Telling the Folks

Torvil puttered about the lab, not even looking at the clock. He was working late, very late into the night... what he was working on was something ultra special top secret, something only he knew about, and he didn't want it to be found out yet... He chuckled and slowly stirred the vat of boiling black liquid, not even away of how close to dawn it was.

Having left Nani to sleep in the apartment so he could come home and finish his packing, Surion drops a bag of clothing near the washing tub not caring that he jeans he'd wiped the blade on were in that sack as he heads for the kitchen

Torvil's head shot up and he twitched his nose. He smelled... Blood... and not the kind that was usually around here... He put the vat on a low boil and stuck his head out of his lab, watching Surion walk by. "Surion?"

"Yeah dad what" he called back heading for the most vampiric-dragonic drink in the house... blood

Torvil walked out and followed him. "Did you get in a fight... I smell blood..." He frowned. "And not yours..."

"If you could consider it a fight" Surion says after getting his drink, he turns around, there wasn't a scratch on him, and most certainly no new scars

"What did you do Surion?" He asked, looking a tad bit concerned. "If you killed someone I hope you had a good reason..."

"I didn't kill anyone, gave a reminder, yes... Kill, no... Nani stopped me from doing it" he narrows his eyes a little looking into his glass letting out a low growl

Torvil frowned. "Surion... Why did you do it?" He asked. "I need to know the intent behind the action... You KNOW how I feel about violence..." His frown grew more pensive.

"I cut him across the cheek... Dad, I have reason... it's a vow ... I made to myself... and Visha" he doesn't look up

Torvil nodded slowly. "Your vow is between you and Visha... I just wanted to make sure you didn't make the same mistakes I did..." Torvil nodded. "If you feel you did the right thing Surion, then you probably did..."

"Dad, protecting Nani from ever being hurt again is the most important thing in all of Gaia" he finally looks up

Torvil smiled. "Then you DID do the right thing..." Torvil nodded. "And if you ever have need to do it again, I would suggest a bigger knife..." He chuckled.

"Dad there will never be an again, if he ever touches her again there is no warnings. I will do what I intended to do this time" Surion's voice was slightly forceful

Torvil turned his back to Surion to hide the grin that came. "That is to be expected Surion..." He said with a serious tone. "Just let me know if you need something to do the deed..."

"I'll use my bare hands if it comes down to it" Surion growls "Noone hurts my mate... my wife... my fiancee"

Torvil blinked. "Fiancee" He turned, the grin changing to that of an confused smirk.

Surion looks up "Hmm?" he hadn't quite heard his father his mind on how he would tear the b*****d limb from limb

"You called Nani your fiancee.. Did I miss a memo or something?" Torvil said, trying to maintain a straight face, and failing horribly.

"Oh, yeah... I proposed to her by her customs the day before last" he says with a nod

Torvil smiled. "That's wonderful news Surion!" He chuckled and nodded his head. "Quite wonderful news indeed..." He sat down on the table. "So when is the wedding?"

"That's what I'd like to know... not to mention Krista" Ala trudges in, the male's voices having woke her up

Surion blushes slightly

Torvil chuckled and looked over his shoulder. "Good erm... Morning is it?" He laughed weakly and smiled at Ala.

Ala chuckles "Aye it is... Well Surion, spill..."

Surion bites his lip "We were thinking the summer, so that it's nice and warm and we could have it on the beach near the ocean"

Torvil smiled. "That's very nice Surion, I'm very happy for you..." He chuckled and then he swore, running out of the room and down the hall to his lab. "Forgot!"

Surion watches him run and shakes his head "Mum, there's something I want to get for Nani for valentines... but I'll need a co-signer to get it..." he looks at her

Ala smiles and nods, "All right, you are responsible for any and all gold that needs to change hands"

Surion nods

Torvil came running back a few minutes later, panting. "Whew... caught it in time... Didn't want to blow up the house..." He chuckled weakly, leaning on the doorjamb

Ala nods "I wouldn't want that either" she yawns and heads for the store room

Torvil chuckled and nodded, slowly walking back in. "Hey Surion what time is it?"

Surion looks at his watch "About 4am" he admits with a sigh... it was late, and his father still didn't seem to like his job

Torvil blinked. "Hrm..." He rolled his shoulders and then his eyes. "Well... looks like I'll be sleeping during the day today..." He chuckled weakly and shook his head. "How was work?"

"profitable as usual" Surion says digging into his pouch and pulling bills and gold pieces of various sizes/denominations "That's my tips... I have to get my paycheck for my actual pay"

Torvil nodded his head slowly, and then walked over to Surion, and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm happy for you, and proud of you son... You've done good..." He nodded his head, and smiled, then quickly ruffled his hair.

"Thanks dad" Surion says pushing it back into the pouch" he bites his lip, he didn't quite understand why his dad seemed to have done a 180 in thought

Torvil chuckled. "You keep biting that lip of yours and you're gonna bust it..."

Surion screws up his face and sticks his tongue out at his dad... something he hadn't done since he was a kid

Torvil laughed. "And if you make faces they'll freeze like that forever too..."

"No they wont" Surion claims before being normal again and drinking his drink

Ala wanders back out of the store room... her arms wrapped around her chest "Night boys..." she teases as she passes them

Torvil chuckled. "Night love, I'll be in, in a little bit... I have to let work sit for 24 hours now that I've gotten it to set..."

"Night" she says "I'll be up in a few hours to help you out son" she says and closes the door behind her

"I guess I should get at what I came to do this morning" Surion muses as he walks over to wash out his cup

Torvil chuckled. "And what would that be son?" He asked, tilting his head to the side.

"Packing up the rest of my room, tomorrow is moving day" Surion smirks as he heads for the hall

Torvil laughed. "Ah I see... Good luck Surion!" He chuckled and headed for his own room.

Surion nods and waves and ducks into his room

Torvil smiled and entered his own, quite ready to pass out.

A strong scent of fermented blood met his nose and Ala laying mostly conked out with a smirk on her lips

Torvil shook his head. "Oi, the woman's bloody insane..." he murmured, walking over to go check her out.

Ala was zonked, nearly snoring... tell he got close, and then almost as if on autopilot reached up and grabbed hold his shirt and pulled him down

Torvil fell, not used to being pulled off balance. "Whoa!" He grunted, landing on top of her in an odd position.

Ala purred and held tight to his shirt

Torvil chuckled and tried to roll her and move himself so he could be comfy.

More of her arms came un-obstructed she clung to him

Torvil brushed her hair, and tried to make it so she could sleep comfy too.

Ala refused to let go even in her drunken conked out state

Torvil didn't aim to get her to let him go, in fact, he pulled her closer and covered them with a comforter, and closed his eyes, clothes and all.

Ala didn't budge, it could be though she didn't know she did it

Torvil grumbled and just snuggled into her, closing his eyes and letting himself crash

Torvil's Journal

Dear Journal,

So Surion proposed to Nani, and he's fully moving out tomorrow, I'm impressed, and quite proud of him, I hope and wish only the best for him...

My main worry right now is Ala... She seems to be getting back into needing to be so drunk she passes out to sleep again... Maybe I'll pull her aside and have a nice long talk with her, see what's up...

Surion gets mum's help

Surion paced the lobby of the place he was to meet his mum, he was nervous, it was such an important thing to him that this deal go through, because he wanted so desperately to give this to Nani for Valentines.

Ala walks into the building her wings folding as she walks "Well son... have you done everything that needs to be done up to this point

Surion nods "Yeah, now it's just the meeting and getting a co-signer"

Ala nods "And you are certain you have picked everything you think is right for her?"

Surion nods again "Yes"

A man pokes his head out "Surion Rakamash?" he says reading from his planner

Ala motions her son forward

"Thats me" Surion says and heads for the door

"Please come in" the man says and motions the pair inside.....

Sur runs into Nae

She's found shopping to be a relaxing diversion to the regular stress of the day, or at least her kind of shopping. When she is with Shina they go looking for books. When Vinyn comes along, somehow they end up in the pet shop looking at the fish. Arlath goes along the same shopping tactics as Eirnae, though such is limited to when they go looking for quality weapons. This time around, by some small miracle, Eirnae is alone. At least, as alone as someone as she can get. Alimus is but a mental call away, a fact that has always reassured her and boosted her confidence.

It doesn't look like the clerk behind the counter of 'Mostly Magic' is doubtful of Eirnae's confidence at all. In fact, he seems to cringe as the enthused Elven woman goes on about the lack of a label on one of their potions. He knew he should of called in sick today... and she'd looked so mysteriously exotic when she'd first walked in, with that sway of hair about her hips, and all that black leather. He'd been tempted to ask her about something along the lines of having dinner before she'd found their collection of 'magic' potions. By now each tap of her fingernail against the side of the glass bottle makes his nerves tingle in a manner he doesn't relish.

"No label at all," she grouses, 'tap, tap, tapping' away. "How is someone to know if it's not just water and sparkles when there's no label?"

Surion wanders into that selfsame shop, his purpose wasn't browsing though, he was on an errand, partially for himself, partially for his father. He needs ingredients for their alchemy potions. The bell over the door jingles as he enters the slightly dark store, he'd been there before, a couple times, he liked to vary the places he went for his supplies.

He was dressed in black jeans, a blood red tank with his alchemist's necklace a sharp contrast to it's dark color where it hung, and a black complex jacket and boots. He looks over hearing the woman go on and on and raises a brow hearing the words spoken

"I suppose I could give it a sniff test, but the last time I dared to, the darn 'invisibility potion' ended up a charm potion, and I ended up following the shop clerk around all day proclaiming terrible poetry," she finishes with a soft laugh, setting the bottle down onto the counter gently. A part of her is amused by the squirming of the clerk, how easy it was to get him off balance and quaking. The rest of her isn't pleased, and tries to make amends. She crosses her arms over her chest, unconciously hiking up her cleavage into ample view over the hemline of her black leather corseted vest. She shifts her thighs in her snug fitting leather pants, her twin heart tattoo peeking out on her lower back as her hair sways behind her, her pants' waistline riding low on her hips. "I'm sure if you alert your manager of the trouble, it'll be changed right quick."

She half turns as she hears the bell of the door ringing and then the door closing, never liking the thought of someone walking up behind her without her knowledge. If Surion bothers to look down at her toned abdomen, he'll notice yet another tattoo of a tribal moon with a woman's face curled around her belly button. Her brows lift up to show her surprise at seeing a familiar face, her lips twitching into a warm smile as she bows her head slightly in greeting. She slips into Elven without realizing it, being in her element having put a cap on an 'issue' with the shop as she sees it. "Afternoon to you, Surion. Pray tell, what lured you here?"

Surion smiled when he recognized the face of Eirnae... Though his smile was replaced by a look of of bewilderment and confusion. "Uhhh... The only part of that I caught was 'Surion' " he says, though at the same time a look of thoughtfulness crossed his eyes as he did recognize the language she spoke even if just slightly. He stops next a shelf of vials and jars of ingredients picking one up that he needs...

"Oh. My apologies, Surion," she now says in Common, or at least what she still calls Common and Lenore insists on calling 'Modern English'. "We speak Elven around the manor so much that sometimes I forget about others not knowing the language."

She whirls to face the profile of the befuddled teenage clerk, who had just gotten his romani sunglasses on to hide whatever expression his eyes may have given away. He also had been in the middle of sneaking into the back room to escape the 'crazy Elven lady', but Eirnae's arched brow catches him up short. "Would you be so kind as to check if you have any silverleaf in stock?" she asks sweetly, her hands sliding down to her hips to rest meaningfully against their curves, "I do hate to be without my morning tea. Makes me a tad grumpy."

Glad for an opening to reach his sanctuary, the clerk runs off like a shot after bobbing his head once. Geeze, what was with these Elven women, anyway?

Eirnae seems unconcerned with the young man's hasty retreat, turning to press her leather sheathed left thigh against the counter as she watches Surion sort through a selection of herbs. "How are things with you and your parents?"

"Well I don't see mum and dad all that much with work and spending time with Nani, but last I saw they were good, and I'm good, I proposed to Nani so ... yeah... Married by her customs, already are by mine, well my father's" he picked a couple more liquid filled vials and consulted a small list before moving to another shelf

Eirnae does her best to not swallow her tongue when Surion mentions the words 'proposed to Nani'. The result is a shudder that makes its way down her body and ends at her toes, which wriggle inside her knee-high boots like worms seeking refuge in warm earth. "Ahm..." she starts, having to clear her throat to get rid of the slight warble in her voice, "Married by your customs, you say?"

'By the Lady, they are so young to be doing this,' she thinks as her eyes soften to a warm sea green as she watches the muscles of Surion's back shift under the fabric of his shirt. "When you say her customs, do you mean those of the fairy or of the elves?"

"My father's customs of the cliffs, we are married by their customs on their lands, which is basically the cliffs and my parent's property... As for Nani's customs, I suppose I mean any of which she follows" he plucks a couple more vials off the shelf and then turns to walk towards her his bangs falling over his face.

She gives in to her motherly instincts and reaches out to brush his bangs out of his face, tucking them behind an ear. She can't help but crack a small grin as a few stubborn strands refuse to be tamed and slip out to hang in front of his face again. "Sounds like something to ask her about. Wouldn't want to attend your wedding and have fairies scattering rose petals around and making swan dives into the punch bowl while the Elven priestess tried to perform the ceremony."

She pauses as the clerk returns with a small bundle of linen, which she holds out her left hand for. He gingerly lays it down onto her palm, as if he's expecting a viper to dart forward and bite him. "Thank you. You've saved me from many an unpleasant morning," she says with a wink, the clerk's unease slipping from him slowly at her welcome smile. "I do believe this young man wants to check out. I'll just head over here and look at your wands." Her laughter softly trails after her as she heads over to the shelves stacked with wands in their display boxes.

Surion nods "Yeah, though I'm sure Mum and Krista will coordinate them nicely..." he watches as she receives her package and then walks to the wands before stepping up to the counter and dealing with his own purchases. Walking over to her when he's done he thinks for a moment and then nervously asks "You wouldn't know anyone who ... uhm... could teach me Elven would you?" he bites his bottom lip slightly

Eirnae was already turning around as Surion's footsteps announced his approach, partially out of courtesy and the rest because of her dislike of being snuck up on. Her right eyebrow lifts up at his request, but her smile should tell him that she's more amused by it than shocked. "Just full of surprises today, I see," she remarks, putting her back to the shelf of wands and bringing up a hand to tap at her chin with a carefully manicured fingernail. "I don't suppose you'd wish these lessons kept a secret from a certain Kinfolk?" Should her reference confuse him, she is quick to add, "Those related to the Fey are called Feykin or Kinfolk in the world I hail from, Surion."

Surion blinks "From.. what? who? huh?" he slowly ties the dear hide sack he had put his purchases in to a belt loop of his jeans, he was now confused...

She keeps herself from letting out a soft sigh of disappointment, having thought that she'd made it fairly clear who she'd meant. How many women is he involved with that are related to the Fey, for crying out loud? "Perhaps a more direct way to ask it is, 'Would you want the lessons kept from Tinania's knowledge?' After all, I'm presuming you want to surprise her with your mastery of it at a later date."

"Oh! Sorry, yeah" he blushes slightly "I want to surprise her later yes" he nods now that he understands exactly what Eirnae was saying

Heh.. So the young man could blush. She dismisses the temptation to expand on the various teasing phrases that crop up as a result of this fact. "Since I'm still getting back into the swing of things, I do have some time on my hands. Now... " She recrosses her arms as she regards him with a playful half smile, "We'll just have to see what time you have to spare, and match those up. I'll pick a location where Tinania is not likely to appear at, so your little secret is kept just that. Of course, it'll be up to you to come up with a decent excuse why you aren't with her during those hours."

Surion's face broke into a smile and he nods "I work Friday night through Tuesday night 6pm till 3am, other then that it's just sleeping and other-time stuff." He says, he knows he can skimp on sleeping time, it wouldn't be the first or last time...

"Well then, that certainly gives us time to work with," she comments, mulling over a few ideas before nodding once, "Meet me at the rose cottage, this upcoming Thursday at two pm. We'll start then. If all goes well, we'll work out how long your sessions will need to last per day to upkeep the flow of your learning."

She looks down at the bags that Surion is carrying, then back up so her eyes can smile into his, "No doubt you have other business to attend to, Surion, so we'll leave it at that for now." She tosses him a small silver key, the end opposite its prongs shaped into a rose in full bloom. "The key will guide you to where you need to go. I'll be waiting." She winks and steps around him, waving at the clerk as she opens the shop's door. "I'll be back, and I look forward to reading those labels!"

She then slips out of the shop and heads down the sidewalk, on the prowl for another shop to critique. Just as the clerk is about to protest that Eirnae didn't pay for her silverleaves, a small pouch flickers into existence on the counter in front of him. He blinks once, then lifts up the small tag attached to the pouch with a midnight blue string, reading what it says out loud, "See? Aren't labels handy?"

Surion nods catching the key "All right, thankyou Eirnae" he says looking at them and thinking what excuse he's gonna use to get away from the house for a time... perhaps while Nani is getting Damien for his visit

Surion's Scribbles

Dear Journal

I ran into Nani's Aunt today, she's an interesting woman, I didn't get to know her too well at christmas, but I think I will have my opportunity to now, she's going to teach me the Elven language, the language Nani seems to like to use when she's trying to make it so I don't understand her... I hope I can learn enough to surprise her by Valentines

Moving Day ~ Part: 1

Tinania sat on her bed looking around her room. It seem so bare with all her books, items, and most of her clothes pack. She had lefts only the things that would be needed in the room which was the sheets on her bed and a few of her normal clothes in the closet.

Looking down at Rose who was also looking around she smiles "Can you believe it Rose. Its actually happening." Rose simply looks up at her nodding "Yes it seems to be, its going to be strange not running around this room anymore."

Tinania smiles then lifts Rose up so she can sits on her shoulder. Petting the top of her head she smiles "True but now you got a whole new home you get to explore..."

Surion hadn't slept the night before, well it didn't help he had had to work. And now he was standing outside their new home with his mother and a mound of boxes, "I should help Nani" he says to her knowing he had just had it real easy, his Harley was part a wee ways away, he'd ridden that over, but his mother had used the nether and brought the boxes

Ala nods "You want to do this wit the nether Surion?" she asks him knowing the teenage Tinania likely had more stuff then he did since she'd been alive longer

Surion shakes his head "No, Tari was going to lend us the jeep, and I think Nani would like to use that..." he smiles "Thanks mum, this stuff should be safe here" he grabs his helmet and heads for his bike as Ala chuckles and disappears back into the nether

Krista steps into the room looking at her daughter "So everything packed?" she walks over running her fingers lightly over Tinania's hair. She seem so calm but inside she was alittle sad. Her youngest child was leaving home.

Tinania looks up at her mother nodding "Yea everything packed, just waiting for Tari to get here with the jeep." she looks down for a moment before standing to wrap her arms around her mother's waist hugging her close "Thank you..."

Krista smiles laying her head on top of Tinania's running her hand over her hair "Your welcome Little Sprite..." she pulls back running a finger over her cheek "I'm proud of you..." she turns when she hears a car pull up. Looking back she nods "I think Tari just got here..."

Surion pulls up having ridden the bike across the estate, he comes to a stop shortly away from the jeep "Hey Tari" he greets her after turning off the bike and as he pulls the helmet off

Tari smiles waving to Surion as she climbs out of her new crimson fading to black jeep. Closing the door she leans against the jeep smiling "So what do you think? Suits me eh?" she looked over at the bike then arches a brow "A bike very nice...."

Tinania smirks then sighs "And I would have looked great in that jeep you gave to Celia." she waves to them as she and Krista stepped out of the house. "I still don't know why you gave it to Celia...." she holds Rose close to her chest who was purring alittle.

Tari bites her bottom lip then shrugs "I had forgotten she had asked me about it long before you did. Sorry hun..." she pushes her hand through her hair giving Surion a look from the corner of her eye as she walks up to Tinania "So everything in your that in boxes right?" with a nod to Krista she slips into the house.

"I think it suits you, about as much as my lava red harley suits me Tari" he says with a laugh and then smiles walking to Nani "Moving day" he's rather excited about it. And being firm in his resolve not to spoil the surprise he had planned for his mate

Tinania lays her hand on his chest as Rose climbed back up onto her shoulder "So how does the home look? Mum wouldn't let me anywhere near the site..." she looks back at her mother wrinkling her nose up.

Krista laughs then shrugs "I figure it would be better if she saw it when it was completed. Don't you agree Surion.." she turns when she hears the door open again.

Tari walks out with two boxes stacked on top of each other. They were pretty light. Walking over she places them into the back of the jeep before looking at Tinania "Wow your actually leaving a lot behind aren't you?"

Tinania blushes then nods alittle "Well I didn't want it not to feel like my room when I come home to visit..." she pushes her hair from her face wrinkling her nose at Surion as she runs her fingers along his cheek. Leaning in she whisper so only he can hear "I'm so nervous..."

"You'll be fine love, and I haven't seen the inside yet, but Nani, I think your mum pulled out all the stops, it looks wonderful" he kisses her forehead "Now, lets get your stuff"

Nodding Tinania turns taking his hand heading into the house. "So what does the house look like on the outside?" she was curious about this home that her mother didn't allow her to see at all.

Krista laughs as she follow after "Your not allowed to tell her Surion. I want to see her reaction when we get there..." she nods to Tari who walks pass them all heading back upstairs once again.

Tinania turns arching a brow then tilts her head "Your coming with us mum?" when Krista nods she blushes a deep rose color. If her mother was coming it meant the house had to look good.

"You'll like it don't worry... come on lets get your stuff, mine's already there waiting for us" he pulls away from her after another soft kiss on the forehead and he enters the haven

Tinania wrinkles her nose following after him. Her wings were fluttering alittle as she tried to not think about it. She would know soon enough right? Shaking her head she heads up the stairs to the third floor.

Tari was already in the room looking over the boxes debating what to take next. She wanted to save the books for last seeing how they were the heaviest.

Krista smiles watching them head upstairs. Instead of following them she heads into the study to finish wrapping the gifts she had for them.

Surion looks at them "Which one is your books love, oh the joys of dragonic strength" he smiles, he noted just how much she was leaving behind, was she expecting to not stay at the house?....

She smiles pointing towards the ones over by the bookcase as she leans against her bed frame. Tilting her head she bites her bottom lip, it was taking a few to get use to seeing this room without everything she own out displayed.

Tari arched a brow looking towards Tinania's closet, she left five outfits in there "Your gonna leave them Tinania?"

Tinania nods then smiles "Yes, along with a few of my stuff animals, and my sheets. When I come to visit I want this to still feel like my room. Aylana did the same thing, she left a few items in her room also when she moved out." she looks down at the ground then back up looking around the room again.

Surion peered at what Tari pointed out, he smiled softly and nodded, he wasn't going to stop her from leaving a few things behind "Okay books.." he hefts the box and then heads back towards the door.

Tinania walks over picking up a box over her stuff animals following after Tari and Surion. She kept mostly quiet just letting everything sink in. She didn't know it would be this hard, but this was her family after all and not seeing them everyday was unnerving her.

Tari was already outside by the jeep, looking up she smiles "Surion wanna place the books along the back. I'm gonna use then as a wall so the lighter boxes don't go flying as I drive..." she nods taking Tinania's box placing in towards the front with the other really light boxes.

"Yeah sounds like a plan" he says setting the box where Tari asked him to and then turning to look at Nani, he takes the box from her setting it down before wrapping her in his arms "You ok love?"

Tinania lays her head on his chest watching as Rose who had jumped off her shoulder earlier chased a butterfly around. Nodding she smiles alittle "Yea just alittle strange to be leaving the home I grew up in that all.." she doesn't look up at she looked at the home.

Tari climbs out from the back then touches Surion's back "I'm gonna go get the last few boxes, after that we should be ready to go. Just gotta wait for Nani's mother.." smiling she turns heading back into the house.

"All right Tari" Surion says holding Nani close "I know, least you really aren't all that far away in the new place, probably could walk here in 15 to 20 minutes" he purrs softly comforting her

Tinania nods then smiles alittle just looking at the home. Memories filled her head from when she was a child. Sniffing she looks away then smiles at him trying to hide the small sadness creeping up on her. "Come on lets go see what mum is doing..."

Krista had just finish wrapping up the last gift. She looks over the three gifts nodding. They were indeed things she knew the kids would need. Standing slowly she takes the gifts out into the main room.

Tari smiles to Krista as she walks down the stairs holding the last two boxes. She nods to Krista "Were about ready to go. Would you like me to have them come in here?" when Krista nods to her she smiles heading out of the house "Hey Surion, Tinania, your mum would like to see you two.." she walks over to the jeeps setting the last two boxes into the back of the jeep before taking a breather.

Surion gives Tari a smile and Nani's hand a squeeze leading her into the house and to the main room "Love you Nani" he says softly as they walk

Tinania smiles then leans up brushing her lips against his cheek "Love you too" entering the house she arches a brow when she see three gifts sitting on the coffee table "You wanted to see us mum?"

Krista smiles tapping the couch near her "Come sit I have a few gifts I wish to give you two. Stuff that should be helpful while your living there..." she pushes her dirty blond hair from her face before pulling it up into a ponytail.

Surion quirks his brow in curiosity and leads Nani to the couch sitting down and patting the couch beside her "You didn't have to do that Mum... but Thankyou"

Tinania moves to sit next to him resting her hand on top of his. Looking at her mother she smiles nodding "Yes mum you didn't have to do that but thank you.." she lays her head on Surion's shoulder.

Krista shakes her head smiling "Its quite alright. I wanted to do it...now here open the first one." she holds out the large gift that was in a big silver bag.


Surion pulls the bag onto the couch between them tugging the string that held it shut till it opened and he looked in "Oooo These are nice" he pulls out a glass plate

Tinania eyes widen looking over the plates, bowls, and cups. Near the bottom in a box she spots silver forks, spoons and knives of every kind. Looking up at her mother she smiles "Very nice, and here I thought I be going out tomorrow to buy this stuff for the new home..." she giggles alittle.

Krista smirks then picks up the next biggest bag holding it out to Surion "I will explain afterward why I have given this to you guys."

Surion sets the first bag to the floor before taking the next from her "Your turn love" he motions to Nani to open the oddly shaped package

Tinania nods then pushing at the string she looks over the beautiful lantern before looking to her mother "This is so pretty...." she turns looking back at the different colors on it.

Krista smiles nodding "That lantern has a charm on it. Like this home, no one can get into your home unless they have the address or are welcome on your land. Just hang it somewhere outside your house..." she leans forward picking on the last item, it was a small simple box. She smiles holding it out to Surion "I want you to open this one Surion.."

"Neat" Surion says with a smile hearing the explanation, and then he took the small package and opened it, his eyes widening at it's contents as he turned it for Nani to see

Tinania arches a brow wondering what has caused Surion's eyes to widen. Looking at the contents in the box her own eyes widen as her jaw dropped just alittle.

Krista smiles then nods "Those rings are made just for you two. You don't where the one with your name but the one with your loves name. Its a symbol of your love for each other." she leans back relaxing as she watched them both.

"Wow" Surion says softly pulling the one from the box that said his name and looked at his Mate's hands with a soft smile

Tinania picks up her own ring looking it over, turning to her mother she leans forward wrapping her arms around her neck hugging her close "Thank you so much....." she pulls back looking at Surion then at the ring in his hand smiling at him.

Krista nods then standing she smiles "You two are quite welcome. Now I will be back in a few minutes. I'm going to go change into something alittle warm." touching Tinania cheek then Surion's she slips pass them heading upstairs to the third floor.

"Well you give me your hand, and I'll give you mine" he chuckles turning the ring in his fingers reaching for her hand with the other hand

Tinania smiles placing her hand within his. Looking up at him she leans forward brushing her lips lightly against his as she slipped the ring with her name on it onto the proper finger.

Surion returns the kiss softly before breaking from it "Shall we get moving love? I'm sure you want to see the house" he says softly looking into her aqua eyes, eyes he could easily and had many times easily gotten lost in

Tinania smiles then nods turning to gather up the gifts "Yes lets...I truly do wish to see the new home." standing she held his hand in her as she looks towards the stairs just in time to see her mother kiss her stepfather as he slips into the kitchen.

Krista smiles watching Rinon head into the kitchen before she turns to look at them both. She was in jeans and a black sweater. "So you two ready to head out?"

Surion nods "Yes mum, I think we're about ready, and we can't make Tari wait forever for us" he smiles motioning the door he spoke "Ladies first"

Krista nods heading towards the door, popping it open she steps outside smiling to Tari who was leaning against the jeep "You could have come inside Tari if you wanted to..." she placed her hand on her hip as she stepped down the stairs.

Tari shrugs then smiles "Yea but I figure it was a family thing so I would wait out here. Are we ready to go?" she pops her driver side door open.

Tinania steps out of the house, but not before she grabs her helmet off the side table holding Surion's hand she looks at Tari with a soft smiles "So me and Surion we'll take the bike and meet you guys there?" she looks to her mother who frowns for a moment but then nods.

Surion grins "Yeah not really enough room in the jeep" he pulls out his keys ad heads to the bike kick starting it and pulling his helmet on waiting for Nani and watching his mate's mother and friend

Tari smiles climbing into the driver side. Turning back she nods to them as Krista climbs into the passenger side "We shall see you both soon there." turning the keys she starts the car up. Within second they were taking off down the dirt path heading into the forest.

Tinania smiles watching them before she pulled on her own helmet. Climbing onto the back of the bike, she wraps her arms around his waist resting her head against his back. She looked back at the manor smiling then waving to her stepfather who was watching out of the window.

Surion purrs and once she's settled he turns the bike following after the jeep keeping a respectable and safe distance behind it though he could have easily caught up and passed

Krista every once in awhile turned to look towards the bike. Tari could help but laughs alittle "Don't worry Mrs. Krista, Surion loves your daughter with his life. He won't let them get hurt." she takes a right turn heading along the small river following it.

Tinania watches the area around them, she was very unfamiliar with this part of the land. Licking her bottom lip she just watched the road keeping quiet. She was getting more and more curious about the home.

Surion knew his way only from riding to the haven, he smiles humming a familiar tune as he drives, this area of land was beautiful, his mate had done a wonderful job in picking it.

As the car keeps driving on ahead Tinania arches a brow looking towards the side as she spots something she knew all to well. She didn't even know it when she picked out the area how close she was to the Hidden home of the fairies.

Smiling she makes note to herself to go visit them again real soon.

"Almost there Nani" Surion calls over his shoulder as the car turns yet another bend and he follows after it, Tari had done a good job putting Nani's boxes in the jeep as none had budged

Tinania nods then closes her eyes as her stomach felt like butterflies were flying around in it. She really hoped that everything looked amazing like the home she had always dream of.

As the jeeps pulls up towards the home it does a u-turn before backing up towards the home. Tari put the car into park before turning it off. Climbing out just as Krista does she smiles "Wow Ms. Krista this place is great..."

Tinania didn't open her eyes, she was alittle scared to, she could hear Tari voice talk about the home, but she wasn't sure if she was ready to face it yet.

Surion stops near the mound of boxes he had left near the front of the house when his mum had dropped them off and turned off the bike and pulled his helmet off "Nani look.. it's the house... our new home"

Krista smiles then nods "Yes they did an amazing job. Draven seems to really know his stuff, as well as Craig. They both did an amazing job." she looks toward the other two smiling. She couldn't help but smirk looking at Tinania. She use to always do this as a child when she was nervous about something.

Tinania bites her bottom lip pulling her helmet off. She kept her eyes still close then whispers so only Surion can hear here. "Do I have to..?"

"Well... you can just stay here..." he unlatches her arms from his belly sliding from the bike leaving her on the tilted bike hooking his helmet on the handles before wandering towards Krista with a slight smirk

Tinania frowns placing her hands on the seat of the bike to keep herself balance. Breathing in slowly she opens her eyes only to have her jaw drop as she looked at the house. Not even in her dreams could she picture this home.

Krista smiles at Surion as she watched her daughter. Tari couldn't help it she busted into a giggle fit watching the fairy. Krista looks at Surion nodding "I think she likes the place, don't you agree?"

Surion stops neat the pair and looks back "Yeah, I think she does, I knew she would, but I doubted she'd open her eyes if I stayed there" he grins widely enjoying the look on her face

Krista nods agreeing with Surion then smiles "I believe you are right. Even as a young woman she still very much is still a kid. She did this when she was a kid. She would hide her eyes when I was around with a gift. Like she didn't want to see it. but the moment I place the gift down and step away she got curious." Tari arches a brow then kept laughing.

Tinania blushes then hides her face behind her hair "Mum!!! I never told Surion about that..." she tries to act mad but couldn't she was screaming on the inside from how beautiful her new home looked.

Surion laughs "That seems like the Nani I know" he turns and looks at her "Well? are you coming? I haven't seen the inside either!" he is grinning from ear to ear

Tinania blushes even more as she climbs off the bike fixing her pant. Looking at him she steps toward him nodding. She wraps her arms around his waist then back to him smiling before taking off toward the door.

Krista laughs this time shaking her head "You two go looking around, we'll get the everything out of the jeep." with a nod she pulls out her wand as Tari climbs into the back of the jeep.

Surion hurries after Nani stopping side the door to look around "Wow, it's huge in here" he muses amazed at the size compared to the outside

Tinania looked around the house smiling. She knew what had been done to it. Looking to Surion she smiles "Its magic...." she steps further into the house looking around the first floor.

Turning she looks at Surion smiling "And this is just the first level of the home....How beautiful is this place?"

"It's amazing love, just think it's all ours too" he purrs walking up behind her and wrapping his arms around her

Tinania leans against him smiling as she wraps her arms around his arms. Looking up at him just alittle she nods "Yes our home, where we can be together..." she looks back over the main floor already trying to come up with how the rooms would look.

"Yes, Lets see now, I picture the living room area over there" he points by the fire place. "What do you think love?"

Tinania smiles then nods "Yes I was just thinking the same thing.." she looks toward the off the kitchen "That would be the diner room. Once we actually get one that is..." she smirks then looks around toward the other area thinking.

Surion chuckles "Lets check out downstairs" he said letting go and offering her a hand as he nods towards the stairwell

Tinania nods taking his hand following him. She was still looking around picturing what she would place on the walls, what colors would look great where and what would be in each room.

Surion couldn't help but stop at the bottom of the stairs looking at the pool and to one side a large room with a door "Oh sweet, we have an indoor pool Nani"

Tinania gasps then shakes her head as she looked at the pool herself. Looking down at him she smiles "This home is perfect..." she wraps her arms around his neck purring .

"I am so claiming that room right there" he points at the bare room to one side that had a sturdy door to it

Tinania smirks arching a brow as she looks at the room then down at him "Oh and why is that if you don't mind me asking?" she runs her hand through his hair in a gentle caress.

"For my alchemy lab, that door is sturdy enough I can put a good lock on it and keep all my chemicals and ingredients safe" he explains

Tinania nods smiling "I see, so long as you don't keep yourself locked up there in the process. I would miss you too much.." looking back at the pool she steps pass him walking towards it.

Kneeling down she places her hand into the water then gasps. Looking up at Surion she giggles "Its heated..."

Surion laughs "I won't" he watches her by the pool his eyes shifting green and gathering a ball of water to lift it out of the pool and he could touch it

Standing she looks around again smiling before stepping toward another open room looking around it. Tilting her head she looks at him then back towards the room "What do you think we should put in here? I'm thinking maybe we should switch two rooms around..."

"In what way are you thinking love?" Surion says letting the water drop his eyes returning blue as he follows her

Tinania looks at him then smirks "Well why have a kitchen up there, why not down here? It seems only logical. With some magic it can be switched. I know mum knows how to do it. This room big enough to become like and extra bedroom or something..." she steps into the room looking around.

"Kitchen down here? what is on your mind for where the kitchen is now?" he's curious as he looks around

Tinania smiles then winks at him as she leans against the door frame "I don't know its big enough for a study, or as I said and extra bedroom...But its up to you also..." she pushes her hair from her face then smiles.

"Lets look at the rest of the house and then decide" he kisses her cheek softly before taking hold of her hand and heading for the stairs once more

Nodding she follows him up the stairs still looking around the house in awe. She kept having to dig her nails into her palm to let herself know she wasn't dreaming.

Surion leads her into the biggest room by far "Ok this is definitely OUR room, no doubt about that"

Tinania nods looking around the room before she turns resting her hands on his chest "No doubt about that..." she pulls at his hand until they are in the middle of the room near the window "I can see OUR bed right here..." she tilts her head to the side smiling.

"And I can see you sleeping peacefully in it every morning" he purrs pressing his lips against hers getting wrapped up in the moment

Tinania smiles against his lips then pulls back looking at him "And I can see you holding me in this bed as I drift off to sleep, Knowing that when I wake up you'll be right next to me." she turns looking around the room then back at him "This room is huge...what kind of bed should we get?"

"King... definitely, lotsa room for snuggling... Come lets go decide what else to put elsewhere" He purrs and pulls away knowing if he stayed right there right then... his mother in law would walk in on something he'd rather she not

Laughing she winks then slipping pass him heading back out into the hall way. Looking from side to side before turning to look at him "Where to next?"

Surion walks down the hall and peers into another door "This would make a nice office... for both of us" he steps into the room next to theirs

Tinania leans against him her head resting on his shoulder "Your right this would be a nice place for an office." she looks up at him smiling "Can you believe this is really happening?"

"Seems almost surreal doesn't it" he muses "Lets see, we need a guest room, and a room for the Pae'il too and a bathroom.... " his words trailed off as he wandered back into the hall looking around

Tinania smirks then leans against the door frame "That why I said we need to switch the kitchen that up here to the downstairs. Bring that big room next to your lab up here. Make it a guess bedroom or even then Pae'il room."

Surion nods still musing about rooms and walking down the hall looking into the rooms that were left

Tinania smirks then pushes off the wall following him. leaning against the wall she watches him "What's your thought on these last two room?"

"Pae and guest I think... after all Damien is supposed to be coming over tomorrow, we need a guest room... You will go get him from the Haven right?" he asks

Tinania nods then smiles "No I figure I would let him find the place himself." leaning forward she kisses him lightly then winks "Surion have I ever not done something that I've been told?"

Surion chuckles and looks at her "I don't know... have you?" he grins pulling her close to him

Tinania pokes at his chest then smirks as she wraps her arms around his neck "Last time I check I did everything I was told." she leans up brushing her lips against his before pulling back.

Surion purrs "Shall we go get the boxes inside so we can finalize what we want wear?" he asks happily

Tinania nods stepping away from him. Turning she looks over her shoulder then winks "The sooner we get the stuff into this house. The sooner were alone right?"

"You betcha, and Mum was going to help with some furniture since your mum paid for over half of this place" Surion smiles

Tinania smiles then nods "Alright well then shall we go help?" she holds her hand out to him "Maybe we can get mum to switch those two rooms while were at..."

"We can ask sure, lets go..." he takes her hand heading back tot he first floor and towards the front door

Stepping out the door she arches a brow as she see her mother along with a friend sitting on the back of the jeep laughing. The boxes were all out on the ground stacked in neat piled next to Surion's own boxes.

Krista looks up and smiles "So how what do you two think of the home? Look good?" Tari looks up smiling as she pushes off the jeep "Yea how does it look?"

"It looks wonderful, I couldn't have asked for something better" Surion says enthusiastically and looks at Nani

Tinania nods smiling "Yes mum it does look wonderful. But I was wondering why the kitchen was up on the second level of the home?" she leans against Surion wrapping her arms around his waist.

Krista arches a brow looking towards the house "What do you mean the kitchen on the second level." she pulls out her wand shaking her head "I knew Draven and Craig would do that. They said they get even.." frowning she holds the wand towards the house as she spoke in Elven.

A bright light comes from the wand hitting the house. The house started glowing then seems to go back to normal. With a smiles Krista nods to Surion and Tinania "There it should be okay now.."

Surion watches the magic with a slight bit of amusement "I suppose we should get the boxes inside Nani" he kisses her cheek before moving over to the pile

Moving Day ~ Part: 2

Tinania nods then bending forward she picks up one of the lighter boxes before looking up at Surion "Yes lets get the boxes inside..." she looks to her mother a friend smiling.

Krista smiles then with a wave of her wand she lifted a few of the boxes into the air as Tari lifted two herself. "We'll only help you bring them in Little Sprite. I have to get home soon to your father. I don't want him to worry..."

"That's ok mum, we can put it all away, then we know where it is" he smiles and hums softly hefting a box of books and heading for the door

Tinania smiles nodding "Yea mum once we get the boxes all you. Your and Tari may take off if you like. I know you both have things you have to do." she turns following Surion.

Tari laughs then winks "Are you kidding. I figure I move in with you just so you never miss me." Krista herself couldn't help but laugh when she saw the look on Tinania's face.

"Oh Visha" Surion chuckles softly heading upstairs towards the room they had decided would make a good office

Tari laughs as she nudges Tinania "I was kidding girl. Beside I wouldn't be able to walk around this house I have a feeling..." winking she place the box down then turns heading back towards the car to get more boxes.

Krista smirks then simple just follows after Tari. Tinania was already red in the face trying to hide it with her hands. But with the tip of her ears red it didn't help much.

Surion comes back down and stops next to Nani kissing the tip of her red ear before continuing out the door to get more boxes. He was happy, boxes inside then the furniture could come.

Tinania sighs then follows after pulling her wand out. With a wave of her wand she lifted a few boxes leading them towards the home. She wanted to get the boxes in the house quicker just so she didn't get teased anymore.

Tari laughs then looks over ay Krista as she lifts another heavy box "Think she wants Surion all to herself Mrs. Krista?" Krista laughs then shrugs "I'm guessing so, but I think she might be trying to get rid of us.."

Tinania looks to her mother and Tari before sticking her tongue out. Krista bust out laughing as Tari walked pass them smirking.

"Hey I have no complaints to being want all to herself.... I'd rather not share her anyways..." he pauses in the door "Especially in the bedroom" he adds and ducks in before Nani could get him for his words

Tinania nearly drop the boxes that she was holding with her magic. Gasping she huffs then shakes her head before glaring towards the door "You better hope I don't get the extra bedroom done up first. Cause that so where your sleeping tonight Surion.."

Krista laughs as she places the last of the boxes into the house "Sure he is Nani." leaning forward she kisses Tinania's cheek "You two have fun okay. Enjoy the new home.." she looks back towards the house smiling "Surion keep her in line okay.." with a nod she turns heading to the car climbing in.

Tari smirks then winks at Tinania who was trying to stay mad. "Have fun in your new home.. Talk to you later Surion." pulling her keys out she heads over to the jeep. Holding in she turns the engine on the drives away.

Tinania just stood in front of the house her arms crossed under her chest. Her was red as can be. She shook her head hiding her face as she mumbles to herself.

"I will" he calls out the door with a chuckle and then emerges a couple minutes later , he chuckles at her expression and wraps her up in his arms as the jeep departs

Tinania looks up at him wrinkling her nose before poking him in the chest "You are evil. And what are you laughing at? You should be running?" she was joking, just from his arms wrapping around her she was already cooling off.

Surion leans closer to whisper into her ear "Cause you are cute when you blush" he says with a grin before pulling his face away from her ear to look at her

Closing her eyes she bites her bottom lip before pushing away from him "And you Surion are evil for using my own ears against me." she places her hands on she hips trying her hardest to glare at him, but failing just as badly.

"Oh but you have your own ways of retaliating and you know it" he says stepping to her once more pulling her back into his arms

Tinania smirks then looks away from him "I do not know what you are talking about." she giggles before wrapping her arms around his neck "So now what? We don't have much to even complete one room. I mean we don't even have a bed..."

"Mum told me to call when we're ready for larger furniture, she didn't put out as much as your mum did, well close, but not quite as much, she's gonna help a little in that department" he leans in kissing her softly

Tinania smiles against his lips as she runs her fingers over his cheek. Pulling back she smiles "We should call her then. Unless you plan on sleeping somewhere else tonight?"

"Oh I don't mind where it is... so long as it's with you" he smirks and then pulls away scooping up one of the last boxes and hurrying inside

Laughing Tinania shook her head following him "Oh I don't mind either, but I'm rather use to sleeping in a bed..." stepping into the house she leans against the wall looking around. It didn't feel like home to her yet but she was sure that with some work it would be soon.

Surion nods "Okay we need a bed... a table, some chairs...." he rattles off a short list as he walks into the house more "What else love?"

Tinania thought for a moment then looks at him "A couch, some chairs..." she went quiet trying to think of some other things that came to her mind. She bites her lip a few times.

Surion nods digging into his hip pouch pulling out the jaguar patterned cell "Shelves for the office too, and Ill get dad to help me stock the lab later" he starts to dial his mum's cell

Tinania nods then pushes off the wall walking into the middle of the room "Maybe a dresser too, just so we don't have to hang all our clothes. I don't think the closer will be able to handle all our clothes.." laughing alittle she looks back at him "Anything else you can think of?"

"Not really right now..." he says turning circles and then wanders into what would become their living room talking to his mother about furniture, he knew she was bringing the furniture from his room as well which he decided he'd use in a spare room too

Tinania nods then walks back over taking a seat on the stair. Leaning back she closes her eyes trying to think of anything she might have forgotten at home.

Surion wanders back to her and leans over her kissing her forehead "Seems almost surreal" he purrs

Tinania smiles opening she eyes to look up at him "Yea I know, I almost thought three weeks was going to take forever. Now I'm just thinking wow this really happening?" she laughs alittle then sits up alittle "This is our home, can you believe it?"

"Barely, but then, I've been very excited for this day to come" He kisses her softly and then breaks away for a very short distance "You know you could be very distracting..."

Tinania giggles then tilts her head before arching a brow "Oh and how am I distracting right now?"

"Just your presence is distracting... I suppose it could be fixed though... if I go dig in one of my boxes" Surion chuckles softly

Tinania giggles again before wrinkling her nose up "That would be no fun...." she leans back again closing her eyes. "So when will mum be here?"

Surion chuckles "Yeah, but least I wouldn't be so terribly distracted..." he pauses "Give her an hour or so to go get what we need, maybe a lil longer"

Tinania nods then stands lifting her arms above her head "Okay so now what? There not much we can do until mum gets here..." she tilts her head to the side as she kept her hands above her head for a moment.

"I'm sure there's things we can find to do, uhm we could move the boxes to the appropriate rooms... or we could just cuddle" Surion chuckles

Tinania smiles letting her hands fall to the side "I'll let you decide...."

"That... is a dangerous saying" he pulls her close looking into her eyes

Tinania purrs wrapping her arms around his neck. Tilting her head to the side she smiles alittle "Oh and why is that such a dangerous saying?"

"Because, there's so much I could do... even without a bed" he hooks his hands around hr lower back kissing her

Tinania purrs against his lips returning the kiss, she pressed her body as close as she could get to his. Her fingers run through his hair alittle before she pulls back smiling "Oh I know you can, but would you want mum to walk in on us?"

"Hmmmm that's debatable" he smirks softly looking at her "Question is... would you"

Tinania gasps then giggles nipping at his bottom lip "I asked you first..."

"Not like it'd be the first time she's 'walked in' on us" Surion smirks

Tinania blushes then shakes her head "No it wouldn't be...as I said I shall leave it up to you..." she lays her head on his shoulder listening to his breathing.

Surion purrs and tips his head into her neck nibbling at the flesh and deciding... or rather, trying to encourage her to decide

Tinania bites lightly at his neck then shakes her head shivering alittle "Not going to work Surion. I stand my ground, I said I would let you decide..." her nails dig through his hair pulling lightly, she couldn't help it. Not after he went for her neck.

"You're no fun" he mock pouts and chuckles before moving his hands under her bottom and lifting her into his arms more

Tinania literally squeaks from being picked up. Looking at him she wrinkles her nose "I'm not suppose to be fun.." she smirks then shrugs "So what are we doing Surion?"

"We are, standing here, least for now anyways" he chuckles turning in a circle with her in his arms

Tinania yelps hiding her face against his neck, her lips brushing against his skin as she keeps herself close to his body. She didn't mind spinning around it was the after effect she didn't like.

He sets her down "Les organize boxes, least till after mum comes"

Tinania keeps her eyes close for a moment before opening them. With a nods she looks towards the boxes "Where do we start? I mean everything we both brough is from our rooms right?" she looks at him biting her bottom lip.

"And anything my father snuck in there" Surion says meekly and scratches the back of his head looking towards the huge mound of boxes

Tinania smirks then pulls her hair up into a ponytail. Nodding she smiles "Okay so lets get to work...unless you want to continue your teasing.." with a wink she step away from him heading towards the boxes.

"Can't I do both?" he teases walking up behind her and nipping at the tip of her ear before grabbing a box to move to their room

Tinania froze in her spot biting her bottom lip. Watching him she shook her head not saying anything. Oh she was so going to get even when he didn't expect it.

Surion chuckles disappearing up the stairs peering back at her seeing her frozen in place

Turning away she pops one of her boxes open to look at it. It was mostly her old toys and stuff animals. Picking it up she climbs the stairs before heading down the hall to place it in one of the spare rooms. She had been letting Anila play with them for awhile so it only seem fitting.

More and more boxes found their way to various rooms in the house, until he came across a large one labeled from his place that he didn't recognize and he opened it. There was a huge bucket in it.. and he pried that open "Oh dear Visha.... I knew dad was adding things to my boxes"

Walking down the stairs she arches a brow hearing his word "What do you mean Surion? What did Dad add to your boxes?" she leans against the railing peeking over it.

"Do you really want to know?" he asks having set the lid on the bucket but not closing it as he looked up at her

Tinania arches a brow then nods "I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want to know..." she leans even further over the railing before nearly slipping. Gasping she grabs hold of the banister laughing.

Surion hefts the huge bucket out of the box and sets it to one side and pulls the lid off and with two hands scoops up a pile of familiar red shelled foods... a mere skimming from the top of the bucket

Tinania eyes widen and she shakes her head laughing as she sat down on the stairs "Oi Dad really trying to get me pregnant isn't he?" looking at the red shell she couldn't but blush a deep crimson as the night he ate one of those appeared in her mind.

"Just think Nani... That one night I ate just one of these" he says letting them spill back into the bucket and then snaps the lid shut again

Tinania blushes even more then wrinkles her nose "You don't have to remind me. I remember really well thank you..." she did her best trying to hide her face behind her hair as well as her hands again.

"Aw no need to blush..." he chuckles and hefts the bucket heading for the kitchen

Tinania smirks then shakes her head. Easy for him to say, his mind wasn't running through that night not missing any detail.

Surion returns to the room in time to see his mother suddenly appear "Okay... "

Ala smiles "Okay, I figured a couple trips should do it, here's the first" and she disappears leaving a bed and the box for a table in her wake

Tinania peeks out from under her hair almost missing Ala. Arching a brow she walks over looking at the bed then the box for the table. Looking at Surion she smirks "I think we should start on the bed first...."

Surion laughs and grabs part of it and hefts it "Okay this one is going to our room" he grins

Tinania gasps shaking her head. She was never gonna get use to how strong Surion was. With a wave of her wand she guides it into the room that was the dining area.

Turning she looks at Surion "You know I could do that with magic..."

"Aw but where's the fun in doing it all by magic" he says with a laugh as he disappears into the room

Another soft 'pop' and then again and before anyone could turn Ala was gone leaving in her wake a loveseat and a couple arm chairs

Tinania giggles then turns looking at the furniture that Ala had left. With a waves of her wand again she moves them over towards the fireplace just to get them out of the way.

a few minutes later she comes and goes again leaving Surion's old bed and his other bedroom furniture

Surion comes out just as she goes "I figured the bed would be good for spare room, the wardrobe is mine for in the room and the shelves for the office" he calls down to her

Tinania nods then looks towards the stairs biting her bottom lip "Okay moving the bed will be tricky...." she looks towards the other bedroom furniture debating if she wanted to try for the stairs or not.

"Is there anything from your room you wanted?" He asks watching her ponder

Tinania looks at him then thinks about the alter she left behind. Looking back to him she nods "My alter, I didn't bring it with me...."

"Okay, we'll leave a spot for it" he says and walks down to help her move more of it

"Last load for today" Ala says when she pops in with kitchen table chairs and a coffee table and then a smile and a node "See you later kids" she says and disappears

Tinania smiles then nods looking over the last of the furniture. Taking a seat in one of the chairs she looks around then looks at him. "This stuff is amazing looking. Your mum picks out some great stuff...."

"She decorated the shop and the house too back home." He drops onto another chair and relaxes, he intended to keep going after a rest

Tinania looks over then stands pulling him towards the couch "Come on, lets rest, we can go back to working later okay?" she gives him a soft smile as she runs her finger over his fingers.

Surion nods and follows her purring softly as he did

Smiling she takes a seat on the couch pulling him down with her. Leaning forward she kisses him lightly "Home sweet home..." she giggles before laying back yawning alittle.

"Home sweet home" he agrees and cuddles with her relaxing in their new home, he couldn't be more content

Sur's Elven Lessons ~ Take 1

Surion has taken his Harley from the new house while Nani went to get Damien, he had told her he had an errand to run and that he'd be back soon. He pulls his Harley onto a winding dirt road through a forest of cherry blossom trees. He slows often to look at the key for a moment as the bike maneuvers the turns

The key fairly glows a bright silver when he is going the right way, the rose slowly opening up to be near full bloom and almost looking alive. When he takes a wrong turn the rose wilts a bit, and the glow also diminishes. With the key as his guide, Surion soon finds himself pulling up to a quaint little cottage practically covered in roses of all colors. Only the door and windows seem to be free of the clinging blooms and their thorned leafy stems. There is a light in one of the larger windows, soft and flickering.

Surion pulls the bike to a stop and shuts it off. Climbing off he pulls his helmet off and stares at the building "Whoa, that... is a LOT of roses" he muses and puts his helmet on the back of his seat before wandering up to the door and after a moment of staring at the blossoms... knocks

Something pokes its head out of the middle of the door, wisps of a dark mist flickering around it as deep black eyes stare up at Surion while feline ears twitch. The large grey and black spotted wild cat maintains its head's pose as two front paws make their way outside the door and stand on the stoop.

"Come in," Eirnae's voice calls from inside the cottage, "And don't mind Alimus, he's just protective."

The cat makes a sound similar to a snort, then turns around, revealing his back end complete with a long weaving tail, before hopping back inside the solid matter of the door.

Had Surion not already seen the ghosts of the Emerald Haven, not to mention his two uncles he would have done more then stare at the creature he heard Eirnae's voice call 'Alimus' He opens the door and steps in "Hi Eirnae" he says peering around till he picked up her scent and heading for it

He finds her perched on an old fashioned plump Victorian couch, going through a pile of books that are piled up around her. The large animal she called Alimus lightly bunts the side of Surion's left leg with his right shoulder as he moves past the horned teen and over to a musty bunch of books that seem untouched. Alimus morphs in a swirling of grey and black flesh and fur into his Elven form before he kneels down and plucks up the first title on the stack. "Elven Forests and Agriculture? 'Nae, surely you don't wish to bore him to death."

Eirnae looks up to stick out her tongue at Alimus's teasing, then smiles at Surion, her eyes glittering in the candlelight provided by an antique chandelier high overhead. "Glad to see you made it on time, Surion. There's an empty seat around here somewhere..."

"Over there," Alimus says, pointing in the direction of a patched chair that looks like at one time it was a part of the set the couch Eirnae is on belongs to.

Surion watches Alimus change with interest but couldn't help but chuckle at the male's comments "Yeah, this key was pretty helpful in that" he says still holding the key and taking the seat that he was indicated

"Such was the intention," Eirnae replies, tossing Surion a small leather bound volume once he's seated himself. "Open that, and tell me what you see on the first page."

The words scrawled on the inside of the cover read in Common, "Elven to Common Dictionary, circa 1281".

Alimus shakes his head and continues to sort through the books, putting them in two distinct piles.

Surion catches the book looking at Eirnae for a moment and then looking down at the book and opening it. He looked at the page of hte book skimming the words "Paragraphs of words talking about the Elven language" he says not looking up but rather looking tot he first word to read more throughly

"Good. You've just met your new best friend," she retorts with a sly smirk, pointing to the small pile of books to the right of his chair. "Those others won't be wallflowers for long, if we do this right. Now, I want you to turn to the first page beyond the prologue, and try to pronounce some of the syllables you find there. We'll be starting at the top of the alphabet, and work our way down."

Surion looked up when she mentioned more and looked a the piles. Part of him wondered just what he had managed to get himself into. "All right" he says looking back down at the book and shifting a little to get comfortable as he turned the page and slowly started working down the list, he very much expected to be corrected plenty of times during this whole learning process

That he is, yet never until after he is done with his attempt. Eirnae makes him pause with a soft declaration of, "Ah, ah!" whenever he seems to be on the wrong track, slowly sounding out the letter he is working on herself before asking him to try it again. Sometimes she has him go back a few letters to work down the line again, nodding with a pleased smile when he gets them right and correcting him when he doesn't.

During this exchange, Alimus wanders off into the kitchen and the sound of chopping and whirring accompanies their recitations. When the Shadowkin comes back a little over a half an hour later, he's carrying a tray with small sandwiches and frosty vanilla milkshakes in tall fluted glasses. "Learning is hungry work for most," he offers as explanation as Eirnae clears a spot on the buried coffee table for him to put the platter down on. "Help yourself."

Surion looks at the food and nods "Thankyou" he reaches for a sandwich taking a look at ti's contents before taking a bite his eyes looking at the list of words again saying them in his head till he finished the sandwich and washed it down

Eirnae watches Surion's eyes flicker from his sandwich to the open book in front of him, and smiles. She eats her own food quietly, spending the time while they eat and enjoy their milkshakes in observation of Surion. It was almost like watching her Shina all over again when she began her studies in earnest. Once she's done with both sandwich and shake, she places her plate and glass on the tray and reaches over to tap the side of Surion's plate. "All done?"

"Yes, thankyou" he moves his plate back to the tray as well. He smiles ready to continue, he was excited to eventually learn enough to surprise Nani

"Most welcome," she replies as she puts his plate and glass on the tray along with hers, getting a good hold on the silver platter as she rises and starts to take it towards the kitchen. Alimus intercepts her, almost like magic as he knows exactly when to pop out of the kitchen to do so, and takes the tray from her with a reassuring smile. She swats at his hip playfully before coming back to her couch, curling up on it like she intends on taking a nap, yet whisking up another book at the last minute that looks suspiciously like the one Surion has been studying. "Alright then, from the top."

"From the top..." his eyes move back to the top of the page and he starts over with a bit more confidence in the pronunciations then he had the first time he went through them. He didn't have Nani's super memory, but practice makes 'perfect'

She runs him through the Elven alphabet two more times, finding that she has to correct him less each time with a pleased outlook on the day's lesson. "Now, I'll run you through some of the easier to remember words. Tomorrow we'll tackle some of the harder selections. Turn to page eighty six, in the 'L' section. You'll notice the word at the top of the page is 'love'. Try to pronounce the Elven word for that for me."

Surion nods flipping through the book till he found the page. "Love" he smiles softly as he finds the page and his eyes move to the list and locate the word 'love' and he looks at it a few moments and finally attempts it

"Close, Surion, very close. Repeat after me... Mel - ah. Mela. Now, you try," she encourages, catching an apple that Alimus tosses to her from the entrance to the kitchen. She bites into it a moment later, careful not to get any of the fruit's juice onto the pages of her book.

"Mel-ah" Surion repeats back to her looking from the text to her. A look of determination on his face as he did so

"Very good." She nods her approval.

"Now we add a bit of a spin to it. Try 'mel - ah - min'. Melamin. Then I want you to tell me what that means in the book."

" 'mel - ah - min' " he repeats then looks down in the book, love was Mela... so Melamin had to be nearby. His eyes looked around the page for it... He wound up flipping around in the book before he finally found it "Beloved... " he smiles

She nods, then looks up as the shades covering the windows start to turn rosy in color. "It is getting late. We'll end the lesson for now." She closes her book and gets to her feet, adding her book to the pile on top of the coffee table. "Let's get you to the manor, and to Tinania."

Surion gets up putting the book on the coffee table "Yeah I should get back to the house, Damien is coming for a visit" he says "Thankyou very much Eirnae for doing this with me" he smiles

"It's no trouble, Surion, and I do it gladly," she says while gathering him into a half hug with one arm, then guiding him towards the front door. "You and Tinania should stay with us for dinner tonight. Emme is making her famous steak with mushrooms."

"I told Nani I was just running an errand, we still have so much unpacking to do" he smiles "But if you don't mind I'll take a rain check on that" he pulls out his keys for the Harley parked not too far from the front door

"Rain check signed and sealed," she says with a chuckle, patting the handlebar of his Harley as if it were a pet. "Ride safely, and I'll see you tomorrow." She waves before heading back into the cottage, calling for Alimus to help her pick up a few more of the books before they leave for the night.

Surion nods his agreement and pulls his helmet on then kick starts the bike turning around and taking off down the drive... he had to stop and get something on his way as well...

Taking Damien Clubbing ~ Part 1: The Clothing Switch

Surion wandered though his new home, happy that they were finally there, and even had a houseguest for a night to spend some time as a group. It was one of those days when he was off work. He liked those days, days he could spend more time with his mate. And this day was no exception to that rule even if Damien had arrived earlier that day

Tinania was up in the office unpacking some of her book. Picking them each out of the box she placed them onto an empty shelf in a order by name. She was grinning from ear to ear, more so because she couldn't believe that it was finally finished.

Pausing for a moment she looks around before brushing her hands off onto her cutoff blue shorts. She pulled her hair back into a messy bun as she broke the box down going after the next. She seem determine to least have the office done because she knew that her bro loved reading and spent most of his time near books.

Damien wanders around the living area, studying his surroundings.

A habit he got from Nyoka.

He folds his hands behind his back, and smiles slightly. Maybe, one day soon, I could try this with Rhiannon? he thinks. Once Mum Eirnae is settled back in the manor, that is. he adds.

Lost in his thoughts over how he could actually get up the courage to even ask Rhiannon to move out with him, he stares out the window, watching some birds fly past.

Surion wanders up besides Damien "Nice view isn't it, the stream, the forest... Nani picked a wonderful spot for us" He watches the same birds as Damien for a moment and stuffs his hands into his jeans and peers towards him. He isn't surprised to notice that Damien is wearing Elven garb as usual Man we gotta get this boy to dress down he thinks

Placing the last book up she flops down onto the ground smiling as she looked around the room. It was indeed slowly coming together. She spent most of her morning working in the upstairs room.

Arching her back she winces slightly before laying down on the floor closing her eyes. She just needed a small break, she get back to working right afterwards.

Damien nods, watching the birds fly out of sight.

"Yes, she did," he turns to Surion now, his hands still clasped behind his back, the setting sun reflecting off of his white clothes. "You two really lucked out. . . . I hope, in the future, Rhiannon and I can get this lucky," he gestures to the open space out the window.

"Yeah, I'm sure you and Rhi will too, there's a ton of land here from what I saw on the map... and if you don't live on the estate, I'm sure you'll find somewhere just as awesome" He ponders for a time "Want to go out as a group this evening?" he asks and smiles, perhaps a chance to get Damien to dress down, and have fun to boot

Finally getting up Tinania broke down the last box adding it to the pile of other ones before she left the room. Heading towards the stairs to heads down to the main floor.

Stopping at the foot of the stairs she leans against the railing smiling "What you two up to huh?" she pulls at her white spaghetti strap shirt alittle only to get alittle dirt on it. It didn't seem to bother her she winks then giggles "Oh Mein the office if pretty much set up if you wish to check it out. Got loads of books now.."

Damien looks at Surion. "Well, what did you have in mind?" he asks.

Then, his attention is divided, as he turns to listen to Tinania speak. "You didn't have to go through all of that trouble, Nani," he says, smiling a little. "I could have gone this time without books if I had to."

"I was thinking we could go to the Night's Portal" he peers towards his love "What you think love? want to go to the club?" He knows she loves dancing, and hey... it gave them a break from all the unpacking. He looks around, there was a LOT of boxes left still.

Tinania smirks then shakes her head at Mein "It wouldn't be Mein if I didn't think about you first. Beside I like reading as much as you do." she steps down off the final step before walking over to them.

Placing her hands on her hips she smiles tilting her head "Hmm dancing is fun..." she pauses looking around the room "But shouldn't we continue to unpack..." she glances at Mein then to Surion.

Damien blinks. "Erm, dancing?" he pauses, and his hands wring behind his back.

The last time he went to the Night Portal, he didn't have a lot of fun. . . . But, he doesn't want to be rude. . . . Nani already unpacked a whole room for him. . . . And, if they wanted to unwind there. . . .

He sighs. "Sure, if there are no objections, why not?" he replies.

"Love, we can take a break, we're gonna be here a long time, it wont go anywhere" he leans over and kisses her cheek. Turning to Damien he smiles "Dancing is fun, especially when you aren't drunk... you know those two spiked our drinks right?... Nani told me a while back on my first day on the job"

Tinania smiles then relaxes leaning back against Surion, she giggles looking at Damien "It's true, I know because Aylana did it to Tari and Celia for me. I was getting them back..." she tilts her head as she wrapped her arms around her waist.

"You don't have to go Mein, but if you do go I'll make sure our sister don't spike any of our drinks okay?" she wrinkles her nose then steps away from them "I'll let you guys talk. I'm gonna go jump in the shower." leaning up she press a lingering kiss to Surion's lip before she turns heading back up the stairs.

Damien keeps his eyes averted during the PDA.

Of course, he suspected that Aylana and Nyoka had a hand in whatever went on that night before. And, the drink tasted off to him when he had it, but since he had never had this 'Mountain Dew' before, he thought that was how it was supposed to taste.

He shrugs it off. At least he tried it once. And, he can say, with some certainty, that he did not like it all that much.

"No, I am fine with . . . dancing," he says.

Then, he watches Tinania run off. "A shower sounds good," he says, after a moment's pause. "I think I will do that . . . If you could direct me to one, Surion, that is," he says, his eyes moving to meet Surion's again.

Surion nods "Yeah no problem" he smiles and heads for the second floor, he'd had a shower so there was one free just then. At the top of the stairs he points out the door for the bathroom which was ajar "Just over there, want to borrow a robe so you can change in the guest room?"

Tinania was out of the shower within twenty minutes. Walking into her bedroom she quickly dries herself as she looks through the closet debating what he wanted to wear.

Finally deciding she was in the mood for dark green, she grabs her a part of dark blue jeans tossing them onto the unmade bed. She flips though the shirts until she pulls out a long sleeve v-neck top. She had no reason to really dress that much up, she was going to be with Surion.

Pulling on panties and a bra she slips into a jeans then the top as she walked into the bathroom again grabbing her brush. She hummed softly to herself her eyes partly closed.

Damien nods, "Sure," he says, and waits while Surion gets him a robe.

He takes it, and says his thanks, before retreating into the bathroom. He then gets the water the right temperature before getting ready to step in.

He tries to calm his nerves about entering the club again with the hot water, but he keeps thinking about the last time he went. . . .

Goddess, how does he get himself into these things?

Surion wanders into the office and waits to hear the sound of running water, giving Damien a few minutes to get into the shower he pulls out a piece of paper and draws the appropriate symbols and shapes, then heads out and down the hall. He uses his ability to become invisible and does just that. Concentrating on being quiet he slowly slips in the door and smiles, neatly folded he sees Damien's clothing. He slides the paper underneath and touches the edges of the circle using alchemy to change the clothing into more appropriate clothing for the evening, the laws of equivalent exchange work well in his favor to making sure the clothing would be the right size. He pulls the thick paper back out quickly and then slips down the hall to the guest room and takes hold of the bag of clothing. Leaving the room and heading for the office and it's half unpacked boxes hiding the bag in one and putting a heavier box atop before putting his page away and heads for his room to get dressed as he becomes visible again

Tinania places the brush back onto the counter as she walks into her room. Taking a seat on the bed, she pulls on her black tennis shoes. Looking herself over she smiles before standing.

Grabbing the folded sheets off the bed she goes about making the bed, that way later she could just fall into bed and not have to worry about anything else.

Damien steps out of the shower, wiping his eyes as he fumbles for a towel and the robe.

He slips into the robe before he starts to dry his waist-length hair. As he does so, he happens to look down at where he left his clothes.

Blinking, he drops the towel, and hurries to them.

Dropping onto his knees in front of them, he frowns.

He pushes the shoes away, and picks up the shirt. "Him?" he mumbles, shaking his head, and tossing the shirt to the side. With horror, he picks up the pants. "What the hell!" he cries, looking at the chains and studs, and handcuffs! Gripping the pants in his hand, he heads to the door. Pausing, realizing he is in a robe, he actually growls.

Taking a calming breath, he jerks the clothing on. He leaves his damp, straight hair down, and stomps out of the bathroom. He starts to look for Surion and Tinania.

(( Damien's Full Outfit ))

Surion walks in shucking his shirt onto a chair and closing the door pulling his clothing off "Love hun... " he grabs his pants and pulls them on... the same ones he wore the first day he went to work and walks up behind her wrapping his bare arms around her "Love, change into something different please? A little more clubby..." He purrs kissing her cheek and pulling away to grab his mesh shirt from the top of a box, wristlets and studded collar working to put them on

(( Surion's Full Outfit ))

Tinania arches a brow then giggles as he kisses her cheek, turning she places her hands on her hips "Okay okay fine I will. But I don't know what wrong with the way I am dress right now..." kicking her shoes off slipped out of the top tossing it onto the chair as she grabbed her silk jade corset top. Fixing the mesh on the top she looks though the closet once more before pulling out her baggy black bondage pant.

Slipping into them she adjusted the straps and chains before bending down to slip into her black pinstripe shoes. Walking over she pulls on her lacy black fabric choker then her four black barbwire bracelets.

Pulling her hair up into a ponytail she turns to look at Surion "Is this okay now love?" she was hoping to stay comfortable, but if there was a reason behind the way she was to dress she wasn't going to ask

(( Nani's Full Outfit ))

Damien is quietly fuming as he moves down the hall. "Surion! Tinania!" he calls, a bite of anger in his voice.

He takes some calming breaths as he walks, and peeks into rooms.

Surion purrs fastening the final buckle of the wristlets and looks up "Perfect love, you look wonderful" he looks towards the door "Love you want to see what he wants while I get my boots on?" he reaches for his work boots putting them on and lacing them up

Tinania arches a brow as she hears Mein scream, shaking her head she steps out of the room, the whole time she was fixing the last bit of chains on her pants "Mein what are you yelling abo-" she looks up and nearly tripped over her own pants.

Her eyes widen as looked over Damien, her jaw had dropped. It took her nearly a minute before she came to, and it took every once of control she had not to bust out laughing at him "What are you wearing Mein?" she tried to say this without giggling but she couldn't help it.

Damien narrows his eyes at Tinania. "Where are my clothes?" is all he has to ask. "What did you two do with them?"

He crosses his arms over his chest and just glares.

Surion wanders from the room looking Damien up and down "Damien you look good" he nods... then he hears the question "You are wearing them of course" he smiles tapping his chin "I think he's missing things though" He was smart, when he used the alchemy he left the tag of Damien's shirt intact. He looks at Nani as if to get her opinion.

Tinania shook her head frowning "I didn't do anything with your clothes. I've been in my room the whole time.." she turns just as she hears Surion voice frowning. "He looks good, I will admit that, but next time warn me when your going to do something like that.." shaking her head she steps place Surion heading back into her room.

Stopping at the door she looks back at Surion "He can borrow my barbwire necklace and my wrist cuffs. I think those will match.." stepping back into her room she heads towards the bathroom to work on her make and more so to get away from the men.

Damien's fist close tightly, his manicured nails digging into his palms.

"I am not wearing this. I want my clothes back. All of them. And, I am not going to wear any of that rubbish jewelry," he says, testily.

"You didn't ask me if you could take my clothes, you didn't ask me if I wanted to try another type of clothing, you just assumed I was going to go along with this," he frowns. "Now, I want them back."

Surion frowns slightly "I do apologize Damien, they do look good on you, do hope you may consider keeping them..." he loops his thumbs in the loops at the top of his own pants. He didn't move from where he was though

Tinania rolls her eyes as she walks back out of the bathroom, she had finished her makeup, mostly wearing black eye shadow with a then lip gloss. Leaning against the door frame she smiles at Mein "You do look good Mein, and my jewelry isn't rubbish its actually really nice."

Pushing off the door frame she walks over fixing Damien's shirt, adjusting the sleeves "Would you at least try the clothes out please? If you don't like it Surion will get your clothes back I promise you on that one." she turns looking at Surion, her eyes narrowing at him. She was letting him know she means it. Glancing up at Mein she smiles "Pretty please?"

Damien narrows his eyes again, at both of them.

He looks away from the both of them, though he does swat away Tinania's hands gently.

The first sign that his anger is slowly boiling out.

At great length, he says, "I don't like the clothes. They aren't me, and I look like a fool." At that, he glances back at Surion. "No offense."

But, he sighs, deflating a little. "Fine," it is a forced word, as he really dos not want to be parading around in something that looks as horrible as what he is wearing. "For a few hours, I will endure this. But only that long. And, as long as I get my clothes back. . . ."

Surion smiles and nods "Yeah I'll change them back" he says and walks intot he room picking up a pendant on a chain from the dresser slipping it over his head, it's his alchemists necklace, if Damien wanted his Elven garb back... he would need it.

Tinania smiles then leaning up she kisses Damien's cheek "Thank you Mein..." she turns then pokes Surion's chest "You play nice..." shaking her head she head downstairs mostly to go relax at the boys finished getting ready.

Laying across the couch she lays her head on her arms she hums to herself as she looks around the room. She still couldn't believe this was her new home.

"Yeah, yeah," he waves off Tinania, with a small smile on his lips.

"Are you really planning on adding more hardware to this?" Damien asks, gesturing to his clothes. "Because, the pants are heavy enough as it is. . . ." he informs Surion.

Surion laughs "No, with what Nani adds and what you have, you look really cool. And don't worry, in the club, that isn't being dressed like a fool" he grabs the wristlet and barbwire necklace off the dresser and hands them to Damien "Shall we get the evening started then... so that you can have it end before you know it" he heads past the male and down the stairs

Tinania looks up when she Surion walking down the stair, with a small smiles she continues to keep laying there "You ladies finally ready?" she was giggling, she truly did love picking on them both. "Or do you two need more time to make sure you look beautiful?"

Damien sighs at Tinania's comment when they get into the room.

"Uh, sure, I am ready," he says, pulling on the uncomfortable fishnet sleeves, and feeling like a complete idiot. "Just, lead the way. . . ."

Surion laughs "Lets go love, we have a club to hit!" he grabs his pouch off the table and pulls it open pulling some money out, a couple cards and things stuffing them in a pocket before dropping the pouch down on the table once more. He smiles and heads for the door.

Climbing off the couch she smirks as she grabs her cell phone slipping it into her pocket. Making sure she has the keys she slips out of the door after the boy. Locking the door she turns looks at the boys "So how we getting there? Hover disc or car?" she points toward Tari's jeep that she was borrowing while they brought everything over to the house.

Damien shrugs. "Whatever is easiest. . . ." he says.

Surion eyes the car "Well, there's 3 of us and 2 discs, so I would imagine the jeep would be easiest" he pulls the door shut behind them and pockets the house keys

Tinania giggles heading towards the jeep "Then its the jeep, and I'll drive..." she winks popping the driver's side opens before climbing in. She turns looking at the boy smiling "You two coming?"

Mentally grumbling, Damien heads to the jeep. He climbs in back and buckles up, waiting to leave.

Taking Damien Clubbing ~ Part 2: The Nights Portal

Surion laughs and climbs into the jeep "I brought money if we want to grab anything before or after the club..." he leans back and rests his arm on the doorframe

Tinania smiles turning the jeep on, putting it into reverse she pulls away from the house. Turning she heads down the path leading towards Barton. Glancing over only for a moment she smiles "I'm gonna head up towards the apartment when we get to the club Surion. I left my emo bag there and I really need it tomorrow." she turns back looking at the road as she turns right heading into the outskirts of Barton.

Damien silently hopes that they stop no where other than the club.

But, he turns his gaze to the window, to watch the scenery passing by.

"Gotcha love, you brought your cardkey so you could do that yes?" He peers over his shoulder at the silent passenger, he hoped Damien would loosen and have a little fun that evening

Tinania looks at Surion from the corner of her eye "Of course hun. Its in my pocket with my cell phone..." she smiles as the reach what looks like a huge rundown warehouse. Pulling into the underground parking lot she heads towards the parking that is close to the elevator.

Pulling into the parking spot she puts the car into park before turning it off. Turning in her seat she looks at Damien "You sure you wanna do this Mein?" she was alittle concern, she knew Damien and how he acted, and right now she could tell he was uncomfortable which was what she didn't want while he stayed with them.

Damien snaps out of her thoughts when he is spoken to. "What?" he asks as the words sink into his head. "Ah. Yes, I am fine." A lie? Perhaps. But, he isn't about to admit that he doesn't like the idea of this to anyone but himself.

"I'm just . . . ah . . . anxious to get to the club?" he tries a smile but isn't sure if it comes off as a happy one, frustrated one, or a nervous one.

Surion listens to the words spoken, he can smell the nervousness though he says nothing. "All right then, everyone out" and he pushes open the door of the jeep and climbs out leaving it open for Damien before straightening his clothing once more before heading for the elevator

Climbing out of the jeeps she fixes her top before closing the door. Turning she walks over toward Damien's side. Placing a hand on her waist she holds her hand out "Come on Mein, you'll be fine I promise."

Reluctantly, Damien steps out. He stands, still, and waits for the others to lead the way.

"This way Damien, Nani is going up to the apartment first" he presses the button to the elevator looking back at his friend with a smile

Tinania winks to the boys as she takes the other elevator. Stepping into it she pushes the third floor button. Resting against the wall she hums to herself as the elevator moves upwards.

When the elevator stops at her floor she steps out heading down the hall to the apartment. Pulling out the card she swipes it through the door then enters closing the door behind her.

Surion waits for Damien to get in and then sends it up to the club's main floor before stepping out into the loud music "Hey lets grab a booth to start while we wait for Nani" he says over the music heading for a booth in the same general area as the last time he and Damien were there together

Stepping into the living room Tinania take a seat on the couch as she grabs her emo bag. She sighs running her hand though her bangs, she jumps when her phone goes off. Pulling it out she flips it open the arches a brow seeing it was a private call. Popping it open she speaks as she stands "Hello?"

The other side smiles then speak in a low seductive voice "Hey Nani, I thought you were staying at home tonight?" he leans against the wall outside.

Tinania groans then shakes her head "What the hell do you want Justin?" she walks over to the window looking out. Sure enough she could spot him in line.

He gives a laugh "You know what I want Nani..."

Damien nods. "That sounds like a good plan," he says.

Again, when the music bursts out, he claps his hands over his sensitive ears again. He's tempted to bolt again, but he said he would stick it out. So, he follows Surion.

Surion moves along the edge of the crowd towards a booth, force of habit he moves to the beat of the music and calls for a server as he slides into the booth

Tinania rolls her eyes then smirks "You know that won't happen Justin..." she turns heading for the door. She looks back for a moment to make sure she isn't missing anything before stepping out of tbe apartment.

Justin smiles as he steps into the club "Well at least allow me a dance how does that sound?" he looks around the dance floor.

Tinania sighs walking down the hall then shrugs "One dance but that it. No more and no less...." she pushes the button to the main floor on the elevator.

Justin smiles then laughs alittle "I'll be by the elevator waiting for you.." he hangs up the phone then stands there waiting.

Damien slides into the familiar booth, and shrinks as best he can in his seat.

The last thing he needs is-

"Damien?" Nyoka slithers over to the booth.

Great. He thinks. Just my luck, "Yes?" he says. He eyes the tray in his sister's hands.

"I'm filling in for one of the other girls," she explains. She gives Damien the once over, and her eyebrow quirks up. "What did you do to yourself?" she asks, putting a hand on her hip.

Damien sighs. "I didn't do anything to myself," he says.

Surion relaxes in the booth, it seemed almost ironic to him that Damien's own sister would be the one to serve them. He listens to the exchange between the pair and glances towards the elevator he knows comes from the 3rd floor

Tinania steps off the elevator and rolls her eyes looking at Justin. Placing her hand on her hip she looking him over "You know your a pain sometimes" she frowns as she turns heading toward the dance floor.

Justin follows her then shrugs "I've been called that by you many times. But it doesn't stop me.." he takes her hand and twirls her. Tinania laughs then steps away from as she moves "Justin you really need to learn to give up."

Tinania turns glancing at the booth she normally sits at she smiles to Surion and Mein then goes back to dancing.

Damien doesn't notice the wave, as he is too busy swatting Nyoka's hand away from the handcuffs on the pants he is wearing.

"Would you leave them be," he says, irritated.

Nyoka laughs, throwing back her head as her wings flap merrily. "Casnes, darling, you look. . . . Different."

Damien narrows his eyes at his sister. "If you are just going to make fun of me, I would rather you take our order and leave," he says.

"Oh, fine," Nyoka says, still chuckling. "What will it be?"

"Water, and only water, for me," Damien says.

Surion shakes his head and smiles softly, his eyes hardly left Nani, he was interested in whoever it was she was dancing with "A club soda for me Nyoka, and bring Nani her usual so she has something when she comes to join us please"

Tinania turns back to Justin just as the song ends "There you had your dance, now go flirt with someone else okay." she turns not even giving him a chance to do anything.

Justin watches her for a moment before laughing, he smiles as some random chick walks up to him. Within second he forgets all about Tinania.

Tinania climbs the stairs then heads over to the booth smiling "Hey sorry it took so long a co-worker wanted a quick dance from me.." she leans forward kissing Surion's forehead.

Looking at Nyoka she smiles then giggles "Hey how are you Nyoka?"

"I am doing well," Nyoka says. "But, I will have to be so somewhere else. I will have the drinks out here as soon as they are ready." She winks at Surion, for old time's sake, and slithers off.

Damien just shakes his head and crosses his arms on the table. He then buries his face in his arms.

Surion purrs softly as Nani kisses his forehead "Hey love... ah ok" he replies softly to her, Oh Visha, don't let her start flirting he thinks and nods to Nyoka before looking at Damien

Taking a seat in Surion's lap she glances over at Mein "You okay Mein?" she tilts her head watching him then looks at Surion "You don't mind if I steal Mein do you?" she doesn't really wait as she stand the pulls at Mein's arm.

"Come on lets go dance... loosen you up alittle. It will be fun.." she gives her smiles that she only gave to Damien before turning to Surion "You too love.." she winks at him then smiles "Otherwise I'll just have to tease you..."

"I think I would rather sit here," Damien says, not lifting his head.

His idea of fun is not dancing with a married couple. . . .

"You two go and have fun, though," he says. "Don't worry about me, I will sit here and amuse myself."

Surion laughs "Then we won't dance as a married couple, you dance with your friend and sister" he gets up and heads into the crowd leaving Nani to deal with Damien

Tinania watches Surion walk off before she turns to look back at Damien "Come on Mein please. You know I would feel awful if I left you up here, beside I'll dance with you. I know Surion won't mind." she gives him her pouty look then pulls at his sleeve again. "Pretty please..."

Grumbling, audibly now, Damien drags himself to his feet and sighs. "Alright, one dance, and I am sitting back down. . . ." he says.

Surion climbed up on a platform, he liked dancing up there, and he was allowed, he would come down after Nani and Damien danced as he saw her coaxing him towards the floor, he did have to grin, Damien looked MUCH more dressed down, and in his eyes, those looked good on him

Tinania smiles then pulls at his arm heading down to the dance floor still holding his hand. Turning she smiles as she starts dancing she was close but far enough away where her body wasn't touching his.

Tilting her head she smiles at him "Your not having fun are ya?" she said it all serious yet still somehow manage to keep a smile on her lips.

Damien sighs, and starts to dance.

His Elven grace is the only thing making him not look like a moron.

"Honestly?" he asks. With another sigh, he looks away. "Not particularly. But, you two wanted to come here, and I didn't want to keep you from doing it. . . ." he looks back at Nani. "Look, I love you guys, you're good friends. But, this?" he sweeps an arm around at the people. "It's more to your tastes. You, Surion, Nyoka . . . well, most of the family's. It's not really . . . me."

He pauses again, still dancing. "You have to admit that, Nani. You know me too well," he says, smiling genuinely for the first time since he has arrived at the club.

Surion dances out the song atop the platform pocketing the couple of tips that had wound up given him before jumping down again and heading for the table. He'd watched Damien from the platform, he leans close to Nani's ear as he passes "Bring Damien to the apartment when you are done your dance" he whispers and retrieves their drinks from the table before going to the elevator and disappearing into it

Tinania smiles hearing Surion's words. Se nods then watches him leave. Turning back she smiles to Damien. She only steps closer so that she didn't have to yell "Yea I do know you Damien. Its hard tell ya the truth, my boyfriend is into the clubbing like me. Then my best friend who also happens to be the greatest brother is into books. Somehow I needs to figure out how to mix the two." she shrugs then smiles alittle.

"I just miss talking and hanging with you. With us both having someone special in our lives it gets harder to hang out." she laughs alittle then blushes "There I go acting like a child..." she looks up then smiles "Next time we'll go to the book store how that sound. I haven't been there for awhile.." she steps away from him just as the song ends.

Surion gets off on the 3rd floor and goes into their apartment, he sets the drinks on the table and digs in a drawer for a pad of paper and a marker, standing at the table he leans over the paper starting to draw purposeful shapes on it

Tinania looks at him arching a brow "Damien you didn't ruin the evening I promise you that. Like me Surion takes breaks from dancing. So please don't say sorry, you didn't do anything wrong.." she touches his cheek before taking his hand.

Walking up the stairs she looks back at Damien "Yea a picnic sounds great and trust me Surion loves the outdoors as much as you and me." she winks then giggles "Come on let head up to the apartment.." she motions towards the elevator heading in that direction.

"Yeah, well, I am an old stick in the mud," Damien jokes, as he follows Nani.

"That's good," Damien comments. "Something I think all of us could really like," he smiles.

Surion looked over the large page and pulled it off the page putting it on the table and dropped onto a chair.

Tinania giggles shaking her head "Nah Mein your not no stick in the mud. You just have fun a different way that is all. And there is nothing wrong with that." she winks then pushes the button for the third floor.

Nodding she steps into the elevator once it opens "Yup, maybe we can go hang out by the beach. Plus it be fun to see Rhiannon again. We were suppose to go shopping together but it never happen." she shrugs then smiles.

"That sounds like a good plan," Damien says, then leans back against the elevator wall, sticking his hands into his pockets.

He frowns at the clinking the metal on his pants makes, but he pushes that back.

At least the ringing in his ears is slowly decreasing.

Surion relaxes fiddling with the pendant hanging against his chest and drinking his drink, he thought about that eve's events thus far, or lack thereof

Closing her eyes for a moment she was actually glad herself to be out of the music also. Looking over at Damien she looks his outfit over then shakes her head. She looks over when the elevator comes to a stop and opens on there floor.

Smiling she glances at Damien as she steps out. She waits for Damien before heading down the hall. "This place is like a second home to me and Surion." she pulls out her swipecard as they reach the door.

Swiping the card though she pops the door open then steps aside "After you Mein.."

Damien nods, "Thank you, Tinania," he says. He looks around when he enters the room. He spots Surion and quickly looks away.

"Ah, thank you for bringing the drinks, Surion," he says, his voice going a little quiet. He is not sure if he will be mad at him for being a "spoil sport."

Taking Damien Clubbing ~ Part 3: Running into Rhi

Surion smiles "Hey no problem Damien... I want to thank you for being such a good sport... if you uhm... change outta those in teh bathroom I'll give you back your clothing, there's a robe in there, or you can borrow some jeans from the drawer" he says. He has no intention to be done for the night, just wanted Damien to feel more comfortable

Tinania smiles walking over kissing Surion's cheek before heading into the kitchen. Popping the fridge opens she grabs herself an apple taking a bite of it as she closes the fridge.

Leaning against the counter she smiles to Damien "Go on Mein, go change. Knowing Surion he has something else planned." she looks over at Surion then smiles knowing she was fully right.

Damien smiles, and shifts on his feet. "Actually, Surion," he says, his voice still soft. "If it is all the same to you. . . . I might keep this outfit. . . . In case I get spontaneous in the future and want to come here?"

He glances over at Tinania before returning his eyes to Surion again. "And, if Tinania is right about you having something else planned, perhaps it would be good to have it as a memento, as well?"

Surion quirks a brow, well that wasn't something he expected "All right, tis up to you, as for what else to do, we can go back down, stay here and watch something or go out and get some food" he looks at Damien plainly giving the choice to him

Tinania smiles then looks to Surion "I have to admit, I'm not up to dancing tonight. After working on the house then cleaning I would rather do something that allows me to relax..." she pushes off the counter.

Walking over she wraps an arm around Damien rest her head on his arm. She was glad he did came, she missed hanging out with him. Looking up she smiles "So what would you like to do Mein other then the dancing?"

Although he would like nothing more than to sit around and watch movies, he is hungry.

And, besides, why drive over here if all they are going to do is do something that they could have done at home?

Besides, it has been a while since he has eaten out, and especially in good company.

"Well, if there are no objections," he say, giving Tinania a squeeze with his arm. "And if you are hungry as well, I could do with a bite to eat."

Surion nods and stands "No objections on my part, Any preference on kinds of foods?" he knew what kinds of foods Nani ate, but wasn't sure about Damien

Tinania smiles then nods "Food sounds great, I think I must have forgotten to do that today." she looks up at Damien giggling before holding her hand out to Surion. This to her was the greatest thing having the two people she was most close to with her right now. Her brother and her mate.

"Actually," Damien starts, smiling in a genuine way now. "I am not picky when it comes to food. . . . So, whatever you two want."

Surion laugh taking Nani's hand "All right, then lets let the lady of the group pick where" he smiled, he could usually find something he would eat regardless where he went.

Tinania glares at them both then rolls her eyes laughing "You two are evil..." she nudges Damien in the side as she thinks before speaking up "What about that little cafe in Barton? Its got some great food there. At least fruit wise.." she shrugs then smiles "Plus its pretty close."

"Sounds excellent to me," Damien says, grinning.

Surion smiles and grabs up his cardkey "All right then the cafe in Barton it is, sounds like a good way to fill our bellies"

Nodding she follows after the boys keeps her hands behind her back. She hums to herself as her wings fluttered alittle. This was going to be fun, it gave her a chance to catch up with Damien. But also gave Surion and Damien a chance to become friend.

Damien is silent, but a happier silent, as he follows. He looks around, secretly making sure that no one else he knows is around.

What if Rhi saw him in this, after all?

That thought makes him want to laugh.

Surion leads them all back to the elevator, he bypasses the main club floor all together when he pushes the button to take them back to the parking garage. He looks at Damien and smiles, the male DID look good, even if Damien wasn't fond of the clothing himself

Tinania didn't talk, her hands were behind her back. She kept running her finger over her ring which caused her to smile. Leaning back against the wall od the elevator she lets her hair fall into her face.

Lifting her hand to play with her choker she looks over at Damien then Surion. Before slipping her hand into her pocket pulling at the keys to the jeep.

When they get in the jeep, and start driving, Damien just stares out of the window. He watches as they pass the buildings, brushing a stray hair out of his face.

When they reach the cafe, he waits patiently for someone to let him out.

He can see the counter through the window,and he scans the occupants.

Then, he pales, before sliding down in his seat. Rhiannon, his fiance, right there. The last person he would wish to see him as such. . . .

He sighs, closing his eyes. Maybe, when he opens them again, she won't be there. He peeks over the car door, and shakes his head. Nope, she is still there. . . .

Surion, having never met Rhiannon, looked at his friend with a look of curiousity... "Hey come on, lets go eat" he says after hoping out and pulling hte seat forward so Damien could climb out of the jeep

Opening the door she sclimbd out of the car. Looking toward Damien she arches a brow alittle "You gonna get out of the car Mein?" she turns looking towards the cafe to see what was causing him to hide.

That when she spotted Rhi, her jaw dropped alittle and she bites her bottom lip. Oh man she didn't expect to see Rhi here. Looking back at Mein she looks to Surion "You know I know a better place that we could go get food. Its just on the other side of town..." she was really hoping that Surion would agree. She didn't want her brother embrassed, not in front of Rhi at least.

Rhiannon finished her drink, sliding the empty glass away from her and hopping off the stool. She picked up the carrier bag that had been by her feet, and as she left the Cafe, glanced towards the street and saw Tinania, getting out of a car with a teenage boy that she didnt recognise. She wondered if it was Surion.
'Hey,' she called, walking over, not noticing that Damien was in the car right away.

Damien groans a little when he hears Rhiannon's voice. He hears her coming toward them, and decides there is nothing for it. He doesn't want his fiance to think that he doesn't want to see her. . . .

So, blushing deep red, he straightens in the seat. He looks over at Tinania and says, in elven, "Well, she has seen you, so we cannot possibly leave."

He turns to look at Rhiannon, still blushing, and smiles slightly. "Erm, hello, melamin."

Surion looks at Nani and wonders why she suddenly wants to go elsewhere... least until someone walks up to them... Both Nani and Damien seem to know her, so Surion assumes this is the reason. "Hello" Surion replies with a smile and a small wave, clubbing clothing was not unusual attire for him so it didn't bother him to be seen... Melamin... Surion thinks to himself as he hears the Elven speech... Well, hopefully soon with Eirnae's help I'll be able to understand what they are saying

Tinania smiles biting her bottom lip before tilting her head to the side "Hey Rhi, I didn't know you be here tonight. " her wings fluttered as she looks toward Damien who spoke up then to Surion "Well um this is Surion.." she holds her hand out towards him then looks at Damien "And um we kindof took Mein out with us tonight...it's why he um welll...dress like that.." she was blushing from ear to ear. Almost as bad at Damien. More so because she felt that Damien's financee going to see him in an outfit that wasn't him.

'Damien..' Rhiannon's face lit up at the sound of his voice, and she smiled at him, not straight away noticing what he was wearing.
'Oh this is Surion huh?' she smiled at him, holding her hand out to him to shake.
'It's nice to meet you.'
Her eyes raked over him quickly; she could see the attraction, definately. She blinked at Tinania's latter comment, and looked at Damien properly who yet to leave the car.
'Oh..my..' she laughed then.
'Oh Damien you do look a little...well that's new,' she finished.

Damien turns an even darker shade of red, and slides from the car. "Yes, laugh at my misfortune," he says, narrowing his eyes at Rhiannon in mock-offense.

It might be impossible for him to be mad at her. That has not been tested properly as of yet.

"Here, you can get a good look," he says, turning around fully to show her all of it. "My own fiance, making fun of me. . . ."

"Surion, you have been introduced, but Rhiannon has not, so . . . Surion, this is my fiance, Rhiannon. Now you can put a face with the name."

Surion didn't blush like his mate or Damien. He didn't see any reason to... "Very nice to meet you Rhiannon" he takes her hand and give it a firm shake with a smile. He watched Rhiannon examine Damien wondering how she'd react to Damien's statement

Tinania bites her bottom lip looking down for a moment pushing her hair from her face. She had to admit it was alittle funny, but she wasn't going to laugh about it. She knew that would set Damien off.

Looking back up she smiles wrapping her arm around Surion's waist "We were just going to go inside the cafe to get something to eat. Your more welcome to join us Rhi if you like." her wings fluttered as she leans into Surion resting her head against his arm.

Rhiannon chuckled at the crimson hue adorning Damien's cheeks and she tapped her cheek with a finger as she regarded him thoughtfully;
'It's hard not to when you look like that,' she went up to him, hooking a finger in the waistband of the black pants and pulled him to her.
'But I still think you're handsome whatever crazy gear you wear,' and she planted a kiss on his lips before pulling away a little and nodding at Tinania.
'Well I was just in there, but yeah I'll definately join you for a while.'

Uh oh, public displays of affection. . . .

Damien's eyes widen, and he blushes deeper. But, he manages to get into the kiss before Rhiannon pulls away, and he keeps a hand at the small of her back.

"Erm . . . do we want to go inside?" he asks, not knowing what else to say.

Surion nods wrapping his arm around Nani "Yeah I'm hungry so lets go see whats on the menu" he moves to steer Nani into the diner

Tinania nods the giggles "Yea lets get something to eat..." pushing the door open to the cafe she steps inside holding the door to let the others follow. Looking around she smiles spotting a booth.

With a nod to the others she leads them over slipping into sit as she grabs a menu handing one to each of them before grabbing her own. Looking the menu over she bites her bottom lip debating what she wanted to eat.

Rhiannon grinned at Damien's blushes, and moving away from him, grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the Cafe.
'C'mon,' she said, smiling.
'I only had a drink when I was sitting in there, I could use a little something to eat now.'

Damien allows himself to be pulled inside, and immediately feels like an idiot.

Yeah, curse his sentimental thinking, wanting a damn momento of this night had to be this stupid outfit!

Refusing to allow himself to grump, he puts a smile on his face, and squeezes Rhiannon's hand as he sits in the booth. He takes a menu and looks it over. "Thank you, Nani."

He scans the list for a salad or something. . . . "What's good here?" he asks.

"A burger looks good to me, and a soda" Surion nods peering down the list on the menu with a smile. He shifts his weight a little the pendant sliding across his chest as he moved to wrap an arm around Nani

Rhiannon whispered into Damien's ear as she sat in the booth, giggling a little.
'I could go for a burger as well,' she said, sniffing the air, her wolven ears flicking.

Tinania smiles laying her head on Surion's shoulder for a moment "Well not me, meat just don't like me." she smiles then shrugs "I'll have the nachos, along with the cheese fries. And a mountian dew for the drink." closing the menu she runs her fingers over Surion's leg lightly "Damien quite the looker at the school. I don't think there isn't a girl in the school that not crushing on him. You got yourself a catch Rhi.."

Damien begins to blush over what Rhiannon said. . . .

And turns a deeper shade of crimson at what Tinania said. He hadn't noticed! Now, he won't be able to teach class!

Covering his face with his hand, using his loose hair to help as well, he stays quiet, trying to concentrate on the menu. Cheese fries sounded good, even if he had never had them before.

He squirms a little in his seat, and looks over at the people sitting on the stools at that counter. "I think I might try the cheese fries," he says, absently, trying to steer the conversation away from what Nani mentioned. . . .

Surion held up a hand to call a waitress so they could place their orders, his burger is notibly asked for to be rarer then the normal burger.

"How is your job going anyways Damien?" Surion asks after placing his order

'Oh is that right?' Rhiannon chuckled, looking at the now squirming Damien.
'Well, maybe I should drop by the school one day, y'know pick you up from work.' she smiled sweetly.

<< DUE TO REASONS BEYOND CONTROL THIS WILL BE LEFT INCOMPLETE >>

An... Intruder?

It was weeeee hours of the morning, no later then 4 am. The usual still quietness of the sleeping house broken by the sounds of drawers opening and closing, cupboards following suit, basically anything in the kitchen that could be opened and closed... was.

Tinania was the first person to stir, shaking her head alittle she lifts it up off Surion shoulder looking towards the door as she sat up. Tilting her head she arches a bro before her eyes widen when she hear the noises once again.

Moving alittle closer to Surion she runs her hand lightly over his chest as she leans down whispering against his ear "Surion wake up love, someones downstairs in the kitchen from the sounds of it..."

Surion himself had barely gotten to sleep having gotten home half hour before from work. "Too early... " he mumbles and opens his eyes sleepily he heard the noises and sighs sitting up and stretching before gathering his robe and heading for the kitchen

The yellow spiky haired Pae peered through his dark yellow lenses "Donuts Donuts Donuts..." he mumbles to himself looking for the item he desired

Tinania crawled out of bed also, not really bothering with her robe, she a one blue shorts and a white spaghetti top. Slipping into her slippers she follows after Surion.

Anila peeks out of the extra bedroom rubbing her eyes "What all noise?" she tilts her head to the side holding her blanket in one hand. Tinania looks over then smiles bending down to pick up Anila "Don't know sweetie but were about to find out.."

Comos and Kaelin also peeked there heads out, they didn't say anything just simply following after them. The noises at also woke them up so they were curious as to what was going on downstairs.

Surion wandered almost on auto-pilot down the stairs Auror looking up at them from where he lay with his family "Too bloody early, what fool is making all this noise" he grumbles

The Pae jumps off the counter landing on the floor with his boots and then with a swish of fabric pulled open yet more cupboards in his search

Tinania walked down the stairs only went as far as the living before taking hold on Kaelin's hand causing them to both stop. She lightly kisses Anila on the forehead before looking down at the other two paes "Everything gonna be alright..."

Melinda only stirred for a moment before moving her body closer to Auror yawning alittle. Neharma yipping alittle in her sleep batting at her brother as she rolled over.

Comos held Kaelin close to him trying to get her to calm down for a moment. Looking up at Tinania he nods then looks back towards the kicthen.

Surion wanders into the kitchen and his eyes light upon the spiky yellow hair peeking over the top of the cupboards "What the..."

The Pae heard the voice and reaches up putting his hands on the counter before fluttering his wings to look over the counter "Where do you guys keep your donuts??"

Tinania arches a brow then steps forward heading towards the kitchen. She comes to a halt her jaw dropping looking at the Pae'il "What in the world?"

Kaelin was right behind Tinania followed by Comos. Comos tilts his head looking at the other Pae shaking his head "Great just what we need another one in this house."

Kaelin smirks then shakes her head "So he is from the isle. Okay he really strange looking...he looks like that one that likes to stay outside.. Inuysaha..." she tilts her head looking at the Pae'il.

Anila frowns sticking her tongue out before covers her ears "Too loud.." she lays her head back on Tinania shoulder who could help but giggle. Looking up she tilts her head "Surion you know where he came from?"

"At 4 in the morning Nani, I haven't a clue where to even begin guessing" he still stares at the Pae "Who are you, and how and why are you here" He asks scratching his temple

Vash's eyes light upon Kaelin and a goofy grin spreads across his lips almost a star struck expression and he moves around the counter, his mind no longer on donuts. "You miss I shall protect you, I shall be your bodyguard!"

Tinania arches a brow looking at the pae then to Kaelin "Um do you know this pae?" she runs her hand though Anila hair, she glances over at Comos who just looked like he got slapped.

Kaelin jaw dropped before she shook her head "NO!!! I don't know that pae, and I don't need a bodyguard." she places her hands on her hips glaring at the other pae'il.

Surion intercepts the advancing love-struck looking Pae "Hey... Name"

Vash stands straight and proclaims "I am Vash the Stampede, protector of the weak and innocent" and with that he gives Surion a thumbs up and a nod

"And you got here how? and why?" Surion pries for more info

"The Guardians have sent me, my mission is clear, even if I had to go through a tall white haired goddess to do it!" Vash says peering around Surion to Kaelin

Surion blinks trying to digest this info through his half asleep brain.

Tinania laughs then looks down at Kaelin "Aww I think he likes you Kaelin. Why don't you go say hello?" she steps aside pulling Comos with her. Anila giggles before holding her blanket close to her body.

Kaelin jaw drops then she takes a step back "You have got to be kidding me right? Go say hi to him?" she shakes her head then frowns "Sorry that not happening." she pulls at Comos's hand who just kept looking at the other pae'il dumbstruck.

"This world is filled with love and peace!" he proclaims and then turns his attention to stepping around Surion

"Ok, my brain is sooo not awake enough to deal with this" Surion says rubbing his temple still trying to figure out the previous statement forget the new one

Tinania turns handing the nearly asleep Anila to Comos before she walks over kissing Surion's cheek. Wrapping her arms around Surion's waist she looks down at Vash "So you were sent here by the guardians? Interesting, it means one of us is your caretaker..."

Comos held Anila close running his hand lightly over her hair in a soothing manner. She giggle smiles flapping her wings alittle before placing her thumb in her mouth.

Kaelin shakes her head then looks towards the stair wondering how fast she could make it to them. Looking back to Vash she frowns "Is there anyway we can send him back?"

Vash suddenly confronted by another lady gave another silly grin his mind temporarily distracted from Kaelin "Why yes my lady I was, I have come to see a Surion"

Surion blinks "Me? why on Gaia would anyone chose him for this ... odd Pae"

Tinania arches a brow then shakes her head before smiling "I see, well then I guess your part of the family now." she lays her head on top of Surion's shoulder as she runs her hand lightly over his stomach.

Kaelin eyes widen as her jaw drop "You have got to be kidding. He gonna be living in this house?" she looks at Vash as she pale three times over. This was not something she wanted to deal with.

Comos just shook his head not at all sure what to say. Looking at Kaelin he sighs then looks down at Anila hoping she didn't grow anytime soon. He didn't want to try and keep this guy off both of them at the same time.

"Do not fear, for I will let no harm come!" Vash grinned and moved to follow Kaelin

Surion shakes his head "Love, I'm no where near awake enough to deal with this" he says to Nani a hand over his eyes

Tinania smiles then kisses his cheek "Come on love lets head back to bed then. You need sleep as do I." she keeps her arms wrapped around him hoping she'll be able to lead him back upstairs to their room.

Kaelin eyes narrow arching her brow "You come anywhere near me your going to be the one having harm come to you." turning on her heels she heads back towards the stairs grumbling.

Comos sighs then looking back toward Surion and Tinania he gives a nod before heading towards the stair. Anila was fast asleep with her blanket around her as she curled her small body close to Comos.

Tinania smiles leading Surion up the stair and soon into their bedroom. Glancing over her shoulder for a moment she nods to Comos who just couldn't help but laugh at the scene going on. Tinania smirks before helping Surion into the bedroom. Leading him over to the bed she climbs into it pulling him with her.

Kaelin was the first to make it into the room. Shaking her head she crawls into her bed rolling onto her side as she pulls the covers up over her head.

Comos simply smirks as he walks over placing Anila in her bed brushing her hair from her face before he too climbed into bed. He sat up looking at Vash biting his bottom lip. "Sleep where ever you like tonight. Tomorrow we'll see what bed we can come up with for you."

Surion was asleep once more before his head even finished hitting the pillow and he cuddles closer to Nani

Vash grins and nods and promptly takes a spot on the floor directly beside Kaelin's bed and stretches out closing his eyes

Tinania smiles running her fingers along Surion's hair for a moment before she holds him close. She kisses his cheek before closing her eyes slowly drifting off ot sleep herself.

Comos simply laughs before laying down on his stomach. He watched Vash for a moment before he simply drifts off to sleep.

Kaelin peeks out from under the covers then groans looking down at Vash. Sighing she scoots over in the bed "Come on you, no point of you sleeping on the cold floor."

There was no need to tell Vash twice, taking off his jacket and draping it over a bedpost and pulling his boots off he climbs in beside her with a happy grin

Kaelin rolls her eyes as she turns onto her side facing away from him. Yawning she pulls the covers up to her chin before slowly drifting off to sleep.

Vash stayed awake for a time and then he too fell asleep
