Open up the Hollow

[Razvan]

Razvan, the strangest houseguest a person could ask for, did not mellow in the twenty one days he had been staying at Hana and Bear's humble abode. He was nearly healed now,; his arm no longer needing a sling and heavy cast was now wrapped only in bandages that served as a brace and the same went for his leg. Like any animal that was fast healing he was alert and antsy. With a simple walking cane provided by the very accomodating Bear  he was now hobbling his way around the house as well. This day, with the big dog off at work and chubby Finn watching calmly from a blanket covered play area in the living room, he came upon a bookshelf. Some tomes were newer and he was turned off to them immediately, but one was incredibly old and he was attracted to it because the text was celestial. Razvan knew the bindings of such a book were blessedly all natural so he had no time to scoff and claim about it being an unnatural abomination to angels. but when he opened it up, he didnt know he had been expecting. It was the accounts of an angel sure but not one of his kind, no this was one of Hana's people. What had he expected, that she would have some record of blood angels? There was never any record of them, and he hadnt seen any in a long, long time.

[Hana Tachiban]

The past month had actually been kind of nice. Razvan wasn't as insufferable as usual, mostly because he knew he couldn't escape if he pissed Hana off, so everyone tended to mesh pretty well. That, and he was pretty much a free babysitter. She could put Finn down on his blanket and then walk away, and be confident that Raz wouldn't let the baby choke on anything.
That's exactly what she was doing, too. She'd left Finn to drool on his favorite dog plushie and was preparing food for Raz in the kitchen. Even though the wall was cutaway and she could see them, it was still nice to have someone nearby on guard.
"That is the history profile on my mother, written by the seraph scribes after she was killed. She was incredibly accomplished." The book was broken down the way Wikipedia articles read: Personal Life, Career, Accomplishments, Education. For someone who only lived to their mid-thirties, the book was rather long.
"It's the only thing I've got of her." Tucked in the front, just a hair away from sliding out of the book, was a portrait of the woman in question. It was one of those staged kind, like they did for English royalty, with the woman in formal garb and all of her hair and wings decorated for the event. It was like looking at Hana, if she ever aged a decade or two. "Pretty cool, hm?"
Hana walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of kidney stew to hand to Razvan. "You don't have any record of where you're from, do you? Is there anything written about blood angels?"

[Razvan]

The home was a warm and happy one. Hana's child was fine proof of this as he lay there, round and awesome and perpetually giggling. Right now he seemed overjoyed as, when Hana approached Raz, he turned slightly to address her and a loose feather dropped off his left wing and landed in Finn's lap and oh how he was enthralled by the deep red artifact. As he squealed away Razvan remained a sharp contrast. Hana's mother from what he read was the sort of angel even he would aspire to, being so dedicated and decorated but she wasnt one of the blood angels, they were barely even angels and didnt count as them by the literal definition. When he came upon her portrait he noted. "she looks like you if you expressed restraint." it was the man basically saying that she was far scarier than this delicate portrait. He seemed to stiffen more than usual when she mentioned his kind.He carefully set the book back on the shelf, took the bow and made his way to the table.

"If there are, I have not seen them. We were made by the interim god of life before the return of Yoya. That was only two thousand years ago. I was among the first three, though my soul has seen three bodies now. The current one was the original and Rhaego restored me to it.The god of life never took such care, hence why there is a lack of records.I am not even certain how many of us remain." he finished before taking a seat.

[Hana Tachiban]

Hana furrowed her brow. "I'm too hot-headed to ever be like her. She reflected on everything, never made a decision until she'd weighed all of the consequences. I am. . .very much the opposite." After a nervous laugh, having dwelled too long upon one of her biggest flaws, Hana went to bother her son.
"You should look for them," Hana mentioned, bending to take the feather from Finn. He looked concerned for a moment, having been in awe of the thing, but then Hana began tickling beneath his chin with it. He scrunched himself up and made spit bubbles while he filled the room with peals of laughter. Hana was especially victim to the infectious noise. Without any fuss, the half-'pire put the feather back in his chubby hands and followed Raz to the table.
"It's not like you don't have the time to look. You can carry out Rhaego's will while searching just the same. There's nothing to lose. If anything, you can gain a little insight about where you came from."

[Razvan]

It was funny watching Razvan's reaction to certain simple tools one used in a home. He lived in a cave when he wasnt traversing the globe with a path that dwarfed migratory birds. Here he was now though, navigating a fat wooden spoon into a bowl of his beloved kidneys. He looked healthier than ever, with some color too him and his lean undernourished frame had actually beefed up a little. His lovely wings were healed and his arm was now capable of holding said spoon with ease. The FIRST thing he taught himself to do was use that arm again so Hana wouldnt spoon feed him along with Finn. Finn meanwhile seemed to have grown fond of 'Uncle Razzy' who's quiet serious countenence resembled a grumpy housepet.But overall he was like a hawk ready to be released, from his wild looking eyes to his feathery white hair.

He glanced over at his fellow celestial as she spoke of her mother. "No kidding" he murmured, as catty as ever. "I should though.. It may please Rhaego if I gathered my kindred to aid my efforts. They are the only ones who can possibly grasp what i do. You understand to an extent but Yoya's angel is a complete hinderance and the Sin god..makes me look as dangerous as the boy." Finn did good to emphasize the blood angels point by getting the feather stuck in his red floof just out of reach of his stubby arms causing him to topple onto his back like a turtle.

[Hana Tachiban]

Hana, seated across from Raz, simply frowned at the blood angel. "Yes, well, I suppose that's why he's a god and we're not. Though, rumor has it that he's not just sin anymore, but both vice AND virtue." Hana looked sour talking about Lazarus.
"I really think you should pursue this. If nothing comes of it, at least you searched, but it would be a waste if you passed up the opportunity." She continued talking, but her eyes shifted past Raz to watch Finn. That kid's surreal epicness made Hana sometimes consider that he couldn't possibly share blood with her. . .but then again, he had her eyes, and there was no mistaking that shade of crazy ass blue.
"Will you let me help you? I'm not sure what there is that I can do, but this is. . .it's kind of a big deal, and you shouldn't have to do it without any assistance."

[Razvan]

Razvan had a hilarious lack of enthusiasm for gods that werent Rhaego or Rayen and only reigned himself in when he feared with would upset his own god. This included sin and virtue. The herald himself was a good example of sin and virtue, committing sins for virtuous reasons,. What Hana proposed though, was particularly virtuous. As he slurped down stew with less that spectacular table manners he thought. "You would wish to join me? That may please Rayen." he mused, trying to find reason in what she said. He couldnt after all, imagine anyone helping him just because. Though Hana he had to admit, got in his good graces with all her helping. "What would you do with the red ones?" Bear was on his way back from a merc job and Razvan knew soon the house would be bustling with big bellow and tiny giggles.

[Hana Tachiban]

Hana shrugged and continued watching Finn, as Raz was hardly as interesting to look at. Watching grass grow would be time better spent.
"Why would I have to do something with them? Razvan," she began, leaning back in her chair, "When I first met you, I thought you were misguided. If I couldn't destroy you, then I was going to purify you to the best of my abilities. And I did, but it wasn't in your best interest. You were. . .passive, pliable, cowardly. You didn't really have a purpose anymore, because I had taken it away from you." She looked at him now, so much seriousness in her eyes that she actually looked like the portrait of her mother.
"So if I can help your cause now. . .actually help it, regardless of your current alignment, then I at least owe you that. And I expect to gain nothing from it, except to see an ally and friend grasp the knowledge he was looking for. So don't be too proud in this venture. If there's anything I can do to help you, I would hope you'd ask me. I'm not useless. . .and I'm better at talking to people than you are," she chided, smiling.

[Razvan]

The angel shrugged. "Well I doubt you could take them. The small one is still bite-sized." Little Finn was making his way towards Momma and Uncle Raz as fast as his chubby,stubby limbs could move him as the bloody one studied Hana with his usual wild-eyed look. He seemed so simple minded sometimes but he listened. He had never spoken of his time as the marshmallowy pure version of himself but he had never liked it and a spark seemed to flare up in his eyes a moment. "All I can remember of that time was the gnawing sense of having had, and lost, something massive. I am making up for lost time now. If you want to help you may, as long as you are resignd to the fact that I will not change." Oh he was astubborn one, but then he added, with one last slurp of stew. "I am not one for words."

No sooner did he say that than Mr Flanagan burst in through the front door. "Han! Lads, come look!" Bear, bursting with pride, would have wagged his tail if he had it, for held out in his mitts, was a magazine. It was a men's fashion magazine. The theme was rugged outdoorsmen and lo and behold in a half un-buttoned green flannel shirt was Hana's future hubby, with the headline 'Grin and Bear it:The croc-wrestling new face of RAWR magazine.

[Hana Tachiban]

Hana switched between staring at Finn with her heart in her eyes, to staring at Raz with the same eerie intensity that he liked to look at things. He was insanely and predictably stubborn, which worked as a gift and a curse. That same stubbornness was why he and Hana remained enemies for a long, long time. "If it betters you, I'll help without question, so long as it doesn't interfere with my duties as prophet."
She got out of her seat and knelt before Finn, who was so excited that he'd crawled so far. She was just praising him for his journey when Bear burst in to liven the party, and Finn's face spread into a charming smile reminiscent of his father's.
"What is it?" Hana asked, moving over to the bearded Adonis. She looked down at the magazine cover, at the beauty on the front of it in his unbuttoned flannel, and felt her insides twist a little. It was a while before she tore her gaze away, and when she did, her face was flush red.
"Of course they picked you. They'd have been stupid not to. Um...think I can have that? For...reading?"
Finn, stoked little Finn, he just reached his drooly hand out at Bear and babbled away.

[Razvan]

Bear just chuckled and handed Hana the magazine.He got a kick out of her blushing, as, well she just didnt seem like the type to blush, but HE got her to.He supressed his laughter long enough to kiss Hana's cheek while raz glowered on, and scooped up wee Finn. "they said moi smile looks real, so i said, course it LOOKs real, it is! and boom, on th' cover." Razvan stared and stared, but he had been talking with Hana and the stiff, unsavory exchange of words hadnt quite ended yet. "We will go then. Attend to what you must, bu I will not wait long." it was easy for Razvan to pack, he didnt HAVe anything, well he had one thing.. "Where is my loincloth?'

[Hana Tachiban]

It was pretty true. Hana didn't blush or embarrass hardly ever, but Bear was somehow able to reduce her to a giggling teen all the time. She tucked the magazine under her arm and relinquished Finn, who had since lost interest in Hana due to his overwhelming joy for his dad's arrival.
"We'll go as soon as you'd like," she agreed with Raz, facing him briefly. Then she looked back at Bear. "I'm going to help him find other blood angels...maybe get a little insight as to why he is...him." She shrugged and moved to collect Raz's bowl, but at the mention of his loincloth, she looked conveniently aloof. "Haven't seen it in a while. Love, you see his loincloth?"

[Razvan]

Bear simply shook his head no and hugged his son. Razvan snorted in disdain and looked down at what he was wearing. "This would not suit me for travel though, if you managed to lose my sole possession I would like a decent replacement." Bear grinned impishly and tousled his son's epic red tuft. "We could find him some leather, thats natural roit?" he had this vision of the skinny tattooed creature like some sort of gothic rock star. He LOOKEd like a walking heavy metal album cover already.

[Hana Tachiban]

Hana groaned. Recently, she'd seen Razvan begin to budge on a few matters and start to not be so goddamn insufferable. . .but he ultimately was the herald of Rhaego, and with that came an unhealthy dose of. . .persistence. "Fine, we'll make a new one out of leather. Just. . .continue wearing pants for a while. . .there are children present."
She shook her head and kissed Bear's cheek. "I'm not sure how long we'll be gone for. You gonna be okay alone with the little man? Crimson might be in town. You could call him."

[Razvan]

Of course children did not register in Razvan's mind as requiring special treatment. Had he even ever BEEN one? The bellingerent man did grudgingly nodded and give out a snort yo indicate that he agreed to her terms and started towards the door. "Prepare yourself then, i will prepare myself for the trip and see if i can obtain some sort of non metal armor for my right arm, to avoid further catastrophic destruction to it." Bear watched him go before replying. "Ee sounds gran love. The boys, being red and rowdy and such. Will you miss us much?" He gave her, what else, but puppy dog eyes while little Finn sat in his arms and burbled.

<This is where other rps happen ,gets armor, takes a few days la la la music>


Razvan..well HOw he got it without money mustve required an adventure unto itself but he came back, just two days later bedecked in a nice piece of leather armor that ran down his right shoulder and arm and resembled wood quite gorgeously. He walked right on in. "Are you ready? work must be done!"
