Chapter 21
Hello my dear fanfiction readers! I have returned! :3
Oh my god I am so sorry guys I haven't updated in so long *cries in corner* Im sorry everyone I've been feeling kinda down lately and it leads me to not wanna write and I apologize . I'll make sure this chapter is amazing to make up for my shit performance!
Anywho I'll shut up so I can get to the writing lol
The next morning dawned without any problems, which Tyki had to admit was a huge relief.
Both he and Eva slept peacefully through the night without drama or intrusion, something that hadn't happened in a while. Tyki was thankful that they could now get their sleeping patterns back on track after the excitement of the last few days, having feared for Eva's health and well-being. She needed time to be herself again and to take part in all the usual activities they used to do before they entered the ark. Quite frankly, he needed to as well. He was getting so sick of being his Noah-self all the time-he wanted a few days to be human for Eva's sake, and for the sake of his sanity. Not that he had a lot to begin with, but those little bits that remained in the harsh fabric of the Noah mind were very fragile. Tiny, but fragile. And probably taking a beating after the incidents with the exorcists. Sure, Eva did the job for him and ripped a few of them apart and that was pretty satisfying to watch, but he was ready to sink his teeth into something.
Tyki yawned lightly, pushing the thought back as he rolled over in his bed, bringing himself face to face with Eva. Instantly he felt her breath fanning his cheeks mingled with the familiar feeling of being watched. He fought a grin-of course she was awake already, and as usual she would debating on how to get him up. Falling back into that familiar pattern felt nice, something they hadn't been allowed in awhile due to all the strange events that had taken place. As usual, Tyki faked sleep, keeping his breathing light and even. That is, until she let out an incredibly annoyed sigh, dangerously close to his face. He couldn't help it-he burst into laughter, finally allowing his eyes to open so he could stare at her.
She glared back, but the anger held no actual weight. Her hair was a tussled mess around her face, her cheeks tinted pink as she let out little huffing noises and lightly whacked his arm. Tyki chuckled mischievously, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her against his chest, ignoring her protests. How easily this girl brightened up his morning,and with just the simple things she did or who she was. He wanted to make her just as happy as she made him, wanted to commit his life to it. He was fairly certain if he would wake up this way every day for the rest of his life, he would be an incredibly happy man. Eva let out a tiny sigh at his embrace, snuggling against his bare chest like a small cat would, seeming content. She always liked how warm he was, that much he knew. Always the simple things.
"Did you sleep well, angel?" He asked her, yawning lightly after he spoke.
She looked up at him with a smile, nodding in response.
Tyki grinned right back, planting a kiss on her forehead, "Good." He purred, sitting up in one swift motion, holding Eva in his grasp. She huffed lightly in protest, kicking her feet as he carried her over his shoulder before setting her upright on his dresser, her cheeks pink with embarrassment. Tyki chuckled at her annoyed expression, giving her his best gentleman's smile, "My my... I haven't known you to be so grumpy in the morning."
Eva stuck out her tongue childishly, I'm allowed to get grumpy when you carry me around like a sack of potatoes.
Tyki's grin was downright evil, "And what a lovely sack of potatoes you are~"
Eva made a huffing sound that managed to convey pure annoyance, folding her arms over her chest. Tyki snickered away, sauntering off toward his closet so he could start getting ready for them to leave. He was fairly certain Road was awake by now, and any second she would be knocking on the door demanding to be let in. There was also no doubt in his mind that Road would want dress up duty with Eva, since she fancied the younger girl to be a doll for her enjoyment. Wherever clothes were considered with Eva, Road gained all rights to it, wanting to pick out the outfits for her. Eva didn't mind, but Tyki was fairly annoyed. Eva wasn't a porcelain doll to be dressed up for Road's delight, though she was pretty enough for it.
As if on cue, a loud knock was heard on his bedroom door, followed by Road's muffled voice.
"Eva~? Are you awake?" She door opened in the next instant, Road skipping into the room without bothering to ask for permission. She took one look at Tyki's shirtlessness and made a disgusted face, "Oh gawd ew." She said flippantly, pretending to shield her eyes and moving toward Eva so she could cover her eyes as well, "Put on some clothes-we may be scarred for life."
Tyki rolled his eyes. Yeah right. He had a nice body and he knew it, "It's your fault for barging into my room." He stated pointedly, pulling on a shirt very slowly instead of using his powers... just so he could annoy her, "Next time I'll make sure mot to wear pants, so you'll learn your lesson."
Road made a noise of pure horror, gaping at him with open disgust, "Um, how about no?" She pulled Eva off the dresser, cuddling her protectively as she declared, "I will not have you walking around pants-less around this little angel!"
"Whatever you say." Tyki smirked, making a little shooing motion with his hand, "I'm assuming you came here to get her so your guys can get ready...so get to it. I want to leave soon, so I don't have time to listen to you complain at me about my half-nudity. Eva doesn't mind."
"That's because she doesn't know better!" Road complained, not seeming to notice Eva's confused look. But instead of pushing it further, she linked arms with Eva, pulling her from the room, "C'mon, Eva. let's leave this weirdo to get ready." She grumbled, tossing a glare over her shoulder and sticking out her tongue.
Tyki laughed at Eva's confused look, watching her follow Road without complaint but looking a little disheveled, "Have fun." He told her, grinning wickedly.
"Goodness! Sometimes Tyki amazes even me!"
Road was still grumbling even as she pulled Eva into her bedroom, a frown on her lips. Ugh. She did not need that image of her uncle shirtless in her head. Sure, he had a nice body, but ew. God. She would not understand how men could feel so comfortable walking around without clothes on. Though she had to admit, the thought of Tyki feeling so comfortable around Eva was delightful in its own way, since she was waiting patiently for them to get romantic for a while now. Speaking of, she had the privilege of explaining the dirty deed to Eva! The thought replaced her frown with a grin, her good mood returning. If there was one thing she knew she would enjoy, it would be explaining the birds and the bees to Eva finally, since the poor girl had been left in the dark her whole life on the subject. And, secretly, she was pleased that Tyki trusted her with such a task; he could have asked Wisely, who knew her head better, or Lulubell, a grown adult with intimate knowledge of the task. But he asked her, which showed the level of trust he had.
"Let's get you dolled up, shall we?" Road hummed lightly as she skipped to her closet, pulling out the dress she had been saving just for this occasion. It was dark blue, Lolita style, with a square neckline that would show a decent amount of cleavage and a corset bodice that laced in the back. It randomly cut off at the sleeves and turned to dark blue lace that traveled down to the elbows. The bottom cut off just above the knee, and with that she picked out a pair of lacey black stockings and a decent pair of boots. Road grinned; she hated to be full of herself, but she had made an excellent choice for Eva's attire. Blue would compliment Eva's light skin tone, and the corset would show off her curves more.
"Isn't it cute?" Road asked, beaming proudly when Eva nodded eagerly, "Blue is the perfect color for you. It'll bring out your eyes. Now, let's get you dressed."
She set the dress down on her bed, humming lightly again as Eva pulled off the camisole top she had worn to bed, having already gotten used to getting undressed around Road. They were both girls so it was fine, and Road didn't swing that way. Tyki would never let her dress Eva if she did. The thought had her grinning; wouldn't that be a fun prank to play on Tyki someday? Pretend she was romantically interested in Eva? She filed it away for future reference, feeling positively evil.
She was pulled out her even plans by the sound of Eva snapping her fingers to get her attention, so she looked up, smiling sheepishly, "Yes?" she asked.
Eva blushed, glancing down at her chest at one of the black lace bras Road had given her a few weeks ago, seeming embarrassed.
I don't think this fits, She signed with one hand, using the other one to hold the bra up.
Road blinked, hopping to her feet so she could come and check for herself, "Really?" She pulled it around and clasped it in the back for her, ignoring her embarrassed expression. She then came around to inspect closer, "Ahh I see." She grinned lightly, trying to relax Eva's nervousness; she looked kind of alarmed, like she did something wrong, "It's all good, Eva. You just went up a cup size, I think. Perfectly normal for a growing girl. I'll put that on out shopping list for today, and I think I might have your size...I just have to check my closet to see if Lulubell has any in here..."
She pranced back to her closet, rummaging through some drawers in the back and flinging out articles of clothing as she went. Eva giggled silently when Road carelessly flung a bra out onto her bookshelf in the corner, along with some socks and panties. Road definitly wasn't abashed in any way, so she didn't care. Again, they were both girls so it didn't matter.
"Aha!" She exclaimed finally, pulling out a red lace bra with a triumphant expression, "I guess my a-cups won't fit you any more, so I'm hoping we can use Lulubell's old b-cup for now, until we go shopping today. Don't worry its clean and yada yada." She pranced back to Eva, helping her clasp the new article of clothing behind her and adjusting the straps. She spun Eva around for closer inspection, smiling in delight when she saw the bra fit perfectly, "Yep, I was right. We'll need to get you new bras today."
Eva nodded slightly in agreement, giving Road a light smile as she examined the new bra in the mirror. Road grinned. She was happy that Eva was now gaining a proper sense for feminine attire, plus a desire to dress up in nice clothing like a normal girl would.
"Alright, let's get you in this dress." She said, pulling it off the hanger so she could pull it over Eva's head. It slipped on perfectly, and Road was right, the blue looked great next to Eva's fair complexion. Humming again, Road tied the corset tightly, but still giving Eva room to breathe. Eva took the offered black stockings, capable of pulling those on herself while Road put on her own dress, a cute pink and violet lace dress with plenty of ribbons. She spent a few minutes on Eva's hair, pulling it back in french braid with ribbons woven through out, topped off with a cute, mini black top hat that she clipped on leftmost side of Eva's head. She had picked it out herself, liking its little silver clockwork pieces. Plus it had a blue sash and lace flowers that matched Eva's dress.
"Perfect." She declared, watching Eva examine herself in the mirror, "If I do say so myself."
Eva turned to her with a beaming smile, twirling once in her dress and making Road giggle.
"Oh goodness..." Road pretended to sigh unhappily, putting a hand to her cheek, "Now everyone will notice how pretty Eva is and will ignore me."
Eva snorted lightly in disbelief, poking Road lightly in the side, you're way to pretty to be ignored.
"I know right?" Road said with a sudden evil grin, causing both of them to burst into giggles.
A knock sounded at the door, causing both girls to turn their attention away from their silliness. Tyki's voice followed soon after, sounding slightly impatient.
"Are you two done getting ready?" His voice grumbled through the hard wood, "I'm getting kinda bored out here."
Road exchanged a glance with Eva before rolling her eyes, skipping to the door and pulling it open to reveal Tyki standing there with his arms folded. He rose a brow at the state of her room, in which clothes of many different types were still scattered everywhere. Eva was clearly fighting a grin at his bemused look, her lips twitching when she realized that most of the pieces of clothing were bras. Road righteously didn't care about her uncle's opinion, so she looked him over, deeming that his classy outfit of the usual style was decent enough for public view. If it hadn't been? She would dress him herself, obviously. She hated it when he wore his hobo outfit-it was kinda gross.
"Love what you've done with the place." Tyki drawled casually, leaning against the doorframe as his eyes travelled over to Eva. His expression morphed from amusement to delight, "My my. Don't you look lovely." He remarked, holding out his hand towards her, which she accepted instantly.
Road smirked proudly, putting her hands on her hips, "I did a good job. Blue is totally her color."
Tyki grinned and nodded, brushing one lone strand of hair out of Eva's face, "Let's head out now, shall we?" He gave Road's messy room one last glance and snicker, linking arms with Eva and leading their little group down the hall toward the ark exit. Road came up on Eva's right, linking arms with her as well and sharing a grin.
Time to do some "human" activities.
"Wow the weather is really nice today!"
Tyki found himself nodding lightly in agreement to Road's cheerful statement, tipping his top hat down so it shielded his eyes from the sun. Spring time was now descending on this particular town, so the weather wasn't chilly and the air held the faint scents of flowers blooming in every window box. The streets were bustling with people, all taking advantage of the nice weather as they passed from shop to shop, most of which had their doors wide open to allow fresh air. Many were also having specials sales and deals that day to take advantage of all the customers out to do their business. Eva smiled cheerfully, arm still linked with Tyki's as they strolled down the cobblestone street and brushed past groups of people. Road was on her other side, making light chatter and listing off all the things they needed to get. Tyki was content just to walk along and let them have their fun since he was enjoying himself so much.
"Where to first ladies?" He asked, giving them a sideways glance and a smile.
Eva looked over at Road, seeming to prompt her to respond. Tyki fought a chuckle-as usual, Road would be in charge of their activities. He knew better now than to fight her on it.
Road tipped her head to one side, seeming deep in thought.
"Let's see..." She looked around, "How about we start at that cute little dress shop over there? I can get Eva some new clothes while we're there."
Tyki nodded lightly, but made a face of pure despair. Ugh. He didn't quite feel comfortable walking around a frilly dress shop, being the dignified nobleman he was and all, but he do so if it meant Eva would have a good time. Road, however, caught the look on his face. She snickered lightly, skipping over so she could poke him in the shoulder.
"You." She said in a sing-song voice, grinning wickedly at the uncomfortable look he wore, "Can go and do whatever you men do when they're in town. I don't think you want to walk around amongst the dresses-you would be serverly out of your natural habitat. Hell, you might just have an allergic reaction to all the feminine things around you."
Tyki snorted lightly, leaning around Road so he could give Eva a look, judging her reaction to Road's words. She didn't look upset or anything; she still smiled, the wind playing with the stands of hair framing her face. Tyki fought a sigh at how lovely she looked, the sun making her skin look luminous. He could tell a lot of townspeople noticed her beauty as well, seeing the glances she gave her when they passed by. He tried not to get too jealous, but it was difficult.
"This okay with you?" He asked her, referring to Road's suggestion, "I can stay if you want."
Eva laughed silently, shaking her head as she signed to him, Go right ahead. I don't mind. Besides, I don't think you'll enjoy yourself very much. She looked at Road this time while her hands moved, How about we get our girly stuff done right now then we can meet for lunch later for the rest?
Road nodded lightly in agreement, shielding her eyes from the sun as she replied, "Sounds good to me." She tossed Tyki a grin, linking arms with Eva again, "If we need you I can use the Noah link to contact you."
"And if that doesn't work," Tyki said, raising a brow at her, "I'll be at the market looking at the 'manly' section of things." He added air-quotes where they were needed. He then turned to Eva, leaning down to give her a small kiss on the top of her head, right next to her small top hat, "You girls have fun okay? Don't separate with Road for any reason."
Eva nodded, patting Tyki lightly on the cheek before Road tugged her toward the store. Tyki chuckled once before turning on his heel to walk off, heading toward where they sold top hats and such for mean in the market. He trusted Road's capabilities to keep Eva safe.
"Let's get you a bunch of new dresses." Road said excitedly to Eva as they entered the shop, smiling in gretting at the clerk behind the counter when she addressed them. Eva gazed around at all the numerous gowns, materials for making them, and hats that could be used with the . They were the only customers there, surprisingly on such a busy day. Road called to the clerk, "Buisness slow today, Ma'am?"
The clerk smiled, shaking her head no, "It's around lunchtime, so people are heading off to buy food right now. They'll be back I suspect. Do you ladies need a hand with anything?"
"Nope." Road replied cheerfully, "Not yet at least. We'll call if we need you."
She pulled Eva back to petite's section in the shop, almost on the far end. Dresses of every type and color hung on racks-lace and ruffles mixed with satin and silk. Road hummed lightly, running her hand over the numerous colors as she skipped along to the blue dressed. Since Eva looked so nice in that color, why not buy her a couple more of a similar shade? Black also looked nice, and purple. Eva let out a slow, impressed breath, examining a ball gown that was black and red, seeming to enjoy herself. Since they were alone, Road decided this was a perfect time to start their little "talk"-she was certain they were too far back for the shop keeper to hear, so this was a good opportunity. But where to start?
She pulled a dress off the rack, a short red one, and turned to Eva, "Let's go try this one on." She suggested, before grabbing her hand and tugging her toward the fitting room. Eva didn't argue-she only smiled lightly, allowing Road to lead the way and following her into the small room. The door clicked closed behind them, and Road made sure to lock it just in case another person came to shop in the store.
"So," Road began casually, helping Eva undo the bodice of her dress, "Eva...do you know what sex is?" She decided to just go right in, the blunt route instead of slow and steady.
Eva looked up at her words, a puzzled look crossing her face. She shook her head no, letting Road slip the dress off and hang it on a rack nearby while she tried on the new dress. Road nodded slowly, already foreseeing this response to the question and mentally going through in her head how to explain. This would be tricky.
"Well," She said, making sure to keep her voice lowered while she helped button up the new dress for Eva, "It's something two people do when they love each other romantically. Do you know the difference between romantic love and other types of love?"
Eva nodded slowly, a thoughtful expression on her face as she signed, You can love someone as a brother, sister, or parent. Then you can love someone as your other half, someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. They aren't your parent, brother, or sister-they're just your other half.
Road smiled. At least she understood that much about the way the world works-she wasn't quite sure how she would have explained that you shouldn't try to have sex with someone you consider a relative is bad...it would've been awkward. So she turned Eva around so she could examine her new dress, seeming quite pleased.
"This one looks nice." She commented casually, "We'll buy it." She moved to help unbutton the back again, continuing where she had left off before, "Anyway, yes that's essentially it. Sex is something you only do when you're sure you love someone romantically, and you do it with that person. It's something lovers do with their bodies."
While they continued to pick out new dresses and sample them, Road explained all the details on how a couple would make love to each other. She made sure to explain that love could not only just be between a man and a woman, but same gender as well. However, she left those forms of love making to Eva's imagination, since she was positive Eva would only be focusing on the one. They tried on dress after dress, Road putting in explanations on their topic while Eva tried them on, making sure their conversation was just between them. Eva listened calmly and quietly to what Road was saying, asking a few question on it and not seeming creeped out or anything in the slightest bit. She simply remained curious, probably relieved that she could finally discover what everyone was always making innuendos about.
They put their discussion on hold when Road paid for the dresses-four for Eva and two for herself, plus a few hats and shoes. She stepped into an alley so they could send it to the ark before they headed out on the cobble streets again, this time toward where a shop that sold bras and such resided. Eva kept her thoughtful expression, but didn't continue asking questions while they were in public-Road supposed it was easy for her to catch on that sex was something you kept hush hush about, something to be done privately between lovers where no one could see you. So Road made cheerful chatter instead, discussing girl things and talking about where they should go for lunch. This kept up until they reached the shop, this one having its doors closed so certain men wouldn't try to sneak peeks inside.
Road pushed open the door, alerting a woman at the cashier desk when a small bell jingled overhead.
"Can I help you two ladies find anything?" She asked.
"Where are your b-sized bras?" Road asked politely, smiling at the women.
She pointed to the left side of the store.
"Thanks!" Road sang, tugging Eva along again through the various rows of bright colored, lace articles of clothing. Eva blushed at the more raunchy forms of them, seeming fazed at how comfortable Road was. Very few things fazed Road. She chuckled lightly, looking forward to the day that Eva finally realized this like the rest of her family so there could be a better understanding between them. But back to their shopping for now. This shop must've had a bra for every single shade of color, plus they were organized by the type of fabric they were. Eva looked them over with a calculating expression, making Road giggle lightly. Yet again, she would have to pick some things out it seemed. That was okay, she liked being able to decide what Eva wore. Hmm...wouldn't it be fun if she could pick out some cute things that Tyki might like to see her in? Oh! Road could've clapped out loud at her next thought. She could totally teach Eva some tools in seduction as well, since she would need them for Tyki. Things just got a thousand times more fun, she had to admit. And watching Tyki suffer through this would be popcorn worthy.
"Let's start you off in black." Road said, grinning widely as she pulled several off the rack to try on, "And we'll make our way through more."
Eva made a face, signing out quickly, you're not going to make me try on every one are you?
Road gave a carefree laugh, patting Eva on her cheek lightly as she promised in a sweet tone, "Of course not love!"
Eva groaned silently, causing Road to laugh again.
"This will be over soon." She promised, pulling her toward the dressing rooms in the back and leading the way inside one. She sat down on a couch and waved at Eva to proceed with stripping. If she needed help putting one on she could ask. Now Road was wracking her brain with remembering where they left off in their conversation. She was fairly certain now all she needed to do was explain the smaller bits and see if Eva was actually sexually attracted to Tyki. Angels seemed to be pretty complicated, but everything was instinct right? Eva just needed something to connect what her body is feeling to, things she can rely on since she was left with practically nothing to go on in her life. So Road mentally went over describing words, all the things she could use to help Eva understand what she was trying to get across. This would have been a lot easier with Lulubell, but eh. She could make due with what she had in own brain.
"Back to our discussion." She said to Eva, nodding lightly in approval at the black lace bra Eva first tried on, "That one's nice. Keep it. Anyway, Eva, you get the basic details on sex, right?"
Eva nodded, still seeming curious as she continued to try on the articles of clothing.
Road proceeded again, "Making love with someone is supposed to feel good. I wouldn't know, but I have heard it involves pleasure and yada yada. All those dirty bits." She chuckled, then sobered quickly, "Sexual desire is something your body can feel when the person you love is near, helping make your body ready for making love. Understand?" Eva nodded lightly, sitting down next to Road on the couch since she had tried on the last bra they brought in with them. She gave Road a curious look, waiting for her to continue.
So Road did, "Eva, I'm going to ask you some things okay?" She asked, putting an arm around her shoulder. Eva frowned, but nodded, pink settling on her cheeks.
"Do you love Tyki?" Road asked, staring seriously into Eva's hazel orbs. Eva nodded instantly, blinking at the question like she was startled by how simple it was. Road smiled-of course it was simple for her, since instinct would make her feelings sharper and stronger than theirs. So she moved to her next question.
"Is he like a father for you?" Eva shook her head no, so Road asked, "Brother?" Another no. Road bit her tongue to stop herself from asking if he felt like a sister, since she was trying to keep serious.
"How do you feel around Tyki?" Road asked now, turning her head toward the door when she heard some faint voices pass by, but they didn't seem to be able to hear them talking inside the dressing room.
Eva paused, seeming deep in thought again as she rubbed one of her toes into the floor, a nervous habit it seemed. Road waiting patiently, but she wished she had Wisely's ability so she could see where Eva's thoughts were, or how she was collecting them.
Warm. Eva signed finally, still staring at the floor, When I'm around him I feel...warm. Every part of me is warm. And happy. When Tyki is around all the bad things go away from my life, and I feel calm. But I want to be near him. And I want to keep him safe like he does for me.
Road nodded slowly, thinking over what Eva said, "Do ever want Tyki to touch you?" She asked, smiling lightly to help Eva relax a little more.
Eva peeked over at her, blushing again as she nodded and looked away, I never understand. She signed, seeming frustrated, I like when he kisses my cheeks, my hair, my hands. I like when he holds me. But I always want something else, and I can never understand what that is. And when that happens I only get more confused and that makes me feel more like a child than I already do. It's so frustrating. I get these strange feelings all the time around him that I've never understood since I don't know anything about what I am and what I should be doing.
Road took a couple extra seconds reading what Eva was saying, but finally managed to catch up. She pulled Eva into a hug, suddenly feeling incredibly pissed at her parents and wishing she could go back in time and help take care of the growing girl on the street, making sure she was properly raised on how beautiful she was and how her body was supposed to feel. This is what a mother was supposed to do, help her daughter through these moments in life, like her first kiss, finding out about sex, experiencing the things a growing body does through youth. How Eva managed to survive on the streets going into all of this blind was beyond her, and it made her so angry. Eva deserved better, deserved to have someone tell her about this before and save her the frustrations now.
"I'm sorry Evvie." She said, petting Eva's hair lightly, "I can't change what's happened to you, but I can try to help you now okay?" When Eva nodded, Road continued on, pulling Eva back so she could look her in the eye, "Eva, your body is telling you about your desire, you know? When you feel warm, breathless, frustrated around him sometimes?" Eva nodded, her hazel orbs filled when curiosity, "That's your desire for him. You love him, so naturally your body is going to want his like that. You're a woman, he's a man, it's perfectly natural for you to be attracted to him. I mean come on," She chuckled, trying to lighten the mood, "Tyki is hawt."
Eva grinned lightly, unable to help herself.
Road smiled at her success, ruffling Eva's hair, "Eva if your body is telling you to do something, do it. You have a very strong instinct, so let it tell you what you want to do. Making love is so natural for a body to do, since it can produce children, so I have no doubt your angel will lead you right."
Eva nodded, but sighed heavily.
But Tyki doesn't see me as a lover, Road. She signed, To him, I'm a child.
Road snorted lightly, flopping back on the couch and crossing her arms, "Oh please." She cackled, "Do you think Tyki is blind, Eva? You're beautiful. He shows you a caring and adoration some of us had no idea he possessed, and I know for a fact he loves you. Not like a daughter or sister either. He's never quite known what you are to him, but he's starting to catch on." Road played with a ribbon on her dress, ignoring Eva's surprised look, "He's not some wierdo, either. He just recently has realized you're not a child, and that you do have sex appeal. Again, this is natural with how close you are. He's also hating himself over it, beating himself over it, and struggling with how to progress. Silly man thinks he'll scar you forever if he tries to take your relationship up a notch." Road rolled her eyes.
Eva blinked again, looking down at her hands clasped on her lap for a few seconds with pink cheeks. Road fought a grin-embarrassed Eva equaled cute Eva, and Road loved it when she blushed. And the fact that Tyki's infatuation made her feel like that was such a good sign.
Why doesn't he just, you know, Eva signed, squirming a little as she searched for the right words, Tell me these things himself? Why doesn't he treat me like he wants?
"What you're saying is," Road translated, grinning wickedly as she nudged her playfully with her elbow, "Why doesn't he just make a move on you and try to make thing steamy~?"
Eva made a face and swatted her hands away, cheeks seeming to get more red when she nodded. Honestly, Road could get where she's coming from, since in all the time Eva has known him she probably learned that Tyki gets what Tyki wants. Out on the streets, at home, when Tyki feels like he wants to obtain something it was best to give him what he wanted. Like with Eva herself actually-Tyki decided he wanted to keep her around, and left no room for arguments. Or at least, so Road had been told. She was still "missing" when Eva was introduced to their family, which pissed her off. She wished she could have been there to punch someone in the face when they insulted Eva or bitched at Tyki about it-she got what she wanted as well, and what she says goes in the Noah family. The only one with the authority to trump her? Probably the Earl. Or at least that's what she would like to think.
"Well," Road continued, propping her feet up on the coffee table in front of the couch without a care in the world, "Eva, you're reaaallly innocent to Tyki. I mean, you're not a child, but you're innocent. And cute. It's in your nature Eva, to be like that. Making love to you would take away your virginity, and essentially your innocence. And Tyki doesn't want to change you, or as I like to think, soil your pure body with his wickedness." Road finished dramatically, smirking.
Eva let out a heavy sigh, pressing a hand to his forehead, He's an idiot.
Road let out a surprised burst of laughter, tilting her head back so she could give Eva a side stare, "Eva, sweetie, I've never agreed with you more." she cackled.
They shared a few laughs, then Road took the time to give Eva some seduction tips, which would be damn exciting to watch when Eva finally made her move. Though Road cautioned her, telling her to not mention any of this around Tyki, or do any of the seducing yet. Let him wait and stew over things. Of course she agreed, so they bought what they came there for, and set out onto the streets of the town again. Road made sure to send away the bras and such to the ark as well-she would rather not carry it with her on the off chance some pervert popped up to snatch it. The store's logo was plainly visible on the bag. But back on topic, she and Eva decided to go to the town square and check out some of the sights-this town was known of its beautiful artwork and performers on the square, and Road knew how much Eva enjoyed pretty things.
Road smiled, glancing around at all the possible people they could take a look at. Street performers of every type dotted the area, each with their own unique display of beauty. Then there was the art, being sold and displayed everywhere for people to enjoy. Ahh, so many choices. Road giggled at the look of awe on Eva's face, pulling toward where one crowd was gathered around a performer on the edge of the square. Road tried to stand on her tiptoes to get a good look at what was happening, but there was too many people around. Damn them for being so tall. Eva fought a grin when Road hissed lightly, seeming tempted to slap someone out of the way.
"Assholes." She said blatantly out loud, causing someone near by to look shocked at her outright use of vulgarity, "Don't they know any manners?"
Eva shook her head no, seeming content just to look around and take in the scenery. Road sighed-how this non-aggressive girl managed to slaughter exorcists would always confuse her.
Road opened her mouth to yell something at the man in front of her, when she it suddenly dawned on her that they had boughten three bags of items at the bra store..but she only had sent two to the ark. Shit. She had probably left one on the counter on accident when they left.
"Ah crap," She muttered, turning to a now-confused Eva, "Evvie, I think I left something at the store. I'm going to head back and get it-you can come with me if you don't feel safe, and since Tyki said so. But if you don't wanna miss anything, you can stay here." When Eva looked doubtful, Road added, "If something happens, use the teeze to get Tyki. The instant you activate them he can find you in a flash. Just don't wander away from the square, okay?"
Eva pondered it for a few seconds, taking in all the interesting events around her before she finally nodded, deciding she would be fine to stay for a few minutes. Road smiled proudly, leaning to kiss Eva on the cheek before she bounded off toward the store again, hoping that the clerk at the store had saved her bag.
Eva watched her until she disappeared out of sight, smiling lightly. She then looked around her, trying to decide which street performer she wanted to check out. Preferably something with a small crowd, since she was no taller than Road was. Near the square's exit was a tiny crowd, consisting of four or five people-that seemed perfect. The person performing in this big crowd may have been amazing, but Eva didn't want to push through this group of strangers. So she made her way over, nodding in polite greeting and smiling when people addressed her, some from the ball that knew her by name. It felt nice, having people who generally liked her as a person. Thankfully they already knew she couldn't speak, but a few of the men that said hello looked kinda disappointed by her curt responses. Either way they would have to be disappointed, because there was only one person she would ever want to be with.
Finally she reached the performer, smiling lightly when she realized he was a clown. But unlike the others she had witnessed while on the street, this one was strangely...beautiful.
He held himself with grace, balancing himself on one leg on a ball while he did some tricks. Eva smiled in awe, clapping lightly when he materialized a dove out of no where. The clown then hopped off the ball, bowing lightly to the crowd. He had a sweet smile, which he used to address the crowd with when he started his next trick. As Eva stared in surprise, he made a rose appear in his palm before it burst into flames, disappearing in a flash with no notable cause to it. Their small crowd burst into gasps and applause, seeming very impressed. The man bowed from his slim waist, which made Eva realize with some disappointment that she had caught the end of his show. The lovely clown started to pack up his things in a suitcase, still smiling even as the crowd dispersed away, going off to some new performances. Eva, however, stayed behind, hoping she could express how much she enjoyed his show and how sad she was that their crowd was so tiny.
He looked up at her when she hesitantly stepped closer, in the process of wiping the clown make-up off his face. Eva felt a twinge of surprise-he was young, with a beautiful face still have colored white from the clown make-up. Honestly, he and Tyki were in two different leagues, Tyki being tall and wicked while this man was wiry and beautiful. Eva held no interest in his beauty, however, she enjoyed his show a great deal.
"Oh, hello there." He greeted her in a friendly voice, standing up so he could bow from the waist. When he stood, he pulled off the bald cap holding back his hair, which was a shockingly bright white color. He smiled sweetly at Eva, his eyes a dark grey color that held, to what seemed to Eva, a deep sorrow, "Did you enjoy my show, little miss?"
Eva nodded, smiling eagerly at him as she signed, It was very beautiful.
The man blinked in surprise at her use of sign language, tipping his head to one side. He paused, then said sheepishly, "I hope you don't hate me for prying, but you aren't able to talk?" he tipped his head to one side, seeming very sad.
Eva shook her head no, smiling lightly at him. It was nice of him to be concerned, and it seemed like he understood what hardships Eva had been through, but she was doing perfectly fine in her life right now. Tyki made sure she had every happiness, which is why she now wanted to do the same for him. She loved him enough to want to keep him safe.
The man smiled again suddenly, reaching one hand out toward Eva. She eyed it cautiously, confused as to what he was doing until he suddenly materialized a rose in his fingertips. Eva gasped, then clapped delightedly, grinning from ear to ear. She had to admit, she loved these forms of magic. Whenever she could on the street, she would hide nearby to watch the magic performers do what they did best, always fascinated by the beauty of it. And this man's magic was particularly flawless and beautiful.
He grinned as well, tilting the Rose toward her as an offering. Eva blinked before accepting in with a slight curtsy.
Thank you. She signed, holding the rose to her and smiling lightly as he turned away so he could gather his things once more. When he looked at her again, she asked, What is your name?
The man smiled, leaning down again so he could collect everything in his suitcase again. He bowed once more to Eva before turning on his heel and heading toward the exit.
He waved over his shoulder, calling over the sound of the other performers,
"My name is Allen."
Then, he was gone.
