He smiles softly, turning back to her, "Hey..." he starts slowly, slipping his arms around her, holding her close. "I'm sorry, it's not easy for me, I've been so alone, for so long, it's hard to adjust. I may always seem popular and friendly with everyone, but I've never really had any friends in my life." he says with a shrug, letting her go, but keeping her hand in his leading her down the street, turning into the small entrance to the garden, the moon high overhead as he lead her through the twists and turns of the small garden. The roses were in full bloom, punctured intermittenly with an array of other flowers, a kaleidoscop of colors greeting them. He leads her silently through the maze, falling into his unsual sullen silence that only affected him when he was truly at peace, where someone could get a glimps of the real him.
He leads her to the centre of the garden, into a small maze, directly into the centre, to the small pagoda, gently releasing her hand as he moved to the banister, leaning on it as he stared up at the sky, silent, the slight breeze waving his black hair in front of his clouded crimson eyes. He always was pensive here, where he was usually alone, reflecting on his past, his eons alone on the earth, with no one to stand with him. He had only ever had himself, and it never hit him harder than it did here. He thought about sitting on the small bench, but he just wanted to stand for now, his mind drifting off across space, his clouded eyes watching the moon, once again hidden away, buried beneath the sea of memories of emotions, oblivious to the world once more.

"Oh, Its so pretty here!" Scarlet leaned over as she walked, smelling the sweet roses. The was walk pleasant, the night crisp but warm. The path seemed so confusing but Linx knew where he was going, or he acted like he did. The flowers were bathed in moonlight, seeming to bring thier attracting bright colors out even more. Scarlet now understood why butterflies and humming birds loved these silly girly things. Just one thing bothered her right now. Linx seemed so distant, so quiet. It was apparently something that must bother him often, for it was like he had done this so many times over.
When at the centre of the garden Scarlet kept the silence, not wanting to disturb him. The world seemed to be on his shoulders, like everyones problems and more was pushing him lower and lower into the dirt. At this moment Scarlet didnt know him he could get any lower, and she didnt like to see him this way. Such a handsome being shouldnt be so sad and lonely. Scarlet placed her hand on his and stared up at the moon as he was doing. She then looked to him, kissed his cheek and back to the moon. Her head told her to ask what was wrong, her heart said no, it was something he needed to resolve on his own.

Linx slips an arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him, dropping his head, shutting his eyes as he leans his head against hers. "Sorry for being so quiet, I'm just used to being alone. It's hard sometimes." he says with a shrug, shifting so she had her back to his chest, leaning against her lightly, moving both of his arms to wrap around her upper chest, just beneath her neck, holding her against him, as he leans his head against hers, his eyes still shut. "Sorry for seeming so distant and all." he says softly, "It's not often that I actually have someone with me when I'm here." he says quietly. squeezing her lightly.
He doubted he'd ever have someone again though, he didn't usually come here alone, and he doubted any relationship between them would work out. She seemed to prefer to spend her time in the darkness of the underworld, and he was too world weary to really hold down anything stable in his life. He was beginning to feel tired all over, perhaps he'd return to his room and sleep for a bit. He was beginning to feel more and more tired lately, and he needed more rest than he usually would for some reason. He'd figure it out later though, for now, he just wanted to relax, and enjoy his time with his new friend, and what seemed to be temporary girlfriend. He still doubted it would last, but he was determined to enjoy as much of it as he could, before it came crashing down around him.

"I dont mind, sometimes you just need time to think and i understand that perfectly." Scarlet leaned back into his warm arms, her head resting back against his with closed eyes as well. "This was a really nice idea Linx, I like it here. I think im begining to get used to the smell.... Would you mind if i sayed longer...? If not i can go home....." Scarlet had grown quite fond of Linx and wasnt up for going home anytime soon. She would be alone there, and when would be the next time that she saw him? Probably a long time.
In the back of her mind she was more than willing to give up her home in the underworld to stay with him. She would get used to the smell, she would follow him. Linx was so sweet to her, and he needed a friend around at least. She was happy to be friend and companion to a handsome person like him. Her hands reached up and touched his arms that were wound around her shoulders. "Linx, I enjoy this time being with you... I'd be happy to stay with you if you want me that is..." She said softly, leaning back into his arms.

Linx smiles softly, "It's fine if you want to stay, I don't mind, it is a public place afterall." he says with a smile, turning his head lay it on her shoulder, feeling relaxed and tired again. He'd pretty much just woken up, so he wasn't sure why he felt tired already again. He kisses the back of her neck, before turning his head again, laying it on her shoulder, resting. She continues speaking, and he listens of course, before smiling lightly. "If you wish to stay, that's fine, I don't really own a home anywhere, and I can't exactly give you the ability to move back and forth between my little pocket plane and earth." he says softly, kissing her neck once more, releasing her as he steps away, moving onto the bench, leaning back on it, closing his eyes, tilting his head to the sky. He felt better, being able to relax again, to not worry about anything, to just be in silence and think. It was one of the few pleasures he found in this life, and he enjoyed every minute of it that he could.
He yawned as he stretched out, still sitting up. "If you want to stay with me though Scarlet, I can create a house I suppose, somewhere for us to reside." he says with a shrug, opening his eyes, watching her and smiling softly. He found her beautiful of course, and enjoyed watching her move, being graceful to his eyes. "I don't know where you'd like to live though, so it could be difficult." he says with a light laugh, smiling at her. She really was beautiful to him, and he'd be more than happy to let her stay with him. It was odd for him, he'd never really thought about a lasting relationship with anyone, well, almost anyone really, but he felt that he wanted one with her. Either as friends, or lovers, it didn't matter to him, just to have someone around him, to be able to talk to, to not worry about losing. It had been a very long time since he'd felt the aches and pain of loneliness and emptiness that he felt now, and being with her just seemed to make him feel better.

"Linx, I've decided that I'll stay as long as you want me to. I have nothing to go home to but a little shack of a house. Of course, if i am to stay with you i will need to return to my home and gather some things...." She said softly. Her eyes closed as she really thought about what she was doing. Scarlet cared for Linx, and really didnt want to leave him alone, nor did she want to be alone. Her mother had wanted him to watch her as well, which was something she would fulfill if she stayed with him. "I'm willing to follow you anywhere Linx, really, i am." Her eyes looked back at him with a little sparkle in them. "And i think i'm beginging to get used to earth, so you wont have to transport us back and forth..." Linx's arms left her and he moved to the bench. Scarlet followed shortly after him, sitting down beside him. Her hand found his as she turned it palm up, tracing the lines in it and along his fingers with a quiet expression.
"Like i said, we dont have to live in any one place. I'll follow you all over if i have to. I mean it." Scarlet said with certanty in her voice. "I dont want to be lonely anymore, and most of all...." Her eyes raised ot his face, the emerald almost glowing in the moonlight. "I dont want you lonely, i dont like you like this Linx, you're so sad." She said softly then leaned in and kissed his lips. It was a sweet yet loving kiss, showing him that she was really telling the truth. When her lips broke away she couldnt help but kiss again, her heart fluttering. "Sorry..." she giggled and blushed a little, looking off that the large bushes of roses around them.

He smiles lightly as she talks about following him. "Hey, you don't need to follow me anywhere, you can just think of me and I'll be there. I'm sorta sporadic, so I may just up and leave, and I've never had a companion, so I may just as soon forget about you, no offense." he says with a smile. He smiles again as she takes his hand, slowly opening up to him more and more. He leans back in the bench, tilting his head back, closing his eyes. It felt good to relax, it had really been a long time since he'd relaxed. He enjoyed these quiet nights of course, even more so with a beautiful companion at his side. He had to admit travelling with her would be fun, but he didn't want to drag her away from everything she knew and was comfrotable with to start travelling with someone she'd just met.
When she leans over and kisses him, he didn't resist her, and when she broke away the seocnd time he smile, reaching over to her, pulling her into his lap, holding her against him, smiling at her, "And you'll never have to be lonely again, and I'm never said, just...pensive. I'm quite old you know, and I end up thinking back milliongs of years, trying to figure out, why I locked away all my memories, and most of my power." he says with a smile at her, reaching a hand up to cup one cheek. He tilts her face in softly, kissing her again, holding his lips against hers, smiling lightly as he pulled away. "And don't ever be sorry, you have nothing to be sorry for." he says with another light smile at her, kissing her again deeply, pouring the affection he felt for her into it. He didn't love her, not yet anyways, but he was growing quickly attached to her, and he would love to have her with him, to visit her whenever she wished him too.

She gave him a narrowed smile, one that showed that his statement wasnt appriated, but she took it in good nature. "Thanks Linx, forget about me." The little hard line of a smile broke open to show a grin, and her pretty white teeth. "but, i dont think you can forget about me that easily, I am quite... i dont know.... annoying? Loud? Clingy? Either way, you definately wont forget im there. its hard to do that when you're someone like me." Scarlet laughed softly, the sound touching the roses, seeming to make them open fully and shine in the moonlight. It was so pretty here, and what she really wanted was a perfect, deep red rose. Since black almost never existed Scarlet never got one, no matter how bad she wanted one. Not to mention it would die soon within the time she got it. Her eyes looked to Linx, tempted to ask for one that was undying, but would rather not bother him with it. She would crush it, or hurt it on accident some how.
"I know you're old Linx, and i know you've seen a lot of things in your life time, but none of them are your fault. I dont know why you let it weigh you down. If not for you, i wouldnt be here." She said sweetly, a smile gracing her lips. Scarlet blushed a little when she was placed into his lap, her eyes looking at him adoringly. "Linx,---" She was cut off by another kiss, which seemed to wipe her mind clean. Scarlet blinked when it was over, then sighed. "Nevermind." She laughed softly. "Well, what do you want to do...?" Scarlet asked, gazing around at the beautiful scene.

He smiles at her, "I dunno, are you on option?" he asks with a laugh, before quickly assuring her, "I'm kidding, I'm kidding, don't hurt me, alright?" he says with another smile and laugh, gently leaning her against him. "I don't care about your traits, you seem pretty good to me, and I'd be sure not to forget you. And transporting us between here and my little pocket plane isn't that hard, just creating it was. It's like walking through a door, one only I can see." he says with a laugh, gently kissing her shoulder. "We can do whatever you'd like beautiful, I'm up for anything." he said with a smile, hugging her against him. He opens his eyes again, smiling at her, his fingers gently tracing circles around on her cheeks, smiling lightly to himself.
"You know, you really are beautiful, and I hope that maybe we can become closer than we are now. Whether as lovers or as friends." he says with a soft smile, kissing her lips again, pulling away after another moment, leaving his face close to hers, his eyes wandering across her face, loving every inch of it. "And you'd have been created without me. You're like the valkyeries, another branch of them though, so there's a good chance you'd turn out like this at some point in time, maybe not now, maybe earlier or later, but you would." he says with a smiel, kissing the tip of her nose. He gently begins rubbing her back with his hand, smiling softly, leaning her head on his shoulder, relaxing even more. "You know, to be honest, I haven't felt this at peace before, I really love being with you." he says softly, smiling lightly.

Scarlet rolled her eyes, knowing that the perverted comment that he just spewed was going to come anyways. She was a tob more comfortable with it this time as well. "its okay, I wont burn you to a crisp." She laughed gently, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Well, i hope you wouldnt forget me, it would break my poor little black demon heart..." Scarlet pulled out a full fledged pout that was incredibly convincing. It then faded as she smooched his cheek quickly. "Well, I dont think i mind earth as much, But it will take time to fully accept it as a place for me to be. I still like cool and dark, with the occasional flicker of a fire and the smell of a burning soul." Her cheeks darkened a little, her lips streaching to a smile. She was very beautiful, excpecially in the moonlight. It made her eyes and skin glimmer ever so slightly. Her deep, endless emerald jewels looked to his face as his fingers touched her cheek. Slowly they closed, and she sighed, her sweet breath floating on the wind. It felt nice to have an affectionate touch. "I'd just... like to be here with you..... to look at the roses.... maybe find something i've been looking for..."
"Thank you Linx.. that means a lot coming from someone as yourself...." Scarlet returned his kiss, her fingertips brushing his jaw line. Blood rose up and pooled in her cheeks, making them a darker pink as his eyes looked her over. Her heart fluttered to think that someone so amazing, so handsome, could even think she was beautiful. "But, i wouldnt want to come about by someone else, i like how i turned out...." She laughed a little, a sweet smile gracing her lips as his lips pecked her nose. Her crimson haired head rested on his shoulder, her eyes staring off at the beautiful sky. "I enjoy my time with you as well Linx, its nice to have someone to talk to..." Her eyes closed gently, but only for a moment before they opened her eyes again and began to scan the garded for even one speck of black.

He smiles at her again, holding her tightly, relaxing as they sat together in silence. After a few moments, he opens his eyes, smiling at her, noting her roving eyes. "What are you looking for? A way to escape my evil clutches?" he asked with a laugh, smiling at her again. "And did I mention that you look even more beautiful when you blush?" he asks with another laugh, kissing her throat softly, leaning his head on her shoulder, enjoying their relationship. Nothing definitive, just a casual friendship with a few benefits. Perhaps they'd become something more serious, he'd enjoy being closer to her afterall, and then again, perhaps not. He wasn't her type, and he knew it. He was too loud, brazen, and arrogant for any woman to truly fall in love with him.
He sighs as the thought crosses his mind, thinking that his only redeeming quality was the ability to create anything he wished at a moments ntoice. Small stuff anyways, big stuff came with alot more effort. He kisses her neck again softly, smiling at her once more, "So, what do you want to do for the rest of the night? I'm sure you don't want to sit here all night with the likes of me." he says with a laugh, "Trust me, I'm more trouble than I'm worth."He says with a roguish grin, looking more devilish than actual devils could at times. But of course, he was a playful devil, more so than any mean spirited devil, he was the happy go lucky hellraiser in it for the fun, though he was most commonly described as a 'right little hellion!'

"To escape you...? Why would i want to do that Linx? I enjoy being with you! You make me happy. What person in thier right mind would want to hide or escape from a handsome man such as yourself?" Scarlet asked, her eyes questioning and probing at him in a way. She really contempaited on weather she should tell Linx her want of a black petaled rose, she she didnt want him to go through the trouble of making one for her. "Well, i was hoping to find a speck of black amoungst the sea of reds, pinks, whites, yellows and oranges. There are so many beautiful colors of roses here... But nothing that i want...." Scarlet sighed, finally giving into her desire. "I want a beautiful, full, black rose.... But what would be the point of finding it when it would die within minutes of my cold touch...?" Her eyes looked down and stopped thier searching with pain. The feeling of warm lips to her throat made her give a low, rumbling groan. "mmnh.." she smiled softly, her eyes closing gently.
"Little do you know Linx, I'm willing to sit anywhere, as long as im with the likes of you." She grinned, quite dazzlingly really, at his gentle face. "You prove to be quite interesting and i really want to be with you, no matter what trouble you are." Her soft laugh was sweet, and warm. "Dont think of yourself in a negative way. You are... well... a lot of things really.... and some others that i could find too embarassing to say." Scarlet was really beginning to like Linx, it was quite a crush it seemed she had going on.

He laughs lightly, smiling at her, "That all? I thought it'd be something difficult." he says cockily, raising his hand with a flourish, a tall black rose appearing in his fingers, held out in front of her. "An everlasting rose. As dark and beautiful as the woman for whom it was created." he says with a soft smile, doubting she'd object to his choice of words. "It'll last till the end of eternity, take it at whatever meaning you will." he says with a smile. Roses were given as a sign of love by many, but he hardly loved her. True, he enjoyed her company, and true, he'd like to continue to have a relationship with her, but love? Not quite, he'd only just met her afterall.
He gives a shrug as well, turning his head airily, "Besides, I really am quite the trouble maker. I just felt like behaving. More often than not, I can be found wherever conflict is." he says with a smile at her, his eyes alight with amusement. He couldn't deny that little detail, he'd been emroiled in almost every war since men started fighting each other! He enjoyed himself too, fighting had become one of his best abilities, and favourite past times. Just on occasions, he preffered a relaxing evening, like the night she'd met him, all of two or three hours ago on this world. He gives her sides a small squeeze, kissing her neck again, leaving his head laying against her shoulder. "And I'm quite content to have so beautiful a woman willing to be with me, whatever the reason." he says with a half smile, squeezing her lightly.

Scarlet sighed, looking at him with a little pout. "I dont want to bother you with such trivial things. You know that." None the less Scarlet was happy to watch the beautiful rose with onyx petals appear in his hand. After taking it Her cheeks flushed at his comment. He was much to sweet to her. Scarlet leaned in and kissed his lips softly, her eyes glittering with happiness. "Thank you very much, its beautiful." She said softly, letting her pale fingers touch the silky petals. It was nice to have something living that wouldnt die when she touched it. Her head rested on Linx's shoulder, her eyes closing. She breathed in the sweet scent of his skin as her fingers trailed idly over the stem, playing along the thorns. The soft skin snagged, then tore as Scarlet gasped at the sharp prick. "Ouch..." She said softly, lifting her finger and looking at the blood droplet on her left index finger. Scarlet lifted it to her lips and sucked on it, removing the blood for the most part. She then sighed. "Darn."
"Havent you noticed i like to make trouble too? I scare the crap out of Lucifer, set souls on fire, sneak up on angels.... Well i guess its not too bad. But i do like looking for trouble." She giggled at herself softly. He seemed to trail off into his thoughts and rested his head on her shoulder. She was silent for those few minutes and kissed the top of my head. "My reasons are quite obvious. Its nice to have company, you're fun to be around, and not to mention you are filling the promise that you made my mother. Even if you hadnt..... i'd like to hang around." Scarlet smiled sweetly, gazing up to the sky with expectant eyes. For some reason, she was compelled to do so, like she would see her mother in the stars. "Do you want to go somewhere? I would love to show you my home if you want to go there..........." Scarlet just thought she would suggest something to do. Sitting here all night would eventually get boring.

He smiles softly as she nicks herself on the thorn, taking her injured hand in his own after she cleaned away the blood. He squeezes gently, and he could feel their hands warm, and as he pulled his away, her skin had healed, as if it had never been injured in the first place. He smiles at her, "It wouldn't do for your perfect skin to be marred with a scar, and if I can help with a small contribution of my talents, then I'd gladly help you." he says with a smile at her, kissing her neck, before rolling and cracking his neck. He smiles at her again, winking lightly, before speaking, "I'm only fun to be around cause you just met me, it gets stale having to dig through the battlefields to find me, or so I've been told." he says with a laugh, thinking back on his long life. "Many people I've worked for, or with, told me one of these days I was going to get killed that way!" he said with another laugh. "Perhaps one day I wizen up, then again.." he drifts off thoughtfully, pursing his lips and looking thoughtful, before breaking out in a smile, "...It's no fun that way!" he says with a devilish smile.
He shrugs when she mentions the underworld, before grinning more fiendishly than the oldest devil, "Sure, it could turn out to be quite fun, especially if they mistake me for a human." he says with a smile, thinking of the challenge demons had presented him in the past, wondering how easy it would be to slay them now. "But I promise I won't go looking for a fight, I'd hate to ruin our good evening." he says with a smile at her, and a reassuring wink. He meant it, and he'd keep his word. He wouldn't go hunt something down for a fight, but if it came to him, he'd gladly take it. He might not want to fight humans, but a demon was more than a welcome challenge to him, harder to kill, more enduring and all of course. He stands, holding her aloft in his arms, smiling at her, before gently lowering her to her feet, holding her close, "Alright, the lead is yours gorgeous, take me away." he says with a devilish grin, one clearly expressing how much he relished the thoughts of adventure once more!
