"You're sure?" Pre'acha'n asked, looking at him. He fidgeted in place, still holding on to Oni's hand. "Oni?" he whispered, "Can you keep the dog away from me? I really don't like them..."

Rain bit her lip as the nails tightened into her skin, her will barely restraining the dragon that was currently causing a soft flame to flicker over her finger nails and turn them red and orange. She held on, knowing she couldn’t react yet. The information….. It was more important then anything. She had to know his plans… she just held on for once thankful of the hunters. They had put her endurance beyond most humans…

So that was why he’d chosen dante, he’d noticed her friendship with him. It may have made her feel guilty but the warlock ensured her attention was elsewhere. The touch of her clothing and reminder of just what she’d killed him in the act of trying to do was too much even for Rain’s will as fear did indeed overwhelm her….. Just not necessarily getting the reaction he wanted... Instantly her knee was kicking upwards and making him regret being a man before she raised a hand and sent one of her favorite telekinesis spells to lift him off and throw him away from her body. It left several nail marks now bleeding down her pale throat but she didn’t care, she simply sat up as she coughed for breath and shivered a little.



Janu shrugged as he spoke, looking down and blushing. She hadn’t minded Tal disappearing as much as she would otherwise, as she still felt unsure of her emotions. She knew she wasn’t in love with him yet… but she knew that every time that she and Tal exchanged passion she loved Ti less…. Still as Ti looked between them and smirked it made her flush deeper, causing her to stand closer to Tal to hide it. She simply took his hand, hiding her thoughts.

Oni looked at Ti and said, "I don't mind showing you I just don't want to go in there is all." He didn't like how they reminded him of being trapped. He smiled at Brenden and said, "Okay I'll make sure to keep him away from you." He was glad that someone wanted him to help. He liked being useful. He made himself like a little wall between his bird friend and the dog.

Talianda held her hand as she took his, pulling her closer when he noticed Ti's smirk. He glared at him a moment, blush making nearly ineffective. He folded one wing around her, unconsciously making a show of her being his. "Ta'i chala" he whispered to her.

Rin looked up after a few minutes and casted all of his wards on himself again tucked his claws back onto his belt and walked downstairs opening the fridge and grabbing some more water.

"Kh-!" Dante whined in pain as a certain soft spot was hit, easily being thrown off. He hit the ground hard and tumbled, ending up in an awkward position at first until his mind went from his dizzy state and straight back to the pain. He curled up, one hand gripping his hair tight as his other wrapped around his stomach. He couldn't breath- it hurt so much! Why did women need to kick that place?

His breathing was erratic as fear shivered throw him. He couldn't get her image out of his head. She was right there, hovering above him. Always above him. Those stilettos hurt, but she didn't care. She had no mercy.

Ti just smiled and shook his head at the two, "Kawaii, ne?" He joked as he turned to Oni and Pre'acha'n. He sighed and then sat back at the bar, his head feeling fuzzy again. "Actually, I might have to postpone our adventure, I'm not feeling real good." He said as he leaned back a bit. He stifled a yawn and tried to shake of the drained feeling. What he should do is go back and meditate.

Oni looked at Ti quizzically. "What does kawaii ne mean?" he asked Ti. He was happy though that they had to postpone their little tour. "That's okay Ti. Ya you should rest. You and Dante seemed to be sorta out of it today," he said to him.

Ti chuckled, "it was more to myself if anyone, I was just saying how cute Tal and Janu are." He said in a slighly mocking tone as he glanced to them. "I do need to rest, I'm just low on energy is all." He stood again, ruffling Oni's hair. He went to the door and let Dalcha back in, then made his way up to his room.

(( I have to go, I'm not doing to well. Dalcha is going to hang with you all though so if you want to interact with her, just play her part too. ))

Rain gasped for breath a moment longer, still breathing deeply. Once she caught her breath she spoke, though still leaning over her own lap. “I… I’m sorry Dante. He was starting to … I panicked.” She said simply, still coughing as she rubbed her throat. Shaking her head the mage stood, pushing to her feet and holding out a hand to help him up. “I….I can promise you’re possessed now though…….because I know exactly who is possessing you…” She sighed softly, leaning back and putting a hand on the table to balance her. In truth she’d been a lot closer to losing then she’d let the warlock see…



Feeling herself pulled closer Janu hid her face in Tal’s shoulder, feeling a little like she was betraying them both… Ti for what she was doing with tal and Tal for still loving Ti. She blushed, closing her eyes as she felt the wing wrap around her. It felt warm… Shaking off the thought she looked up as Tal spoke, making her whisper softly “I…I know.” Not sure of what else to say as she blushed so much deeper.

Pre'acha'n saw Dalcha enter, and scooted more behind Oni, eyes going wide. "No..." he whimpered, stating to quiver in fear.

Talianda glared harder at Ti, the blush starting to leave. He heard Janu, and closed his wing a little tighter around her. He stopped glaring to kiss her on the forehead, that being the only place he could easily reach. "I know you know."

Cat decided to make her way back to the Inn, she floated along down the path back to the Inn, playing with her sleeves. She pushed open the door and walked in. "Helloo" She said softly as she moved towards the bar. She was looking for a cup and some tea.

All of her words were jumbled. All he could comprehend was the movement. He saw her hand reach for him and immediately slapped it away. He forced himself to still up and pushed away, glaring at the woman. "Get the Hell out... JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" He had every right to be pissed. He didn't want to do the to her. He didn't want to be pushed to a point where he couldn't control himself. Why couldn't she just listen? Why did she persist? She always went too far, just like their last match up. Women... never learned. They only cared for themselves. They had no empathy...

Rin saw Cat and all he could do was nod. It was not a suprise she was not talking to him. He sighed lightly he always seemed to do this and for some reason he had a feeling things like this had happened to him and Cat in the past.

Oni jerked feeling panic from different parts of the house and anger too. He took care of the one he could identify saying to Brenden, "Do you want to go somewhere else? Somewhere the dog won't go?" He didn't want his friend to be scared. He made sure that the dog never was able to touch Brenden, keeping himself between them.

He gulped and nodded, eyes never leaving the dog. "It's huge," he whispered, clinging to Oni's hand with both of his. The grip was tight, almost panicked. He took one deep breath, and then started breathing shallowly again.

Oni let him squeeze his hand tight knowing how touch often was more comforting than anything. "Don't worry even though he is big he wouldn't hurt you," he said with a smile. Oni wondered partly if this was true. He hadn't exactly seen what the dog could do but he had heard enough to know just how deadly this dog could be. He had a bloody shirt to prove it too. Oni got an idea saying, "Remember that game Brenden? Do you want to show me how to play?"

Pre'cha'n blinked, not realizing what Oni was talking about at first. "Oh, Risk? Sure," he said, eyeing the dog and looking at Oni at the same time. "I can teach you..."

Rain simply nodded, still too shaken to argue with him. She didn’t even react as he slapped her hand away…figuring he had a right to do so. He was stuck in this, a random, clueless, innocent…. Perhaps it would have been better off had she not cared about him ever. Repeating a soft “I’m sorry……You’ll never know how much…” She stepped out the door wobbling a little… Then, however, the combination of events caused her to make it about two steps before she fell over….Unconscious… She had pushed something to far….namely her own body.



Janu shivered as he pulled her tighter, looking up at the kiss of her forehead. She felt so strange, so split in two… but things were as they should be for everyone else… Ti and Arina together, and Tal having her. That was all that mattered, she told herself and curled up against his shoulder. She simply glanced over as she heard the cute comment, sighing briefly…

Talianda wrapped his other wing around them, creating a sort of private area. "Something's bothering you. Was it me disappearing?" he asked, hugging her. "I'm sorry, Ti gave me a book about how to use a power I wasn't aware I had."

Oni took his bird friend to a table by the fireplace. He quickly grabbed the game and put it on the table saying, "Okay Brenden you set it up." He purposely picked the fire hoping the dog would find it warm and go to sleep. He watched the dog as he did just as Oni had planned. He said to Brenden, "See he's going to sleep now so we should be okay. I'm going to go get snacks. Is that okay?"

Oh! I’m fine.” Janu half lied, shaking off her inner thoughts. She turned and looked up at him a moment before kissing him deeply but briefly, touching his cheek with one clawed hand. She wanted to love him…she really did. And she owed Ti nothing….nothing…. He’d just been pretending to need her…that’s all…hmmm and she did enjoy his kisses….

"Umm, yeah," he said, opening the box and taking out the board. "I love you, Risk..." He quickly set up, bicking the green army for himself, and setting the others to the side. He put the cards and dice in the middle of the ocean, it being out of the way, for the most part. "Oni, pick a color. Sorry, there's no purple!"

Talianda almost started when Janu kissed him, but quickly melted into the kiss. "Mmm..." He looked at her as she drew back, thoughts of what they had done going through his mind again. He pulled her closer, "Do you want to go somewhere more private?"

"Salvami, l'Italia!" Dante whine as he heard the 'thunk' outside his door. He grit his teeth and fought back against the pain. Finally he slammed his fist to the ground hard, pain rushing through him and away from his 'special place.' He took a deep breath before shoving himself up to his feet and carefully walked after her. "You're... useless... woman..." He huffed. His eyes lingered on her form as his breathing picking up once more.

He slammed his fist against the wall, forcing his mind to stick to the pain as his arm shook. It was bleeding, throbbing, and he swore he had cracked something. With a deep break he wrapped his arms around the woman and picked her up. He heartlessly dumped her on his bed before leaving his room and slamming the door behind him. (Not like he'd meant to, of course. A busted hand doesn't work a hundred percent, after all.)

At least he was on the third floor. Wait... DAMN! He was on the third floor! He frowned and lolled his head back, stumbling a bit before fixing himself and trudging on forward. He needed water, food, and to be away from that heinous twat.

Oni smiled at him reassuringly and started to head to the kitchen. He heard Brenden tell the game he loved it and thought that was a little odd. Not thinking too much on it he grabbed some sodas and snacks for both of them. Once he got back to the table he put the things down and asked, "Do they have blue? I like blue too."
