Problem Child [Mathew/invite]

[Mathew Amtrum]

"Who?"

[Delilah A. Black]

Delilah almost burst out laughing. Oh, that was just spot on.

"I got it from one of your intelligence reports. Remember? That guy who came in asking for water?" she raised her eyebrows. "He also insulted Hades to the point where he relieved him of his Qi. And then he got it into his head that he wanted to be a Crow," she let out a tired sigh and shook her head.

"It didn't go well for him."

[Mathew Amtrum]

He scratched his head.

"He came in looking for water?"

He was trying to remember.

"And he insulted Hades? And he isn't dead?"

Weird.

[Delilah A. Black]

She threw her hands up into the air, as if to say YES, THANK YOU, "I know right!?" she brought one of these down to her forehead and remembered the letter in her hand. She would hand it to him with a slight inclination of her head.

"A letter. From me. I figured I would bring it in person since I haven't seen you for a while. Basically...it tells the whole story. And what's going to happen to him as far as it goes with the Crows."

Her voice contained a flat edge here, a hint of the cold authority she had used only yesterday. She forced her thoughts to trail elsewhere and become happier again. "You can open this whenever you like. No rush. Leon and David will be getting the same, as will Kiyr, since we're working with the Sky Force. So will all of the God's. And anyone else he's offended."

[Kyrie Blaze]

There came a knock at the door.

[Mathew Amtrum]

"Oh? Does that mean I get two letters since I'm a Dragon and a God?"

He asked with a grin, moving over to grab the envelope and open it up to read the letter. Not a single care that she was still right there. If it was important enough to put in to writing he wanted to know what it said.

"Come in."

Mathew yelled, reading the letter.

[Delilah A. Black]

The letter would read thusly.

Delilah would look up at the door, an eye brow lifting at the unknown person behind the door.

[Mathew Amtrum]

Mathew just snorted a small laugh and shoot his head. Folding the letter up and shoving it in to his pants pocket.

"Cute."

[Kyrie Blaze]

Kiyr pushed open the door and looked around as she turned, shutting it to take her shoes off and finish entering. Listening and looking around with no small amount of curiosity. She hummed softly in the back of her throat and went on a brief search.

Very brief.

Soon the blonde was blinking her wide blue eyes in surprise. Not at Mathew--that was who she expected. But at Delilah? Oh yes.

But! She inclined herself forwards, hand over her heart.

"Earth Dragon. First Crow, Delilah Black."

...if she had to address them by all of their titles she may just weep...

[Delilah A. Black]

Delilah arched a brow at Mathew, opening her mouth to ask him how that was cute before Kiyr walked in. The mechanic blinked --though she shouldn't be so surprised-- and bowed in the same manner as the young blonde woman.

"Sky-force Intelligence Captain Kiyr Barrial. Nice to see you again."

She turned back to Mathew. "'Cute' how?"

[Mathew Amtrum]

He ignored Delilah's question for the moment as he tilted his head at Kiyr's title. A dangerous smile playing across his lips.

"Oh, new promotion Kiyr? How... interesting."

The Cheshire smile grew.

[Bastille Amtrum]

Bastille was upstairs sleeping....something she didnt usually do well lately. Not because her children woke up, ironically the opposite. They usually slept silently through the night (at least through bastilles shifts), which Bastille had never registered as normal and thus spent most of her time staying up just to make sure they were okay. So she napped when she could because unless Mathew was forcing her to stay put, she was up hovering.. She heard the door open and willed herself to sleep longer...but after a couple minutes she woke up again. Well sleep was impossible now. She rose and headed down stairs, her hair was stuck into a messy bun and she was wearing a sweatshirt, and jeans. She also had on snowman socks...oddly mismatching her entire outfit. She sauntered into the room quietly and looked around at the people there. Her crimson eyes looked tired- but she didnt seem to be grumpy. Instead she just went to the stove and started reheating the tea she'd made two days prior. Usually shed go flop on mathew...put public displays were still a work in progress.

[Kyrie Blaze]

Kyrie was not ashamed. But--she still had the good grace to be ashamed of her poor information-communication with the man who - even in his absence - was her Master. She drew in a very slow breath and squared her shoulders. It was actually something else on top of the main issue she had come to takl about, but the cat had been let out of the bag by the innocent Miss Black.

Despite the fact she squirmed and quaked internally at the Cheshire Cat Grin that grew ever-wider, she turned to face Mathew directly and inclined her head, having a harder time maintaining her quiet composure with Mathew. There were only two others she had this problem with.

"As always I take full responsibility for my own agreement..." She blinked those wide blue eyes as she spotted a much-leaner Bastille. She intoned softly, not wanting to - by some odd chance - scare Bastille by speaking to her. You never knew. "Greeting to the Voice of the Earth Dragon, Bastille Cunningham.[/i]"

After she flicked her eyes to Bastille...her gaze refocused on Mathew. She did not 'relax', per se. Those internal springs were coiling. She didn't know what he would say, just knew that he would have words with her. She just hoped it was later, once everything was laid out on the table.[/font]

[Delilah A. Black]

Delilah would simply watch, politely bewildered at all the goings on that seemed to be moving around her all at once. Mathew was being scary again (which was much more like him and almost made her forget about his not wanting to hurt the puppies) and Kiyr...had not told her Master about that yet. Well. Shit. Oops. Delilah mouthed 'sorry' to the girl with a wince as she realized. Her bad.

And then Bastille walked in and Delilah burst into a wide smile at the newly thinned woman. "You're looking well," she commented with a smile and a wink. She had so many questions. SO MANY.

But for the moment.

She looked back at Mathew with a questioning raise of her brow. Not done yet.

[Mathew Amtrum]

Mathew slid his way over to his woman and slipped his arm around her waist. Leaning in to plant a quick kiss on her lips, unlike her public displays were not a problem. He turned back to Kiyr and Delilah.

"So Kiyr. I suppose the day has come a lot sooner than I expected. But I suppose it's time for you to make a choice..."

He let the statement hang in the air.
