Zev was a tad unsure how to take what her grandfather would of done if she didn't take him back to her house. Well he was certain he meant well to his grandchild that much was certain. At what the girl said about meeting thieves and murders before he could not help but laugh out loud. This was certainly a first for him being compared to them.
Zev held out his hand towards the girl "Zev Myuzaki. But you may call me Zev, Elaine." He said with a smile on his face, he was about to correct her about the demon statement but felt that there was no need, it would be easier for her if she thought he was a demon for the moment. But if her curiosity takes over he will decide there and then how much to tell her. If he was to tell her anything.

×Єlaiɳε Wiɳʈεʀs× ×¨°o•O × O•o°¨× ╔══════════════╗ xxxxxElaine looked at his extended hand helplessly. “I'd love to shake it, but my hands are full..” She commented with a small smile.
xxxxx“Now, shall we go get you dried off before you get sick?” The girl motioned her head for him to follow as she started to walk down the road, “Um.. It's not far from here so no worries.” By no worries Elaine meant that he would be able to relax soon, because she knew that running around all over the place could be rather tiring. Then again he did seem to be more muscular than her.
xxxxxFinally after walking four minutes in the downpour, Elaine stopped in front of a dark shop called “The Winters' Doll Shoppe”. It was a simple name, but the sign was black wood with white scrolling letters to give it a bit of a fancy feel to it. The girl fished into her skirt pocket, and produced a heavy key. Jamming it into the lock she twisted it to hear the satisfying click. Turning the knob she pushed the door open as it's hinges creaked in protest. Stepping inside, Elaine closed the Umbrella, and left it by the door. With the old book tucked under her arm, she ventured into the store front.
xxxxxThe main part of the shop had a many racks, and shelves all filled with dolls. All of them in fancy hand sewn clothes, glass eyes, and porcelain skin. Any normal person would be slightly creeped out by the sight, but to Elaine it was just like home to her. The girl made her way over to the wooden counter, and hopped over it to make it to the matches quicker. It didn't take her long to get back to Zev, oil lamp in hand.
xxxxx“Follow me.” She smiled before leading him to a stair case tucked out of sight over by the counter. Carefully Elaine made her way up the winding steps which led to the part of the shop she lived in. Glancing behind her every now and then to make sure Zev hadn't wandered off, she pushed open the door closest to the stairs in the narrow hallway; her boots ended up hitting all the squeaky floorboards creating a lot of noise. Behind the door was a neatly made bed with white linens, a dresser with dolls on top, and a nightstand.
xxxxxLighting the lamp Elaine pulled open the bottom drawer of the dresser to produce a towel. Throwing it at Zev she pulled open the top drawer, “Dry yourself off a bit while I find you some clothes.”

(heheh couldn't think of much to write so going from entering the building XD)
Once Zev entered the shop he noticed nearly the whole place had what looked like hand crafted dolls on each and every shelf, each of them seemed to have something another didn't, he could tell from here that alot of work went into each and everyone of them. As Elaine went off to get something; he took a closer inspection of one of the dolls which was near by. He didn't pick it up though. The features on the doll itself was very detailed, it almost looked like it was alive, before he could inspect it further Elaine made her way back to him and started to lead him around the back.
Zev could tell by the structure this was a pretty old house, it must of been here for the good part of a century, maybe give or take a few years, but other than the floor boards needing to be replaced the place seemed in pretty good shape.
Zev followed Elaine into a room and it seemed almost like one you would get in a inn. As he was looking around his new environment, he saw something white heading straight for him, he quickly grabbed it and realized it was a towel. He was about to protest to her getting him some dry clothes but she would probably insist so he decided to leave it be.
Zev started to dry his hair rather than his clothing, for they would not dry as long as they stayed on his wet body, he was a tad curious as to who made all the dolls he saw downstairs for he had not seen anyone else since they entered. Did she live on her own? That was probably why she reacted the way she did when he commented about her age, but he didn't want to jump to conclusions, so he thought he would at least ask.
"I haven't seen anyone else since we entered, do you live here all by yourself?"

×Єlaiɳε Wiɳʈεʀs× ×¨°o•O × O•o°¨× ╔══════════════╗ xxxxxElaine was fishing around the top drawer when Zev asked her a question. She froze for a second, but then started to rummage through again, “Yeah, I've been living alone for a little over a year now.”
xxxxxPulling out a large shirt, and a pair of wool sleep pants she handed to Zev with a smile. “Don't worry though. I'm okay.” Walking over to the doorway she put her hand on the knob about to close it. “I'll be in the room across the hall. Just let me know when you're changed.” With that being said she gently pulled the door shut, and made her way to her room, lamp in hand.
xxxxxWalking into her room she was greeted by a porcelain doll with long curly blond hair dressed in a red dress adorned with white lace. “I'm back Marisa.” Elaine smiled at the doll who sat on the foot of the bed.
xxxxx“You're late.” She replied appearing to be pouting.
xxxxx“Sorry..” Elaine sat beside the doll on the bed, and proceeded to pull off her brown leather boots. Unlacing them was always tricky.
xxxxx“And who's here?” Marisa demanded as she crossed her arms.
xxxxx“A boy named Zev. I couldn't just leave him out in that horrible weather.” Elaine sighed answering the doll's questions. “He would catch his death!”
xxxxxMarisa gave Elaine a skeptical glance, but said no more. She didn't like to question her own creator.

Zev saw the small flinch at his question, he knew he shouldn't of asked such a personal question. Normally a reaction like that equals; touchy subject. He saw Elaine pull out a large top and what looked like wool bottoms, she was smiling again though once she handed him the clothes. He wanted to apologize for asking such a personal question but before he could she had already left the room. He should of just guessed the situation himself and left it at that, he hates it himself when people try to ask him about his personal life.
Zev looked over the clothing Elaine had handed him, the top looked ordinary enough but he was a little unsure about the wool bottoms. For he had heard wool can be pretty itchy if it wasn't crafted well but these ones seemed all right for the time being. Zev got changed pretty quickly and he gave a sigh of relief once he was out of his wet clothes, it certainly did feel better to be wearing something dry. He placed he wet clothes on the window sill hoping at least one layer of it would be dry by morning, not that he would mind either way. He place his weapons and his travel bag in one of the far corners of the room, not wanting them to be in the way, he didn't have alot of things but he liked to keep the place he stayed at tidy.
Zev gave a sigh and sat down on the end of the bed, he wasn't used to dealing with kids, although this one seemed to act older than what she is which might help things, he was only here for the night anyway so not too much information needs to be given out about each other. Zev clasped hold of the pendent he wore around his neck and remembered the person who had given it to him. As he was thinking his wolf tail started to pound up and down on the bed, he then grabbed both sides of his head in frustration. "Man......What have I gotten myself into now?"

×Єlaiɳε Wiɳʈεʀs× ×¨°o•O × O•o°¨× ╔══════════════╗ xxxxxElaine gently brushed the doll's hair before changing into a white nightgown that was long sleeved and ankle length. One thing about her was that she never wore anything revealing. Elaine had gotten her taste in modest dress from her grandfather who hated seeing girls walking the streets advertising their bodies.
xxxxx“Behave Marisa, and inform Cleo and Vinny we have a guest here.” The last thing she wanted was to have to explain to Zev that she could give life to dolls.. That would cause quite an uproar, and destroy all beliefs of every religion... Elaine was pretty sure that was a bad thing.
xxxxxLighting up the candle sticks in the hallway, Elain eventually made her way into a living room area at the end of the narrow space. It had a fire place, a dark red couch, and a matching arm chair. The walls of the room were covered with paintings, and shelved dolls. Yes the family trade leaked it's way into every room of the house.
xxxxxMaking a right, Elaine walked through an open door frame with no door. Her grandfather hated the kitchen, living room, and hallway being closed off. Elaine personally like it this way too.. It gave it an flowing feel to the house's layout. Approaching the stove, the youth started to build a fire in the lower chamber. If there was anything she needed at the moment was a cup of hot tea, and that's just what she was making.
xxxxxFilling the brass kettle she set it on the stove to heat, then proceeded to produce a teapot. Taking a few select herbs she put them in the pot, and then remembered that she was supposed to be waiting for Zev in her room. Hurrying down the hallway just in case he was looking for her, she knocked on his door.
xxxxx“Are you done?” Elaine called not daring to enter the room just in case he was still changing.

Zev heard a knock on the door and Elaine's small voice coming from the other side. He brought his head up right he stood up and went towards the window to look out at the coming thunder storm, "Yeah. No worries it's safe to come in" Elaine entered the room shortly after as saw him standing near the window. Zev just remembered he had to take out the contact he wore in one of his eyes, he just hoped Elaine didn't mind.
With his back still towards her he carefully removed the contact, after sleeping with it still in he learned his lesson and that was about 6 years ago and he never forgot it since; waking up after having a contact in your eye all night hurts like heck. He knew a question would pop up about his eyes being different colors but that was a question he could just be plain honest about, so no difficulties there. He was certain though that there was something about this house which he wanted to know about, or more like what was in the house.
He went towards the draws which were near the bed and placed his contact on there for easy access he turned back towards Elaine, he thought he would try to bring up something which he knew wouldn't hit a nerve like last time "You have a very nice house, did you make all those dolls downstairs?" Zev wasn't someone to normally start conversations, he was more of a listener.

×Єlaiɳε Wiɳʈεʀs× ×¨°o•O × O•o°¨× ╔══════════════╗ xxxxxHearing the okay, Elaine walked into the room to see him staring out the window, then fiddle with something in his eye. She wasn't quite sure what to say at first, but thankfully Zev brought her attention back to reality with his question, “I made some of the ones downstairs. The other ones were made by my grandfather.” Mentioning her grandfather this time didn't seem to strike a nerve with the girl at all this time. Truth is, Elaine mentally prepared herself for such questions while she was building the fire in the stove.
xxxxxAfter a long silence, Elaine remembered why she came into the room in the first place. “Um.. You like tea, right?” She asked not sounding really sure about the stranger's taste in food and drinks. “I'm making some right now.. It will warm you right up.” Elaine managed a smile. “I'll be building a fire as well so you can dry your clothes.”

Zev gave a kind look towards Elaine, it was obvious she thought highly of her grandfather, both as a doll crafter and a grandparent. Zev finally noticed the old style night gown the girl was wearing, must be something to do with family traditions or she just simply thought it was more practical. Everyone had there own way of doing things.
"Thank you, and I apologize for asking a personal question earlier." He gave a small bow towards the girl as he apologized. Many would think it would be strange that a older looking demon bowed before a young human girl, but this was how Zev apologized to everyone. No matter who they are or what race.
(sorry for the delay had to cook dinner )

((Meg, Sahjii won't be on for a while, so I'll just puppet her action as minimally as I can while still allowing us movement.))
Sedrick would feel the Elf slide beneath his shoulder, supporting him as well as he would look down the street, Still waiting to get to this apparent building. He'd rather get there quickly and get this sorted out quick, and then possible a little rest before he's off again. Luckily he's still got his drinks sack upon his hip, at least he knew he wouldn't have to get any alcohol for travels, although he still needed to get his equipment from the high street once the shops are open again. He wasn't sure how he'd pay for it, but he was sure he'd get it some how.
((Meg feel free to puppet us over the distance. X3 and sorry Zulee, seems GC got to you first! xD ))

xxxxxWalking over to the window, she picked up his clothes to lay by the fire once she got it going. “Come on, I think the water is just about boiling.”
xxxxxGiving him a smile, she exited the room. Taking a left she made her way down the hall into the cozy living room. She sat the clothes on the back of the couch, then proceeded to toss wood into the fireplace. Elaine, was still unaware of his mismatched eyes.

(( Rorek: Why do you give me the feeling you told him to do that. xDD ))
Lightly opening one Mansi saw that it was some guy picking her up and checking her pulse. She sighed in a bit of an annoyedway. The plan was quite ruined. She thought of what to do and found it. She thought she would have a little fun. Her eyes were fully opened to look straghit into the guy's eyes. " Well, I never thought someone would help me in a situation like this. Thank you so very very much." She held her hands together and wiggled side to side a little. " You can let me down now though. It be nice." She said hopping out of his arms. " I think my hero deserves a kiss~♪" She said sweetly, lowering her head to the side, only showing her one dark brown eye as the otherpart covered by her hair. She stood up on her tip-toes and became to kiss him on the lips. As she did she gripped his shirt, so he wouldn't move and turned into her other half. The male half, Gannet. He began kissing the guy a little longer and then released. " Ah thanks for that. I quite enjoyed it maybe find an Inn and we can know each other even better! Wah-ha-ha!" He winked and blew a kiss at him before he flapped his wings.

 Ame Tenshi For those who think and those who know,
There is always a danger,
A danger beyond all comprehension,
So to be idle and wait a while would be a new kind of detention,Ame smiled when they got to her current place of residence. She motioned for them to follow her to the door. She led them down the hallway of the building to her door which she unlocked promptly and brought them inside. "Here we are."
She took Sedrick to the couch and set him down before running to get them all towels. She came back with huge fluffy towels and handed one to the elf, one to Sedrick and then began drying herself with the other.So to be in the dark,
Is to be alive for a new start,
Don't be naive and think to part,
For we will once again be placed in danger.

Sedrick would of followed Ame's Lead, of course he had little choice if he wanted to get his leg seen to. He would find himself inside was seemed like a rather average sized room upon a couch as he felt the pressure upon his bad leg intense, causing a sharp pain to shoot up his leg. He Hissed slightly, teeth bared as he would arch his back forward, grasping his leg as the rain seemed to wash the wound so it was easier to clean up. He grasped the towel from Ame and began rubbing down his whole body, it was rather quick because of the short fur, as he was dry again quite quickly. His tail flicked from behind him as he dried it off as well, allowing the brush like end to flick back and forth.
He would look towards Ame and the Vael his soft blue pools adjusting to the new lighting, although he could see very clearly. "So... will this treatment be quick? I'd like to be able to move again soon. He asked the Elf but frankly, he didn't mind who treated him, he just wanted to be able to use his leg again.He couldn't help but raise his left hand to his ear, rubbing it as to check if it really was as dry as he could get it with the towel provided. He didn't use the towel to clean his wound, he would hate to get his blood all over his new friends towels, especially when they are so soft.

Zev grabbed the towel he was given to dry himself off and swung it over his shoulders, so his still wet hair wouldn't drip everywhere. Zev may not live in a home but knew about keeping one clean and tidy well enough. He followed shortly after Elaine, he watched as she placed his clothes over the couch near the fire, they would be dry in the morning for sure, which he was grateful for, even if it didn't show through his facial features.
Zev wasn't used to having hot food or drinks normally but welcomed the opportunity if it arose. Due to the work he does he normally doesn't get a chance to eat a warm meal or drink hot drinks until his assignment is finished. And depending on what he was asked to take care of; that could be several days or just over a week.
Zev could see Elaine trying to get the fire going better, he couched next to her near the fire and said "I have more experience getting fires started. Why don't you go and get that tea while I take care of this, I don't mind really." He didn't want to be a complete burden on the girl, after all it was bad enough she let him come and stay in her house for the night. Not that he wasn't at all grateful for that, he was actually pleased someone so young could decide things like that on her own.
(sorry for the delay I was caught up in somethings and got a little busy but all is good now)
