Hitoraki Shrine..Beach Style

[Lasia Able]

Having been planning to move to California to go to the new school, Tsubame had used her money to purchase a beach house that was restyled to look like her shrine on the inside. The house was complete with twenty rooms, including ten bedrooms a living area two kitchens, a bar int he downstairs and even an indoor hot spring. The house while fully stocked is rather empty as it for the time being is just Tsubame living there. the house's walls are reinforced with metal not only to hold up to hurricane class winds and debris, but also against forced entry. Nothing short of a tank is getting in.

The house in short it Tsubame's home now and she has room for any of her friends that she might make or any old allies that needed someone where to stay for a time.

Tsubame groaned as she opened the door to her house. She was sweating as she had carried Vetis all the way from where she had been and had arrived at her house. With a deep sigh she lugged him to her couch and laid him down before falling back sighing. She raised her arm and wiped the sweat off her face sighing. While Vetis rested she made her way to her room. After that walk she needed a shower and a change of clothes. Seh entered her room and pulled out her set of silk priestess robes to change into after her shower.

She shucked her sweaty clothes and stepped into the shower sighing a bit. She let the cool water wash over her body.
'Ahhh..'' she thought for a bit. Vetis would have his choice of rooms that was for sure as there were plenty. Also if he woke up he would find the fridge nearby filled with plenty of food and drink. All in all there was everything anyone would need at her house

[Vetis]

Random image of violence flashed through Vetis mind as he dreamt the twisted dreams of a troubled man. However this was a world he had chosen to live in and these sorts of thoughts didnt really have the same effect as it would a moral person. Even in his dreams as he was fighting an endless losing battle he wouldnt stop fighting the countless hordes of faceless enemies.

As he rolled of the coach and fell onto the floor he awoke. There was a tinge of pain in his neck where he had been struck by Tsubame. The back of his head also hurt for some reason as there was a mild lump there. Even having just awoke Vetis felt the pangs of fatigue and hunger acheing his body. He had assumed that he was in the house of Tsubame. At least he remembered their conversation before everything had gone black. Still it would be rude to wander around an unfamliar house and start going through her things no matter how hungry he was.

As he became more accustomed to his enviroment he heard the sounds of water running. Someone was definately in the shower. Still unsure of where exactly he was there was nothing good that could come out of looking. If it was Tsubame anger would ensue. If it was anyone else anger would ensue. If it was anyone else and male anger would ensue followed by an awkwardness of dude I dont know you and your naked as all hell. No Vetis felt it was best to lay on the coach until someone made their way to him. With a sigh he made himself comfortable and patiently waited.

Tsubame finished her shower as she sighed a bit. Running into Vetis was something she had never excepted to do whens he came all the way out here. At yet he was here on her couch...what were the odds of that ever happened? Shaking her head again she dried off and slipped into the silk robes sighing contently. The smooth silk was always comfortable, hence the reasons he always wore them around the house.

She made her way back downstairs to see that Vetis was indeed awake. "So your up..that was a pretty painful looking fall you had" she walked over to the fridge as she pulled out a can of tea. Cracking the tops he took a sip before looking back at Vetis. "You thirsty or hungry? I've got plenty to eat and drink..and if you want I can cook you something"

[Vetis]

With the speed of a jungle cheetah he eagerly shook his head yes at the prospect of a home cooked meal. He may have even drooled a little bit but he wasnt sure nor did he care. Food sweet non fast or microwaveable food. Then a horrid thought crossed his mind, what if her cooking was just awful. Hunger was indeed the best spice but there really was only one way to find out.

Then he noticed something else when visions of meat and potatos stopped dancing around his head. Tsubame was looking rather good in her silk robes. Like really good. 4 years and a few gallons of milk had done her body good.He turned his head away so he wouldnt get caught staring at the girl. The reunion was awkward enough as is without hormones getting in the way. He let his eye wander around her home. Rather plain perhaps she had just gotten to the area herself or perhaps it was simply that she wasnt the kind to keep visual memories of her life story.

[Lasia Able]

"Hmm...alright then" Tsubame pulled out some fresh beef and a few potatoes. She was used to her normal fare of lite food, cooked in tasty sauces but something heavy like beef and potatoes was not beyond her cooking ability. Slicing the beef into one inch slices she tossed them into a pan before pouring a dark sauce over them. The meat cooked slowly boiling int he sauce as she turned her attention to the potatoes. She began to slice them into thin dine thick slices before she tossed them into a pan with melted butter and salt.

She turned back to the meat as the sauce thickened and she took a small bite of one of the slices. It was a little spicy but still tasted very good. Removing the meat form the pan she placed it on a plate. It was then she turned back to eh potatoes which had turned golden with a crispy crust. she ate one o them nodding before she added them tot he plate. Getting out a can of tea and a small loaf of bread she placed them all on the table. "Eat as much as you want there is plenty.." She paused as she saw Vetis stare at her.
'Is there something wrong?"

[Vetis]

Vetis turned his attention to the plate and shook his head no as she asked what was wrong. Apparently she had noticed his lustful stare but innocent as she was could not percieve its meaning. A good thing cause he didnt really know what to do. However there was food in front of him and it smelled rather good. As he dug in it turned out she was a rather proficient cook indeed. After 3 plates of Beef and potatoes were scarfed down and an entire pot of tea was drank Vetis felt full. He looked over at Tsubame approvingly. And now what he thought to himself. Guess I could do the dishes or something...

With that thought Vetis headed over to the kitchen to clean up to at least show his gratitude for the meal she had made him. This also brought him time to figure out what exactly to do. He really didnt have anywhere else to go but he really couldnt stay here could he? Even so what would the rest of the night entail. Well the time to think was starting to end as the dishes were getting done. Only his glass was left.

[Lasia Able]

Tsubame laughed a bit as she watched Vetis eat. "You would think you have not had a meal in days Vetis..." She paused as she realized that that could very well be the case. She watched as he finished and got up and began washing the dishes. "thanks.." She would have washed them herself but it was nice that he had manners. "So then..." Tsubame finished her tea as she sat down on a chair. She was thinking about where they would go from here. Sure she did not mind if Vetis stayed here but still she wondered if he would really be ok with it.

"Ok Vetis listen." She crossed her arms as she sat back. "Your welcome to stay here as long as you want to..I have more than enough money to pay for the extra utilities and I do own this place." She paused as she let him digest this information. "I have a spare room you can do what you please with and we can probably furnish it as you wish..thing is do you really want to stay here? If so then stay as long as you want"

[Vetis]

Leave it to a woman to make the man make the call. At this point it really wasnt much of a choice, as far as staying he had more or less made up his mind that he would. But to not take advantage of her he would have to do something for money. That he would figure out on his own in due time. The question was what would he do with her right now. What could he do? As she extended her offer verbally he nodded yes that he would stay and he walked back in to the living room and sat back on the couch.

[Lasia Able]

"Great..if you really feel like you want to earn your keep aroudn here..you can clean..though I do not want you to feel that you must..just would be nice" She smiled a bit as she picked up the TV remote and flicked on the screen. "Hmm...Simpsons.." She smiled a bit as she sat back and watched the cartoon.

"...." As she watched she wondered just what Vetis had been through. Seeing as he could not talk it would be hard to find out. Still she decided to try and ask what had happened. "So then Vetis...just what happened to you all these years?"

[Vetis]

She wouldnt understand, nor could she if he had wished to explain himself to her. He just looked at her for a moment as those words ringed in his head. All he could do was shift his gaze away from her and down. Even for a mute the silence was to much until Homer uttered his phrase D'oh. He looked over at the tv for a moment and smiled before looking back at Tsubame. However as luck would have it there was nothing provided to him for him to express himself.

[Lasia Able]

Oh right duh pen and paper... Tsubame mentally smacked herself as she though about that little fact. Still she had already asked and did not want to increase the awkwardness of the the whole ting by getting the pad and paper. She did smile a bit though as she remembered just what happened when she first had given him pen and paper. She then frowned. Why did getting stabbed int he tendon make her happy.. maybe she needed to seek professional help?

She smiled as she watched Homer smack his head on something before she got up. "Well I'm going to head to my room..you can have the room down the hall" She pointed. "Oh and one more thing." she reached into her robes and pulled out a key and handed it to him. "Your going to need this if your going to live here"

[Vetis]

Vetis got up to accept the key from her but couldnt help himself from giving her a hug one more time. She had actually done him a service that he couldnt repay with mere dishes. Loyalty and friendship. After her reaction he would have a seat on the couch and continue to watch tv. He never did make it to his room that night as he fell asleep watching tv.

(moved to the next day for times sake)

Tsubame entered her home sighing a bit as she held her side. The knee David had slammed into her really had hurt and as such she decided to take a look at it. Walking into the downstairs bathroom she removed her shirt sighing a bit. There was a bruise on her pale skin and that caused her to sigh. she was not vaina bout her looks but a bruise? No girl like that

She washed it before getting some bandages to put over it. It should heal within the weak but until then she would take it easy and try to limit her fights.

[Vetis]

(takes place after the events of (September Event, Familiar Touch, and Potentially Where are all the Mall Cops?)

As Vetis walked in the door he mistakenly barged in on Tsubame in the bathroom which hadnt been closed or locked. Luckily all though there may be a sense of bashfulness there was nothing shown that would merit a smack. This was good as Vetis needed to set his nose back into place and tend to his shank wound. Reluctantly though he found himself a bit more concerned with the large bruise on Tsubame. For her to have a mark like that would mean a pretty decent fighter. He stopped in place staring at the purple mark which stood out so on her flesh fair as snow. There was a bit of concern but he didnt know just what to do. He reached his hand out to place on her shoulder. Comfort perhaps?
