Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 6:51:40 PM)
See now you're just appealing to my pride, even if I feel dreadful I'll have to do my best to hide it in every way possible. *She grins, her spirits lightening more and more with each passing moment a she points to the tarp and starts towards the boat.* I assume we start by getting this off?

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 6:57:39 PM)
*he nods, a feint grin as he eye'd his own attire* ..and am I ever glad I keep an extra set of cloths on board.. *the words out, he was already at work, hands moving fast, expertly untying the nots and pealing back the layers of heavy oiled cloth to reveal the white hull, then finally the small deck at the back of the boat, a pair of padded benchs there supplying storage for the cloth, the deck of the small craft was not large, but 4 people could fit in the 9x9 space comfortably, from the deck you could acces a small cabin, which could fit two passengers at most excluxding the pilots seat, a very small kitchenet was set up in there, off to the side past the small windows, which lead to what could only be the worlds smallest washroom*

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 7:00:54 PM)
*Helping as much as she can, and likely doing precisely the wrong things at the wrong times, nevertheless the will is there to be of assistance as the boat is prepared. Finally stepping on board she almost bounces on the balls of her feet in the excitement to get away from the city with all it's grimey corners and confusions.* As soon as you get the suit off the danger from papercuts will evaporate and you'll feel as good as I do. *Her hand reaching into her pocket she draws out an elastic band and quickly pulls her hair back into a high ponytail at the top of her head, the spark of light and life clear in her eyes now as she turns to look at him and offer him a salute.* Okay captain, consider me your first mate. You just tell me what to do and I'll do it.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 7:06:40 PM)
*he chuckles softly, watching her for a moment as the work was done, the look on his face enough to show that he held a special place in his mortal heart for this little piece of freedom, basking in the moment for a time before he just nods* ..well matey, tell you what.. you see if you can master the stove and get a kettle started for the hot choclate.. i'll do a quick engine test and radio out our departure'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 7:09:25 PM)
*She chuckles and starts towards the little kitchenette.* Great, my first role as a sailor is to make hot chocolate. *Slipping into the cabin she does indeed find the fridge, kettle and hopefully microwave as she begins hunting through the cupboards for cups, chocolate and anything else they could need.* You know since I came back to New Orleans I haven't left the city once, I don't think I even realised how crazy that's been driving me until just now.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 7:14:38 PM)
*he grabs his seat, key going to the ignition, a plume of dark smoke coughed out the back as the diesel turbines came to life, adjusting the throttle until it came to a dull idle, eyes scanning over his small instrument panel before grabbing his radio mount, giving off a serial code and time, a pause, then a quick acknowledgment comes in through the hand peice, and they were off, the boat pushing through the water with an amazing smoothness, hull balanced perfectly to ride the waves*

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 7:15:23 PM)
(( also, no microwave, just a propane stove/oven and basic kitchen accessories :D ))

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 7:15:44 PM)
(( and sink of course >.> ))

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 7:16:45 PM)
*Drinks prepared while he takes care of setting the boat in motion she moves towards the pilot seat and passes him the mug of hot chocolate, leaning against the back of his seat as her eyes take in the controls and then look up and to the vast expanse of sea that the little ship is pointed towards. A slow smile curling it's way onto her lips she cups her own mug in the palms of her hands and blows lightly upon the surface.* Thanks for this Dominic, I know you probably didn't plan for this kind of trip this evening.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 7:20:13 PM)
*he grins, a quick sip from the drink before it was set down in a nice little matching magnectic cup holder by his seat, the job done the boat pushing steadily away from civilalization* ..thank you.. and, don't mention it, can't have you going stir crazy in the urban jungle.. I mean, I love it out here.. this is home'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 7:21:35 PM)
As soon as I can get what I want organised I promise to return the favour. *She grins at that, the hint of mischief in her eyes once more.* Even though you may not want me to.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 7:23:45 PM)
*his brow furrows a little at that, locking the controls as he set a course for the open sea, head tilting back to look up at her* ..what do you mean by that?

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 7:24:23 PM)
*She grins in responce, spotting the frown and pointing towards it with the tip of her finger.* I have you worried now don't I?

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 7:26:26 PM)
...a little.... *the words coming soft, brow not quite unfurrowing as he moved to stand, heading over to the small closet*

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 7:29:03 PM)
*She tilts her head to the side watching him curiously as she takes the pilot's seat and holds the mug of hot chocolate close.* I'm trying to organise a portal from the atrium to the centre of the Amazon, I was thinking that once that was in place I would take you on a trip to see -my- place away from civilisation. What did you think I meant?

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 7:32:11 PM)
*he shakes his head, giving a quick smile as he dug through the supplies he had stowed, selecting a rather worn pair of jeans and a beat up, grease stained and faded version of his navy blue coast guard hoody* ..Thats just it Paige' *he smirked* ..its somtimes hard to tell with our kind'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 7:33:22 PM)
*She nods a little at that, a little shadow falling over her that she quickly tries to shrug away.* So a part of you remembers me as a friend, and yet there's still that nagging suspicio that I could in fact be a threat.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 7:36:50 PM)
*he shakes his head, frowning a little as he eye'd her, bundling the change of cloths over on the spare bench as he stepped towards her, hand bracing himself on the counter as the boat skipped over a small wave* ...not a threat Paige... no, and I remember you as one of my closest and dearist friends *he sighs* ..things are just different now, besides... there is no favour to return'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 7:38:07 PM)
*She nods at that, looking up to him with warm dark eyes that hold his gaze with a certainty that seems too vast for the body of the girl before him.* Things -are- different now aren't they? For all of us.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 7:41:35 PM)
*he nods, eyes lingering on hers for a moment, but he shakes it off hand moving to undue his tie, discarding it with the other clothing* ...but we will regain ourselves Aideen... *he shrugs*..or die trying, somthing tells me this second round is going to be our last kick at the cat'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 7:43:50 PM)
Death or glory? *She smiles and sips at her drink, rolling the little phrase around in her mind as she watches him.* You know Dominic, I understand what Chris see's as glory and what Sam see's as glory, but I still have no idea what fight you are planning to wage or who you are planning to fight for.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 7:47:17 PM)
*he pulls the suit jacket off, a faint smile returning to his lips as he casts it down with the tie, picking up the bundle of cloths and moving to open the door into the tiny little washroom, glancing back to her* Isn't it obvious... I'm fighting for my friends, what else have I got? *the smile fades, and the door shuts*

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 7:48:36 PM)
That's a lot of faith you have in us. *She murmurs the words as the door is closed, swivelling in the seat to look back out the front window. The cabin suddenly seeming too small and confined, she discards the hot chocolate by the kitchen sink and starts back up and onto the deck, shivering a little as the chill of the air over the water becomes stronger out here.*

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 7:51:48 PM)
*he re-emerges, bare feet sticking showing out the bottom of the faded blue jeans, hair ruffed into a mess, the hoody's sleeves rolled up, rements of the suit discarded with the rest as he made his way out to the deck, standing at her side, watching the city fad further and further away as the boat tredged on* ...so, what are you fighting for?

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 7:54:41 PM)
The world that we had. *She speaks softly as she watches the city moving into the distance at his side, the smile lingering around her lips for a few minutes.* That wild untamed perfect place that I existed in, that I existed -for-. I want to see it again, I want to feel it again. I -need- it in a way I can't completely explain. *She shakes her head a little.* Well that and I was fighting for Ra'az's sake, only I'm not sure that I'm much of a help there.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 7:59:39 PM)
*he sighs, arm rising across her back as he pulled her close to his side, holding her there, distracted only a moment as his head twisted to ensure their course* ...I'm sure you are... and should not doubt it *he sighs* ...I don't know, say we rebuild eden, I go back to what? Killing? *frown returning, closing his eyes, head bowing a little* no.. my friends are all i have, the rest... doesn't matter'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 8:03:37 PM)
*Shifting a little she leans back against him as though to do so where the most natural thing in the world, finding a strange indefinable comfort around him she smiles and looks out accross the water.* No truly I'm not Dominic. I'm not a creature of politics, I never have been. These games they all play are something that I was never made to understand or engage in. Life with it's ever changing colours, it's thrumming energy and passions for change... that is the place where I exist. You know that there you have to be or nothing will ever change. The leaves have to die, so that autumn can become winter and new growth can exist in spring Marduk.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 8:08:38 PM)
*he shakes his head, taking comfort in the warmth from the closeness they share, eyes slowly opening on the now very distant place they call home* ...yes, to be misunderstood, feared, hated and their greatest source of sorrow and pain... *a feint smile curls his lips, leaning in to press a soft kiss atop her head, words coming in an exasperated sigh* ..and people somtimes ask why I rebelled'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 8:10:50 PM)
*She sighs and draws his arm around her waist, clinging to the faint memories, to that feeling of connection in the midst of a world gone mad while they were trapped away in their prison.* They fear us all, hate us all. We are the very image to them of all that is corrupt and base and wrong with this world. They betrayed us, all of us.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 8:14:50 PM)
*he nods, falling silent, fingers curling in gently at her side* ...yes, but that will all change... if we have the time'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 8:16:22 PM)
Sam thinks we don't. *Her eyes continue to drift out upon the ocean around them, her senses drawing in the scent of the salt water, soaking in the stars that shine down from above in memory of a unspoiled world.* He is certain the Host will return at any day and the war will begin again.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 8:20:19 PM)
*he shakes his head, eyes drifting to the night sky, slowly sliding away from her side as he moved off to cut the engine, the city nothing more then a glow on the horizon, the boat left silent save for water lapping at its hull* ..the same host that let the walls of hell wall? *he grins* The same host that allows us to take these bodies and grow stronger by the day?

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 8:22:03 PM)
*She smiles and looks over to him at that, the silence letting her hear the waves as they lap against the edge of the boat, the stillness letting her feel that gentle roiling of the ocean beneath her feet.* He would say that if they don't realise what has happened yet, they will soon, and when they do they will return.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 8:24:55 PM)
*he grins, shaking his head, mug retrieved as he rejoined her on the deck, taking a seat on one of the benches, hands curling in around it* ...you'd think they might have noticed the death of creation itself...

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 8:26:44 PM)
Well they did set that into motion after all Marduk, it was what they wanted when they cracked the world and threw it into chaos. *Taking a few steps forwards she rests her hands upon the railing as she leans forwards to peer into the water below.* I think that maybe you are as filled with forgiveness as I am filled with anger. I think I envy that.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 8:30:18 PM)
*he takes a long drink, manageing to give himself a bit of a choclate mustash in the process, but doesn't seem to notice it, eyes just following her* ..forgiveness is easy.. maybe I should envy you your focus'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 8:33:11 PM)
*She looks back over her shoulder at him, a little smile coming to her lips as she notices the mustache.* What are you going to do when you're finally forced to choose? I don't even think I want to be there that day, or see you have to pick between them and us.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 8:36:43 PM)
*brow raising, shaking his head, empty cup set to the side, but he seems oblivious to the mustash* ..I made my choice.. and I will live with it'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 8:38:25 PM)
*She smiles and looking around spots a small towel nearby, walking over it and sweeping it up as she comes to a stop before him. Gently brushing the milk away with the end of the towel she finally shakes her head and looks into his eyes.* But what about when you have to choose between humanity and us Marduk? What then?

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 8:41:45 PM)
*his eyes linger on hers, faint realization sinking in as he glances to the towel, a quick flush of blood rising in his cheeks* ...I told you Aideen... I fight for my friends, we can't exist without them.. so i don't think it will come to that'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 8:43:10 PM)
*She holds his gaze, the towel dropping to her side as the last of it is removed.* And if it does come to that Marduk. If there is no way but to fight against them? If their numbers have to be lowered?

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 8:46:55 PM)
*he shakes his head, leaning close as he rises, the towel plucked off the deck, raising it up, holding it so it drapes down, waiting for the wind to catch the cloth as it begins to rot in his hand, cloth molting to dust and blowing out to the sea* ..that will be a sad day for them.. ((6sux, decay))

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 8:48:40 PM)
*She watches the towel evaporate underneath his touch, her head falling back a little as she followed the pieces of ash up and into the breeze around them.* You're like me then. Nothing makes sense except eachother, everything else is all corruption and betrayal.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 8:52:39 PM)
*nodding, he takes in a long slow breath, eyes drifting closed as he shaking off the after affect of bending creation to his will, he steps off, moving to the back of the boat* ..mean while our kind seems obsessed with courtly games, infighting, and popularity contests'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 8:55:47 PM)
*She chuckles at that and shakes her head.* It's their way Marduk, they can't deny it any more than we can deny the impulses that drive us. We are creatures of heirachy and I guess on some fundamental level they all need to understand exactly where they fit into the grand scheme of things.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 8:57:58 PM)
*a low sigh, shaking his head, brow furrowing in as he stepped up onto the back railing of the back, head tilting back to the stars* ...all I know is i lose a little faith when one of us starts relating the eternal war against grilled cheese, and...sex'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 8:58:36 PM)
*She blinks at that in confusion, turning back to look over at him as she struggles to make the connection.* Grilled cheese and sex?

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 9:00:42 PM)
..Selma.. *he sighs* though i've been trrying to convince myself she is deranged since our last conversation' *he turns, finally stepping down and taking a seat, eyes following her along the deck* I just hope we arn't all cursed to become that.... confused'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 9:02:04 PM)
*She chuckles at that and shakes her head, the wind picking up the sound and playing with it in the air around them.* I'm still not seeing the connection between grilled cheese and sex and our battle against the Creator.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 9:33:11 PM)
.

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 9:33:16 PM)
..

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 9:35:27 PM)
*a soft chuckle, shaking his head, eyes still lingering on the stars above* ..oh, neither could I.. but perhaps she has lost her true self in the body she enhabits'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 9:41:10 PM)
*She frowns a little at that, her gaze becoming serious as she ponders the question.* You think it's possible that she's becoming mad? I think I'd better drop by to see her and try to make some sense of it all.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 9:43:40 PM)
*brow furrowing, leaning back on the bench, a slow sigh slipping out as his eyes drifted back to linger on her* ..you count her as a friend?

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 9:45:59 PM)
*She smiles a little and turns back to him.* She's a healer, she's amazing at what she does. *Sighing she leant back against the railing and looks over to him.* The problem is she's become obsessed with a complete idiot and I think she's become more and more under his spell and influence.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 9:49:36 PM)
Oh? As in enslaved? *his brow furrows in, sitting back out, eyes narrowing on her, hands tightening on the fabric of his seat* ...that might explain it... right? Is there somthing i can do to help?

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 9:51:47 PM)
She's in love with him Dom. *She smiles, that gentle sadness running over her features once more as she wraps her arms around herself.* That's the kind of enslavement for which there is no release.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 9:54:56 PM)
*he frowns, eyeing her for a moment, slowly rising to his feet* Love, wouldn't know' ...want me to get you a jacket?

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 9:56:17 PM)
*She shakes her head to the offer of the jacket, the wind picking up her hair and blowing it behind her like a dark banner that symbolised the moment.* Do you know I've yet to meet anyone that it ends well for Dominic. It doesn't you see, it's a trap, this perfectly delicious trap...

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 9:59:48 PM)
*his eyes linger on hers, giving a slow nod, hands rising to pull the sleeves down over his bare forearms, a small rip becoming evendent in the left sleeve of this evedently well used sweater* ...Then why seek it out to begin?

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 10:01:05 PM)
(( *to being with? ))

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 10:03:04 PM)
*She smiles a little at that, remaining leant back against the railing a little too far, a part of her mind wondering what it would be like to just slip.* Becuse none of us know what the price is until it's too late. When Ra'az first came back, I didn't know about the history between us, I didn't even know that there was a history between us. That all came later.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 10:07:08 PM)
And Brianna was in love with Chris' *he shrugs, shaking his head as he steps off, eye's shifting to the wake his ship carved though the waves, moving off to the side to throw a winch, ship pulling slightly to one side as the anchor splashed home* ...I might be alone in this universe... but i suppose you don't get hurt being alone'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 10:08:45 PM)
You're not alone Marduk. *She speaks gently, his words taking her mind away from her own troubles and bringing her attention back to him. She watches him for a long moment, her eyes focussed on his profile.* Do you have feelings for her?

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 10:12:25 PM)
*Brow raising to the question, shaking his head as he looks back to her* ..I didn't really know her that well, I liked her as far as people go.. *he sighs, leaning back against the wall of the cabin, arms crossing over his chest* Was not exactly thrilled with the idea of her being solded off, but Chris has his reasons, and it is my place to follow'

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 10:13:12 PM)
(( solded? did i just write solded >.< -sold- ))

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 10:14:47 PM)
*She nods as she watches him, her eyes serious as she takes a breath and tries her best to save him from the same torment she was trapped in.* Amos fell in love with a mortal woman. He made her his servant and now they even live together as man and wife out in his swamps. I've tried to talk to him about it but he stubbornly refuses to listen. Whatever they were meant to be, what they are is changed Marduk. We remember the birth of creation, our lives are endless and timeless and within sixty years she will be dead. In the blink of our lifetime she will be gone forever and he will mourn her for an eternity.

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 10:14:52 PM)
(and lol)

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 10:19:29 PM)
*his brow furrows in, eyeing her a moment, clearly a little confused with the direction this conversation was taking, but he nodded regardless* ...shame for Amos then... he sounds a little mis-guided' *he shaking his head, eyes lingering on her as he offers up a quick smile* Dominic was a bachlor his whole life, and as for me... I don't even have an inkling that I was ever involed in one of the great romances of the past, perhaps it was always the way of the halaku to be alone'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 10:21:25 PM)
*She smiles a little at that.* Or maybe you're destined to have a happy ending and you just haven't found the beginning yet. It would be nice to see someone have it, at least one of us.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 10:24:12 PM)
*he sighs* ...you and Ra'az are inseperable, has been that way since the dawn broke it's first light on the water of the world.. *eyes drifting closed, leaning back against the wall as the boat shifted again, anchor latching itself finally to the sea floor*

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 10:25:35 PM)
I told him how I felt about him Dominic. *She speaks softly as his eyes close.* I told him everything that I felt for him. *Swallowing she turns to face the ocean again, her eyes sightless as they look to the waves.* He just looked at me and asked me why. Why would I say such things, why would I burden him with it.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 10:29:28 PM)
But did the words come from him, or the man he inhabits..*brow furrowing, stepping off from the cabin, moving close behind her, hands falling to her shoulders, gently kneeding in against the soft tendon and bone* ...we are all split now... we are all a little torn, and you must know that he loves you, he always has..

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 10:33:44 PM)
Maybe he did once. Maybe now he's just no longer capable of ti. *She smiles a little and takes one hand off the railing and crossing it over her own chest to lay atop his.* Do you remember when I told you that I thought maybe we were all broken?

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 10:35:38 PM)
*slow nod, not that she could see in, hands lingering there, voice coming low as he lost himself for a moment in her touch* ..yes..

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 10:37:23 PM)
What if none of us can be fixed? *She speaks softly, her eyes remaining on the ocean before her.* If he cannot be fixed... what does that make me? His slave?

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 10:41:41 PM)
His friend.. as I am forever bound as yours.. *his eyes drifting closed, head bowing low, free hand sliding gently from her shoulder, voice low* ..so we endevour to be fixed.. together'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 10:43:42 PM)
*Her hand drops as his does, resting upon the railing once more as she finds herself unable to look at him, unable to focus on anything but those strange unspoken memories that weave their way through her mind.* I'm just so ..... tired Marduk. I never thought I could ever feel so very tired.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 10:48:05 PM)
*he sighs, stepping slowly back, turning as he moved to the opposite railing* ..what would you have me do?

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 10:49:54 PM)
Nothing. *She smiles a little and shakes her head turning finally to look at him.* There is nothing you can do Marduk, though in my heart I know you would fight a war single handedly if you thought it would help, my most loyal and faithful of all friends.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 10:52:56 PM)
*he nods, glancing back, a feint smile playing on his lips* ..there is always somthing that can be done.. *brow rising* ..you simply require the will to ask..

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 10:56:31 PM)
*She chuckles at that and watches him, a flicker of amusement in her gaze finally interupting that sorrow that was so deep it seemed impenetrable.* Well then wise Marduk, what is it that can be done?

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 10:59:52 PM)
Find our friend a new body? *twisting to face her, dropping with a thud back onto his bench, shifting to kick himself back, laying across the bench, eyes cast to the heavens* ..find him a host cabable of loving you, the way you love him..

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 11:07:59 PM)
*She stops at that, the suggestion draining the blood from her face as she inhales a quick breath and looks over to him.* I... you would do that?

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 11:10:48 PM)
*eyes shifting to her, a low sigh as he shrugged* Would I force him, no... just as I would not force you against your will to perform any act. But find him a body more suitable to his needs? One more... compatable to contain his spirit? Why would I not?

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 11:12:25 PM)
*She shakes her head a little, the remaining smile still upon her lips.* No, he will find me or he will not. That is something that has to be left to see, and in the meantime I need to stop being maudlin and instead find a sebetu deserving of my friends attentions.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 11:17:11 PM)
*he shakes his head, eyes drifting slowly closed as he shifted to adjust his weight* ..you can not help feeling what you feel... *a sigh slipping, one eye opening to look to her* I simply wish to see those feelings receieve the respect deserved'

*She smiles and shakes her head, refusing to indulge in tears again, she'd already wept upon him once and once was surely enough for any man to be forced to endure.* We have time, at the very least we can hope that we have that on our side. *She smiles suddenly, trying to tease him back into a good mood with humour.* Unless of course Samuel is right and we are all about to go back to war, in which case at least we have death or victory to look forward to.

Either way the halaku come out on top hmm? *said with a smile, arm swinging out pat the bench opposite him* ...relax Paige... there is time, that much I know'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 11:27:31 PM)
*taking a seat on the indicated bench she smiles as she watches him, legs crossing and a curious question within her eyes.* Where do the rabbisu come out?

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 11:31:01 PM)
*brow raising, giving a quick smile* ..there in lies the ultimate question that none of us really wish to know the answer for'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 11:32:23 PM)
*She chuckles and leans back on the bench, a solem effort now made to ensure that the conversation doesn't return to the topic that leaves her feeling so utterly hopeless.* Well that's not overly reassuring Dominic.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 11:35:54 PM)
*he shakes his head, brow furrowing in* ..i hold few memories of the shadowlands Paige.. and I can not seem to access them any longer' *he sighs, letting his eyes drift back to the stars above* I'm not entirly convinced they are still there with creation itself falling apart'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 11:37:17 PM)
I've been to Aftermath. *She speaks simply as she hears his words, knowing instinctively the tie between the halaku and the shadow realms.* It's so sad there Dominic, those souls are so shattered and lost without hope. They need help. If you ever find a desire to save them, just say the word and I'll return there with you.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 11:39:47 PM)
*brow furrowing in, eyes shifting from heaven to linger on her* ...I think in that lies the answer for what await us... So, better to just continue breathing'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 11:43:02 PM)
Breathing and working and planning to build something better. *She smiles and leans forwards to place her hand upon his knee.* You know that whatever issue may exist between myself and Ra'az, he really does have a vision for us all. It's a vision that can help take us all back to what we were, take this whole place back to what it was meant to be. Then maybe, maybe once we have found our place in creation once more, everything else can make sense.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 11:45:45 PM)
*he smiles, hand shifting to grasp her own, rising up, eyes shifting to meet her own* ..I know.. and he has my pledge of support to see it done'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 11:50:47 PM)
*Her smile upgrades, the humour dancing in her eyes as she nods, holding his hand within her own small palm as she watches him.* In which case we should both immediately stop feeling sorry for ourselves, turn this boat around and go find a place to have a drink while we think of all the wonderful things in store for us.

Dominic Nordin (Nov 22, 2011 11:52:44 PM)
*he chuckled, giving a slow nod, giving her a smile in turn* ..back to the city?.. If i must'

Paige Villawood (Nov 22, 2011 11:57:51 PM)
*She grins suddenly, the dark eyes sparkling as she watches him, wanting to give him back some of the comfort he'd offered so freely to her.* Or you could tell me who interests and attracts you and I can help to find you someone to battle that lonliness my brave halaku?
