Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 1:02:53 AM)
(you wanna start?)

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 1:04:11 AM)
((Does Lina know you're coming over??))

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 1:04:33 AM)
(no :) ))

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 1:04:45 AM)
((Lmao okies!))

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 1:07:13 AM)
*curled up with a big grey tomcat on her sofa, a pile of papers and a couple oddly aged books spread over her coffee table and lap..though concentration is failing her. She's got a rattlesnake wound around her neck and shoulders to steal heat and she's wearing a cami and drawstring pj pants with a fleece hoodie to ward off the chill*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 1:11:33 AM)
*The air in the room seemed to grow a trifle cooler*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 1:13:55 AM)
*shivers, putting a book aside on a small end table with a small scribbled notebook resting on the open pages to hold her place. Reaching behind her..she dislodges the cat to tug a blanket off the back of her sofa and down onto her and the snake..the cat makes an irritable noise and then climbs back in her lap* Tchah... cold tonight..

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 1:14:51 AM)
*A cool breeze swirled around her now and in moments, Ru appeared before her in the living room*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 1:16:13 AM)
*jumps and drops her pen, pages scattering in the breeze* Rubi!! *one hand going to her chest as she takes a breath* Mary jo and the kid, where'd you come from?!

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 1:18:43 AM)
*Her black eyes moved over Lina slowly, taking her in not that they were int eh light and there was time uninterrupted to do so* Lina.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 1:21:55 AM)
Yes sugah, all my life.. *smiling a little and chuckling nervously as the adrenaline runs through her* ..Does Zaebos know you're here?.. *a bit thrown*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 1:23:58 AM)
(yes so sorry)

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 1:24:36 AM)
Yes sugah, all my life.. *smiling a little and chuckling as the adrenaline from her shock runs through her* ..Does Zaebos know you're here?.. *more than a bit thrown*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 1:27:40 AM)
*She nodded* I am still Ru, well sort of, and one of the few he trusts with you. He suggested that interaction with one such as you would help teh adjustment before venturing out in public. Besides...you are...Lina. *The words were a mix of unfamilar style and Ru, all jumbled together*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 1:30:29 AM)
*she pushes herself out of her blanket and sofa nest..dislodging the irritated feline again..who this time drops off the furniture and stalks out of the room to head upstairs. The snake shifts and holds on as she leans down and collects the pages she'd dropped.* Oo .. Due to some crazy shit going down, I wasn't able to visit Riko during her..transition.

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 1:31:34 AM)
Why not? *she bent down to help her gather up the papers*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 1:32:31 AM)
Zaebos was concerned I was in danger at the time. That someone would blame me for catching a girl with a big mouth who let it run away with her. ..And Rubi. *pausing to look to the other woman* I'm really not sure what you'll need. *admitting honestly* But if you want to talk and have a drink and get comfortable, you're in the right place. Would you like to have a beignet? *putting the pages aside and smiling to Ru*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 1:33:30 AM)
A drink woult be good. *She paused a moment* Lina?

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 1:36:03 AM)
*swings her feet down to the floor..fluffy white bunny slippers and all, but stops when Rubi calls her* ..What's up?

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 1:36:58 AM)
I know this is strange for you. I understand that, I mean, I have boobs. Talk about a switch. But Ru is still here. *It was clear that this was all sariel for the moment*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 1:40:06 AM)
*an unexpected laugh at his/her admission, she smiles* Yeah.. it's going to take me a little to figure things out as well. Riko changed a bit.. I'm betting you will too.

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 1:42:21 AM)
I have a problem too. I apparnetly live with a man. *she moved on towards the kitchen wehre the drinks would be made* And I was...well..what you consider male

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 1:45:12 AM)
*blinks at that, eyes wide* Oh no.. Poor Mac. *divots appearing in her brow sympathetically* Ru.. Sariel... I.. *winces* I don't usually use angel's names, but well..which would you prefer?

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 1:46:49 AM)
In private? Sariel....*she looked Lina up and down once more and took Lina's face in ehr hands* Thank you

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 1:52:09 AM)
*colors slightly at the closeness, dark eyes finding Ru's, she nods* Sariel then. I have no idea what to tell you about Mac and Rubi.. *wishing..she did*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 1:56:10 AM)
I wil adjust in time I am sure. Ru's urges wehre hs is concerned are very strong, as you likely have seen.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 1:57:57 AM)
*brighter cheeks at that, though she brings her hands up over Rubi's* It's not just urges, I'm sure. We're not animals, Sariel. *quietly, before lifting a brow* You want a margarita? *smiling a bit and tilting her head toward the kitchen*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 2:00:16 AM)
I know you are not. I gave up everything once for your kind. And now? You have worked to bring me back. I can tell what sort of emotions run through you, and now me. *Lina might notice how much more....correct Ru's diction is now, while Sariel was in teh driver's seat* And thank you, I would

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 2:04:07 AM)
*she smiles warmly at that* I hadn't realized .. that choice was something you'd all made. I'm even happier I was able to help. *closing her eyes briefly to lean her cheek into Ru's palm, before dropping her hands and starting toward the kitchen*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 2:07:06 AM)
*she stood looking at the hand Lina had pressed her cheek against. She lifted it up and sniffed it and smelling her scent there, closed her eyes. Sariel had no idea they smelled so wonderful, or perhaps he'd forgotten in all the millenia of nothingness. He was thrilled to be out but soemthign told him this life was far more complicated than his previous. *

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 2:07:23 AM)
(Her scent - Lina's)

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 2:09:13 AM)
*cinnamon and almonds..as well as sheer woman..for a scent. By virtue of her build, Lina tends to sashay when she's not in a hurry, and she turns on a radio softly in the kitchen while she mixes up a pitcher of margarita*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 2:11:05 AM)
*Ru materialized in the door to the kitchen* He thought my interaction would help me adjust. As such, it will be me tonight, not Ru, if you do not mind?

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 2:13:16 AM)
*a fast blast through the mixer and she removes the heavy glass pitcher, collecting a couple glasses to bring back with her, pouring as she walks with a practiced move, offering him/her the first full glass* That's really up to the two..? Two of you.. *not sure how it works, but she nods agreement with a softly wry smile* You're already sounding more coherent than when you first came in. *offering the encouragement honestly*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 2:14:56 AM)
Thank you. Perhaps you are a good influence. *He took a sip and pure rapture crossed Ru's face* INcredible.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 2:17:42 AM)
*smiles, pleased with the reaction, before turning to move back into the kitchen for a moment* If I recall.. I offered you a beignet. *getting one from under the glass dome'd plate and bringing the sugar-coated pastry to Ru*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 2:19:12 AM)
*She took it in hand and had a bite, laughing as the powedered sugard filtered down over her blouse* Even better. And we were afraid treasures were lost to you

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 2:23:18 AM)
*she laughs* Oh I don't know much about treasure.. but I do know my way round the kitchen. *smiling brightly and pouring her own 'rita, leaving the pitcher on a table nearby. She quiets, holding her glass in both hands before volunteering* I'll tell you..what I told Zaebos when he wanted to reward me for helping with Riko.. I really.. don't need it. I did what I wanted to do. I helped you..helped Him *with somewhat more emphasis, making no secret of her loyalties* .. It was the right thing to do. That's why I did it. I'm not looking for presents. *smiling softly*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 2:24:51 AM)
*Ru lowered the glass slowly* And if I choose to ignore that and give you soemthign anyway?

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 2:26:18 AM)
*she drops her gaze and chuckles* Then you can join the club with the rest. *shaking her head* I don't have a place telling you your business. Just..wanted to be clear where I was coming from.

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 2:27:26 AM)
You can tell me anything you want, Lina. * Ru paused a moemnt, looking a little surprised* You seem shy with me. Never were with Ru.

(gtrumbles, mine was the last I saw)

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 2:30:26 AM)
((Good, cuz I waited. lol WB!))

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 2:32:11 AM)
*she shakes her head* You still look like her, just like Riko looks the same. But I know I'm not talking to her right now. *soft smile* You even pointed it out, Sariel. And a little thing like me, has no business, telling an Angel what to do..or what not to do.

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 2:34:11 AM)
And if I ask you to? *She took another sip, then downed the margarita in a few short gulps. Setting the glass aside, Ru took hold of her free hand*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 2:35:14 AM)
*blinks at that, divots appearing in her brow* I suppose.. I'd ask why?

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 2:36:12 AM)
You have been here longer than me. *Ru's black eyes looked back at her and for an instant, shifted to a pale silvery grey, then back*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 2:39:17 AM)
Maybe here and now.. I have.. *blinks at the color shift, looking to the hand she's lost custody of* I don't think that we're talking about the same thing..anymore..

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 2:40:22 AM)
*COnfusion crept into her face now* Explain.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 2:43:33 AM)
I was more referring to your..angelic nature, putting you beyond my experiences.. Rather than strictly a matter of having been in the present for more than a few hours. Wouldn't be ..proper? In my mind..to go telling you your business, in any arena.

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 2:45:09 AM)
Perhaps not, but when I ask, I want an answer, an honest one.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 2:47:02 AM)
*she's having a little trouble putting her thoughts in cognizant order* That's honest. I'm rarely anything but..and then only in jext. Easier to remember the truth. *finally closing her fingers around Rubi's* And all you asked was why I was shy.. an that's why. It's a different ball game with you, Sariel.

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 2:48:31 AM)
Ru will need you, Lina. *Said softly* You are one of a very few she really trusts and feels close to.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 2:53:42 AM)
And she'll have me. I think.. *winces as that comes out oddly* I mean.. from what I've been able to dig up, what I've been doing isn't something angel's can do themselves. So there's a use for me in staying just as I am.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 2:55:50 AM)
*a wry smile at the end of it.. finding her 'rita and drinking deep*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 2:57:49 AM)
We can't. What you did is almsot impossible and unbelievably valuable. *her fingers tightened aroudn Lina's hand* It's goign to be an adjust for...all three of us. She knows you well, loves you. You are part of her life and as such, will be part of mine.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:02:11 AM)
..*on an impulse, she sets her margarita down and steps forward to hug Sariel tightly* Adjust all you need, I'll be here.

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:07:12 AM)
*He seemed a trifle surprised but then, slowly, arms wrapped around Lina, hugging her tight. Humans still, even millenia later, managed to surprise him. And the one that hosued him was perhaps the biggest one of all. Such raw emotion, and feelings. Then there was the antithesis of Ru, Lina, the soft one before him. The scent of cinnamon rose from her again and he closed his eyes* Incredible.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:09:12 AM)
*loosens her embrace to look up at Sariel curiously, voicing her question a second later* ..What is? *a warm smile lingering in her gaze, though it's little more than a ghost on her lips*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:11:36 AM)
You, your scent. this house, the food...all of it. I see why Ru thinks so much of you. So giving...and willing to help out even though you do not know me

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:17:29 AM)
*Lina reads like a book. If she has an ounce of dishonesty in her, it would only be used to hide a reaction that might hurt someone. The smile that brightens her expression again is simple and content* Ru's too kind. And that's not entirely true.. that I don't know you. *she chuckles a bit* I know at least a little..had to, to call you home. And I know that Zaebos needs you with him, so I've at least a dozen reasons to help you.

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:19:21 AM)
Ru is....different. *her eyes met Lina's* She lives by her own rules. You know that. So did I, which may be why Zaebos thought us a good fit. We both know death, have casued it, but it makes us appreciate life wehre we find it.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:24:57 AM)
Ru's rules may have been written by herself, but they benefit more than her alone. Her heart is in the right place, and that matters more to me than who's code she's following. *she smiles a bit* And to appreciate the life you have is a fine thing, in my opinion. One of her best qualities.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:25:21 AM)
And..yours, Sariel. Since you share that. *chuckling softly* It's good to know.

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:25:41 AM)
you didn;t lose her, you know that?

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:26:25 AM)
*she nods* I know. I'm just sharing. *she laughs a bit* I hope poor Mac can figure that out sooner rather than later.

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:28:02 AM)
*her long fingers dug into Lina's long hair and the sensation tickled him* Mac. Well, Ru will have to do the directing there, that sort of...activiity is not exactly....my usual.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:29:53 AM)
*her usually windblown mass of hair was brushed out for bed already, hanging cooperatively in twisting tendrils of silk for a change* You..have a usual?

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:30:19 AM)
*the thought clearly: Geez..you've been here two hours..*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:32:03 AM)
That is something more uniquely human, Lina.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:33:54 AM)
*color in her cheeks at that, she laughs at herself and Sariel's response in one* Oh.

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:35:43 AM)
*She cleared her throat* One I will apparently have to deal with....often. With...a man. Never let it be said Zaebos has no sense of humour

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:37:47 AM)
A? ..Ah.. You..haven't taken much of a look into Ru's ..employment.. Have you? *fighting a chuckle..really not wanting Sariel to be uncomfortable or in this..unenviable position..but he probably aught to know sooner.*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:38:45 AM)
what's that Lina? *His tone was wary now*

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:40:52 AM)
*she winces sympathetically* I'm sure she'll show you..

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:41:45 AM)
No hint?

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:43:35 AM)
To be honest, I caught only a bit of a hint from Rubi herself..and never asked for more specifics. It wasn't my business, and isn't still. But.. I believe it's sexual in nature, without being limited to ..only that.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:44:24 AM)
*one brow still in a wince, she's watching to see if Sariel's caught on*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:44:34 AM)
*She rolled her eyes and sighed* I am So going to kick his ass tomorrow. *But a smile played over full lips* Looks like I have some catching up to do.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:45:12 AM)
You ma just.. want to. *nodding* Yes.

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:46:11 AM)
*she pulled her hand away, letting Lina's long locks slip over her fingers slowly* I want to stay here tonight.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:48:28 AM)
*easily* Of course. *feeling a bit better now that the bad news is out of the way, she doesn't seem to mind the affectionate touch, comfortable despite the awkwardness of the entire situation* I can take my studies upstairs..too much in my head to sleep just yet, but I'll bring blankets for you.

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:50:50 AM)
I'll come with you. Just.....talk to me? About anything. You have no idea what it is like being in complete nothingness for eons, Lina. *her figner traced Lina's lips now* Words, any words.

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:55:21 AM)
*dawning realization, the implications horrifying to the social little witch* Oh.. *determination fast on its heels. For all that she claimed not to tell an angel their business, she catches hold of Ru's hand in both of hers and seems unwilling to accept any protest, leading her toward the stairs* I'm sorry, I had no idea. You can stay with me tonight.. I'll talk your ears off.

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:56:42 AM)
It's a deal. I want....everything. *Said softly as she followed her up*

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:56:55 AM)
(Good place to fade for sleep?)

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:57:24 AM)
((Oh yes please. lol I'm dead on my ass here. ^_^ Thank you for the RP, twas fun! lol))

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:57:34 AM)

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 3:59:01 AM)

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 3:59:09 AM)

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 4:00:04 AM)
(she's dropped into an interesting situation)

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 4:01:21 AM)
((Pssht. She's been dropped into more than a few. lol She ended up meeting Shin in the first place because he went IC with her PC roommate. Who..has since left the country. Her roomie's dog got her into all this. How sad is that??))

Rubina (Nov 19, 2010 4:03:05 AM)
(LOL Go sleeop)

Lina Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 4:04:28 AM)
((Oh lord yes. One thing. Ru will be there for Lina's nightly offering. She won't go to bed till she's left a pair of fresh eggs and a beignet on an altar in her bedroom's corner..with a driftwood serpent and a crystal goblet with a few candles on it. Whatever prayer she makes is a whisper. lol))
