Adom stood quietly in front of the other as they threatened him, a smirk spread over cracked pale lips. Clenching his right hand into a fist and tilting his head. His eyes, now slightly glowing with a grey hue, against his slightly greyed skin. Adom let out a light laugh, sticking his tongue in the right side of his cheek and glancing away before quickly looking toward Takashi again and suddenly taking another swing at Takashi.

Adom made a face " Is that true? Hm. I would figure if the Guard is the first to get stabbed, he would have done his job diligently. For what is he getting stabbed for, if not for protecting his King?" Adom had asked. Then gave a shrug " Not that your answer his wrong Bryson. Your life is worth more than mine, to you." Adom offered a grin to the other " I'm just important to the people. I am not important, at all."

With a shrug he listen as the other went on talking then. It was always interesting, hearing Bryson’s views on a monarchy. While no doubt untrue. Adom felt the other thought it was perhaps easy to not be a puppet "Oh, but that's how monarchy's die. Playing the puppet is in our best interests, Bryson." He lift his thumb up to his neck and made a slitting motion "Death is inevitable. Quicker when playing with those that would demand us guide them. The People have The Power." Giving a small laugh then he shook his head "Though I guess that would be hard for even a guard to wrap their head around." Adom said solemnly then.

Looking toward Bryson, he let out a small breath of resign " Let's hope I manage that. But people can be so fickle." As he walked out of the room he heard Bryson pass his order on to another and glances toward the ceiling before looking back ahead of him as he listen to the other follow after him. Of course a little slower do to heavier equipment than Adom had. He could hear the others uniform rubbing and clinking together as they walked after him. A grin spread gently over his lips, his head dropping down slightly as he found it amusing that Bryson rarely would leave his side, and would have probably had some excuse to explain away the others diligence. Adom looked back over his shoulder then " You know, you might just be the only real friend I've ever had, Bryson. You grew up into a better guard than I would have imagined when we were kids."

"Don't try 911. They're not qualified."

Malcolm in the Middle sentence starters

Adom made a face toward them. What the hell did they mean by that? Raising his eyebrows he looked down for a moment “Okay. Then tell me. Who is qualified for this? Because they need to be contacted...” Taking out his phone anyway, he decided to call 911 anyway, not knowing what the hell this person even thought was appropriate to do at the moment.

He had just warned the other, but as they were asking they were tripping in the next moment. Catching themselves on him. Adom grabbed at Aeron's upper arms to help the other balance. With a laugh he looked toward the other before quickly looking back up, thinking that the other would already be embarrassed enough in the situation. Letting out an amused huff, one he tried to stifle, Adom soon enough cleared his throat in the next second. Though he noticed them clinging, glancing down toward Aeron he could see they were enjoying the closeness to him.

Taking a step back then, he nodded "Oh! I'm g r e a t! What about you? No broken foot or anything, riiight?" Adom asked with a cute little grin before releasing the other, as they weren't into such affectionate things, right? He moved his hands to his hips, leaning to one side for a moment as he looked toward the floor "Maybe there's buried treasure under that floor." Adom teasingly suggested, having gotten away with his caring moment with Aeron he turned and began walking toward the destination they had originally been heading to.

There was a difference in wording when one broke it down, 'Should' sounded like a demand 'Could' was a suggestion and 'Can' was not just permission. It certainly wasn't giving Aeron the permission to be hugged. But Adom giving Aeron the permission to hug him back. If there was a moment after being nearly killed that one needed a hug, Adom had needed it then. But Aeron was stiff as a board. This on top of Aeron's comment had left him with a sigh. Slowly he pulled away and nodded "I know..."

Adom assessed the others words for a moment "That's why I was only informing you, if you wanted to, you can hug me back..." Adom gave a shrug then. His soulmate could be so trying at times. Adom back away then turned to one side and started to walk away from the other toward something else in the room to distract him "And what have you been doing while I've been in the hospital. Not hugging anyone,...clearly."

Adom grinned and knocked his head to one side " You don't seem the type to be able to get around that. Though if you get shot in the head, who is?" Blinking at that he shift a little bit as he moved to guide Aeron. He had to make it look like he was taking Aeron hostage. Anyone watching would think not to come after Aeron if they viewed him as another victim. Glancing up toward the sidewalk camera that had been pointed toward the event he dragged Aeron toward the car.  As Aeron spoke again about wanting to live he nods " Good! Because I want to live. For some reason." With a careless shrug he pushed the other toward the car again. Looking around for anyone coming to finish the job on him. Adom then looked again toward Aeron "I want you to get in this car."

Once inside he got in. Starting the car and speeding off down the road "I'm only kidnapping you because if I leave you there after that shit you pulled the people coming after me are going to kill you. There's no maybe to that. They don't accept 'I was just trying to help' as an answer. You have better luck coming with me until I can drop you off somewhere less hot." Looking up at the mirror he looked toward the back seeing a car tailing him " Shit." Turning he continued to speed, pushing even further on the gas peddle. Taking a sharp turn down another road " You might want to get down. We're being tailed." He swerved then, just missing hitting another car " Shit. Get off the road I am speeding here!" Adom shouted and looked back toward the pedestrian "Idiots."

Adom frowned a bit disappointingly at Aeron's not noticing his partial rhyme.  His soulmate was oblivious, noted. Adom laughed a bit amused.  At the others defensiveness he gave a quick nod "Of course they grew back. I imagine they were pretty bad even before that incident. Children aren't known for not being picky about their food anyway, or drink. He made a face, sucking on his teeth a bit "I'd feel worse for you if you didn't have any taste buds at all." He wasn't going to sit there and preach about how he liked wine either. Or why anyone should like wine. Aeron wasn't going to listen to him, Adom knew that. The other was like an old man stuck in his ways and thoughts.

As Aeron further defended his stance Adom turned his head away " Sure. You don't like being babied. But that doesn't mean you aren't babied." Adom confirmed before taking another sip of his drink and again looking to Aeron "Which clearly you were. To some extent. If you don't like something because it 'taste's like church'. Though instead of being babied. Perhaps you are just that immature. I don't know." Adom commented lightly before giving a shrug " That's like me saying frog leg's taste like chicken, just to get others to eat it. But it's not the chicken taste I'm worried about." Adom grinned and perked up a bit "It's the frog." Turned his eyes away he frowned then "Temple is pretty fun, actually."

Worshiping his former array of gods was enjoyable. Parties were always 'lit' at temple. Again, however, Aeron was not a child. So he wasn't going to assign himself as Aeron's mother. However, as a friend, a soulmate, even. Adom was going to show the other a whole new world. Just like that song from Aladdin.  Amused he bites on his lips before taking a step toward Aeron " Artificial flavors are nothing compared to the real thing. That's for sure."

Adom was making his way down the sidewalk and some moments later as he turned the corner that lead to his apartment he almost stumbled into Eira, who seemed to be coming in his direction with what he could guess was a bit of purpose. Smiling a little he started to give a wave to the short woman, and began saying her name before she clocked him right in the head. Stumbling back he dropped to the ground, taking the next full rounds of hits from her. When she had stopped hitting him he lift up his right hand to the side of his face, wincing a bit " Ow-" Listening to her threat he frowned a bit " What are you talking about?" He had asked, hissing a bit at the pain and redness that had come over where she had struck him "-You hit harder than I would have thought you could-..you know that..." Adom had mumbled then, cradling his head and shutting his right eye as it became a bit puffy "Are you talking about Aeron? What did I do to him?"
