Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vaine grabbed the cart and nodded, "Unfortunately, You'll have to come to my abode.... I was going on a walk... I didn't expect to be donating to a charity today." he grumbled as he began pulling the cart in the direction of his home, "Come along now... If you want to get paid." he shouted over his shoulder while making his way to the cobblestone driveway.

He pulled the cart up to the house and walked inside, "I shall write out the document in which you need to withdraw the money." as he made his way to his study he filled out the necessary documents for them to receive their currency.

As he returned to her he placed an envelope in her hand with a red wax seal, "This statement will allow you to withdraw six hundred and ninety five pounds of gold from your nearest bank, however, i wouldn't advise doing it all at once... it will take roughly six month for the whole thing to transfer."

Vaine returned her to the door and opened it, "Now then... I wish you a safe journey." he said while glancing down at his recent purchase, "It would seem I have some unwrapping to do."

He watched the woman's hasty retreat and looked a bit concerned, but shrugged it off considering his circumstances, and examined the crystal lotus, "...Where's that damned boy-"

"I'm hooooome!" a young man called from down the path. Hiro, Kaos's only son, had just returned from Dagon's keep and he seemed more chipper than usual; which worried Vaine.

"What are you all excited for boy... Put yourself to good use and carry this damned object into my study." Vaine grumbled while returning to the gloom of his home.

Hiro dropped his bags were he stood and placed his hands on his hips, "what.... I don't even get a Hello?" he grumbled as he walked over to the wagon and tapped the side of the crystal lotus, "This thing is massive... When did he make this purchase?"

With a bit of effort the lotus lifted from the shaky crate and moved through the open doors, Hiro kept it levitating to Vaine's study and let it down as gently as he could manage. The lotus landed with a bit of a thud and Hiro gasped for breath, "Christ Vaine... What the hell is that thing?"

"Get out!" he growled sternly, Paying no mind to Hiro's return.

Pissed beyond words, Hiro stormed out of the study, out of the house, and decided on going to rent a room at the inn, rather than returning to what he thought was his home.

After making sure he was alone Vaine returned to his study and sat down in his chair, "Good... Last thing I need is the boy just returning and getting his face blown off by whatever is in this contraption," he read the card several times over and when he thought he had it down he spoke the words to the best of his ability, and waited for something to happen.

If Vaine's heart had been beating it wouldn't be at the moment. These few moments when she had kissed him was enough to make even his cold dead icy vampire heart melt... a bit. he rose from his chair and stood before her, "Mine, huh..." he repeated as he became lost in her luscious lavender eyes.

after a few moments of twirling the soft silk locks of her silver hair and he snapped out of the trance he was in, "I.... You will need clothing... Won't you." he stammered as he shuffled passed her and threw one of his long black cloaks around her, "Keep this around you." he instructed, "We need to run into town and get you some clothing."

As he made his way to the door, the sun's rays hit him like a sledgehammer and he stumbled backward, "Damn it..." Vaine walked into the kitchen and grabbed a potion from one of the wooden cupboards and drank it. after returning to the door he ushered her outside and whistled for his horse, "Demon! We need to go to the tailor. And there'll be a lady on board, so behave yourself."

A muscular black stallion with long black mane trotted over and snorted at Vaine.

"Don't you give me that. Make it snappy, or the lady will get cold." he growled as he mounted the beast and offered a hand out to Asillin, "are you okay with this?"

Demon rode off into the high noon sunlight, which left Vaine reeling. He swayed slightly, but after a few breaths, got his balance back and held tight to his racing beast of a stallion.

They arrived in the town's center just in time to meet the tailor at the door. Vaine dismounted Demon, then helped Asillin. He turned to the man and snarled, "Closing shop early again?"

The man trembled and the keys fell to the ground, "N-Not at all sir.... Just Reopening after my lunch break...." he lied as he opened the door and bowed.

Vaine escorted Asillin inside and waited for the Tailor.

"S-So what can I do for you today Sir Vaine?" The man stuttered as he grabbed his tools and waited for orders.

"I want you to do what she says, Alright?" Vaine demanded, Giving the man a stern look.

Vaine turned to Asillin, "Order anything you'd like... I'll be right out front here and If he tries anything bad.... Just scream or something..."

Vaine smiled, pleased with her looks and nodded, "Next week then..." he turned to his horse and brushed through it's long mane, "Demon... You should go to the inn and wait for Hiro... I must go visit a friend in a distant land..."

The horse snorted and nodded it's head , then trotted off through the crowd.

Vaine turned back to Asillin and took her hand, "would you like to come to Enthelda with me?"

"My sense of taste would rise up against me if I killed such a great taste such as this so quickly." Vermillion's stomach growled otherwise he looked down; "Shush you..." He looked back at Anabel smiling; "It appears that I will need them after all.'

Vermillion had to smile; "Thought you mentioned it was a small salad, you can feed an army with that bowl." Of course Vermillion mentions this as he nearly has half the first plate of turkey sandwiches devoured and still going as if he were still starved.
