The hand against Devin's thigh tightened slightly as he was touched and then shook, the water within the dream beginning to slowly drift back and forth until waves started forming. Within moments, the angel was fighting for his life, trying to stay above the surface as wave after wave came down upon him. The sky above began to rain, the crimson drops falling coldly upon his body as a final wave toppled over his small form, pushing him below the surface. It was when a pale hand reached from within the darkness to grab at his ankle that Elijah woke with a start.
Eyes flashing open, the angel drew in a quick breath, his body tensing when he sensed someone looming above him. Like any other time Tatsu had even woken him, the being grabbed at the wrist within reach and yanked; switching to have Devin on his back and Elijah above him. One hand held the being's wrist, the other went for his throat, the warm flesh giving slightly beneath his grasp. Chest rising and falling quickly, the angel slowly woke, blinking slowly once, then again before he realized who was beneath him. "D-Devin..I"m sorry," he muttered, quickly releasing the demon's throat as he sat back slightly, but did not move from the overhead position he was in above the other.

Hanging his head a little, the angel was about to get off the other when he heard the comment and couldn't help but laugh a little; hand lifting to lightly slap Devin on the shoulder in a playful manner. "It's supposed to be 'Don't worry, I like it rough too'," he teased right back, leaning over to grab a few pieces of wood to throw onto the dying fire.
Elijah didn't bother moving from the position he was in, body turning to toss the wood in and frowning when one landing on top of the first two but then flopped out. Without much thought, he reached into the burning embers and picked up the smoldering piece before carefully placing it over the other two. The fire, which had slowly grown, licked playfully at his hand before the being withdrew it from its warm embrace. "But don't let me put words into your mouth," he added, pale gaze sliding back down to the demon still below him as a sliver of dark hair fell over one eye.

Elijah grinned before he rolled off the other and leaned back against the couch that had somehow survived everything that had been happening the last couple weeks. He normally had to have it fixed or replaced by now. "I'll have Tatsu whip us something up. I'm not leaving you alone again. Last night was...too close for comfort," he whispered, drawing his legs up against his chest with a sad smile. "Too close.." he repeated, head turning to the side to rest against his knees gently.
"I'm going to need a new bed now, you know," the angel stated, gaze sliding along the blood dried sheets with a sigh. Of course the sigh turned into another smile and he sat up, leg lifting to poke his foot playfully at Devin's side. "You, mister, are in need of another shower. So up," Elijah stated, slowly getting to his feet himself before he held a hand out to help the other demon stand.

ooc| Sorry, had work all day today. Am back now and ready to play =)
Helping the other to his feet, Elijah held onto the hand as he guided them both back into the bathroom; the remains from last night's event no longer littering the bottom of the shower. "I have already told you once before, I am not going to keep you here. You are free to leave. It is obvious that them sending those three the other night meant that any negotiations have come to an end. You are just extra baggage they do not wish to have now. I will not force someone to stay here and wait for their executioner to come walking into this house. So there would not be anything for you to want or need that cannot simply be asked for," he explained. "Now, shoo. Dried blood is just not attractive on anyone," he stated simply, nudging the demon towards the shower with a smile. Only then did he release Devin's hand, wandering over to grab a new towel for them both; the one he had hung up the night before seeming to be missing.
In the angel's eyes, actions always spoke louder than words. Devin had promised to protect him, yes, but to come so close to death and Cain still be alive...the thought alone made the being shudder, holding the towels close to his body as he made his way back over to the shower.

Standing near the shower opening with the towels in his arms, Elijah leaned against the wall and let his eyes close. He listened to the gentle sound of water hitting the floor, the white noise seeming to drown everything out for quite some time. It wasn't until the shower was turned off that the angel stood a little straighter and offered the being that which he had been holding. The question asked caught him quite off guard, pale eyes widening slightly before he glanced away, thumb rubbing against the soft material of his own towel still in his arms. "I won't be able to stay here. Not everyone knows what he did, so me killing him will only have them come after me. With one half of the party dead, who else is there to get another side of the story," he added with a sad smile. "Tatsu was there, but they don't know that he is still with me. When my mother was killed, they thought he had ran off, not hidden and waited until I was well again before appearing to me again.." He laughed a little, slowly pushing off the wall, setting the towel down on the edge of the tub before he started disrobing himself. "I won't be staying here on Earth nearly as much though. Tatsu insists on staying at my side, but he can't stay here for long periods of time. I can't remember the last time he was able to not have to worry about bottling up all that energy he has. I don't take from him unless I have to, and even then I hate it, but I get yelled at if I don't," Elijah replied with another chuckle. "He's funny when he gets angry.."

Slipping out of the blood dried clothing that had decided to almost glue themselves to his flesh, the angel turned the water back on in the shower and stepped inside. He listened to everything Devin said and managed a sad smile before tipping his head back to allow the steaming water to beat against his face and chest. "It's not a matter of getting use to it Devin, its a matter of everything else leaving me alone. Some can't help themselves. All they smell is angel sometimes," he replied in a sad tone, arms lifting to press against the tile in front of him. "But it has been something I have contemplated before..At least with Tatsu there now, my scent won't carry to strongly.."
The word cute would never be something he would use to describe Tatsu, but then again, it was slightly true. The demon was strict about things, almost ordering Elijah to do what was necessary, but almost in a fatherly tone more than anything. "Don't let him catching you say that about him. He might get a little mad at you," the angel added with a slight laugh in his voice. Pale hands began to move again, scrubbing and washing his body while the two spoke.

Devin was quiet at that, when the other said he didn't have anyone to vouch for him in hell the other snorted a bit "HEY! What do I look like to you? chopped liver? I can vouch for you down there, you fool" He huffed before flicking the other in the forehead gently "Even so a demon shouldn't stay away from home too long" He said before he snorted "Elijah what do you think a vassel IS?" He asked him "Vassels in hell, are loyal servants that are tied to their masters by blood and are often passed down from generation to generation, vassals serve their masters and see it as an honour, not a curse"
Devin picked up the towel and handed it over before he smirked "I find it amusing your trying to educate me on your vassel I know he's much older then me...what I wonder is why you think that makes a difference somehow... Demons live for a long time, as soon as you reach adulthood, age tends to not matter with regards to sleeping partners" He said simply "Besides can tell he at least 500 years older then me, like said before, most vassels tend to outlive their owners Elijah, hence the whole 'passing down from generation to generation'...the thing is Demons live for a long time, but our longevity is cut short due to war, Vassels tend to live longer because they aren't as strong as other demons, so they tend to be support their owners in healing, or limited use of magic" He said softly.

Hand lifting, the angel made a small sound and rubbed at the spot hit on the forehead, mumbling something under his breath before the towel was taken and he began to dry off. "Sorry..." he had said. Only when dry did he move the towel to his hair and stepped out of the shower itself, listening to everything the other said while he dried off before wrapping it around his waist. "I'm surprised you aren't bored with me yet is all," Elijah stated, opening the door to the bathroom as he spoke.
The smell of something cooking upstairs hit him and he paused, drawing in a deeper breath as the scent wrapped around them both. Hand lifting, the angel touched his shoulder gently, thumb running over the angry scar a moment before his hand fell back to his side. "Let's just say I'll be glad to finally get out of here. With that b*****d Cain dead, I'll get at least some peace," he muttered before heading up the stairs to get a change of clothes from the master bedroom.
