Welcome to Gaia! ::

Iliad looked at Sabine and for the first time really felt like he was talking to someone he just met. The thought irked him slightly. "I'm happy you had a good time, thats all I wanted, and you don't have to thank me for my kindness, it comes naturally I guess." Iliad took a few more steps, quietly listening to Sabine when her last comment sparked an idea in Iliad, he looked at her and they locked eyes for a second making him smile. "You're wrong, its your house, I have too many as it is so I'm giving this one to you, on one condition, you have to actually open up to me, let me in without reserve or reservation." He smirked and raised his hands slightly, as if to calm her down before she said something, "I'm not asking you to love me, just to trust me, let me into that little circle you have that you won't let anyone into." Iliad figured he was being pushy, but true friendship and companionship was a small price to pay for a house, atleast thats what Iliad thought.
"So, what do you say, you think you can do it, or will you be looking for another land lord to get a house from?" Iliad asked her with a cocky smile.

Iliad saw her second of indecision and then her nod. He smiled, victorious once again. He then listened to her speak, it sounded like a warning of future pain and suffering, but he paid it no mind. He wasn't going to let her drag him down again, and he would be doing everything in his power to push her spirits back up. He smiled back at her when he seen her sad, little smile and put his arm around her shoulder. Then with his free hand he swiped slowly at the sky, as if displaying everything infront of them. "Its me and you against the world, I'll watch after you and you'll watch after me in this dog eat dog town we like to call Dru-Kai." He said in an overly dramatic voice.
He then let go of her with a smirk, "And don't worry, I've got nothing but time to wait for you to let me in, I'm just happy that I'm atleast on the waiting list." Iliad smirked and took a few quick steps ahead of her, "Come on, its this way, in the middle class district." He said, motioning with his arm for her to follow.

Iliad smiled as he heard Sabine call up to him, "Remember who you're dealing with, its in my nature..." He then felt stupid for saying that, "With simple things though, I would never think about cheating on something important, you know, like a person or som--" Iliad fell straight down a gap and landed on his back, looking up at the sky from the ground. Iliad lay there, one half pissed at himself, one half overjoyed the window sill broke his fall at about half way down. He stood up and hopped around a few times to make sure he didn't break anything other than his pride. "Less talking next time Iliad, less talking more running, can't win her over arm in a sling..." Iliad then chuckled half way up to the roof tops. "Who said I was trying to win anyone over." Iliad began running again, even with the fall he was still ahead of Sabine.
Iliad made it to the Middle class District and waited for Sabine to come around the corner, but it was taking a bit longer than he thought. "Maybe she should have sung..." He thought out loud with a smirk, as if on cue she came round the corner. "Cheated, who me?" He said pointing at himself. He laughed softly and began to walk, "Come on, its close to here, only a few blocks."
After a couple of minutes walking they came upon a little house that looked... exactly like the two houses on either side of it. He walked up the steps and climbed onto the roof rather quickly. He walked to the back of the roof and turned over a rock, under which was his key. He walked back to the front of the house and hopped down from the roof. "Well, we're here, home sweet home." He said walking up to the door and opening it. Inside was the exact layout of the safe house, only much neater with a few extra rooms, those rooms being the kitchen and dining room. Iliad took off his things and placed them at the work table he had here and sat down at the sofa, waiting for Sabine to settle in.

Iliad couldn't help but feel all warm and fuzzy inside as Sabine walked around the house, inspecting everything. It made him feel good that he could atleast get her someplace to stay. Iliad watched as Sabine came over, shifting slightly so that she would have more room, but instead she... winked at him and walked to the bed room. Iliad was shocked, She just gave me the universal sign for 'Come and get me', Iliad thought as he stood up. If all I had to do was provide a roof over her head to get with her I would have done so sooner. Iliad thought to himself jokingly, thinking that he must have read the wink wrong. When Iliad entered the room, however she was laying on the bed, as if waiting for him. Iliad was shocked again, he didn't even hear what she said first, something about it not being as good as a palace. Iliad heard what she said next however, "Don't thank me, I was just helping out a friend." He said in a cool, even voice, leaning against the wall next to the door. He didn't trust himself to lay in the same bed with her, not after all of her subtle hints which could have easilly been misconstrued. No, if she really wants me she is going to have to make it crystal clear... Iliad thought to himself, feeling slightly hot under the collar, but desparate to use caution in this situation, just in case he was, infact reading Sabine wrong.

Iliad smiled, "Alright, you're welcome, happy?" He said with a smirk. He was still in the same spot at the wall, even when she moved up to the headboard. Iliad bit his bottom lip and started to bounce his left heel, maybe his one and only nervous tell. Why is she acting like this, all... nice, not to say she wasn't nice before, but that wink, why the hell did she wink... Then again I was pretty damn suav at the resturant, I mean that line about the silver would have been enough to get any sane girl hot and bothered. Iliad stole a glace up from the floor at Sabine. They locked eyes for a second and Sabine just bit her bottom lip and made for room for him on the bed. Iliad looked back down and doubled the speed with which he was bouncing his heel. What the hell was that?! He thought to himself, boiling with lust that he was fighting to keep bottled up.
Iliad then looked up again when he heard her talk, "Huh, no, you don't have to worry about that, this was my home, I wouldn't ever." He smiled an awkward and even... shy smile. "In fact, you're the only other person to see this house." He told her. Iliad returned back to bouncing his heel, not even wanting look up at her, fearing she might be doing something else enticing but too vague to act upon. If she wanted to she would ask, calm down Iliad, you're reading too much into this... He told himself.
