She waved to Tassek. "Yes...that does sound like a good place to start."

🌀

When we got there, I went in front of her and knocked. I definitely sensed an angel here. To my surprise, it was answered by an unfamiliar blonde man in a suit. ....oh. That was easy. "Kinsley?" "Is an annoying wannabe college lecturer. Do you need something?" "...what?" "Wait, why do /you/ have wings? Of all people? How is that fair?!" "I...don't know about fair, but....."

2015-07-27 11:36:52

●

A blonde male answered. No. This was definitely not him. College lecturer? Rude. Obviously, Rayne kept quiet. This wasn't her business. It didn't involve him.

"I'm assuming you aren't Kinsley. Who are you, then?" "I'll tell you as soon as you tell me how to get those back." "I'm not entirely sure myself, so we may be at an impasse..." Suddenly Cale appeared and shoved him bodily aside. "Move, douchebag. Oh, angel guy. What's up? Looking for..." Then he saw Rayne. "....Goddammit, /you/."

2015-07-27 11:41:56

●

Well this was a bit of an- Oh....him. She froze in her steps. Unsure of what to say or what to do.

2015-07-27 11:44:36

🌀

"You punched me in the fucking face!" He lunged, but I held him off with little effort. He really was starving. "Cale, this is a friend of Tassek's, and she's looking for someone." Actually telling him who seemed like a bad idea at the moment. "Well he's not here, so either let me eat her or fuck off!"

2015-07-27 11:48:17

●

"You come near me and I'll punch your face again, enough to break your nose this time." She snapped. Yes. This obviously wasn't the Kinsley she met, so he was free game to be rude to.

2015-07-27 11:49:53

🌀

"Not if I break your neck first." "Ahahaha, how about, I don't know, we go now? Right, leaving!" I pushed him back inside and closed the door, ushering her back downstairs. "Let's hurry and try the next place before he eats the landlord."

2015-07-27 11:52:18

●

"Yes. That sounds like a wonderful idea. Lets go." She moved away from the door.

2015-07-27 11:53:11

🌀

What next, well, probably Cale's closest confidante aside from his actual bondmate. Lance it was. I took her to the shop next, the bell ringing as we entered. I sensed Lance, and then....another, maybe. It was slightly faint, so I couldn't tell.

Kinsley was helping run the shop momentarily, as he was the only non-vampire currently in residence, but the second he saw the door open, he sprinted upstairs to hide in Ivory's room. Shit. She was here to kill him. And she'd brought Seculus, for some reason? Not exactly the best hired muscle. He knocked on her door frantically, glancing behind him.

2015-07-27 11:57:17

●

Lance looked from the two who just entered, to Kinsley who sprinted to Ivory's room. "Well, haven't seen you in a while Seculus...and I assumed you two have a reason as to why Kinsley has been scared out of his mind."

Ivory heard a knock on the door while on a skype call with Ren. Well that wasn't Lance. "Hold on, I'm sorry about this, But I'll call you back really quick." She hung up the call, pulled out her headphones and answered the door. "Yes?" She asked once she answered.

The second the door opened. A man ran upstairs. And...this gentleman at the counter...said Kinsley? Wait?! That was him?! The man in the glasses was him? She...fuck! He probably thought she was here to fight him.

2015-07-27 12:08:56

🌀

"I saw you just a week or so ago, you simply didn't talk to me. Wait, Kinsley's here?" I glanced over his shoulder at the door swinging shut. "Well, a reason, possibly, though I'm not sure about the scared part."

"Sorry for interrupting, but may I take you up on that offer to hide here for a short while?"

2015-07-27 12:15:53

●

He rested his elbow on the glass counter hand his chin on his palm. "I'm listening."

"Oh! Sure. Come right in!" She grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him into the room, shutting the door behind him.

2015-07-27 12:18:41

🌀

I looked over at Rayne. "You know the specifics better than I."

He stumbled, but breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want Rayne to yell at him anymore. "Thank you. What were you doing?"

2015-07-27 12:21:01

●

She took a step forward. "Well I-"

"I didn't get your name dear."

"Rayne. I-"

"Hello Rayne. Nice to meet you. How did you know about Cale's angel? I assume since you're with Seculus you know about those things."

"About that. I guess...i met him while he was...'inhabiting' Cale's body. I guess? We spoke a few times and then..."

"And then I'm guessing the real Cale tried to kill you. "

"...Yes. How?"

"I know Cale better than I know my other half. It was an easy guess."

ivory looked to her laptop. "Oh just skyping a friend. Nothing too serious."

2015-07-27 12:26:40

🌀

Well, that made things much easier. She hardly had to explain at all, he made short work of so many of the details. "In any case, she naturally didn't have the best reaction. When he got out, he apparently tried to chase her, and that....didn't go over well."

"Oh. So long as it wasn't the middle of a conversation."

2015-07-27 12:29:35

●

"As I can see now." He straightened out. "He's in Ivory's room right now. If you don't make it sound like you want to kill him, he might listen. Go upstairs, make a right. Only door on the right at the end of the hall."

Wow, it was just that easy? "Thank you."

"Eh, We weren't talking about anything too important." Ivory sat back down in her desk chair.

2015-07-27 12:34:19

🌀

"Thanks. Right, well, you'd better hurry before he makes a run for it via the fire escape." I moved quickly towards the stairs with her. Wow, what had she /said/, I wondered, to scare him this badly? Cale didn't seem like the sort to have cowardly voices. Not that Tassek did. That was...just me...anyways.

"In casual conversation importance doesn't mean quite as much as enjoyability, or strangers would nearly never meet as they have nothing of prior importance to talk about. If it was an enjoyable conversation, it was still rude of me to interrupt."

2015-07-27 18:43:31

●

"Good idea." She rushed up the steps, her boots making loud thumps as she moved from the shop and into the house.

"Well, if they get too pissed off about it, I'm sure they'll just show up at the shop and sit in my room with us. They live practically down the street. I just didn't want to leave the place today to talk to them."

2015-07-27 21:20:51

🌀

"I guess that's the point of video chat, to not have to go anywhere for conversa--" He froze as he heard the footsteps on the stairs, glancing around for a place to hide and settling for behind the door.

2015-07-27 21:38:07

●

She heard the steps as well. "It's not like they live halfway across the world or anything."

There was a knock on the door. "...Kinsley?" Rayne asked, her voice sounding more of desperation than anger.

"Well I'm very certain that isn't Cale. Considering he is a male."

2015-07-27 21:45:20

🌀

He shook his head at her silently anyway. He wanted to keep his limbs for now.

2015-07-27 21:46:56

●

Rayne rested her forehead on the door, almost on the verge of tears again. "...Look Kinsley, I'm.../really, really/ sorry. Seculus explained everything to me and I didn't know so...I'm sorry."

Ivory paused for a second. "Go talk to her right now. She's obviously not here to fight."

2015-07-27 21:52:24

🌀

He stared at the door. She was...sorry? And she'd come looking for him just to tell him that? He rubbed at his slightly wet eyes under his glasses and, slowly, moved in front of the door and opened it a little, nervous.

2015-07-27 21:58:14

●

She almost fell when the door opened, and grabbed the door frame to balance herself out. Her eyes then met another pair of gorgeous brown ones. "...K-Kinsley?" She asked, sniffling a bit.
