Catie: *puttering quietly in the kitchen, fixing hot tea and a few cheese crackers to munch, Bana observing her steadily* don't worry, i've not forgotten your dinner.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: Bliss is sitting at the coffee table in the den, where he's practically been living the last few days, flipping through maps and srcibbled notes and sketches. His hair is pulled up in a clip, out of his way and he's looking ever so glamourous in jeans and a tee-shirt.

Catie: *peeks in, crackers in hand. Bana edges within sound of flipping papers, but not within sight* Bliss? *softly, trying not to disturb him too much* would you like a snack? and tea? i've plenty of hot water left, so two cups is just as simple as one?

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Sure." He purses his lips with a frown. "Do we know anyone who can get access to electrical boxes? Water mains? What are the odds we could take out a traffic light?"

Catie: *slips over to him and looks for a spot to put the plate of cheese-topped crackers down safely* i don't know who in the fmaily might work for the city, or the electric company, but i can ask around. i suspect that someone from one of those places would know best how to make a traffic light stop working, too. unless you mean to blow it up, or simply drive a car into the poles holding it up.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "I was thinking of trying to be subtle." He sighs. "What about the health department? Can we get that lake declared unsafe?"

Catie: *tilts her head* which lake? *wrinkes her nose slightly* i expect taht if you got a few fish from the market, and put them in the water, then made an anonymous call to the health department, it would get the lake, whichever one it is, shut down for at least a while.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "One people keep drowning in."

Catie: *shivers* it sounds like a nasty lake. *a slow blink* if there are, or should be, fish in it, though....you really could try buying a couple of trash bags' worth. from different places. and scattering them in the water and along the banks. you could maybe inject them with something slightly toxic. but, an organic poison, not something that would hurt anything in there. and then, make an anonymous call. it shoulod at least get them to investigate the area.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "I think anything living in the lake is toxic...."

Catie: *shudders* it's Wyrm things, then? *not surprised* then, you could put, say, pesticides in the fish and not do too much more damage. i hope it can be cleansed properly, though. because if it's a lake, animals are probably drinking from it. so, they'd probably get infected with wyrm faster even than people swimming there. although it's getting too cold to swim in the open.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Animals drinking, people swimming...it's a mess. I'm hoping it's not in the water anywhere else. Like where there are wells."

Bliss-O-Phone: *RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRING*

Catie: *pales* that would be so incredibly bad, there are simply no words. mmm,i'll be right back. the tea should be ready--milk, sugar, honey,lemon? *tilts her head*

Shadow's Blissful Silence: He holds up a hand to Catie with an apologetic smile. "One moment." He flips open his phone. "Hello?"

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Honey."

Catie: *nods to BLiss and smiles. heading off to make the tea. it doesn't take long at all, of course*

Bliss-O-Phone -> Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Oh, we're to the stage of pet names for each other?" A tired chuckle from Aerin. "Well, then, Sugar Plum. You busy?"

Catie: *quietly moves back in with Bliss's tea. and a coaster, of course. Bana eases to the very edge of the door and glares tensely at the man, fur ploofed*

Shadow's Blissful Silence: There is a soft chuckle at that. "For the tea. You totally strike me as not so much the honey type. And no, not horribly. I'm...just reviewing things here."

Catie: *settles down on the floor to pet her cat and sip her own tea. trying not to listen to Bliss's conversation much. the cat doesn't seem to want to be soothed, but she allows her pet human to stroke the grey fur*

Bliss-O-Phone -> Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Cool...where are you? Got a little bit of news that I'd rather not share over the phone. Somethin' new out on the streets."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "I'm at the apartment."

Catie: *arches an eyebrow curiously. perhaps company? that would be nice. she can put on more water for tea*

Bliss-O-Phone -> Shadow's Blissful Silence: "All right. Gimme ten, and I'll be there."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Then we'll see you soon."

Catie: *waits until he hangs up* more tea, i assume? *soft chuckle* should i fix sandwiches or something?

Bliss-O-Phone -> Shadow's Blissful Silence: "See you." *Click*

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "More tea, and yes." He smiles. "Aerin's coming. Whatever you'd like."

Catie: *beams* oh, wonderful! i like him. *chuckles* well, it's either sandwiches, canned soup, or scrambled eggs. with stuff in it. i got chicken, but it's frozen, so i can't make Margarite Chicken. *stands up, gathering the cat into her arms. Bana hisses at Bliss* Bana! be nice, dear! *snags her half-empty teacup, and heads to go fix sustenance*

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "He'll only fuss more if you make it too complicated, pet...." He warns her softly. But he at least seems in a better mood now.

Catie: *sings her way through fixing a light meal. although, they are overstuffed snadwiches. and she feeds the cats before they lynch her*

Catie: *laughs, peeking back in to Bliss* i just went for sandwiches. would you like yours heated up some? that's how i'm having mine.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Ah..I see I'm eating then? Sure, however you reccomend. Thanks, pet."

Aerin Thomas: And he knocks knocks knocks on the door. The man is looking...oh, look, we're back to tired again. Beyond that, he's dressed as normal, in the red lace-up shirt, the style that he's been wearing as of late, the slacks, and of course the ever-present leather trench.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: He picks up his phone and calls Aerin's cell. Yes, he really does.

Catie: *nods cheerfully to Bliss* yes, you are. i'll get the door. *skips her way thattaway* i'll peek first!

Aerin Thomas: A blink, and he looks down to the cell phone...Bliss's number? A raised eyebrow, and he flips it open, wary as he looks around, scanning the vicinity. "Yeah?"

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Hold on, if it's Aerin, he'll answer his phone...."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Ah, hello honey." He moves the phone a little. "Open it, pet." Click.

Catie: *blinks, then shrugs. and opens the door* hello, Aerin. would you like your sandwich heated? *grins to the man* and cream, sugar, honey, or lemon in your tea?

Aerin Thomas: He frowns at the phone, then slips it away. A shrug, and he waits for the door to open, staff at his side.

Aerin Thomas: "Hey, Catie." He gives her a weary smile and steps him, reaching out to hug her. "Tea straight, non-heated. You really don't have to make me anything though, you know..."

Catie: *nods to him, hugging the tired man back* well, we're eating, so it would be rude to eat in front of you. Bliss is in the den. i'll bring out the food and such, all right? you go rest a bit.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Well, she's been so busy catering to me se's no doubt thrilled to have someone not demanding as hell. Sit down." He starts to stack the papers, a few of them at a time, set crossways to diferentiate between the little piles.

Aerin Thomas: "Thank you." He moves into the den, smiling to Bliss. "Having fun?"

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Yeah. Catie'll tell you." He smiles. "Everything alright?"

Catie: *makes a piffling sound, as if Bliss's demands aren't as bad as he seems to think. from the kitchen. a few moments for the sandwiches to heat, while she fixes the tea--and joy of joy, she doesn't set off the fire alarm!!*

Aerin Thomas: "Meh." He sets the staff against the wall, then slumps down on the couch next to Bliss. "Been a hell of a few days."

Catie: *toddles out with the sandwiches and tea one two trays* we need a bigger tray. *and there are a couple of cookies on each plate*

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Yeah?" He reaches over to pull Aerin into him. "I'll buy that. Talk to me?"

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Do we?" He chuckles. "We can get one. Should we get you a little cart too?"

Catie: mmm, a cart would be nice, butit'd just give Fiero another launching pad to pounce onto things. so a tray will do. *grins impishly and passes out the edibles*

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Alright then. Thank you, pet." Catie gets a warm smile before Aerin has his attention again. "And you eat something. Have some tea. You'll feel better. Tea makes everything better. And cookies...."

Aerin Thomas: "Something new on the streets...or possibly old, just with some mad skillz I've never seen before. Calls itself Death." He leans against Bliss, comfortably, as he goes for his smokes. "Came right up to me and started talking to me. Near as I can tell, they were pretty pumped up on some kind of twisted, potent sort of death magic or something. Very tainted. Made all sorts of creepy insinuations. I pulled her out of the mall food court when she started yelling and shouting to nothing at all, and when I got her outside, went after her. She went insubstantial, then walked through me. She vanished as she did. Then I pretty much frenzied...which would be a first, by the way."

Catie: *grins back to Bliss, and seconds his opinion* he's right. tea and cookies always make you feel better. and these are very good cookies.

Catie: *eyes round. shivers* that simply can't be a good thing, any more than the nasty lake.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Insub...oh my...." He starts petting Aerin's hair. "Wait...pretty much frenzied?"

Aerin Thomas: "Well, didn't, really." He shrugs. "It came up, but I fought it off." A little shiver.

Catie: *quietly sets down her food and moves to give Aerin another hug*

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Shhhhhhhh...okay. Okay. Deep breath. Everything's alright. Eat. We'll worry over that later. How is our sprite?"

Aerin Thomas: "If it's some new vampire creation, I swear to Christ..." He sighs. "Got enough problems to have to worry about that kind of shit. Especially if they're willing to come right up to people in the fuckin' MALL. On Thanksgiving Weekend."

Aerin Thomas: He looks at Bliss, and shrugs a little bit. "All right."

Catie: *smiles softly to Aerin* did Miss Ita like her presents? and you, yours? *calmly, reaching for her tea*

Aerin Thomas: "Yes, Catie." He nods a little bit, with a faint smile. "Thank you, very much."

Catie: i'm glad. *offers him his tea, with a calm blink*

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Aerin, Aerin, hey honey-" There is a flash of a smile, quick, tense. "Easy. It'll be alright. You're alright. I know you're worried. But it's going to be alright. We'll figure it out. But it can wait a few minutes for you to have some tea."

Catie: *smiles to Bliss softly*

Aerin Thomas: ((Sorry, guys, Phone Call))

Shadow's Blissful Silence: [NP]

Catie: ((NP. *hugs*))

Aerin Thomas: He takes the tea with a little sigh, nodding to her gratefully, then to Bliss. A concession. "Besides that, things are...meh." He sips at the tea.

Catie: *smiles happily to Aerin and nibbles her sandwich* mmm, how can i help? Aerin? Bliss?

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Meh, huh?" He rubs Aerin's neck with one hand. "We'll have to do something about that."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Do you know Ita, pet?"

Aerin Thomas: "That would be nice," he says with a nod and a little smirk in response to Bliss's comment to him.

Catie: *nods* yes. she stood up for me when i'd first come here. before i met Chimal. and another girl. *a small frown* i can't quite recall who, though....but, there was a nasty sort of person sniffing around us. i think if you could bottle Miss It'a's ire when she gets angry, you'd have a weapon that could destroy the world. *she sounds impressed*

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Yeah, the sprite's sure something. She likes you, then?"

Aerin Thomas: "I don't disagree," he says to Catie with a faint grin. "Just don't get it directed your way. Frightening." Yes, the big bad furry man is scared by a tiny pikey and her mood swings.

Catie: i think so? *smiles to Bliss* i like her, a lot. *nods earnestly to Aerin* i hope she never decides i need a tonguelashing. i might just bleed to death!

Aerin Thomas: "Yeah, I've been in danger of that a couple of times." He grins a little and sips some more at his tea, before withdrawing a cigarette from the pack he's been holding.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "You like kids?" He looks over at Catie, but keeps up kneading at Aerin's neck.

Catie: *nods* i've not had a lot of experience with them, but i do like them. *chuckles* sometime, i hope to have a few of my own. *sips her tea*

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Good."

Catie: *tilts her head at Bliss curiously*

Aerin Thomas: He looks between Bliss and Catie, his expression vaguely curious, underneath the weary veneer.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Relax Aerin. I'm just trying to find someone to help Ita with the kids. Darling as they are, you're exhausted, I'm sure she's exhausted. You both need rest. And she's not letting me near those kids if she has any say in the matter."

Catie: *perks up* i'd like to help!

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "I know, pet. We'll work something out."

Aerin Thomas: "Ahh." He nods. "In all fairness, I do have Michelle helping...but I'd be happy to have Catie help out too, if she'd like to. Can never have too much help with newborns...especially two. Especially two that are three months apart in age."

Catie: *nods happily* whenever you need me, then. *ponders a moment* i just have to make sure, if i'm staying over for a few nights, that my cats get fed and such.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: Bliss nods. "And if you looked like you'd slept in the last week, I might believe the offer was unnecessary." But it's Catie's from here, at least for now.

Aerin Thomas: "You know why I don't sleep, Bliss. Has little to do with my workload."

Catie: *smiles gently to Aerin* but, if i may help as well, then perhaps you can at least rest.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Aerin...you sleep. Maybe not perfectly, but you do. I know you've other issues, but with less stress you'll feel better."

Aerin Thomas: "I wasn't turning down the offer, Catie...believe me, it's appreciated, and I'd love that. Thank you." He smiles faintly to her, and to Bliss. "Sorry...one of those things."

Catie: *grins to Aerin* then, let me know when you need a babysitter. or, if Miss Ita would feel more comfortable, i can go over there and she can teach me what she thinks i need to know, so she'll feel comfortable letting me take care of them while you both relax.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Mmmmmm...this is one of the few times I'm actually being supportive and not demanding you pet me. You should enjoy it. Because I give it about five minutes before I settle into your lap for a nap...." He smiles, letting his head fall back against the couch.

Aerin Thomas: "Point made," he says to Bliss with a slight chuckle. "And I'll talk to Ita and let you know, Catie. Thank you, again."

Catie: *giggles softly* and when you fall asleep, Mr. Aerin, i'll take over petting detail.

Catie: *grins to Aerin* it's not a problem. i like you, i like Ita, and i like babies. it sounds to me as if i'm getting the better end of the deal, hmm?

Shadow's Blissful Silence: He picks up his tea, just watching them both. At least with two people to occupy his attention instead of one there's less of the unsettling intensity.

Aerin Thomas: "If you insist, Catie." He grins and...oh, yes. He's holding a cigarette. It goes between his lips, and he moves to light it.

Catie: i do! *nods firmly to the man, grinning*

Aerin Thomas: A smile to the girl, and he looks back to Bliss. "So, what's all this?" Gesturing to the maps. "The Development Project?"

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "You know, I was almost relaxed for a minute there...." He smiles and sighs. "Yeah. I'm brainstorming with Catie."

Catie: *wrinkles her nose playfully* i'm trying to be useful, anyway. *blinks sleepily*

Aerin Thomas: "Sorry, my Type-A mind is on the move." He grins a little bit.

Catie: *absently tucks her slippered feet under herself, trying not to yawn*

Aerin Thomas: "So, what've you got so far?" Yes, he's on the job already, cigarette burning 'tween his lips as he glances at the stacks.

Catie: buying fish and stuffing them with poison so they can be tossed on the lake. and make an anonymous call. *snuggles back against the sofa*

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Always is, isn't it?" He rests his head on Aerin's shoulder. "I was trying to figure out all kinds of things. How to shut down that lake. If I can find a way to shut off power. I need a distraction, a whole chain of them, really. I need them off balance when I strike. It has to be on their territory but it will be on my terms." Despite the relaxed posture his tone has that fanatical edge to it again.

Aerin Thomas: "Hmmm..." He frowns a little, thinking. "Could work, unless they control local EPA elements. Or, the EPA sends a single inspector out, and we have a new drowning victim...which would send more people out, still, but..."

Aerin Thomas: "I can conceivably shut off the power." He nods. "It'll be tough, probably...but if I can hack the local power grid, I can kill it, maybe even the backup. Might even be able to overload the system, force it to shut down completely."

Catie: *nods, and blinks* i can only think of running a car into a traffic light....

Catie: ((murfle. and i need to get some sleep. mind if Catie quietly dozes off, despite brave efforts not to? *chuckels*))

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Power. Power kills lights. I'd rather kill that than crash a car."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: [Not at all. *hugs*]

Aerin Thomas: ((*Hugs the Harper* Night, hon!))

Catie: ((*snugs you both tight* sweet dreams, guys. *G* thank you!))

Aerin Thomas: "Lemme know when, and I'll see what I can do." He nods a little. "Might be able to kill the phone lines, too."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Good." Bliss smiles. "So...you're a little calmer now...you've had some tea, you've got a cigarette...tell me what happened in the mall, from the beginning...." He resettles, as if he were about to listen to some nice calming story and take a nap, not listen to something involving death and near-frenzying.

Aerin Thomas: A slow nod, and he takes a breath. "I was in the mall, trying to get Solstice shopping done. I ran into Dara and some of her friends...apparently, she's getting married." A little smirk, and a shake of his head. "Anyway, they took off, I ran into a friend. While I was talking to her, this woman came up. Looked like a street prostitute. Blind, waving her cane around...shouting at the escalator because she slipped on it."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: He nods, staying close to Aerin, though he doesn't talk.

Aerin Thomas: "She comes straight for me. Bypassed my friend, who was leaving..came up and started being all coy. Said her name was Cherry, and was talking about how I was screaming out to her, that I radiated things."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: He slides an arm over Aerin's shoulders and nods. "Could you describe her?"

Aerin Thomas: "What, five and a half feet tall, not even 100 pounds...blue eyes, blonde hair, dyed several other colors, eyebrow, nose, and lip piercing...dressed about how you'd imagine a drugged-out street whore would look." A description of Cherry Matthews, essentially.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Okay. Does this include the boots? Dark blue, grey-blue, blue-green? What are we looking at?"

Aerin Thomas: "Worn tennis shoes. One black, one white."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Okay." He smiles. "Good. So she was screaming about you radiating things...."

Aerin Thomas: He nods. "Then, out of nowhere, she starts swearing and shouting a conversation with what looked at the time to be air. Perverted sack of shit, sister dear, something about setting the other person's slaves free." A shrug. "I was hanging around, making sure she didn't hurt anyone else. Plus, I kinda doubted she wasn't a vampire or some other vampiric minion. Awful coincidential, that she reeked of twisted death magic and Taint, and came straight up to me, eh?"

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "I'm here. I'm here. You're okay." He curls around Aerin protectively. "What is it?"

Aerin Thomas: "...Bliss..." He just kind of...slumps into the Lord's hold, kind of slack and limp. "I think it may have been a Bane Mummy. Either Qetu, back once again, or maybe another one."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "I've got you. You're okay. You're okay." He tightens his hold on Aerin, rubbing his cheek over the top of Aerin's head. "It's okay. Just tell me what a Bane Mummy is, and I'll figure something out."

Aerin Thomas: "A basically unkillable creature of the Wyrm who has existed for thousands of years, passing from this world to the Dark Umbra and back, serving the Wyrm throughout, and associated with a clan of vampires known as Setites." He says it...almost lightly.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Well, it's a good thing you happen to have a Ragabash right here. We specialise in doing the impossible. Especially for Thunder's chosen children...." He grins. "We not only improvise, we're not above a little trickery and cheating. This is what I was born for. All I have to do is breathe and put one foot in front of the other and follow the yellow brick road, likely dancing backward, and the next thing you know it'll be dead. Again. Piece of cake."

Aerin Thomas: "Good." He nods a little, smiling ever so faintly. "Got a nuke?"

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Don't need one. Those things are counterproductive. It's okay though, I have a destiny instead. It's far more useful."

Aerin Thomas: "I'm serious, Bliss. From what we were told, the only way to permanently kill one is complete molecular disintegration...at least, the only option we have the remotest access to."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Really?" He smiles. "So it is a good thing I'm here. Aerin, look at me."

Aerin Thomas: He looks over at Bliss, a sense of detachment in the normally expressive green eyes. "Hmm?"

Shadow's Blissful Silence: He cups Aerin's face in his hands, smoothing over his cheekbones with his thumbs. "It's alright. I'm right here. We will figure out how to take care of this. Seriously Aerin, I'm here because we need a new way to fight, we've been fighting for so long, and that hasn't saved us. Dropping nuclear weapons is unacceptable, but there is an acceptable solution. And we will find it. I promise you. However difficult, however frightening, whatever the cost - I will find a way."

Aerin Thomas: He nods a little bit, smiling ever so faintly. Perhaps feigned, perhaps not. "I know we will."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: He kisses Aerin's forehead. "There you are." He smiles faintly. "Everything will be alright."

Aerin Thomas: "Here's hoping." He rubs at his eyes, blinking a couple times after. "So...anyway."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "You alright now?" He keeps his hands on Aerin's face, thumbs still smoothing over his cheekbones.

Aerin Thomas: "Well...one stress...sort of relieved a little. Only 96 to go." He leans into Bliss's hands, sighing with a rueful sort of smile. "It's improvement. Thank you."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "For...?" He smiles warmly. "It's alright. You've only known me a little while. Ninety-six isn't so many. You'll be fine. Everything will be fine."

Aerin Thomas: "Yeah." He sighs, and cracks his neck to either side, audible pops coming, and that OH-so-good wince.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Oh," he says softly. "Aerin." A heavy sigh. "At least that must be better."

Aerin Thomas: "Hey, I'm lucky it's possible. Haven't been able to do it for days...between you and Kaeleigh, I think it just just loose enough to crack. Thanks...again."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Yeah, I certainly can't do that." He chuckles. "And it's alright. It's not like this is so awful." One last brush of his thumbs over Aerin's face before he let's go. "And even if you may have about lost it there...just being this close to people is reassuring. I have been far too stressed the last few days, but a little tea, a little company...I think this is the calmest I've been. So we're even."

Aerin Thomas: He leans back, nodding a little bit. "Good." A pause, before he smirks. "This mean we're keeping score?"

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Nah. It means I'm tired of you thanking me." He settles with his head and shoulders in Aerin's lap with a sigh.

Aerin Thomas: He chuckles a little at that. "Sorry...I'm a compulsive gratitude-shower. Incurable disease." He starts petting the other's hair. "So what's got you stressed more. This development, or Catie?"

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Yes. Though, I think Catie is one of those neutral things. Drives me mad but...at least there's someone here. I can hear her when I wake up in the morning. When I really get crazy I sleep in the hall, in lupus, just so I can hear her breathing. I really can't live alone."

Aerin Thomas: "I know." He nods a little bit, looking down at him. "I'm glad you're not anymore."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Me too." He sighs, he really is starting to relax.

Aerin Thomas: He continues the gentle, soothing petting motion. "So, took Ethan into the city after Thanksgiving. Which is when I ran into Kaeleigh...do you know her?"

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "No." He smiles. "You'll put me to sleep that way." But he lets his eyes flutter closed anyway.

Aerin Thomas: "She's...kind of like Ita's situation, except for that whole being a vampire before she became a mortal who fell in love with a Garou. Except hers skipped town, 'cause she wasn't kin...and told her lots before he came to that decision." He sighs. "Then, she almost hooked up with a Kinfolk named Anthony, didn't happen, same reason...she wasn't kin. And then, Jamie, that Fianna...ended up with Bri. And almost hurt Kae badly, physically. Tore her completely up, emotionally and mentally."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Poor thing. She can come live with me too." He smiles. "Which you may have to do. You're so good at that."

Aerin Thomas: "It's a talent...what can I say." He smiles. "So anyway, Kae's my new project. Get her out of suicidal thoughts, and give her a reason to keep living besides her duties at work."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "You're far more stressed than I am...."

Aerin Thomas: "Baah. Stress reminds you that you're still alive." He grins faintly.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "And that that is sometimes kinda painful, yeah." He seems perfectly fine right now though. "So...he's my plan. We need to find a place big enough for me and cats, because Catie will not be separated from cats. With a Jacuzzi. And then we need to make your sprite not hate me - and then you can move in." He nods. "It'd be nice."

Aerin Thomas: "That's a good plan." He nods with a smile. "Don't forget the extra rooms for the hard-luck cases you, me, or Ita will inevitably take in...and the dogs. And the crows."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "So, we'll need a barn. And maybe two houses." He grins. "Several guest cottages."

Aerin Thomas: "House in Luddington, with modifications, could work. Already got the barn...and lots of rooms. Just need some cottages." He grins, half-joking.

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "Mmmmmmm...so...cottages and a Jacuzzi and me getting along with the sprite...not so bad...."

Aerin Thomas: "I think she's warming to you."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: "By which you mean plans to kill me quickly and painlessly?" He chuckles.

Aerin Thomas: "Hey, maybe just maim at this point, even."

Shadow's Blissful Silence: He smiles. "Yeah...there's love." [And, I should go crawl into bed. *sulks*]

Aerin Thomas: ((No problem, hon. *Hugs* Thanks for the scene.))

Shadow's Blissful Silence: [Blame Harper. 8) I do. *hugs* Night, love.]

Aerin Thomas: ((Night, love. Sleep well.))
