Welcome to Gaia! ::

She slide inside behind him, and walked to the window. There was the harbor, and there was their boat. You couldn't miss it. And, most of the children (small specks from her, swarming about larger ones), seemed to find it rather intresting with all that gold.

Slowly, she slide her jacket off her shoulders, and tossed it on a chair. Interlacing her hands behind her back, she would pull and stretch out herself. She almost looked like a cat, waking up in the window sill.

Minerva's arms spread with a smooth jerk, as she yawned. But, she was far from tired. She was ready to play dress up just once for Kichi. Plus, the dress needed some breaking in, once it was on.

She laughed at that, and then turned her gaze to her husband. She smiled at him, as if her mind was elsewhere. And it was. It was on an image that might occur twenty minutes from this point.

Minerva would lean her head back on his chest, and look down at his hands. Without much thought (and since all four of her belt were exposed now), she began to drop them off her hips, one by one. With a loud jingle, studden and bondage belts would hit the ground, all containing small knifes, and one with a bullet in it's hook.

Her hands came from her side to rest lightly on her hips, and follow his up to her waist. A few strands of hair rested lightly across her line of vision as she felt his warmth against her skin.

Mixed in with the beautiful view, and the warmth of the sunlight, Minerva found herself not wanting to move away from the window. A small sound, like the start of a word, came from her throat, as she placed her hand against the sill. In that short span of a second, her free hand came to rest on his lower back.

"We still playin' dress up?" She said, as her twinge crawled back into her voice. It seemed to come back at times when she was happy or excited. "This doll might not look too good in a dress like that."

She laughed softly, taking a small step with her right, then her left, so her hips moved against him. It was about now that her fighter instinct came in handy, with that small step, she angled her right slightly behind his, with an intent to turn and face him in less than a moment.

"really? why?"

He asked questioningly, he wasn't expecting any kind of real conversation but he was morbidly curious as to what her plans were, or more accurately why she was apologizing for. He kept the darts ready under his sleeve knowing he might need to use them, but he didn't make any moves towards them or fiddle with them he merely kept from pulling the trigger ready to do what he might have to do if things went south. He had to admit she had caught him off guard with that response, he needed an apology right now, he needed some sort of calm to beset his mind or he might just jump in too deep.

He kept his arms wrapped gently around her knowing she was most likely armored due the almost insanely complicated means of unraveling it but not concerned about it, armor was the lest of his worries, a small knife in the gut was a bigger threat right now.

Dante's hands stopped for a second he hadn't expected this kind of honesty, and he certainly hadn't prepared himself for that at all. After his initial shock he held her close yo him his left hand putting his hand behind her head to lay her head on his shoulder. making comforting 'shhh shhh' sounds.

"relax, its alright..."

He would feel something hit her side as if someone had poked her hard with their finger but that was all, then if all went well her eyes would become heavy and shed relax even the armor could not protect her at this range though as soon as shed feel her self fall asleep she would able to come fully to her eyes greeting a mid day son on a quiet empty beach Fae would recognize it but Fae would be completely silent the beach was the island Dante and her had officially become married on in the eyes of the counsel.

She would hear the sea in front of her, the gentle trade winds in her hair and see for miles out tot he ocean. Behind a thick forest blocked travel but the sound of running water trickled not far behind the forests edge. paradise was here, and she would feel it, tot he point of it being almost too real, her skin feeling the warmth of the sun, the air on her skin all of it tot he point that it would most tickle her in a sensitive kind of way.

"b***h..."

Dante was notoriously lucky and the one thing that had proven itself over and over again was that carrying many a weapon is usually good luck... this time he was right, the fai chi had snagged one of the swivel rings for his shoulder holster then slid between the leather holster strap and his chest harness.

"Damn b***h, your worth an arm to see you back in hell."

Dante let Faes body drop and pulled the fair chi from the trenchcoat looking at its end the sickingly oil like sheen coated it and he knew what she was up to he felt his back for a scratch and dint feel one but in the position he couldn't feel anything back there. He realized the irony before the GPD he probably would have fallen for girl that devious, but time is weird like that he had cast his lot with 'the good guys' and such was life. C'est la vie... now came the hard part, Picking Up Fae he kissed her cheek, it wasn't Faes fault and he wished he could comfort her right now, sadly there would be little time for that.

He whistled for a cab and held the intoxicated Fae into the seat then scooted in himself.

"shes had a bit too much to drink mind giving us a ride to the stadium I need to get her back home there."

The taxi driver didnt say much and headed on the way, he probably thought Dante was going to take advantage of her, which he supposed in a way he was... but not like that, he had his dignity still.. well beyond sucker punching his wife with a tranq dart of sorts. Anywho off they went to regroup and hopefully take care of this whole Meria issue.

Dante threw a wad of twenties at the man and waved him to get the heck out of here, which he gladly complied with, and helped Rafe, Ralph or whatever his name was carry Fae to the room.

"Where is Tellus?" he asked as they carried the rather light Fae up a flight of stairs. Dante was really more concerned about Fae right now and he was after all working on a time limit. " I hope your ready because we are down to twenty minutes..."

Dante sighed in the dream scape he hated this game... its always three doors, always too many choices to flip a coin with, he didn't want to break the like to play paper rock scissors but he did hear a fox barking, that was good sign... and that angry door, maybe that was Fae who just happened to be really pissed at him.

He decided to play it safe however and opened the black door, foxes were usually a good helper and her at least he reached for the door but looked around seeing if any reaction would come from any other doors, or if Rafe would correct him.

getting none he would open the door and pray, heck for all he knew Artemis was in there, and he could definitely use her help.

Dante looked up at the place confused, he recognized it and he was glad at least one of them was glad to see him. He knew he didnt have much time, so he bowed and bluntly put his proposal forward.

"I need help getting Fae back, shes trapped somewhere in this mindscape and I need to get back, and get rid of Meria. I apologize for the bluntness, but Im unfortunately out of time."

He then waited for any kind of response, surely they would assist him in this endeavour? surely one of them would.
