a gift

roune descends into a thick grouping of trees and quickly gets rid of his wings. he landed on the edge of a park within metal city, hoping to find an apple tree like ember had been wanting, there aren't any groves around here he knows about but there's a chance that he can find one here. he looks around as he leans against a tree, seeing plenty of humans, mainly children but a decent amount of adults as well "where am i going to find her that tree?"

Ember lands just behind him, hiding her own wings as well.

roune runs his eyes over the trees in the park, trying to find any kind of apple tree for his love. his eyes brighten as he sees a tree with red fruits dangling from it's branches "there's one"
just the he hears the soft flapp of wings and turns around to see ember landing "damn, i thought i'd have a little more time before you got here beautiful"

Ember offers him a smile. "Sorry" She looks at the people and licks her lips "Mmm, I am hungry though... I think I'll go choose my prey while you can finish whatever it is that had you hoping that you had more time before i showed up, alright?" As she speaks, she's scanning the crowd with a hungry look.

roune grins back at her "if you find something yummy save alittle for me please"
he kisses her cheek then runs off, heading for the apple tree

Ember nods, moving into the crowd. She frowns slightly when an unfamilar hand touches her and when she turns to find who did it, she's pushed down. She lands hard on her butt, and sits there while growing angry. When someone offers her a hand she stands and smiles at the male. "Hello there... wanna ditch this place and have some fun?" When she's slapped, Ember grins widely and happily

roune reaches the apple tree, but it's far too big for him to take. instead he looks around, a little closeby and finds just what he was hoping for, a young apple tree sproated from the seeds of some forgotten apple, almost 8 feet tall and thin enough for a demon to carry

Breaking this one shall be fun. Ember grinned as she chuckled derisively.
"I don't know what you take me for lady, but I have-"
"A life? A family? A purpose? Any of those what you were going to say? That doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that I an hungry, and you look tasty. Not as tasty as my love, but you'll do. Now come along like a good little Human and I'll leave that daughter of yours alone." The last bit was pure guesswork, but it was apparently correct.
"You'll leave my little Alice and her older sister alone?"
Surprise flitted across Ember's face for a moment, then she nodded. "I'll even make sure Alice has a good home..." Inari... She killed her own sister, I wonder what daddy dearest would do if I told him that? Without looking back, Ember began walking off, already knowing that the man would follow. Even if she hadn't tempted him to do it.

roune sets about digging up the earth around the young apple tree, using his bear hands to tear up great amounts of dirt and small stones with each swipe. once he's dug up enough of the dirt to allow him to remove the tree while keeping enough of it's root system to stay alive, he grasps it by the base with one hand and the other goes into the tangles of roots right under it, then lifts the whole tree up easily, dislodging a few small apples
he looks around for ember and spies her walking off in the distance, a man just a little behind her, causing him to raise an eyebrow

Ember pins the man to a wall as soon as they reach an alleyway, pressing her body close to his and using Luxuria, causing him to moan in pleasure just from her touch. "You know something... your little Alice is my slave now, and she killed her own sister..." Ember's own pleasure comes from the look of shock on his face.
"You monster!" He spat in her face and Ember ceased using Luxuria.
"...Monster? I'll show you a monster!" Ember snapped, glaring.

roune follows lust and her male comapnion at a discreet distance, quite a ways since he is carrying a small apple tree slung over his shoulder like a baseball bat. he watches with a tinge of jealousy as she presses against the man, he can feel the light brush of her luxuria even from where he stands, the familiar feeling like a warm and exciting breeze carrying scents of cinnamon, vanilla, and strawberries. for him at least, he suspects it's different for everyone. while he envies the man's closeness to ember he doesn't envy him at all when he sees him spit on her and hears the anger in her voice

Monster, that was the one insult she'd never been able to stand. It brought out the worst in her... With a low growl, Ember's right hand found a spot on his neck and she leaned in close to whisper in his ear. "Know this... I am no simple demoness. Take pride in the fact that I grant you a swift death." She fastened her teeth on his ear and pulled, tugging until she felt the skin tear. Then, she bit into his neck, biting deep enough to draw blood. Wrapping it up, she burns him alive.

roune moves closer to the alley ember is in and uses both his body and the tree to provide some cover, making it hard for anyone to see her. he knew as soon as he spit at her that the man was going to die, he's actually suprised she went so easy on him
as he feels the man dieing he calls back to her without looking "what next my love?"

"We find some real prey." She's still angry, that's pretty obvious.

roune licks his lips and turns to smile at her "i've had some ideas i think would be fun"

Ember slowly grins at him and nods. "Alright, lead the way." She spots the tree and tries to tell what kind it is.

roune moves to her, takes her hand, and tugs her forward, leaving the tree where it is so she moves between him and the tree while facing roune "no peeking love, you'll get to see when we're done playin-"
he gets cut off at a shout "there she is, that women that attacked my husband"
roune turns with a glare and sees a women leading 3 police officers towards them. if that's the wife of the man ember just killed he must not of blocked the view well enough, or she just made an assumption when ember led the man off

Ember pouts pleadingly at him, then glares coldly at the humans. "Humans... such moronic fools..." She mutters and raises her voice. "Such an ugly man your hubby was... why would I bother him? I've just been here with my man." She kisses roune's cheek softly, her Luxuria once again quite active. She prowls forward, a soft grin curving her lips. As she moves, the ashes of the man she'd just burned reformed into his shape again, though her 'ash zombie' stuck to the dark.

roune smiles mockingly at the women and police as ember kisses his cheek, he can feel her ability to inspire lust getting stronger, even after all this time her luxuria still has a very powerful effect on him, there is no tolerence to it. while it still inspires just as much if not more lust in him as it always has, roune can still think straight and control himself, but he grins as he watches the two male police officers, the one is obviously undressing ember with his eyes and the other is licking his lips and clenching his hands
roune lets out a small chuckle as he notices the female cop shifting strangely from leg toleg, making her thighs rub together as she chews her bottom lip, apparently she's being quite effected by ember

Ember notices the cops. Humans... they only think with their reproductive systems... She suppressed a chuckle, then gestured at the 'ash zombie' in the shadows. "Look, there's your husband right there. Accusing me for no reason at all. Shame on you. Officers, isn't there a penalty for submitting a false claim?" Ember smiles softly at the officers, still moving forward. Her gait has shifted more to something like a cat stalking it's prey, though she's pretty sure that the officers haven't noticed the change. With one of the males undressing her with his eyes, she's positive that all he's imagining is her naked or close to it. The other male she thinks her Luxuria had a stronger effect on then normal. The female's reaction intrigues her for a moment, then she decides to play a little with the girl cop. Ember walks closer, reaching to trail her right hand along the girl's cheek. "Something wrong?" She asks in a soft, innocent sounding voice. She's starving, and being this close to the cops put her in perfect range to drag them elsewhere and devour them. Her hunger comes through in her voice when she speaks again. "Why don't we take this somewhere else? There's a crowd gathering now, and if the lady gets angry it may become a fight. We don't want civillian casulties now do we?" Her hunger could be mistaken for desire, though roune likely heard it for what it was and not anything else.

roune gives the woman a patronizing smile as he gestures towards ember's recreation of the man she just burned, it's been a while since he's seen her use that ability "see, there's no reason for you to have bothered these nice officers ma'am"
he gives ember a small smile "do you think we should take this discussion elsewhere and give these two time to talk about what's happened?" roune says it to the cops and ember, but he doubts anyone else would notice the very subtle meaning he adds to the word discussion

Ember nods at roune, returning his smile.

roune looks to the cops, quite sure they'd follow ember anywhere "please follow me, we'll go somewhere...private" he has no doubts about what ideas his word choice would spark in their minds while under the effect of ember's luxuria
he leads them to the secluded patch of trees where he and ember first landed, someplace quite private, too many trees and a decent distance serperate them other people for any sight and most sounds to reach anyone

Ember follows roune, she grasping the female cop by the hand. As they walk away the woman goes to her 'husband's' side. With a thought, Ember ordered the ash zombie to suffocate her, then lose it's form. When they reach the area where roune's leading them, Ember lets go of the girl's hand and turns to face roune.

roune turns to ember and grins with mallicious glee "have fun with them love"
