Writer's Notebook

[Hans Bloodsmith]

"Ah, sure." Was his answer as he started to undone his old clothes.
A few minutes later, the now freshly dressed Zehn come out from behind the curtained door. The armor and previous clothes now safely keeped in his stomach/pocket dimension. He made a mental note to polish the steel plate after this, lest rusts from blood and water coated it.
''Done, how do i look?" He ask with a smile, the jeans was a bit tight in his opinion, but he will trust Eris' judgement on fashion any day. .....Though, why did the other female customer keep looking at him (especially his rear) like he was a piece of meat?

 

[CordeliaCross]

Eris bit her lip a little shyly. "Those erm- look very good," she blushed. She also passed him two pairs of plaid pajama pants, two pairs of sweat pants, a couple pairs of gym shorts, and more tshirts. Then she handed him a black leather jacket as well.

"Let's see what you like," she smiled.

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

"Thanks. Hmm, we probably might as well buy it for Levi. I think she's a bit.... uncomfortable wearing your clothes or Casryth." Especially since she basically drown in them, its kind of funny seeing that because his sister petite body, she looks like a child trying to wear their older sister or mother dress.
Shaking his head to banish the image of his glaring dagger sister, he take the leather jacket and try them, its really gonna help him agains the cold of the place, considering they're pretty close to a mountain range.

 

[CordeliaCross]

"I think we should bring Levi to the atone across the street so she can pick out things she likes. Maybe Casryth, Liz, and I can bring her and you can hang out with Liam, Marcus and Cain," Eris smiled.

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

At the mention of the unfamiliar (yet familiar) name he look at the Dhampire with a questioning look.
"Who's Cain?" He know Marcus were Lizbeth's husband and Eliana's Father. But he pretty sure he's never met the last name mentioned.

 

[CordeliaCross]

"He is your sister's friend. He is Marcus' brother. He isn't looking to date or anything, but he lost his wife awhile back, she was killed. Levi and him bonded last night at the banquet. They both understand eachother," Eris said with a sad smile. "They make good friends."

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

"Well, that's good...he sounds like a pretty swell guy." Hes responses, all people that were friends with his sister automatically became a friend in his book, considering she (or all Prince's in general) rarely have one. Though, he started to think that all the people he meet has a tragic past one way or another. Either it's coincidence or the world are just really messed up.
After shaking his head to banish the depressing thought, his eyes got caught by one of the item weared by a strange faceless puppet (he later learned that they're simply called a 'Mannequin') was a beautiful red gown made from a finest quality silk, the piece of clothing appear to be decorated with shards of tiny crystal that reflecting the light around it and not gonna be out of place in a royalties wardrobe.
His eyes look to the gown, then at Eris, then the gown again before finally a huge smile made his way into his face.
He quickly talk to the store owner, pointing at the gown a few time before reaching into his pocket and showing her a ping pong size, pure quality sapphire gem. Eris swear, she almost afraid the store owner eyes will pop out of its place by how she widening her its.
Almost like a wind, the owner quickly take off the gown from the mannequin, give it to the smiling Zehn before proceed to thank him like he was a saint coming down from heaven.
The Demon walk toward his girlfriend, a smile on his face before Taking a hold of her hand, he half drag her into the changing room before giving her the gown. The message was clear.

 

[CordeliaCross]

Eris laughed and quickly changed into the gown, putting her old clothes into her bag. She pinned her hair back and put a little red blossom in it. She looked nervously in the mirror hoping Zehn would like it. "I'm coming out," she said nervously. "H-how do I look?" she asked blushing almost as red as her gown.

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

Zehn, to put simply, petrified. His brain seems failing to put a word to describe her. And he was not the only one either, almost all the male customers in the store look at Eris like she was a Goddess that descended into the realm of mortal.
A slap from one of the guy girlfriend bring him back to reality, as he blink a few time to clear his slightly dazed eyes.
A gentle smile finally come to his face as he walk toward her and give her a big hug.
"You looks too beautiful for words to describes, My Love." He whispered before give a kiss to the top of her red crown, though silently give a glance at the other man in the room. His eyes narrow dangerously as the threads was apparent in the the air. ''She's Mine. So kindly Duck off."

 

[CordeliaCross]

She blushed and gave him a deep kiss knowing that he felt a little jealous. This made the other guys snap out of it and walk away. "You don't have to worry about them, I love YOU," she smiled as he relaxed in her arms.

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

"I love you too, my love." He whisper back before landed a few kisses into the soft red curtain of her head. They stay like that for a few moments before they realize they're now the center of attention, with few onlooker clap theirs hands and blowing wolf whistle's toward the pair.
".....L-lets go back and meet the other? I've already paid all the clothes anyway." He break the ankward tension as he feels Eris almost burning from embarrassment as she hide her face on his jacket.

 

[CordeliaCross]

They took off through the town, holding their bags of clothing. They dropped them off at Eris' home before rushing to Casryth's home to meet up with everyone. When they got there, Cain and Levi were chatting away as Levi cared for Ellie.

"Hello brother," Levi said with a smile. "This is Cain." Levi was excited to finally have a friend that didn't tell her she was silly for feeling how she does. Casryth and Eris don't count. They're family, and you don't always listen to family.

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

Zehn take a closer inspection to the taller guy, blond hair, brown eyes, probably in his mid to late twenties wearing full armored uniform with Casryth and Liam's insigna on it, he can feels knighty aura literally coming out from the guy.
Offering his hand for a handshake which he graciously accept, the demon give the knight a easy going smile. "Cain right? The name Beelzebub, but you can just call me Zehn. Its a pleasure to finally meet you, Eris has told me good things about you....and how you're now a friend of my dear sister." His grip on the armored gauntlet tightened a bit, as he sure he can crush the metal along with its inside if he so wish. "Which automatically made you a friend of mine, please....take care of us." ......'you die of you duck up' if you prefer the translation.

 

[CordeliaCross]

Cain shook his hand, never backing down, staying firm. "And nice to meet you as well," he smiled.

Ellie cooed and pulled at the bottom of Zehn's jacket showing him she wanted him. "Okay little one," he smiled and took Ellie from Levi.

"Where are Liam, Dobby, and Cas?"

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

"Cas and Liam currently in the outskirts, they have s few words with the Fae." She explain with a shrug, her expression then turn into an amused one. "The little Dobby.... let's say that those alcohol from last night finally catch up with his body."

 

[CordeliaCross]

"I would imagine so, he was drunk as a fish. did he make it home alright?"

"The Succubi dropped him off. He was knocked out. Cain helped me get him upstairs and into a bed," Levi smiled.

Ellie giggled and reached out to Zehn, she missed him.


On the other side of town:

"Are there any other accommodations you may need? There is a market just up the road with a lot of shops and supplies, In each of your new homes you will find a small lock box with gold and trinkets that can be traded in the market for goods, and if you are looking for work outside of farming, there is a job board posted in both taverns in town," Casryth smiled.

"We can get you the information for the schools for your younglings as well," Liam smiled at the little girl.

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

"Hey there, Princess." He half cooed to the baby as she wave her pudgy hands in delight.
Making sure they don't caught his eyes (he already learned that lesson), the Demon gently rock the baby in his arm, making her giggle innocently. And making him want to became a parent more unknowingly.... dang.
Suddenly his mind wonder toward the Elves, especially the little Elf girl that he and Liam has saved from the Wendigo's. He's curious how are they doing right now....and that spark an ides in his mind.
He give a look at his sister, the Knight and the Dhampire, the former two now has another discussion involving the history of Demon army while the later now watching him and Eliana with a gentle smile on her face.
Returning the smile, he then voice his thought.
"Ehh, Dear Sis? My Love? Can Elli and I visit that new Fae village?" He ask while making sure thay Elli's innocent eyes meet theirs. Persuasion, children are expert on those.

On the town
The little girl shy a bit as she hide herself behind Theorama's legs, earning a good natured chuckle from the adults.
"We can thank you enough for your kindness, King Liam. Our village has been mostly rely on farming, so that's should be no problem. A few of them also has experience as hunters and healer's, so we can at least contribute to the town." Hes usual smile turn bitter as he gently pat the little girl's head.
"Education has always been a problem in our old place, we usually had the elder be the one that teach the youngs.....Little Cynthia here are actually one of the youngest children in our village...." 'That has survive ' the silent message filled with solemnity as he give a smile to the girl, Cynthia.

 

[CordeliaCross]

"We have plenty of children in the town, some older than Cynthia, some her age, and some far younger. We also have several teachers who teach different types of lessons. Some are in math, science, and history. Others are about learning the different common languages in the area. And then we also have art classes, athletics classes and even courses that teach the younglings survival skills and occupational skills so that they are ready for the adult world," Casryth smiled. "What is your favorite thing to learn about?" she asked Cynthia smiling.

"I-I like Earth Science, learning about plants and things. I also love to paint," she said quietly.

"That's perfect, I know a few classes you would definitely like then," Casryth said with a smile. Cynthia excitedly took off to get something from one of the other women.

"Who is she going to be staying with? I heard her family perished in the attack," Liam asked sullenly.



~*~ At the Manor ~*~

"I would actually like to come with you, brother. They may need help getting settled," Levi said with a smile. "Would you like to come, Cain?"

"I would love to," he smiled.

"Let's go then, Dobby should be asleep for a few more hours. When he wakes up I can make him some pancakes to soak up the alcohol," Eris smiled.

They quickly gathered Ellie's Diaper back and headed out toward the other end of the town.



~*~ At the new Elven Dwellings ~*~

"We have not yet decided who she will be staying with. Everyone is still reeling from the attack," Theorama spoke sadly. "We will find her a family to live with. We do not wish for her to be alone or to suffer any more than she already has."

"You said she was one of the youngest, are there any other younglings in need of a home?" Liam asked. Just as Cain, Levi, Eris, Zehn, and Ellie arrived.

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

Cynthia face lighten up like a Christmas tree as she look at the Demons that save and heal her. Still holding a small bag filled with grain from another women, she's half run into the group. Zehn, sensing her attention already quickly but gently give the baby Eliana to Levi's arm as he brace himself with a smile.
The blond haired missile known as Cynthia takle hug him right in the stomach as he catches the little girl with ease....only for a small bag of grain landed onto his head with a "thud"
''Of...Miss you too Little Girl." He said with a smile as Cynthia burry her face into his stomach.

 

[CordeliaCross]

"We found something by where we found you," Eris said smiling and reaching into her bag. She pulled out a little doll and handed it to Cynthia. "Was this yours?"
