Nuala finally knew where her brother was, and was fully intent on going there and demanding that he gave her what she required. She had no doubt that she would succeed; after all he was never very good at telling her no. She knew he disagreed with her, but in the end, seeing as their kind was slowly disappearing he would side with her (or so she hoped).
She stood in the entrance of the building; she was still outside as she had not dared enter the building as of yet. She had easily and quietly disposed of the guards, making sure that if she had been seen no one was left alive to sound off an alarm or shout out a warning. She had already decided that if it became necessary she would dispose of anyone inside as well.
She quickly scaled up the building using the drainpipe. She was certain that although using the front door would have been the easier choice of the two, entering through the front door would have attracted too much attention and raised her risk of being caught. None of these were good when you were sneaking around. As she scaled up the building she listened. As she crouched beneath his window once she found it, she could hear him talking to someone. Instead of going with her original plan of using his window to gain access to the rest of the building, she just crouched there and listened.
"I'm frightened. Her hatred for humans has clouded her mind. She will not listen to reason, she is determined to end them, at any cost; despite that enough blood has been spilt over man's quest for domination. She will stop at nothing to see them destroyed."
Nuala balanced very carefully so that she could see through the window. Her brother sat on the bed along side a blue creature. She marveled at how beautiful her brother looked, dressed in his usual red and black garments. She longed to touch his pale skin or run her fingers through his long blond hair. Any sort of physical contact to comfort him, to try to get him to see that her plan; although it was filled with death and destruction, was the only choice that they had for freedom. She watched as realization crossed his features. He could feel her. She knew that he would not be able to tell her thoughts or her hearts desires, they needed physical contact for that. All he could tell was that she was close.
"I don't understand, she is close. And yet she does not show herself. I don't know what she is waiting for but I don't like it." As he spoke he had begun to slowly lean on the other man. "I am tired and I am frightened. I just want it to end."
Abe couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He knew what waiting for the inevitable felt like and it was never fun. As he smoothed back Nuada's hair, he placed a kiss on the top of Nuada's head. He felt the prince finally relax. Abe leaned back so that his back was up against the headboard; he figured that the extra support for his back couldn't hurt.
Nuada scooted over so that he was curled up in Abe's lap. He placed a hand over Abe's chest, with his head resting comfortably on the blue man's shoulder. Abe listened to the prince sleep. He knew that as a general rule elves didn't sleep that much. But he knew that Nuada was suffering from nightmares; so any comfort he could offer the elf he was more than happy to do so.
Nuala jumped from her perch back to the ground. By the looks of things, it seemed to her that her brother had chosen a mate. She knew that if things went in her favour then they might get the chance. She wanted her brother to be happy, which was why she decided that if something happened and she had to place him in a secure facility she would make sure that the blue creature was put with him.
