"Right now, he doesn't even know what he wants," Momo corrected, pleased. "I have nothing against you. I just don't want the humans going down for your bad attitude. I think you need to talk to Razz. I took four people, including him, from the human world. The three others I took are Razz's friends. Razz and Tzal were planning to head to Italy once they turned eighteen, to meet up with their two online friends. They were planning to live together, just the four of them. Their two friends have powers, as well..."
|
"I'm not sure if I can handle anymore 'gifted' humans," Iri said as she stood up. She wasn't going to say anything about his comment on her attitude, not now anyway. She couldn't really argue at the moment, not with these orders fresh off the list. Sighing she then said, "I suppose I shall get going then." Rolling her eyes momentarily the girl disappeared in the same purple fog only to reappear in from of Razz. Her head was down as she knelt before the male. She was silent knowing that with her old Sire, any speaking would just give her more trouble.
|
Razz himself was curled up in one of the basement corners, his head also down. He looked even more submissive than she did. He didn't move a muscle--he sounded like he was crying.
|
When Razz had remained silent Iri rolled her eyes up to see his expression. Seeing that he looked more petrified than she had expected. "Please forgive me," she said quietly, just above the sounds coming from the male. Her head was lowered once again. She wasn't sure what to do; she wasn't used to anyone being upset, especially someone that she had to serve and now apparently raise like she had guessed.
|
"Please refrain from having temper tantrums in the future." Tzal had awoken, and he scuttled over to sit beside Razz and rub his shoulders, reassuringly. "He is not as strong as you think he is."
Razz immediately turned into the warmth beside him, burying his face in Tzal's shoulder. |
Iri kept her head low, seemingly not responding to what Tzal had said. She had heard what he had said but locked it away for future use. "He may not be as strong as I think he is now, but he'll have to be. Those are my orders now. The only way they can be overriden is if Rasputin can become as powerful as my previous Sire if not more. He could override the order then, but at that point my orders will be fufilled."
|
Tzal snorted. "If you ever want to gain his trust, ever again, you're going to have to get used to the fact that he isn't your Sire. He's someone different."
|
Iri then looked up at Tzal, her eyes dark; they weren't going red, they were just a dark brown. "And if you wish me to keep calm then you may want to respect my orders." Her words were sharp seeing as she was still worked up from her earlier show. "I didn't destroy your little planet thanks to Rasputin, you better respect the fact that I could do it at the drop of the hat." She then looked at the scared male leaning against Tzal before saying, "My Sire is the only one that is able to control me so easily unless I am otherwise ordered by my current one and that obviously didn't happen."
|
Tzal frowned. "You should try to learn how to calm him down when he's upset, first." Tzal gently pried Razz from his shoulder. "Go for it. See if you can do that much, at least." His tone was still cutting. Razz was his best friend.
|
Iri shot Tzal a sharp look; it wasn't like she had actually cared for humans before. The previous ones in Razz's bloodline didn't require such attention either, they were all heartless and did as they pleased. She wasn't going to say anything though, not knowing something wasn't something that she was fond of.
|
"Try. There's no harm in trying. He's half-human. You have to learn how to deal with his human side, as well," Tzal reminded her, still holding a very upset Razz away from his shoulder.
|
Iri looked from Razz to Tzal and back to the upset male once again. Worrying her buttom light slightly the demon the scooted closer to the duo and carefully wrapped her arms around the boy. She gently pulled him closer to him, cradling him slightly. The brunette wasn't comfortable with it, everything about it made her feel uncomfortable and she was pretty sure she looked that way too.
|
Razz leaned into the touch, at once, resting his head on her shoulder. He stayed like that for a few moments, until his sniffling started dying down. Then, he was silent--he'd fallen asleep.
|
Iri was frozen, tensed up at Razz's reaction. Once he quieted down a bit she shot Tzal a dirty look almost as if to say, 'there, you happy now?'. She wasn't sure what to do at that point; humans were much softer than she would have guessed. At this point she wasn't so much worried about the other supernatural humans as she was trying to get used to taking care of a half breed.
|
"Go take him upstairs," Tzal murmured, quietly. "Momo is sure to have guest rooms. Put him in one of the beds, tuck him in, so he can rest for a while. He should be better when he wakes up."
|
"Don't get used to being able to boss me around," Iri said as the purple cloud swarmed her and Razz and they were gone. She wasn't sure where they were going but she figured that it would be too hard to move. If she couldn't find a room then she could just as easily to take him to his family's castle. When they reappeared though it seemed like the demon had gotten lucky for once, either that or the imp had set something up so that she couldn't get lost. She wasn't sure. Walking over to the bed Iri set Razz down before moving the blankets and covering him. She sighed then, just watching the boy for a second.
|
Razz curled up into a ball as he was set down. He looked sad even as he slept, which was quite the accomplishment. It was going to take a while for him to get back to his old self again.
|
Iri shook her head slowly; she wasn't so sure if she was going to be able to do what was asked of her. For her to think something like that was a rare thing indeed, she was never the kind to doubt herself. After watching the boy for a few moments longer the demon then walked over to one of the chairs and sat down in it. Pulling her knees to her chest she looked to the ceiling and just sat there.
|
Momo appeared in the basement after a moment. He'd decided to keep the other two out for now, and instructed Tzal to watch over them. He flitted through the ceiling, and floated up into the guest room Razz and Iri were in. He poked her shoulder, mouthing 'I need to speak with you.'
|
Iri turned to look at Momo before letting her feet fall lightly back to the floor. Taking a slow breath she stood back up and moved her arms to indicate for him to lead the way. She wasn't sure what all of this was about but she wasn't so sure; at that point it could have been anything.
|
Momo dropped back down into the basement, and waited for her. Once she was there, he folded his arms across his chest. "If you want him to stay here, I'll go fetch Razz's things from his home. These three..." he glanced at Tzal and the two sleeping strangers. "They will probably be wanting to stay here, as well. Without them here, Razz will not listen to anything you have to say, and he'll just want to go home. Shall I fetch their things, as well, you think?"
|
"If you want my honest opinion," Iri stated as she crossed her arms under her chest, her eyes scanning the sleeping strangers. "I think it would be best for Razz to be moved to his family's castle. It is the safest place for him now that the high council knows that he exists. As for the others, what must be done will have to be done that is all there is to it." While she wasn't a fan of the huge group being there at least she knew Razz was under better watch now that he was out of the human realm.
|
"I think Tzal has everything under control here, for now. And it is my home, so I will know when something happens...if it does. Help me fetch everything, and we can take it all to the castle. You can get Razz's things...I have the other three covered," Momo replied, nodding.
|
"What am I to grab exactly?" Iri asked with a sigh. "It's kind of my first time dealing with humans let alone have to do the work of the house crew." She was getting irritated, that was obvious but there wasn't much more that could be done about that at this point. She knew that if they were at the castle it would be best though. She knew everyone in the staff and knew that they would be more than happy to see the boy. It seemed like something that should be able to brighten his day anyway.
|
"For now, everything that is in his room. Furniture, belongings...everything in the bathroom, as well, other than the sink, bathtub, and shower." Momo paused. "If you want, you could take Tzal with you. He should know what to grab."
