Xiomara didn't say anything to his mention of politics, instead she just continued to look around the place, admiring all of the new weapons and wishing she could get her hands on some of these. When he guessed that she'd run away from the massive political plays taking place, a small smile was hidden beneath her hair. "I did put someone else in charge, but it will be a matter of time before they come looking for me if they're not already on their way. He won't be happy that I made him a temp replacement. He hates politics about as much as I do."
She chuckled picturing the look on the bear's face when he returned and found a letter basically saying "Congrats! You've been promoted from Guard to King! See you in a few months!" She tried not to laugh and instead cleared her throat, done with amusing herself with the man's obvious pain. "It helped I had your abyssal shard... How come I couldn't contact you? What happened, that you fell?"

He lingered where he stood for a moment as she spoke. the first answer she got was a frown, and him turning back to the pistolia. When he turned back around and began striding toward her, two black tentacles reached out from behind the rack, grabbed up a pair of .50 cal magnums and delivered them into his own hands, where they were attached to his sides much like the swords, before retreating back into nothingness. His face was twisted in thought when he reached her. "You put him in charge... But you know that he will come all the way here. For you, I assume... correct me if I'm wrong, but in my vast experience, queens tend to have their orders obeyed when given." His left hand came up to catch a bit of stray hair in the claw, and, with an extra splash of ginger, replace it behind her ear. "you must be more loved than feared. Lets hope he put someone in charge, eh?" insert reassuring smile.
"And I thought you were afraid to embrace the darkness. Being a child of starlight and all that... or was that just my imagination? ya' know that runs away from me sometimes." another dot appeared on the space beside the pistol wrack, identical in all dimensions to the first. His hand finally remembered how to fall to his side, whether or not she had remained in place, and he began to study the rest of the room, scanning the armor in particular. "I. Was on Olympus. Zeus blocked the signal I guess. Hes jealous like that."

She hadn't really expected him to answer any of the questions she asked, it usually took a bit more pushing and then if he didn't want to talk about it; he just didn't. She'd learned to keep her questions to herself after the second evasion; he'd always been the kind to tell her when he was ready, although it was quite frustrating. Blue eyes focused on the weapon in his hand, and though the urge to move and dodge the shadows around her was there, Xio held still. It was something she would need to get used to again. Blinking she looked up from the weapon to his face, head tilted slightly in question when he approached. People were often afraid or avoided Cerverous because of his callous mouth, staring at the parts of him that were obviously different. She'd been apprehensive at first too, but that all changed, as he tucked her hair behind her ear, she smiled; looking up at him now. It was a warm feeling. "Usually my orders are obeyed, but since I had tried to run away once or twice from my duties before; they assigned him to me. Yes, to come and take me back. He'll have assigned someone else, I'm sure." Grinning at his reassuring smile she shook her head a little.
His comment about her being afraid to embrace the darkness made her frown a little, wondering if he had forgotten how the star had basically been destroyed when they had been up in the cosmos. Or was it the clutches of the abyssal? Her memories of certain times in their journey were foggy and jumbled until they made no sense. As he turned to look at the armor she did as well, frown deepening and a hand reached out to place it upon his arm; the one that held the pistolia. "I stuck by you, didn't I, old man?" The hand on his arm moved down to his wrist, as if to still his hand even though it already was at a standstill, and the other swept her hair over her shoulder; a splash of snow blending into this eternally white room. "You're going back up aren't you? I'm coming with you Cerverous."

A frown held his face, more of concentration than anything. It was a smile though, when he looked at her again. "not a fucking chance of it. I'm done with that place, for good, hopefully." She was looking over all the equipment, being polite, as usual, and not touching any of it. "ya know. Ur not really gonna be able to come here whenevs. If you'd like to take a whole fucking arsenal, your more than welcome." he waved a finger at her once and narrowed his eyes. "actually, i insist that it be done. Go browse, pick some stuff that you like out, and i'll tell you if its even worth useing, ok?"
A quick step around her, a amsll ruff of her hair, and he was walking back toward the katana wrack with a half smile. "I'll be over here when your ready. Take as long as you want, but Do hurry up about it"

Xiomara turned to look at Cerverous, her smile widening at the fact that she could take what she wanted from here. The tips of her fingers tingled with excitement and she chewed on her lower lip after turning back to the display casings and the weapons beautifully crafted upon them. Though looking at some of the daggers brought back images and memories of the Obeahman, Xiomara still itched to have something useful with her. "I don't know what I'm looking for.... help me pick something out? It can be your gift to the queen of cats."
She joked, padding over to him and tugging on his arm very gently before her fingers found their way up the length of his arm and pushed the hair out of his face. Head tilting as she studied what had happened beneath the cover of his bangs. "You're going to have to let me cut these later."

He let out an exaggerated sigh of completely fake frustration, hung his head backwards, and rolled it towards her. His bangs fell into her hands gentle as a kiss. "ahhh, no. theyll stay just as they are." his scared eyes studied her studying them with less than few blinks. he smiled and weaved his fingers into hers. When he pushed her hand away, he spun it over her head. a twitch of is fingers brought a black hand to Xio's waist that spun her round just as he looped her arm, gave a flourish and shed find herself facing away from him, the captured limb tucked loosely behind her back. "But sense you insist, lets see if we cant find you something nasty. you looking for range or are you more of an up close and persnoal type?"

Ever since she’d run back into Cerverous she couldn’t help the constant grinning or smiles he put on her face, though she was trying to keep herself in check and not get any hopes up. His bangs tickled her palms and she chuckled, raising both brows when he decided that no, she was not going to cut his bangs. A subtle shrug and the continuing study of his eyes, he had been so damaged and she’d been unable to do anything. Did it make her a bad person that she was glad he was back near her instead of stuck in the heavens with the gods? Possibly. "Still stubborn as ever aren't you Cerverous?"
His fingers woven into her own made her head tilt and she frowned when he pushed her hand away, then laughed as she was spun around. His hand at her waist sent a trill of emotion through her but she squashed it down before she started having stupid ideas. Now that she as facing away from him she grinned and tilted her head as if she were studying a row of weapons very carefully. “Both, do you have something that is a weapon within a weapon? Like a bow with a concealed knife you can pull free?”
