Welcome to Gaia! ::

Toole nodded getting up he moved over by his bed and a little circular plate near his bed fastened at one end twisted up to reveal a tube in the wall. "Lisa, i'll be taking my usual tonight, dinning only for one though, and take your time in preperation."

Toole cosed with two taps were heard, and he came over to sit down again a bit more relaxed. He wore a soft smile and stared at Ailes, but his thoughts were elsewhere.

Chrono laughs as he watches Hans and Elenath parading through the city with little Lucid. he sought out his little waif and wandered after her to find Toole's house. he waltzes up and knocks politely on the door.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Akuma moves over to look out the window at the rising moon, "it's a clear night..." she sighed and watched the steam of her tea roll off into the sky and felt alone once again. Just as she was about to take another sip she paused, "we have two people for company..."

Ailes shifted in bed, and rose from her sheets. she rubbed her eyes and moaned, "that was a good nap."

Akuma looked at her sister, and debated as to jump out the window or stay... she settled for putting up a sight shield and letting Toole deal with her.

Chrono strolls in and takes a seat. He looks around the room, taking in his surroundings then jumps when his eyes rest on Ailes, “Good god! You‘ve become a young woman!” Chrono rises from his chair and pulls Ailes to her feet. He spins her around admiring her curves and taking note to the similarities between her and her mother, “heh, I don‘t think you acquired anything from your father! Except maybe his eyes. Despite your father‘s harsh looks, he is pretty easy on the eyes.” he settles Ailes back on the bed and continues to look around the room till his eyes rest on the barrier in the corner of the room, “Child, you are so lucky these jewel levels are lower than yours, because your barrier is set up VERY poorly. Anyways, I have some good news for you, you‘re getting married!”

The barrier shatters and Akuma goes flying at Chrono in all her fury, “what the hell do you mean I‘m getting married! I am not going anywhere NEAR an alter till I finish training!” the room almost shook with the echo off of Akumas voice, and Chrono was still smirking sweetly, “Hans is planning your wedding with Lucid now… I guess…”

“Akuma?”

Akuma and Chrono glance over at Ailes, who is slowly sliding off the bed misty eyed and a quivering lip.

“Oh god Ailes, don’t do this…” Akuma muttered as Ailes goes running into her arms.

“I thought you were dead! You were dy….dying… in my arms… and I…-sob-.. I ,” her sobs overwhelmed her and she just submitted to laying in her sisters arms and crying.

Akuma walks her sister over to the bed and gets begins to try to soothe her.
After she began to calm down she began to explain that she is dead and that she was her only for a little while.
“will I ever get to see you again, or… or are you gone…” her voice was faded and brittle from her crying.

“yeah, I guess I‘m getting married… soon? I don’t know… Chrono… what the hell did you do!?!” Akuma growled and rose from the bed.

“Well, I was looking out the window because the meeting was boring, and I was transfixed by a young couple out in the garden. They were getting all snuggly, and I turned to Hans VonMyre and asked if his son had a companion. He mumbled about something, or I just blocked it out, but eventually he came and looked out the window to find you and lucid locking lips… he was so pleased he decided you two would be getting married… so yeah, that’s what happened.” Chrono smiled, satisfied with his report.

Akuma however stormed around the room complaining and ranting, “HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO MARRY HIM! I JUST MET HIM LIKE A MONTH AGO! WE‘VE BEEN ON ONE DATE, AND SURE IT WAS FUN, BUT HELL! I don’t know… I’m dead, he‘s not. What the hell am I supposed to do about that?”

There was a long moment of silence then Chrono mumbled, “well, he‘d have to come to the Abyss, of course…”

Akuma's eye twitched at the word love. she 'cared deeply' for him, but she has never been with anyone else before him. nor has she ever really felt love. she sat down and sorted out her thoughts though she felt the slight feeling of being under pressure, since Toole was staring at her interrogatively.

Chrono stepped in, "hey now, of course she has feelings for him; whether they be clear or not to her now, she does. what she is trying to get at is that she has never been in a relationship before and has had...well... a rough loveless life. either way... she isnt ready for a marriage."

Ailes smiled, Akuma frowned, and Chrono looked shocked, "that better not have been your old man... because i dont think he has his priorities straight."

Chrono went silent and sat on the bed. his eyes glazed over and he lost all life that once existed in him.
Akuma sat down beside him and rubbed his arm with a concerned look in her eyes.
Ailes smiled oblivious and snuggles up to Toole.

Akuma touches the picture and it vanishes, then she wraps her arms up around Chrono, "let's go home."

Chrono nodded and walked to the window sill. Akuma looked back to see her sister launching into her arms suddenly bawling. She smirks and holds her close, "i'll be back soon, i'll have to be. i have a wedding to attend."

Ailes looked up and tried to slowly back away, and right as Akuma and Chrono exited through the window she launched to the window and cried out Akuma's name.

Though this broke Akuma's heart she knew she would be okay. she had Toole, and despite the fact she had her doubts occasionally she knew he would keep her safe. she looked back at the window to the living world; to her sister and walked through the portal.
