Wolf quietly follows Tiger back into the house. With a soft sigh Wolf falls into the first couch he reaches. Wolf huffs as Tiger drops onto him heavily after he sits. Tiger then sighs as he leans back and swings his legs onto Lions lap when the large male sits down next to them. With a glare, Lion puts his arms over Tigers legs pushing down on Tigers knees as Lion leans forward purposefully. Tiger laughs and lets his arms drop back behind the him and over the chair armrest. With a deliberate move of his legs, Tiger throws Lion off balance and starts a battle of wills over Tigers legs
"Well then, you lot certainly don't need the demons help against your little renegade party." Sylick says impassively as Blood passes last through the door. Bloods eyes cut slyly to the side with an impish grin spreading across his lips. The effect is terrifying to Wolf showing the rarely seen calculating and clear minded side of his lord. A barely noticeable shiver runs through each guards' body at the look in Lord Bloods' eyes. Tiger and Lion in typical feline fashion ignore the growing tension in the room and continue on fighting over Tigers' positioning .
"It would seem I chose the team for tonight's mission well." Blood says in way of answer, before turning his attention to Lion, and Tiger, "Would you two stop messing around?" the two freeze like kids caught red-handed in the cookie jar, and turn to look at Blood with startled expressions.
Wolf throws his head back and barks out a laugh at his mates' predicament. Looking over at Lion, Wolfs' laughter doubles at the look on the large males face. The two quickly recover throwing a disdainful and irritated glare at Wolf.
"What? You where fighting, not me." Wolf says in between fits of laughter. At the indigent glares from the two feline controllers.
"Now that that is over." Blood says to no one in particular the insanity of his power slowly creeping back over the mighty warrior, his attention suddenly flips back to the demon king that was standing near his throne again with his wife pressed lightly against his side holding his hand, the other hand rested on his shoulder. "I believe that you have something to discus with me?"
"Yes, I even sent you that nice little letter too and you sent your guard dogs to investigate. How rude of you." Sylick says lightly and calmly though clearly uneasy with the sudden flip of attention Blood normally had in conversations. Blood advances on the slighter demon king, his head tilted to the side. With a conspirators glance over to Lion, Wolf leans closer to Tigers side as Lion shifts to nonchalantly lean against Wolfs' shoulder to join in on the fun, even tilting his head to rest against the top of Wolfs shoulder.
"Sylick seems ill at ease around Blood. He under estimated the lords Gahumati induced insanity." Wolf whispers so that only the two felines could hear him. With light snickers, Tiger and Lion cast their eyes over to the powerful and now trapped demon king, who was starting to look to the Laminati guard in clear panic as Blood advanced on him.
"Well, he did just watch the man cleave through at lest twenty fellow Laminati with out batting an eye at the mayhem surrounding him." Lion whispers gleefully, throwing a patronizing smile to the demon king behind Bloods back. Suddenly Blood freezes in mid-step and his spin slams to ramrod straight.
"uh oh, It's the misses, and she's not happy." Tiger says in a singsong whisper, as Blood whirls to face the door and drops to his knees with his head bowed.
"she must really be pissed off" Wolf whispers with a sympathetic flinch. Blood waits patiently not a single muscle on the warrior king moves
"Sintanass! how could you leave me like that?" An irritated voice floats icily through the air. Blood raises his head slowly and with an unrepentant grin gives a nonchalant shrug to the door. With a sudden flurry of motion, Blood shoves off of the floor diving to the side with a quick roll as a whip cracks through the door frame hitting the floor where Blood had seconds before been. With lightening fast reflexes, Blood catches hold of the whip, wrapping it quickly around his hand and forearm he pulls the whip toward him wrapping as he goes.
"I'll make it up to you, shall we play a game?" Blood asks as he slowly starts pulling in more whip.
"No! Unhand me, you ass! You are unworthy!" The voice of Flesh cuts through the room with a playful tone, as she's dragged in to the room laughing by her whip. She holds on until she's just out of Bloods' reach, then she suddenly drops the whip. Caught off guard by the sudden release of resistance, Blood looses his balance for a split second. He falls backward for a moment before he catches him self with his arms pined under and behind him. Now bent half backward Blood is penned for a moment, before he can right himself Flesh dashes forward managing to position herself over Blood using her body to pen him in the awkward position. She looks down at him with a playful, but cruel smile playing on her lips
"Now's the part where I'm suppose to apologize for leaving you with an unstable, pregnant blood wielder and her mate. Right?" Blood asks with the same unrepentant smile on his lips. He stares up at Flesh with a clear challenge but before the two could continue on Lights voice stops them.
"Well, this is just great. You two will be the death of me!" Lights agitated voice drifts through the door. She walks in with a disdainful, and irritated glare at the two monarchs, she briskly drifts past them, Shadow following her progress as she moves through the room. Her features quickly shifting in the brilliant smile she used on emissaries from the human governments.
"Well there goes our perfect politician." Wolf mutters sullenly, disappointed at the unsatisfying end to the monarchs' fight. A snicker escapes the two felines still who where still leaned in to gossip. They start talking again ignoring the bickering of Light, Flesh, and Blood.
"Well at lest we'll probably see the continuation at the manor later tonight." Tiger musses with slight anticipation and hope at the thought.
"I don't get why they fight so much," Lion says slightly baffled while watching the monarchs argue with light. Wolf and Tiger stared dumbfounded at Lion.
"Lion." Wolf starts kindly before Tiger interrupts him.
"You and Jackal are the worst about fighting." Tiger says bluntly. Lion seems taken aback fore a second and is about to respond before Blood silences them.
"Would you three shut up." Blood snaps at them. Wolf glances up and gives Blood a look of innocence. With a sigh Blood continues on "Only your mate believes in your innocence, my dear Wolf."
"But Blood, he is innocent." Tiger playfully defends Wolf snickering at the now sullen look on him. Wolf rolls his eyes, with a firm push sends Tiger tumbling onto the floor. "That was uncalled for!" Tiger says indignantly while glaring up at Wolf
"Now whose the fighting couple." Mutters Lion who now has his arms crossed in front of his chest. Tiger stands up and turns to Sylic who's trying to quietly leave with out drawing attention to him self. Tiger walks up to him drawing attention to him again.
"Wolf, Tiger, you'll handle communications with the demons. If they'll have us as allies." Blood says then turns to Flesh offering her his hand. She takes it with a smile
"Hey demon king, me and Wolf will handle communications with you so don't worry about our king for now. if you have any questions heres my number call whenever you'd like." Tiger says with a eerie smile Sylic coughs lightly
"Uh.. sure ill give you a call tomorrow night I guess." Salic says while shifting subtlety from foot to foot seemingly nervous about being the center of the guards attention again.
"Great I hope the three of you work well together. Now lets go help the nice lady form earlier with her little problem." Blood says his eyes glazing over slowly as he twirls Flesh around once then starts leading her in a waltz toward the door.
