Following the Path of Betrayal...
The Path of Blood
Act 1: After the Fall
~~~~~ "Pain and suffering as they stumble Blood and fear before they learn. Woe betide this Springtime Eden Now the vale of those who mourn." - Anne Rice, Lasher ~~~~~
The altercation between the two had her eyes narrowed down on complete focus. She could not deal with the great amount of information she had received, but snippets of information trickled through.
It felt like an eternity before her mind geared up once again, and finally, her eyes went from Khaw, towards Kaius....Who was alone now" She looked left, then right. She parted her lips to say something, for she could had sworn two more souls were here just a minute ago. "I....I don't know..." She lowered her head, and stared at nothing. Not sure as to what to say, or do. "....Sorry if I....Not sure what you mean..."
He reached out, finger gently slipping under her chin and trying to guide her gaze back towards his own, and holding it there for a moment, "Renna...", the hand lowered again, slowly, if she would meet his eyes, if not, he would keep it there, his touch soft as his voice, "....stop apologizing to me. You've....done nothing to me. His other hand still on the stem of a white rose and he flicked his gaze down to it for only a moment, "....you....really do like the shop, don't you?"
His smile was that of someone who was.....entertained. And yes, he went there.
His smile growing slightly, "....I suppose, you almost certainly must be an adept at pruning and....dead heading."
She clenched her eyes shut. "M-My name is Rosa..." She whispered, "....Renna is....Just another-" And then her memories came flooding back like a punch in the face from an iron anvil.
For that was what it felt like when she jumped off the roof....Khaw looked from his spotting of lady-friends, towards Renna and Kaius, more pointedly, at his touch to her chin....Renna's rust filled eyes trembled, as tears formed, "It makes me happy..."
