"Glad to hear you view it that way too..." Fnistris murmured in response to the Ace subject, running his broken off bone rings delicately against Osias's ear, not to puncture, but to scratch lightly.
Then he was torn away...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finistris tore around for a few seconds, looking everywhere...most of the "room" they had set up for Morpheus was gone too, vestiges of it could still be seen... But it was fading, slowly being forgotten...
Why!?
A voice called his name and he whipped around, seeing Osias he flung himself at the Rat, taking him by the shoulders, unsure of whether to yell of to kiss him.
He went with the latter, pressing himself to the Rat and moving his mouth over the muzzle as best he could, letting his rings dig into the Rat's side, the pulling away.
"Where is he? Where is our son? What's happened?"
He looked frantic, almost angry, but there was a hint of fear in the wide blue eyes.
"I'm sorry I've been gone, it wasn't something I could...what happened?"
The sentence started off venemous...but trailed off almost pathetically high pitched...where was his son? His little Queen, half of his Clan...what had happened?

Finistris was certainly not himself today, and Osias worried about that.... generally he was so calm and almost detached to some degree but here was being the complete and total opposite. Then again, with the way he looked, perhaps the sudden disappearance of a son who was supposed to be trapped just as his father was would tend to push you over the edge, eh?
He was not expecting to be kissed when his shoulders were grabbed, but it was certainly more welcome then what he'd expected and after the momentary surprise faded he returned the gesture as best he could. And then it was his turn to take him by the shoulders, and he looked him straight in the eyes but he couldn't keep a straight, serious face. By the suits he was ecstatic and he let it show. And.... was that hint of fear in those beautiful blue eyes? Oh my it was! It was... most attractive. He flicked an ear, willing that thought process not to start.
If my guess is right, he's not sleeping like he's supposed to be and is in the process of stealing down the staircase to get into some form of mischief ...
He grinned, tightening his grip on the man's shoulders, his next words softer, his body taking up it's subtle. excited shake again.
Finistris he's..... free.
He didn't know any better way to explain it, he wasn't even entirely sure how it had happened, but it was done and he'd inadvertently fulfilled half of his promise. Now.... now all he needed was his lover and everything would be.... well, as close to perfect as they could be. Oh gods, Morpheus was free, it was only really settling in now that he was here.

Osias gave him a grin and he wanted to shake the Rat...as it was, he simply allowed his bone rings to dig into his mates' shoulders slightly.
The answer he received was so shocking to him that his mouth fell open, almost comically, one eyebrow raised in utter confusion.
"He...he's what?"
His expression slowly slipped to blank...as he he considered his mate, he could practically feel the excitement radiating from him...quelling his feelings of jealousy and fear, not allowing them to the surface, he let a small, thin-lipped smirk to grace his features...
If his son got out...if he really had....then someday...
"He's really...? That's astounding, Osias...you must tell me how this was accomplished."
He reached into the darkness of a nearby wall and drew out what swiftly became a leather couch. Seating himself and attempting to pull the Rat down with him, he slithered into the other's lap, laying on his back, one hand reaching up to run long, pale fingers along the underside of his mate's jaw.

Finistris' expression surprised him a bit, again, with the lack of that cool collectedness that the man usually had, but he liked it all the same. It made him seem more, for a lack of a better word, real. He was excited yes, and wished to inspire his mate to be as well, which he was, to an extent, but there was also another pressing issue that Osias would simply have to prod at, and first for good measure as well.
He'd gotten quite used to seeing things pulled out of nothing, and didn't bat an eyelash at it all and merely aloud himself to be pulled down. It would not, however, be hard as he was more then willing. His pleased expression remained on his face and softened just a tad when the other man moved to his lap, the touch brightening it further.
He brought his own hand forward, running his digits lightly over the other's cheek before the movement traveled up and turned more into a gentle stroking, quite possibly the gentlest touch the rat had used to date. His expression changed however, slipping to one of genuine,, loving concern. A rather odd expression for the rat to say the least, and his voice mirrored his expression in it's own still mildly gruff way.
I will fully indulge you in due time, but first I need to know what has to my lover, I worry...
He sounded so very ... weak, but he couldn't help it he had to know, had to lower his defenses a bit. He cared, honestly and truthfully, and if you didn't show it occasionally, well, said care could be questioned and doubted. The rat certainly didn't enjoy that thought. He'd aloud himself to grow far to fond of the handsome face presently in his lap.

Lying across Osias's lap was comforting, and for the first time in a few weeks, Finistris began to relax a little, the muscles in his back slowly easing from their tensed position and his shoulders drooping back slightly as his lover's fingers stroked at his cheek lightly...
That was an exceedingly gentle touch to come from the Rat...how odd. He looked up into his mate's face...and was shocked at the expression. It was the most concerned he had ever seen the Rat, he wondered if anyone else received this sort of attention from Osias. Secretly, he doubted it...and delighted in it.
"Ah...that."
He knew the rat was lowering his defenses for him and that it would only do to return the favor...you didn't lie to your Clan...
"My other half and I had an...argument. To put it lightly, we came to blows over it and it didn't go as well as it could have for me. He's learned a restriction spell, and he kept me locked in a corner of my own consciousness for a week before I was allowed to move around again in his. He disapproves of some of my...actions, and doesn't wish to see anyone come to harm when I go wandering...as he has yet to know where it is I can go."
He gave the Rat a grin.
"You have no idea how much it terrifies him to not know where I vanish to. Or how hideously angry it can make him...we have our differences...we have for all our lives."
He caught the hand stroking his face and squeezed it tightly.
"He has power over me that I can never have...until I'm out. I need to be free of him, Osias. I am really beginning to see that we have come to a divide in our relationship as a part of one another. I can't be reduced to that again...I practically didn't exist."
He repressed the shudder, though he twitched oddly and stared up at Osias.
"Where is our son...and how did this happen?"

His honesty was rewarded with further honesty and his ears twitched as they always did when he was listening, and he very much was. Anything done to Finistris livened up the side of him that was the worst and after all this he'd probably venture off to the Capitol and take every ounce of his anger out on whomever struck his fancy. Or maybe the owner of any of those looks he generally got when he was out, either was someone was going to be in a world of pain for this even if it wasn't the source. Saying the rat was a hot head was an understatement.
When his hand was taken he was content to, at first, return the squeeze by stroking the back of said hand with his thumb, until he had finished filling the rat in and he gave the hand a tight squeeze expressing only part of his frustrations. There was also a part of him that was rather moved by the last statement as well, a little sad really, and he took his other hand and cupped it over Finistris', his expression changing to that rather determined one he used when he meant what he said.
I will do everything I can to make that a reality for you. I gave you my word and I do not break it.
However, when he switched over the subject back to their son he got a mildly strange smile and lifted the hand he's used to cup the other mans and rubbed the scar on his nose with two fingers. The beginning of that explanation was mildly embarrassing for him, but he'd tell it anyhow.
It was and .... accidental discovery really, and I'm not entirely sure of the details on the how.
He rested his free hand lightly on his lover's chest and continued on.
Morpheus had made me angry and the only way I can get back at him is by not visiting but to do so that also means I cannot sleep. Needless to say that, with the utter lack of care I give myself anyway, pushed my body beyond it's limitations and I wound up on the floor of the library.
And how he hated to admit that, especially that he had limitations. He had more then he wished for and it was a subject of great frustration for the rat, but he didn't have time to dwell on it now.
There's a boy, a young Jack, that can see into your thoughts with a reflective surface and he came across me and I suppose decided to see what was going on inside my mind, but he could see Mo and vice versa. The boy actually hopped into my head through a magnifying glass.
He visited Mo occasionally before approaching me specifically about bringing the boy out. I was skeptical but after a round of questions I let him proceed and it worked. Morpheus is with me.... in the Court of Spades.
That was the most the rat had talked probably ever, definitely the most in one sitting. But he was comfortable around Finistris, and that was the bare minimum it took to explain it properly, he deserved to know after all. And his next statement would be said in a softer tone with an accompanying smile.
I would have much preferred to free you first.

Finistris pressed his face into the Lowlanders' chest. The mere fact that Osias would have given his word in the first place had been enough...but the reassurance of it...
He really had a Clan, he had a mate and a son, and his son had become a reality...all that was left was for himself to follow suit...and they could...
He smiled and stroked the Rat's coarse fur, loving the texture far more than he would anything soft or plush. His hand was cupped in thin clawed digits and the Rat stroked his chest idly, Finistris grinned as the feeling of power resurged through him...his...
He quelled the impulse to dig his fingers into his mate's stomach and listened intently as his son's escape was explained.
"While that seems to have been a fitting form of punishment..." The Human chuckled, finally pressing the tip of one of the broken off bone rings into the Rat's soft stomach...lightly enough...but it would cut a tad. "From now on a smack in the face will probably suffice better...should he disobey...tell him I'll be waiting."
He listened with wonder to hear that a boy, a Jack had done this...and to hear that they were all living in the Court of Spades...interesting...
"Intriguing...a Jack, you say? How very odd, I wonder how he came across power like that...?"
He murmured, listening to the Rat's softer tone as he smiled and spoke again.
I would have much preferred to free you first.
Would he now?....That was not unexpected, but still very nice to hear. Finistris leaned up and kissed his mate again, running his fingers along behind the ears.
"Some day you'll have me...perhaps I could have a chat with this Jack, hmm?"

His worry began to ease as Finistris relaxed more and was pushed fully to the back of his mind for the time being when he chuckled. He looked mildly indignant for a moment, but it was all in jest and the look fully dissipated with a twitch of the corner of his mouth when he was lightly jabbed with one of those rings, a amused smirk replacing it.
Well, it certainly worked better at the time, he's a rather vindictive little snot actually, creative one at that.
A bit of a snicker accompanied his words, but he'd keep the punishment in mind. Now that he had other things to do, and other people to harass, he minded the rat fairly well, fairly. He didn't really mind if the boys fun ticked anyone else off, some of the things he heard about were rather... amusing.
This time around, feeling a bit playful, he returned the kiss by curling his head down a bit and running his muzzle along his lover's cheek, twitching the side closest to his face to briefly tickle his nose with his whiskers, ending in a careful nip to the other man's ear, well only careful in regards that he'd really rather not stab him with his teeth. He then tilted his head into the hand rubbing behind his ear, he did so love that.
Some day you'll have me
Well, that was good enough for him, and he felt terribly reassured as well. He wasn't certain, but he was sure the man's tone had shifted somewhere in his speech as well, back to his usual one, back to him. Unless given further cause, he wouldn't worry anymore... today.
I'm not entirely sure how to arrange that, the boy never has liked me, and I can't imagine my usual... persuasive techniques would work.

"Well, he would have to be...he comes from such fine stock."
Finistris teased, the corners of his mouth curling upward in a tight-lipped smile.
"This is a far better evening than I've had in quite awhile..."
He murmured, as the Rat nuzzled his face and nipped at his ear, the whiskers dragging along near his nose and forcing him to push them away lightly or he would sneeze. Though he rubbed a bit more roughly behind the Rat's ears...he knew Osias liked that...and if it made him happy...
Then he was happy to do it...
He felt far more normal now, his body relaxed into his mate's and his eyes half closed, gazing around the place.
"Understood...perhaps I could interest my other half in him somehow...I'm not certain, but...we shall prevail eventually...now that I know such a thing is possible."
He turned his gaze up to the Rat, smiling a little more purposefully now, dragging the ring up Osias's neck.
"Besides...I'm sure the brat has parents or friends that he worries about, hmm? Persuasion of that sort appears to work in your realm as well, I've heard."
