Welcome to Gaia! ::

Banshi took in a last puff of the pipe before the tobacco burned out. Breathing out the light blue grey smoke, she nodded her head lightly, closing her eyes. "...That would be great." Banshi could fall asleep anywhere, and find anyplace comfortable enough to sleep in practically... Being a vagabond nearly all your life will do that to you; not because she couldn't of had a nice home... But because she never felt like that was something she was called to have. Although, she certainly would not argue that a bed, especially so close to someone she cared for so much, was not more comfortable than sleeping on a branch of a tree outside the graveyard or in the Black Rose forest.

Banshi turned over on her side and stared at him for a few moments before speaking. A small smile came across her face, although the look in her eyes, despite being gentle, personal, and tired, was serious. "Michael, I am going to start you and Hawk on a new training routine... One I know you won't like, although I have no doubts it will do as I intend for it to." Sitting up, Banshi sat her pipe on the side of the bed and placed her hand against Michael's cheek, leaning over and looking down at him gently. "I understand your affections... But understand, you can't be strong enough to protect me... until you are strong enough to kill me. Otherwise, I could simply protect myself... But there is no protection from time, is there?" Her gentle smile faded some, as she ran her fingers through his hair. "No... I shall never have, nor allow, anyone to take my life. But before my alloted time is done, I need for the ones I love, especially you... to be safe. Best safety lies in fear, and fear is the beginning of wisdom. Yet fear is for the purpose of sustaining one's self, and true love knows no fear... except for the fear of the loss of a loved one. So wisdom in it's truest form, is indeed selflessness." Banshi chuckled, and again smiled. "Yes, I'm tired so I'm not speaking as fluently as usual, but do you understand?"

Banshi fell on top of him playfully, and wrapped her arms around his head, burying her face into his neck, laughing under her breath. "I'll tell you after I see Hawk." She said, then lightly kissing his neck, a funny thing to do, seeing as they were basically cannibal vampires. At least, Banshi found it funny... There again, when she got this tired, and wasn't either fighting or had her mind focused on something... It was easy to slip into a state where nearly everything was funny to her. "Lack of sleep causes insanity, but don't worry, I'm quite sane. I'm sure a few more minutes won't push me over the brink."

"If genius is a form of insanity." She poked fun at herself, and rested her head against his shoulder. "To do the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result each time... At least I try to change things up a bit and figure how to adapt." Banshi smiled, even when joking, she was a little bit serious... Banshi had never been able to help being anything other than very straight-edged, but she usually tried to cover that up with enough layers of fluff to avoid causing others unnecessary stress. She closed her eyes and smiled, being embraced lovingly from another person was something she never got to feel often.

Lily shrugged. "I don't know. Just, somewhere else? She isn't at the mansion, here, or the Knot Club and Cafe. We have a lot of places left." She smiled and shook her head. "I really hope we can get her to not kill her sister."

"I won't know where I'm going. I'll follow you. But I really have no idea how to get there. I'm kinda helpless here." Lily said with a shrug. She felt like that every time, but she pretty much was. She was there so people had company. "I'm ready when you are."

"I would ask how you did that but I don't wanna know." Lily yelled after her. She then proceeded to shrug and hop unto her horse before chasing after Glory.

Banshi gently bit his shoulder, not hard enough for her fangs to pierce the skin at all, and chuckled. "Think, observe, remember, calculate, and take action... it's quite simple."
