Welcome to Gaia! ::

Monty rolled his eyes and smirked. "That was a very nice shot Kalore." He said clapping his hands together. "And I'm not a cheater or a sore loser. You are simply confusing me with the forces of nature." He said refering to the arrow. "It was the arrow not me." He blamed and held back laughter.

Gambler yawned again and rubbed her eyes. She couldn't hide it or keep the sleepiness at bay any longer. "Yeah. I think I'm going to throw in the towel and go to sleep." She placed her winning hand down on the table and both men groaned at losing again. They nodded to her and quickly took the deck to see if she was cheating. Gambler stood up and got out of her chair. Looking at Rave she gave him a sleepy smile. "I hope it isn't too much of a bother to sleep in a room right? I could always go back to my apartment." She yawned again, shaking the sleep off so she can at least get a few words in.

Monty scowled at Kalore and flicked his forehead. "If you learned anything in your school, elf, is that in any object that force acts upon is acting back to it. So, it was the arrow that tickled your ear not exactly me." He said looked at the arrow and flicked Kalore again.

"Um...." She counted how many guys were in her group and she nodded after making sure the second time she counted. "I have eight guys in my group so eight. It would be nine to include me but....I'm the boss so I don't think that counts. So eight." She said holding his hand and swinging it slightly, because she liked to do that and because she wanted to stay up longer enough to not literally fall asleep while walking and end up tumbling down. That would just be horrible.

Monty rolled his eyes. "Your arrows aren't that impressive, Kalore." He took up his bow and stood in the same spot and focused on his target. Maybe he could show off with a little light action. Especially since he could control fire like no one's business.

Gambler nodded and hugged Rave to her nuzzling his chest. 'Okay...Don't be so clingy or smothering the guy. He might not like that okay?' Her mind thought and she sighed. Maybe it was right. He didn't need someone too clingy or on top of him all the time. "Okay Rave. Thank you." She kissed his lips softly and then slowly went off into a room and gave him a warm, sleepy smile and closed the door. She didn't take the time to look at the room and went to bed directly and layed down on it with the coat that Rave gave her. She cuddled in it and sighed, and felt some what alone without Rave with her. "Thank you Rave."

Gambler tried to let sleep claim her finally but it didn't. She lay wide awake in the big bed and looked up, staring into nothing. Maybe it was just her but she felt this feeling of emptyness inside. She felt really alone. It was just her being a childish. She couldnt....Yeah she could. "Rave." She breathed softly. She wanted Rave with her. She just wanted to feel him close next to her. Was that asking alot without trying to be clingy? Who cared anymore? She didn't but she didn't want him to be obligated to be with her. Sleep wasn't going to come unless she had him with her. Which was being like a child. No. "Rave." She said again and got up going to the door and opening it but he wasn't there. 'Damn it. I'm too freaking slowly.' She thought and turned slowly around to close the door.

Monty stiffened at the contact. He didn't think Kalore would touch him. Not even to high five him. For a moment he wanted to close his eyes and lean into the touch but he bite his tongue and remembered where he was. That was why he forbid anyone to touch his hair. It was like a secret weapon to use against him. Even those that managed to be close to him along time ago used it. Clearing his throat he focused again and hit the target. "I don't think so Kalore.....You won't mess me up with that trick." He knew how to ignore and focus when it came to bedding women. He took up another arrow and was going to really light this one up.

Gambler looked up at Rave with this sense of calm. She rubbed her eyes and looked at him again. "Um..." How could she asked him to sat with her without sounding needy? It had to do with the tone she figured. "Um..." She couldn't spit out. She sighed and hung her head, not looking at Rave. "This is going to sound lame and stupid and maybe...clingyish...But..." She looked up at him. "Could you stay with me? Please?" She asked, hoping he didn't think he mad.

Monty growled. "You do know that it is my element right? I was born into the damned thing so I can control it from far away." He could even swallow up whole fires if he wanted too. Monty readjusted his stance but didn't bother to light up his arrow. He almost gave in again to the skillful touch but that was the trick. It was to make you miss. He drew the sting back and let go quickly, hitting his arrow.

Gambler smiled and hugged Rave and nodded at what he said. She wasn't going to protest. Grabbing his hand she lead them to the bed and got on, motioning him to join her. She lay down, still holding his hand, not wanting to break the contact that seemed to get her to finally calm her and her emotions down to be able to sleep.

Monty looked at Kalore and smirked. "Not too shabby? Who says that?" He joked and looked back at the target. He stiffen again as Kalore once again touched his hair. He let it go that he did so when about to shoot but now that he wasn't. For some reason or another, the demon didn't scold the elf and let him have his way. Maybe he could sacrifice his hair to keep Kalore from being sad and depressed. Yes, he could do that.

Gambler snuggled closer to Rave and totally knocked out. What a relief it was. She had mulitple headaches, she had to go through crazy and dangerous traps, she faced Lucien to get to Kalore and had to run like hell out of there to try and save him, question Eldin and before all of that she had to papers to work with and calls....She sighed in her sleep, taking as much advantage of this peacetime with Rave next to her because it was a really long day and peacetime never seemed to last.


Monty really wanted to lean into the touch but he...He didn't want to. Not here. Not now. Possible not ever. It was relaxing but it was distracting in it's own way. "Kalore." He said quietly. "Kalore...Please stop touching my hair." He said even more quietly. He wasn't going to kill their good time with him yelling so he was trying to be peaceful.

Monty looked at Kalore from the corner of his eye and nodded. "It's fine Kalore." He said and went to go and get their arrows that they shot off. He sighed and resisted the urge to run his hand through his hair to ward off the sensation of Kalore's hands in his hair. It felt as if he was still touching it. Shaking his head to got the arrows and walked back to Kalore and handed him his arrows. "Let's go again. We have nothing better to do." He said.
