spilling blood in the night

[silvertip]

(~coff~ At first I wanted to finally get a vicious euclide. But I just can't.O.o to many sheltie hugs. Yes, they are quite to duo. ~grins with Ams~ ha, what would Kael think?)

Keana wouldn't show any tears. It wasn't in her nature to show any big weaknesses. And she wouldn't have him thinking she was the emotionalbly unstable girl as she was. As he caught up to her she slowed down so they could talk, but not at a fast pace.

She, herself was quite surprised that he wanted to make everything better. Most wouldn't want to deal with an over emotional female. Looking at him, a small smile passed her face. "its fine." She siad when he paused. "maybe your right." She said with some consideration. Each time daddy got in a fight, he would come over to use and do another training session. Bikeana always thought it was because he was taking it out on her siblings and her. Maybe what Kael said is true. "I'm think they did, why would they always fight over us?" She said chuckling at moms arguement of 'I when through the contractions so I get to raise them!'.

[Amaryllis]

(( Kael ... would probably cry or bite. Or both. >D Very nice last line, by the way. *muchly amused* ))

Kael smiled as well. Good, he thought. She's okay. The murder absolutely hated seeing people upset, mostly because he never knew quite how to react. A little bit of it, of cousre, was probably because he had his share of reasons to cry in the past (though none quite as drastic as Keana's) and he didn't like to be reminded of them if at all possible.

"And you turned out okay, didn't you?" Kael added, smiling slyly and waving his tail a bit. Poppy, who was resting at this point between Kael's shoulder blades, thumped along merrily, as though glad that his friend was feeling a bit better about the situation.

Kael looked around, and noticed finally that they were nearing the cobblestone paths of the town. "We're getting close," he announced, gazing around at the world slowly waking up to greet the day.

[silvertip]

Keana didn't like being upset around outhers as much as Kael didn't like to be around upset people. She felt that they always had to make sure everything was fine, She didn't like making them feel obliged to make her feel better.

She was feeling alot better now. "I beleive I turned out o-k." she said puffing out her blood stained chest. Smiling again she picked up the pace. She couldn't wait to see his home, and friends.

trotting, even faster at his announcement Bikeana siad happily "I can't beleive we stayed up all night. I'm gonna nap like a little kitten tonight." She siad, her face beaming.

[Amaryllis]

Kael smiled, a bit bemused at the fact that he had successfully cheered Keana up - quite a lot, by the looks of it. Thankful that they could return to their banter, he laughed a bit. "I must agree," he said, winking in a way that was obviously intended to look ridiculous. Done with that, he turned for a moment to inspect their surroundings. A few more turns, and we're there, he thought to himself, feeling irrationally happy all of a sudden. This should be entertaining.

At this next comment, Kael had to agree. "I usually manage to catch some sleep after hunting," he said, "though, if I'm up late, I'm usually not the only one." In fact, business around the theatre was often the reason why he was awake.

Eventually, Kael found that he could see his theatre, just down an alley off the street they were currently on. "Ah, there it is," he announced. "Home sweet home." He turned down the alley and finally came to a stop in front of the ancient wooden doors, guarded by sculptures of both humans and beasts. All in all, it was a formidable sight, almost three stories tall with boarded-up windows and a large, peeling sign that read 'Falichesco.' "The naming was somewhat recent," Kael commented. "We just thought that we'd fix up the sign so it fit with the look of the place."

Kael glanced over at Keana, curious as to what she thought. He was well aware that looking at the building evoked very different reactions from different sorts of people. For one thing, a perfectionist would look at the place and have a heart attack. Kael, on the other hand, was very fond of it. It kept most of the humans away, in any case.

[silvertip]

At his comment, she couldn't help herself but turn her head away smiling sheepishly. The walk was very nice, She felt really good and refreshed. She liked to walk, it got her stimulated.

"Yeah, after a meal I take a nice long relaxing nape. You know, for digestion." She said alittle surprised at the hard cobble stone street. Believe it or not, she hadn't been in the town for awhile. Keana usually stayed on more natural settings. The ground was softer, and not as much humans. Besides she liked the free feeling of the wild.

At the magnificent theater, BiKeana couldn't stop staring. "Kael" She said still admiring the sight. "its beautiful to say the least." She said wanting to hug him for bringing her to such a place. She ran to the sculptors and traced them with her paws. Her theater was very small and at not even completely finished yet she guarded it with her life. Probably just because she had nothing else that was hers.

[Amaryllis]

"You like it?" Kael laughed, pleasently surprised at just how much Keana had immediately taken to his theatre. "I'm glad." Kael was quite proud of his home; ever since he had come to live there, he had taken on various projects, tidying things up, for instance, and actually giving the building a name other than 'the theatre.' It wasn't just him -- all of the residents had made it a priority to turn the run-down theatre into a comfortable place to live in.

Kael padded up to the door and nudged it with the crown of his head, letting it swing open into the inner darkness. "You can come in anytime," he said teasingly to Keana, before entering himself.

The main hall was impressive - statues were everywhere, most of them originals of the theatre, and the red carpet was barely worn. The arched ceiling was held together with dark wood, and banners hung from the rafters high above. Everything was obviously perfectly clean at one point, but one could tell by looking around the room that it was at least slightly used. An arched door near the back of the room lead into the theatre itself; the rest of the building could be accessed from backstage.

"I'm home," Kael called loudly, stepping into the room and feeling the crimson carpet beneath his paws. The blood on his paws barely differed from the red hues of the ground beneath him.

[silvertip]

"Yes, yes I do." Keana said in an innocent child like way. Her crimson tial swayed wildly. Then she trotted egarly towards Kaels side grinning. It was alot better than her little runt of a building. But it was all she had and she liked it. It was nice and simple.

Bikeana followed Kael into the bowls of his theatre. Her ears perked foward interested in her sorroundings. "its perfect." she purred to Kael. She took a few steps forward, and looked back grinning playfully. "having fun showing off?" She said, knowing he must have been proud of the place.

Keana grin grew more expecting outhers to come after his yell. They would probably yell at him for bringing home a blood! She couldn't wait to see there expressions.

[Amaryllis]

"Showing off?" Kael asked innocently. "I have no idea what you're talking about." Swishing his bushy tail vaguely, he ambled toward the door to the main theatre and was about to step through, when something blue came bounding out of it.

"Where have you been?" the blue Euclides asked fiercely. "It's morning already, and -- oh, hello," Sibine said, her anger vanishing the moment she saw a strange red feline standing just inside the door of her theatre. "Kindly tell me who -"

"Relax, Sib," Kael said tiredly. He smiled apologetically at Keana before continuing. "Keana, this is Sibine, I might have told you about her? Sib, this is Bikeana, my guest."

"You could warn me before you start bringing strange females into my theatre," Sibine muttered so that only Kael, she hoped, could hear, before smiling at Keana. "My apologies. Welcome to Falichesco."

Ava, Kael was relieved to note, was nowhere to be seen. He thought he could see something white and Bindi-shaped on the stage in the distance, and ... well, who knew where Lisibita had gotten off to?

[silvertip]

Bikeana was caught off guard by Sibine. She even felt some what intimedated. She steped back from the two euclides. Her silky tial twitched nervously.

At his apology, she reterned it with a smile of her own. Stepping foward Keana curtsied, "its nice to meet you, Sibine" She smiled warmly. She didn't want to get on this Euclides bad side.

She didn't have any more comments on Sibine. Keana was eager to see the outher casts member. She looked where Kael was looking, but failed to see anything.
(sorry its short.)

[Amaryllis]

(( No problem. ^^ *really doesn't mind* ))

Kael noticed Keana's worry at Sibine, and couldn't help but be slightly amused. Knowing Sib as he did, he knew that she would only harm those she knew very well. Kael was one of those unfortunate souls, but Keana was not - anyway, Sibine wouldn't harm his guest. She had some tact, deep inside her, that she pulled out when she had to be polite.

"Don't worry about her," Kael said, not bothering to talk quietly as Sibine had become occupied with brushing her tail. "She's completely harmless, at least where you're concerned. Just glare at her and tell her you're of higher ranking if she gives you any grief. Which she won't," he added, glancing over at Sibine because she was snarling at the back of his head.

"I should hope," Sibine said firmly, "that you'll be a bit more polite to Bindi."

Kael grinned wickedly. "Sibine, you know I'm only like this with people of lower rankings."

"You're really asking for it!" Sibine said in mock-fury, before laughing and swatting in Kael's general direction with her carefully-preened tail. "I'm sorry," she continued, turning to Keana, "that you've been dealing with him all night. It must be wearing on you."

"Ha ha," Kael snapped at Sibine, before turning to Keana as well and grinning, hoping that Keana realized that this wasn't how he treated all Euclide. "Shall we continue?" he asked, nodding toward the entrance to the main theatre.

[silvertip]

"of course I'm not worried." She grinned. "I have you by my side!" she siad batting her eyelashed in a silly manner. Sibine was quite stunning, thought Keana. She was abit jealous of her rank, beauty, and bushy tail. Her tial was puffy, but not as much as hers. She hated feeling jealous and just watched them in the quarrel.

Bikeana couldn't help laughing, Kael was being a pain to Sib and she was gonna whail on him. If it wasn't for Keana being there, Sibine would've done it.

"You have to deal with him all the time so I don't complain." she said laughing and looking at Kael in a 'hey, I'm just jokin.' kind of way.

"yes, lets continue." she siad trotting foward looking up and taking it all in.

[Amaryllis]

"Oh, well, of course," Kael said gruffly, puffing up his smooth black fur and strutting a bit. "What would you do without me?" After a bit of that, he deflated and grinned in what he accurately judged to be a very silly manner. Sibine cocked an eyeridge, but refrained from saying anything that would get her a claw in the leg.

At Keana's next comment, Kael pretended to be mortally offended, turning his head and closing his eyes in pain and sorrow. Sibine let out a bit of a giggle. "Nice to see I'm not the only sane one in the world," she said, winking at Keana before rising and shaking her silky blue fur. "Well, I was just about to go off hunting, so I'll bid you two farewell. Nice to meet you, Bikeana," she added with a white smile, before trotting out the big wooden doors.

"Lovely thing, isn't she?" Kael said sarcastically once she had gone, before nodding and stepping into the main theatre. It was a large room with countless rows of old wooden seats surrounding a large proscenium stage draped in velvety red curtains. As Kael approached the stage, he saw that yes, the white form was Bindikaei, and she was looking rather sleepy, her eyes half-shut over the book she had spread out at her feet.

Bindi glanced up in mild surprise at the unfamiliar lady Kael had brought. "Hello?" she asked, opening her eyes all the way and swishing her long tail.

"Keana, this is Bindikaei. Bindi, Bikeana." Having made the introductions, Kael turned to Keana and took on a very quiet voice. "You'll have to understand," he murmured, "She's a subconcious, so ... don't think anything you don't want her to know, okay?" That being said, Kael smiled sweetly up at Bindi, who was still looking vaguely tired.

"Pleasure," Bindi said politely, closing her book, though she kept a paw between the pages to save her place.

(( Amazing how much you can write when you play three characters. <_<; ))

[blufly]

ooc| I just wanted to pop in and say that Bindikaei is a beauty. < 3 -cough- That's it, carry on. XD

[Amaryllis]

(( :B Thanku much, Blu. <333

Bindi: ^^ *blissfully ignorant* ))

[silvertip]

With Keal's commetn she just rolled her eyes when he wasn't looking. As Sibine leaved, BiKeana put in a "Nice to meet you to." and a nod of her red hued head. She twitched her ear and to say 'common, common bring them on!'

Pale orbs searched ever nook and cranny in the room. Looking like blood in the shadows, Keana approached Bindikaei. Bindikaei herself, looked like mists made from diamond.

nodding to Keal, she'd understand. But she wasn't sure how she was gonna react to a Subconsious. don't think secrets, don't think secrets. She thought in her mind hoping Bindi wouldn't pick it up.

"Hello, I'm Bikeana but you probably heard from Kaels announcement." she said grinning. "I'm a Blood puppetteer." she turned to her anthro form and bowed. Anything so she wouldn't have to think of her dark secrets.....
