Lorey wished she could say he was all hers, but there was Rose, whether in spirit or memory. Lorey would never have his whole heart... but what she had was more than enough.
After kissing him back, she smiled. "All yours... we have each other." A sigh was heaved.
Lorey looked over to his plate of food to snatch a bit of toast, holding it up for him. "And I have to take care of you. Get some healthy weight back with all that muscle..."

Richard bit off a piece of the toast and laughed. "But you'll ruin my figure I've worked sooo hard to get." He gave her another goofy smile, kissing her gently.

"Oh, I would never ruin your figure... I like that too much. But you have all this muscle, and that takes energy, and you never eat like you should. So there." She never ate like she should, but it was a process in the making. Lorey couldn't down a beautiful meal without getting sick in some way, but she would get better. It would just take time.
While she picked out bits of fruit, she couldn't help but think that this was all too calm... it was a bit too perfect.
Was that just her?

"Fine I'll eat...for you." He winked, getting another bite of toast. He had to admit...it was all feeling a bit too quiet. He liked it this way, but couldn't help but feel...happy? no..it was paranoia...but really...who could tell the difference anymore?

-is dragging this out, out of pure boredom xD -
"Good." It was nice to take care of someone else for a change. She should have been looking out or herself, really, but to see him smile and know he was at least well fed made her feel just as nice.
Lorey adjusted herself on his knee a bit before reaching over to her own plate for an orange slice. "So..." she said, now thinking of other things that didn't involve so much pain and trouble. "Once all of this calms down... would you even want to live here? Because I'm not sure if I like the idea myself."

-lol sure, fine with me. >w<-
Richard closed his eyes and tilted his head back, thinking. "I agree....How about..." He opened one eye at her. "How about you and I just travel the galaxy, looking for the perfect place. Hm?" He smiled at her. The idea of being with Lorey and exploring new planets to find the place they'd live the rest of their lives together...seemed nice.

"If we could do that, I'd say yes in a heartbeat."
She imagined all the different places they could see, all the different people and the homes they could live in. They'd be happy together, and maybe... maybe even have the family Richard wanted to have with his wife. That is, if he felt he could possibly be a good father after everything that had happened.
"Where should we escape to first?"

Raquel had led Sveriana all the way back to Damian's. When they finally reached the large white house, she stopped near the front door. "...C-could you give me a moment?...like alone to see Damian...just a moment....?" She asked of Sveriana as she reached for the door knob. "Just wait here..." She instructed as she scooted herself in, shutting the door behind her.
At hearing the door click shut, Richard's easy smile disappeared. He gently slid Lorey off his lap, if not a bit reluctantly. Standing, he came face to face with Raquel. "You..." He said with venom.
Though Raquel hardly looked at him. She focused on Damian who was still strewn on the couch. She gently leaned over the seat and placed the small silver bracelet on his chest, hoping that would be enough to stir him. She wasn't sure if she could even look him in the eye right now, but she'd like to at least seem him for probably the last time.

Merely nodding to Raquel at her request, Sveriana leaned on the wall that led to the door of the house while humming to herself. She could be patient for a little while longer, she had a score to settle with Richard anyways. No one made her draw blood and lived to tell about it, and this man would surely die by her hands.

Lorey's head spun a bit from standing up too quickly, but she soon came to her senses once that growl escaped from Richard. The situation was all too clear: Raquel had come back, and there would be conflict.
She took a few long strides to his side to clamp on to his wrist.
"Richard," she warned in her own rather aggressive way, though Lorey's version of aggressive was anything from convincing. The only thing threatening was the grip she had, one that was tight and unrelenting.
The subtle weight upon his chest was not what woke him; it was the presence of someone looming over that made his narrow eyes open.
And once they did, they beheld the face of what Damian found to be an angel.
"You," he croaked, saying the word with tenderness where Richard had venom.
His upper body was so sore from a conflict he couldn't quite remember... but it was brought into an upright sitting position regardless of the pain.
As Damian did so, the little bracelet fell onto his lap.
Slightly trembling fingers lifted it, confused.
"Did Enty find you...?" he asked aloud, unaware of any conflict or problem. His Raquel was back. It was all his fuzzy mind could process.

Raquel's eyes watered slightly, not able to look at his scratched but perfect face. Though the comment regarding Enty confused her. "N-no...I...I had to come back-" She stopped, her voice wavering a lot. Swallowing hard, she managed to make her way to him. She gently wrapped her arms around his neck, fighting back tears as she took in his smell and feeling. "I'm- s-so....sorry...Damian...." She said quietly, kissing him on the neck.
Richard was going to step forward but stopped himself when Lorey grabbed his wrists. He silently obeyed but felt soemthing terribly off about this.

Damian's forehead was pressed into the curve of her neck. Somehow, he couldn't believe she was back... even if she had said that she loved him before she had left, he somehow could not fathom why she had returned at all.
And with a bracelet that Enty had not given to her, no less.
"I sent him to find you," he muttered, after taking many calm, steady breaths. Thanks to his injuries, they were not deep as he would like them to be, nor as calming. Damian did not even remove his forehead from her shoulder, for fear she would smell the alcohol upon him. And yet, added to this inhibition, the more he thought, the more this was not right...
"How did you come by the bracelet if it was not from Enty...?"

**ah I am SO Sorry! We had a random family study thing and I had to jet for a sec!! D:**
Raquel didn't say anything for a moment, she simply held him tighter. "Just...I'm sorry...Please tell me you believe me when I say I'm innocent...please Damian..." She whispered in his ear, trying hard not to shake, for she ahd no clue as to when Sveriana would enter an probably break the last bit of trust that Damian had with her.

Aside from her tight squeeze upon his sides, Damian was growing very uncomfortable. There was something in her voice... fear. Something was wrong, but he wasn't sure of what, or how to prevent it from growing. And the fact that she hadn't even answered his question struck him deeply.
"Raquel," he said, very slowly and carefully bringing his face in front of hers. Refined hands cupped her face, while his silver eyes looked straight into her green. "I believe you. But what is happening? There is something else..."
Lorey looked on with a bit of fright. She could feel it, too... that something was looming over them. Raquel was acting like she was on a mission of sorts, saying things to get an answer right away as if she may never get to again.

((And, here's my cue...))
And like clockwork, Sveriana entered the doors as soon as Raquel tried to apologize for her actions. Smiling as she walked inside, she leaned on Raquel gently and looked around, as if no one else were around. "Hmm, this is a nice place you got here Raquel dear."
Looking down to Damien, she smiled a little and shook her head. "So is this the guy that took you in eh? A little gruff, but with a...womanly touch, he could be a looker." Laughing a little, she looked over to Richard, and her smile instantly faded. "Oh, I've got quite the score to settle with you my friend. I'm so glad I got reacquainted with my good friend Raquel here, she led me right to you." She said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out an old-style butterfly knife, which she whipped around before flicking the blade out.
