Private Roleplay between Nykol and Ravluv and all that good stuffs~
Misu Castle was quite quiet that day, for once. Perfect day for a ritual cleansing and spirit conjuring. All that was needed was the ingredients.
Tia Dalma was outside in the chicken coop that was the size of a small house, a ritual blade tucked into his belt as he grabbed for one of the chickens. It clucked and pecked at his hand angrily, getting in a few nasty bites, but eventually it was caught. Holding that one in one hand, he grabbed another one and carried them out of the coop to the stone altar next to a large oak tree.
Setting down the tamer of the two, he lit the 50 some odd candles along the altar, then held the chicken upside down over it. Taking the ritual blade, he sliced off its head with one swift motion, then did the same to the other, draining their blood into a large wooden bowl. Once they were drained, he set them down on either side of the altar, then held his own wrist over the bowl, cutting it open and letting his own blood drip into the bowl.
*Please note that Nykol is actually an animal lover, and does not approve of real life animal sacrifices or cruelty.

 Let it be known that Felix always did his homework, especially before an exam which could determine the course of his or his family's life. And this certainly could be viewed as an exam-- a test of his ability to deal with others, a test of his ability to support his family.
And if people knew Felix, they knew that he was damned determined to get the best out of any situation.
Waiting until Tia finished the ritual, Felix stood at a good distance away from the altar-- to save from offending-- clearing his throat when he thought it safe.

Tia's eyes opened, but were white from the film that had covered them. He blinked his eyes again and it was gone, the colour returning to their normal dark brown. Good thing he was done communicated with that spirit...
He glanced over at Felix, then turned his attention to his cut wrist. Tearing off a piece of his already tattered clothing, he wrapped it up, turning to face the boy.
"An' what can I do fer yeh?" he asked, looking at Felix curiously. "Curse? Cleans'n'? Look inta yer dez-tini?"

Taking a deep breath, Felix smiled neutrally, not wanting to offend the other. Naturally, the boy felt something nervous rising within him, something concerned and wary-- but that was his natural reaction to almost everything. Nothing overly strange about it. "...I actually came here on behalf of my family," Felix murmured quietly, "not anything for myself."
He'd brought a gift-- or payment-- for the stranger, though he'd hold that back until questioned about it. Felix was still young enough to feel cautious about this sort of business, the sort which could end up with his family in larger shambles than they already were in.

Tia paused a moment, watching Felix silently. Then he glanced back at the bowl and smiled. The blood was gone; the sacrifice was accepted. Now that that was out of the way, he turned back to Felix. "Yur fam'ly? Wut abowt dem? Dey got some bad spiri' chasin' em?"
He walked over to the boy, getting a closer look at him. His dark eyes widened slightly, then he smiled knowingly. Patting Felix's cheek lightly, he stepped passed him and motioned him to follow. "You are Marra Dez brothar, no? You come ta tell me ta ba'k offa 'im."

...well, this was certainly an awkward situation. Following Tia Dalma, Felix shook his head slightly. "Actually... no. Yes, I'm his brother, but... I came to ask you what Aiden said to you. Or rather," Felix corrected himself, "what he could've said to make you not speak with Maura. My brother was most concerned about it."

Tia paused and looked back at him curiously. A light smirk came to his lips. "You boiz.. Yer all a strange lot, ya know dat?" he asked. He lead Felix into the Castle and down one of the many hallways, to a den, where he sat back on one of the large couches.
"Eet's not so much what da boy sed to me as what culd happin to Marra Dez. Ah'd nevar forgive meself if sometin happind ta him becawz o' me." He paused for a moment, then looked at Felix and motioned for him to sit. "Dou, Adden ded seem a bit protective ov 'im. Snap'd at me when I question'd 'im 'bout Marra Dez tails. Marra deed not wanta tell me why dey were hurtin' him.. I ask Adden, and Adden seem ta turn into a beast defendin' pups." He looked at Felix, then his dark eyes seemed to catch the outline of the gift..
A smile came to his lips. "Iz dat for me?" he asked, leaning on the arm rest of the couch and resting his chin on his hand. How sweet this boy was. Much unlike Aiden.

"Yes," Felix affirmed while processing the rest of the information. Based on what he'd been told of Tia Dalma, he'd brought one of Muraki's little toys-- a doll which carried within it the spirit of a tiger. The thought bothered Felix, but... payment was payment. Offering the box containing the doll to Tia, Felix took a seat on one of the other couches.
"...I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you mean by 'what could happen' to him," Felix confessed after a moment. He'd speak to Maura about this pain later... he'd deal with Aiden later... "Is there trouble? Is it something Maura can't handle?" Because sometimes in lovers' quarrels-- if Maura Des and Tia Dalma had indeed gotten to that stage, something Felix really didn't need to know-- there were things which couldn't be said to the other, but only to a third party.

Tia's ears perked as he took and opened the box. He always liked recieving presents. Even if they were considered payments. But, that comes with the fact that he was what one could consider a pack rat klepto. It wasn't that he stole things.. He just heavily insisted that whenever someone visit him, they bring him gifts. Strangely, he never expected Maura to bring him anything. And yet, the little two tailed wolf was always bringing him presents, be it candies or jewelry.. There was even one time Maura brought him a little home-made necklace with a piece of finished wood, with his name burnt into it. That necklace was always around Tia's neck.
"Marra was alwaiz bringin' me gifds," he said, his tone sounding as if he really missed the wolf boy. He smiled, picking up the doll and looking at it. He kissed it's head softly, then let it sit on his lap as he returned his attention to Felix.
"Ahm not sure," he admitted. "But I ded a readen' aftar da inciden' wit Adden. Dose bones not be givin' Marra a gud outcom'." He paused again, seeming to think about it. Maybe he'd jumped to conclusions too soon..? The bones didn't say that HE was the cause of Maura's future difficulties...
"And den dere's de fact dat you boiz are close. I wuldn't wanta be da reas'n for dat fallin' 'part. Marra need hiz family more dan he need me."

Sighing softly, Felix smiled ruefully. "If you don't mind me speaking frankly, our whole family isn't set out to have a good outcome, Tia Dalma. It's better for us to have people in our lives who make us happy for the time being, rather than thinking of what the final outcome might be. Maura misses you. He misses you. No talking about the outcomes. Our family... we'll weather through our storms when they come into our lives. But we're scattered enough that without someone outside our family to tether us, we're... empty. Our lives don't carry the same weight they could.
"...so... please. Talk to him? At least... tell him why you're concerned. Let him make his own decision about whether or not to risk it-- you don't know that you're the one who's going to make his outcome a bad one. Let him have a say in this. Don't take the decision away from him," Felix murmured quietly.

Tia frowned, his fingers playing with the doll's hair slightly as he listened to Felix. But.. something caught his attention that he said. He blinked and looked up, his ears perked as his dark eyes gazed at the other. "Marra.. missez me..?" he asked, as if he didn't hear right. "But.. I don' understand now... Eef he missez me, why hasn't 'e tried contacten' me? Ah havent herd frum da boi en weeks."

Now... wait a moment. If Felix remembered correctly, Maura had said he'd tried every way imaginable to speak with Tia. This just... wasn't adding up-- unless something had happened in between the time he'd spoken with Maura? No... not about Maura's feelings. "The last time I spoke with Maura, he said he was trying through many different ways to get a hold of you... is it possible that he just never got a hold of you? Or is there someone interfering?" Felix mused the last out loud before he realized what he'd said.
...damnit.

Tia looked confused as well. So.. Maura HAD been trying to get in contact with him? "Ah wasn't aware of 'im tryin' dat... I nevar go' any mess-age from him.." His dark eyes narrowed slightly when Felix brought up the idea someone was interfering with the messages. He leaned back on the couch, frowning.
"Who..?" he asked. Who would've gone out of their way to do something like that?

...he felt very weary. The thought of someone else interfering with his family again... there were the list of usual candidates, though something as benign as a lover's quarrel wouldn't normally be something they chose to play with. Felix would have to look into this... "Maura wants to talk to you, wants to see you. Wants some assurance that you don't hate him, and that whatever Aiden said hasn't changed things between you," the young wolf finally decided to say. "I would suggest... if you don't mind... since other methods of communication seem to be failing... that you go and speak to him?
"As for who might be interfering... I don't know," he admitted. "But I'll try to figure it out." There had to be an explanation...

Tia nodded slowly, playing idly with one of the doll's arms. His dark brown eyes seemed to be distant at that moment, as if he was thinking about something. Or maybe.. hearing something not from this world. He blinked his eyes slowly and lifted his head, looking at Felix. A light smile came to his lips. "Yurr a gud boi, Feliks," he purred.
