Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods slowly* Doyle de'Marceau: *quickly ties up his hair to give a better vantage point* Doyle de'Marceau: I want you to make a mark upon it, similar to the one on the front Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *looks him over with much restraint, remaining silent* Doyle de'Marceau: Three slashes, with a bit of space in between each one Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I wish you wouldn't do this, Doyle..

Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *inhales deeply, shuddering slightly at the attempt* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *holds the dagger in her left hand, raising her empty one up towards the name* Doyle de'Marceau: *places his hands upon the stone and grips it tightly* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *seems hesitant as her hand presses flatly upon his back, over the name* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *closes her eyes and lowers her head, murmuring lowly* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Forgive me Father.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *and as the words spoken, fingers curl to bite deeply into flesh and rake down at an* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *angle, only three tips, evenly spaced* Doyle de'Marceau: *winces with pain under each cut and inhales deeply, blinking rapidly, when she finishes* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *groans lowly at the aching pain as she steps forward to him, head lifting to steal a* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *lick at one of the wounds as blood surfaces* Doyle de'Marceau: Trouble you for a bandage.. or twenty? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *reaches into her pack to pull out several bandages and pressing them firmly to the* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *wounds to stop the bleeding* Doyle de'Marceau: Thank you.. Doyle de'Marceau: *sighs* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *groans lowly again from the movement as she steps back away from him again* Doyle de'Marceau: If I'm keeping you from something of importance, don't let me do so Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Normally I wouldn't go.. but it is best for now.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I will be gone for an unknown amount of time.. Doyle de'Marceau: You should get yourself cleaned up... I could smell the blood before you even whispered Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shakes her head* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *looks from him to the water below then back and lowers her gaze* Doyle de'Marceau: *picks up his coat and puts it back on* Doyle de'Marceau: At least now we bleed together Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *brings her fingers up to her lips to clean* Doyle de'Marceau: Where are you hurt?

Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *the large deep puncture into her chest if it wasn't at a particular angle would have* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *pierced through her heart* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods slowly* Doyle de'Marceau: *extends the tips of his fingers to very lightly touch the puncture, sliding them over* Doyle de'Marceau: *some of the length* Doyle de'Marceau: *retracts his noticeably more bloody hands and touches his own wound again* Doyle de'Marceau: You are a part of me now, as I am you Doyle de'Marceau: Whatever time or distance seperates us, now we will always be together Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *closed her eyes as she already knew what he was doing, inhaling slowly* Doyle de'Marceau: And I want you to know that I have never, nor will I ever, done this with Doyle de'Marceau: any other person Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *refrains from what she wants to do and instead reaches for his hand with the* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *remaining blood upon his fingertips and brings them to her lips to clean as well* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Nor have I or will I.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *eyes lifted to him and releases his hand* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I must go.. before he finds me.. Doyle de'Marceau: To say what I feel now would be unnecessary...
