"I-I'm.... A-are you...,"
"Let's go dancing."

The thought sidetracked Cienna enough to make her actually smile if even for half a second. It was absurd to think that they would go dancing during the early evening, well not that unusual while she looked like, well she looked like a drowned rat. It was a pleasant thought though, it suddenly occurred to Cienna that Julie was actually in her home, like for real, it meant something to her. She figured if Julie didn’t want to be here she could have gone somewhere else and left her stuff at the hospital to collect later. No she had actively sought her out and brought it back, and wanted to take her up on her offer.
”th..thanks… she would say softly closing the front door and walking back up the hallways ”i.. I’ll have… to get… ready…” she adds even more softly as she stopped facing the direction that Julie was in. The slightest hint of Julies scent reached her from across the room and she wanted to go and hug her. It was a moment later that she caught herself, she had moved across the room almost running and embraced Julie. ”I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” she said repeatedly holding onto her soul mate tightly.

"I-I have your purse. A-and your b-book,"
‘that answers the how.’ She thought to herself blankly as she was about to raise her hands to take her things she heard Julie speak again.
"A-And I-I don't have a home t-to go back to y-yet. B-But I-I understand if you want me to go s-somewhere else."
She would nod slowly stepping to the side and motioning with her hand to allow Julie to enter.
”it’s my fault afterall… sorry… she says her voice barely above a whisper. She truly believed those words, and it wasn’t like she wanted for space in her home she had a couple of rooms spare that she only ever went in when she was doing her best to clean. She had a maid that did most of the cleaning but Cienna had made it a ritual at least once a week she attempted to clean the house.
”my house is your house.” she said her voice blank of emotions as she waited for Julie to enter. What Julie would see is a hallway leading to a sparsely decorated living room, the only real decorations that were around were bookshelves and some flowers in a vase that seemed to be at best a couple of days. The living room had a killer view over the city and a patio which had a couple of chairs and a outdoor table on, it was shielded from the inside by a set of large glass sliding doors. To the sides of the Living room were two other corridors, which lead to four bedrooms. Ciennas was to the left at the very end, she had liked the way the breeze would flow into that room when she opened her windows.
The kitchen would be beside the Living room through another door, should she explore that she would find that it was stocked with a variety of tea and coffees though they seemed to be all put in a very specific place, Cienna’s life style demanded that she find a way to make everyday life more manageable.

Sometime had passed and Cienna had been laying on her bed feeling lifeless, she had long since exhausted her ability to cry and now she just laid on her bed with nothing but a shirt to cover her body. She had thought that a shower might help clear her mind, it had the opposite effect on her, she hadn’t even dried her hair or her wings so when she heard the knock on her door she had no intention of responding.
"C-Cienna?"
A familiar voice, but how, there was no way that it could be Julie after all she didn’t want anything to do with her, and she distinctly remembered not telling Julie her address.
"I-It's m-me, J-Julie."
There was no mistaking it now, that was Julie knocking on her door, How was this even possible. She pulled herself up onto her knees and stood on the ground, the carpeted floor hurting her feet but she didn’t care, the pain distracted her from the aching in her chest she walked to her front door and hesitated for a moment. ‘why.’ She thought to herself before opening it, the shirt she was wearing coming down to her mid thighs if Julie looked at her legs she would notice the severe cutting and bruising on her small feet.
Her wings were drooping down and like her hair appeared to be wet. She wasn’t sure what to say, Julie had come to her so maybe she had something to say. She turned her face to look up at her soulmate her eyes seeming more blank than usual for a blind person and her cheeks stained from tears.

Cienna would listen as Julie spoke each word hitting her harder than the last. Her neutral composure collapsing as Julie finished speaking. Her eyes closing tightly to try and hold back the tears as her small body quivered all over. ”s…sorry… i… I’m.. sorry…” she said lifting off Julies bed and backing towards the door. Her mind numb with the pain that was going through her, the darkness now complete she couldn’t think, she turned fleeing from the room as fast as she could fly tears falling from her face as she did so. She would leave the hospital flying a little faster than a person would walk taking off straight up into the air. ”stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid she yelled at herself while flying in any direction to get away from the pain. ”No one will ever love you! You don’t deserve it.” she continued abusing herself.
If she had been thinking when she left she might have remembered the book and her purse which she had left sitting on the side of Julies bed. She had not been thinking though she was in pain and wanted to escape, she wanted to forget the pain. She found her flying around her own apartment building as if by some force of chance. The flight home had been a blur she only remembered the darkness holding her. She landed on her balcony and turned to face the city and screamed as more tears fell from her face. “Why! Why! Why!” she demanded of the very air itself as if it would answer her

"Why would you believe her? You see how she's taunted you before."
Cienna would sigh softly hovering up and sitting on the bed beside Julies body and gently touching her face ever so gently. “I believe because I felt her emotions.” She would say softly. Her tone was soothing and filled with emotions. “I want you both to be happy…” she was speaking the truth, it was the one thing she wanted most in the world at this point. Were it not Julie and Erin sharing one body that she were bonded to she might have found it impossible, but with those two she found she couldn’t accept one without the other, they were likened to a coin, two sides, of the whole.

”why do you think that the gods cursed you?” she would ask softly her tone showing love and care to the woman on the bed she was now sitting on. She didn’t know what else she could do other than resort to her magic which she already knew was beginning to weaken thanks to the day prior. She also considered it to be rather obtrusive to use her magic in a method that would bend the will of another living being.

The next morning Zephyr would return to attempt to catch the owner of the unit at home or maybe talk to the other tenants to find out if any other strange things have happened there recently. It’s not like this case was going to be easy to solve as the powerful magic that stopped the tornado had all but destroyed the traces of magic that created it before he could arrive on the scene. As he walked he happened to glance at his wrist a new marking having etched itself onto his skin.
“Oh Fuck me!” he says as he read it, ‘today!’ he thought to himself as he arrived at the apartment building now seriously debating returning to the church and waiting the day out. He knew that wasn’t really an option as he had to complete his investigation before the church would give him further instructions. He would enter into the building allowing his senses to expand again, as he had suspected all traces of magic being erased by now he would sigh.
”Time to get it started with. He walks around the building knocking on doors, some answer and are happy to give him any information they can, while others don’t answer at all, then there are those that answer and simply slam the door shut on him again. He would shrug to himself as he reached another door the smell of paints and turpentine permeating the air around it he would reach up an knock, he would note the slight burn of his wrist but honestly would ignore it unless it got a lot worse.
Silvarae watches the one whom had identified himself as Volkir as he spoke, He had correctly determined that she was on edge and that she had assigned him the highest possible threat level. His tone had done little to alleviate this, however his actions within the same token breath seemed to do more than his words possibly could have. He seemed to her at least to be somewhat airheaded if dead inside, a combination she could not fathom yet there he was switching from a serious topic to the decidedly less deadly desire for cake. The blank transition would once again almost make her smile, ‘that’s twice in one day.’ She thought to herself berating herself mentally, ‘the perfect soldier needs not laugh, smile, or do anything but do as she is told.’ She would recite her fathers words mentally. She had done this thousands of times throughout her life, now it was something she did in response to reactions to anything that was deemed undesirable to her father.

When another woman arrived she seemed the homebody type, arriving with a tray of muffins, ‘Muffins?’ Silvarae thought somewhat confused, where they here to fight someone, or was this a giant waste of her expensive time or was there more going on here. This was almost a nonsensical vibe to all the people gathering in her opinion, the disparity that occurred between the different people that had the runes was at bet laughably pathetic, ‘from a soldier to a common housewife?’ she thought to herself.

When the girl who had floundered through the window began to mock her weapons she would almost unsheathe them this time with the ideal of vengeance however something told her to stay her hand, or more correctly her nature prevented her from doing so. She would love to have said that she’s the perfect soldier, that she loved to kill but for her the opposite was true. Hearing the woman mocking the only presents she had ever received made her angry, made her want to yell or scream at the woman, the only thing she would do however is stare at her briefly her eyes narrowing. She would not even bother to respond though she would let her eyes linger that little bit longer.

When the door erupted off its hinges and journeyed forth across the room on it’s destination to splinterville Silvarae would be completely startled dropping into a combat stance and both fangs of Fenrir being drawn immediately. The next words that followed did little to alleviate the tension she now felt, The woman was impossibly strong, Silvarae had thought herself strong, that is until this woman shattered the door without so much as a single bead of sweat appearing on her brow. ‘no, no, no.’ she thought to herself her eyes actually going wide in fear as she stumbled away from the woman whom had now identified herself as a rune.

She would fight to regain her composure, the others in the room now all but forgotten as her eyes remained on the woman whom she now assigned the largest threat level of them all, When Isa showed a little disregard for the womans obscene strength she would regain her composure. If at the very least she tried anything there would now be enough people here to subdue her, or so she deemed.

A couple of other people had joined since all of which passed well below the Rune Uruz for their threat assessment meaning that she was the target of scrutiny for Silvarae. She mostly ignored what they were talking about and the muffins held little interest to her having eaten before working out this morning already she wasn’t exactly hungry.
Oh the fun, oh the fun!@EchoicChamber
"That bruise must hurt. Well earned I bet."
Her eyes would narrow looking at the man who she had deemed to be at best an annoyance, she had not expected the person that he appeared to be to even notice anything other than maybe her breasts or the short shorts she wore, but no he had mentioned the bruise on her arm. A slight distraction to her thoughts throbbing at the back of her mind though nothing she wasn’t used to, in fact the bruise was the least of the injuries she had suffered in the past for failure.
”It’s to be expected when training in new methods.” she responded her tone devoid of emotion that might have shown the surprise she actually felt. She considered bumping his threat assessment up a little as her right hand strayed to the bruise rubbing it again. The man seemed to lose interest in her at this point as he went back to speaking to the others she would berate herself mentally. ‘it’s bad enough that you got hit, now you appear weak to them, you idiot girl!’ she screamed at herself mentally.

"Hey, blondie, what's with the armory yer cartin' around, hm? Isn't it annoying to hold alla that?"
Silvarae would look at the girl whom still hadn’t answered her name, however now the more pressing issue seemed to her to be to defend her choice of armaments and garb.
”What could you expect of a soldier, I must be prepared for everything, should I be told to go now I could go and fight. My daggers, the fangs of Fenrir, have never failed to find their mark no matter how tough that target may be.” she would explain as she pulled the two daggers out revealing the masterfully crafted daggers which she would flip in her hands before replacing them in their scabbards. She would then remove the bastard sword from her back with it’s intricate designs and the same attention to detail as the fangs of Fenrir it would glint in the light.
”And this is Jormungandr, an extension to my very body easily able to defend myself or someone else with it, I am never to leave without it.” she replaces the sword on her back carefully, appearing to care a great deal for the sword.

As she was finishing up her spiel another male would walk in, this one seemed to register on her threat assessment as extremely high. He had the eyes and tone of one that had nothing left to lose and this made him extremely dangerous. She also noted he had mentioned that he was a rune user like herself this made her stiffen her hand tightening around one of the fangs after releasing her sword. ‘Stupid, stupid, stupid’ she thought to herself as her eyes now solely focused on the perceived threat. She would not however draw the dagger just yet, however she would be prepared to should it be required.
"Kenaz. Sowilo. Algiz. Ansuz."
"Good morning. I am Isa. The first rune, in a sense."

Silvarae recognized the rune of Isa from the gym and training arenas and would nod in greeting, she had a grudging respect for the ice user though like Maeve she felt more intimidated by the woman who had an innate ability to manipulate ice. An ability that seemed to grant her some particular advantages in combat though she had no idea of knowing what the girls limits were, just like with herself she had no idea how far her barriers could be pushed, or if they would even work against the others runes.

As the new guy walked in taking a chair and spinning it into reverse before sitting down she mentally assessed him for his threat level. He seemed to be somewhat inebriated and thus lowered his threat level in her eyes.
"All-Daddy? guess my reputation proceeds me."
She would roll her eyes at the man, he all in all seemed to be relatively pathetic to her. Someone that might have hired her in the past to walk them home from some midnight jaunt at a brothel or something of the likes.
"I'm Makorai. Forgot what my rune is. Something about the future."
As he introduced himself she would take particular note mentally of what he said his rune was, ‘something to do with the future.’ She thought to herself, that could be troublesome if it allowed for instant battle readouts before they happened. He seemed utterly to casual to form a threat so she disregarded him.

She watched as Dawn responded to the others the girl seemed overly all to comfortable, unprepared for the possible danger that the world held. Being in the centre of the city meant absolutely nothing if the frost giants decided to attack. No she seemed to be like how Silvarae would describe the rest of humanity, ‘livestock.’ How could any of them truly relax while they were in a situation where they could never truly know safety.

As another person joined them coming through the window she began to babble so much information that Silvarae would simply raise an eyebrow listening to the woman. She mentioned something about her rune being in a naughty place and if anyone was paying close attention they might have noticed the corner of Silvarae’s lip twitch as if to smile which was quickly supressed. When the woman added that she had been able to climb three stories thanks to something to do with her rune she would note that as well. ‘maybe I should try walking on my barriers.’ She thought to herself as a test for later.
”I note you didn’t name yourself.” Silvarae would say looking at the girl sitting on the floor. Everyone else had named themselves and this stood out as awkward to her, though it was to be expected of some people.
Silvarae would listen to the others as they conversed disagreeing totally to the fact that it wasn’t a ludicrous idea that they might sacrifice them. The cost of her life alone would be absolutely astronomical and not to mention the combat ability that she possessed should be more than enough to find her way out of any possible sticky situation, no she was more than certain that they weren’t here for that. She would raise an eyebrow as Maeve mentioned bringing Jorgmundr to cut some kind of ribbon.
”absolutely not, that is a preposterous concept, there is no way in hell that I would unsheathe Jorgmundr for anything so mundane.” She would state adamantly her hand being temporarily removed from the dagger on her hip to the sword on her back. ”I come prepared for anything, whether I am to be given an assignment right now and must leave to act on it promptly or if this is as they say a meet and greet.” she spoke truthfully in this fact though it did make her question the sanity of the woman who had implied that her sword should be used for the cutting of a ribbon.
She would look at the woman who had named herself Dawn, “Pleasure.” She would say simply not really showing any kind of true emotional response, more seeming to appear as if she were showing a great respect by simply answering. “Zero I have earned.” She would add turning back to Maeve.
