Oh how he hated to let his mind drift, free to roam into without direction or focus quickly lead him back to more dark pleasures and such despite how he tried to fight it. Books helped alot with this, especially long and somewhat complicated ones like the one he had just finished, for the fifth time.
"Round about the caldron go; In the poison'd entrails throw. Toad, that under cold stone, Days and nights has thirty-one Swelter'd venom sleeping got, Boil thou first i' the charmed pot!"
Ah, macbeth, it was a violent and bloody book but it was by far his favorite maybe it reminded him of his constant struggle between the lighter and darker sides of himself, the evil having plagued his life but in the end being defeated (partially) by the light. maybe subdued was a better word.
His bloodstained claws fiddled with the book as he tried to think of what to do next, his thoughts were not good ones and he hissed as he attempted to fight them off, accidentally driving a deep scar into the reinforced leather bound book.
"I haven't eaten in awhile, that... Feels good... Vendsha would be angry wouldn't she?" he says in a oddly contemplative tone as if trying to weigh the pros and cons of starving himself for alittle while.

A floating figure wends her way through the orchard trees, seeming like hardly more than a ghost. She was light, warm, fluffy with delicate pink wings, and black curving horns.
Vendsha was drawn to the presence of her dark angel, and without a whisper of sound had come upon him as he spoke aloud, not knowing she was there. She had smiled at the now familier lines from his favorite book.
For the latter she just shakes her head and flows into his view, "When am I ever angry with you?" Her soft incredibly fine fur rubs against his as she lovingly curls around him like a living cloud.
"Though you know, I don't let you go hungry for long in any case, my angel." her sweet voice was soft and soothing, she knew there were troubled thoughts in his mind and she would chase them away.

His eyes shifted up to that ghostly beauty and he snarled again, it was rather frightening looking especially at such a proximity, then he moved forward and pushed through her snorting as he ruffled his wings and turned back around on the other side of her "There was that time with that 'snack'" he said with a grin as he thought about it...
it was not very obvious how dark a mood he was in, to anyone other than the delicate looking creature which floated before him but he was definitely in a very bad one, his claws clicked together slightly as he sat down again in a very restless way... If she had come later it she would most likely expect to see some fresh cuts.

Her fur had sleeked slightly at the snarl. Though she wasn't scared, he did still manage to surprise her from day to day. Vendsha would probably never be able to predict his reactions, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
She chuckles warmly, "Ah yes the 'snack' the first time I showed my scary toothy-freaky face to you." It was a look that sent many small critters fleeing for their lives only to meet their doom.
He really was in a mood. A rare sadness fills her eyes to see him in such a state. Though she loved him so much that she never wanted him to be hurt ever again, pain was something, she knew he needed. Didn't matter why.
The Ethereal had learned some very interesting skills since they fell in love. *whip flick!* Goes her pink, fine as air, tail tuft upon his shoulder. It made a sadisfying snap! against him and left a brief aching sting behind. Then soft and sweet, she soothed the spot with the same tuft and moved to caress his cheek. "Angelus...what is wrong?" Vendsha asks.

He shuddered slight at the sting, eyes rolling back slightly before refocusing on her, she was very soft and he liked the feeling, he barely felt the small whip that she had done but he appreciated the thought... "I keep falling back to my nature whenever I lose my distractions, The longer I resist the more I yearn to become what I was... And at the same time the mere thought of it pushes me away, And I can not be both..." he says as he turns the book over in one of his taloned hands, pausing as he felt the scar he had made in it earlier.
After she brushed against the side of his face he sighed very lightly then leaned his head back against her in a return movement, closing his eyes lightly and making a slight crackly purr before licking her on the side of the muzzle gently, leaving a small bit of blood on her face in the process.

Vendsha nods and strokes his brow in sympathy. "We are who and what we are. You struggle so against your nature...and your nature struggles with your rational intelligence. You'll pull yourself apart if you continue so, my love." she pauses. "Not to sound all fortune teller on you, but there has to be a balance."
The ethereal could only help him so much, she knew that. And she also knew she couldn't become too wrapped up in him that she forgot who she was. Though she felt the yearning to provide his every need, Vendsha wouldn't become a victem, nor did she think, Angelus would wish her to.
"Hmmm, " she purrs in return, not minding the blood at all. She still got all tingly when he purred. Vendsha smiles, closing her eyes in enjoyment. How the light did love the dark.

He had tried balancing out his nature with his other virtues but... They were almost as opposite as you could get, mindless urges to seek pain and suffering versus calm thought did not mix. One would always push the other aside... heh Maybe that is what happened to Aluran...
"I would not be able to recognize your likeness to a fortune teller as there are so few wandering our world." he says with a chuckle and opens his eyes again... There was that other option he had thought about many times, Many of the tsumes he knew could probably diminish or remove his urges for pain but he could not bring himself to try and fix his problems in such an unnatural way, especially when it had to do with his mind. "Atleast when I am with you that feeling is severely diminished."
It took a moment before the smell of the blood was easily recognized as... His, he probably bit his cheek or something... One of the places she can't tell he's injured himself even if she's with him, he smirked alittle bit once he realized that, so he reached over and rubbed it off of her face with one of his clawed hands, carefully.

Vendsha chuckles, "Which is probably a good thing...you'd probably want to eat one if you ever met one. They can be rather annoying with their vaque predictions and readings. Mostly drama drama drama that could be anything at all."
She fluffs out her already fluffy fur, pleased and yet...troubled because she wasn't around him all the time. Just a temporary fix, what could she do to help him in this? "I am glad, I am still better than the pain, dear heart." If only she had some magic of her own.
Vendsha rubs her face into his hands once he finished taking the blood off. Then she looks at him as if she could see right through his head, which in a literal sense she could. Obviously,if he hadn't been eating then the blood was his, so she knew perfectly well it got in his mouth through other means.
Her pink eyes darken as a rather hot idea occurs to her and a sexy half-smile curves her lips. With her tail she draws him slowly closer to her until she could kiss him. A little pink tongue lightly licks his chin and then she goes for his mouth. Vendsha draws back only enough to whisper, "You know I am about licking your wounds." The next kiss is deeper.

He grins at the idea and shakes his head, "Ah, but the vague answers often point you more towards the truth than even the most precise ones can." he says sounding like he may be interested in meeting one of these fortune teller things.
And of course she was better than pain... Atleast in some ways, she fulfilled many more of his feelings than it ever could but she could not replace it. and he knew this very well, and beleived that she did aswell... Otherwise she would not have picked up those.. uh... Interesting habits with him.
He seems about to speak when she licks his chin, but then gives up that idea because he knew what she wanted to kiss him, which was difficult to do while talking... This reminded him of when they had first met slightly... as he kissed her back, closing his black coloured eyes as he lets his mind drift away once again, not that he had much of a chance to resist it.

She hums alittle doubtfully, "Sometimes, but most of the time people go out trying to change what is seen, only the ironic thing is by trying to change it, they make it happen. So they were better off not knowing about it at all."
Vendsha's mind did not drift away like Angelus's but rather became highly focused and sensitive to everything about him. She had an amazing concentration for kisses among other things. With a twist of her coiled tail she tugs on his collar and made like she was trying to devower him from the mouth down. She probably could of gone on kissing him for quite awhile longer but then an unexpected(as always) bundle of joy arrived.
A baby tsume, looking very much like the two adults engaged flew in on black wings and proceeded to voice his disgust with the rather familier sight of his parents being mushy.
"Ewww! MA! PA! Would you two Stop that?!" >.< "You're embarrassing! What if everyone SAW?" The black and blue tsume lands on the ground, and proceeds to groom his messy wings sulkily.

Angelus doesn't hear a thing that she said at that point so made no other comment on the subject.
He wraps his arms around her lightly in a large hug, then pulls her closer very slowly as his wings move forward to block the sun from her delicate eyes, holding her romantically even after that little squirt had arrived because he could really care less who saw them kissing.... but when she stopped he moved his wings back slightly and released her from his bear like hug.
"I would not care if everyone had seen, why is it that you would?" he asks with a large smirk drawing itself out over his face, showing some rather scary looking teeth, especially scary with the addition of blood smeared across them...
It is a rather good thing that his son was not here alone one might think, and if so they would be correct.

Vendsha sighs disappointedly into Angelus's mouth when their son interrupted. Honestly, he didn't use to be such a pain in the neck, but lately he seemed to be making up for lost time. She gives him an apologetic lick despite the little squirt's presence as if asking for Angelus's patience, or tolerance at the least.
It wasn't that Angelus didn't love his son, it was just that urge to eat annoying things. After all he did eat the little dream tsume, Yume acouple times. The memory of that particular conversation made the ethereal, smile again.
The little tsume flicks his wings back and snarls slightly, looking very much like his father in that moment. "Because! When they see, they later make fun of me, by making fun of you. And I don't like it!" he hisses angrily.
A sly look comes into his pink eyes, "Sometimes, I get them back, but you know Ma doesn't like it when I do that." he then sort of pouts. "I don't know whhhy, they deserve it and it's fuun." Angelus wasn't the only one having problems with urges to cause pain.
Vendsha at that point gives Angelus a look that purely said, See? He's your son all right. before floating down to the little tsume's level and wrapping him up in her softness. No matter how upset he'd been lately, her cuddles still had that calming effect. Definitely Angel's son in more than one way.
His pink eyes close slightly as he rubs his face into his mom's thick soft fur, looking very much like a kitten. There's no place else as wonderful as here. he thinks. No one else like Ma. He'd inherited some of her fluffiness, but not as much. And his coat was little bit coarser like Angelus's.
Vendsha purrs her sweet purr, almost singing a lullaby. Glowing softly she looks up from her son, seeking Angelus with soft loving eyes. Here she was in her element, somehow she was meant to be exactly like this. The two males in her life...she really hoped to have a little girl next time.

Angelus snorted slightly he didn't like how this runt was acting, and if Vendsha wasn't here would probably do something about it... But then again it did seem he was effected by namecalling or something, he'd have to find out who was doing that later...
"..." he almost said something but realized it was most likely the exact opposite of what Vendsha would want the kid to do, because although he was controlling his urges to cause pain and such he did beleive in defending himself against attacks, physical, verbal or otherwise.... And there were very few ways that he knew of retaliating most of which involved pain at some point.
"So who are these 'things' that have been making fun of us?" he said in a rather frightening mind voice, very much fitting to his appearance rather than what is heard when he actually moves his mouth... Of course he only said it to his son and no one else would be able to hear it unless they were a strong psychic.
His stomache rumbled loudly as he moved over to the small huddle, he ignored it as he sat down beside them... His son could probably feel atleast some of the pain his father had inflicted on himself recently and had yet to fix, such as the cut in his mouth, and the hunger... And there were some of the scars that seemed to never have healed right. "Are either of you hungry?" he asked casually to help hide the fact that he was speaking in secret aswell.

Vendsha pets her son, "I'm sorry you're having such a hard time, sweetling, but those others are only just kids themselves. They don't know any better. I talk to their parents and they stop don't they?" she makes the last a question because perhaps, things weren't getting better. Maybe she was making it worst somehow.
It wasn't that she didn't want him to use his power to defend himself, she just felt it should be a real situation that called for it, more life, or death and less 'because they make fun of us!'. The latter was just childish. *sigh* Course to a child, such things mattered. Why did kids have to be so mean?
The young tsume opens an eye and looks at his father warily. "Like Ma said, they're other dragons my age though they aren't like us. They leave me alone sometimes, but sometimes they get real mean after they get in trouble with their parents. Call me a Mama's boy." his mindvoice is deeper than his real voice and full of anger. He did indeed feel some of the pain Angelus had inflicted, as he so often did when he father came near. It was strangely normal and almost as comforting as his mother's softness, only in a different way.
To his mother he says, "No."
The ethereal sighs, "I'm sorry luv..." and snugglies him close.
Oblivious to the secret convo between her mate and son, Vendsha nods. "Very hungry."

Angelus barely kept from laughing when she said she had talked to their parents and seemed to beleive that that would somehow lessen the problems... Of course he had killed or injured the few kids that had made fun of him (aswell as most that didn't) so he didn't exactly know the situation first hand. "From what I understand, if they are wanton to make fun of someone, telling them not too would be more of an encouragement than deterrent." he says with a chuckle, of course actions spoke louder than words ever could...
"maybe I should have a... 'talk' with them or their parents." he suggests with a rather evil tone apparent in his mind, sure he wouldn't kill them he might not even injure them but they would reconsider trying to mock him or any of his relations.
"I suppose I could try and hunt something here, You have to be fast... Because you aren't allowed to eat things that can talk, but if they don't have a chance to say anything..." he trails off and the smirk re-appears on his face. stretching his wings he begins to stand up again, looking around afew times before cracking his neck, and knuckles in preperation of going after something, he was going to wait incase either of them voiced the wish to come along.
