"Rosemary, I'll need rosemary, a candle, and a bowl of water that is preferably hot" Luna listed off with ease, her mind working fast as she thought of the steps that followed. The Purification wouldn't last too long; it was simple procedure but it would drain a lot of Luna's energy, especially with the high levels of dark energy.
"I will be fine in time, knowing that I have helped others," She said to Tuich, trying to do away with her concern. It was...nice to have others who worried about her than the other way around for once.

Clearing her throat and shaking away some of her nervous energy, Luna placed on her mask of determination and skill. She was doing her duty as a protector and priestess, there was no need to be frighten by old memories long passed. She was shielding others from the darkness and that was all that mattered...
"If I could have those items and a more private area to perform the purification rite, then all should be fine."

"Uh, will it hurt?" Arashi looked a bit concerned, his tail twitching slightly. He had no idea how the purification process would go, he'd never seen or heard of what Luna had explained.

"Oh." Markal said, slightly disappointed. "Well I guess it's a good thing I'm not a normal person then." He grinned at Arashi and took the cloth back after he'd cleaned his arm. "You don't have to worry bout me. A little burn like this won't take long to heal." He said flippantly.

"I'll let you get on to, er, purification. If you need a room to go to there's the spare one. You go in there," he pointed to a door on the other side of the inn. "And it's the first door on the right."

"You should still have me look at, Arashi's blood is dangerous even for someone like you." Luna suggested pointedly.
"And dispose of that cloth immediately. I suggest burning it." She added quickly before standing on her feet.

Smiling at Arashi, Luna tried her best to give him her 'it's nothing to worry about' look when he asked if it would hurt. Luna didn't normally perform such things on someone as special as him.
"You will at least experience a warming sensation but other than that nothing too painful, I can assure you." She offered in hopes that would help calm him some.

Markal blinked, a slightly surprised look on his face. He wasn't used to anyone really caring that much about him. Except his sister Tolora. She was a bit overcaring. "Uh, sure." Eh, what could it hurt to let her look at it? He extended his hand, showing her his thumb. It really wasn't anything more than a burn.

Completely lost and confused, Emily shakes her vulpine head and returns to her seat and orders a large bottle of wine.

"Oh..." Tuich says, and reaches into a pocket within her silks. After fumbling around a few moments, she frowns and begins hunting in a different pocket, with no better success. "Dammit, Tooley," she mutters under her breath as she pulls off the borrowed cloak and reaches around into what must have been a hidden pocket near the small of her back.

With a sigh of success and relief, she finally draws forth a candle and hands it to Luna. "Here. I have two more if you need them. I carry them for devotionals."

"Would either of you mind if I watched? I've never seen a purification ritual, and I'd like to learn."

Arashi nodded, and couldn't help smiling back. "Okay, then. I trust you. Let's do that as soon as possible."

(ooc: sorry for small reply, I have to go to my school soon for open house, so ye...business )

(this RP is still open yes? Do you all care if I join in?)

(Yes you can)

(can I ask for a short rundown on what is currently happening in the tavern? I don't want to intrude on any plot points which I'm not welcomed in.)

(alright, thanks, here goes nothing.)

A portal suddenly appears on the ceiling of the Tavern, nothing happens for a moment but then, a person in a blue hooded cloak falls out of it and slams onto a table and slides off of it, landing face first on the ground, the portal evaporates. The person groans. "...This isn't Everfall for sure..."

Tuich's head snapped around at the sudden commotion, and her jaw dropped.

"So that's what it looks like from the destination side," she mused quietly.

She started to go see if the fallen figure was alright. But then she considered the unknown-to-her dangers in this place, and decided to wait a few heartbeats.

(OOC @Warper: Welcome aboard! At least Tuich had the courtesy to phase in over an empty field. ;o) Though why they don't put those portals at ground level, I'll never understand. :op )

The person continues to lay on the floor, holding his head and grumbling, trying to recover from what felt like being slammed up against a tree... face first of course.

(OOC : well, when a portal forms across the universe, it's kinda hard to tell what orientation it will be in unless you're on the same planet or plain the exit portal's going to be on. (infact, it's possible to get gravity locked between an entrance and exit portal if one's facing up, and the other down. now that would be embarrassing.) )

A cloaked woman who at first glance looked like a normal human casually strolled into the tavern and sat at a random spot that was not taken. After she sat she began to silently ponder what she should do and how she could impress the folks hanging out at this tavern and even more importantly if she should even try. Some folks really did not like strange things and were willing to do the harshnest things in response.

The sudden arrival of a portal and another mysterious and hooded patron, drew Luna's attention. Her eyebrows raised in slight amusement and confusion, Luna blinked as if to clear her vision. But when her eye lids fluttered back open, the figure was still on the floor, groaning in pain. It seemed that the Purification rite would probably have to wait.
"Markal, I'll need that room on standby and both you and Arashi in there before sunset..." She uttered, before making her way towards the blue hooded figure.

"Sir? Are you alright?" She asked, bending down to his level to offer help. Even if he had fallen out of a portal, which was definitely a peak of interest, he was definitely going to be injured from a fall like that one.

After a while of being in the tavern, Swirly Carnation notices a commotion between a group of folks with some who were injured and one whom had appeared out of nowhere. She smiles, this is her chance she thinks to herself as she get up and approaches the group.

"How is it going today?" she asks them not reallly bothered by the strange situation. This may be something she had never seen before but if didn't mean she would go 'ooh' and 'aw' and make a big commotion. She preferred just acting like it was normal and see how things play out. Whether the reaction positive or negative not even she knew.
