The Parlor (2)

-Looks sharply at Raine once more-
No.
-Turns back to Rizzo-
I need no IQ test. But if you need hard facts- I have scored 140 and higher on numerous tests throughout the ages. In fact- I wrote part of the test.
-Lets gaze fall upon Pandora-

*glares slightly at Raine with her ridiculous questions*

*has the urge to roll eyes but stays motionless*

So smart for a man who travels many places.
Pray. Tell me
You never found a reason to stay in any of those places?

*thinks*
Haha..He's here isn't he?

*narrows eyes, and holds Pandora closer*

I just forgot...
Kale, I need to see you. In your workshop.
Now.
*stands and exits, Kale following*

*watches them leave*
*she glances at Nikki*
She doesn't like me at all.

I'm sorry for the questions.
*eyes narrow slightly*

-watches Rizzo, Pandora and Kale leave-
-lifts head minimally-
Locations Bore me.
I stay, for a time.
Then I take my leave.
-pointedly ignores Raine-

*she sits quietly*
*thinks*
You made yet another mistake.
Nice going Raine.

*mumbles something in french*
Comment intéressant. Le voyage tous dans le monde encore vous avez supporté de tels endroits.

So there nothing of your interest in this world worth staying for?
Then why do you live?
A life of solitude is disliked by most.
Lease, traveling by oneself.

I have come to the conclusion in my many years that who does not know you cannot hurt you.
I have known and lost many a friend, soldier, and lover in my numerous years in this world.
So, yes. I travel for there is not much for me- yet I am cursed to exist.
Whatever God it may be that is out there sees fit to have me be as I am, and so I shall exist.
I have seen enough of the lives of men to believe at least some margin of their folklore.

*slightly awed at speech*

Something could not have been said by someone with any less experience in this world.

*ponders*

*comes back inside alone*
*sits down next to Nikki*
I'm sorry. Kale had something he needed to take care of, and I just put Pandora to bed.

*looks at Nikki*
*gives her a "we need to talk later" look*

What have I missed?

-Views the exchange with a curious eye-
-Remains Silent-

*glances and looks back*
*shakes self out of deep thought*

Not a lot at all Rizzo.
Talking.

*thinks*
And getting annoyed with a certain person.

*watches him*
He is very curious.
Something is off about him but I don't mind.
I'll stay quiet for now around him.
*glances over at nikki*

I'll go.
I can tell where I'm not wanted.
*heads outside*

*positions self in chair on the edge of room, deep in thought*

*looks up at everyone at the other end of the room*

*notices the newcomer*

Oh, hello. I don't believe we've met...

Ah, I see.

So...
*isn't quite sure what to say next*

-Looks to Dawn-
My greetings to you as well. I am Melanthios.
-Continues looking around the room-

*looks pointedly at Melan and speaks*

May I be as bold to say I feel we have met?
Or our paths have crossed.
I feel as though I would remember.
With so many people you have passed in your lifetime, I doubt you would remember.

It is possible, for I have met many.
-an unnoticable twinkle lights his eyes-
Though it is true that I know you all

*frowns slightly and peeks through covered eyes*
Ah, people! Disturbances! And... him.
Umm...... If no one needs me here, I think I'll relocate to a quieter location....
Unles you'd rather I stay, Rizz? *raises an eyebrow questioningly*

*smiles at Lidia*
Go ahead, hun!
If we need you, someone will find you.
But I think we're ok for now.

*pushes hair back out of face*

*sits deep in thought*

*thinks*
Could he be..?
Nahh..that's too much of a coincidence.

*starts fidgeting with hands*

If you'll excuse me,
I'm going to grab some water.

*gets up and leaves*

-Watches Nikki and Lidia leave with amusement, though keeping his face clear of emotion-
((Not like he wouldn't have learned to do so with how old he is!))
-Lets eyes come to rest on a very clearly uncomfortable Rizzo-

*she comes back in after cooling off*
*She stay quiet and sits down*
*She looks over at Melan with curious eyes*
Why do I feel this way around him.
The others aren't this calm.
Maybe creepy don't effect me.

*nods at Raine*

*notices Melan's gaze and tries to break the uncomfortable silence*

*smiles friendly*

So, Melan...what brings you here to our happy home?

*tenses under his gaze*
*looks away and out the window*
*sits silently and lets the others talk*

{{I need to do a short story or something about her going mental... >.> }}
