"My invitation to you was based not on usefulness, but more out of chemistry. Your gentleness is what makes you unique. If you got rid of it, you would not be Riad anymore."
He closes his eyes, shaking his head a little. "I suppose you're right." When they open again, the crimson is less vibrant. "How is everyone anyway?"

"I suppose you're right. How is everyone anyway?"
Stilling at the question, Ammiras's eyes waver before she reaches out and takes the glass in front of him, wincing as she tosses it back then sits near him, gaze dulling with the first lick of alcohol "They're good, what ones are left." she murmurs quietly, gaze finding the counter "We've lost Nisca, Calon, and Thresa."

He frowns at the movements, looking at the now empty glass. However, he was glad she took it and not him-- it had been at least a hundred years since alcohol passed his lips. Back before kind-hearted Ri reigned and a rather bitter counter part had the throne. "What happened?:

"What happened?"
"Thresa died of a heart attack, but.. Nisca and Calon just went missing, after I sent them to do an errand for me. It's been days." Ammiras whispers, eyes closing as pain flashes across her face "I can't sense them, either. I pray that they just got tired of us and left of their own accord."

"With all of the chaos that's been going on, with Lucifer's rising and the raise in other creature's activities among humans, I can guarantee that nothing good is happening," he replies, looking forward again. "But I hope that Nisca and Calon are all right."

"I fear they're dead." Ammiras whispers quietly, hand tightening around the glass before she stands abruptly, turning towards the door "I should be going, so you can get back to your lover."

"I fear they're dead. I should be going, so you can get back to your lover."
"I'll keep my eyes and ears open for any information, Ammi," he says as she stands, and he looks at her. "And be careful out there. There's no telling what else is lurking in the shadows-- he wasn't the only one we should've been worried about." He can't bring himself to say Lucifer's name aloud.

Stilling with her back to him, Ammi's face shadows for a moment before she turns back to him, smile crossing her face, eyes closing halfway "You worry about your family, and I'll worry about mine. Okay?" she murmurs, voice a low warning as she turns back to the door and passes through it quickly before he can see the tears pricking in the corners

Riad watches her leave, gaze tired as he runs a hand over it. He waits a few moment, gathering both his thoughts and his strength, though his eyes move to the bottle of rum again, and the temptation is strong. However, he ignores it, closing his eyes and focusing on only one thing: Finding Carter.

Form changing to that of a man as she makes her way out onto the street, she inhales shakily before she takes off running, dodging around people to get home, feeling odd. Collapsing against a post in the fenced in drive to her mansion, she presses her hand to the pad outside to open the doors before stumbling in as the gates start to close again. Exhaling shakily, she straightens, hand wrapping around the doorknob before she notices something through the window. Eyes widening, her face drains of color and she starts to turn back, crying out as the door blows outward with the blast of impact, windows shattering as fire billows out. Hitting the ground hard, a gasp forces its way past her lips as she hears something crack, vision turning dark, trapped beneath the door, smoke rising from her home, arm lightly burnt

Walking with his instrument case in hand, Rourke runs a hand through his hair, passing some of the much larger homes. However, a sharp explosion catches his attention and he recoils, coming to a gate of the home. He looks over, and upon seeing someone under a door, he sets his case down and quickly scales the gate, landing roughly on the other side. "Sir!" he says as he runs over, skidding to a stop and dropping to his knees. "Hang on, don't move." His dark woody gaze searches for a way to move the heavy thing off without hurting the man (which, unknowingly was actually a woman)

"Sir! Hang on, don't move."
Pulled out of the darkness because of a voice yelling near her, Ammiras slowly opens her eyes, faze pained as her gaze finds the man, skin reverting back to normal as her strength starts to fade "He... Help... Family..." she whispers, face pale as she raises her free arm, the one that's burnt to point towards the house, hand shaking as tears pool in her eyes as she recalls seeing everyone in there unconscious right as the bomb went off "Please..." voice breaking, she presses her hand to her mouth, fingers red with blood, fire glinting in her irises as she watches her home burn, tears slipping down towards her neck

"He... Help... Family... Please..."
Starting at her sudden change, he follows her gaze and he purses his lips, hesitating, though he turns back to the door and swiftly but gently moves it. "How many."

"How many."
Biting back a scream when the door is moved and the pressure on her is gone, Ammi turns her head to the side and coughs weakly, tears slipping out at the pain, leg bent the wrong way beneath her. "Twelve." she whispers, crying as she tries to get up, body failing her, despair on her face "They're all burning. I should have been here." voice breaking, she covers her eyes with her hurt hand, teeth gritted as she sobs quietly

"Twelve. They're all burning. I should have been here."
"Stay here, and do not move," he murmurs, straightening as he slips off his coat, draping it over her shoulders. "I'll be back." He runs over to the building, pausing as his gaze searches the flames a moment before he edges his way inside, pushing his sleeves up to his elbows.
