::Kaia's house was dark, but there were lights on in the forge, and the steady *bang...bang...bang* as she worked. The wide sliding doors fully open, letting some fresh air into the place, as she worked. Her Jeep was in the driveway, already having been out this morning::

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:05:37 AM)
*sitting on a bench in the forge, Lukas' work is a pencil and a sketchpad for a change, he's wearing a pair of carpenter jeans and a tee with his unlaced sneakers..the leather gloves and apron left aside for the time being.*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:08:30 AM)
::she gives up for the moment, and puts the hunk of metal into the water, letting it sizzle, and she moves over to the table, peering over her phone. She punched in a few buttons, chest heaving a bit, before she moved to the mini-fridge for some water. Leaning against the counter, she just stared out one of the windows, while she chugged::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 11:10:16 AM)
*Mark comes walking down the street, he's wearing his running clothes, he has his headphones in and is listening to something... he slows as he approaches her house looking at the vechicles there he checks his phone for a reply just as one comes in he was already turning back up the street and checks as a second message comes in and starts running again away from the house after a short reply*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:10:42 AM)
So did you actually manage to sleep last night, or work straight through again? *glancing up from his sketchpad, his hat missing for once, still sitting in the truck out front that Mark just jogged past*

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 11:11:13 AM)
(how's he sitting in the truck and talking to kaia?)

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:11:21 AM)
((His hat is in the truck))

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 11:11:38 AM)
(oh lol)

(( ^_^ ))

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:13:25 AM)
::the shelves of "finished" products were almost overflowing, a few empty boxes were piled around, and some of the little packing peanuts she used were whirling around in a little wind on the ground. She answered after draining the bottle dry and tossing it into the recycling bin, which was also overflowing:: I slept some. ::said quietly, face was streaked with sweat as she cooled down. Her hair was in a very tight, smooth braid, almost rope-like as it coiled down. A pair of old jeans, full of holes, a tank top, and her large protective jacket currently draped over a chair, with her arm-length gloves::

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:14:45 AM)
(er, she's wearing all but the jacket and gloves..)

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:16:07 AM)
(and boots, she's not stupid enough to be barefoot in the forge)

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:17:38 AM)
::hearing her phone, she hopped off the counter she was sitting on and glances to it:: Would you like a cup of coffee?

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:19:39 AM)
*rubs his knuckles over the stubble on his cheek idly, nodding* Yeah sure, *tucking the squareish pencil he's using into the rings of the sketchbook and standing* Coffee doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:20:14 AM)
::she nods:: Do you take it dark and bitter, or blonde and bitter, or blonde and sweet? ::peering over her phone, squinting a bit at it::

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:21:06 AM)
Or dark and sweet? ::glancing up to him;:

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:21:30 AM)
Blonde and sweet, but only a little.. *smirking* I have never heard it referred to like that.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:22:29 AM)
::she smiles, flicking a brow, while txting, looking at the phone, instead of him while she types:: Like you like your women? A friend at home used to say he liked it dark and sweet, like he liked his women.

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:23:07 AM)
Nah. I'm not as picky about my women.. *laughs*

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 11:23:42 AM)
*Mark returns to the street after a little bit carrying a drink tray with 2 Iced Latte's, and a Large coffe with cream and sugar... his headphones are draped over his shoulder when he knocks on the front door... he keeps looking at the truck wondering why Lukas was over here so early but just shrugs while waiting for someone to answer the door*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:23:53 AM)
::she shakes her head, smirking:: I should have guessed. ::putting the phone down::

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:24:07 AM)
(Mark, the house is dark, but you can see lights on in the forge, and the forge doors are wide open)

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:25:00 AM)
((It's 10:30 in NOLA))

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:25:13 AM)
(... I meant no lights on inside...)

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:25:36 AM)
((I was just pointing it out to the guy who thought Lukas was here early! lol))

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 11:25:49 AM)
*Grumbling he walks around the side of the house down the driveway towards the forge in the back... he's putting the headphones away as he walks tucking them into his pocket... he comes around where he can see inside to the pair*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:27:26 AM)
::hopping back onto her counter, one boot heel on the counter, her knee up, pulled to her chest as she leaned against the window behind her. The forge is on and running hot, the room as hot as though it were 4pm on a regular day::

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:28:06 AM)
*gives Mark a half-smile as he sees the drinks* I didn't realize you had a coffeehouse that delivered. *bemusedly to Kaia* Hey Mark, thanks. I owe ya a couple bucks.

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 11:29:36 AM)
*shakes his head* I am sure you will get return the favor at some point. *walking over and giving Lukas the coffee and then the Latte to Kaia looking at the forge and frowns at the heat it's putting off already... which doesn't feel that bad to him in his running shorts and t-shirt.*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:31:07 AM)
::she looks up, seeing Mark and giving a half-smile:: Where did you go for them? Thank you... ::accepting her iced latte, she wasted no time in sucking down about half of the drink, only stopping for air afterwards::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 11:31:57 AM)
*shrugs* Some place down the road was already pretty close so didn't take me long to get there.

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:32:41 AM)
.. *watching Kaia suck her coffee down, sipping his own* Since when..do you drink coffee?

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:35:23 AM)
::she nods and smiles again, sliding off the counter:: Did you want a turn, Lukas? ::nodding to the forge, she flicked a brow:: I was in the mood for some.. ::said, with a faintly peevish tone to her voice and she looked around:: I'll be right back, I have a conference call with the gallery ... won't take long... ::moving towards the house with long strides. She's done with her latte before she hits the steps:: (I have a phone appt with my doctor at 9... they just called now, brb)

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:36:17 AM)
($10 says Cipro and vicodin)

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 11:37:17 AM)
*looks at her as she leaves the forge for her confrence call he moves and puts the other Iced Latte in the fridge and looks back at the shelved and the forge.. then looking at Lukas* She's been out here for a while already this morning.

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:38:21 AM)
*sets the notebook beside him, black gaze studying her as she hightails it out via caffeine* I see.. *to Kaia, looking to Mark* She's been out here most of last night and this morning as well. She's avoiding sleep again. And not just..recently. *with a glance at the shelves*

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 11:43:52 AM)
*shakes his head* Yeah I noticed it too, tried talking to her about and she just keeps avoiding it when I try to talk to her about it saying she's fine. Don't think all the talk about banes helped with her not wanting to sleep but she said Anna cleared her this morning and so maybe she will get some sleep...

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 11:44:13 AM)
(sorry got interupted repeatedly by my partner wanting to talk)

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:49:00 AM)
.. Anna cleared her? *quirks a brow* Strange, Anna didn't mention that. *glancing back at the house* She's getting too worked up about this shit. Again. *shakes his head and moves to the wall where his own small pile of materials and a few projects in the workings remain..mostly small, but the piece he pulls and sets into tongs to go in the fire..is a blade in progress*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:50:14 AM)
((No worries, kids here occasionally interrupting too))

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 11:51:12 AM)
*shrugs* That's what she texted me that she was cleared. I'm worried that she's over doing it, she hasn't been sleeping much for at least a week now that I know of. Then the last couple of times we were at the sept together she gets this far off glazed look and gets dizzy I don't know what that's about but it's happened twice now and I can't figure out why, it's something new though.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:54:10 AM)
(back... )

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 11:54:24 AM)
(that was a fast doctors apointment)

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:54:30 AM)
((Over the phone))

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:55:13 AM)
(yeah, phone appointment)

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 11:56:22 AM)
(ah)

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:57:02 AM)
*nods his agreement.. watching the heating blade idly as he ties his own leather apron on over his tee and jeans..and pulls on the somewhat fitted leather gloves that reach up to fan over his shoulders somewhat* ..a glazed look like she's in a packlink?... *his brows furrowing faintly as he looks back at Mark*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 11:57:38 AM)
Only worse? *as something seems to click*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 11:58:12 AM)
::the front door slammed shut, and Kaia came back out, a Coke in hand. She stopped walking to txt something as she chewed her bottom lip::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 11:59:44 AM)
*He tilts his head thinking about it for a minute* While Packlink is slightly distracting I wouldn't say I get a glazed over look staring in the distrace and then dizzy... I would think it was something worse then that but I don't know enough...

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 12:01:41 PM)
Seems we'll find out in a moment.. *noting the slam and shaking his head, picking up the tongs and removing the glowing orange dagger from the fire*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:02:54 PM)
::makes her way to the forge, stopping at the shelves and looking them over, before she stands back, taking a picture and tapping a few more keys, managing to set her Coke down on the long table first::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 12:04:06 PM)
*Nods his head and looks at Kaia as she returns to the forge*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:05:43 PM)
::she seems to have managed to wash her face while inside, the rest of her was looking like she'd been working::

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 12:09:40 PM)
*looks up as the picture's taken, bringing the knife blade to the anvil and watching as he pulls the hammer from the loop on his slacks* Kaia.. Mark says you've been dizzy and distracted at the sept lately. Any chance there was something more to your questioning about pack links than you've said so far? *punctuating it with a strike to the hot steel*

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 12:10:36 PM)
*clarifys* More then distracted... her eyes actually glazed over right while I was talking to her.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:13:25 PM)
::Kaia looks up immediately, the movement a little jerky, and she had the look and mannerisms of a trapped animal. She shifted on her feet, frowning a bit as she glanced between the two of them... nooooot answering right away::

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:15:55 PM)
(::eyes the room list, smirks::)

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 12:16:09 PM)
*offers Kaia a reassuring look but she can see he's worried about her*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 12:16:37 PM)
*tightly* I'll take that as a yes. *he pulls the blade out from under his strike, as despite the fact that there is almost nothing of the moon out, the flash of his temper drives the blow into the anvil with murderous intent, letting the hammer hit the anvil brutally instead*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 12:21:44 PM)
*It's a long moment.. but he releases his grip on the tongs to leave the glowing metal blade resting on the anvil and tosses his hammer to a wooden bench nearby..out of his reach..putting space between himself and the potential weapons and just.. breathing. He drags a gloved hand down his face*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:21:57 PM)
::she winced just slightly, and she remained at the open door, not moving, yet. The anvil was undamaged, the large chunk of metal was rather impervious to such.. Kaia having done the same more than once before... she just watches Lukas for now::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 12:23:18 PM)
*Watches the two having already taken a few steps to be able to intercept the Ahroun if needed but he watches both fo them.*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:24:54 PM)
::weapons -galore- near him though, with all her tools neatly hanging... lol::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 12:25:14 PM)
I am guessing by your reaction that you already have an idea what it is.. and it's not good so why don't we take a minute calm ourselves and talk about it?

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 12:25:25 PM)
((Shh! lol They weren't already in his hands..and in a frenzy he wouldn't be picking up new ones))

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:26:04 PM)
(I feel so much better that the raging, claw-y, drooly, and fang-y -Ahroun- doesn't need weapons... yes. Better.)

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 12:26:17 PM)
(haha)

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 12:26:23 PM)
((I don't drool!))

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 12:26:32 PM)
((Much..))

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:26:35 PM)
(slathering? foaming?)

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 12:26:42 PM)
((*haates you* lol))

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 12:26:45 PM)
(hey you have a little something on your chin_

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 12:26:46 PM)
)

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:26:51 PM)
(grins. It's wub)

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 12:27:00 PM)
((Haaaaate.))

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:27:05 PM)
(Wuuuuuub)

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:27:19 PM)
('sides, I'm home today. It's definitely wub)

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:28:44 PM)
::Kaia appears to be mentally warning herself -not- to run..... staaaaay... staaaaaay::

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 12:30:16 PM)
Yeah.. I already know what it is. *a little rough, but controlled* And I gather you don't. Which makes me curious if Kaia wants it to continue.

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 12:30:52 PM)
*looks at Kaia for an explination since he seems to be the ONLY one who doesn't know what's going on*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:31:12 PM)
::her face flushed and she eyed Lukas, eyes narrowing:: I didn't ask for it. ::her voice heated, a first flash of emotion this morning, unsurprising, that it's anger!::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 12:32:37 PM)
*Looks at Lukas* Okay will someone please explain to me what it is that's going on? Obviously you both know what it is.

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 12:36:52 PM)
*still has his back to the room, but at Kaia's flash of anger he turns, something faintly less of a reaction this time..but he's clearly not out of the woods and her outburst only fanned the flames, his jaw is set tight, black gaze vicious on his ward in an unintended warning*

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 12:39:40 PM)
*Takes the last few steps to stand between the two subconsciously knowing Lukas wouldn't attack his ward but still not taking a chance if the Ahroun was getting this heated under the no-moon*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:39:52 PM)
::aaaand while she's still angry, she takes a step back, standing -in- the doorway.. rather than just next to it, her face manages to be allllllmost neutral again::

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 12:40:02 PM)
Kaia asked me last night whether packlinks were accompanied with visions. *grating the words out, the menace fading from his eyes to be replaced with frustration and disappointment..though not necessarily at her or Mark, he nods lightly to Mark's action, accepting it for the moment*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:40:39 PM)
::Kaia's eyes glanced to Lukas, and she took a step to the side, not letting Lukas' line of sight of her be blocked completely::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 12:43:59 PM)
*shakes his head* Packlink is just the ability to talk, there really isn't any visions that go with it... *looking over his shoulder at Kaia* And what did you mean you didn't ask for it?

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:45:48 PM)
Exactly that, Mark. ::said quietly:: I didn't.

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 12:45:53 PM)
Technically, this should be between my ward and I, but given the circumstances.. Perhaps Kaia would like to tell you herself. *reaching to grab a solid hold on Mark's wrist*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 12:46:20 PM)
*confirmation that Mark isn't going to like this, and Lukas knows it*

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 12:47:38 PM)
*He looks at Kaia and then down to his Wrist and back up to Lukas with a Rasised eye, not a take your hand off me look but a what is about to happen that you need to restrain me look*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:53:34 PM)
::Kaia watches Lukas, and she pales slightly.... looking incredibly unenthusiastic about this... like.. this is the -last- thing she wanted to do this morning. She stood up straight though after a moment, her shoulders square. If she was doing this... then she was going to look him straight in the eyes and do it. Not without some trepidation. She breathed out:: It's happened twice now. You've been there... both times. Keening has some... thing he does, I guess like a pack link. Only it's a place, not just speaking in my mind. Or his mind... I'm... not .. really sure. And he can talk to me there...and I can talk to him. We're standing somewhere... it was a field once.. and a snowstorm, yesterday...

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 12:55:42 PM)
*already having all the information, between Kaia, Mark and Keening himself.. he's firmly in control of himself, concentrating on Mark for the first sign that the other ahroun..-isn't-*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 12:56:59 PM)
The first time, he discussed his ... emotions. The second time, yesterday, he showed me what he looks like in the Umbra. ::she was also watching Mark::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:00:04 PM)
*Mark tenses up his anger showing easily... she can tell he's not about to Frenzy but he's throughly pissed as he looks at her and then to Lukas and the hand restraining him* (1 suxx on rage) *He gives Lukas a nod of thanks for keeping the grip* I need a minute *he gives Kaia a look that says you should have told me this before as he walks off... pissed*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 1:00:25 PM)
*releases Mark with a nod* While I was there? *his brows furrowing, wondering how the hell he missed that*

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:00:43 PM)
No while I was there standing right in front of her and SHE didn't tell me.

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:01:07 PM)
*he walks off to go stand on teh other side of the driveway leaning against her Jeep*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 1:01:07 PM)
... *looking to Kaia* He waited till I left?

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 1:01:48 PM)
::Kaia stepped to the side, out of Mark's way, not even remotely blocking his exit, she looks a bit pained at that:: Because you would've killed him! ::she winced as Lukas spoke again, but she nodded:: Right... after you left.

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:02:53 PM)
*looks back at Kaia as she says that* NO I would have beat the ever loving shit out of him and told him if he ever did it again I would kill him... NOW I am gonna kill him

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 1:03:02 PM)
*his gaze narrows dangerously* Which only tells me he knows I would disapprove.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 1:03:52 PM)
::she looks in front of her, at her angry guardian, and behind her, at her angry boyfriend, realizing she was in a really, -really- BAD spot. Sooooooooooooo bad::

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 1:05:29 PM)
Kaia.. *keeping a tight rein for the moment* What did he tell you about using this gift?

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:08:38 PM)
*Mark stayed put for the moment on the other side of the vehicles putting something between them... he was pissed and was trying to calm down though he still looked like he was going to kill Keening*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 1:09:09 PM)
::she winces again, standing at her doorway, having no idea exactly -where- "safe" was right now:: The first time, he explained it was somewhere to speak privately, and he was discussing his emotions. I... told him what I told you. That his prior comments had ruined that option. ::opting to not discuss -that- conversation again::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:15:35 PM)
*Mark walks over and punches her tree a few times expending his anger physically right now... he was listening but making sure that he wasn't gonna get more pissed off*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 1:15:35 PM)
*walking steadily toward Kaia and dropping his voice to spare Mark the next question* Kaia, I know the gift he's using. He obviously didn't want me to see him using it, what is it he doesn't want me to know about, Kaia?

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 1:18:48 PM)
::pales even more as she sees him approaching her, but she manages to stay in her spot, her implicit trust remaining in place, and she lowers her voice to almost nothing:: He... he regrets what he said, and he said he was lying when he said it. That he was trying to fool himself and hurt me on purpose. He said that he realized that one time that you interrupted... during his moon. He... he thinks he... he thinks he loves me. ::she shook her head a little::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:20:06 PM)
*Stops hitting the tree to look at the pair wondering what is so secret NOW that they need to talk quietly*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 1:21:33 PM)
*black gaze steady at this point, whatever the wording, he's not surprised by the information* Then he hasn't taken advantage of the privacy his fantasy world offers?

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 1:23:12 PM)
::she pauses and then looks to him, in the eyes, still speaking very quietly:: He put his arms around me once, hugged me, touched my hair, and kissed my forehead. I did not reciprocate.

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:24:58 PM)
*Letting Guardian and Ward talk privately now that he wasn't so pissed him might beat the first person he crossed on the street he turned and walked down teh driveway taking out his phone doing something with it and putting it back in his pocket*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 1:26:08 PM)
I didn't expect you would. *shaking his head, and the curious Mark would see resigned disappointment in his gaze* You can resist his attempts to draw you to that vision..I'll talk to Anna about the particulars..but for now, tell him out loud to knock it off if he tries it again. It's no different than taking you for a walk alone with him and I've already made my position on that clear.

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:26:16 PM)
*looking at his bloody knuckles he wiped them off on the inside of his shirt and started for home*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 1:27:53 PM)
::she nods to Lukas, her eyes glancing to Mark, frowning::

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 1:28:40 PM)
*glancing over to see Mark's moving off* Call your boyfriend back.. *a final dark glance her way* And text me with whatever it is you're not telling me, if you decide later that full-disclosure is something you're still comfortable with. *stripping the heavy gloves and apron off as he walks toward his truck*

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:30:42 PM)
*Mark does what he does when he's pissed... he goes for a run... he picked a direction and he just went that way... he didn't set a slow pace either letting it draw his anger, and hurt out with each passing step...*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 1:31:12 PM)
::she frowns:: I am just pretty sure that it was only a matter of time before he attempted to pursue more inside there. He was telling me he wants me... to take me on as mate, regardless of the issues. I told him it wasn't happening, for the myriad of reasons. ::she nods and rather than yell down the road, she started to jog for Mark instead, using the caffeine she'd taken to give her an extra burst of energy to catch up::

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 1:32:57 PM)
*looks back to hear the last, he hadn't expected her to come out with it right then.. he nods and gets in the truck afterward*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 1:33:04 PM)
Mark! ::managing to call out, knowing she wouldn't keep up for longer::

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 1:35:45 PM)
*and drives the way Mark headed, cutting the other ahroun off at the next cross-street* Mark. Go make this right with her, when you can. And don't look for Keening Sorrow, you haven't got the law on your side. *a quiet reminder*

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:37:52 PM)
*He wasn't listening... letting everything just wash over him, the sound of the city during lunch time... the traffic, honking horns, sirens... it all just washed over him as he ran... coming to an abrupt stop when Lukas cut infront of him.. he was breathing hard while he listened to the Ahroun* I won't look for him... I was gonna go for a run... give me time to cool off.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 1:39:31 PM)
::Kaia stopped, not dressed for it, and already running waaay past 'empty', she breathed out, realizing she left the forge running, she swears softly in Icelandic. A glance in Mark and Lukas' direction, and she ran back::

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 1:39:33 PM)
*nods and throws the truck in reverse, clearing the path* She's chasing you. *before he drops it into gear again and pulls away*

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:40:52 PM)
*Turning around and looking back down the road.. seeing her turn away from them and head back home he looked back the way he was going originally debating on which he was going to take.*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 1:41:01 PM)
::she was half-expecting to see flames going up as she walked back, it would be in theme with today::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:42:39 PM)
*Shaking his head he started to slowly walk back to Kaia's giving himself time to finish cooling off before he got back there..*

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:45:28 PM)
*Walking back around the side of the house and down the driveway he looked in the forge for Kaia*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 1:47:02 PM)
::she shut off the forge, leaving the fan still going, so the room can cool down. She was moving Lukas' tools and his project to "safety". Once things were moderately cleaned up... she looked around, her gaze narrowing on a chunk of scrap metal, and her face just twisted, absolutely enraged, as she kicked it viciously::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:50:18 PM)
*Stands there in the driveway watching her for a few minutes while she turned off the forge and was tidying up.. he turned and started heading back towards the street after seeing her kick the scrap metal and figuing she needed to cool off too if they talked now who knows what would happen.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 1:52:52 PM)
::she seemed to get what she needed out of that one good solid kick, and she glanced around. Seeing Mark moving off again... her eyes were liquid pools of bright green. She shook her head and she moved for her table, it was long and mostly empty. She lay down on it, as she'd been doing so frequently the past two weeks, staring at the skylights, blankly::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 1:55:24 PM)
*he turned the corner from her drive with one last look back at the forge, he lowered his head as he started to walk home, he just didn't have it in him to run anymore*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 1:56:07 PM)
::he can see her lying on the table, through the doors, motionless from this distance::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 2:00:36 PM)
*He made it to the end of her block and sat down on an empty bus bench... his hands were still bleeding a bit from punching the tree.. he began to pick the bark out and throw it on the ground..*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 2:03:48 PM)
::it's damn quiet in her neighbor, a chill wind going through it, and the doors were still open, the warm air was slowly moving outside::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 2:04:58 PM)
*Sitting there for about 15 minutes and after the second bus stopping and looking at him and he not getting on he looked up and then back down the street towards Kaia's house... he stood and started walking that way.*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 2:05:39 PM)
neighborhood*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 2:06:49 PM)
::neighbors all seemed to be at work, no cars in driveways, nobody out washing their cars. It was a cold day in NO, and he could see one reason why Kaia liked her forge lately;:

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 2:07:52 PM)
*Moving down the driveway and standing in the doorway of the forge he just looked at her not saying anything just watched her*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 2:11:05 PM)
;:she was lying on her table still, one heel up, her knee bent. She was motionless for now, lying on her back. Her braid was over the table, draped over the side, the ends were blowing as the wind went into the forge, cooling down the room quickly. He could see the top of her head clearly, the rest of her was somewhat hidden from view::

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 2:12:12 PM)
(her face was hidden, as she's facing the opposite way. he can see her body just fine)

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 2:12:38 PM)
*Leaned down and picked up the piece of scrap metal she kicked and looked at her* Do you want to talk to me now?

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 2:16:30 PM)
::she jumped, having been lost in her own thoughts, half-rolling over, and going too far, as she went right off the table, slamming facedown on her hands as she landed with a soft 'oof'... she groaned a moment later, rolling over, and just nodded to his question

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 2:18:59 PM)
*He just where he was, holding the scrap metal and watching her... his face still pained and not even a normal trace of humor in scaring her*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 2:20:29 PM)
::she sat up after a moment, rubbing the bottoms of her arms, and breathing out, she reached, gripping the table and pulling herself up slowly, her eyes looked to his, watching his eyes for a moment::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 2:22:39 PM)
*Mark stood there he was already emotionally drained and just stood there looking at her.. his eyes reflected the hurt she caused but other then rolling the scrap metal in his hands and bleeding on the floor he didn't do anything giving her time to come up with some sort of explination or excuse.*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 2:26:07 PM)
::frowning at the blood, she looked to his eyes. Shoulders squared again. If she was going to do this... it was going to be all the way.:: I didn't want things to get worse... between you two. I wanted to just... tell Lukas... so he could deal with it. I didn't want to upset you.

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 2:49:43 PM)
*Listened impassively while she explained herself... * So you would rather it come between us then between me and him? You didn't trust me enough to tell me the truth... I asked you about this after it happened each time and you said it was nothing that you were just tired.. I took what you said as the truth. *sets the scrap metal down on the floor and folds his arms across his chest*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 3:01:14 PM)
::she frowned, looking to him:: No... I was hoping to avoid it coming between us. ::she shook her head:: No. It wasn't a matter of trust. I didn't want you to get upset... you always just... bristle around him and I didn't want to make it worse. I knew it would upset you even more... and I didn't want it to. I wanted to have Lukas deal with it, as he is supposed to. And I -was- tired... if I was feeling myself, I wouldn't have looked so affected. ::she shakes her head again, fingers tentatively poking at her chin, slightly scraped and already bruising slightly. ::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 3:08:17 PM)
Yeah it would upset me, but you could have told me away from him that this was happening, You told me about your walk with him and how Lukas told him he wasn't allowed to be alone with you, but he went and did the exact thing by forcing you into a vision where he could talk to you. I don't want this to come between us but we need to be honest with each other from now on, no more secrets Kaia.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 3:21:48 PM)
::she sighs out, nodding:: I know I told you about that... and you about flipped out that time. I didn't want it to get worse.. ::she watched him, quietly for a moment:: But it just keeps getting worse. I've already said no... several times. If he can't respect it.. I will end the friendship. ::she shakes her head, sighing out just a bit, fighting out emotions::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 3:35:23 PM)
*he remained in the same position the entire time she could almost think him a statue he watched her* He's your friend he NEEDS to respect your decision or he's not really your friend. I might have a bit of a temper on me Kaia but I have always calmed down quickly or managed to control my anger well enough. *she could see in his eyes he was still hurt by her but he wasn't angry any longer... * I don't want this to come between you and me, I care about you too much to let this ruin what you and I have worked hard to make here. *finally taking a step forward and lifting her chin to look at him* But no more secrets okay...*said softly and he looked at her*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 3:41:39 PM)
::she watches him, despite her obvious trepidation all morning, she still met both him and Lukas on her feet, no cowering, and no backpedalling. Her temper almost seemed to match theirs at times. Her eyes were way too bright, red-rimmed, the green so vivid it was almost irridescent. He could see the stress she was under, and the cracks in her usual chill demeanor were starting to widen. She did wince as he touched her scraped and bruised chin, but she didn't move away from him, nodding to his request. Her hands moved up, slowly, giving him a chance to move away if he wanted, moving to slide around his sides, her touch careful::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 3:44:28 PM)
*he wrapped her in a hug pulling her against his chest and he held her there letting her know it was going to be okay... that they were going to be okay... he didn't say anything he just held her.. his hand moved up to caress her hair and hold her head against his shoulder*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 3:48:17 PM)
::her braid was tight, thick as a rope, and neatly done, for while she worked. Her arms slid around him a bit more securely, hugging him tightly. Her head was tucked against his shoulder, near his neck, and she seemed to relax a bit, just breathing out against him. Quiet for now::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 3:50:43 PM)
*He held her there for a few minutes before moving a bit he looked at her* You need to get some sleep...

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 3:53:47 PM)
::she nods to him, still tucked against him:: I know.... ::Kaia's phone chimes a txt, she doesn't even lift her head:: I need a shower too.

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 3:56:25 PM)
*smiling* Well I wasn't gonna say anything....*chuckliing a bit*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 3:57:28 PM)
::she gives him a shove:: Heeeey... you don't smell like roses either... You just went running... ::she eyes the drying blood on his hands and clothes:: You... don't look so good...

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 3:59:47 PM)
*He looked down at his hands and shrugged... shifting up to Glabro in the privacy of her forge she could see his knuckles healing quickly her head now resting on his chest for a moment before shifting back down and wiping the blood on his shirt showing healed hands*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 4:01:56 PM)
::she blinked, her head lifting, the rapid shift throwing her off a bit, as she watches him, still not tired of it, as she pauses, looking to him:: You look like you just butchered me in my own forge. ::noting the blood all over his clothes::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 4:03:40 PM)
*Grins* it wouldn't be you... but it could be a good place to get rid of the body.... *chuckles* I don't have any clothes here, if we drive to my house I can shower and change and so can you..... *left that open*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 4:07:26 PM)
::she laughs softly, looking to him:: Let me shower... then we can go over. I have PJs at your house... I only have PJs at your house. ::she smiles a bit, grabbing her phone and shoving it in her pocket without looking at it, and she heads to the house, locking up the forge after they're both out::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 4:08:07 PM)
Do you want to take something else over there with you? You know you can do that.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 4:10:44 PM)
::she nods:: I'm going to take a change of clothes... ::she smiles softly:: You can meet my new friend... ::heading into the house, as she walked inside::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 4:11:21 PM)
*looks at her as she heads to the house a questioning look on his face* New friend? *he followed her into the house*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 4:13:16 PM)
::Kaia pointed to her office, the door already slightly ajar, and she leaned in, kissing his cheek softly:: I'll be back... won't take long to shower. ::moving for her bedroom::

Mark Renner (Dec 6, 2010 4:16:33 PM)
*stepping into the office he looks around and see's the animal a smirk on his face as an Idea comes to him... looking around down the hall towards her bedroom* Hey you got lunch....*said loud enough she could hear him.... he picked the turtle up and set it so he could pick it up in a second... he shifted down to lupus and gently picked the turtle up that was in his shell hiding... he padded out into the hall to see her*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 4:20:11 PM)
::she had a neat little terrarium all set up. A little rock pool for him, some sand, some mini palms and plants and foliage... she'd really made a cute little home for the lil' guy. A heat lamp was beating down for him, it was an very neat little set up. She had a little bit of fruit and some greens for him. The turtle hid -immediately- when he saw Mark, and he could hear something drop and the sound of her footsteps as she came running into the hallway:: Nooooooooo! Don't eat him!!!!!!

*E's black pick-up pulls up out front and parks...she kills the engine and gets out,..looking things over as she walks to the front door to ring the bell*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 4:28:07 PM)
::Mark.. having just left for... some unknown reason... Kaia is on her couch, in a camisole, and a comfortable pair of PJ pants. She looks incredibly exhausted, sleep-deprived to the extreme, and her hair is soaked, having just got out of the shower. E can see the back of her head, as Kaia sat on the couch, watching something, knees up:: Come in... ::calling softly::

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 4:28:17 PM)
::situation appears normal outside::

Elise Schmitz (Dec 6, 2010 4:29:31 PM)
*she hesitates, but then opens the door and walks in, trying to make light of the situation* Now why don't she write, I wonder? *she turns to shut the door behind her* I was worried about you, doll.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 4:32:48 PM)
::the house...also appears normal. On the opposite end of the couch is a rumpled blanket, like someone was cuddling it sometime today. On top of Kaia's knees... is a little tortoise. Kaia is calmly feeding him some greens, cupped in her other hand, intently interested in the little critter, but she smiled softly to Elise:: It's okay... just... a bunch of stuff this morning. Lukas and Mark got on me about things. Had a big fight with Mark... things have calmed down a bit. Just didn't get a chance to txt back. I'm ignoring my phone... not you. ::looking over to E, as the tortoise reaaaaaached its head out and chomped down on the treat::

Elise Schmitz (Dec 6, 2010 4:35:37 PM)
*she nods a little and walks over, bending down to eye the tortoise a few moments before only shifting her gaze to look Kaia in the eye* So. Mind if I have a seat?

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 4:38:32 PM)
::the tortoise eyes Elise back, chewing happily, very calmly, in a turtle-like way. Kaia nods to Elise:: As you wish... ::her eyes are red-rimmed, not from crying, more from exhaustion. Her eyes are red, the green so bright as to be almost irridescent. Kaia's resolve and her strength is wavering, starting to fray just a little.::

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 4:39:39 PM)
(be back in 2 minutes)

Elise Schmitz (Dec 6, 2010 4:41:18 PM)
*quietly, sitting on the seat next to her* Thanks. *she is quiet a few more moments, watching the tortoise again before looking at Kaia* I'm not one to beat around the bush, but I'm willing to give you the option to decline--but only for today. I'm worried about you and think we need to talk about some things. *she nods a little* Important things. But judging by what I saw at the sept a little while ago, I'm thinking you've had a trying day, so I could let them slide, unless you'd rather just get it all over with today and be done with it.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 4:48:24 PM)
::the tortoise seems content to just eat and chew slowly, Kaia stuffing the little guy. Kaia was watching Elise and she raised a brow:: What did you see at the sept? ::If it was possible, she looked even more wary, frowning a bit::

Elise Schmitz (Dec 6, 2010 4:49:35 PM)
Your guardian almost throat Keening Sorrow. *almost nonchalantly*

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 4:55:25 PM)
::and as disconcerting as that should be to Kaia... she doesn't appear to be tooooo phased by that... Kaia nodded to Elise::

Elise Schmitz (Dec 6, 2010 4:55:54 PM)
I didn't come to talk about that, though. Unless you need to vent...*she shrugs* I came to see what's keeping you from sleeping.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 4:58:59 PM)
::she nodded to Elise:: That.. was a result of this morning. ::said quietly:: It should be over... and done with. I hope. ::she offers the little tortoise a chunk of spinach, choosing her words after a moment:: Mostly just stupid stuff... it's not logical. And I know it's not logical...

Beyond the stuff with Keening Sorrow...I mean.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 5:06:14 PM)
::she shakes her head:: No... I'm not homesick. I miss my father and my family.. but it's not unbearable. I mostly ... since coming here, I never got into the physical violence. And it's been a new experience. I know it was the Spirals... and I was having nightmares.. and it was getting better. I was sleeping better... the bane thing... has me worried. When Anna was saying they can get there, in your dreams... while you sleep. Lukas checked me, I have no banes. I'm clean..

Elise Schmitz (Dec 6, 2010 5:07:12 PM)
*gently* Then there's nothing to worry about, right?

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 5:09:23 PM)
::she nods:: I know... logically. I -know-.. ::her voice was getting heated, frustrated at herself, and the tortoise's head went in a bit. She calmed down in a few, still tempting him with tasty treats. He was going to be the fattest tortoise ever.:: I don't know why it's bothering me so.

Elise Schmitz (Dec 6, 2010 5:10:12 PM)
*simply* Because it's scary.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 5:10:35 PM)
::she nods:: That's probably not helping.

Elise Schmitz (Dec 6, 2010 5:13:44 PM)
*she nods some, thinking over what she wants to say, and finally she does, lowering her voice* I don't know about you, but I have a very hard time admitting when I'm ....scared. So much so that Bastian actually asked me if I was at one point and I lied to him to not admit it. *she shakes her head* I've decided that while I may not want to admit it, it is very real and it's a natural reaction to things. *she shrugs some* You just have to remind yourself that you won't profit from it at all. I mean, it doesn't help anything. And certainly not to show it, thanks to our tribe.

Elise Schmitz (Dec 6, 2010 5:14:44 PM)

Lukas doesn't know... or if he does, it's because he's guessed. Mark doesn't know... no one knows. We're Fenrir... we don't -do- scared. Relentless... doesn't show fear either. I don't want to be one of those kin.. like what happened with Gretchen. ::her voice lowering:: She and I weren't close, but I'd never have wished that upon her... anyone.

Elise Schmitz (Dec 6, 2010 5:20:41 PM)
I wouldn't have either, and I'm sure you know she was not one that I liked to have around. *she raises her eyebrows* But no one deserves that. And really, Kaia, what are the chances of it? If you have to, think of it in terms of probabilities. *she shrugs some* We see death more than others, and weird shit, but when it comes down to it, it's not all the time. It can't be, you know?

Elise Schmitz (Dec 6, 2010 5:26:39 PM)

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 5:26:43 PM)
::she nods to Elise, frowning. Her handful of greens gone, she was just watching the tortoise, curiously, studying him, before looking back to Elise. The tortoise seemed bored.:: Right now.. ? People are getting sick, we have rats all over.... crazy, swarming rats... It's... just a lot to take in. I like the normal times... but the crazy times. We have swarming banes that enter your dreams and take you, if you show their special brand of weakness.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 5:26:47 PM)
(nods, that's okay)

Elise Schmitz (Dec 6, 2010 5:27:56 PM)
*she turns and looks at her* And you're Fenrir. And tough. Shouldn't that make it harder for them to find their way in? *her head tilts to one side slightly* But...you have to be rested, and eating right so you're strong enough for it.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 5:29:52 PM)
::she nods:: I know.... like I said...logically. I know. ::she pauses and looks to her:: I've been eating okay... ::gesturing down to herself:: I'm not exactly wasting away. ::and while maybe a 5-pound change from stress, she was still well-muscled and fueled:: The sleep thing... ::she frowns:: I'm working on that.

Elise Schmitz (Dec 6, 2010 5:31:01 PM)
That's all you can do. *she shrugs* Or go find Lenore or Nascha and ask them for something to help you get to sleep.....or....have Mark stay over. Might make you feel safer, at least, even if he can't keep banes away from your dreams.

Kaia Skaare (Dec 6, 2010 5:32:47 PM)
::she smiles, a faint blush at her cheeks:: I... um. I sleep at Mark's... and when I do, I do sleep better. But... it's not appropriate to stay there every night... ::she looks to Elise:: It does help...
