Forest breeze

[Anastasia]

You rest, taking this chance to recover and mend yourself. You stir the next morning and have a bit of a slow morning, drowsing in bed an hour instead of getting up with the dawn. It's a luxury borne of victory, a chance to spend a little time with yourself. This is disrupted when there's a knock on your door. "Alyssa?" Ianvasah calls.

[Anastasia]

For my own reference:

1) New Node Things.
2) Words of Creation lesson. If that's not working out right now, then either Fleshknowers or start looking for the hidden room.

Alyssa shifts her clothes to be appropriate, but doesn't move from her lounging, "Come in "

[Anastasia]

Ianvasah enters, closing the door behind her. "You're up late this morning," she says, coming over to a nearby stack of cushions and sits.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Yes. I've been work a lot. I've earned a lazy morning. What beings you here?"

[Anastasia]

"Ruminating," Ianvasah rests back, "It was...terrifying and enlightening to see the divine personally. To see them like that, not just commanding us or guiding us, but to see them more as they naturally are."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa grimaces, "Yes. Our power is cast, but theirs... They're on a level entirely separate, it seems. I could emulate some of what they do, but match it? Out last it? Considering those two aren't as powerful as Shar, I like our odds less and less. I'll have to get this One thing figured out fast."

[Anastasia]

A slight nod back. "And more...perfection. I see now that it's an ever going journey as Io shows us." Ianvasah admits, "It's what none of us can define because we don't have it, but-!"

A moment, a connection to Ianvasah. You feel it blossoming, bolstering and powerful.

Node update, go read.

[Iron Dragoon]

Got it.

Alyssa smiles at Ianvasah, "Well, that confirms you realized something important to you. Please, continue your thought. I had one about your goal, but I want you to finish first."

[Anastasia]

"Oooh." Iavasah says, "Thank you." A bowing of her head before she goes on. Her cloak now has a faintly scaled look to it, you notice. "But that doesn't mean we can't search for perfection and try to obtain it."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods, "There are indeed less worthy ambitions. Tell me, have you thought on what might be your personal perfection?"

[Anastasia]

"I have," Ianvasah says, "I don't know what the answer is, but I have."

[Iron Dragoon]

"I've some thought on possiblities. Your nature and emulation of dragons has led me to something. Have you heard of Steel Dragons?"

"Hm." A pause, "Yes, they're dragons who usually live in humanoid and are rare," Ianvasah says, "I've heard of them a time or two."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods. "They are something I think you should study more deeply. Their life cycles might be of interest to you."
