What a broken heart feels like

[14:55] Kendri asks, "Perhaps you would like to chat inside the bar if you're not in a rush?"
[14:56] Lilith Allison whispers: I like what I see...
[14:56] Revan Task says, "I do not drink.. But I am recovering energy so I can gather more lumber."
[14:56] * You have been awarded 2 Roleplay Points! *
[14:56] Revan Task whispers: ...
[14:56] Kendri says, "Bars don't exactly mean you have to drink."
[14:57] Lilith Allison exclaims, "Its a place of comfort!"
[14:57] Kendri nods towards Lily.
(Kendri)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:57] Kendri says, "She's got the right idea."
[14:57] Lilith Allison says, "I like this guy already"
[14:57] Revan Task asks, "... We can go- I believe it is south of here?"
[14:58] Kendri says, "Mhm. Follow me, if you will."
[14:58] Kendri says, "Take care, Esther."
[14:59] Kendri says, "Here we are."
[14:59] Revan Task says, "... There is a training area.. In a bar"
[14:59] Revan Task says, ".. Unusual."
[14:59] Lilith Allison says, "Practical"
[14:59] Kendri says, "Hah, I suppose so."
[14:59] Kendri asks, "You said you were recovering energy though, would you like some food?"
[15:00] Lilith Allison says, "I got some vodka if you guys wanna drink it"
[15:00] Revan Task says, "... I have some jerky.. Thank you tho-"
[15:00] Revan Task says, "... Why do you have vodka."
[15:00] Lilith Allison says, "Hans gave it to me"
[15:00] Revan Task says, ".. Why does hans have Vodka."
[15:00] Lilith shrugs
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:00] Lilith Allison says, "Try it out Kendri"
[15:00] Kendri says, "Ah, I don't drink."
[15:01] Kendri asks, "Lily, was it?"
[15:01] Lilith Allison exclaims, "Yes!"
[15:02] Kendri would approach her, a hand placed just behind her back but not on it- Even still, it felt like there was something pushing her forward gently.
(Kendri)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:02] Kendri asks, "Have a seat, hm?"
[15:02] Lilith Allison says, "Alright then"
[15:03] Kendri asks, "So what do you two do?"
[15:05] Golden hues would squint as Kendri guided Lilith to having a seat on the bench. He would feel something welling inside him, he didn't quite know what it was- but he did not like it. Not one bit.

"Train.. Gather Resources.. And Run a guild together."

He'd say rather shortly, keeping the conversation business related.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:06] Lilith is still disappointed that her offer of vodka was rejected. But she sits down, and eats the sandwich that was given to her.

"We have a cool adventuring guild and we walk around doing lots of stuff!"

She would take her first bite of the sandwich and make a really happy face. Sandwiches like this should be the standard for all sandwiches she thought.
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:09] After having taken his spot beside Lily, the teen would glance between the two of them. They seemed friendly enough, though Revan seemed to be on the more serious side for whatever reason.

"Ah, you run a guild together? That sounds like fun, adventuring and what not. Though I do hope you're careful. Nasty things lurk about and we wouldn't want you to get hurt now, would we?"

A brief smile was given towards the girl beside him as well as Revan. Whom he.. Didn't actually tell to sit down because the guy was floating!
(Kendri)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:11] Lilith likes Kendri's smiles. Pausing her feasting to smile back at him
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:15] Sitting criss-cross-apple-sauce in the air, he felt more comfortable being somewhere he could observe the two. He would open his mouth to say something- perhaps how he takes the hits for the guild- or how he is their protector.

Though his eyes would drift to Lilly's side, remembering the scar on her side from when they tried to take on a Kaor.

With a grunt, he would find himself suddenly plummeting to the ground, landing in the sand... This was fine.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:18] Tilting his head towards Lily once more, an eyebrow lifted-

"Enjoying the sandwich?"

He'd ask that much before his gaze trailed off towards Revan who had.. Just landed in the sand. He didn't know what to feel about the bandaged teen, honestly.

He was getting a lot of vibes from him, some good, some.. Probably a little worrying. Perhaps that's just his own head playing tricks on him though.

"I'm in a guild myself, mm. So tell me then, who is the one that runs the guild? How many people are in it?"
(Kendri)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:23] As Lilith continues to finish up the last of the sandwich, she would wipe the crumbs off her mouth before turning to answer.

"The four people who founded it have a sort of voting session whenever we want to do something. As for how many people are in the guild..."

She counts out loud on her fingers, double checking and making sure she gets the number right.

"We've got 10 in total!" A little proud saying it. The Dragons Tooth was her family and having that many people she can be close to is a blessing for her.
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:24] Hold up one of his bandaged hands, four fingers would be seen held up. "Four of us run it.. Lilith and I being two of the original founders.." A thumb would extend for Fingar, their first recruit. His other hand would raise for Astrid, Suki, Banri, Rei, and Piper, making- It seemed Lilith had beaten him to it.

".. Mmm.. Yes.. Is.. Alessia joining our guild? Or just hanging around?.. I should.. Recheck on Piper.. She does not spend much time or contribute much to us.." He would say in his monotonous tone.

"Tell us of.. Your guild." the young Task would ask, seemingly a little more interested.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:29] "Ten people? That's quite impressive."

He'd nod, once more flashing a smile in the direction of the two. There seemed to be an air of humility following Kendri at all times, honestly. Though when Revan spoke up once more, he'd tilt his head.

He spoke in a strange way, but it was easy to understand for the most part.

"All I can disclose about my guild is that it wants peace, friend. I can't tell you much more than that." Whatever it was, he wasn't going to put himself or the others in danger. Not with what was soon to happen.

"Enough guild chat though!" Quick to change the topic it seemed- "Are you two together, hm?"
(Kendri)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:34] As Lilith relaxes and thinks about what she should do for fun next, Kendri would suddenly spring up a surprising question. She blushed a bit, but remained calm. She looked at both Revan and Kendri before giving an answer.

"N-No not really. I'm older than him as well."

She didn't know any better excuses then that and just put her hands to her face to hide her shame and embarrassment.
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:39] There would be an incredulous look on the Task's face as Kendri changed the topic at hand.

Together? Of course we're together, he found us together, did he not?

Though as Lilly gave an answer he didn't expect, he would suddenly realize what together really meant. His eyes going wide as she brought age into it.

Worry would rise within him, Have I made a fool of myself? Making false presumptions? He would blink a few times, chewing on the inside of his cheek to try and distract him from his thoughts.

He would simply shake his head- he guessed not.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:42] Finally making his way back to Nyesa and the bar he'd only been in once before, Judeau didn't want to be hopeful that he'd find what he sought. Approaching the counter he'd eye the wares on offer, his fingers drumming steadily on the countertop.

Emerald eyes widened in surprise as a bag of coin was quickly slammed onto the bar, one finger extending towards a flask with a particular brew inside. It was the one said to help those who used magic cleanse their circuts somewhat, allowing them the chance to learn certain new skills. It was not a perfect science, however, and Judeau knew there were some things that he would retain even after ingesting it.

Turning on his heel the academic's steps towards the door slowed as he spotted a familiar face. "Oh, Kendri. It's nice to see you again." he said as he approached the trio, bowing to them all one after the other. "Taking care of yourself I hope?"

Realizing his rudeness, he smiled brightly towards Lilith and Revan--whose face was wrapped in a mess of bandages. "Forgive my interruption, my name's Judeau Crestwood. I hope I'm not intruding on a private matter?"

(Judeau Crestwood)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:44] Lilith stands up and returns the bow
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:44] Lilith Allison says, "The name is Lilith, but call me Lily"
[15:44] Revan Task says, "... Revan."
[15:46] As soon as he asked that question, it seemed like the two of them would.. Have a bit of an odd reaction. Lily herself not being able to even show face, and Revan sort of.. Being there, shaking his head.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with a bit of age difference Lily. As long as it's, you know.. Reasonable. Perhaps you should give a younger guy a chance to see how you like it, yeah?"

He'd say that much, shifting ever so slightly. He was going to continue talking until he heard the voice of a familiar being. Turning his head to face the Crestwood, that same smile would present itself towards the older male.

"Hey there, Judeau. Likewise. I've been doing well, how about yourself?"

When he asked if he were interrupting something, the teen shook his head.

"Just friendly conversation. These two happened to catch my eye, so I figured I'd get to know them a little."
(Kendri)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:48] Standing up from the sandy floor, Revan would dust himself off. "It's a public area.. You're not interrupting anything." He would say keeping his eyes on the ground, not enjoying how this conversation had turned.

".. I was just leaving anyway.. Trees to cut." He would say slowly, though his pace to the door was rather fast.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:49] Lilith dashes in front of Revan to stop him from leaving
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:50] Lilith Allison whispers: You're not leaving yet my friend. We need to spend some more time together. So stay with me a while longer
[15:51] Revan Task whispers: ... I am not comfortable here
[15:51] Revan Task whispers: I.. I'm finding it hard to.. Breath.
[15:51] Lilith Allison whispers: Then we shall leave
[15:51] Revan Task says, "... I will take you back to the guild."
[15:52] Lilith Allison says, "Sorry for leaving so quick"
[15:52] Trying to glean what they were talking about before he arrived proved an amusing way to pass the time while he listened to Kendri's oration. It seemed young love was the subject of the day, or at least it had been to some degree.

"I've been great!" he exclaimed, "The renovations back home are coming along great and I've nearly got my practice set up! I just need permission to operate within the city limits and I should be in business!"

However it seemed that Revan's mood had soured as they spoke of departure, Judeau stepping aside to allow the young lad room to leave unhindered.

"I see. Well I won't keep you--" he began, observing as Lilith seemed intent on barring Revan's path with her own body. "Oh, seems like there's a bit of trouble in paradise..."

Laughing slightly to himself, he idly took the potion he'd just bought from his coat and tugged off the stopper. The liquid within could perhaps help him to prepare himself more fully for any trials to come, so why did he hesitate to drink it.



(Judeau Crestwood)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:52] Lilith Allison says, "Our guild is in Alabastre if you want to visit"
[15:52] Kendri says, "Mm, no worries, hah. You two take care."
[15:52] Lilith waves at the two
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:52] Lilith Allison exclaims, "Bye bye!"
[15:53] Revan Task says, "Here. We're back. "
[15:53] Revan turns to leave to go back into the forest.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:54] Lilith Allison asks, "Is something wrong?"
[15:54] Revan Task says, "I.. Don't know."
[15:54] Revan Task says, ".. I want to be alone. "
[15:55] Lilith gets a little sad and worried. Is what she said wrong?
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:56] Revan would try to push past her to leave.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:59] Trying to move past Lilith, he would find her trying to constantly obstruct his path. His mana surging around him would focus on his legs, causing them to swell as he leapt high in the air into the tree line.

She would however hear him call from the foliage, "Don't try to follow me. And don't send anyone after me.. Unless it's Fenes.. She is the only one I will talk to."
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:00] Lilith makes a defeated face, sighs, and walks to the guild hall devastated
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:12] He would run through the forest, heading home with a pain in his chest. So many emotions rattling around inside of him, jealousy, shame, regret, betrayal. He knew he had made a fool of himself, he opened himself up to someone who truly didn't care about him.

What did she think of him as? All the care, all the affection she had shown him, no one had ever been that kind to him before.. Had he mistaken it for something more than it was? Had he fooled himself into believing he could find love?

As he would pass by the trees, he would kick and thrash, looking for some physical reason to justify the tears that stained his bandages.

Oh gods.. What have I done..
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:36] Beating his fists until his knuckles were blood, kicking against the trunks of the trees until his shins were peppered with splinters, none of it compared to the sinking feeling in his chest.

His crying would only intensify as he threw himself, leaving a wake of destruction in his path until his body couldn't continue anymore. Turning his back against a tree, he would slide down until he was sitting, clutching at his chest. His head hanging in his hands as he began to sob and ugly sob.

What am I going to do?.. I made a fool of myself to Lilly.. I jumped to false conclusions.. I've done nothing but hurt this Guild.. Everyone in it.

.. I don't belong there.. No one.. Understands me.. Why did I think.. I could find somewhere to belong.. Somewhere that wasn't my home.

He would remember the world Thalis used to describe the good times he had with them, Innocents. it was something Revanknew he wasn't- was he lying to himself, thinking he could be innocent? Even with the things he's done, the things he wishes he could do?

He would only sink further into himself, unsure of what to do or where to go.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:46] The Ookami would find a familiar bandaged teen stepping beside him, knuckles bloodied, and shins full of splinters. The bandages below his eyes would be soaked, and his posture would be very small.

"Hello Mr. Avitus.. I-.. Can we.. Talk? I.. Didn't know.. Who else to come to.. Or where to go.." His voice broken and trembling as he struggled to speak, looking around as if he thought someone might have been looking for him.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:50] There's a brief jump from the Ookami as the Task appears beside him. How long had he spaced off exactly? Knitting his brow over the hunched form of Revan he'd press his lips into a thin, tight line before he murmured to himself.

"Course we can. C'mon, let's get y' inside then y' can start." Taking due note of the tremble in the youth's voice he'd usher them along. "Fuckin' shitty weather t'day, ain't it? All tha' rain down south... Could see it." He'd lie.
(Thalis Avitus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:50] Revan Task says, "Yes.. It's.. A terrible day for rain.."
[16:51] Thalis Avitus asks, "Right... So wha' th' 'el's up, Revan?"
[17:02] Following his mentor into his home, it was already comforting to be out of the elements, away from prying eyes that could see him acting so weak. Staring down at the table, he would think of the Lesson Fenes and him had been given at this same table. He was thankful to have met Thalis, he had been a reliable, and wise mentor- a second father to him, when his own was often absent.

"It's.. My guild.. Well.. A.. Girl in the guild.." He would confess, being raised only with his brothers and without a mother, women were something the Task had very little experience with. His father had never given him any tips or pointers on how to deal with them.

"She has been.. Very kind.. To me.. We spend a lot of time together.. And she was.. Someone I trusted.. Very dearly.." He would elaborate, sniffling periodically as he tried to keep one train of thought going. "We've been through a lot.. Survived an attack from a demon together.. I nursed her injuries.. And when I fell to Valero.. She nursed me back to health.. And was the main one who enforced me to bed arrest.. She.. When she smiles at me.. I feel.. Warm.. When we spar.. I don't feel anger.. or malice.. Even if I lose.. I am.. Simply.. Happy.." It certainly sounded like a typical case of young love.

"I.. I made a move.. A few weeks ago.. Where I kissed her.. She seemed flustered.. I.. Thought she might have.. Felt the same way.. But it was like something came up.. And she wanted to head back to the guild.. She said we would talk about it later.. but.. We never did.. I thought about bringing it up.. But.. I wanted to ask Fenes what she thought first.. But.. The girl.. Asked me to come with her to Nysea.. And we ran into a.. Guy.. Who invited us to a bar.. He tried getting close with her and I felt.. Something.. Something I didn't like.. And then he asked if we were.. Together.. Then she said.. Not really.. And that she was older.. I.. I don't know.. How to handle these emotions I'm feeling.." He would say, hanging his head as he truly didn't know what to do.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:11] Thalis's gaze remains on the Task as he sets himself down upon the same chair as always. It was no one else's but his own - Even his kids knew that. Crossing his arms against his chest he'd let the boy speak his heart out...

Oh. OH fuck.

Love was, sadly, a weak point in the Ookami's arsenal of emotions. He had only been with two girls after all... One dead, the other living and still flourishing - His eyes briefly dip towards the mass of flowers he'd brought her from time to time.

"Well..." Thalis began, trying to collect his thoughts on just how to begin with this mess he was presented. "First off, tha' emotion yer feelin'? Tha's love. It makes y' do stupid 'n crazy thin's tha' y' normally wouldn't do. Truth be told it's one o' th' most violent emotions... It can go good 'n bad in a mere blink o' an eye."

"Now this girl, yea'? If y' really want thin's with 'er y' pull 'er aside 'n talk t' 'er… Though m' issue comes with 'ow ol' she may be. 'ow ol' are y', Revan, 'n 'ow ol' is she?" That was a very, very important part of things a hundred percent of the time. "If she's t' ol' then 'onestly… I'd say find some other chick- Fenes 'specially."

Though there's a pause, a fatherly, stern gaze falling upon his mug as he stared the Task over. "Speakin' o' tha' did y' e'er ask 'er o' see 'er recently? Still worried 'bout 'er--" Thalis pauses, quickly waving that topic away to steer back onto track.

"Stayin' on track though... 'ow ol' are they, 'n are y' sure y' see yerself bein' lovey-dovey with this chick?"
(Thalis Avitus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:31] Slowly picking his head up, atleast he had been able to identify the emotion he was feeling. The chaotic feeling of love, it felt maddening to the Task, who before meeting her, had been fairly cold and logical. Meeting his killed had opened a can of worm's the bandaged boy had never experienced before. It was as alluring as it was painful.

"It's.. Only two years.. Difference.." he would say, he didn't think it was that big of a deal, they had known each other for two years already. Even then, between the group and all, it seemed that Revan was one of the more mature of the group, but was there something he was missing? Did two years at this age really mean that much?

Talk to her.. Was it really that simple?

There would be a small huff of air, as Thalis tried to pushed the young Task to Fenes, which wouldn't be bad, but there was clearly some favoritism present.

"I.. Haven't seen Fenes since.. After I fought Valero.. Which was when I spoke to you last.. I.. Believe she is doing well.. Though.. her and Banri spend.. A lot of time together." He would say, possibly alluding to a budding relationship one of his students was going through.

"I.. Thought we made a good team.. I might.. Tend to be abrasive.. And Brash.. And throw myself into danger.. But she is.. Kind.. And loving.. And makes people feel.. Welcomed.. Though she struggles.. With making tough decisions.. I thought.. We could be Partners.. For life.."
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:37] Two years? Thalis's expression scrunches up a bit, a soft huff of amusement escaping him. "Aye, s'not tha' big a gap. Pretty sure m' 'n Bo are 'round tha' kinda gap as well...- 'onestly y' should talk t' 'er 'bout tha' then. See 'ow she feels." Disappointment, however, was tangible in the Ookami's tone... Perhaps he wanted his students together after all.

Drumming his digits against his forearm he'd narrow his gaze at the possibility of Fenes being with some boy in glasses. That didn't sit right with him... Some nerd pairing with an Asenite?

Despicable.

"Well... Don't go 'n say y' should be partners fer life jus' yet, Revan. Y' gotta give this kinda shit time - Feel it out with 'er. If yer both a good fit than aye, fer life, but people ain't always wha' they initially seem like. Talk t''er 'bout it... If y' go on some dates 'n thin's go well then keep 'ammerin' at it."

The Ookami nodded sagely along, clicking his teeth before he continued. "There's definitely somethin', but I'unno wha'. Ain't know th' chick yer talkin' 'bout 'n all after all... Talkin's usually th' best way t' solve this kinda thin'."
(Thalis Avitus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:46] There would be a twinge of hope that gleamed in Revan's golden hues, hearing that Mr. Avitus and his wife were roughly that far apart. Though he was nervous about just.. Talking with her. However- that was what she wanted to do before he stormed off, to talk. Though the bandaged boy was wounded, a fresh cut he wanted to hide away.

Though with his Mentor's guidance, it would begin the stages of healing, though the true remedy would only be found with the guts to go confront Lilith. Thalis would even be kind enough to tell Revan to tone it down a bit, there were not many things he was truly passionate about, and when he found something he was.. He typically took it to a fanatical level- in his mind, things either were, or they weren't.

Hearing the idea of dates, he would begin to wonder that would really entail.. Would their trips together around Esshar count? Or perhaps their one visit to the beach- though with the topics they discussed, it was very unlikely.

With a final sniffle, Revan would wipe his eyes in his palms, as his knuckles weren't quite clean enough for that sort of thing. "I-I understand Mr. Thalis.. I will go talk to her.. And I'll figure out where we stand.. Thank you.. For always being there for me.. And being so gracious with your wisdom."
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:50] There's a brief flash of a smile towards Revan. Was it the right kind of advice to give? Honestly the man couldn't tell too well. A mere bow of his head is given towards Revan as he replied simply.

"S'wha' I'm 'ere t' do, bud. I'm glad y' ain't jus' go off 'n do somethin' reckless when it came t' 'er. Love can make y' do stupid, reckless thin's tha' y'll regret later on. It shows good control tha' y' came up 'ere t' talk t' m' 'bout it."

Those stupid, reckless things had brought him into the Order of the First Light once upon a time. It had led him towards watching a friend burned alive in front of him, shortly a horde of people he knew either dying or merely disappearing before his very eyes.

Stupid, reckless things brought about stupid, reckless rewards.

Thalis's vision glazes overfor a moment before a sharp inhale brings him back to reality. "Jus' keep yer wits 'round y' 'n y'll be fine. If it ain't work out with 'er? Y' go fer Fenes… Maybe take tha' fuckers glasses t' show dominance." Thalis joked, flashing a grin.

"Kiddin', but still... Keep yer 'ead 'igh."
(Thalis Avitus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:59] Before coming back to Theria, the teen felt anger, shame, betrayal, all wrapped into one emotion of sorrowful heartache. He could see why Thalis kept pressing upon him that Love made others do stupid things, he began to understand why emotions where the domain of the winter wolf, and how destructive they could be.

He would reach up for the cast dragon tooth necklace he wore- a gift from Lilith, but he thought of throwing it back at her and calling it quits on the guild. Again, that recklessness that his mentor had mentioned.

He would nod, a smirk forming on his face as Thalis kept trying to push the pairing of Fenes and himself. That's when he would remember his father's one lesson he did teach him about getting a woman.

"Well.. Father always did say.. If you wanted to be with a taken woman.. Just arrange to have their partner killed" The smile wouldn't fade from the macabre joke- if one could even consider it a joke.

".. But I will.. Save that for if things do not work out with Lilith.." Given the advice to keep his head high, Revan would nod, picking up his chin, and with it, his posture would begin to swell up to it's normal stature.

"I will, Mr. Avitus, and again- I'll tell you of any updates I find out about Fenes." Standing from the chair, he would extend a hand to shake his mentor's.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:02] Thalis merely blinked. It was a wise lesson from Dun, honestly, and one he thankfully didn't need to use himself. Instead he just used a silver-tongued… Strange how that worked so very, very well for him. Now the other man was dead and he was living the good life.

Well, relatively.

"Aye, good on y'. I'm sure thin's'll pick up fer y' soon 'nuff. Y' got th' moxie tha' most ain't got... So tha'll get y' far in most endeavors." Thalis nodded sagely, nothing more than a smile gracing his features for the time being.

"Thank y' kindly though. Worry 'bout tha' lil one. Ain't seem like she's got th' 'eart fer wha's 'appenin' in th' world." Reaching forth he'd shake Revan's hand.
(Thalis Avitus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:03] Revan Task says, "Fenes is.. Strong.. In her own ways."
[18:04] Thalis Avitus says, "Aye, she 'as a good 'eart."
[18:04] Revan Task says, "Anyway.. Until next time, take care."
[18:04] Thalis Avitus says, "Aye, y' t'."
[18:30] Lilith watches Revans movements and expressions very carefully
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:31] Fingar taps the quill against the box before placing it away having finished writing his entry and leaving the book open for the ink on the page to dry up.

"Yes. Do you know anything about Falia's situation?"

He'd rest both of his elbows on the table keeping it all casual.

"I didn't want to be so sudden but seeing how things turned out previously the situation still worries me."
(Fingar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:31] Revan would walk into the Guild hall, his posture seemed normal, if his head wasn't held a little higher. Though his knuckles would be bloodied, and his shins would be peppered with splinters. Scanning those present in the room, he would finally settle his gaze on Lilith.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:31] Revan Task asks, "...May we.. Talk?"
[18:32] Lilith Allison says, "Nevermind, no need to chase him down to the ground"
[18:33] Lilith Allison says, "I'll see ya guys later. Show me where ya live next time so I can visit Kendri"
[18:34] Fingar looks over to his right his eyes immediately catching the blood on Revan's knuckles thanks to his sharp eyesight.

"Revan? What happened to you? And where were you?"


(Fingar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:36] Falia?

Scratching his cheek for a moment, the teen would try to recall anything about hearing that word.. But nothing was coming up.

"Apologies, I can't say I've heard of that before. Like I said, it's just a temporary place of residence.. I don't involve myself with the King nor the people there."

The way he said that last bit? It was probably something deeper than just that. Either way, he'd begin to speak out once more until he noticed Revan entering the place. His gaze glided across the teen's figure.

"Leave it be, Fingar.." He'd hold a hand up towards the redhead.

"Go talk, you two. And Revan, apologies for any misunderstandings I may have caused." That said, he would dip his head in a sort of apologetic way.

"I'll show you later, Lily.. When you're free, yeah."
(Kendri)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:37] Lilith Allison exclaims, "Alright, thanks!"
[18:44] Only offering a huff in response to Fingar and Kendri, he would take Lilith to the one space that was all his own- even if he did design much of it to be used by the guild itself.

He wouldn't look directly at her after entering the room, keeping his golden hues glued to the floor. "I.. Want to start by.. Apologizing.. For how I acted earlier." It wasn't often he swallowed his pride to apologize, unless for a misunderstanding, but he would do his best to start off on a good note.

"I.. Was hurt.. And didn't know what to do.. I.. Didn't want to do or.. Say anything that would cause more harm.." He thought that was perhaps the best way to start this conversation, a very slow step as he was still sifting through the array of emotions he felt.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:51] Lilith was still confused as what to do and what she should feel as she entered the room with Revan. Love was something she understood, but falling into love and how to deal with love is something she isn't all that used to yet.

As she entered the room and heard about Revan's apology she would smile. She already knew that saying sorry for him must be hard, he is prideful and values his strength. Because of that, she started to relax.

As Revan would talk about being hurt, she would remember what she said. She didn't mean to reject Revan, it was that she didn't know if she was ready for a relationship at all.

"I... I'm sorry as well. I didn't know what to say and I don't know how to feel yet. It's not like I don't like you... It's just, I don't know if I'm ready." She also didn't want to break Revan's heart if her feelings were to ever change.
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:04] He had turned his back to her, it was easier for him to speak freely this way, easier to determine what he was feeling without getting swept away in those sapphire eyes of hers. It was a little gutting to hear that she didn't know how to feel yet, but also a little reassuring, as he wasn't sure either.

".. I'm.. Sorry for pushing you.. If it was.. Too much at once.." He wouldn't state it explicitly, but one could assume he was speaking of the kiss on the beach. "I.. I have never felt like this.. With anyone.. I never knew my mother.. Never got to grow up knowing what a warm embrace felt like.." He would click his tongue behind his teeth, a little cue hoping to keep his thoughts from getting jumbled.

".. You are.. And incredibly kind person.. Lilly.. You can let go of so much, even to those who try to do wrong by you.. It's.. Something I find confusing.. And.. Very endearing.. You make others feel like they belong..And you make a friend in just about everyone you meet.." Tilting his head back, she would hear as he took a deep breath, letting out a long sigh.

"You make me feel.. Significant.. And.. I wanted that for myself.. I wanted.. Want.. You.. But.. We are.. Two.. Terribly different people.."
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:11] Lilith would listen carefully, thinking about the time they spent together and how much she enjoys being with Revan. It's still confusing for her, not knowing what to do and how to feel but hearing how Revan would compliment her and Revan talking about them being different pains her heart.

She still knows that Revan doesn't think of himself as kind, compassionate, or caring, but him taking the time to bring her to his room to talk and apologize already shows how much he's grown in her eyes.

With Revan's back still turned away from her she would give him a hug. Slowly letting her arms wrap around Revan like the bandages that wrap around him. She doesn't know about her feelings yet, but she knows for sure that she cares.

"You still don't look to highly of yourself huh..." She would say as she closed her eyes and let her head rest on him.

"I really don't care about us being different people. That's not gonna change the fact that I care about you and would die for you. And you know what they say, opposites attract right?"
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:40] Feeling her arms wrap around him, the warmth of her body against his, it was an intimacy he had so desperately craved for years. Gripping his first, he would keep his head bent back, looking towards the ceiling. She wouldn't be able to see it, but he would be blinking furiously, try his best to fight back the tears as he felt such conflict within him.

"That's.. Not it at all.." He would mutter softly, his hand reaching up to lace his fingers with her own. "I think.. So.. Highly of myself.. I look down on others all to often.. Dismissing them as inferiors.." He would confess some of the darker thoughts that cross his mind.

"I.. Speak so shortly sometimes.. Because I feel others are not even worth my breath.. I'm.. Not used to thinking the world of someone.. Looking up to someone.. Thinking- Knowing someone is better than me."

Gripping her hand even tighter, he'd agree with her, and have his reservations. "I.. Thought we made.. Such a wonderful duo.. When we need a delicate touch.. You do.. Such a wonderful job.. And when things get tough.. That's when I take over.."

In a second he would break out of her arms, turning around to finally face her so she could see the bloodshot eyes and tears. "Don't say that. Don't say you'd die for me- I.. I don't believe I would do the same.. And.. There is so much death on this continent.. I want to see you fight.. Through Hel or High water.. To make it back.. To do whatever it takes to survive- and I will do the same.. Anything it takes to keep our fires a raging inferno- rather than being snuffed out."
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:52] Lilith would take a deep breath as she listened to his speech. Listening to each emotion, each stutter and quivering word she would smile at Revan. Lilith would still die for her friends, and she knew she would protect Revan with everything she's got. But she's afraid if Revan knew that, he would try to distance himself and do everything by himself.

"We do make a wonderful duo! And we're able to do so much more together!" She would walk up to Revan and hold his hands

"I will fight Revan, for the things I believe in, for the people I care about, and for the guild that we made together. I'll do all that and survive, so don't worry about me at all... The fire in my blood will not be put out, you have my word"

She would then pull Revan in for a hug. She needed the comfort, and she knew Revan needed it as well. Just staying there, listening to his breathing, would calm her down and reassure her thoughts about the future.

"I-I don't know if you and I could be a couple yet... I don't even know what I feel yet. But, I do know I care about you, and that I want to spend more time with you. I'm happy I met you and got to know you."
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:02] Lilith Allison says, "Memorable cause he kept saying that in the Theria town square"
[20:12] Lilith was right, they could do far more together than either of them apart. That enough was displayed at the meeting with Zupak, it was a connection she made herself, but the actual alliance was forged with Revan's critical mind.

There was a warmth growing in his chest the more she spoke of fire and fighting. He had never experienced such a thing as love, but with such an array of emotions he was feeling- the recklessness he felt as a result, a telltale sign according to his Mentor, that's all he could imagine it could be.

Being pulled into a hug, it was something he liked receiving- though hearing how Lev and Rei were hugging, and the controversy it caused, he thought it was something more naughty than it really was. However, in this one instance, he would wrap his arms around her tightly, resting his chin on her head.

Enjoying the warmth, as time seemed to melt away in each other's embrace, she would hear his breathing calm, and his heart rate at a steady thump. His expression would soften hearing her final words.

"I.. Am thankful I met you too.. And I hope to only learn more about you.. And grow together.. It's.. Okay.. if you do.. Not wish to be a couple immediately.. Maybe we could.. Go on a few dates.. First?" He would suggest, following his Mentor's advice, taking things slow. "And do me one favor.. If you find.. These feelings you have.. Are not love.. Then I beg you.." He would lean back to meet her eyes, making sure his point was made thoroughly.

"Break my heart. Thoroughly."
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:20] Lilith would just enjoy the time she spent in Revan's embrace, happy to just be here in this moment. She would smile as Revan would suggest dating and going slowly. She didn't dislike him, nor hate him, so she would be happy to.

But as she hears what she has to do if the feelings she feels aren't love, she would hug him more tightly. She doesn't know if she can break Revan's heart, she cares about him too much.

"I wouldn't mind a date... But breaking your heart... Isn't something I think I can ever do... Please don't say something like that"

She would then tear up a little. She can't imagine hurting someone so much, breaking someone's heart to make a point. Just the thought was enough to make her start to cry.
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:32] Thalis's advice would be a life saver here, hearing that she wouldn't mind a date made his heart flutter, a smile forming on his face. Though as she would recede into his arms, tears welling up in her eyes, he would hold her closely, just letting her enjoy the safety of his presence.

Waiting for felt like the most blissful eternity, he would back away, cupping her cheek in his bandaged hand as he would move some stray hairs from her face to meet her eyes.

"Please. I'm asking for my sake.. Do not spare my feelings.. Breaking my heart may hurt, but it will be better than never being able to move past how I feel for you." He would say in a soft tone, almost sweet.

His honey hues meeting her sapphire, there would be a brief moment where his gaze would dip down to her lips, the temptation ever present to snatch another kiss. Though instead, his hand would drop from her cheek, following down her arm to take her hand again and bring it up.

"Do this for me.. And I.. Pink promise.. We will always be friends.. No matter what."
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:37] Lilith would grab onto Revan's hand and look him in the eyes. She still didn't know if she could do it, but she would nod slowly, wanting to assure him.

She would then rub her tears and calm herself down. She was crying a lot more often than she wanted now, and she doesn't know if that's a good thing.

"I... I'll try my best" She would then smile at Revan, taking and tangling their pinkies together she would then say

"Well, pinky promise me that you and I will always be friends, no matter what happens to us or what trials we go through"


(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:38] Revan Task says, "I pinky promise."
[20:38] Revan Task says, "Now.. No more tears"
[20:38] Lilith Allison says, "Y-You have to say the whole thing"
[20:39] Revan Task says, "I prinky promise that you and I will always be friends, no matter what happens to us, or what trials we go through."
[20:39] Lilith smiles and wipes the rest of her tears away
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:39] Lilith Allison says, "Alright, now I'm happy"
[20:40] Revan pulls Lilith into another hug.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:40] Revan Task asks, "Okay.. I have somewhere to be now- but I'll be back, okay?"
[20:40] Lilith Allison says, "Okay... I'll be walking around meeting new people as usual"
[20:41] Lilith hugs Revan back
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:41] Revan Task says, "Have fun with that. "
[20:42] Lilith Allison says, "You too... Don't do anything dumb"
[20:42] Revan Task says, "... I never do."
[20:42] Lilith shakes her head
