Ierys blushed. Afraid of my father... no. Im not afraid. "Correction, a wolf learing at me like im a prostitute scared me."
She sighed and brought her hands in front of her, fiddling with the GEM. "It's complicated, ok?"

"Well, I got all night." He states, tapping his foot. "Why don't you start at the beginning and when you reach the end... Stop." He waits, obviously not wanting to drop this till he gets a reasonable answer.

"Then I'll give you the condesed version, skip all the childhood memories and such." She said, laughing synically. "You wont beleive me but here goes. I was born...somewhere else. On a different world, and then that world was destroyed in some war or other, and my parents took me and became nomads, travelling from world to world. To do that, my father invented this." Ierys held up her hand, showing him the GEM. "But because I was so young when he made them, mine has this special thingymajig...well anyway it meant only my father could put in the access codes and everything. And then one day, we get some weird rupture thing in the middle of a 'jump' and I end up somewhere near Limblum while my parents....well, I dont know. Thats how I met Lillith, seriously I was a mess when she did find me, id been walking for days." Ierys laughs at the memory. "And then on our way here we got attacked by the Hir..the Hir.... uh.. this Pirate ship, totally forgot the name. And Shaft got really mad and starting driving like a loon. Then I must have hit my hand or something cos the device activated and I ended up on Vincents ship. Which kinda caused havoc, I didnt help matters by trying to run. And then I met you. Then this happened.....That everything?"

"So... you're a stranger in a strange land." Clive rolls his eyes and sighs. "Well, that makes a little more sense. Ok fine, you're lost and trapped in this god-forsaken plane and you have this 'Sliders' thing going on. So now you're trying to figure out how to 'leap' home or something?

Ierys shook her head. "Not quite, for one thing, there isnt a 'home' to leap to. And Im way farther than we've ever been before, so basically, Im stuck." She sighed again and smiled up at him. "But, whatever, I'll just go with the flow for now."

"Well, I imagine you want to find your family? I mean here you are trapped in this foreign realm, I'd want out. Is Lillith going to help you get back or what?"

Ierys thinks for a moment, swaying from side to side. "I never asked her... Besides I'm actuay pretty useless, so even if I did figrue out a way to look for them, I might be better off just waiting.."

"You give up way to easily, if I had your train of thought, I'd of been dead long ago." Clive states matter-of-factly with a condescending eye. "And you're hardly useless, that little trick of yours got us out of a tight situation." He jangles his staff, the dark lanterns clanking together. "That last spell I did drained me, we were as good as toast."

"Yeah but...that was an accident..." Ierys walked over to a wall and leant against it, letting herself slide down into a sitting possition. Then said in a quiet voice "Besides...I'm not sure I wanna leave"

Clive approaches, making a rhythmic tap with the butt of the staff against the stone surface. "An why not? They're your family, no one here has that to say about themselves. Certainly means more then Lillith, myself or anyone could be. Why would you want to leave that behind forever?" He kneels down in front of her, the staff supporting, left knee against the ground, right forming and angle.

Ierys hugged her knees. "I love my parents, I do... But its hard, never knowing anyone but them, never settling down. All I've seen in my life is the different rooms of different Inns." She looked beseechingly at Clive "Woudlnt you want something different to that? Just for a little while?"

"Home is wherever your head rests but family never changes. That's one thing you can always count on and shouldn't abscond to so easily with any secret evasion." He lightly pats her knee with his right hand. "That much I have learned from my travels."

"Your probably right" Ierys said with a laugh, faking a smile. "Papa always did say I was a bit to stupid for my own good.."

"Just inexperienced, hardly stupid." Clive says with light hearted bravado. "Tomorrow, we'll see about getting you reunited and hey, who says we can't have some hijinks on the way!?" He stands, offering her his hand to lift her from the ground. "Sound good?"

Ierys smiled, a pure geniune smile that made her eyes sparkle. "Sounds good." She agreed, taking Clives hand.

"Excellent!" He quickly looks around for a moment. "Alright, we best break now before anyone hears us. Sure someone will figure out something is amiss with that wall, best not be around when they do. Get back to your room before your roomie notices you're gone... same goes for me..." He frowns. "He's such a buzz-kill... Anyway, I'll see you in the morning."

Ierys laughed. "Sooner than you think" she said, pointing out to where the sun was just breaking over the horizon. "God, out all night....I hope Serena isnt hyper in the mornings, I dont think I could stand that." Without letting go of Clives hand she starts walking towards the dorms. "come on, lets at least pretend we've slept."

Clive appears down trodden upon seeing the sun breaking over the horizon. "Oh man... not cool." He sighs as Ierys takes his hand and guides him away. "Well, suppose that'll have to do, blame it on airship lag." He pauses in thought for a brief moment. "Wonder when breakfast is...?"
((Alright, outa here, going to be gone most of tomorrow and probably most of sunday so dont get toooo far ahead of me. Lillith you can auto Clive a little if need be for the sl, Ierys you can move him along from point a to b.))

((Roger that Cap'n ;D))
Ierys shook her head. Thinking of his stomach, typical guy. When they reached the dorms Ierys said goodnight and wandered off to her room. Upon entering she found the blue book on her bed. I'll need to thank Simon, hes a sweet kid. She picked the book up and bit her lip, thinking for a moment, before hiding it under the matress and curling up on the bed for the little sleep she would receive that night.

(OOC: Oh so there is more to Clive than what he shows us. I wonder what happened to his family. We'll just have to find that out in-story)
::That morning in the Dining hall, Garret and Serena can't help but notice their companions are considerably quieter than yesterday. Ierys and Clive found much to their dismay that both their roomates are morning people, which doesn't help their lack of sleep in the slightest::
Serena: Something up you guys?
Garret: Clive said they have airship lag.
::Serena quickly flicks Garret's forehead::
Serena: Bull. Come on you guys, what's really going on. You can tell us.
