“He uh…” he looked over at Arien for a second before continuing. “He was looking for Elliot. And he told us to kill him if we ever saw him again.”
“He uh…” he looked over at Arien for a second before continuing. “He was looking for Elliot. And he told us to kill him if we ever saw him again.”
Marcos fell quiet with a nod.
"I… I see." He looked to Arien for a moment. The vampire hated, hated Elliot, but was it enough to kill him? He wasn't sure…
Rafael wasn’t sure either. He knew Arien was beyond upset with Elliot but…they’d still been friends for such a long time. And Rafael didn’t want Arien to have to make that choice of killing him or not.
Arien let out a small breath.
"If you ever find him, I… can help, if need be," Marcos offered.
“Thank you..we appreciate the offer.” He said, not wanting to say anything else in case Arien wasn’t on board with that idea.
"Please," Arien said softly. Marcos nodded, moving to gently pat the vampire's shoulder. Arien… wasn't doing too good with this.
Rafael would make sure to keep a close eye on Arien for the next few days, it really seemed like he wasn’t doing well, and Rafael wanted to make sure he wouldn’t do anything stupid.
That would be a good idea. Arien tucked his head against Rafael's neck as Marcos moved to stand, letting out a breath.
"I should be going."
Rafael nodded again. “Thank you Marcos.” He would stand to walk the god to the door but it seemed he was needed here with Arien.
"You're welcome. Please, stay safe." Marcos offered a small smile, not bothering to go to the door. He disappeared in a moment, Arien and Rafael left alone.
Rafael wrapped his arms around Arien, seeking immediately to comfort the other. “It’s okay..I’ve got you..” he whispered protectively.
Arien nodded some, tucking himself closer to Rafael's side.
"I… I just… I d-don't know what to think about this anymore," he said softly, eyes closing.
“I know dear, this must be really hard on you.” Rafael knew they wouldn’t be letting anyone else in the house in the near future, that’s for certain. They still needed to check for how much damage Astral had done, and Rafael was honestly dreading that.
Arien moved to have his arms more securely around Rafael. His eyes were still closed, the vampire doing his best to stay calm.
"I… I don't know why he even came here…"
“He probably just wanted some people to come bother.” He reassured. “Hopefully he won’t be coming back anymore.”
"Hopefully…" Arien let out a breath, finally able to pull back some. "Should we… should we go to see just what all he did to our home?"
“Do you just want me to go look?” He asked. He didn’t know how bad it was, but if everything really was wrecked, he didn’t think Arien was in a good mental space to see that.
"Please…" Arien rested his head on his knees, eyes closing a moment before opening. "I… I should come with you-"
“No, no, it’s okay.” He reassured, already up on his feet. He gently ran a hand through his lover’s hair. “I’ll be right back.”
Arien leaned into Rafael's hand some, nodding.
"Okay… I love you, dear," he said softly.
“I love you too.” He said, smiling at him quickly before going to check on the damage. He didn’t want to do this either, but he knew that out of the two of them, he was the best one to do this right now. He sighed softly as he made his way to the other rooms.
The house was… a mess. Almost everything had been moved in Astral's search for Elliot. The god obviously hadn't cared. At least nothing was broken. It could be fixed easily, with Arien's strength.
While the state of disarray of the house was upsetting, he was glad nothing seemed to be broken, especially nothing of great value. That was certainly a relief. He continued to walk around, putting back whatever he could on his own.
The house was easy to pick up, for the most part, aside from furniture. Everything seemed to be relatively okay. Arien would be happy to learn about that.
Rafael was glad that he could clean up as much as he did, it made him feel a lot better as well honestly. After a few more minutes of straightening things up, he went back to the living room.
