Ebony settled back and then answered mentally, 'You're not? I was just trying to help...'

"I think she might've went off to that crystal chamber," said Sapphire, "that place has become a tourist attraction of sorts, but right now it's just about a good place as any to seek solitude and think things out."

Only one from the tribe could set up such a ward, so it is pretty powerful. Any attempt to detect such would have triggered alarms. "So Phoenix was your contact?" Egill asked. He had his suspicion, but now he got confirmation. "How come she told you of this? She is pretty attached to to the humans."

"General rule of thumb," Doc began, "When considering significant changes to your appearance, is to take a copy of the graphic in question, put it up somewhere you'll be seeing it a lot, and leave it there for a while. If you still like it and want it done after seeing it every day, then you won't make a decision you'll regret later."
<<< This is standard advice from tattoo artists >>>
"Best start with something small and simple if you still want to get something right now." Ramone concurred. "Like some pinstriping." He selected a pattern book and laid it out before Raine. "These designs are simple, elegant and flattering." There were such things inside as symmetrical patterns, stylized flowers and animals, butterflies, shooting stars and sample monograms.
"Mostly ambient music and background music for cut scenes." Kendall answered. "Want to hear some?"
"Uh... hi." Snot Rod said shyly, turning foretires inward awkwardly. "Nice to see you again."
Bree went up to the LZ. "OK then." She spooled up and lifted off.
"Rationalize... yeah, that's my old man all right." Boost snorted. "Make up a justification for everything and make it everyone else's fault. I know it's all over the place, but damn, the similarities are growing every time this comes up!"
"Yes." Darcy nodded as the creatures put their forefeet on the top rails to check out the newcomer. "They're very friendly and curious, but they're also real escape artists, so their pen has to be constructed so that they can't jump out or squeeze out."

Raine frowned a little, Yeah, but the tattoo's not for me... I wanted to put in something special in dedication to my Dad..."

Ebony nodded, "Sure, I guess so. Probably take my mind off of what happened just now."
*****
"Likewise," nodded Delfina, "So, Snot Rod, right? How do you like it here so far?"
*****
Shale followed after, coming up to where Bree had just been, spooled up, and took off as well.
*****
"They seem like energetic little creatures," said Samantha, "Cute too."

"I'm convinced you have the same father." Aron said. "Ebony got a bit -" He bit clamped his teeth together as recalling her reaction. "-defensive so to speak when bringing up the DNA test. So I looked up few things. There is something with your mirrors and George's. George has some recessive trait regarding his mirrors, which stay that way when crossbreeding with some clans, such as Dodge. You both have it. Not solid, but still something."

(((Sorry for being slow, busy.)))
'Its not you I'm upset with'. Phoenix sent back. 'Its StreamLiner and me'.
~~~~~~
Kitt started to shift into gear. "Better keep away from her son." Wilton said. "Last thing you and me want is to make it worst."
Kitt sighed settled back down.
~~~~~
"Attached very much," Rodgers said. "And I know all this because I was her attorney."

Egill felt himself as if he was constantly trying to bang his hood on a brick wall hoping the latter would prevail before the first.
"Are you running out of material? No specific unique behavior from humans? No specific events that have occurred within the complex?"

'Why?' Ebony sent, 'I'm a bit confused here.'
*****
"I learned that the first time," said Sapphire, "Wait until she's cooled down enough to be rational and listen to reason again."

'For StreamLiner not telling me sooner and for me actually believing when Grayston said that they were dead'. Phoenix replied.
~~~~~
"Well at least no one's going to worry about stressing her out with her not being in term anymore." Kitt said.
~~~~~
"There's a chamber," Rodgers said. "Full of crystals. Phoenix told be once that it was linked to the human she was teaching."

Egill was interested in that. Usually such caves were in rather uninhabitable conditions, and formed in places that were far from like Colorado. "Do you know how they are linked? Is it accessible?"

Ebony blinked and sent back, 'How could you have expected StreamLiner to know for sure? It was out of both yours and his treads. I happened to be the one to figure it all out.'
*****
"Thank Chrysler for that," Sapphire said and settled down on the ground with a sigh.

"I guess." Boost turned aside to check himself out in one of the mirrors that were strategically located on the walls to relieve closed-in feelings among the mountain's inhabitants. "Probably about the only thing we got from him, because the Viper in us dominates everything else and I haven't seen anyone in the Viper lines besides Ebony who has that shape, which isn't particularly common among Eclipses either. You look at that Deputy's boyfriend when he's over here, his sideviews are like most of them, not our father's."
"Honestly, I'm stuck for words." Snot Rod admitted. "I could say "awsome" or "amazing", but that just wouldn't cover it. I never knew caves could be so big inside or look like the insides were sculpted by gods and giants, or be full of crystals like Nature's own jewel box. And I've never seen creatures that were so... fuzzy, like the sheep."
Kendall brought up the MP3 player and set the first track to play. "This is for a wilderness scene early in the game." It began with a flute solo, joined by a keyboard composition that sounded something like a glass harmonica. "There had been someone playing this glass instrument in the conservatory that I never saw or heard of before, glass with water flowing over it. They told me it was from the collection here and that it used to belong to one of the USA's national founders in their native timeline. I made some recordings of the classical music they were playing and my team were able to take audio samples from it and recreate the sound. It'll blow people's minds away when they hear it. The original source will get credit, of course."
Bree now had a chance to check out Shale's flight performance, and in general, liked what she saw, though she saw in his movement the occasional abruptness of someone who was used to navigating an urban environment with special hazards of its own. She made several swerves ahead of him, tail boom waving, an invitation to "follow the leader."
Ramone thought for a moment, then drew out some more pinstriping patterns that looked like scrolls and crests, some with additional adornments such as calligraphy or flowers with elaborate lettering. "How about "Dad" or something like that?"

Raine glanced at her father, "Any ideas, Dad? Initials... anything like that?"

'I guess...' Phoenix sent. 'I... I'm just feeling so confused... I don't know what to think anymore...'.
~~~~~~
"Wait..." Wilton said casting a glance at the pair. "Whats happened with her then?"
Kitt shifted a tire slightly on the ground.
~~~~~
"Not to sure," Rodgers said, his knowlege of magic was quite small. "I think the human channels it, and the tunnel to the chamber is off from a park-like chamber that they have."
