Wrong time – wrong place

She suddenly woke with a start, startling the few animals that had kept her company during the night where she had re-readd the same books all over again in frantic search of the lines where the immortals had been mention. Now with her eyes open she remembered where it was she had to look – in the one book she didn't have with her and the one book she knew stood one a shelf in Numair's study. Smiling she crawled out under her blankets and giving the sleeping dragon a little caress on its head she quickly began the process of clothe herself. It was still early to up and moving, but she didn't care – it was important to find out what the new immortals were able to do. Reaching her destination, Daine knocked lightly on the door, but in vain, because after waiting in front of the door nothing happened and after knocking again, still nothing happened. She shrugged and tried to turn the handle - locked. The situation left her only one thing to do – transform and try to reach inside without being discovered. She could do it – she knew she could, but the obstacle was that it left her inside Numair's study completely naked, but – that was something she had taken into account some moths ago and if he hadn't been cleaning, and she knew he hadn't, she would have a dress laying somewhere inside the study. Tucked under the couch.

With the decision made she slowly and carefully began to transform, and the clothes she had been wearing fall to the floor. Someone would find it weird that clothes had been left out side the door to Numair's study, but inside she could always open the door an collect it.

Back in her normal form, the form of a mere thin human young woman, she turned around inside the study and knelt down, pulling an otherwise dusty dress from under the couch. Sure enough, Numair hadn't found it. Dressed in the light cotton dress she found the door to his bedchamber ajar and slowly, without wanting to make any noise she peered inside the room – finding its occupant tucked underneath a blanket sound asleep by the regular breathing she could hear. Turning to leave Nuamir sleep awhile longer, she shuffled over to the shelves filled with books. It didn't take long for her to find the right book and with it safely held against her chest she quickly move over to the couch. Sitting down and opening the book she completely forgot about her clothes laying beyond the door.

Absorbed in the book she had been sitting cross legged for a while surrounded by curly brown hair blocking any view of the room, and it wasn't until a soft sound got her so look startled up from the page she had begun reading that she found that she no longer was the only one person present. Brightly blue eyes stared shocked into hers stormy gray-blue ones and she found herself repeat the impartially horrified expression the blond woman held. Daine found her own eyes wander down the other woman's body and complete nakedness meet her eyes. Before she could do anything other then to quickly close the book laying in her lap, she head Numair's wondering voice call out to the woman if she needed guidance finding his privy.

Possible shocked to such an extent like Daine felt herself being, the woman didn't answer first. Then the door behind her was opened wider and Numair appeared. "Lily? I thought you said you needed to..." his voice froze as his dark eyes settled upon a now standing Daine, who would have crawled into the deepest mouse-hole she knew if she had the chance.

"Sorry, I didn't knew - " was the only thing she could bring herself to say as Numair, rather blushing took hold of the speechless woman and pulled her back into his bedroom. With both Numair and this, Lily, gone Daine hurried, still clutching the book to against her over to the door. She heard faintly muffled voices from the bedroom and before she got a chance to lay her hand upon the handle, a tanned hand caught her and pulled her back.

Turning her around Numair looked down at her. She could see that he had pulled on a pair of black loose trousers. "Magelet - " he began, but was interrupted by another voice, a 'Lily-voice' Daine noticed. "Don't leave" he told her and surprisingly pushed her in the direction of the couch, where she had sat.

"Yes Lily" he called back, not taking his eyes from his student as she sat herself down.

Daine could feel the blush that was threatening to burn her cheeks of. Not wanting to meet his dark eyes, she held them firmly clued to the cover of the book she had read in. Another call and Numair gave a annoyed sigh as he left her sitting, not daring to breath at all because of this embarrassing situation she found herself in. Not lifting her gaze she suddenly yet again horrified found that the muffled voices she could hear from Numair's bedchamber had become angrier and it sounded as if the woman with the flower-name was extremely dissatisfied by having her still being present in the study.

"Then leave" it sounded suddenly annoyed from Numair and Daine found herself ducking further into the couch, wishing that she could escape this embarrassing situation. Suddenly the door leading into Numair's bedchamber swung open and crashed into the wall. She found herself lifting her head from the book she had starred at, only wishing that she hadn't come into his study. She meet the bright blue eyes yet again and the other woman only growled at the sight of Daine. Startled and blushing extremely Daine shifted her gaze to the door leading into his bedchamber, only to find that Numair stood there with his arms laid across his bare chest. It didn't seem as if he was angry, she noticed, but his expression was closed.

Daine jumped as the door leading out to the corridor was being shut with extreme force, only to be opened again and her discarded clothes was thrown into the room.

This was the day Daine learned that Numair always would chose her over some sporadic meeting with a woman from court.
