Welcome to Gaia! ::

Suddenly Athaele would find Truinthil in front of her as she tried to walk away. The telepathic link was gone and whether it was him that had been in the tree with her or not, he was definately there now. The look in his eyes was one of burning rage, hatred, and evil. Everything that he had once been, burning withing his eyes as if reborn within him despite the spell he had fallen victim to. He would grab her hands very roughly then and push Athaele back to the tree trunk hard enough to make it hurt her a bit. He opened his mouth and bared rather large fangs at her, starting to go for her neck. However, he stopped and placed his mouth by her ear. "You couldnt be more wrong." That was all he said as his hands loosened their grip and the energy flowing from him became more calm.

D: "I would want to know if you were back. But would you just waltz back into my life and say, 'Here I am!', Phia?" He sighed again and met her look and even brought his hands up to cup her face. "I know that keeping that secret hurt you, but you know I can't break promises once I make them."

Aethi: She could sense that Ari was loosing her self-control and grinned. "Hmm. You do make a good point. Then lets keep it to ourselves for now, eh? But still, you seem to have gotten much more agressive and I am still waiting to see if you have the guts to show me what you wish to do." She grinned and lightly began moving her hands back down, her nails ever so slightly pulling against Ari's skin.

T: This time Truinthil would say nothing as he appeared in front of her. Instead she would find herself wrapped tightly in his arms and his lips against hers before she would even be able to think. No. He was not playing around. He enjoyed teasing and playing, but ultimately, he wasnt playing games.

Aethi: "Well if you do, quit talking and stalling and show me!" She grinned and dug her nails in harder and she brought her hands quickly back up almost to Ari's shoulders.

D: He laughed and kissed her lips lightly. "Now that, my love, is one of a few promises I could never keep or even make." He smiled lightly and made a move to bring her into a hug. Whether she would accept or not he wasnt sure.

Aethi: Blinking, Aethi giggled. "You have gotten more courageous. But, how do you think I got under your bodice so easily? I've been tricking your mind into thinking you were still clothed for some time now." She pointed to a pile of clothing several feet from where her own were. "I think we're both stalling."

T: "I am no longer able to sum up enough cruelty to play such games. Not that I would have in the first place. You are too paranoid. There may be some in this world that wish your death, but I am not one to wish so." He lifted her chin with his hand and smiled. "Care to come inside?"

D: Draeken held onto Phia tightly while she cried against him and when she began to calm down, he still held her. There was really nothing he could say now so instead he just let her work out her emotion and calm down. Closing his eye he kissed the top of her head lightly.

T: Nodding and smiling, he stepped into the shadows and took Athaele and himself to the bedroom he had been given at the mansion. Once there he would sit in a large chair and spread his hands wide. "Welcome to my new home. I'm growing quite used to it."

D: Draeken smiled and pressed his index and middle fingers of his right hand to her lip, healing it quickly and painlessly. "I could never leave you. The thought of doing such a thing is enough to scare me more than any evil." When she put his hand on her belly he smiled wider. "Growing quickly, eh? Once old enough, I'm sure Ari will teach this new child to be quite the trouble maker." He laughed at the joke, knowing it was very likely.

T: Truinthil laughed and shook his head slightly at the question. "It's certainly difficult and strange, but...I don' know. I just live. They know now that I am pretty much harmless to them anymore. As for the fortress...My clone is still residing there. It's dangerous. Likely he would kill me if he ever decided to."

D: "I have thought about it, and I still don't know. You know I'm no good at thinking up stuff like this. I'll certainly give it much more thought, however." He smiled and kissed her forehead gently.

T: "Why care about those two? They will not know you are here. I can sheild your presense from them if I so wish." He grinned and put an arm around her waist. "And besides, I'm sure you will find it hard to put down an offer to sleep in a warm and comfortable bed."

D: Chuckling to himself and shaking his head again Draeken shrugged. "I'll try, love. It may take me a bit of time to come up with a suitable name, however. Like I said, I'm no good at these things."

D: Draeken wrapped his arms around her and nodded his answer to her suggestion. He would think and sleep upon it while thinking on it. With hardly a sound, he moved into the shadows with her and was soon holding her in their room instead of the library. "A bit tired I take it?" He was soon already wearing sleeping attire and laying atop the bed, yawning a bit himself. It had been quite a while since he had last slept properly. "G'night love."

T: Grinning and kissing her back, Truinthil brought them both to the bed in his room without actually moving. Instead he used a subtle form of teleportation that brought them both about three feet above the bed, dropping them there. He laughed a bit and wrapped his arms around Athaele again.
