Mist Spire V

[AmberVael]

Tucked away in the corner of the astral plane there is demiplane. This demiplane is Aesa's planar realm.
Though small, it contains a variety of terrain. There is a small wood, a lake covered with mist, foothills and the small mountain on which her tower has been built. A path leads up the mountain to Aesa's tower.
The realm is obviously real, but something about it seems insubstantial and not quite there. The feeling that you will simply wake up from a dream, or that you will pass through the ground, is easily ignored or forgotten, but never overcome. Its quite a pervasive and insistant sensation.
Storms and lightning continually flicker in the background, and a thin mist coils about the surface of the entire plane, adding to its surreal quality. The plane maintains a constant, cool breeze and slightly chilly temperature.
Anyone venturing here who has earned Aesa's ire or comes in an unwelcome fashion may find that the lightning is not just in the background, and that the mist is more than just a whispy thing around their feet.
Furthermore, the shadowy, illusory nature of the plane means that Aesa can simply make it not exist... for selected people. It also allows her easy change over what the plane is like.
The tower itself is fairly small, but not crampt.

Aesa has now opened up her plane for mercenary buisness. Aesa takes any jobs that she feels inclined to take, ranging from tracking to assassination.

There is a portal that connects the first floor of Aesa's tower to the streets, and there is a sign next to it that reads:
MIST SPIRE-
Home of Aesa, Diviner, Assassin and Mercenary for hire.
Inquire inside.

BASEMENT: This area is connected to a small network of catacombs that lead to numerous places of interest. A few of these are Aesa's summoning chamber, her vault where Zchiz is now kept, and a training room.

FLOOR 1: The first floor contains a desk, a large number of chairs around a table, a fireplace, and is in general a 'welcome' area.

FLOOR 2: The second floor is a small but comprehensive library.

FLOOR 3: This floor is reserved fro the private quarters. As of the moment, there are five bedrooms, a kitchen, and a small living area.

FLOOR 4: The literal top of the tower. You are outside on this floor, and can see the entire plane. Apparently it is a good vantage point for throwing lightning bolts at things.

There is also a connected but somehow separate portion of the plane that is an eternally lit field of white, blue, and yellow flowers. This part of the plane is normally inaccesable.

[Chaotic Bob]

Aesa? Sounds vaguely familiar.
Who do you happen to be, if we may ask?

[Kyrian]

Aesa, are you ok?

Very well.


((Quoted for truth))

[AmberVael]

I am Sali, Aesa's secretary and personal homunculus.
[hr]Aesa grins and looks back at Rafael.
I made a deal.
So I get to be second in command, correct?

[Kyrian]

Rafael raises an eyebrow. A deal?

Correct.

Larxene and Zexion both gape in horror as they mentally receive word of the deal.

[Chaotic Bob]

Pleasure to meet you Sali.
Does this place serve as anything more than a business location for Aesa here?
More importantly, is there anything exciting we can do here?
It should be noted that they are slipping into that child-like state of hyperactive curiousity.

[AmberVael]

Well, the easy part of the deal is that we don't have to worry about them anymore.
Aesa snaps her fingers and the enchantments surrounding the two vanish.
Get out. I'll deal with you two later.
Aesa walks over to Rafael and puts her arms around him.[hr]Sali looks a bit apprehensive.
Its Aesa's home as well. I don't think she opens the rest of it to guests though.

[Kyrian]

Rafael looks concerned as she releases them, and confused as they leave and vanish when they can. And the hard part....?

[AmberVael]

The part you may have problems with is that I am technically their second in command.
Aesa smirks at him.

[Kyrian]

You're WHAT?!

[Chaotic Bob]

She doesn't? How disappointing.
So this is the only area we're allowed in?
Terre wanders over to a bookcase, quickly scanning over anything that looks interesting.

[AmberVael]

Aesa tightens her arms around him and kisses him.[hr]Sali shakes her head.
I'm afraid this is all, unless you talk to her.

[Kyrian]

Rafael accepts the kiss, but pulls back from it a bit earlier than usual, though he's still in her arms. Wha...but..why??

[Nevrmore]

[COLOR=Indigo]I am Sali, Aesa's secretary and personal homunculus.
((Yep, that gift was all me.))

[Chaotic Bob]

((Triple simu...))

Is she available? I could always do with some conversation.
'Tis better than nothing...

[AmberVael]

Because it was a very intriguing idea?
Because I get to boss all those damn brats around?
Aesa grins.
Because I never promised what orders I would give them?
He never specified that...[hr]Aesa is dealing with other buisness at the moment.

[Kyrian]

But...they're trying to kill my friends.

[AmberVael]

So?
What if I order them to do it in a very suicidal manner?
And then shoot at them for not doing it fast enough?
Aesa chuckles.
They'd be attacking your friends anyways... now I just get control over how they do it.

[Kyrian]

Rafael gives her a tiny smile, as things start to click in his head.

[Chaotic Bob]

Busy Busy, folk are always so busy.
So there is absolutely nothing we can do here 'cept talk to you? And look around I suppose would be in there...

[AmberVael]

Plus I get to torment them while I'm at it. Hehehehe.
Aesa grins widely and flexes her wings.
Xemnas didn't seem to bright, either, so he may not even notice.[hr]Actually, Aesa would prefer than uninvited people without buisness leave after a few moments, so you may not even do that.

[Nevrmore]

There is a strange shimmer of static in the first floor that quickly disappears.

Plot sits, invisible, in the welcome areaaa, seeing two people not native to the plane already in it.

[Chaotic Bob]

The twins look at eachother and scratch their heads.
That's not very kindly...
What happens if we don't leave?

[Kyrian]

Rafael's smile grows a bit, and he kisses her.

[AmberVael]

Aesa takes one of Rafael's hands in her own.[hr]Sali shrugs.
Then the plane will leave you.

[Kyrian]

Rafael looks into her eyes, still smiling. He gently squeezes her hand.

[AmberVael]

Aesa lowers his hand to the chain she has, grinning widely.

[Chaotic Bob]

The twins find the prospect of this very interesting, as they have never heard of such a thing.
Ooh, we'll take that one.
We just stand here for that right?

[Kyrian]

Right here? Rafael grins but raises an eyebrow.

[AmberVael]

Sali rolls her eyes.
[hr]Aesa blinks and snickers, then the Dvati twins find themselves hanging out in the astral plane, just chilling and floating around.
Yup.

Aesa looks at Rafael, shaking her head.
Sure. Don't you want to?

[Kyrian]

Of course I do. He gently and playfully tugs at the chain.

[Nevrmore]

Plot fizzes into existance, waving at Sali.

"S'up?"

[Chaotic Bob]

The dvati twins ooh and ah at their new sudden surroundings, but Tirre coughs and propels them into a nearby color pool, sending them to a random other plane.

[AmberVael]

Plot finds himself floating in the astral plane soon after his appearance.

Aesa chuckles.
What? Are you losing your strength and will?
You only give little timid tugs?

[Nevrmore]

"Now that's just rude." Plot says, less than amused.

[Kyrian]

Rafael kisses her deeply and gives a big tug to the chain.

[AmberVael]

Aesa grins widely and tries to push Rafael down onto the floor.

[Kyrian]

Rafael allows himself to be pushed to the floor.

[AmberVael]

Aesa puts her arms to either side of him.
You know what can be boring, Rafe?
Getting what you want without effort.

[Kyrian]

Hm...guess I figured your player was more tired than he really is. He sits up, pushing Aesa back and kissing her neck.

[AmberVael]

Aesa chuckles at Rafael.
What I'm saying is that if you want something different, you shouldn't be afraid to resist me and try and take it.

[Kyrian]

Rafael grins at this and tries to pin her against the wall.

[AmberVael]

Aesa grins back.
Yes, you get the idea.

[Kyrian]

Rafael continues grinning, and tries to pull the chain away from Aesa's outfit.

[AmberVael]

It refuses to come off, but it does pull Aesa tighter against him.
Aesa decides this is slightly uncomfortable and tries to slip to one side.

[Kyrian]

Rafael kisses Aesa's neck, and a chain appears in his hand.

[AmberVael]

Aesa raises an eyebrow at the chain and grabs for Rafael's arms.

[Kyrian]

Rafael tilts his head as his arms are grabbed. Don't like the idea of being chained to the wall?

[AmberVael]

Maybe I like the idea of you having to try and do it.
Aesa smirks.
Of course, I don't like using Seid much when I play, so...

[Kyrian]

...you rather I not just create things?
Rafael kisses her neck, gently.

[AmberVael]

No, I'm saying I'm giving you a sporting chance for when you try and chain me to the wall.
Aesa smirks and tries to force him back.

[Kyrian]

Rafael presses a bit harder, trying to back her back towards the wall again. He reaches up and tries to loop one end of the chain around one of her wrists.

[AmberVael]

Aesa gets pressed against the wall again, but manages to slips her arm out of the way.

[Kyrian]

Rafael bites her neck playfully, and tries to loop her arm again.

[AmberVael]

Aesa is distracted by the bite, and Rafael manages to loop the chain around her arm.

[Kyrian]

Rafael kisses her deeply, but his eyes look around for a ring on the wall or something he can loop the other end around.

[AmberVael]

There appear to be no such fixtures.
However, there are places where such things might be easily added in.

[Kyrian]

Rafael creates a ring in one of these places and puts the chain through the ring. He grins.

[AmberVael]

Aesa watches him, flexing her wings.

[Kyrian]

Rafael goes to kiss her again, while trying to loop the end of chain on Aesa's other arm.

[AmberVael]

Aesa has a bit more limited movement this time, and is kissing Rafael, but she manages to buffet his attempt away with her wing.

[Kyrian]

Rafael grins, enjoying the game as much as he knows he'll enjoy the reward. He kisses Aesa again, and with his free hand, strokes her wing as he tries again to loop the chain around her free arm.

[AmberVael]

Aesa shivers and tries to distract him by activating the enchantment she had placed on him. If he isn't too distracted, he'll actually get her arm this time.

[Kyrian]

Rafael shudders in pleasure, just as her arm is caught. He takes a small step back to survey this and grins widely.

[AmberVael]

Aesa looks down, noticing that her legs and wings were still quite free.

[Kyrian]

Oh, I know they're free...I just wanted your arms and hands out of the way... Rafael steps up close again and kisses her, his hands running closely down the front of her body, before he tugs on Aesa's chain again.

[AmberVael]

Aesa shivers uncontrollably, not sure she could really do anything if she wanted to.

[Kyrian]

That's not hurting you, is it? Rafael asks before kissing her neck.

[AmberVael]

Aesa grins at Rafael and wraps her wings around him, pulling the vampire closer.

[Kyrian]

Rafael grins back. You know...I thought we talked about how this thing was supposed to make your clothes coming off easier... He again gives a tug.

[AmberVael]

Maybe I decided to let it torment you instead.
Aesa chuckles.
Her skirt has been forced a fair bit lower by now though.

[Kyrian]

Guess I'll have to keep trying... Rafael kisses her at the same time he gives another tug.

[AmberVael]

The skirt begins sliding off more easily, and Aesa presses against him.

[Kyrian]

Rafael tugs again and with his other hand starts to move aside one of her straps. He grins and shudders in pleasure due to the rune.

[AmberVael]

Aesa strains against the chain binding her as her clothing and the curtain being to fall.

[Kyrian]

Rafael, who'd unchained Aesa at some point during the night, pulls her just a little closer into his arms and kisses the back of her neck.

[AmberVael]

Aesa keeps her eyes closed and hums softly.

[Kyrian]

What did you think of that?

[AmberVael]

Very fun.
Aesa shifts a little in his arms.

[Kyrian]

Very hot too... Rafael moves his arms to try and make her more comfortable.

[AmberVael]

Mm hm.
Aesa seems surprisingly sleepy.

[Kyrian]

Shall I carry you up to a bed? The floor here can't be that comfortable.

[AmberVael]

Would you please?
Aesa gives him a small smile.

[Kyrian]

Rafael kisses her, before standing and picking her up carefully. Which room?

[AmberVael]

I don't care.
Aesa kisses him back and then settles in his arms.

[Kyrian]

Rafael smiles and carries Aesa up to her room. Once there, he gently lays her down on the bed and kneels down on the floor beside her. He gently strokes her cheek and smiles at her.

[AmberVael]

Aesa's wings are looks more gray and orange than dark red and black at the moment... and her eyes are almost green.
She smiles gently at Rafael.

[Kyrian]

Rafael raises an eyebrow slightly at the new coloring, but doesn't mention it, figuring it's just Aesa's doing. He leans forward and kisses her.

[AmberVael]

The wings slowly shimmer to gold and white, and her eyes to blue. Her hair is brown, as is normal for that form.
She kisses him back softly.

[Kyrian]

I never thanked you last night...

[AmberVael]

For what?
Aesa holds her arms out to him.

[Kyrian]

For getting them to leave me alone. Rafael leans closer to her arms, and turns his head to kiss one of her hands.

[AmberVael]

Aesa frowns at him and tries to pull Rafael up onto the bed.

[Kyrian]

Rafael allows himself to be pulled into the bed and tilts his head as he lays beside Aesa. What?

[AmberVael]

Aesa cuddles up against him and smiles.
Nothing now.

[Kyrian]

You know I still love you. Rafael puts his arms around her.

[AmberVael]

Aesa ruffles her wings a little and then settles them over herself.
She smiles at Rafael.

[Kyrian]

Rafael smiles back and kisses her gently on the forehead.

[AmberVael]

I love you, Rafe.

[Kyrian]

I know Aesa. And I love you too. Rafael smiles.

[AmberVael]

Aesa hums contentedly and curls up a little more as she cuddles.

[Kyrian]

Rafael holds her close, and brushes his hand through her hair.

[AmberVael]

Will you forgive me, Rafael?
Aesa closes her eyes.
I've hurt you in a lot of ways... I know you still love me, but...

[Kyrian]

But what? Rafael asks, confused.

[AmberVael]

But I've never actually been forgiven.
She looks up at him with sad eyes.
Will you forgive me?

[Kyrian]

Rafael touches her cheek gently and smiles softly as he looks into her eyes. I forgive you, Aesa.

[AmberVael]

Aesa smiles back, tears forming in her eyes as she hugs him tighter, crying softly.
Thank you, Rafael.Thank you.

[Kyrian]

Rafael holds her tightly, allowing her to cry.

[AmberVael]

Aesa stops crying after a while, but doesn't pull away.

[Kyrian]

Rafael gently rubs her back, ok with her not pulling away.

[AmberVael]

I don't know if I'll ever be able to stay like this.

[Kyrian]

I know...but thank you, for allowing me to see this side of you. Even if it's not for long periods of time.

[AmberVael]

Aesa smiles and kisses him on the cheek as she gently drapes her wing over him.

[Kyrian]

Rafael turns his head so he can lightly kiss her wing.

[AmberVael]

Her wing twitches, but there is no more response than that.

[Kyrian]

Aesa? May I ask one request? It doesn't have to be granted, but it's been one I've been thinking of for a while now.

[AmberVael]

What is it, Rafe?
Aesa appears to be hesitant.

[Kyrian]

I was wondering, if it was possible to have you, just once, in this form? I'm sorry if it offends you, it's only a thought.

[AmberVael]

Aesa holds tight to him, not answering.

[Kyrian]

I'm sorry...I shouldn't have asked. Rafael holds her there.

[AmberVael]

I... no, its okay, Rafe.
Aesa seems almost nervous.

[Kyrian]

What's wrong?

[AmberVael]

Aesa shakes her head.

[Kyrian]

It's ok. I love you Aesa...and I'm sorry I brought it up. Rafael gently touches her cheek. I love the moments spent with you like this, being able to lay down and hold you close.

[AmberVael]

Aesa gives him a small smile, but doesn't seem especially happy.

[Kyrian]

What's wrong, Aesa?

[AmberVael]

I just...
Aesa frowns and then kisses him lovingly.
I can't decide what I want to do.

[Kyrian]

Rafael returns her kiss, just as lovingly as she kissed him.

[AmberVael]

Aesa shivers and folds her wing tighter over him.

[Kyrian]

Rafael gently touches her cheek, and looks deep into her eyes.

[AmberVael]

Aesa looks back at him, then down.
Rafe...

[Kyrian]

Yes, Aesa? Rafael watches her.

[AmberVael]

You know that I'm sterile, right?
This doesn't seem to be what Aesa is wanting to say, just a lead into it.

[Kyrian]

I'd heard you say it before, yes.

[AmberVael]

Well...
It was my mother who did it... the first time. I removed the effect she put on me.
I replaced it myself. I just didn't want to be connected with her.
Aesa looks away from him.
The way I did it is only specific to my normal form.

[Kyrian]

So if we...? Rafael asks, thinking he sees where this is going.

[AmberVael]

Aesa nods, still not looking at him.

[Kyrian]

It's ok Aesa, it was only a thought. I enjoy holding you close in my arms in this form

[AmberVael]

I... we still can, if you want.
Aesa cuddles close to him.

[Kyrian]

Aesa...I don't want to risk you having an undesired pregnancy.

[AmberVael]

Aesa doesn't answer.

[Kyrian]

I love you, and I won't do that to you.

Rafael lightly plays with her hair.

[AmberVael]

I...
Aesa doesn't seem to know how to respond.

[Kyrian]

Rafael holds her close to him, not wanting to let go as long as she doesn't want him to.

[AmberVael]

Aesa falls silent and just twitches her wing.

[Kyrian]

Rafael gently kisses her cheek. I'm sorry, I ruined the good mood.

[AmberVael]

Aesa kisses Rafael back, running a hand along one of his arms.
No, its okay.

[Kyrian]

Rafael shivers slightly at her touch and smiles.

[AmberVael]

If its still what you want, Rafe... I'll... it will...
She shakes her head and kisses him again.

[Kyrian]

Rafael returns the kiss, not wanting to move on much farther until Aesa can get a complete thought out.

[AmberVael]

I'm willing, Rafael. If it is what you want.

[Kyrian]

But is it something you want?

[AmberVael]

Aesa shakes a little in his arms, curling her wings around herself.

[Kyrian]

Please don't worry yourself about this Aesa. If there comes a time when you want this, then ok.

Rafael gently rubs her shoulders and back.

[AmberVael]

I do... but... thats just now. Later I don't know what I'll think...

[Kyrian]

What does your heart say?

[AmberVael]

Aesa shakes her head.
I'm just so different when I'm like this...

[Kyrian]

But you're still Aesa, whom I love.

[AmberVael]

Yes I am.
Aesa rolls onto her back.

[Kyrian]

Rafael reaches out to gently caress her cheek.

[AmberVael]

Aesa turns her head and kisses him passionately.

[Kyrian]

Rafael returns the kiss, just as passionately, without hesitation.

[AmberVael]

Aesa gently pulls him closer as she deepens the kiss.

[Kyrian]

Rafael doesn't refuse, and shivers slightly.

[AmberVael]

Aesa turns over again and moves on top of Rafael, her wings trembling.

[Kyrian]

Rafael reaches out to gently touch her wings, and gently kisses her again.

[AmberVael]

Aesa shivers and holds him tightly as she kisses him back.

[Kyrian]

Rafael deepens he kiss, and looks into her eyes, trying to let his say all the things he can't find comforting words for.

[Ms_Elaneous]

Vedran snaps out of dead time, wondering if Miss Sikka will follow shortly thereafter.

[AmberVael]

Aesa very gently squeezes him and breaks off the kiss, still looking into his eyes.

[Nevrmore]

Plot wonders how long he'll have to float in the darkness before Aesa will let him back on the plane.

[Kyrian]

Rafael lays there, looking into hers, and smiles. I love you Aesa.

[AmberVael]

Plot realizes that he will be incinerated before he is let back onto the plane.
He may as well leave.

Aesa's shivering becomes less noticeable and she relaxes more.

[Kyrian]

Rafael keeps looking into her eyes and smiling. He gently touches her arms.

[AmberVael]

Aesa reaches up one hand and places it on his cheek, smiling a little.

[Nevrmore]

"Fine! See if I ever try to offer you anything again!" He angrily shouts into the nether.

Plot mumbles various things about bitches and chocolate before disappearing.

[Kyrian]

Rafael turns his head a little to kiss her hand.

[AmberVael]

Aesa's smile grows, and she gently trails her other hand across his chest.

[Kyrian]

He shivers a bit, and his smile grows as well.

[AmberVael]

Well?
Aesa watches him.

[Kyrian]

I want....to make you happy.

[AmberVael]

Aesa slides her hand down to his side and runs it up and down.
Do you want to...?

[Kyrian]

Rafael shivers slightly, and slowly nods.

[AmberVael]

Aesa begins to pull off his shirt, smiling very softly.

[Kyrian]

Rafael tries to lean up and kiss her as she does so.

[AmberVael]

Aesa kisses him back then slides off his shirt and runs her hands along his chest.

[Kyrian]

Rafael shudders due to the rune on his shoulder, and leans against Aesa a bit, then kisses the base of her neck as he recovers.

[AmberVael]

Aesa puts her arms around his neck and closes her eyes, waiting.

[Kyrian]

Rafael gently lifts her shirt a bit, holding her close.

[AmberVael]

Aesa shivers and wriggles a little in his arms.

[Kyrian]

Rafael slides one hand up the back of her shirt, while he kisses her passionately.

[AmberVael]

Aesa's wings shake and she kisses him back, holding tight to him.

[Kyrian]

Rafael slowly starts lifting her shirt again, watching her.

[AmberVael]

Aesa's ears are a little red, and she trembles as her shirt slides up.

[Kyrian]

Aesa... Rafael looks her in the eyes.

[AmberVael]

Aesa leans in and kisses him passionately.

[Kyrian]

Rafael returns the kiss and trails kisses down her cheek and neck.

[AmberVael]

Aesa shivers uncontrollably and pulls her wings tight to her back.

[Kyrian]

Rafael looks at her.

[AmberVael]

Aesa smiles sheepishly and traces the rune on his shoulder.

[Kyrian]

Rafael smiles and shudders in pleasure.

[AmberVael]

I um... I did the same thing to myself.
Aesa blushes a little.

[Kyrian]

Rafael So that's why...

[AmberVael]

Aesa gives him a small grin.

[Kyrian]

Rafael leans into her, kissing her deeply and passionately.

[AmberVael]

Aesa shivers and kisses him back.

[Kyrian]

Rafael slides both his hands up the back of her shirt and lightly draws on her back, using his arms to slowly start lifting her shirt up again.

[AmberVael]

Aesa gives a small whimper as she begins kissing him on the neck and cheek.

[Kyrian]

Rafael shudders almost uncontrollably and lifts her shirt about halfway, holding himself really close to her.

[AmberVael]

Aesa shrugs off her shirt and kisses him as the curtain falls.

[Kyrian]

As the curtain raises up, Rafael is laying beside Aesa, gently stroking her hair.

[AmberVael]

Aesa gently flutters her wings, her eyes closed.

[Kyrian]

Rafael smiles and lays back down fully, content with holding her there in his arms.

[AmberVael]

I love you.

[Kyrian]

I love you too. Rafael kisses her lovingly.

[AmberVael]

Aesa makes the kiss brief and then rests her cheek against his.

[Kyrian]

Rafael smiles, and hums contentedly, almost like Aesa does when she's happy.

[AmberVael]

Aesa smiles and looks at him as she opens her eyes.

[Kyrian]

Rafael looks right back at her.

[AmberVael]

Are you stealing my traits?
Aesa keeps smiling as she runs a hand through his hair.

[Kyrian]

Didn't know what else to do. Rafael closes his eyes slightly and shivers as she plays with his hair.

[AmberVael]

Aesa lightly and quietly laughs at Rafael and then hugs him.

[Kyrian]

Rafael puts his arms around her and kisses her forehead.

[AmberVael]

What do you want to do... with the time we have left?

[Kyrian]

How much time do we have left?

[AmberVael]

I don't know.

[Kyrian]

I would like to just hold you here in my arms.

[AmberVael]

Aesa nods and cuddles closer to him, folding her wings on her back.

[Kyrian]

Rafael gently brushes his hand through her hair, smiling.

[AmberVael]

What else do you want, Rafe?

[Kyrian]

Right now? Nothing.

[Lykan]

Kalar looks around the Spire for any sign of Aesa, holding his stump of a tail in one hand, as if in fear the rest of it might fall off if he were to let go.

[AmberVael]

Are you sure?

[Kyrian]

I don't think I can have the only two things I can think of, or that I'm even allowed.

[AmberVael]

Aesa raises an eyebrow questioningly.
Tell me? Please?

[Kyrian]

I want to be with you forever. To always be able to hold you like this. To wake up to your beautiful face every morning, and the last thing I see before I fall asleep. And...I wish there was some way you could be like this forever. Rafael gives a small chuckle. I guess that's really more than three. And I know it's cliched Aesa...but that's how I feel about you.

[AmberVael]

Aesa closes her eyes and rests her head against him.

[Kyrian]

Aesa? My desires didn't upset you, did they?

[Lykan]

Kalar sighs and flops down next to the locked door.

[AmberVael]

Aesa shakes her head.

[Kyrian]

Rafael goes back to gently stroking her hair.

[AmberVael]

What are you willing to give to get your wish?

[Kyrian]

Anything. Vampirism, my life, anything.

[AmberVael]

Shh. Make it something unique and different, but don't make it dramatic.
Aesa is speaking quickly now, as if fearing something.

[Kyrian]

I give up...my fate, to the Aesa here in my arms.

[AmberVael]

No please, Rafael just make it... make it...
She closes her eyes and curls a little tighter, struggling against something.
Don't...

[Kyrian]

Ok. Rafael pulls her close. I give up my evil past. Without having to change what's happened recently, here.

[AmberVael]

You don't... get... you're making... contract...

[Kyrian]

What's going on? Rafael looks completely worried.

[AmberVael]

Aesa shakes her head, tightening into a ball. She starts crying.
