Marbas had to remain in control until we landed in the backyard. HE has the ability to look clothed, I on the other hand... well, it would not be a good for the town doctor to be seen strolling down Main street naked now would it ( ... )

"Would you believe I had them as I walked in the door?"
And oh, he sounds tired, and unhappy, and I am positive I am not helping whatever made his night so bad.
I curl up and pull my knees to my chest, laying my cheek on them so I can see him and not have to support the weight of my own head.
"It's Excolo Lucien, so, yes, I would." We just stare at one another for a very long time.
"The way I see it is..." I say slowly, sliding my body over next to his, but not touching, not yet. "We have to options here." He tilts his head and cocks an eyebrow. "We can either talk about what happened to us tonight, or we can agree to never bring it up again."

"It's Excolo Lucien, so, yes, I would." I laugh, but it lacks any mirth. "How does Tez put it.. oh yes... Fuckin' Excolo." I run my hand through my hair, and we just eye one another up.

"We have two options here. We can either talk about what happened to us tonight, or we can agree to never bring it up again." Wanda slides closer to me, obviously wanting to be close, but afraid. I hate that she's afraid that I'll hurt her. I hate that there are moments when I really want to. This may be one of them.

She coupled with a God. comes the deep rumbling voice from within my head, and I'm about to reply back a rather sarcastic reply, but Marbas' grumble overrules my thought.
It was NOT the Celt.Well, as much as I'd like to let this drop, I guess we're going to have to do some talking ( ... )

mistresswanda October 20 2008, 21:36:05 UTC

"Okay Wanda... I'll share mine if you share yours." And he's pulling me close, and I just want to curl into his lap and forget, even if he smells of fire and smoke and ash...
"But you're going first.Lucien's eyes go red, and I nod slowly. He's forgiving, but he also has every right to be quite mad as well ( ... )

Wanda goes into describing her day, and her mood. She won't tell me what caused such a melancholy in her, I only know she was supposed to go wedding planning with Glass and came back earlier than I expected. Wanda is prone to mopey moods, so I decide to let that go, I'll get it out of her another day.

"So I decided to go to the tavern and have a few drinks, hoping my mood would pass. Someone else was there, someone I owed a debt of gratitude to. I take a deep breath, here it comes. Who was it? Ares? Tez? Please, I can handle Tez...
"So I brought a bottle of Verdi's best whiskey and took it over to Gaueko--"I roar, lift her up and slam her against the wall. "ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID WANDA???" She all but screams and starts weeping again, and I let her go, she sinks to the floor. "The man.... the God of Night and Death that dislocated your shoulder, the same one that terrified Glass for weeks, and you're telling me got got drunk with him??" I'm shaking and standing above her, and yes, I'm on fire. I'm mad, scared and tired ( ... )

mistresswanda October 21 2008, 01:48:46 UTC

"ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID WANDA???"
What does one say to that? Especially when being held up in the air against a wall. All I can do is cry, and he drops me and I hit the floor.
"The man.... the God of Night and Death that dislocated your shoulder, the same one that terrified Glass for weeks, and you're telling me got got drunk with him??"
He's on fire! Oh sweet heavens help me, I've pushed him too far, and I just nod miserably.

"As long as you didn't tell him about the wedding,"
No, no I didn't tell him...
"He figured it out by himself!!! I NEVER said her name!" The nights conversation comes rushing back in a torrent of memory, and I drop my head into my hands and weep. "Oh God Lucien, we were drinking, and he asked me how my day went, and I just mentioned that I was amazed that someone would WANT to wear a brown dress.... I never said her name." I finish miserably, wiping my face on my tablecloth dress.

"Well then Wanda, I don't want you to worry about me killing you. I wouldn't dare take that pleasure away from Glass. ( ... )

docconstantine October 21 2008, 02:05:14 UTC

Oh my Wanda, what have you done? She relates her tale and I know, I know she meant no malice, there was no intent to hurt Glass. I know Kitten. But you really...
"I really fucked this up royally."
She finishes my thought for me. "I was about to say that myself." I say softly, reaching out and brushing my fingers along her neck, mending the torn flesh. It heals perfectly. "At least he wasn't minded to mark you as his own." I say dryly, reaching up into a drawer and finding a pack of cigarettes. Suck in the nicotine, finding it a stabilizer. Gonna need some type of calming influence, we haven't even gotten to the best part of the story yet, have we?
"Okay, you went and accidentally told the one person that didn't need to know." Exhale up into the air, the fix her with my steel blue gaze.
"Please, continue."

mistresswanda October 21 2008, 02:23:12 UTC

Lucien's fingers dance over my shoulder, and the bite marks evaporate.
"At least he wasn't minded to mark you as his own." I'm able to smile, a little at that.
"Hmmmm. Believe it or not, he wasn't thrilled either. Called anyone that would mark a follower a 'small-dicked sonsobitches'."
Lucien chokes a little on the cigarette.
"Please, continue."I sigh, reaching over to grab a cigarette and I wait for him to light it. Only smoke when I'm stressed, and after looking at me funny for a minute, he takes it, inhales and hands it back. I drag in the nicotine and it burns my lungs. Feels fuckin' wonderful ( ... )

"Woke up? Lucien, I don't understand. I just saw you ignite in the kitchen...."

This is not going to go over well. Inhale. Exhale.
"Wanda, what you've seen is what I'm able to harness from the Demon. You haven't seen him. He's been more or less dormant until recently..." I drop her hand, take several steps away from her, then turn back to face her.
"I'll explain it all, but.... it's easier to show you first."
I try to steady my nerves, suddenly knowing for the world it's really all my fault, I started this whole mess--
Lets just do this already, shall we?
I know Marbas is not happy about this, but if he's going to want out more often, Wanda will have to know.

Close my eyes and give up control... and the winged, humanoid lion now stands before Wanda. I watch from behind Marbas' eyes as her eyes go wide in terror...

DontScream!DontScream!DontScream!DontScream!

The urge to flee, to scream to do anything but stay here rooted to the spot is overwhelming. But I can't. No, I must stay standing, can't pass out. IT'S already seen my fear, but I won't run, won't give into it.

Take one step towards him, then another. He growls, and I stop, but don;t back away either.
You who would lay with a God of Night and the Dead, and you fear me? The Demon growls, flexing huge, blood black wings. I shudder involuntarily, at the rumble of sound.
DontRunDontScream I can handle this, I can bear this for Lucien, and if Lúgh can deliver what he promises, Lucien will be freed of this soon enough. I stand up straighter and look the flaming Lion in the eyes.
"I do fear Gaueko as well, I am not stupid. At least Gaueko is honest in his darkness, and knowing that, I can only ever be pleasantly surprised." Feel the anger start to build, anger at Lucien, moreover, anger at This. "I only fear you because you helped turn a good, gentle, kind hearted man into something ( ... )

docconstantine October 21 2008, 20:11:18 UTC

I have to hand it to Wanda, she wants to scream, or bolt, or do both, but she doesn't, even takes a few steps closer. Of course, Marbas would growl at her, and I groan inside our heads.
You're not helping.
Even better, he all but reprimands her about her activities tonight.
"I do fear Gaueko as well, I am not stupid. At least Gaueko is honest in his darkness, and knowing that, I can only ever be pleasantly surprised."
I think her candor surprises Marbas, for he just stands there, listening. Wanda's fear morphs into something more, something hard and angry glinting in her eyes.
"I only fear you because you helped turn a good, gentle, kind hearted man into something else. Something he was so much better than!"
Wanda's good and angry, quivering and crying silently, and now all I want to do is hold her and tell her the pretty little lies that we tell each other, that it will all be alright.
They stare at one another for a good long time.
"Give the control back to him now.... please."Marbas closes the distance between them, and ( ... )

The Demon touches me, and I manage not to recoil at it's touch.
"You two truly are well suited to one another."
Then, in a rush of heat tinged wind, the Demon is gone, and Lucien now faces me.
"That was Marbas. Are you okay?" And his hands are gentle, and his voice is soft...

and why can't we have normal fights?

I place my hands on his arms and rest my forehead against his chest. "I've been better, but I'm not going to pass out if that's what you mean." Take a deep breath to calm myself.
"Okay, so how'd Marbas wake up?" I ask tiredly, tilting my face up to his.
