Malaki Amanar Malaki watched Arabella practically moving like a spirit to the balcony and then to her closet. "It's just a cleansing ritual. Nothing bad." Malaki walked over to his bag a pulled out his smudge stick and a pack of matches. Malaki walked over to Arabella and followed her out. "Stand with your arms spread open and close your eyes. Think of happy thoughts. Or no thoughts. Anything but bad." He smiled and struck a match. The flame ignited the smudge stick quickly and he blew it out once it started to smolder. Malaki pulled her arms out and started to circle her. As he moved, he let the smoke raise across her skin. Soon the smudging was completed. He stepped back and looked at her. "You have been cleansed. Blessed be." Malaki slightly bowed and gave thanks. He soon smudged himself and thanked the God and Godess. "Now, would you like to parttake in my ritual?" |

Red just raised an eye brow? No just burst out of why he shouldn't try and kill his dad? Well..... that was.... unexpected. He then shrugged when she offered the piano performance, she wasn't even going to try and temp him a bit? Really? For some reason, that just left him a bit blank, and at the same time, kinda pissed him off. Or, maybe, it be better to say it put him back into his normal mood. He sighed, a bit on the heavy side. He was finding it hard to tell just what this chick's problem was. Was he that vasty out of luck with her? Not that he could argue, seeing as he had kicked her and all. But, he could set her free, long as she kept up. The marriage be more a formal thing in front of family, have a kid to satisfy them that it was really, then call it day and live rich. If she wanted out in the world, he'd just travel. He wasn't sure how much a blind girl could enjoy that, more so since it always be at night. But, she'd get ideas, so, that would just work itself out. He shrugged. Again, he didn't get her. Oh well, at least he could tell his Mother and Sis that he actually tried. The fact she refused just meant he didn't have to be an total ass to his family. He got up off the bed, and walked over to her, nodding as he said, "Um... Yeah, sure." He held his arm out rather awkwardly, he had been taught manors when young, escorting a lady being one of them. Unfortunately, he hadn't actually used any of them in years. To say he was rusty, was a bold understatement. To make it worse, he had missed the directions, and it would irk him to have to ask twice. He hated being asked things twice, so, why should he ever do it anyone else? Only made since. He sighed/grunted lightly, he was still pissy, only now he was pissy, unsure, a tad confused, and not sure which way to go. Just. Fucking. Great. |

Alex sighed softly as she heard his regular mood return. She head the servent rustle her skirts a bit, probably a cursty so Alex dismissed her with a bowed head. She then listened to her leave and Red walking to her side. When she took his arm he seemed a bit unsure. Not only of how to act, which she could feel the tension in his own actions. She guessed he'd forgotten his way around the new place. She chuckled a bit to herself softly then began walking down the hall to where she knew the main staircase was. Then the Ballroom would be seen off to their righht. She only took him a few steps in the right direction before letting him lead. Alex had one arm around his, her other hand resting on his forearm. She herself was tensed a bit, not used to the closeness but she kept face all too perfectly. She had one thing bugging her though. His question that she knew she'd left un answered even though her opinion was obvious. She knew she should tell him, she longed too, and that small voice kept telling her she was an ignoramous not to but against that all she kept her mouth closed and continued to walk with him. |

Red sighed, OK, this wasn't so hard. Right? Just had to be careful not to walk to slow or to fast. God, it was still annoying. He didn't mind her touch, or being close, in fact, he somewhat enjoyed that, it was more of the fact that he couldn't do it with out feeling flustered. After everything he'd done with a woman, you'd think this be easy. He'd done it halve ass and drunk before when he sprained his arm, hadn't been weird then, oh, wait, he had been 'Drunk'. He sighed, he saw the ball room, finally. One less thing to feel stupid and awkward about, "Turn right, were almost there." He said it a bit before starting to turn himself, he was sure there had to be a less blunt way to do that, but, well, it been four years since he had even thought about being proper, you forget stuff, fast. OK, the silence was getting to him, he had to have conversation, didn't matter what, "Err... so, how did you learn to play? Being blind and all? I mean, I can barely read sheet music, so, how in hell can you?" It was an honest question, if not asked ruffly. He was unease, till she started to answer, he'd probably remain that way. |

Alex had known exactly where they were and his bluntness was kid of funny. So she said nothing. As He led her to the piano he asked her and obvious question and she chuckled lightly before answering. "I don't use sheet music. I play by ear. Plain and simple." she then let his arm drom from hers as she stepped away from him walking towards the piano. Alex smiled as she let her fingers run over the wood. She took in a deep breath. It was a grand piaon. The shape gave it away. She walked around raising the top, proping it up with a rod. The acoustics would come better that way. She then walked back around sitting on the stool, off to the side in the case he wanted to join her. Alexandria played a few simple notes. She listened carefully, gaining her finger placements as she thought of which piece to play. Then she hear the rain on the window. The soft patter made her smile then she heard the distant rolls of thunder and it brought a song to mind. She took a deep breath and began to play. Alex caught the beat quickly and soon her voice rang with the piano. The song came out soft as it melded with the tempo of the rain. Her voice chimed lightly as her pain seemed to disappear for a moment. For a few minutes she was a child, doing what she truly loved. And to her she could hear her own sister's voice mixing with hers in a flawless harmony. |

Mary Mary giggled at him comment. "No, I didn't know that, but it is a very interesting fact." She smiled, she had been hoping for a bit more of a conversation starter, but his awkwardness made him seem really adorable. "What's your family like?" Arabella Arabella flinched away slightly when he reached towards her, but she then let him move her arms to the right position. She stood as still as possible, listening to the rain hit the overhang. She watched him move around her, inhaling the sent of the sage and lavender. She dropped her arms when he finished and she looked out over the balcony, she heard the faint sound of someone playing a piano below. "Yes, I'm ready." She smiled "Can you hear that? It sounds like a piano, and someone singing. We must be right above the ballroom." She leaned over the railing just slightly, the cold rain leaving wet streaks on her face. "It's so beautiful." [[That song gave me chills Luna, it was really pretty]] |

Red at first, just watched, when she started to sing though. He just felt.... calmed. The beast of a man's chest fell, muscles losing their tension, and he sat down side her, his back to her, looking up, enjoying the music that seemed to flood over him. His eyes closed, and he sighed slightly, taking in a deep breath. Some part of him wanted to cry. He closed his eyes, absorbed, the beast turning to a man, a smile forming over his lips, kind, gentle. It wouldn't be able to last for long though, only while she played and singed, he prayed there be an encore. [[I agree. Made me tear up, actually.]] Edited by Lock Wolf, September 4, 2010, 6:23 pm.

((Thanks guys. I love that song....it kind of hold a dream of mine and a bit of a promise I made to myself. I listen too it almost everytime there is a rain storm around here.)) Alex smiled lightly letting herself melt with the words. All of her dreams danced before her. In this state even her dizziest daydreams felt within her grasp. Right now nothing else would matter. She let her worries slide away. As her first song ended she continued to play. She shifted into the next song. Scilently something inside Alex seemed to crack and that voice that had been telling her to confess finally began to break through. She sighed and began to talk. "You know. My sister wrote these songs. She knew I loved to play and so she wrote lyrics and composed music for me. This one was one of the first she ever taught me. It was origonally a duet. As I got older. I learned to play it on my own." she said calmly. |

"My family? Uh... well, my dad is a really great guy. He's the head of a pharmaceuticals company and made quite a bit of money out of it! He's very kind, though he is kinda quiet. Mother is beautiful, but she's not very smart. Dad said he would go to the ends of the earth to stay with her." Nick smiled shyly. He had a deep admiration of his father's commitment to anything and everything, and secretly liked to think that one day he might be as great. |

Red listened, both to her play, and talk. He noticed at the end that keys couldn't be played right, needed four hands. The remark about her sister made it clear why. He adjusted on the seat, so that he was right beside her, and draped his arm around her waist and upper back lightly, be carefully of her shoulders as he sighed a bit. What could he say to that, he wasn't good with these kind of things, "I'm sorry." The words were true, and he wished he could say more, but, honestly, anything else would be a lie. he never knew her. he sighed once more, he could hug her, if she wanted, that was about it. |

Alex winced once as his arm passed over one of the sores on her shoulder. She then relaxed again, ignoring the pain almost completely. She came to the end of that song as well. She used the last high notes to shift into a bit of a lighter melody. This one was a bit longer because she knew this had to be said. Alex took a deep breath then closed her eyes. "Thank you. But there is no reason to be sorry for a murder that you had nothing to do with. Though...There has been something bothering me." she said continuing the music. "You said....if I was willing to drop my lock...you'd be willing to stay. I only want to say.....that if you meant the lock my parents have over me..." 'Relax! she kept telling herself. "I've already said I'd do anything to be rid of it. So if you have a proposition I'm willling to listen." Alex held her breath. It was out there. Maybe a bit obscured but it should be at least obvious what she'd meant. Now for his reaction, though he seemed much kinder now. Much more level headed. |

Red gulped a bit. Not from her request, but, from the song, it was sad, and yet, so very strangely familiar, like he had heard it somewhere before. Was it one of her sisters too? He licked his lips, trying to chose words carefully, "Agree to be my wife. That is all. If we can find a way to get along, then we shall. If not, then we only pretent in front of our parents. We'll be wealthy, rich even. Live where ever we want, travel as we like, and often at that. I'll always listen to what you have to say, consider it, and respect you, whether we get along or not." Red paused a moment, licking his lips again, "If you hate me, and refuse me in bed, I'll take up to old way, and let you have any man as you wish. If you will have me though, I promise to be loyal. Ether way, we will need a child with in a year of marriage for our parents sake." he sighed, he didn't think he missed anything, and, if he had, she'd probably question it for him. |

Mary "Oh, that is quite interesting." She looked down at Cleo and rubbed the small cats head. "My birth father died a couple years ago, my mother was a bit flustered when it happened, but she remarried. RJ is just my step-brother, but in the past year, we have grown close. It honestly feels like he has been my brother all my life. His mother died during childbirth, he hasn't gotten over that though, he blames himself for it. You can't tell any one that, no one knows it but me, and well, now you. Anyways, his father is a major asshole, excuse my french. He is the one that forced my mother to marry us off." Mary looked back up at Nick, she felt as if she had said way to much, but Nick hadn't seemed to mind. |

Alex nodded softly. She knew that would come up. The problem was, she wasn't sure if her body could handle it. It had always been so fragile. Expecially her bones. Then again, apparently it was either healing faster, or getting stronger. From what she could tell from taking his arm he wasn't exactly small to begin with. A top that he felt like solid muscle. More or less he was likely to break her. Alex let these thoughts flutter through her mind. Her bit the inside of her cheek. After a moment she sighed and said, "It's probably a bit betterto look for a safe cocqubine now." she said honestly. If nothing else he'd probably end up a bit happier that way. Plus that would give her a bit more freedom. This was starting to sound more and more like a plan. More of a contract then a marrage, which was fine with her. |

Red nodded, "A single mistress? Hm, if that would make you feel the best, I'm sure it can be arranged. In house, or out?" It was a simple question, if she chose in house, things would work very easily, move far from the parents, and things would be swimming. Out of house would be a bit more challenging, but, he could always find a way around that, a good challenge was fun once in a while. The problem of her having a child was still left. Her parents may just accept any given child with red hair and pale skin as their own, but, his parents would want her to be see ably pregnant, and to give birth at their home. That, was the problem, "Hm... I don't asking this, but about a child? Even if you wish to abstain, you will need to have one. If you can stand me for one night, and the full term to birth, we'll have no problems." He sighed, it was a very odd conversation, it was marriage, it should hold more value than he was giving it. Didn't settle right in his stomach, but, what else was he supposed to do. He could call if off easily, but, he had already brought it up, taking it back would be ungrateful. |

Alex sighed again as her fingers began to work the last cresento. The seemed to move with a mind of their own because her own face made her gaze feel distant. She felt absent from her body. Disconnecting herself was the best way to get through this. Emotions would only complicate her thought process. "Honestly, when it comes to your whore or whores, I have no thoughts on how many or where they stay. Honestly that has to do with your preferances. I'm not going to try and control your life. Thats not how I am." Alex then her fingers slowed and stopped as she listened to his latest concern. She shook her head. "Sadly thats where we might hit a snag....." then she realized how he might take that and quickly back tracked. "It's not that I couldn't handle a night with you. That I could get over easy enough I think. That I can't be certain with that for lack of experience." she said chuckling once as she realized her own immaturity. "However, with my illness....I'm....I don't think I'd live through having a child." Alex knew how bluntly she sounded but there was no way around it. She'd had this fear all her life and before he agreed to this he had to know everything. "Honestly Flamma, I'm not sure you wouldn't break me to start with. The best thing that would work if you just tell them I'm barren. And kids you have with your...girls...we could say they're adopted. I'd happily let the mother's raise them if they wanted. To be open...I love children...." She shaked her head sighing. "Sorry, I'm getting off subject." |

"No, don't stop. Carry out your thoughts. I don't want anything between us if we are to do this. To be blunt, the manner were discussing it in churns my stomach. I was raised to see marriage as a holy thing, and feel this a dubatery of it." He sighed, grunting a bit, it felt goof finally getting that off his chest. But, he knew it be taken wrongly. He didn't want to necessary call it off, he could tell it would haunt him after he put the idea out there. But, he didn't want the talk to be like this. Normally, it should have been something he just shrugged off. But, to many years of Greek tradition had been pounded into his head. He cursed it, but, it was probably what kept him semi-human. |

Malaki Amanar Malaki listened more closely. "Yes. I can. It is quite beautiful, isn't it?" He smiled and listened for a second. "I will return in a moment." Malaki left and entered back into the room. He walked over to his bag and pulled out 5 virgin candles, one red, one blue, one white, one green, and one yellow. He also grabbed a bag of sea salt and a pack of matches. Malaki emerged from the room and started laying the candles in a circle. "Damn it. Hold on." He ran back in the room and soon came out holding a small bottle. "Purity water." He drew a faint pentacle with the water and started sprinkling the sea salt into it. "Please come stand with me in the center." He asked Arabella kindly. |

Alex nodded. "Honestly, thoughts were the line that even fir the mother's didn't want them...I'd keep them with me. If they did though I'd at least make sure they had everything they nedded. I've always had a soft spot for children...maybe because I never really had a chance to be one myself. And as for the feeling of this not being much of a marrage, I have the same thought. To be honest it feels more like an agreement, a contract even." She sighed deeply. Alex turned her face away from him, her hands now resting in her lap. "I kind of wish we'd met under differant circumstances. I think we could have at least been friends." she said softly. She pulled herself away from him gently. She stood up stepping out onto the dance floor, her eyes closed. Her mind danced with thoughts and images of what she'd always heard. Discriptions of a royal ball, the dancers on the floor. Something about those words set her in awe. How could people of any amount, espectially as many as a hundred or more, move together as one without even knowing any of the other's names? |

Arabella Arabella watched as he made two trips back inside and she hid a smile when he cursed, most men wouldn't have done such a thing in front of a lady he was supposed to marry. She moved forward slowly her pale skin reflecting the light coming from their bedroom. She stood very still, just barely in the circle made by the candles. She was still a little nervous around him, so she didn't get much closer. "What do I have to do" She looked around at the different candles and the purity water, that he was sprinkling salt into "What is that for?" she gestured towards the water with pure curiosity reflecting in her eyes. |

Red snorted a bit. Did she have to walk away like that, it an uncomfortable thing as was. He sighed, and sucked it up like a man should, then stood up, and walked over to behind her, "Then lets just call it off for now. Nether of us came here looking for this, or ready for this. And well, the evidence is clear as your shoulders and my boots...." He sighed a bit aggravated, remembering his boots again, put pushed the thought away, "I'll stay for now. Maybe your right, and we can start off on a better foot tomorrow. Then, we'll bring this up again in a week or two, if were at each others throats, we'll say fuck it. If we get along, well, hell, maybe it wont feel so messed up for ether of us." A sex joke ran threw the back of his mind, but, he'd leave that out for now. It could have broke the tension, but after the kid talk, maybe not. He saw a servant from the corner of his eye. Dinner? He could smell it faintly, maybe a minute till. |

Alex nodded. She began to head hurried footsteps from the other side of the main lobby, which was the dinning room. Or at least she'd been told. Then when she thought of food the thought of her flask come to mind. The blood....then he mentioned his boot. She sighed shaking her head. She was such an idiot. "You know, I have something that will clean out that blood. What are your boots made of?" she asked, knowingly. |

Malaki Amanar Malaki smiled at her curiousity. "The water is purity water. Helps purify the ritual and the grounds surrounding it. The salt is to help mark the pentacle, which is the symbol of my religion. The candles are the most important though, each one represents an element. Red for fire, Blue for water, Green for earth, white for wind, and finally yellow for spirit." He smiled at her. "All you have to do is think good thoughts, you don't have to repeat anything if you don't want to, I wouldn't want you to feel uncomfortable." "Now, I'd like to summon the elements. Are you okay with this? If you aren't you can go inside. I understand. It's alot to take in at the moment." Malaki smiled and slightly touched her arm before looking into her eyes. "I don't want you to be uncomfortable. I just thought if we are going to be....well together, you should be exposed to my religion." |

Red blinked, that again? "Um... leather. Their normally water prove, but blood seemed to stained them pretty well. Never reached my feet, so, I guess its just the tops that are stained." he shrugged, not the greatest end to the conversation they were having. It was kinda awkward, to be honest. But, if it made her feel better, he was good with it. "Um... err..." He was trying to think of a way to move this on, when a servant came to them, and asked if they come sit down at the table. He saw a few other servants starting off, rather slowly, must still had a few minutes till everything came together, "that'll work..." He said it under his breath, then stepped beside Alex and gave her his arm to hold onto to, "Well, you can show me later, after dinner. I'm starving. So, might as well chow down. You can even show off to everyone that I'm a good beastly." His voice had a hint of sarcasm to it. He'd never be 'good', but, he could be a gentlemen if he had to. Hell, he wondered if any of them ever remembered how Alex was. Seeing as none of them came to check on her, they all must have had sticks shoved way up there. |

Alex nodded. Leather would be easy enough to clean. Most of her own boots were the same way. Then she heard the servent and nodded to him i thanks. Then she reached up, gently taking Red's arm again. It was a bit awkward this time from the talk they'd just had. She wondered whaat the others would think of this site as they walked in. Her dress was still drenched and her hair fell around her in black curls from being wet. On top of that she was on the arm of the man who'd saved her from the death he'd almost caused himself. She was in her bare feet amongst all of this and chuckled lightly as he lead her towards the dining room. |
