Tsu's eyes followed the half elf as he shuffled in the water trying to comfort Arioch. He wasn't surprised at all that she refused his gentle hold. He wanted to call her a bitch for refusing his comfort but....not everyone was too keen on things like that. He hated showing his appearance to anyone...and even more to let them get to know him. He was never sure when they would try to back stab him like the King had. He idly sat up in the bath, reached behind himself caressing the thorny choker which obscured the curse upon his neck.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"So close to....so close to being a slave....his slave..."</span>the demon murmured to himself.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"He almost deciphered it..."</span>he murmured softly again, running his fingers through his dark hair.<b>â??Tsuâ??Ro, youâ??ll join us, wonâ??t you? Not just to the Capital, but our journey?â? </b><br/><br/>Tsu'Ro snapped out of his trance with a small smile towards the other, hazel eyes somewhat saddened now.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"Yes...I would be honored to..."</span>he said with a small nod, of his head. He shifted in the water a bit more, pressing the palms of his hands onto the edge of the bath. He then hoisted himself up and out of the water. When the cool air around them gently caressed his pale skin, he shuddered. He sighed softly, retracting the stem from his neck just a bit, he rubbed his fingers over the healing skin around his neck, feeling the spell reconstruct itself. After his encounter with the king, he discovered what he was really meant for. He was unable to take his mind off of the tattoo, or the fact that he was nothing but a mere tool for his clan's disposal.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"I think I'll return to my room now...to get some rest...."</span>Tsu announced to Brand and Valen, as well....the elf walked out before she could know. Not like it mattered anyhow.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"My room number is 12... Come see me whenever you are ready to depart..."</span>Tsu said to Valen and Brand as stood up from the bath, with a slight bow toward the two. Tsu then headed for the exit. He needed a rest. Perhaps some sleep would take his mind off the things he was thinking of at the moment. Taking his hand from his neck, he allowed the stem of the rose to encircle his neck once again, ripping the freshly healed skin, blood slowly dripping down his neck and onto his chest and a bit of his upper back.
