James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 1:09:38 AM)
*He chuckled walking out to the car and pulling out his key's though he paused to open her door first*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:10:20 AM)
Thank you. *She smiles and slips into the car reaching for her seatbelt.* So what -did- happen?
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 1:12:45 AM)
*He slid into the drivers seat and started the engine, pulling out before speaking again* Well, the lucky one's... I killed outright, there and then, some I tortured as they had me, or James rather, and the unlucky one's I scared so bad that two of them are in a mental ward, one for jumping from his fourth floor balcony, and he survived, the other because he swears that holy justice is upon him and that an angel is going to smite him.
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:14:07 AM)
*She chuckles at that and looks over to him.* Will you smite him or leave him with the constant expectation of your return?
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 1:15:16 AM)
I will leave him expecting the return, for his crimes, it is no less than he deserves... though, just to be sure he never forgets, I will send him reminders
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:16:09 AM)
That seems reasonable enough. Who knows you may even scare him enough to do something useful with his life.
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 1:17:45 AM)
Quite possibly... He ended the lives of so many who were innocent, and were trying to do something good with their lives, James' friends, and coworkers, he deserves no less than what he is recieving. *He drove them the short distance to his place*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:19:36 AM)
*She keeps her own council on the concept of innocence, not wanting to ruin a relaxed and pleasant conversation. Instead she shakes her head a alittle and looks to him with a smile.* So what -has- been happening while I've been away?
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 1:20:57 AM)
Nothing actually, like I said, the court has gone quiet for this holiday *He smiled and glanced at her* Been just waiting for your return we have.... Though me, I have been looking forward to it
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:21:39 AM)
*Sophie grins at that her eyes sparkling once more.* Are you trying to convince me you've been pining James?
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 1:23:12 AM)
I don't know about pining per se *Grinning once more roguishly.* But I have missed your radiant personality and beauty *He continued driving along steadily, pulling onto the side street where the parking for his building would be located*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:24:44 AM)
*She laughs once more, the lovely sound of her voice filling the car.* I think you are far too charming for your house, you have been spending a lot of time with mine haven't you?
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 1:25:44 AM)
No, well, yes, but thats not why I tell you things I tell you, its because I mean them. *He shut off the engine and turned looking to meet her eyes*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:27:56 AM)
I know. *She continues to smile at him.* And I have missed you, missed the lions, the city. You and Derek and Rohan have become like family to me... it reminds me of that time when 'He' united us and the whole was so much more than the sum of our individual parts.
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 1:29:15 AM)
Its kind of like that, I do feel more whole with you around *He smiled and reached out, stroking her cheek lightly. Before he slipped smoothly from the car and around to get the door for her*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:29:26 AM)
(brb kids need me)
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:32:38 AM)
*She smiled and stepped out of the car, biting a little on her bottom lip as her eyes drifted up to the star filled sky above.* As though there are endless possibilities just waiting to be grasped.
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 1:37:27 AM)
There are those and so much more *He smiled and shut the door. Sliding an arm around her he followed her gaze* There is so much we can do here, so much we will do here. But for tonight, its not about the vast possibilities of everything else, its about me giving you fun little presents, and perhaps a useful one *He chuckled lightly*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:38:24 AM)
More than one present? *She looked back to him with a smile as she started towards the door, brows ever so slightly raised in question.* Now I -am- intrigued.
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 1:40:24 AM)
*He chuckled lightly and walked with her* Well I know I said a present, but there were some things I just couldnt resist getting when I saw them *He chuckled again and leads her into his apartment, which, was nicely furnished, and finished now at least with getting all the furniture, giving the open floorplan a nice modern look*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:42:07 AM)
You've settled in here completely now haven't you? *She walks around the apartment looking at odd bits and pieces here and there, her finger reaching out to run lightly accross the wall beside her as though the tactile sense allowed her to ground herself.* You're definately staying.
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 1:44:54 AM)
After running into you here, and with everything else. How could I not decide to stay, at least for now. *He smiled looking at her, and walking towards his bedroom. There were a couple diploma's bearing his host's name, and marksmanship awards, as well as a news article about the things that happend to him and his tormentors in colombia. He returned from the back with afew packages in his hand*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:46:05 AM)
*Studying the news articles on the wall she turns towards him when she hears him return, her eyes immediately drifting down to the packages that he holds.* Are those for me?
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 1:49:31 AM)
Yes they are for you. *He chuckled lightly, and there were four packages, stacked in his hands from largest to smallest on the top and he set them down on a table*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:50:42 AM)
*Still smiling she walked over towards them.* You know now I really do feel bad that I haven't bought presents for anyone, I'm going to have to do some seirous work on those thieving skills.
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 1:52:45 AM)
You don't need to feel bad Sophie, and you dont even need to get me anything. Just enjoy what Ive given you, and hopefully you like it all
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:55:31 AM)
There's only one way to find out! *Upon which words she turns back to the presents and begins opening the top one completely unsure of what to expect.*
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 1:57:46 AM)
*The top one, being the smallest one, was a necklace, something water inspired by the dark blue gem that made the teardrop on the pendant, probably nothing extra ordinarily expensive, but not cheap costume jewelry either. He moved to sit while she opened her gifts*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:59:16 AM)
*Her finger touches on the dark blue gem and she smiles, her neck as always free from jewellry she immediately takes it out of the box and begins fastening it around her throat.* Oh James it's lovely1
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 1:59:25 AM)
(1 = !)
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 2:00:08 AM)
I am glad you like it. I was iffy, cause im not used to seeing you wear much jewelry *he smiled warmly*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 2:01:20 AM)
*She laughs and looks over to him.* Yes James but that's because I can't -afford- jewellry.
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 2:02:25 AM)
As beautiful as you are, and sweet Sophie, there are more than enough men and women in this world who would buy you anything your heart desires.... Though I admire you for the fact, you dont have them doing so. *He smiled still meeting her eyes*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 2:05:03 AM)
*She smiles a little and shakes her head.* It is nothing really admirable to be certain that you do -not- wish to be a whore. *She lifts her neck a little showing off the pendant.* What do you think?
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 2:06:49 AM)
(brb sorry kids again)
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 2:08:07 AM)
*He stood smoothly once more and moved towards her, looking at her and the necklace. His fingers reaching out stroking her neck lightly as he moved to look down meeting her eyes after looking at how the necklace looked on her* It looks incredible there, it was a pretty trinket before, but you make it look like something priceless.
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 2:08:09 AM)
(its ok)
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 2:09:56 AM)
*She smiles and leans forward to place a gentle kiss upon his cheek.* Thank you James, you are far too good to me. *Her eyes sparkle as she turns back to the presents and reaches for the next one.* But I won't tell you to stop.
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 2:13:41 AM)
*He smiled and returned the kiss to her cheek* Ahh good, cause Ive no plans to change. *The next was larger, and was heavier than one expected.* This gift is more a utility one, but a piece of a promise I made to help you, as is the one after it. *He smiled, and when she would open it, she would fine a tactical knife, and sheath, with a pistol, all of them smaller to fit her grip, and to if need be fit inside a jacket or purse, and all of them were matching, and a non reflective black*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 2:15:30 AM)
*Drawing the knife she looked to the blade, that darker glitter suddenly springing to her eyes, a dreadful unholy eagerness for conquest sliding over her like a cloak as she spoke in an almost breathy voice.* It's beautiful.
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 2:17:50 AM)
It matches the one I carry, and the handgun is the miniature of the one I carry. *He smiled watching her* But I promised to help you learn some more martial abilities. I figured these would help. *He stroked one arm as he watched her with the knife*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 2:19:58 AM)
*Her eyes remaining fixed upon the blade of the knife she felt it's weight in her hand, memories fluttering at the edges of her consious mind and threatening to spill over into this place and time.* Can we start with this, there's something.... I can't explain but, the gun can wait. Can we start here, with the blade?
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 2:22:55 AM)
Yes we will start with the blade, its my preffered form of combat myself, given I wielded a sword in the time of the war. *He smiled and moved his hand gently over hers* But first, you have more gifts to open.
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 2:23:49 AM)
*Remembering herself she nodded, sheathing the blade and laying it to the side as she turned towards the next gift.* You really -were- in the mood to play Santa Claus weren't you?
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 2:28:26 AM)
*He laughed lightly* I was indeed. *He moved and watched her open the next gift, larger still, though lighter than the last, and it was a bag, a black one, and with it were a pair of gloves that would fit her hands tightly, and a mask, and instead of the simple lock picks he had given her before, this came with a full set of professional lock picks*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 2:30:32 AM)
*Excitement began buzzing around her at the last gift and she poured through the contents of the bag looking at each individual object, touching everything as she tried to instantly familiarise herself with the case and it's contents.* When do we start? I mean I know I only got back but you've just reminded me on how behind I am, how many things I wanted to learn and we never managed to get to that house because.. *She grinned and stopped mid babble at that, a faint blush coming to her cheeks as she looked up at him.* Well nevermind, but the point is we never actually broke into it remember?
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 2:33:07 AM)
I know, not tonight, but perhaps tomorrow *He grinned at her blush and met her eyes, there was a slightly mischevious look in his eyes as he watched her with her gifts* Yes, we can start tomorrow. Tonight though, we enjoy the gifts and your return
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 2:34:32 AM)
*Releasing the back she smiled at him her head tilting to the side as she watched him in question.* Fly with me?
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 2:35:13 AM)
Not going to open the last one? An I will fly with you any time dear, anytime *He lifted up the last gift, holding it to her*
Sophie Willows (Jan 2, 2011 2:36:05 AM)
*The last gift having been missed she reaches for it curiously.* There's more? James this must have cost you a fortune! *Opening it she looks to the last gift.*
James Laurence (Jan 2, 2011 2:37:38 AM)
*He smiled and she saw an outfit identical to the one they had torn on the night they had been speaking of, and a gift card to a clothing store* It cost me abit, but my thralls have helped me with all this, so I had much to spend and I wanted to get you things.
