*Even though Kalie had cried out just before loosing a connection with the world around her, she most certainly didn't look to be in pain as she awoke. The smirk ever present on her lips hinting at several more enjoyable feelings as it broke into a smile. Opening her eyes, the smile wouldn't fade for some time, a part of Kalie still felt the sweet touch of his lips on hers.*
*Glancing around, the presence of both Vince and Darz initially caught her eyes. Rising from the bed, she wanted to leave them with a hint, but even that might take a considerable amount time. Heading a little ways away from Torment, Kalie paused to look at both. They would have to trust both her and Torment, she couldn't explain just yet.* "I have to go.. but he should be okay. Our home is yours, I'll try to be back soon."
*And with that, she was dashing from the room and down the stairs still smiling brightly.*

*Charging down the hall, Kalie came to the transporter in no time. His words still fresh in her head, she didn't try to alter any orders already placed on the device. Rather she hesitated at first, she was stepping onto a force with the ability to take here somewhere. Somewhere Tor had already picked, but Kalie wasn't aware of where that place was yet. Taking a deep breath, she gave in and walked on leaving her life literally in his and the transporter's hands.*

As she stepped into the Circle light leapt up around her, the faint aura of Tor visible just behind her as he wrapped his arms around her. With a second brilliant flash they wwere both gone, a lingering aura hanging in the air from Tor.
~~Gifts yet Ungiven~~

Vince shrugged, closing his eyes and finally submitting to sleep, after several days of lack thereof. He would sleep for a bit, though he wasn't so deep as to be undisterbable. If someone touched the bed, he would jolt awake in a second's notice.

Appearing within a shower of light, Kalie fell back on the alcove's supporting wall. Breathless she ran a fingertip over her bottom lip, the kiss' heat disappearing all together as her hand dropped back to her side.
Stepping off the transportation circle she turned her head to watch the trident spin and clatter to a stop on the ground before her. Crouching down, Kalie approached it warily, a little unsure at first as her hand moved to scoop it up. The medium of the staff not recognizable at first, she turned over in her hand fingering it lightly while walking towards the stairs.

Running up the stairs, she jumped several at a time, the lights above playing a game of hide and seek with diamonds on her wedding band. Hurrying down the hall the trident twirled in Kalie's hands. From the floor below the steady falling of her footsteps could be herd above, till they softened becoming almost non existent near Vince's bedroom.

The mattress would dip and shift as Kalie laid the trident near the bottom of the bed, and then sink again when she sat down beside Torment. Her hand lovingly flowing down his cheek, while she checked both the clear bag and it's IV. Finding both as they should be, she gently edged the sheets down, her fingertips straying across the bandages. Their gauzy make up loosening and moving gradually as Kalie removed them. As the pile of discarded cloth wrappings grew beside her, she scanned his injuries for anything new or possibly overlooked.

IV stood at the door, leaning against the doorframe, arms folded. He was looking down, as if studying the lower portion of the doorframe just across from him. His clothes are tattered and burned, mostly ripped to pieces by the needles he had used to hang himself to the underside of the Palace high above. His body may be cvered in puncture wounds, but blood no longer seeps out from them, none left in his body for him to bleed. He lets out a ghastly sigh that sounds like a thousand needles plucking at the soul, slowly fading into speech, "Is he going to be ok?"
As for Torment, he did seem better. The burns were still clearly evident, but nowhere near as serious. Most looked as if they were lesser burns than that he had received. As for his soul, it was locked within the trident at the moment, weakened by his exersion, but content none the less.

Casting her gaze away from her sleeping husband, Kalie's breath caught as a shiver descended her lower back. Needles striking her mind from his voice alone before she would speak.
"I can only hope."
The burns, even if lessened coming into view as she turned back to Torment. Laying a hand against his chest she pressed lightly, hoping he would stir. The nagging in the recesses of her mind saying otherwise, as her hand left Tor's abdomen to fish up a new set of bandages and relief for the burns from under the bed.
"Peaceful as ever outside?"
Kalie's eyes would never leave the still man before her, though the question had been directed at the one who stood within the door and nothing close to what he had been before. Her hands busy with smearing a cool mixture over the flaws marking Torment's body, then switching over to take up the long sections of cloth. The wraps remaining thin enough to allow his injuries to breath.

IV seemed to crack his knuckles as a tablet formed from needles pulled out from the back of his hand. They were notes on local activities. He read them over out loud, mumbling over parts, "Yadda yadda Titans, yadda yadda repairs, yadda yadda barbequed me, yadda yadda troop movements, yadda yadda Palace prepared to fly again, had italians for dinner, yadda yadda sex, and the next morning I was really tired." One may think he yadda yadda'd over the most interesting parts, but in fact, he did mention dinner. He nodded, "Yeah, pretty much, might not want to go near where I was hanging, I think it's now classified as a toxic waste hazard area."
((Sorry, was watching Seinfeld >.< you can ignore that if ya want, but whatevah.))

All at once Kalie's brows shot up, a minor chuckle escaping right along with the amused expression. Her hands now lazily stretched over her consort. Torment's wrappings replaced and secure against the healing burns.
"Oh."
Lifting herself from the bed, the trident lifted and moved beside Torment. Kalie's hand placing it within his own. She wasn't sure why, but the almost royal staff had looked out of place cast aside.. it seemed to belong next to him.
"Sleep well love.."

IV seemed to slump down slightly, pressing his feet against the opposite side of the doorframe. He wedged himself between the two and scooted up, his arm pointing straight down. He glanced to Kalie for a moment before staring at the doorframe once more, his face begining to contort. His right arm convulsed and began straight, unnaturally so as the palm ripped open and a long shard of bone pulled itself out, a long needle that fell to the floor, looking to be completely sterile. He slipped to the floor, quickly standing up, bone shard needle in hand. He shook his head clear, glancing over to Torment, "Its taking so long...heh...at least the b*****d is getting rest for once."

Kalie shuddered at the needle's arrival, her eyes looking anywhere but at IV. Walking around the bed, she could feel her fingers drag over the covers. The soft cotton slipping between her digits as she sat down on the opposite side of the bed.
"He could definitely use the rest, no matter how much I might miss him."
Reaching down for Torment's hand, Kalie light squeezed it then released her grasp. Their joined grip resting on the bed.

IV came up behind Kalie, the rather large bone shard needle slung over one shoulder, the other extending down to rest a hand on her shoulder, "He'll be ok. For how much I criticize the b*****d, he's more resilient than anything I know." He turned away, but paused, "If theres anything I can do, just let me know. I'll be close enough to hear anything above a whisper. Which with my hearing means I'll be around the Razor Fields, somewhere."

Kalie nodded, her hand idly stroking across Tor's vacant one. Her attention never straying, no matter how slim the the chance of the little pyro mage waking.
"I'll let you know, if there is anything..."
