Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dai failed to notice his shaking, so he nodded and fled to the livingroom to check what was on TV. He normally didn't watch it for he didn't own one, but even so, he couldn't find anything too great to watch, and ended up just settling on the couch.

"I'm sorry its just that back at 'Lurker's Lair' we weren't allowed to leave the house for any reason. They would give us the leftovers and sometimes we wouldn't get anything," he didn't want to talk about it but this was the first time he had anyone to talk to, "I was lucky enough to be traded because of a certain event the made me hope I would get traded," He took a pause and said, " It was late last June and it was smoldering. My friend Itsukashi was sick and I told one of the workers there that he was sick. They promised me that they would take him to a better place. Well as I looked out of the ricaty window of the slave quarters I saw it. Radevel came out of his office and he twisted Itsukashi's neck," Iramu took a pause then, "I cried for help but nothing. What's worse is some people in that cell actually think he is a good man like Talis. He was like Radevel's lap dog, I hated that place..." He stopped talking and left his words for Shinto to swallow.(I hope this is okay with Nolas and Sonata blue sweatdrop )

Walking over to where the boy was on the couch, he sat down next to him, setting the tea down on small coasters on the coffee table. Sitting down crosslegged, he picked up the remote and changed the channel to a music talk show, "How could you pick something out that boring?" he asked, picking up his tea and resting his arm along the back of the couch.

Grunting lowly, he set his tea down and looked over at the kid for a moment. Scooting over a little towards the boy, he rested his arm on the boy's side, lifting his legs so that they were over his lap, "Stop taking up all of the couch already." he murmured, his hand resting on the boy's calf as he watched the music show.

Synei looked down at the kid as he moved. His eyes softened a little as he looked down at the boy curled up with his head on his lap. His lips curled up slightly in a small puzzled smile. Reaching down for his tea, he made sure not to disturb the kid as he brought the steaming liquid to his mouth. Unsure as to why he felt so content to have the kid clutching as him, he reached down, resting his hand on top of the boy's head, his fingers sifting through the soft hair and then stopping, just resting on the boy's head. Silently, he looked away, focusing back on the program.

Blushing slightly as he felt the kid nuzzle his thigh, he looked down at the kid, running his nails gently against the boy's scalp in a little massage. The boy was like some kind of kitten or something, he thought suddenly. Setting his cup down, he rested his now free arm across the boy's waist, his heart pounding. He hoped he wasn't making the boy uncomfortable. Wincing slightly, he thought about how the kid probably thought of him as just an older brother or a father figure, he couldn't go and act like this. Biting his bottom lip, he pulled his arm away again, resting it on the back of the couch. Sighing, he shook his head. Why had he even thought that the kid might be interested in him that way, he was an old bitter man, what would someone like Dai-chan want with him? Not love, that's for sure. His eyes wandered back to the TV even though he wasn't really paying attention. Synei couldn't go falling for anyone, let alone Dai, because nobody would ever feel that way back about him, he thought to himself again, the warm feeling in his chest sinking.

[Long, sorry. >>;]

Shinto blinked and couldn't stop staring at the boy. All the things he had been through were terrible and should never be experianced by anyone. "Imaru..." he whispered and pulled the boy closer to him, hugging him and hoping to calm the crying boy down. "Don't worry. Lady B and I will do everything to protect you. There's nothing to fear now."

(Everything's good, ichinosai. ^^ Way to stress Rad's... ruthlessness. XD)
