Quick as a cobra Io tried to plant a kiss on her lips, and he almost succeeded despite the fact that she had been prepared. It didn't seem like he was going to appologize about it either, he just winked at her.<br/>"Babe, you sparcle already."<br/>When they left the appartment, Io pulled up that ace of spades he'd been looking for. He dragged it over the lock on the door a few times, then cursed loudly as he seemed to cut his finger on the card, a few drops of blood hitting the floor.<br/>"Mother...humper!" he yelled, sucking his finger. "Let this be a lesson to you, kid," he said, turning to Lily. "We Lost use alot of trinkets and charms to make life easier, but they always, and I mean always, demand a price. No matter how hard I try to avoid it, I always cut my finger on this frickin card!"
