Cast of Characters: Thomas Blake, Saeko




Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake stands in front of the Griffin mansion in Queens. There's a slight drizzle and the leather hood of his duster is unzipped and covering his head. Water streaks his face. A worn leather knapsack is on his back. "Griffin, Aunt Lil... This was... home for a while. I don't feel any attachment to it now. Just a house... but... " He turns to walk away, wonders where he'll go tonight... He turns back to look at the house again. Then he fishes in his pocket for keys and enters.

He stands in the living room and looks around. Not his living room.

Saeko has posed:
A shift, a tilt, something different. It had been a little while since she'd been to the Griffin, Satana's priorities had shifted and the drama of the divine battles had pushed Saeko out of the city for a while. Yet she was back, prayers to be answered and blessings to be offered. Still, enough of her magic lingered there thanks to her lessons with Tynan that she felt the familier presence.

A soft rush of wind and the yukata-clad kitsune was there, perched leaning in the doorway behind him.

Thomas Blake has posed:
And like that, there is a knife at her throat. The past few days have not been kind to Thomas. This is obvious from his even scruffier than usual appearance and the glint in his green eyes. Hs control and reflexes are not any less. The blade barely touches the divine being. He headtilts, looking at her, Then he takes a deep breath which triggers some association. The knife is sheathed and hidden in a blur. Saeko is now the recipient of a hug. Thomas says softly, "I'm sorry. I thought I'd never see you again. I'm on the run."

Saeko has posed:
It wouldn't be the first time that Saeko had been stabbed or sliced. She'd even 'died' in the past, but without the right means it was generally less than permanent. She barely even blinks, but then again who wouldn't expect a Tenko to be able to play off the threat of death calmly? Then she was hugged and she actually exhaled a breath, a little chuckle from her lips before her hand reached up to pat lightly against his head. "You have been gone for a while by human standards Thomas..."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake gives a shuddering sigh. "I don't think I'm really back yet... Foxy." Yes. She was Foxy to him. Also Saeko. She always smelled wonderful. He remembered her in the short kimono and... much less at time. He struggles with a particular memory and then asks, "I gave you a parasol... a painted parasol. Something about a kingdom for your courting? Are we married? Because... I've been a bad boy if we are." After a moment he releases her.

Saeko has posed:
The squeeze of her arms, the press of her form, the light press of her tails against him before she pushes back lightly, a frown on her lips as she lifts a hand to his cheek.

"You are...damaged?" she speaks, a tilt of her head. It was rather backwards for time to pass and a mortal to forget her after all.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake nods. "I don't have any memory of the last two weeks. My memories are vague and choppy for the last two years. I don't know how they did it:magic, psionics or whatever, or even who they are so far. I plant to find out, after I get my memories back. I think I threw them off. People were following me." He puts his hand under Saeko's chin. "We were close... very close?"

Saeko has posed:
"We were close," Saeko nods, a little shift as she exhales and touches a hand to his temple. "To me, you have only been gone for moments after all." She bites her lip, those pointed ears giving a little twitch. "Will you be returning here?"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake shakes his head. "It doesn't seem right to be here anymore. I just came for a few things. You still live here?" Turning to a wall panel, he hesitates and then runs his finger along a wall panel, then another. The second panel swings out to reveal a duffel bag. He pulls it out and shoulders it and then pushes the panel closed. "I think I need this bag." He turns back to her and looks down at her with a smile, not sure where this will lead. Unconsciously his hand brushes hers.

Saeko has posed:
A little offer of her hand, soft palm and gentle touch as her form shifts, her attire reforms and sure enough, her more human guise comes into being. A little smile on her lips, she takes his hand and touches her forehead to his. "I think that I could offer some assistance, at least for a little while."
