Okay, he's back. Jittery, (though he knows better than to show it,) and watching the bar from a place in the corner (where he can have his back to a wall) and fingers curled tight around his glass.

But he is here.

She tenses, still and pale under his hand.



She remembers (cold, ice cold and flame dying drowned pain) everything.

Head back, eyes shut and breath catching in her throat and but it still hurts and she's never going to forget it.

Ever.

Fingers pressing, heat flaring up under them but it's not enough, never enough.

because she'll never forget when she let her guard down and he took advantage.

But she slowly relaxes, calming.

She leans forward, and rests her forehead on his shoulder, trying to hide a shiver.

She waits there, for a moment, and she thinks - knows, really - that he won't harm her here.

She'll trust in that.

Eyes shut, and it takes effort not to burn him down.

A moment where she clenches her fingers on his arm, then relaxes.

(grew conscious of its lonely state;
No one nor nothing could hear its cries
In the lonely depths of Utter Nothingness--
Like a forlorn babe,
Lost and in despair,
In a cold dark forest.)

She raises her head, half-bares her teeth in an animal-like snarl.

...and from a distance not-so-far away, comes a quiet chuckle, and the smell of a slowly burning cigarette. If they look up, they'll see it comes from the man sitting near the observation window. He's smiling.

I's been a very amusing show.

Oh.

Oh.

Fire exhales, a slow hiss, and half-turns to Frost.

"Your Belial?"

'I'm not anyone's,' he remarks casually. His voice reaches them easily, though he's not all that close.

There's a glance at Frost which can only be described as 'chilly'. He's never been the biggest fan of this creature. Fire, on the other hand, is getting a look that's both appraising and...filthy.

It's the only word for it.
