Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 19, 2010 12:01:43 AM)
Shin lowered himself down from the tree now that Aurelia had gone. He continued to follow her in mind until she left the range of his uncanny observation. Even so, he didn't seem to be the least bit distracted as he returned to the bank, stretching his long body out across the grass, resting his head in his hand, his elbow planted in the earth. His golden gaze was focused directly at Riko's tree, a brow raised curiously. "An assassin, are we?"

Riko Nakamura (Oct 19, 2010 12:03:10 AM)
*she peeked around the edge of the tree and walked over the grasses towards him. her delicate hands clasped behind her back loosly as she approached, her dark eyes sparkling a little.* you are beautiful to watch.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 19, 2010 12:06:18 AM)
His curious stare remained leveled on her as she approached. At her compliment he would only grunt in quiet amusement, as if surprised she had noticed. Once she grew within a conversational distance his massive tail swung around, a thicker portion coming up behind her legs, bending her knees and forcing her to plop down on his spine. "You enjoy seeing the others of my kind being scolded and set on their paths?"

Riko Nakamura (Oct 19, 2010 12:08:55 AM)
*she didnt so much as fight it, she sank down and sat right there, her hands neetly fold in her lap* no. I enjoy getting to spend time with you. * she paused and thought about that for a moment* which perhaps seemse... selfish?

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 19, 2010 12:11:38 AM)
His color softened, muted, until the moonlight no longer reflected off of it in a glow. Instead, while still white, it seemed more real, more tangible. The ghostly ethereal aura dispersed. With her seated his tail lifted her up and gently drew closer until she sat only a few steps away from him. "You have devoted your entire existance to me and yet you view yourself as seflish?"

Riko Nakamura (Oct 19, 2010 12:14:12 AM)
*she actually blushed a little as he drew her close, she didn't wabble or gasp, her hand coming down to rest on the smooth scales she sat on, but the amount of trust was pretty obvious when she didnt even tense as he moved her. she kept her gaze focused on her lap for the moment* you have given me much. it is my pleasure and honnor to serve you. Though I can not help but covit my time alone with you a little.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 19, 2010 12:18:13 AM)
Again he grunted with amusement, a sentiment echoed in his golden yellow eyes. One of his hands rose to drape his long snow white hair over a slender horn with a practiced flick of his wrist. "I find great peace in our time together as well. You, your brother, those like you give me hope for the children of Adam that I have not known in a very long time."

Riko Nakamura (Oct 19, 2010 12:21:15 AM)
*she smiled a little as she lifted her eyes up to his face and canted her head to the side.* May I ask what you are making here? * her eyes moving to the wall he was creating, her voice still slightly tentitive, but she was slowly learning to relax*

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 19, 2010 12:25:02 AM)
That small private smile sparkled within his eyes and he nodded to her, the small chains dancing musicly, though they made not a sound within human range. He rose up from his lounging posture on the ground, turning to face the lake and the large stone wall. His spine flexed beneath her and she rose up into the air beside him, nearly to eye level. "It will be a place I leave tame. One where you and the others might find safety or bring offering. It will be a holy place, blessed by my children and off limits to the other fallen. I meet them here now, so they might know it, and know what to avoid when the time comes."

Riko Nakamura (Oct 19, 2010 12:28:42 AM)
*her other hand came down on the other side of her slender hip, her fingers resting lightly on his scales as she came up her posture perfect, though she never seemed to tense seemingly relaxed compleatly in his grip, her eyes going over the wall. Her voice very soft, and just gently curious* will... well you tell me what it will look like?

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 19, 2010 12:33:03 AM)
His length slid sidelong across the ground in a great arch to propel him while keeping her steadily aloft at his side. He moved up to the very edge of the lake, the bank erroded from water damage and deforestation, the water itself murky and soiled. "I will create life to clean the waters, thick beds of moss to carpet the grounds. The trees will bloom through out the year and steam will rise up from the lake. I will decorate the walls with your offerings and sacrifice."

Riko Nakamura (Oct 19, 2010 12:36:58 AM)
*she smiles sweetly and reaches up to tuck a strand of her dark hair behind her ear.*w* it sounds absolutly beautiful. * Her eyes wandering over all the places that he points out. * how long will it take to finish?

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 19, 2010 12:39:12 AM)
"A few weeks", he said simply. He began to allow his body to coil beneath him, his tail slipping out to move her effortlessly as his body writhed into posiition. Once settled he lowered down, propping his elbows on his spine as he brought her down beside him. "Perhaps a little longer, but not much. I must remember more of what I once was, but it comes to me daily...."

Riko Nakamura (Oct 19, 2010 12:44:52 AM)
*she settled simply and curled up and relaxed, watching him with those dark deep brown eyes. * It was wonderful, for you to meet me last night. you are very kind to me. Thank you.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 19, 2010 12:46:37 AM)
He slid back a bit, his large hand reaching out to rest atop her head, his fingers sliding through her silken hair. Again the private smile would sparkle in his eyes as he gazed down at her. "You made me very proud, Riko. You do not have to thank me for rewards you have earned."

Riko Nakamura (Oct 19, 2010 12:49:43 AM)
*her delicate warm hand came up, her fingertips brushing across his upper arm, though only tentitvly, she still didnt reach out always for his touch, waiting insted for him to reach out for her. For her to do so now was proof that she was beginning to slowly settle* yes, but still it ws dear to me, and a precious thing. though it was a reward, I am still very greatful.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 19, 2010 12:54:37 AM)
His hand gently slid down to the side of her face, his thumb brushing lightly across her cheek. His large golden eyes drank her in as he stared down at her, the slitted pupils dialating as he focused. There was a certain warmth to him that she had not seen before, as if the agressive encounter with the other demon had drained him of his will for violence. "I hope there is more to come. But I must warn you child, some of the nights to come will be very dark. I will shed blood to ensure order and destroy chaos. You must be wary from now on, my enemies may target you to get to me..."

Riko Nakamura (Oct 19, 2010 12:57:32 AM)
*she gently turned her cheek in to his touch, gently nuzzling her soft skin in to his palm as her large eyes focused on his face. She started to say something then seemed to pause, as if she weren't sure how to state her question. * May I... may I ask if it would be easier to have me closer?

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 19, 2010 12:59:42 AM)
A brow arched curiously in response to that, thoughts of her sleeping on a bed of moss or leaves as he did coming to mind. It was rediculous. He shook his head slighty as if clearing the thoughts before speaking. "What do you mean?"

Riko Nakamura (Oct 19, 2010 1:01:39 AM)
*she shifted a little on her perch and took a deep breath* there are some old cabins that are near the swamp, They... they're run down, and would need a little renivation, if you would be willing to allow me. I could fix one and move my home there. I could be closer, safter, and still run my shop from the studio.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 19, 2010 1:04:58 AM)
He nodded slightly, that made much more sense of course. Still he considered the idea for several long moments before responding, the quiet smile on his tone if not his lips. "I believe that would be best. I would have you closer if it is a possibility. If my aid will help you do so, ask and you will recieve it."

Riko Nakamura (Oct 19, 2010 1:10:03 AM)
*she lifted those eyes up again, and her smile, was luminecent. she could give many of the fallen in the city a run for their money with that smile. A few strands of her thick hair tumbling around her sweet face. But that simile... it was a smile that would bring back so many memories, it was the same smile she'd given Shinjo when they had first met. It was more rare then her laugh* Then I will begin working on it. Would you like to help pick where it is located. Or should I choose something?

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 19, 2010 1:14:20 AM)
He admired her quietly even as she spoke, as if the question simply passed him by. Even though Shinjo himself had no sway over Zaebos while he wore his natural form, his memories were still there. Leaning down he placed his pale lips against her own, his unnaturally warm skin almost hot in the cool night air. It was brief, soft, but it was real. He rose back up once more and smiled down into her eyes, though even now, his lips did not move but to speak. "Choose a place as close to hear as you can, while still meeting any necessary criteria of your own. Other than that, I am not concerned."

Riko Nakamura (Oct 19, 2010 1:17:07 AM)
*her eyes slowly closed as his lips feathered her own and she melted just a little, relaxing even more. when her eyes opened she nodded slowly, that smile was still there, though a little softer, no less spectacular* w* I will do my best to find one of the older cabins.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 19, 2010 1:20:36 AM)
He nodded slightly, the small chains set to dancing over his brow from his horns. Once more he lowered his torso back down to settle against his coiled body beside her, resting his elbows against his spine. "So long as it is within a few miles of this place, it will be fine. For now my reach does not go much further than that I am afraid and it will be some time before I regain enough of my strength to touch the entire region."

Riko Nakamura (Oct 19, 2010 1:27:02 AM)
*she nodded slowly and reached out, her fingertips touching his arm again. * I will start looking tomorrow. It shouldnt take to long, I know there are many places that are empty now.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 19, 2010 1:31:15 AM)
His arm felt like heated silk stretched across muscles carved from stone, soft yet utterly unyielding. He did not flinch nor draw back from her touch, instead he leaned into it, encouraging her to have no fear of him that was unwarrented. "Yes. The great storm emptied many homes that were never refilled. Call to me as soon as you have made your decision and I will come inspect it at your side."
