Sally looked at Mara then gave a simple shrug as she went downstairs to tell Ashigaera to make the arrangements with Ash to deal with Morrigan's ice abilities. Mara simply went on inside the room and found Samirra in her aunt's room with the roses. Mara knew what they were, though they were so very rare by now. But Sebastet knew what they were and had told Mara about them. She walked over and knelt next to the girl, "Those are Remembrance Roses, or Memory Roses. Sebastet told me about them. They're supposed to help you remember those you've lost, letting you keep them with you forever because these roses never die. They're always modeled after the wild rose, or the Briar Rose. It's a very hardy rose and almost impossible to kill. But they have a very beautiful scent. I think there's a few bushes of them in the back of the garden, where Sebastet keeps some of the plants wild," she said softly, hoping that the explanation helped the girl. After a moment of silence, she brushed a lock of Samirra's hair back and offered her a smile, "What do you think about exploring the garden for a bit today? Get out in the sunshine for a little bit?" she asked her as Sally came back upstairs with a basket of the clothes Ashigaera had arranged for. "Look at all of these! Ashigaera had Rose go through the store rooms and found all of these. Some are for Morrigan, but most are for Samirra here. I think some of them used to be Blades, but her style was so timeless that it's hard to say..." she called out as she went into Samirra's room and started setting out clothes over the bed. There were so many styles to choose from and were all geared towards play that it wasn't going to be hard to pick something out...

Samirra
Samirra looked back toward Mara when she heard the woman speak. "I know what they are," she stated softly. "I didn't get to learn much about my culture, but Daddy told me that he wanted to make sure that I at least learned about the roses. He said that Sebastet would be able to fill in everything else if anything happened to him, but that her clan didn't do the roses. He said that it was important for me to know about them so that the tradition could go on." She stared at the roses for a moment. "He made me watch when he made them. Told me to remember it as much as I could." She shook her head a bit. "I don't think that I should be able to remember it as clearly as I do. I think that Daddy did something so that I could remember how to make them later."
She smiled a bit when Mara pushed a lock of her hair back and asked what she thought about exploring the garden. "Sounds like fun! I had so much fun in the garden yesterday. I can't wait to explore it more today." She jumped up and down a bit from excitement when Sally returned with the basket of clothes. She'd never had more than the clothes on her back and a spare set or two, so suddenly having so many choices was exciting for her.
She moved to head towards her own room and paused as she found the note that Morrigan had dropped. She picked it up and looked it over with a curious expression. She blinked in surprise at what the note contained. She knew that her father had cared deeply for Morrigan, but she had never guessed that he was so deeply in love with her. She suddenly understood why her aunt had bolted from the room. The note mentioned a bow that would be with her forever, a bow that was nowhere in sight. That meant that her aunt had likely already found it, leading to her emotional breakdown. She was about to put the note down when she noticed the instructions for the two roses that she had found. It seemed that one of them belonged to her, and the other was meant for Sebastet. She moved back out of Morrigan's room and over to her own while Sally was setting out clothes. "Could I see Sebastet soon? My Daddy made one of these roses for her. I want to give it to her."

Sally and Mara smiled at her, "Certainly... But later. For now, you need to get out in the sunshine for a bit. Later tonight, I hope to introduce you to one of your teachers. He takes a bit of getting used to, but he's on a nighttime schedule. Which means that you get to play in the garden until then and learn about the plants there," Mara said simply then gestured to the clothes on the bed. All of them were a bit more coverage than she needed, but several of them were basics that would do for now. Even now, Sally knew Ashigaera was sending the order to the leathersmith about proper Hylarr clothing for Samirra. The measurements were set and Sebastet had the instructions set for making clothes for children all laid out in a separate book for the leathersmith to use... They both knew that this was something big for the girl, but also knew that getting outside would be so good for her...

Samirra
Samirra smiled happily when Sally and Mara said that she could go give Sebastet the rose later. She looked over to the clothes that had been laid out for her as Sally and Mara mentioned that they hoped to introduce her to one of her teachers later that night, since he was apparently on a nighttime schedule. She seemed pleased by the mention of her getting to play in the garden and learn about the plants. She was definitely thrilled about the idea of getting to play in the garden.
She thought about the clothes on the bed, unsure of what she should wear. She thought about it for a moment before she finally looked over to Sally and Mara again. "I'm not sure what I want to wear," she said. "I've never really had any options before. It's hard to decide." She gave the two women a sweet smile. "Will you help me pick something good for playing in the garden and meeting my teacher? I want to make a good impression."

Sally smiled back at her then got on her knees and tapped her nose, "It's all up to you, Sweetheart. They want to meet you, not what you think they want. You can choose what you like to wear," she told her softly, hoping that she understood. Mara knelt with her as well, "I will say that you're going to be in the garden, in the sunshine. After a bit, you're going to get warm, so you might want to dress cool. You won't be meeting your other teacher until tonight. For today, it's just playtime in the sunshine," she explained, hoping that it would help her decide. Sally gave a nod, "I think you'll like Cain, though. He's pretty funny most of the time. He's really smart, but he can be clumsy. I once saw him in the library, just walking through it. And he tripped on thin air. And he never pays attention to what he's wearing so it's always interesting. He's very old too," she described him, making sure to point out that none of them would care what she wore, as long as she was herself.

Samirra
Samirra giggled a bit when Sally tapped her nose and listened carefully to what she had to say. She thought carefully about what she was saying, trying to think about what she would want to wear. She knew that she would get hot if she picked some of the options, and Sally had just eased her mind about making a good impression.
She gave a quick nod and turned to look over the options that had been laid out for her. She eventually picked an outfit and took a moment to get dressed. Once she was dressed, she looked into a nearby mirror to see how she looked. She had picked an option that would leave her cool in the sun, but the choice actually matched her fur pattern fairly well. She took a moment to move around a bit, making sure that her pick wouldn't be restrictive in any way if she wanted to do a bit of running or climbing.
She turned back to them with a smile. "How do I look?" she asked, giving a bit of a twirl to fully show off her outfit. She was clearly excited again, both about the new clothes and about getting to go play in the garden again. She hadn't gotten to do a lot of playing on the way to the island, so she was excited to really get to have fun. She loved the garden already, and she was really excited to get to explore it fully.

Both women helped her into the shorts, altered to allow for her tail, and tanktop then smiled at her, "You look adorable, Samirra," they both told her, then Mira sat down and pulled Samira's back to her so that she could braid her hair back for her. Sally moved to put the rest of the clothes in the closet and dresser, "You won't need shoes since you're going into the garden. Ashigaera and Lydia are working on getting you the special boots and shoes that Sebastet and Bast wear. They're better for your feet than ours are. I'm not sure when you'll get to meet Bast, but it should be soon. I think you'll like her. I think she said she was a black cougar," she explained as Mira gently worked the girl's hair back into place then tied it off. Mira got to her feet and offered a hand with a smile, "Come on. You can worry about all of that later. For now, you need the sunlight and to explore the garden," she said simply, encouraging her to move on out of the suite and down into the garden.

Samirra
Samirra smiled happily when the two women told her that she looked adorable. "I'm glad you think so!" she said excitedly. She was quite jumpy and fidgety from excitement, so it took a moment for her to stop bouncing up and down as Mira pulled her back to her. She was confused at first but quickly figured out that the human woman was braiding her hair back for her, something that got her to go still for a moment as she remembered a few moments when Morrigan or Jasker had braided her hair on the road to the island. That actually brought a few tears to her eyes that she quickly wiped away, hoping that the two women hadn't noticed.
She quickly shifted her attention to Sally's explanation, grateful for the distraction from the memories of her father. "I can't wait to meet her. Other than my daddy and Sebastet, I haven't gotten to meet any other Hylarr. I know there aren't a lot of us left, so I'm excited to get to meet more." She took Mira's hand and jumped up after her hair was tied off. "Getting to spend time in the garden will be fun. Let's go!' She excitedly followed the women out of the suite, heading for the garden.

Morrigan
Morrigan led Voss through the castle, ignoring the strange looks that she got on the way. She didn't care how odd it looked for a golden-skinned woman wearing only a shirt to be leading an unknown man through the castle. She was focused on what she needed. She eventually led Voss into the tower and took him up to the floor with the suite that Sebastet had given to her and Samirra. She didn't allow him to look around for long before she was pulling him into her bedroom and closing the door.
She gave him a mischievous grin. "Sorry about the rush, but it would be a bit awkward if someone ran into us here before we dealt with my issue," she said. "I wouldn't really care in the slightest, but I wouldn't exactly be the one dealing with the issue. The other Morrigan, the one that's in control the majority of the time, would be rather upset if I did anything that could possibly embarrass her." She stepped in closer, her skin putting off even more heat. "But that's enough about that. Since you offered to help her, you can have a long conversation with her about those things later. For now, I think that you and I have other things to do."

Voss was constantly looking around as they walked to the tower noting the many looks they garnered as they went, noting that there was plenty of them more looking at him and what he was wearing than anything. When they finally arrived at the tower Voss couldn’t help but notice the familiar scents, one Jenny and the other Lien, why they were here he didn’t know but he would have to inquire later when time allows. When they arrived at the room and Morrigan pulled him into the bedroom he couldn’t help but smiled as she spoke and just nodded “that’s fine, there’s no rush” Voss wrapped his arms around her waist and continued “let’s see about helping you through this heat of yours” he raised a hand to her right cheek and placed it there before he pulled her into a kiss without much thought to it. For what seemed like days he wasn’t sure, Voss woke up with Morrigan by his side, it had been a long time since he had been with someone and longer still since the wolf within had been sated of a desire neither him nor his wolf thought would ever happen, the demonic blood that flowed through his veins felt hot but nothing he hadn’t dealt with before, his mixed blood always had that reaction after something like this, and admittedly the easiest way to cool off was always to simply spar with his kin, which brought his mind back to the reason why there were two of his kin here to begin with. His arm was gently wrapped around Morrigan as he held her close to him, his gear had been scattered about the room when that happened, he had no way of knowing considering the whole affair was only a blur after things took off. Voss smiled lightly as he thought about how he would help Morrigan, the whole thing wasn’t something that could simply be controlled overnight but it wasn’t something that he knew could be allowed to run rampant which if any of the dogs of war were anything to compare with would be a rough battle without the conditioning that they received, though considering how little he knew of the conditioning he would have to utilize old fashion methods, which was simply giving her someone to learn from and give her the tools to attune with her demonic blood. As they laid there, Voss let his senses go as his breathing slowed his eyes changed before he closed them and probed the surface of the woman he shared a bed with getting a feel for the blood that coursed through her vein and finding it unique in nature which had him wondering what she would be capable of once she was able to learn control of that side of her. His eyes returned to normal as he opened them, taking on an orange red look to them, not quite wolf but neither demon, it was what became of him when Voss became a hybrid, but that too would eventually fade and allow for a more normal eye color.

Morrigan
Morrigan maintained her grin as Voss slipped his arms around her waist. She enjoyed the kiss he pulled her into, the demonic side allowing the need to fully take her over. Unlike Morrigan's normal self, her demon wasn't remotely shy or embarrassed. She didn't hesitate to return his kiss. But she did take a few measures to ensure that there wouldn't be a possibility of being interrupted. Once she was released from that kiss, she simply held out a hand and caused a sheet of ice to form that would block the door, revealing that her demonic side had much better control of her ice. After that, she allowed him to take full control of her again.
Morrigan woke up in his arms, letting out a slight purr of happiness as she noticed the situation. Her skin was no longer brilliant gold or hot, but it still held a slight golden tone that revealed that her demon was still in control for the moment. She stretched a bit and relaxed against him, simply enjoying herself. "Well, you certainly know how to show a girl a good time," she said, grinning again. "Ash was fun and all when he handled the first night of our heat, but I certainly prefer your style. It's far more wild and fun. I think that I'll have a few nice marks for a bit. And I know that every part of me enjoyed our time."
She continued to relax for a bit, enjoying the fact that Morrigan wasn't trying to claw back control. It seemed like every part of her was relaxed and feeling pretty good right now. As she relaxed with him, she considered things for a moment. "So, what would you like to do now that you've taken care of my heat? We could get something to eat. The kitchen makes some wonderful food. Or you could do whatever else you like. There are plenty of options here."

Voss smiled as he listened to Morrigan and when she inquired on what he would like to do, he had to think a moment before he replied “well, why don’t we get something to eat and go from there” he didn’t really care to much what they did since he was really only there for Morrigan, the display showed already told him that there were elements that needed to be addressed and reigns handed back to those who actually needed to hold them, fortunately if Jenny and Lien is here they’d likely be able to assist in the process of helping Morrigan in her abilities and blood. Even as they talked Lien was being moved to the room which dancer used to use, Lien’s eyes were still glossy even after everything that was done, the conditioning threatened to regain control of her mind, which would have likely been unforeseen by anyone, the conditioning conducted on them all was severe but more so with the females on the pack. Ashigaera and Lidia having sensed the magic in the tower knew that there was likely only one person who’d be using and that was Morrigan. Lidia had wolf’s arm on her shoulder as she helped Lien move up the stairs which was a considerable task since she wasn’t really in any condition to be moving, Lidia understood the need to move her to the room, but she had to wonder if keeping her locked up would be a better option. Ashigaera grinned as she picked up on what Lidia was thinking and looked at her “I wouldn’t worry to much we’re more than capable of handling a wolf gone berserk” Lidia sighed and replied “I know, but still I would rather not put the entire castle at risk until I know for sure that she won’t turn on us first chance she got” Ashigaera shrugged as she stopped in front of the door and replied while opening the door “it is what it is, if we have to forcibly restrain our guest it won’t be hard to place her in an ice prison” Lidia nodded as she went inside the room and moved Lien over to the bed putting her on it with some difficulty before she sighed again rubbing sweat off her forehead with her hand and walked back over to the door closing it as she left the room and considered a moment whether or not she should lock the door but decided against that since the wolf likely wouldn’t find it all that difficult to break the door down or burst through a window.

Morrigan
Morrigan listened to Voss talk about what he wanted to do, still looking quite relaxed and content. "Getting something to eat sounds like a good start to me," she said. "But that brings up another question for you. Do you want to go to the kitchen to get something to eat, or would you prefer to have something brought up to the room for us?"
As she waited for his answer, she sat up and stretched. She made a few more pleased noises and looked over toward the door, noticing the slab of ice still blocking it. She simply grinned again as she reached out a hand and caused the ice to start to melt. "It'll take at least a few minutes before the ice melts enough to unblock the door, so we're stuck in here for a bit longer. In the meantime, the two of us could talk a bit. I'm usually locked up in her head, so I don't really get to have conversations. It could be nice. You could ask me any questions you may have for me. I'll answer honestly. I have nothing to hide." Her grin turned teasing. "Or we could go another round while we wait. It's up to you. I have no preference."

Voss considered for a moment what to ask her but ultimately really only a couple of questions came to mind and simply looked at Morrigan in the eyes “well I’ve only got a couple of questions at the moment, how did this happen to you, for me and the others we had all consumed demon blood while in wolf form, and as a result are at different degrees as hybrids” Voss paused as he gave her a kiss on the lips and then got up to get dressed. While putting his uniform back on he continued “the other question is what you hope to achieve by the level of training you’ll likely receive in order to be whole?” Voss was straightforward about his questions, but it was so he could gauge the person and see what was needed in order to help teach her what he thought would likely need in order to control the power she likely had, but also give her the means to control it.

Morrigan
The demonic Morrigan watched Voss as he considered what to ask, wondering what questions he would come up with for her. Her grin finally disappeared when he asked her how she had become like this. She gave a simple shrug when she heard his second question. "I'll answer your questions in order," she said. "The first one is a rather painful subject. Our mother was part demon, so Morrigan is partly demonic as well. She just didn't really show any signs of having inherited any demonic traits. She and our niece were grabbed by a group of demons while fleeing from hunters a few years ago. The hunters tried to do horrific things to her, and she shifted and tore them apart. She consumed incredible amounts of demon blood as she tore into them, and I was the result." She paused as she watched him getting dressed, debating if she should tell the full story. She'd told him that she had nothing to hide, and that was mostly true. She didn't really want to hide things from Voss. But she needed to be careful about what information could get back to the Morrigan that was in control the majority of the time.
She finally sighed and got up to find something to put on. "The answer to your second question is easier. She hopes to gain control and figure out who she can be. She doesn't really know how to live her own life without it being defined by anyone else, so she wants to learn. What I want is simple as well, but far more difficult in execution. I want to be part of her like I'm supposed to be. I want her to accept herself and actually learn to love herself. I'm hoping that becoming whole in the way you can teach her will be enough to help her with that. It would make a good start, at least."
She found one of her bags and found a simple pair of jeans and a white shirt and slipped them on before turning back. "There is something important that is going to have to be addressed at some point. She's repressed a lot of pain and trauma. She'll have to work through it all if she ever wants to be whole. Her wolf is calmed down for the first time in years, and I'm much more clear now that our heat is done. We'll be here to help, but there's only so much we can do from inside her head. You'll have a lot of work ahead of you. I'm sorry that we're having to put so much on you, but we don't really have many options."
