Welcome to Gaia! ::

He grins and looks at her, then glances back out at the ocean. "Well, as long as you don't freak out and try to kill any serpants, all will go well." The grin turns into a smirk as he looks at her, gauging her reaction.

Tenkyl snickers as he looks over at her, "I didn't say you'll be attacked... I just said don't attack anything. And ya, I didn't really bring anything either, minus the ocarina."

Once again Tenkyl has the urge to say something, but holds his tongue. Instead, he decides to say something a little less obscene. "Well, I could always play my ocarina again and have you dance once more."

Dante had been following Meria for quite some time, from her exeunt stage left at the mall, to her rendezvous at the hotel, All were very narrow and crwded places, and truly not where he wanted to try and subdue the girl. It was a surprisingly difficult track, not because Meria was particularity good at covering her tracks, but mostly because Dante was so very rusty in these kind of things. It had been well over two years since he had to fulfill such a function and now was bad time to fiquire out you were out of shape.

He had worried she would catch on, perhaps she had, it was irrelevant worse case scenario she would set and ambush and Dante would have to improvise. She wasnt about to kill him, heck shed have no reason to Dante had made no move towards her and now he doubted shed burst out and try and take him down. Now confront him... that was a whole different matter entirely. And he was okay with that, he knew he could get close that wasnt the issue, his aim wasnt the issue the issue was time he had strayed so much further away from the stadium than he had planned and he worried he may have to take measures in the field to take Meria with him. That of course would be a less than ideal situation but sadly push may come to shove, of course shove may be fun.. wait no.. that would wait He had to get Fae back in control first then he could worry about making up with her.

Dante pulled his sleeve back as he closed the tail distance from a few blocks to just one, the slight link he had with her was just enough to stay on her tail. Checking the three small tubes he ejected one of the small wooden spell sticks and checked one of the runes at the end, it was his last resort, they all had a small area of effect bu he had set the last one for very close and very wide, if he wasnt careful hed draw himself into the trap and end up uncomfortably close with Meria, he hoped however that, that would help Fae regain control... being displaced from oens mind was never fun but hey... sometimes good things can come of it.

With that check he did up his sleeve concealing the device and continued onwards closing the distance between him and the girl.

Dante took a deep breath as he rested his back against the wall of nearby street corner and tried to relax he tried to focus, but everything in him made him feel like he was about assassinate the woman he loved. He pushed the thought from his mind as he leaned forward and started towards her, but truly deep down inside he knew that if it wasnt for the fact his weapon was completely non-lethal (in fact shed probably enjoy it) he would think he was following a script for a kidnapping or Assassination, heck chapter one.. old friends..

"Faeriun!" Dante called as he was within about twenty feet or so from the girl smiling with the sort of devious grin you'd expect a newly-wed husband to have when he saw his wife for the first time in almost two weeks. "There you are, Ive been looking everywhere for you..."

His mind recounted his steps, no it was too soon he could have done it then put his arm out for a hug and planted both sticks into her side, irregardless of the armor the effect would be achieved, but he had hesitated he didnt know how confident Meria was in her betrayl, would she take him for a fool? most likely if she had, had the cajones to enter his workshop and steel a suit of armor she had no right to take he was fairly sure she would suspect Dante for a lovesick fool... there was still time, take it easy play her into it.

Dante took a deep breath and let out a sigh of happy relief just audible enough to be heard by Meria hopefully lowering her guard. As he closed the distance being so close Dante could certainly confirm that she was who he was looking for and he put his arms out to give her a big hug, there was nothing more to it, Dante was happy to see her though his motives were different than the one he showed his emotions were true. Wrapping her arms around her he would kiss her neck just below her left ear and smiled.

"Keiso mei Mateo" he said in a quiet intimate breath to her, he guessed it would take her a moment to fiqiure it out but it was a secret message for Fae and general comment to Meria. The message was 'Im here to take you home' or more specifically 'lets go home love'. pulling back his kept his hands on her has fin holding her hips in an intimate manner but their bodies barely distant.

"Ive missed you..."

Knight suddenly looked up from the game, and the pieces paused.

"Well, it depends on if you actually want to get a soul...really. I always misunderstand that part. Apparently, the more you put a person through in life, the faster they gain, personality, fortitude, direction. The trick is not to overdo it, and recycle often...often being...I dunno, every hundred years or so."

Something was really wrong, Jean wasn't where she was supposed to be anymore. Standing up Knights appeared to be listening closely to something.

Owle's little bracelet suddenly exploded to life and there was a crack and a heave as the portal reloacated to the fireplace, leaving Knights to go pale, and the board to get completely tipped over.

"Oh s**t."
