Welcome to Gaia! ::

Princess Eva was ready to go. Seriously. She sat in front of the door, tails curled around her and laying over her paws, and she yipped. And yipped. And yipped. Finally her boil acknowledged her efforts and got up and off they went, her in the lead, him following faithfully after her. She bounded across the school grounds, speedily making her way to the crown princess' room. As soon as Yin opened the door she jumped on the bed to pay her respects.

Yin was a bit slower following her into the room, eyes immediately going to the fire demoness. But as he closed the door and turned again he noticed a...rather oddly shaped and somewhat disgusting looking pile of blankets. Then he saw a bit of material not blankets...jean? A small expanse of luxurious flesh. Someone else was with him. "Greetings?" Confused Yin was confused.

"Watch your language around Miss Danny or I shall have to punish you," came the automated response. Then again, now that he could see a bit more of the boil...well, punishment normally got through to Rikki. Still, whatever had happened between them, the hot and bothered reaper was here watching over Miss Danny, and that was something that he deserved to be rewarded for.

Rewarded in the sense that Yin was going to be gentle, a softer tone creeping into his voice now that he had gotten a good look at him. "It has been a while Rikki." He nodded toward Miss Danny, "how is she?" Pale green eyes regarded the boil in front of him. Actually, Rikki did not look so good. How long had he been here? "Are you okay?"

Yin frowned at the news. Such horrible words should never need to drip from the reaper's smooth lips, his skillful tongue should never be force to utter that awful truth. But he was not exactly surprised. The ghoul had not even responded to Princess Eva, who was finally turning away from Miss Danny to look at the other rabo somewhat haughtily.

Rikki's next words struck a cord deep within Yin. Whenever asked that question almost everyone answered "fine," "okay," or "good" even if they were not. For someone to admit that they were not doing okay meant that they had dropped to a pretty bad place, and Yin knew what that felt like. Yin felt like that most of the time now. He crouched down next to the boil, looking at him in concern as his eyes roamed over his body. "You need to take care of yourself," he finally murmured, eyebrows furrowed. "When was the last time you ate? Showered? I am sure that when Miss Danny awakens you shall want to look your best."

Did he just narrow his eyes at her? Princess Eva was not amused. Very pointedly she rubbed up against the crown princess. Hers.

Yin was more than used to boils who did not want to shower. But if he could get Alexander to shower, surely he could get Rikki to. And well, if leaving her was his main concern, that was easily dealt with, though Yin was rather sympathetic to his plight. "Princess Eva will guard her, she will not be alone."

At this point in his life, Yin did not feel strong. But there were others facing problems, and he would do what was necessary. He would be strong for Rikki. Standing he reached down for Rikki's hands, ready to help him up. "You need to clean up, it will not take long. Does Miss Danny have a shower?" There was a no-nonsense edge to his voice. If Rikki was fragile at the moment, maybe he just needed a dominating presence in his life right now to set things straight. If Miss Danny could not be there for him, Yin would look after him. He was Miss Danny's chosen after all, it was only natural that Yin would take care of the boil's needs while she slept.

Princess Eva moved forward herself, trying to shove her way in between the rabo and the crown princess. Silly boil.

Rikki was hot. The smooth skin underneath his fingertips was warm, and he could see a bit of a sheen to his skin. He definitely needed to cool down, though Yin was not certain he could help much in that regard. His v-neck was taunt against his torso, leaving little of his musculature to the imagination, and Yin noted that his clothing probably needed changed or cleaned as well. The weremantis reached out to smooth his shirt and tug the edge down on one side, still obviously concerned. "We shall have to go elsewhere then. The quicker we complete this task the sooner we can return to Miss Danny's bed side."

One hand closed around Rikki, guiding him to the door and out into the hallway, where Yin began knocking on doors and asking about the utilization of a shower until they found someone willing to let them in. It would be rude to just sit out in the demon's room, so Yin followed Rikki into the bathroom. "Do you require assistance? I could wash your clothing out in the sink while you bathe." Male nudity did not phase Yin in the least.

How dare he threaten her! Princess Eva yipped at him in annoyance and shoved him with her hip. Yeah, that would teach him.



Yin looked at Rikki in a very serious way. They were no longer playing around, and it was time to take this to the next level. "The more resistance you put up the longer this will take. If you just relax it will be less painful." The way he said it made it sound as if Rikki was being completely ridiculous and his nimble fingers slipped off his hoodie with what seemed like well-practiced ease, someone had to undress the reaper. Had they done this before?

Appalled Princess Eva knew what she had to do. She had to take care of this other rabo and then she could spend all the time in the world with the crown princess.

She pounced.



Yin could not help but be distracted as Rikki removed his shirt. These tattoos were not something that he was used to seeing, and they were rather fascinating. When he finally managed to look away from him he saw…a wound. He thought he could remember this one, but unable to completely place it, curious fingers raised as if to pass over the blemished skin, hovering in the air over the boil's chest before he remembered what he was doing. Rikki seemed to be...getting rather sullen. With a frown he reached down, batting at his hands and quickly undoing the button. "Cleanliness is not stupid Rikki. You will feel better after this."

Princess Eva smirked and preened, leaning down and licking him just because she could do it and she was better than him. Then she went back to cuddling the crown princess. OuO

Scars were just signs of battle. Yin accepted that Rikki. Yin accepted you.

Yin looked down, eyes catching on the other wound. He crouched down for just a moment, moving the fabric of the boxers to look at it. Yes, it matched the one under his collar bone. That reminded him. He straightened, looking in Rikki's glowing pumpkin orange eyes set in a sea of midnight. He reached up, the back of his fingers grazing over Rikki's cheek. "Back then...I should not have slapped you. I am not sorry for why I did what I did, but I should not have lost control. Can you ever forgive me?" There was a light pleading tone to his voice. So many things had happened to him...he simply did not want to deal with the small things. He wanted to put the past behind them.

This close he realized that actually...Rikki's lips were chapped. Yin's tongue flicked out to run over his own lips in sympathy.
