With a worried frown, Cara lowered her gaze, a rarity for her and nibbled thoughtfully at her lower lip. What would really be the best way to put it? She supposed she cold just blurt it out but that seemed so...harsh, she decided. Taking a deep breath she forced her gaze back up slowly meeting his.
"Gabriel...I'm...well.." breaking off she mentally kicked herself, but lowered her gaze once more as she spoke quickly.
"I'm pregnant." she said in a low whisper...too low, Gabriel probably hadn't heard her. But she did get it out..it was a start..right?

After watching the two walk into the lounge, a small smile curls her lips as she steps forward, approaching Jigsaw. She had met him on her first day in the castle and enjoyed his presence quite a bit, even if she had been shaky that first day due to the previous events prior to her even stepping foot into the castle. The face of the man that had attacked her came forward in her mind, cold and emotionless. A shiver passed through her as her face falls emotionless as well, she had put the attack aside her and moved on from it, but sometimes she couldn't help but shiver at the image that was etched into her never fading memory. She hadn't seen him at all since she had arrived and was a bit relieved at that, but at times she couldn't help but have a feeling that he was going to be coming back. Pushing the thought past the forefront of her mind she smiles softly once more, letting it reach her eyes. " Good evening Jigsaw, are you enjoying your spout of freedom from Miss Ivy? " Her voice was soft and welcoming, it had been a few days or so since she had spoken really to anyone.

Gabriel raised a brow, staring at her in shock. The words bounced about in his head for a moment before he could process them. Once he had, he frowned.
"Are you sure?" he asked quietly, trying to resist the strong urge to pull her to him and hug her to death. Now she'd have to stick around, right? But would she want to? Would she want to stay with him? Only one way to find out.. "Are you staying here with me now, or are you going to just tell me this and run off again?"

Startled, Lacara's gaze flew back up to lock once again with his. Of all the reactions she had expected..utter calm wasn't one of them. She certainly hadn't been expecting his question.
"Am I sure..yes. I wouldn't be here if I wasn't." she answered softly, choosing to answer his first question because it was the easiest. As for the others..
"I don't know...I hadn't really thought about it. I could..do..do you want it?" she blurted out, her hesitation made her voice tremble a bit as she spoke the words, but that was an important factor right. God did she want it? Yes...despite everything she couldn't bring herself to deny the tiny form inside of her a chance at life. Did he...she could imagine that such a thing had probably never occurred to him, but judging by how well he seemed to be taking it she wondered for a moment if she thought wrong.

He stood there for a long moment, pondering his position. A small smile spread across his lips then and he went to her, pulling her into his arms.
"If you try to leave me again, I'll just hunt you down and drag you back." he said softly, though there was a firmness in his voice that was strange even to him. "Why would you even think I wouldn't want my child?"

Too stunned by his words to really protest the embrace, Cara rested her form against him and frowned.
"I hadn't really thought that you wouldn't but that's not something someone should just assume." she answered, her voice still whisper soft. Realizing where she was, she gave a moments thought to pulling away. Somehow..someway, Gabriel always managed to get her in his arms every single time she visited. Twice now it had even gone further than that. How did he do it? And why did she keep letting him? Well now it didn't really matter. Judging by his words and the tone to them, she actually believed the demon meant it. Which meant that she would be staying for a while. Oh god, she basically just agreed to stay here. In this far from ordinary place, with far too many in it for her comfort. And she was going to have a baby...as usual she couldn't let her mind rest too long on that fact without become petrified. Shaking her head, she reacted without thinking, shifting forward and burying her face in Gabriel's shoulder, leaning on his strength. She wished she could be as calm about the whole ordeal as he seemed to be.

Gabriel smiled, wrapping his arms around Cara. Standing there holding her, he felt more at peace than ever. He knew that this was going to be a huge change for everyone..especially her. Lowering his face to her hair, he nuzzled her gently.
"It's going to be fine." he said softly. "I promise."

Unable to resist the temptation of his words Cara sighed softly, and pressed closer, for once content to just let Gabriel hold her. Whatever cam next could wait. For now, this was enough...and made her feel much infinitely about the whole thing. At least he didn't hate her...or blame her, she thought ruefully. If anything he seemed set on wanting her to stay, and a part of her wondered if that was for her...or for the baby.

"It is what it is.",, said the fool, in his normal, hollow, but jovial voice. He stepped forward, and lightly embraced Kyatora, his sometimes accomplice. And you, my dear, how goes it?"

She wraps her arms around the jester, taking in his light embrace. " I have been quite well, just making my usual travels around the castle. How have you been for this evening? " She felt quite at home in this castle, and having someone so strange as Jigsaw always lightened her mood when she found it somewhat dragging. She had found that sometimes her feet would do the walking for her to the point that she would find him, it was always interesting when that sort happened, it kept her on her toes for most of the time.

"As I was telling Master Gabriel, I am simply enjoying a bit of freedom, till my mistress returns. She does tend to keep me on a short leash." The last long while had been interesting, here at the Haven. Ivory had just about adopted him as her pet project, as she was Lucid's. It was interesting, to say the least, even endearing at times. He had come to love her, after a fashion. Though he would never admit that much to her, or even himself. These occasional moments to himself, let him mull that over. No, not a change of heart, never even a reconsideration. Just a thought. Times had been rather tense, since some had left for the sea. He hadn't been told much, after they left. The curious young lady, whom could make him dis-inhabit his habit, and the young bloke with the bird. He could tell she was being protected, but from what, he never pried. And Master Seth, he was going to make sure whatever "it" was, never even had a chance. Sitting down on a nearby bench, he streched his legs out, and lounged back languidly. He may not have muscles anymore, but they still ached phantasmaly, sometimes. He felt it was his duty to help protect the Haven. Lucid could do it with a thought, and did not need much help, but the fool felt indebted to his mysterious benefactor, and did what he could. Keeping spirits up, with jokes, jests and the occasional pranks. Jigsaw made a mental note, 'Remember not to try and give Lord Lucid Blueberry Ice Cream anymore'. The thought made him shiver, and then the shiver made him jingle, and the jingle made him chuckle. Ah, much better.

((OOC; Ahh'. You're awesome, Uncle John. Much love for that ice cream line. <3))
Ivy moved silently through the rafters, keeping an eye out for her missing plaything. She'd have sworn she left him in her room, but he hadn't been there when she checked. She paused for a moment, tapping her lips with a finger in a thoughtful manner. He had to be somewhere. Flicking her tail slightly, the demon listened carefully. She could hear the soft murmur of voices that signified people talking not too far away. A smile curved her lips, and she slid down from the rafter, making her way toward the sound. Upon seeing the two people, she paused a bit.
"There you are." she said loud enough to be heard. She placed her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes slightly. "I've been looking all over for you, Mister."

Glancing up, the masks eyes just about light up with mischief. Drawing him self up from his lounge, he walks towards the demoness, and bows deeply "My Mistress, I meant you distress. I was simply wandering the corridors, enjoying the atmosphere." The fool knelt down, and took his lady's hand in his, and lightly pushed his mask against it, as he always did, to show his devotion. As per usual, the sensation of actual lips and mouth seemed ghostly present. He then took his postion, slightly behind her, and to the left, awaiting her mood.

Ivy smiled. Once he was in his usual place at her flank, she shifted her attention to the Vampiress.
"Hello, again. Thank you for keeping him out of trouble." she said softly, inclining her head slightly. Turned she glanced at Jigsaw. "Did you have fun exploring?"

"Indeed, My Mistress. How was your meeting with Lord Lucid?" The jester had often wondered about the relationship between the lord of the castle and his now mistress. Some times, he was almost jealous of Lucid, but he knew his place. His was not to make waves, but to simply entertain.
