Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I think it looks good on you Rose." Said Sajuuk. Rose was defiantly showing her Lahmian side now more than anything else. It was interesting to see but also caused a certain amount of caution to rise up within Sajuuk. These things always made him tread carefully, being reminded of home so much did that to him. He had noticed Rose fiddling with her collar, wonder why such a thing would be around the neck of someone. Was she trying to signify her slavery to someone, servitude perhaps? It made no sense to him so he pushed it aside for now. Cecilia held back her laughter, this was just too good for her right now and the air was turning a little awkward.

When Uriel made it in front of a mirror her smile widened a little more and she done a little twirl there. She actually felt good for once and looked good. "My my, look at the little angel. All pretty now like before." She let her wings out for a moment, to get a better look. It was different for sure. "Where we go now?" She turned and looked to Selena, for some sort of confirmation on a destination and her looks.

Sajuuk's reaction was probably not what was expected right now, all that came into his mind was this is neither the time nor the place for such things right now. "Why don't we all just head to the hall now and get the party going?" Said Sajuuk. He would not go into such things with other around right now. He moved in closer to Rose "We will talk about this later Rose." he said, gently patting her hip after he said that.

Uriel really had no idea what to do now, she had gained some approval right now but was not used to the party setting, not without Azreal being right by her side so this was new, she might even be able to express herself a little bit but given her mind not being whole right now would make things difficult to understand for both sides. She walked along side Selena and once in the hall Uriel did sort of wander around but always kept fairly close to the wall.

The group entered, Sajuuk taking a deep breath and letting out a short sigh. Time to do what was expected and mingle if any wanted to. "I'll be over there." Said Sajuuk as he walked deeper into the room, doing his rounds. One round would be enough, if anyone stopped him to talk he would but if not then he would go about other things that needed to be addressed. Especially with Rose. Cecilia noticed Uriel once more, her heart sunk a little as she turned away for a moment. Now really was not the best place for a reunion. Defiantly not the best place. Uriel looked to Selena and smiled, "Fun, fun fun, so many minds, so many voices..... Mummy?" Said Uriel, glancing over Selena's shoulder seeing the woman in the dress next to Rose. She looked like it but it was hard to tell, Uriel's broken mind had a nasty habit of playing such tricks on her.

"No, I can't and my secret is just as bad as yours in a way. I did what I had to do and I feel terrible because of it." Said Cecilia. She would have to face this sometime now that Shadow was not around to hide within any more and with this would come Azreal and the others to drag her back. "Go and enjoy yourself." Said Cecilia, no point in her dragging down Rose's day.

Sajuuk turned to Rose, "Later yes but not exactly the best time. I will make this quick though. I do see hat you are doing and what you have been trying to do. Right now I need to ask you to just give me time to figure everything out. I am having to deal with a great many things right now. So please just be patient while I sort everything out." Said Sajuuk. There is much he would gladly do but he needed to know for himself what reasons he would be doing them for, was it for himself because it was truly what he wanted or was it just because he could and because he was free of his old restrictions. it would be unfair on Rose if he was to just go through with everything, only to turn around and realise it is not what he really wanted, these things could hurt people, cause great divides between people and he was not willing to let that happen just yet. Sajuuk admired many aspects of his father but his indecisiveness was not one of those things. He needed time to think about all of this rationally and not just give into base urges, he was better than that and if he was not he would have already done many, many things during the many times he had been alone with Rose and he was surprised that she had not managed to pick up on that since she picked up on everything else that went on in his head.

Uriel nodded, "yes... no... yes... maybe? Looks like Mummy but mummy gone.... head makes me see mummy where she is not. I'm scared." Said Uriel. She really had no idea what to make of this. She so desperately wanted it to be Cecilia, her mother but she had seen things so many times that it would hurt if it was not. "Help me, please?" Ask Uriel, looking to Selena for some kind of guidance. She had not been alone in this sort of situation before without Azreal.

Sajuuk was more than glad to hear that Rose understood and was willing to be patient. He could now relax a little bit more now. "I will not use the bond Rose. While you are willing to use it so casually I am not. the bond is still a very sacred thing to me, part of our culture and to have it done in such a way is not right to me. When I decide to mutual be bound to you then I will use it, not before." Said Sajuuk, a simple explanation to the bond problem. He could use it if he wanted to but it was not right. You are only supposed to be bound to those you wish to spend that eternity with as a single entity. "Sure, we can dance" Said Sajuuk after taking a great deal of time to resist the urge he gained by her being so close. He did though give her a tight hug while she was close that looked normal form the outside but did place a small kiss on her cheek while there. A thank you for being patient.

Uriel took Selena's hand. her nerves were now shot, no idea how to handle this situation at all. Cecilia still had her back turned to them. "Thank you." She paused for a moment, building up the courage to walk over there. It was defiantly not easy. Uriel was a very very old being with the mind of a child flowing out of that fracture brain of hers. What happened to cause it no one knows, it was so well protected, so well hidden behind so many layers of pain and perhaps this was the first step in healing what had happened.

"While you may be telepathic I can actually ward off mental intrusions. It is part of my training so I am not easily read unless I want to be. While you were brought up in the clan school you have not truly lived our culture yet. You passed through it, like studying in another country for a little while." Said Sajuuk while they moved out to dance. "It might very well be mutual one day but it should have been mutual form the beginning not before. You cannot just end these bonds at a whim after all." Said Sajuuk. he let out a small sigh, "I was rather hoping that you did not dress this way for me. Would have made things so much easier if your attention was on another, would have given me time to find things out for myself at my own pace. Well, either way things will get interesting for the two of us." Said Sajuuk.

Uriel walked over with Selena, her nerves getting worse as they got closer, her heart stopping as Selena asked the question. Cecilia could not turn around at first. How could she just turn and face her now after being absent for so long. In the end she did, "Yes, yes she is. Hello Uriel... I am sorry for... everything." Said Cecilia. This was going to get difficult. her fear of being dragged back with everything that happened was now building up more so.

"Perhaps I will show you how it goes, one day if everything turn out all right in the end." Said Sajuuk, trying his own hand at being a tease for once. He to would wait for the day when he everything figured it all out. "I know you were just trying to get my attention. I am not as dense as you might think. I come across as it but that is only because I am ignoring what I see half the time. There will be those out there that will understand you. I just think you, like myself, do not give anyone the chance to understand but who knows with these things, feelings. Everything is strange to me so I just have to figure it all out as I go along." Said Sajuuk. he really would have rather had this sort of conversation with someone who had no bias on the situation. Just to clear his head of everything was going to be difficult in the end. "I have never really enjoyed life until now. Though Love is still something I know little of."

Uriel looked to Selena, "I did lose her, lost her long long ago when the worlds were young I did. hidden away in the Shadow vampire she was. Left me alone, off with the vampire she was she was. Why?" Said Uriel, her mind not making too much sense as she tried to communicate her side, her memories. Cecilia let out a sigh, "It is horribly complicated Selena. You ex-husband knows the story as well as I do actually. he has been helping me with some... thing here and there. Protecting me from some things, helping me stay free from others." Said Cecilia, not really wanting to go into too much detail unless Selena really wanted to hear it.
