Time to get out
Posted: 31 Jan 2016, 23:52
Enver:
Enver looked up from the crafting bench and watched Jaime sitting on a couch, watching some cartoon before his bed time. His wife was still here, like every other night since she had been back. Not that Enver minded, at least with her here, he could keep an eye on her and make sure nothing bad was going to happen to her again. The impossible in his eyes had happened and now he was starting to see that his wife wasn't invincible, or as invincible as Enver once believed her to be. "You going somewhere tonight?" He looked in his wife's direction, gaging her more or less. They couldn't stay inside forever, right? Maybe tonight was as good as any to try and see if that was going to change.
Keara:
Keara paced the floor, back and forth, keeping herself close to the walls. She’d pulled everything out her lockboxes and restored them at least twice already this night and looked to be considering doing it a third time. “Will do. Can do. Shall do,” she repeated several times, talking to no-one but herself. Enver’s question broke through whatever haze held her and she stopped abruptly to look over at him. Her head tilted slightly as she considered his words, before she shook it lightly. “No. No plans have I for anywhere for to go. Here I am. Here I stay.” She made her way around the room, around the edges of the room that was, her hand never breaking contact with the wall unless an object could replace. She moved past towards her husband, coming to a stop next to the crafting bench, her fingertips drifting over the wooden surface as she stepped around the table and could finally lay her hands upon the man she loved. Slender fingers ran up his arm and onto his shoulder before she came to rest behind him, wrapping her arms around his neck. “Happy here I am,” she whispered.
Enver:
"Well, yeah. Here is great." Enver nodded his head in agreement. "There's the television, some family that come in every blue moon, our cell, but there's other things. Out there, you know." Enver thrust a finger over his shoulder, indicating some place behind him, which was the wall. "Besides, I think the lock boxes are nice and neat for the next half year or so." He chuckled and then looked at Jaime. "What's Serge doing? Where's he at?" Enver looked around for the guy, as if expecting to see him come with something in his arms at any second now.
Keara:
Keara slipped herself into her husband’s lap and gave a soft sigh of contentment as she did so. This was home. The bricks and mortar around her meant very little in comparison to the man upon whose lap she now sat. “The lockboxes in order are. For now.” Her eyes drifted in their direction as Serge appeared from around the corner. He was a man with exceptional talent when it came to his job, which meant that he knew when to stand out of the way and be invisible and when he needed to step forward and make his presence known. Enver’s enquiry as to his whereabouts, had him moving into the room where he could be seen. A slight nod of his head, indicated that he was happy to do whatever task Enver set out for him.
Enver:
"Great. Lock boxes are in order, everything is quiet, so-" Enver stood from the seat he was on, pulling her with him as he went. "Jaime's off to bed soon. I'm positive Serge won't mind if we get out for a little bit. Staying inside too long gives people cabin fever or something like that." Enver chuckled and looked over to his wife's thrall, waiting to hear if the guy would be up for the task or not.
Keara:
“I would be happy to watch over things.” Serge was more than happy in his duties, and had gone above and beyond in the short time that Keara had been away and Enver had been unreachable. The problem wasn’t with the help however, it was with the raven haired female in Enver’s arms who was shaking her head. “Cabin fever have I not. Here good is Enver,” she looked up at him and smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. She didn’t wish to leave the Asylum, not because she feared being killed once more and returned to the accursed realm, but rather because she had spent too much time away from those she loved and was therefore all too content to stay in and block out the world outside of their home.
Enver:
"Here is not good." Enver growled as he moved over by Jaime to give the kid a pat on the head. "What would we do here? Organize more lock boxes? Watch the year old paint dry?" He sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath in. "I'll go out alone then." He shrugged, wondering if she would suddenly change her mind because he was leaving. "I could use a drink or something." He mused aloud, though a drink was the furthest from his mind. But what she didn't know didn't hurt him any, right?
Keara:
“No,” she said all too quickly, clinging tighter to his arm. She had not let him move away from here, where he went she followed as if she were tethered to him. “Desire that I do not. No need have you for to drink My love. Everything well is.” Panic laced her voice as she tried to imagine both staying home without Enver and watching him leave without her all at the same time. She didn’t like the idea. His plan was flawed. Flawed because it separated then and she didn’t want to be separated from him ever again, if even for a few hours.
Enver:
Well, it was sort of a start, wasn't it? She wanted to be with him and wherever he was. "Everything is not well. You didn't act like this before." He grumbled before moving away from Jaime and by default, Keara too. "Serge, he goes to bed by nine. Don't let that boy of mine try and sweet talk you." Enver gave Jaime a point of his finger that said he had his eye on him. "So, where do you want to go or what do you want to do?" He already had an idea brewing in his head, but he wanted to give his wife one last chance to decide her own fate for the night before she was left to his.
Keara:
Jamie laughed. He was seventeen now and a nine o’clock bedtime was ridiculous. Serge knew it too so while the boy would be in bed on time, he wouldn’t necessarily be sleeping. He would likely play on a hand held video game or read a book or something, at least for an hour or two. Keara ignored the comments and hastily kept up with her husband, her hand always touching some part of him until she could work her fingers through his. “Desire I do for here to stay. With you. A film together watch we could. Or draw for you I could. Or dance we could. Like I do for to dance.” The elder was obviously hopeful that her husband would give into one of her ideas and stay home. Unfortunately for them, they were both capable of being as obstinate as the other, so just who would win this verbal tug of war as to what to do was anyone’s guess.
Enver:
"I don't have any more movies for us to watch." Enver said after a few seconds of silence as he mulled over the ideas proposed to him by his wife. "I've been sitting for long enough, so drawing me is out of the question for tonight. Maybe tomorrow." He gave her a small grin before moving on. "We could also dance in public, since you like dancing." He finally concluded before Enver shook his head. "That settles it, we're going to the mall." And before she could say another thing, Enver was heading for a portal, jumping through it and at a station. Then, so was she, with a simple summons to him. "Want to walk, or we going by train?" He inquired, a hand going for his wife's.
Keara:
Keara finally broke contact with Enver as he jumped through a portal. She couldn’t follow. She wanted to but she couldn’t and now she was exposed and in the open. She began to move to grip the nearest object only to be moved through space to stand before her husband once more. Her head swivelled as she took in her surroundings and then without warning she threw herself into his arms. “No Enver. No. Be here we cannot. Home we should be,” she whined into his chest, her hands balling the material at his back in her fists. She was shaking slightly and refused to look up or around her again. She wanted to tome home but she hadn’t carried her tome in several days, as it didn’t seem necessary to have it with her if she wasn’t leaving the Asylum.
Enver:
Another sigh as an arm wrapped around his wife. They weren't going home, but he wouldn't be a complete tool and not try to ease her into the idea of being out in public. "Home will be there when we get back. No one will even know we're gone besides Serge and Jaime. Everyone's said they're welcome back and gone on with their lives. Just like we should be." He rubbed the small of her back before stepping away. "I guess we're walking then." He shrugged, not caring one way or another how they got to the mall. "You know, I think it might be a good idea for you to learn how to drive. Was thinking that a couple weeks back." Keara had been out of the shadow realm for a while now, so to him it made sense she should know how to drive. "Can't always teleport or be summoned. I've got..." Enver paused to think about how many cars he actually had. "Five cars, only use one the entire year, otherwise the rest sit until warmer weather." He shrugged. "Someone should use them."
Keara:
“Some lessons had I did. Once.” Keara clung to Enver like her life depended on it, which to her it possibly did. She was anxious to be out in the city and so raised her head to the sky in the hopes of seeing something comforting. She couldn’t even recall what phase the moon was in until she looked at the full globe hanging high in the sky. This wasn’t good. It wasn’t safe. And now Keara was worried to be out of the Asylum as the presence of the moon in such a state had a detrimental effect upon the man she loved. She could only hope that she was wrong and that the moon wasn’t in fact full, like it seemed. “C-car require I do not,” she added, coming back to the conversation. “Have one somewhere I do.”
Enver:
"Lessons? With who?" Enver stopped everything he was doing, or planning to do to figure out who would have taught his wife how to drive. "You have a car somewhere? When was the last time you saw it?" Enver scowled. "Can't just misplace things like cars, those cost a lot of money." He nodded his head, before sighing. "I guess I could give one of them to Jaime." Why not? One less car to buy and what seventeen year old didn't want a fast ride? Simple. They all did. "What kind of car is it?" Enver was focused on the car, lessons and the possible man that had been alone with his wife pre-Enver years.
Keara:
Keara had to think for a moment. Not about who had taught her to drive, or at least who had started to give her lessons, but rather as to the location of the car. She hadn’t seen it in some time. “Thomas taught me the basics did. But no license have I yet. My car… yellow is. And small. A motorbike too have I do. Somewhere. In the garage perhaps? Or in a locked garage somewhere?” Keara was lost in her thoughts, which was a good thing as while she was trying to figure out where she last saw her vehicles, she wasn’t thinking about being out on the open and she wasn’t thinking about running home.
Enver:
Thomas? Enver didn't know who Thomas was. He would ask Deanna later. "Yellow? That's worse than red." Enver shook his head. "Two doors or four doors?" How small was small? "Forget about it. We'll get you a new one." He muttered, not wanting his wife near any car some guy gave her. Especially when he didn't know who the guy was. While they were talking, he was walking, and somehow the mall seemed a lot further than it had when Enver suggested it. "Maybe we should just take a cab instead." He looked around for one, but didn't see any in the immediate area. "Rotten luck." He grumbled.
Keara:
Two? Four? She wasn’t sure. She didn’t even know if that sort of thing really mattered. The car had been perfectly adequate for her needs. “Need a new one I do not. Ask Thomas I shall where to my car has gone. Perhaps knows he does. Perhaps he the car and bike does have. A garage has he does. Or had. Been there in sometime I have not. Seen Thomas in some time I have not. See we do Leif more.” Keara rambled on, unaware of Enver’s dissatisfaction at not being able to flag down a taxi. She wasn’t even aware of the fact that they were now walking down a street arm in arm, as if it were perfectly normal; which of course it was, or it had been before she died.
Enver:
Right. That Thomas. Leif's other half. Enver hadn't seen that guy in at least a year. He wondered if he was dead. He should ask Leif. Enver didn't think Leif was his biggest fan, but they got along well enough and respected each other. Enver made a mental note to check in with Leif about that later. "Where the hell are all the taxi's at?" Enver growled as he spun left and right and left again. "Damnit all to hell. Maybe you s-" No, she would probably teleport him right back home if he asked her to teleport him somewhere. "Should stick with the motorbike. That's pretty cool." Enver mumbled as he kept walking in the direction of the mall.
Keara:
“Oh the motorbike most interesting was. Fast it was. Very fast. Much like if I a horse were to ride. Only faster. Noisier. Matters not if you forget where you such a vehicle place. If I that with a horse did do, dead by now it would be as sustenance require they do. Have you e’er a horse ridden?” she asked, slightly changing the tone of the conversation. She couldn’t recall if horseback riding was a skill of his or not, and her mind had even began replaying scenes from some of his movies or shows to see if she’d ever seen him on one. She didn’t like recalling some images though, as they left her feeling angry and jealous, even if most of the women he’d kissed meant nothing to him. She’d had to replace several television sets over the last few years from when she’d made the effort to watch his endeavours.
Enver:
"Sure, I've rode a horse before. Sort of." Enver confessed with a shrugged. "I sat on one." He grumbled, feeling slightly inadequate now. "Twice." He added in, as if that made him an expert on horses or something. "We should take Jaime horseback riding." Enver suddenly interjected with a different thought that didn't pertain to him not knowing how to ride a horse. "We could even buy one or two. We've got some decent property around the asylum." Enver hunched over to touch his toes and groaned. "Think I wore the wrong shoes." He looked down at his very expensive pair of trainers before taking them off and rubbing at them. "Just don't make shoes like they used to." Enver complained.
Keara:
Enver’s moaning made Keara smile. Her husband was an enigma, one she hoped she never puzzled out. Coming out was his idea and now that they were out, all he seemed to be doing was complaining about walking to the destination that he had in fact chosen for them. “No. Shoes made quite differently now are. That true enough is. So much more variety now available is. If desire you do for home to go, go we may,” she offered partially to see what he would say and partially as she hoped he’d agree. She’d liked the idea of gong horse riding with two of the most important men in her life, but she hadn’t commented on it. She liked the idea or acquiring a couple of horses even better, especially since the could ride them through and round the park behind their estate. It was something she would definitely give some thought to.
Enver:
Enver looked at his wife with narrowed eyes. "We're not going home." He grabbed a hand and started walking again, or more like hobbling. "Next time we take a car. Remind me when I get these brilliant ideas in my head." He slowed his pace down, not because he was enjoying the view, but because Enver felt winded already and they had only walked four blocks. "I thought sex counted as a work out." He looked over at his wife cheekily, because that was probably the only work out he ever got since they had been married. "Oh, look. The mall." Enver pointed to a building that was still at least a good ten blocks or so away. "You thirsty? I'm thirsty." Enver looked around for a coffee place, or even a place that might sell a decent soda-Mr. Pibb. He should buy stock in that company. Another thing to look into when they made their way back home.
Keara:
This time he had her laughing. Sex for them was a work out, especially since they could barely keep their hands off of each other most of the time. “It the moon is My Love,” she said gesturing to the giant globe in the sky. “Always this way you are, when the moon full is.” She knew he needed an excuse to stop and rest so, she tugged on his hand and backed herself up against the nearest building. She didn’t know if it was a shop, someone’s residence or a parking structure, and she didn’t care. As soon as her back met with something real, something concrete, she pulled Enver’s lips to hers and kissed him with the ferocity he’d become accustomed to. “Why go we to the mall My Love?” she asked pressing herself against him. “Our home so much more comfortable than the street is.”
Enver:
The moon. Right. Enver was typically inside when the moon was out, because other than work, the two were home bodies now. Had he noticed any nights where he didn't feel quite like himself? Sure. Occasionally, but he never even bothered to look at the moon when they got out of the asylum tonight because it was the furthest thing from his mind. They were up against the wall at her pull and bidding and she was doing what women do best. Distracting him from his purpose and his wife was damn good at that. "Hmm?" Enver mumbled into her lips as his hands ran up the length of her legs and cupper each butt. The mall sounded less and less appealing with each second that passed with them lip locked. "You're not wrong." He nodded his head, partially agreeing with her. "But we'll be home soon enough." Enver groped her butt one last time before ducking out from his wife's hold. "Womanly wiles. I know a thing or two about those." Did he ever. Enver chuckled, waved a finger back and forth at his wife and headed for the mall once again.
Keara:
And just like that the spell was broken. Keara had been perfectly content pressed between the wall and the man she loved and then he pulls away and says something like that, something designed (she was sure) to get a reaction out of him. With an open palm, she smacked him on the arm. “Care I do not for to hear of your experience.” The woman had just enough sense to hold back from making her next comment, as she was about to tell him that he could talk to Ven should he require any information as to her own history with womanly wiles.
Enver:
"What?!" Enver howled as she smacked him a good one. "That hurt." He rubbed at the spot before moving away from her. What got into his wife? She was the one trying to trick him and here he was being honest. He would have left it alone with that one statement, because as dumb as Enver could be with his foot in his mouth, he wasn't that dumb. "Was just saying you women are all tricky. When you want something bad enough." Enver grumbled as he walked away from his wife, still in pursuit of the mall. At this rate it might be another hour before they got there. Or longer, if she continued on beating him senseless.
Keara:
Keara growled at Enver as she grabbed a hold of his hand. He wasn’t allowed to move far from her, he couldn’t, she wouldn’t allow it, she couldn’t allow it. “Any games that play I do, from you they learned were,” she told him. Before she met Enver she didn’t know how to tease and distract to get what she wanted, she wasn’t manipulative, in fact she was barely aware of her surroundings at the best of times. Now however, now she knew how to get what she wanted from the man she loved, most of the time. Their relationship was a constant battle of wills, but it wasn’t one she’d change. Their passion, their chemistry, it was as insane and it was powerful and it was one hundred percent theirs, which made it perfect; at least to Keara.
Enver:
Enver grinned cheekily as she professed him to be the root of her minxy behavior. That was probably true, but he wasn't going to fess up to that any time soon. "Well come on sweet cheeks, try harder to get me back home and in our bed before I get us to the mall." Enver grinned just a little bit more before he ducked away from his wife's hold again.
Keara:
He didn’t get far before Keara had a hold of him again. “Enver! Leave me you may not. Need your touch I do.” She chastises as she considers jumping on his back and forcing him to carry her. “If behave you cannot, then carry me you must. And if carry me you will not, home I will go,” she warned. There was no playful tone to her voice, but it also lacked any harshness that would have told her husband that she was almost at her breaking point.
Enver:
"There ain't a single thing to do at home." He sighed and turned around to face his wife, before the glint of cheekiness rounded his features once again. "As you wish." Without any hesitation Enver bent over at the waist, grabbed his wife and tossed her over his shoulder with an 'oomph.' From there, he proceeded to place a hand on her ***, to hold her to him [or so he would say] and then headed towards the mall. It wasn't that long, half a block if that when Enver felt winded again. With each step he took from there on out, made his knees almost buckle and people were starting to stare and whisper as they passed the couple, some even laughing thinking it was some sort of playful banter between them.
Keara:
“Enver!” she squeaked as she was thrown over his shoulder. “This the best way is not, for to carry me.” She wriggled a little in his grasp. She secretly loved being held by him like this. She’d fought him at the start of their relationship when he did this, but now it was kind of their thing, even if it did leave her a little exposed due to the fact that she always wore such short skirts and no underwear.
Enver:
Enver stopped when Keara wiggled, almost dropping the woman from the fact she was displacing her weight in so many directions so quickly. "What's that you say? Carry you a different way?" Enver shrugged his shoulders and craned his neck to look at her from the side. "Might be on to something, gorgeous. Great idea!" Enver grabbed the leg that was closest to his neck and wrapped it around the other side, before chuckling. "Your idea. You're paying for the ticket." With that he used all his remaining strength and flipped his wife so she was now sitting on his shoulders, facing him. "Great view from down here." He said in a muffled voice.
Keara:
Thankfully for Enver, his wife was graceful and had a sense of balance most would kill for. She easily adjusted herself so that she wouldn’t cause her husband to fall forward and therefore drop her. She was laughing, as she ran her hands through his hair before gripping it to help her maintain her position. “Enver,” she cooed. “See where you are going now you cannot. Stop now you should.” She used to hate drawing attention to herself and yet now, here she was in the middle of the street, the wrong way around on her husband’s shoulders.
Enver:
"I'm okay with that." He said, voice still muffled as his hands came to latch around the legs of his wife, indicating he was planning on keeping her there. "You keep an eye out." He turned and began walking backwards, which slowed him down even more and expelled what little energy the guy had out more. He could imagine it now, but didn't care. He and his wife needed a good laugh after the crap week they've had. "We should do this more often." This was not expanded on and could be left to the imagination.
Keara:
The laughter continued as Enver made sure that Keara could see where they were going. The elder never laughed often before Enver came into her life, but the sound was decidedly more natural now as it bubbled up from her throat. She gave a few directions, trying to keep him on course, but eventually she decided to try and talk him out of this behaviour again. “Do this another time we may. But put me down now you should My Love, before injure us both you do.”
Enver:
"Death by tonguing? That's a new one." Enver replied cheekily as he straightened his posture out, knowing he was weakening and weakening with each step her took, and each block they made it through. His hands let go of her legs before they circled around his wife's waist and pulled her off him, flashing a little of her butt. "Nice view this way too." Enver complimented before he yanked his wife's skirt down so that no one else [hopefully] would get a view. With a firm slap to it, Enver reached out for his wife's hand. "We're almost there." He said with a nudge of his head.
Keara:
There were probably women that would have hated being manhandled and treated the way that Enver treated Keara but she wasn’t one of them; she loved every single moment she could get with him, even if they were arguing. “Yes, almost there we are.” She straightened herself out with her free hand and eyed the man at her side to see what he was up to. She couldn’t imagine why they were taking a trip to the mall of all places, not when this was their first night out since their return.
Enver:
His fingers would glaze over the top of her hand as they continued on, Enver thinking about everything. The night his wife died, the events after and the time he spent fadewalking. Also the time they spent arguing because the first night he was fadewalking, Enver had slipped and gone back to some old habits. He didn't know how to cope with the woman being dead. How it happened to this night still baffled the Allurist. "Maybe we should think about a spring vacation somewhere with Jaime." Enver commented quietly. "Maybe Lorde too." Darker times were coming in Enver's eyes, especially if those Crow goons were to get any power in the city.
Keara:
“Oh that a wonderful idea is.” And it was. She enjoyed her time with Enver immensely and a change of scenery always seemed to do him well. Of course she’d of preferred to go away just the two of them but she had to allow for the fact that they had a family and that they had eternity, there would be other opportunities to get him to herself. “Think I do that Lorde that too appreciate would.”
Enver:
He nodded his head when she agreed and even agreed to Lorde joining them. To Enver, it was a good idea to check out other parts of the world in case things went belly up and he was sure that was going to happen soon. Sooner than anyone anticipated. Things, he'd keep to himself for now, because Keara seemed to think that Crow guy was some kind of savior or good guy in disguise, but Enver knew better. He was scared deep down. A repressor. "Finally." Enver huffed as they made it to the outside of the mall. "Just give me a minute." Enver patted his pockets in search of the last few cigarettes he had in the month old pack. Only, they weren't on him. He apparently left them somewhere in their cell. His best bet would be the last place he had been before leaving-the bathroom, on the counter.
Keara:
Keara paused by the entrance to the mall and waited for Enver. She wondered if perhaps he was stalling, as if it was possible that he was now hesitant about their plans for the night. “Are you okay My Love?” she asked once she’d decided that it wasn’t Enver’s style to second guess himself.
Enver:
"What?" He looked over at his wife and then nodded his head. "Yeah. Just feeling a little short of, well, no just a little tired." He admitted before stuffing his hands in his pockets. "Must be the moon's affects." He grumbled before opening the door to the mall for his wife. "After you beautiful." He winked at his wife, using the door to prop himself up until he followed her in. "I think, if memory serves, we need the second floor." He looked around where they are, recalling the last time he was in here and nodded his head. "Definitely second floor." Again, his hand went for hers before they headed to the escalator together.
Enver looked up from the crafting bench and watched Jaime sitting on a couch, watching some cartoon before his bed time. His wife was still here, like every other night since she had been back. Not that Enver minded, at least with her here, he could keep an eye on her and make sure nothing bad was going to happen to her again. The impossible in his eyes had happened and now he was starting to see that his wife wasn't invincible, or as invincible as Enver once believed her to be. "You going somewhere tonight?" He looked in his wife's direction, gaging her more or less. They couldn't stay inside forever, right? Maybe tonight was as good as any to try and see if that was going to change.
Keara:
Keara paced the floor, back and forth, keeping herself close to the walls. She’d pulled everything out her lockboxes and restored them at least twice already this night and looked to be considering doing it a third time. “Will do. Can do. Shall do,” she repeated several times, talking to no-one but herself. Enver’s question broke through whatever haze held her and she stopped abruptly to look over at him. Her head tilted slightly as she considered his words, before she shook it lightly. “No. No plans have I for anywhere for to go. Here I am. Here I stay.” She made her way around the room, around the edges of the room that was, her hand never breaking contact with the wall unless an object could replace. She moved past towards her husband, coming to a stop next to the crafting bench, her fingertips drifting over the wooden surface as she stepped around the table and could finally lay her hands upon the man she loved. Slender fingers ran up his arm and onto his shoulder before she came to rest behind him, wrapping her arms around his neck. “Happy here I am,” she whispered.
Enver:
"Well, yeah. Here is great." Enver nodded his head in agreement. "There's the television, some family that come in every blue moon, our cell, but there's other things. Out there, you know." Enver thrust a finger over his shoulder, indicating some place behind him, which was the wall. "Besides, I think the lock boxes are nice and neat for the next half year or so." He chuckled and then looked at Jaime. "What's Serge doing? Where's he at?" Enver looked around for the guy, as if expecting to see him come with something in his arms at any second now.
Keara:
Keara slipped herself into her husband’s lap and gave a soft sigh of contentment as she did so. This was home. The bricks and mortar around her meant very little in comparison to the man upon whose lap she now sat. “The lockboxes in order are. For now.” Her eyes drifted in their direction as Serge appeared from around the corner. He was a man with exceptional talent when it came to his job, which meant that he knew when to stand out of the way and be invisible and when he needed to step forward and make his presence known. Enver’s enquiry as to his whereabouts, had him moving into the room where he could be seen. A slight nod of his head, indicated that he was happy to do whatever task Enver set out for him.
Enver:
"Great. Lock boxes are in order, everything is quiet, so-" Enver stood from the seat he was on, pulling her with him as he went. "Jaime's off to bed soon. I'm positive Serge won't mind if we get out for a little bit. Staying inside too long gives people cabin fever or something like that." Enver chuckled and looked over to his wife's thrall, waiting to hear if the guy would be up for the task or not.
Keara:
“I would be happy to watch over things.” Serge was more than happy in his duties, and had gone above and beyond in the short time that Keara had been away and Enver had been unreachable. The problem wasn’t with the help however, it was with the raven haired female in Enver’s arms who was shaking her head. “Cabin fever have I not. Here good is Enver,” she looked up at him and smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. She didn’t wish to leave the Asylum, not because she feared being killed once more and returned to the accursed realm, but rather because she had spent too much time away from those she loved and was therefore all too content to stay in and block out the world outside of their home.
Enver:
"Here is not good." Enver growled as he moved over by Jaime to give the kid a pat on the head. "What would we do here? Organize more lock boxes? Watch the year old paint dry?" He sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath in. "I'll go out alone then." He shrugged, wondering if she would suddenly change her mind because he was leaving. "I could use a drink or something." He mused aloud, though a drink was the furthest from his mind. But what she didn't know didn't hurt him any, right?
Keara:
“No,” she said all too quickly, clinging tighter to his arm. She had not let him move away from here, where he went she followed as if she were tethered to him. “Desire that I do not. No need have you for to drink My love. Everything well is.” Panic laced her voice as she tried to imagine both staying home without Enver and watching him leave without her all at the same time. She didn’t like the idea. His plan was flawed. Flawed because it separated then and she didn’t want to be separated from him ever again, if even for a few hours.
Enver:
Well, it was sort of a start, wasn't it? She wanted to be with him and wherever he was. "Everything is not well. You didn't act like this before." He grumbled before moving away from Jaime and by default, Keara too. "Serge, he goes to bed by nine. Don't let that boy of mine try and sweet talk you." Enver gave Jaime a point of his finger that said he had his eye on him. "So, where do you want to go or what do you want to do?" He already had an idea brewing in his head, but he wanted to give his wife one last chance to decide her own fate for the night before she was left to his.
Keara:
Jamie laughed. He was seventeen now and a nine o’clock bedtime was ridiculous. Serge knew it too so while the boy would be in bed on time, he wouldn’t necessarily be sleeping. He would likely play on a hand held video game or read a book or something, at least for an hour or two. Keara ignored the comments and hastily kept up with her husband, her hand always touching some part of him until she could work her fingers through his. “Desire I do for here to stay. With you. A film together watch we could. Or draw for you I could. Or dance we could. Like I do for to dance.” The elder was obviously hopeful that her husband would give into one of her ideas and stay home. Unfortunately for them, they were both capable of being as obstinate as the other, so just who would win this verbal tug of war as to what to do was anyone’s guess.
Enver:
"I don't have any more movies for us to watch." Enver said after a few seconds of silence as he mulled over the ideas proposed to him by his wife. "I've been sitting for long enough, so drawing me is out of the question for tonight. Maybe tomorrow." He gave her a small grin before moving on. "We could also dance in public, since you like dancing." He finally concluded before Enver shook his head. "That settles it, we're going to the mall." And before she could say another thing, Enver was heading for a portal, jumping through it and at a station. Then, so was she, with a simple summons to him. "Want to walk, or we going by train?" He inquired, a hand going for his wife's.
Keara:
Keara finally broke contact with Enver as he jumped through a portal. She couldn’t follow. She wanted to but she couldn’t and now she was exposed and in the open. She began to move to grip the nearest object only to be moved through space to stand before her husband once more. Her head swivelled as she took in her surroundings and then without warning she threw herself into his arms. “No Enver. No. Be here we cannot. Home we should be,” she whined into his chest, her hands balling the material at his back in her fists. She was shaking slightly and refused to look up or around her again. She wanted to tome home but she hadn’t carried her tome in several days, as it didn’t seem necessary to have it with her if she wasn’t leaving the Asylum.
Enver:
Another sigh as an arm wrapped around his wife. They weren't going home, but he wouldn't be a complete tool and not try to ease her into the idea of being out in public. "Home will be there when we get back. No one will even know we're gone besides Serge and Jaime. Everyone's said they're welcome back and gone on with their lives. Just like we should be." He rubbed the small of her back before stepping away. "I guess we're walking then." He shrugged, not caring one way or another how they got to the mall. "You know, I think it might be a good idea for you to learn how to drive. Was thinking that a couple weeks back." Keara had been out of the shadow realm for a while now, so to him it made sense she should know how to drive. "Can't always teleport or be summoned. I've got..." Enver paused to think about how many cars he actually had. "Five cars, only use one the entire year, otherwise the rest sit until warmer weather." He shrugged. "Someone should use them."
Keara:
“Some lessons had I did. Once.” Keara clung to Enver like her life depended on it, which to her it possibly did. She was anxious to be out in the city and so raised her head to the sky in the hopes of seeing something comforting. She couldn’t even recall what phase the moon was in until she looked at the full globe hanging high in the sky. This wasn’t good. It wasn’t safe. And now Keara was worried to be out of the Asylum as the presence of the moon in such a state had a detrimental effect upon the man she loved. She could only hope that she was wrong and that the moon wasn’t in fact full, like it seemed. “C-car require I do not,” she added, coming back to the conversation. “Have one somewhere I do.”
Enver:
"Lessons? With who?" Enver stopped everything he was doing, or planning to do to figure out who would have taught his wife how to drive. "You have a car somewhere? When was the last time you saw it?" Enver scowled. "Can't just misplace things like cars, those cost a lot of money." He nodded his head, before sighing. "I guess I could give one of them to Jaime." Why not? One less car to buy and what seventeen year old didn't want a fast ride? Simple. They all did. "What kind of car is it?" Enver was focused on the car, lessons and the possible man that had been alone with his wife pre-Enver years.
Keara:
Keara had to think for a moment. Not about who had taught her to drive, or at least who had started to give her lessons, but rather as to the location of the car. She hadn’t seen it in some time. “Thomas taught me the basics did. But no license have I yet. My car… yellow is. And small. A motorbike too have I do. Somewhere. In the garage perhaps? Or in a locked garage somewhere?” Keara was lost in her thoughts, which was a good thing as while she was trying to figure out where she last saw her vehicles, she wasn’t thinking about being out on the open and she wasn’t thinking about running home.
Enver:
Thomas? Enver didn't know who Thomas was. He would ask Deanna later. "Yellow? That's worse than red." Enver shook his head. "Two doors or four doors?" How small was small? "Forget about it. We'll get you a new one." He muttered, not wanting his wife near any car some guy gave her. Especially when he didn't know who the guy was. While they were talking, he was walking, and somehow the mall seemed a lot further than it had when Enver suggested it. "Maybe we should just take a cab instead." He looked around for one, but didn't see any in the immediate area. "Rotten luck." He grumbled.
Keara:
Two? Four? She wasn’t sure. She didn’t even know if that sort of thing really mattered. The car had been perfectly adequate for her needs. “Need a new one I do not. Ask Thomas I shall where to my car has gone. Perhaps knows he does. Perhaps he the car and bike does have. A garage has he does. Or had. Been there in sometime I have not. Seen Thomas in some time I have not. See we do Leif more.” Keara rambled on, unaware of Enver’s dissatisfaction at not being able to flag down a taxi. She wasn’t even aware of the fact that they were now walking down a street arm in arm, as if it were perfectly normal; which of course it was, or it had been before she died.
Enver:
Right. That Thomas. Leif's other half. Enver hadn't seen that guy in at least a year. He wondered if he was dead. He should ask Leif. Enver didn't think Leif was his biggest fan, but they got along well enough and respected each other. Enver made a mental note to check in with Leif about that later. "Where the hell are all the taxi's at?" Enver growled as he spun left and right and left again. "Damnit all to hell. Maybe you s-" No, she would probably teleport him right back home if he asked her to teleport him somewhere. "Should stick with the motorbike. That's pretty cool." Enver mumbled as he kept walking in the direction of the mall.
Keara:
“Oh the motorbike most interesting was. Fast it was. Very fast. Much like if I a horse were to ride. Only faster. Noisier. Matters not if you forget where you such a vehicle place. If I that with a horse did do, dead by now it would be as sustenance require they do. Have you e’er a horse ridden?” she asked, slightly changing the tone of the conversation. She couldn’t recall if horseback riding was a skill of his or not, and her mind had even began replaying scenes from some of his movies or shows to see if she’d ever seen him on one. She didn’t like recalling some images though, as they left her feeling angry and jealous, even if most of the women he’d kissed meant nothing to him. She’d had to replace several television sets over the last few years from when she’d made the effort to watch his endeavours.
Enver:
"Sure, I've rode a horse before. Sort of." Enver confessed with a shrugged. "I sat on one." He grumbled, feeling slightly inadequate now. "Twice." He added in, as if that made him an expert on horses or something. "We should take Jaime horseback riding." Enver suddenly interjected with a different thought that didn't pertain to him not knowing how to ride a horse. "We could even buy one or two. We've got some decent property around the asylum." Enver hunched over to touch his toes and groaned. "Think I wore the wrong shoes." He looked down at his very expensive pair of trainers before taking them off and rubbing at them. "Just don't make shoes like they used to." Enver complained.
Keara:
Enver’s moaning made Keara smile. Her husband was an enigma, one she hoped she never puzzled out. Coming out was his idea and now that they were out, all he seemed to be doing was complaining about walking to the destination that he had in fact chosen for them. “No. Shoes made quite differently now are. That true enough is. So much more variety now available is. If desire you do for home to go, go we may,” she offered partially to see what he would say and partially as she hoped he’d agree. She’d liked the idea of gong horse riding with two of the most important men in her life, but she hadn’t commented on it. She liked the idea or acquiring a couple of horses even better, especially since the could ride them through and round the park behind their estate. It was something she would definitely give some thought to.
Enver:
Enver looked at his wife with narrowed eyes. "We're not going home." He grabbed a hand and started walking again, or more like hobbling. "Next time we take a car. Remind me when I get these brilliant ideas in my head." He slowed his pace down, not because he was enjoying the view, but because Enver felt winded already and they had only walked four blocks. "I thought sex counted as a work out." He looked over at his wife cheekily, because that was probably the only work out he ever got since they had been married. "Oh, look. The mall." Enver pointed to a building that was still at least a good ten blocks or so away. "You thirsty? I'm thirsty." Enver looked around for a coffee place, or even a place that might sell a decent soda-Mr. Pibb. He should buy stock in that company. Another thing to look into when they made their way back home.
Keara:
This time he had her laughing. Sex for them was a work out, especially since they could barely keep their hands off of each other most of the time. “It the moon is My Love,” she said gesturing to the giant globe in the sky. “Always this way you are, when the moon full is.” She knew he needed an excuse to stop and rest so, she tugged on his hand and backed herself up against the nearest building. She didn’t know if it was a shop, someone’s residence or a parking structure, and she didn’t care. As soon as her back met with something real, something concrete, she pulled Enver’s lips to hers and kissed him with the ferocity he’d become accustomed to. “Why go we to the mall My Love?” she asked pressing herself against him. “Our home so much more comfortable than the street is.”
Enver:
The moon. Right. Enver was typically inside when the moon was out, because other than work, the two were home bodies now. Had he noticed any nights where he didn't feel quite like himself? Sure. Occasionally, but he never even bothered to look at the moon when they got out of the asylum tonight because it was the furthest thing from his mind. They were up against the wall at her pull and bidding and she was doing what women do best. Distracting him from his purpose and his wife was damn good at that. "Hmm?" Enver mumbled into her lips as his hands ran up the length of her legs and cupper each butt. The mall sounded less and less appealing with each second that passed with them lip locked. "You're not wrong." He nodded his head, partially agreeing with her. "But we'll be home soon enough." Enver groped her butt one last time before ducking out from his wife's hold. "Womanly wiles. I know a thing or two about those." Did he ever. Enver chuckled, waved a finger back and forth at his wife and headed for the mall once again.
Keara:
And just like that the spell was broken. Keara had been perfectly content pressed between the wall and the man she loved and then he pulls away and says something like that, something designed (she was sure) to get a reaction out of him. With an open palm, she smacked him on the arm. “Care I do not for to hear of your experience.” The woman had just enough sense to hold back from making her next comment, as she was about to tell him that he could talk to Ven should he require any information as to her own history with womanly wiles.
Enver:
"What?!" Enver howled as she smacked him a good one. "That hurt." He rubbed at the spot before moving away from her. What got into his wife? She was the one trying to trick him and here he was being honest. He would have left it alone with that one statement, because as dumb as Enver could be with his foot in his mouth, he wasn't that dumb. "Was just saying you women are all tricky. When you want something bad enough." Enver grumbled as he walked away from his wife, still in pursuit of the mall. At this rate it might be another hour before they got there. Or longer, if she continued on beating him senseless.
Keara:
Keara growled at Enver as she grabbed a hold of his hand. He wasn’t allowed to move far from her, he couldn’t, she wouldn’t allow it, she couldn’t allow it. “Any games that play I do, from you they learned were,” she told him. Before she met Enver she didn’t know how to tease and distract to get what she wanted, she wasn’t manipulative, in fact she was barely aware of her surroundings at the best of times. Now however, now she knew how to get what she wanted from the man she loved, most of the time. Their relationship was a constant battle of wills, but it wasn’t one she’d change. Their passion, their chemistry, it was as insane and it was powerful and it was one hundred percent theirs, which made it perfect; at least to Keara.
Enver:
Enver grinned cheekily as she professed him to be the root of her minxy behavior. That was probably true, but he wasn't going to fess up to that any time soon. "Well come on sweet cheeks, try harder to get me back home and in our bed before I get us to the mall." Enver grinned just a little bit more before he ducked away from his wife's hold again.
Keara:
He didn’t get far before Keara had a hold of him again. “Enver! Leave me you may not. Need your touch I do.” She chastises as she considers jumping on his back and forcing him to carry her. “If behave you cannot, then carry me you must. And if carry me you will not, home I will go,” she warned. There was no playful tone to her voice, but it also lacked any harshness that would have told her husband that she was almost at her breaking point.
Enver:
"There ain't a single thing to do at home." He sighed and turned around to face his wife, before the glint of cheekiness rounded his features once again. "As you wish." Without any hesitation Enver bent over at the waist, grabbed his wife and tossed her over his shoulder with an 'oomph.' From there, he proceeded to place a hand on her ***, to hold her to him [or so he would say] and then headed towards the mall. It wasn't that long, half a block if that when Enver felt winded again. With each step he took from there on out, made his knees almost buckle and people were starting to stare and whisper as they passed the couple, some even laughing thinking it was some sort of playful banter between them.
Keara:
“Enver!” she squeaked as she was thrown over his shoulder. “This the best way is not, for to carry me.” She wriggled a little in his grasp. She secretly loved being held by him like this. She’d fought him at the start of their relationship when he did this, but now it was kind of their thing, even if it did leave her a little exposed due to the fact that she always wore such short skirts and no underwear.
Enver:
Enver stopped when Keara wiggled, almost dropping the woman from the fact she was displacing her weight in so many directions so quickly. "What's that you say? Carry you a different way?" Enver shrugged his shoulders and craned his neck to look at her from the side. "Might be on to something, gorgeous. Great idea!" Enver grabbed the leg that was closest to his neck and wrapped it around the other side, before chuckling. "Your idea. You're paying for the ticket." With that he used all his remaining strength and flipped his wife so she was now sitting on his shoulders, facing him. "Great view from down here." He said in a muffled voice.
Keara:
Thankfully for Enver, his wife was graceful and had a sense of balance most would kill for. She easily adjusted herself so that she wouldn’t cause her husband to fall forward and therefore drop her. She was laughing, as she ran her hands through his hair before gripping it to help her maintain her position. “Enver,” she cooed. “See where you are going now you cannot. Stop now you should.” She used to hate drawing attention to herself and yet now, here she was in the middle of the street, the wrong way around on her husband’s shoulders.
Enver:
"I'm okay with that." He said, voice still muffled as his hands came to latch around the legs of his wife, indicating he was planning on keeping her there. "You keep an eye out." He turned and began walking backwards, which slowed him down even more and expelled what little energy the guy had out more. He could imagine it now, but didn't care. He and his wife needed a good laugh after the crap week they've had. "We should do this more often." This was not expanded on and could be left to the imagination.
Keara:
The laughter continued as Enver made sure that Keara could see where they were going. The elder never laughed often before Enver came into her life, but the sound was decidedly more natural now as it bubbled up from her throat. She gave a few directions, trying to keep him on course, but eventually she decided to try and talk him out of this behaviour again. “Do this another time we may. But put me down now you should My Love, before injure us both you do.”
Enver:
"Death by tonguing? That's a new one." Enver replied cheekily as he straightened his posture out, knowing he was weakening and weakening with each step her took, and each block they made it through. His hands let go of her legs before they circled around his wife's waist and pulled her off him, flashing a little of her butt. "Nice view this way too." Enver complimented before he yanked his wife's skirt down so that no one else [hopefully] would get a view. With a firm slap to it, Enver reached out for his wife's hand. "We're almost there." He said with a nudge of his head.
Keara:
There were probably women that would have hated being manhandled and treated the way that Enver treated Keara but she wasn’t one of them; she loved every single moment she could get with him, even if they were arguing. “Yes, almost there we are.” She straightened herself out with her free hand and eyed the man at her side to see what he was up to. She couldn’t imagine why they were taking a trip to the mall of all places, not when this was their first night out since their return.
Enver:
His fingers would glaze over the top of her hand as they continued on, Enver thinking about everything. The night his wife died, the events after and the time he spent fadewalking. Also the time they spent arguing because the first night he was fadewalking, Enver had slipped and gone back to some old habits. He didn't know how to cope with the woman being dead. How it happened to this night still baffled the Allurist. "Maybe we should think about a spring vacation somewhere with Jaime." Enver commented quietly. "Maybe Lorde too." Darker times were coming in Enver's eyes, especially if those Crow goons were to get any power in the city.
Keara:
“Oh that a wonderful idea is.” And it was. She enjoyed her time with Enver immensely and a change of scenery always seemed to do him well. Of course she’d of preferred to go away just the two of them but she had to allow for the fact that they had a family and that they had eternity, there would be other opportunities to get him to herself. “Think I do that Lorde that too appreciate would.”
Enver:
He nodded his head when she agreed and even agreed to Lorde joining them. To Enver, it was a good idea to check out other parts of the world in case things went belly up and he was sure that was going to happen soon. Sooner than anyone anticipated. Things, he'd keep to himself for now, because Keara seemed to think that Crow guy was some kind of savior or good guy in disguise, but Enver knew better. He was scared deep down. A repressor. "Finally." Enver huffed as they made it to the outside of the mall. "Just give me a minute." Enver patted his pockets in search of the last few cigarettes he had in the month old pack. Only, they weren't on him. He apparently left them somewhere in their cell. His best bet would be the last place he had been before leaving-the bathroom, on the counter.
Keara:
Keara paused by the entrance to the mall and waited for Enver. She wondered if perhaps he was stalling, as if it was possible that he was now hesitant about their plans for the night. “Are you okay My Love?” she asked once she’d decided that it wasn’t Enver’s style to second guess himself.
Enver:
"What?" He looked over at his wife and then nodded his head. "Yeah. Just feeling a little short of, well, no just a little tired." He admitted before stuffing his hands in his pockets. "Must be the moon's affects." He grumbled before opening the door to the mall for his wife. "After you beautiful." He winked at his wife, using the door to prop himself up until he followed her in. "I think, if memory serves, we need the second floor." He looked around where they are, recalling the last time he was in here and nodded his head. "Definitely second floor." Again, his hand went for hers before they headed to the escalator together.
