Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, the fact that she didn't understand was quite evident. She was in a panic now thinking she had done something wrong, and he was in a panic because he did something wrong. This was on him, and somehow he had to fix it.

"Yes. Yes, it is us and not him. Which is very important. But when Tristen did that with Sunny, your father was really quite angry. And I rather enjoy his company." When it came down to it, Raken knew he could hold his own if Kurt genuinely tried to attack him. But the resulting fallout of a lifelong friendship was something he'd like to avoid. "And, it is the right thing to do. I believe he could come to terms with the idea, but I have to talk to him first."

The demons hand slipped from her shoulder to her face, brushing away some of that hair that had created a shroud. "And while yes, being with me is relatively safe, leaving my side could prove dangerous. It wouldn't be safe for you to travel outside the City without protection. And you would have to be careful who you talked to about what. No mentioning to any pae you don't know very well that you know about me, or any connection to me. There are pae who will capture my family to get to me." It wasn't like he wanted to scare her. This was precisely what he wanted to avoid. However Menolly wanted to be near him, for what ever reason he couldn't fathom. If that was what she wanted, she had to know what came with it.

Not calling him dad? He blinked at the two completely different things. "While I'm certain that was a point of aggravation, Kurt nearly disowned Sunny because she wanted to be with Tristen. Which is why we must do this right." Though it seemed to pain the angel, there wasn't much he could do. Telling Kurt was a necessity, it had to happen.

At mention of making a letter, he nodded thoughtfully. "We can give the letter a try. If we don't hear back, I'll send out scout's to find him." His shadow birds were quite effective at finding what he wanted and delivering messages.

The next part about imminent danger and potential of capture or death seemed to be glossed right over. She perked right up at the mere thought of staying close to him. The demon sighed. If that's what she truly wanted, she was a grown adult and could make her own decisions. "Then you can stay close to me. However, I am going to teach you how to fight. At first light tomorrow we'll start in the park."

He nodded when she agreed to the letter. "Tell him we should meet up. This is something which needs to be done face to face."

The demon started to feel a bit of relief. They were going to tell Kurt, and she was going to learn how to fight. The two most pressing concerns.

Of course there was also the feeling of him doing this. Again. Last time he had a relationship with a female it ended badly, with his heart in shreds. But they couldn't go backwards, only forwards. He was not the kind of pae to lay with someone then cast her out the next day. We'll take this one day at a time. Love is far away. Who knows, they may end up not being compatible. But if she was willing to put her life on the line simply to be near him, he would not push her away.

Raken softly cupped her chin to bring her face forward, giving her the barest whispers of a kiss on her lips. "I appreciate your flexibility with this."

That was a good idea. Soften the old man up with food. He nodded in agreement. "We have a plan then. We'll send a shadow bird with the letter to his ranch, get a reply back in days. Hopefully all will go well."

For right now though, his head was pounding. He was still quite hungover from last night, and all he wanted to do then was curl up and sleep. So after her return peck, he settled back down into the sheets, pulling her down with him from her propped up position.

What difference would it make if he kicked her out now? For a bit longer, they could stay together in the bed. At least until he was willing to drag himself out.
