Reid tensed a little when Kiva got up, he wanted to walk over to her and wrap his arms around her but the last time he tried to protect her that blew up in his face. So now he was going to have to deal with the hurt on her own and then maybe he would help her afterwards. Reid turned to look out the window so that way he could keep his mind off the subject in the room but he felt a presence near him. He looked out of the corner of his eye to see Rayln's leech standing next to him. Reid took a deep breath rolling his eyes and then turning his attention to the girl. "Can I help you?" He asked her in a low but slightly polite voice, Reid didn't want to scare the girl but he found her presence annoying.
Kiva tensed a little when she felt someone touch her but soon relaxed, she knew that no one in this room would hurt her. Though when she was made to look at someone was she surprised that it was Rayln. Kiva stared up at him trying to grasp at anything and when he spoke to her she froze, that language...it had been ages since she heard it and it took her a minute to figure out what he was saying. It brought her back to when she was a very small child, long before she was with her foster parents. To a time she hardly remembered but the phrase was clear to her now, Kiva nodded her head at his question. "Tu es absentis piece animae meae?" The words followed smoothly from her lips much to her surprise and waited for his reaction.
((Tu es absentis piece animae meae?=Are you the missing piece to my soul?))

Inez looked at him," I can see that your worried but you don't have to be touchy on things like this you know." She said it quite simply then stepped away seeing he was slightly annoyed with her being close, it was like he hated them or something , she didn't care as long as he kept the knife ways she was okay. Looking back at Rayln she sighed, sitting back down. "Ego sum absentis piece" He said back a large smile on his face, he Hugged her tight he felt a bit more whole now but he still felt like something was wrong like there was still something keeping them apart. "I didn't know I would find a purpose here...Of all places my purpose to find was my family." He said with a large smile on his face. He was happy to fill the whole, he usually ignored it with a hate that made him bitter, but now it felt a bit warmer to him, however he felt that Inez was being pushed out of his heart so he furrowed his brow a bit to see if he could still fit her there.
((Ego sum absentis piece--I am your missing piece))

Reid was glad when she backed away from him though her advice would not affect him sadly for her but then he looked at Kiva and got confused. He had never heard her speak another language besides english and now he had a lot more questions to ask her. Though he doubt he would get the chance to ask her then Reid clenched his fists together and had to stop himself from going for Rayln's throat. Reid leaned up against the nearest wall to keep himself from out right acting the death wishing fallen angel.
Kiva almost jumped for joy and squealed but she contained herself some and instead she wrapped her arms around him. She was content with that and having him close to her once again, her heart wasn't hurting so much anymore but she was still fearful of being taken away and being used like a pawn. She pulled away from him and looked up with a somewhat of a sheepish smile "There's a reason why I have been searching for you. There is something I need to ask you..." she said playing with her shirt some and once again she was nervous and very unsure of his answer.

Ralyn returned the embrace however he was watching Inez and her reactions as well, knowing she would be temperamental on this too. He noticed Reid's reaction to him and smiled a sadistic smile, almost begging him to make a move on him. Turning his eye back to Kiva he pushed his smile off his face,"You can ask me anything." He said as he made her look up with a stern hand, he was never 'gentle' even with Inez. He wasn't sure what she was going to ask but it seemed like it was going to be interesting. Inez was sitting there feeling a little jealous of Kiva getting all of Ralyn's attention but she tried to hide hit, failing badly.

Kiva pulled her chin away from his grip, she didn't like the fact that he made her look at him. Any guy who ever thought about handling her like that would usually end up seriously hurt or dead but none the less she pulled away from him, now noticing Inez reaction to Rayln hugging her. She wasn't the type of person to take anyone from someone else, as much as it was nice having her brother back in her life she was not going to hurt someone else. Though she didn't like the fact that her brother had someone else in his life which would probably make it harder for Kiva to get his help when he would be concentrating on someone else. "Well I am still being hunted by our kind. The high order will not give up there search for me till I am back in their custody and being used like a pawn" She started out, still unsure if she wanted to ask this of him "I need your help to get away from them and my foster parents told me that you were the only one who could help me get them off my back"

Ralyn smiled when she pulled away more out of reaction but he thought it was funny. Listening to her his brow furrowed, not liking what he was hearing. "Our kind? Why would they be hunting you? And a pawn for what? Is there a war I'm not thinking of?"Inez's head was low as she didn't look at them, knowing she was very readable and was trying to hide it. Ralyn knew she was jealous but this was his sister, he could allow some grief for this. Taking a step back he ruffled his wings, as he got agitated with not knowing anything.

Kiva was unsure as to what he was getting at but this was new to him so she took a deep breath "Well not really our kind, not fallen angels but angels. As for why I don't really know other then they want me because I am a seer. I get visions of what is to come though I don't see how that could be of any help cause I usually only see a day or two ahead" she explained further hoping that he understood now.
Reid was getting a little more irritated at Rayln, did the guy really need it to be spelled out for him. His sister was in danger and she wanted his help, was that so hard to understand. Reid pushed from the wall and walked up to Kiva "She needs your help, what more do you need to know?!" He snapped at the other guy.

Looking taken back he looked at Reid who stepped up to 'help' Kiva, where she didn't need to help her. "I think-You Ried need to step down, this is new information to me and I wasn't to know what I'm going to be dragging myself into as well as Inez.I don't want her getting killed for an unknown cause." He looked back at Kiva taking a breath," I know what we are and I know where we came from, I even know where our parent's Used to be...I don't think they are alive...I don't remember that part. I ran off when they bid me to do so to 'protect' me. They told me to go search for my purpose as it would be looking for me too." Inez when she hear Reid snap at Ralyn she had a knife at her side from her boot. She didn't hid it but she had shot up out of her seat and had the knife in a threatening manner. Ralyn knew her well enough from past experiences that he took three steps back from Kiva and Reid and Grabbed the knife from Inez. Looking at her, she had tears on her face still, her eyes just starting to get red."No weapons. Its fine." "He was being rude and disrespectful." She almost whimpered from her clenched teeth. "I can't stand that. She as good as fell back to her seat as her legs gave out from the sudden stress. Ralyn wrapped an arm around her shoulders and kept it there, to keep her there. he knew she wasn't a real threat to either of them but even the thought of her getting hurt would kill him.

Kiva looked at Reid and then to Rayln, she wasn't expecting a fight but with two egos this size it looked like there was going to be one. Kiva placed a hand on Reid's shoulder and squeezed lightly. He relaxed some but was still ready if there was going to be a fight. She was feeling quiet defeated at the moment and wondered if she was going to have to deal with this threat herself. She didn't want to put anyone else in danger and would avoid doing so at any cost, even her own life. "I understand...so does Reid even though he doesn't look it." Kiva looked at Reid and he changed his expression, he knew how Kiva worked and would do anything she said. He nodded his head at her comment and back down from his fighting stance to walk over to his bags to check the contents once more. He figured that they would be leaving this town soon so that their pursuers wouldn't get too close to them. "I do not wish to put anyone's life in danger, so you must do what you think is best for yourself and your companion. I bid you farewell and good luck on your adventures" she gave Rayln a smile to show him that all would be well and then she looked at Inez. She walked over to the girl and placed a hand on her shoulder "Take care of him" she said and walked over to Reid as he read of their supplies.

Rayln watched as Reid listened to Kiva and couldn't help but smile, they were alike in some ways like how they obeyed the girls they traveled with. Leaning over he hugged Inez a bit then let her go, putting the knife in his belt line. When Kiva touch her, Inez's head snapped up, confused. "We never declined your offer for help. I was thinking about it...Will he have to kill people? Or what is it?" Ralyn looked between the girls as they spoke, he was slightly confused about how Inez instantly changed stances on the topic. "I don't want him to give up yet. I'm not ready for him to give up yet." She said in more pleading voice as she looked at Kiva, like a child she felt like she wanted to cry. Her eyes were welling up with tears and Rayln had a hand on the necklace she had given him. He smiled and sat next to her, trying to put an arm around her to comfort her she shrugged him off, a cross look accompanied the shrug. "Kiva, please... You just found your brother..."

Kiva turned around in surprise, even Reid looked up from what he was doing and listened to Inez. She was very moving in her words but none the less Kiva was not going to put them in danger. She sighed a little and turned her full attention to the two of them. "As Rayln said he doesn't want to drag you into something that would get you killed and as his sister I am not going to take something away from him that he seems to care so much for" she said, her heart welling up with a form of sadness hoping that one day she could have what Inez had. Kiva gave her a happy smile "And this won't be the last time that I see my brother but thank you for the concern" she said moving her eyes to Rayln so that Inez wouldn't see her expression. She knew that Rayln would be able to handle it though, her eyes were sad and held a secret that she would not be letting Inez know nor Reid. This would be the last time she spoke with her brother cause to take on the black coats by herself was suicide but she knew she would have Reid by her side to help. "Kiva is a very proud person..." Reid began to say as he finished up packing their things "She does not like to wish harm upon anyone when she would feel it be her fault. Rayln would have to fight and kill if he were to accept and anyone close to him would be used against him and possibly hurt if not killed as well. Kiva knows this well and she wants to respect her brothers wishes so we will go and run for as long as we can till they catch us and then we will fight" Reid finished and walked up to Kiva. It was getting late and they should probably find something to eat before they rested for they would be leaving after tomorrow morning. Kiva looked at Reid, she knew that there was a reason she chose him as a companion. "It's about time we found something for dinner, don't you think Kiva" she nodded her head and turned to the other two. "Would you guys like to join us for dinner? You know as a celebratory thing or something" She asked them trying to lighten the dark mood.

Inez's mouth fell open as she listened to the denial she was hearing. It was all her fault-that Kiva wasn't going to get her brothers help or anything- it as her fault. Speechless she shook her head and ran out of the room, Ried had already said his piece but she couldn't accept it. Ralyn hadn't been expecting her answer and stood up as he sprinted by him, missing her arm. He looked at Kiva a soft smile on his face," I think we will decline thank you. Ried-", He turned to look at him, extending his hand to shake," Please continue to watch over my sister till I can join you and help you. I need to care for Inez for a short time. See you when I see you next. Like 'Quaerite et absconde'...Good night sister." He leaned in and gave her a kiss on the fore head then nodding to Ried he left after Inez, she was probably in a quiet place. She hated noisy places when upset.

Kiva felt bad for upsetting the girl but it was the truth, Reid nodded and shook Rayln's hand. They both watched as he left and then Reid turned to Kiva "So what would you like to eat?" He asked and she shrugged her shoulders. He laughed a little "Yea I know I should probably stop asking you that" He said and playfully pushed her out the door. There was no reason why they couldn't be happy for now and enjoy the fact that they had some peace. "I'm surprised you haven't figured that out yet Reid" she said pushing him back as they walked out of the inn and started through the town looking for some place to eat.

She hid her face as she felt a few people look at her as she scurried past. She wanted to be alone where if any one could find her it would be the person she needed, no one else. She climbed up a guard's post tower and onto the ledge then she jumped to a tree just out side the town, she knew she could easier slip out and in but she wanted to not leave a trail, bad habits.
Ralyn walked out of the Inn and caught her sent almost instantly, she was mad and scared and confused, it had been rolling off of her. He followed it till it reached the guard tower, that made him skeptical. Leaving town he walked around a bit, then picked it up faintly from above him, as well as the sound of rustling leaves from a tree. He jumped up into the tree and climbed a bit seeing some white pale fabric a bit farther up then hew as now. Climbing he jumped up onto the branch the cloth was on, Inez was there as well. Her face was buried in her knees and she looked very unhappy. "Inez, Your fine, I will make sure yours safe, then I will help her...Come there is no need to be upset." She looked at him like she was gonna knock him right out of the tree. "How can you say that...?" "I wanted you to be safe, now leave it be...Its fine. I don't want you getting hurt.""Getting hurt, getting hurt? What am I to you a child?" She made to climb down from the tree but Ralyn put a hand on her shoulder to stop her for the moment, then she just let go of the branch and started to fell. her foot had slipped but she didn't care much at the moment, if it got Ralyn's hand off of her she was okay. Ralyn freaked out, grabbing at where she had been a second before he tucked his wings to keep them safe, then dived after her, catching air quickly. He wrapped his arms around her then flipped her as he pulled her close as they hit the ground. Ralyn hadn't seen her ever doing that but she was safe, he hit the ground not her. Inez was shocked at what had happened in a matter of seconds, Ralyn had seemingly tried to keep her then she jumped and he still caught her. She pulled her head up to see if he was okay his eyes were closed, his wings in an uncomfortable sprawl on the ground under him. When she tried to move she couldn't Ralyn had her tight still, meaning he was still conscience. Face to face she stayed where shew as looking at him a bit below eye level in the silence. "I do not think of you as a child. You are my friend and...and I have grown rather attached to you..." He said in a lower tone. He didn't want to say anything else because he could keep himself controlled as he thought of how he really felt. Her face went form denial to surprise, a blush replacing the pale skin from the fall. "Ralyn...Did you hit your head?" He smiled as he looked down at her,"Of course but its okay, as long as you didn't Its fine." He said then still holding her with one arm he sat up, practically putting her in his lap. Looking down at her his smile widened," Your so cute when you are concerned about me" That made her blush then she started to struggle to get out of his lap as she was starting to get uncomfortable about the situation. "Ralyn let me go, come one." He smiled as he loved wrestling as he almost let her get away till he pulled her foot back and she about face planted on the ground, rolling her over he pinned her down. "Ralyn that's not fair, let me up." She tried to struggle against him again but he was a bit too heavy for her. He leaned down to her and whispered into her ear," Why are you fighting me? Don't you like how I give you all my attention, my love, my curiosity...aren't you happy now?" Her eyes went wide as she finally figured out that he knew her secret, he knew that she liked him. She turned her face from his when he puled it up a bit to see her face, she was blushing madly but he smiled at her. "Inez, Don't be like that, It took for ever to figure it out, but your little jealous fits keep giving you away...I think they are cute, but the knife has to stop coming out." That made her laugh, as she tried to keep her face from looking at him . When he put both of her wrists over her head, holding them with one hand he used the now free hand to pull her chin to look at him. "Inez, I know your not mad at me...So look at me." She did, since she had took the hand making her, she was stubborn to a point but only to a physical point where she couldn't be any more. He leaned in and gave her a soft kiss, not pulling away till after he got a kiss, then he let go of her hands, trying to balance himself better. The kiss had already knocked him over mentally, but this was really his first. Inez's first reaction to this was to resist but she felt like she could on this one, he held his face lightly, kissing him back. He expected a bit of resistance but found nothing. Puling away eh smiled at her, then getting up he offered her a hand of assistance. Sher took it then slugged him in the arm in a playful manner. "Lets get some food."Nodding the walked back into town and into the bar, grabbing some stew and hard brown bread. They talked a bit about what they were going to do and thought she was unhappy with the most part of the plan she didn't mind it too bad. She got Ralyn's attention till she settled into a home. He would come back to see her when he was passing threw or by but she would stay there. He even promised to get her something to do. That he was very vague on but she assumed she would find out eventually. "So your telling me that I have to be 'human' for a bit so I can get used to being normal? Like a fall back in case you need a place to hide?" "You can look at it like that, You can't tell me you don't wanna play house with me. Come on." She glared at his smirk. "Shut it. Where are you planning on stashing me?" "A little out into the woods, I have seen some homes there, I will get you one there and set you up there. You should be fine as long as I send you gold and such or at least keep you enough here."
After eating he went to the Inn they had rented a bit ago to sleep at, It was a little boarding house not he town's Inn. That was where Kiva and Ried were. Sighing as He let Inez have the bed, he stretched his wings out, they were still sore from earlier. "Ralyn? Can you come lay with me till I fall asleep?" He smiled at her then nodded, taking off his vest, he layed down next to her, stretched out and wrapped his arms and a wing around her, to keep her warm. He watched her lay there a few minutes then gave her a small kiss on her neck, That wasn't expected from her but she gave him more of her neck to kiss by turning her head. He smirked at her encouragement. She had been a girl who had been sold for things such as this and she had sworn to kill nay man who ever touched her again yet here he was, but then again he wasn't a 'man' he was a fallen angel...
In the morning he woke up, stretching he pushed the blanket off of him, getting dressed. There was hardly any light from the window meaning it was still early. He smiled as he walked out of the room and went out side to get some air. Deciding he wanted to talk to Kiva he went over to the Inn and hoped she was awake, most angles' woke early.

They kept walking not really finding anything they wanted to eat but soon found a cafe to sit at. There wasn't much they had to eat but sandwiches were good enough for now and they would probably get something on the rode. "So what do you plan to do now?" Reid asked her when the waitress walked off. Their conversations were private, no need to worry simple humans more then they already were. Kiva sat there contemplating his question, she wasn't really sure what she wanted to do. They could only run for so long before they would have to fight and she would rather die then be taken by the black coats. "We'll give it another week and then I guess we'll take them on" she finally said as she shrugged her shoulders. The waitress walked back over setting their food in front of them and she turned to Reid giving him a flirty smile. He just rolled his eyes at her and placed a hand on Kiva's. After that the girl just walked away probably feeling disappointed, even though her and Reid weren't together. "Well no matter what happens I'll still fight by your side" he said giving her a smile and they began to eat their food.
After dinner they made their way back to the room, it was getting late and they would be getting up earlier to leave the town. Inside their room Kiva just sat on the bed and laid against the pillows staring up at the ceiling. Her mind was thinking on everything, this was going to be a lot harder without her brothers help and she was cursing some at her foster parent's. How could she have believed that her brother that didn't even know she existed help her. She sighed some and Reid sat down on the other side of the bed and laid a hand on her knee. "It's going to be ok. We can handle this together, we don't need his help" he said trying to encourage her but knew it probably wouldn't help any.
