An old...friend. *Simbi said softly, having to pause to decide what the last word would be. It did not sound like the word friend fit whoever this Odilia person was. He chuckled at her comment, shaking his head* Don't worry mon Cheri, I was speaking to her, not to you. *The god saw the exhaustion co...

*Simbi listened closely, releasing her when she wished him too. A very soft smile appeared on his face as he watched her* Odilia we meet again. *He chuckled softly to himself, brushing his hand through his hair. He closed his eyes* Même maintenant, ton entêtement me suit, ma lune chérie *The words w...

We were thinking one of Agwe's wives. We have something to offer them and neither are likely to hurt or humiliate you. *When she joked about slapping the woman of the wood Simbi grabbed her uninjured wrist, bringing it up toward his face to get her attention* Seo Hwa do not take this malady lightly....

*Simbi noticed the way she stiffened at his touch and quickly pulled is hand away, closing his eyes as he silently scolded himself. At her outburst a tiny smirk appeared* Life with the Loa isn't easy *The question brought on a moment of silence but when he did start speaking it was with soft apolog...

*Simbi cradled her like a babe. When she complained of pain he picked up her hand gently put the welt to his lips, numbing the pain with a kiss. The god watched her with sad eyes, unable to carry his usual indifference or snarkiness* Bakulu sabotaged my being. I was tainted by an owl skull, a very ...

*Simbi turned her slightly, settling her her head against his shoulder so she could cry as much as she wished. He continued to rock her* The situation has gotten worse. *He said quietly, not wanting to upset her but not willing to lie to her either* It is going to get harder, several times harder a...

*Simbi let her struggle, doing his best to restrain her without hurting her. When the world cleared around her she found herself in her room but it was blue and water dappled, a bubble of air at the bottom of the ocean it seemed. She had her back against his bare chest, head tucked under his chin, ...

*Simbi rubbed at his neck, leaning his head back some as he did* If she isn't willing then there is no chance. When have you ever seen Rada possess an unwilling human? *He rolled his head some to look at the other god sarcastically* Agr... *He paused, head tilting some as his shadows bubbled whispe...

*Simbi rolled his eyes at the other* If you say so. *He thought it over then looked up at Sobo, forehead wrinkled and mouth twisted in a sneer* You think he has a choice? We have no offerings suitable for powerful spirits and she has no report with anyone, it isn't like she is a hogun, but we need ...

*Simbi gave him a look before rolling his eyes* More letting you know. Lightning may be quick to strike but it doesn't often stay long enough to learn anything *He smirked but it fell as he looked back at the door. A thought struck him and he glanced at Sobo* What if another mounts her first? The b...

*Simbi took one extra moment to look over her* I'm so sorry Seo Hwa *He whispered, pushing some hair back from her face before following Sobo out. He nodded to the other's suggestion* Agreed. *Shadows fueled not only by his power but by Bakulu's as well surrounded the beach house ensuring she and A...

That's what I just said. *Simbi raised an eyebrow at the confusion* If she asks for him to be tossed in a hole I will be obligated to do so. I will take very, very little pleasure in it I assure you *The sarcasm was obvious. That whole line of thought fell away as Sobo ran into the house. Simbi foll...

If she rejects him I owe her more than a favor *The warning was obvious as his eyes turned to slits. When the shadows returned with nothing at all his unease actually spiked instead of calmed. There were four gods residing in the house and one chained outside, the chances of nothing coming back for ...

Bade needs to watch himself or I will shove him into a dark hole where no one can hear him. *Simbi threatened in a dull, unamused voice. He pushed his hand through his hair, puffing it some* She belongs to no one but especially not to him. *He looked hard at Sobo when he mentioned an owl skull* Owl?...

*Simbi swallowed hard against the guilt that was eating at his insides* I feel I can trust you with my death then. Thank you *Something of a compliment coming from any Loa who valued their power.* It might have ended up better if you had intervened, agreed. *He glanced over when the other god pause...

*Simbi shut the door behind him as quietly as he could before leaning against the railing next to Sobo. He didn't seem alarmed or upset or even surprised that the other god was there just nodded in reply to his question* Yes. *Thoughts were left unsaid, so heavy Sobo could feel them hanging in the ...

*Outside the moon was high and bright, pulling at the waves until they crashed violently onto the shore. Somewhere a dog howled and the grinning beast chained in the back answered with his own long lonely sound. Inside the world was quiet, the ocean muted by the walls that kept them safe and the ho...
