James Binks-Rakosi had his Hobbes, his overfloofy jacket, his bunny slappiers and his book of the Fae. His pockets were even stuffed with candy. Bink as ready to go! he lay on the bench in a 'happier' area of the town and read under streetlights. Sure people giggled when they passed his raised bunny slippered feet, but he didn't care. He needed the day to himself.. to collect his thoughts... to... find his calm and keep it! And he was going to keep it too. No matter what...
Jerusalem walked, and walked, and walked, thankful to not be wearing any pants. It was a warm night, and she didn't like being sticky after a long days end. Besides, she kept to herself for the past few days and felt confident that people knew not to touch her skin with their bare hands. So, walking again, she steps off of the street, making her way towards the bench that she knew was there from the count of her paces, and slowly but surely, she squatted to take a seat.. right upon James if he didn't move. Oops!
James Binks-Rakosi hadn't moved either. He was too engrossed in his Fae knowledge of the day. Then he got sat on, which didn't help his stress levels any. He whined and bucked agaisntJerusalem, falling off the bench and onto the sidewalk to glare at her and hug his hobbes. "... oh... it's you. Heyla Jerusalem." He reached forward to start gathering up his book. "have a great evening..."
Jerusalem was bucked, and flailed against, and as she tried her best to catch the arms so that she wouldn't fall, she does anyways, right upon her bottom. Normally, she'd swear, but for some reason, she's been mellowing out lately. As she slowly, climbed to her feet, she frowns deeply. "Hey James.. um.. bye James? Where are you going and what's wrong?"
James Binks-Rakosi held onto Hobbes and book abd shruged. ".. home probably. I.. I don't think I can talk to you anymore... you want to hunter vampires. You jsut say one now but if you can hunt one you will want to hunt them all, and I'm married to a vampire so... yeah... I'm going to go now...."
Jerusalem grunts and takes a slight step forward, thumping her knee against the bench. With a wince, she steps back and curls over, rubbing at it quickly. "Well, alright. But can I tell you a secret before you go?"
James Binks-Rakosi kept his little corner distance from her, not that she could tell he was using the cement particians to separate them. "...um... ok..."
Jerusalem draws in a breath. "Well, I'm blind. Takes me weeks to get used to a place. And I really don't want people to know that I'm blind because then I'd be treated like a person who needs help and pity and such." She waves her hand idly, then shoves them into her pockets. "So I decide to be mean, rude, steal, lie, cheat.. or just something to make myself capable of doing harm to another so that they'd never touch or do harm to me again." She looks down, then kicks at the ground. "I only killed a hobo, but that was desperate self defense. And its beause I'm blind that it happened, and it's because that happened, I try to hide it and seem tough. In other words, I want -YOU- to know, that I can't kill or hunt a fly if I tried. But don't tell anyone else, they'll pick on me." And for a moment there, she sounded as if she were five years old..
Jehan Rakosi stalked down the street. He wasnt really stalking but the boots added to the look . Maybe he was hunting. Way things had been feeling lately it was hard to say. He slowed at the corner to watch Bink and one of his friends a moment .
James Binks-Rakosi blinked and rocked in place as he listened to her, "But...that doesn't explain anything for that other that you were with and saying the same thing. I dun think you're both blind..." he blushed then and gavea shrug, "and being independant is one thing.. giving threats to the Master fo the City is asking for death... and I... I don't like getting near it anymore.. please... i've had enough in my life to last several lifetimes." He paused, noticing Jehan off in the distance. That calmed him abit, knowing he was near and it also relaxed hm considerably.
Jerusalem looked a little sad. She did live out most of her life in anger, and suffered a lot from it. In fact, it isolated her, as it does now. "Well.. alright then." She wasn't going to fight him on it or follow him about, she could.. but she wouldn't. With a shrug of her shoulders and a little wave, she takes a step to the side once more, then carefully plants herself upon the bench, making sure that her pants only caught the slats. "I guess I'll see you around then."
James Binks-Rakosi fidgetted as Jehan approached. On the one hand he was happy.. the other hand he was still unsure. He did look to Jerusalem sadly then to Jehan with those wide-eyed lost look he tended to carry often. "...i dunno." When life got complicated repeating things likea 5 year old... worked.
Jerusalem immediately stood as she heard Jehan's voice. She hated when people stepped soft around her, she wasn't prepared. Offering a smile towards him.. in the wrong direction.. she waved her hand idly. "Sorry, that was my fault. I think I interrupted him." Hearing the tone that James put on, she shoo her head and took a step back. "Yeah, I stole his bench, I'll go find another one. Happy reading you guys!" She tried to be cheerful, but she actually choked up a little in her words and actions, as she has no clue of which way to go.
Jehan blinked again and tilted his head a bit then tsked," have you two quarrelled? had an arguement ? but it sounded like you were getting on so for jsut meeting..." he did eye Jerusalem with slightly narrowed eyes. He had heard what she had said to the Masters but chalked it up to bravado and that other friend ." Perhaps if things were talked out? maybe there could be understanding, hm? or no?"
James Binks-Rakosi chewed on his lower lip and gave Jehan that sad and uncomfortable look. "...I...am still shaken by everything that happened with Remiel biting me and all I heard at the club, jehan... i'll be ok..." He was hurt talking about it because he did care, but... the way they both talked in agreeance like that... that couldn't be seen as safe or just hot air. not to everyone it was said too.
Jerusalem turned once again, this time to correctly put Jehan within her sights.. or lack there of. She didn't say much at first, letting the silence after James' words pass, her head lowering to stare towards the ground as she thinks of what to say. "Um.. no actually. There's really nothing to talk about." She rolls her shoulders and straightens up, lifting her chin in the process. "What James said is a pretty smart thing, and I respect him for it. He has good judgement, and I can't cross anyones wishes if they have good judgement."
Jehan studied her for a moment before he nodded. " You seem to have pretty good instincts about a person . Because I often say similar about Bink." he started towards Bink only to pasue next to her and lean close for a moment," Neither of us would want to see my Bink hurt. This is something else we can agree on. " straightening he continued towards Bink" have a good evening my dear." he held out his hand to Bink" I smell the sugar on you but have you eatten otherwise? Do we need to go get you something real to eat?"
James Binks-Rakosi blushed faintly and leaned into Jehan's body, "well.. I ate earlierthis morning.. but not recently. I.. I think I'll be ok. what about you Jehan? What are you up to?"
Jerusalem nearly jumped out of the way once Jehan came close, but she held her composure and stood still. She nodded at his words as she kept quiet, and without speaking another towards them, she headed on down the street. Wandering was on her menu tonight, and she was going to see to it that it was done.
Jehan wasnt really ignoreing Jeru but he wasnt visibly watching her walk away either . Instead he lifted a hand to touch Bink's cheek lightly ," Was out walking. I feel too antsy to paint so I wanted to find you and see what you were doing . I feel .. too energised or something at the moment.
James Binks-Rakosi hugged Jehan with Hobbes's help and sighed out. "I really didn't want to come out tonight but I knew you always send me out anyway... so yeah... I.. I had a bad night last night, and.. and I don't like being alone out here.. I don't like being around that other fellow.... he confuses me... and it hurts... my head."
Jehan pet at Bink's hair a bit and nods," Actually , after last night I would not have sent you out on your own . I do not like him either.. he brings my blood to boil and I do not even need to see him I ..well you know that I do not often voice a desire to hurt someone...not after what you have been through
Deoridhe pauses at the corner when she sees Bink and Jehan, raising a hand to wave over her head so they might see her over the cars. She winces a little as one comes a little too near the curb, then jumps up and down to see if they see her.
James Binks-Rakosi with his face buried into Jehan's shoulder he nodded against him and smiled weakly. "Thank you.. for understanding, Jehan.." there were other things that happened. that woman that felt like him but not.. the comfort she brought and the fear because of it. The memories, his nearness... the fear of that email were still all very real in his mind. Real enough to make him clong to Jehan as best he could.
Jehan draped arms about Bink and nuzzled his hair a bit then lifted his head with a smile," Come on . Lets go someplace I feel safel. I know that Aydryan will protect...." there was a horn honking then and he glanced up with a slight scowl till he saw the bouncing Deo and smiling crookedly he lifted a hand in greeting to her ." Look Bink.. its the strange lady with the wings. Though.. she seems nice .
Deoridhe stars across the street - gets honked at - and runs. "Hi!" she says, sounding excited. "Bink, are you ok? After last night...?" Her cheeks are red from running and she's carefully staring mostly at collarbones.
James Binks-Rakosi lifted his face to the horn honking and trembled. His eyes were wide and a bit distant as he looked to Deo. "..i..um...heyla..." He clung again and kept his eyes shifting back to the cars... evil cars.. "I trust wher you go, Jehan. You know that..."
Jehan blinked a bit at Deo and almost frowned. He hated that Bink had been in such risk and distress and he had not known about it. The smile returned quickly enough as he nodded a greeting to her, " We are going to the club. You are welcome to join us if you should like .
Deoridhe shifts a little, almost uncertainly, then nods. "He... I don't know if you heard, but ...he was arrested last night." She bites her lower lip, looking between the two of them anxiously. "I'm glad you left when you did, Bink. That was really smart."
James Binks-Rakosi shrugged simply to the response. He had purposefully avoiding saying Remiel's name because simply saying it aloud strained him so much. In fact, thinking of him.. pu a strain on his senses he couldn't fully comprehend. "oh..." He rested his cheek on Jehan's shoudler and sighed, ".. you think... they'll have some milk there? I'd like some milk to drink."
Jehan nodded agasint Bink's head and turned him to head down the street." I know for a fact they will have it . Some of the drinks are made with it . I bet the way they like you already , they would find a way to get you anything you asked for. "he too avoided that name and topic. it made him angry and he didnt like being angry . "
Deoridhe licks her lips, then trails after the other two, not saying anything. She'd hoped it owuld be good news, but.... not? Skipping a little, she adds, "I picked up some lindt truffles while I was at school. Want some, Bink? I have mint and peanut butter and dark chocolate."
*
Jehan paused a moment as he approached the entrance of the club. Head tilted jsut a bit and he hrmed softly ," Aydryan has a nice bike. I wonder if he maintains it himself . Perhaps I shall get a chance to ask him . " gaze slid over to Remiel but it was the faintest of nods ..an acknowledgement of sorts at least before he continued to the doors with an arm over Binks shoulder.
James Binks-Rakosi kept his eyes on Jehan as they moved, " ..well you do have that strange obsession with them..." he mused as they walked. He had a feeling the other vampire was near by but he was not moving his eyes to see. He was too caught up in holding onto Jehan for anything else.
Deoridhe mutters something to herself when she sees Remiel, going more than a little pale. She turns her face away from him, focusing on - of all things - Bink's Hobbes. Her fingers twitch a little and coild in her skirts, one hand closing over the bag in her pocket.
Remiel Anton Inclined his head in silent acknoledgment himself at the red head, a smal twitch of lip at the blonde and his amusing garb...and this vision went to Deo and a smirk split his lips. "It really is a pitty you wont look anyone." But for the most part he seemed to leave them alone. He was exausted and worn. He wasnt moving out of their way mind you, but he wasnt going to stop them from walking around him either
Jehan didnt see him as any impediment and walked on past him then paused a moment and glanced back," I hear you do sword training . Perhaps I shall look that up sometime " he didnt await an answer now but moved on into the club .
James Binks-Rakosi frowned at the words as they slipped inside of fang bangers. he wrapped his arms tightly about Jehan's waist and looked up to his with a tad bit of pleading, "jehan... don't. you don't need to hold a sword to do things. You are fine the way you are!" He wasn't violent by nature and knew Jehan didn't normally wish to be.
Deoridhe follows after, looking for all the WORLD like she wanted to grab Hobbes' other hand. She doesn't, though; she womanfully resists. She does check her necklace at the enterence, though for the first time truly reluctantly. There she pauses, stepping out of the way of course but not diving into the club. One hand slides up her arm to chaff her upper arm.
Jehan jsut glanced to Bink and hufgged him a bit clsoer then moved over to the unoccupied couch, " you know I was already trained in it , Bink. That and many other things . They made sure of it . Someone that haled my place had to know , hm? ITs ok. Jsut need to pull my own around here is all . Lets not talk about that right now though, We came here because its safer at the moment " he fluidly folded into the seat and held out a hand to Bink to tug him down next to him .
James Binks-Rakosi sat IN Jehan's lap andcurled up against his chest s they both settled onto the couch. Hobbes too came up with them and did a half boncy bounce on Jehan's knee. Taking the plushie in both hands, Bink raised it so he could wiggly his stripes better before Jehan's face. "thees ish as safe as a bleeding leg ins a pool of sharks!" And yes.. that was said in a higher pitched squeaky voice. As Bink spoke through.. Hobbes, he wiggled plushy armas and danced for the redheaded vampire. "Wher's thees milk! You pwomised ush milks, Jehaaaaan!"
Deoridhe bounces a little on her toes, giggles startled out of her when Hobbes begins to talk. "I'm going to get something from the bar. I can get milk and ...whatever you want, Jehan?" She's not looking toward them, instead scanning the crowd and shifting nervously.
Jehan snorted softly at Bink...no at Hobbes..." you are married to a shark.. but the top shark I trust " he lifted a hand to poke at Hobbes stomach," Ask Miss Zoe to get you your milk , nicely and she will . " leaning his head back slightly hs shook it to her," nothing for me , Thank you . "
"NOOOOES!!" Howled one chirpy little hobbes as he flailed in Bink's hands and bapped at jehan's nose. "Youse drink too!! youse drinks tooos!!!!"Bink huffed and fwapped Jehan with Hobbes as he blushed and smiled to her, "May I please have a glass of milk, Miss Zoe and... and Jehan needs a drink too. so whatever will work good for him will be nice. thank you kindly!"
Deoridhe raises both brows, actually looking over when Hobbes ....'schools' Jehan. She starts giggling more. "Of course you can have milk, Hobbes. Would Bink like his own, too, or can you two share?" She glances at Jehan, kind of, and adds, "I don't know... um... what will.... 'work'?"
Jehan gave Hobbs a most longsuffering look that allowed this scene was not a new one . He stuck out his tongue at Hobbes then shook his head a bit," I suppose a blisskey then ...heavy on the bl" he thought a moment " you could see if they happen to have cookies though . Bink might like that. Not sure about Hobbes. "
"Oh cookies! I'll hav some cookies too please!!" He chirped and smooshed poor Hobbes into the corner. "hobbes can't have none though.. he puts crumbs everywhere and then the bed bugs come and.. no!"He blushed then and kissed at Jehan's cheek. "Thank you for drinking with us, Jehan!"
Deoridhe giggles more. "All right, milk, cookies and a ....bliss....key." She shakes her head, bemused and turns away from them to thread her way through the crowd to the bar.
Jehan smiled crookedly at Bink and shrugged a bit." I know the club welcomes it but to really slake my thirst I am not sure you want me to do that here " he let a gloved hand trail up Bink's arm. So at the lest I can hold this drink they make here and blend in with the others and enjoy being with you .
James Binks-Rakosi giggles brightlyand holds up hobbes. "And Hobbes too! don't forget hobbes!" He shook his feet as he spoke and each bunny head bounced about with a strange bit of enthusiasm.
Jehan snorted again and leaned his head into the bouncing Hobbes," but when I nibble on Hobbes I get all that orange fuzzy on my tongue and you wont let me lick it off on you ."
James Binks-Rakosi gags and flops back onto the couch. "ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!" he thre his arms up, with hobbes and shielded his eyes. "That is so gross, Jehan! gordy gross!!"
Jehan snickered softly and walked gloved fingers down his thigh." suuuuuure you say that now .
"i saw that always!!! I dun want orange fuzz licked on me!" He kicked bunny feet itnothe air and blushed to the attention his thigh received from gloved hands. "Hobbes doesn't liek it either! we prefer bubbly bubbled baths, thank you!"
Deoridhe returns with a plate in either hand. In one hand - the jackpot - a variety of cookies and a shot glass filled with milk. In the other hand, a large glass of milk, a blisskey, and something white in a tumbler all leaning against each other to not fall. Her tongue is sticking out form between her teeth as she focuses on not dropping anything; the glass-covered plate is beginning to shake slightly.
Jehan focused as he was on Bink and watching him with hooded gaze he still felt that approaching movement and turned with a blink and then a slight start as he saw Deo with her load . He was trapped under Bink's legs but when she got close ehough he reached over to snnag the plate and shot glass so she could rearrange the other drinks before they spilled. he set the plate on Bink's stomach," you should have asked for a tray .. I am sure they would have been more than willing to loan you one. Be a real waitress that way . ...and thank you .
James Binks-Rakosi made a soft oomph! sound as he was used as a table. But then Hobbes didn't seem to mind. He bounced from Bink's face to the plate and did happy happy hobbes dances on the motherload of all cookie plates!
Deoridhe wrinkles her nose at Jehan's comment. "I've seen what the staff here wear and I /reeeeally/ don't think that's my style." Once the cookie plate is settled, she offers up the blisskey to Jehan and the big glass of milk to Bink. "The little one is for Hobbes," she adds, leaning over to snag a couple chocolate chip cookies.
Jehan took the drink with a slight incline of his head and then tilted it back again giving her a look over then a brow waggle," Oh I don't know. I think you would do it quite the justice...and hopefully Hobbes doesnt swim in his milk .
James Binks-Rakosi hobbes did get a bit dirty dancing on the cookies, but his shotglass was ok! Bink though had already drank down most his glass. He sighed out and set it o nthe couch edge wearing a proud mustach. He set hobbes agaist jehan's arm and took two cokies in each hand to devour down, and he would too. Bink had something of a bottomless pit when it came to his stomach.
Deoridhe blushes furiously at Jehan's comment. "I... um.... uh... well... um...." She drinks instead of trying to continue to reply, clearly nonplussed. "I'm going to explore a little," she says, then. "There's this whole other room... I want to see what's there." She flashes a grin neither of them are likely to see and turns to head back the way she came with her snack and drink.
Jehan managed to not chuckle and ruin that blush as he watched her and offered a slight toast to her," ok..have fun . I beleive we shall be here..Bink has a few cookies to consume" he glanced back to Bink," hrm.. maybe not a long while though
James Binks-Rakosi rawr rawr raaamm nomh namh!" was all BInk said as he ... sounded much like a blue fuzzy monster on a children's show. the cookeis too went jsut as fast as they had on that show. He was also quiet sure hobbes didn't mind him drinking his shotglass or his portion of the cookies. now his tummy was a bit crumb overed, his mouth still had that milky mustach and he burped on child-like contentment.
Deoridhe giggles. "They have more at the bar," she replies lightly, skipping a little to get around a moving clump of people and setting off across the room.
Jehan could only grin at Binks childish enthusiasm as he leaned back agsitnt hat leather couch ," Someone is going to accuse me of not feeding you someday .”
James Binks-Rakosi giggled softly as he sat upand wiped hsi milk mustache with his sleeve, " You mean.. they don't already?" He blushed and he curled himself up more agaisnst Jehan's side.
Jehan playfully plucked at Bink's collar on his jacket freeing some crumbs," yes.. when they see how well you feed me some say that I dont feed you enough . I suppose that is why I am constantly shoving food at you .
James Binks-Rakosi nodded gently, " cause oyu like to eat, therefore so do I!" he clapped his hands and kissed at jehan's cheek. "But you haven't lately, and I'm a bit glad for that. not that I don't like it but.. well.. yeah...It's nice not to sometimes."
Jehan gently laid fingers on Bink's knee and glanced away watching the others in the room but distantly for a long moment," I promised you I would not let you be hurt but daily you are being hurt. I do not want to add my own bite to that till I can make sure to make you safe and happy .
" oh.. then.. how about we head home then? I know it is early, but this way if we head home now.. no one will hurt us and we'll just amke it there without any problems. Maybe.. we can stop o nthe way to play i nthe water?"
Jehan Rakosi looked back to Bink giving him that molten look . that love that would feed him through centuries and he slow nodded. " there is a path that can go near the water. have you been there?
" no.. I haven't really been aroudn teh city. I've... been too scared to leave the paths I know. I have found the fountain however!" He smiled weakly and gave a gentle shrug. "You know me..."
Jehan patted that leg once more and then scooped him up to hug him tightly a moment as he nuzzled into that spot of neck and shoulder taking in a deep breath before he moved to set him to his feet," yes.. I know you as you know me . Come.. I will show you what I found and thought of you .”
James Binks-Rakosi bobbled in place and beamed at jehan," alright, but... let me leave my shoes here so they won't get dirty!" He left Hobbes too on the couch as he bent over and took off both slippers to st on either side of him. Now barefoot, Bink was ready to go.
Jehan even had a fond look for those feet. funny as that was to say . Though his own legs were encased in all the leather still taking Bink's hand he led him out the door to go find water once more.
*
Jehan Rakosi glanced out once at the deep water. it was only years of training that let him not shudder as he turned his back on it to smile at Bink," There you go love...”
James Binks-Rakosi made a bright and gleeful sound as he started to peel off his jacket and shirt. AAs each came flying off he woudl in turn pass them back to Jehan. He'd learned better than to ask him to join him, but that didn't mean that Jehan didn't like watching him swim!
Jehan chuckled softly as his arms soon filled up with clothing and he made a show of carefully folding them before he set them on the grass and settled next to them. The change in viewing angle would help him not think about the water being so deep .
The last part he left him was his glasses and gently kiss to his cheek before with a laugh and frolic, there Bink went, diving inoto the depths. Bink held no fears of the watery darkness that was the sea water. Itt seemed to wash away all his woes, his fears and worries. it made him play harder, seem more alive, though in it held that twinge of lonliness that he could not share with Jehan. Not physically anyway.
Jehan pulled up his knees to rest his chin on them . even though he didn't smile there was still a peace to the eye which bright;y in the dark watched the splashing figure. Now this, this was an emotiion that was the sweetest of flvours to him and one he loved feeding back to bink later . when he was able to touch him he woulld take a sip to savour and save for when bink needed it back a gain
*
James Binks-Rakosi had his fill and swimmy swam all over, under the depths through the waves, around the cliff ledgings along sandy banks. He swam and laugh and laugh and swam until he couldn't paddle anymore. Exhausted out he floundered to the shore and crawled up the banks to drip sea water all over Jehan as he hugged the vampire an flopped onto him with w playful squeak! "i'm cold.."
Jehan snickered and huged him back tightly before standing . He kept him in his arms though lifting him with him." curl close then love and I shall take us home . make a hot hot bubble bath for us to get the salt off you then we shall go to bed.
*
James Binks-Rakosi was busy chattering on to himself about seaweed and braiding said seaweed into Jehan's hair. "...now you have the sea on yooooou!" he finally sang once the seaweed stuck to Jehan's hair. He liked being carried and by the time he was done.. they were practically at their home doorway.
James Binks-Rakosi scoffs playfully. "I'm only high cause you're holding me up too much!" he wiggled in Jehan's arms and blinkeddown at the box at his feet. "But your guitar looks much better on the high shelf, its out of the way and can be seen! it;s lovely. the case jsut hides it. Side Mon Cher appreciates it greatly.." he knew better than to ask Jehan to pick it up. He'd most likely scoot the box inside with them. "You think the box will want to take a bath with us...?"
Jehan managed to open the door with Bink in arms...afterall he had a lot of practice at that too and he pushed the box inside with one booted foot," I am not bathing with a box. It can wait in the hall for when we are done.. or tomorrow night. there is no heartbeat in it.
James Binks-Rakosi wriggled out of jehan's arms to walk up to the box.. and poke it. It was a rather boyish poke. If he had a stick, he would most assuredly be poking the box with a stick. "Can't I open it now.. I wanna know wha it is.."
Jehan was already stripping out of the now salt stained silk shirt he had been wearing and he smiled crookedly," It will bother you the rest of the night if I say no.. so I suppose for our own peace.. I shall say yes.
James Binks-Rakosi giggled as he pushed the light box around as he sat o nthe floor and took his time inspecting it. This was the most gentle part of the whole process then came unwrapping. THis was one of the most violent acts Bink could ever do. Ripping open boxes. He ripped back the last fo the tape so hard the box exploded open and threw packing peanuts everywhere!!
Jehan had to giggle as he leaned there on the wall and watched Bink, there were times he thought just giving him boxes to unwrap would be a great joy . He had to look around at the packing peanuts went flying ," your beast will be here in a moment I am sure to investigate. I think it will have almost as much fun as you
James Binks-Rakosi was diving through the packing peanuts, giggling as he 'played'. that was until he found the object of his seeking. And just like that.. out came a stuffed animal... grey kitty. "goodness!" He chirped as he held the kitty up high, " it's like a full grown version of MOn Cher without the ORange!" and on cue.. in scrambled the little mon cher. hissing its happy hell to jehan before trying to kneed his boots. then as kitten tend to do.. he got distracted by packing peanuts and there went the cleanliness that was the entrance room.
Jehan had to fight bback the urge to hiss in return to the kitten. That would only bring Bink down and that laughter was far too precious to waste. He grimaced slightly and shook his head then went to look while Bink was distracted to see if there was any indication of who the gift was from .
James Binks-Rakosi was busy petting on Mon Cher and his new plush that he was affectionately calling 'peanut'. Taking both up into his arms he left the packing peanuts sea behind them as they made their way upstairs for a bath and bedtime... perhaps not iin that direct order
Jehan held up that little card and gave a small smile even though brows furrowed slightly . Then he too headed upstairs and he laid the card on the bookshelf before he headed into the bathroom himself," the cats are not in the tub with us !”
Jerusalem walked, and walked, and walked, thankful to not be wearing any pants. It was a warm night, and she didn't like being sticky after a long days end. Besides, she kept to herself for the past few days and felt confident that people knew not to touch her skin with their bare hands. So, walking again, she steps off of the street, making her way towards the bench that she knew was there from the count of her paces, and slowly but surely, she squatted to take a seat.. right upon James if he didn't move. Oops!
James Binks-Rakosi hadn't moved either. He was too engrossed in his Fae knowledge of the day. Then he got sat on, which didn't help his stress levels any. He whined and bucked agaisntJerusalem, falling off the bench and onto the sidewalk to glare at her and hug his hobbes. "... oh... it's you. Heyla Jerusalem." He reached forward to start gathering up his book. "have a great evening..."
Jerusalem was bucked, and flailed against, and as she tried her best to catch the arms so that she wouldn't fall, she does anyways, right upon her bottom. Normally, she'd swear, but for some reason, she's been mellowing out lately. As she slowly, climbed to her feet, she frowns deeply. "Hey James.. um.. bye James? Where are you going and what's wrong?"
James Binks-Rakosi held onto Hobbes and book abd shruged. ".. home probably. I.. I don't think I can talk to you anymore... you want to hunter vampires. You jsut say one now but if you can hunt one you will want to hunt them all, and I'm married to a vampire so... yeah... I'm going to go now...."
Jerusalem grunts and takes a slight step forward, thumping her knee against the bench. With a wince, she steps back and curls over, rubbing at it quickly. "Well, alright. But can I tell you a secret before you go?"
James Binks-Rakosi kept his little corner distance from her, not that she could tell he was using the cement particians to separate them. "...um... ok..."
Jerusalem draws in a breath. "Well, I'm blind. Takes me weeks to get used to a place. And I really don't want people to know that I'm blind because then I'd be treated like a person who needs help and pity and such." She waves her hand idly, then shoves them into her pockets. "So I decide to be mean, rude, steal, lie, cheat.. or just something to make myself capable of doing harm to another so that they'd never touch or do harm to me again." She looks down, then kicks at the ground. "I only killed a hobo, but that was desperate self defense. And its beause I'm blind that it happened, and it's because that happened, I try to hide it and seem tough. In other words, I want -YOU- to know, that I can't kill or hunt a fly if I tried. But don't tell anyone else, they'll pick on me." And for a moment there, she sounded as if she were five years old..
Jehan Rakosi stalked down the street. He wasnt really stalking but the boots added to the look . Maybe he was hunting. Way things had been feeling lately it was hard to say. He slowed at the corner to watch Bink and one of his friends a moment .
James Binks-Rakosi blinked and rocked in place as he listened to her, "But...that doesn't explain anything for that other that you were with and saying the same thing. I dun think you're both blind..." he blushed then and gavea shrug, "and being independant is one thing.. giving threats to the Master fo the City is asking for death... and I... I don't like getting near it anymore.. please... i've had enough in my life to last several lifetimes." He paused, noticing Jehan off in the distance. That calmed him abit, knowing he was near and it also relaxed hm considerably.
Jerusalem looked a little sad. She did live out most of her life in anger, and suffered a lot from it. In fact, it isolated her, as it does now. "Well.. alright then." She wasn't going to fight him on it or follow him about, she could.. but she wouldn't. With a shrug of her shoulders and a little wave, she takes a step to the side once more, then carefully plants herself upon the bench, making sure that her pants only caught the slats. "I guess I'll see you around then."
James Binks-Rakosi fidgetted as Jehan approached. On the one hand he was happy.. the other hand he was still unsure. He did look to Jerusalem sadly then to Jehan with those wide-eyed lost look he tended to carry often. "...i dunno." When life got complicated repeating things likea 5 year old... worked.
Jerusalem immediately stood as she heard Jehan's voice. She hated when people stepped soft around her, she wasn't prepared. Offering a smile towards him.. in the wrong direction.. she waved her hand idly. "Sorry, that was my fault. I think I interrupted him." Hearing the tone that James put on, she shoo her head and took a step back. "Yeah, I stole his bench, I'll go find another one. Happy reading you guys!" She tried to be cheerful, but she actually choked up a little in her words and actions, as she has no clue of which way to go.
Jehan blinked again and tilted his head a bit then tsked," have you two quarrelled? had an arguement ? but it sounded like you were getting on so for jsut meeting..." he did eye Jerusalem with slightly narrowed eyes. He had heard what she had said to the Masters but chalked it up to bravado and that other friend ." Perhaps if things were talked out? maybe there could be understanding, hm? or no?"
James Binks-Rakosi chewed on his lower lip and gave Jehan that sad and uncomfortable look. "...I...am still shaken by everything that happened with Remiel biting me and all I heard at the club, jehan... i'll be ok..." He was hurt talking about it because he did care, but... the way they both talked in agreeance like that... that couldn't be seen as safe or just hot air. not to everyone it was said too.
Jerusalem turned once again, this time to correctly put Jehan within her sights.. or lack there of. She didn't say much at first, letting the silence after James' words pass, her head lowering to stare towards the ground as she thinks of what to say. "Um.. no actually. There's really nothing to talk about." She rolls her shoulders and straightens up, lifting her chin in the process. "What James said is a pretty smart thing, and I respect him for it. He has good judgement, and I can't cross anyones wishes if they have good judgement."
Jehan studied her for a moment before he nodded. " You seem to have pretty good instincts about a person . Because I often say similar about Bink." he started towards Bink only to pasue next to her and lean close for a moment," Neither of us would want to see my Bink hurt. This is something else we can agree on. " straightening he continued towards Bink" have a good evening my dear." he held out his hand to Bink" I smell the sugar on you but have you eatten otherwise? Do we need to go get you something real to eat?"
James Binks-Rakosi blushed faintly and leaned into Jehan's body, "well.. I ate earlierthis morning.. but not recently. I.. I think I'll be ok. what about you Jehan? What are you up to?"
Jerusalem nearly jumped out of the way once Jehan came close, but she held her composure and stood still. She nodded at his words as she kept quiet, and without speaking another towards them, she headed on down the street. Wandering was on her menu tonight, and she was going to see to it that it was done.
Jehan wasnt really ignoreing Jeru but he wasnt visibly watching her walk away either . Instead he lifted a hand to touch Bink's cheek lightly ," Was out walking. I feel too antsy to paint so I wanted to find you and see what you were doing . I feel .. too energised or something at the moment.
James Binks-Rakosi hugged Jehan with Hobbes's help and sighed out. "I really didn't want to come out tonight but I knew you always send me out anyway... so yeah... I.. I had a bad night last night, and.. and I don't like being alone out here.. I don't like being around that other fellow.... he confuses me... and it hurts... my head."
Jehan pet at Bink's hair a bit and nods," Actually , after last night I would not have sent you out on your own . I do not like him either.. he brings my blood to boil and I do not even need to see him I ..well you know that I do not often voice a desire to hurt someone...not after what you have been through
Deoridhe pauses at the corner when she sees Bink and Jehan, raising a hand to wave over her head so they might see her over the cars. She winces a little as one comes a little too near the curb, then jumps up and down to see if they see her.
James Binks-Rakosi with his face buried into Jehan's shoulder he nodded against him and smiled weakly. "Thank you.. for understanding, Jehan.." there were other things that happened. that woman that felt like him but not.. the comfort she brought and the fear because of it. The memories, his nearness... the fear of that email were still all very real in his mind. Real enough to make him clong to Jehan as best he could.
Jehan draped arms about Bink and nuzzled his hair a bit then lifted his head with a smile," Come on . Lets go someplace I feel safel. I know that Aydryan will protect...." there was a horn honking then and he glanced up with a slight scowl till he saw the bouncing Deo and smiling crookedly he lifted a hand in greeting to her ." Look Bink.. its the strange lady with the wings. Though.. she seems nice .
Deoridhe stars across the street - gets honked at - and runs. "Hi!" she says, sounding excited. "Bink, are you ok? After last night...?" Her cheeks are red from running and she's carefully staring mostly at collarbones.
James Binks-Rakosi lifted his face to the horn honking and trembled. His eyes were wide and a bit distant as he looked to Deo. "..i..um...heyla..." He clung again and kept his eyes shifting back to the cars... evil cars.. "I trust wher you go, Jehan. You know that..."
Jehan blinked a bit at Deo and almost frowned. He hated that Bink had been in such risk and distress and he had not known about it. The smile returned quickly enough as he nodded a greeting to her, " We are going to the club. You are welcome to join us if you should like .
Deoridhe shifts a little, almost uncertainly, then nods. "He... I don't know if you heard, but ...he was arrested last night." She bites her lower lip, looking between the two of them anxiously. "I'm glad you left when you did, Bink. That was really smart."
James Binks-Rakosi shrugged simply to the response. He had purposefully avoiding saying Remiel's name because simply saying it aloud strained him so much. In fact, thinking of him.. pu a strain on his senses he couldn't fully comprehend. "oh..." He rested his cheek on Jehan's shoudler and sighed, ".. you think... they'll have some milk there? I'd like some milk to drink."
Jehan nodded agasint Bink's head and turned him to head down the street." I know for a fact they will have it . Some of the drinks are made with it . I bet the way they like you already , they would find a way to get you anything you asked for. "he too avoided that name and topic. it made him angry and he didnt like being angry . "
Deoridhe licks her lips, then trails after the other two, not saying anything. She'd hoped it owuld be good news, but.... not? Skipping a little, she adds, "I picked up some lindt truffles while I was at school. Want some, Bink? I have mint and peanut butter and dark chocolate."
*
Jehan paused a moment as he approached the entrance of the club. Head tilted jsut a bit and he hrmed softly ," Aydryan has a nice bike. I wonder if he maintains it himself . Perhaps I shall get a chance to ask him . " gaze slid over to Remiel but it was the faintest of nods ..an acknowledgement of sorts at least before he continued to the doors with an arm over Binks shoulder.
James Binks-Rakosi kept his eyes on Jehan as they moved, " ..well you do have that strange obsession with them..." he mused as they walked. He had a feeling the other vampire was near by but he was not moving his eyes to see. He was too caught up in holding onto Jehan for anything else.
Deoridhe mutters something to herself when she sees Remiel, going more than a little pale. She turns her face away from him, focusing on - of all things - Bink's Hobbes. Her fingers twitch a little and coild in her skirts, one hand closing over the bag in her pocket.
Remiel Anton Inclined his head in silent acknoledgment himself at the red head, a smal twitch of lip at the blonde and his amusing garb...and this vision went to Deo and a smirk split his lips. "It really is a pitty you wont look anyone." But for the most part he seemed to leave them alone. He was exausted and worn. He wasnt moving out of their way mind you, but he wasnt going to stop them from walking around him either
Jehan didnt see him as any impediment and walked on past him then paused a moment and glanced back," I hear you do sword training . Perhaps I shall look that up sometime " he didnt await an answer now but moved on into the club .
James Binks-Rakosi frowned at the words as they slipped inside of fang bangers. he wrapped his arms tightly about Jehan's waist and looked up to his with a tad bit of pleading, "jehan... don't. you don't need to hold a sword to do things. You are fine the way you are!" He wasn't violent by nature and knew Jehan didn't normally wish to be.
Deoridhe follows after, looking for all the WORLD like she wanted to grab Hobbes' other hand. She doesn't, though; she womanfully resists. She does check her necklace at the enterence, though for the first time truly reluctantly. There she pauses, stepping out of the way of course but not diving into the club. One hand slides up her arm to chaff her upper arm.
Jehan jsut glanced to Bink and hufgged him a bit clsoer then moved over to the unoccupied couch, " you know I was already trained in it , Bink. That and many other things . They made sure of it . Someone that haled my place had to know , hm? ITs ok. Jsut need to pull my own around here is all . Lets not talk about that right now though, We came here because its safer at the moment " he fluidly folded into the seat and held out a hand to Bink to tug him down next to him .
James Binks-Rakosi sat IN Jehan's lap andcurled up against his chest s they both settled onto the couch. Hobbes too came up with them and did a half boncy bounce on Jehan's knee. Taking the plushie in both hands, Bink raised it so he could wiggly his stripes better before Jehan's face. "thees ish as safe as a bleeding leg ins a pool of sharks!" And yes.. that was said in a higher pitched squeaky voice. As Bink spoke through.. Hobbes, he wiggled plushy armas and danced for the redheaded vampire. "Wher's thees milk! You pwomised ush milks, Jehaaaaan!"
Deoridhe bounces a little on her toes, giggles startled out of her when Hobbes begins to talk. "I'm going to get something from the bar. I can get milk and ...whatever you want, Jehan?" She's not looking toward them, instead scanning the crowd and shifting nervously.
Jehan snorted softly at Bink...no at Hobbes..." you are married to a shark.. but the top shark I trust " he lifted a hand to poke at Hobbes stomach," Ask Miss Zoe to get you your milk , nicely and she will . " leaning his head back slightly hs shook it to her," nothing for me , Thank you . "
"NOOOOES!!" Howled one chirpy little hobbes as he flailed in Bink's hands and bapped at jehan's nose. "Youse drink too!! youse drinks tooos!!!!"Bink huffed and fwapped Jehan with Hobbes as he blushed and smiled to her, "May I please have a glass of milk, Miss Zoe and... and Jehan needs a drink too. so whatever will work good for him will be nice. thank you kindly!"
Deoridhe raises both brows, actually looking over when Hobbes ....'schools' Jehan. She starts giggling more. "Of course you can have milk, Hobbes. Would Bink like his own, too, or can you two share?" She glances at Jehan, kind of, and adds, "I don't know... um... what will.... 'work'?"
Jehan gave Hobbs a most longsuffering look that allowed this scene was not a new one . He stuck out his tongue at Hobbes then shook his head a bit," I suppose a blisskey then ...heavy on the bl" he thought a moment " you could see if they happen to have cookies though . Bink might like that. Not sure about Hobbes. "
"Oh cookies! I'll hav some cookies too please!!" He chirped and smooshed poor Hobbes into the corner. "hobbes can't have none though.. he puts crumbs everywhere and then the bed bugs come and.. no!"He blushed then and kissed at Jehan's cheek. "Thank you for drinking with us, Jehan!"
Deoridhe giggles more. "All right, milk, cookies and a ....bliss....key." She shakes her head, bemused and turns away from them to thread her way through the crowd to the bar.
Jehan smiled crookedly at Bink and shrugged a bit." I know the club welcomes it but to really slake my thirst I am not sure you want me to do that here " he let a gloved hand trail up Bink's arm. So at the lest I can hold this drink they make here and blend in with the others and enjoy being with you .
James Binks-Rakosi giggles brightlyand holds up hobbes. "And Hobbes too! don't forget hobbes!" He shook his feet as he spoke and each bunny head bounced about with a strange bit of enthusiasm.
Jehan snorted again and leaned his head into the bouncing Hobbes," but when I nibble on Hobbes I get all that orange fuzzy on my tongue and you wont let me lick it off on you ."
James Binks-Rakosi gags and flops back onto the couch. "ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!" he thre his arms up, with hobbes and shielded his eyes. "That is so gross, Jehan! gordy gross!!"
Jehan snickered softly and walked gloved fingers down his thigh." suuuuuure you say that now .
"i saw that always!!! I dun want orange fuzz licked on me!" He kicked bunny feet itnothe air and blushed to the attention his thigh received from gloved hands. "Hobbes doesn't liek it either! we prefer bubbly bubbled baths, thank you!"
Deoridhe returns with a plate in either hand. In one hand - the jackpot - a variety of cookies and a shot glass filled with milk. In the other hand, a large glass of milk, a blisskey, and something white in a tumbler all leaning against each other to not fall. Her tongue is sticking out form between her teeth as she focuses on not dropping anything; the glass-covered plate is beginning to shake slightly.
Jehan focused as he was on Bink and watching him with hooded gaze he still felt that approaching movement and turned with a blink and then a slight start as he saw Deo with her load . He was trapped under Bink's legs but when she got close ehough he reached over to snnag the plate and shot glass so she could rearrange the other drinks before they spilled. he set the plate on Bink's stomach," you should have asked for a tray .. I am sure they would have been more than willing to loan you one. Be a real waitress that way . ...and thank you .
James Binks-Rakosi made a soft oomph! sound as he was used as a table. But then Hobbes didn't seem to mind. He bounced from Bink's face to the plate and did happy happy hobbes dances on the motherload of all cookie plates!
Deoridhe wrinkles her nose at Jehan's comment. "I've seen what the staff here wear and I /reeeeally/ don't think that's my style." Once the cookie plate is settled, she offers up the blisskey to Jehan and the big glass of milk to Bink. "The little one is for Hobbes," she adds, leaning over to snag a couple chocolate chip cookies.
Jehan took the drink with a slight incline of his head and then tilted it back again giving her a look over then a brow waggle," Oh I don't know. I think you would do it quite the justice...and hopefully Hobbes doesnt swim in his milk .
James Binks-Rakosi hobbes did get a bit dirty dancing on the cookies, but his shotglass was ok! Bink though had already drank down most his glass. He sighed out and set it o nthe couch edge wearing a proud mustach. He set hobbes agaist jehan's arm and took two cokies in each hand to devour down, and he would too. Bink had something of a bottomless pit when it came to his stomach.
Deoridhe blushes furiously at Jehan's comment. "I... um.... uh... well... um...." She drinks instead of trying to continue to reply, clearly nonplussed. "I'm going to explore a little," she says, then. "There's this whole other room... I want to see what's there." She flashes a grin neither of them are likely to see and turns to head back the way she came with her snack and drink.
Jehan managed to not chuckle and ruin that blush as he watched her and offered a slight toast to her," ok..have fun . I beleive we shall be here..Bink has a few cookies to consume" he glanced back to Bink," hrm.. maybe not a long while though
James Binks-Rakosi rawr rawr raaamm nomh namh!" was all BInk said as he ... sounded much like a blue fuzzy monster on a children's show. the cookeis too went jsut as fast as they had on that show. He was also quiet sure hobbes didn't mind him drinking his shotglass or his portion of the cookies. now his tummy was a bit crumb overed, his mouth still had that milky mustach and he burped on child-like contentment.
Deoridhe giggles. "They have more at the bar," she replies lightly, skipping a little to get around a moving clump of people and setting off across the room.
Jehan could only grin at Binks childish enthusiasm as he leaned back agsitnt hat leather couch ," Someone is going to accuse me of not feeding you someday .”
James Binks-Rakosi giggled softly as he sat upand wiped hsi milk mustache with his sleeve, " You mean.. they don't already?" He blushed and he curled himself up more agaisnst Jehan's side.
Jehan playfully plucked at Bink's collar on his jacket freeing some crumbs," yes.. when they see how well you feed me some say that I dont feed you enough . I suppose that is why I am constantly shoving food at you .
James Binks-Rakosi nodded gently, " cause oyu like to eat, therefore so do I!" he clapped his hands and kissed at jehan's cheek. "But you haven't lately, and I'm a bit glad for that. not that I don't like it but.. well.. yeah...It's nice not to sometimes."
Jehan gently laid fingers on Bink's knee and glanced away watching the others in the room but distantly for a long moment," I promised you I would not let you be hurt but daily you are being hurt. I do not want to add my own bite to that till I can make sure to make you safe and happy .
" oh.. then.. how about we head home then? I know it is early, but this way if we head home now.. no one will hurt us and we'll just amke it there without any problems. Maybe.. we can stop o nthe way to play i nthe water?"
Jehan Rakosi looked back to Bink giving him that molten look . that love that would feed him through centuries and he slow nodded. " there is a path that can go near the water. have you been there?
" no.. I haven't really been aroudn teh city. I've... been too scared to leave the paths I know. I have found the fountain however!" He smiled weakly and gave a gentle shrug. "You know me..."
Jehan patted that leg once more and then scooped him up to hug him tightly a moment as he nuzzled into that spot of neck and shoulder taking in a deep breath before he moved to set him to his feet," yes.. I know you as you know me . Come.. I will show you what I found and thought of you .”
James Binks-Rakosi bobbled in place and beamed at jehan," alright, but... let me leave my shoes here so they won't get dirty!" He left Hobbes too on the couch as he bent over and took off both slippers to st on either side of him. Now barefoot, Bink was ready to go.
Jehan even had a fond look for those feet. funny as that was to say . Though his own legs were encased in all the leather still taking Bink's hand he led him out the door to go find water once more.
*
Jehan Rakosi glanced out once at the deep water. it was only years of training that let him not shudder as he turned his back on it to smile at Bink," There you go love...”
James Binks-Rakosi made a bright and gleeful sound as he started to peel off his jacket and shirt. AAs each came flying off he woudl in turn pass them back to Jehan. He'd learned better than to ask him to join him, but that didn't mean that Jehan didn't like watching him swim!
Jehan chuckled softly as his arms soon filled up with clothing and he made a show of carefully folding them before he set them on the grass and settled next to them. The change in viewing angle would help him not think about the water being so deep .
The last part he left him was his glasses and gently kiss to his cheek before with a laugh and frolic, there Bink went, diving inoto the depths. Bink held no fears of the watery darkness that was the sea water. Itt seemed to wash away all his woes, his fears and worries. it made him play harder, seem more alive, though in it held that twinge of lonliness that he could not share with Jehan. Not physically anyway.
Jehan pulled up his knees to rest his chin on them . even though he didn't smile there was still a peace to the eye which bright;y in the dark watched the splashing figure. Now this, this was an emotiion that was the sweetest of flvours to him and one he loved feeding back to bink later . when he was able to touch him he woulld take a sip to savour and save for when bink needed it back a gain
*
James Binks-Rakosi had his fill and swimmy swam all over, under the depths through the waves, around the cliff ledgings along sandy banks. He swam and laugh and laugh and swam until he couldn't paddle anymore. Exhausted out he floundered to the shore and crawled up the banks to drip sea water all over Jehan as he hugged the vampire an flopped onto him with w playful squeak! "i'm cold.."
Jehan snickered and huged him back tightly before standing . He kept him in his arms though lifting him with him." curl close then love and I shall take us home . make a hot hot bubble bath for us to get the salt off you then we shall go to bed.
*
James Binks-Rakosi was busy chattering on to himself about seaweed and braiding said seaweed into Jehan's hair. "...now you have the sea on yooooou!" he finally sang once the seaweed stuck to Jehan's hair. He liked being carried and by the time he was done.. they were practically at their home doorway.
James Binks-Rakosi scoffs playfully. "I'm only high cause you're holding me up too much!" he wiggled in Jehan's arms and blinkeddown at the box at his feet. "But your guitar looks much better on the high shelf, its out of the way and can be seen! it;s lovely. the case jsut hides it. Side Mon Cher appreciates it greatly.." he knew better than to ask Jehan to pick it up. He'd most likely scoot the box inside with them. "You think the box will want to take a bath with us...?"
Jehan managed to open the door with Bink in arms...afterall he had a lot of practice at that too and he pushed the box inside with one booted foot," I am not bathing with a box. It can wait in the hall for when we are done.. or tomorrow night. there is no heartbeat in it.
James Binks-Rakosi wriggled out of jehan's arms to walk up to the box.. and poke it. It was a rather boyish poke. If he had a stick, he would most assuredly be poking the box with a stick. "Can't I open it now.. I wanna know wha it is.."
Jehan was already stripping out of the now salt stained silk shirt he had been wearing and he smiled crookedly," It will bother you the rest of the night if I say no.. so I suppose for our own peace.. I shall say yes.
James Binks-Rakosi giggled as he pushed the light box around as he sat o nthe floor and took his time inspecting it. This was the most gentle part of the whole process then came unwrapping. THis was one of the most violent acts Bink could ever do. Ripping open boxes. He ripped back the last fo the tape so hard the box exploded open and threw packing peanuts everywhere!!
Jehan had to giggle as he leaned there on the wall and watched Bink, there were times he thought just giving him boxes to unwrap would be a great joy . He had to look around at the packing peanuts went flying ," your beast will be here in a moment I am sure to investigate. I think it will have almost as much fun as you
James Binks-Rakosi was diving through the packing peanuts, giggling as he 'played'. that was until he found the object of his seeking. And just like that.. out came a stuffed animal... grey kitty. "goodness!" He chirped as he held the kitty up high, " it's like a full grown version of MOn Cher without the ORange!" and on cue.. in scrambled the little mon cher. hissing its happy hell to jehan before trying to kneed his boots. then as kitten tend to do.. he got distracted by packing peanuts and there went the cleanliness that was the entrance room.
Jehan had to fight bback the urge to hiss in return to the kitten. That would only bring Bink down and that laughter was far too precious to waste. He grimaced slightly and shook his head then went to look while Bink was distracted to see if there was any indication of who the gift was from .
James Binks-Rakosi was busy petting on Mon Cher and his new plush that he was affectionately calling 'peanut'. Taking both up into his arms he left the packing peanuts sea behind them as they made their way upstairs for a bath and bedtime... perhaps not iin that direct order
Jehan held up that little card and gave a small smile even though brows furrowed slightly . Then he too headed upstairs and he laid the card on the bookshelf before he headed into the bathroom himself," the cats are not in the tub with us !”
