Chapter 9:Leaving
{'' B. P. R. D '' Roof Top}
''Nu-a-da'', a voice puffed next too his ear.
The elfen prince swore in elvish as he whirled to stare at Lillian. She stood against the old door luaghing shaking her head.
''Your jumpy'', she luaghed brushing hair form her face ,'' What are you doing up here?''
She looked around them exaimening the dirty city tops.
''For peace away from you half breed'',he said.
But his eyes still swept over her, lingering on her face before he turned away. A few seconds later arms slid around his waist and Lillians head lay against his back.
''Thank you for saving me'',she said.
He was silent his hand laying over hers staring at the darkening sky.
''I am always glad too see you'',he said abruptly,''I loved you even when you made a mess of things''.
''You don't seem like it'',her voice was muffled, he sighed turning around to look at her face, she still looked guant from their ordeal, guanter still in the black, floor length cloak shielding her from any light.
''I am not as well as my sister showing affection''', he admitted,''Be patient with me Lillian ''.
''Four'',she said happily leaning back too look at him.
He gave her a cold stare making her smile at him.
''Pox agreed too sleep in the library'',she said smoothing her finger tips over his face,'' He likes watching Abraham swim''.
Nuada smirked.
''He believes the fish man will be dinner'', he said curling his hand around the back of her neck.
''Hellboys cat had a litter of kittens'',she suplied her lips twitching into a smile,''Do you want a kitten?''
''The cat stays and you shall go'',he replied tugging her forward.
''A girl'', she said tilting her face to him eyes wide and imploring ,'' Liz can't take any more''.
''I will think about it'',he said,'' Do not push the matter''.
Her eyes closed as they sat on the building edge in slence listening to the sound of the city below .
''It takes time too heal wounds, especially the ones we can not see'', Lillian said suddenly looking up at him,'' Doesn't it Nuada?''
He remained silent as she placed her hand onto his clenched one , after a moment it relaxed and held hers.
''The fey world needs a king '', Lillian continued,'' The world is beginning too learn about us once more... our world needs some one too lead''.
''My title was stripped'', his voice was tight and bleak.
''But not mine'', Lillian leaned against his arm closing her eyes,'' You would be a glorious king if you learn too be more patient-''.
''It will be seen as a weakness'',he snapped.
''No'', she placed a restraining had on his arm,'' It is what your people need, to let them know you care about them''.
Nuada grouned running a hand through his hair.
''You sound like my sister'',he muttered.
They were silent once more watching the city around them darken and lights come flickeirng on.
''Was there a reason you came up here'', Nuada finally asked.
Lillian sighed straightening and interlocked her fingers.
''I'm going back home'',she said quietly.
Nuada looked at her his eyes narrowing,why?
''Papa has called me home,there is a gathering on a important subjet'',she said dejectively,''There will be a vote n it''.
''How long will you be gone'',he demanded grabbing her arm
''I do not know, I came up too say good bye'',she sighed,''Months at least, will you take care of Pox?''
''You are only worried about your demon being comfortable?'' Nuada demanded.
''And you'', she mumbled.
He sighed going back too the roof top taking her with him.
''Bye bye Nuada'', she kissed his cheek,''See you later, take care''.
He was quiet watching her disappear through the door. As it shut a whispered good bye followed her.
Nuada stayed on the roof watching as Lillian,in dark human clothes, slipped into a human taxi holding an case. He glanced up just in time for a drop of rain to hit his cheek. He watched through the pouring rain as the taxi pulled away and into the street.
''Brother?'' Nuala had come looking for him.
''Will she come back?'' he asked lowly.
''Perhaps...in time she will ''.
