This month would prove interesting to say the least. Don't you agree, citizens?

It's been a while![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dreamsofnoah. Still have that circus of yours?

[Private voice to Lilith:]
It's been several days now. Seeing as you haven't returned yet, have you finally grown afraid of me, Lilith? Ha ha.
[/private]
[Action Log: The Arena:]
[A change in scenery was definitely called for. Having tolerated the ticking sound for the past few days that Lilith had been gone, the sinner decided to spend his evening at the Arena to enjoy a nice meal and drink while observing and betting on the fights presented. 8:30 pm.
Though his thoughts were else where. Going over his available resources in his head, he now had to carefully re-think his tactics yet again. Whether it was something the deities specifically planned or just a coincidence that he had such curse placed on him was unknown but it was irritating to say the least. Even his supposed 'allies' now knew of his background in much detail than he had hoped to share. But then again, things were now more black and white. Only those with the same goals and intentions would seek him in private which cut half of his work. Those deities sure knew how to keep him on his toes.
The other half was figuring out what to do with Lilith. She hadn't been home for the past several days after that curse. Things were a little more complex now that she knew of it but he didn't think anything of it besides receiving the same lecture. Quite frankly, he was pleased to have some quiet time but it didn't change the fact that he still needed to keep his eye on her along with Mary. He'd never admit it but he even went to make sure her portrait wasn't hanging in the Hall of Missing at that. It was a good thing she hadn't completely left the City, especially after browsing through the report Shader had sent him. A big discovery and a huge asset, not to forget she had been possessed by her once in the past. He couldn't afford to lose something like that now.]
[ooc: Open action log for anyone but it was mainly to portray what he's thinking at the moment after the huge mess Chrno made for him =TTWTT=;;;; It can even be closer to midnight so that it carries over to today's curse! Just let me know if you have any ideas you'd like to share~ Thanks~<33]

Perhaps to find out what's really going on or maybe for some other unknown reason but it didn't matter either way. He convinced himself it was to make sure things weren't unfolding behind his back.
A step into the doorway, the sinner waited to intercept her in a manner she couldn't avoid him.]
[AP]
Date: 2009-10-09 11:50 pm (UTC)I have to end this for Abel, Elissar and my people. That was what she shared with Aion, they were both driven in what they wanted to achieve.
She would dismiss him of her thoughts, he sounded well enough, making the wrong assumptions. That would give him strength to continue his road, to believe that she was afraid for what he did or could do. She looked up as she was about to move out the doorway, without being aware of his presence near.]
[AP]
Date: 2009-10-10 12:58 am (UTC)Yo. I never expected to see you here of all places, Lilith. [He paused as he allowed the feeling to settle while quickly calculating in his mind of what to say. He knew well she was anything but afraid of him.] It's been a while.
[AP]
Date: 2009-10-10 02:37 am (UTC)It has been only a week, Aion.
[AP]
Date: 2009-10-10 12:51 pm (UTC)I couldn't help but notice it's been a week without notice, which is unlike you seeing as you've hunted me down in the past, what can I say? If I didn't know any better, it would have gone longer but I suppose not. [He paused.] What's the matter now?
[AP]
Date: 2009-10-10 05:35 pm (UTC)You are looking good.
[She observed with a small smile. It confirmed her choice, he certainly didn't need her around.]
Don't you know? I think you do, Aion.
[AP]
Date: 2009-10-11 04:15 am (UTC)Then quickly drop those ridiculous thoughts and simply come home.
[He sighed and waved his hand in a dismissing manner. Things were rather inconvenient when she wasn't there to say the least. Besides, he knew how much she liked being at the Cathedral.]
[AP]
Date: 2009-10-11 10:29 pm (UTC)[She asked him, without moving from her place, like a living statue. She had stayed with him in hopes he would have a company that would relieve him from the past, but all she had done was the opposite effect.]
What would you do if, tomorrow, I would be gone from the City?
[AP]
Date: 2009-10-13 09:36 am (UTC)What else? I'd simply be doing what I've been doing. [His tone changed for the serious and stern.]
As for the why, leaving the possession aside, I don't need your unwanted sympathy or pity simply because you've learned something of my past. I could careless where you go or what you do but I know where you want to be.
[He reached out to caress her cheek as he recalled all the things she had called the Cathedral. Her place of spiritual peace. Her house and roof. Her home not to forget about the garden she enjoyed tending to. Hearing her numerous times of just how much she 'cares' was enough to think of assumptions of why she'd leave. Foolish and still strange as ever. He would never understand her. It was none of his business but he figured he'd mention it for his own convenience as well. If it'll persuade her to come back, great. But if not, he'd simply have to monitor her otherwise. The demon just preferred the former than the latter.]
Do as you like. Just don't say something as absurd as it being for my sake. That's all. [His hand slid off her skin as he began to turn around in attempt to walk away.]
[AP]
Date: 2009-10-13 05:45 pm (UTC)[She glanced at him, a little tired. She knew he was trying to convince her to get back home, but she also knew he didn't know what he was asking for. It would hurt now, but the pain would dull after she would be gone from the City.]
Don't you see? My presence will hurt you. How could I stay knowing this?
[She watched him walk away to finally add.]
It's too late for me, Aion.
[He had those delusions he could take the power of the deities, to transcend space and time as they did. She had agreed to wait when she didn't know about his mother, but he wasn't aware every passing day, meant their victory. The Krsnik he was so interested about.]
Knowing is too late, would you even want me to remain?
[AP]
Date: 2009-10-13 06:25 pm (UTC)It's too late for me as well. I've made up my mind, Lilith.
[An indirect way of saying yes. That was all that was left for him especially after all that's been revealed in the City. Her being there was a support just as Shader was. A support he could most definitely use even if it were for a given amount of time.]
[AP]
Date: 2009-10-13 08:27 pm (UTC)Maybe if there is a common afterlife where we could meet. You will tell me if that was worth your life.
[AP]
Date: 2009-10-13 08:41 pm (UTC)Over coffee and vadas I presume.
[AP]
Date: 2009-10-14 03:39 am (UTC)[She said while she settled on his arm. It was a resigned smile on her own, but one that was still peaceful.]
Too much.
[AP]
Date: 2009-10-14 07:11 am (UTC)[Aion lightly snickered as he began to walk again, this time guiding her out with him.]
