Welcome to Gaia! ::

Caradoc walked downstairs, holding Shadow on a chain with his Utility arm, which protruded from his gut where his appendix would be, if he had one. He smiled at Ever, "Tomo should be home, soon." He said, keeping his twelve 'fingers' wrapped tightly around the chain as Shadow began to pull. He was more like an animal, now. Sniffing around and looking at Ever hungrily.

Tomo pushed open the front door of the Muffin looking worn, but excited at the same time. He was dressed in loose elven robes, since Ritsuko had friends where he was staying for the past day and a half. He looked back at the female behind him with a slightly guilty expression. Her family had been killed and she had no friends or lovers that survived either. She had told Tomo that she would gladly give her mind, body, and soul to her former princess. She said it so softly and with the most beautiful bittersweet smile.

She looked around with wide green eyes, looking at ease in the comforting atmosphere.

Yule watched as Tomo entered the Muffin before her. She walked in with a bag of plastic plates and utensils, and cake mix. She skipped to the kitchen and left everything and ran back inside, "Master Tomokazu. May I ask you something personal of a person who lives here?"

Tomo perked his ears and walked over to Yule, pulling her to the side so the other's could work, "Sure thing. What do you want to ask?" He asked, tail swaying curiously.

Ever's eyes almost flashed, as his eagerness was replaced with remorse. He took the female by the shoulders, and almost was to tears. "Your death will not have been in vain. You have no idea how much this means to us.." he said, biting his lip and swallowing hard. He glanced to Caradoc, and then to Tomo.

"Outside.." he said softly, drawing her to her feet. Ever was first out, and brought the girl by her arm with him. His hands were being gentle, as he tried not to bring himself to tears. He brought her down the steps, and lay her down on the slightly muddy earth. "Here now, I have to run get something right quick, but, I will be here the whole time." he said, with a small nod.

Instantly, he was on his feet, and sprinting back into the muffin. It was almost as though what they were doing was a matter of pride for their kingdom. It was.. more important than just a few men's feelings. The tall boy scampered over to his table, and grasped at Ellie. Slipped... The silvery orb rolled across the table, just out of his reach. REgaining his balance, he managed to grab it before it dropped off of the side.

While his careful fingers slid her into the pocket of his jacket, he jogged back outside, and managed a sigh through his heavy breathing. Kneeling next to her, he let his hands hold onto her arm. "I'll be here the whole time." reassured the teen, as he heard a distant crack of thunder. Rain, soon. As if on cue, a downpour soaked the earth surround them. Shadow should be ready soon.

Ever glanced between the almost giggling robot boy, and the.. victim. What was he supposed to do?! The look on his face was almost pure terror. "D'you have any last.. wishes, or anything?" Ever said, biting his lip. "Err, when's your birthday, maybe?" Ever asked. It was a stupid question, well.. What would Ellie say? 'Today's my bodies birthday! I'm only 16!'

"If you do I'll kiss you..." he sat down on a stool and leaned on the counter, trying very hard to wake up without using cocoa. He looked at Yule that walked to him and asked in a very shy tone.

"Sir Kai. May I ask how old you are?"

"Uhm...depends, really. By physical age I am twenty. Really really? I am six at the moment..." he said with his sleepy eyes. Yule smiled and walked to the kitchen and told Tomo his age.

Tomo nodded and laughed, "It's okay, Kai. I think Cass would maim the both of us if you did." He said, walking back to the kitchen. "Howabout I make one of my World Famous Foot Long Subs?" He suggested, going back into the kitchen. When he heard the news from Yule, he paused to smile a little, looking a little drowsy from the rain. "I never knew that..." He murmured as he grabbed the ingredients for an awesome sandwich.

Caradoc nodded and stepped forward, pulling Shadow along gently. He'd put a simple muting spell in case Shadow wanted to scare her with a string of obscenities. "You hungry?" He whispered into Shadow's recently changed human ear. He barely looked like Baizou anymore. "Fresh beautiful kind young girl... Yeah. Never had a girl before..."

Shadow smirked and slid down to the ground, smelling the elven girl carefully before slowly unbuttoning the front of her dress. One had to admit, that Shadow was extremely careful with his victims. Just as he had done with Tomo, he numbed her skin and mind until she was completely relaxed. With another glance to her face as she accepted death, he plunged his teeth into her heart, extracting the silvery liquid that made up her soul.

"Don't worry. Girls enjoy two men kissing. Don't ask me why..."

"I bought everything to give him a birthday, but I can't ask him when because then he'll know..."she giggled as quietly as she could. She was very excited to prepare a birthday party.

Kai kept his head on the counter for a while and then just popped up stunned, "You're planning a birthday!!! NO! No birthday! Whatever you're planning, lady, stop. Kai doesn't celebrate birthdays. never have. hell, even Kaen doesn't know when's my birthday." he walked to the other side and straight to her that hunched down scared.
