In the early morning hours proceeding the dawn - yes the sun had yet rise ? Rose came strolling in the direction of the manor. It had to be like what? 5am? Them military types should be awake by now or something. Besides, time had always been something Rose never really kept track of very well. And all the creatures of Rhy?Din kept different hours anyway.

She struts right up to it like she owns the place, hips sway in that enticing fashion with each step. A little black leather bodice, and mini skirt barely covering that sexy behind kept her barely from being considered indecent. Tall black boots that came up to her knees echoed in the other wise still morning air. No attempt was made at being quiet. It's not like she was hear to rob them or anything.

Of course there would be guards approaching her now. She would give them a charming smile as she shushed whatever it was they were going to say to her with a wave of her hand. "Now no need to fuss over me fellas. I'm just here to see Gabe."

Rose just gave a cute little wave to every man aiming a gun at her. That smile bright and dazzling as could be. The angelic aura shinning brighter than ever as she made no attempt to dampen the light which came from her very soul. She even would wave to any men that were not visible. Rose was scanning the entire area with her mind as she stepped in the direction indicated. It was a habit of hers.

Head held high she strides towards the balcony. Her eyes glow slightly as her body begins to levitate up and she floats to join Gabe on the balcony. She lands without a sound, emerald eyes fixing him with a stare of such intensity most would find it unnerving.

"So you must be Gabe." Was stated rather than asked. "I need to borrow your sword. The one called the Defender." It was clear from her tone that the situation was quite serious.

"I wouldn't ask if my need were not great... It's a matter of life and death." Was added as an explanation as to why she were being so rude.

Attention would immediately shift to Defender. Piercing emeralds eyed the sword in contemplation for a moment. She had held such a sword before, she could hear the echo of it's voice inside of Gabe's head. A decision was made in that quiet few seconds.

A sexy smile would curl her lips as she took a step forward, still focused on the sword for the now. Her finger tips trail along side of the black blade in a loving fashion. A little quiver running through her form due to the power and energy that passed between the connection of angel with sword.

"You are even more magnificent than I imagined, Defender. I have no desire to attempt to force either of you to do anything. I ask you to come to me because that is what you want." Was stated in an almost breathless voice, full of pure awe.

"You hold him by your will. But your time together is over. Wouldn't you rather hold me?" Was inquired in a voice so suggestive it had to be sinful for it to even fall upon your ears. It seemed improper for an angel to talk in such tones. Her fingers still stroking the blade carefully as her feet carried her along side Gabe.

If Defender was a curse as Gabriel said, then Rose was the cure. She would take the curse as her own because if she did not... Well, she couldn't even think about what might happen should she fail.

Rose would give give a sigh as she shook her head. "Why is it that swords are always so damn picky?" Was asked as she shifted her gaze back to Gabe.

She bites her lower lip in an unusually shy gesture for her. She was so close to Gabe now, a man she had never met before, yet she was considering doing something most drastic indeed. In a way it would be more intimate than physical contact ever could be... But she had to find a way to get him to give her that sword. She would do anything to make sure Darius was safe. Her life had no meaning without him.

She swallowed hard as she looked to him with pleading eyes. "Gabe... I need you to find it in you to do the hard thing here... No one ever said doing the right thing was easy. But if you can do this now... You can truly do ANYTHING." It was a vow, if he could let go of the sword... He would be cured, and maybe he could finally be the hero he had been meant to be.

She gasped as he plunged his hand straight through her body and into her essence. Her eyes wincing shut against what felt like a serious violation of the spirit. After a moment and a few labored breath she looked up to Gabe.

"I swear... I will defend the lives of others..." Was promised honestly. It was the mission of her immortal life, and it was what she was trying to do here. Clearing her throat she continued, "I owe you more than my life for this Gabe. I will find the sword you ask for and bring it to you."

The vow was made and Rose would honor it. A respectful nod was given to him and she disappeared. There was no time to lose.
