spilling blood in the night

[Amaryllis]

(( Kael: ): *phails at all the womanly ... woman-ness* ))

Kael raised an eyebrow. So, she was a phantom from his early years, perhaps in a different form. He should've known that there were ladies like this everywhere. At least Keana wasn't putting up with her too easily - that had to be a good sign. "She sounds positively delightful," he murmured to Keana through his teeth, hoping that Aila couldn't hear. He turned his white orbs on the woman before them, and watched as she shifted gracefully to her more natural form. He could certainly see where she could be the alluring type, but he had only to glance at the other female in the vicinity and all thoughts of Aila were effortlessly banished from his mind.

"My name is Kaelije. It's a pleasure," Kael said cooly, hoping Keana would catch the fact that it wasn't, really. "Now what, may I ask, justifies your bothering us? We're hunting, you might recall."

Hunting? asked the little corner of Kael's brain that tended to speak in Sibine's voice. More like playing tag. Annoyed with himself, Kael shut this part of himself up and stared, almost defiantly, at Aila. He wasn't going to let any little femme mess with Keana. That was the long and short of it.

[silvertip]

( ST:-laughs her brain off-
Keana:-sigh-)

Keana's ears twitched at Kael's murmur. Her long tial curled around his hind legs just below his stomach. Her body language said to Aila, he's mine. "You don't know the half of it." she grinned. Aila tilted her head innocently. "Yes, you should know Bikeana." she clinched her teeth treatningly in a toothy grin.

Even more closer the delicate blue figure circled the two. "Don't worry dear, I won't break you up." she purred almost hissing as she cirled slowly, her gold tial fluff wiggled while the rest was still. "We aren't together." said Keana half not liking what Aila siad, and half not liking her response.

"Tsk, tsk, you shouldn't deny yourself. You are clearly in love." she said closing her eyes and swaying her head lightly in a short distence. With that, she quickly brushed on Kael like a house cat and ended her circle to face them both.

"Kael, can we go back?" Keana whispered in his ears. She was asurable irratated. Her crimson ears twitched unsurable.

Aila laughed. "No my dear Keana, you aren't going anywhere." she grinned. "You see, you or me isn't leaveing till I get what I want." Her tial swished back and forth excitedly.

[Amaryllis]

(( Ams: *giggling* *likeths aila*
Kael: @___@ all ze women~!!! *faintofdistress* ))

Kael had to restrain himself when Aila 'brushed' past. He would have liked nothing more than to lash out at the immodest femme, but what purpose would that serve? That was what she wanted him to do! She was deriving some sick pleasure from the torment of himself and Keana, and Kael was getting sick and tired of it.

"If you'll excuse us," Kael said smoothly, nudging Keana away gently with his shoulder and turning to walk away down the alley. "We have better things to do than to deal with the petty insults of a marionette like yourself." It was one thing when Sibine teased him - he knew then that she was just messing around with him. If she said he was in love, it would be in a mocking, teasing manner, far different from Aila's wicked tones. Kael was certain which manner he preferred.

[silvertip]

Keana quickly tried to make her way out of the allyway. But, Aila quickly darted to stop her. Bikeana started to growl. "Now, now, no need to be violent." Aila said grinning as Keana got even more aggressive.

"Give me one reason why I shouldn't." she growled back. With that Aila lifted her head high and gave a more superior look. "Because, unlike you and your...... weirdo, I have a cast." Bikeana started laughing. "Who would put up with you? Kael isn't weird either!" and with that she leaped and pinned Aila on the ground, but the Temptation scratched her stomach and kicked her off.

[Amaryllis]

Kael watched the scene unfold before him, feeling more and more forgotten. It was obvious that these two ladies had some severe issues between them, and it looked like said issues were going to start causing some major problems. Namely, a massive bitch-fight in the middle of the alley.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Kael said quickly. "We're not going to solve this if not all of us are in one piece." He nudged Keana aside with his muzzle, then snarled at Aila to, hopefully, scare her into backing off, though he thought he might have to take more ... painful measures. Aila didn't seem like the type that would get too worried about someone - even one of a higher rank - threatening her. She seemed like the type that would simply look pretty and worm her way out of the situation.

If she has any intellect at all, Kael thought wryly, she'll know that that isn't going to work with me. Even if Keana wasn't here.

[silvertip]

Right before Kael finally said something, Keana swiped Aila's shoulder. With some hissing, and teeth showing they decided to listen to Kael. "He's right sweetie, we shouldn't kill eachouther. I know I have a Puppet Master waiting for a Marionette not a couple of peices." With that, Aila nodded elegently at Kael. This, just made Bikeana want to kill her now. If it weren't for Kael she would've been tearing her to peices. Infact, she had never been this mad before. Bikeana is a hot head Blood, but not around those she cares for. She only gets mad at those she doesn't know or those she hates.

With a smirk Aila moved towards Keal almost looking him right in the face. "So, shall you start?" she grinned. "You do seem like the peace maker type. I like that." she flicked her tial and gave him a sexy wink. Poor Kael.

[Amaryllis]

Kael was so furious that, for several moments, he could find absolutely nothing to say. Finally, he decided on "Control yourself, marionette." He had thought that he had made it absolutely clear how very uninterested he was in Aila, though he might not have gotten through to her; he sometimes forgot that he was in a new part of the world, where he no longer had the reputation that had followed him all his life - that of a loner, a woman-hater. He had come here to get a new start on his life, and he had found just the thing he was looking for in Falichesco - and now he had Keana to complete the image. He didn't need this shameless Marionette comnig in and messing everything up by bringing out his bitter side.

Kael did not call himself a Murderer for nothing, however. He stepped over to stand in front of Keana, his face grim. This was a trick he saved for a last resort; it was not like him at all, of course, so it only worked in this sort of situation, when he was dealing with a complete stranger. He half-closed his eyes, so that the whites were barely visible, and his voice took on a soft, hollow quality. "Do you know," he said quietly, "how easy it would be for me to just reach out and kill you, right now?"

He felt a wild grin crawl onto his face of its own accord, and he hoped to The Powers That Be that Keana couldn't see it. Kael was very much aware that said grin was not attractive in the least; he had shown it to Sibine, and she had informed him that he looked like a maniac. This was, of course, the desired image of the moment. He flexed his claws for extra emphasis.

[silvertip]

The Marionette grinned at Kael. "Don't you just want to go wild sometimes?" she said and blinked blankely. "To let lust control you, its not a bad life hunny." she twister her white paws so she wouldn't look at him head on, but still watched him with facination. Aila, wouldn't be the one to give up- at anything. Expically when it involved a male.

On the top of the roof looking down into the allyways, was a figure. A stealthy grin passed his face. He drapped his cape above him so the sun couldn't get to his fine figure.

Bikeana, shocked at seeing Kael so protective but it was a good feeling. She felt secure. "She's more dangerous than she looks." she whispered, her crimson coat shivering with anticipation. Her ivory daggers bit her lip as the tension got high.

Aila, quite surprised at Kael's reaction, but not intimadated simple took a step to the side. "Dear boy, I'm not the weak and frail pretty I appear." she smirked examining him with one crystal eye. "But, if you do manage to kill me." she paused. "My dear Puppet Master would be so dissapointed, and take it out on miss Bikeana and your fellow euclides. Oh tot how horrible." she said the last statement innocent, but fake.

[silvertip]

(OoC:yano, breedings are open. X3)

[Amaryllis]

(( ... *snork* I'm in.
Kael: ... *wonders if he has any say at all* ; ))

This was starting to get out of hand very quickly, and Kael did not like it. The mania was starting to feel more and more natural. Poppy was thudding away between his shoulderblades, and he could feel his limbs tingling with rage and longing to let the bitter, angry Kael control them. He tried to take deep breaths, but he did not like the way this femme was treating him and Keana.

"Lust," Kael said quietly, remembering a book he had enjoyed in the past, "is the gateway to despair. To live without lust is to live without pain. To live without pain is to truly live." His tail swung back and forth in an almost hypnotic motion, brushing the earth just enough to stir up faint, evanescent clouds of dust. Though he didn't plan to be the first to attack, he would defend his pride if necessary.

Of course, being the Kael that he was, even through the intensity of his inner struggle he managed to think: Stronger than I look? Wonderful.

[silvertip]

(-pokes- no Kael, you don't. -snork ha with Ams-
I already sent in some forms for mine so, I guess you'll have to send if IF you pry Kael off the bed.)

Aila blinked at him. Her figure breathed smoothly. Ah, he was trying to control himself. It pittied her, whether he wanted her to or not, he was holdin everything in. Not just his angry, but everything. Though, it was hard to spot what the 'everything' was she'd figure it out. As she always. As he spoke she stood completely still. Her flexed muscles shivered every once in a while. Soft pink tongue wetted her lips as she paused to think about his response.

Then she looked down in a pittiful way. Looking innocent, she said with quivering lips, "well, I guess thats true." she paused to look away. "I haven't been in despair thanks to it. I haven't." she shook her head while it was low.

Bikeana, getting sick of having a bodyguard pushed her way through Kael. "And where IS your puppet master?" she growled having enough of Aila's bragging. Aila quickly went from innocent child, to defensive warrior. Her back bristled like a thousand spines on her back. White canine's bared and hissed.

Before either could tear eachouther, or Kael could get in the way a black blur went between the two femmes. "I beleive I'm already here." said a deep, shadowy, vioce demanding respect. He faced Aila with light orbs examining her disdainfully. "You are lying dear, your not my prized Marionette." he hissed obviously making it clear that was displeased. Golden wing flaps posed at his chest making it clear he didn't want her around. Aila had learn much about body language, and she knew it was time to exit, and she did. He watched her leave untill she wasn't to be seen. He turned to the to felines. "Oh, poppycock I'm sorry for being so rude. I am Jekuia, and I'm sure you know my rank." he grinned. Just like that, he switched into his brittish gentleman accent. "I'm sorry my.... charming Marionette was bothering you. She tells lie's and wishes to be a puppet master's precise Marionette." he said inspecting them both.

(your right. You can right alot of stuff with three characters!)

[Amaryllis]

(( >D *sending the form right now* I'll make him if I have to; they are going to have drop-dead gorgeous bebbes. And ... Speaking of gorgeous. *melted at the pretty chiroptae boy* ))

Kael had to admit that he was rather surprised at the abrupt end to his confrontation. Perhaps that marionette did have respect for authority, even if that authority had to be a Puppet Master. Kaelije also had a respect for authority, and he bowed politely to this new arrival, admiring the velvety black of his top hat and hoping desperately that Jekuia hadn't seen his show of crazy. While it made an effective technique at scaring off potential enemies, it didn't make a very good first impression.

"Thank you for that, Jekuia, friend," Kael said, making sure that his tail hung to the ground and that he showed humility and respect. "A confrontation of any degree would have been unpleasant; you've saved us all a good deal of trouble. I am Kaelije, and you may have met, or at least heard of, my companion Bikeana." He nodded toward her, deciding, for the moment, not to mention Poppy, who had, defying all laws of physics, remained on his back this whole time.

In reality, Kael was even more relieved than he sounded that a fight had not taken place. Though he wasn't awful at wrestling away those with ill intentions, he doubted that he could break up a fight between the two ladies in question. Keana was, apparently, a bit hot-blooded (pun intended) around this particular femme, and Aila ... quite honestly, she made him rather nervous. Watching them rip each other to shreds was not his idea of a good time.

[silvertip]

(I know, black and red bebe's. And Kael wanted to stand in the way. -shakes head-
Jekuia:-smirks and tilts is top hat-
Don't get him too spoiled!
With any luck he'll have a bunck of babies and......<.<>.> you may have one if there is more than one.)

The Chiroptea sighed. She would never change, not even at the mercy of claws. He was just hoping his 'reputation' wasn't ruined. But, then again he didn't have much of one. With his claw thumb, he adjusted the hat to a down-ward in a slanted angle. It shadowed much of his face and almost all of his left eye. Depending on the eyes, it might have looked silly or mysterious. He prefered the mysterious.

"Yes, she's a pest." he chuckled. If Aila was there, she would've tried to shred him. "It is wonderful to meet you, Kaelije, and you Bikeana." Yes, he had heard of her, the name was definatley familar. He had sat around for hours listening to that silly Marionette rant on about her, of course he was planning on different things but when you were caught by Aila, you were caught no matter what the excuse. "So, I guess you are the 'mortal enemy'?" he grinned playfully shifting her eyes over to Keana.

Bikeana, frozen at what happen surely thought they were both toast. Finally she could breath from her white maw. Infact, she had completely forgotten about the hunting from these confortations. "Yes, I'm Bikeana like Kael said, Puppeteer and Blood type." she said, eyes wandering expecting Aila to pounce from the shadows. When that was all done she quickly fixed her gaze back on Jekuia.

"So, are you two in a cast?" he inquired remembering what Aila had said before he swouped down. 'Did they have outhers?' is what plaqued his mind.

[Amaryllis]

(( ^______^ YEY. I can't wait to see what he ... produces. >.> I'd flingeth my chiroptae lady at him if I thought she would be at all willing to have a Fling. Because it would have to be a Fling. Hisik and committed relationships are like oil and water. >< ))

"She - if you will forgive me for saying so - seemed like the sort that could wear on the nerves," Kael smiled, intending his comments to be in good fun. It appeared that this puppet master was sufficiently grounded enough to know that his marionette could be a shade intolerable to some. He had a hard time, however, picturing Keana as anyone's 'mortal enemy;' she was far too ... well, she was far too Keana-like. If it hadn't been for that impressive display of aggression moments ago, he would have fondly assumed that she wouldn't hurt a fly. It might have been a silly assumption of a Blood-type, but he would have gone right on and assumed it anyway, simply because he was Kael.

"Murder, also a Puppeteer," Kael chimed in, feeling foolish for not having remembered the important part of his introduction. He was on much more informal terms with most of the other Euclide in his life, and he simply never needed such formalities as mentioning his type and rank. However, seeing as he was dealing with a puppet master, it seemed polite to mention them.

At this next question, Kael shook his head. "Eventually, perhaps," he admitted, "But I have not found a fitting Cast at the moment. I'm quite comfortable in my Theatre, for now, as well, though we've no puppet master to keep things in order." Even more comfortable, now that Keana was going to be about. It was going to be nice to have someone that he could talk to without having to argue.

[silvertip]

(He's mating with a Insanity Mustidae Marionette.I've seen your Chiroptea, she cute and very prettyful. They would make wonderful babies. We should rp them together.)

"Yes indeed so." he nodded. His eyes started to wander, to the allyway filthe. Ugh, not to pretty. His large sensetive ears flung back to the shadows. Aila was most likely not here, he was sensing for outhers and listening to the humans parade there lives. It would be night soon, in a few hours, and the humans reflected that by settling down some. But they weren't about to stop completely, to squeeze the last of the day was there priority.

Jekuia almost sneered-almost. Though, he didn't. An earlier brush with another Murder left him scepticle of the type. He knew that Kealije was a Murder, but hearing the words from the own coal-black maw was worse than knowing. Jekuia wouldn't judge Kael for his type, no, he was better than that.

"We are kinda in a group, not an offical Cast." she staggered in after Kael, looking up at him to see if she said the right thing. Then she nestled into the ground in a sitting position. She would let Kael do the talking, he probably had more social skilled.

"Is that so, I am quite new around here. I barely have a cast. I have 3 members in my cast, all females." he laughed. He wanted some male company, periode. With a pause, he continued. "If you lend an ear I can tell you more."
