|| @ethrouthier liked for a teeny tiny starter!

"You are in a position to demand nothing. I, on the other hand, am in a position to grant nothing."

The chair creaked as he leaned back, letting the shadows of the dim room cascade over him like a waterfall, sharp angles of his features highlighted like moonbeams. Khan drummed the tips of his fingers against the desk, watching the other man carefully.

"How did you find me?"

[ethrouthier]

Eth knew that this was exactly what he was looking for, and he didn't need to convince Khan of much. Maybe having someone out of his way would be enough of this risk.

"I don't need anything, and I don't want you to grant anything to me. I simply know where someone you are looking for is, and I wanted to let you know. No strings attached."

[ethereallyloved]

Rachel giggled to herself, adding the phrase almost immediately. Of course him watching was a little weird and made her feel a little nervous.

At the very least she was done soon enough!

" Alright then! Do you want some special coloring? "

[ethrouthier]

"I trust you. I want it to be clear that it's a crow, but besides that, it is up to you."

She was a good artist, so it made sense that he would trust her. She had earned that trust. And it was going to be cute, so he wasn't very picky.

@ethrouthier

A soft sigh escaped her baby pink lips as she rested her head against Eth’s chest. The day had been perfect, and the evening seemed even more. The windows in the room were open, the cool breeze from the storm raging outside flowed in and wrapped around Rose like a blanket. The rain hit against the windowpane. The flashes of lightning filled the room with a gentle light.

“If you thought I’d fall asleep to this, you’re wrong.” Rose teased as she nestled her head underneath his chin, her legs curling between his own. “Eventually, you’ll figure out I just don’t sleep the best.” She sighed, contently. “Tell me another story.”

[ethrouthier]

Eth ran a hand continually over her hair, hoping to get her comfortable. "Oh yeah? What story are you thinking?"

He hummed for a moment as he thought. "Did I tell you about the time I got bit by an R2 unit? Or when I first figured out that I would be able to use the force? Or when I knew I loved you?"

He hadn't actually said the last word yet, and he wasn't sure if it was smart to use it now, but it would be a nice start.

[ethereallyloved]

She looked at the drawing for a while, puffing her cheeks as she thought about it before suddenly grinning and cleared her throat.

" What a...CAW-tastrophy! "

Well...it sure was an idea! Rachel definitely found it funny! Already beginning to write that down.

[ethrouthier]

Eth laughed and was surprised at how quickly she came up with something. "That works. I don't know that I had any better ideas."

He knew some artists didn't like people looking over their shoulders, but he still tried to get a little glance at it.

[painofhumanity]

Maggie flinched a little when he was suddenly very close to her, more from being startled than being afraid of him. Though, maybe she should've been. Her eyes flitted around him for a moment, taking in his aura once more. "Only that you're not just human," she mumbled back. "Not even just a witch."

Despite his words, and even his tone, Maggie felt like if he'd really wanted to hurt her, he would've done something already. ". . . Sorry, but why would I hurt you? You haven't done anything to me, and ya don't seem like you're about to hurt anybody else, so. . ?" She didn't mention that, even if she wanted to, she couldn't. Maggie was about as frail as they came.

[ethrouthier]

Eth started to relax. The woman seemed serious, and if she didn't know about the demon, it might help. "I'm what I am. And I'm not here to answer questions. I'm just here to have a bite to eat."

He turned and walked away, then had a thought as he did so, turned back around, bumped into her shoulder, and took her wallet out of her pocket.

"Got to go this way," he said, walking out on his own as he slipped the wallet into his pocket himself, or at least trying to, hoping she wouldn't notice. She deserved to have her wallet taken for what she had done.

[ethereallyloved]

She immediately snapped out of it with a squeak, confused and dazed for a moment before she smiled at him sheepishly.

" Oh boy...thank you! I just have been working a lot so I tend to fall asleep...it's fine though! "

Either way she was continuing her work! The cute raven picture was already looking good!

" Do you want like a cute catchphrase underneath it? "

[ethrouthier]

Eth was still worried on her behalf, but he wasn't going to press more than he was meant to.

"Do you have any good ones? I don't really have a catchphrase, I just like ravens." He wondered if a catchphrase was something he should get, but it seemed kind of silly. Eth could be silly, though, when he wanted to be. Only when he was especially comfortable with someone.

@ethrouthier

“Hey, as someone who actually spent time living in a cave, I’m offended,” Sara replied, clearly not offended in the least. “And given that we’re in the middle of the city, must’ve been a long trek from that cave you were in. Any reason you decided to come here? Because I have to warn you, not the greatest area to be sitting around in...”

[ethrouthier]

"I have too, don't worry," Eth said. "It's cheap. Going to start getting cold again soon, need to hibernate. Better than making the trek from my cave in the snow. If you're going to be like this, why are you here?"

ethrouthier​:

Eth hadn’t expected her to remember that too, as if it wasn’t just a dream, and for a moment he wondered if it did happen, but he hadn’t gone to that school.

“Nice to meet you again Rose. I’m Eth Routhier. I’m actually only here for a few days, if we want to reminisce at some point. I don’t live here anymore.”

He wondered, though, if that was a good idea, since he wasn’t going to know any details about the school. Too late now, though.

Eth. The name sounded so familiar to her. As if it held so much weight than just something said in a casual conversation. “It’s nice to meet you again, Eth.” The name spilled from her lips so naturally, as if it was something she had said time and time again.

“Oh yeah? Funny, me too. I’m only in town visiting my parents for a bit before I head back home.” Rose started to thumb through her datapad. “It might be good to catch up. I don’t think you went to the class reunion, did you?” She held her datapad out to him.

“Did you want to give me your number? Maybe tomorrow or  little later we could get together for a few drinks.”

[ethrouthier]

Eth's heart soared. She would be gone. She wouldn't be here. Everything would be fine. Even if they had to push back the destruction, Eth thought he could figure it out.

"No, I'm pretty far from here, and I've never really gotten along with most of the class." That had been true, even if it wasn't his class.

He took her datapad and typed in a number. "I would like that. I don't remember your favorite, but I do think I know a bar you would like. Near the hanging gardens."

He was pretty sure they had been there before, even if he knew that was a truly ridiculous thing to think.

[hosnianleft]

ethrouthier​:

Eth did want food, to be fair, but he didn’t want to do it alone. He wanted to do everything with her suddenly. As if they had done everything together before.

“You know what, I think we might have. Where did you go to school and how long ago?”

He hoped it was big enough that she wouldn’t eventually figure out the truth.

He also had an odd feeling that they had went to school together, at least at some point.

They were in front of a board, as young adults, a map of planets spread across paper that was so complicated he didn’t know if most of the class would ever get it, but she and he had already figured it out. It meant that when their fingers linked under the desk, he didn’t mind the distraction.

“I graduated from the Lorule Central High School about nineish,” Rose gestured vaguely in the space between them with her finger tips. “Tenish years ago” The sudden realization hit her and her lips mouthed the word ‘wow’. “Holy hell, I can’t believe it’s bee that long.” The young blood shook her head a bit. Never could she have predicted ten years ago that she was about to go to war against the First Order.

Her attention turned back to him. “I’m so sorry, I forgot your name. My name is Rose. Rose Cousland. I think we might of had maybe science together. Did we sit next to eachother?”

[ethrouthier]

Eth hadn't expected her to remember that too, as if it wasn't just a dream, and for a moment he wondered if it did happen, but he hadn't gone to that school.

"Nice to meet you again Rose. I'm Eth Routhier. I'm actually only here for a few days, if we want to reminisce at some point. I don't live here anymore."

He wondered, though, if that was a good idea, since he wasn't going to know any details about the school. Too late now, though.

"Don't feed me -- I may come back" [ask meme]

---

Being a home where people could come for a hot meal was...relaxing. Since being brought to the modern age, Sarah Rogers was not sure what to do with herself. Stevie was off being a Hero with his friends, and Sarah...Well, she'd been going to nursing school to learn modern techniques, maybe to be able to do the same job she'd once done. So when this wayward soul had come to the house in Brooklyn that had an open door policy? She'd let him in with no hesitation.

Sarah wasn't afraid. She was an Irish Catholic woman from the twenties. She could take care of herself.

"Oh how terrible." That thick Irish lilt did not obscure the sarcasm and amusement in her tone as blue eyes sparkled back at him, laughter on her lips, "That's what this home's for, boyo. Feedin' those what need it and givin' them a place t' sleep that isn't a shelter or the street. Now. Sit you down, and I'll make you some tea."

---

Eth had been told by another homeless friend that Sarah could be trusted, and he figured anyone who raised Steve Rogers was a good woman.

He generally could support himself day to day, didn't want to take up needed help, but the city had been hard this week. He hoped he wouldn't have to spend the night, but the shelters will filling up, and they stressed him out. He didn't like being stressed.

Still, he didn't like asking for help. "If you can just give me dinner, I'll be on my way, no need to spend all this time on me. I know you're a good woman, but plenty of people need a good woman."

Besides, unlike many other people that probably came through, it was his fault.

ethrouthier​:

Eth didn’t know how he would make this woman leave, but he wouldn’t be able to if he didn’t talk to her.

“Could you point me to anywhere with food? I’ll buy you some in exachange.”

They ate in the back of a ship, music playing in front of them, people all around, but it was just their free hand’s clasped that he noticed, over even the taste of the food.

“I think we’ll enjoy eating together,” he said in a half-daze.

It had been a while since Rose had thought about her favorite place to eat here. She pursed her lips together with a soft hum. “I think it just depends on what you’re in the mood for,” She said after a moment if thought. “There’s a small corner store coffee shop called Suzies where they have homemade breads and some of the best café you’ll have.” Rose nodded her head a little past his gaze. “It’s down that way a bit. And then dinner wise? There’s nothing short of options here. It really depends on the mood you’re in.”

Rose brought her gaze back to him. “As much as I would love to join you, I can’t. I’d be running late to the dinner plans I have already. I do appreciate the offer, though.” She gave him a warm smile. There was something oddly familiar about him. Rose couldn’t place a finger on it.

“Have we met before?” Rose finally asked. “You look familiar. Did we go to school together?”

[ethrouthier]

Eth did want food, to be fair, but he didn't want to do it alone. He wanted to do everything with her suddenly. As if they had done everything together before.

"You know what, I think we might have. Where did you go to school and how long ago?"

He hoped it was big enough that she wouldn't eventually figure out the truth.

He also had an odd feeling that they had went to school together, at least at some point.

They were in front of a board, as young adults, a map of planets spread across paper that was so complicated he didn't know if most of the class would ever get it, but she and he had already figured it out. It meant that when their fingers linked under the desk, he didn't mind the distraction.

[ethereallyloved]

Well she wasn't the one who had bought this apartment but then again would it be wise to tell him? It may give off the wrong impression. She didn't want to come off as spoiled!

She hummed a little tune as she began to draw, entirely focused on her work. But! That didn't mean that she couldn't answer his question!

" Nope! Just me and my cats...my dad...insisted on me living here and I didn't want to say no....he can be pretty dramatic. "

That's just how a movie actor worked apparently. Nonetheless her drawing suddenly slowed down and then...she began to snore?

[ethrouthier]

He wished he had had a father that did those sorts of things for him, even when he was young, but that was all long gone.

The cats were the best part of the apartment, though. "The cats deserve it," he answered.

When she began to snore, it caught him a bit off-guard. It didn't seem to make sense that she would fall asleep when she was so focused. Maybe she had a medical issue or something.

Still, he didn't want to get up and bother the cats. "Excuse me," he called out softly, then louder, "Are you okay?"

[ethrouthier]

Work is boring, so like for an ask meme.

[ethereallyloved]

To be fair, she may not even notice seeing how messy some parts of her apartment were. Fortunately her father already taught her early on that not everyone has this much luck in life. Therefore she tried not to be too extra!

Which sometimes wasn't easy considering how despite his words, her father still gave her too much even when she told him to stop.

" Oh? Why thank you! If it were for me a much smaller apartment would have been enough...but anyway! I'm just gonna start drawing now! But please wake me if I should fall asleep on my desk! "

That..was a little concerning? But disregarding that, he immediately got approached by two cats! Mr Muffin and Ms Biscuit! And they both just decided to lay on him. No escaping now!

[ethrouthier]

If a much bigger apartment would be enough, why did she have this one? He didn't understand people that spent more money than necessary.

"Do you share this one?" he asked, then stopped. "Sorry, focus on drawing. That is more important."

He tensed when he saw the cats. Some animals seemed able to sense his demon and weren't always nice about it. But these cats seemed to have no trouble getting to know him, so soon he was calmer than he had been, petting them and wishing, not for the first time, that he could get a pet of his own.

He thought the sleep thing was odd but decided maybe it was just some figure of speech that he didn't understand.

[ethereallyloved]

She felt relieved to hear that he had no idea about her family. Made everything less stressful for her!

" Deal and nope! I was just checking something! Oh...we're here! "

They finally arrived at her apartment and it was huge! There was so much space! It was decorated with all sorts of things! Plushies, drawings and overall cute things.

There was even a big flatscreen TV. But for now she was more focused on her drawing desk and sticker machine.

" Make yourself at home! Snacks are in the fridge! "

[ethrouthier]

Eth had to remind himself that she was very kind to him, so he couldn't take any of her things, even if they seemed extra.

Of course, the snacks couldn't hurt, could they? But he had kept enough money to get dinner, so instead he tentatively sat on a couch, not even looking for the water he wanted.

"Nice place you have here," he said, trying to sound more appreciative than jealous or derogatory. Plenty of people lived like this for fair reasons, and it wasn't as if it was complete opulence. Plus, she had opened the apartment to him. Maybe she was one of those good rich people. They did exist.

[untilthcyrot]

For the sake of his fragility, she was going to resist rolling her eyes at his mortal fascination with conjuring up magic and demons. It was true that she didn't know him and didn't understand his motives behind it, but most humans were alike. They wanted to gain something that they didn't have and instead of working hard for it, they chose the "easy" way and ultimately found that there was nothing easy about it. Then what happened some of the time? Her hounds were used to drag souls to Hell as payment for giving them what they wanted.

❝ You could sit here and blame yourself, ❞ she began very matter-of-factly but then sighed through her nose before continuing, ❝ But you're not completely to blame. Demons are masters at preying on desperation. It doesn't take them very long to understand your strengths and weaknesses. Your demon found yours and has latched onto it. ❞ Though she owed him no help, out of her own curiosity she had to wonder if she was capable of having abilities to help him at all.

❝ Nobody does, ❞ the hellmother stated and felt proud about such a thing, too. While celestial forces of Heaven and Hell often found themselves against each other on a daily basis, and even other creatures out there went unbeknownst to humans, Neria was her own entity. While she came to be in Hell, she was no demon. ❝ Truthfully, I wouldn't know what to share about myself. What would you like to know? ❞

[ethrouthier]

The thing was, Eth felt like he had been more bored than desperate. Desperate to be unique, perhaps. Desperate to be worth something to his parents. But he generally thought that compared to other people who had been possessed, he had had a pretty easy life. He wanted power, but that was selfishness in his eyes.

He didn't know what he wanted to know about her, mostly just to get the focus off himself.

"Do you prey on humans then?" He figured he should know if he should be concerned. Even if Abaraxas could attack her, and he didn't know that Abaraxas could, why wouldn't they just get together against him?

But Abaraxas didn't want to admit why he hated Eth so much. Even Eth didn't know for a long time. So maybe Abraxas wouldn't team up with anyone.
