A uncanny meeting (NYX)

[Risen]

Morning seemed to arise rather quickly as he opened his soft green eyes and welcomed the new day that had come in so warmly. With that Le stat stood and stretched gently as he walked over to the closest and grabbed a fresh set of clothes before opening the door slightly. It seemed it was still rather early and Miss Nyx had yet to awaken. Twas a perfect time to take a shower he thought as he opened the door wide and traced down to the bathroom before closing the door behind him as he began to run the water before a nice steady stream of luke warm came out.

Now this he was looking forward to as he had already come to notice that on earth, not all things are as they appear. So with a flick of the nozzle the shower turned on and he stepped in as the water immediately kissed at his body and ran down like fleeting tears that desired to stay upon him longer. With soft touches here and there he began to lather and clean his body so before placing both hands firmly against the wall and closing his eyes just to merely soak. It may have not been heaven....,but it was sure close to such.

With that he soon began to wonder how miss Nyx was feeling. After last night would she still be willing to help him? Perhaps she had hopefully forgiven and forgot by now he wondered.

After a good while he turned the water off and stepped out to dry off before placing on a pair of boxers,blue jeans and a white shirt that oddly fitted him well, though the shirt was a tad bit tight on him. over all though he was very satisfied with the attire as he opened the door and stepped out to await Nyx.

[Nitalya]

It did not take long for Nyx to remember about the night before and about her guest when she heard the door to the spare room open and the shower to be turned on. She let out a groan of annoyance as she knew it was time to get up and leave her warm haven. She hated being cold as it made her body stiff and slow not to mention it was uncomfortable as her skin became clammy. Her normally lush locks of hair looked like it have been in a storm as she had not washed or even brushed it before sleeping on it wet.

She threw the towel from the night before in her hamper before she headed off to take another shower, this time it would be as hot as she could get it. Her body relaxed under the warm stream of water which allowed her to stretch the stiff muscles out. She got lost in the heat of the water and refused to leave until finally the last drop of hot water had been used. They were in no hurry that morning so she took her time taming the mess she called her hair before picking out a simple outfit for the day.

It was about 10:00 am when she finally stepped out of her room in a simple sage blouse, and snug black jeans.

[Risen]

Nyx clearly had a knack for good timing for as he stepped out, so did she. And to his hope she looked much happier and smelled well....Heavenly.So with a genuine smile Lestat walked over to wards her.
Good morning. Today will be full of wonder, I can feel it. Something exciting and fortunate is bound to happen today. Perhaps I learn of my brothers whereabouts. Once I do you will then have no need to be so nice and accompany anymore. Though I must still first repay you before I can go onto my task, As a soldier of Heaven I am Honor bound after all. But I am at a loss though. What can someone who already has so much...,could possibly want? I do not have much at all to offer. Could Ii at least get a small hint so that I may prepare to give what it is you desire to you?

Le'stats eyes searched her all over for a small tale tale sign of what she could possibly want from the angel. But alas nothing told as he decided to proceed to the living room.

Well..at the very most how may I be of service today?

[Nitalya]

Nyx had just shut her door and was about to turn around and head down the hall when she bumped into Le'stat who also just left his room. She could not help but to blink as she looked over him in slight amazement of how well the clothing fit him making him seem like a normal human. He was the first to speak as her mind was still not fully awake making it foolish for her to speak at that moment. She instead stood there and listened to him words about what the day held then who he could repay her again.

His constant want to repay her was getting a little annoying as she had not really done much for him yet. She remain quiet refusing to answer his question for at least the third time since they had met and instead gave an innocent like smile. With that he gave up on getting her to say anything and lead the way to the living room. Nyx followed after though instead of stopping in the living room she continued on to the kitchen to brew some coffee and start breakfast as she may be wealthy but she still liked to cook herself.

She stopped just as she entered and turned back to him as he asked how he could help and spoke up for the first time that day. 'Do you know anything about cooking? As i could use a hand making breakfast as we have a long day before us and a decent meal will be good.'

She turned back to the kitchen as she did not wait for his answer figuring that he would if nothing else follow her to the kitchen to watch and learn. Though he would likely be too good to just watch her and it would not take long for him to join in starting his true training about human life and the joys of it. Once in the kitchen she started pulling out a few pans and bowls as she intended to make french toast, eggs and sausage.

[Risen]

Le'stat agreed to follow as he stood beside her. To his surprise he had actually cooked this before with the nuns in the church after his curiosity led him to the kitchen to swipe brother chi's fresh breakfast. He wondered if this would surprise her that he was not as useless as he seemed? With a determined look he turned and grabbed her before putting her over his shoulder as he turned and carried her back to the living room as he sat her down as gently as can be.

No, you stay here.. This I can actually do.

With a confident smirk he headed back to the kitchen and began to prepare everything, first he turned the heat up onto the pan before putting abit of butter into it. Next he cracked a few eggs into a bowl before mixing some brown sugar into it. Once mixed together he placed some bread into it to soak up the egg while he then turned to focus on the sausage. Cutting it piece by piece and throwing it into the pan to fry it up. Already a tasty aroma was emerging. With a peek up he looked at Nyx who clearly had to be wondering if he was going to catch her house on fire.


How do you like your eggs miss Nyx?

Once told he actually finished up rather fast before setting it all onto a plate as he walked around the corner heading her way. With his blue jean look and handsome smile, all he needed was a rose in his mouth to be pretty much any woman's morning fantasy. With a slight bow he handed the plate to her as he awaited her taste and approval.

I do hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it for you.

[Nitalya]

Nyx was just about to start pulling out the ingredients when she heard Le'stat behind her, though she paid him no mind until she felt his hands about her waist. Her first instinct was to reach around and break his arms before throwing him to the ground like she had so many others who thought to over power her and learned a hard lesson instead. Her body went ridge as she forced herself to think about what she was doing as she had worked hard so far not to show her true self to him.

After a second she relaxed some curious at what he was planning especially as he threw her gentle over his shoulder without effort. His scent and warmth about her made her mouth start to water, though thankfully before she started to drool down his back he laid her down on the couch with much care. She looked up at him pouting as he told her to stay there like she was the child this time, which was not something she was accustom to. In fact there had only been one being that told her what to do and kept his body fully intact and that Lucifer himself.

Nyx was in a playful mood though as she wanted to see just what this little angel had in mind for her as he had so far been able to entertain her. She sat back and relaxed to the point she started to drift off to sleep once more until she heard him speak to her. Half asleep she mumbled to him 'scrambled' before drifting off to sleep again.

She was only aroused from her slumber by Le'stats steps only feet from her as he brought her plate to her. Her sense were flooded by the delicious food and even more tasty side of angel. She had to think twice which she wanted to sample first, but then again he still was not right for the taking. She frowned a little at the thought that she was the one being tempted so, and to make it worse he did not even know he was doing it. She took the plate when he handed it to her and gave him a warm smile in return. Not wanting to make him wait for her answer she readily took her first bit and was pleasantly surprised as her taste buds can to like at the other worldly taste that flooded them.

'HMMM...' was all she could get out past her lips as she savored the first bit not full willing to swallow it just yet. After a moment she was able to come back to her sense and give him a more suited answer. 'Do all angels know how to cook this good? as i swear this tastes heavenly...' She knew the answer to the question before he even spoke as none of the others she tainted had ever cooked so good, as other wise she would have kept them around.

She patted the couch next to her for him to sit down and cut off another bite then held it out for him to eat. Her expression again told him she was not going to take no for an answer and why should she as a chef should always try their own creation. She waited to see his reaction before she took a second bit savoring it the same ways she did the first. now this is a meal fit for goddess.... oh how i miss those days.... She thought before she swallowed again.

Nyx continued with the pattern she started which was taking a bit and then feeding Le'stat a bit as there was plenty of food on the plate for the both of them. She found it fun to watch his own expressions of delight with the perfect flavoring of the eggs, toast and sausage. About half way through the plate Nyx felt over fully and then just feed Le'stat until the plate was finally empty. The urge to fall back to sleep was almost over powering but she knew they needed to get their day started.

She set the empty plate on the coffee table and leaned back once more so she could look into his eyes when she spoke. 'so are you still up to walking after such a fine meal? If not i can call a cab so we can get going.'

[Risen]

Her first reaction to tasting his food was all he needed as a smile formed upon his lips that soon turned into a smirk. He felt pretty damn proud to have her so happy over his food. Before he knew it though she was encouraging him to sit by her and feed him. Something he was clearly not used to but did so willingly, for the look in those dark cherry eyes was a force he could not desire to say no to.

After awhile she was full and thus was he as she sank back into the couch and lazily turned her eyes back to him and with a satisfied manner spoke to him.

so are you still up to walking after such a fine meal? If not i can call a cab so we can get going.'

Yet again that suttle smirk arose as he winked.

We shall do neither of course..,

With that he took the plate and returned it to the kitchen to leave her hanging on his words and contemplate what exactly he could have meant by that as he returned and sat back down and faced her.


I am going to show you something that is so amazing...,that I promise you I will blow your mind like never before.

His voice was low yet smooth as he barely held his excitement.


If you are ready for such a thing then close your eyes...

[Nitalya]

Nyx was still leaning back against the couch lazily as she waited for his answer. She was shifting through the stores they could go to and filtering out the ones they would go to. He answer took her by complete surprise as he seemed to be in a bit of a rush to find his brother that morning. She stared at him as she lifted on brow in question since she really did not know what he was thinking. Her curiousity only grew as he left her hanging when he took the plate back to the kitchen as if he again was tempting her.

She had to half wonder if she was the one being trick with the way he so easily tempted her at every turn. While he was out of the room she had crossed her arms about her chest and sank farthing into the couch. Her expression only became more questionable when he spoke of showing her something amazing as the list of things she had seen over her extended life time ran through her mind. She half doubted that he could show her anything she had not seen, but for the sake of their little game she would play along.

She closed her eyes before she uttered 'ready' to him and waited to see just what could excite him so much. She had not bothered to think defensively as she did not fear him in anyway, though being holy maybe she should have....

[Risen]

As soon as she closed her eyes he knew it was the sign to go ahead. With that he took hold of her hand and in a instant everything went black and fuzzy. The air felt light...and gravity seemed to be no more. It was almost as if they were floating threw a tunnel. Before they knew it they were on the beach. Though not the beach of Greece. They were on a island with beautiful true crystal blue water and a soft yet cool breeze blowing across the waves. Though as beautiful as it was...,There seemed to be a frown on Le'stats face.

..I clearly messed up. Darn. Well..you may open your eyes now. Sorry that it was not the store I wanted to take you to. For some reason at the last Second I pictured this in my head.

Off in the distance you could see a few dolphins begin to jump in and out of the water as if to greet the two. With that He turned towards he and sat beside her.

Hmm..., We are...stuck for about a hour actually. My shimmering ability is quick..but it takes alot of energy from me.

He was pretty curious to her entire reaction. After all how many people would like being transported to there very own isolated island? With a sigh he fell back onto the sand and closed his eyes.

At least the day is truly breath takeing.

[Nitalya]

For the breifest moment Nyx wondered if it was truly a wise idea to trust Le'stat as the room about them dissolved into light, though when she felt the hot sun on her skin and heard the waves crashing she knew she was wrong to question him. She did not wait for him to say it was alright before her eyes opened and looked about in amazement. He was right she had not seen that place before, though it was evident that he had not fully intended them to end up there. She took in a deep lungful of the clean ocean air before leaning back in the sand where she sat.

'Well i think this is much better than any store.... It has been a while since i have been out of the city and none of the places i have gone are as nice or peaceful as this beach.'

She lifted her head at the sound of the dolphins and watched them for a moment before her attention was brought back to Le'stat as he sat close to her. shimmering? so that is what you call it.. though many other have called it different... no matter its name the ability to teleport is still useful. She thought to herself before she rolled over to face him curious of what he was to do next, though he too seem curious of what was going to happen.

She gave him a warm smile and scooted closer to him letting her arm brush against his ever so slightly as she came to rest inches from where he laid. ' an hours seems too short to me... too bad we did not think to bring a lunch.'

[Risen]

Le'stat could not truly understand what it was about the sea that people found so beautiful. No.., What got him was its vastness. It was simply huge. So huge that you can look and look, and never see its end.

Before he knew it though, Nyx had scooted much closer to him, to the point that she was now touching him. It was odd to say the least and slightly made him nervous as he decided to stand as she spoke about wanting to be there longer and how she should have packed a lunch. It was a thought to say the least. Perhaps he would bring her here again, though next time on purpose.

With that he turned and began to walk up the mound of sand until he was now on the grass with a few trees here and there. The island was really tiny, so tiny that in less than five minutes you could walk to the other side. It to some would be called a little piece of paradise.

Once finding a tree he decided to sit beneath it in the shade as he brung his knees up and lazily hung his arms over them as he began to think. Was this right? Should he be enjoying himself and neglecting his mission so? Perhaps his inner self desired this so and thus this is why he appeared here. Could he really not even want to look for his brother? These mixed thoughts were really beginning to hurt his head as he hung it down low and rubbed it gently.

[Nitalya]

Nyx was about to lay back down and wait for sleep to take her. She was still tired from the night before and with a full stomach sleep would have come swiftly had Le'stat not stood up. She looked afted him wondering if she had been the one to upset him this time though when he just walked away she had her answer. She was not sure how she upset the little angel unless he figured out what she was though if he had she would have expected him to attack instead of walking away no she was not the cause but something was.

She waited a minute then got up and followed after him slowly as to give him some space which really was not much with how small the island was. For the first time really since meeting him a frown crossed her face as she watched him sit by the tree and put his head in his hands. Something was indeed wrong and if she was to keep her prize she neededd to find out what it was. Her footsteps were silent as she walked up to him and kneeled before him. Her hand reached out softly like a mother reachimg out to an injured child and lightly placed it under his chin to rise his face.

In a soft sweet tone she spoke 'what is it that burdens your mind so that you can no enjoy such a wonderous sight your lord has made?'

She did honestly care what was on his mind and hoped he would loose his tongue and tell her. She would be willing to pay much to keep her little angel happy and there to entertain her as she taught him about earth.

[Risen]

To his surprise Nyx was before him and had taken his head in her hands. Hands that were welcoming and soft as they rose his head slowly to meet her eyes. Those eyes..., How ....inhuman they were with there glow that sent a chill don his spine. Not a bad chill no, a chill of excitement.., There was still something about this woman that had him not being able to keep much from her.So with abit of despair to his voice and a hint of frustration, he finally gave in and spoke.

It would seem I am at a fork in the road. The longer I stay here the more I begin to realize...things. Thins such as why angels are tempted. And how they fall. Yet it bothers me so. Is enjoying such desires truly so bad?....

There was a pause as he shook his head as if to silently shout at himself for such thinking's.

God forgive me, My mind was weak. I fear I must find my brother soon and return to the safe Haven of Heaven. Earth is no place for angels Nyx. Such things I fear are to tempting. Even it be you human woman. There is something odd about you that drawls me so. I find it odd for I have never been drawn to another person. I do not even know what this is. I have only felt happiness around one being. That being my lord. Yet around you and all these Earthly things I seem to be finding a close happyiness.

Suddenly a fear and thought dawned upon him.

Dear lord..., Could this be what my brother went threw as well? Yet.., I wonder if he to had someone to help him such as you are helping me? Or was he tainted and twisted by fowl demons and such..?

[Nitalya]

when his head was level with hers she let his chin go and wraped it about her form holding it there. She looked at him confused as he spoke of being tempted and becoming a fallen like his brother. and even continued on to question if it was wrong for him to desire anything earthly. He seemed to finally realize why others had fallen deciding to partake in the joys and sorrows of earth. She would need to put his worries aside if she was to keep him which would not be easy as he would likely question her actions and those of others. The one thing in her favor was he seemed to still think she was pure in her decision to help him.

'i do not know what befell your brother when he arrived here and why his faith faulted but god has entrusted you with this mission and thus equipted you with the faith to endure the tests before you. I will guide you where i can to keep you from the those who would make you fall. Once we get back we can start the search for your brother so that you may return....'

her tone held some sadness as she would be disappointed for hm to leave especially before he got to experiance many of the wonders of the earth. Nyx hoped he would listen to hernd take comfort in them as she had yet to give him reason otherwise. She tthen reached out and lightly brushed his cheek before she added 'Just so you know it is natural for a man to be drain to a woman... i would not doubt that angels are that much different.... dont worry though i do nnot wish to see you fall...'

[Risen]

He had to admit. He was learning much from this woman. Were many woman like her on earth he wondered? She seemed to be very wise..yet very young. Such things needed no thought right now though as he placed a smile upon his lips and nodded.

Yes. I suppose I need not worry. Its just I would rather fight with my blade. These human temptations are really something I must say. Be it not for your sincere kindness Id believe you havith the skill to tempt me right out of heaven haha.

Though only being silly humor..,One who truly knew what she was would most likely say that such a thing could truly happen if she so willed it.

Her last sentence caught him by surprise though.

Yes.., we do have love in heaven. But a warrior angel is not permitted to love. We have no need to succumb to a woman's charm for it is told it only weakens us so. Relationships are only for the higher angels and spirits. So alas such charms will never be mine. But do not fret. It is not so bad. After all how you you desire what you've never had?

[Nitalya]

Nyx was glad to see Le'stat smile again after listening to her words of encouragment . It seemed she sidestepped that situation though she could not count her winning just yet as there was still much before them.

'A sword is a simple weapon though that anyone may be taught though to be a real master of battle one needs to open their mind to learn the tactics of your foes.... though you are right the temptations in this world can be overloading but i am sure you wont have a problem.... and i would hate to tempt you out of heaven it is your home and there are already too many homeless already on the earth.'

she paused though as she listened to his explaination of love in heaven which caused her to frown. It was no wonder their warriors fell when reaching earth and here she thought that they were taught love made one stronger. How emypt they must be if they only fought and follow their lord.

'I would hope that a warroir could climb through the ranks to eventually be given the chance to feel love of another other than their lord as did he not say it was wrong for man to be alone? so how can he hold his warriors differently?h

[Risen]

He merely shook his head at her statement.

You see.., that is where humans knowledge become flawed. Why do you think it is that beings of Heaven envy humans so? You are given free will to do and become anything you want. You can mess up and sin and still be forgiven. But for us? Life is much harder. We are created for a purpose and one purpose only. There is no promoting,Only falling. Weather it be by death or temptation. When one falls though, we are just remade and replaced. That is the cold hard truth. I'm sure your wondering now how angels can love our father so? Think of it like this. You humans make cars and other useful tools to do your bidding's in your everyday lives. When you drive your car, do you expect it to talk to you? To love you? To even cook for you for that matter. And when it breaks do you not just get another one? That is how it is for us angels. Nothing but tools for our lord and creator. If I fall then I have no more usefulness.


His words held abit of a cold tone to them. He had to understand though that it was not her fault for not really knowing the truths of heaven. People believed what they could see and feel.Such things like the bible portrayed heaven as a beautiful utopia. And thus is was for humans. But for angels. Well...,no good deed goes unpunished as they say.

You are very wise Nyx. Wiser than most I know. But Ive waisted enough time. We must go now.

With that he took hold of her hand as they shimmered back to her apartment. His look of unrest was growing once more. He was anxious and nervous and many other human emotions that were all bottling up with nowhere to go. More so he did not understand them. In reality he was only a child though who was just lost.

[Nitalya]

Nyx had grown increasing curious about how such things worked in heaven as she had never been told before which meant only one soul in the pit knew of this only because he was the first fallen. She continued to frown as he explained that he was just a tool and was easily replace if he did fall. Demons were not much different in that aspect of it as many did not survive their first thousand years, but at the same time demons were grants free will to do whatever they pleased. There was still a system of commands, but they were loosely held unless given a direct order from Lucifer himself. She again had to wonder just why becoming a fallen was so bad if it gave them freewill to enjoy the pleasure of life to the fullest.

She wished to ask him more about the subject but decided against it as Le'stat mood had become stormy and he decided to take them back to the apartment all too soon. She was still knelled before him when they arrived back at the apartment and looked up at him with general concern as he seemed to now be pushing himself physically as well as emotionally. All too soon he would become over taxed and everything he held back out bubble forth in one fierce flood leading to one thing and one thing only and that was him falling.

'Le'stat i may not fully understand how things work in heaven, but you are right i am wise about things on this earth.... bottling up emotions will only make them worse even if you dont understand the emotion... It is much like my kettle in the kitchen, if you set it to boil on the stove, plug the spout then after so long the kettle will explode.... I know you are in a rush to find Zain, but do not so to at risking yourself.... I am here when you want to talk about your emotions.... we can skip picking up the other clothing if needed to make up for the time..'

She waited there and watched for his reaction ready to show him more reason as to why he needed to calm the storm inside him if needed, though he seemed to take to her suggestions readily enough.

[Risen]

'Le'stat i may not fully understand how things work in heaven, but you are right i am wise about things on this earth.... bottling up emotions will only make them worse even if you don't understand the emotion... It is much like my kettle in the kitchen, if you set it to boil on the stove, plug the spout then after so long the kettle will explode.... I know you are in a rush to find Zain, but do not so to at risking yourself.... I am here when you want to talk about your emotions.... we can skip picking up the other clothing if needed to make up for the time..'


Le'stat walked back over to her as he took her hand and helped her up to lead her to her living room before sitting on the sofa.With a sigh he began to think of how to properly word this as he rose him emerald green eyes upon her.

Very well. If you wish to hear my frustrations then so be it. But know that what you are about to hear must never be spoken to no one. No one ever. You see..., Fallen are out casted for this one reason. We know they now have the freedom that we do not. So not only do we envy them, but we are ignorant about it. Which goes all the way back to Lucifer himself. Do you know truly why he fell?

He paused a moment as he actually wondered if she did before answering.

He loved God to much. You see at first from the teachings we were taught that he fell because he disobeyed our father. On what though? Simple. He at first devoted all his love to God, then God created man and told all his angels that you are to love them more than me. He could not do it so he went against his function. Thus he was out casted from heaven.

It was odd how Le'stat was just spouting this out. His inner mind and tongue just letting loose with no control to stop it. One had to wonder if all angels felt this way? Were all angels this depressed inside?

But there is more. From that his hatred led him to rebel against God. He took several angels with him and created demons and attacked heaven. The out come you ask was simple. It made everything a true living hell for us. Before in his time there was forgiveness in our father. Now there is none and its all Lucifer's fault. Its all because of him that I lost my true only family! Just because I am a angel, humans think us to be happy,almighty,Pure and what ever other name they have for us. But in truth Humans have more power than all of us angels. The bad thing is...Some angels are beginning to wonder if its even worth protecting humans anymore. That's why I need my brother. He is very old, he will know what is right to do, even if he has fallen.

[Nitalya]

Nyx was very willing to follow Le'stat as he helped her up and lead them back to the couch to sit. It was easy to see that he was searching for the words that needed to be formed to break the raging wind and seas in his heart and mind. She took the place next him though left some space as to not upset him farther. His words surprised her as he almost made her swear not to repeat his next statements to another soul. She of course agreed as she was not about to let the information slip between her fingers without a fight.

She looked at him confused when he spoke of Lucifer fall and asked if she knew the true reason. It was not an uncommon knowledge in the pit as it was part of the origin, though as he continued some of the information had been left out for varies reason. It was not much of a surprise that he mentioned other angels who had not been to earth even questioned their purpose. What did surprise her was his true reasoning for finding his brother as he questioned was falling worth it.

Nyx could tell that he seemed a little more relaxed as if some of the heavy burden on his chest had been removed, though he seemed a little uptight still and for good reason as he just spoke of taboo. She slowly and expertly placed her hand on his shoulder as if to comfort him before she replied.

'i had not heard that before, and can now greatly understand your frustration in the matter. We will find Zain soon enough, though until then do as you have always done to protect your place in heaven. This will have to be something you choice for yourself when the time comes no matter what your brother may tell you also as it is your soul that is a risk.'

She then removed her hand and laid it across her lap as she looked over at him once more with concern. She was conflicted in trying to tip the scale in her favor now for him to fall, or to again wait until later when the timing was likely better. Thing would be better if he choose for himself instead of her forcing his hand as she would not have to worry so much about him leaving her once he had fallen. No she would wait as there was much fun that could be had that would not cause him to fall before the time was right.

'why not rest for a few moments as you used your ability too soon and once you have rested we can head out. ok?'

[Risen]

i had not heard that before, and can now greatly understand your frustration in the matter. We will find Zain soon enough, though until then do as you have always done to protect your place in heaven. This will have to be something you choice for yourself when the time comes no matter what your brother may tell you also as it is your soul that is a risk.why not rest for a few moments as you used your ability too soon and once you have rested we can head out. ok?

Her constant concern for him was admireing to say the least as he turned towards her and remembered a favorable human gesture as he leaned in close and hugged her gently as he barried his nose beside her neck before whispering to her.

Thank you. Your lucky you know. Or perhaps cursed to have heard the complaints of a angel and to realize what Heaven truely is. I know this though, I am surely lucky to have you with me.

With that he released her as he laid back. He was rather tired actually from the shimmering seeing as he forced the second one way to early. Now it would seem slumber would befall him as his eyes slowly crept closed. Though he had no worries. With Nyx around him he felt safe. Little did he know that this little demon was most likely plumping him up to be just right for the picking. Or perhaps his kindness was rubbing off upon her? Who truely knew.

With a half mumbled responce, he spoke his last word before being knocked out cold.

Thanks...miss Nyx.

[Nitalya]

Nyx was surprised by his hug and even even more so by he burying his head in the nook of her neck. She had tricked many beings over her lifetime but this was truly the first time she felt guilty for wanting to turn an angel. It could have been the fact that his life was not as glorious as demons thought. It could also have been that he trusted without a second though like an innocent child. There was no was to tell why her insides twisted and a sour taste fill her mouth when he spoke.

Demons like humans could have relationships and experience all the emotions par for one which was ever enduring love. The reason was demons were lustful creatures who thrived on creating chaos and misery for others thus it went against their very nature to not question another's intentions. They were at least better than warrior angels though as she found out as they would not be downed and forgotten for any relationship they had but then again what worse could they become if that was the case as death is the only thing that waits for them.

She sat there numb while he continued to hug as the thoughts filled her mind. is he truly lucky? to sit with his enemy and pour out his thoughts so freely? It would seem that this old dog still has some things to learn.... She waited for him to release her before she took her next breath as she had not even realized she had been holding. His fresh scent was intoxicating even now with such thoughts running through her mind though they did not cause her mouth to water nor make her body ache for him. She instead only wished to cuddle with him as her desire to keep him as he was had already won.

She was not sure what to say to him in response though it did not matter as in a few seconds he was out cold again. After ensuring that he was asleep before slowly getting up as she thought to move him to his bed as he would likely wake up stiff Though he seemed peaceful and did not want to take possible they last peaceful sleep he was to get from him. She instead fetched a blanket and lightly placed the blanket over him before she sat down next to him and leaned over against his should then drew her legs up against her chest and fell asleep also.

[Risen]

By the time he woke up the whole day was already gone seeing as it was now night fall. As his eyes adjusted he noticed Nyx laying right beside him snugged up onto his shoulder. To him she looked very peaceful as he quietly and carefully got up as he layed her down gently before covering her up with the blanket. Le'stat needed some time to clear his head and stretch his legs as he made his way to the door and left without a peep. It was not long until he was wondering on the streets looking around. Oddly enough he was not searching for Zain actually. He just wanted to get a better feel for the city as he walked past a small restaurant that had a couple outside laughing and smiling as they held hands and soon kissed. It was odd for him to see such a act for he had never kissed anyone before. Absent mindedly he touched his own lips and wondered what sensation humans got from such things like that. It would definitely haft to be something to ask Miss Nyx about seeing as she was probably no novice in those acts.

Deciding to take a short cut back to her place had him cutting threw a ally though. To his demise a group of street thugs were blocking the exit as he walked up to them oblivious to what or who they are.


Heh.., Empty your wallet pops and there wont be any trouble.

Le'stat stopped as he looked at the older punk.

My wallet? Sorry to disappoint you but I don't have one.

The older punk seemed to grow agitated with that.

Don't fuck with me man! Now ditch the cash or your gonna end up paying me with your blood!

Still Le'stat did not know what this kid was talking about, but it became clear now as the punk brought out a 9mm pistol and raised it at Le'stat.

I see.., You want to fight. Very well, but it will take much more than that tool to take me down. Perhaps you should have first came here better equipped?

Le'stat could not help but smile sweetly at the kid as the punk had enough and went to fire the gun only to have le'stat side step as the gun went off and grazed his shoulder. A mere flesh wound as he grabbed the boys wrist before slamming his palm into the back side of his elbow thus snapping the boys arm like a twig. The punks screams filled the alleyway immediately as the other two punks in fear ran off.

It seems your backup abandoned you. Not very reliable Allys are they? Now then be gone boy.

The kid with tears and shock in his eye turned and ran away as Le'stat shook his head slowly before noticing the blood stain that was dyeing his shirt red. Nyx would not like this he thought as he headed back quickly. After about five minutes he stepped into her apartment.

[Nitalya]

Nyx was usually a light sleeper out of habit as it was part of being who she was, as weaklings were always snuffed out. She had found comfort in his purity as she knew he would not anything to harm her and the amount of locks on the door would keep out any others who would wish to harm her allowing her to fall deeper into sleep than she meant to go. She was still in her dreamless sleep when he woke and gently moved her leaving her there now unprotected except for her locks if he even had used them.

It had not taken her long to become restless only to wake up startled since he was no longer next to her. She cursed under her breath at herself for falling so deeply into sleep and allowing him to leave her there. She rose and called out his name but he was not there to answer her of course which caused her to become frantic. She searched the condo for him and only found his armor which meant he was likely planning on returning, though things never seemed go as planned in the dark streets of the city.

She was about to call up a search party for him using her connections as she could not surely go to the police about him. What would they say when she told them she picked up a heavenly angel and he was now missing in the city as he would not have an id on him of any kind, nor would he likely even know what id were for. That was yet another thing she would have to educate him about and get for him to use. It seemed on top of finding Zain for him she had an even growing list of things he needed to learn to survive until that time.

She found a comfortable pair of boots and gathered up her wallet and spare key ready to head out when the door opened to produce Le'stat. Nyx was both filled with relieve and anger as she was glad that he was back, but it seemed he was not entirely in one as she saw the blood on him. She tossed the few items that had been in her hands onto the couch as she ran over to him while her eyes searched for his wound.

Her tone was that of a mother scolding a child as she spoke to him. 'Why did you leave without telling me? what happen to you? where are you bleeding? It is not wise for you to walk about alone til you know the city better especially at night.....' she stopped as she realized how much like an over bearing mother she sounded like. She instead stood there and waited for him to answer though she wanted to clean his wound.

[Risen]

He looked abit shocked and clueless to why she was so frantic. Surely she did listen to him when he told her he was a warrior angel? Surely a mere human fighting him did not worry her? He could only then chuckle at her. After all she could not truly know how durable he really was. So with the most sincerest of tones he took hold of both her shoulders and looked at her thoughtfully.

I am very sorry. I just needed some time to myself. I understand your worried and I should have told you that I was going out. But when I saw you sleeping there so peacefully like a angel, I just could not find the heart to awake you from your peaceful slumber. Do forgive me?

He knew now with her touching of his shoulder that she was worried that he was really badly injured. Oddly enough the wound was healing really slow, thus it still bled and seeped more into his shirt.

With a frown he backed up and removed his shirt to reveal that the wound had actually gone threw his shoulder, not only grazed it, and in the process it had nicked a vein.

I uh...got shot actually heh.

He actually found it amusing and impressive that the mans weapon did a good amount of damage on him, though oddly enough it looked much worse than it actually felt.

Hm, Well..I guess I underestimated the human people just abit. Those weapons actually sting abit.

With that he stepped past her and headed straight to the bathroom so that his blood would not drip all on her carpet. Once in the bathroom he sat on the edge of the bath tub and awaited her, knowing from the way she acted that she would surely take a look at his wound more closely.

[Nitalya]

It was more than odd her to want to clean his wound and the amount of concern she had for his well being, but she pushed the feeling aside as at least she had some excitement. She half listened to his words and even ignored his hands as the were placed on her shoulders in his attempt to comfort her . She was more concerned with the growing crimson stain on his shirt and so agreed to forgive him that was until he pulled his shirt off to reveal a gunshot wound that went through his shoulder. It looked to be of smaller caliber than some of them she had seen which was good, though something was wrong as a river of blood continued to flow from the wound.

She wanted to ask if he was stupid for getting shot, but held her tongue as if not to insult him in her anger. It just meant that there was yet another thing she needed to teach him about, though that would be after she cleaned and patched him up. The good thing was she had dealt with wounds thousands of times over for various reason, though out of 'kindness' was not really one of them.

'Earth is very different than heaven in so many ways, one being that swords are no longer the weapon of choice... and humans can be as heartless as demons themselves....'

She spoke while she followed after him into the bathroom and waited for him to take a seat. The wound seemed to be clean enough as it had started to heal, though it still bled meaning more than muscle had been torn through. It had been some time since she last patched someone as she healed quickly on her own without assitance meaning she did not really have a first aid kit. It was a good thing she had been trained on what to do if one was not avaible.

'stay here and put some pressure against againt that hole in your shoulder will you...'

She left the room headed for the kitchen and then her bed room gather up various items before returning to the bath room with a bottle of vodka, extra rags, needle and thread and a bottle of pain killer. She neatly set them on the counter before she sat down next to him again and pulled away the shirt from his wound. She then took the bottle of pills and poured out four of them handing them to Le'stat.

'Here these will help with the pain as it will get worse before it gets better.... I need to clean your shoulder so i can stop the bleeding, you might be an angel but i am sure if you lose too much blood it is not a good thing either...'

[Risen]

'Here these will help with the pain as it will get worse before it gets better.... I need to clean your shoulder so i can stop the bleeding, you might be an angel but i am sure if you lose too much blood it is not a good thing either...'

He still had yet to see the big deal for he had been injured far worse than this many times before. But he felt that she had been right this long, why start doubting her now? So with that he took the pills and popped them into his mouth as he began to chew them, having never took pills before as he quickly spit them out gagging.


What is that?! Poison?! Gah, If these numb the pain then I rather loose my arm!

Le'stat held his tongue out as he looked around drastically for something to drink as he saw the bottle she had which looked like many of the other bottles people drink from. With no warning he quickly grabbed the bottle from her and popped it open and began to chug the fluids inside. He could not tell which tasted worse, except suddenly the bottle fell from his hand as he got half way threw it and fell back into the tub rather dizzy like as the room suddenly began to spin abit. Part of him felt light headed and..hot. While the other was screaming what was going on as he tried to grab onto the side of the tub only to have his fingers just simply grip nothing.

Ah.....I don't like this!

He was now very sad and worried for he clearly did not know what was going on. First the poison like pills and now this drink that made him unable to move nor think right. Perhaps Nyx was madder than he thought...., On the good side though his arm no longer hurt.

[Nitalya]

Nyx had not paid anymore mind to him after he took the pills from her hand as she picked up one of the rags and started to rip it so that she could clean his wound. She only looked up when she heard him gagging and speaking of poison to her, though before she had the chance to speak up and explain he reached out and took the bottle of 100% proof vodka and started to down it like it was nothing. She sat there in shock that he could drink the stuff so easily as it still burned her throat when she drank it.

When he dropped the bottle finally she reached out and grabbed it just before it hit the ground, though while she grabbed the bottle Le'stat had started to topple over into the tube. She reached out and grabbed hold of his arm to steady him before she attempted to lead him back to the tube edge to sit back down.

'you were to swallow the pills not chew them... and that 'water' you drank was vodka which is a very strong alcohol that i was going to clean your wound with.... i am guessing you are very dizzy now, right? no worries it will wear off soon enough, but for now just sit still... and let me clean your wounds....'

She kept one hand on his shoulder to keep him steady while she half plugged the hole on the mouth of the bottle and poured a small amount on the piece of rage she tore off. She proceeded to set the bottle down before she picked up the rag and started to wipe over the hole in his collar bone. She continued to work over his wound and ignored any reaction he had to the pain that would shot through his body the moment the alcohol touched the tender flesh. It did not take long for the rag to become soaked with blood which forced her to grab a new one and continue her work.

After the wound was clean she picked up the needle and thread and after string it with much difficultly as she refused to let Le'stat's shoulder go in fear he would topple over in to the tub and hurt himself farther. She had to move closer to get a better look at the wound before she started to sew it closed using great care so that even if his healing power did not work there would only be a very light scar on his chest. She had not brought scicors to cut the thread forcing her to cut it with her teeth once more. She leaned forward and pulled the string just tight enough for her to get it between her teeth to bit it. With a single bit she cut the thin thread leaning only a small strand as the only real evidence of her stitching job.

Once finished she moved to the hole that remained in his back though it was clean it was still open. She then stood and moved in front of him while making sure that she did let his go as she did. Once in front of him she guided him forward so the he could lean against her giving her access to him back to continue her work. She worked quicker this time as she had both hands and after just a moment leaned down again and nipped the thread leaving him almost like new.

[Risen]

Le'stat cringed abit as the alcohol hit his wound. This was by far much worse than the gunshot its self. Why did it make sense to inflict more pain on him he thought? Though those thoughts quickly passed as with the drunkenness he found it very hard to focus on any one thought. Before he knew it he was being pulled to wards her to lean down almost in her lap as he caught scent of her. He had to admit, she smelled really good, Very..welcoming actually as he pressed slightly closer to her stomach. What ever body spray she used was simply intoxicating to the nose as he smiled.

Mmm..Nyx you smell so good that it makes me all tingly.

As he closed his eyes for what seemed like seconds that was actually more than a few minutes it seemed she was all done as he leaned up reluctantly to look at his wound that was now closed.

With a goofy grin he reached over and ran his finger across it smoothly.

Wow.., your so good with your hands...., Nyx your amazing.


Suddenly he reached out and hugged her once more pulling her close to him as he then leaned back and stood. Though alittle wobbly at first, he quickly regained his balance as he stepped aside her and placed his hand on her wall and made his way to her living room before falling back wards into one of her love sofa.


....Nyx. I have a question....I saw something interesting tonight. I saw a man do what you call kiss another woman. And from it she seemed very happy. They were eating and it looked like that was his repayment? It very much confused me for I can not understand what pleasure that can bring someone? Nyx...I trust you and have..come to need you more than I thought I would need anyone here. Will you teach me some human things so that I may never upset you ever again? Because...I really enjoy looking at you smiling. You have such a beautiful look that should not frown.

Le'stat leaned back now all the way as he closed his eyes slowly before opening back again once more. For all he knew she was not even in there as he spoke off the top of his mind.

[Nitalya]

Nyx never was one to listen and pay much mind to a drunken mans rants as they get old after the first thousand times she heard them since they never change much. She put the needle on the counter and stepped back for him to see her handy work, though still kept her hand on him to try to balance him. His comment about her handy work forced a smile at him for his silliness before she shook her head half wondering if he would remember it if she knocked him out and carried him to his bed to sleep off his drunkness. The thought of doing so felt odd its self as he was very open to her right now if she so choice to force him to fall, though she still did not want it just yet.

She had been slightly lost in thought when he suddenly reached out and hugged her almost throwing her off balance and both of them into the tub behind him. He seemed to take a liking to hugging her at odd moments making her slightly unnerved as she went against her instinct to take control of the situation. She instead froze in place and waited for him to let go before taking a deep breath and trying to force her body to relax.

She turned from him a quickly as she could and concentrated on cleaning up the blood rags from her counter. While her back was turned was when he stood and stumbled off to the living to sit once more of the couch. She had just thrown the rags away and was on her way to take the bottle of vodka back to the kitchen when she heard him speak up about the couple kissing and him wanting to learn about human things so that he can keep her smiling. She froze in the hall as she tried to go back over his words to make sure she heard him correctly. In his drunkness he wanted her to teach him how to fall so that she would smile, now that was a twist.

She looked down at the bottle in her hand and then over at Le'stat who looked like he may have passed out due to the large amount he consumed but alas he lifted his head once more looking for her answer. Had he not been drunk she might have his offer to teach him about human and demon things, but not while he was drunker than a skunk. No he would hate her most likely if she did and that would not be fun. She continued on her way to the kitchen and hid the bottle in a safe place to where he could not find it and think it to be water again before she turned back to him.

'You are drunk Le'stat and will not likely remember any thing we speak of tonight when morning comes, though i will tell you a few things if you promise to try and go to sleep after wards and not do anything foolish like this again. is it a deal?'

She spoke as she walked over to the couch and sat on the other end away from him. She wrapped the cover about her form before she patten her left thigh indicating for him to lay his head there.

'here lay your head on my lap and we can begin... Kissing is a form of affection a couple share when they are in a relationship.... though you dont need to worry about using it as a form of repayment... what would make me happy is for you to stay as you are..... '
