A mortal in the Band (Closed)

[TertiusHuman]

He knew that the last time there were cinnamon sweets that tickled his fancy and which the children enjoyed, but the hankering for something sweet with the strange taste which came with the red licorice was something new. The shop actually did stock the sweets he craved and he took it all. He was sure that the clerk was one of the shifters, which explained the strange look he was given of course, but he believed that it was largely ignored because of the presence of Eden and the marked bus.

When they were back on the road, a thought occurred to him and he had to chuckle, "You know, we just let a perfect opportunity slip. You, me and a bathroom stall."

 

[Asa]

Very funny.

She smirked and leaned to kiss him softly.

We will have more than enough time later for that love. We really ned to get to the venue to sleep while Luna and her crew sets everything up for us.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He laughed softly

"Hey, what is a road trip without a little bit of adventure?"

He grew a bit serious after his joke, "But yes, you are right, there will be enough time for all of that once we are free from the threat and claws of my brother. Then we can finally travel the world like we always wanted to and not fear any wooden stakes in the dark."

 

[Asa]

She nodded reaching to rest a hand on his cheek her eyes never fully leaving the road.

We will be free of him and that horrible path and past him and your mortal father caused my love.

She slowed the bus nodding with her head to a small welcome committee including a very large old man the Golden Eagle in human form standing in the lead.

Hello old friend.

She spoke with a nod opening the bus door as Luna was walking towards the front of the bus as well as if knowing where they were and who was there.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He smiled at her, "I am looking forward to you finally having your freedom. You deserve it as much as everybody who have been sucked into this maelstrom."

As the came to a halt, he moved deeper into the bus, he was not scared, but he did not wish for the younger of the group to make any brash moves which might end up badly for them all.

 

[Asa]

So is the ancient one correct? Has the honorable one returned to you?

She nodded to the old man.

Yes he has. His host however is young and still learning our world.

The old man nodded and walked away as Luna talked to the cubs and the others then took over driving for the rest of the trip.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He waited for Eden to handle the meeting, thankful that Luna had woken up to deal with the cubs and take over the driving as the daylight hours was approaching.

"I hope they got enough of a sniff of my smell, don't want to get to a show and having to have a group of people smelling me."

He gave a slight grin

 

[Asa]

Luna laughed. The cubs are glad this time we found you young enough to maybe hand out with them and have fun not some old stuffy man.

The eagle is glad you are whole even if you are in the body of "a child" as far as he is concerned.

Eden laughed.

 

[TertiusHuman]

"I have seen the fun what cubs find enjoyful and . . ."

He paused and then grinned, "You know what? I think that is not half a bad idea, maybe after the show we could have run and see what mischief we can get in and out of."

He got up and embraced Eden, "So what do you say love of my eternal soul? Time for another daylight sleep and a night time of working?"

 

[Asa]

Yes, let's sleep for now beloved. Luna, they will not be a bad influence, will they?

She laughed a little as she walked with him back to the bedroom area.

We don't have to sleep right away if my beloved is feeling younger and hungry.

She winked as she pulled him into the room.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He chuckled

"When it comes to you, I clearly will always be hungry and never feel old at all."

He willingly went with her and pulled the divider close behind the two of them.

"I just hope we manage to stay out of my brother's clutches by keeping on moving like this, I know he already caught up with us once, but it was not him in person and he also needs to rest during the day."

 

[Asa]

Luna smirked.

Most are too afraid of you to cause too much trouble. Helps that Shayla tells every new young pack to beware of you... Something about devouring the souls of the stupid rash or easily manipulated.

She laughed closing the divider and turning to face him with a wink.

Leave it to their healer elder to scare the young. So much like grandmother.

Pulling him.close she kissed him.softly.

This time it is truly you here fully. We will win.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He rested his arms around her, returning her gentle kiss

"Perhaps in years gone by I could have been the devourer of silly pups and the drinker of wayward souls."

He smiled as he looked into her eyes, "But for now, we need to regain our freedom."

 

[Asa]

She curled in close smiling eyes closed her head resting against she chest and shoulder for a moment.

Yes the tour and our continued eternal freedom.
