Time: early morning
Location: AmKelosh, Nick's room
Note: "Angel turning Amazon has been voided. The controler didn't want the character tied down to AmKelosh." ~ Kehle

€ Angelica Croxx she had stayed at his bedside all night. After the ritual of the marking was placed on her. she was tired and in a lot of pain, but Nick was her first thought. she watched his sleep. she was surprised he spelt for so long...Her right arm curled acros sthe edge of the bed, she sat upon the floor on his right side. Her green eyes staring at him as he slept.. Her hand lowered to face to push a few strands away ...

Nick Corwin is sleeping good due to the recent lose of some of his blood. A great deal of it has regenerated back, but he's still getting less oxygen to his brain than he should. His bedding is all fur lined. He lays on fur and it is fur that touches him from above as well. His blanket is a dark blue velvent with fur underside. Nick sleeps curled up on his side, his right arm under his pillow. One of the other Amazons was releived of Nick watch and allowed to go back to Kayos. That way Nick still only has five watching him. Cerebus has been allowed to return and lays on a rug near Angel. Nick is still deprived of his weapons and cool tech toys however.

€ Angelica Croxx she watched him sleep. Not wishing to wake him. He lookedpeaceful. the most peaceful she had ever seen him look. She looked at him, her eyes drifted to Cerebus. She liked this dog. It was different but it was loyal. she smiled. Looking back at Nick..."I wish i could help you more..." she sighed and leaned her chin against the bed, upon her forearm.

Nick Corwin opens his eyes slowly and smiles at Angel. He doesn't seem to go trough that brief confused period most do when waking. He wakes up and is fully alert of all around him. If asked at this very instant he could most likely tell Angel where the other Amazons are without looking and what they are doing. He's very good at picking sounds out from each other. He's really glad Angel is there. He'd been hoping for one of sisters, but Angel is better. She's his friend without any obligations to Kayos above that friendship. All his sisters are loyal to Kayos first, than Nick. "Hey."

€ Angelica Croxx looking at him she smiled back..."afternoon...." She brought her head back so not to be all in his face. She did not show any sign or worry for him. She knew things had been taken care off. Her eyes drifted down to his arms..."yeah.." she looked at him...

Nick Corwin is a little warm under there with all that fur, so he pulls his left arm out from under the covers and pulls the covers down a little. This should make it evident he's not wearing a shirt, but he thinks nothing of that. He used to spend a lot of free time on the beach, he's used to not wearing shirts around others. He doesn't think to hide the vampire marks on his arm. He's practicly forgotten they were there. At least for now anyway. He's still smiling and would like to go find something to do, but he's not allowed out of the palace right now.

€ Angelica Croxx she looked to him...."sleepy head..." she extended her hand to mess his hair up, but stopped, her gaze dropped to the markings on his arms. she remained calm about it. she thought to keep it to herself and ask him later what they were. But he could just make up a story then and lie. nick lie to her... he wouldn't..."What's this?" she sounded casual when she asked, she knew what it was. She was a hunter for no reason without cause. Vampire bites... Who had been feeding off him...? Her hand moved to grip his arm before her pulled it free and hide it. Her gaze serious now..."Nick?"

Nick Corwin let's his smile fade to a slight frown. He does start to pull his arm away again, but stops when she takes ahold of him. He can't lie to her about it, she knows vamps too well. Oh well it's just one bite, not like when he was covered by them while captured by the Jar'Ha. He's already giving her a disaproving look, as if expecting her to rush off to try and fight Iatha. Iatha won't hesitate to kill Angel and there won't be anything Nick could do about it. "It's luck. Normaly when I get punished, it leaves larger marks." One of the Amazons winces and then looks out the window or adverts her gaze in some way. Angel doesn't know it, but Kayos' punishments can get pretty severe.

€ Angelica Croxx says, Nick..." there is a large amount of emotion in her voice. Her eyes softened to the verge of tears, she bowed her head, knowing she could not do anything about it now.. If it were vampires. let them come when she is on watch. Her form tensed... She held his arm for a moment longer before releasing him..."I see." Was all that she said. The look he gave her, was like the looks her brothers gave her. Disappproving, and such. She was more controled now.. She looked back at him..."i understand."

Nick Corwin frowns a little wondering why she isn't putting up more of a fight. Angel has always seemed a little reckless to him. Part of that he dismisses as her age, the other part he thought was a curse. Maybe his sister really did lift the curse then. She's no longer compeled to rush off into battle. He thinks that's a good thing. She always reminded him of Petter with that trait, and she's seen what he did to Petter over it. "You don't want to be around when I've really screwed up." He thinks back on when he was in that lightening chamber. Lark was there and enjoying herself, but Angel is different. Angel would cry and be upset for him. That is why he will believe Angel is his friend, but Lark isn't. Angel acts like a friend.

€ Angelica Croxx looking at him, she smiled..."i will be here for as long as you have need for me...Nick..." her words were true. she hide the fact of what she had donw. Her eyes bright, conveyed nothing of last nights acts. She looked at him, leaning against the bed, she took his hand in her's smiling, she place dit to her cheek..."I will never let you face this alone...why do you think i was worried about her, why I came here..."

Nick Corwin smiles, but seems to not know what to think of her actions. He's still not used to being touched or showing any displays of affection. Well, other than putting his head in his mother or sister's laps and letting them hug him. He shrugs a little and smiles apologeticly for not thinking about her reasons for coming here. "I just thought you got bored with the how dull your home had become since the war?" He doesn't knnow of the troubles there, how could he? He just thinks the war is over and everything has been rebuilt. He'd warn her to return and defend her home against the Ra'Mir now, but they suddently stopped being a threat.

€ Angelica Croxx says, I was needed he.." he had not changed all that much. Her hand curled his hand back to his side. His lack of emotions bothered her a bit. But never alot. It was how he was. He would show it when he wanted to... "I have grown alot since last we saw one another. the castle was attached, My uncle saw to slaughter the help and such. Sal is well and remaining there. He managed not to be found by my uncle. torvald he has moved to greener pastuer. Me...i am just here...' she smiled and pushe dher form up. she headed towards the window. Lookign outside, the day was beautiful. the sun was fading now, as it was coming to be later in the day.. she placed her hand to the edge of the window frame, looking outside. looking out the window. this was going to be home for a while was it. Her green eyes drifted across the land before her. Buildings and such streghting for miles. She sighed and reste dher head against the edge of the wall. Her hands wrapped against her form, she whinced as her hand brushed up against the marking, it was still fresh, and hurt alot.

Nick Corwin has never cared for Angel's family. He still doesn't. It doesn't matter to him what happened at her home. He feels detached from that situation. So he speaks the truth. He always speaks the truth. Nick very rarely ever sees a reason to lie. He might dodge a line of questioning or not answer at all, but there's never a good reason to just lie outright. "At any rate, I'm glad you are here. I need someone in my corner. Everyone seems to have misunderstood why I left. They're all mad at me." Of course she doesn't know he left. How could she? Unless they asked her about his whereabouts when he first left. No, he made them think he headed for space. He wouldn't be dumb enough to run to one of his few friends. Besides that all of Hana'Var seems a little cursed to him. Maybe it's just a cultural differeance?

€ Angelica Croxx she sighed, she knew how he felt. At times she admired his steel will, never answering to anyone he di dnot wish. She smiled...Turning to face him. She learned a bit from him, she was care she could do this little for him. she leaned back. Resting against her hands..."you going to get up today? I want you to show me about Amkelosh." she thought this would be okay. being what she is now to nick. Kayos would not care to let him wander a bit under her watch. he could trust her. she moved quickly over to his side. Crouching down to her knees before him at his bedside. she cross the floor, ready to pull him out of his bed..."come on... Nick..." she pretended that the mark did not hurt, though it was apparent on her face for a brief moment...

Nick Corwin gives a little half shrug then rolls over onto his back. He puts his hands up under his head and stars at the colored title pattern on the ceiling. This isn't the room he's used to. He's been moved here so that Kayos could keep an eye on him. His hair is in a braid, but then he commonly does that when he sleeps so it won't tangle. "I could show you around this palace, but not all of the grounds. They won't let me out. They're afraid I'll run off again." He glances over at her as she comes and kneels down beside him. He only gives her a weak apologetic smile. Her being there does make him feel better, but his basic mood is still one of giving up. What's the use anymore?

€ Angelica Croxx says, No... I spoke with kayos... As long as I am with you.. You may wander the city...that and a few of the other amazon guards that is." she was light hearted when she told him. she moved toward the wardrode.. openning it up she went through what clothing had been brought for him..."come on!!" she pulled out a pair of pants and shirt for him...tossing them to the bed next to him..."Get a move on...!" she pulled him to his feet, Grabbing his shirt and sticking it over his head, she was helping him get dressed, she did nto even take his pJ bottoms off she pulled him up and toward the door.."come on time's a wasting..."

Nick Corwin does not move from the position he is now in. He remains on his back with his hands behind his head and watches her go through his things to find him something to wear. It's the typical tech style clothing she'd be used to seeing him in. Same type of stuff Petter wore. "I don't know. . . " He sounds unsure. "I was told I can't leave this palace?" He looks toward the other Amazons in the room, but they don't seem to know if the order has changed yet or not either. Nick's mind is already racing through all the possible ways he could leave AmKelosh if allowed out onto the grounds. He could show Angel where they store the mechas. He might have to shoot his way out, but he could. Or show her the teleportation equipment. (voids her out of turn posting)
