[35] One problem after another [Closed, backdated action log]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Aion managed to return to his room undetected after successfully capturing a second apostle out of shear luck. That was quite unexpected and frankly, as lucky as that was, he wasn't in any mood to be greeted by anyone else, especially if the next person coming were to be him. He plopped down into his seat as he deeply thought.

Now, what was he to do with Lilith. The things she said. There was no doubt, she would betr- no, she was never on his side to begin with. The sinner lightly sighed and softly cackled. He was a fool for relying on her this much. He never realized how tough it was to do everything on his own, though it wasn't anything he couldn't manage. He sure took Shader for granted, he thought with a weak smile. The apostles will have to be moved by tomorrow, he decided as he adjusted his glasses.]

[ooc: Sorry for slipping this entry in at the last minute but yea, we wanted Mary to get some action so... this happens a few hours after this;;;; ]

I know you are there, Aion.

[Lilith's voice rang outside the door. She tried to be diplomatic about this, but after Rena, she didn't trust Aion when came to little girls.]

We need to talk.

[Cathedral: Aion's room]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[The expected moment had come. Aion spoke through the door as he picks up a book that he had been reading on hacking.]

I have nothing to say to you. You might as well be on your way. [What was there more to talk about? Why does she do this all the time? Why does she force her way under his skin!? What did she have to gain? The more he thought, the more frustrated he became.]

[Cathedral: Aion's room]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

No, we must talk.

[She said, giving up and talking to the door.]

I gave permission to Chrono to search inside as long he wouldn't attack you.

[Cathedral: Aion's room]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He grinned and sighed.] I figured much.

[He fell silent before speaking up again. A blank stare down at his book.]

What you're doing is pointless. I'm sure he's said it as well. It's inevitable. Our goals clash too much.

[Cathedral: Aion's room]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

You can't achieve your goals here.

[She sighs.]

Let me in, Aion.

[Cathedral: Aion's room]

[jiyuna_togabito]

It's not to say I can't prepare further for when I do return.

[He shut the book after a minute and stood up as he glanced towards the door. He walked towards it and slowly opened the door. Blank eyes staring down at her.]

[Cathedral: Aion's room]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[She stares up to him, worried about his well-being. He was captured once and she had to be cross armed in the whole battle.]

I wouldn't let anyone hurt you while under this roof.

[Cathedral: Aion's room]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Those eyes again. If she would directly despise him, things would be easier but instead, she always gave the same eyes Shader gave him. But she had a reason. Lilith on the other hand. He spoke under his breath frustrated with a hint of sadness heard.]

...Why are you still siding with me? You have no merit in doing so.

Re: [Cathedral: Aion's room]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

I am not siding with you. [She smiled and shook her head gently. She sighed, admitting] I disapprove of what you did and I would release that girl if I found her. [She shook her head] I worry about you because you are my friend, someone very dear, even though we don't agree in this, I don't wish to see you harmed again. You have suffered enough, haven't you?

[Cathedral: Aion's room]

[vaguelines.livejournal.com]

Lilith?

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[A friend huh? When was the last time anyone was this sincere besides those who wished to achieve the same goal as him? Was... Was she like this too? Aion was about to answer when he senses and hears the presence of yet someone else in the building. His demeanor changing, the sinner stepped out and gave a smirk along with a sigh.]

Well well. The holy saint herself, Mary Magdalene, and alone nonetheless. It's been a while. You didn't bring him along with you? Or have you decided to finally accept our deal?

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[Lilith turned around, a little surprised to see Mary in the hallway.]

Did you come to see me, Mary?

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[vaguelines.livejournal.com]

I saw that Azmaria had been here and was worried. I apologize if I am intruding on anything.

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[jiyuna_togabito]

I figured it would come down to this. [He narrowed his eyes and gravely spoke his next line.]

Despite being dead, I see you still have the ability to foresee things. I take it you're certain of the risk you're taking by coming here and admitting this?

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

Aion.

[Lilith reached for his shoulder gently.]

What harm does Mary could mean? And no, dear, you are not interrupting anything.

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[vaguelines.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am aware of the possible risks. But I wished to come to speak with you myself.

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He ignored the hand on his shoulder as his eyes stayed darted at the Saint. One hassle after another with irritation building inside of him.]

I've already said all that was needed. There's nothing more. Though simply for knowing the truth, I can't let you leave as well.

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

She's a guest.

[Lilith said firmly, almost scolding at his tone of voice.]

You will treat her with politeness under our roof.

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[vaguelines.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Lilith. I apologize for being such a burden.



You're worried because I will inform Chrono of where Azmaria may be, is that not right Aion? That is your concern?

[Cathedral: Hall way] dawww ajfdja;fjsa but mommy~ *shot* lol

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Aion averted his eyes towards Lilith's general direction for a moment before going back to the Saint's, clenching his teeth. She was far from a guest. He knew missing this step of the plan will be the downfall of it but...]

That power alone is enough amongst other things. [Pandemonium. How angry that name made him feel.] I'll have your head if that's what it'll take.

[Cathedral: Hall way] BE GOOD

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

Chrono is already on his way, Mary, you shouldn't have come.

[She tightened her grip without making it painful.]

Having your head removed isn't pleasant, Aion. Stop and listen to her.

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[vaguelines.livejournal.com]

Yes, I suppose you are right, Lilith. But now I know.



I'm sorry again for being such a trouble. That wasn't my intention.

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Aion gripped Lilith's hand on his shoulder as he turns towards her angrily.] Don't get in my way, Lilith.

[He narrowed his eyes as the Saint took a step back and quickly reached his arm out in attempt to grab her.]

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

I cannot let you harm her, Aion.

[She moves as quickly, pushing Mary to a side.]

If you wish to keep her here, do it without harming her!

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[vaguelines.livejournal.com]

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Aion drew back and deadly stared at her.]

Move out of the way, Lilith. You truly think she'll stay without some force?

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[She remains where she is and asks without looking at the woman.]

Mary, until Chrono comes here. Would you like to stay with me?

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[vaguelines.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is fine.

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[That completely defeats the purpose! He glanced from one person to the other as he barked.]

There is no mutuality in this! [What was Lilith thinking? What would that do for him? There was no use either way, fighting here could possibly risk the chance of losing the apostles and if he were to show up now there was no chance without anyone to back him up. He'll have to move them after Lilith leaves tomorrow. She should be able to greatly help him at a time like this. An idea churning inside. He placed his hand onto his glasses as he spoke calmer.]

I'll let her leave under one condition, Lilith. If that idiot comes, be the mediator and make sure he doesn't enter this premise. You want to play fair, let's place a bet on this. Let the true battle begin tomorrow. [He could always keep a close eye on Mary in other ways.]

[Cathedral: Hall way]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

You are the one who put us in danger by bringing people, kidnapping children here, don't get angry with me.

[She argued back. What was he thinking? To do such things in their household? Did he think she would cross her arms and let him do this that affected them.]

I will explain him for today. And next time, please war me beforehand if you want to turn our house in a battlefield.
