"oi!! don't'cha dare take that tone with me when his life is in my hands!! d'you want me t'just let him die then?!" she snapped at the bird. really now, demanding something of her when she was the one holding all the cards? how foolish. as she listened to their words she sighed deeply. this was all because of a job? "ya really are stupid, aren't'cha? th'dragon's tear necklace is a sacred item bestowed upon only th'most unfortunate of souls. a blessing given to those who live as though they are cursed.....even if you'd stolen it, it's magic would only work for me..." she said as she knelt beside him. she looked over his injury and sighed. she'd have to use life magic. oh joy....incredible weakness after all that? lovely. "fine, I'll heal his sorry ass....but just so ya know. I can always sense th'direction my necklace is in since it's bound t'me, so you're not gonna get away with it even if ya don't give it back." she said. she grumbled something about 'stupid assholes' before she gently placed her hands on the injury and began healing it. she patiently healed every part of the wound, her touch gentle and delicate, signaling in a way how she was as a lover and possibly making this embarrassing for everyone but her. when she finished, she stood up and held out her hand to him. "now give it back...you've lost, if ya don't give it back I'll just chase ya for th'rest of your life....I don't give a damn about it's value, it's all I have t'remind me of my dad, so let me have it back...." she said. the anger had faded from her expression but the hurt and sadness hadn't. she looked incredibly hurt still by what he had done and wouldn't be forgiving it all that readily. those sad green eyes told how much she missed her father and hinted at the fact that she watched him be murdered. she missed him, she truly did, but that necklace made her feel that he wasn't entirely gone from her life and made losing him that much easier to bare. she seemed as though she may cry if he refused to give it back but she wouldn't actually allow herself to.

Raiden growled like a dog at the woman that was showing signs of refusal. When the tables changed and the wound was healed.. the bird was relieved and noticed how Ace felt. "Ryuu.. you like her don't you?" Ace blushed as he heard those words come from his bird. Refusing to open his eyes till the touch was gone. Slowly he got up... groaning as his leg hurt and panting a little when he stood. Just holding out his black cloth bag to her. Ace regretted accepting the job he had.. what a fool he had been. This was the only time he had been caught and he did not know how this had happened. Being able to since the necklace was likely the only reason this woman had found him. "Raiden... we'ah should uh leave now..." The bird rolled it's eyes and took the sky once more. "I'm going back" said Raiden, as he flew back in the direction of the place they had stayed. In the cloth back the woman would find the name and number, of the man and woman who hired him. Suddenly Ace told her where to meet the people... it was only right he told her.. "Was not paid for silence.. not that I'ah offered it fer uh sell precisely" he said, as he smiled that charming smile of his. Stumbling forward a little bit.. "'Tis not fair.." he whined, softly under his breath.. his voice sounding like a song birds.. it was lovely to hear really. Looking back up to the woman and putting on a lovely smile.. he always had lovely smiles in truth. Moving closer he took her hand gently and kissed the back of it. "Sorry 'bout all tha trouble an'ah all but I'uh gotta work fer a livin' an'ah all so I uh.. sorry 'bout uh takin' yer possession an'uh all but I'ah just was'a told tah but uh ya can uh find 'em if yah want."

hearing the bird say the other liked her, she snorted. "ya won't get very far stealin' from me, that's for sure. aren't guys supposed t'give flowers t'girls they like? never happened t'me but that's what people say is supposed t'happen." she said as she healed him. this was new but as far as her love life was concerned it wasn't to surprising. people just liked to use her so in a way she was used to this. when she finished and he gave her his bag, she opened it and smiled as she took out her necklace and placed it back around her neck then looked at the name and number of the people who had wanted her necklace taken. when he took her hand and kissed it, she gaped at him a bit. no one had ever kissed her hand before. she quickly snapped out of it and listened to his words then went to the edge of the building, readying to jump off. "Ryuu......" she said softly, though loud enough for him to hear. "twice I have held your life in my hands, and twice I have given it back.....that third time....your life is mine..." she said, her long red hair flowing beautifully and effortlessly in the wind. she then gave him one last glance before jumping off the building. when she landed on the ground, she set off at a dead run. she was already feeling the effects of the life magic taking their toll. she had to get back to her room before she felt the full effects on her body. damn life magic! why did it have to harm the user so? she growled under her breath and rushed off towards her suite.

Ace simply smiled softly as she spoke to him and he knew Raiden had ignored her.. though he was not sure what she had said. "Not uh entirely 'un. I mean I'ah fine so long uh Raiden aint'uh hurt or'ah anythin' like that." Just being honest and saying that just before she lept from the building. Waiting awhile before he scaled down himself and went to get her a meal. Good thing he had enough money.. unknowingly he seemed to pick out the thing she would like best. Turning back in the direction of the building and rushing quickly to it. It took time but he got there and soon enough and went to the room number that he remembered. Picking the lock and going inside, "Brought some food~" he purred, as he looked around and spotted Raiden. "Yes.. I got ya'ah some tah so hush" he said, and sat the meal on the table. Raiden sure did love rabbits and so he gave the rabbit to his bird. Tilting the cup of tea up and letting Raiden drink some of it. "Yah alright 'un?" Looking to the woman that was right there and smiling rather sweetly at her. "Sorry 'bout tha jewel an' all but I'ah was uh hired tah take it an' I'ah never been caught like dat or anythin' so yeah.." Smiling that lovely smile once more and pulling a chair out for her to sit in. "Come on an' uh sit" he said, as he smiled rather sweetly at her as he waited for her to sit down. If she needed the help with it, then he helped her and only sat once she was seated

hearing his response, she chuckled a bit. "I do not have t'end your life t'take it." she said simply, though now with his words repeated over and over again 'so long as Raiden isn't hurt' and what she had seen moments before, she could assume that he and the bird were joined somehow and now had a good idea how to kill him if she ever needed to. she rushed back to her suite and by the time she got there she could barely stand. she was dizzy and weak from using life magic on such a bad injury. "how th'hell does Rikku do this all th'time?" she wondered to herself. weakly, she pulled a sketchbook from her bag and opened it to a portait of an incredibly handsome young man. she smiled warmly as she gazed at his picture which was coloured in skillfully -and perhaps tediously- with what appeared to be pencil crayons. he had dirty blonde hair with natural blonde highlights, luscious pink lips, a creamy, very lightly tanned complexion, long black eyelashes, and brilliant green eyes. "you'd be proud of me....I got my necklace back from a thief and instead of killing him, I saved his life....I know how ya always preferred peace t'violence..." she said to him with a small amile. she laid her head down beside him and was about to close her eyes when she heard someone at her door. she lifted her head and gave a surprised yelp when once again Ace entered her room. "what th'hell are ya doin' here?!" she cried, jumping to her feet, ready to hit him, but she suddenly staggered, her fists unclenching and one hand reaching up to touch her head as she groaned softly. 'dammit....I'm no good like this....' she thought miserably, running a hand through her long hair. she watched as he placed a meal on the table and she picked up her sketchbook and staggered over to the table, sniffing the food. "is that....midami?" she asked, looking at it longingly. she loved the stir-fry dish. hesitantly she sat down opposite him, placing the sketchbook out on the table where it could easily be seen. it was still on the page where the handsome young man was portrayed, his gentle smile quite pleasing to see. not completely sure, she took a bite of the meal and thought about it as she chewed, not speaking until she'd swallowed. "well, it's not poisoned and there's nothing in it t'make me sleep....not that it matters if there were since I've built up immunity t'most things." she said. in truth she had expected him to poison it and try for her necklace again, but the sensors in her nano technology hadn't gone off she there was likely nothing in it. she looked to her sketchbook once more and smiled, sliding it over to Ace. "what'cha think of this? his name is Chidame." she said with a soft smile which showed her affection for the holder of that name. since they didn't look too much alike and Chidame couldn't have been more than 16 or 17 in the portrait, one wouldn't be able to tell that this boy was Naomi's father, or even relative, but it was clear she held alot of affection for him.

Watching the girl with a gentle smile as she sat down and Raiden nodded his heading a pleased way. Pulling a pure diamond, the most expensive of all, out of his pocket and going behind her. It was a heart and rose design, gently he moved her long hair out of the way. Placing the necklace on and fastening it, kissing the top of her head. "Don't'ah worry 'un I did not do anything ta it, I would not~" Ace smiled happily as moved to his own seat and sat down. "Anythin' I'uh can get yah?" Smiling happily as he started to eat his own meal then looked at the sketch. Mouth falling wide open, "OH!!! He uh hot!!!!!" Ace blushed deeply as he swallowed and looked back to his meal. Eating it and trying to pretend he had not gone and said that all of a sudden. Swallowing as he just kept eating his own meal and did not say anything else. Blushing more and more if Naomi said anything at all. Raiden seemed to be laughing in his own lovely way.. though Ace's laugh is the same and just as lovely if not more so. Looking back up to Naomi when he had finished his own meal and waited for her to finish her own. "I'll uh.. wash these.. okay?" If there was a place to do so in here he gathered the dishes and washed everything.. course he had put the meal on actual plates and all. Going back over to Naomi and looking at the sketch once more. "Um.. is he.. uh.. yah know.. single?" Tears beaded in his eyes the moment he learned the male was dead.. if he did learn this at all. Wiping his eyes and smiling sadly at Naomi and suddenly he jut wrapped his arms around the woman. "I uh.. I'ah.. I'm sorry" he said, kissing her cheek.

when the other approached her with a necklace, she watched him warily but hesitantly allowed him to place it around her neck, making perfectly sure once he had left that her dragon's tear necklace was still around her neck. "it's nice.....thank ya....." she said managing a small smile. why had he given this to her? was he feeling guilty for taking her necklace. when she showed him the picture of Chidame, she laughed heartily at his response. "yeah, he's very handsome, but he's also kind, and smart, and gentle....he could also sing very beautifully and tell stories with such passion that you actually believed you were right there where he was describing, witnessing what th'characters in th'story were doing. he also gave some of th'best hugs I've ever had.....it felt....so warm and safe t'be in his arms.....I coulda stayed there all my life if he'd let me...." she said. when she spoke of him, her eyes became soft and child-like, so very different from the cool, tough way she normally looked. she so obviously held affection for this man. Ace went and took the dishes away and cleaned them and when he came back and asked if Chidame was single, she smiled a bit sadly. "I imagine Chidame and Kyoki are happily living together in the hereafter....my mother Kyoki died giving birth to my brother, and Chidame, my father...he was ripped from our home one night after her death, stripped naked, marched through town then brought back to our lawn and forced to watch as those elf haters set fire to our home with both me and my baby brother still inside before they finally beheaded him............" he voice was sad when she spoke of this and there was a haunted quality to it. it was clear from the details she had given that she had witnessed her father's death. she sighed softly, she hated remembering it, that terrified look on Chidame's face when they set fire to the house, his scream out of fear for his children and the way it was distorted in that awful way when they suddenly lopped his head off. she gently touched her necklace and it glowed faintly in response to her feelings as though it were comforting her. she flinched slightly out of surprise when he put his arms around her, but soon eased into the embrace. "it was......a long time ago...I was 3 but I recall it vividly....I wish I didn't but.....it's th'past and there's nothin' I can do about it so I just try not t'think about it........ya can see though, why my necklace is so precious t'me, right? he gave it t'me a few days after my mother died...he gave it t'me at her funeral and another one was kept safe until my brother was old enough t'wear it...these necklaces are our most precious possessions as we have very little left of our parents...I could only grab a few things including my brother....everything else....all th'memories.....burned....th'scar on my back is from a wooden beam falling on me as I tried t'escape our home with my brother....I should've died but....well.....I won't tell ya wha happened just yet....ya might think I'm crazy if I tell ya how I got out alive." she said. she didn't really blame people who didn't believe her. among the smoke and flames, she saw a winged man appear...an angel....he lifted the beam from her body and helped her to stand and pick up her backpack which held her baby brother and what few belongings she had grabbed and urged her to run. she had painted that man many, many times and she often wondered if she would ever see his face again. she sighed softly though this time it was just a sigh and not out of sadness. gently she rubbed his arm with one hand, just a light and affectionate touch, a means of thanks for the hug she had needed.

Ace held her close and started to sing a lovely soft bird song, god it was so lovely when he sang like this. It was not in a human language but a birds, suddenly, Raiden joined in and it was even better with two. As if Raiden had waited for the right moment to join. Soon they finished the little song that had sang, he kept holding her close as he could. Kissing her head, "It'ah gonna be alright" he said, though he knew not why. Letting her go he pulled his chair closer to her and sat down. Tilting his head cutely, "Wanna talk?" Not sure what there was to talk about but he had been so mad when he heard what happened. That being why he had not said anything at all, "Shush Raiden" he murmured, the bird stopped making that little song. It was a song that was rather bluntly.. well, he thinks the girl is pretty and so does Ace. "Why ya go an uh help me like uh ah did?" Ace was curious about this, "I mean I uh would been ah fine an uh all" Seeming like he was not the best with speaking. "Sorry about the necklace an'uh all, I gotta do my'uh job so yeah." How true, Ace had to do the job he had been given. He is a thief and does have to listen to people when he is given a job. Not thinking that he should turn it down or anything like that, there seemed to be no reason. It was a necklace and he had not know that the thing was this important. "That really a uh lovely on yah" he said, smiling prettily as he looked that the young woman. Wondering what she would say to him, if he had screwed any chance of a possible friendship up or something like that.

as she sat there thinking of her father, Ace suddenly began singing a bird song. she tipped her head back to see his face and it wasn't long until Raiden joined in as well. this made her smile a bit. it was comforting to hear music as it took her mind off the gruesome memory of her father's head being removed from his shoulders. she relaxed some and let her become level with the table once more. when the song came to an end, the man kissed her head and told her it would be alright. she nodded. "yeah, I know it will be...I think I just miss him is all....my parents were amazing people and me and my brother would have grown up so well if they had been able t'raise us." she said. she watched as he pulled his chair close to her and raised an eyebrow when asked if she wanted to talk. again she wondered why he was being so friendly with her now, thinking he either felt guilty or wanted to steal from her again once she fell asleep. she opened her mouth to say something when she noticed Raiden singing another song and Ace told him to be quiet. "what was that song for?" she asked, not knowing it was Raiden's way of saying they both thought she was pretty. she took a moment to stretch herself, tipping her head back all the way and her shoulders moving back a bit. her bust pressed forward as she arched her back a bit to stretch the muscles in it. in an incredibly smooth, lovely motion, she lifted her hand up and placed it on her neck, running it slowly downward, between her breasts and down her stomach before letting it rest at her side once more. she lifted her head back up and looked at him with a startlingly sensual gaze to her green eyes, her luscious red lips slightly parted. the girl oozed sexuality and could easily stop a man dead in his tracks. though this was not at all her intent at the moment, oh my, no. she had thought before that Ace was cute, but like hell did his looks matter when he had stolen from her. he could be the most beautiful man in any realm, but he would not be getting sex anytime soon after that. he asked her why she had helped him and she shrugged. "I dunno.....your bird was pretty determined that I save ya for one thing.....I'm not sure really....maybe I'm going soft or something. usually when someone steals from me I torture 'em a little, then kill 'em.....dunno why I chose t'rescue your ass for th'second time tonight....maybe I'm just a spectacularily nice person?" she said, causing herself to laugh heartily. she honestly didn't know why she had saved him. she paused and thought about it for a moment, closing her eyes so that only her long, thick black eyelashes could be seen. "fate." she said. "fate is th'reason. sometimes we do something we normally wouldn't do and it changes our lives in some way. maybe we were destined t'cross paths and I was meant t'spare ya.....I imagine ya were meant t'do more in this life than we as mere mortals know at this point. th'goddess of fate says everything happens for a reason and though I think some things are just senseless, I think she must be right in this case." she said, her voice slightly soft at the moment. so it was fate that they meet.....then what was their fate? she pondered this a bit but tried not to give it too much thought. maybe they would be friends? that was still somewhat possible.....lovers? ha! she would have to truly fall in love with him in order for her to even consider bedding him when he had stolen from her. yes, she would have to be head over heels if he were to get anywhere with her now and in order for that to happen, he'd really have to turn on the charm at this point. he apologized about the necklace and she gave him a slightly serious and worrisome look. "just don't steal from me or my brother after this or else I won't go after ya, I'll go after Raiden." she said, basically letting him know she was onto his little secret and that the bird would die if she or Rikku was stolen from by this man. hearing the necklace was lovely on her, she smiled a bit. "which one?" she asked, playing with one and then the other. she had to admit she liked the new necklace he had given her. "kinda sad that th'only time I've ever gotten jewelery from a guy it's 'cause he stole from me and felt bad about it." she said, admitting that this was the first time she had ever been given jewelery by a man. well, Halliway gave her a gold bracelet for her birthday one year in highschool, but she didn't think a birthday present from her gay best friend really counted. she smoothed back her hair a bit and took her sketchbook once more and flipped the page, showing him. on this page Chidame was laying down on a smooth, white surface that was hard to tell if it was a table or a floor. his hair which reached to his shoulderblades in this sketch was left loose and spread out beneath him. his one hand was behind his head which was slightly tilted to the side and the other rested upon his bare chest. his pretty pink lips were parted slightly as he gazed up from the page into the eyes of those who looked down at him. his body was lithe with a nice curve to his waist, his muscles showing he was fairly fit, yet not being strongly defined giving the impression of a slightly more female sense of fitness though he did look quite male still. his skin had a very light tan like the last picture and perk pink nipples upon his chest. his skin was smooth and looked incredibly soft to touch. his one leg was positioned with his knee up and his foot on the surface, while his other leg lay flat on the surface, disappearing at the end of the page. he wore a simple pair of shorts in the picture and the necklace Naomi wore now was around his neck. it was quite apparent that good looks ran in her family. "my mother took a picture of this when they were about my age. she saw him laying around his house when she went t'visit him and said he looked like a model so she asked him t'pose for her. I found th'picture when I learned my mom had a vault of old stuff in th'warehouse. I cracked th'safe myself and found precious things they'd stored away and lots and lots of pictures. I sketched a few of them but I haven't had th'time t'sketch 'em all yet." she said. she smiled a bit as she gazed down at the boy that became her rather. "he really was handsome, wasn't he? honestly I think if I were ever t'date someone, I'd like t'date a guy like him....he was kind and gentle and brave...I've tried t'mimic him and th'way he lived, but I'm kinda aggressive....I'm not capable of turning th'other cheek when someone does me wrong....but still, I try." she said. in truth she was a fair bit like her father though he was much more peaceful a person and more relaxed in some senses. she stared at the picture for a moment then smiled. his life may have been cut short, but in the 3 short years she knew him, he had made a big impression on her and made her into a better person than she ever could have been without him.

Going rigid as the woman mentioned she would no longer go after him but, his heart, Raiden. Raiden made a growling sound and noticed how rigid Ace had become. Shuddering as he thought about this, he really did not wish to be dead anytime soon.. at least not before... not before, he finds someone that can love him and that he can love. Being a thief did not make this to easy, "I'uh just had tah do my job...." It was true that he had to do his job, he had not turned it down and thus, had to complete it. He ahd tried at least, it was hard to not just try, he may as well after all. Sending Raiden a 'should we run?' glance, Raiden seemed to be thinking the same thing. Neither were comfortable around her like they had been. Now they were on edge and looking for any reason that told them they ought to get the hell out of there. "He is.... really, really hot.... so ah very hot...." not noticing he was saying that when his eyes fell on the open sketch book again. Ace's mind went to other places and caused his cheeks to turn adoreably scarlet. Why did he think of something like that?! The guy is dead! Nothing is going to happen! Besides, why in hell would the guy want to do that with him?! Ace swallowed nervously as he glanced to Naomi, the blush dulled but still there. "I'ah can uh go if yah want me tah.." Not sure if he shoudl stay or run and hide from this woman. After her threat to kill him and his bird, he cleary was not going to say near as much. Now Ace talked a lot, anyone could figure that out, but, his life had been threatened and that set him on edge. Not as sure about this now, he suddenly took Naomi's hand with great gentleness. Lifting it up and kissing it, then getting up and kissing her cheek. Slowly he let her hand fall from his own, "Thank yah fer uh not killin' Raiden, will uh go now.. I guess.." Suddenly Raiden spoke, "So you can your hormones and your thoughts again?" Ace blushed deep red and looked at Raiden, "You little..! Shut up Raiden!!" The two were clearly going to argue again.

seeing the response she'd gotten for saying she would harm Raiden, she waved her one hand a bit. "relax, relax, I was just testing a theory. I'd been thinking that his living seemed t'have somethin' t'do with your own life and based on that reaction, I was right. some kind of symbiotic relationship. I'm srry, I didn't think you'd tell me if I just directly asked ya....though I'll be pretty damn pissed if ya do steal from my family again. whether he is your familiar or another part of ya or whatever he is, I don't have any quarrel with him so I don't see any need t'harm him. I am not so heartless as t'hurt one who's done nothin' wrong t'me." she said simply. she was indeed just making sure she was right about what she thought of Raiden. she wouldn't hurt someone that didn't deserve it. so she couldn't kill Ace, so what? that didn't mean she couldn't beat the living fuck out of him if he ever stole from her again. at being told he had to do his job, she sighed a bit. "sometimes I have a job t'do but th'person helps me, so I cancel th'job....ya gotta follow th'thief's code. if someone truly helps ya, for example they save your life or do what I did for ya in th'hotsprings, then ya owe 'em one and ya cancel th'job. there is a certain level of nobility t'being a Maihitan thief. like th'rule that'cha never steal from someone poorer than yourself or a dying person while they're still alive. I can understand having t'complete a job, but acting like a petty human world thief is no good around here." she said. she strongly believed n following the Maihitan's thief's code and hated to see someone betray it. when she showed him that lovely picture of her father he commented on how hot he was and soon blushed, making her chuckle. "my, my, were we having naughty thoughts? if you'd been around when he was 16 you'd have had a good chance. he was bi and perfectly happy t'be with either a male or a female." she informed him. she found it amusing how hot he found her father and wondered to herself if he was gay since he acted awkward around her nstead of attracted....though that could just be because she'd threatened to kill his bird. when told they would go, she raised an eyebrow. "look, I was just lying about killing Raiden, I said I have no intention of killing him unless he betrays my trust like ya had. I only harm th'one that does me wrong." she said. at what Raiden said, she laughed. "hey, blame my dad, he's just too pretty for some people." she said in an amused tone. she wasn't really seeing any obvious signs that he was attracted to her anyway. after all, here she was sitting in her underwear and he hadn't ogled her like almost every other man she'd ever met had when they got the chance to. ah, well...it's not like it mattered. he wasn't gonna get anything from her anytime soon after stealing from her anyway....cute or not.

"I'm his heart" Raiden chimed, in with pride as he flew over and landed on the table. "Raiden!" Ace said, obviously worried about what Raiden had just told. Putting a hand over his heart, it was not really there, it pulsated in that area but was not really beating. Swallowing nervously as he glanced at his living heart, "Raiden yah can't go an'uh tell her'ah that..." Raiden shrugged his wings and just looked up at his body, "Get over it, she seems like she already has a good idea of the fact I'm your living heart.. may as well go an tell the girl. Also, girl, he thinks your very beautiful." Raiden would have been smirking at how red Ace turned suddenly. The elf looked away and shifted nervously, not saying a word at all. Then the code came up and he groaned as he was lectured, "It was shiny" Ace whined. "It was shiny, I knew would take it, it was shiny and it was only natural he would do so.. he also does want to steal shiny things for some reason.." Raiden was shaking his head as he said all of that. As true as it may be even the the bird found it annoying. "Forgive him, knowing him, he would have actually brought it back.. he wanted to go off and examine it and try to figure out its properties was all." The bird was speaking the truth. The matter adjusted once more and the girl was speaking of Chidame again. "Really?" Asking that once he learned he may have had a chance with the boy. Swallowing shyly, not responding to the matter of joking about killing Raiden. Slinking off and laying down on his side on the bed, looking at them but not saying anything at all. Raiden looked at the girl, "He is also a virgin, he has never kissed, He wants to save all that for the person he loves. Do not tell him I told you. He also loves flowers, home cooked meals, soda, birds like me, kids.. you get the picture.." Raiden was speaking loud enough for the girl to hear, he had perched on her shoulder and had been whispering in her ear.

hearing that the bird was his heart, Naomi was a bit surprised to know that. she had thought he was his familiar or something. though she had already figured out that one could not live without the other. at the small argument between the two, she shook her head. "relax, I already figured out most of it, I just didn't know that he was your heart is all." she said. when told that Ace thought she was very beautiful, she chuckled. "does he now? I had thought he had no interest since he wasn't acting like most guys do." she said honestly. when she brought up the code and she was told he liked it because it was shiny, she sighed a bit, but when Raiden told that he was likely going to give it back and that she should forgive him, she ran a hand through her hair a bit. "well, alright, if you'd have really given it back, I guess I can forgive it....just don't take anything else without asking first." she said. she really didn't like it when people 'borrowed' things from her without her permission. when they spoke of Chidame, Ace asked if he really would have had a chance and she nodded. "yeah, I really think so." she replied. she was quite certain her father would have liked the sweet side to Ace. when Ace moved to the bed, Raiden perched upon her shoulder and spoke softly to her. she was surprised to hear that Ace was a virgin and had never been kissed. as far as she could tell, he was a few years older than her. it was strange, but she didn't really judge him for it or anything. when told the things he liked, she nodded. "I must admit, I like alot of those things too." she said. she yawned a bit and got up, staggering to the bed and sitting down on her own side of it. when Raiden left her shoulder, she laid down and pulled the silk blankets up over her, smiling at the feel of them on her skin. this time she kept the necklaces on just in case. she moved over closer to Ace so she could feel if his weight was removed from the bed, but it likely just seemed like she was cuddling up a little. "we should get some rest. it's been a hell of a night." she said, closing her eyes.

Ace had not been able to focus well suddenly, he had gone to the bed and just laid down on it. Not even being aware of what Raiden had just told the women. Busy thinking about the person that had been on that sketch pad. What he had learned and about what had happened.. he was upset by that. Being an elf, he had been treated that way and he hates it. Maybe that was another reason he got really nervous if he was ever pushed to do something he does not wish to. Everyone that he dates always expects him to have sex or kiss them when he does not want to... it is not fair. Raiden sighed sadly and moved to be perched by Ace's head. Eventually making a nest out of the blankets beside the elf. "Your thinking about this again, are you not?" "Yeah" " You should not, you know?" "I know Raiden" "It is not worth thinking about the people that would only push you to do those things, you are worth more than this.. you know this." "I guess" "No, you know, you do not guess, Ryuu. I am my own being despite our lives being connected. I know that you are worth more, and stop being so shy around the girl, I know you like men better but, I am aware you think she is beautiful................... Oh my.. you did not blush... you are troubled... oh... do not think about that!" Raiden was suddenly worried about Ace, he was thinking about how he had met a similar event to the one that caused Chidame to die. "It shall not happen again, I do not wish for it to happen again. Yes, you have met a event similar to Chidame but, you are not dead.. stop thinking on this Ryuu... it is the past... it can not be changed.. you are alive that is what matters." Raiden was concerned about Ace and that was very clear. "Ryuu come now, you must not... why do not you sleep?" "Okay..." with that Ace closed his eyes and soon enough he fell into slumber. Raiden had made a lovely song that made it easy to fall asleep. "Sleep well Ryuu, pleasant dreams" Raiden said, with a large yawn before he dozed off himself.

as Naomi drifted off to sleep, she heard something and her ears perked slightly. they were talking? they must have thought she was already asleep. she listened in, but gave no sign of being awake. she was a damned good actress and faking being asleep was nothing to her. she felt badly hearing that people would push Ace for what they wanted -she assumed sex-. however, she knew she was not like that herself, she would admit, she could come on pretty strong and she was sometimes a tease and practically ALWAYS a flirt, but if she tried to make a move on someone and they got uncomfortable, she stopped, apologized, and made sure to ask if they were alright with it the next time she tried anything. she wasn't too good with day-to-day boundaries being feral, but she would never overstep such personal boundaries regarding sex, kissing, and so on. she was better than that, she was -despite being female- a gentleman. she only barely managed to keep her face calm when she learned that Ace had had an experience similar to her father's. such horrible things people did to others over silly things like race and religion. being half elf and having witnessed her father's death, she had always hated those kinds of people and that hatred only grew stronger with each day that passed by. finally the conversation came to a close and Raiden sang another bird song, putting Ace to sleep and making Naomi all the more drowsy. the bird went to sleep and shortly, so did she. her dreams were peaceful and somewhere in the night she had pulled Ace into a very loving and sweet embrace as she slept. when she awoke in the morning, she yawned softly and gently kissed the young man's shoulderblade before she remembered who he was and removed her arms so quickly one would think Ace had the plague. she looked at him for a moment and found that he was still asleep. carefully she got off the bed, her movements so flawless from learning not to set off alarms and traps that she could move around without waking either of them. she tiptoed into the bathroom and had a quick shower, coming back out naked and toweling off her long red hair. even if he did wake up and see her naked, she really couldn't care less. she wasn't ashamed of her body in any way and she didn't see a need to be, no matter how 'normal people' acted regarding nudity. she snuck over to the dresser and pulled out a black corset top and a pair of dark demin short shorts. she slipped on some black silk underwear and dressed before going downstairs. as she walked, she remembered what Raiden had said about Ace liking homecooked meals. the way he sounded last night during his conversation with Raiden made her think he needed to be cheered up. she went into the kitchens and smooth talked the workers into letting her make her own breakfast. she cooked omlettes with Maihitan vegetables, a little garda meat, and cheese as well as various herbs. when she finished she put them onto plates and got some sodas -despite one chef chastizing her that she should drink something healthy like juice with breakfast- and began to head off. then she remembered something else...Raiden said Ace liked flowers, right? she took her tray out to the gardens of the hotel and looked at the roses there. when she found one that looked perfect, she cut it using one of the knives that were on the tray and took it with her. she walked back up the stairs and snuck back into their room. she sat the tray on the nightstand on Ace's side and gently shook his shoulder, trying to wake him. "Ryuu....it's time for breakfast honey...." she said gently, surprising herself. wait, wasn't she supposed to be mad at him for stealing her necklace? why was she so nice to this guy? naturally, though her gesture was charming and seemed romantic, she had actually just done it to make Ace feel better, a platonic gesture of friendship. she may be tough on the outside, but she was incredibly sweet deep down.
