He frowned deeply.

Nevia opened the door and took a step back for him to come in, "Hey," she greeted, offering him a small smile.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 17 Jan - 21:32

"Sorry. I cut too deep." Anastasia sat in his car as if movement hurt.

Luci kissed her cheek cheerfully as he walked in, throwing himself into a chair. "Hello my sweetie pie!"

**BestNameEva** Fri 17 Jan - 21:35

Nevia wrinkled her nose, "Really? A pet name, what's that about Luci?" she asked with a quiet laugh.

"It's okay," He whispered before driving towards where the building.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 17 Jan - 22:04

Anastasia almost slumped in the seat, holding a hand against her side again.

"I'm trying to flirt like human customs dictate. Or should have I said you have a great chest instead."

**BestNameEva** Fri 17 Jan - 22:13

"No, no, the pet name was fine." She replied with a quiet laugh before returning with a grin, "You can light my pure any day."

Atticus pulled over a few minutes later.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 17 Jan - 22:59

Luci smiled brightly, pointed at one of the nearby shelves and it burst into flame.

Anastasia had slumped against the window and was breathing shallowly to try and ignore the pain.

**BestNameEva** Fri 17 Jan - 23:03

Nevia's eyes widened and she just stared at the fire before shaking her head, "Put the fire out, please? I didn't mean it like that… was just trying to return the flirtation."

He reached over and took her head gently with a sigh, whispering, "Why don't you ever stop bleeding hm? I keep trying to heal you…"

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 17 Jan - 23:21

Luci snuffed it out with a toss of his hand. "I'm not familiar with common human euphemisms."

"You've healed me perfectly. This one is self inflicted and a little deeper than I initially intended."

**BestNameEva** Fri 17 Jan - 23:26

"It wasn't a common one, I made it up more or less." She replied with a quiet laugh, before asking, "So what brings you here? Possessing Theo again?"

Atticus just raised an eyebrow in question in response to that. "Why?"

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 17 Jan - 23:32

"He told me he's had enough of life so I'm taking the reigns for now."

"Its common punishment for a job badly done. In the days gone by it was lashing oneself. Now, it's a small, non-lethal incision in a place of your choice."

**BestNameEva** Fri 17 Jan - 23:35

"Ah Theo," Nevia whispered sadly with a deep sigh, "Poor Theo… I hate not being able to make him feel better, hate it," she mumbled.

He just shook his head at her then, "You shouldn't of done that, sweet cheeks…"

"The joys of being immortal huh? If you don't like the killing side of it, you get lonely and bored real quick."

"Its common instruction. I witnessed one avoidable death at the hands of a demon and rightly punished myself."

**BestNameEva** Sun 19 Jan - 13:42

"He's lonely? That's silly…. He has me. Unless of course you're meaning yourself, in which case that's silly because you have me too… I know that isn't much, just me, but it's enough not to be so lonely, right?"

"I don't care if it's common instruction." Atticus mumbled, "It shouldn't be."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Sun 19 Jan - 14:23

"You've known him for seconds in a demons life. How many thousands of years has he been alone huh?"

"Its how the Vatican works these days. To lessen the chance of defeat next time you take pain this time."

**BestNameEva** Sun 19 Jan - 14:35

"Loads, but he doesn't have to be anymore, that's the point I'm trying to make. I'm not saying he hasn't been in the past but I'm here for him, I've told him that, I've told him that so many times. I've tried to prove it so many times."

Atticus just shrugged.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Sun 19 Jan - 14:49

"Then you try to break a thousand year plus habit. It's not easy. I still get the urge to end the world every now and then. He's a hermit crab. He hides in his shell every so often with me being the new shell."

"I'll be fine. I'm used to it by now."

**BestNameEva** Sun 19 Jan - 17:15

Nevia just laughed a little bit at that, musing playfully, "How poetic,"

"Mm,"

**Fruit-Pastilles** Sun 19 Jan - 17:26

"I found a worthy analogy and used it."

Anastasia turned to stare out of the window in stoic silence.

**BestNameEva** Sun 19 Jan - 17:29

"A worthy analogy between what?"

He glanced to her in silence once they had pulled over.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Sun 19 Jan - 17:46

"Its a saying that corresponds to Theon so I used it. The hermit and his shell. Or cave."

"I can't change just because you don't like it or it makes you uncomfortable."

**BestNameEva** Sun 19 Jan - 17:54

"Ah." She nodded a little bit in understanding. "I hate feeling helpless."

"We're here," He pointed out quietly.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Sun 19 Jan - 18:22

"You're not helpless. Just unsuited."

"So I see."

**BestNameEva** Sun 19 Jan - 18:30

"What's the difference?"

"You going to go talk to 'em?"

**Fruit-Pastilles** Sun 19 Jan - 19:56

"Because you can help people but you're too kind and unsuited for demons. Which is fine, we can just corrupt you then."

"I suppose I should." Anastasia took in a deep breath and opened the door stiffly.

**BestNameEva** Sun 19 Jan - 19:58

"I can be nasty, I'm not incapable of it..."

"Want me to come with you?"
