Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tomo laughed and waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, Sten. Have a drink." He said gesturing to the bar. He smiled, holding Cass near the bar so she could reach her drink. "I'll pass, but thanks." He added, smiling at the woman in his arms... his fiancee...

Tomo kissed her forehead and set her glass on the bartop. "I could use some sleep, too." He said with a smile. "And if your back starts to hurt, just wake me up and I'll put a new 'wrapping' on it." He said as he walked up the stairs with her. He sighed contently as his skin stopped glowing slowly. That was a relief. At least they could sleep now. He could still feel the power flowing through him, though. Hopefully it would be there to stay.

((See you later, guys!! I'll be leaving for a couple of days, a cooling off period for my mother. *walks away*))

Through the back door of the Muffin, two figures came in. Both of wings, and both of solemn expressions. The girl looked like she was going to be sick to her stomach, her face more pale and green than her hair. Almost like she were going to be sick to her stomach at any moment. Taller, the male, was covered in mud, and his hands of blisters. He, too, looked almost sickly angry at something, as they headed inside.

Ellie couldn't speak. She couldn't even open her mouth, as she carried two pieced of paper on the inside of her jacket. Photographs of the grave mishap. But, she needed to talk to Tomokazu. It was important. Ellie blinked at Ever, and he knew what he must do.

Ever looked up the stairs, as he comforted his sister with an arm, and took a deep inhale of breath. "Tomokazu." was his breif command, though his voice emanated pure sadness, and almost a little bit of indifference. It was just too... Unbearable what had happened. This needed to be covered up quickly, though.

Although her brother stepped backward, eyes on the floor, Ellie stepped forward to the blond. One shaky hand reached into her jacket, and pulled out a photograph, extending it to Tomokazu warily. At the bottom, in Cassanova's curvy handwriting lay the name 'Angeline.'

Ever looked up, barely able to make eye contact. Somehow, Ellie finding it had made it all feel like their fault.. "W-we .. We uh. Got a package today." With that, he nudged Ellie, but she shook her head violently. She wouldn't make Tomo look at the picture they'd taken. And, after they did, it would be burnt.

Ellie blinked away tears as she hugged Tomo, and pulled out of her jacket of which she could not look at. "Th-that one you're holding is from years and years ago. This is from thismorning." she said, barely able to choke her words out, as she extended the photograph of the opened package, where it had lay on the front steps of the Muffin. Gulping back sobs, Ellie looked at Ever who was still covered in dirt from the burial.

"Victor." Ever spat, eyes gleaming, and shining with anger. "How could he!? She was.. his daughter too. What'd he.. What'd he accomplished?" Ever argued mostly to himself, hsi fingernails digging into his palms.

Ellie cried into Tomo, having quickly jumped at him into another hug. It was just awful! "You can't tell her!" she sobbed, as her wings lay almost flat on her back, completely dead of all emotion.

While Tomo had been called downstairs, the first vibrant crack of lightning struck, and Cass clung to his pillow. Rolling her torso onto her side, her nails dug into the cloth. All day she'd actually already been able to twitch her toes, but, only a tingly sensation had subsided. It was not a constant thing, either. She could only move sometimes, others, not. Her eyes stared at the door intensely, as if making him come back faster to comfort her.
