Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eligos woke up early enough to catch the sunrise. It was beautiful and it was one of his favorite parts of the day. Watching the sun rise or fall, it was simply magical to behold. After a moment, he got up and pulled his boxers on. He had thought about flashing his morning wood in Sariel's face, but by the time he would have gotten over there it would have been gone.
"Sariel, get up. Breakfast will be here soon and I want to leave as soon as we're done eating."

Eligos got dressed as he talked to Sariel, hoping that she wouldn't get up right away. He wanted to shake her awake and make her mad. He loved it when she was feisty. After he was dressed and Sariel still hadn't gotten up, he walked over to the sleeping angel and gave her breasts a firm squeeze. He was surprised at how big they were, clearly underestimating her body and feminine prowess.

Eli scurried away before he could get hit by the little angel. He was sure it would do more bad than it would good and just as he was about to say a smartass comment, there was a knock on the door. Eli opened it and got the food, tipping the server before closing the door again.
"Sariel, you need to be dressed and packed before you can eat."
Eli smirked at her and then finished getting dressed, making sure to brush his hair. He pulled his shoes on and then went over to the couch where he started eating breakfast. After both of them were finished with their meal, Eli waved at Sariel to follow him and brought her to the front where his car was waiting for them.

Eli opened the door for Sari and let her get in before climbing into the driver's seat and taking off. He wanted to get home as soon as possible and then he would finally be able to relax.
"You're going to love my house. It's beautiful there. It makes you feel close to nature."
Eli made short conversation with Sariel on the long drive home, making sure to have a rebuttal for every comment that she made as well as a comment of his own.

As they grew closer to his home, Eli grew more and more excited. He couldn't wait to be in the privacy of his home once more. They finally pulled onto his driveway and began the five minute drive to the house. When they pulled up to the gate, Eli made sure that Sariel couldn't see the code he punched in to open the gates. He was going to have to up the security on the manor soon and he knew that, but for now he had the best possible security which Sariel would have to meet later. Eli pulled up to the front of the house and parked the car. He jumped out of the car and took a deep breath in. The air was so fresh where he lived and it was so refreshing. He was going to miss it if he ever had to go back home.

"Come on Sariel. I'll give you the grand tour."

Eligos could tell that Sariel was irritated and he was slightly disappointed. He wanted her to reveal in the majesty of his house, but it was clear that she still wasn't over him buying her. Eli decided to ignore her bad attitude and lead her towards the garage. The garage was surprisingly quiet as Eli approached which made him frown. It was never a good sign when it was quiet. Opening the door, he was not prepared for the giant Hellhound that leaped and pinned him to the ground. Eli cried out as he was covered in kisses from the great big dog and struggled underneath her for a little bit before he was finally able to get her off.
"Sariel, this is Molly. Molly, meet Sariel. If she tries to run away, it's your job to make sure she stays. Okay sweeties. Oh yes." Eli cooed at the dog which made her wag her tail furiously.

"Molly here is the best tracking hound we've had in awhile and don't let her size fool you. She's also one of the fastest we've had.
"
Eli gave Molly a few more pets before he pushed her away so that they could go about their business. He pointed out where the barn and paddock was and where the lake was before leading Sariel to the house. Once inside, he showed Sariel the house, making sure to leave her bedroom for last. He had already called ahead and order things to be prepared for her. When Eli peaked into her closet, he noticed that it was fully stocked like he had ordered. The bathroom was as well and once he was satisfied, he turned to Sariel.
"This is your room. I'll leave you here to get adjusted and settled in. Once you're hungry, come find me and I shall make you some lunch. Later, we can go down by the lake."

Eli left Sariel and went into his own bedroom down the hall where he flopped onto his bed. It felt nice to be back in his own home where people wouldn't stare at him. He relaxed on his bed for a bit before going down to the parlor where he began to play piano. The music he produced was absolutely beautiful and it would have been hard for anyone not to like.

Eligos played the piano for a while before he decided that he needed to catch up on some work. Returning to his room, he worked for a few hours before realizing that it was getting closer to lunch time. He hadn't seen Sariel since he had left her in her room, but he knew that she hadn't run away. She would have been stupid to with Molly about. Deciding to search for her later, Eli went down to the kitchen and made himself a simply lunch. Chicken Caesar Salad was one of his favorite meals and he ate it slowly as he mulled over things. He had reported that he had captured an archangel yet, but something was holding him back from calling up Lucifer and telling him. The last thing he wanted was for his little toy to be taken away from him, but he knew that Lucifer wouldn't want her sticking around long. Not unless Eli could make her fall.

After he finished his lunch, Eli returned to the parlor and called Lucifer. As expected, Lucifer was thrilled that he had been as fortunate as to have happened upon an archangel and to have had to forethought to purchase it. But of course, there was a price. Sooner or later, the angel would have to give up her wings and fall or die. Lucifer was hungry for her blood, but Eli made his feelings clear and Lucifer agreed to give him six month to make the angel fall or else he was coming for her.

By the time the call ended, it was getting close to supper time and Eli still hadn't seen the angel. He went up to her room, not bothering to knock and was surprised to find her naked on her bed. She was sleeping and for the first time since he had run into her again, she looked peaceful. Eli took a moment to take in the sight of her looking happy before he went over to her. He gently ran his hands over her body, as if not to disturb her. Finally, he took a few steps away from the bed.
"If I had known you slept naked as well I would have made you sleep with me last night. Two naked bodies are better than one and it helps keep you warm."

Eli rolled his eyes as the angel freaked out, yelling something about common decency and how demons were the worst.
"Yeah yeah yeah. I've heard it all before little one. Now get dressed. It's almost time for dinner."

Eligos laughed when Sariel began to get angry again. This was turning out to be a fun little game.
"For an angel, you sure are angry a lot. You've got to work on that wrath thing."
Eli chuckled and then turned serious for a moment.
"I gave you a room because I'm not going to make you sleep on the floor, but don't be mistaken. I own you and I will do whatever I want with you or to you and that includes walking into your room whenever I damn well feel like it."

Eli shook his head and then sighed. As much fun as having an angel around was going to be, it was also going to be a pain in the a**. Especially if she kept up her attitude. Eli lead her to the kitchen where he began to cook them dinner, deciding to make pasta with meat sauce for the main dish with buttered bread and salad on the side. As Eli cooked, he hummed to himself. He didn't like it when it was silent and so far the angel had offered up nothing in the way of conversation. As he hummed and cooked, Eli mulled over what he would have to do in order to get the angel to fall. The simplest answer was to get her to fall in love with him, but that would mean that he would have to give up on trickster and start being nice to her. Eli wasn't sure if he wanted to do that, especially since he had only just gotten his play thing. Maybe he would reconsider when he began to get bored of making her mad. In a way, it could be a challenge.

When dinner was finally done, Eli sat down with Sariel at the table and ate in silence for a little while. He was considering what to say carefully and finally landed on something that was safe.
"Tomorrow, you and I will be taking care of the horses. They need to be tended to regularly."
Eli knew it wasn't really the gateway to a conversation but at least it was something.

Eligos laughed when Sariel made backhanded comments about the animals and his cooking. He had spent enough time above ground to have gotten good at cooking for himself, seeing as there was no one else to do it for him.
"Ah but you forget Sariel that I was riding a horse when we first met. You may know him by the name Steed of Abigor, but I call him Bjorn. Maybe you've heard of him? Anyways, horses seem to like me just fine and Molly is a hellhound so it's onyl natural that she would like me."

Eligos waited a moment to see if she would remember Bjorn, but didn't linger on it long. He continued to eat his meal when he heard the fron door open. Pausing for a moment, he listened.
"Daddy, daddy, daddy!"
"Levi, my little junebug! Come here so I can see you."
Levi came running into the room and promptly flung herself down onto her father's lap, she swung her legs under the chair and wrapped her arms around her father's neck. Eli smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Daddy, you'll never believe what I did! I made a whole ship fall under my spell and they crashed right into the rocks! Mom said she's never be more proud of me."
Eligos smiled and hugged his daughter close to him.
"I'm so proud of you. But don't forget that you have powerful demon blood in you as well. You can use that to your advantage."
"Yes daddy, I know. Soon you'll have to train me in combat."
"I think you're deadly enough with just your voice. If I trained you in combat, I'd have to hide you so that no one would use you as a secret weapon."

Eligos booped Levi on the nose and they both laughed. That's when Levi finally took noticed of the angel that was sitting across from them. She blinked a few times, keeping the angel in her sight before she turned back to her father.
"Daddy, you didn't tell me that you captured an angel. You are most impressive!"
"I didn't capture her. I happened upon her at a slave market and decided to buy her."
"Have you broken her in yet? Daddy, will you get me my own angel? Oh please!"
"Maybe when you're a little bit older. As for breaking her in, I only just got her yesterday. She's still adjusting to her surroundings. Are you staying the night tonight little junebug?"
"I can't stay tonight but I'll come back soon!"

Eli and Levi kissed goodbye and just like that, Levi was gone once again. Eli looked at Sariel and raised his eyebrow, daring her to say something bad about his daughter. Naturally, he treasured her and he wouldn't allow anyone to say anything bad about her.
"Her mother is a siren if you hadn't figured it out. Her and I don't get along very well and sadly, she decided that she was going to keep Levi for the most part. Now that she's old enough Levi comes and goes as she pleases.... I've always thought about having another child. Levi is most precious to me and I just adored her when she was an infant. I would like to have that again."

Eli stayed silent for a few moments before shaking his head and then continuing to eat. It was clear that neither his daughter nor the fact that he wanted more children was up for debate and any comments would not be treated with kindness. After dinner was done, Eli looked at the clock and watched as the sky began to darken.
"It's too late to go down to the lake today, but maybe we can go tomorrow afternoon. I can show you the lake house as well."

Eligos sat quietly at the table while he finished his dinner, thinking about everything that had happened in the past two days. He wondered how he was going to get the angel to fall in love with him, knowing that it would be the only way to make her lose her wings. Mulling over things, he waited until Sariel was done with her food before grabbing the plates and clearing the table. He washed the dishes and left them to dry, hating it when his house was messing and making sure it was clean and well maintained.

Eligos sat back down at the table and continued to mull over things, wondering what to do with the angel. Finally, he came to a decision.
"I'm going to go take care of the horses and make sure they have everything they need for the night. You can join me if you wish or explore the house and get to know your surroundings. Just remember, Molly will catch you if you try to run away."
With that, Eli stood up and headed towards the stables.

Eligos brushed out all of the horses, making sure to pay extra attention to Bjorn. He chatted with him and made sure that he was doing well and that he was happy. Bjorn meant a lot to Eligos and they had a special bound with each other. It was important to Eli to keep him happy and he promised that they would go out riding tomorrow. After all the horses were brushed out, he made sure that they all had plenty of food and water for the night before locking up the stable.

When Eli was done with the horses, he swung by the shed to make sure that Molly had food and water for the night as well. Upon arriving at the shed, he noticed that she wasn't there and assumed that she was out wondering the grounds. Filling her dishes quickly, he began to head back to the house. It was getting dark and he wanted to make sure that the house was locked up before nightfall. He called out to Sariel and once it was confirmed that she was indeed in the house, Eli began to lock up. He was a private person and enjoyed being able to keep pesky, unwanted visitors out if he so choose to. It just happened that he would rather be able to sleep at night in peace than worry about someone busting into his home.

Once the house was locked up for the night, Eli went and found Sariel. He wanted to make sure that she had stayed out of trouble, but he didn't know what to do after that. It was clear that the angel hated him and no matter what he said, he wasn't going to be able to change her mind so easily.

Eligos found Sariel in the living room, curled up with a book. He smirked, knowing that she had probably rolled her eyes upon having him lock up the house. He watched as she completely dismissed him and for a moment, he considered what to do.
"I don't know if you've realized this yet, but there are far worse things than to have been purchased by myself. If you had been found by another demon, I assure you that your fate would not be as pretty as this. As for locking up the house, because I'm sure that you turned up your pretty little nose at it, I'll say again that there are far worse things than me lurking about out there. When the house is locked, no other demon besides myself can enter the house. Not even Levi would be able to barge in in her usual fashion. So if you like where your wings are or just in general like being alive, I wouldn't suggest unlocking that door at night."

Eli was completely serious as he spoke and without giving the angel a chance to reply, he walked out of the room. He didn't care for her snide remarks at the moment and headed to his study to get some work done. He had some reports to fill out and if he didn't get them done soon, surely he would be scolded. Once he was in his office, Eli turned on some classical music and then got to work. The reports were long and tedious, but he had to do them. He didn't emerge from his office until a few hours later and by that time, it was time for bed. As he was getting dressed for bed, which to be honest was getting dressed down for bed, Eli thought about what he had told Sariel. He had warned her of the other demons that tended to lurk about his manor, but he had forgotten to tell her that he was the only one that was able to unlock the house. If she tried to run away in the middle of the night, the house would prevent her from even opening the door.

Eli laughed when he thought of this. He hoped the angel wasn't that stupid, but he was still getting to know her. Maybe she would try to escape. Even if she did, it would be entertaining for him. Maybe he would make her sleep in his room as punishment. Eligos laughed once more as the entertaining thoughts filled his head. It was a nice way to amuse himself before crawling into bed and turning the lights off. Small flames flickered in the fireplace, magicked to lower when he was sleeping and brighten when he was awake as well as to stay in place. There was no way he was going to let his beautiful house burn down while he was asleep. Stretching out, Eligos found a comfortable position to lay in and then promptly fell asleep.
