight of my long life for many, many, years to come. Which it is. To my amazement, she graced me with a dance.” His voice dropped to near a whisper with his next words. “Her hair reflected the soft light from the chandelier above. Her supple skin seemed to sparkle beneath my fingers, the fabric of her gown matched in excellence only by my own custom suit. Her gentle lilac eyes, utterly mesmerizing. Not a single flaw had defaced this beautiful vision before me. Her lips, painted, plump, inviting, you must understand I simply had to steal a kiss. I could not restrain myself any longer. Who could?!” His verbal exclamation was emphasized by the elf’s body language. Dhemetrius had leaned forward, arms out flung before him, fingers splayed. He then fell back in his seat. His carved cheeks were flushed with color, taking in a deep breath, he once more ran a hand through his curls, before resuming his tale.

“Fortunately for me, this was allowed by her excellence. Were it not, I likely would not be here to share this story. For her sake, I will say no more. Were this tale to be continued, her permission would be needed. She is a woman of admiration to her people, for many reasons and I would not wish to cause her any trouble by discussing her actions, following the kiss. I will say, she in no way made a fool of herself, and as is expected of one with her standing, remained a true noble woman.” With the conclusion of his tale, Dhemetrius once more crossed his legs, placing his interlaced hands atop his knee. Meeting the sindorei woman’s gaze he said. “That’s should suffice. Any other questions for me?”

To know oneself

REVERENCE

One part of you dreams of giving yourself up – perhaps just for a while – to a hero or mentor. In the right circumstances you can flourish by letting go of your ego. In your inner life, reverence plays out as a willing submission to your own conscience. In the outside world, you might get frustrated searching for something worth believing in – a country, a person, a company – but you will always be open to feeling respect, admiration and wonder. For Reverence:

SENSITIVITY

You have delicate, sensitive perceptions; you can be deeply moved by appearances – the right light in a room, or good food, or the texture of a piece of clothing. Expressive, intelligent language has a powerful hold on you; your mind works better when it is inspired and provoked by vivid imagery. It can be sad to live in a world which is often so ugly and not properly looked after. But you know that things can be otherwise, and you have the ability to appreciate the world at its best. For Sensitivity:

EXHIBITIONISM

There’s a strand in your nature which loves making an impression – perhaps with your clothes, or conversation, or in a self-revealing blog or a novel. You like to dramatise yourself, to pose as a unique, perhaps mysterious person, to joke or exaggerate your part in adventures. Though you might more than once have been called a show off, it is actually a generous tendency: you want to please and entertain others. It could be the start of good teaching and leadership.

I do not currently have the link to the self realization test.

Guilty or innocent : Leycourt edition

Asked someone to marry you? The pale indigo elf, sat across from the shadowy interviewer,hands clasped together, perched atop his knees. The question received a scoff first, “ An odd first question. Ah, but to humour you, no. I have not had the pleasure or strain of being in a committed relationship as of yet.”

Kissed one of your friends? A small inhale as the elf mulled over the question asked, “Actually I have not. Even platonically, guess I’m not the most affectionate person.”

Danced on a table in a bar/tavern? A sharp inhale between perfectly,porcelain, teeth “Ooh no, I am not the one for dancing atop tables, I tend to encourage others to do so. Let it be known though, I do enjoy dancing.”

Ever told a lie? A charming smile graced his generous lips, a knowing twinkle in those lavender orbs. “Why of course, sometimes it is all my job requires of me. Nobles can be most petty at times.”

Had feelings for someone you can’t have? “Romantic feelings, always. Purely sexual feelings, those too but often I can fulfill those. But romantic, yes a few times too many.” His answer was spoken with genuine honesty, giving the otherwise sketchy elf, a trustworthy aura.

Ever kissed someone of the same sex? “Yes, I love freely. I most enjoy the embrace of a woman, but every now and again you meet someone of the same sex or of no particular assigned gender, so irrevocably divine, you just have to steal a kiss.” A long-fingered hand, brushed aside the stark white curls that fell into Dhemetrius’ lavender eyes.

Kissed a picture? “Innocent. I am in need of pictures actually. I have received one from a dark haired beauty, who is now happily married and like the gentleman I am, I burned the image lest it fall into the wrong hands.” There was a twinge of self pride in those spoken words.

Slept until 5pm? “Naturally, used to be a regular occurrence, up until recently. In the last few months, I’ve seen many more sunrises than in all my two-thousand plus years. I am sincerely trying to be a good pupil for the Stillword Siblings. Do tell them this, won’t you?”

Worked at serving behind a bar or at a restaurant? The slender elf shook his head, “Innocent as can be.”

Stolen something? “Many things, not all of them for myself. A job is a job, no?”

Been fired from a job? “Innocent, as I am self-employed.” The way I which the elf spoke the words “self-employed” suggested that the term may not be used to describe his actions by others who were familiar with his line of work.

Done something you regret? The elf’s countenance grew reflective, the light in his eyes dulling as he became more pensive. “Yes, but I’ve kept this list to only a handful of things.”

Laughed until something you were drinking came out of your nose? “Er, not my nose but I have spat out a few good sips from uproarious laughter.”

Caught a snowflake on your tongue? The two more, light-hearted, questions did their part to bring the dark elf out of his stoic reveries. “Yes, as a small child, many moons ago.”

Sat on a roof top?  “Guilty. They offer an excellent vantage point.”

Kissed someone you shouldn’t have? Color crept into the elf’s cheeks, as he recalled fond memories. “Yes. But the lady herself allowed it, dare I say, I believe she enjoyed it. Sadly, I must add that we hit it off better that one night than any other we shared. I fear I fell under her enchantment and became a doddering, love-stricken puppy. Not the most becoming I know, and I’m sure I caused my own fall from her graces. But by Elune, she is such an ethereal, sensual, glamorous, gracious woman. I admire the man who does not lose face under her charm.”

Sang in the shower? The question received a nonplussed look “Innocent.”

Been pushed into a body of water with all your clothes on? Ivory brows furrowed, “No, I don’t believe I would take kindly to that and those who know me or of me certainly know this as well.”

Shaved your head? The man looked as though the interviewer had just said the most deplorable words ever uttered. “Never! How could one think of defiling such glorious curls, my hair is a blessing. To add on to that, I do not believe my features would allow me to so effortlessly pull off that look like my acquaintance Eres does.”

Made a lover cry? “Innocent. To the best of my knowledge. I would certainly hope not.”

Shot a gun? A quick nod, sent his white curls bouncing. “Oh most definitely, yet I do not prefer them myself, far too noisy. It’s hard to have the element of surprise with a clunky, loud, weapon such as a gun.”

Still loved someone you shouldn’t? “I can’t say that I believe I have known love, so innocent i am.”

Have/had a tattoo? With a flashy grin and a grandiose gesture to his entire being the elf replied. “I have several, from my neck down to my waistline. I would have had them continue further but you see, my leg hair tends to be much thicker than that of my arms, and so I fear any tattoos there would be mostly obscured.”

Liked someone, but will never tell who? “Mm, no I usually make my affections known, just as of yet they’ve been unreciprocated.”

Been too honest?  Lavender orbs rolled in minor annoyance “Contrary to what you may assume of me, yes I tell the truth far more than one might think.”

Ruined a surprise? “Innocent”

Been told that you’re beautiful by someone who totally meant what they said? The elf uncrossed his legs and shifted into a more comfortable position, his back straight against his chair, hands Reston on either side of him, his haughty gaze searching the shadows for the one issuing the questions. “Guilty, It is with great gratitude that I admit I receive many compliments.”

Stalked someone? Another scoff from the elf, “Pfft, innocent.”

Thoughts about murder? A strange, dark light entered those lavender eyes, the darkness seemed to embrace the shaldorei like a well-fitted suit. “For personal reasons, no.”

How about mass murder? “Innocent.”

Cheated on someone? “Innocent. All relationships I’ve had, however fleeting, have been open and transparent. No cheating has occurred.”

Gotten so angry that you cried? Pearlescent teeth flashed in the low lighting as the shaldorei bit his bottom lip before venturing a reply “Guilty.”

Tried to stay away from someone for their own good? “Innocent. Well, that may not be entirely true, there’s this silver-haired,goddess, who’s had my eye for quite some time, but her brooding,death knight,bodyguard is a strong deterrent, that and from what I’ve observed, she’s too glorious a flower for me to dare contaminate.”

Thoughts about suicide? “When I was younger yes I contemplated it, but then in a moment of clarity I realized my death, might’ve actually brought my father some joy. So, I decided against that course of action, insisting on living to spite him. Because of that decision, you have the exquisite pleasure of pestering me with all of these nonsensical inquiries. You’re welcome.”

Had a lover? “Yes, several. Guilty, go ahead restrain me. I won’t bite but a little.” A cheeky grin danced on that handsome face.

Gotten totally drunk during a holiday?  The elf laughed, “ I don’t need a holiday to drink, a stressful day, a good day spent with the company of friends, or really any day is a good day to drink. Or, that’s how it used to be for me.I really am putting in the effort to be a sober, upstanding member of society.” The last few words were spoken with genuine emotion, no evidence of sarcasm was detectable in the shaldorei’s tone.
