[@Ace of flames01] Saoirse fell into Clays arms, the man was quick, and he effortlessly swept her up and lay her down on the bed. [b]"Easy there lil tough one."[/b] he whispers softly as he brushes some a loose strand of hair from her face. [b]"Just relax, rest up, I'll take care of business."[/b] As his words ended something dark and invisible swept around the room, every part of wolf that existed within Clay was on edge, alert and nervously ready. ---------------------- Dorians shoes click against the hard floor with each slow passing step as he casually makes his way towards the monitors. He pauses. [b]"Rose, seriously, how long has it been?"[/b] He lifts a hand and reaches out to touch the image of Saoirse. The screen flickers, the picture burns static around his touch. The very electrons buzzing at their impossible frequency feared his presence, or simply could not compete with the force of energies growing around him. [b]"You see I ask because I seriously do not know."[/b] He stops playing with the screen and turns to face the woman. Behind him shadows move through the tv image, static glitches, that don't physically exist but move with a pattern of occurrence too impossible to be a coincidence. [b]"Remember that place, it felt like a night mare... Before we got these."[/b] Dorian points to the brutal list on his arm. His torso still naked and shirtless. [b]"Well regardless, it was real. And I have been back there, so many many times."[/b] Dorian continues his slow haunting steps towards Rose. [b]"I have learnt a lot from you Rose, maybe not always the lesson you intended, but a lot indeed. But unfortunately this last lesson will have to be one of theory only. Unfortunate for you, you have left me with but only one path to fix this, and it requires a lot of blood. "[/b] Dorians eyes catch hers and this time there is no smile. [b]"As do all the good magics of old, you taught me that."[/b]
