stung

[leschath.livejournal.com]

[Here, have a Milo. He's back in his cloth, all shiny and proud but he actually looks more irritated than when he was stuck in another reality. Anyone who's sensitive to aura's and such can have a blast of nasty Cosmos as he enters. If you get too close Milo's Cosmo might even paralyze you a bit. It's sharp, cutting, kind of like being cut by the wind. Milo's not going to hurt anyone though unless you piss him off. Appearing with him is a chunk of a pillar at the perfect size to use as a stool.]

Fate so hates being tempted. I need to learn to remember that. My temple fell quite literally, besides that it still stinks of roses.

And Leo has volunteered to "observe" me. Goddess give me patience so that I don't end up murdering him in his sleep.

...this is perhaps a sign that I need a vacation. Someplace miserable maybe, Delos better yet Erimomilos. If only it wouldn't be taken as a sign of running away. As it is this place is my refuge for the moment and it doesn't even pass time.

No one tell me to meditate.

[Milo sits down on his pillar and glares into space.]

Perhaps a rose ate the keystone. Or the universe just didn't like Li.

Well...I don't think it'd be surprising which I prefered between blood and roses.

[lamb_of_gold]

I would think it the roses that caused the collapse - it seems every 'wrong' that occurred in our absences instantly righted, so unless Scorpio was in the process of falling as Li left, I doubt it would have fallen on you purposefully.

Regardless, how long do you think it will take to repair? More importantly, how long will you be stuck with Aioria. You two don't always get along...

[leschath.livejournal.com]

It didn't fall on me, it was just a pile of marble when I got back. It was probably falling as Li left. Or Fate saw it fit to taunt me.

...Perhaps a month? The foundation is still there, I need to clear it out and rebuild it.

[lamb_of_gold]

Hmm. Well then I suppose it doesn't matter then.

A month with the lion, hm? Good luck.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Thanks Mu, your well wishes will do me wonders.

[lamb_of_gold]

If I were in a position to help, I would.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

It's my temple. I can handle it. Leo is a different matter.

[lamb_of_gold]

I suppose. Have the roses stopped, at least?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Yes, they're back up where they belong. Though the incidents will be reported to Athena.

[lamb_of_gold]

Good.

Tea?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

...well I suppose I shouldn't get drunk now so tea will be fine.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Vanishes and reappears a moment later with a pot and two cups.] Here we are.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

[Eyes the cup, oh dear is this social hour?]

And are you fighting off six Gold Saints on your end?

[lamb_of_gold]

Yuyuko had the sense to flee, so I reappeared in a dark corner of the Colosseum. It was quite the trick to get out.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

And the hostility is gone? [takes a sip of the tea.]

[lamb_of_gold]

It seems that way. I spoke with Aldebaran and he honestly cannot remember the last twelve hours. Neither can anyone else I spoke to except Kiki.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Well aren't you lucky.

[lamb_of_gold]

Well, we're both stuck with slight paranoia if it makes you feel any better.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Not really. It's not paranoia if it's true.

[lamb_of_gold]

Even if it was a part of this experiment, controlling more than six gold saints simultaneously is no easy feat, I do not expect a repeat performance. Kiki was able to tell something was seriously amiss with them, so I'm sure he and I will be able to feel it should it come around again.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

As far as I'm concerned Aioria's reaction is his own, I don't blame him considering the events.

And Li plays a poor Scorpio.

[lamb_of_gold]

Aioria is like that, I suppose. It's impossible to fault him for it.

Does he now? Were 'you' handing out candy or somesuch?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Li is a poor flirt. Plus he possibly was not enough of a bastard.

Aioria would be able to tell, we've gotten into more than a few scuffles. It's good that he didn't linger around Aioria though since I doubt he would have been able to handle it.

[lamb_of_gold]

Li probably did a better job than I would have.


It's good I told him to get at least two saints between himself and those roses, then.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Probably, I'd bet that you're a terrible flirt.

I wish you hadn't told him to go to an empty temple. Gemini temple is less than pleasant.
