And so it's decided. The moment Fiyero gets everything settled with his canine companion inside and everything else needed grabbed and handled, she takes Dar'khol's hand and without a single word, Klaus is teleporting the three of them to the area where he senses Seofon and Aurelius the strongest.

He had picked up on it before. When they were at Fiyero's place. The smell of blood, of burning flesh and burning blood. Here, where they've teleported to, the scent is much stronger. Almost as bad as when Dar'khol and he had made it to Fiyero's tortured resting point.

He doesn't have to see what's in that massive crater to know that Aurelius is in it. Seofon had done more than NUMBERS on him. Aurelius had certainly got what was coming to him. He's....frozen in place for just that moment. It's fear that he feels. However, when he sees Fiyero running in that direction---In the direction of Seofon, and without even thinking for another second, Klaus is following.

he almost didn't catch much of what Fiyero said, but his mind focused eventually on the task at hand. He shows that he's acknowledged what Fiyero says and makes his way toward the crater. His heart PUMPS against his chest upon seeing his partner Aurelius there, unmoving. Sliding down, he's eventually right by Aurelius on his knees.

he can't die yet.

He holds back any tears that threaten to spill for Aurelius. He swallows deeply and looks up at Dar'khol. He sniffs and lowers his head to look back at Aurelius.

He cannot die yet.

And with that single thought repeating in his head, he's bringing Aurelius back to life.

"don't you guys have anything better to do? trial's over. i did the best i could." honestly... as if they'd expected their dolt of a leader to get off with a light warning. desperate for cash or not, you can't just go around robbing people in broad daylight, for crying out loud! paid him up front expecting a miracle, seems like.

"'best ya could'!? landin' our boss behind bars isn't what we paid for, ya hack!" one of the burlier lugs up front snarls with a curl of his hammy fists, "if we woulda known, we wouldn'ta spent a single dust on your sorry ass!"

oh, so a reduced sentence means nothing? what happened to beggars can't be choosers?

yuri sighs, irritation festering; a glare peeks through dark bangs. "how about you turn around and spend what's left of it on his bail, then?" (also reduced, might he add), "i won't even charge you for the legal advice. aren't i charitable?"

"why, you little--" the big guy charges and...!

BLAM!! briefcase, meet face!

before another snarky quip can leave his snarky lips, though, an unseen assailant leaps in from behind, hooks beneath his arms, and lifts him into the air! "wh-- hey!" yuri struggles, kicking his legs to no avail.

"urgh--! let go, damn it!!"

fiyero has gotten skilled at giving apologies, the past few weeks. at least he thinks it's been weeks— almost two, perhaps, if he really wanted to count. he doesn't. passed time has been a blur of comfort that can feel agonizing and pain that is entirely exhaustive. it seems he's unable to decide between one or the other, rather enduring an overlap that he still thinks is his own fault, in parts.

   though, this apology in particular seems easier than most of the others. with dar'khol further removed from fiyero, and with fiyero's actions fairly easily described as wrongful. he asks willem if he can tag along one night, his partner on his way to skullrender to pick up a shift, and snatches the wine bottle he got after zevran's recommendation as they make their way there.

   the club is loud. usually, fiyero would be used to noise, but he hasn't been frequenting the outdoors as much as he probably should have. he finds dar'khol further in the back, after willem points him out, gives fiyero a kiss on the cheek, and scurries off. he's almost hesitant to let him go, but this really isn't a conversation they should be having with anybody else around.

   he approaches as casually as possible, never trying to hide away his presence. the clack of his heels loud against the floor, his tail languidly wagging behind him in a show of caution. once he realizes dar'khol also caught sight of him, he softly waves the wine bottle in his hand, starts talking when he's close enough.

   ' hi. dar'khol. ' it's strange to say the name after he'd called him demon so many times, if only in his mind. he looks ... different. thankfully so. gods, when was the last time fiyero felt out of place? he might still be kicked out for that, not being allowed in this space. isn't sure, tries to gauge dar'khol's expression with a tilted head.

   ' i bring wine and apologies, if you want them. ' an easy offer. fiyero wouldn't begrudge him for not wanting to speak to the tiefling, though he's hopeful the opposite is the case. ' it's good stuff, i'm told. my crow was loath to part with it when i acquired it. '

Dar'khol: Why is there a shopping cart in my backyard? Lilli: You said your shoes were killing you but you didn’t want to take them off because it’d make your feet dirty. So I agreed to push you home. Dar'khol: [choking back tears] You are my best fucking friend

Lilli: I don’t want to hear it, Dar. You took Yuri on a date to walmart one time. Dar'khol: Target. Lilli: Target. You have standards.

Lilli, on the phone: Hey, what gets out Kool Aid stains? Dar'khol, whispering: Tell them the opposite color Kool Aid doesn’t work, we tried.

Hawks: The whole place is rigged with death traps, so we should probably stay out here. Lucia, quietly: Dar and Lilli ran in as soon as you said death traps. Hawks: FOR THE LOVE OF-

"Just the guy I was looking for!" And, without warning! He decked him right in the gut too! "What was the point in asking me that yesterday?!" He almost got in trouble for that!

He's gone through several of her creations to get to the source, and here she is, standing among all her fallen monsters and a few civilians who had been caught in all of this.

Black tentacle-like tendrils push the bodies away and outstretch, becoming longer. They form in shapes that can only be described as Scorpion pinchers and green eyes remain locked on the man before her.

"I won't hold back just because you are Yuri's."

"Well, damn. Looks like you've found me before I found you." There's a playful curve of lips and a near-excitable glint behind sunglasses. Of COURSE, they're excited to meet the one person who's captured Yuri's heart! They're happy for them!

"M'sure Yuri's probably talked about me...OOOOR maybe he hasn't! Either way, I'll go ahead and intro myself, yeah? My name's Indigo, but a lot of my friends call me whatever. Indy, Dee-Dee, whatever you feel comfortable with~."

WHAT on ISOLA happened here? Klaus had been pulled into this specific area because he had felt Aurelius' aura. He had picked up the feeling of death in the air. It clung like a lifeline. So close, very near. What he expected to see was in fact a dead body, but instead on the ground, he's standing witness to feathers burning slowly. Once white wings are now charred, slowly disintegrating. Klaus steps forward until he's closer to the burning wings. It isn't just one pair. There were a total of five, but none of them were gold.

"Aurelius!" Klaus calls out. These were not his wings and these bones scattered and discarded like nothingness was not his. Who did these belong to? he had been here, but someone else had as well.

...Speaking of...

Klaus can feel that he isn't alone here as well. The stench of blood and perhaps the aura of an angel has also beckoned for a demon to come. Or at least when Klaus turned to face them, he expected a demon and instead, it's a near-familiar face.

"Dar'khol?"

spirale's colorless makeover be damned, yuri could make it to his partner's home blindfolded. not that he'd ever try, but the point stands.

while there is a reason behind the visit, stumbling on dar tending to his chocobo has him a tad distracted (the man sporting a fitting red-orange, stark against the white beach). saves him from knocking, which is a perk, but the cozy scene leaves the swordsman with more unfiltered fuzz than he'd typically know what to do with. luckily, dar clues in on his presence before the feeling can be tread very far.

"took you long enough," he greets with a chuckle, an easy -- frankly, unabashed -- smile left behind... one that turns sheepish as chirps set off within his vest.

"one sec-- hey, knock it off! what'd i say about digging your nails into me?" it's a chide that only makes sense once he unveils... a bird! raggedy lil' guy, too-- big head, patchy feathers (magenta, thanks to yuri), and grumpy, to top it all of.

"soo, funny coincidence," he starts, giving bibidi a nod, "guess who's stuck with this thing thanks to aury being a cold-hearted creep again? figured i could use some tips, get a good look at your hue while i'm at it... win-win, right? for me, anyway."

" Heyyyyyyyy Dar~~ Long time no see... "

Eiden awkwardly fingerguns Dar and then without further ado brings out some saffron chocolate chip buns.

" Hahahaa.. So I might have an apology to make so please take these off me first... "

"HEY! THAT'S MIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!!" Poor kid can't seem to get a break! Earlier in the morning as he was getting ready to step out, he had stepped on a wet spot in the bathroom. Then as he was outside, he had tripped on his own foot.

Now...NOW, as he was minding his business snacking away on his steamed bun, a damned bird came swooping in and STOLE IT! How dare!
