Gods and Mortals. {o}

Thankfully he didn't have to wear clothes, Abbadon began to groom through his fur. Pulling out any evidence of the garden as he paused to watch her. Maybe he should slip into the tub with her, just for the sake of smelling clean. He shrugged his shoulders, going back to fixing himself up with his tongue as he remained quiet.

She picked out a sky blue dress that had a white ribbon to go around the waist. Pulling it out she hanged it on the door before churning on the water. Minutes later she slipped into the warm tub, washing her body and hair.

Abbadon gave his pelt one more lick, staring at a mirror to study his mane. Similar to hair, it was quite the normal appearance. He adjusted it with his paw, a growl coming from his lips as the room felt hot from the tub.

She glanced at him "Fixing your do?" She said rinsing off her hair. She had finished scrubbing herself clean along with cleaning her hair. So she rinsed off and grabbed a towel. Wrapping it around her body while draining the dirty bath water. She took the blow dryer and churned it on, blowing it at his face before her hair. She than curled it a bit before giving it a small brush. Slipping on the dress and applying oerfume and all the other necessities. "How do I look?" She said with a awkward smile. She leaned against the door frame while her leg rose to touch the otherside. Giving a funny wink before laughing.

With one more touch, he gave himself a nod. Craning his head as he listened to the splashing of water, a clear sign as he turned his head to her. His face growing hot as his fur bristled to her appearance, the male nodded his head as he was unable to speak.

She stopped the pose and walked over to him "Thanks." She said giving him a kiss and tapping his nose with her finger. Arising from the tile she brushed off the dress "You look handsome, like always. " she said with another funng smile.

"You're welcome," Abbadon rumbled as he paused to glance at the mirror again. His paws kneading into the soft carpet as he soon softly paced. "And thank you." He responded as he shook his head. Everything would work tonight, it had too.

She smiled looking at the plants "Well you ready to head over?" She called. The flower she insoected, when she touched the petal it folded up. Cocking her head she sat xown on the bed awaiting his answer.

"I suppose so," Abbadon glanced at her. Still a bit nervous as he made his way over towards the door, the palace was silent. Not a word uttered or murmured to another as he guided her towards the dining hall. The faint sound of music filling his ears and the murmuring of his surperiors rang through his ears. He glanced back behind him, making his way towards the large door. This would not be silent at all, Abbadon reached up on his hind legs to push the knob down. Pressing the door open as he soon entered the room quietly. A few glances were brought upon him before he made his way to a seat, an empty one next to him for Chenoa.

The plate was empty, he stared at it until his father spoke. "You're late." And Abbadon in response silently apologized, keeping his eyes on his plate was his stomach filled with butterflies.

She followed beside him. Walking in she felt awkward, following Abbadon in utter silence. Sitting down in the chair. Her green eyes not searching his father of brother. She didn't want to think about that, her own stomach already felt like rising into her throat. Instead she looked down at her lap. The blue dress seemed darker in the dim light. Her eyes blinked as she heard the voice, yes she knew they were late but when he said that she wanted to sock his nose. She didnt know why she hated how his father talked to him, but she wanted to stick her foot in his mouth and punch him. A faint smile appearing before disappearing a moment later.

Of course, the nagging went on but Abbadon remained quiet. Putting on a good show was more important than bickering with his father. His yellow eyes turned over towards his elder brother, who was just eating away without a care in the world. "We sent troops out to reclaim the village." His father spoke to his younger son as the prince nodded his head. "Next week they will all be slaughtered and new humans will be brought in."

"That's good," Alexios mumbled through his food as murmurs of agreement went through the crowd. Abbadon nodded his head, watching food arrive to him and Chenoa as he stared at it.

Slaughtered.. She thought. If she objected she may be put on the list so she said nothing. Though her stomach twisted at Alexios' voice. Swallowing hard she took a few bites of the good food, losing her appetite and staring at the plate. She didnt want to think about him and instead enjoy the dinner. Though she didnt want to look up and instead crossed to look at Abbadon and back at her plate. She didnt know where anyone was sitting so she just hoped Alexios be far.

It was quite awkward for him, the tension between everyone in here. It had took some time for all the lords to agree to this, and others that simply lived in here. Not to mention eating without silverware was quite difficult. Abbadon finally took a bite out of some red meat from the hunt. Listening to another canine ramble on about the weather and how her crops were ruined. He glanced at Alexios, who was at the front of it all. "I'll be retiring soon." The king spoke up as he gestured a paw to Alexios. "We've been discussing it, and plans on the alliance."

Abbadon let out another nod. "Congratulations." He murmured quietly as he went back to eating, pretending to be focused on the food more than his brother becoming King.

Great.. This piece of crap is gonna be king? That will be fun.. She thought using a napkin to wipe off her hands after eating bits of the food. She heard Abbadon and dint really care ingh is voice was a bit blunt. Continuing to remain in her silence knowing she didn't have much. She was in a room full of gods and her? A human. A human who would have been on the slaughter list like the others if it wasnt for her love and Abbadons to bud.

His heart was pounding, but luckily everyone was to busy to notice that he reeked of fear. He gave the meat one more bite, before growing bored. He was surprised Chenoa was not attempting to make an impression on her race. Maybe someone else would prod on her loyalties to the entire idea. "Human," Airiban rasped out as the current King stared at Chenoa. "You are from my son's village, are you not? As his servant?" His claw tapped on the table before he glanced to his son. Arching a brow at Abbadon who remained silent, he would not answer for her.

She looked up at the king known as Airban. "Yes, your majesty." She said politely. Her own heart began racing as she calmed herself down. Trying to avert her eyes from Alexios who was next to Airban. Sitting up in her seat as she crossed her legs.

Airiban smiled softly, "An obedient one you have there!" He spoke with a laugh as he soon calmed himself down. "So my dear human, what is is like representing the human race?" He asked with a sly grin, it was unsure if he wanted her to break under pressure or just see her true colors. Alexios had finally focused on her, soon turning his eyes to Abbadon.

At the notion of his brother staring at him, Abbadon rose his head and glared at him sharply. The two remained silent, keeping eye contact as their father spoke with Chenoa.

She knew to be honest, well at least to such a rank. Swallowing hard she felt her hands shake,grabbing them until they were in a ball. "It's.. Difficult since at the moment some are so rebellious." She said not sure of what to say. Drawing in some air and another swallow as she could feel the eyes of others. Her heart going quicker. Stop! Just relax.. If you get to scared your nose will start bleeding and who knoes what else. Relax.. She thought trying to calm.

"A human that shares our views," Airiban responded as his claw stopped clicking on his plate, removing it back onto the chair as he glanced around. "If only more were like you, we wouldn't be treating humans like animals." He responded sharply before he turned his attention to his meal. "Now tell me, girl, do you believe in magic?"

Abbadon's gaze soon broke from Alexios' as he went back to eating. He didn't want to draw attention to himself, but the brutish prince kept his gaze on his younger sibling.

She exhaled,relief flooding her chest. Giving a soft nod before hearing his question. Magic.. Of course. Though what does he mean? Oh well. She thought before saying "Yes.." She said knoeing right now felt like magic. It didnt churn out as bad.. Her fear was slowly cooling off ugh it was still there. Not daring to bat an eye at Alexios who sat next to Airiban.

"I have... wolves, working on something. Nothing a human should know," Airiban let out a growl as he glanced towards Alexios. His tail twitched as he patted the soft cushion below him. Abbadon let out a cough as he soon glanced at Chenoa. He just wanted this to end, with his brother saying no words and just staring at him... it was making him crack.

Her eyes widened Like what..? she thought. Knowing not to get nosy she simply nodded "I see." she said looking over at Alexios with soothing eyes. She could see he felt.. Uncomfortable. Giving him the cool look she would give her father when upset Your gonna be okay.. Just relax. She wanted to say, but simply looked away, eyes falling on Alexios. She bit down hard before looking back at Airiban.

Abbadon had quickly finished the portion of meat, his ears pinning back as he remained silent. His father was prodding her a lot. And before he hadn't cared about her, maybe it was because of her acting. Airiban paused and let out a yawn. "You do." He pointed his muzzle towards Alexios, staring at him. Alexios' head soon broke contact with his brother as a lord began to speak with him. The brute offered him a hearty laugh, and praise before he returned to glancing at his brother.

Her eyes looked away "Well.. No. I just see that it's a secret." She said giving a light shrug. If anything it could be something to destroy her kind? Who knew.. She didnt question it and leaned back a bit in her chair. Her stomach nagging a bit at her as she picked up a small piece of meat and ate it to satisfy her stomach for now. Wiping her hands once more, clasping them together under the table since the shook still.

Airiban turned his head back to her with a huff. Only to raise his chin slightly before going back to discussing something with his son and another canine of high power. 

Abbadon's tail twitched, soon glancing at Chenoa as he pressed his muzzle against her. "It's time we go," Abbadon whispered as he stared at the partially empty plates.
