"Grandma? Can we go? This is boring....."
The little girl holding on to her skirt tugged on it gently to get the elderly woman's attention. The woman politely excused herself from the conversation to look down at her grandchild, little Daelene was 5 1/2 years old, her long light brown hair was pulled up and out of her face and her dark blue eyes were glazed over slightly, a little from boredom, a little from being forced to wear this dress...but her grandma didn't know she was wearing shorts and a t-shirt underneath it...she is a beautiful little girl, with a small scar under her right eye...a relic of a past she'd rather forget...She was clutching her brown Teddy bear close to her and looking up at her grandmother expectantly.
"Not right now Dae, maybe in a little bit, things are finally starting to get exciting"
Her grandma said in a excited voice before she turned back to the group. Dae sighed and rolled her eyes, Her Grandma and her 'clubs'...she was constantly looking for the next big cult...it made her 'feel young again'. She had always loved stuff like this...And apparently Nove was her new Hero to worship...quite honestly, it drove Dae crazy...she was always being drug to one meeting or another...
Grown-ups...yeesh...and they say kids are crazy...Dae didnt understand the draw that these 'clubs' held...all it seemed to her was a bunch of people gathered together chatting and dressing up....It was like playing House all over again...
Dae turned from her preoccupied Grandmother to glance around the room, the only mildly exciting thing that had happened at ALL tonight-from her standpoint- was that the lights went out...and she had almost been trampled...and now she could see people talking and walking around talking and eating and talking, and well....TALKING.
One thing was true...these 'club meetings' attracted a weird crowd, so far tonight she had seen a rather pale looking fellow, and a guy with no shoes on...
Hugging her bear tightly with her free arm she wondered...Would her life EVER be normal?

Rion decided against serving drinks as someone hoping to have his place as Nove's right-hand man leapt up to do it, unaware that Nove would have found it in bad taste for one of he guests to start making drinks. It filled a need that shouldn't have been there in the first place. Instead, Rion turned his attention to a marvelous creature unlike any he encountered during his dealings with Nove. A creature not distracted by looks or social class or gossip.
"Hello," he greeted her with a smile, kneeling so he was eye-level with the child. Nove would have slaughtered him for speaking to a child when there were more important people to mingle with, but Rion wasn't finding himself very afraid of that lately. "My name is Rion. What's your name? And- oh," his eyes slid to the teddy bear. "Whose this?" he asked in mock suspicion. --
Nove wondered from one group to another, trying to get to the window so he could see what his lackies were doing. Though crossing the street was a difficult activity not even to be attempted by anyone under two-years-old, he had been moderately certain they, in a group, could have collectively discovered how to do it. - Back on the street, the snobby group which had been held up by the katana swinging lunatic were... still there. Instead of pulling out a gun, a woman in the group pulled out her cellphone.
"I'm calling the police," she declared, her cloak flowing in the breeze to reveal a body like expensive wine. Meaning it was expensive and used the price tag to draw attention away from its real age, instead using the term 'well aged'.

Dae was surprised at the approach of the man in front of her. As he asked her name the shyness that came with her age boiled to the surface and she drew back somewhat, but being raised not to be rude her next sentence came out in a whisper directed at her feet.
"My name is Daelene...and this is Marcus..."
She shuffled her feet slightly and moved her arm to where he could see Marcus clearer. Then realizing she was being a baby, She glanced up at the man, her dark blue eyes holding a quizical light, she could tell something was different about him. Something different from those around him...but she didnt know what. So she smiled at him slightly, not really knowing what to think of this man.

Suddenly, Raves attention whipps to the door, his smile gone. Then he returns his attention back to Helios. He smiles politely.
"I do apologize, but it seems I've drawn a rather unattractive guest. I'd prefer not to have him spoil this amazing," he says the last word with a dry humor, "party. Anywahoos, have lovely day," he says, then turns to leave. He stops and looks back at Helios. He smiles, but there is no humor in his eyes now.
"And do keep your pet away from me. If he gets to far out of line, there won't be a body to bring back next time," he says. He then turns and walks toward the exit.
Only now does he notice the small child with her grandmother, Rion attempting to make small talk with the girl and her teddy bear. Normally, he wouldn't have paid any attention to it. And he was just about to look away when a sharp stinging erupted in his eyes. He winces, clenching his eyes, and leans against a table. He waits until the pain recedes, then looks up at the little girl. To his eyes, she stood out amongst any of the other guests, almost as if she were brighter. He didn't have to look into a mirror to know that two almost violently purple X's crossed each of his eyes like lightning now. He blinks a few times, then grabs another glass of champagne, downs it, and puts it back on the tray in one smooth motion. He glances at the door again, then back at his newfound charge.
"Damn the powers," he mutters. He smiles then and engages a couple in conversation, only a few feet away from the child. As the people move about, he finds himself now talking with her grandmother.

((I didnt have a name for the Grandmother picked out or anything, so i made one up on the spot...<.<.....>.>....))
Carley smiled up at the handsome young...shoeless?...man that walked over to her and started a conversation. She wasnt really paying attention to what he was saying, she was more engrossed by his person than anything else, he seemed to exude power and that was one of the reasons she joined these cults, to stay close to that feeling of power, some one her age never felt anything like that and it was like a Drug to Carley, one she didnt have the will power to resist. She hardly even noticed her grandchild beside her as she watched this Man.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dae just happened to look up at her grandmother after introducing herself to The Man in front of her, and she saw her grandmother's crowd seemed to have disappeared and was replaced by a whole new one, including the man with no shoes she saw earlier. She shook her head and turned back toward the man in front of her, still feeling the strange reaction to him, but she couldnt tell if it was all just coming from him or the man with no shoes...

"I don't remember there being a Marcus on the list," says Rion. "But I suppose if madam insists he..." he drifted off slightly, unnerved by Rave's presence. "Can stay," he finished awkwardly, feeling the hole that once was in his chest.

((OK thank Eve ^^))
Dae smiled slightly up at Rion, and squeezed Marcus closer to her and fighting a wave of shyness squeezed up against her Grandma's leg slightly,
"Thank You Mister...Marcus appreciates it..."
He glanced over her shoulder quickly at the Man with no shoes then looked up at her Grandmother to see them chatting again...she sighed...This was going to be a long night...

Rave stops talking with the grandmother then, and kneels down. He gives Rion a look of truce (for now) and then smiles at Daelene.
"Now, you look like you're having the time of your life," he says. Then he leans in just a little closer, and looks to each side conspiratorially.
"Wanna see a magic trick?" he asks in a whispered voice.

Dae leans away from the shoeless man and nods despite herself...and she can hold her curiousity in no longer,
"OK Mister...but..why arent you wearing any shoes?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carley looks down when Rave moves to talk to her granddaughter, she feels the familiar weight as the child leans against her. She begins to wonder why she brought the little girl here in the first place, she could see now this was no place for the child, She was taking all the attention!

Rave sits down and crosses his legs.
"Would you believe me if I told you that I could feel where I am just by how the ground feels on my feet?" he asks. Then he winks and slowly reaches next to her ear. When he comes back, he's got a coin in his hand. He shows it to her, then twists his hand over, hiding it from view. When he shows it again, a small lily is there instead. He smiles and winks as he hands it to her.
"And would you believe me if I told you I could do other magic?"

((Makes me sad i went to post yesterday and i got kickeded off the internet... ..)) Dae looked at the Shoeless one in wonder, her eyes big as saucers, and an almost inaudible 'ooooooooooooo' escaped her lips. "How did you do that?" She wants to ask but is too captivated to do so, and her eyes brighten despite her urge to get away from the unknown man and despite herself she asks, "What KIND of other magic?"

Rave looks around conspiratoriolly before leaning in to whisper.
"The kind that the magicians you see on T.V. can't do," he whispers. Then he holds up his hand. The flower rises up into the air, twirls slowly around, then settles itself behind Dae's ear. He winks and puts a finger up to his lips.
"Shhh, don't tell anyone," he says.

Dae's eyes get-if it's possible-even larger watching the man, she lets go of her grandma's hand to lightly touch the flower behind her ear, then she smiles up at the man. Then she whispers,
"I wont, I promise...and Marcus Promises too..."
She was beginning to like this guy.
