Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryo's eyes narrowed, his look still the same, emotionless. "You don't get it. I already did. I'm giving up both. My emotions so that I don't hurt someone else who actually does care about me. Remember, you're the second. Not a good record for me...2 out of 2 hurt." He gives a faint "ha". "I see how my luck is going and....I'm not going to take someone else along for a ride of pain emotionally." Ryo closes his eyes. "My job is obviously getting in the way of too many things, so I'm quitting everything. Being a mercenary, a head knight to a castle....everything. I'll just live here like a normal person. There's no use in being a hero. I couldn't save my parents, hell I can't even save myself half the time. It's better for me...for everyone if I made these changes. On top of that, someone else is currently raising my son! Well, mentoring...raising. Same thing in my book. What kind of a father have I become? He'll end up hating me if I keep this up!"

Ryo opens his eyes, sighing. He was too rock solid in emotion right now to even think of crying. "It's too much of a plague for me to continue as I have. So, I give up both." He nods a bit, closing his eyes once more.

Elias put his hand on her sister's shoulder. "Now is not the time for scabbles dear. as long as the vampire keeps his feeding apart from those in the manor, he shall remiain here." Elias said growin muc more strean then was his habit. He made his way over to the table. "care to join us bother, are you still a comfirmed sober, and how about you sister, come let us drink, to famliy and to love." he said as he raised his shoot glass and pulled back te glass like it was water. Elias reached over to Naliah and put his hand, under her chin. "No need to be so sad, my dear, you look muc more beautiful when you smile." he said as he looked in her eyes, his reptialina ones full of the love that he had for her, even when he couldn't indulge as msh as he wanted.


*Edit*
"He is Vicente Fernandez, he is a Mexican icon, one of the greatest voices ever to sing our songs, he is called Chente for short." He said as he lauughed at the face the Cym had made. "Actually dear bother it can get much stronger, this is the cheap stuff. The good tequial bruns all th down and out." He laughed as he took another sbot.

Pheaura took a step towards Ryo, "I am really sorry for putting you through this." She took another step towards him so that their bodies were almost touching. She wrapped her arms around him. "Ryo, I love you and I do not want to give you up. I thought I had to so you could do what you wanted." She kissed him gently on the cheek. "Well, that is if you still want me in your life."

She heard the word vampire and loked at THorel. His fangs showed and seh saw another smiling. A face, laughing, red eyes full of emotion. A liar. A cheat. A heartbreaker. And another face just like the fanged one. Vivid green eyes and a come-hither smile. She looked at Elias but didn't see him. Instead she saw HIM. The one she had been forced to remember because of recent events. She downed the glass and picked up the bottle, making sure she took the vial with her. She tried very hard not to glare at the vampire but didn't succeed. "Nelphean...thank you." Then she hurried out of hte kitchen and found herself in the sitting room. She stood before the cheerfully roaring fire, it's tongues of flames seeming to mock her as they licked the wood. "Ra help me....I thought I was over him..." she tipped the bottle back and let the cool liquid slide down her throat.

Elias shot an upward glance to his sister, his hand erupting in green flames, he used his magic to gently push her off the vampire. "calm yourself dear, remember, they are the emotions of others not your own, relax this is not the time to be pointing fingers, we are all alove and well, er shall sort out why we are attacked by vampires later, now we must rest, it will do us no good if we fight amongst ourselves." He said in a calm voice.

Cymarron looked at him.

"you are out of balance with teh cycle. you take and give nothing. you feed on the living, sustaining a life that should have long passed. your arrogance killed other living things that coudl not surivive for lack of the food your corpse could have provided. and when you are destroyed..and we are certain something will destroy you..your bodies become as ash. even in death you give nothign back to the world."

"we may have bound our soul to the manor grounds, but our body will die in time. and it will feed things that live on the dead flesh, adn that will give rise to other life. that is why we are a Hunter, and you are a Leech."

Oh dear he said too much.

"and yes..Elias..we are still not drinking. you really want to see the Beast set free because we get intoxicated and can't control it?"

a look at Raven and a chuckle.

"seems our sister is a bit more...short tempered than us."

Elias rose from the table, "Cymarron take care of our sister, I'll go see if Naliah is fine" he said as he huried out of the door. Before leaving he flashed the vampire a silver crufix blessed by the pope himself, "You restrain yourself as well." he said as he flashed the icon once more and walked out into the sitting room. He looked at Naliah. he spoke directly into ther mind, trying to caress her with his wornds.


He's not here anymore, his not going to hurt you ever again, I promise.

Thorel raised an eyebrow at Elias's remark "Since when are you so accepting." he remebered the first night he came to the manor, the sharp if not slightly over-dramtic words he had spat at him. He then turned to Cymmaron, "You fault me for existing? For being what I am as if I chose it, or could change it? You are a fool cat. More so zhen i thought. What do you vant from me, do you vant me to plant trees? Would that change you mind about me?" he was now getting really aggitated, the hypocrisy was unbearable.
