( Alexiel is glaring at her communicator, her eyes glowing malevolently. She is sitting at a bar and a number of empty (and large) cups are scattered in front of her. )

I don't feel anything. ( Drunk or otherwise. No, that's not true, actually. She's still pissed off and the alcohol only splashes against the barrier of her rage. Useless. )

Nothing can make this better. ( She shoves the cups off of the bar and stands up. As the glass shatters on impact, she stands up. Immediately, the room spins and she covers her mouth with her hand, coughing.

So she had been wrong. There is an effect. It's just not the one she wants. )

Welcome to take a room at Oh Aces for however long you need to sober up.

[You should have returned to the castle last night Alexiel...they have company.]

One of two might. Setsuna is here. [And if ne is not as down as ne had been of late there is more than enough reason for why.] And Ones Lord.

( She isn't feeling very gracious, sorry Luke, but she does give the camera a brief nod. )

( So her senses hadn't been lying.

Damn it all. )

Why are they here? Are they staying or visiting?

video; //private

[indecent_butterfly]

Visiting or so it seems.

Then... ( She doesn't know if she wants to see them.

Well, no, of course she wants to see them. But watching them disappear again...

Something had broken in her before. )

[Oh she doesn't have to tell Hatter about it, really she doesn't.]

Alexiel...he is not Kira. [And ne's not sure if that will be better or worst when the time comes.]

[confined_to_briah]

( Surprisingly, that doesn't change much for her. )

I know him either way.

[indecent_butterfly]

[No, but it means everything to nem.]

True, but he was not what this One wanted. Even if he does not want as well.

[confined_to_briah]

You preferred Kira? ( Or was Lucifer...not himself? ) Perhaps I should seek him out.

video; //private

[indecent_butterfly]

No. Kira was not the proper one. [He tried.]

He has been looking for you. [Or rather had nem looking. Same thing really. And ne'd ask if Alexiel needed any help, but ne doesn't want to suggest anything.]

Proper has very little to do with it.

... ( Damn it all. Why does her heart beat a little faster at those words? ) Then I should find him first.

[indecent_butterfly]

[For the same reason nirs did the instant he said nir name.]

He can be directed to you instead.

[Flying while intoxicated isn't a good idea. Also, just stay home next time--the castle has a very well stocked bar.]

( But that would be sharing her misery and she tries not to do that.

However she is getting up and walking to the door now. )

How kind.

[beyourarmy]

Hey.... What are you trying to make better?

[confined_to_briah]

...Setsuna. ( Her voice suddenly sounds ragged and there might be the trace of something shining in her eyes. ) You're here.

[beyourarmy]

[His own voice is kind of soft and weighted.] Yeah.... For now.

[confined_to_briah]

Where are you? I... ( She's throwing her oaths aside. ) I need to see you.

[beyourarmy]

How about you tell me where you are? [Seems like the safer thing at the moment.]

[confined_to_briah]

The place where...Kira worked. ( Yeah, she's sentimental. Deal with it. )

--> action;

[beyourarmy]

[He smiles.] Sorry I'm not him. But at least I know where that's at. [He still hates they were separated, again, after everything, but at least they won't be anymore once she returns home. But for Setsuna, this is his only time with her.]

[So have a six-winged angel alighting outside. He'll at least put away the wings before he goes inside. All casual, like he didn't leave or anything.]

Hey, Alexiel.

action;

[confined_to_briah]

( Oh Setsuna, why would you say that? Alexiel frowns and shakes her head. )

You're you and you are the one I want to see. ( She comes to the doorway and pushes it open. Her curls are a bit disarrayed and she probably smells like alcohol, but deal with it. It doesn't take her even the blink of an eye to wrap him in a tight, protective hug. )

I swear, I'm going to tie you down this time.

action;

[beyourarmy]

I've never really been into that kinky shit. [Whatever he says, Setsuna wraps his arms tightly around Alexiel. He smells the alcohol. Yeah, probably best he went to her.]

Ropes probably can't hold me, anyway. How 'bout I get a drink. One of whatever you were having.

action;

[confined_to_briah]

Too bad. ( She kisses the side of his head, finally letting a few tears drop onto his shirt. ) I'll bully you into them.

( Who says she needs to step back to let him walk into the bar? Crazy people, that's who. She walks backwards instead, still holding onto him securely. )

How have you been?

action;

[beyourarmy]

You are quite the bully, but I'll get free again. [He kisses her cheek, and more than feels the tears than sees them. Still, when he does, he frowns a little.]

I thought I hated just making Sara cry. But maybe I hate making people I care about cry. [His arms stay around her, just in case. This walking backwards thing could end badly if she's drunk!]

And I was doing pretty good. But now I feel kinda bad I'm not here anymore.
