He steals another quick kiss then closes the distance between them and the demon. Love you princess. Hold the fort while I'm gone alright? Sorry to abandon you to your grandmother like this. He smirks softly then nods to Grig. The demon puts his hand on the young man's shoulder, winks at Mir, then ...

Grig: Not really too much time, but too many things have happened in that time. You get your dad back honey, the dad you need now and the person Dylan needs to be now. He frowns, really wishing he could hug the girl and comfort her. She feels a squeeze from invisible arms Best I can do at the moment...

Grig: He will never be the exact person he once was, too much has happened, but with time and hard work, I think he can get very close to who really is. He is needed by so many, and wanted by so many more, he has to start realizing that and stop being so damn selfish. I have hope this time will be t...

He chuckles Good point. I'm not planning on dying at all. He looks at Grig and takes a deep breath Just give me a moment to write a letter to Mom and grab a small bag. He gets up and heads toward his room, running a gentle hand across Mir's shoulder as he passes her.

He nods at her The only way I won't come back at least to say goodbye is if I'm dead.

At the mention of Phelen he sighs softly No, Phelen doesn't need to know, not yet. He sighs again. That will come in time. I can contact Unk. I am one of his breed remember. The General will hear my call. Mom isn't a good idea. You know how she gets when it comes to me Mir, and you also know she ca...

He returns her embrace, holding her tightly as if afraid she would run away, or simply disappear. He chuckles softly. Have you been practicing like you are supposed to, or have your queenly duties taken you away from the skins? The moment of lightness was needed, and he takes it for what it is

He takes a deep breath before answering, wanting to be nothing but truthful. I... I honestly don't know. What I do know though is that I have to. I have to leave Ebony in the past where he belongs, or I will never be able to move forward again. He meets her eyes, holding them as he speaks And I hav...

He shakes his head. No, not to make you feel better, not again. He runs his hands through his hair, scratching at the back of his neck. I'll talk to Unk. There has to be some kind of monster rehab right? It would mean I would be gone again, at least for awhile. He looks at her. He is never coming h...

Cool. You'll have to introduce me. He spaced out for a few moments, then sighs and looks at her. At this point she knows what is coming, the apologies, the asking for forgiveness, the self abasement for the pain he has caused. However.... I need help Mir, we can't keep living this way, it isn't fai...

He thinks about that for a minute, his brain skipping over the meaning behind there being no word on anyone else. He still hadn't come back. Good, I'm glad they are alright. How are PJ and Jenny taking it? He look another draw from the stone, looking more and more normal with every passing moment.

Sorry mom. He smirks at her as he takes the bloodstone Thank you. He puts the stone to his lips and takes a long pull from it. Instantly his color improves and when he opens his eyes they look less feverish How long was I out this time? He should be begging for her forgiveness, but the words were a...

After brushing his teeth he looks at himself in the mirror and has to force himself not to shatter the piece of glass with his fist. He looked like he felt, eyes hollow, feverishly glassed over, and slightly sunken, hair disheveled and bearing a strong resemblance to straw. He was very pale because...
