The World of Night

[Musicman247]

"Well, to be fair I just met you and you already have me helping you meddle in the Kerns' business." Steven said.

[Kerr]

"I don't know." said Hastur. "This happens everywhere I go. I'm just trying to help people."

[Musicman247]

Spoiler:

If you want to put this on hold to focus on Vault, I'm okay with that. Just say so.

Steven laid on his side, reached out and put his hand on Hastur's shoulder. "I understand. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say you were a bad person or anything."

[Kerr]

"Look what I've gotten you into. Usually I just get myself in trouble, but this time....." said Hastur.

Spoiler:

It's fine. I might be a bit slow with my replies.

[Musicman247]

"I knew the risks going into it...okay, I didn't know all the risks. Being chased by an assassin wasn't something I had a contingency plan for, I admit," Steven smiled at Hastur, "but it's been fun at times, hasn't it? I mean besides the me trying to kill you and having two assassins try to kill us both. But even then, I've never had those kinds of experiences with anyone else."

[Kerr]

"Yeah, I'm not used to assassins either." said Hastur.

[Musicman247]

"Look at us. Makin' memories," Steven said, then chuckled.

[Kerr]

Hastur stood up. "I don't have friends. Just got one." said Hastur, leaving the room.

[Musicman247]

Steven wondered if he had said something wrong. "Did I say something? I'm...I'm sorry. Please come back." He waited to see if Hastur would come back or not.

[Kerr]

Hastur poked his head back though the door. "I thought you wanted to check on Lucy." said Hastur.

[Musicman247]

"Oh. Yeah, I do. You just didn't really give any indication of why you...you know what, nevermind. Let's check on Lucy." Steven walked out the door into the hallway and went back toward the stairs they had come up. They continued past them until they came to a large set of double doors. Steven knocked.

[The-Shadow-One]

No awnser came from the doors.

[Kerr]

"Will we go in?" asked Hastur.

[Musicman247]

"I guess so," Steven said, shrugging. He opened one of the doors and walked inside. "Madame? My lady? Are you here?"

[The-Shadow-One]

Lucy was on the bed, a extravagant heart shaped one, red covers, curtains made walls in the room.

[Kerr]

"You talk to her." whispered Hastur to Steven.

[Musicman247]

Steven approached the bed and caressed Lucy's shoulder. "My lady, I am home. I need to talk to you about something."

[The-Shadow-One]

Lucy murmured softly. She was asleep.

[Musicman247]

Steven put one knee on the bed in order to lean over to Lucy's ear. "Dearest one, wake up."

[The-Shadow-One]

Lucy stirred softly, She opened her eyes and looked at Steven, she smiled. "Steven.." She murmured. "how odd, I was just dreaming about you.."

[Musicman247]

Steven smiled, "Really? I dreamed about you, too." Foe a moment he forgot why he was there and just stared into Lucy's eyes. "Oh, you remember Hastur, right?" Steven gestured to Hastur. "He and I were attacked by an assassin that claimed to be sent by the Memie Helm. We wondered, well, I wondered if you knew anything about it."

[The-Shadow-One]

"Lady.. Mena?" Lucy murmured. "N.. No.. I.. did not.."

[Justice knight]

Lucifer was standing next to Ivory.
"So....."

[The-Shadow-One]

Ivory smiled. "Yes?" He said grinning.

[Kerr]

"Well your life may be in danger." said Hastur.
