A Gift Adored Above All Others (Famine/Privet)

The heavy doors of Basilisk fang were pushed open as a emerald haired man entered the guild hall with a very quick pace, Sol was instantly scanning the room with his eyes to try and find where Famine was as he had some important information to share with her and a gift that he knew the shadow user would absolutely love. Seeing only the regulars in the guild having drinks and mumbling about rumors and gossip they have heard the slayer just ignored them and headed in the direction of the throne.

While he approached then look on his face made others confused and some terrified, the demons face was set in a serious expression untill you saw his golden eyes which held a look of sadistic glee as if he was savoring something he had done just recently. On the mans arms were some black bandages but other then that the man was fine. He approached the Throne and looked to see if Famine was there, if she was he would drop to a knee and bow his head.”Mistress Famine I come with great news and a gift for you” he said waiting for her to address him before he did anything else.

Famine was just where Sol had expected to find the master, slumped laying sideways on the throne. She held a black shadowy slate up to her eyes, gazing into the mirror-like surface she had created. Cold fingertips touched to her jaw as she examined the reflection, again her mind was seeing things, remembering the mirror image of Eris’ white face against her blade. Famine looked no different in the reflection she saw now... She still had that cold, and a face like she wasn’t amused with life.Yet, she felt changed. The magician blinked as the solid fort doors opened and smacked close again in a cold breeze of flurrying ice. It was then that the reflective object dissipated into the air and faded into the shadows of the unlit interior.

“Hmnn. A present? What’s the occasion?~....” Her cold but sultry voice hummed and she shifted to sit cross legged in her seat at the end of the main room in the guildhall. She was anxious to hear of the ‘great news’... It had been a while since anything had made her genuinely smile, though Sol’s company was always worth a grin.

Sol heard his Mistress ask what the occasion was and he grinned at the tone she used as he got up and stood at his full height.”well I was coming back from visiting Stein in the woods when I caught scent of someone, a person that caused all of us quite a bit of grief at Kardia Cathedral.” he explained before his grin widened further.”I found Kanix and managed to find some rather useful information from her apparently the blind bitch is pregnant and its with a mage from another guild a union of sorts she called it , she even tried to tempt me by offering me a child as well I told her to shove it” he said chuckling at the end.

“she decided to disrespect you again Mistress and we had a bit of a spat with her pet causing me some rather nasty burns I managed to leave one myself as well I would have killed her but something called me away and I thought you might want to know of the child before a decision was made and as for your present” the demon said before he reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small jar for her to see, inside was clear embalming liquid and a single floating eyeball that was clouded and sightless.”Lets just say I take an eye for an eye rather seriously “ he laughed as he offered the jar to Famine. Sol couldn't help but feel pleased with himself at what he had done which he thought was rather fitting for someone who stabbed them in the back. he only hopped he could take her other eye next.

As Sol told the story The Guild Master shifted off her throne, getting to her feet Famine paced the  floor towards Sol, azure irises glimmering his way like glimmering gems in the dark walls of a cave. Famine stepped up to him, gave lowering to the jar . She looked into the glass container intently at the misted eyeball, a grin becoming present. “How sweet.” She hissed through that smile. She pulled up onto the tips of her toes in an attempt to meet his height. Famine had stretched her neck, holding a palm to his hip, managing only to meet him at his torso

Famine subconsciously pouted at the many inches that still separated their faces, her other palm laying flat on his chest where thanks to her pathetic height only her nose reached. “I’m sure you taught her a very tough lesson.” She murmured  with the innocence and coyness of a child as her fingers clenched around his shirt, his guild crest buried just beneath the fabric. The hand at his hip slipped around his side, creeping towards the hand that held the small Jar. “So she single handedly stabs us in the back and feels safe enough to bore a child now?...” Famine hummed upon Kanix’s foolishness, brushing Sol’s fingers till she met the cold glass of the container wishing to take the eye into her own hand.

Sol resisted blushing at the closeness between him and the guild master as she sprouted a grin at his present and he in turn also grinned. dWhen Famine mentioned that he must have taught her a tough lesseon the emerald haired man nodde.”That I did and I modified my claws just for the occasion” he said as he raised one hand and formed the claws he had used on Kanix for her to see, they were completely smooth on the inside except for the sharp tips but the back of the fingers were bladed and jagged to tear and rip flesh and leave nasty wounds” she Disrespected you and threatened to tell Heero of your location I’m not about to let my queen and mistress be captured or killed so I made an example out of Kanix and shut her up” he said his face was devoid of a smile as a look of seriousness appeared on it as he looked down at Famine with only one emotion in them Devotion to her and her alone.

“I suppose she does think that its safe enough which is stupid she forgets we have eyes everywhere nowhere is safe from us” he mumbled as he let go of the jar so Famine could hold onto it herself though he let a blush appear on his cheeks as she touched his fingers." So Mistress what is the next step ?” he asked curiously wondering what the plan was for Kanix and her unborn child.

The guild master detected the color in Sol's face when her hand brushed his for the container. Once she took the glass jar from him she  flicked her wrist opening a black, shadowy, wormhole and dropped it inside to retrieve later. "Next step?" Famine echoed in thought, letting the words pass through every particle in her brain as she contemplated. She moved her petite hands back to his waist, wishing to see him blush again."We will have to wait like we've always done... You remember the last time I tried to go after Kanix and what Heero did to you last time we made an enemy of Fairy Tail.... Even though that blind girl was none of his concern to begin with." She sighed, unable to help but leaning her weight forward into Sol's  strong frame, head to his chest; her arms folded around his sides and locked around his back. "We will get an break in due time.... Let her have that child It will be her weakness... and her undoing." Famine glinted small, pride driven smile up at Sol.

Sols face lit up when the shorter woman move close and put her hand on his waist which surprised him greatly since he was not use to Famine being so close not that he didn’t enjoy it.when she mentioned that they would wait as they always had the slayer nodded his head in understanding, it was how they had remained unopposed for so long since they always waited for the most favorable time to strike at the enemy. When Heero was mentioned and what he did to both Sol and Famine which caused the the man to scowl for a moment.” I swear I want that mans head on a pike when I’m Dragon King” he grumbled, he didn’t take defeat well especially when it was from another dragon slayer.

Feeling the guild masters hands move again to join behind his back and her weight leaning into him caused the slayer to suddenly feel very odd as he was unsure what to do , after second he did the only thing he could think of and that was to place his hands on her waist and he blushed again as he did so. He may have been a demon but he was still new to this kind of affection. “true all we have to do is wait, I wonder how long she will be able to keep her mask on in Fairy Tail, she told me herself she bows to no one and considers even the childs father to be a fool, I don’t think the blind witch has a drop of loyalty in her at all. I think its only a matter of time before the world turns on her and when it does I will enjoy seeing her crack” he cackled lightly with a grin on his face as he looked down at Famine and her own smile.

“Everyone gets what’s coming to them.”

Famine’s palms only shifted higher eventually until her arms folded up  around the back of his throat, she  took leverage from his shoulders, ambling her weight on him so that she may gain a few inches of height. Once high enough in front of him, that’s when she did such: That’s when Famine planted  a firm kiss on Sol’s jaw. She held it for just a moment, one surely Sol would savor. She’d slip away taking the jar into her hands; coming back to the pads of her feet.

“Thank you, for the gift," Famine said as a coy smirk touched her lips, slowly slipping her hands away from Sol,
Her pet,
Her servant,
Her knight,

Without another word she shuffled away, descending further into the guildhall, that subtle and devilish grin never leaving her features.

[Exit]

Sol could only blink in surprise and shock as Famine pressed her lips to his jaw and at that moment his mind shut down for a second to try and understand what had just happened. He heard Famine thank him for the gift and he suddenly sprouted a small smile on his face as he watched her head deeper into the guild hall before he stretched a bit and decided to enjoy what had just happened while setteling in for a nap behind the throne. as he moved into the shadows and summoned his cloak to use as a blanket he casted one last look in the direction the smaller woman went before he dozed off.
