Sage walks back to Ryu and does not make eye contact with him. She then says "Shall we go with them?" Sage still has her head bowed and she is holding her arms.

Sage catches his arm and says "No, I would rather stay with you. I...I'm sorry." Sage stands there feeling ashamed of how she acted towards Belle, Layali, and Asher...She still doesnt make eye contact with Ryu. She sees that he doesnt answer her and so she turns to go towards the castle. She caught up with Asher and walked beside him. She offered to take the suitcase he was holding.

Asher chuckled slightly and said, "I assure you, mon ami, I am perfectly capable of carrying a few trunks without any difficulty." Layali and Belle Morte walk ahead, conversing in lowered voices. After a long walk that involved many twists, turns, moving staircases, and secret passageways, Layali leads the way into a suite of rooms that starcrossed is too lazy to describe right now. Asher and the pomme de sang carry the trunks into the room and deposit them, then Layali leaves Belle Morte to 'rest after her tedious journey'. Belle Morte retires to her room, the pomme de sang following meekly, fear filling her expression. Asher, on the other hand, leaves the hidden suite and stands in the hallway a moment, considering where to go - Belle Morte and Layali had given him permission to explore the castle, then hunt when full dark fell.

"I'm sorry, I thought you wouldn't want to do the labor of a slave....Can I talk to you outside?" Sage doesnt look at him but walks outside into the moonlight and sits down.

"But of course," Asher says, following her outside silently. Finally he leans against the wall, straightening the cuffs on his outdated yet somehow fashionable traditional French outfit. "The floor is yours, mon esclave."
[Translation: "mon esclave" = "my slave"]

Sage then asked "Can you do me a favor?" Sage still doesnt look at him, and she has her back towards him.

"That would depend upon the favor," Asher replies, raising an eyebrow.

Sage looked over in his direction and said "I know this is going to sound really pathetic, but please have some leaniance with me. I will do anything, just dont harm Ryu. I dont care if that means I have to go so low in the dirt like i was, just as long as you or anyone else in the Kiss doesnt harm him. And if he ever does anything that deserves a beating....I will take his place." Sage looks over in his direction but doesnt meet his face.

Asher smirks and says, "Tout a un prix, mon esclave. How much are you willing to pay to protect votre loup?"
[Translation: "votre loup" = "your wolf" "tout a un prix" = "everything has a price"]

Sage shivers and looks into his eyes and says "What do you want? Please......" Sage tires to look away but she finds she cant. She then stutters "A..a....ashh...er. What c-can I do to keep him safe?" Sage was shivering and shaking a little from fright.

"By now you must know the traditional exchange for protection among vampires.. A Blood Debt," Asher says, stepping away from the wall slowly and deliberately.

Sage finally is ble to lower her eyes and says "Yes. I guess so.... how long will I have to serve as your pomme de sang?" Sage lowers her head and then says "Your cruel. I always knew you had a 'thing' for me, and you have to use the most harsh thing against me.....I'm just glad you dont have a whip." Sage turns her head away from him and waits for him to reach her.

Logan just follows Layali around obediently since Islandsurfer has nothing better for him to do.
Back to Autumn, Chaosti, and Elena-land.... Autumn rubs her head for a second before answering Chaosti. "He wanted help... He... wasn't evil.."

"I think that during the duration of our visit would suffice," Asher said casually. "Of course, how long we remain here is up to our mistress and Layali Meskhenet. And if Belle Morte herself should decide that you are to be punished.. there is not much I can do about it. Even I dare not defy the Beautiful Death."
Chaosti and Elena's eyes widen and Chaosti says, "He's not evil? But.. how does that even work? We saw... Or did we see?"
[aaand brb, my sister's over, so we're going to cut and eat the cake now, lol]

Autumn sighs, leaning against the wall, sliding down to sit on the floor. "I don't know... It almost seems like he's faking the evil thing..."

Sage manages to stand and turns her body to face him. "Yes, but please inform Belle of my offer, to be a sacrifice on Ryu's behalf and that i will do whatever it takes for his saftey. He doesnt know how many follow Belle and he has no idea, even though he could probably manage on his own...I just want to save him some trouble. But please, spare me the humiliation of punishing me in front of him." Sage takes a step forward.

"I will tell her. I can guarantee nothing, though, only that I will try. What Belle Morte wants, Belle Morte gets in the end." With that, he steps forward to close the gap between them, takes a handful of her hair and uses it to - none too gently - move her head to the side for easier access. His lips recede back from his teeth, exposing long, sharp fangs. Then he strikes, quick as a snake, sinking his fangs into her neck.
Chaosti kneels down on the ground next to her, a frown on his face. "Faking it?" Elena repeats. "I suppose it could make sense.." Chaosti says slowly, musingly.

Sage doesnt scream (since she's been through this too many of times) But her legs give out so that he has to hold her up. She lets out a gutteral moan and grabs onto his shoulders so hard her nails dig into his flesh. She whispers Ryu's name and then her whole body gives out.

Asher wraps one arm around Sage's waist to hold her up, the other hand still holding her head to the side and his eyes having bled to a full pitch-black, even the whites of his eyes. He then begins to drink, his throat working convulsively at regular intervals, the anticoagulant in his saliva keeping the blood from clotting. The malicious bastard that he is, he drains her of much more blood than he needs. When he finally lifts his head from her neck - removing his fangs from her flesh a bit harshly, leaving a bit more of a mark than the simple, diminutive twin holes - his teeth and lips are stained crimson, and a little rivulet of blood runs out of the corner of his mouth. He licks this up, then wipes his mouth almost delicately, a smirk on his face. He releases Sage, not caring if she's unable to stand in her weakened state, and says, "Merci, mon esclave."
