Erica
"Acting as if lust and love are feelings that most being are equipped to clinically separate is foolish and the desires of the flesh do not vanish because of love. Its influence, no matter the potency, remains in all cases where physical attraction born from anything other than love alone is present. You may attempt to delude yourself into believing otherwise but the truth remains the truth." There was a sudden hardness to the construct's voice that made steel beams seem soft and pliable. Time was't truly an issue to the Spirit Vessel she could watch the ages fade away without a single issue yet now a sliver of impatience writhed within her.
The flare of emotion was soon replaced by a teasing emptiness that left Erica vaguely satisfied. It was good to feel something about this. It was important. "I will explain what a love devoid of distraction and dilution is like. No one is beautiful. Every creature and person no matter their form is no different than a plank of wood. Then you fall in love, and they're the most beautiful, the most handsome person you've ever seen in your life. They define beauty. They are appealing to you simply because they exist and you love them. No distraction exists. A similar form has no meaning to you. It is pure and only from the honest desires of the heart."
Oren
As the stranger left the dragon burst into black fluid and reformed back into the naked Fae. She danced across the ground over to the younger girl with sweeping movements that captured the spirits of flowing rivers before stopping right behind the younger girl with the rigidness of a thick oak. One arm wrapped itself around the girl's waist and pressed her against the Formless One as a hand played with her hair.
"Oh, that was so close, Fi-o-na. You almost fell for the easiest trick of all. You know, some of the Fae back home used to ask humans for help too. Then they hollowed them out and infested them until they turned into Thorn Knights. You shouldn't be so trusting if you can't tell what a stranger is." There was a musical lilt to Oren's voice and she sounded terribly amused by it but the warning was still clear.
Urthemiel
A moment of silence is the one chance that the Old God gave to voice any dissent. With that done she decided voice one warning. Just to prevent any unfortunate accidents that this transportation could cause. "You should all know that as I'm transporting you all your trust is required. Whatever happens refrain from struggling or making unnecessary movements. Panicking would also be remiss of you as well. I would like to avoid any unfortunate incidents." With the warning issued Urthemiel took a few steps back from the rest of the group before glowing bright. It flared once before Urthemiel increased dramatically in size and quickly faded.
In place of the mage stood a majestic high dragon. It was the epitome of grace itself. The curve of her horns, the span of her wings, and her rich, vibrant scales put any other creature to shame. Her maw opened up to reveal perfect, deadly teeth and a surge of heat escaped her throat. Then she graciously lowered herself down onto the ground so the mages could hang onto her neck. The drake would require a different approach but the humans needed to be one first. Although, if they sullied any of her scales there would be issues.
Lumen
Huh. Well Lumen couldn't say that the line of thought wasn't interesting although the tension was getting a bit too thick for her. Unfortunately, she also had almost no idea on how to defuse this kind of situation. "I don't know about that. If you're human you seem to be pretty bad at being one. People value sacrifice and giving to others a lot as well. They also have the annoying habit of questioning things they shouldn't and getting mad about things they can't change. Just seeing how basic human nature and the world is and just accepting it is more like being an animal or kid I suppose?"
