Welcome to Gaia! ::

Necro was beginning to hate the changing of the seasons. More specifically, he was beginning to hate the approach of colder seasons. It wasn't the changing of the colors, the seasonal flowers, the falling leaves or anything like that. He just... hated the cold.

Just the cold.

The cold meant he was out of time and he'd have to wait a few more months before he could even begin...

Necro sighed. Now was not the time to get caught up in his head like this.

The Squire ran a hand through his hair... It was rather nice out, all things considered. There was even a pile of leaves near by. Some kids must have been in the area earlier and were playing in them...

Oh what the heck.. Might as well. He'd done dumber things... He had the scars to prove it. Plus who was going to stop him this time?

Crossing the distance, Necro spun on his heel, falling backwards into the leaves, only for his stomach to drop as he went...

Tumbling?

Necro stumbled from the leaves, confused. What just happened? Was that what teleporting felt like? Ew. He was glad he never had to do that.

"What. The. ******** class="quote">

Aw ******** course this cities bullshit would dump him in front of an officer. Of course. He really should have seen that coming.

He froze, not from the claws at his throat, but from the voice. Oh. Well, this made things... interesting.

"If... memory serves, I did have a habit of doing that." Necro said quietly. "That or your usually saving my a** from something stupid that I've done." Getting his throat ripped out by a tired half youma definitely qualified as something stupid. Reaching up, the Squire gently touched the claws at his throat. "Hey, I'm going to turn around... Okay?" It was the General's only warning.

He did so slowly, careful of the other's claws. Not cause they were around his throat, but because he didn't want to put the other on edge more then he probably already was at this point.

"I am... alive, I suppose." Necro snorted. "Should be, maybe your right. But I'm not." They could call it even stevens for all the times Cela was disappointed in him. There were definitely feelings involved, but disappointed wasn't one of them.

The Squire closed the distance, taking a step forward and hugging the other as tight as he dared. "I've missed you." He said softly. "You don't have to go. Please? I'm not gonna chase you off." Necro couldn't entirely blame him. He'd hidden before too. Sometimes he still thought about hiding. Just walking off and never coming back. "Are... Are you okay? How have you been?"

"Alive doesn't mean that I've been functioning okay though." He pointed out.

"It's okay. I can't be mad at you for that. Thinking about... all that is some terrifying stuff, even more so when you set out to do it. I went and hid too. I was beyond terrified when I did it. Just cause that time didn't work, doesn't mean you're out of options. We don't have to try now if you're not up to it."

He sighed quietly, hugging Celadonite back. "It's okay." He promised. They'd figure something out. "I'm sorry I didn't find you sooner." Sorry, that he didn't try harder. "I can't imagine you actually want to go back to the cold of the Rift."

Gently, Necro rested his head against the others. "... I want to take you home..." He murmured. "We could be done with all of this. You wouldn't have to hide away and practically freeze..."

Necro hated how pointlessly complicated this was.

"I... I have something, some place, I want to show you.. if you're up for it? All you have to do is trust me. But we don't have to go if you don't want to."

Necro made a face, though whether that was because Cela pulled away, or from the question, was anyone's guess. "I don't suppose just saying it's 'somewhere I haven't taken anyone else' will instantly win you over... Will it?"

No. Probably not.

"I told you... I wanted to show you something. Think of it like a surprise?" He offered weakly. "This isn't like... a trap or anything you know. I'm not going to force you into anything you don't wanna do. You know I wouldn't do that to you." Even with all his whining.

"As for... Where.. You have to promise to be normal about it. Because... I meant it. You would be the first person I've taken there, at all." And he still wasn't entirely use to going there himself. "It's probably gonna be a bit... doom and gloom, but I can't really help that, considering where it is.. But it's better on the inside?" At least he hoped it would be. He'd spent a fair bit of time trying to make it better.

"It's um...I wanted to take you to... my wonder." He mumbled quietly. "There is something there for you. Actually I set something up... for you there. Please? We don't have to stay there long if you don't want to. Just let me show you."

"That's fine. I wasn't-" Necro let go as Cela stepped back, giving him the space he needed. But he still offered his hands, palms facing up, if Cela wanted them.

"Baby, look it me." He said, trying to regain the General's attention. "I wasn't expecting it to be right now, let alone today. I'm sorry if I made it seem that way. We do this how you want it, okay? There's just something there that I wanted to show you. It can be an in and out thing if you want it to be, when we do it." He hoped it wouldn't be, but only time would tell.

"It would be just me and you. No one else. I promise, Love. I'm not... I wouldn't... I wouldn't just... You know I wouldn't do that to you, right?" Did Cela think it was a trap cause of everything that had happened? "Where and when did you want to meet up?" He asked, trying to distract. "Do you want me to bring you something warm? I can grab you one of my hoodies if you want? They might be a bit... baggie. I tend to get them larger then I actually need them to be. I can... tell you about what I wanted to show you, next time, if that makes you feel better. Though it's gonna ruin the surprise."
