Kat nodded, resisting the urge to start chewing on her nails again. She didn't need another bad habit to add to her laundry list of them, "I'll get everybody else to memorize the prayer, in case we have to use them again." Sigh. And here she had thought she could save them for Mephisto. Kat didn't even want to think about what would happen if Rose ran off to the Fat'li Ryuin again, the last thing they needed was her bringing them down on their heads as well.

Overnight, Rose had curled up on the ground. But she wasnt alone now. Two others sat inside the runes with her. Of course Lalasa wouldnt be far away. But the second was surprising. Lukas sat criss cross applesauce with Rose's head in his lap as he pet her hair. He watched her with a sad smile.

AFR was still messing with stuff in the big house... by now an entire wing's big stuff has been altered around and things were looking very, very, different already. He was working a good sweat. If anything the busy work was keeping his mind occupied from how much Rose hurt him... and that was all good.

Halfway through, Eris poked her head out of her room, before tailing after AFR silently. She watched him curiously, from the doorway of each room, her hands folded neatly behind her. She didn't offer to help just yet, but she didn't ask any questions either.

Lalasa looked up from where Rose and Lukas were to the house. She scowled. "Mister Lukas, please excuse me for a moment." She walked through the runes and up to the house and through the doors. "What the hell are you doing?"

AFR whipped his forehead... "Lalasa, Darling... I am working on making this place safe for my clan mates... if you wish to engage in conversation about it.. please talk to Kat... As of now rose's condition is unstable at best... and I will not have her use this place against us. So I am making it our place."

Lalasa scowled. "The hell you are. She put way too much work into this house. I put too much work into this house."

AFR slammed the chair he was carrying down... "She is going to come here knowing about one thousand different ways to kill, maim, and torture every one who is in this house the way it is... if I could stop that I will stand to hurt her feelings and yours..." He picked the chair backed up and moved it to where the love seat used to be.

"She is stuck inside runes right now. And I'll be damned if you change this house. She can't get inside."

AFR turned back to her...
"She is 400 years old... she has fooled all of us... me the most... those runes won't be able to hold her forever... if you be damned if I change this house... welcome to my world... I already am damned. I am thinking of my clan now, sorry. She has been put behind me... quite literally at the moment. I still feel the bite of her betrayal... I won't be fooled again... no sir." The lifeless gaze left her and returned to his work.

"You honestly think she can get out of those runes? Not even Mephisto could and you've locked a girl with only a hundreth of his power in there. They hurt her more than keep her sane." Lalasa adjusted her blouse. "And honestly, the pity will not work with me. I did my part. I healed the wound that would have killed you. At this point, I regret doing so."

AFR brushed off his shoulder... "I am not looking for pity... I am not looking for anything from you... but the others all want your help... go help them then as I finish my work. If Rose proves herself then maybe I will consider letting her put things back... as of right now she could stay in that circle until her life ends." He moved onto the next room.

Eris was feeling very awkward at this point. >.> She edged backwards, halfway hidden behind Lalasa in the doorway. x.x Just from eavesdropping, she was kind of getting the hang of what was going on, and she didn't like it very much at all.
ALSO LIANNE WAS STILL MISSING ;-;

Lalasa rolled up her sleeves. "I will not help them if they are helping you. I cannot believe the disrespect I have seen come from you. You have done nothing close to proving me wrong about you. When she does recover, I hope she has seen the errors in her way and takes off that ring." Which Rose still had on. Lalasa stepped around AFR and walked out of the house.
Lukas looked up from his sitting place with a curious look, still petting Rose who was still asleep. Or, really, so sedated and drained that she couldnt do much else. Talking proved to be quite the chore for her. "What are they doing?" He asked softly.
"Rearranging her house. The exfiance is, really."
Lukas shook his head and looked back down at Rose. "We can't get her out of here can we? Not without her necklace or collar."
Lalasa blinked a few times. Her eyes lit up. "Collar?" She turned on her heel and dashed back into the house, past AFR and up the stairs to Rose's room.

"Disrespect???... are you kidding me?..." AFR shook his head... as she mentioned the ring "what are you even talking about, Lalasa...? she made her choice very clear don't you think?... when she stabbed me in the back and told me she didn't want me... she left me to die and only looked back to smile at my pain. I don't know what to believe... but in her eyes... it was real... and it was her." AFR groaned... he had to fight... he had to fight the urge to put everything back now... he cracked his knuckles... and punched the ground... god damn it... he was going to put them back... he walked up to Eris...
"I need some help... can you help me change things back to what they were..." He sounded defeated... "Just like 15 minutes of your time"

Lalasa had reached the top of the stairs before she said anything back to AFR. "Oh no Mister Severs. Leave it be. I want her to see what a jackass you are" She smiled sweetly and walked down the stairs, collar in hand. Two arm bands in the other. She breezed right past AFR and to the door.

AFR huffed... "you will never understand..." No one would probably understand...

Eris stayed silent at the edge of the doorway for a few moments longer, before nodding silently. She could help. She wasn't good at...doing things herself, but if somebody gave her instructions, she could follow them to a T. "I will help..."

"No. And I do not care to." She slipped out the door and held the collar and arm bands up for Lukas to see. "Got them."
Lukas nodded and shifted Rose a little. "Time to get up. We're getting you out."
Rose groaned quietly. "No they'll hate me even more" mumble mumble.
Lukas sighed. "Come on Rosette. You'll die in here." He sat her up a little so Lalasa could put the collar on her.

AFR and Eris started to move stuff back to their original spots... which was actually really easy, because 400 years of something in the same position left major rug spots and such... "these are just some of the things that happen when you let someone in... I don't blame her for spending all those years alone..." Still mumbling and such... nothing he could do was right... and anything he did just had acres of guilt ridden on it... "wait... where is Lalasa going?"
