Acension city

[Rayleonarde]

Ray thought, as he fell. She...she let me go? I...I guess she...she is trying to help me.

Giovanni moved swiftly, and caught Ray.

[Aconitum]

Acon ducked back inside her window and slammed it shut.

[Rayleonarde]

Giovanni dropped Ray onto the floor, and stomped on him. "Disobey me!? You're lucky you're my son."


Ray yelped, and curled up.

[Aconitum]

Magnolia cringed and grabbed Giovanni's arm. "Whoa there."

[Rayleonarde]

Giovanni turned to Magnolia. "Yes?"


Ray remained curled up, and wheezed as he tried to catch his breath.

[Aconitum]

Magnolia sighed. I think he's learned his lesson."

[Rayleonarde]

Giovanni sighed, and knelt next to Ray. "This woman has stayed my hand, Ray. You will be thanking her, either gifts or a written thank you will suffice." He slapped Ray, and stood. "I'm going home, you can crawl." Giovanni climbed into his car, and drove away.


Ray gasped, and after a few moments, sat up shakily. "T-Thank you, miss."

[Aconitum]

Magnolia sighed. "Hop in my car. I'll take you."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray shook his head. "I-I...I don't want to go home. C-Can you take me to my apartment? It's just...just down the street." He stood, shakily. "I-I...thank you."

[Aconitum]

Magnolia nodded. "Alright. Don't mention it." She smiled.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray looked around. "W-Where's your car, miss?"

[Aconitum]

Magnolia motioned for Ray to follow as she made her way to a bright red mustang.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray followed along, but leaned against the mailbox near the Mustang. He panted, and coughed.

[Aconitum]

Magnolia ran around to Ray's side and opened the door. "Alright, love?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray smiled. "A-A little trouble breathing, t-that's all. Thank you...honestly."
