Hemlocke sighed, looking down at the small bag that he'd set on his bed, it was empty though... despite the fact that in a few hours he was supposed to be taking a trip.
He was going to Atlantis...
As the guest of the emperor..
It was terrifying. Especially so as he honestly had no idea what he should take. His clothes seemed a silly bet, as frankly what culd would three variations of the same corset cut top do him..? And velvet trousers..? Not likely..
He sighed slightly, and ended up simply putting his hair brush and a smal hair grip in the bag. What else was he really going to need..? It was a tough one really.
The other problem was there was somthing very much on his mind..
Phyx.
His friend knew he was leaving today, he'd told him as much after the ball.. and in a letter.. he didnt know if Shino had remembered to send that though.
Regardless he'd still not heared from the drow and he was desperately hoping that by some freakish miricle he'd show up at some point.. he'd feel so much better if he did...

Phyx came walking towards the house that Hemlocke stayed at. He was alone and with his master Kazuki due to his own business at work. He was there to see Hemlocke since he hadn't seen the male in a couple of days. He found it weird that he actually missed the boy for once. He wasn't getting softer at his older age was he? He only hoped not, but there was nothing he could do, but wait and see. Raising his hand to the door, he gave a light knock before looking down at himself hoping he looked alright. What was this? He was actually checking himself out to make sure he was presentable to someone he supposedly couldn't stand? He was really losing it now and he wanted it all to stop. His confusion, his sudden loneliness, his nightmares, and most of all the pain in his chest at random times. "Please don't be home...Please don't be home..." He kept muttering to himself as he looked back up to the door waiting for someone to answer.

Hemlocke was still staring at his mostly empty back when he heared the knock on the door.. he wrinkled his nose, it was probably that girl from work who had taken to following Shino around a little recently, it was mildly disturbing, that was for sure.. but he didnt feel that he could just let the door go unanswered so, on light feet he skittered down the stairs and promptly fell down the last three or so, he wasnt really that graceful, that was for sure, at least not when he was only half focussing anyway.
After he had picked himself up however, his hair and general attire now looking a little mussed from his encouter with the hall carpet, he made a vague attempt at brushin ghimself down and moved along the hall, past the living room to the front door, which he managed to unlok and open after struggling at first to turn thel ittle lever the right way, when he finally looked out he had to pause for a moment to make sure he wasnt going mad..
"Phyx..?" He asked quietly, curling his hand around the door and leaning on it slightly,
"What are you doing here..?"

Phyx's eyes fell immediately on the male that answered the door. Though he was expecting Hemlocke's master, but at least he didn't have to ask to see Hemmy now. Eyeing the male up a bit, he smiled slightly before flicking his long strand of hair away from his face. "I suppose I came to see you? You are my only friend after all you know." He shook his head as he turned away from him to look at the landscape a bit. He didn't know what else he couild even say to Hemmy that wouldn't make him sound desperate. "So how are you?" He asked Hemlocke lightly before moving over to the doorway and leaning against the wall.

Hemlocke found himself blinking again. It was true that at the ball the two of them had started to get along bmuch better, but he honestly haddnt expected it to last, they had seemed far too different all through their lives and well.. it was a good thing that it haddnt detiorated, odd, but good.
"You came to see me..?" He asked with a small smile beginning to quirk his lips slightly,
"Thats.. thank you.." he stepped back a little, offering his friend the chance to come inside if he wanted.
"I'm okay, Packing, I'm supposed to be meeting Mana down at the seashore.. and.. and I think the Lady with the armour, one of the other ledgenary rulers is going to be there as well.. thats what Mana told me last time I was able to see him.." he paused, bringing his nail up to his lips and trapping it between his teeth for a moment,
"I'm pleased you're here though.." he said quietly,
"I hoped you'd come by.. I.." the Unseelie suddenly looked a little nervous,
"I was wondering if when I go down to the sea you'd come with me.. come see me off.. I dont really know whats going to happen you see, I'm a little nervous..." he tapped his fingers on the door lightly, still looking uneasy.

Phyx watched the male curiously with his red eyes wondering what he himself could say to him. He didn't want to sound like he was actually thinking about him from time to time. "Heh no need for the apology. It doesn't mean I won't stop being mean to you." He shrugged as he paused for a moment when he heard that he was packing for the trip that he forgot about. He thought he would at least remember that he was going, but he didn't. Maybe it was because he didn't want to remember it. "Oh I see. So then you will be gone for awhile then right?" He said lightly and tried not to sound too sad about it. It afterall was his only friend leaving for a bit. He only hoped that orb he was suppose to protect would break open or something. That would make him a little happy at least. "Really? It's going to be more sad for you won't it? I think it would be best I left now." He shrugged and didn't like seeing others upset and feared that is what would happen to Hemlocke when they reached the sea. "Fine I will go. Maybe you will be less nervous with me there." He said simply as he began to walk away from Hemlocke's door. He had no clue where it was, but needed to get the thought of Hemlocke leaving out of his mind.

Hmlocke moved without thinking then, whatever happened he did not want Phyx to leave right now, he wanted to spend some time with him before he went away.. especially as he didnt honestly know how long he was going to be away for..
"Phyx Wait!" He called, scampering around the Drow and wrapping his arms around one of his frineds, leaning against the Drow's stomache and chest to stop himself tumbling over as he stopped moving.
"Please done leave yet.. I.. I dont want you to go away.." He realised then, too lateto really pull away that this might really annoy the Drow, it was a far fetched dream to think it wouldnt, Phyx had never liked him going even remotely close to him before, so how badly he was likely to react to Hemlocke literally hugging onto him was anyones guess...
"I want to spend some time with you.. please.." he'd gone so far now that he may as well finish it... it was likely to be the only time he'd manages...
"I'm going to miss you... I.. I promise I wont cry..."

Phyx felt the male get close to him and it made him look away into the darkness. He didn't like when people got this close to him because it made him feel that warmness he had been advoiding his whole life. "I will walk you there." It did feel nice until Hemlocke pulled away making his body go cold again. "I know you do, but I don't know why you would want to spend time with me. I only hurt you and am rarely nice." He told him and tried to find some type of escape from becoming to mushy with his words. "I won't miss you. Everything will be the same for me while your gone. Remember you are only a face to me." He told him harshly and it was clearly a lie. He was trying to make himself not think of Hemlocke in that manner. "You can cry if you want. It's not like it will be me crying." He told him simply as he looked around for where they should go. "So which way?" He asked curiously with his arms folding over his chest to keep himself warm.

Hemlocke shook his head..
"I'm not going right now.. there's still an hour or so until I need to leave.." he'd pulled right away now, and was standing with his eyes fixed down on the floor, one arm across his chest, holding onto the other arm..
"I was hoping you'd just.. well.." he looked back at the door, he'd been hoping to just stay with his friend for a while, but that wasn't going to happen, he could see that now..
"I didnt ever think you would miss me.." he said quietly,
"But.. You dont always hurt me you know... You've been nice to me a few times..." he looked up at him, smiling very sadly,
"I shouldnt have nagged you into going, I understand if you dont really want to.. especially as.. well.." He was going to add on that he was only a face, but he couldnt.. he didnt want to be mean, even slightly mean to his friend.
"I'd just have liked to see you as its been ages and I have no idea when I'll be back.." He turned away again,
"You're still welcome inside if you want to come in...? I could make you something to drink.."

Phyx listened to him and didn't give an answer to anything since the part before he was invited in, rang in his brain. He didn't want Hemlocke to go for that long, but he couldn't show that on the outside. He was suppose to be a strong drow. "I thought it was only a week or so thing?" He asked him lightly with his eyes fixing on the male before him. "I mean I don't care how long your away old or when you get back, but..." He trailed off since he didn't want to keep it going. "Sure I will go in. Though I don't think I want a drink right now." He told him simply as he walked back to the house and in the door right away. He needed to get away from the slight chill that filled the air. He didn't think he could ever get cold, but he was wrong about himself again.

Hemlocke smiled at the drow over his shoulder as he himself vanished inside,
"Well, dont worry if you dont want anything," he said with a very slightly chuckle,
"But if you change your mind you can just help yourself, there's food in the fridge and cupboards," he moved over to the stairs,
"I guess I can go for more or less how I want, unless there is a specific timescale that Mana hasnt told me about.. I dont really know honetstly.." he nibbled his lip slightly, curls of his purple hair tumbling down over his shoulder,
"I'll just go up and finish putting things in my bag.. I'm not taking much but we'll see.." he smiled again,
"I'll come down again soon though, I wont be ong.. we can talk, or watch somehting like this weird show called scrubs till I have to go if you want.."

Phyx listened to him talk as he took a seat on the couch. This all seemed like a blur to him and would turn into the longest wait of his life. He would be waiting at home with nothing to do for Hemlocke until he returned from his trip. " Take your time. We don't have to talk at all." He said lightly as he looked down at his hands trying to think if he brought the orb with him. Digging into his pocket, he tried to feel around for it and hoped it was in there. After a few seconds of searching, he pulled out the orb and smiled slightly at it since it would be his only friend for however long Hemlocke was gone.

Hemlocke was as good as his word, he wasnt really upstairs for very long, just giving himself enough time to put a couple of little keepsakes in his bag and find a few more hair ties and the odd piece of jewelry.
Once he was done he picked up the small canvas bag and looped it over his shoulder, switching off the light as he scampered back out the room and down the stairs, once again stumbling slightly and half sliding down the last few with a startled noise.
He managed to catch himself at the bottom though, and managed not to fall over.
Shaking his head slightly he moved away from the staircase and back into the living room, pausing to blink at the orb in a slightly confused manner,
"What do you have there Phyx..?" he moved over again, slowly, so his friend could hide the item if he wished too...

Phyx watched as the male left to head upstairs. He looked at his nails a bit to try and pass the time since it was the longest wait he had ever experienced up to this point. After a bit more of boredom, he heard a thump by the staircase causing him to turn around to look at the male. He blinked a bit and wondered if he was alright. "You okay?" He asked him lightly, but then turned his eyes away from Hemlocke to make it seem like he didn't care all that much. Eyeing the orb in his hand, he glanced up to Hemlocke briefly and then back to his orb again. "Oh it's an orb I am suppose to look over. My master said that I was in one when I was younger." He nodded as he rubbed it lightly to make sure it had no scratches on it.

Hemlocke moved over to the sofa and curled himself onto it with a smile,
"I'm okay, I just stumble down the stairs a lot.. I'm a littel clumsy.." he smiled again and looked over at the orb once more,
"Its so pretty.. you're really lucky to have an owner that trusts you with somthing like that.." he said with a whistful smile,
"I mean, Shino would never give me anything like that.." he was so tempted to reach out and touch the little glass orb, but he could almost tell that Phyx would probably scold him for that one..
"At least you'll have somthing to do while I'm not here to annoy you.." he said with a small, slightly sad smile up at the Drow, he really was going to miss Phyx, he really liked being around him.. Oh if only Phyx liked him back.. that was all he really wanted.
