Aun shakes his head ever so slightly and narrows his eyes as she turns to walk. "Now, did I say you could go anywhere, Angel? Get back over here and actualy greet me properly. Though, it's good that you feel guilty. I was begining to wonder by that greeting if you felt anything at all anymore." His lips pull into a smirk. "You're starting to lose the Angel that I fell for, which is not a good thing. I suggest you regress, at least slightly."

Cythis angles a thin silver eyebrow at the man before him, just looking at him for a moment. Those dark gray eyes lingering there, staring at him, but not really at him. It's as if the man is important, yet then again not. After a few fleeting moments his gaze falls once more to Elanorin, the eyebrow remainng arched upon his face as she speaks the words 'Mission accomplished.'. He seems a bit puzzled, after all, to him a mission would be something that was handed down from the other's back when he was a tool, what mission could she be speaking of? He'd not known her to take orders from any but he, and he is very lapsed upon those orders. If she'd look at him, he'd have his head tilted to the left ever so slightly, and that confused look upon his face. Though as she continues speaking and nods ever so slightly. "Alright. I suppose I could look aswell, though I know not what I'd be able to do well." A slight shrug rises and falls in his shoulders as he begins to step towords the counter, the shadows around him seeming to breath, as they expand and collapse like one's lungs taking in a deep breath of air. Slowly but surely the shadows fall away from him completely, the darkness lingering where it belongs instead of around him, even if it were only slightly. His tail swaying absently with his steps, before curling around his waist and remaining there, blending in with his outfit. "Have you been having a good time in my absensce, Elanorin?" A simple question escapes his lips, followed by a simple smile. Elanorîn caught Cythis' confused look and smiled, she knew it well and seemed above all to excel at unintentionally bringing it out. She let the hand that held his, intertwine its fingers with his as he came closer to her and the cat. "There are plenty of things you do well." She smiled warmly at him. If he wanted to, she was convinced he'd have no troubles finding something but she had no expectations with regards to him working. That was up to him. She laughed a slightly sarcastic laugh at his question. "I only just got here but I wouldn't say I've been enjoying myself per se. I walked around for a good while and then I found a tavern but barely had time to drink a pint before I got shouted obscene abuse at and thrown out with various utensils whizzing past my head." She patted the cat. "I was only asking about some food for the Little Mistress here. Which is why I ended up looking up this petstore, to get her some food, she seemed so very hungry." The pity was more than obvious in her voice and her eyes as she continued to pet the mangy cross-eyed cat and glancing at it now and then in between giving Cythis most of her attention. "Brad got a similar treatment in that wretched tavern and offered to show me the way." She turned to Brad briefly with a genuine smile in thanks. "And that was my little mission." She knew the use of the word 'mission' was a vast exaggeration but she found it fitting somehow though she could see why Cythis had gotten confused with the way he saw things. He was probably used to that word being used in very different circumstances. "Now that's done, no point staying here, I guess Angel is still outside." She smiled and turned to get the door, letting go of his hand after giving it a light affectionate squeeze. "How about you, how have you been?"

Angel stopped in her tracks when he spoke. Her mind carefully turning over every word he said. Regress? Let her old personality take over? Angel pursed her lips as her golden gaze turned downward. Her mind traveled back to a lesson with Raven, her sire.
”Angel! Listen to me for the love of god!” Raven growled in a low and dangerous voice. His black eyes narrowed to slits. Innocently Angel glanced up from the ladybug she had been tracking. Her head cocked sideways in slight confusion. “Look. To mortals you are a ageless and terrifying being,” He continued. “You need to act that way! No chasing after insects or any of that nonsense. Show your seductive side; let the mortal men want you with all their being. Forget the way you used to act. That annoyingly carefree spirit, let it all go!” Angel was now practically glaring at Raven. “But that’s me. That’s how I am,” She said with slow and deliberate meaning. “And do I look like I care you meaningless little whore? My ultimatum still stands strong. Question my teaching or ways and I leave you.”
After that episode Angel hadn’t questioned Raven one little bit. She had allowed him to claim her body out of pure fear. Fear of being unable to control her new abilities, Angel of course wouldn’t admit this to Aun, her pride wouldn’t let her. But the idea of throwing away this façade was to tempting. This behavior had already made Elan more distant then was normal.
Slowly Angel turned around to face Aun, uncertainty was the main expression within her golden eyes. Already it had taken long minutes for Angel to ponder his words… now to make a decision? Should she turn back to her love and do as she was told. To greet him how she longed to. Or should she turn away. Turn away and fade into the darkness.
Suddenly, as if on a whim, Angel began to walk forward, to walk towards Aun. When she reached him she knelt in front of him. Her golden eyes sought to lock with his before she’d bend her forehead to touch the ground in front of his foot. Her eyes were closed and her long mane of silvery hair fell around her, mingling with the dirt and grime of the streets. Angel kept silent. She simply remained in this position of perfect submission. That old fear from her early mortal years crept back. The fear of being left alone. Of being left where she seemed to have no place. Where she didn’t belong.

Cythis listens to Elanorin's explination of things taking place and tilts his head to the side. He's rather glad he wasn't around to witness such an event, after all, he may be calm cool and collect, yet, he's never been faced where Elanorin was being shown such disrespect too, nor where she were in danger. He's not certaint how he would react, perhaps emotion would get the better of him, or perhaps his mentality would be as cold and calculating as it always is. It's not a sitation he wants to be put in, simply for the fear of acting out of emotion and making a stupid mistake.
"Very interesting mission. I cannot say I understand the attachment to the animal thogh, or why you would go through such things to simply feed it."
Hey, you have to remember, Cythis never had a pet, never knew anything of the sorts. Ah, he lived such a sheltered life, even if it was far less sheltered then Masivyr's, it was still sheltered. As she heads towords the door he quietly follows, moving to remain a single step ahead of her.
Upon exiting the store, they would, of course, see Aun and Angel, in a very odd sort of position. Angel kneeling before Aun so low that her face is agaisnt the ground.
It is at this moment in time that Aun looks down at Angel and shakes his head a bit, slowly crouching down and bringing a single hand to brush through those soft strands of hair of her's, slowly looping around her neck and down under her chin, clasping his hand lightly around her chin, fingers on one side of her cheek, thumb upon the other, and gently motioning for her to stand up.
"Okay, not exactly what I had in mind but it works. A simple kiss would of been better you know?"
The demon flashes a fanged grin as he looks at his love. His hand slowly falling from her face, that is unless she aches so much for the touch to remain, that she'd try to hold his hand there. His gaze watching her for a moment as his black wings flicker outwards before moving, bending ever so slightly around both of thier forms, concealing most of thier appearance from view from the other's. Hey, Aun never said he was the type to kiss and tell.

Elanorîn looked over her shoulder as she reached for the door and gave Cythis a smile before glancing at the cat.
"It's a cat. I like cats and thisone seemed hungry... she's probably a stray, poor thing. Not always easy for them to find food on the streets. I didn't know I'd get that kind of reaction for asking for some food for her... I don't think I'd say I went through any great lengths." She smiled and shrugged. It seemed creatures roaming the streets was a particular soft spot to her be it four legged, mangy and cross-eyed or a young girl like Angel.
She pulled the door open and stepped out but stopped suddenly just outside the shop at the sight that she found; Angel crouched on the ground so low her forehead was against the Tarmac before Aunintra's feet. The look on Elanorîn's face was completely bewildered for a few moments, she was at a complete loss at what to think after what she had heard from Angel about Aunintra not to mention the strange behaviour in Angel... this was yet another sign of it.
She blinked a couple of times and as Aunintra brought his wings around the two of them as if to shelter them from view she diverted her eyes though the look on her face was still utterly confused. She had no idea what to make of any of it but she was beginning to feel more and more convinced she didn't like it, something about all this was making her uncomfortable.
"Aehh... ehm... ah..." She walked away a few steps before stopping, keeping her back turned to the two of them, this was obviously something private they had barged in... or out... on and she tried to lend them some privacy. She looked down on her hands and then her feet, blushing. Not so much for herself but she felt embarrassed on behalf of Angel. Very much so.

Brad nodded to Elan, smiling about something or other as he follows the two out. His smile widens when he sees the two on the street, but he doesn't really comment on them. Instead, he faces the other two.
"Hey, mind if I tag along? Some shadows around here ain't nice."

Angel raised her eyes as Aun's fingers gently lead her gaze to his. A shaky smile went to her lips as she slowly stood. Angels eyes soon closed once more. The warm hand upon her face was like wakening from a horrible nightmare. Her smile became more sure and her face softened.
Of course when Aun went to draw away his hand she held it there. "Noone can take your place Aun. Not a single soul in this world." Her golden eyes were filled with the emotion she had long ago trapped and concealed. That emotion was now flaming through her form and she felt as if she was human again.
Angel wrapped her arms around Auns neck, drawing hims as close as possible, she melting happily into his embrace. Oh yes, now she knew exactly why she had fallen for this stubborn and cynical demon in the first place! Angel was just so content at that moment, that she had no idea of the events going on around her.

Cythis shakes his head slightly, but diverts his gaze to follow Elanorin, after all, she's the only one he's really interested in. He walks after her and waits for a moment, giving a faint smirk as she seems slightly embarrassed over the situation, embarrassed isnt' something he's every really been, he's not sure he'd know how, truthfully, but it's fun to watch other's be.
"So, does this mean we are to keep the cat? Or what is it you wish to do with it?"
He's puzzled as always, but it doesn't show quite so clearly this time, expecialy after his eyes shift towords Brad, a slight arch of his brow is given and a gaze around at the shadows. Of course, he'd taken Brad's statement literaly and finds nothing wrong with the shadows around them, this does confuse him, and it shows. He looks at Elanorin with that blank expression.
"What does he mean by 'Some shadows around here ain't nice.'?"
His gaze stays upon her, waiting for an answer, for the moment, Brad's question goes unanswered, at least by him.
Aunintra grins a bit, his lips pulling ever so slightly in that cocky half smile of his as he watches her. His free hand moving to push through her hair about the time she goes to wrap her arms around his neck, and follow through with the motion to slide down and wrap around her, resting his palm against the small of her back.
"There we go, much better. And trust me, I know no one can take my place. I'd murder them before they could. Heh."

Hm?
Elanorîn looks up, snapping out of her train of thought as Brad speaks to her. She is still a bit caught in her thoughts and doesn't speak before Cythis does. Her eyes then moving to meet his. As he mentiones the cat and the idea of keeping it she shines up a little and looks behind her as if to see if it had followed, she caught a glimpse of Angel and Aunintra and turned back again quickly.
"Ohh... you're right, we should, that's so sweet of you." The thought hadn't occurred to her but as Cythis suggested it, it was perfect. "She could do with someone looking after her, poor thing. Naturally, no one can really ever own a cat so I guess it is more a matter of letting her keep us." She laughed softly.
At the second question she had to raise an eyebrow for she didn't quite understand it either and she looked at Brad questioningly. "I don't really know... what do you mean, Brad?" She had never really worried about shadows, especially not since she met Masivyr, though she knew they could hide creatures of all kinds. "And as for you coming with... it's not really up to me..." She looked at Cythis. "...I was going to ask Angel to show me where she lives... unless you feel we ought to start hunting for a place of our own immediately, Cythis." As far as she was concerned Brad was welcome to come if he so wished but she was not really the one to make that decision. Whether it rested with Angel, Cythis or even Aunintra, she wasn't completely sure.

Having happily eaten her fill of fish- hm, good fish. Good human, nice human. Fiiiiish...- Aylor is now licking her mouth contentedly. She would prefer to sit somewhere in the sun now. Lick her paws. Maybe her tail. Roll around in the dust.
Instead, she finds herself yet again with the human. Of course it could be worse. She gives Cythis a cross-eyed suspicious glare, and climbs up on Elanorin's shoulder. From there, she bats a clawless paw at the woman's hair, and rubs her mangy ribcase lovingly against the woman's head.
She purrs, giving the shadowy creepy person a triumphant, very false glance from an angle where Elanorin cannot see.

Brad shrugs, smirking slightly. Funny enough, the expression seems to suite him well, due to his ratty face.
"Some of the shadows out here reach out and try to kill you. So... yeah. Mind if I tag along?"

Angel smiled seductively. "Much better. I'm glad your no longer mad.. at least not as much as before. I've missed you. And.... You know, I never did know what rested under these garments. I'm extremely curiose." Segestive bluntness. Angel's new specialty.
Her golden eyes wer e removed from Auns face for a moment as she glanced towards the others in the area. She raised a brow slightly as Elan talked about bunking with her again. She personality thought Elan would want her own place. Hers was a small apartment that had dark curtains on all the windows. She slept in a coffin under the bed.

Elanorîn let out a slight delighted laugh as the cat jumped up on her shoulders. She offered some unneeded assistance for the feline to keep her balance and soon converted it to petting her and smiling as she felt her rubbing against her head. Such a sweet little creature.
Still amused by the cat she looks over at Brad as he spreaks. His comment on the shadows reaching out to kill causes her to frown a little and look to Cythis. Though she had never seen such a thing happen she somehow didn't doubt the possibilities. If anyone knew it was Cythis, she thought. Brad seemed a nice enough man from what she could tell and she didn't mind him coming along at all. Always quick to trust, she saw no reason to turn him down and offered him an honest and open smile as she petted the cat on her shoulder again, making sure not to touch the tail.
"As far as I'm concerned you're welcome, Brad." She glanced towards Angel and then turned her eyes back to Cythis with another smile, seeking his opinion.
"Cythis?"

Aunintra shakes his head ever so slightly and gives a smirk at Angel. "Yes, you're right you don't know. It's a pitty really, though I think I'll make you wait even longer to find out. Just because you're so eager to learn." Yeah, Angel's seductions really hold no sway over him. His wings slowly folding back behind him as he looks over towords the other's, seems a crowd has begun gathering outside the pet store. A slight shake of his head is given but no other recongition.
Cythis, on the other hand listens quietly as Elan and Brad speak. He doesn't seem to mind the thought of shadows all that much, but then again it's what he's born of, why should he really fear anything within them? As Elan says she doesn't mind Brad coming and askes if he does, he looks at her for a moment and shakesh is head a bit. "I wouldn't mind at all, Elanorin. He seems to be an aquantince of your's so, it's fine with me."

Angel laughed aloud. "Your impossible Aun! I swear to the gods, before this incident you would have been in a euphoria if I asked for your teachings!" She shook her head and made the movements to sweep her lips over his. "But I do not mind. All I ask now is... am I still allowed to... 'play with my food?'" Angel grinned.
