Arioch raised a brow at the mess Joe looked before strolling for what he figured was the kitchen, peeking in at Raven before looking at his friend again.
"I knew rough sex was great but s**t this appears to be worse then what we had."

Arioch's words got a smirk and a knowing look as he opened his eyes to look at his friend.
"If only it had been rough sex... "
He sighed, sex was what was missing from the picture..well.. a decent feed anyway.
"She followed me home, then hung around whilst I passed out"
He explained, best as he could.

"You couldn't tell me that over the phone?"
He asked, withdrawing into the kitchen. He knelt beside Raven and immediately sought her sliced hand, eyeing it. It would need to be bandaged...
Raven didn't fight him. She was tired thus she just looked at him, blankly.
Arioch glanced up to her before scooping her up and standing again to carry her out.
Raven froze, stiffening. Now what was happening?
He just simply held her close as he walked frm kitchen to living room. "She'll be fine, given a chance to think things over."
She coddled her hand to her. The old blood mingled with the fresh, blending it together.

"Would you have come?"
He had kept the details as detailed as they needed to be to get what he wanted. Though, what he wanted currently wasn't what was in the best interest of Raven, or Arioch.
"Not here she won't be"
He warned.

Raven rested her head against Arioch's chest, not looking at either male.
Arioch just looked at his friend. He wasn't sure what to say.. at least nothing Raven needed to hear right now.
"Here doesn't matter..."

He raised an eyebrow at Arioch's wisdom, then picked up teh phone again, dialing a number he had memorised a long time ago.
A minute later, he hung up and with a smug look on his face, got up making his way slowly towards the staircase.
"I'm going to have a shower whilst you deal with her"
He simply announced, knowing that both guests had just heard him order his next feed.

He sat down with Raven in his lap, brushing her hair out of her face.
Raven barely registered it. "Why is this is happening?"
Arioch tipped her face to meet his gaze. "It is not your fault...Trust me in that."
She gave him a child's gaze. It had been a long time since Arioch saw such a look on her... He was reminded of when she was younger, the attack of Melnibone...
"Why? Why do I feel like I know him in other ways but I can't remember how or why..."
He shook his head. "Not now will I answer that."

He enjoyed the shower, taking his time to get rid of as much of the fight that he could. By the time he had finished and gotten dressed,all that could be seen of the fight was the bruise around his eye which would look worse in the morning and the limp he didn't bother hiding.
He briefly considered taking lessons in fighting before throwing the idea out the window. He knew how to fight, he had just been out of practice.
By the time he had returned downstairs, a knock could be heard at the door, along with a soft woman's voice.
"Hello?"
He grinned as he heard the voice, obviously looking forward to the feed, though looking over at Arioch holding Raven, something inside him spun out of control. He had not meant to hurt her, never wanted to hurt her, and yet, always managed to do that.
The moment passed as he walked past them to greet his guest.
"Come on in, dear"
The girl nodded and followed him, though slowed down when she saw the kitchen and stopped as she stood in the doorway to the living room.
"I don't think I should be here.. "
She stated as he smiled at her.
"I'm paying you to pay me attention, not them or the place"
He pointed out, moving next to her and running his hand through her hair.
"No amount of money is worth this.. I'm gonna call the cops"
She told him, moving his hand out of her hair and looking disgusted.
"Right.. phone's over there, I'm sure they'd love to hear from you"
Joe encouraged her. There was nothing the cops could do about the scene that the girl had walked into. Unless someone wanted to lay charges, they were all perfectly save from the law especially given that no law had been broken within the house itself.
"You know what? #$%^ it!"
She said, changing her mind and walking out, leaving him look after her frustrated before slamming the front door shut, realising it had been open the entire time before returning to the living room and slumping down on the lounge he had sat on before.

Arioch watched the guest come and go. Honestly people jump to conclusions too many times. He quietly rubbed raven's back. He looked up to Joe.
"You wouldn't have any bandages somewhere would you? Her hand's going to need to be clean and taken care of.. Even fresh clothes..."

"Yeah.."
Absentmindly, he got up again and got the bandages, which he remembered where they were first go this time, placing them on the coffee table near Arioch along with disinfectant and a bowl of water before wandering off to pick out some clothing for her. Rough sex was great and was the main reason he was skilled in first aid and made sure he was never low on certain things.
A few minutes later, he returned with some clothes in his hand, carefully placing them on the same coffee table before heading to the kitchen where he spent the next few minutes watching the perculator make coffee, frustrated, tired and dissapointed.

Arioch settled Raven on the couch so he could turn and face her more, his hand reaching out for the disinfectant, cloth and water. He placed the disinfectant into his lap before dipping cloth into water to bathe the arms and hand, whipin gup blood as he went. She wasn't as bad looking as Joe had been... but a shower was still going to do her some good.
Raven just sat there, staring idly at her hand as it was cleansed and bandaged. Just out of old habit, she changed right then and there into cleaner clothes. Later Joe's scent in them could haunt her....Now she was numb she wouldn't think about it so soon.
Arioch had spread his wings. If anyone got to be tortured by Raven changing, Ari was going to take that on himself.

He had walked back in with coffee in his hands only to see Arioch standing there with his wings unfolded, obviously hiding Raven behind them.
He put their cups down, then retreated to get his own, though not before mumbling.
"maybe this isn't the best place for that?"
He had called Arioch so he didn't have to deal with Raven, knowing that in a roundabout way, he was responsible for the state she was in but also aware that the fight had left him vulnerable to doing something rash.

Arioch shrugged. "Can't break old habits..."
Of course, Raven wasn't really thinking.
When she was dressed she curled back up on the couch, feeling like she was younger then what she was.
Arioch blinked and looked to her. He always thought she looked good in just about anything...

He sighed, hearing Arioch's reason. He understood that, he just questioned if it was too much to ask to not have her do that in his living room. Was it too much to ask to have some privacy to sulk? He guessed the answer currently was yes and therefore, did the mature thing of returning to the living room, settling down with his favourite cup.
"I dunno what to do"
He assured Arioch, not looking at Raven. Arioch, he knew, would tell him no if need be, Raven though.. he had the feeling he could take full advantage of her and not have her complain about it, at least, not whilst she was in the state she was in.

Arioch looked him in the eye. "Perhaps it's you needs a feeder for around here..."
he murmured it softly, sitting down and pretty much seperating Joe and Raven. At least if Joe tried anything rash, Arioch was able to take it...
