A uncanny meeting (NYX)

[Risen]

The night air was crisp yet moist with a faint glow of the moon peeking in and out of the clouds to light the way of any wary yet foolish traveler that would dare enter the parks at night now. Filled with various demons and fiends, it was a nesting ground of sorts for all sort of bad crowds that were not wanted elsewhere. As of now though a foolish yet brave angel found himself wandering back into such said foul place only to find even more despair in the hopes to find his long lost brother.

Le'stat had himself once more tracing back to the park where it all began. Zains aura was all around here. It was floating about the city in various places as well. He was here..., But along side Zains aura was the most deepest and darkest aura he had /ever/ felt. Just the sensing of it made his stomach drop as he bent over and puked right there on the spot to his surprise. This feeling was utter..dread and terror. Le'stat had never felt such feelings before but he could clearly tell what they were. If he could tell this then Surely Zain could to. Part of him was curious to know what Zain would do? Would he be so pathetic as to puke from sensing a mere aura? Then again this aura was not merely anyones. He believed this aura was.....was perhaps Lucifer's. If Lucifer was indeed here..,then God help us all. He needed to save his brother fast.

God..help me. I need help, something to lead me onto the right path again!

[Nitalya]

Nyx had taken the morning off to meet up with a new client, though the meeting had fallen through when her client failed to show. It was nothing new for some clients to not make it to their court date as accidents happened in the city all the time. With spare time on her hands and being too antsy to sit in the office doing paperwork she had took off for the park. In one hand she held a cup of straight black coffee, while the other held a small pack in place on her shoulder. She wore a simple black short sleeve blouse along with snug black jeans as she did not currently care to stand out. The warm sun felt good against her skin but she never staying in its fullness long in effort to avoid getting her reddish tint in human form.

She did not look much like a lawyer nor like a bounty hunter as she continued into the heart of the park without reason. It was not often she let herself wonder into such a peaceful and calm place but it was not beyond her to see what type of chaos could be found in such places. She had started to think that things had not changed there from her last visit when she sensed despair in the air near her. There was more than one reason it catch her interest the main one being where one despaired there was always something to gain especially in her in of work. She stopped and looked about for the source of the dark energy and noticed the young male looking more than a little lost.

With a smirk she approached him and said 'you look a little lost. Did you loose someone or thing?'

[Risen]

In all his internal questioning and mental confusion, he did not even remotely sense the woman who had approached him from behind as he startled quickly out of his own little world. A look of shock still on his face as he remained silent for a moment to regain himself to his his soft green eyes upon this woman's. Her eyes held a red glow to them that seemed to suck you in, and that smile...as sweet as it appeared was also sending shivers up Le'stat's spine.Shame there was so much evil aura around that he could not sense the evil yet beautiful snake starring him straight in his face.


Uh...no.....Well perhaps. I am Le'stat By that the way. Who might you be?

It was odd how random meetings like this occur. Perhaps this demon angel encounter was meant to be, then again perhaps God was testing poor young Le'stat? All angels needed to be able to slay a demon, after all what use were they if they could not? But unfortunately for Le'stat, messing with this particular demon would surely give him a run for his money.

[Nitalya]

Nyx smiled softly when he turned to her in slight shock that she had indeed spoke to him in an attempt to smooth any fears he might have of her. It was when he regained his self and pushed aside his confusion did she feel the purity that resided with in him. It was said once that a light on a hill could be seem for miles and the same could be said about the pure in this city. There was so much darkness in the hearts and minds of those who resided there that even demons could blend in with no effort.

have they sent another young pup who's light waivers so to try and purge the evil here?...... they are like lambs to slaughter as they can not even see a demon when it stares them in the eyes.... She thought as Le'stat was drawn into her eyes before she turned slightly away and hid them from him. A minute seemed to pass before he spoke up seeming still confused about whether or not he lost something, though he was at least sure of his name as he provided it from her. Le'stat.. she repeated silently to herself while she searched the dusty shelves of her memory for any possible information on him. There was nothing to be found there though as he was far too green to considered a threat or he was like her and a rogue of his kind who stayed out of sight.

She loosed her bag and reached out to offer her hand before she spoke up. 'it is nice to meet you Le'stat, I am Nyx, attorney at law.' Her position as a lawyer did not always help her, though from time to time it made her appear to be the side of justice.

She paused for a moment then added 'So which is it? as it is hard to both have something and for it be lost at the same moment.. '

[Risen]

Already it had roughly been two weeks since Zain had come to earth and still had he never come across a more stunning woman. She completely threw him off guard with inner feelings that began to fluster and confuse him. He was not used to this at all. Everything about the human race confused and yet intrigued him in ways he did not grasp.

As he stared at her hand for a moment he then took it into his taking careful consideration not to use to much strength to break it. Little did he know...

With that he fashioned together a smile from his hard sculpted features as he then returned to that puzzled look once more to her response.

'it is nice to meet you Le'stat, I am Nyx, attorney at law'So which is it? as it is hard to both have something and for it be lost at the same moment.. '.'

A...what? Do forgive me I..., I am not from around here. As for that..yea, I doubt you would know him..., I am looking for my lost brother. His name Is Zain Anastasia. I hear he is quite popular, yet very hard to find. Perhaps you have heard of him?

Pausing once more he could not help to be drawled again once more to her eyes. Something about this woman was..off.., yet so alluring. Like a beautiful rose..with many sharp thorns. Shame Le'stat was so green and fooled by a kind smile that he could not even tell how dangerous she really was. I suppose some lessons are better learned the hard way though. Twas how his older brother survived.

With that he shook his head slowly and looked away.

Do forgive my rudeness. I do not mean to stare..truelly.

[Nitalya]

It was no real surprise in many ways that Le'stat did not know what a lawyer was as it showed just how green he was. It did not matter though if he did or not as he answered her question about what he had lost. She look back her hand and placed her index finger on her lower lip as she repeated his brothers name aloud while she thought.

'Zain... Anastasia... hm...'

She stood there for a moment as if in deep thought, though it was really not needed as she had heard the name before. He was once on her black list of angels that were ripe to for the picking and fall from their purity, though she had no claimed the reward for that one. No he fell on his own allowing the darkness in her heart to snuff out the light making him a full demon. She would not tell Le'stat about that.. for now at least as it would ruin any entertainment he might provide her currently.

While she appeared to be thinking Nyx could feel his emerald hues wash over her like ocean waves. They attempted to stay away, but were back to her over and over again. After a few moments she finally spoke up and answered his question.

'I have heard that name before, though it has been some time now. It is very likely he is still in the city somewhere.... '

She was cut a little short as he attempted again not stop staring at her and asked for forgiveness for staring so much. In truth nyx was a little surprised that he had not started drooling and could think as clearly as he was, since most men were like putty in her hands. It was one of the reasons she was so good at being a lawyer as who needed truth when a lie would work just as well.

'It is ok, for some reason most people seem drawn to me... It is why i make it my job to help them as it is normally hard for some to open up normally, but with me it always seems like talking to an old friend.'

She gave him another smile to seal the deal that she too was just trying to help the unfortunate in the world much like an angel would. There was much truth to her words also as she had not lied to him yet, no she would wait until he was too deep to get out to do that.

'so what do you say i help you try to find him? I know much of the city, not to mention you look like you could use more than a little bit of help'

[Risen]

'It is ok, for some reason most people seem drawn to me... It is why i make it my job to help them as it is normally hard for some to open up normally, but with me it always seems like talking to an old friend.'

He had to admit this seemed true. She had a rather unique charm about her that made him feel at ease..,at ease enough to relax his guard. It was odd for one was taught never to relax there guard, especially around humans. Humans who's very nature was unpredictable.



The moment she admitted that she knew of Zain had opened up a new ray of hope that made his eyes come alive in joy. His earlier weakening morale was not restored and he wanted to hug this mysterious woman. But all he could truly say was

Thank you Nyx. I had feared that there were no longer any good honest souls around here. But it seems Satan's taint has not touched thee.

Truly humorous no? She was probably touched and tainted more than most by him. Deep down though there was a small nagging within Le'stat that told him to be on guard. Unfortunately that little angel on his shoulder was screaming upon deaf ears for the mention of finding Zain blinded him to all and would have him sacrifice all just to meet him.suddenly though a realization hit him. In this world humans helped each other with payments of sorts. Nothing ever seemed to be done by mere good faith.

Hm...I find my self at a dilemma. You have offered your services..yet I have no way to pay you. Surely there is something I can do though to compensate you?

If this beautiful demoness agreed then he would be perhaps one step closer to Zain. But all in all did Zain really want to find out he had a little brother? How would he react? Would he be happy? All these were questions that swirled to the little angels mind as he fool heartedly yet bravely walked into the demoness web.

[Nitalya]

Nyx had to hold back a laugh as he spoke of her being a good soul and not tainted with evil since she was born from evil its self. he should count himself lucky that another did not find him first.... She thought to herself as he took interest in her offer to help without really thinking too deeply about it first. She was not fully sure what to do with the youngling now that she had him though she guess business as usual for the most part. She would eventually get him to his brother that was if his brother wanted to be found but sure he would not be the same little greenhorn when she did. It was he who spoke first of his payment for her services which was odd as payment was the first thing on her mind well besides entertainment that is.

She smiled warmly at him before she said 'for now lets not worry about it. Now how about some lunch and you can provide me with what you know of your brother as you look like you could use a good meal.'

She was honestly more interest in him than Zain as he had his own thing going in the city and she wanted to know what she had to work with. She doubted he had been provided with provisions such as human wealth to acquire food, bedding, and such. He was likely to pure still to take such things also which gave her a second door to use with him as she could easily provide such things in return for some entertainment. It had been a while since one dare to join her for fun and games as the last man did not survive, but of course an angel would have a much better chance of landing safely after jumping out a plane without a shoot.

[Risen]

Le'stat was once more thrown off by this woman and her kindness. Not only was she going to help him..but she was going to feed him as well. Truly the Heavens were shining good fortune upon him he thought. Though right now he had to admit he was pretty hungry. He had been currently seeking food and shelter with Malachi at his church.So truthfully he has yet to have a good meal. With that he raised his nose to the air and closed his eyes before smelling a unique but appealing aroma off in the distance as he opened his eyes and looked at her thoughtfully.

I believe my nose has pin pointed quite a delightful food establishment.

With that he turned and obviously led the way as he turned and headed down the side walk in a hurry, nearly running before arriving at a small Italian restaurant that had the smell of fresh cooked steak in the air and other tempting delights that filled the air in a mixing cocktail of orgasmic flavors in the air. But before going in one would surely have to notice that Le'stat was not exactly dressed for such a place,for he looked as though he was ready to go to battle with his heavy armor and hard sculpted features. Unlike the demmoness who clearly dressed to impress.

Hmm.., I like this place. Could we eat here?

[Nitalya]

It was also too easy for her to ensnare him as she had not even been trying. It was almost like he was a half staved and beaten pup readily taking any help he could get. She thought a shame that he did put up much of a fight be then again he was very green and it was not the end yet. Nyx had no issue letting Le'stat pick the place to eat as he seemed to make up his mind quickly as to what he would have liked to eat. She followed behind him in an even pace as he rushed off like a dog searching for a rabbit in his attempt to find the restaurant that caught his attention. He had cause her to smile more as she tossed her full cup of coffee in a waste bin then picked up her step.

He was a fast one she had to admit as she was a little winded when she caught up to him, though had she been in her true form she would have easily out ran him. Nyx spotted him outside one of her own favorite Italian restaurants which made her smirk at the thought the he too at least had some taste for good things. His question seemed to unsettle her some as he seemed so childlike in his question that it almost seemed wrong for him to ask her it.

She stood there for a second as she settled the small amount of doubt in her about her next actions convincing herself that it was better this way as always. Her eyes followed over his form once more this time paying more attention than before which caused her to frown. He was not dress right really for the classy place before then, nor was he really dressed for walking about the street in his holy armor. It was honestly not a surprised he had not gotten anywhere wearing such an outfit in public. Other must have thought him insane and shunned him if they were smart.

'We can, though i have to say that you really need a different set of clothing if you wish to get anywhere with finding your brother. The people here dont like outsiders especially ones running about in armor with swords strapped to their sides. For now if you are asked just say you are part of the summer production play, and after lunch we can deal with your clothing.'

She gave him another smile as if to smooth over the fact he would be out right lying if he did follow her suggestion even if it would be better. Taking the lead she pushed pasted the door and was greeted by a finely dressed waiter who at once smiled.

In a merry tone he said 'back again I see Miss Vallis, Ah and i see you brought company. So would you like your usual table then?'

'Yes and could you bring a bottle of my favorite wine?'

Nyx turned to Le'stat as if to tell him to follow before their waiter lead them off to a small side room with a view of the restaurants garden.

[Risen]

'We can, though i have to say that you really need a different set of clothing if you wish to get anywhere with finding your brother. The people here don't like outsiders especially ones running about in armor with swords strapped to their sides. For now if you are asked just say you are part of the summer production play, and after lunch we can deal with your clothing.'

Embarrassment showed upon him as he looked around and noticed the glamor and dressings of the people around them in this building. He was severely not dressed for such a place. Though the etiquette of the atmosphere reminded him much of the formality of Heavens atmosphere. It was formal, polite, very quiet except for the soft violin playing in the back ground. Many people were conversing quietly to each other with soft giggles and laughs as they enjoyed there food. Le'stat actually prided himself on choosing such a well established place. Though the shocking of it was that the workers here seemed to have known Miss Nyx. It would seem there was much more to this woman than meets the eyes.

Yes..., do forgive my attire I had to be ready for battle....

Suddenly he shut himself up quickly. It would seem his loose tongue nearly revealed himself. He had to remember that she was a human. Humans were not truly meant to know about the hidden war between angels and demons. To say such a thing to here would surely mark him as a mad man and thus loose his help from here.

Um..do forgive me. I did not mean battle, I meant..antique. Its very special to me and I wanted to wear it for abit. I do have some other clothes at the church though..., Kinda distasteful to me. To be honest..., I feel rather naked without my Armour on.

If this woman was as smart as she was beautiful then she had clearly known there was much more to the young angel than what meets the eye. One had to guess to..as to why such a greenling would not have a elder escort to help break him in? Questions and oddity's could feel the air easily with such talk though.

As he followed behind her he made sure to stay close before finding there seats as he walked over to the chair and pulled it out for her. He may have been young..but he at least had much mannerism in the presence of a lady.
After she sat and ordered her wine he did the same before looking at a menu. It was not long till he put it back down.

What would you recommend? I'm not used to the food....around these parts.

[Nitalya]

Nyx held back yet another laugh as Le'stat started to defend his current garb then without knowing it told his first lie to her though he was terrible at it. She would have to train him at telling lies at a later time but first she would have to get the truth from him. When he pulled her chair out she nodded in thanks and sat down then waited for him to join her. There was little point for her to look at the menu as she doubted anything changed in the last few weeks though she let him take a moment to look over the menu himself. It was not much of a surprise that he again seemed lost in what to do and leaned on her for options.

'they have a steak with garden salad is always a favorite of mine then again so is the pasta alimore '

She waited a moment to let him think of his meal as she waited for the wine to come which did not take long. The waiter returned with two glasses and a bottle of 1943 vintage red wine that they kept in stock just for her.

'Have you decided what you would like to order?' the waiter asked as soon as he finished setting down the glasses. He did not wait for them to answer before he filled their glasses and set the bottle down.

'Tell Antonio to surprise me today as i am in the mood for something new and i know he enjoys trying out his new dishes.'


The waiter then turned to Le'stat for his order and upon receiving it he left knowing that Nyx valued her privacy over anything else.

Once alone again Nyx turned back to Le'stat as she address his dressage. 'You dont have to keep pretending that you are just a human, I know there are more than just humans in this city. You dont have to tell me what you are just dont think i am ignorant is all i ask. My line of work has me helping out many non humans. You may not like to be without your armor but i think it would be best to get more accustom to our style of clothing. If your others are distasteful then we can get you other ones.'

[Risen]

'You don't have to keep pretending that you are just a human, I know there are more than just humans in this city. You don't have to tell me what you are just don't think i am ignorant is all i ask. My line of work has me helping out many non humans. You may not like to be without your armor but i think it would be best to get more accustom to our style of clothing. If your others are distasteful then we can get you other ones.'


As soon as the waiter left the conversation had suddenly taken a twist. She apparently now knew something was indeed different about him. Surprised now.., his how personality took a rather big twist as he locked eyes with her. This time his eyes were not kindred like before, they held a strong fighting spirit within.

I see...,Clearly the species down here on earth are more clever than they appear. You will haft to forgive me.., but trust is not a easy thing to merely throw out at the first beautiful woman to cross my path. After all I was warned by my elders that one wrong trust in someone could lead to a knife in the back. So you will haft to forgive me for my earlier act. Since you have figured out this much allow me to fill in the gaps. Le'stat Anastasia of the 13th Holy angel squad. In short I am a soldier from heaven. Not to be mistaken for a arch angel. I'm not as.....bad ass as you humans say. But I do have abit of fight in me none the less. Anyway..., I was sent here to retrieve Zain Anastasia..or to kill him on spot. He is indeed my brother though. And though I am a warrior angel, My power is a mere flicker of candlelight next to his. I have not even been around as long as he. So surely it is clear that the latter of the deal is clearly not possible. I can only hope that I find him and hopefully be able to talk some sense into him. After all, As you humans say. Blood is thicker than water no?

With that his soft gaze returned with smile. Sure the moment got serious but nothing had truly changed. He was strong and he was clearly headstrong in getting his job done. But unfortunately for the young angel he was lacking many things. Knowledge.., power..,Age. In this world he was way out of his league to be doing a mission of this caliber.

[Nitalya]

Nyx was slightly surprised by his sudden serious as it seemed he might have caught on to her finally though as she sat there listening to him it was aparent that he had not. He instead told her more than she thought she would get from him at one sitting. It was truly too easy as she did not have to ask him anything though by being so easy took the fun out of it also.It was almost funny that he started out telling her he could not trust others and yet he still told her about everything.

'I have not meet an angel that i know of before thought your elders were correct to warn you not to trust humans as many would put a knife in you if given the chance. That was partly why i suggested that you try to blend in some as it will make you less of a target for them. As for your brother i am sorry to hear your job is to capture or kill your brother, though you are right blood is thicker than water so hopefully he will listen to reason and you wont have to fight. I prefer to avoid any kind of fighting if possible'

She then picked up her glass and took a sip from it savoring the flavor as it rolled across her tongue. She finally swallowed then motioned for Le'stat to try his glass before she spoke up again.

'So what else have they taught you about us humans an earth? As i have always wondered about it.'

Her question was innocent enough to the trained soul though it was a very sinister question as he would given her all she needed to get past his defenses.

[Risen]

Le'stat took her advice as he grabbed the glass of wine and sipped it so. It was...,different, fruity yet dry. All in all it was not a glass he would truly prefer.

'So what else have they taught you about us humans an earth? As i have always wondered about it.'


Her question seemed to be very curious as she now seemed to want to know more about him. Though he felt giving away anymore information than what he had would not be of his benefit as he shook his head slowly.

Nothing really. Just to be careful and not be tricked into falling. Enough of me though..., I'm curious. How exactly can you help me here? I mean..., you just stepped into something that I am sue is above your pay scale. I'm talking Angels and Demons? Demons..., creatures so horrible and disgusting..., they thrive on anything dark and wrong. Sin is there lust..., But angels. We are the supreme beings. We who hearts are pure, judgments honest. We are what Humans who do well can sometimes become....,Like Zain. But his falling is not permanent. They told me so....,and they wouldn't..lie to me.

His last sentence held abit of sadness to it and a lack of belief in his words as he looked around unable to look her in the eyes as he said that.

Truthfully.., you should let me repay you anyway I can and then leave. This mission is to dangerous for a mere Human woman to be tied in with.

[Nitalya]

It was easy for Nyx to tell that he did not enjoy the wine as much as she did, though when all one had was heavenly wine anything earthly would be dull in comparison. She took another sip as she waited on his answer which took a bit of time since he became a little wise to her question. She looked a little disappointed when he shook his head declining to say more on that subject, though he did open a new subject.

aw.. it is sad that he was taught to think so lowly of demons.... brainwashed greenhorns.... oh heaven you think so highly of your creations... is that not why man and angel fell?... it is no wonder events repeat themselves so often just with new players.... Nyx thought to herself as Le'stat continued to bash demon kind and doubt her ability to help.


Her expression remained soft and filled with patience, while she waited for him to finish questioning her.

'You think too lowly of mere humans Le'stat. I have heard much of angels and demons and their everlasting war, but this is not about that war. It is about a young man looking for his older brother to take him home. You are right about me not being able to help in the war between your kinds, but i can help you find a lost brother.'

She paused as she took another sip of her drink letting him think about her words before she continued.

'You dont have to worry about my safety as i can take care of myself quite well. As for payment i will get it when i get to see you take your brother back home alive and in one piece. Is it not said that heaven rejoices more over a lost soul returning, than over the ones that never leave?'

Nyx was not past using the good books words for her own twisted desires.

[Risen]

He was at a loss at how to object or even to reply to what she had just said. It was fortunate though now that the waiter came back with two dishes of the food they ordered. The aroma that came from them instantly made Le'stats mouth water as he said a small grace prayer then looked back to Nyx and thanked her once more before digging into the steak. It was...heavenly for lack of words. He was rather surprised that it was so good. So much so that for the entire time he did nothing but dig into his food. A few minutes later he finally finished as he leaned back into the chair completely satisfied. His appetite for food was clearly a weakness anyone could use against him,

With that he looked up and gazed at Nyx waiting for her to finish. Where they were to go next was as much as a mystery to him than anything. Where would they possibly go at this time of night anyway? Right now it seemed she held the reigns on this horse ride.

[Nitalya]

It was not a surprise that the boy before did not know how to answer as either way he was stuck. it was deny what he was taught about lost souls, or accept her tainted offer to help him. He was saved though with great timing of the waiter returning causing her to smile as she had him once more in the palm of her hands. She followed his example as the food was placed before them, though she said no prayer as it was just for show.

She thanked the waiter before he left and turned her attention to Le'stat and her own plate of food. It was defiantly a surprise as she had not tried the dish before her and its scent made even her own mouth water, which did not happen often. She took her time to eat letting him have time to think about her offer more, though it was apparent that food was the only thing on his mind. Nyx was never a big eater despite the size of her true form, and was easily full after only eating half of her meal.

She refilled her glass and washed down the last bit she was to eat before she turned back to him. 'So are you full now or would you like more as i want to ensure you are not still hungry.'

Nyx looked down at her watch and frowned as it was going on midnight now and any decent clothing store would be closed by then. She had not been thinking when she spoke before about taking him out to get new clothing after their meal, but that could be easily taken care of in the morning. It was nothing for her to clear her schedule at last minute and not lose a client as her clients could not find a better lawyer. Picking up her bag which had been forgotten since they got there and pulled out her check book. She was never given a bill as she always paid what she thought the meal was worth which was more than the menu price. It was once of the many reasons she was so liked by the owners. While she scribbled in an amount she spoke up again about their next plan of action.

'Well it is too late to do something about your clothing, and i am sure they have locked the church doors already. So instead of you sleeping out on the street like a bum, there is a spare bedroom you can you at my condo. In the morning we can get an early start in getting you suitable set of clothing and searching for your brother. how does that sound?'

She did not expect him to agree with her about staying at her home as she was not going to take no for an answer.

[Risen]

He nodded towards her as he spoke quite happily.

No no..the food was more than enough to fill me up. And it was superb at that as well. As she paid she spoke kindly back to the young angel.

'Well it is too late to do something about your clothing, and i am sure they have locked the church doors already. So instead of you sleeping out on the street like a bum, there is a spare bedroom you can you at my condo. In the morning we can get an early start in getting you suitable set of clothing and searching for your brother. how does that sound?'

What choice was he really given? She had a point. The church doors would surely be closed at this time of night. And personally he felt sleeping on the streets was not really the wisest of ideas. Though he had to question one thing slightly. Why was she so nice to him? Surely he would understand a saint being this nice. But..,now that he was around her for some time he really did not since that much...good about her. It was more like a hollow shell with a very convincing smile. But her eyes were a different matter on there own. They held a glow that was hypnotizing almost.


I suppose I could not refuse such a kind hearted offer. But are you sure you can really trust me? I could always be lieing about who I am?

Part of him clearly knew she would not believe it for she looked like the type of woman who once her mind was made then that was it. It was made and there was clearly no undoing it. So with that he stood as they made there way outside where the crisp air scratched against his skin giving him goosebumps.

So then my new guardian angel. Where shall thy lead me to now? For I am at your command and shall follow.

There was abit of humor to his tone as he smiled at her happy like before finishing with a small bow and wave of his hand.

[Nitalya]

Nyx could see that Le'stat was thinking hard about her offer as if he was weight his options on a scale. His eyes seemed to question her as to again why she was helping him so much since she evidently owned him nothing. His response made her laugh as he asked her if she could trust him of all beings. She had not corrupted him that much in a single night.

'You have a point but i am good at judging people not to mention i always keep a 9mm with silver bullets under my pillow'

She winked at him as she joked about having the gun under her pillow, as it was really in her nightstand. It would not make much of a difference though where it was as she could surely take care of almost anything that dared to try and harm her.

Following his lead she stood and left the check on the table for their meal before she fell into step behind him. Once outside she took in a deep breath of the cool nights air while she scanned the street for cars since the walked there. She turned to him as he spoke up joking on her making her frown slightly.

'oh you have it very wrong, i am no guardian angel, just someone in a position to help others in need. Since it is so late there are no cabs, so we are to walk to my condo. it is only a few blocks away.'

She pointed in the direction of her condo before she took the lead and started walking in its direction. The streets where empty expect the occasional car passing by them as the walked. 'So other than your armor what type of clothing do you like? as there are many different ones here on earth.'

[Risen]

You have a point but i am good at judging people not to mention i always keep a 9mm with silver bullets under my pillow'

This actually surprised him abit.

So how does it exactly help you now? I mean I am here right now.., but not even guardian angels can be everywhere at once. Truthfully guardian angels are not even allowed to interfere.



'oh you have it very wrong, i am no guardian angel, just someone in a position to help others in need. Since it is so late there are no cabs, so we are to walk to my condo. it is only a few blocks away.'

What was abit of walking to him? Although her denial of his compliment was rather odd. Unless she just did not like to take compliments very well. He figured that was not bad. It means she was modest and level headed at least.

O? well I suppose you are doing more than what a guardian angel can. And after such a large meal I could use a little walk.

'So other than your armor what type of clothing do you like? as there are many different ones here on earth.'

As they walked he had some time to think about it as he remembered a few men in the restaurant dressed up in attires they called suits. It made them look very important and respected he thought.

Remember in the restaurant, there were several men in there who wore this black coat like clothing. They looked very impressive and well suited for them, as if the clothes hem self's made them seem very important. I think I like those...,I believe they call them suits?

[Nitalya]

Le'stat had a knack for making Nyx smile as he commented about her joke and then continued on about getting a suit. His answers were still very childlike as he tried to describe what he wanted and why. It was nice that he had decent taste though she did not think a suit would fit him very well to be going everywhere they would have to venture to 'find' his lost brother. So a few outfits would likely be needed, meaning the whole next day would be used for shopping and getting him acquainted with earthly things. Nyx lead them across one intersection before continuing down the sidewalk towards much nicer and large buildings.

'A suit is a nice choice, though may i also suggest a much cooler and causal out fit also. The heat during the day can be brutal at times here as i am sure you are learning quickly. '

She was not sure how the angels were brought up, but if it was like anything else they were pampered and could not deal with the heat. It of course did not bother her any as hell was over a hundred times hotter than the worst day in the hottest place on earth, but she was not going to tell him that. After a few more minutes she stopped before one of the grander building and took out a key card then proceeded to open the door. Had it not been so late Joe the door man would have been there to greet them, but of course even he has to sleep at some point.

The entry hall had black marble flooring while the walls were cream in color. Before the elevators was a large reception desk that contain the night guard who tipped his hat at them as they passed to the elevators, though other wise stayed quiet.

once in the elevators she spoke up again as she also pressed the corresponding number on the wall and waited for the doors to close. 'we are on the top floor'

It took a moment but finally the doors open again exposing a hall much like the last though it only contained one door. With the same card as before she unlocked her apartment and walked inside. The lights came on instantly shower the large living room with soft light. Its furnishing were modern in style and moderate compared to what one would expect. There was a decent sized flat screen tv that faced a large overstuffed black leather couch and loveseat. A glass coffee table with zen garden in the center along with a few other odds and ends to make the room seem funtional. Nyx had not really cared to decorate this residence as it was just her home when she was in town working.

[Risen]

Well one thing was for certain, He had a knack for keeping her smiling. Clearly he amused her enough not to make her sad. Which considering his last encounters with humans...,is a very good thing. He had to admit though that she had a point. It was night and it still felt abit humid, specially with his Armour on.

Very well. As it seems you are the more knowledgeable one here.., I will gladly place my faith in your clothing choice for me.


With that they headed to her condo..,which may have been a fortress with all the locks and key cards and security. It had him wondering once more. Who was this woman? Were all woman like her protected by so many devices? The awe played at his eyes as he passed threw the doors upon finally entering her home before freezing at the door. He seemed abit nervous and reluctant to ask.

.....Do forgive me..but my last human encounter went really well...,bad. You are not going to put on less clothes and perform a act and have a big scary aggressive man come barging in threw the door are you?

His wording made it sound funny..., but truth be told it was true. Last time he encountered a woman who suddenly appeared in lingerie as a man kicked down the door and yelled at him then picked up the woman and carried her off. It was quite odd...and very shocking for he knew not what he did wrong.

Now he slightly held a worried look in his eyes. One for that thought, two for the hope that he didn't insult her.

[Nitalya]

Nyx contined to smile as Le'stat started to walk threw the door thought it fell away when he turn back to her with a worried expression on his face. He had been for the most part easy going so to see such a worried expression made her wonder just what had cuased such a reaction and was told soon enough. She could not help but laugh at his question though after a second stopped and got a better hold of herself. She had been asked many questions threw the years but that was a new one.

'sorry.... i just was not expecting you to ask such a thing....though i am not surprised if that happen to you in this town but also sad that you went through it... no worries i wont do that to you and if it make you feel better there is a lock on the door for the spar room. '

She walked past him and waited for him to fullly enter so she could close the door behind him. It was not often if ever really that she brought someone home but then again not many could last a night with her to get home. She had not lied to him about a guy busting through the door to take her away nor about her stripping down to very little as contrary to popular belief she enjoyed wearing a silk pants pajama set to bed. That and she would wait for just the right time to tempt him in such a way as it would be funner if he choose to fall by his own will.

Once inside she walked past the living room and down a half hidden hall that lite up in the same soft light as the living room to expose four large doorways two leading to the bedrooms one to a large bathroom and the last to her study. The kitchen was on the other side of the livingroom half hidden though in the morning it would be flooded by golden light through the large windows that formed the wall.

[Risen]

Le'stat frowned abit as she began to laugh at him. He could not understand why for that was truly a stressing even for him!

sorry.... i just was not expecting you to ask such a thing....though i am not surprised if that happen to you in this town but also sad that you went through it... no worries i wont do that to you and if it make you feel better there is a lock on the door for the spar room.

He looked at her alil funny once more before walking in completely before following her as she led a mini tour of the house to get him slightly acquainted with the workings of where everything was as he returned back to the living room before taking off his large breast plate armour. Beneath he has nothing but his bare skin that revealed quite the healthy toned body that immediately filled with goosebumps as the cool air hit his skin.

Um..where may I store this?


He hated to be without his Armour, he felt very naked without it and even more so alien inside her house. Yet oddly enough at the same time he felt as if relaxing was the proper choice. That maybe so he could trust this woman more....., Maybe.

[Nitalya]

Nyx yawned as they stepped back into the living room at the conclusion of the tour since it had been a long day for the most part boring day. She then stretched with her back towards him not realizing he was stripping in her living room until he spoke up asking about where to place his armor. She had to bite her tongue to keep from licking her lips at such a fine example of tanned flesh before her. It was her turn to stare as her eyes washed over his well defined golden chest though stopped at the top of his leather pants.

She had been so good to keep up her mask of decent soul, though the sight of him being shirtless was almost too tempting. There was a reason why people said things from heaven were prefect and Le'stat's body was one of them. She quickly turned away from him attempting to look flustered though it was truthfully to keep from taking him there and then wither he wanted a say in it or not, as it had been a while since she had anything and even longer since she had an angel or fallen alike.

hold yourself... it will be sweeter if we let him ripen and then take him..... she reasoned with herself before she finally spoke up half shuddering over her words as she did.

'it.... is... best to keep... your clothing on... UNTIL you are in your room.... it is not right to expose yourself.... you can... leave it in... the spare..room... there ... should be a change of clothing in.. there also... as... for us both... it is best if we.. Stay clothed....'

oh god i need a cold shower..... though i doubt that will help.... where is a man whore when you need them..... she thought as she left him in the living room only due to her iron hold over her body as each step away from him seemed like a hundred as it screamed to be set loose.

[Risen]

Her reaction was quite surprising for he had seen many men walk around the city shirtless and not get this kind of reaction before. Perhaps his body disgusted her? Such though of being disgusting made him frown as he turned from her and grabbed his Armour in one hand as she spoke in a very...flustered way it seemed.


'it.... is... best to keep... your clothing on... UNTIL you are in your room.... it is not right to expose yourself.... you can... leave it in... the spare..room... there ... should be a change of clothing in.. there also... as... for us both... it is best if we.. Stay clothed....'

He turned and watched as she left slowly. The way she was moving was oddly as well as she no longer held that grace when she walked which made him even more curious.

Are...you ok? Perhaps I will go to my room now and change. I'm sorry if I upset you, I will truly find a way to make it up to you.

With that he walked Hasty past her to wards his room and closed the door as he looked around the room to get a more comfortable feel for it before setting his Armour down on the bed. As she said there were clothes in the room, but from the looks of it he desired a shower first. Even angels take baths in heaven, though there baths were huge and grand. He was curious o how these ones looked.

Opening the door a crack he looked out slowly.

Miss..Nyx.Would it be ok if I showered? If your upset still then do not worry.

[Nitalya]

Nyx did not care what Le'stat though of her retreat from his sight as it was to his benefit that she did leave. When he asked if she was ok, she again had to bit her tongue as to not give her desires away for his flesh just yet. She instead remained silent, though her heart pounded in her chest and only quicken as he moved pasted her and down the hall. She forced her arms to her sides as her body attempted to take over and reach out to grab him so it could have its way.

Curses filled her mind and attempted to overflow to her mouth and might have if he had not slipped into the spare room loosing her from the worse of her temptations. His scent still lingered in the hall making her mouth water as she loosed her tongue finally to lick her lips since he was out of since. so pure.... and tempting.... gr... why is the shower so far away...

she had almost made it to her room when his head popped out of the other door half scaring her out of her whits as she was concentration hard on making it to her room, then shower, and with luck a midnight visit to an old friend. She did not think before she spoke up to him this time as her only thought was on the two feet between herself and her door.

'what the hell.... why are you scaring me like that?..... no be my quest to use the shower.... and anything else you need.... just leave me be til morning and we will talk about things...'

with that she disappeared into her room and locked the door to keep herself from going back out there as his scent had filled her nose in that short time and it was almost pure agony now to deny her desires. She sank to the floor as her muscles tensed causing pain to shoot through them, but it was only a small price for the reward that was to come.

[Risen]

Her reaction was even more shocking and convinced him that he had indeed pissed her off as he decided to close the door and shower in the morning when she had cooled off. For now he walked over to the side of the bed and prayed thanks for all that the lord had given him this day. Unfortunately the lord had nothing to do with Le'stats luck.., for could one truly call this luck? Even though to him he was counting his blessings and saying his thanks.., it was clear that he was in for quite a ride.

With that Le'stat stripped down and layed into the soft clean cool sheets that bathed his skin with tender comfort. He enjoyed this feeling very much as before he knew it his eyes were firmly shut and his mind off in dreamland with only the silence of the room being his only guest within there.

[Nitalya]

It was a while before Nyx was able to stand as the last of his scent faded loosing her from its hold and allowing her to make her way to the shower. She stripped carelessly as she threw cloths in every direction before stumbling into the large shower and finally turned on the cold water. It stang her skin like thousands of little needles making her forget about the agony her cramping muscles caused. Her bit her lip to hold back a scream as she did not want to alert him that something was wrong.

She passed out for some time there letting the cold water wash over her before she woke as a shivering mess. Not even her natural body heat was able to shake the chill from her bones as she rose and weakly wrapped a towel about herself before she passed out on her bed until morning had come.

She had not bothered to set and alarm the night before and even forgot about Le'stat in the other room when her eyes first opened. Her body was still chilled from her fridged shower the night before forcing her to choose to stay in her warm be a while longer.
