The Five Senses

waaait for meeeh!! I'll have my post done tomorrow lol.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

As Helena reacted to Lyn's presence, Henri couldn't help but notice the annoyed expression on her face. Did she possibly want to be alone with him? Henri let a mischievous smile out as he looked to Helena. It was also very clear that she didn't liked the way Lyn got in the middle of Henri and her, not even one bit.

"Oh, don't be like that Helena my dear, I'm sure we can all find a way to have fun together. There is no need to be jealous!" He said, gently grabbing her chin and making her look to him with a smile.

"Besides that... You don't seem to be the type that would hear what 'daddy dearest' says..." Henri said, laughing as he winked mischievously to Helena.

Henri was almost relieved that certain others were already gone. He was genuinely lost why so many people were antagonizing him like that... Or better, he was lost. Now he knew that it was exactly because he was near Lyn... She was already a lady, she most certainly knew what Henri meant like that. On every single occasion one of her 'parents' came to annoy Henri, she took no sides and said nothing about the situation. It was probably time for her to do something regarding that, after all, Henri was always receiving the short end of the stick just by being near her... He certainly enjoyed being around her but everything had it's limit and that situation was starting to get ridiculous... Henri knew that he was watched by Athalus & etc. even while he was on the college... It was sincerely irritating.

What he said to Lyn was meant to be only a warning because her parents were already threatening Henri. It was only meant to be a way to say that if they tried anything funny with Henri, he wouldn't simply stay still, by no means Henri would expect that kind of reaction... After he finished speaking with Helena, he looked again to Lyn, that was silent all that time only to see her expression filled with fear and panic, before she shortly hissed, taking her hands from her pouch quickly, as it something had happened to them. When she did so, Henri could see in the corner of his eyes, her arms covered in her own blood, with some things that appeared to be plants getting out of them.

“It’s alright, I’ll just… I need to take care of this. I’ll catch up with you two in the marketplace later. In a few hours?” Henri heard Lyn saying, with wide open eyes, but trying to hide her emotions.

Henri not only didn't understand why she overreacted like that, but he was in fact a bit angry with that reaction. He was the one that was getting jumped on by her babysitters, antagonized and threatened, having to live on the college knowing that there were possible enemies only a few rooms away from him. All that situation, even though Henri didn't show it, was driving him to the edge...

With a deep breath as he tried to calm himself down, he turned to Helena. It was very, very obvious that Henri wasn't ok. He wasn't trying to hide his stress now, it was almost as if he couldn't do so...

"Helena, what the fuck is happening on this college and with all those people around Lyn? Is she some kind of untouchable goddess? Am I committing sacrilege or something by approaching her? This is getting ridiculous..." He said, with a serious expression.

But before Helena could answer, another one came to speak with Henri... It certainly wasn't the right time for that... It was Keri. As she started talking, Henri knew that it wasn't good thing... After all, when it was something good? Other than Lyn before that day, Leith and Helena, it was never something good....

Surprisingly enough, the first words she said almost made Henri think that she was seeing the situation differently from the others, but as she continued that his attitude would bring problems to others and to 'tone it down' he knew where that was going...

”Lyn was also harmed when you asked her to pass your threat on as well. From the habits you display it's not hard to see you have trust issues which is great until you’re alone somewhere you don’t want to be. Why don’t you try getting to know others before assuming they’re trying to be enemies with you please. After all you might be surprised at who’s willing to adopt an orphan. Then again I’m only assuming due to seeing me in you.” Keri said.

After that Henri couldn't stay quiet anymore. It looked like everyone in that damned college was against them just because Henri was approaching their treasured little daughter... The calm way she was speaking was honestly... irritating Henri. He was in the wrong? For not lowering his head and doing nothing?

"Look at me, Keri... Where do you think my 'roguish charm' is? Do I look like I'm having fun with all this situation?" Henri asked, looking to Keri.

"Have you at least tried to see how many times I was threatened? Do you know how many times I felt I would have to defend myself from someone on the college? How do you think I could fight against someone as Tyrael, Keri? I can only get out of those situations alive because they are easy to manipulate. I don't know what Tyrael is capable of but I'm not dumb to underestimate any opponent. I never underestimate anyone. It's easier to fight against someone who isn't thinking correctly, blinded by rage... Talking about being prepared... Do you know how tiring it is having to live 24/7 around people that can possibly be your enemies? Knowing that there are only a select few you can trust if something happens? It's simply ridiculous, Keri. While Lyn isn't the one to blame for all this, she could certainly prevent all those problems I've been facing with nothing but a small talk with her 'parents'. Threat? What I said wasn't a threat. If you want I can go myself to Athalus, Alaira and Tyrael and tell them to kindly fuck off and leave me alone but I suppose it won't end very well... That's why I told Lyn that. She is smart enough to understand her place in all this. She is smart enough to realize that all those things are only happening to me because she stays quiet even seeing how I'm being treated just because I'm hanging around her. I'm honestly getting tired of all this... I never did anything to anyone to deserve this. In fact, If I'm not mistaken, Lyn would be dead if it wasn't for me. Hell, I don't even talk with Athalus, Alaira and Tyrael, yet they are always there to antagonize me. And don't try to tell me otherwise because I know I'm being watched by them even when I'm on the college. It's obvious. I can't feign being charming and happy all the time, Keri. Every fucking day that passes, It's getting harder and harder." Henri said, looking directly towards her. It was obvious that he was on his edge already.

"Trust issues? Haha...." Henri said, with a sarcastic laugh.
"You know... there aren't a lot of people who respect street artists. It doesn't matter how famous we are, we are still street artists, outsiders on every city we go who have no rights as citizens. We always have to take care of our own. I could never trust anyone but a select few and this time around is no different. I can assure you that Athalus, Alaira and Tyrael aren't amongst them, especially after all the threats I received from all of them. Try to put yourself in my place before assuming anything..." Henri continued.

"Adopting? I why I would want such thing? Was that a joke? Because if it was, it wasn't funny." Henri said, as Keri walked away.

"I'm sorry, Helena. I don't think I'm in the mood to do anything right now. If you want to group with someone else I will certainly understand. You don't need to worry about me regarding the shapeshifter. After all, I'm not Keri's family. The only 'family' I ever had was the circus, which I was foolish enough to leave behind." Henri said, his face nothing like it normally was. The fox like smile and the mischievous and charming eyes gave place to a dark, serious expression.

No Turning Back - Surving the Abyss

Maeve Katz

"Feel free to give her these as a bargaining tool for the door. It works pretty well for me. Ah, sorry. I haven't introduced myself yet: Rois Holt, botanist. Pleasure to meet you, Dr. Katz." Maeve heard the woman saying, introducing herself as well as suggesting Maeve to use the food as a bargaining tool.

Maeve couldn't help but feel a bit relieved that there was someone else taking care of Audrey other than herself, since Maeve had other things to do so she couldn't see Audrey every day. She wouldn't be surprised if she knew that if it wasn't Rois bringing Audrey food, she would probably forget to even eat.

"I have to admit that I feel a bit more relieved by having someone taking care of Audrey other than me. It's a pleasure to meet you to, Rois. Please, just Maeve is enough." Maeve said with a smile.

"I wouldn't be surprised if I knew that Audrey forgot to even eat if it wasn't for you bringing food for her!" she said, laughing. Rois seemed to be a very good person.

"Oh! You mean you're responsible for taking care of the Eden? I go there every single day since the first day I came here. So lucky! You get to stay there for as long as you want, right?" Maeve said, smiling.

"I won't take much more of your time. Thanks for taking care of Audrey and the Eden." Maeve said, with a wink towards Rois as she walked away. She would sure maybe try to pay her a visit. Perhaps she would even be lucky enough to be able to spend an extra hour per day on the Eden.

When Audrey finally opened the door, she would find Maeve with a smile on her face and holding the food that Rois left for Audrey.
"Mental note: Food as a bargaining tool to get Audrey to open the door works extremely well." she said with a playful smile.

"Yeah I'm sure, Audrey. The last checkup was two weeks ago... Even though they may be annoying, they're incredibly important in order for you to stay healthy." Maeve said, with a look of disapproval towards Audrey. Maeve knew that Audrey had a lot of things to do due to her position and job on the ship, but even though, Audrey could, at least in Maeve's eyes, take care of herself a bit better. Maeve wondered if she wasn't pushing herself a bit too much...

As she handed the food to Audrey, she heard the AI Audrey was working on greeting her. She was honestly impressed on how fluid and polite the AI sounded. It was very different from most of the other AIs she saw.

"How polite! I'm very well, thank you, Black Box!" Maeve said with a giggle, not hiding her surprised expression as she heard it talking to her.

"Let's get this over with." Maeve heard Audrey saying as she got prepared for the medical procedures.

"You know how things go. It will be over in a moment." Maeve said, getting a compact set of medical equipment from under her coat and putting on a set of disposable medical gloves as she took out a surprising amount of things out of that small metal case, making clear that it would certainly take a bit more than just 'a moment'. It was almost unbelievable to see how many things she could fit in such a small space. Unlike other times, this time Maeve wasn't wearing the usual medical coat, instead wearing a black sweater and a black choker. It was almost like if she was on her day off or something.

"I know I keep telling you this every time I come to see you, but I must insist. You could take one hour of your day to go to the Eden. It would be very good not only for your mind, but for your health as well. It's probably the place with the cleanest air around here... Oh, and as another question... Are you sure you're not pushing yourself too much?" Maeve asked as she took out a disposable syringe and needle, cleaning her arm with a bit of alcohol before taking a bit of blood.

"At least now I know that you're feeding yourself properly, thanks to Rois. She seems to be a good woman, going out of her way just to bring you food." Maeve said, putting the blood sample in a small flask before taking Audrey's blood pressure, checking her respiration and her heart beat with a stethoscope.

"How have you been spending your days?" Maeve asked, as she continued with the medical checkup.
"You know... Getting out and having a bit of fun is also important to one's health..." She continued.
"Regarding your health, have you been feeling anything out of the ordinary?" Maeve asked as she took a small tablet to write some observations about the checkup.

Ascension 3: A return to Chaos

Lila Moriarty

^{@Rai @13org}

"It pains me to have given you such a curse. For this I apologize deeply. I will not let a soul harm you."

"You gave me not a curse, but a reason to live. Something more than being just a tool." Lila said, looking to Anui once more as he sais those words. She didn't knew why that was happening... Was that their plan all along? They took Lila to the place where she was born, just to use her to slaughter her own kin? As those thoughts passed through her mind, she only became even more irritated.

Even behind the curtains, she could hear Mirror's voice as he started an inflamed speech about his objective to reclaim the fortitude of the Seraphim bloodline, telling others to fight by his side or perish... But maybe the worst thing was that he said that he would turn a child into a soldier just like 'his' Lila... How much of a hypocrite could he be speaking like that? Was he really any better than the Nayu? Lila didn't knew what exactly was happening, or what was the reason for Mirror to simply start slaughtering other Nayu royals like that but he surely wasn't that much better than them...

"Somethings missing... LILA! WHERE ARE YOU!?" She heard Mirror's voice once more, interrupting her thoughts. That was the last drop, she couldn't stay quiet anymore. Together with her vision, it seemed like that meeting with Anui awakened other things that were asleep inside Lila. Her feelings. And right now, she needed to do something.

But before she could get up, she hear Anui once again, his voice placating the anger she was feeling.
"Lila. Why does this man who slaughters our people call out your name? Does he have a grudge against you my dear?"
"If so. I will not let him leave here alive to threaten you another day." Anui said with an ebony blade forming on his hands.

Getting up, Lila gently grabbed his hand, looking towards the curtains that separated them from the room where all the chaos was happening and without saying a word, she started walking towards it, pulling Anui.
Entering the room, she looked directly towards Mirror and the bloodbath that he made. In one hand, Lila never knew how beautiful the color of blood was... Such a beautiful and alluring shade of red. It reflected the light from the hall like rubies... But in the other hand, only hate could be seen on Lila's eyes.

"I am your tool no more, Mirror." Lila said, almost hissing as she looked towards Mirror as he rose above the ground, flying, while still holding Anui's hand.

"You brought me here, a Nayu created by your kind, the Seraphim, as a weapon, as nothing but a tool, in order to use me to slaughter my own kind? It was the first time I ever saw other Nayus... It was the first time I didn't feel like a monster by drinking blood. How cruel can you be, Mirror?" Lila continued, looking directly towards Mirror. The way she looked on his eyes made clear that she was actually seeing him with her own eyes.

"I also heard some things, Mirror... What happened with the Moriarty?" Lila asked, looking at him with a piercing stare.

"I wasn't an orphan like I was told, Mirror. I had a family... What have your kind done with them before I was taken away from Nero?" She asked, baring her fangs towards him.

Lila's mind was still an absolute chaos, flooded by so many different, conflicting emotions she never had to deal with as she simply suppressed them... But at that moment, rage and hate were the most apparent ones as she looked to Mirror.

"I have no problems in killing my target, I never had. You created me with only efficiency in mind. A ruthlessly efficient weapon, without remorse. But what happens now that I don't follow your orders anymore?" Lila said, looking to him. The message she wanted to say to Mirror was clear. She wanted him to leave.

To be honest, Lila herself didn't know what would she do now that she didn't have a... 'master' anymore. Nobody to order her. To someone that knew nothing other than being an assassin, killing and following orders, she was completely lost on what she would do right now, but there was one thing she was very certain: the only person whom Lila cared right now was Anui. She wouldn't let no one get between her and her loved one.

Sophia

^{@Rai @13org}

"Hoarding? If it wasn't for me, the world would be already plunged into chaos a long time ago..." Sophia said with an annoyed expression as she heard the king saying.

"Call me whatever you want. It doesn't matter how much you all want to lie to yourselves, the truth won't change. You all are not ready to obtain the knowledge stored on that library." Sophia said, with a serious stare as she transformed herself to her 'human' form.

"Not a lot of people have seen me in this form, King Vrondi. I suppose you know what it means for a dragon to show it's human form." Sophia said, looking to him with eyes as impeccably white as her hair and her skin at the same time as white as the moon and as black as the night. It was unique, exotic but it was also extremely beautiful. Although Sophia went there out of her own free will, she was clearly showing that she didn't completely trust him or the other kings and queens... At least not yet.

"We're going to discuss serious matters, King Vrondi. So I believe being honest is the first step to ensure mutual understanding. I came here out of my own free will, but I still wont take sides. I will do whatever I need to do in order to keep the balance of the world. Unless It's something that threatens this very balance, I won't interfere in your wars or your struggles for power." Sophia said as she followed him.

As Sophia and Vulcan walked inside the castle, heading directly towards the meeting room, she couldn't help but notice the festive mood as the other guests enjoyed a myriad of different activities such as Fotian fire dancers, drums & etc. Did they even know what was happening? The threat they would soon face?

Upon entering the meeting hall, she would see king Vrondi and many others kings and queens sitting down in a long stone table. Many of those she didn't know, but she could feel their eyes over her, analyzing her. Almost like as a way to ensure she was the owner of the aura they felt, she let out her aura just a very brief moment. Merely a pulse, enough for them to realize that it was the same type of the more powerful outburst of primal magic they felt.

"I believe you all heard me when I said who I am." Sophia said, looking to the ones sitting at the table.
"Unfortunately, we don't have much time to introduce ourselves properly. As I said before, there is a reason why I left the Great Library, coming all the way to Vrondi myself after Vulcan asked me to." Sophia said, with a serious tone.

"I took an oath to never interfere on your wars or conflicts. But this time is different. Something... darker..." Sophia said, looking to them all.

"It's unlike everything I've felt before. Something needs to be done before it becomes too strong." She completed, looking at every single king and queen on that table one by one.

The Five Senses

Karina Frost

"Half Touch and half sight? Unusual..." Karina said to the man as she heard his excuses to not go to the battlefield. She didn't know what was his thing with all the purposely wanting to hurt himself but she hoped he would be useful for her at least to give her some information.

Karina was almost thinking she wouldn't get any useful information from that place when she heard one of them asking if they wanted to play a game of dice, almost instantly drawing the hyperactive fairy's attention. At least that would help to keep that fairy under control and no more unfortunate accidents would happen... At least she hoped...

But luckily, just after the fairy went with the other man, the fake drunk one said exactly what she wanted to hear, but it was somehow even bigger and more preoccupying than she had imagined it would be...

”Speaking of rumors, however, I am curious on how The Cult managed to convince King Y’lleant to let them into the nation. So tell us, Mr. Royal Guard. Why did the King allow these men into the town?” Karina heard him saying, carefully paying attention to him.

Did he mean that the King was really supporting the cult? Karina herself couldn't wonder why would the king give them permission to be in that nation even though they had quite the bad reputation? Never mind that... Maybe the biggest question was if the cult already had this much influence on that nation... If that was the case, things could possibly get a bit complicated. She knew very well what the military of the nation of Touch was capable of, but lack of information was something that could turn the tides of a war really fast... Depending on what Karina would find out, the Nation of Touch might be pressed to throw an all scale attack to finish this war as fast as they can before The Cult can firm it's roots on the nation of sight...

But before Karina could say or even think a bit more about that matter, the Royal Guardsman words confirmed what she was thinking previously.

"Are you... sure that it's a good idea? I've heard terrible rumors about The Cult... I can't really say that I really know about war and strategy, but selling your soul for power seems to be a terrible idea..." Karina said, hiding the fact that she was actually a brilliant strategist. She had to weight her words carefully at that moment in order to extract the maximum amount of information from that Royal Guardsman. He was probably the best font of information she would find for a long time...

"And not much is really known about them, am I right?" She asked, with sharp eyes carefully analyzing every reaction that the Royal Guard had to her words, even the smallest one.

"It honestly looks incredibly dangerous to let a strange and unknown organization suddenly have so much power and influence inside a nation..." Karina concluded, still looking to the Royal Guardsman.

A Guild Adventure: An RP with Monster Girls! (ENDED)

Bast Ragoczy

The stone chamber where Bast encountered himself was almost like if it was made of darkness. Even though there were windows were some light could enter the room, it remained dark, almost like if light itself was avoiding that room. Uneasiness. Even though Bast was a powerful magician, he was still had a strange feeling, almost like there was something waiting for him, watching him.

"Hm.... intriguing..." He thought to himself as he carefully analyzed his surroundings. That didn't seem to be the type of thing Araghast would do... Did he give the card to someone else? Disappointing, but he could have his fun nonetheless...

Looking around more carefully, Bast realized that the room was in fact a throne room. Despite the darkness and the weird feeling, he could still see the rug of a very fine and expensive material leading him to a large throne made of the most varied types of bones, including human ones. But before Bast could do anything more, a voice came from behind him, interrupting him.

"Wow. You really appeared." The figure said as Bast carefully turned around, analyzing the man with an amused smirk. That most certainly wasn't Araghast... Shaved head, a round face and a body type a bit too fat for a warrior's, he wore clothes of a strange tone of black. The weird sensation was still in the air, but Bast's curiosity was simply too much for him to walk away, furthermore, he was interested about what was happening. A bit disappointed that he wasn't Araghast... But maybe it could turn out to be even better than if he had met Araghast...?

"Although, I really shouldn't be surprised. From the way Araghast told me about you, you seem to be a person who likes to stick his head in things he has no business in." The man continued, before started talking about the throne room.

"You seem to be quite different from Araghast... You seem to be more interesting..." Bast said, carefully analyzing the man's reactions to his words.

"Araghast himself is an interesting person. But he is too short sighted. Sure, he is most certainly better than the brutish pawns of meat and muscle that he commands, but he still fails to realize how much more powerful subtle things can be than pure strength." he said, as the man mentioned Araghast.

"It wouldn't be that fun if I simply stood quiet, tending to my business now, would it?" He said, with a smirk on his face.
"Besides that... Now I do have something to do with all this situation. After all, it was you who called me here." He said, with a provoking smirk.

"It would be rude for me to ask for your name before properly introducing myself. I'm Bast Ragoczy. I suppose Araghast told you a little bit about myself." Bast said, with a formal bow.

"But I suppose you didn't call me here just to chat, did you? Even though you seem to be a bit more... entertaining than Araghast." Bast said, tapping his fingers on the top of his cane.
"I hope you have something interesting for me." He concluded, waiting for the man's answer.

"Regarding the throne room, I can't say it's exactly my style, but I can appreciate the amount of work that it was needed to make it. The throne is quite something... It's just a wild guess, but I need to ask... Is this King Joshua's throne? I've been hearing some interesting things about him. He seems to be quite an interesting fellow to talk with..." Bast said, raising one of his eyebrows as he mentioned the name Joshua. He had never seen Joshua before, so the man in front of him could even be Joshua himself but instead of asking straight away, he choose to take a more... subtle and delicate route.

Freyr

"Sure, Magnus. You're welcome to come with me." Freyr said, looking to the big minotaur. He was a pleasant company to have.

"You seem to already know the man that sent us this request... That will certainly be useful." Freyr completed, nodding towards Magnus, thanking for him having offered himself to go with him to the forest. He always felt as ease while in a forest. Even though he left his home forest, he was still a Viera. He still had a deep, physical and magical connection to the forest.

As he heard Haley saying that she wouldn't go with him that time, even though he tried to hide his reaction, he was unable to completely hide that he was in fact a bit relieved by that. If she came with them, he most certainly wouldn't be able to calm himself down and forget all that situation, those strange feelings inside him.

"I-I see. We won't. I'll ask Magnus to tell you about what happened when we get back." Freyr said with an unusually formal greeting as he walked away with Magnus, before Neil called them to say a thing before sending them on their quest.

Apparently, the same dwarves who did that wonderful job restoring the guild opened a shop in a cabin near the river, which happened to be the same direction that they were going. Maybe they would even meet them on their way there, which strangely enough, didn't happened as they arrived there.

It was easy to localize the Dwarves' cabin. It was heavily modified with stone and metal structures. It was certainly quite something.
But ironically enough, they saw no dwarves there, instead, they saw a human man tending to a bonfire. Just like Neil said before, he really resembled him, albeit a bit older and wearing priest robes.

"You know, I admire you people. I hope my boy turns out just like you." the man said, after expressing his admiration for the guild and telling them that they were quite famous.

"Varjo... For myself, I prefer much more to be in a forest, in contact with the nature. I am a Viera, after all..." Freyr said, greeting the man.

"You are the one who posted that request on the guild, right?" Freyr asked, turning to Magnus as if he was asking if he was really the one who contacted them.

One Night in Hell Club, Bar area.

Day 2 (Arc 2): Around 9pm

A mischievous, but satisfied smile appeared on her face as he heard Rich's words as she stopped plunging her claws on his abdomen. Rich was almost a perfect meal, a perfect toy for Corinna...

"Correct answer, my precious prey, my precious toy" Corinna said, as she approached her face to his to kiss him again, before being interrupted by the explosion.

The music suddenly stopped as a loud sound echoed through the club, followed by silence, then the panicked screams of all the other people who were enjoying the nightclub just as she was. Corinna herself didn't care at all about the others, but she was genuinely annoyed by the fact that someone interrupted her little fun with Rich...

"Tsk... Why something had to happen now? Of all the times, it had to happen now?" She said to herself, looking around with an annoyed expression on her face.

"You are mine, Rich... I'm the only one allowed to hurt you." She said, caressing his face with her claws.

"Unfortunately, we will have to continue this another time..." Corinna said, getting up as she quickly closed the large wound between his ribs using her silk and her sharp claws to close the wound. The sticky, but resistant silk would be enough to both stanch the bleeding and ensure it would heal correctly.

"Don't worry, it won't leave a scar... Although if you want something to remember me, I can give you one when we meet again..." Corinna said again as she put his arm above her shoulders, helping him to stand, albeit she did so without even caring about his weight. The thought that such a delicate woman like her was strong enough to maybe even carry Rich and still move with such dexterity, agility and grace was certainly hard to believe... But again, Rich had many other things to think about at that moment.

"The toxin will soon stop making effect. I injected you with only a small amount of tranquilizing venom. Can you walk yet? Come, we need to get out of here... Oh, and let's make this night's events a secret just between the two of us, ok?" Corinna said, running her sharp claws along his neck in a menacing way as she smiled mischievously, slowly licking the blood dripping from the cuts on his face once more.

"You've been a good boy tonight, Rich... So I will give you one more choice... I can take you to my mansion tonight, or I can simply leave you on a safe location nearby the entrance of the club..." Corinna said, as she looked directly to him, eagerly waiting for his answer.

"This time, no tricks and no strings attached, no consequences, whatever it may be your choice." Corinna said, looking to him, eagerly awaiting his answer.

It didn't matter how many times you thought about what had just happened, she was simply indecipherable... She not only could kill you, but would certainly do it if you haven't answered her the exact answer she wanted to hear a few minutes ago and certainly drank a lot of blood and absorbed quite an amount of vis, but now, she was even taking care of you, making sure the biggest wound wouldn't keep bleeding and even wanting to get you out of that place... Maybe it was because she considered you her property, as she said that you were her toy...

@May

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Henri was starting to seriously doubt of their mental sanity as he heard their inflamed, arrogant speech. He already had his fun but it was starting to get annoying... It wasn't that entertaining to talk to someone that lived in their own happy little world, without opening their eyes to the reality that was in front of them. Alaira was simply... well... She was a bitch. There wasn't any other word to describe her. He already had dealt with many of those type before... People who think they are always right, who think they have the right to speak in a condescending way to everyone and put themselves in a pedestal as superior to others... It was always irritating to hear them trying to belittle others for so long.

"Oh my, such a hypocrite! I don't get why she is talking so much if she doesn't know nothing about me..." He thought to himself, looking at her with a mocking grin as she talked to him. He wouldn't even give her the pleasure of paying attention on what she was saying, instead, he would only silently provoke her.

But unfortunately, the little doggy's master was also upset with Henri and came to aid its little puppy.
Ironically enough, or maybe it was exactly why they were so close to one another, Athalus was so similar to Alaira. The same pretentious and arrogant attitude, the same irritating way of belittling others, living in its own world of fantasy where he was god in person...

"Ugh... I grew tired of entertaining you on your little game..." Henri said, simply turning his back to him as he continued talking.

"I guess that asking you two to act in a civilized manner is indeed too much... Oh, and please, put your little dog in a leash. If she tries to kick me again, the outcome won't be pretty." Henri said, with the same mocking smirk but with a piercing stare to both him and Alaira.

"Oh, but before I go, I need to tell you one thing: I don't care about you, about your little puppy or the college. I have nothing to prove to you all. Don't be fooled if you thought I'm acting like this to impress you lot... I worked in a circus. Being charming is in my nature. If you don't like it, too bad for you. There are a lot of others who like it." He said, opening his arms in a mocking bow as he said that he worked in a circus.

"Oh, but I suppose i should take my leave... After all, It's not that entertaining trying to interact with the mentally impaired." Henri said, with a cruel smirk.

"It's so ironic! He is acting like that and still, I am the child here..." Henri said laughing as he walked away, completely ignoring the speech he was still giving.

As he got closer to Helena, who was trying to get his attention since all that situation began, he gave her a smile.

"I'm sorry my dear. Now that the arrogant little master and it's puppy are gone, you have my complete attention." He said, with a bow.
"Are they... you know... 'slow' or something like that?" Henri asked, twirling his finger besides his ear with a funny grimace and a chuckle as he tried to make Helena laugh, just as Lyn arrived, pulling them away from the rest.

"Oh! What a pleasant surprise! Are you joining us too?" Henri asked, looking to Lyn.

He saw both Alaira and Athalus speaking with her for an awfully long time before she came... They seemed unusually... close... to her, almost like if they were overprotective parents... Henri was wondering if him being near Lyn was the reason for all that...

"I didn't know I was so popular with the ladies!" He said, laughing, before he turned to Lyn with a serious expression.

"My dear Lyn, Athalus and you seem to be very close to one another... Can I ask you to say something to him for me? I grew tired of speaking with him. It's just like speaking with a door..." Henri said, looking to her with the same fox like expression he always had.

"Tell him to stay away from me. If he doesn't, he would do better to watch his back..." Henri said, suddenly his expression changing radically to a much more darker one, with piercing eyes.

"Aah~ But now that the problems are gone, we should talk about other things, right? It would be rude of me to not give my full attention to those two stunning beauties next to me. I guess I really am a lucky guy, after all." He said, with his expression changing to normal in the blink of an eye.

"Helena my dear, would you mind including one more to have fun with us?" He asked, with a suggestive wink to Lyn and looking to Helena with a mischievous smile as he knew Lyn would be flustered by what he said.

"So with that Ladies, I am all yours. Where are we going?" He asked with a laugh.
