The awkward moment gave way to a new moment. Ace smiled again with her heartbeat slowly returning to normal. She could all other voices again and wind had picked up to brush the stands of hair out of her face.
With this new infomation, Ace put her hands on hips in almost childish way. "When were you going to tell me where you really came from, huh?" This was a very convient change of subject. Yes, indeed it was.

It's so easy to destroy and condemn.
Do you ever wonder if it's justified?

"Um..."

Teague didn't bother to cover his accent, now that he had revealed himself. "Er, I wasn't." he said flatly. "But south of London, on a world called 'Earth'. Came through the same portal as the girl I told you about. Only, I loved this new place, and all she wanted was to go home." His eyes looked dull, his face expressionless. His hair, before of bronze, was now a flat brown. The mystique was gone, and all that's left a defeated teen from a country no one'd ever heard of on a world in a different universe.

This was quite the predicament. Ace was never really good at cheering people up, as was the case with her old friend only weeks ago. Made rivals more than patch up a best friendship. "It's not easy to give up a home knowing that you may never go back. She probably jumped at the chance to go home without thinking."
Ace was trying to think of something much better than that but it was hard. Slowly she withdrew her hand from his face slightly, to touch his cheek with a tender touch. "Try not to think of it as the most terrible thing in the world. After all, if she wanted to go home that badly then she must be happy there."

With a newly free hand, she pointed up in the sky. "Somewhere out there is Filgaia, my home. It might be dead right now- a pure wasteland. I may never see it again, not like I remember it. Of course I'd want to go back if I could but, there is no point in it. Not anymore."

It's so easy to destroy and condemn.

Teague looked at her, a frozen smile looking out of place beneath bitter eyes. "Wanted to go home? I could have taken her there myself at any point." He twirled a finger in the air, creating a bright sort of whirlpool. After a moment, it took the shape of a window, framing a tall stone tower outlined in mist. He waved a hand, and the image vanished. "No, she left because she couldn't stand me. It seems not many people can."

He looked at her, and with a deep breath, cleared his face of emotion.

"But why couldn't she be happy with me?"

Something snapped in Ace. Whether the action was intentional or not, Ace flicked Teague on the nose. "Maybe she didn't love you in the long run, but thought of you as family. She missed her own family and what would you be? A mean and selfish person for not letting her go. That girl would've died of a broken heart, it's happened."

Sighing and resposturing herself, Ace continued. "Besides all that, if she was still with you, you wouldn't have met me, now would you? Is that such a bad thing? And I certianly am not disgusted by you, Teague. 'Nor was she."

It's so easy to destroy and condemn.

"What was that all about?" The girl's sudden hot streak had startled him out of his mood. "I'm sorry, that wasn't ment to be any sort of a slam on you." He smiled curiously before he continued. "And who do you know who's died of a broken heart?"

"It was about getting you out of the little mood of yours," Ace said proudly, but with a friendly smile.

Ace sighed heavily when he asked the question about the broken heart. It reminded her of those people. "My mother." She said it flatly, almost as if she was holding something in- tears or rage- one could not tell.

Teague looked at her, curiosity sparking in his green eyes. He clasped her hand and pulled her down to sit beside him. "Well, thanks for that."

"What happened to your mother?" he asked, as gently as he could manage. "With a girl like you around, how could anyone die of heartbreak?"

Ace slowly closed eyes as she drew the memory of her mother out into the open. "I wasn't there. Not until it was too late." The words played softly and almost non-existantly. "My grandparents- no, my grandmother on my father's side, took me. She would have nothing to do with a human after her son had died. She disliked humans from the start and blamed my mother for everything."

The memory of her parents engraved back into her mind- their smiling faces, their warmth, the happiness they all once had- it was her family. A tear flowed quickly on Ace's cheek, leaving it's remnants to glitter ever so slightly. "I was unable to return for the longest time, unable to rescue my mother from the loneliness and death. I returned to a ghost of my mother, someone who could not move or barely talk. Even though it hurt, I knew she would be happy- she was finally with my father again."

Ace reopened her eyes and gazed upon the sky. The heavens were still a beautiful blue with clouds rolling by ever so slowly. Would they be able to watch her still, even though she stood under a different sky and breathed different air? Surely it wasn't possible but, that's what life is- the impossible.

Instead of responding, Teague looked away, a dark distant expression in his eyes, a storm on the horizon. A soft melody fell from his lips, weaving with the sound of the softly blowing trees.

"I've always fallen fast with too much trust in the promise that
"No one's ever been here, so you can quell those wet fears."
I want purity, I must have it here right now.
But don't you get me started now. "

Soft thunder sounded in the distance, clouds piled against the city skyline. A dam built to burst.

The impending destruction on a fine day, seemed a bit of a waste. That's the way life was though, always reining in your wonderful experience with something drastically different.

Ace turned away from the sky, and found herself momentarily looking at Teague, then at the ground for some odd reason. Why did it seem this awkward now? "Weeping won't save the world 'nor will it bring them back. Just have to walk right into the storm." She squeezed his hand, letting go the next moment and lifted herself from the bench. Instead of going to the clear blue skies, she strolled towards the clouds. There were many worse things than lightning and rain.

"Storm might not be so bad. Wash away the dirt and sand, wash away the ash that death leaves behind." A rain shower might just be the thing he needed to pull him out of his current state. Never being one to speak over-much, Teague decided on another song. Much safer than making a fool of himself trying to put words together as eloquently as he'd like.

"Under this national raincloud, I'm getting soaked to the skin,
Trying to find my umbrella, but I don't know where to begin,
And it's simply irrational weather, I can't even hear myself think,
Constantly bailing out water, but still feel like I'm gonna sink,
Cause I'm under the weather, just like the world,
I'm sorry for being so bold....
When I turn out the light, you're out of sight,
Although I know that I'm not alone,


Feels like home."

Ace stopped and spun around to face him though, she was quite a distance a way still. "C'mon Teague!! I'm gonna leave you there, if you don't hurry!" What was she trying to do? Well it was a mystery even to her but, there are things that need to be left unsaid until the time is right.

Yes, this had been one full day for everyone it would seem.

Teesh smiled, and stood. "Pray tell, dear maid, where are we headed now?" He smiled broadly, tan skin glowing in the yellowing light of the coming storm. What was the girl playing at now? Ah, well, all the world's a stage, and this was sure to be a spectacular show.

The scent of rain smelled fresh and raw on the chill breeze.

OoC| I know it's been a while but, I actually sat myself down to reply to the roleplays here. I'm sorry 'bout makin' you wait.

IC| A song popped up again in her head. Maybe she was cut out to be a wandering minstral, after all? Naah. The idea tossed itself right out the window as who would listen to a half-breed? Despite knowing this information and the conflicts in her head, Ace sung aloud whether people liked it or not.

"There’s some things that I regret
Some words I wish had gone unsaid
Some starts that had some better endings
Been some bad times I’ve been through
Damage I could not undo
Some things I wish I could do all all over again
But it don’t really matter
When life gets that much harder
It makes you that much stronger, oh
Some pages turned, some bridges burned..."

Water began to sprinkle down on the city, officially at any rate. Rain droplets fell on Ace, some landing in her eyes causing her to shut them. It was an enjoyable spring rain. Yes, enjoyable. "But there were lessons learned." Singin' in the rain~

Was this song a positive outlook on life for once? Most likely. After all, before coming here, Ace got her ass promptly handed to her but a girl a year younger than her with a magic gun.
