(this is set after Mephit catches Eldy in the dungeons, and in exchange for not telling Pravus she exists, or Peaches that she was caught, she gets to try out poisons on Eldy. Needless to say, not a good day. Just after Zuberi convinced her not to drink anymore too!)She'd gotten caught. She couldn't believe it, she had gotten caught. Useless, stupid, worthless being of a cat. She swallowed the last of the whiskey shivering sharply from the bite of the liquid down her throat. GOD that tasted horrible. Eldryia motioned for another drink. "Whas not. . gross?" She asked the barkeep who was obviously pissed the younger girl was in here. At least she had the decency to sit in a corner table where less people were likely to notice her. He brought her a cup full of clear liquid. Eldyria scoffed, water, she didn't need that but whatever. She threw it all down, only then realizing the entire thing was. . vodka. She coughed and spluttered a bit. Within a few minutes she was sprawled partly upon the table, somewhat conscious.

The bar was oddly quiet, the man noticed as he swirled the last of his drink in its glass before downing it. He leaned back in his seat and glanced around, eyes moving from face to face until they fell on someone who looked quite out of place in the dingy bar. A child, and from the looks of it, she was drinking quite heavily. It wasn't the most uncommon sight, but it was still one that made others feel quite uncomfortable. He raised an eyebrow as she downed the Glacier's strongest vodka like it was water, assuming that she had some kind of poison immunity. Black and purple, clearly a Torque, feline, and... A Six? Well. That probably wasn't a good sign, and the man knew that he needed to do something before the situation worsened. Seth pushed away from his seat as she collapsed atop the table, walking over to her and ignoring the stares that were being shot their way. " Hey, girl,[/b]" he whispered, leaning in close to the child and placing a hand on her back. With her appearance, there was only one person who she could possibly belong to. " Come on. I'm gonna take you home, okay?[/b]" Her reply wouldn't change that fact. He was a lot bigger than she was, and if she was one of Peaches's children... He wouldn't risk leaving her in a seedy part of town like this. |

Funny how everything swam, and spotted, and went black, then came back again. And how all her feet and legs felt numb and tingly. She moved her head in the other direction and noticed that her eyesight took a minute to catch up to the movement. When her eyes finally opened again, a rather sexy man was staring at her. Hah, she thought lazily in her drunken stupor. She knew this would happen eventually, she had just known it.
"Okay. ." She said with a drunken slur. Take me home Mr., take me home and do whatever you want. She giggled to herself. Not only had she been caught by Mephit, now she had been caught drunk by a rather hot dangerous looking man. She could only imagine what would happen to her tonight, damn shame she was wrong.
"Take me. . take." She petered off her eyes fluttering a little more shut. Oh she'd regret this in the morning, no matter how it turned out.

Seth almost laughed at her reply. She was clearly suffering from a delusion of granduer (or could it be one of age?) in regards to his intent, but her reply only made him feel more justified in hauling her back to her mother. She seemed to be quite eager to make a complete mess of herself, and as soon as she went limp he scooped her rather gently into his arms and slapped enough money to cover both of them onto the table before leaving.
It was an easy enough trip back, but the sky had become pitch black. Seth knew the path like the back of his hand, but even so he found himself taking care on the road. This would be a fine night to commit a crime, he was well aware, and with the girl in his arms and his care, he didn't want to take a single chance. Normally he'd be itching for a fight, but tonight... He just wanted to get her home.
The court was strangely quiet, but then he suspected that the majority of nobles were in bed, and at this hour there was likely little work to be done by the small army of workers and assistants that could be seen racing to-and-fro on the average day. He approached Peaches's suite somewhat warily, shifting his grip on the girl to a one-handed one before knocking softly on her door. He was probably waking her up... But he couldn't bring himself to feel too poorly about it. Besides, it had been some time since he'd seen the woman. Surely, she'd be ecstatic to see him!
When the door swung open, he grinned crookedly. "Think I found something of yours.[/b]"

Peaches wasn't actually asleep. She was planning to do a little spying tonight to see if she could find out anything interesting about some of the nobles. Her thoughts were interrupted when there was a knock on the door. With a raised eyebrow she hurried over to open it. She blinked a few extra times in surprise at the figure in front of her. It took her a good minute and a half to recognize who she was staring at. "Seth!" She said cheerfully. Then she glanced down at what was in his arms. Her heart almost stopped. With wide eyes she looked at Seth. "Get in now," she hissed. She had no intention to be forceful this was just very bad. Once he was in the room she shut the door behind her and leaned on it. No time for small talk. "You can't tell a living soul about her," Peaches said quietly. If anyone besides Xiven found out? And if Pravus found out.... oh good lord. "But... what happened? I'm not really sure why you would show up with the daughter no one is supposed to know exists at my door. Hate to cut the greetings short, this is just... shocking." |

The man's grin only widened as she greeted him cheerfully, and he opened his mouth to reply, but was cut short as he was cut off with a hiss. He blinked, but was quick to enter the room and lay the still-sleeping girl on the bed. What on earth could have her so... upset? He'd brought her home safe, hadn't he? And it wasn't exactly his fault that she was passed-out drunk...
Before the bat could ask a single question, however, Peaches began to speak, and he nodded slightly. "I... see. Your secret's safe with me, then.[/b]" he had never met the man who Peaches had bred with, but it wasn't hard to put the story together. Clearly, he would never approve of such a low-ranking child. "I was out drinking, and she was there. Downed a glass of vodka like it was nothing and passed out, unsurprisingly... And she looks just like you. I wasn't sure what I'd do if she wasn't yours, but I wasn't about to leave her there.[/b]"
He shrugged slightly, turning to glance at the sleeping child. So Heilyn wasn't the only one to have a scandal-child, it would seem...

"She what?" Peaches looked at Seth with a rather blank expression. She was furious beyond words. However, she had no right to take it out on Seth. "Thank you for bringing her too me. We're going to have a nice long talk once she wakes up with her horrible hang over."
She sighed. This was like being kicked in the face wasn't it? The woman brushed her gloved hands through her hair. What the hell was she supposed to say. "I'm sorry you had to bring her to me. She just... doesn't listen. If you'd like something for your ruined evening I'd be more than happy to provide you with some compensation." Peaches glanced over to the sleeping form on the bed. Eldy did look like her. No one would have guessed she was another one of Pravus' children. Peaches had manged to cover up her entire existence until recently.
"Sorry we had to meet up like this."

"Of course. I couldn't leave her there, especially since it looked like she might be yours.[/b]" he shrugged, glancing back at the girl. She was going to have a wickedly bad hangover when she woke up... and the bat didn't envy the girl for any of the attention she'd be getting from Peaches later.
He stood rather awkwardly for the moment, offering the woman a somewhat crooked grin. He thought better of making a perverted comment, settling instead to give her a hug. "Don't worry about it. I'll come bother you for lunch or something in a few days, once things have... settled again.[/b]" he ran a hand through the longer hair that covered his neck and shook his head before turning to the door once more. He gave Peaches a glance over his shoulder, trying to think of something to say to her but just shrugging again.
"...Good luck, Peaches.[/b]" he finally said, taking his leave of them. He was sure he'd hear how the situation turned out before long.

Peaches nodded, and was grateful that he didn't make any perverted comments. She was surprised by the hug. As he departed she muttered a thank you. For a while she stood there, leaning against her vanity. That girl never listened. She was just like Basil on so many levels. If she ended up like him... she didn't want to think about it.
Locking the door she wandered over to the bed, and waited. She was going to stay up the entire night preparing herself for the speech and trashing that was going to follow. There was no way in hell or high water she was going to let her daughter die because of stupidity.
It was a long night. But as soon as sunlight seeped through the windows she jumped into action. She shook the little feline, and wasn't going to stop until her daughter woke up, hangover or not.

Everything swam in front of her whenever she cracked her eyes open. All she knew was that she was in some big strong arms. She sighed a little, cuddling into them. Vaguely she was aware that they were going somewhere, and that in some way or another she was really going to regret this in the morning. It wasn't long though before consciousness slipped from her completely.
It was. . an interesting night. Twisted and warped dreams slipping by and forgotten a second later. Her body felt like it was throbbing the whole time as if it was a living entity all it's own. Slowly she started becoming aware of her body again until.
"Ughhhh!" She moaned as her body was assaulted. It made her head swim and throb so bad.
"St. . stop!" Eldryia tried to roll away from the shaking but flipping over onto her other side.
