Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ruby's eyes widened as she realized what she'd said. "Arch ...I..."

As if deflecting the change in emotion, another surge of anger pulsed through her. Ruby's fist tightened, the sharp edges of the carved horn biting into her skin, enough to draw blood, which seeped between her fingers like little ruby raindrops. As it touched blood the black horn pulsed again, wether by memory of violence, or by connection to Ruby's power, the emotion raised three fold. "I think you're lying about why you left. If anything you wanted me to die. Boff people you said," Ruby laughed harshly, "funny how that's the thing that would lead to my death closer than anything else. 'sorry hon, love ya, have to run because I'm afraid you'll die, but have fun while I'm gone and be sure to play russian roulette.'" By this time her fist was nearly covered with dark blood. "wasn't I going to get to be a statue, a painting, a damned picture? but you didn't want anything of me, did you darlin. Nothin' to lock up in your big old house and forget, like all the rest." She reached for his shades with her ubloodied hand. "Did you leave them to die on their own too?"

"And what line is that Arch? Your little secrets? Those things you'd never share with anyone." She pulled at her detained wrist, then gave up and left it. "Is it Ashley?"

( eek *waits for smacking*)

Ruby glanced at her hand, "Blood it looks like." The anger surged again, as if the charm was almost afraid of losing it's carrier.

It wasn't easy to pry into, especially when Ruby started struggling, but the dark charm fell out of her palm into Arch's, attempting to surge its power into the angel.

Ruby felt the peace roll over her, any remaining part of the anger and sorrow flowing away with it. She turned around and embraced Arch, not having words that would make an appropriate apology, but feeling too much at peace to cry over it.
