Hell was alive with rumors and stories. If she wanted to find out anything, all she needed to do was step outside of her tiny room. Thorn was the talk of the demons, at least this week. They all seemed to want to know where she had gone. The theories, however, were absolutely ridiculous. She was even sure she had heard somebody saying that she had disappeared with Lucy, of all creatures.
Don rubbed her forehead and sighed, sitting in the middle of the bed, legs brought up to her chest. She hadn't seen Eto in far too long, and the only times Amy called to her was when she needed her. She hadn't had any explanations and it was bothering her. Was she just not worth the time? The words?
She pressed her forehead into her knees, running her fingers through her grey hair. She held no illusions. She didn't want to bother with that. She wasn't sure what she wanted, but at least in her own skin, she could feel some degree of comfort.

Eto had spent the evening before speaking with Amy and her wraith friend Nuko. Offering the oddly titled prince the explanations she was expecting and accepting the golden eyed Gangrel's sage advice and music.
It had been a busy couple of evenings, but he had thought of her often. Wondering what his Devil companion had been up too since she'd left the Manor in such a huff. It didn't take him long to zero in on the portal to Don's little room, nor did it take long for his delicate form to materialize there, a soft sort of smile on his face.
"Hey." He called out softly, seeing the little devil curled up on her bed. Concern replaced the soft smile on his face as he made his way over towards her,wrapping an arm around her if she'd let him. "What's goin' on Don?" He asked quietly, running his fingers through her hair tenderly.

Don felt the portal ripple and her shoulders stiffened. She only knew of a few people who could get into her little home, and in that moment, she wasn't sure if she wanted to see any of them. Lucy had tried to get her attention a few times and if he thought he could just show up... she might strangle him.
Yet, it was Eto's voice that she heard. His arm slipped around her shoulders and his fingers moved through her hair. She startled slightly but still managed to look up at him. There was a moment of silence before she smiled, a distant and tired smile.
"What're you doin' here?" She murmured with a furrow of her brows. She turned her head, resting her cheek against her knees. She wanted to be angry but there wasn't much for her to actual be angry about. She didn't like not being included but that just hurt. That wasn't something to actually be mad about.

"Sorry it took so long, I had to talk to Amy first. I didn't want to share anyone's secrets with anyone else." He continued to caress her hair, letting the other hand move up and down her back. "Are you okay? I've never seen you like this before." He smiles just a bit placing a kiss on her shoulder.
Eto genuinely wished to comfort his fiery companion, but how? She seemed so shut off, so secluded that it worried him. "What's going on my fiery vampire fucker?" He asked, trying to alleviate some of the tension on the room. He pressed his lips against her neck gently, brushing up to her cheek.
"Relax little devil. I'm here, I've got you." He purred, into her ear, wrapping his arms around her once again. He pulled her into his chest, resting his chin gently on her head. "Rest little one."

She couldn't help but snicker against his lips on her throat. She tilted her head to one side, letting him touch her as he wanted. It didn't take much to get her to unfold, to reach her fingers out and touch his skin, to feel him beneath her heat. She let out a soft sigh, pressing herself into him.
"How's the Frost Bitch, anyway?" She murmured, still avoiding his questions. She knew it was stupid and petty, childish, and she didn't want to admit to that. "Did she recover from Thorn's touch of doom?"

Eto sighed quietly, relaxing into her warmth. "The oddly titled prince is fine, it wasn't Thorn's touch that harmed her, that probably did her a lot more good than she's willing to admit. It was the heat." He sighed again kissing up and down her neck slowly.
"What happened Don?" He asked quietly. "I've never seen you so... Down." There was obvious concern in his tone as he continues to touch and kiss her.

"I don't like being left in the dark. And Princey Prince Prince underestimates me." She sighed softly at the feel of his kisses, fingers moving to trail idly through his hair. She seemed to be relaxing, which was surprising for the fiery demoness.
"Somebody could have told me what was going on, y'know. Instead of throwing out your fiend and then random touchy touch stuff and heat... And, of course. You coulda told me your friend was in trouble." She chuckled at that, fingers tightening in Eto's hair. "Haven't you heard? The great Thorn, Queenie of the Fiendies. She ran off with Lucy the Lucifer." Dramatically, she threw her hand across open space, before falling into a fit of giggles. "Please... demons are dumb."

Eto listened and chuckled just shaking his head. "Lucy doesn't want to even try to get into Thorn's pants." He sighed a bit, his fingers running through her hair once again, the gesture meaning to comfort her, was also comforting the fiery haired vampire. "I couldn't really tell you more than I did. Just as your secrets aren't mine to tell, nor are Thorn's. I had no idea they would touch one another, usually they're both so... Formal?" He shrugged his shoulders a bit before curling up with her. "I'm not tryin' to keep you in the dark. Thorn rolled Amy, and Amy can't handle the heat Thorn produces..."

She did not protest as he curled up with her, fingers beginning to delicately trail across his shoulders and neck, back and forth in thoughtful curiosity.
"Rolled?"
At least that seemed to be all she was questioning.

The fiery haired vampire slowly moved to sit upright, pulling his knees up to his chest. He moved slowly, almost sluggishly, thinking about being rolled. He shivered a bit, and it most certainly was not because of the cold. "When Thorn needs to feed, she feeds on emotions, latent is how she normally works. She just feeds off what's in the air, but touch..." He paused for a moment, contemplating all the ramifications of explaining this to his fiery friend.
"When you burned down the bar, and I saw that creature..." He refused to call that creature a demon, or a devil or anything of the sort. He was a beast of the worst kind and he was going to be put down. "Thorn does it in the opposite direction, she pulls those emotions out, feeds on them and that becomes energy for her. She feeds on the negative emotions. When she really rolls you, you're numb, every emotion, every feeling is just sort of... Gone..." He shook his head a bit. "And Amy is a bucket of bad feelings you know?" He asked, resting his chin on his knees.

"Creature?" That was purposefully nonspecific. She wasn't certain what he was talking about. She knew, vaguely, that she could capture people in her mind through the use of her fire, but it was not something she had done often. The entire night at the bar was a blur in her memory, something long since passed and filed away for further observation at a later, safer date. That date just had not yet come.
"Amy?? Are we talking about the same silver-haired monstery Prince-y bitch?" Don's surprise was easily registered across her gaunt features, her eyes widening to an abnormally large size on her pretty little face. "BAD feelings? That chickee has so much control, she makes Saintly Saint look like ME!"

Eto nodded a bit. "Matrea... When I saw what he did..." He shook his head a bit, the movement was awkward, more a tilting with his chin still resting on his knees. "And Amy control's the emotions, it doesn't necessarily mean that she doesn't have them. Just that she doesn't display them. She bottles them up, and for Thorn, that's like the finest bottle of wine, and the strongest alcohol imaginable." He shuddered a bit.
Amy, what a bucket of crazy that one was. So uptight and sure that her way was the only way, and all she wanted to do was to love Octavian, and in doing so she was destroying him. Ruby eyes seemed to fade for a moment, their razor sharp focus slipping into something... Less. What was the oddly titled prince going to do when everything exploded around her?

Despite her rather blatant lack in intelligence, Don was an incredibly perceptive individual. She had flinched away from the Assamite man when he said her father's name, but her eyes, a burning ruby color, remained focused on his face. It was easy for her to recall what her father had done to her for far too many years. She remembered every detail of his face, every sensation his actions caused. Involuntarily, her body shuddered in repulsion, as if it could help her to get away from it.
Yet, as she was contemplating some sort of response - most likely some half-wit defense of the silver haired woman - Eto's eyes changed. Her head tilted to one side and then the other, curiosity welling inside her chest. What had him so focused like that? Or, rather, unfocused. Normally, his gaze was clear and precise.
"Whatcha thinkin' about?" she murmured, her arms tightening around him.

Eto's mind was far far away as she spoke, her words fluttering into his mind like a gust of wind after a long voyage. How could he explain the total feeling of being rolled, being so destroyed by an action that he had no emotional response too. He let out a soft sound, almost strangled and closed his eyes. "I can't explain this too you, why I know, and what I feel and have experienced. But I can show you, you can experience it, but I don't think you'll want too." He leaned his head back against his fiery little companion.
He'd seen her at her worst and he had no problems standing by her, could she see him at his and not recoil? He pondered that thought with the same almost empty vision he was gazing at the room with. "I can show you my Matrea, I can show you what he did to me. Hi name is Zelm, and he is the worst creature in existence. The only creature I actively avoid... But you do not have to suffer that experience if you choose not too." His voice was oddly hollow, not empty, there was obviously pain and fear there, but it was there only as a shadow of what it once was. Only as a shade of the pain it had caused him. Dulled like a sword that had seen to much war.

She continued her soft, careful stroking, staring down at the vampire in her arms. Every word hung heavy on her. His Matrea, he said... The very thought that anybody had touched him in a way even remotely reminiscent of her father made her entire body quiver with rage. Zelm, he said. She would find him. There was no questioning that. She knew very little about Eto's past, only what he had been willing to share, but the more he spoke...
"Yeah," she murmured, her voice trailing off. She wanted to share in this with him. Maybe it would help him, let him give her some of the burden of the memories. Her arms tightened around him, pinning him tight against her, and she buried her face in his hair.
