Welcome to Gaia! ::

Karin bit her lip, seeing his blush returning, but she was purring in her throat so that didn't help at all. As soon as he looked away, she dropped her gaze to the ground as well and after a while of willing herself to stop, the purring finally ceased. Her face had turned red again in embarassment as well, and she breathed out slowly to calm herself. Her ears perked at his question and she shook her head very slowly. "I'm... not sure," she said softly. "Maybe... move someplace else? Or... follow those voices we heard earlier?" she offered, recalling how interested he'd seemed in that. Though, she'd lost interest a while ago, for obvious reasons. She lifted her head again, looking back at him.

Karin nodded her head, a bit relieved he'd chosen that instead. It was a little strange hearing him talk so softly, since he usually seemed to be faintly blunt when he spoke. Though, she knew she was speaking quietly as well so she didn't say anything. It was to be expected, right? She hadn't been in a relationship before, so she really didn't know... Her eyes followed him as he slipped off the branch and she followed after only a short pause. Her legs were already both over one side, so after she'd gotten her tail to unlatch itself from the branch, she slipped down to land beside him. She didn't know why he'd stopped to wait so close beneath her, so she had to try to land slightly to the side. She didn't want to fall on top of him.

[I should be, yes.]

Karin landed and turned to face him at the question. She was about to reply when he turned and started walking. She hurried after him, trailing behind like before. Though, her head tilted as she saw him slow his pace and fall into step beside her. She stared at him a moment, before a warm smile came over her face. She kept silent for a moment as they walked and then nodded her head, answering the question from earlier. "The courtyard's fine," she said simply, still smiling as she walked beside him. It felt better than trailing behind, and much better than him walking so closely behind her like he had. She almost laughed as she recalled her uneasiness, but managed to keep it back.

[I'm back]

Suka nodded and headed in that direction walking step by step the same pace as her. His tail was stiff as it swung back and forth behind him and he slipped his hands into his pockets. "Well...today seemed pretty productive huh?" he said laughing a bit to himself but sighing. Less then 48 hours and he'd already done more then he'd been able to do for most of the past year, let alone something that had taken him his whole entire life to do. Until now feelings such as love and compassion were foreign to him...there was business and survival and nothing else afterward. Until her there was nothing there...

[Welcome back. ^^]

Karin nodded at the comment and laughed softly, shaking her head in slight amusement. It really was though. She'd never experienced anything like this before and it really was amazing. Her eyes went to the floor as they moved, her mind wandering. Her hands were back in her pockets, once more playing with the X and her tail was flicking slowly behind her. Her ears were perked and alert however and kept tilting around in every direction as they moved. Perhaps she was subconsciously listening for those voices from before.

It's ok... Trust me...

He looked at the tattoo. He could feel the energy coming from the marking. It was bad. To Pander, it was worse than the feeling he had about what would happen when he found Scytheress. Pander placed his had on the tattoo, beginning to absorb some of the energy into himself. Another trick, granted to him by god for his ever faithful work.

He blanked out after absorbing energy for five minutes striaght. He felt his body hit the ground then woke up in heaven. Azreal, the angel of death, stood over Pander, offering a hand up.

You are persistant, aren't you.

Pander took the angel's hand, pulling himself up onto his feet. The youngish looking man had two thick lines of white running down the front of his long black hair.

Lord Azreal, I have one thing to say to you if you allow Yume to die. Go burn! She deserves to live and we both know it. Let her live and you can take me. You've always wanted that, haven't you!?

Pander's face contorted into a snarl of hatred for the angel. Azreal had always been a source of great pain and anguish to Pander. First Azreal took Pander's mother, then his father, then almost his grandfather. Azreal was on Pander's kill if possible list.

Well then. Isn't this a tempting offer. And you're right, I do want you. You and your immortal family. You should all die of natural causes, but no... Dirge had go strike a deal with god now didn't he!

So you're jealous?! That's what this is about! That's why you take everything away from me! You deserve to burn! GO TO HELL!

Pander's eyes flashed open as he sat up. Jangen and Dirge had returned. Neither had seen anything. With the look on pander's face, neither could voice their reports of nothing. Pander stood, the blood lust rushing through him again. Azreal was the first person he would kill if he could now. His jealousy would lend him a one way trip to hell if Pander had anything to do about it.

Pander grabbed Yume's wrist as he flipped up onto his feet. He swung his foot around, tripping Yume. Before she had moved an inch, Pander had pulled her onto his back. He stood up with a brand new Yume back warmer. He laughed slightly as he began to walk towards Scytheress's energy signature.

You aren't going anywhere in that condition. Hold on tight thought... I don't plan on going slow.

His pace began to slowly pick up to a jog. He would speed up to a full run once Yume was holding on. He easily avoided ground debris even with Yume on his back. Jangen and Dirge seemed ready to grab the two if something was to happen.
