Aria, Cyen, and Alouthiani all waited casually. At ease with the nature and natural world around them. Aria and Alouthiani were humming tunes that belonged to their home cities. A few couples would walk past, men's gaze would linger too long on Alouthiani. Women's on Cyen. Sure, Aria got a few looks herself, but her mind and heart belonged only to Logan. But she couldn't be distracted. She had business to attend to.

Sighing softly, Kalore's eyes slowly opened, glancing over at Monty, "Hm?" He snuggled closer to him, holding onto one of his arms as if it was a huge pillow. The man was awake, but just barely.
Kit blinked, "Um, I've heard of those places, but I've never been. Are they pretty? What are they like?" Even though they had been told that elves weren't all as curious as Kalore, a few of them were just as curious, sometimes more so.

Joker nodded. "They are all beautiful places. It would be only more beautiful if you had good company to enjoy them but when you want peace and know where to go to seek it, then you have found a bit of heaven here on earth." He said, his eyes wistful at memories flooding his mind.
Monty smiled slightly and touched his cheek. "Nothing Kalore, sleep." He said in his soft, deep voice. Perhaps if he layed down then Kalore would be more comfortable and inclined to sleep. Nothing weird of course. So, the demon layed down holding Kalore close so that they both could at least sleep peacefully.
Gambler held Rave's hand until they reached the park where she let it go so that the other Fae didn't think that both meant something to each other. It was a thing that could be used against one another since she was getting emotional when it came to the elven male. "Come out, come out where ever you are." The boss said to the Fae that might be lurking.

Crossing his arms, Rave took on his normal, stoic personality, in a way looking more intimidating than Monty. His blue eyes were a cold color, uncaring to anything around him save for the job that was needed at the moment. Listening, the elf waited for the annoying creatures to finally come out.
Kalore nodded slowly, letting go of the demon's arm only to wrap his thin arms around his chest, nuzzling close to the heat that Monty gave off. "Night, night." Staying close to him, Kalore once again drifted off to sleep.
Kit blinked, "That sounds amazing! Are the places still around? Where are they? Well... Where were they if they're not still around... Human places come and go so often..."

Aria smiled and looked to Cyen and Alouthiani.
"We aren't hiding darling," Alouthiani purred and Aria realized what was going on. Alouthiani was cloaking them with darkness. Night like an ebony silk cloaked them. "Open your eyes and you'll see us."
"Play nice," Cyen chastized but made no other move otherwise. It was entertaining. Even Aria had to admit she got a kick out of it.

"Ah but only the more intelligent know how to maintain beautiful places. England, Scotland and Ireland are still around and so is parts of Spain and France. Itay is around but not the other European countries. A few islands are still around but not much. It's sad really since all of them had such rich histories. Perhaps one day I can tell you about them. I once met royalty while in my native England." He said with a fond smile but yawned slightly.
Monty nodded and allowed Kalore to be close to him. This was...nice and actually comfortable. Sub-consciencously as he was dozing off, his hand stroked the elf's hair softly, to keep the male calm.
Gambler sighed and shook her head. "My eyes are open, wide and clear. Perhaps it is you that should open your eyes and come out to play with me." She said and stopped where she was. It was a pretty clever thing what the Fae were doing but this wasn't the time or place to be admiring their skills in their arts.

Rave didn't react, closing his eyes for a moment. "I apologize, Gambler... But we don't have time for this..." Within seconds, the darkness was gone. The elf's shadow went out, retracting back to him only to take the fae's little trick with it. Opening his eyes, the blue was close to a silver, but it soon became the normal icy blue. "As I said, time is of some importance here."
Staying close to him, Kalore drifted back to sleep. With the touch of Monty, his words still echoing in his mind, the elf didn't seem to be having trouble with his dreams anymore. At least, not for this night.
At the yawn, Kit blinked, "Oh, are you tired?" She glanced at the clock and quickly went back behind the bar where she had to be. Pulling on the apron, Kit continued to watch the man, some concern coming onto her face. "Want me to get Monty so that you guys can go? Or is he staying the night...?"

Gambler nodded and looked at the Fae. Each one, including the familiar Aria were some of the most beautifuliest creatures around, including the Elves. Of course Gambler was beautiful in her own right since she was angel and one of the best but she only saw herself as pretty not ranked up high, which was fine with her because it was her personality that made her the best boss in the city, not just her looks.
Watching them, she silently took measure of each one and to see what sort of personalities they had and which one she had to keep the close eye on so that her back didn't get stabbed by one of them. "I think my right hand man is correct. Time is of importance so let's get to the point so that we can have time, after all of this is done to play." She said, crossing her arms looking dangerous.
Joker blinked and shook his head innocently. "I'm not tired. Someone was talking about me." Though it was if you sneezed that someone talked about you. Shaking his head again, the insane man smiled. "Monty is staying the night to make sure that Kalore really does sleep. If they were going to do something other than that then the message would have been different and you would have heard some loud noise over the music by now." He said, half joking yet half serious.

Kit rubbed her ears, thinking about that, "I don't think Kal's a screamer though... Is Monty?" She raised a brow, now curious about something that neither of them had any reason to be thinking of.
Taking in the newcomers, Rave wasn't affected by their beauty, though even he had to admit that they were stunning. The man was trained to deal with anything, and a little bit of beauty did nothing to the man. Arms still crossed, Rave looked nothing like the peaceful image that he gave off in the park. Now he looked more like a boss than Gambler, but that was simply because of the silvery blue eyes that pierced right through anyone, even those of the Fae.

Alouthiani stood up, her full lips in a luscious pout. "Oh, well that's just no fun," she said maintaining eye contact with Rave, her husky alto voice full with promises she had yet to make.
"Gambler, these are my companions, Alouthiani and Cyen," the two Fae nodded in turn. "Alouthiani, Cyen, this is Gambler and her companion..." she blanked on the name. "Ah, and where are the rest of your entourage?" Aria asked and glanced around.
Cyen smiled politely at beind introduced and Alouthiani gazed hungrily at Rave. She really had no interest in him, but she had to play her strengths. "Aria, I believe now is a good time more than ever to get to the point," Cyen said in his passive voice. "It seems as if they are in somewhat of a hurry, so perhaps we should get down to it."
Aria nodded and turned back to Gambler. "Oh yes, I don't wish to waste your time."

"This is my companion and right hand man, Rave. As for being in a hurry, wasn't it you who had some bad news for me?" She asked, looking at Aria with a raised brow. "I come hurrying to know this bad news so that I may act on it. I hope you understand." She said being politely but not liking that one named, Alouthiani. She looked like a cunning snake in a way using her great looks to get what she wanted. Boy, she's dealt with those before and they were hard to deal with if you didn't have a strong will.
"So, it's nice to meet you both. I hope that we can all come to a understanding once you've told me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear." There was a difference and the boss would know which kind it was if they weren't careful.
Joker shook his head. "I have no idea. But all the women that he used to be with said that they screamed so loud they weren't conscience of what kind he was." He said, blinking, wondering why they were talking about this.

Kit snickered, "Wow... Sounds like the guys Kal's been with." She smiled, not at all bothered with what they were talking about. "But, I guess a subject change is needed if you're feeling odd with this odd little topic."
Meeting the woman's gaze, Rave gave her his own bored look. The man was an elf, a beautiful one at that, easily matching an Fae's looks. The perfect skin, beautiful dark hair, perfect features, and a voice to die for, his eyes only topped everything off in making him the best male around. He didn't speak, just memorized the faces of the Fae, not trusting them whatsoever, especially the new woman. But they all were Fae, so no trust was something that was expected.

Joker shrugged. "I'm not weird about this conversation. I'm already weird so not alot of things shock me." Except for kissing that one chick who ended up being a two headed demon. He shuddered at the thought and smiled at Kit, loving how she was a normal elf. Normal as in, she didn't turn into a demon which was freaking awesome.

A low, seductive chuckle oozed from Alouthiani's mouth and Cyen just shook his head. "Behave yourself," he said again and she stopped and glanced over at Gambler giving her a slight nod, nothing personal.
"Yes. Bane is here. You should remember him, the previous Prince. He looks a little different but that's because he's gone to the Unseelie Court. And with his corruption and arrival here, it is the first move in the oncoming wave of Unseelie Fae. You must let us come in greater numbers," Aria said to her remorsefully. "It is all happening sooner than I thought it would, and we need to act quickly."
Alouthiani let her smoldering gaze roll back to Rave and that mischevious smile found itself back on her lips. "Yes, I have seen the Unseelie Court ways..." she flung her glamor out on Rave and felt it somewhat buffeted. He should be illusioned by it, but it told her what she needed to know. He wasn't human. "I am willing to be you've met an Unseelie Fae, even shook hands with him, but you didn't know."
Cyen nodded at that moment and the already small pupil contracted and was invisible, blinding him, but sending him into a trance. "You can not read our magic, therefore you can not read theirs. It is your biggest flaw, miss, and you have few." He said in a ghostly whisper of his voice. "If you think you can find them on your own, you will be sadly mistaken, and once you realize their here it will be far too late. Greater measures of Seelie are needed to protect this land. Or we will have to forfeit this battle, and choose another."

Rave's eyes were covered by his bangs for a moment as he too went into something similar to a trance. He remembered the man whom he had used the shadow trace on, figuring that that was who the woman was speaking of. Opening his eyes, Rave found that he was right. Silver eyes going back to normal icy blue, Rave waited for Gambler's reply, already making plans in his mind, but staying silent. There was no need for him to speak as long as the boss was there.
Kit grinned and nodded, leaning back on her arms as she looked at the man. "That's cool to hear. And, once someone gets talking to you, you're not that weird. I've seen odder." Another smile and Kit moved to kiss his cheek. "Need anything else, Joker?"
