Tristen runs up stairs passing the help as he did while carrying the food for Esmee, when he makes it to the room he sees Esmee sitting on the floor with her eyes close in some kind of a trance. Tristen walks up to Esmee bending down to see if anybody was home "Good mourning, I brought you some breakfast" he said putting the food down in front of her.

Esmee opened one of her eyes then both when she saw breakfast. "Goodmorning Tristan. Thank you." she reached a hand for the bag. He seemed irritated, why, she did not know. Esmee stood and went to the bed and opened the napkin, she happily ate the first bites then slowed down enough to ask. "Is everything alright?"

Tristen goes to his closet grabbing his fencing gear turning to answer Esmee "Yes, my mother as planned a very fulfilling day out for me, I have fencing then...A date with my soon to be wife" he said sighing as he pulls out the last of his gear. This was really not what he wanted to do today, but while he was here he might as well ask Esmee what he could "You know I use to hear rumors about some creatures in the forest being able to changes themselves into humans for a short period of time, are you one of them?"

The bread she had lifted to her mouth froze. Her eyes stared at him for a moment, before lowering her hand. The reason she was looking for the Starlight's Kiss, the fallen peace of the one thing that mattered...the reason that all of the beast looked for it. So that they could finally be normal, not outcast, human. She looked down and sat her napkin to the side. "There are those that true only can for a short time. Then there are those that do when certain means are met. Like me." She moved off the bed and stood in front of him.

Esmee didn't know why she was sharing this with him, but he had been so kind to talk to her. To not avoid her and treat her like everyone else. She moved around him in a circle. "Say that your earth," She kept moving. "And I am the moon." She reached out a hand to him, not touching, but close. "During the time the moon is closest to the earth is when most of the beast have to change. There is no choice." Now she took her hand back.

"Now there is another planet between here and the moon." She stood closer to him, "Now this is what the beast call the Starlight planet. Humans can't really see it however there are a few that can. It has sort of a purple hue to it." She began a slower circle around him, her head down as she spoke. "When this planet lines up with earth and the moon all at once," She stopped to face him directly."Is when I will change for two days."

Tristen doesn't take his eyes off Esmee for an instant as she walks around him explaining how the creatures like her can turn human for a while under certain conditions are meet, "You really have a way with words Esmee" Tristen aid with his eyes still on her smiling even after the story was done. Esmee talked about a planet more close to earth then the sun was and how only certain people could see it, he lived hear his entire life not seeing anything like that, so he figured he must not have been one of those people.

Tristen sat putting on his gear very slowly as he spoke with Esmee "So when this planet lines up with the moon you'll be human for two days, when will these planet line up with the moon?"

She shook her head. "Right now I am Im my human form. Or as close to it as I can." she watched him put on his stuff. "Where are you going to do with all of that?" she asked picking up some of the things he was putting on. "You really wear all of these things?" she didn't know how he was going to move properly with it weighing him down.

"Its not as heavy as it looks, its just small pads here and there that I need for fencing class" Tristen said grabbing his knee pads from Esmee, throwing on all of his gear took a lot long then it should have even though it some point Tristen figured his mother would be beating down the door.

"You know, the only thing that gives you away from appearing off as really human is your ears" he said walking around her to eying her up and down "with a hat and beautiful dress no one would think anything other wise...How about you to dinner to night?"

"Actually I have my tail hidden. That part is easier to hide. But you do have a point just if I were to wear one and it came off how would I explain myself." she looked down at the ragged clothes and wandered if she even had a nice dress to wear. She had never been concerned about her appearance anyway."But dinner sounds nice. I could try."

"Alright, that sounds good" Tristen says grabbing his helmet that looked like a fancy bees net, he was expecting Esmee to back out right away after hearing all the things he complained about his mother. "Well I'll be back in about an hour, if you want you could can take the money I have in my dresser drawer and get yourself a new dress and I'll meet you later" he said backing towards the door.

"Just so you know my mother will be at dinner and weather your human or no she wont like you as much, if I don't see you till tonight happy shopping" Tristen said before closing the door heading down the stairs

She didn't want to take his money, though she waved a slow goodbye to him as he left. She had in mind one dress in particular but she hadn't worn it in a while. Esmee found a way out of the house without being seen. The morning was still young and she was still wondering why she had gotten herself into this situation at all. She made it her house without incident.


(Sorry for short posts. Im using my phone lol)

Fencing class was like it always is just him and Arthur. Arthur is the man that his mother was trying to turn him into, he's sophisticated, well mannered, and charming even though he is as old as the day is long. Fencing to Tristen was some what of a boor from time to time, but it was the only way to relieve steam from dealing with his life.

"That will be all Tristen" Arthur said saluting Tristen as they finished there class "I was suppose to be your chaperone to your date with Miss Chanray, your mother informs me that I don't have to...I don't have to do I Tristen?"

"No teacher you don't, I promised my mother I would be there and I will" Tristen says taking off his helmet "I will be a picture perfect gentlemen like my father all day and especially at dinner tonight, I've invited a friend, shes can't wait to come"

"She...?" Arthur says taking off his pads "You've invited a girl to dinner with your mother, Tristen I understand you like to push Ms. Godfreys buttons but-"

"This has nothing to do with my mother, I like this girl teacher and her meeting my family now not including my father of course is the best thing" Tristen says as he heads towards the door "This stays between us of course, there is a such thing as student teacher confidentiality". Tristen leaves the fencing hall heading straight to his room opening the door to find no Esmee in sight, he smiles and then sighs remembering that he has a date.

Her house was a tree, well it built inside a huge tree. The flowers that bloomed pink and lavender was blossoming in groves and groups along the trunk of the enormous tree and Esmee loved the way it made it smell. Like the first day of spring. Walking into her house she headed straight for her room which was a straight shot from the kitchen.

In her closet hung a dress she had held many times before, but never worn. It was a simple gown with pale pink and white roses that splayed out of the right hip and spread evenly down the long soft cotton dress.
Taking off her clothes and stepping into the new outfit she glanced at the mirror hanging from a vine. Then she braided her hair and put on one hat that matched, like a summer hat all the ladies now wore to block the sun from their sensitive skin.

Turning around she examined herself then stopped to stare at herself. Shaking her head and muttering to herself about how this was getting too far off track and that she shouldn't do this. But... she looked back at the mirror. It was past due for a break and maybe even, she would fit- no. Humans do not enjoy the company of those they do not understand. Esmee would have to stay quiet and try not to get too involved in human society.

She thought this as she walked out of the house and taking a deep breath started towards the woods. Esmee would meditate before going to his house again. To keep herself from doing something she should have never started in the first place. Maybe this would all get fixed tonight.

(Sorry bout replying so late)

Tristen gets undress and jumps into the shower washing himself from head to toe, he figured he would should be the perfect gentlemen to Miss Chanray despite the rumors he heard about her. There was nothing exceptionally bad about Miss Chanray that came to Tristens ears, rumors were rumors and in his world the only reason some would make a rumor was to tear that person down and take there place, that was one of the reasons why Tristen hated his privileged yet predictable life.

Tristen jumps out of the shower getting dressed immediately, he got dressed slowly looking over every button, strap and buckle. Walking down the stairs he could hear the horse carriage stopping in front of the house, he was surprised his mother didn't pull the car around, it would have been just her style.

Getting in the carriage Tristen sat there to himself looking out the window, he should have been thinking about his date with Ms Chanray, but the only thing that ran through his mind was Esmee. The thought of seeing her tonight made him happy though he knew seeing her now would make him even happier, "Excuse me driver do you mind if we make a quick detour" Tristen leaning screaming to to driver. The driver turned towards the woods stopping just outside of it "I'll be back in just awhile" Tristen said after leaving the driver, he had never been completely in the woods alone before and Tristen knew he should be here without Esmee, so he just followed the path he was on the other night hoping it leads somewhere.

It had been several hours since she left her house. She still wore the dress so she would be ready when the time came to leave for the dinner she was invited to. That was until she heard the loud and unbalanced footsteps. She knew at once it wasn't a beast. Must be a foolish human attempt to explore their realm. They were not of her concern anyway.

Tristen walked through the woods feeling the hundreds of eyes on him and feeling that none of them were human, he walked for what felt like and hour even though it was a couple of minutes. After awhile of walking Tristen could almost see a house through all the darkness "That must be Esmees hous-" he said after getting cut off by a creature screaming behind him while running. Tristen ran towards the house not caring who's it was as long as it was away from the creature, he opens the door locking it behind him throwing his back on it. The creature pounds on the door none stop vibrating the entire house.

Esmee's head turned sharply towards her house before quickly getting up a mere second later, running to see who would be trying to tear it down. What she didn't expect however was the beast to be pounding the door so hard. "Excuse me." She spoke, but it didn't seem to hear her so this time she yelled at it. In which it turned around to look at her.

A moment of surprise was on it's face before coming towards her. "Human. Woods. Bad." She nodded, but still didn't register until a second later that the 'human' was inside 'her' home. "Thanks, I got it." It nodded, but seem reluctant to leave. Esmee would be smelling the stench of the thing for weeks around her yard now. She turned the knob and realizing it was locked, took out her own key and opened the door.

As the pounding on the door stops almost immediately Tristen pushes himself off the door and backs up into the house knocking a couple of things over as he did still shack in up by the monster. Tristen heard a key go into the lock and without thinking he grabs the closet thing he could find using it as a weapon, he grabs a brush holding it over his head waiting for the door to open.

When it finally did the last person he thought to come thru that door did "Hello Esmee" he said seeing her brush over his head putting it down right away "You said not to come here without you and I believe you were very right"

She stood there almost in shock at who was in her home. Esmee stepped into the building and didn't really know what to say to him being here. Whether she should be happy he was or if she should be upset with him for coming into the forest without her guidance. "Why have you come to the forest by yourself. You could have been killed or worse." she came closer to him and inspected him in case he may have acquired any kind of scratches or injury. They alone could cause death here. Seeing none she went into the kitchen area and leaned on the counter folding her arms in thought.

Tristen watched as Esmee walked to the kitchen folding her arms in anger, he stood up dusting himself off and walk into there with her "Your mad and you have every right to be Esmee, but I wanted to see you before I went and meet Ms Chanary I couldn't wait until tonight" he said looking at Esmee. While looking at Esmee, Tristen realized what she was wearing "Esmee that dress looks unbelievable on you, I had no idea you could look this beautiful"

She had all but forgotten the dress she still wore. Looking down she hid the slow blush that kept up to her face at the complement. "It's nothing but an old dress. Nothing quite as beautiful as the dresses the elves make and not as expensive either...." she trailed off.

"You look handsome yourself today. Still." she looked up at him again. "You know where I live now. So we should leave before we are late." Her smile was small but genuine as she slowly turned, her dress following her every movement as she made her way to the door frame that led to the living room and to the door. "Next time you come, use the key. It will be locked next time. It's hidden in a hollow the roots have created."
