Willow's Birthday Ceremony

(This is rather late in coming. Sorry guys)

Nikki Robbins glances over catching sight of Xea then back over as Ra appeared.

Rameaus Renard quietly moved away, nodding to both of them.

Xeandra Claveau 's gaze narrowed she took a deep breath having so much rage recently there was an air of irritation as she approached though she was not casually rude." Such a big gathering when the mayor and police force plead against it... Evening all." her voice was grim and rougher then its usual velveteen purr.

Nikki Robbins glances to Xea catching the tone though Jas didn't care at all what the police thought, "Evenin Xea."

Willow Finchy looking back at Xeandra she said sweetly "If it would make you Feel better Miss Xeandra we could move this gathering to the caverns for ones such as myself"

Rameaus Renard: He nodded to all three females, but his deepest nod was to Willow for she was why he was here. Other than that, he stood vampire still and silent.

Xeandra Claveau's eye widened surprised at willows form she'd not yet seen it. She nodded to the faun stating to settle a little “I don't really care if they find out. I'm not sure what you mean by gathering. “Her face showed slight confusion “Is there yet another thing i'm missing out on?" she pouted a bit, crossing her arms under her breasts.

Nikki Robbins yawns as she listens to Xea's answer. Jas knew her on the side activities were really starting to interfere with her sleep.

Willow Finchy looking over at Xeandra "My birthday is tomorrow and I have a Ceremony that needs to be completed before then"

Xeandra Claveau’s brows went up in surprise " Happy birthday Can I stick around or? “She looked to the other two that were surrounding the fae " By the way your true from is splendid " doing the fae court rules and showing that she thinks willow is attractive. Distracted for the moment from her irritation her energies begin to calm. "

Willow Finchy smiles sweetly as she back at Jas "You are more then welcome to stay... I was hoping that someone in the town would venture out into the woods to that they could be part of the ceremony" closing her eyes sweetly she nodded to Jas letting her know she was ready, before slowly turning and removing her cloths, slowly stepping out onto the surface of the water

Nikki Robbins smirks as she holds onto the flute she has been practicing on when she can. Jas knew she was ready for this ceremony, if for nothing else, to take her out of the mundane.

Nikki Robbins nods and smiles as she brings the flute to her lips. Slowly, Jas closes her eyes. She starts to play the melody Willow had taught her as she opened herself up to the song.

Rameaus Renard watched the lovely faun intently, dark eyes never leaving her form. What he may have been thinking or feeling was not to be read upon his face.

Willow Finchy watching the water slowly grow into tentacles she begins to sway her hips slightly, moving them back and forth, before slowly and timid beings to full on dance with the waters tendrils, swaying slightly to the beat of the music, her eyes remaining close as the water dances around her body

Xeandra Claveau falls silent watching intrigued. The sight was fantastic as she'd never seen any magic wrought with water. Her face softened and she smiled remaining at a respectful distance though the music soothed her like nothing had in the past few weeks.

Rameaus Renard: Soft like, like the sun blossomed in the depths of his eyes, reacting to the ritual before him. A slow easy wave of energy flowed outward from him, allowed to join and enhance the faun's ritual. The flute brought a soothing feeling, tranquility.

Nikki Robbins continues the melody. Jas' form relaxes into the music as she plays. Her whole being focuses on each little note as she form together and flow outward to aid Willow in her ceremony. Her tiredness is now nothing to her as she plays.

Willow Finchy continues to move with the beat of the music as the water at the tips of the tendrils becomes blue fire, slowly caressing her body and breasts leaving slight marks on her as she winces in pain, her hands sweetly running through the water part of the tendril as she looks back at the crowd, her eyes now glowing a light blue, the markings now slowly starting to form on her body as her right of passage and ability to stay in the world longer then before. She has now become a true member of the Water Clan

Xeandra Claveau takes a deep breath and moves to the side leaning on the tree knowing she'd be selfish and want to feel this tranquility forever wishing the ceremonial music could be continuous the melody helping her be transfixed by the fauns movements.

Rameaus Renard: Glowing dark eyes watched the blue markings appear on the faun's skin and he felt the primal energy of the area around them. Eyes closing, he drew a deep breath inward, reveling in the sensation and music.

Nikki Robbins slowly opens her eyes though she is still enveloped into the music as she sees the blue markings on Willow now.

Willow Finchy jumping off the water she lands on the solid ground in front of Jas, before completely collapsing to the ground, the waters return to normal but the tattoos and her eyes continue to glow

Xeandra Claveau's hands twitch and she rushes over to willow not daring to let down her shields or call flesh knowing that is was simply exhaustion. Reluctantly she reaches for her and then hesitates, her hands hovering just above the faun's flesh “Willow. You need rest are you alright? Where can I taking you." hoping her questions stir the unconscious fae.

Rameaus Renard blinked and moved forward to make sure Willow was alright. His fingers lightly touching the center of her back where he could easily feel any heartbeat or distress.

Willow Finchy arching her back she screams in pain as she the glowing on her body and eyes seems to get brighter with the touch of the man, the scream descends as the glow dissipates sweetly she blinks and looks at all the people around her, a sweet whisper slips from her lips as she speaks "Thank you.... all of you... “Before she goes back unconscious

Nikki Robbins looks around, "we can't just leave her here. We need to take her some place safe."

Xeandra Claveau winces and bats at Ra's hands instantly but pauses when willow speaks and then lets out a huge sigh “Well damn she didn't say how we could move her or anything ..."

Rameaus Renard narrows his eyes as his hand is nearly slapped away. "An interesting dilemma....but...isn't she safe within her own element?"

Xeandra Claveau frowns now trying to figure out the situation" Hmm I don't know much about her physicality if she needs to be conscious when she goes into the water or not... "

Willow Finchy whimpers for a moment as she flutters her eyes open, looking up at everyone, before slowly getting up, her kneels slightly shaking as the energy that was taken from her now seems to be returning and very rapidly "The Gentleman is right... but I am doing fine now. That water will help strengthen me and will help me to grow in power and strength. Is there anything I can do for you all" Looking from Ra to Jas then over to Xeandra

Rameaus Renard stood slowly, "I will let you know, Willow, then I need something." He smiled slowly down to her. "Congratulations."

Xeandra Claveau rolls her shoulders with the music gone tension was starting to seep back into her " Umm you could rest for me that’d be good for me." she smiles a little looking uncertain. " Id like to learn some more about you honestly the music reminding me of my healing ability and I wonder of the similarities between them."

Nikki Robbins slowly rises and shakes her head, “I’m fine. The only thing I need is an hour of sleep before this dance thing later."

Willow Finchy nods sweetly to all of them "As you Wish, I will rest and please Come by anytime... With this new found strength... I believe that I will have the ability to move past the lake and into the town for the first time."

Xeandra Claveau smiles at willow " that’s perfect tonight is a masquerade you could come just as you are with a mask if you wished but I don't know you may choose to be more secretive when you wander up to you dear."

Nikki Robbins looks around as she pockets the pan pipe. Jas' mind goes back to her former mission on hand. Jas listened with half an ear to their conversation.

Willow Finchy nods sweetly " I would have to decline on that Miss Xeandra, I have other obligations to take care of deep in the waters, Jas if you would like to learn any new songs please come and see me anytime." looking over at the Gentleman she puts her hand out smiling gently " I am Willow of the Water Faun Clan, And you would be?"

Rameaus Renard took her hand lightly within his own, lifting it upward to his mouth where he kissed the back. "I am Ra, Master of the City."

Nikki Robbins looks to Ra with a smirks as she pushes her darkly tinted sunglasses u her nose to make sure her eyes were covered. Jas crossed her arms as she watched the interaction.

Willow Finchy blinks slightly as she looks at Ra, her hands slightly trembles as she lowers her head in respect "Please for give me I had no Idea who you were"

Rameaus Renard: "It's quite alright...we were not formally introduced until now....all is remedied."

Willow Finchy nods sweetly "Please Sir... If there is anything I can do for you, please name it and I will be more then happy to do so, Well... besides killing someone.... not very good at that" giggles slightly as she continues to look down at her hoofs

Xeandra Claveau isn’t quite quick enough to hide her disappointment. " I didn't mean now but since you need to do things please go rest I’m going to go into town to prepare for tonight’s dance." she gives a warm smile to willow " I'll come looking for you soon to check in on you."

Willow Finchy nods sweetly to Xeandra after speaking to Ra

Rameaus Renard: "I will find you later, should I think of something I need from you, Willow."

Xeandra Claveau gives a significant glance to Ra before moving off

Nikki Robbins looks to Xea and nods then looks to Willow, "well...this was a success."

Willow Finchy nods sweetly at Ra before looking at Jas, walking up to her and sweetly swinging her arms around her, hugging her sweetly "Thank you so much for your help"

Nikki Robbins gives a faint smile as she hugs back, "you're welcome Willow."

Rameaus Renard quietly moved away, nodding to both of them.

Good or Bad Intentions

Saber Hayashi jumped up the tree trunk then launched himself closer, looking down to Jas carefully, trying not to give away his position

Nikki Robbins sighs as she looks down at the water. She kneeled next to it and slowly ran her hand along the surface.

Saber Hayashi smirked to himself, sliding down the tree trunk and staying the opposite side of the evergreen sapling. "Hey, Miss Russell, the progress reports on the newest case are missing, and one has a coffee stain on it, was that you by chance?"

Nikki Robbins froze in her place as she heard the voice and slowly turned to look for the voice. She appearance to be rather weak and tired.

Saber Hayashi walked from behind the tree, his face covered by his goggles and veils, "Jas..." Talon looked towards her blankly, as if he hadn’t really thought this through...

Nikki Robbins froze as she looked over at saw him. Her eyes went wide and she went to step back but when her foot splashed into the water she gulped.

Saber Hayashi took a silent step forwards, he held out his arms. Blotches of paled skin and many, many needle marks... and from the angles, all self inflicted. "We need to talk Mistress.... badly..."

Nikki Robbins: "a...about....what...?"

Saber Hayashi looked towards the water, "You... me... your apparent mental fuckup, me trying to kill you... oh and about 100 grand on my head"

Nikki Robbins just looked at Saber wondering if it was Saber or Talon still. But she remained in silence.

Saber Hayashi sighs waiting for a response that wasn’t going to happen. "Jas... come on here, I am the reason your life is a living hell, don’t you at least want to punch me in the face?" Talon griped his goggles and adjusted them, keeping an eye on her as he said "I have control... and I want to start my bloodline from the mistake I so badly made."

Saber Hayashi tilted his head hearing the engine from afar. "Great."

Nikki Robbins was about to answer when she looked over and saw Tristan. The sadness was back in her eyes as she quickly backed away from him

Faolann Dufaux: "Long time no see. Shall I teach you a lesson like last time? I'm honestly not in the mood to be seeing your face right now...especially not with the shit that I've been through...and right now I'm feeling pretty damn strong from my communion with the munin."

Saber Hayashi looked back to Jas and growled under his breath. "I knew I should have left that bastard on, Tristan your not welcome nor needed here... be gone" Talon raised a hand towards Jas, his tattered gloved hand outstretched... At this moment, Talon was himself.

Faolann Dufaux draws his sword. "How about no...I still have a promise I will not break to her...even though I broke her heart...I will not allow people like you to hurt her."

Nikki Robbins looked around her mind all confused and shouting at her as she gripped her head. She leaned against the cliff face and slid to the ground.

Saber Hayashi pulled back his hand and sighed. "Promise? You don’t know the meaning of the word." Talon took a step back and let loose a low growl, "I am not here to harm the only reason I haven’t left the country you Baka"

Faolann Dufaux: "I Know it better than most...If you arent here to hurt...then state your being and this silver bolt in my crossbow sword may stay put."

Nikki Robbins started to softly cry not knowing what to do but just wanting everyone gone. She didn't trust any other those around her....not anymore...

Saber Hayashi looked away from Tristan. "You of all people asking that of me... Gah, I am here to make things simpler for Jas, for me... and for you... I am going to hand myself over to the local hunter so he can collect his precious dollars... after I make my reasoning known... I want to start my clan, finally..."

Faolann Dufaux looks away sensing someone coming..."How could you make this simpler for me?"

Saber Hayashi laughed shaking his head. "If i am out of the way permanently, then Jas is all yours to mentally ruin, you’ve done a better job than I have dammit"

Faolann Dufaux growls..."How dare you."

Saber Hayashi raised his hand and cut in. "Dare me? All I did was give myself over to the most dangerous people on the planet... I had a promise Tristan, a word you still don’t know the meaning of"

Nikki Robbins spoke softly but repeating herself, "just...go away...everyone....just...go away....everyone."


Faolann Dufaux: "Jaslene..." Tristan sighed softly as he looked back at saber in anger. "I wish you were dead right now...Talon."

Saber Hayashi looked over his shoulder, his pupils turning into vertical slits. “Jas, Nikki wants to know about you, she emailed me a week ago... I need to reply sometime." Talon was trying to prove a point, while keeping Tristan at bay

Nikki Robbins stayed there mumbling to herself and not looking up at them at all.

Saber Hayashi shook his fist and growled. "Anger will solve fuck all," Talon bit into his own fist and glared to Tristan, spitting out the blood. "You, get off that 50's remake of a push-bike and stand here..."

Faolann Dufaux gets off his bike and walks closer to Talon. "Want to say that again?"

Saber Hayashi looked towards Tristan and said with calm and hidden pissed off tone. "Anger will solve... FUCK all, now but the butter knife away before Jas becomes so stressed that she rips us both a new asshole each"

Nikki Robbins There was all ready a faint growling coming from Jas' direction.

Faolann Dufaux: "You dick..." HE points the blade at Talon the dart staring at him with deadly intent. "I could end this now..."

Wolfgang Blackthorne follows willow, hearing a strange noise

Willow Finchy hearing the Roar she runs over and looks seeing two men fighting she screams at the top of her lungs "NO..... Don't hurt the woods or you will not like what will happen, stop the fighting or else" Holding her flute to her lips still

Faolann Dufaux: "Wolfgang...stay on guard." He says catching his comrade’s familiar scent. "This man is dangerous."

Saber Hayashi looked back to Tristan. "You wont end anything today Tristan, now unless you want some actual insults thrown around, please.... Put... the swords, away..." Talon looked behind towards Jas, "heh, to think the only reason I am still around this asshole of a country is because I want to keep that girl alive...." Talon snapped his look forwards, giving a glare to wolf.... "Heh, Come for a talk with Jas, and the asshole brigade just HAVE to stop me from talking and fixing things... don’t they?"

Faolann Dufaux: "You just seem like a rather unscrupulous character... and we don't want your kind fucking with the town.”

Ceres Dreamscape gasps catching up and whispers to Willow "what's goin on?"

Faolann Dufaux: "Give me reason to trust your words an I will put away my blade."

Wolfgang Blackthorne looks from Tristan to the girl to the other male who seems very determined to do something violent. He was confused as he didn’t know what was going on. All this was strange, he had never heard anyone really call for him before, much less expect it from Tristan. Watched them closely

Nikki Robbins finally just starting screaming at the top of her lungs, "Everyone! Just go away! Leave me alone! I don’t want anyone! Just go away!" Jas clenched her hands tighter in her hair as she cried.

Wolfgang Blackthorne looks over at willow then behind him hearing Ceres

Saber Hayashi glared to Tristan and shook his head... "If i am still alive, I will..." Talon looked behind him towards Jas, and sighed... "Tristan, next time I try to make someone feel better about having their lives fucked up... don’t show your face..."

Willow Finchy taking a deep breath as she begins to play, each seems to case an eerie mood in the air, the lull of sensations of calm and her flute having the ability when played to sooth, calm and case merriment in everything from Fairies to Humans, the music seems to be heard across the forest as she tries to calm the situation

Faolann Dufaux sheathes his blade. "Jas...Only cause you asked."

Wolfgang Blackthorne shakes his head feeling some strange feeling of happiness over come him though he was still concerned by what was happening in front of him seeing Tristan disarm himself

Faolann Dufaux begins to smile. "Wolfgang at ease...I must find the alpha."

Saber Hayashi gripped his head a little, feeling soothed, but still agitated from Tristan’s presence and Jas's walled up mind.

Nikki Robbins starts to feel more calm with the music of the flute yet her mind is still a whirl of emotions and confusion.

Wolfgang Blackthorne looks confused, not sure what to think. Everything happened so fast. He watched the others though noticed willow playing her flute

Ceres Dreamscape leans against a tree trying to grasp the whole situation, but her mind keeps going back to the happy little woot loops in her bag. She never knew she could be happy enough from music to get the munchies.

Faolann Dufaux catches a glimpse of sabers arm...noticing as set of numbers tattooed deeply into it.

Willow Finchy continues to play her flute as she looks over at Wolfgang then to the other members of the group, hoping that everything is going to be well with everyone

Faolann Dufaux hops on his bike again. "I guess till we meet again, talon." He says with a smile.


Saber Hayashi shook his head, his beast was resisting the calm, and he had too much time in contact with calming energies thanks to a vampire he used to know... Talon watched Tristan carefully and nodded... "Next time we meet, we will be friends... and you wont ruin everything..."

Willow Finchy stops playing as she looks at the group knowing that one of the gentlemen is leaving she lets out a sigh of relief before walking over to the remaining member of the group she ran up on

Faolann Dufaux: "Wolfgang...be safe...if anything happens call me...when the faun is gone."

Wolfgang Blackthorne: "but...i don’t havea phone...or a number...”

Willow Finchy stepping closer to the group she looks at the Gentleman and the Lady and bows slightly "I'm sorry for interrupting but I do not like fighting in my forest"

Ceres Dreamscape covers her mouth trying not to laugh at Wolf. She glances at Willow then at those she does not recognize.

Saber Hayashi watched Tristan ride off, and with comprising glares he looked down to willow. "Understandable... and thank you for your help."

Nikki Robbins stay curled up against the cliff face still softly crying and at the edge of truly losing it for good. Though she calms some as Tristan leaves.

Wolfgang Blackthorne shakes his head. “Where does he get off telling me what to do again" he mutters quietly to himself

Willow Finchy nods sweetly "Is everything alright Sir? My name is Willow and as I said.... “She stops and walks over to the lady, placing a hand on her shoulder "I am still new to these parts and I do not fully understand what is going one but I wish to help as much as possible"

Ceres Dreamscape steps up a few steps, cautiously as she's well aware she's like a swiss army knife wielder at a shotgun show.

Nikki Robbins flinched away from her as the lady touched her.

Ceres Dreamscape holds out her box of cereal "Anyone want any?"
Willow Finchy lowers her head shaking it "I will leave you be if you wish me to but... please know that I am here to help no matter what the situations" looking back at the gentlemen she tilts her head "So what was this about?"

Saber Hayashi watched willow carefully. "My name is Talon... Talon Hayashi..." Talon raised a hand and coughed to himself. "Miss Willow, unless you can reverse shifter infection."

Ceres Dreamscape eats some of her cereal and watches, glancing at Wolfgang.
Saber Hayashi stopped finding her in his face... blinking "This is about, about... gah I cant even be asked to explain... too much of a story, and too little time to fix it before I get dragged off."

Willow Finchy lowering her head slightly as she shakes it understanding the complication of such things "I can create an Elixir that can do such things but it will take me sometime"

Wolfgang Blackthorne thinks for a moment, deciding he might head off to his spot. He didn't like how things looked, didn’t feel like being in the middle of something he didn’t understand again

Ceres Dreamscape looks at everyone else and looks down then glances at Wolfgang again.

Saber Hayashi noted the presence of another tiger, his eyes snapping to the direction... "Not necessary Miss Willow... not necessary..." Talon instantly looked on edge and swore to himself. "Jas... just think about what I said..."

Wolfgang Blackthorne looks over at Ceres catching her glance .wonders if she’s scared or just confused as everyone else

Willow Finchy looks over at Wolfgang "please escort Ceres back to town I will be ok on my own"

Wolfgang Blackthorne: "um...ok...come on...”looks over at Ceres, hoping she will follow

Ceres Dreamscape looks at willow shocked for a moment "escort?? Excuse me?" Ceres Dreamscape looks at Wolf. "I'll go with you, only cause I'm slightly confused and I think I leaned in tree sap."

Blade Tolsen moves slowly through the trees as I see a cluster of people standing around. Curiosity getting the better of me. Picking up so many scents I almost turn and leave until I see the Tigress curled up on the ground. I rush over to her with an uncanny speed.

Wolfgang Blackthorne: "ok...lets go...ebfore anythingelse happens" Wolfgang Blackthorne takes ceres's hand leads he rbackto town
Ceres Dreamscape mutters as she starts heading back to town "escort . . . my "*Mutter*

Nikki Robbins still crying softly and notes the presence of Blade with a quickly glance as she flinches away from him.

Saber Hayashi changed his stance watching the tiger move over and kneel beside 'his' bloodline. Naturally his inner tiger was jealous to the point of slashing people apart, but talon somehow managed to stay calm. "Master, please do not stand so close to her."

Willow Finchy nods sweetly to Talon as she looks over at the lady, her hand still clutching her flute. Ready for anything that will happen

Blade Tolsen glances over to the other were, not knowing of the past these too shared. "What is wrong with you, she is of our kind. If you were here you should have been helping her not just standing there." I say. Then turning back to Jas and lifting her face to meet my gaze. "You are a fighter now, remember? What is wrong?"

Saber Hayashi blinked and clenched his fists hearing those words. "Until you know he situation... keep your mouth closed."

Nikki Robbins looked away with her eyes and only giving her answer with her silence.

Blade Tolsen ignores the words of the other male as I attempt to pull Jas up to her feet. "Come on, you can do this. I know you can" I say. Trying to get some part of my words through to her. Then tension in my rising as I watch her.

Saber Hayashi threw his hands down, his fingers bursting open and his half shifted claws jutting out of the ends, his own blood now spattered over his trousers. ".... Please, let her think... away from your hands Master"

Willow Finchy jumps between the two males and shakes her flute "If you can't be civil get out of my forest"

Nikki Robbins digs her boots into the ground and fights to stay down as she mutters softly, "no one cares....if I do or not.....just...go away...."

Blade Tolsen turns to face the other male, a low growl forming in his throat. "Should I leave her to lay curled up in this forest then?" I say.

Saber Hayashi snarled hearing Jas's words... thinking to himself that he should have stayed. Insane uncontrollable shifter or not. "NO, don’t leave her there.... just let her think about me... about Tristan... about the pain she has gone through because of a mistake that I wish to make right..." Saber Hayashi twitched to himself and forced his claws away. Griping his fingers in pain

Blade Tolsen feels the tension ebbing from the other male. Trying to calm himself down I speak, "Then let me take her to Xea. She can think all she wants there. But I will not leave her here to give up."

Saber Hayashi twitched. "Xeandra has been enough help already, along with Le Rochelle..." Talon gripped his head and slowly approached Jas and blade, keeping his eyes on Jas as he kneeled in front of her... "I am not leaving again, like it or not, i am going to make your sister proud of me and you. Before she snaps and kills us both"

Nikki Robbins curls up against the wall almost having the claustrophobic feeling with all these people around her that she just wanted to go away. To leave in her natural sate...of alone.

Blade Tolsen addresses Talon. "Sir, I do not know of your affairs with this Tigress, nor is it any of my concern. But where I am from we protect our own. I will deliver her to Xea's care. From that point you and she can determine the outcome. But right now she does not need anymore struggles in her life. If you are not aware I saved her life not two days ago and will not see her driven to that again." My words flowing out as I feel the tension in my body rise. "So I ask you, allow me to take her."

Willow Finchy stomps her foot hard against the ground as she looks from Talon to the other male "If you two do not Knock it off I will have to ask you to leave the forest WITHOUT, the lady, She needs time to think and I will take her to Xeandra when SHE is ready to go back to the Town"

Nickolai Nightfire eyes widen slightly hearing the name Xeandra...this may just be interesting after all

Saber Hayashi shook his head and looked away... "Take her... Xea would see me locked up then to see her again...." Talon span on his heel and bolted, a snarl on his lips as he rushed past Nickolai

Blade Tolsen ignores the protests of Jas and picks her up into my arms. "Do not worry; my agenda is only to get you somewhere safe." I say. Eyes glinting with amusement as I use her words. Hoping for some type of response.

Nikki Robbins squirmed in him arms, "I said...leave me alone...why cant people...just give me what I want.....to be left alone...till i'm dead..."

Blade Tolsen smiles as I pull her into my arms and holds her tightly. I turn to the other woman standing there. "Do you wish to take her or do you trust that I have her best interests in mind?" I ask. The tension of tonight fading out of me.

Willow Finchy stomps her foot slightly "Take your hands off of her... She wants to stay in the place that she is at, I will take her when she is ready, and if you do not leave her now I will put you in pain by playing the highest most painful note I can on this Flute" waves it at him

Blade Tolsen a growl begins forming as I look at the woman. Thinking how easy I could reach her before the first note is played. "This is not some woman, she is Tigress. I will not leave her here to drown in her own self pity. If I say you can be sure I will get her then take my word as law."

Nikki Robbins’s squirming begins to lose it strength as her weakness she still hasn't completely overcome starts to effect her again

Willow Finchy: I do not take anyone's word as law because of the fact that this is my forest, and you will respect the woman’s wishes to stay in the spot she is in, Now LEAVE or be hurt *wiping the flute up to her mouth she breaths steadily ready to play her high note*

Nikki Robbins grunts as she is dropped to the ground when Blade leaves. So she just curls up again and stays there not looking at anyone

Nickolai Nightfire sees that the trouble was there and over, something about wanting to stay in this forest....hmmm must be something special about it, for why would anyone want to stay in someplace so dirty.....

Willow Finchy sighing slightly as she look down at lady "I understand you want to be left alone, you will be protected as long as you are in the forest"

Nickolai Nightfire looks around after hearing the woman’s comment; there must be something here for her to make one as such

Nikki Robbins ends up collapsing into exhaustion there on the floor as she goes unconscious.

The Breakup at The Hideaway

Faolann Dufaux walks in. "The place looks different. Faolann Dufaux takes a seat at the bar.
Nikki Robbins smiled as she turns around, "yeah, I've been busy."
Faolann Dufaux smiles, "I can understand with that...I've been...busy...as well."
Nikki Robbins: "I could tell? How'd the thing go in New Orleans?"
Faolann Dufaux: "Things were rough...I didn't get much sleep while I was there...oddly enough neither did, Lerochelle."
Nikki Robbins: "Awh, if you're tired maybe you should go get some sleep."
Faolann Dufaux: "I had a good rest on the way back...I'll be fine. Did I miss anything while I was gone?"
Nikki Robbins: "well...seems that girl that got attacked a few nights ago disappeared from the hospital."
Faolann Dufaux: "Oh my...I'll have to go find her sometime...I don't want anything bad to happen again."
Nikki Robbins nods, "yeah...business has been slow....only had one customer today...just a little while ago."
Faolann Dufaux: "Okay." He said slightly indifferently.
Nikki Robbins: "are...you ok..?"
Faolann Dufaux: "Yes and no. Who was your customer today?"
Nikki Robbins gave a small smile, "...it was Ra."
Faolann Dufaux: "Him...?" his gaze turned a little dark.
Nikki Robbins: "Yeah, it was Ra....ordered a Bloody Mary..." Jas looks over, "hello there. Welcome to the Hideaway."
Faolann Dufaux scowls. "Anything else?
Blade Tolsen steps into the bar and looks around. Waits for his eyes to adjust. "Thank you. We were just taking in the sights and thought we might have a drink."
Nikki Robbins smiles trying to overcome the conversation she was just having, "so...what can I get for you?"
Blade Tolsen pats the bar stool next to him. "Come Ris and take a seat."
Risika Ghost nods and sits
Blade Tolsen: "A beer for me and water for her if you don't mind."
Nikki Robbins: "No, that’s what I’m here for." Jas moved along and grabbed a beer for the guy and a glass of ice water for the girl and set them in front of their respective people, "here you are."
Risika Ghost takes the glass and smiles. "Thank you."
Faolann Dufaux looks away from Jas.
Blade Tolsen slides some cash across the bar. "Thank you."
Nikki Robbins smiled as she took the money and put it in the till but there was nothing behind it that was genuine.
Blade Tolsen takes a long pull from the beer. A grimace crossing his face at the taste. The beers in Egypt tasted more robust and flavorful. This was like flavored water. Mindful of where he was he simply smiled and set the beer back down.
Faolann Dufaux stood up and simply walked outside without a word. He didn't want to say anything with the people present.
Nikki Robbins: Jas just nodded to him as she watched Tristan walk out.
Risika Ghost sips my water looking around at the bar feeling like I’m back home in my safe place smiles to herself. Risika Ghost looks over at her master. "Master may i order an ice tea?" waits for his answer
Blade Tolsen nods. "Ma'am. Can she get an ice tea instead?"
Nikki Robbins gave a small smile, "sure." she moved over and fixed up an ice tea with the woman as she set it down in front of her before looking to the man, "you new in town?"
Blade Tolsen catches a familiar scent as the woman passes close to me. I close my eyes and breath it in. My eyes open and a smile crosses my lips. "Forgive me, I am Blade and this is Risika. And you are?" I ask. A sly look on my face.
Risika Ghost smiles a thanks and sips my tea
Nikki Robbins: "I'm Jas."
Blade Tolsen: "Well Jas, it is a pleasure meeting you.”
Nikki Robbins gives a small smiled, "It is nice to meet you as well. Guess you have to be new. I pretty much know everyone around here."
Blade Tolsen nods. "Yes, I am from Egypt. I just flew in a few days ago."
Nikki Robbins: "Ah, Egypt. I've never been out of the country...”
Blade Tolsen smiles thinking about Egypt and his home. "It is a wonderful place. You would love to run through the jungles" I say. Looking to see if there would be a reaction.
Risika Ghost nods in the same boat as Nikki
Faolann Dufaux: "Excuse me...Jaslene...I need to talk to you...now..."
Nikki Robbins looked to Tristan, "I still have customers....." she wanted to go but this was her job as she looked to the man, "running through jungles...that does sound exciting..."
Faolann Dufaux sighs. "Fine...just give me a call when you are free then."
Blade Tolsen looks towards the man and then back towards Jas. "If this is an issue we can leave."
Nikki Robbins: "No...it's fine. I can....talk to him later...”

-------------- Sometime later ------------------

Nikki Robbins glances to Xea, "excuse me just a moment..." Jas rushes into the bar room of the bar as she quickly dials Tristan on her phone. She paces as she waits for him to answer his phone. Her anxiousness at its peak.
Faolann Dufaux sits up in bed and looks for his pants, the ring tone blaring. He quickly opens his phone not seeing who the call is from. "Hello."
Nikki Robbins: "Tristan? You told me to call you when I was able to talk. They just left. Are you coming back here or what?"
Faolann Dufaux rubs his eyes. "I'm sorry, I went to go take a nap and lost track of time. Forgive me for earlier...I was just...stressed."
Nikki Robbins: "Well what is it? What's wrong with you? You've acted strange ever since you came back from the trip with Chelle. Tell me what's going on."
Faolann Dufaux: "Well to put it bluntly, Lerochelle is in heat...I went to New Orleans without her knowing so I could protect her. That’s not a problem is it?" He asked sternly.
Nikki Robbins: Jas didn't know what to say, "I uh...I don't mind you protecting her...but...Chelle...in heat? What does that have to do with anything? What does that have to do with you?"
Faolann Dufaux: "I'm the second...and we don't have a skoll to send with her...I was only doing what I thought was right...and yes she's in heat...I didn't want random wolves to be fighting over her in my absence."
Nikki Robbins: "Well that’s all well and good by why doesn’t any of this change you in the first place? Why were you so desperate to talk to me if you were simply protecting your alpha?!"
Faolann Dufaux: "Cause I haven't talked to you in three nights, Jaslene. Forgive me if I wanted some time, and to just blow me off like that...I know they're your customers but for about five minutes you couldn't just speak with me alone?"
Nikki Robbins: "Tristan! You say you have work you have to do right? Well this is my job! I have to do this for myself! I didn't want to blow you off! I wanted to be with you more than anything in the world! For you just to assume I didn’t is thoughtless and stupid! I've only ever loved you! I would NEVER turn away from you even when I have to work! My thoughts are always for you!"
Lerochelle Destiny can be heard groaning on Tristan's side of the phone
Nikki Robbins: Jas stopped talking as she heard the groan, ".....you're....not alone....are you...?"
Faolann Dufaux: "No...I'm not...that was the Alpha. Jas...I...I...don't know how to put this, and I'm the one at fault now...I can't make you happy...and it's only been rough on you since I came in the picture...and here I am getting mad at you when I should be mad at myself...Jaslene...mo ghaol...I'm letting you go..."
Nikki Robbins: Jas's voice was silent. Softly, the sound of her crying could be heard, "so that’s it now....letting me go...how "noble" of you.....You...You who promised never to hurt me like this. NEVER to leave me. I knew it. All along I knew it. How wrong you were to tell me you're not like the others. You're worse than the others. Worse than Saber....I'd rather die....that to have faced this with you. You let me go....no.....I let myself go. You won’t be seeing me ever again....have a "wonderful" life...without me." Jas hung up.
Faolann Dufaux hears the dial tone ring in his ears for a sec as his phone disconnects him. "What have I done?"

---------------Sometime later--------------

Faolann Dufaux: "JASLENE!"
Ayane Yuhara points" back there . . do you hear that?"
Nikki Robbins hears his voice but does nothing as she moves into the freezer...locking the door behind her."
Faolann Dufaux: "I cause that...." Tristan looked down. "Jaslene...I know you're in there...please...Jaslene..."
Ayane Yuhara peeks in being nosy "what's goin on?"
Nikki Robbins doesn't answer. She slowly sits on the cold floor of the freezer as she looks to her boot. Slowly she reaches down and pulls out the dagger she keeps tucked in there.
Faolann Dufaux: "Ayane...Leave...I must talk to her alone."
Ayane Yuhara walks out
Faolann Dufaux beats on the door. "Jas, please listen to me...I'm sorry...I don't know what else I can say...but I've never stopped loving you...its just...I can't make you happy...I'm never gonna be able to be the man that you will need...I've seen that now...seen that in how I've been...and the people I'm around."
Lerochelle Destiny leans against the outside wall and sees Ayane walk out "how bad is it?"
Nikki Robbins still cried silently as she listened. In her mind however, she had all ready reasoned that there would never be anyone for her. Cause no one could ever love someone like her. She looked to the dagger in her hand....the one she had specially made...out of silver.
Lerochelle Destiny swears softly hearing what’s going on inside. Lerochelle Destiny nods going to the end of the hideaway and leaning against the wall
Ayane Yuhara leans up against the wall next to Chelle
Faolann Dufaux: "Jas...please don't make me wrench this door from its place...I don't want you to be sad anymore, but all this pain...stems from me...I was there when saber came back and attacked you. I failed to protect you from him when he turned you...and now...I've broken your heart once again...It's me that Amaia flirted with and made you mad...and its me who has betrayed you...I can understand if you hate me and I will take the blame for the shit that I have done...but please don't do this to your self Jaslene."
Nikki Robbins ignored his words. To Jas now they were just an annoying sound buzzing in her ears. She raised the dagger and drove it into her side up to the handle. She screamed out in pain because of the silver's effects on her.
Lerochelle Destiny closes her eyes letting all her shields down, twin trailing clear drops running down her cheek as she shifts her eyes into her human form and looks at the wall and gasps "oh my god..."
Faolann Dufaux: "JASLENE!" Tristan wrenched the door from its hinges and rushes in to see her. Taking the knife from her side. "Why Jas...why..."
Lerochelle Destiny shifts her hands partway, the bones popping loudly as she starts clawing at the wall ripping pieces of wood out and stone making a hole big enough for her to climb through
Nikki Robbins lays weakly in the floor not even looking at Tristan as she speak weakly, "why....do you care....?"
Lerochelle Destiny takes one look here yes back to wolf amber and yells out loudly "WE NEED A TIGER!!!"
Faolann Dufaux: "Cause I've never stopped caring...I promised to be your guardian. Though I've broken so many promises to you...I'm still here, Jaslene...I'm not worth all this pain to you...” Faolann Dufaux feels his tears rolling down his cheeks and can do nothing to stop them.
Ayane Yuhara follows Chelle
Nikki Robbins tried to reply but she was getting weaker> her eyes half lidded.
Lerochelle Destiny steps backwards out the freezer and slams into someone behind her looking back she gasps
Faolann Dufaux: "Jaslene no...STAY WITH ME...DON'T DIE..." He takes her up in his arms.
Blade Tolsen steps into the room and pushes the man out of the way. "Let me get her to shift. She is one of my kind." I say and kneel down by the fading Jas.
Lerochelle Destiny puts a hand on Tristan’s shoulder pulling at him gently
Faolann Dufaux nods to him and hands her to Blade. "What have I done, Lerochelle?"
Lerochelle Destiny shakes her head wrapping her arms around him gently
Blade Tolsen pouring my energy into Jas I will her change. Never before have I felt such utter pain radiating off a woman. My eyes lock with hers as I force her shift.
Faolann Dufaux trembles the tears never ceasing the blood stained dagger still in his hands.
Ayane Yuhara looks at the blood, the mood and emotions of everyone and can't understand . . .
Blade Tolsen: a low growl begins in the back of my throat as I press my hand firmly against her wound. "Shift damn you..." I roar and I feel my body starting to change.
Lerochelle Destiny slips the dagger out of his hand and lets it drop tot he floor sticking into the wood with a thud
Faolann Dufaux: "I'm a monster....Lerochelle..."
Nikki Robbins feels her shift being forced now. As weak as she is and as new as she still is the shift comes easy. Her body begins to change and grow and contort. Fur forms quickly across her body.
Lerochelle Destiny holds him tighter to her "no your not... this isn’t your fault.."
Faolann Dufaux: "I wish...I could believe that too."
Lerochelle Destiny pulls him out of the doorway of the freezer backing away from them as they shift the clear liquid from both splattering Tristan’s back and her arms
Blade Tolsen lies down next to Jas and begins licking softly at her wound. Watching as then it begins to lowly close up.
Nikki Robbins soft saddened growls sound of the tigress’s mouth.
Blade Tolsen moves to lay my head across the tigress neck. Feeling her pain coursing through me.
Faolann Dufaux: "Lerochelle...I think we should go...Blade...watch over her for me...I've failed to make her happy...but please...don't let her do this again...”
Blade Tolsen growls softly but doesn't move.
Lerochelle Destiny nods and let’s go of him stepping back further
Ayane Yuhara grins "okies . . . well . . . see ya". Gets bored and skips out.
Faolann Dufaux steps away from the tigers and looks toward the door to step out.
Lerochelle Destiny tugs on Tristan’s cloak her hands in fists and her shields all down her energy pouring through the room stifling even her
Faolann Dufaux: "What is it, Lerochelle?"
Faolann Dufaux feels it starting to get harder to breathe. "Lerochelle...what's wrong..."
Blade Tolsen stands and nudges the tigress with my nose. Pushing her to get up.
Lerochelle Destiny gives him her full weight of hr gaze for a moment before turning and running outside. Lerochelle Destiny braces herself against the tree on her arms breathing heavily
Faolann Dufaux dashes out after her trying to catch his breath, coughing hard. "What was that ...~*cough*~ for?"
Lerochelle Destiny grips the tree with her half formed hands her claws digging in "I had to get to her... went through the wall...“ Looks around for anyone nearby wide eyed and suddenly hiding her hands behind her back against the tree turning
Faolann Dufaux looks down. "I...I couldn't save her this time...I really am the one to blame for all of this...I broke her heart. Lerochelle, who am I anymore?"
Lerochelle Destiny shakes her head softly and sees the two tigers emerging from the bar
Faolann Dufaux continues to look down in shame.
Nikki Robbins: The tigress doesn’t even look in Tristan’s direction as she growls angrily
Blade Tolsen growls loudly then turns and heads off into the woods. Looking back to ensure the tigress is following.
Lerochelle Destiny looks at Jas tears streaming down her face amid the rain "Jas.. I... "
Faolann Dufaux: "It's no use...don't blame yourself for this either. Lerochelle...let's go..." Almost choking on those last words. "Home."

New Orleans Day 2

Lerochelle Destiny sighs leaning on her elbows in the balcony railing watching the stars come out and the lights turn on in the neighboring houses

Kirra Little: slips in from working her shift at the club, tossing the keys on the shelf before kicking her shoes off and heading upstairs

Lerochelle Destiny turns her back to the railing leaning on it and facing the balcony door hearing someone coming up the stairs

Kirra Little would frown ever so slightly not finding the Ulfric in the house still her scent lingered. She would glance about the bed room before slipping outside onto the balcony to take a look about for her the doors closing silently behind her

Sabastian Kira: there was a knock on the outer doors the sound was firm not demanding as I grinning softly at the bottom of the stair listening...

Lerochelle Destiny turns her head seeing an unknown male approaching the lupa's house

Kirra Little sighs with relief having found the Ulfric casting her a smile before hearing the knock, damn she just got off work she got no peace, mumbling softly she would march back down stairs to see who was pestering her at the moment

Lerochelle Destiny turns her other head seeing warpath coming as well and her energy spikes before she slams her shields around her as tight as she can

Kirra Little calling over her shoulder. “Good evening Chelle feel free to join me downstairs."

Warpath Blackadder stands there watching the vampire standing outside his Lupa's house

Lerochelle Destiny takes a deep breath of the night air and nods, more to herself and slips back inside and down the stairs

Sabastian Kira: I chucked softly and offered the steel plate and cover to her with a grin ~ I did promise you a steak Kirra if you remember I know some don't but I figured you Might want it at least seared so its only fire touched . I do keep My promises...

Warpath Blackadder: "Bring one for me? I'm sure I could find a steak for you?”

Lerochelle Destiny slips the door open enough for her to slip through and closes it leaning against the door jam “Bastian... I didn’t recognize you”

Warpath Blackadder: "greetings Ulfric Chelle"

Lerochelle Destiny smiles at warpath "greeting Ulfric"

Warpath Blackadder: "Sleep well?"

Kirra Little steps outside her head tilting ever so slightly in question as the door is shut behind her concern for Ulfric Chelle etching her eyes knowing the situation was an explosive one as her eyes drift from the vampire to her Ulfric and back again. She would incline her head ever so slightly a smile tilting her lips as long slender fingers coiled about the plate narrowing her eyes on her Ulfric before she voiced softly. “Thank you... Bastian was it? Most kind." She could smell the warm blooded meat and her mouth would water at the thought of tasting it

Lerochelle Destiny shakes her head “not really... “she didn’t mention that Tristan had been sitting below the balcony all night

Sabastian Kira: I turned an ice blue gaze to the Ulfric and grinned softly the aura around ME never changing it was a warm swirl of calm pleasure as I spoke in a warm husked tone better suited to a bedroom then the streets but I no longer had to pretend a damn thing or even remotely act cared ~ Mais Non I had no idea you would be here, Then again I made the promise to the she Wolf not to you

Warpath Blackadder: "lupa I just came by to tell you I'm meeting the master tonight, the real one"

Lerochelle Destiny's eyebrow quirked up at the last of the comment but remained silent

Sabastian Kira: I smiled softly and shrugged ~ Oui do have fun pup after all who did you challenge for your position oh that is right the previous ulfric had left hadn't He ... convenient for you no doubt ... it was nice to see you Chelle again ... I assume you are in town about the shifters Missing . I am truly sorry I think Nykia has done all she could to prevent it but a fox was taken right form the Kiss...

Warpath Blackadder: "Ulfric Chelle, I do hope you are enjoying our hospitality".....turns back to the vamp "I will accept any challenge from any wolf who wants my place. And I am not pretending to be anything else"

Lerochelle Destiny: "missing shifters?" she frowns glancing at warpath

Warpath Blackadder: "yes, someone" looks at Bastian "is stealing submissive shifters"

Lerochelle Destiny: "only submissives?"

Kirra Little blinks slowly seeing this escalating a sigh spills from her lips. She would take the steak into the house closing the door behind her so she can put it away

Warpath Blackadder: "That’s what I have hear, no wolves so far, But a snake and a fox, and something attacked a leopard"

Kirra Little deciding she has no desire to slip back out into make ego and pissing contests she unwraps the steak fines a knife and fork settling on the couch to eat

Warpath Blackadder: "It’s why the pack is on edge"

Sabastian Kira: oh the wolves are not going Missing so I am sure the ulfric really cares little of it ... ~ I turned to Warpath again and grinned softly I still was far far to calm about it ~ Mmm I did as I was asked to keep a Dear Friend safe She wanted to be able to interact without issues, what has changed is My desire to play with the minds of those around Me constantly...

Sabastian Kira: Bone Soir all of your three. I have things to attend to

Lerochelle Destiny looks the question at warpath

Kirra Little cutting into the bloody still warm meat she slips the bite into her mouth between parted red lips allowing the juices to slide along her tongue in an explosion of flavor chewing slowly as she enjoys the treat

Warpath Blackadder: "He doesn’t like me much I think, though I have never had any personal dealings with him"

Lerochelle Destiny nods slowly "I see"

Kirra Little hums softly to drown out the conversation as she cuts into the steak again taking another bite a low growl of pleasure spilling from her lips as she devours the sweet rich red meat having no need to visit the dinner tonight and wondering how he knew exactly how she liked it

Warpath Blackadder: "Well I hope you sort things out with...your...experience, I'm off to meet with Nykia"

Lerochelle Destiny takes a deep breath as the scent of the meat reaches her and she stiffens seeing Tristan approach frowning softly

Faolann Dufaux: "I think I fell asleep."

Lerochelle Destiny nods knowing he was down here all night long

Warpath Blackadder nods to the Freki, "I'd stay and talk, but I have a meeting to attend"

Faolann Dufaux: "I'm sorry," Tristan lowers his head. "There was no excuse in me passing out."

Lerochelle Destiny frowns harder at that “you did not have to stay awake all night"

Faolann Dufaux shakes his head. "Even still. Is everything still alright?"

Lerochelle Destiny shakes her head softly "maybe I should have made you Hati or Skoll..."

Faolann Dufaux looks at her stunned. "Why...why would you say this now?"

Lerochelle Destiny smiles "you are so damned protective of me"

Faolann Dufaux: "Well uh...umm." Tristan blushes as he scratches his cheek. "I...yea...umm...."

Lerochelle Destiny steps closer to him keeping her energy tight against her and looks up at him slightly not saying anything but her eyes wince as her wolf stretches against her shields towards him

Faolann Dufaux: "I've just been...I don't know how to say it...I just feel closer to you ever since the start of all this."

Lerochelle Destiny whispers leaning in close to him not touching him her voice deeper almost "yeah... me too"

Kirra Little finishes off the last of the steak she would raise tossing the foil away and washing the plate knife and fork before drying the plate and slipping outside once more to the slightly cooler New Orleans' breeze.

Faolann Dufaux: "But I don't know if it's my beast drawing me closer or if it's my own heart...I don't know where to draw the lines between instinct or my humanity anymore...I just...I just want your happiness to be fulfilled."

Kirra Little would flicker her eyes over the two knowing the Ulfric would be safe she casts them a smile. “You are welcome to go in you know Tristan, Ulfric Chelle do excuse me I must return this, I will be back in a while."

Lerochelle Destiny nods to the lupa her face closing down and closing her eyes "why does it have to be either your beast or your humanity Tristan... they should be the same thing... they are still two parts of one whole... you"

Faolann Dufaux: "But how do I explain all of this, Lerochelle? I don't know who I am anymore. Lerochelle...I can't breathe while everything I do is useless...I just don't know what to do anymore..."

Lerochelle Destiny nods stepping back "I talked to the Rex last night after you fell asleep... he answered some questions for me" holds up her hand to ward off the comment she knew he would make " he is perfectly safe from my.. advances... so don’t bother"

Faolann Dufaux: "Yes ma'am." He said keeping an understanding thought process.

Lerochelle Destiny smiles turning and leaning against the wall then standing back up and pacing as she spoke "I have two choices at this point Tristan... " purses her lips " I can either keep ... going cold turkey as I have been... and run the risk that grows higher every day of being claimed by someone not of my choosing... or my will" takes a deep breath before continuing

Faolann Dufaux looks on at her, rubbing the scar on his finger that was just starting to scab over.

Lerochelle Destiny: "or... I can choose someone to ease my... " can’t think of a way to say it politely so she says it fast " to ease the physical burden by having sex with me till it either passes or I find a mate"

Faolann Dufaux: "I...I want to say the words that won't come...yet don't want to lose what I've finally regained...I want to become all that you need, but how can I when my heart is torn in twain. I am lost to my own confusion and cannot see what is to be anymore...all I can truly say...is I could never stand to see you with anyone else who isn't me." Tristan looks at her a tear rolling down his cheek. "Lerochelle...I...want" His word trails off.

Lerochelle Destiny nods her bottom lip quivering slightly " the mate that I choose would have to be alright with several things about me Tristan... I have offered to be a donor to Ra every night, I may take more marks... that is something that I know you can never agree to..." takes a shuddering breath

Lerochelle Destiny takes another breath "there is something else you should know Tristan..."

Lerochelle Destiny: "Xea called me today... a new shifter has moved into town.. a tiger.." she left the rest unsaid

Faolann Dufaux: "What is it? A...new tiger?" Tristan looks away. "I can suffer through the marks...hell if I must I will watch him do it...but don't give up on me...please Lerochelle...I will learn to change for you. As for Jas...maybe...maybe it is for the best...for her to be with..." He chokes up on those last words.

Lerochelle Destiny shakes her head looking down before looking him in the eye " tonight I will meet the rest of the pack here, Tristan, It I s my right as Ulfric.. and my duty... "

Warpath Blackadder: "would you to like to join me at the Lupanar?"

Faolann Dufaux looks down defeated. "Yes....my alpha."

Lerochelle Destiny turns to warpath and nods slowly " it would be my honor Ulfric"

Faolann Dufaux: "Am I to join or must I stay where I am?"

Warpath Blackadder: "Please would appreciate your presence"

Warpath Blackadder: "You are guests"

Lerochelle Destiny nods " of course you may come Tristan"

Faolann Dufaux: "Thank you kind Master Ulfric."

Lerochelle Destiny smiles seeing something familiar " the same house..."

Warpath Blackadder: "please make yourselves at home"

Faolann Dufaux remains standing looking kind of out of it.

Lerochelle Destiny takes a seat on the couch nodding "thank you"

Warpath Blackadder: "Freki, are you Ok?"

Warpath Blackadder: "You dont look like you slept"

Faolann Dufaux shakes his head to get back to reality. "I did but it wasnt till late...I'll be fine...thank you for your concerns." He bows respectfully.

Lerochelle Destiny eyes slide sideways to the far window and she sits up straighter seeing someone out there

Warpath Blackadder smell his own Freki

Warpath Blackadder: "its Ryu, nothing to worry about"


Ryuichi Violet continues wandering..following a scent that he could tell grew closer to his Ulfric and he let out a slight chuff opening the door his eyes scanning over the new occupants.

Lerochelle Destiny nods turning to look at the man walking in through the door

Warpath Blackadder: "Greetings Freki"

Ryuichi Violet: Greetings Ulfric.

Lerochelle Destiny stands slowly, eying him carefully

Warpath Blackadder stands an waits for his Freki to greet him

Faolann Dufaux notices the Freki's delay to formality/

Lerochelle Destiny 's nostrils flare slightly at the sight and smell of the blood on him she licks her lips slowly keeping her place by the couch

Ryuichi Violet wanders over to his Ulfric and licks over his bottom lip trying to hide the fact he was a tad on edge

Faolann Dufaux rests his hands to his sides.

Warpath Blackadder scents behind his Freki's ears , his scent one of discomfort and edginess

Warpath Blackadder: "Ryu, meet Tristan Freki of the Minne Sten, and his Ulfric Lerochelle of the Minne Sten, they are our guests"

Warpath Blackadder: "Tristan, Lerochelle, this is my Freki, Ryu"

Faolann Dufaux nods to Ryu. "Greetings Freki, Ryu."

Lerochelle Destiny nods in greeting then glances up realizing she still had her hat on "where are my manners Ulfric" she reaches up and pulls off the hat shaking out her hair

Ryuichi Violet Nods his head "Greetings Ulfric Lerochelle, and Freki Tristan." he tightens his jaw slightly

Faolann Dufaux notices the pheromones being flung and shakes his head of them and looks down.

Lerochelle Destiny smiles softly " Ryu, Freki"

Warpath Blackadder's own heart beat rises a bit , his Lupa no where around to take the edge off

Faolann Dufaux takes a few defensive back steps towards his alpha.

Ryuichi Violet stands rigid forcing himself to take a slightly more relaxed stance as he eyes over the two before turning his attention about the house

Lerochelle Destiny looks at him hard frowning slightly clearly telling him to step back her energy sparking slightly

Lerochelle Destiny: (slaps the chat lag)

Warpath Blackadder inhales a deep breath forcing his beast to drop back inside

Faolann Dufaux fights the temptation to disobey and takes half the steps he took to move the first time.

Lerochelle Destiny 's eyes slide back to Ryu " and what did you kill tonight, Freki?"
Faolann Dufaux: "So at the risk of sounding rude...the silence is starting to bite at me."

Warpath Blackadder: "yes I am struck by the .....unwashed state of you Ryu"

Ryuichi Violet shifts his eyes averting them to his Ulfric's feet "I uh..h.." furrows his brows slightly in his half drunken state "Can't exactly remember.."

Warpath Blackadder looks at Ryu with a raised brow "you don't remember?"

Faolann Dufaux frowns not liking the situation.

Warpath Blackadder rolls the silver adorned ebony sword cane in his fingers slowly feeling the tension levels start to rise especially on the visiting Freki

Faolann Dufaux: "I'm sorry..." Tristan tries shaking his head to regain his senses once more.

Ryuichi Violet Furrows his brows together "I think...it was a deer.."

Lerochelle Destiny takes a few steps forward towards ryu rolling her bottom lip into her mouth and sucking on it slightly

Faolann Dufaux: "I'm sorry but is there any way for him to clean up and meet us again?"

Lerochelle Destiny turns slightly towards tristan "he comes before two ulfrics with blood on him.. and you want him to clean up first?"

Ryuichi Violet swallows roughly his eyes moving over the visiting ulfric as his nostrils flair slightly his chest beginning to heave

Faolann Dufaux: "I'm sorry...but I...I'll keep my thoughts to myself...Just don't think the scent blood is good for the current situation."

Warpath Blackadder calms himself , thinking of his own lupa , her soft white fur her scent her soft voice and softer touch

Warpath Blackadder's cell phone rings

Warpath Blackadder: "excuse me"

Faolann Dufaux: "Yes sir."

Lerochelle Destiny takes the few steps up to Ryu, not touching, not yet her voice the slightest whisper as she licks her lips " may i?" eying the blood on his chest

Warpath Blackadder steps outside to answer in privacy

Faolann Dufaux: "Lerochelle..." He says softly to himself.

Ryuichi Violet averts his eyes to his Ulfric before his attention is shifted back to her as he swallows roughly again as he nods slightly..

Faolann Dufaux clenches his fists his anger rising.

Warpath Blackadder's phone call must have been serious as he simply hung up and sprinted for his motorcycle

Lerochelle Destiny looks up at his face for a moment as she slowly reaches forward bracing herself on his hips her head moving closer to his chest

Faolann Dufaux: "Fuck this shit." He says quietly...almost tranquil. He moves up and pulls her from him.

Lerochelle Destiny grips Ryu's hips tighter not wanting to let go as she snarls

Ryuichi Violet bites at his inner cheek as as his heart rate quickens, his nostrils flaring again as his eyes jerk up to her Freki...though he doesn't move only tightens his jaw watching the other male

Faolann Dufaux: "NO!" He says demanding. "I'm tired of this fucking torment." He wrenches her away.

Lerochelle Destiny falls against Tristan her fingers letting go of Ryu's hips as he pulls her backwards

Ryuichi Violet remains still as he watches them his nostrils still flaring as he tips his head to the side letting it crack

Faolann Dufaux wraps his left arm around her and places his other hand on his silver katana, in case Ryu wished to attack. "I'm sorry...but I cannot stand for this any longer."

Lerochelle Destiny growls softly against him her eyes focusing on ryu still, her hand reaches out to touch him again slowly

Ryuichi Violet scanned his eyes over the freki..down over the katana as his gaze averted back to the source of the heavy pheromones wafting about the room

Faolann Dufaux: "Enough Lerochelle. You're killing me slowly every moment you reach for this man...your beast is blinding you and I can't stand how you would just let me fall away from this expecting it to just happen." He looks to Ryu. "I don't want to fight...but I refuse to yield and let her become someone else's."

Lerochelle Destiny stills by inches her energy drawing inward " you don't want me Tristan... "

Faolann Dufaux: "Don't tell me what I want and don't want...when you can't even be honest with yourself...you call this duty what about your duty to your own pack...what about us...what about me...do I mean so little to you."

Lerochelle Destiny whirls in his arms facing him " i am saving you and Jas.. i .. " sighs slumping slightly

Ryuichi Violet clears his throat tightening his lips "I'll...leave you two..to discussions on matters, that do not concern me. If you want me, I'll be at the bar.I trust Ulfric showed you where that is.." half shifts his back cracking it in place before slipping past them and out into the swamp

Faolann Dufaux frowns. "Did I ever ask for you to save us...did I ever...ask for you to just let me go like this...Lerochelle...I can't go on living to lose this...I can't go on without you..."

Lerochelle Destiny eyes widen as she looks up at him "what are you saying Tristan..?"

Faolann Dufaux: "How much clearer can I be...I will take up the mantle set before me...and take the spot your beast chose for me."

Lerochelle Destiny frowns slightly " but what about..."

Faolann Dufaux: "For now...I will find a way to let her know...until then...I want to keep this between us, but Lerochelle, please don't do that shit to me again...I cannot and will not stand to see you with another man."

Lerochelle Destiny nods a tear slipping down her cheek " i don't know how much longer i can last"

Faolann Dufaux embraces her. "I couldn't allow it to go on...I'm sorry I should have stepped in sooner."

Lerochelle Destiny wraps her arms around him and nods " we both were.. dealing with.. shit" her voice catches " we should be getting.. back..."

Faolann Dufaux: "Do you really want to go back to Wood Bourne now?"

Lerochelle Destiny blinks slowly " do you think me staying here with all these wolves would be better?"

Faolann Dufaux chuckles softly. "good point...lets go then. I have to speak with Wolfgang as well its probably best if we go now."

Lerochelle Destiny nods slowly knowing that the trip in her jet with him beside her would be hard enough

Faolann Dufaux: "Do you wish to inform the Ulfric here?"

Lerochelle Destiny pulls back and grabs a note pad off the side table and a pen scribbling a note on it and setting it on his coffee table "this should do"

Faolann Dufaux nods. "As you wish, my alpha."

Lerochelle Destiny turns and looks at him something new in her eyes, darker " not for much longer..." she shakes her head softly

Faolann Dufaux: "No matter rank...no matter the situation, I will respect you as my alpha...as my equal...I'm a little odd I know...but you deserve nothing less of who you are."

Lerochelle Destiny looks up to him and nods " i know.. i think that's why... " trails off with a soft smile

Faolann Dufaux smiles in return as he leans closer to her.

Lerochelle Destiny slips her arms around his waist looking up at him


Faolann Dufaux looks deeply in her eyes with passion before leaning even closer to her to softly kiss her lips.

Lerochelle Destiny 's hands grip at his back a bit before she sighs kissing him back, her arms sliding along his back under his cloak

Faolann Dufaux feels a lone tear slip down his cheek. He breaks away from the kiss slowly. "Let's go home."

Lerochelle Destiny sees the tear but doesn't comment but nods slowly looking down

Faolann Dufaux: "What is it?"

Faolann Dufaux: "Whats on your mind, Lerochelle."

Lerochelle Destiny looks up at him " things that i am making you lose.. give up..."


Faolann Dufaux: "One thing the old woman of my last pack taught me...before I was left alone. All things happen for a reason...our losses our gains...and our miss chances...I know full well what I am going to lose...and I made the choice to lose that. Lerochelle that should not be your burden.""

Lerochelle Destiny nods " but it is i and my beast.. that have put you in this situation.."

Faolann Dufaux: "It will be OK in the end, Lerochelle. Lets start heading out now...we have a long flight ahead of us...but at least this time it will be better than riding in the cargo."

Lerochelle Destiny chuckles, she couldn't help it "is that where you were?" she starts for the door

Faolann Dufaux laughs. "Yep...luckily I'm used to hunting so hiding from the hunter wasn't to hard." He gives her a wink as he follows after her.

Lerochelle Destiny: "i wonder where Wolfgang was hiding at... and where he has been..." steps out into the night and takes a deep breath, her beast was still riding her, but the decision had been made so it wasn't too hard

------------------------------------------------------------

Lerochelle Destiny gets into town and hails a taxi pulling her hat back on her head

Faolann Dufaux: "Why the hat?"

Lerochelle Destiny shrugs " i like it " and grins up at him

Faolann Dufaux smiles. "Alright...wasn't sure if you wanted to keep a low profile. Cause a man walking around with a katana and a black cloak, kinda breaks that for you."

Lerochelle Destiny smiles and reaches for his katana and the edge of his cloak

Faolann Dufaux: "I will need to change when I get back...any suggestions on what I should wear?"

Lerochelle Destiny shook her head and loosened the knot on the katana to his belt slightly allowing it more swing and tipped it up tucking the cloak around it and grabbing his arm pressing it against the katana so he held it in place "there, now not so conspicuous"

Faolann Dufaux grins. "Thank you."

Lerochelle Destiny smiles and hails a taxi this time it worked " see easier ..." and chuckled softly slipping into the back and telling the driver to go to the tarmac

Faolann Dufaux follows suit sitting next to her. He takes a hold of her hand gently.

Lerochelle Destiny laces her fingers in his, her hand hot to the touch and leaned her head on his shoulder

Faolann Dufaux smiles softly all the way to the Tarmac staying rather quiet.

Lerochelle Destiny slips out of the taxi when they get there paying the man generously and keeping her fingers laced in his as she slips out a soft smile playing on her lips as she boards her plane and finds her seat

Faolann Dufaux finds his seat next to hers and gently lifts her hand to kiss the back of it. "You should get some rest on the way there."

Lerochelle Destiny nods snuggling up against him the urge to touch him now was something she was unable to resist her eye lids drooping slightly before they had even taken off

Faolann Dufaux drifts to sleep as he hears the jet's engines ignite.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Lerochelle Destiny wakes with a start at the ping and the pilot's announcement that they had arrived

Faolann Dufaux groggily shakes the sleep from his eyes. "Wow that was quick."

Lerochelle Destiny grins softly "its my private jet Tristan... "

Faolann Dufaux: "And its a lot better riding next to you than on some random box."

Lerochelle Destiny chuckles and bumps her head against his shoulder before standing and slipping out into the aisle

Faolann Dufaux stands next to her. "It's only been one night I've been away...but it feels like its been so long since we've been in Wood Bourne."

Lerochelle Destiny nods "yes it does... "she steps from the plane and takes a breath of the higher altitude air, crisper and drier

Faolann Dufaux: "It feels a lot more like we are at home here."

Lerochelle Destiny: "it is our home, our territory, of course it does..."

Faolann Dufaux looks on and remembers he still has something he must do. "Lerochelle...I have...I have to go do something still."

Lerochelle Destiny nods slowly looking sad for a moment " i do too... and i doubt it will help anything for me to be with you."

Faolann Dufaux: "No this...I must do alone. Be safe..and promise me I will see you once again when this is all done."

Lerochelle Destiny nods "i promise, I need to get unpacked and may visit the woods for a bit"

Faolann Dufaux hugs her. "Then I will see you later, Lerochelle."

Lerochelle Destiny wraps her arms around him wishing she could cause him less pain instead of more and not knowing what else could be said

Faolann Dufaux: "I'll be OK. Don't worry OK?"

Lerochelle Destiny nods and lets him go giving him a soft smile

Faolann Dufaux smiles in return and walks in the direction of the bar.
