he was hoping to get up – maybe even go out for a few hours. anything to clear his mind, but instead, he was yanked back into bed, and a very low groan followed suit. he enjoyed doing what he wanted and that was why this little… set back wasn’t enjoyed. not truly at least. “—-five more minutes,” he said, letting a deep sigh escape his lips. “i need to get up.”
“Maybe too much damage has been done.
Maybe I’ve worn it on my skin for so long it trickled down and nestled in my bones before diffusing into my marrow.
Maybe now it’s as much a part of me as the very resilient heart that keeps me alive.”
his laugh is quick and bordered with a smirk , mostly aimed at the demon’s attitude ( another way nero can see why his brother loves annoying him !!) and yet he could take PLEASURE in knowing he had failed and his brother was still alive and continued to be a thorn in the others side. ❛ And how do you know my BROTHER hasn’t taken precautions to make sure you fail again. ❜ A valid question given the current situation.
oh, he didn’t know if the hound took precautions. nor did he care – if ky wanted something done, he did it himself, and even more so when they were a thorn in his side. this next time would be different – even if he had to make sure to check his work this time around. “it doesn’t matter. your brother messed with the wrong demon.” or, rather, with ky, but the problem was even he didn’t know if this would work out. not really at least.
it takes her a few minutes, but she manages to fight off one of her siblings with her vessel only sustaining a few mild lacerations. it had been through much worse. she dusts herself off though her hands and clothes remain clean. an entirely human behavior that had rubbed off on her. ❝ sorry about that… you were saying? – need an angel blade, perchance? ❞
“only since they will no longer have use of one.” he would have taken it anyways, but the offer – for what it was – happened to cause him to grin. it lasted for a moment… maybe two before it faded. “not that it matters anyways – angel blades are quite… handy to have these days.”
He removed his hand with a grunt. “Luckily for you, I don’t need sleep.” A truth, but Ky did enjoy it from time to time… even if it was filled with nightmares. “Among other things? I’ll spend the night drinking.”
aww. crap – there it goes. he cleared his throat for a few moments to try to clean this mess up. instead, he moved to place a hand on her shoulder, and grinned. “not entirely.”
