Angel dropped the controller and stood up, moving towards the red-haired sidhe. In the blink of an eye, he was gazing down at Lhachlhass from the bed, all sharp claws and glowing red eyes. The shadows in the room lengthened and flickered; the TV and light fixtures dimmed perceptibly, and cast strange colors off into the darkness like blossoms into a river.
"Are you bothering my snake?" he hissed.

Lhachlhass made no change of expression at Angel's show, he just continued to chew slowly his eyes wandering between Angel and Frog.
Then he gave one of his fanged smiles, taking aim he spit the contents of his mouth at Frog's face. "Sorry you're such a crybaby." He sang.
Then he turned to Angel looking up at him, he bared his teeth and let out a low growl. It was all he felt he needed to say.

Korlian hit his forehead violently. He leapt at his brother, knocking him over... and out of Angel's way. He smacked him hard over the ears, pinning him.
"What kind of idiot ARE YOU?! Maybe I should tie you up and give you to Veronique along with an iron knife!" he snarled. "You OBVIOUSLY want to die! How hard is it to be intelligent just once? Just ONCE, Lhachlhass! This is why we are HERE!"

Frog took advantage of Lhachlhass's moment of vulnerability to snatch the armful of cakes and candy away from Lhachlhass, hugging them close to himself and grinning.
"Now, maybe if you're really nice to me, I'll share my things with you," he sang. "Maybe. You did already eat a lot of them, and I only share my things with people I like." He sniffed at Lhachlhass and wrinkled his nose. "And you smell weird."

--- ((Cont'd from Lost and Confused.)) Frog held Ellie's hand firmly as he pushed the door open, peering inside for his roommate. He hummed softly an old German lullaby, though he couldn't quite remember all the words. It was something about beds of flowers, and angels, and dreaming of paradise. "Angel?" he called quietly, tugging the woman behind him. "I have something to show you."

Angel lay on the bed, reading the book he'd picked out from the library. It was a nice enough book, and he'd finished it quickly, but he wasn't sure he understood it. He certainly had no idea what he was supposed to discuss.
He turned at the sound of the door opening, and something in him fluttered at the sound of Frog's voice. He marked his place in the book and put it aside, rolling onto his stomach.
"What have you got, little snake?"

Frog tilted his head slightly, stepping aside and leaving Angel face to face with the woman.
"I found her," he replied, staring up at Angel. "She has the outside on her."
He looked back at Ellie. "It's okay," he said sweetly. "This is Angel. He's going to help."

Ellie shuffled forward from behind the blond lad and approached the lounging boy. She wrung her hands in front of her, looking around the room through the curtain of hair that had fallen to one side of her face. She felt on the verge of tears again, but she bit her lips and shoved her hands in her pockets.
"I don't know what happened or what's going on," she confessed, "Or where I am..."

Angel sat up and looked deeply into the woman's eyes. She was... striking in her sorrow. Beautiful.
Delicious. He reached out without thinking and grabbed at the air in front of Ellie's face and tugged. Deep sparkling blue, swimming and shifting with other colors at the edges, popped out from her head and moved into Angel's mouth, flickering his glamour slightly.
He collapsed back onto the bed and grinned broadly. "Thanks. So what needs help?"

Ellie froze, blinked, shrank back. Something was gone, and she couldn't decide what. She gave the boy a once-over and furrowed her brow. "Where have I been?" she asked after a few minutes. "And where am I now? And where did I get these?" She looked down at her own arms, seeing the bruises here and there. They weren't bad-- simple discolorations of the skin. Already they had faded from their original greyish-purple and had taken on a yellowing tinge.
"And who...who are you two? I haven't seen anyone else in the... whatever this castle is."
She felt like there was someone-- several someones-- she wanted to see. A particular pair, especially. But no names came to her.
"And.... what did you do?"

"You've been outside the walls of Dunehelden. You're at Dunehelden. I don't know. I'm Angel, and this is Frog. And I didn't do anything in particular."
Angel smiled beatifically up at Ellie.

Frog glanced back at Ellie, tilting his head at her. For a moment, he seemed to be deep in thought. Swiftly, the boy bounded across the beds and started shuffling through the nightstand. After a few moments, he managed to find precisely what he was looking for, hopped back over, and stretched his hand out to Ellie.
"Here," he insisted, offering her a quite delectable-looking hunk of chocolate brownie that was unmistakably made by Rhythan. "It'll make you feel better."

Ellie looked from one boy to the other and took the brownie gingerly from the blond one, something akin to a smile tugging at one corner of her lips.
"Thank you," she muttered, picking at one corner of the brownie. Something tugged at the corners of her mind, an image of someone tall, and impossibly pale. They were quoting something, which Ellie recognized to be Shakespeare. Possibly King Lear. Odd what she could recall, when one considered what she could not.
Her stomach warned of harsh repercussions to eating something so sweet after being away from... normal food... for so long. Ellie continued to pick absentmindedly at the brownie and returned her attentions to the young men.

Frog watched her for a moment, somewhat confused by her apparently lack of desire for sweets. If she wasn't tempted by the delicious chocolate, then she was clearly much worse than Frog had thought.
"You should stay here with us," Frog said calmly. He reached out toward her, plucking at the frizzy bronze curls. "You have very pretty hair."

"You want to keep her?" Angel looked at Frog. "I think they'll be looking for her, but I can figure something out. Where'd you find her, anyway?"

Frog glanced back at Angel, hopping on the end of Ange's bed and sitting. "I found her in the hall," he replied, turning back to Ellie. "She seemed like she was looking for something. She was all alone."
He turned back to Angel. "Besides, you get all kinds of toys," he pleaded. "I want this one."

"Of course you can have one." Angel lay his head against Frog. "Especially one you caught yourself. We'll just need to make sure she doesn't run off too far again."
He looked at Ellie. "What's your full name?"

Ellie bit her lip, still pondering over what she had heard. She was more than slightly alarmed at being considered a toy, and shrank back ever more-- towards the door.
"Why?" she asked, her voice now barely above a squeak. She felt her eyes beginning to sting and she blinked several times.

Angel leapt from his prone position, over Ellie, and between her and the door.
"We want to make sure no one can drag you out to the forest and do this to you again," he grinned pointily.
And that was true, if not entirely.

Frog nodded adamantly. "We'll protect you," he promised. "We'll keep you safe. All you have to do is stay here and play with us, and we'll make sure nothing ever hurts you." Frog smiled sweetly at her.

Ellie's mouth pursed slightly and she hugged her arms to her middle, dropping the brownie on the floor.
"But... But I want to leave," she insisted, her voice beginning to sound watery. "I don't want to be a toy!" Something about the situation was so very off, and so very frightening, though both lads spoke calmly and sweetly. She may have been able to force her way out if it were the blond boy that blocked the door and not this... what had he been called? Angel? Yes. Angel and Frog. Angel was not much bigger than Ellie herself, though his acrobatics a moment before shunned from Ellie's mind any thought of having control of the situation.
She should have just walked away from Frog in the first place, she chided herself.

Frog tilted his head in confusion. Why on earth would she want to leave? They had been perfectly nice to her, after all.
"But you're my friend now," he pleaded, taking her hands in his. "You can't leave."

Ellie mirrored his expression. Only when she compared it to Frog's hands did she realize how very cold her skin was.
"I can be your friend without staying here," she said, slowly. "Isn't that right, Frog? There's a whole castle out there." And woods, too. But Ellie would never set foot in those woods again if she could help it.

Angel leaned over a bit, still standing behind Ellie.
"Of course you can stay in the castle. We don't have space to keep you in this room, and the whole place is ours. We just need to make sure you come back here sometimes, so Frog can have his fun."

Ellie jumped a bit at the sound of his voice, but soon after gave a short sigh of relief. She was not going to argue the "the whole place is ours" line, primarily due to the fact that these two were the only people she had met, and that if she had at one point known who the castle actually belonged to, she didn't now.
"Oh, that's no problem," she assured Angel, hooking her hair behind her ears. "I thought I was going to be held captive or something and experimented on." She almost added again, but managed to bite her tongue before that particular sentiment could get out.
Ellie bent slightly at the waist to glance at the door. Something was nagging at the back of her mind now. She straightened, her brow furrowed in an odd concentration, wondering whose image it was that kept swimming back to her. There were two, both of similar heights, both male, both always happy to see her.
Ellie took an unconscious half-step towards the door.
