[i]Iso pours the milk into her chocolate.[/i]
"Sure, that would be nice."

-
The hot cocoa steams, then settles. The cup is now warm, rather then hot. Anne does the same, and takes a sip. "Mmmm. That's good." Anne pulled up a chair and sat down at a small table. Keeping her face over the drink to keep her face warm.
-
[i]Iso sat down across the table from Ann. She slowly took a sip...then jugged the whole thing. Her lips had a large line of chocolate as she smiled like a small child.[/i] "This. Is. Awesome!"
-
[spoiler]Sorry! Got caught up with ending the tourney and stuff[/spoiler] "Haha! You may need a napkin, girl." Anne handed Iso a napkin.
-
[i]Iso wiped her mouth with the napkin.[/i] "How did I not know about this before?!"
-
"Well where did you grow up? Hot chocolate is really only sold where it's cold so...."
-
[i]Iso nervously laughs.[/i] "Yeah, I guess I grew up somewhere warm." [i]Her hand shakes slightly as she raises her empty cup to her mouth.[/i]
-
Anne noticed the tremble, and realized it was best to not push the topic. "I grew up in a place much different then his you know...."
-
[i]Iso's eyes beam with curiousity and excitement. She was obviously happy with the shift away from herself.[/i] "Where did you grow up?!"
-
Anne leaned over, a clever smile on her face. "I grew up.... In a completely different realm to this one!"
-
[i]Iso leans over so she's face to face with Anne.[/i] "Tell me...."
-
Anne leaned back. Taking a sip. "Do you remember that big wall of dusk that was coating the world a month or so ago? The 'Twilight?'" The twilight had been corrupting the land for months after its appearance back in May, after the first tournament. It spread over the land, and anyone who entered had their spirit torn from their body. At least, that's what the rumour was.
-
"That must've happened just before I came here because I've never heard of it." [i]Iso sits back down.[/i]
-
[spoiler]How long has Iso been on Tatakai?[/spoiler] "Well. I'm sure many others could tell you about it. But...I was born inside the twilight. It was my home."
-
"What was it like?! Was there hot chocolate?!" [i]Iso was bouncing in her seat.[/i]
-
Anne laughed. "Sort of! Food wasn't the same as it is here. Actually, most things were rather cold. There wasn't much otherwise. See, we were basically trapped in these little pocketed islands in a separate realm. We could travel to each island through portals, but that didn't make them any less crowded. I, however. Lived on a mountain island. With my Father. ....in a Castle."
-
[i]Iso gasped.[/i] "ARE YOU A PRINCESS?!"
-
In most cases, this would be a humourous answer. But in reality, Iso was basically correct. "....Yep."
-
[i]Iso leaps across the table to hug Anne.[/i] "THAT'S AMAZING!"
-
Anne had trouble breathing with the sudden embrace. "Urk! Iso...can't...breath!"
-
[i]Iso lightens the hug just enough for Anne to breathe.[/i] "Sorry, but you're a princess!"
-
"Yep! But...it's more of a formal title now. Ya know...with all the twilight being gone and everything."
-
"That's still awesome! Wait, does that mean your home was destroyed?"
-
Anne tugged ISO's arms off of her. And she sat back down in her chair. "The realm, yes. But not it's people. See, in the end, when it was Deity, Zane and I. We defeated... You guessed it. A dragon! The dragon granted any wish. Zane wished for the twilight and the light to become so. And so it was. All the houses and villages just plopped right down onto the surface, and the curtain of twilight was gone."
-
[i]Iso sat back on her chair.[/i] "What did you and Deity wish for?"
-
"Well, we could only have ONE wish between us. Since Zane killed the dragon, he got the wish. But he did find a loophole....giving us a second. But I don't think we'll talk about that today." Anne looked at a small watch on her wrist. "Oh! Whoa! It's 11:00pm! How long have we been sitting here for?!"
