::Lillith lands gracefully n the other side of the portal, waiting for the others to come through. She wasn't even sure if Kenny was coming, but she felt that she really needed him there now if she was going to get through this. August is the next to step through, and she doesn't take her eyes off the portal to speak to him::
Lillith: Why Macalania?

::August emerges from the portal doorway, brushing himself with his free hand.::
It's far from that demoness and the crystline forest helps masks energy from outside influence or scrying.
::Setting down his bag, he kneels over it and opens it. He takes out one of his tomes, slowly stands as he begins to read a few odd sounding verses from its pages. As he speaks, the forest begins to glow pleasently, providing light. It also feels as if the fiends and monsters that reside here have just been pushed back into their burrows and places of hidings.::
There, that should do well for now.
::Shutting the book, he drops it back into his black-bag and turns back to Lillith.::
Well, how does it feel to once again be an outcast from your home?

::In spite of everything, Lillith smiles::
There was no home for me there. Can't believe it took me that long to see it. Maybe if I'd done so sooner....
::She can't bring herself to say the words. Melanie would still be here::

::August slightly nods.::
Perhaps, but even a broken home is a home. Ah...
::August looks about, contemplating something. With another adjustment of his glasses he looks back at Lillith.::
Since we're marked, there's not many places we could go where Natalia wouldn't find us. My place in Vector would suffice once things calm down a hair but, for how long...? No, no there must be another course of action... and I still need that book
::August makes a gesture of ephiny.::
I got it, but first about that book? You know anything about it, it could be a key to subdueing Natalia.

::Lillith looks at August, emotionless at first, but she steps slowly to him and strikes him across the face with her palm::
Lillith: How can you still be thinking about that book?! Are you even interested in using it to stop Natalia? Or are you just after it for your own ends? How can you be so selfish after what my sister did for you?!
::She looks down at the ground and when she speaks her voice is level again::
Lillith: I'm sorry. I know you're just trying to help. But I think I know another way.
::She looks up again with a dark look in her eye::
Lillith: Rainii Loire. If anyone can kill that witch once and for all, it's her.

:Kenny appeared from the portal landing on his back hard, he still had it hard travelling through portals but it was worth it to follow Lillith for now. He then got up and noticed Lillith and approached her to try and comfort her after what happened.:
"Are you gonna be ok Lillith?"

::August rubs his face.::
Suppose I deserved that, so Rainii you say? That was the one Natalia was fighting in the center of the city, right? Then perhaps she is still with that... Shaft person. Any clue where they could of gone.
::He then notices Kenny and greets him.::
So you deiced to follow, excellent, more the merrier.
::August grabs his dagger and slices the doorway, it vanishes quickly.::

::Lillith's face brightens instantly at Kenny's arrival. She throws her arms around him and hangs on like he's the only thing real right now::
Lillith: I'm glad you're here. And I'm sorry.
::She lets go of Kenny and looks back at August::
Lillith: Where they are? No idea. But we're not going to find them hiding in here.
::There's a roll of thunder and storm clouds can be seen gathering over head::
Lillith: Lets go.

:When Lillith saw him and threw her arms around Kenny he slowly hugged back as well as stroking her hair gently as he gave a smile.:
"It's ok Lillith, I'm here now."
:He then allowed Lillith to let go of him as he listened to what to do next and looked around wondering where is it to go:
"Any idea on where we are going?"

Then let us go to my place in Vector.
::Interupts August, looking rather smug.::
We can possible contact the Inquisition, tell them of our little... deseartion and prepare anything we may need for the events ahead. We should be safe there as well, for a time. How does that sound, unless either of you have a better idea?

Then let us leave.
::August bends down and quickly, with his index finger, draws out a pentagram like symbol in the dirt. Then, standing back up, he draws his dagger, makes three cuts into the air and another doorway forms.::
This should prevent her from tracing our path, now come, just step over the threshold.
::He grabs his black bag and steps through the doorway.::
((Setting it up in Vector now))

::Once the portal closes, some girlish giggling emits from the tops of the moonlit trees. Iole watches the scene from a nice solid branch and starts talking to herself::
It's about time Lillith and Kenny. Man you two were obvious.
::She thinks back to the moment when Lillith slapped August across the face::
About time that guy got his too. He's almost as cocky as that Shaft guy. If I had ever acted like that with Auntie... come to think of it, I don't think Auntie's ever had to punish me.
::Mentioning Natalia brings back sudden memories of a happier time. She stares up at the moon with sad blue eyes::
I hate this. Things were so much easier to understand when it was just kill the bad guys and move on with our happy lives. Auntie, how much longer do I have to be brave?
(OOC: Anyone reading this might notice from her attitude that Iole is steadily slipping into being a teenager. Oh the scandal!)
