Marlene looked over at him. "At least we can turn on the lights. It's like a tomb in here." She flicked on the few lights that were found in the house. "Geesh, someone likes the darkness."

Antoine hisses, "No… turn them off…" he mutters. Ren jumps off his back and trots over to Marlene and rubs his head against her leg. "Meow." He purrs.

"You okay? What's wrong with light?" Marlene asks him, reaching down to pet Ren.

"Headache…" he grumbles, burying his face further into his pillow. Ren purrs and rubs against her leg affectionately, his electric blue eyes glancing up at her.

"I see." Marlene turned off the lights. "Quite a few ailments you've got."

"Nhg… yeah…" he mutters, popping some tylenol in his mouth and dry swallowing. "He likes you." He points his head at his cat. "Ren normally doesn't like people."

"Funny thing, I only ever owned a couple doves once. Cats would eat doves." Marlene replied, stating the obvious. She looked at a clock. "Well, I got here late. It's almost eleven. I should sleep." She climbed into the other bed, not bothering to change clothes. "'Night."

Antoine was up early the next morning making breakfast, humming softly as he does so. He flips an egg and checks on the bacon as he does so. Ren curls around his legs, waiting for him to drop some food or to give him some tuna.

The light of morning awoke Marlene with a yawn and a stretch. She looked at the time on the wall clock: 6:00. She had time before her classes started - she took evening classes. Getting out of bed, she looked around the dorm. Antione didn't seem to be around. Good. She walked to the bathroom and slipped on her angel dress, letting her wings unfold from the slits in the dress. It felt good to finally let it out after a night of confinement.
Opening the window, she looked around the grassy stretch. No one was there. Opening it wider, she squeezed herself out the window behind her, shutting it tight.

Lol, oki//

Antoine was already out and about, watching the city. His black cloak swirls around him as his scythe glints in the sun. He chuckles darkly. "When the angel's away, the reaper shall play." he purrs, pulling his hood up.

(oooh nice.)
A feeling tugged in Marlene's chest. Someone was in need. It came from the St. Vincent women's hospital. Perking her head up and wasting no time, she was soon flying through the Indiana skies.
(It's in Indiana now)

Antoine feels a slight tug. Interesting. A Dying soul. He chuckles and leaps high into the sky, his eyes searching. He passes over a child, and comes to a hospital. Antoine scales the walls easily, making it to the room in which the dying woman lay. Ah, hospitals were his second favorite place, other than battle fields.

Marlene is already standing by the woman's bed. Ah, she's giving birth! It'd be terrible if she were to die just as she is giving life! Surrounding the poor, moaning woman with her wings, Marlene places her stomach on the woman's chest and begins to sing. Of course, the woman can't see her as herself - rather, a human-like glow.

The woman was old, holding a young childs hand. The small child was crying and sniffling. He rolls his eyes. Children. Pesky things they were. He places a hand on the womans forehead. She lived a fair and just life. "Rest." He mutters to her. The monitor goes silent.

I look up to see the grim reaper clambering in the window. I scowl at him and enfold the birthing woman with my wings. If there is any life he should not take, it is a mother and her child's.

Same hospital, different women//

They don't realize that they're in the same place yet.//
