(ty! <3)
"You-wha-oh."
It took Baå a minute to gather his thoughts enough to think of a new plan of attack. He blinked in confusion, tring to process what he'd just been told.
"You could run away," he urged. "You clearly hate it here. What even are they making you do?"
(np!)
Cael closed his eyes tightly, taking a deep breath. "They…" He shuddered slightly. "I…" He didn't want to admit what they did to him.
"Come on," Baå said more firmly. "You don't have to talk about it, but let's just get the hell out of here. You're giving me the creeps."
He reached out and tugged on Cael's arm, and instantly his band gave a bright glow, visible even under his gloves. Baå binked at it for a second, then looked back up at Cael.
Cael's band glowed too, bright and brilliant, a rainbow of color blooming to life on his finger.
The manager finally made it over, a tall man behind him. "Tornfeather. Where are you going? You've still got work for tonight, you know."
Cael's throat closed up, and he reached over, blindly grabbing at Baå's arm fearfully.
Baå narrowed his eyes at the manager, stepping forward and blocking the way to Cael. "Who are you?" he snapped. "Whos Tornfeather?"
Cael bit his lip. "I'm Tornfeather." He mumbled to Baå. "Cael Tornfeather."
The manager narrowed his eyes. "I could say the same thing of you." He retorted, crossing his arms. "I am the manager here."
(bump?)
(omg, I'm so sorry, I forgot it was my turn! My bad! Thanks for the bump!)
"And what do you want with him?" Baä shot back, folding his own arms. "I'm talking to him right now."
(it's okay! And I'm actually not gonna be active tonight, sorry)
"Well, he's my employee, and he still has work to do. Now skedaddle." The manager replied, looking at Baå.
Cael shivered slightly.
(That was perfect, as neither was I xDD I probably won't be on very much, since I'm not feeling great rn, sorry)
Baå looked at Ceal incredulously. "You work here? What the heck are you doing that for?"
(haha XD alright, it's fine! Don't worry about it!)
Cale's eyes flickered away, looking at the floor. He nodded a little bit. "I-I signed a contract that I…I…" he didn't want to admit that he had only wanted to sing. He had only wanted to be able to make music. Not…not this.
The manager scoffed. "It doesn't matter why, only that he is."
(So I was thinking…after this bit is over, maybe Cael ends up bringing Baå back to his home, because Baå tells him that he's homeless, so they end up kind of begrudgingly living together?? and end up falling in love?? idk)
(I'm so sorry, but I'm going to continue to be spotty, right now I have two jobs, plus school plus caring for my rescue dog, plus counselling TwT I promise I'll keep up with you as much as possible! Sorry if my replies are shorter than normal as well :/)
(Okay, yeah, that's perfect! ^^ How would you like this scene to end? Do you want Baå to bust him out? xD)
(it's okay! I'm usually pretty patient lol. Don't worry about it)
(Hmm. Yes busting him out is perfect! I was kinda just thinking that Baå ends up getting really protective of Cael and stuff)
(Gonna give this a little bump)
(Hey, hey, I'm back, and I have defeated the depresso, apparently. Can't guarantee I'll be on every night, but I'll be there as much as I can manage :) THanks so much for being so patient <3)
(Sure thing, Baå isn't about to let anyone mess with this angel he just found a few days ago xDD)
"I think it should matter," Baå said, glaring at the manager. "But to be perfectly honest, I don't care. He's uncomfortable, so back off."
(Hey! I missed you!! Take as much time as you need :))
(XD)
The manager snorted. "He has a job to do." he replied, shaking his head. "Comfort doesn't really matter."
Cael felt like he might cry. He didn't want to do this. He didn't want to spend another night in someone's bed, letting them do whatever they wanted because they had paid for him like he was some sort of…like he was some thing.
(I missed you too! And this rp, I've been excited to get back into it :D And thank-you <3)
"I said back off," Baå snapped, taking a step in between Cael and the manager. "You don't want to get messed up with me, I'll tell you that right now. I'm leaving, and he's coming with me."
With that, the demon whipped around and grabbed Cael's wrist, marching away towards the door.
"Let's get out of here," he muttered. "I'm getting some seriously creepy vibes from this place"
( :D no problem <3)
Cael's eyes widened a little as Baå pulled him along, swallowing softly. "Y-yeah." he said quietly, brushing a strand of golden hair out of his face.
Baå wasted no time in ushering Cael out onto the street and several blocks away before he finally stopped, turning to face the angel with his hands on his hips.
"And what in the world were you doing in a place like that?" he demanded.
(gtg for the night, hopefully I'll make tomorrow night :D)
Cael hunched his shoulders a little, looking down at his feet. "I told you, I work there." he mumbled. He guessed that Baå hadn't guessed exactly what "working there" entailed, and…and he didn't know how to tell him. He felt his chest catch like he was about to cry, and he curled in tighter around himself.
(Alright! Sweet dreams, see ya later :) )
Baå frowned, noticing for the first time how truly upset the angel looked.
"Well…" He tried to think of anything that could actually comfort his…new friend? Maybe. He wasn't sure the angel would say that, so he stifled the thought.
"You don't have to go back," he finally said. "No one can make you."
Cael swallowed hard, taking a shaky breath. "I-I…I don't know about that…" he replied softly. "But…thank you…" he almost hated that he had to thank Baå for something, but at the same time…Baå hadn't had to help him.
"Are you going to be okay?" Baå asked, genuinely concerned. He was worried the angel would keel over in the spot and he'd have to…well, he had no idea what he'd do. What would he do? THere was nothing he could do.
"Just don't pass out on me, okay? I don't have anywhere to take you."
Cael took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "I'm fine." He said quietly, running a hand through his blonde hair, looking up at Baå and trying to process all of this.
(bump?)
(omg, apparently, I suck??? I thought i let everyone know when I left, I'm so sorry :( Imma have to keep this on hold for now, but hopefully later we can pick it up again, if you're still into it?)
(oh you did let me know! I commented on the thread you made haha, I knew you were gone. We can pick it up if/when you want, yeah)
(Oh, okay, I panicked there for a second xD I'll let you know, I did have a lot of fun with this <3)
(xD alright!)
