Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jezabelle nodded and waited patiently where she sat.

Toole finished the last of the dishes leaving them to air dry on the counter as he wiped his hands climbing the stairs. He knocked softly and pushed the door open; "You alright Alies, I'm a bit concerned, and I apologize for letting my frustrations get the better of me earlier." Toole looked at her finger on the ring; "I'm still going to marry you."

Toole looked at the ring in his palm and then back at Ailes. "This piece of information is supposed to cause me to hate you, and throw you out of my life just because you are a lighting demon by blood."

Toole walked over taking the hand she pulled the ring off of, and slid it back down into place. "Ailes, you are not a lighting demon, you may have their blood, but you don't act like they do. You are kind to me, you brought me back from the brink of self destruction, and we have fallen in love with each other. So i don't care what people think, what matters to me is that you love me, and know that I'll be here for you no matter what."

Toole lifted her hand and kissed the top of it; "This afternoon I proposed to you, and in doing so sealed a promise and commitment to love you for the rest of our natural lives. Nothing has changed here, other then the need to set things right for everyone to have the same right as we do."

Toole reached down and lifted her head to look at him. "The only way that ring comes off your finger again is if you truly don't love me anymore. When you said yes to me on that rock out there, you committed yourself to Us, and together we will get through this Ailes. They will send us hate, but we will send them bodies. Proof that our love is stronger then their hate, and if you are unsure of that let me remind you."

Toole pulled her away from the window backed to the edge of the bed where he let himself fall back, and once on the bed he rolled so she was on the bed. Toole brought his knees up to lift himself above her. Toole was already teasing her with small kisses, and his hands slid down to take hers, and he pulled them up above her head. This action lowered his head down closer so he didn't half to strain his neck to kiss her. At this point the longer more passionate kisses began.

Toole relaxed breathing a bit heavy after a few minutes. "Ailes, I will do whatever it takes to end this, but i can't do it alone. I'll need your help on this."

Sinis took the seat and tested it a bit by moving his body up and down while sitting."I'm not living there, i'm exploring. I recently noticed a crack in my gauntlet. I want to see if there is a certain mineral down there that I can use to repair it."

(There was no furniture in there when they went up to the house...)

Akuma walked behind the bar and slipped on a black apron she slipped the letter into her apron pocket after reading it and prepared the drink. she walked over to the cloaked figure with a hard glare and hissed, "What do you want with Toole?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ailes smiled, "Yeah, we'll have to won't we." she stood up and brushed herself off. she linked arms with Toole and grinned, "Ready?"

The cloaked figure pulled the hood down revealing her face. She was one of the two mistresses Toole had staying at his house.

"Word travels fast, my counterpart and I owe Toole a favor, but recent information gathered requires explanations. That and I seek the lady of sorrows for a more political matter. That should be enough for now, I'll let you sit in on the conversation once Toole shows up, but I do not have much time before my escape back into the delta is comprimised."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Toole smiled and headed downstairs and stepped out the front door. He looked over at Jezabelle still sitting by Ian's tree. "Ready to go Jezabelle?"


Jezabelle stood up; "Ian isn't back yet, or I haven't seen him to know he is back from whatever he had to go do." Toole nodded; "Well Akuma was rather specific on him staying with you so we wait until he is ready, but you can at least climb aboard and get ready with Ailes."

Toole gave Ailes a kiss on the cheek before moving a short distance away and removing his amulet. He retrieved the makeshift rope from his robe, and got the ends situated on top of his head.

Jezabelle watched the affair and came over to stand beside Ailes; "What is that for, because i surely hope it serves a good purpose for him to shread robes worth my weight in gold."

She took the glass and smiled toasting it in Akuma's direction before sipping it. She waited paitently with her hands on the table palm down unless her right hand was lifting her glass.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jezabelle smiled from her perch on Toole's head; "Up here Ian."

Jezabelle turned a bit pale; "i never thought about falling off before, but I guess it was always possible. I don't have a price anymore Ailes, you made sure of that, and everyone signed to that effect."

Toole yawned and started walking for the edge; "Well it shouldn't be a long flight, but next stop is Ive's bar."

Toole waited a few minute for Ian to get set on Jezabelle.

The trip down was indeed short, the longest part was the landing, but it was done with little impact. Toole coiled up the rope and set it aside by the door and joined everyone that was ready to go in.

Jezabelle and Ian were first through the door, Jezabelle wasted no time taking a spot at the bar, and waited patiently for Akuma to take her order.

Toole entered with Ailes, knowing Akuma probably had the crowd scoped out already, he didn't stop his gaze from wandering over the visible faces. "I'm feeling rather tea'd out, care to share a large fruit juce with me, and perhaps some ice cream later?"
