*Dria shrugs*
Dria: My race don't do family names. We take on titles to define us.

*Kara smiles and strokes Maiev's hair again*
*closes her eyes and kisses the top of Maiev's head again*

*Daveth wanders to the edge of the forest and stares into the woodlands*
D: You have need, Watchman?
*kneels down and rests a hand on his maul*
I would not call for you otherwise, Daveth.

*Harador walks over to Izriel and Rita's room and knocks on the door*
Rita?

I prefer beauty in people, rather than nature. And I said ouch because I haven't been turned down that hard before.
*Smiles to put Thaddeus at ease*
And I just asked if you kids wanted some time alone. not that I was leaving. Oh, and why are you hunting this Ghoul, by the way. You seem to be a bit edgy about it. I'm going to guess you're either like this for every Ghoul, which is efficient, or you two have history.

*Izy twitches slightly, and lifts her hand aimlessly*

~

*Maiev sucky sucky*

*Rita watches Izriel hand twitch, then runs to the door.*
Rita: Harador! S-something is wrong with Izy!
*Pulls him in regardless of what he says.*
Rita: You-you can help her? Please?!
*She looks pleading, and her eyes are dark blue.*

Hmm... not many people around. Wait. Is that-
Gaunter!

*v*
Agh.. Yet you look so human... *notices marilania yawn*
If you excuse me..

*marilania*
Night. Sorry, long drive Dira. Why you not land at local space port... *takes his hand*

*v*
Thought you never ask. *teasingly*

*marilania *
Hey... Save that for later. *smiles. Night all*

*walks into aide room.and teleports up and both head to her suite as "good" freinds*

...

*maria*
Night. Got some work to do tomorrow. And Can you give that to morri when she wakes up...

*hands her a well meaning apology letter in envelope written in finest doctor writing*

*waves and heads off to bed*

...

*Marla does whatever needed and works on gharn until needed and then does med bay stuff when garn sorted out*

*Thaddeus nods in understanding*
Thaddeus: I would like for all of my friends to accompany me on this walk.
*He frowns as he realizes his friend count is at 2*
Thaddeus: The rest of them are dead. Why do I hunt this ghoul? I have a strong belief that she... it... is the same Ghoul that murdered my family ten years ago. I've searched restlessly for this Ghoul but it has evaded death countless times over. It has taken everything from me.
*He thinks of his family and countless friends*

*Cal waves Maria away and continues working on Gharn who has flatlined once already*


*Dria smiles weakly*
Dria: Technically, you look like my kind, as we were here first.
*She waves them off*

I... See. I'll help where I can, but I don't like violence very much.
*Smiles slightly, then it fades as Thaddeus frowns/thinks*
You've lost a lot, I can tell. I can't imagine what it's like to lose your family.

~

*Izriel eventually opens her eyes, and stares blankly at her now different skin colour*
*Grieving on the inside, and hasn't noticed Rita or anything else in the room yet*

*Thaddeus shakes his head immediately at her offer to help*
//"No more bloodshed."//
Thaddeus: No. You will stay safe. I will not allow you to be put into danger. I can't- I will not lose anymore friends.
*Thaddeus composes himself and smiles bravely*
Thaddeus: I shall keep the room safe for all of its inhabitants. Even if it means losing my life.
*He stands tall and determined*
Thaddeus: I will not drag anyone else down with me.

*I stiffen*
And if you sacrifice yourself? Think of what it would do to me and Elise to see you fall!
*mentally hoping Elise backs her up*

Oh please, I can't die. Well, I can, but I always come back. You don't have to do this by yourself.
*Smiles slightly*
And I don't want you to die. Not until I at least feth you.

*Rita looks at Izriel, and quickly walks over to her.*
Rita: Izy? Are you okay?
*She walks up to Izriel, and gently hugs her.*

---

*Gaunter shrugs.*
Gaunter: How you doing Verdai my main man, wanna help me corrupt Ciri again?

Thaddeus:I will not fail, Dear Arya.
*He looks determined*
Thaddeus: I need the room to be safe for everyone. How about if I promise to not die, hm?
*He hoped to appease them*

Nah, I wanna be with you to keep you safe. Though before you go on this crusade, would you at least have sex with me? Like damn, I'm a succubus, and I haven't been able to seduce you. You're making me look bad.
*Smiles slightly at the notion of being rejected*

~

*Izriel stares at her hand, even though she's getting hugged*
*Finally jerries that she's being hugged, and slowly hugs back*
I... I'm not whole.

*Harador gets pulled into the room*
*quietly watches Izriel and tries to discern what the issue might be*

*Daveth walks back into the room after a time, being noticeably paler than normal and with sweat on his brow*
D: I need a drink.
*heads into the kitchen to do just that*

*Raises hands above head*
That was not me. I accept no responsibility for that.

*Rita tightens the hug, then pulls away to stare into Izriels face.*
Rita: Izy, wha-what is wrong?
*She wipes away her brewing tears.*
Rita: How do I help you?
*Head slackens slightly, and she weeps. Thinks about all the death leading up to this point, and just cries more.*

You "promise" not to die?!?!??! EVERY TIME SOMEONE'S SAID THAT TO ME THEY'VE DIED! I WILL NOT LOSE YOU LIKE I'VE LOST EVERYONE ELSE IN MY LIFE!

Gaunter... the only reason I don't have a weapon drawn is because I know I can't harm you, and I don't want to shoot people right now. There are bigger threats here.

No need for all caps. He ain't gonna die.
*Rolls eyes at Arya*

~

*Izy stares blankly at Rita*
I am no longer an angel. I'm... Less.

*Rita leans against Izriel, head low and weeps.*
Rita: I'm sorry.. I-I shoulda saved you sooner.. I should have stopped this... I failed you... just like how I failed everyone...
*She cries with frustration replaying Thesiel's death in her mind.*
Rita: I'm a fething monster...

---
*Gaunter shrugs.*
Gaunter: Okay?
*He grins.*
Gaunter: Would you like to make a deal?

*I shoot Elise a death glare*
I have seen too many of my friends die after making the exact same promise to take it lightly demon.

*Sighs*
And I said that I wouldn't let him die. I can teleport people places, and stuff. So chill out.
*Sighs again*
Then again, I'm just a demon, so what would I know? Have a good day, the both of you.
*Covers self with wings, then re-appears in the lounge*

~

*Izriel stares at Rita, then slaps her, hard*
Don't you ever fething dare to say that again. It wasn't your fault. You're not a monster, and don't you dare degrade me by saying so. I love you for the person you are, and you're not a monster.

And what would that deal be? I can think of some things I'd like...
-This is a very, very bad idea.-

*Dria finishes getting breakfast and walks into the main room then pauses when she sees Elise*
Dria: Oh, errr... hi...


*Cal finally gets Gharn into a stable condition after multiple blood transfusions to replace all the blood he lost*


*Scatty and Aoife still be on the lookout for a Roland*

*Looks at Dria, and nods*
Hiya. You thought about it?

*Leo is eating a ceanataur in the volcano*

*Cough hak cough CURE FOR SCATTY ON TABLE WITH A MESSAGE READING "Cure for Scatty - Leo"*

*Dria didn't notice the bottle but someone will later I promise <3*
*Dria pauses*
Dria: I- Err... I don't know... I've never... y'know... and I kind of wanted it to be with someone special. MY someone special

*Rita eyes widen, from the slap, and she looks down with shame. After a moment of utter silence she nods.*
Rita: I.. You are right. I'm sorry.. I just.. Thesiel..
*She shakes her head, and hugs Izriel.*
Rita: I love you... that's all that matters... Now.. what is wrong, you look.. like Lyr..
*Repressed memories aho!*

---

*Gaunter shrugs.*
Gaunter: Give me your soul, sound good?
*He smiles happily.*
Gaunter: Soooo any ideas?
