:: Well ... Fancy Meeting You Here ::
Manda
This was a nice town, really ... orderly streets, parks, children everywhere... cute little shops and coffehouses and the like... TOO nice, in his opinion. He'd found one club that was somewhat to his liking so far, and hadn't even been able to do anything there thanks to the bouncers. One in particular whom he'd been careful to stay out of sight of... didn't want to mess with Ka'hmesh just now, thank you. So currently he was wandering through one of the nice and happy parks, frowning slightly... a bit slouched with hands in the pockets of a light jacket. And wondering if there was -anything- at all interesting in this place.

Tiis really wondered why he kept the kid around sometimes. Especially times like this. He was parked on a bench, sitting on the back of it, actually, feet propped on the seat, fingers steepled in front of him as he scowled at the little girl playing on the merry-go-round not ten yards away from him. Really, she was more trouble than she was worth, which, perhaps, he had to admit, was part of the reason she was still around. She was precocious, devious, and with some training...could certainly use those pretty green eyes of hers to get herself whatever the hell she...and Tiis...wanted. Now it was only a matter of teaching her to do as he liked rather than the constant, willful struggle that raising her had turned out to be. Not that Tiis was a good guardian, far from it...but he'd learned that certain things just did not work with her and threats made her laugh...and then came vengeance. The slender pink-haired male was thoroughly sick of finding his things ruined and/or hidden away. Damn little bratling...
Ryelle, for her part, had her guardian just where she wanted him. Humming softly as she used her legs to turn the merry-go-round about, she darted a quick glance towards Tiis. It would only be a matter of time really...before he lost his concentration on her, and then she could slip off for a bit. She had some spare change that she'd filched from various articles of laundry, and she was quite keen on running to the little cafe down the road and buying herself a pastry...if she did it right, Tiis would never be the wiser.

Glancing up as he wandered along, 'Shen blinked... was that...? Oh good gods, he rather thought that it was. Thank HEAVEN this place had just become more interesting. He'd started to think he might die of boredom soon. Paying no attention at all to the little girl - as he had no clue who she was - 'Shen proceeded to circle around carefully... until he was coming toward that bench from behind. Then he moved to snake an arm about the other's waist with a low purr. "Hello there... "

Tiis froze then, blinking for a moment before the shock registered in his features. "'Shen...?" It was quiet, breathless. He'd hoped...hoped the other would find his way here, that he was all right, that the portal's malfunction hadn't bloody well killed the other, something he'd been secretly fearing in the back of his mind. Oh ******** he would not allow himself to get mushy or sappy about finding his partner again, because like as not 'Shen would just laugh at him. So instead, swallowing the great lump in his throat, he grinned like a fool. "Well hey there, handsome...whatever are you doing in these parts?" It was a purr, deliciously happy with the other's presence, tilting head back to blink large blue eyes at his fellow demon.
Ryelle, for her part, forgot completely about the plot she had been hatching, and clambering up from her spot, she paddered closer, putting a hand on one tiny hip and eyeing the newcomer suspiciously. "And just what do you think you're doing with Mommy?" She demanded, stamping a foot.
Tiis heaved a great sigh, rolling eyes to the heavens. Why, god?

'Shen purred back at that - leaning down quickly to steal a little kiss, with a n** to the other's lower lip. "Looking for some company ... " he replied. "It's really very boring around here." Then he blinked, and titled head at the child when she came up to them. -Mommy-? What in the world...
But he didn't say anything about that, just smirked at her and nibbled a bit at Tiis's jawline. "What does it look like I'm doing, hmmm?"

Tiis returned that kiss rather hungrily, seeking another as soon as the first was over. "Mmm...I thought it was going to be boring, at least, but it turns out that it's more exciting around here than it would appear." A low chuckle at that. "I missed having you around, however, things are never as exciting without your presence..." A purr at that. "And this, 'Shen, is Ryelle..." A nod to the Scent. "She's my minion in training." A grin then.
Ryelle rolled her eyes in return. "Looks like you're molesting my mommy dearest." She replied tartly, twirling a lock of hair about one finger. "If you're gonna be doing adult things, then you should get a room. At least that's what I hear." A devious smirk at that, entirely too knowing for a child her age.

"Minion...?" 'Shen replied at that, raising a brow. "And just where did you manage to acquire one of those, hmm? Is there some shop around these parts which sells them that I've missed?" His tone was teasing, playful - not even suspecting how close to the truth he really was.
Turning back to said child (minion) then, he laughed. "Well, as it doesn't seem like much of anyone is around here just now I think I can molest whoever I want..." So saying, he proceeded to quite defiantly crawl fingers up inside the pink-haired demon's shirt.

"Well...actually...it's the oddest story, she sort of...appeared." Came in the mail, to be technical, "And she rather informed me that she was staying. She's a brat, but that can be...useful...as she's a cute little snipe." Another grin at that. There was a sigh then, leaning back against the other's embrace. He didn't really care if the other molested him...so long as 'Shen didn't take it too far and get them ALL in trouble. They could do that later...preferably many times in the comfort of Tiis' own bedroom.
Ryelle arched a brow, "Well I'm around, and you shouldn't be corrupting impressionable young children." She smirked back at him then, an arch little smile that said that she knew exactly what was going on, and what she was doing about it. Oh yes, this one was too easy to tease...she liked this new one.

'Shen just kept right on teasing Tiis for the moment - having really missed the other... and a bit surprised now by the intensity of feelings. That portal had actually spit him out somewhere else entirely, and since then he'd been wandering through places, hoping that his partner hadn't been killed... wondering if he'd ever see Tiis again.
For Ryelle, 'Shen just kept on smirking. "Well, it seems pretty obvious to me that you've already been corrupted."

"You...are so going to get it when we get home..." He murmured, just for 'Shen's ear, tilting head just so to nibble at the other's neck. Oh yes, he was going to trap him in the bedroom and keep him there for hours on end, and if Ryelle scampered off and got into trouble, well he'd bloody well deal with it later.
Ryelle sighed, pursing her rosebud lips thoughtfully, "Perhaps so, but it's my duty to protect my mommy." Another impish grin at that, giggling, "And you're not being polite at aaaaalll..." Not that either Ryelle or Tiis were such a thing either.

'Shen quite pointedly ignored the 'threat' from Tiis - as he was rather looking forward to that anyway - focusing more on Ryelle now. Though he didn't stop teasing the other demon...
"Ooh...? Then if you're so concerned, why don't you -make- me behave?" he purred at her, resting head on Tiis's shoulder for a moment.

Tiis eyes lidded, actually rather enjoying himself. If 'Shen wanted to be all touchy and nibbly, then the demon really wasn't going to protest, purring faintly and letting his partner and minion duke it out amongst themselves, immature little asses that they were constantly proving themselves to be.
Ryelle laughed quietly, and scampering up, she hopped onto the bench and then pulled herself rather adeptly into Tiis' lap, smirking faintly before giving 'Shen quite an evil look, reaching up, and tweaking his nose. "Don't worry, mister, I think I'll have plenty of time to teach you too."
Tiis couldn't help but laugh at that, "Oh how cute, she takes after you..." He teased, rather bemused now that he wasn't the one on Ryelle's hit list.

'Shen actually growled softly at that and tilted head a bit to glare down at the child. If she thought that he was going to let himself be 'taught' by her ... well, she had another thing coming. Leaving off his teasing for just a moment, he vaulted over that bench and made to pry Ryelle -off- Tiis.
o0 Sephiros Immortal 0o
Tiis, however, wrapped an arm around the girl's waist, and quite swiftly deposited her on the ground, putting himself between both Scent and demon. "Behave, both of you..." He shot Ryelle a scowl, one that told her she was in quite a patch of trouble, and then eyed 'Shen, "You're older than she is, you know...you could act like it..." Though that had a teasing lilt to it too, snagging the other's jacket collar and pulling him into a sound kiss.
Ryelle obliged with a gagging noise in the background. Adults were so gross.

'Shen let himself be soothed rather quickly then, leaning into the other demon with a little purring noise. His arms -did- go about the other quite possessively, though. It didn't really suit him to have some child snuggling up to Tiis like that - minion or no.
o0 Sephiros Immortal 0o
Able to tell that he'd soothed the other, well...he rather thought to keep this particular mood going. After a moment, he let go...and turned, handing Ryelle a few dollars fetched from his pocket. "Now...go get yourself a snack, all right? But don't go far and for the love of all that's holy go straight home after!"
Of course, she was already tearing down the sidewalk, unlikely to follow Tiis' directions. Ah well, she'd come back eventually, if only to try to make their lives hell. Smiling faintly, Tiis leaned up, and kissed 'Shen again...his partner, his lover...so strange to have him back, so very wonderful. "Wanna come to my place?" Teasing, but an earnest query all the same.

'Shen smirked at that, quite happy to see Ryelle run off someplace else for a while. "Mmm... that sounds like an absolutely wonderful idea," he purred in return - leaning against the other. "Just lead the way..."
