Re: Svarik and the company II

[Mirach]

The actor held his breath for a while, looking into Tide's chaotic eyes, terrified and fascinated by them. "I can't give you a good-night kiss with the mask," he whispered, and gave Tide just a short but gentle kiss.

" Oh... Okay. " critter got a little flustered with unexpected request. He did obey it, though, and he slowly removed the mask he was wearing, and looked up at actor slowly, with a little vulnerable smile.

Tide chuckled a little shyly, and he allowed lad to kids him, leaning into the kiss and returning it.
" It is nice..  that you iniciate things like those. " He whispered quietly, seeming flustered and little vulnerable " I like having warning ahead, so I can prepare myself... touching is very personal for Spirits and Demons. I like it, that you do not touch me freely, but iniciate first. I am more comfortable like that. It is nice..."

[Mirach]

"I didn't really think about that," Senecio admitted. "I'm glad I got it right..."

[VisAnastasis]

" I wouldn't blame you if you didn't. It is a feeling humans have bit harder time imagining. " Tide smiled fondly, seeming to value lad's honesty. " It is just.. Very intimate. I like when you ask me first. Material form... It is just subtle clothing, of our souls. Every touch is personal. But it is alright, I know humans evolved to feel differently, so I shan't blame you if you sometimes forget yourself... But if you want to make sure I am comfortable with something, best thing you can do is just ask... like I ask... "

[Mirach]

Senecio nodded. "I will try to remember."

[VisAnastasis]

Tide nodded thankfully. " I shall leave oyu now, if it's okay. " he said. " I will need to meditate, to ease my mind, as well. Lot has happened and changed.. I will need time to get used to it. " he said shyly, as he put on his mask again. " I will see if I can brush up and touch Erdel's soul a bit later, to ease him, if he lets me. I already did it a little bit today. For that, I shall need clear mind, too. "

[Mirach]

Senecio nodded. "If you see him reading the letter... could you tell me how he reacts?" he asked.

[VisAnastasis]

" If I see him read it, I will tell you, I promise. " Tide nodded, and he shyly touched the cup with the tea he made, to make sure it's still warm for Senecio, and then he turned to leave.

[Mirach]

Senecio fell asleep soon after the demon left, still tired after the sleepless night.

[VisAnastasis]

Tide meditated for a while, until he was sure Svarik and Melody were fast asleep and Erdel had time to relax more.
Only then, he went upstairs with the letter. He spoke with the vampire for a little while, asking for his health and how he's feeling, and then, when vampire felt secure enough for it, he touched his soul for a little bit, to make it little better and more in tune, so trauma of the previous day when actor hurt him would pass for him easier. Only after it, and after they relaxed a little and had a brake, Erdel found his voice again, and he quietly asked to be given a letter from Lorenzo, which Tide diligently handed to him.

[Mirach]

The letter started rather formally, but then t got more sincere, as Senecio wrote about his father and the obligation he felt towards his family to succeed or die trying, and how he didn't really wanted to kill anyone and so picked the poison, not knowing it can cause such harm to demons.

[VisAnastasis]

Erdel was reading quietly and slowly, mindful of every word, appearing rather thoughtful. When he finished the letter, he did not return it back to Tide, though.
" When he wakes up the the morning, tell him I need to speak with him in private. " he just said simply. " After I do so, then, I shall return him the letter. "
Tide nodded hesitantly, not wanting to refuse, knowing it would be impolite and unkind to his guest. He returned to his room then, and he sat down and meditated in soothing silence of the night, while waiting for Senecio to wake up.

[Mirach]

(If Tide didn't wake him) Senecio slept until late morning, used to go to bed late after the plays and banquets that some patrons held after them, and get up late.

[VisAnastasis]

( If Svarik is still sleeping by that time so Erdel is free ) When he felt actor waking up, Tide gave him some time of reprieve to  wake up bit more, before he knocked on his door, to tell him what Erdel said.

[Mirach]

Senecio paled a little, writing the letter being one thing, put facing the vampire in person another, and he was afraid that Erdel did not like his apology and won't accept it.

[VisAnastasis]

" What should I tell him? Should I bring him here?" Demon asked quietly .

[Mirach]

"I can't really refuse, can I?" Senecio murmured. "It's up to him where he wants to meet, I guess."

[VisAnastasis]

" He wants to come here - to the room we assigned for you, if you'd allow. " demon admitted quietly. " That is what he asked... And he does not want me to be present... "

[Mirach]

"Alright then..." Senecio said, instinctivelly looking at the window as a possible escape route, but awerting his sight from it then.

[VisAnastasis]

" I will bring him, then. Please, try to behave, okay? He is my guest, and I care for him... And I don't want you to harm yourself more, either. " Tide whispered quietly, thought he seemed little anxious about the meeting as well.

He went to bring Erdel then. He returned couple of minutes later, and he opened the door for him - while vampire slowly walked in, with expression neutral and unreadable.

[Mirach]

"Welcome," Senecio said humbly, hiding the fear he felt behind a mask of acting.

[VisAnastasis]

Vampire waited for doors to close and Tide to leave to his room, before he replied.
" It is nice to be welcome. " he said then, neutrally, without emotions, as he was looking around the room. " I do not feel quite welcome, though. " he said simply, as he slowly gazed back at the actor. " Ahem... Shouldn't you offer me some better hospitality? Like perhaps sitting down, and having something to drink? " he asked practically. " Mind you, I'd skip the drink, but I would prefer to sit down. It's easier to talk, like that, and I would feel more welcome. "

[Mirach]

"Yes, of course, sit down wherever yo would like," Senecio said with an inviting gesture, but himself remained standing, as if waiting for allowance to sit.

[VisAnastasis]

" Alright, then. " vampire nodded, and he sat down on the bed, where it was spacious enough. He then made an inviting gesture and patted free place on the bed beside him, glancing meaningfully to it, to indicate to actor he wants him to sit down there.

[Mirach]

Senecio obeyed, keeping a neutral expression.
