says to ALL: She had a good time getting to know Robin a little more. Her work with Giulio to learn her powers was.. interesting. Seems she could do more than she thought. Thankfully he was there to help because it seems she can't heal herself. Bummer. Tonight she was in the library reading some of the older books on her kind. She would really like to meet others, but that may not be possible or advised. Still she'd found an interesting book on fae magic. She still needed to learn more about it. Control had come though, slowly. He'd taught her to fight a little.. ok a lot better than she could when she met them. And stealth. That was the fun part. He had been sleeping so she was biding her time for him to wake up. She could have laid there waiting, but she just couldn't stay in bed any longer. She was restless and she didn't quite understand why

says to Assassin's Delight : His footsteps were silent as he navigated the penthouse. She had been relocated from the 8th floor to the 12th during her weeks here. Interestingly, or perhaps not, she found the library captivating—a place Robin deemed one of the few she could visit without special permission. Yet, she was still barred from the gallery below unless accompanied.
As he neared, he avoided the cluster of plush chairs to approach her from behind, leaning down to plant a kiss atop her head. "Did you rest well?" he asked, concealing a smile as he sensed her energy pulsating. She vibrated with more life now, more alluring than the night they first met. A swift, casual glance revealed the jeweled dagger strapped to her leg—a gift from him, more elaborate than her previous armaments, yet equally lethal.

Not that she's complaining at all. She still had a room of her own, should she ever decide to use it.. which was only the first couple nights on the 12th floor. And she's a nerd, so yes.. the library is captivating to her. It's helping her learn about herself and in some ways her kind. Though most of the books she's found are not directly about them.. because she guesses you know.. Fae aren't real.. right? She knows many are not all correct, but there is a sliver of truth for every myth she's found.
But she also finds some of the humorous.
A sharp inhale as she feels you near, smiling and closing her eyes at the kiss to the top of her head, nodding softly
"Oh yes, very much. You?"
turning to look up to you, her smile bright, her blue eyes shining softly. The only time she didn't have that dagger on her person was in bed with you. Well, while you were awake. It usually found her thigh when the sleep took you.
Her hand finding yours as her smile and bright eyes remain. Her hand is warm in yours, a nail caressing one of your fingers. She now understands why she's always felt the way she has.. the energy, the fiesty.. It's been interesting discovering herself along with her abilities.
"Do you think I'll ever meet another Fae?"
she was curious. She wondered many things about herself, her family. Would she ever meet her father?

Robin detested it when he said that, yet he found it amusing. As her fingers interlaced with his, he drew in a sharp hiss, feeling that same energy that had so captivated him that first night. His grip tightened. "Now, did you find anything interesting?" he asked, reaching over her shoulder to glance at the book's title. It meant little to him. After all, his knowledge of the fairy world was as distant as his knowledge of the various vampire clans he'd encountered over the centuries.
"Probably," he shrugged, "maybe," then shook his head. "Does it matter so terribly much to you?" He continued to hold her hand gently as he circled the chair to settle on the armrest, leaning in to drape his arm around her shoulders. "Have you been to see your friends?" he inquired. Suggesting she visit her former co-workers had sparked a broader discussion about the men who had died, and how she was coping with the murder she had committed...and those she had witnessed. He knew he would never forget the sound of eyes popping out of a skull. That was a memory worth retaining.

says to Shadowed Assassin✢: She chuckles softly at your reply, lips lift to widen at the sharp hiss as your grip tightens.
"Oh right now just more truth mixed into the myth. I don't know how I know which is true and what isn't, but somehow I know. Maybe that's tied into the inability to lie part."
OK that was one thing that frustrated her. Sometimes lying was beneficial, but instead she learned to keep her mouth shut. Though when asked questions directly, she found that hard. Still she was learning control.
She curled in close, smiling still as you ask if it would matter.
"I guess in the long run, no. But I'd like to know who my father is. Ask some questions. Though I think I have met him, but it would be nice to hear him call me his daughter. That I'm not sure why it matters, but for some reason it does."
Shrugging at that. Did it really matter? Or was just curiosity? She was still trying to figure that out. As her powers grew, so did her knowledge.. and so did her questions.
smiling as you ask about her friends, she nods softly
"Yeah. Stopped by there a couple weeks ago. Had a good talk with them. They are adjusting well and the clientelle they have now has changed drastically. So they are doing much better now."
She was surprised at how well adjusted she'd been after that night. Some of her dreams had been weird for a while, but nothing that made her lose sleep.. just enough to make her go.. hm.
The discussion of how she was doing had been enlightening even for her. She discovered things about herself that night that she had been vaguely aware of, but now they were glaringly obvious. Nothing that disturbed her, which she found unusual. and yeah.. she'll never forget that sound either. Or the sound of him eating his own eyes as he died. She should have had nightmares for weeks, but she didn't. .. Thankfully

"Hmmm," she murmured, and as she did, he leaned his head against her fiery curls. "Then, perhaps we should look elsewhere, utilizing both Robin's connections and those of the Corporation." He pondered how long he could straddle the line, wondering if a hit would be ordered on him. Yet, as long as he resolved the cases assigned to him, maybe once they discovered Robin was alive, he could persuade them that having her on their side was advantageous—if such a thing existed.
"I appreciate that you can't lie," he said with a grin, looking down into her eyes. "And it's quite useful that I can lie with ease." His words were accompanied by a soft chuckle.
"Good, I'm glad. They needed someone decent," he observed her closely. "You deserve someone decent," he implied, suggesting he was not that person.
"Robin mentioned that you did well in Palermo," as if it held more significance. "I believe she enjoyed the company, even though she would likely never confess to it."

"It's ok, really."
She really didn't mind, of course or she wouldn't have been able to say it. She did like being held firmly even if it was uncomfortable at times. It was a comfort to her knowing you wouldn't let go.
Thinking about your suggestion, tilting her head against yours, fingers of her free hand finding your hair to play with it softly
"I don't know. I'm still not sure how I feel about it all. Sometimes I want to, other times I'm not so sure and then others still it's a hard no."
she laughs at her own confusion, sighs softly
"I need to figure that out, somehow, first. At least take one of the options out of there."
Her fingers still playing with your hair, she smiles softly as you talk of them needing someone decent. Then you turn it on you and she presses her lips to yours as her hand moves to your cheek
"You are my choice. I don't regret anything. I believe you are decent."
another kiss to your lips, then smiling as you talk of Robin and Palermo, nodding softly
"It was definitely interesting, but I enjoyed it and enjoyed getting to know her. And yes I would never expect her to confess it.. ever. Even if I was in mortal danger."
and she doesnt begrudge the woman that at all. She knows Robin would try to save her if that were the case. Though she would do her best not to put herself in that kind of danger.

says to Assassin's Delight : After she spent several seconds playing with his hair, he lifted her into his arms, settled onto her warm seat, and cradled her in his lap. "More comfortable," he noted, continuing to listen to her as if their positions on the chair hadn't changed momentarily.
"Dear girl," he whispered tenderly as she distracted him this time with a gentle kiss on his lips. His arms tightened around her momentarily, just enough to make it felt, careful not to harm her.
He chuckled, "Even if Robin were in mortal danger." His expression turned serious, "Did she say anything about the city... her thoughts on humans learning more about the supernatural communities?" She remained reserved about it with him, and he still hesitated to bring up the topic with her.

The whispered words brought a bigger smile, her face nuzzling softly to yours, sighing softly.. content in your arms. she also chuckles at your words of Robin, nodding softly at that
"Oh even then."
there is a soft shake of her head
"No, she didn't. Though I think she may breach the subject at some point. Just a feeling I have."
You can feel her relax fully in your arms as fingers trace along your chest. Yep she enjoys these moments. Well any moment with you, even if you are kicking her ass in training.
(05/10/24 10:23:41 pm) Shadowed Assassin ✢ GIULIO DA SILVANO ✢ V A M P I R E It is our power you will fear. | Chicago - The Presidium | ..:Library, Cross Tower Penthouse:.. ..Chicago Downtown District.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to ALL: He relished the sensation of her fingers playing on his chest, briefly intertwining his fingers with hers before he reclined his head back onto the chair. He remained silent, savoring their shared silence for a few moments before he spoke.
"The weather has warmed up since your time on the island; would you like to return?" he asked, turning to gaze at her. "Perhaps take some of your newfound knowledge," he gestured towards the books, "and put it into practice. Spare Robin's training room?" His chuckle resonated once more. "How about some time away?" He had felt her absence keenly and yearned to make the most of the quiet spells between Robin's demands and the Corporation's obligations.
With Laoisa's presence, his time had become even more precious.
(05/10/24 10:35:28 pm) Assassin's Delight | L A O I S A | F A E Far is saimhche an uisge, s ann is doimhne e Where the water is stillest, it is deepest | Chicago - The Presidium | ..:Library, Cross Tower Penthouse:.. ..Chicago Downtown District.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Shadowed Assassin✢: She enjoyed these times as well. A smile as fingers intertwine. Her head resting on your shoulder in that shared silence.
She'd missed you as well when they were gone. Smiling more as you speak of the island and her eyes lightly slightly as you suggest going back for more training.
She nods softly, she'd like some time away.. not just to practice what she's been learning either.
"Yes I think that would be a good idea. Some things I can't practice here, well I can but not without breating suspicion or shaking things and scaring people. Which, sometimes isn't a bad thing, but probably not unless I need to."
ok, it's true, the few times she'd practiced moving things in the earth she made a few people think there was an earthquake. And made them seem crazy when they asked if she felt it.. she just stared at them with wide eyes until they left asking each other if they were going mad. It was fun. She can admit that.
