Welcome to Gaia! ::

"True, I'm sure Akria can handle that task no problem, considering she managed to stick to the guidelines I gave her for getting Jezabelle. Unlike her older brothers Lennox and Motasa who are probably still looking for her. Its going to be poetic justice that she finally has something to get back at them for all their tormenting they did to her. I almost want to see the look on their faces when they show up at my house and find out she had given them the slip hours ago." Toole smiled; "Sibling rivalry, tell me you and akuma didn't have that problem, because you seemed to get along just well whenever I was around."

Toole smiled; "I told you its a surprise, but we are close now. it shouldn't be that much longer now." Toole noticed the path fading out and the flowers and grasses taking over as the grove the trees approached. A small brook was beginning to run slightly parallel with the now non existent path. Toole stepped down the ancient stairs now overgrown with moss and vine, and at the center of the trees was a small circular pool in which the brook from earlier cascaded in to over mossy rocks. There was no outlet for the pool yet it seemed to never overflow. Beside the pool was a few stone benches and outside of this stone circle was berry bushes in that were blooming again.

"I remember this place from a picture mother showed me once. She used to come here often before she met my father. It brought her peace, and she forgot about the rest of the world outside of these trees. Nobody knows who built it, but the coy fish in pool are large and probably generations old from the originals." Toole sat down on the soft moss on the benches. "I thought perhaps it was my turn to use this place for the purpose mother used it for."

"In some degree I feel responsible, i said some horrible things to her, and I do miss her. I miss her allot because I never got the chance to say i was sorry. Tears dripped onto pants; "Even if by chance she was the subject of someones cruelty, they are long gone, there is no chance for vengence, and I don't have the luxury Sorrow had of wasting my life hunting someone. I have our future to think about, our children to plan for, and seeing to it they do not have happen to them what has happened to my mother."

Toole moved one arm behind her just above her waist, the other he held onto moving a bit closer, and he smiled a bit as he concentrated his efforts on what Ailes taught him. He started slow, moving a bit off to the side, but staying in a somewhat circular pattern. "Fast or slow?" Three simple words and his smile turned mysterious in nature.

"Alright, i think I can cater to that, but hold onto your bootstraps little lady its going to be a ride."

The soft slow steps he was taking stopped and with one giant step he rocketed forward taking her into a fast spin. He hadn't danced this fast since quannah dared him, but the only thing he had to keep focused on was keeping himself in the air along with Ailes. Unlike the normal end that would come when the music faded out, Toole laid her down on the moss covered cobble stones by her arms, and kneeled down straddling her and slowly lowered himself down. His breath was warm, and his breathing was still rather rapid from the dance.

He watched for a moment his head sinking down near her neck, then the devious smile came back on his face. He slid his hands underneather waist, and with a little lunge her rolled onto his back, but pulled Ailes to rest on his chest. He took a deep breath to calm his breathing as his lips neared her neck, he let the cool air he exhaled slowly tickle her neck before he kissed the very spot. He worked his way pausing before he kissed her lips. his hand brushed back through her hair, and with a contented smile he kissed her on the lips.

Toole smiled pleasantly as he looked up at the sky through the small hole in the trees. "I love you too Ailes, and thanks for cheering me up. I've carried around too much excess pain that should have been dealt with years ago."

"Well lets work on that one day at a time, and trust me when i say you'll be a critical part of that process." Toole turned on his side and ran a hand through her hair repeatedly; "So want to keep moving or do you wish to stay here for a little while longer?"
