Carry on Dancing

[Little Lion]

Caleb mumbled something incoherent to the quips over his head as he recieved the requested towel. His priorities had changed from helpful mediator to self centered moping. It was his head that was split open after all and if his crew wanted to bust each other up then they could certainly follow suit as long as he was left out of their remnant hate. He let Shadow chatter over him with the occasional nodd to the immutable noise, or a convient body sway from the aching spiral feeling through his eyes. His knees were sliding out from under him and folding up to serve as elbow props. The sickening sensation was threatening to take him down. Let me see sweetie. "Mmm but.." Caleb whined and kept his hand over his face until he felt an icy touch embrace them and tug. He relinquished the tension then and let her drag his limp hand away to assess the wound. He was about to protest any touching she might want to do to the cut but it was to late. He'd felt the impact but as quickly as he had winced it was turning to a cool tingling. The quickness at which the cool healing replaced the throbbing heat created by the wound relaxed him and eased him back into her touch. He glanced at her to find assurance in her satisfied look but it was ebbing away too quickly for his comfort. Oblivious to how badly Shadow was annoying her, he focused naturally on himself and assumed her dismay was with his appearance. His fingers were slowly sliding to the healed spot on his head as to inspect it himself. Caleb... His fingers curled into themselves just before he could touch the assualted location and he dropped his hand to his knee. "Lilly." His voice was firm, nothing was going to come after it. He knew the situation was a head ache and it sickened him. Caleb, at the heart, was a romantic, a sap and this entire fiasco dug at him the most but, rather then showing high levels of irritation, the poor star simply wilted under their tension. Being his mother son, he lacked her ability to produce and deal with negative emotion. Though, he could rise to be upset, as often he did, he would never get irritated with Lilly. However, even he didn't need the added prodding to fix the situation. Shadows voice chimed back into his mind again and he realized he should probably give him a vocal answer this time. "No, no. Thanks. I don't..." He was staring at his hand trying to decide how to wipe his brow with out painting his skin. "I don't want anything." He glanced back up at shadow through one eye and shrugged. "If you could." He was adding his request to Lilly's of having the floor cleaned. "I'll take care of the rest." It was added for chilvalry and indescreatly about Tyler and Lilly. He would try to keep both off of Shadow the best he could, that is after he got his nerve back. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Lilly's nimble fingers tearing something open and he instantly became wary. "Oh hey..." He was scrambling back from her reach, his feet already gathering under him to lift him up like a wobbling block tower. "Let's go to the uh... um" The rising motion had been too much too soon. The floor turned to a puddle of murky colors sinking further away from him. "Just here" He waved a cleaner hand at her waiting for her to take it so he could help her up. "It's not that bad." This part was added in order to escape the doom of the little white cloth. He knew that similar things removed from a packet were usually soaked with a stinging alcohol or aloe, some unwanted chemical.

Tyler glared at Shadow, annoyed with the comment but not finding it degrading enough for an actual comment. However, boys will be boys, and his mind was already cranking. "I'll tell 'em that the new kid got a little to excited." He swung his chair around to look at Shadow. "They love that one."

[eh, sorry... to much chatting while i type xD some kids are leaving tomorrow.]

"Do I look like a Maid"Shadow mumbled under his breath as he went to fetch a second towel and water. The order had been given to clean the floor and the teen had to obey. Well he could refuse but he was too close to that pink slip right now already. " Wait don't answer that" Shadow rolled his eyes, great first day on the job and he was talking to himself. That would go down well, but then he was already classed as crazy when he'd first talked back to Taylor. In all honest truth he didn't think one fizzed up beer bottle would go this far, but then it was obvious Taylor wasn't one of the worlds greatest guys. Not in Shadow's opinion anyway, not like it mattered anyway.

With a shrug and a sigh he went to work on the bloodstains.Dropping to his knees he began to scrub the stains. He was never afraid of hard work or blood, just the events so far had put him in a cranky mood He was quiet around the couple. Not wanting to break her concentration or bring further attention to himself.Not wanting her wrath on his head, voluntarily anyway.

He glanced up towards Caleb, the star being his main concern.And the man didn't look to great. He was pale and unsteady on his feet. How could he go on and perform without the care of a doctor. If he passed out in the middle of his set, it would be bad for everyone concerned And he wanted to preserve his neck for as long as possible. "You sure you don't need the doctor, he looks kinda ill" He asked the concern thick in his voice, true concern for Caleb and just a little need for self preservation.. At least if they did nothing his ass was covered if Caleb did get worse and pass out between now and the time Delta was due on stage.

That need for self preservation.didn't last long, in fact it lasted as long as it took Taylor to open his mouth again. "At least If I had done it I wouldn't hide behind the hired help" He grinned. A devilish look in his eyes as he stared right back at Taylor. Slowly he soaked the cloth he was using, Time to see how good the demon's reflexes were, or weren't depending on the results, " But then I'm not the one with the yellow streak. I'm not scared to stand up to what I did, but then I guess when you are a bass player so stuck up on your own ego you become a little yellow" A devilish grin spread wide on his face as he threw the wet cloth at Taylor. It would probably earn him the sack, but if that wet, bloodstained cloth hit him it would be worth it. Long as he didn't end up with too many more injuries. Well if he did he could take it to the press. So there are good aspects to whatever next. He just hoped it wasn't painful whatever happened. He was allergic to pain after all.

[Asphyxia]

As the goddess went to dab along her saint's features, she'd all but didn't count on his immediate retract that slipped by her fingers ever so slickly without her vampire skills intervening at lightning speed, deeming down the hopes of wiping all the dried out crimson staining his flawless, innocent features. Her hands involuntarily balled up the unused tissue, seeing she didn't have use for it as her boyfriend clearly was trying to avoid it, and made sure to dispose of it immediately. Even though she hoped that it wouldn't raise any further threats, the sharpened hunger striking deeper into the pit of her stomach was surfacing a crackling sound through her throat, kin to that of flames rippling through a hollow, damped opening, leaving her in firm place, brooding about the literal mess pooled behind her and the remnants of it slathered over her sweetheart. Her dominant blues could only follow as Caleb's curiosity got the best of him and slid his hand to feel the fully healed injury caused by a glass beer bottle, which all shards had been removed in the magical process of her perfected power. The simple notion caused her to shake her head and feign a sigh of annoyance quickly marred by a sweetened smile across her naturally stained lips, watching as his hands dropped down. His silent, dropped demand drew a more genuine smile across her already widened lips, her blues marveling through the planes of his features, settling momentarily over the phantom appearance of his cascading rubies. She'd let another fake stressed sigh, letting her frame sigh along with the simple movement, not realizing the waste of air supply she had deliberately used, meaning she needed more to respond. Her breathing came in short, quick bursts, tickling the similar feeling she had earlier along the length of her innards, stabbing hunger signals again into her stomach, which she perfectly masked through the returning smile stealing her dazzling features away into a more dreamy, dizzying beauty. "To where... oh," her voice began, her eyes dragging out through the space available in their socket and peripheral to observe her surroundings as if in desperate search of a persuading answer not to, but as much as she dissected the options in her mind, the thought had suddenly become more appealing than staying here, letting wondering eyes observe what they could cherish in the privacy of alone time or what she assumed is what he wanted for the two. The change was noticeable in the way Lilly perked up her shoulders from her sagged positions, the straight accentuate of her cascading, glittering red hair sliced through the air with her movement before falling into position, arraying itself in different places than before. "Okay." Her fingers curled up around his hand, lifting herself in one fluid movement and wove them through their concave shape that were meant for hers, all thought of hunger immediately forgotten thanks to the play of her emotional strings focus compromised by the idea of their together time and the overwhelming burns of his skin temperature. About to follow the lingering thought with a sort of giddy content, a question had been brought that made her elated moves all but melt down in their easy formation. A more quiet brooding was left to define her features and her body composure, the intimacy of his questioning words and the slight surveying of his eyes caused a sense of relief inside of her, but not enough to turn all potential threat of Caleb becoming an evening meal as impossible as when their destinies had decided to ever encounter. The importance of his care level for her nature was something none other couple could devote themselves to with such negating conflicts but they'd made it possible with Lilly's human tendencies creating the reality make her seem as if she wasn't a supernatural force beyond human nature, but sometimes she also forgot that she wasn't human and that she had to keep herself away from controlled temptation. Her icy blues gave one assured scan around the stained blood still decorating parts of the floor and perhaps other places she'd fail to see, but they were unimportant right now and would be from this instance. A smile fashioned for the umpteenth time today her features, gratifying her flawless, unnatural beauty she was blessed with since existence.
Her figure leaned forward, a little too quick to lead to a conclusion as to where she was heading to, and her lips pressed firmly on Caleb's temple where blood had been collected, the familiar smell of rust, salt and a mix of what she'd found sweet and mouth-watering filled her senses, wafting around her dormant emotions, awakening senses that only she knew she'd made a mistake by not feeding before being with her boyfriend, kicking herself internally about the critical state she just strode into without factoring the rock star into the equation as mild temptation. Perfect in many ways didn't count for still having feelings and a faulty mind in a lot of aspects, especially when it came to thinking over things, rational things like feeding to be around humans. Of course, now that Caleb had taken into account getting them away from this place, Lilly had made a mental note of where they could possibly head and what could she make out of it. Surely, her dearly beloved didn't want to remain a mess and his placated rejection of the white towelette had registered only in the vampire's grasp; she knew Caleb only too well to come to terms with his aversion towards these things, always compared to a child. "We should still tidy you up..." her lingering tension was only kept to retrieve their separated distance, whispering the exchange so it'd remain more private. "It'd... it'd be easier on me." She fidgeted with these last sentences, letting only the color over her cheeks intensify just by the natural exert of her smile but not by the blood filling in her body -- there was none. Trying to shield herself behind her hair, Lilly willingly dodged around him and led him through the left mess toward the hall where the bathroom would be found almost immediately. While leading toward her destination, she dipped quickly toward the couch where she had left a purse with necessary things like the one most essential she needed and now. Thinking in love-struck ways always had her prepared for any crazy happenstance that happened to present in their way like it seemed to do so often for the perfect little couple but they'd always conquer whatever it was, showing problem that it wasn't a match for their love. [ew cute xD] Thankfully, Lilly hadn't been paying too much of her attention toward the further taunting of Shadow toward Tyler who had shown what hostilities he was capable of if threatened by potential danger like the groupie had willingly offered to tense into the atmosphere even though the bassist was all for tension between the lovebirds who coped with whatever harm was thrown in their direction and silently fleeted away from ignorant behavior. Shadow, however, hadn't learned his lesson but Lilly was eager to run away from this mess that was taking her one step closer to exposing whatever benefit of doubt she'd given Caleb's band as to what she really was. None of them were stupid however human she might apparent, but none of them, to her understanding, had come to really put a finger on what revelation she'd poured on her little angel about her true nature, which was partially a relief and had its downs. Now wasn't of the matter, and the stunning beauty still wanted to run away from the painful scene, so she had willingly pulled treasure into her easily breezing steps towards the bathroom.

[that was as much as I came to modify from my original, saved post? xD sorry the events are sort of scattered. you'll deal ^^]
