@Gareth Get well soon!

Judging from Landvarian's words, he was hesitant to divulge his full capabilities. Luca didn't press him. Despite the widepsread belief that magi didn't have any rights, Luca disagreed. Magi or not, everyone had equal rights and he would respect it. Especially when he himself valued his own right to privacy.

He instead, turned his attention to his companion's request, returning Kyras' nod of acknowledgement with one of his own as the assassin passed by.

"Choose a weapon and I'll do my best to procure it for you and teach you how to wield it."

hey what's everybody's favourite day of the week and why?

Mine is Thursday because there's all you can eat Taco thursday at a place close to my house. I'm going to check it out. Next Thursday.

@Gareth

Mine is Saturday. Cause that's the only day that I get off from work.

Tacos are yummy.

Where hearts lie

@Caits Chill. It's okay. I can always edit after yours.

"I don't want you to die..."

Callie's words registered a little late in Caius' mind. "I'm not going to nor do I plan to," he assured her. He gave her hand another reassuring squeeze. He knew better than to assume that she felt as strongly for him as he felt for her. But all the same, it was nice to hear that concern in her voice and see that worry in her eyes. He'd only seen it several times in his life. In the eyes of his foster parents whom he ran away from in the fear of hurting them. In the eyes of his twin sister who was probably running around all over looking for that something she had always been looking for. And finally in the eyes of Silas, the uncle or guardian who always looked out for him. He was a mystery and Caius was no closer to figuring out what or who he was and why he was looking out for him in the first place. He was thankful though. He made a mental note to show his gratitude a little bit better next time they saw each other.

He looked at Callie. It was nice to add her to that list. It gave him a warm feeling.

He shook his head and reminded himself of what was the most important now.

Her safety.

"I would suggest you leave this all behind and start fresh somewhere else but I don't think you're willing to leave behind the coven," he said.

"You have that look."

The statement surprised Luca. Just as the mage's gratitude did. I have what look? Is it THAT obvious? Or... You're not a mind reader, are you? he thought as his piercing blue eyes narrowed slightly at Landvarian, his arms automatically crossing across his chest in a wary posture. He was sure that he kept his face devoid of anything that would give a clue to what he was thinking. And so it was logical that the mage held some sort of psychic abilities if he was able to tell what it was in his head.

When the mage didn't answer and merely asked to talk and walk together, he almost sighed in relief. It wouldn't be good for anyone to know what he was thinking. He also didn't appreciate it. His thoughts were his alone. But the white cat was right. He was curious about what he was capable of. And since he was offering to talk, he was probably willing to tell him. He posture relaxed a bit and he pushed away from the wall. He gave Landvarian a curt nod. "Yes, let's walk together," he agreed.

"You're right, by the way. I would appreciate it if you told me about your capabilities. It would help me to keep you safe," he figured that asking straight out was the best thing to do at this point. And then as if he read his companion's mind, he added. "In return, ask from me anything you want. If I am capable of granting it, I will."

Luca was leaning back on the wall with his eyes closed, thinking forward to their journey. A journey to the wasteland was sure to be perilous. He'll need to know each person's strengths and weaknesses if he was to protect anyone. Especially the mages. From what he can tell, the human mage would most probably be a wielder of life magic. If she has healing capabilities, then that would serve everyone well...given that she would actually lend her powers to people who had oppressed her her whole life. And the other mage, the one he gave clothes to...

"...Thank you. I really like the colors."

Luca wasn't really expecting any gratitude and was surprised when he heard his new companion approach and thank him. He opened his eyes and turned them towards the mage. "You're welcome," he responded in a tone that matched the even look on his face. He looked at Landvarian for a moment as he introduced himself and gave him a small nod. "Luca Stormgrim," he spoke his name in return. "We will be travelling together from here on out, you can relax around me."

His words might not mean anything to the mage but he said it anyway. It was the most he can say to show friendliness.

@Caits

You're not what you appear to be, wolf.

The words echoed in Caius' mind. What did the witch mean? Did it have something to do with why a spell meant to kill failed to bring him down?

"There's no need to say sorry. No matter what happens, I'll be here and I'll protect you," Caius reached out and hugged Callie as he made the promise. There was no way he would leave her alone now. If the witches in her old coven wanted her dead, then he can't leave her side. He won't allow any harm to befall her. He would fight til his last breath to keep her safe.

He slowly released her from his hug and took her hand in his. He intertwined his fingers with hers and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. "Where else do you need to go?" he asked.

A Game of Love

Nico and Caity

_{Collaboration of: @Kyrisse and @Light the Dark}

Nico, being absorbed in his memories, failed to notice the set up of Caity's house and how part of his house design seemed to have incorporated themselves into their surrounding. He laid his still half filled cup on the table and it magically disappeared, only to be replaced by a new clean cup which he watched Caity fill with coffee. The smell of the coffee and her question brought him out of his reverie. "Yeah, we dated for almost a year," he admitted.

"Wait. What?" Caity stared at him, brows raised. "I get that she's pretty, Nico, but... She doesn't seem very nice." She took a long sip of coffee. Maybe it wasn't her place to criticize Nico's choices, but wasn't that what friends did? "Unless you were thinking with a different head than the one that holds your brain..." The last part she added softly - her tone was teasing but friendly.

"She is aloof and can be difficult to deal with..." there seemed to be a but there but he trailed off and then chuckled. "Well... yeah, I am a guy so sometimes I don't think with my brain," he admitted. It was nice having a normal conversation once in a while with someone who might actually think of him as a real person than a celebrated actor.

Caity shook her head and chuckled. "Being a guy is no excuse. In my opinion, the only desire to be ruled by is the desire for coffee." She held up her coffee mug in a toast. "I don't know about you, but I'd marry coffee if I could. It's hot, dark, and smells amazing... Which may or many not be my requirements for a human lover too come to think of it." She added the last part with a grin.

Nico reached out for the cup Caity filled for him and took a sip from it. He grinned. "So you like your men hot, dark and good smelling, huh? I think I can fit into those category easily," he winked at her, settling into a comfortable banter. He even made an exaggerated move to smell himself. "At least I don't think I smell that bad."

Caity laughed. She hadn't thought she'd enjoy talking to Nico as much as she did. He was cute and funny - if a flirt. Though his winking made her blush, she didn't feel uncomfortable around him. Maybe he wasn't as shallow as the Hollywood gossip made him out to be. (Not that she actively read Hollywood gossip.)

"I haven't been close enough to tell." She teased. "I'll let you know at the fairy prom. I'm guessing there'll be a slow dance or two. I'll be sure to take a sniff." Caity paused, then grimaced. "Wait. That sounds creepy. Forget I said it."

Nico chuckled. Caity was a breath of fresh air. He wondered what she thought of him. The magazines don't exactly paint him in a really good light.

She rested her arms on the table, propping her chin on her hands. Caity hadn't forgotten that he seemed to have more to say about the model. She wondered if it was her place to pry. But then, she didn't want to talk about her ex's - she just happened to be lucky enough not to have them here in fairy land.

Her heart gave a tug. What if they really were stuck here forever? Sure, she seemed to have a friend here, but... Her family wasn't here. Her other friends were back in the real world. "Do you think we're really stuck here forever?" Her voice was soft. What would her Grammie do without her there to help with the difficult chores? "What about our families?"

When she mentioned being stuck in the place they were in, Nico lost the teasing look and his lips curved down into a frown. "While this place is unique and strangely fascinating, I think it would definitely suck to be stuck here. I've got loads of responsibilities back home. The movie we're filming is just about done." He scratched the back of his head. "Would probably be a good idea to ask about that later in the ball. Their queen and king are meeting us there, right?"

"I guess so. As long as we can get a word in. I don't know what a ball with fairies is like." Caity took a deep breath and let it out slowly. No sense in going into a panic about it yet. There would be time for that later, when she was alone. As long as she could hold off until then, she'd be fine.

"I guess I should get ready for this damn thing." Caity pulled a face. Getting ready for prom had been an experience she hadn't planned on repeating. And she didn't like getting ready for dates, either. Not that going with Nico to the fairy prom was a date. Right? It wasn't like that. He agreed to go with her to spite his ex, that's all. "If you want to take a book or something, go ahead. I have more than enough. I mean, you might be a movie star, but you're still a guy. I doubt you'll take that long to get ready. Might as well be entertained while you wait for moonrise, instead of primping."

"I've no idea what to expect either. I mean, it's not all the time I get kidnapped by fairies." Nico chuckled again as he nodded. "Yeah, you go ahead and get ready. I'll get out of your hair in the meantime and walk around outside. I'll come get you when it's time," he finished the rest of the coffee, stood up and made his way to the door. Before he stepped out of the house, he shot Caity a grin. "Thanks for the coffee, by the way."
