Acension city

[Rayleonarde]

The fake Ray shrugged. "I dunno. Keep me around until you get your man back? I don't know."

[Aconitum]

Acon clenched her teeth in anger as she sat down on the edge of her bed. "Real helpful."

[Rayleonarde]

The fake Ray shrugged. "Fine, just shout if you need me." He dissipated, waving at Acon.


Ray smiled as the bus approached, holding the money in his paws.

[Aconitum]

Acon sighed and cried into her paws. After a moment, she stood and went to the bracelet, picking it up and tossing it into her jewelry box. 

[Rayleonarde]

Ray climbed up into the bus, and paid for fare. He took a seat, alone, and road back to Giovanni's mansion.

[Aconitum]

On the bus, Ronald sat with his face in his paws. He shook from the cold and was covered with dirt from living outside the past few days.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray glanced at Ronald, but then returned his gaze to the window.

[Aconitum]

Ronald noticed Ray look his way and sneered at him.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray flinched, but tried to not show it.

[Aconitum]

Ronald huffed and got up, moving to the seats behind Ray and glared at the back of head.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray flinched, and looked at his shoes, obviosly nervous.

[Aconitum]

Ronald started picking pebbles from the bottem of his shoes and flicked them at Ray's ears.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray flinched at every pebble, and sighed in relief when the bus stopped. He stood, and walked off the bus, thanking the driver before disembarking.

[Aconitum]

Ronald smirked and crossed his legs under him as the bus rolled away.

Herman sighed and leaned back in his office chair. After a while, he picked up his phone and dialed Giovanni.

[Rayleonarde]

Giovanni heard his phone ring, and answered. "Hello?"



Ray stepped into Giovanni's mansion, and ran to his room.
