[indent]Location: Bedroom within the Ship, some time later.[/indent]

Samad’s eyes scrunched tightly, his head shifted as his mind started to clear. The first thing that came to his mind was the weight across his arm causing him to raise his head, narrowing his eyes upon the source. It was naked woman of alabaster skin and his scent all over her. Abruptly he shuffled upright in the bed with a wide eye look as he gritted his teeth and yelping deeply in his throat. The sheets collected at his waist but still managed to cover Kiara completely.  

Kiara’s eyes snapped open as soon as she felt someone moving next to her. She took one moment to assess her situation. [color=598527]“Well. Shit.”[/color] She sat up, shameless in front of the man she just had sex with. [color=598527]“I suppose we’d best start getting dressed. We never had sex, I presume? That’s the story at any rate. Hopefully Lucas doesn’t have hidden cameras in here.”[/color]She slipped past Samad, gathering her clothes and glaring at her shadow. [color=598527]“Shut up Eric, it’s not like I willfully chose to have sex with him. We’re not even in families anymore.”[/color]

[color=deba5e][b] “It wouldn’t surprise me if he did. As for it never, it does it matter? Either way, I’m not volunteering information if you don’t and I doubt anyone will give a shit.”[/b][/color] Samad uttered, his body leaning into the covers still shifted about his middle. His eyes passed over her bare figure and allowed her to get dress first like a gentleman. He inhaled, no longer in shock over his recent ‘sin’, while he stretched out.  

Casually he twisted his legs over the edge, pressing his heels into the floor and stood upright. He let the sheet fall back upon the bed then reached down for his slacks, shirt, socks and shoes. After he pulled on his pants, his right leg seemed to chose now to start hurting causing him to slump back onto the bed. [color=deba5e][b] “Stupid leg acting up again.”[/b][/color] 

He started to rub the knee gently, hoping to ease the ache budding. 

Kiara looked at him over her shoulder, smirking. [color=598527]“[i]I[/i] don’t give a shit. But from how you were reacting before I lost control of my hormones you seemed to care quite a bit.”[/color] She frowned as she watched him rub his knee. [color=598527]“Can’t you just use Alchemy to heal that? Unless you’re like Maeve and are leaving it around for sentimental reasons. For the love of Christ [i]shut up Eric.[/i] We’re perfectly fine. She’s not gonna escape again.”[/color] She had finished putting on her clothes and was securing her weaponry, both parts of E.L.G going beneath her cloak while the pistol disappeared on her hip.

[color=deba5e][b] “ Considering you talk to yourself, I can see why.”[/b][/color] Samad stated bluntly as he noted the shadow move in an odd way. He assumed she was moving it on her own while he heard her talk about his wound, his hand still rubbing it a few moments longer. [color=deba5e][b] “Really? I’ve been able to do alchemy since I was eight, don’t you think that’s the first thought that occurred to me? I’m not like Cade who actively avoids using alchemy. We’re all going to take a dive off the deep end, why bother fighting it when you can accept it and move on.”[/b][/color] 

Samad then rose and slipped upon his belly, his golden eyes looked under the bolted down bed. His head turned to seek out his weapons which had fallen under the bed. 

[color=598527]“Fatalistic and sarcastic. I think we’ll get along just fine.”[/color] Kiara chuckled softly. [color=598527]“Everyone talks to themselves. And if you mean Eric, I’m talking to him not myself. If you’re looking for a bomb, it’s already gone off. It’s why Maeve is so horny and I [i]was[/i] so horny.”[/color] She raised an eyebrow. [color=598527]“An itch you barely scratched I might add.”[/color]  Eric zoomed over and looked suspiciously at Samad. As suspiciously as a shadow could at least. [color=598527]“Eric. Stop being jealous.”[/color]

[color=deba5e][b] “JI was high, so considered it was scratched at all means I’m still good at my lowest. You, even when you’re horny, didn’t quite match well yourself. And no, I’m looking for my cane and katar. Got it!”[/b][/color] Samad stated as he pulled the two items from under the bed then started to pull open his sleeve. He then strapped the katar to his forearm, quickly securing it and finally ripped the sleeve over his arm. Wrapping up buttoning it, Samad reached for his cane handle before he stood upright. He leaned heavily against the support while he grabbed his shirt left on the bed. Pulling it on, he pushed one arm through a sleeve and then wrapped it about to put on the other through. 

[color=598527]“How did you get them under….Nevermind. You found them, great! Shall we leave with our magnificent entrance all set? You limp out, I’ll make jokes about breaking the bed and your leg, it’ll be a grand old time.”[/color] She attached her cloak with a theatrical whirl and headed towards the door. 

[color=deba5e][b] “I’m talented and just leave it at that. As for joking about breaking my leg, I doubt it would stand but good luck making it. The attempt should be funny at least since you don’t look like you could break much of anything. As for grand old time, I very much doubt it with all of us babysitting the bloodlines and tolerating my partner Cade.”[/b][/color] Samad stated then started to follow, his leg giving him issues all the way. 

-----Back in the Bathrooms_----

[color=ed1c24]“Oh that [i]bitch![/i]”[/color] Maeve said, laughing slightly.. She  looked  at Cade. [color=ed1c24]“I send your partner to go and get her, and instead he has sex with her. What the hell kinda deal is that?”[/color] She walked up to him. [color=ed1c24]“Are you sober enough to actually walk now, or shall we wait for them to hobble over here?”[/color]

Cade jumped at Maeve’s reaction then raised an eyebrow in question. Gradually, his queasiness had faded finally and he managed to straightened his figure where he could stand upright now. However, a heavy headache managed to swirl around his skull causing him to lean down for his medical bag. Thankfully it was waterproof, namely with everything they encounter he made it such, so the contents weren’t going to be ruined by the damage left by the bomb. 

His hand reached into the open top for some painkiller. Cade wasn’t surprised honestly that Samad had bedded Kiara, for several reasons. His partner wasn’t exactly tied with anyone and it had been a while since the man had laid with anyone, then add that with the fact their judgement was impaired equal a disastrous result.  

Before the man could reply, Maeve tilted her head and started giggling. The giggles turned into full blown laughter as she leaned against the wall, holding her ribs.

[color=ed1c24]“I can’t...I can’t...this is great!”[/color]


Cade shifted uncomfortably, seeing the Asylum break down into a fit of giggles. [color=7CCD7C] “Considering the situation, it doesn’t surprise me and not likely ideal to wait. Also, don’t you think we have other things to do other than stand around and giggle?”[/color] 

He popped a pinch of herbs into his mouth then sucked it off his finger, letting it become absorbed in his tongue. It would take some time to work but the effect was long lasting and healthier than chemically made painkillers too. As he rubbed his temple, Cade then added. [color=7ccd7c] “Shouldn’t we be looking for more bombs? There could be more.”[/color] 

Maeve looked at Cade in honest confusion. [color=ed1c24]“You mean...you can’t….Gods. How new [i]are[/i] you two at this whole ‘other person in my head’ thing? I can hear everything in Kiara’s head, and her reactions. Very well, I’ll show you why I was giggling.”[/color]Maeve’s eyes clouded over, shining a muted green, and two voices spoke from her mouth.

[color=7ccd7c] “I had a normal life up until about 4 years ago when my Alchemy sprouted and I was given a crash course, including the fact my rights as human no longer exists.[/color] Cade stated bitterly as he then added right before two voices erupted from Maeve’s throat. [color=7ccd7c] “In addition, I’m currently Samad’s second partner so our link isn’t… good.”[/color]

He listened while the conversation he assumed was happening in the bedroom poured out of the Asylum’s mouth, finding the experience a bit creepy. It was like she was a recording within the room causing him to frown in discomfort while it progressed more. 

[color=598527]“Powerful things come in small packages, you should know. You've got the second half of that saying down.”[/color]

[color=deba5e]"Careful. It's not easy riding your boney ass after all and I'm pretty sure you stuck me with those boney hips of yourself more times than once."[/color]

[color=598527]“At least I didn’t have to be guided.”[/color]

Her eyes cleared, sparkling with mirth. [color=ed1c24]“See? They’re arguing over who was worse in bed and it’s fucking hilarious. As for the bombs, if there were more they’d have gone off by now, while we were all incapacitated. Remember that?”[/color] She narrowed her eyes at him. [color=ed1c24]“Please tell me you’re not taking more drugs. You [i]just[/i] got off of being higher than a kite.”[/color]

[color=7ccd7c] “Yes but these I know the effects of, and aren’t alchemy laced. They are painkillers unless you want me patching people up with a headache and instead of healing, making it worse. We don’t know how the other faired or their condition due to the side effects. As for the bombs… are you willing to risk the mission and the Bloodlines on that assumption?”[/color] Cade resisted the urge to growl. 

[color=ed1c24]“Yep!”[/color] Maeve replied cheerfully.

By this time, Samad and Kiara came into view. Samad avoided Cade’s eyes, which the younger Asylum didn’t care at the moment and asked a question. [color=7ccd7c] “You realize we have to get back to the families before they realize something up, right?”[/color] 

Samad nodded and spoke, limping past Cade with his cane supporting him. [color=deba5e][b] “Yeah, though we might have a few less to babysit now. With any luck.”[/b][/color]   

Kiara waved a hand. [color=598527]“Way too late. The Peraltas have at least one camera in every room of this ship. They know very well that there are bombs and we dealt with them...though, I must admit, ‘dealt with’ is a loose term. Fortunately for us, the Chrono is still out there and they’re all behaving.”[/color]

[color=deba5e][b] “Pity”[/b][/color], was all Samad replied drawing a glare from Cade. The ex-Kian was glad their telepathy rarely worked when they were in conflict, the only positive thing when they were paired as far as he was concern. Ignoring the obvious tension pouring off Cade, he pushed past and started toward the room they all came from.
