Arioch perched himself near a tree. It wasn't Joe he didn't trust....it was Domenia he didn't trust. She was something Joe never told him about. He didn't expect Joe to tell him everything, even if they were close friends.
His wings folded around him tucking a bit into his crossed arms. His eyes were closed but every other sense was out there. He was muling over his own thoughts, figuring since Joe started to tell Raven the truth, he was probably the elected one to provide a few details...he could honestly say he had nothing to with Domenia.
A smile curved his lips as he remembered her smashed face.

He sighed and looked over to where Arioch was standing. How could the demon stand there looking so relaxed.. so happy? He wondered.
He guessed that Arioch had never screwed up as badly as had, or as often for that matter. Then again, he probably didn't have a mother who damned him to being Incubus and leaving him in his fathers care.
He got up then, still looking at Arioch. His mind was pretty much made up. Unlike his mother, he had provided his daughter with as much guidance as possible.. at least, people who could provide that guidance. She'd be fine on her own.
"I need a break"

"From what?"
He asked, opening one eye. He had his share of faults, some probably worse then Joe's if not a lesser evil..

"Everything?"
He responded, making the response half a question. He was tired of it all, a new start somewhere where no-one knew him, where he could start again without mistakes was what he sought now.
"Alexis has everthing she'll need to make something of her life.. "
If he had had one reason to stay, it was his daughter. But now that her mother knew the truth, he no longer felt the responsibilities towards her he had felt before.
".. I need to start over, find somewhere new"

He now had both eyes opened and was staring at him.
"Take it from someone who has screwed up many times through out his long life. Don't run. Try starting over....Who knows...maybe a new reason will come about to keep you here."

"Hm.. there's a pretty good reason currently in the area for me to not be here.."
He pointed out. It wasn't like he was running from her, just avoiding her and finding a new place in the world to start over.
"Also, wouldn't starting over mean starting over where people don't know you?"
He asked, shaking his head slightly. He wanted a simple life, one where the politics of demons didn't interfeer with him and he didn't have to worry about any power plays.

"It can...but what happens if you find another lady annoyance?"
He asked simply. Either option was a double edge sword.

He smirked, showing some of his old self was returning then.
"Given that I'm under your power now, I don't think I'll find another one like her"
He shrugged. It was possible that he'd run into someone else like her, very improbable that he'd find himself in the same type of situation where he'd see anyone as his saviour again. If he ever got into the almost dead situation again, he swore to himself, he'd prefer death over being saved.

"True..."
Arioch debated letting him out of his sight or not. he didn't want too but he also wanted his friend to maintain what sanity he had....if he had any.

The dragon had decided to take to the skies this time, hoping that this way, he wouldn't miss the father of his Mistress accidentally.
The flight paid of when he spotted both father and Arioch in the park below, he landed a short distance from them, walking the last bit.
Once he got within a few feet of the two demons, he bowed respectfully to them, before speaking.
"your daughter requires your presence, Sir"
He had been about to say good bye to his friend and master as 'that guy' showed up, almost like out of the blue and spoke to him.
"Does she now?"
He asked, his voice already showing his usual frustration at seeing the dragon near him.
"Sir, she is not well.. I fear that we went too far.. "
He didn't know if Joe knew about what he had been up to with his daughter, nor did he care, right now, his concern lay in his Mistress and her welfare. And she wanted her dad.
"You went.. too far?"
The next thing that could be heared was him having a cursing fit, which once it slowed down, left him looking straight at the dragon, anger clearly shown in his eyes. He'd deal with the dragon soon, as soon as he checked on Alexis.
"Where is she?"
He shrank back from that look. He had come across it before and knew it did not bode well for him.
"resting in her room, Sir"

Arioch shifted his gaze from father to slave and was already moving away from his perch, wings extending.
"Apparently, you still have a reason to stay." He pointed out, trying not to smile at his friend's reaction towards the dragon. Yet he wasn't going to show his concern for Alexis....not yet. Someone had to keep a cool head for Joe.
He walked over to stand beside his friend. "Shall we find out?"

It had been a few months since the news that his daughter, his little missy, was no longer so little and was with child, only to loose the child not long after.
Currently, he was sitting on his white lounge with a coffee in hand, he had moved back only a few weeks ago and was enjoying the peace that came with being back home.
Not that he had hated his time with Arioch. It was nice to have things back the way they had been before Raven had lost her memory.
Of course, the tention between him and Raven was an ongoing problem. He felt guilty for dissapearing on her like he had and for not being able to return her memory to him. Neither were things he could change and not being around for a few years was not his fault, though, he didn't see it as such.
His mind wandered towards the demoness who seemed to be rather quiet, maybe she had decided that he was not worth the risk of having to acquire a new body, though he guessed that she was just biding her time.
Just the thought of her brought up a mental picture of her, dressed only enough to cover what would be inappropriate to show in public, and those boots which made her legs look longer than they were.. without realising, he started fantasising about her. She may not be his master anymore, but she'd known how to manipulate the incubus and how to leave her hooks in him even though she was no longer in his life per se.

During those months, Raven had left the week after their visit with Ame to visit her old home in Melnibone with Arioch's help. She had returned there in hopes she'd be able to remember the lost memories. She hadn't believed anyone else survived the war losses like she had until a certain little bird made her presence known.
Everything about the girl seem to reflect the greens of her feathers from her wings, except for the dark eyes and black hair. A pretty thing, Raven had thought and looking at the shackles and bangles on her wrists, Raven figured she had to have been a slave...which she found a bit unusual for the girl was a bird and in melnibone it was almost unheard of.
Withdrawing from memory lane, Raven stepped up to the front door of Joe's home. She took a deep breath before glancing behind her to the young lady standing behind her, hands folded in what was her lap if she was sitting.
Raven looked back at the door and set herself to knocking on it. She herself was dressed in her usual black and dark blue gear whereas the quetzal behind her was in a mint green dress that barely met her half thigh.
