Next door to Dalia's room lies Lyric's sanctuary. Dalia rarely comes in here, due to the fact that it is currently haunted by it's previous occupant and victim of Dalia, Cyan. Lyric has found a peaceful place, and she and the spirit of Cyan co-mingle quite well. At least Lyric has someone to talk to about things she's afraid to bring up with Dalia and too embarassed to speak of with Koya. Usually, this is because they are about Koya.

Lyric clambered noisely up the stairs, followed by Chiana and several delivery boys. Lyric was laden down with packages and boxes galore, and was chattering on. Which was why she nearly ran over the two in the shadowed hallway.

"Those go into that room there, you can set them off to the side. The ones I have and those you have back there go in here-oof!" She ran right into the back of Jaden. "Who? What the?"

Fumbling for the door knob, then falling into her room as it opened for her, she dropped all her packages and turned to see who it was that had been lurking outside her bedroom. Speechless, she just stood there and stared. The delivery boy edged past her to gently set the spoils of her massive shopping trip down, clearing his throat and waiting impatiently for his tip.

She shook herself from her blank stare and handed the boys a hefty tip, motioning for Chiana to go into her room. "I'll be there in a sec, Chi. Lemme just...uh..take care of this." Grabbing Jaden by the arm and nodded for Jial to follow her into her room, she shut the door behind her and hissed a whisper,"What are you guys doing here? If Dalia finds you, she'll eat you! And I'm not joking!"

Hands on hips, she stood there, awaiting their answers.

Silently the boy had told her that he had to know about Belle and Valentine. He then told her that when she got the chance that she must come to the castle alone. He had looked to the door a moment bofore the woman came in.

Leaning orward he had planted a soft yurning kiss on her lip. "Please try and come i beg of you." he whisperd touching her cheek sofly before bounding out the window a step behinf Jial.

He ran, but not the way he wanted to. Not the way that his heart longed for him to go. Jaden couldent even look at his master finding himself ashamed.

Lyric was climbing down the fire escape, clinging to the iron rail, praying for silence as she descended toward the street. Koya had argued with her, taking Dalia's instructions far too seriously, if you ask her. She was to be no help, so she complained of faintness, of hunger. Koya had jumped at the chance to do something, and had run off in search of food for Lyric.

Smiling, not feeling the least bit guilty for the tongue lashing Koya was sure to get from Dalia at her disappearance, she lept the final few feet to the ground. Boots silent as she ran, weaving through the streets towards the forest and the castle she seemed to have in instinctive map for in her mind.

She left the confines of the city and her overbearing lover behind, finding pure joy in running full out. Her wings were plucked at by the wind, but she just slid them off, clutched them to her chest, and ran faster. Jaden was there waiting for her, and who knew what else. Perhaps information about her mother?
