"The rush is," Edith explained, sitting on his lap, gently stroking his left thigh, "that William looked very worried. There's not much in this world that can make his face look like that, believe me, if he's worried, it's not something to be taken lightly. I know she's strong, but from what I've gathered, she's alone and lets not forget how close her due date is getting. I know Lydia's a very strong individual, capable of many things, but that does not stop me from worrying about her. Yeah, I haven't really gotten the time to get to know her. We've never really been together longer than a night. Everything seems to happen when I try to talk to her too.
When I first came here, Will was in her room getting her journal for some reason and she had left Haven... Ugh. That was the last time Mauser had struck. Such total chaos... there was a riot in Haven between our two co-leaders and Will would not let me come into Haven because he was afraid that someone would take me hostage... Anyhow, I know that I don't really have a right to judge her since I really have not seen her perform, but that does not stop me from worrying." Another long explanation.

Tokeru smiled, and placed a finger on her lips. "It's fine, i understand. Don't need to hear the 2 hour long speech explaining what happened. Well, if you're so worried, then we might as well start checking out some places. We can head to mauser's old base if you want, maybe she went there for some reason, maybe we can check demonic ties and the vampire club also, somebody in there might have seen something, you never know. Either way, i'll follow your lead this time, so you make the decisions, i'll follow along. She's your sister in law."

Edith really didn't know what to do, she was kind of thinking, overthinking too much at the moment. Her brain was overloading a simple task of choosing which location to visit first-off. "I think," she said after taking quite a bit of time to delegate, "that we should check out Mauser's old base that we blew up how many months ago. She might have visited it after watching the video because she was upset and returned to the scene, or site where it happened."

Reno waited for an answer for a while but knew what there answer was already.He knew Tokeru wouldnt let him in. And he knew Eden would never argue with him.Reno picked up his phone again and left one last message for Eden."Ya know Eden...........I wanted to see you one last time. But apparently thats asking too much. I hope your happy with your man. And I hope your happy at the soul you crushed." Reno clicked his phone off after that and threw it to the ground. It was over. Everything had just been crushed.His heart,his will to live. Everything.He dug into his pocket and oulled out his last cig. He lit it up and took a few puffs before leaving the front of the Stalker house not really knowing where he would go from there.
((Exit to ???))

Edith wanted to be mad at Reno for being so unsympathetic about her decision, about how he was trying to make her feel guilty. Yet she knew she couldn't, he had every right and she did not think that she could get mad at Reno for that. He did succeed in making her feel guilty and she immediately phoned him back, completely forgetting that Tokeru was right there listening to Reno's message. When she heard his voice mail pick up she was not alarmed at first, until she remembered his words from his message.
Now she was scared, and when she spoke into the phone it was with pure terror and panic. "Reno! Reno, pick up! RENO! Don't you ******** dare do anything to hurt yourself! Of course I'm going to see you again, and it won't be the last time! Just because we aren't .... together .... does not mean that we can't hang out or s**t. Asking to spend time with me will never be asking too much of me ... Answer the damned phone Reno! NOW! I need to talk to you! I'm not happy at what I've done to you, I never meant to .... I didn't want to hurt you. Please pick up the phone Reno. Let's talk, you and me, one on one ... Pick up ... stop being a ******** ..."
By the end of the message she was sobbing and had slid down onto her knees. She was such a terrible person. She loved Reno, she did not want anything to happen to him, she was scared for him. This was all her fault and she had never predicted just how hard a fall Reno would take when she told him that she was unsure of her feelings for him or when she was not ready for marriage. Would Tokeru have done the same? Would he suffer openly or would he suffer inwardly as he had all the years of his life. Would he be trying to kill Reno, say that it was all Reno's fault as well?
"I'm," she said through her sobs, "a ******** b***h. I hate myself. I'm sorry Tokeru. I'm sorry about everything. I didn't think Reno would be so upset, I didn't think that he'd take this hard a fall. I didn't realize that he loved me enough to ... marry me ..."

Back in the weight room, like always, attempting to forget his stupidity. Typical Simon Pennycook. Always trying to forget and never remembering why he became a hunter in the first place. Protect humans from the ******** night walkers so that they can never experience the hardship Simon had. He had been on the leg press for what seemed like hours, it was actually hours since he departed from the room when Tokeru nagged on him, and he was sweating like the damn dog he was. He took casual sips of water every so often, after doing twenty repititions more like it, knowing damn well that after this he was going to get hammered after this.
Mistakes. Poor judgement that can get others killed. What was this crap Tokeru was trying to feed him? Although true, it still irked him, reminding him of his own problems pissed him off. Plus, Tokeru knew enough about him, if he didn't was a failiure he shouldn't have hired him. Simon, Shadowstalker material, my a**. Totally doubting your own skills was cool. This place was for supernatural ******** like Tokeru and Kaji. Simon is a human that drinks alot. "s**t," Simon whispered as he began to give. He couldn't do anymore.
After around his I don't know how much repitition, Simon stopped almost immeadiatly, took a deep breath, then fainted. Simon saved people, but who was going to save him.
Rescue me.

((Simon, what's that last line supposed to mean?))
Tokeru pulled her close to him, and hugged her. "Edith, my beautiful vampiress. This wasn't your fault. It wasn't his either. You followed your heart, and there is nothing wrong with that. Reno will recover, he will move on. It's just going to take him some time, believe me, he will be fine."
Tokeru let her cry on his shoulder, and he held her closely. "If it will make you feel better, we can go look for him. We can go look for Reno and talk to him."

Vampiress, that had been the first time he'd addressed her as so. When Tokeru said it she was not bothered by it, but when others had said it there was something about it that freaked her out. "I know. I just ... It's killing me to see him like this. Killing me to see him like this knowing that I was the one who caused his misery, that I was the one who broke him. I just want to let him know that I'm still there for him, that he's not alone and that just because I'm not in love with him does not mean that we should not talk anymore."
Having Tokeru surround her with his strength, with his love, it did wonders to comfort her. "Yeah," she said, sniffling slightly and wiping away some tears, hating when people saw her cry, "I think that would be a good idea. I think he needs someone to talk to right now and even if I'm probably not the right person, I'm going to let him know that I'm still there for him. I think he really needs to know that right now."

Tokeru smiled, and brushed away some tears from her cheeks.
"Well then, we were heading to the high rise district anyway, why don't we start our search there? You never know, he might have decided to move there and try to find Mauser. Or he might have tried to find Will, we're never gonna know if we don't look."
Tokeru kissed her lightly. "Now, do you need to be carried? or can you walk. Because either way, i'm fine with it, though i think it would be fun to carry you potato sack style"

In an appreciative way, she nodded to Tokeru as he brushed the tears from her face. "Thanks," she whispered, her cheek resting on his shoulder, her hand balling up in a fist, gripping Tokeru's shirt where it was not covered by the golden breastplate a little too hard. "I needed that. Maybe next time you should slap me." She chuckled mildly at her comment and backed away from him.
"Sounds," she said with her deep unfeminine voice, "like a plan to me. I was wanting to look around there, hopefully we can kill three birds with one stone and find Reno, William, and Lydia. If only this were that easy and simple. I'm not even sure if Reno knows about Mauser, I'd assume that Will would alert his hunters, but you never know."
Edith's spirits lifted a little higher with the kiss and she gave him a look, nothing more, to show her appreciation. "I don't need," she said with a snicker, "to be carried, I can walk. You can carry me if you want to, I ain't stopping you.

Tokeru smiled. "Leaving it up to me huh? Well you know what I would choose."
Tokeru grinned, "But it wouldn't be appropriate at this moment, what with you being all vulnerable and all. I wouldn't want it said that I took advantage of you."
Smiling evilly, he stood up and grabbed his scythe, thanking the waitress for the meal.

Edith chuckled, tears still in her eyes, but she was smiling now. She socked him in the arm, not too hard, but hard enough to leave a mark. "Maybe that's why I let you choose... You aren't able to take advantage of me unless I let you you dope. And I say that you can't take advantage of me unless I say it's okay." She stuck her tongue out at him after that.

Tokeru chuckled. "I can see i'm never gonna win an argument now, why do I even try."
Without another word, he decided to sweep Edith off her feet, and he slung her over his shoulder, weapons poking into his shoulder, where it wasn't covered by the breastplate.
"Sweetie, your knives are jabbing into my flesh"

"I was," she said, trying to recollect from three years ago, "going to join my school's debate team, but I dropped out of high school before the first semester even finished. If I did not do what I did now I'd be so ******** screwed. Then again, if vampires, lycans, and the tainted did not exist Will never would have left which means I wouldn't have either. I just noticed what a chain reaction that was."
Edith was prepared for him to swing her over his shoulder. She just hoped that he didn't get any brilliant ideas with the half of her that she could not see or defend well. "I'm on it, Angel." she called back to him in a sarcastic sing-song voice. Without any hands, she lifted herself, relying on purely her abs to get her up. She was now laying straight across Tokeru's shoulder as opposed to being slung over it, holding herself up.
She then found the source of Tokeru's discomfort and chuckled. "Those ain't knives, they're my kick-a** magnums that are ******** awesome. Sharp, ain't they? Gotta be careful with em, I like em sharp in case someone gets the brilliant idea of getting grabby. I like to kid-proof my things and make em hands off unless I say so." She smiled, as she talked her abs moved with her voice as she formed her words.

Tokeru laughed as he walked, bouncing Edith with every step. "Whatever they are, they are pokey. And pokey hurts me, not alot, but it does hurts me."
He grabbed onto Edith's leg to shift her weight more evenly, poking himself even harder in the shoulder in the process.
"Alright, maybe next time you warn me when you have stabby guns."
