Toole threw his amulet on, and thankfully his under robe was still intact, the plain white thin fabric wasn't much, but it covered all the important parts. Toole coiled the makeshift rope off to the side and walked up to the door. "Long time no see, hopefully I didn't make you wait too long, but your looking rather well today. You already met Jezabelle it seems, but..." Toole smiled shaking his head; "i apologize, you didn't come all this way to listen to me blather on about nonsense, but lead the way."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jezabelle saw Ailes come in and she immedately pounced on her giving Ailes a hug. "I'm glad you're back, your sister scared me at first. I think were okay now, I got water boiling, and the table and chairs wiped down so we can sit." Jezabelle let go and went back to watching the stove and setting cups out.

Ailes patted her head, "awww, don't be scared of her she's all bark and no bite." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Akuma stopped him in the doorway, "I noticed something a little different about my sister and if it is what i think it is... you're going to have to be comfortable talking to me... so you're not wasting my time by talking. what do you want?"

"Well before we left the middle of nowhere to come back here Ailes mentioned that you were angry. On the way back i was concerned because Jezabelle shys away from angry people. I don't think either of you met each other properly during visits to my house. I didn't want the wrong first impressions being made on either side." Toole became a bit more somber looking as his thoughts changed in the short silence; "Akuma I have done a lot of thinking, i want to thank you for teaching me to appreciate what I have, and beating it into me in the woods while you were alive. I was in the wrong, and wish to apologize for the my mistakes and mistakes people made because my actions. I know its one of many touchy subjects, and frankly i don't know how you're going to react. One of the reasons why i never said anything the last couple times we crossed paths was on the grounds I lacked the courage to ask you. I'll fully understand if you get upset, and I'll take the licks coming to me. I'm going to marry you sister, but i want to try and settle any ill will between you and I so the event is a happy one. That is all I have on my mind at the moment."
Toole felt a weight shift off his shoulders, but he was still apprehensive of what Akuma would do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jezabelle turned around; "I did not know that at the time, and she knocked the door in, i propped it up for now in the frame, but it needs fixed properly later or it could fall on someone. I wish I could go down into town, because I would find us something sweet to munch on with tea. Maybe i can ask Toole for a ride, or do you wish for me to remain here?"

Akuma smiled, "Child, I have no clue what you are talking about, but the only issues you're going to have will come from my mother and father... Did you even ask them for their daughter's hand? I know Lucid's going to get an a** chewing for it, that's why i have to be there when he goes to meet him... " she left him with that to think about and went into the house, "Ailes! Our father is being an idiot!" Ailes leaves Jezabelle's side to go comfort her sister, "What did he do now?" "He fell in love with a living woman!" Akuma flopped herself into a kitchen chair and rested her head in her hand, "Damn my idea of Sorrow coming to the Abyss..." she muttered under her breath.

Toole thought for a minute then walked to the edge of the island looking out over the ground below. "Its funny how family traditions get swept aside in the throws of love and lust."
Jezabelle brought the tea over and poured three cups. The forth cup she left turned upside down on the tray. "Is there something wrong with him falling in love with a living person?" Jezabelle moved to a free chair and sat down looking between the two.
Toole came in about 5 minutes after and sat down. He didn't say anything since he was unsure if he would interupt by speaking."

Akuma hissed, "He's in love with a woman whom is one hundred and fourty two years younger than him! isn't that a bit wrong! And hell, they've only know each other for six and a half days!" Ailes sighed, "Love has no age; nor time... it is adventitious, and knows no limits." Akuma stared at Ailes for a long moment then let her head fall to the table, "Oh lovely! she's got you speaking backwards too!!!"

"Sorrow is in love?" Jezabelle honestly sounded shocked to hear the name.
This of course caught Toole's interest; "142 so that would make him 162, and...Oh..oh....no." Toole rose up and coming around flipped the forth cup over and poured a little bit in and drank it quickly before pouring a full cup and walking back to take his seat.

"Well, you've seen my father! What's so shocking! He's dead... just like me..." Akuma went quiet and sipped her tea.

"Well he seemed real enough to me when he made me all better, and you're sitting there in that chair talking to us, and in my book that is alive. Dead people normally don't move, they stay motionless and make you cry." Jezabelle fumbled with the jewel necklace she was wearing.
Toole took a drink of tea and looked at Ailes and Akuma; "Your father must be really good at calming people. I just don't see how he got her to loosen up and drop off so much hate."

Akuma sighed, "I donno, but she was willing to die for him..." she shifted uncomfortably remembering the battle, then dropped her tea cup and touched her lips, "Oh s**t!"

Jezabelle was out of her chair, the clothehanging from her back pocket swung to bunch up perfectly in her hand She wiped the table, the floor, and using a sweeping motion to pull the broken cup piece back away before picking them up one at a time and wrapping them up in the rag for the moment. She set the rag down at her seat as she circled around the table to pull down another cup and brought it over to set it upside down in front of Akuma.
"Its alright, i'll get the tiny slivers later when I sweep, but here is a new cup." Jezabelle backed away a step before moving off to set back down at her seat.
Toole leaned back in his chair, Ailes could handle the latest development, because he was thinking on what could drive her that far. Was Kaos the sort of man women would die to be with him. Even if that were true then there had to be his pick of women in the abyss for him to choose from. Why Sorrow, what made her stick out more then the others. Toole thought about it as his eyes lost focus and he stared off into space.

Sinis woke up from the light shining through the window. The rain had cleared up and it was mid afternoon.

Toleranth Jezabelle was out of her chair, the clothehanging from her back pocket swung to bunch up perfectly in her hand She wiped the table, the floor, and using a sweeping motion to pull the broken cup piece back away before picking them up one at a time and wrapping them up in the rag for the moment. She set the rag down at her seat as she circled around the table to pull down another cup and brought it over to set it upside down in front of Akuma.

Toole thought about it as his eyes lost focus and he stared off into space. Akuma pushed the cup away, "No no dear, i'm done drinking tea. sorry for breaking one of the few cups you have." there was another knock on the door as it fell in with a loud thud that made everyone jump; including Ive who was standing in the doorway, "Damn, and your dad really wants you to live here... it looks to me like the damned thing is falling apart!"

Jezabelle shrugged; "It wasn't my cup to begin with, it belongs to your sister, and i just cleaned it up since I had the cleaning rag on me."
Toole stood up and moving over picked the door up and set it aside studying the hinges a moment. "Evening Ive, the tea is still warm if you fancy a cup, and it's not the house's fault. The hinges show strain damage and judging the looks of the Jamb from here it was blown off the hinges forcefully. I can bring replacements from home tomorrow morning, and have it good as new."
Jezabelle looked at the table; "You can't go home Toole." She spoke at near a whisper as if afraid to say it.
