[IC] The promised sorcerer bride-break the fate

[Sharidi37495]

Marin growls softly and sighs after she finishes the trick. She stands and goes to the room she heard him sweeping from. "Eric... please don't overwork yourself. I get it if you need to do something because I'm the same way, but if you think I'm just going to stand here and watch you destroy yourself your dead wrong." She sighs and looks down, and when she looks up again, silver lines her eyes. "Promise me. Promise me you won't work yourself to the bone anymore."

[Shadow Dragon]

He takes her hand, softly rubbing his thumb over the back of her hand.

[Vampiretwilight]

Eric suddenly dropped the broom. He sighed and could be heard coming downstairs. He saw her and nodded. He blinked when he saw her eyes. He kissed her on the cheek but was still worried about her eyes.
"..ok."

[Vampiretwilight]

Angel blinked. She blushed a little bit.

[Shadow Dragon]

He smiles, and keeps rubbing her hand, then gently raises it to his lips, softly kissing the back of her hand.

[Vampiretwilight]

Angel looked at him. She wondered where he was going in that head of his.

[Shadow Dragon]

"What....should I do with my magic now?"

[Sharidi37495]

Marin blushes when he kisses her cheek, and a tear streaks down her cheek. "Thank you," she whispers. She clears her throat softly. "I uh... I have work to get back to." She takes a step back but otherwise doesn't move.

[Vampiretwilight]

"...well....nothing evil."
Angel tried not to smirk.

……………………………….

Eric saw the tear. He frowned and tried to wipe it away but she had stepped back. He blinked.
"oh....ok."

[Shadow Dragon]

He shrugs. "Yeah, that's fair."

[Vampiretwilight]

Angel blinked.
"ok."

[Sharidi37495]

Marin takes a deep breath and steps forward, looking into his eyes. "I apologize. I do not mean to cry."

[Shadow Dragon]

He smiles, and summons a burst of sparks that turn into a small bird.

[Vampiretwilight]

"You're eyes turned silver as well."
Eric sounded very worried. He truly cared.
"But now that you say that, why did you cry?"
He frowned.

……………………………..

Angel blinked. She backed up with a gasped. She looked scared after it turned into a bird.

[Sharidi37495]

Mari blinks and they turn red again. "Sometimes I lose control of my power and my feelings influence my transformations. And I cried because..." she sighs. "Every man I've ever loved played a part in their own destruction. And I... I played a part as well. So I'm going to do everything in my power to help you. Even if it means I leave." She takes his hands in hers.

[Vampiretwilight]

Eric shook his head.
"men in my family have always gone in the opposite direction of that upon....."
He wanted to say 'upon falling in love' but he hesitated.
"Well, they have gone in the opposite direction. My father was a stunt driver who was close to loosing his life until he met my mother. After that, he gave it up, got a job at the clock repair shop, and lived a happy family life. my grandfather? same thing, only he was a circus performer and he quit and got a job at a toy store. You see? You have nothing to worry about with me."

[Sharidi37495]

Marin sighs. “That’s not what I mean. My first love destroyed his life by risking being around me when I was reckless and afraid, out of control with my power. After that my former master, Damocles, destroyed his humanity in his search for power. I’m not talking about death, Eric, but the way you were working...” she huffs before adding with slight irritation, “I’m not human and I seem to understand the human phrase ‘work yourself to death’ more than you do.”

[Vampiretwilight]

Eric sighed.
"I was only working so hard because I had to make money. I need to survive. I want to be able to keep this house, and have a family of my own. in fact, if I ever married, I probably would have slowed down because I had someone else to think of. well, I may not be dating the person now, but I do have them to think of."
He faintly smiled in reassurance.
"if it makes you feel better, less worried, i'll slow down while you are living here. I don't want you to cry again because of me."

[Sharidi37495]

Marin blushes faintly and smiles softly when he talks about having a family. “Family...” she says quietly. She sighs. “Thank you. Again I’m sorry about crying. I won’t do it again. I just... as long as I’m living here, we’re surviving together.” Her eyes widen and her face flushes when she realizes what she’d said before.

[Vampiretwilight]

Eric nodded. He managed to faintly smile.
"ok."
He touched her cheek when he noticed her blushing.
