He sighed quietly, a low hissing whisper that lent an eerie echo to the depths of his armour.
He watched her fall asleep, eyes never leaving her.
He noticed, by the way that she didn't automatically twitch whenever touching the metal plate, that things-literally speaking-were becoming warmer between them.
~~~
Barry started up at the frightened shriek coming from the other room.
Half expecting various ills to suddenly burst into the room, bringing chaos, death and disorder with them, he was relieved to hear by the low mutterings of Zolf that it was merely a trifle.
He pushed himself up on one elbow, gazing fondly at Riza.
"Gooood Morrning sunshine." He said with a raspy chuckle.
"Hope I didn't disturb your comfort last night." He said, quickly scanning her for any tell-tale bruises that he might have embraced her a bit too roughly.

Roze heard the man trying to comfort her as she was still breathing heavily. She calmed down once more, this time with breathing as well, and hugged the man back. "Kimblee... the dream I had was so real... as if it were happening all over again... Only this time, it was in Lior, not Ishbal..." she said into his chest. She hoped he'd understand what she was talking about; she really didn't want to go into much detail about the exacts that she had seen. She hoped he'd understand that, too... And Maybe he would, sinec he was there the first time... at the Ishbal Massacre.

Kimblee
So it was shell shock. Yeah, he could relate to that. He thought he'd be lucky enough to escape bad dreams that came from war, but he hadn't. Just because his conscience was deadened by all the pain and death during the Ishbal campaign didn't mean he was unaffected. The worst of the dreams haunted him in his prison cell, and although they were less frequent, he still had them occasionally.
"I know Roze...I still have bad dreams to this day." he said, kissing her forehead. Crimmy paced on the couch, mewling nervously and rubbing against her arm to reassure or be reassured or both.
Once again he felt the pang of guilt in his gut. Was the nightmare from the civil unrest, or was it from the fact that he and Envy had ultimately leveled the place to the ground?
Riza
It took a great deal of self discipline to crawl out of bed. She was still tired from the frequent wakings in the night and the usual exhaustion that came along with frequent moving around that she did.
She brushed her teeth in the bathroom and combed her hair. She sincerely hoped they could get on the move toward their goal of getting Barry's body back soon. All this idleness made her restless and when she got restless she didn't sleep well. She needed busy days to tire her out in the evenings.
"I'm going to make some coffee Barry. I wont feel human till I have at least two cups." she said as she walked to the small kitchen.
[OoC: I hope the two of you don't mind too awful much if I take Sarai out of the picture in Real World. I just can't keep up with all three characters. Maybe Real World Barry can eventually hook up with Riza (since the new Havoc shows no signs of posting there). And maybe Riza and Barry can adopt Claus, or Roze and Kimblee)]

((WHAT. No more Sarai? Argh bugger. I don't know what to do with Barry then.))
Barry didn't remark as she merely slipped out of bed and headed towards the kitchen, muttering about coffee.
He wasn't-correction-hadn't been much of a morning person either.
He got up too, following her.

(And Clause is a bit more alone, too.)
Roze-
"I-i'm... sorry, Kimblee." she said, after he kissed her forehead. "It's just... everything has happened fast... Me losing Kain... the unrest at Lior, and... what happened after I met you at Lior...." She felt Crimminy, and pet him. "Thank you... both of you..." She hugged Kimblee tighter, as if trying to use him as a shield...

Riza
She fumbled around the kitchen, still half asleep. She dropped the coffee can and muttered a curse as she picked it up off the floor. She paid no heed to Kimblee and Roze, opting instead for discretion.
Soon the coffee pot was hissing and gurgling. A gurgle came from her stomach as well so she fished a piece of cold pizza from the fridge to munch on.
Kimblee
His arms went around her, stroking her back and rocking her softly. He loved her so much it almost hurt. He kissed her soft burgundy hair and rest his head on her shoulder with a soft sigh. "You hungry sugar?" he asked, "Food on the stomach always puts things in perspective."
[::sigh:: okay, since you guys seem to really want me to keep her in the picture, I'll keep posting her. I'll just have to find a way to make my posts a bit briefer. I'll do a RW post later, it's 6:45 A.M., I've been up for a few hours and my sleep is for shit lately, so I'm getting a bit spaced out. XD]

(OoC: Yay! Thanks, Kimblee!)
IC:
Roze felt herself being stroked and rocked by this man, and it made herself feel warmer, and she felt safe in this man's arms. It was probably weird, being he murdered the rest of Lior besides her, but she couldn't help it. Maybe it was helped by the fact that it indeed was a sort of tabboo-style love. She placed her arms around him in a hug as well, and whispered to him. "Please... just a little while longer..." However, after a few more moments, if he continued to rock her, she'd push him away gently, and she smiled to the man. "Now... let's eat..." she said, holding his hand gently still.

Riza poured herself a cup of black coffee and splashed a bit of cream in it. She glanced up at Kimblee as he and Roze entered the kitchen. "Coffee's ready." she said, noting the obvious. It was the best she could muster this early.
"Do you have any 3-in-one oil around here?" she asked with a yawn. She thought Barry could probably use a nice armor polishing and oiling.
Kimblee
"Yeah, sure." he said as he poured himself a cup of black coffee. He fetched the oil, some oil rags and also some polish used for knives. "This ought to make him all shiny and purdy." he said with a chuckle, handing her the items.
He gathered the items needed for making a simple breakfast of oatmeal with apple and cinnamon. "Roze..wanna mince up some apple for me?" he asked, handing her a couple apples and a paring knife. He fetched cinnamon and sugar from the cupboard and got butter and milk from the fridge.
Moments later he was pouring the oats into the boiling milk and stirring as bread browned in the toaster.

Barry put an arm around her shoulder and squeezed it affectionately.
"Time for another rub? You take your time to wake up first, can't have you just falling asleep on the spot."
((Not much inspiration revolving today : ) ))

[Will wait for Roze to post before I reply as Kimblee, then I'm going to advance the plotline past all this domestic bliss. As much as I looove domestic bliss and playing house, it's a death knell for plot progression xDDD]

Roze nodded to the female officer. "Yeah... thanks..." She took some coffee and took a sip of it, without anything added. "Guess you made it quite black, hm?" she asked, taking half a creamer and adding it to the coffee. When Kimblee made his request, she nodded and went to work. "What now...?" she asked as the bread cooked.
{Let's go on. XD}

((OOC: I decided to take you up on your invitation for Siran,i guess Wrath will have to wait for one of the others to reply))
Siran had arrived with Barry and the others,but she had went to her cottage to get a few things. She mainly went for new clothes and holsters for her knives. She left her cottage locking it behind her. She wore black skin tight jeans and a black corset top with a red skull. She finished it off with a black almost ground length coat,that clung to her body,she had a knife holster tied to her leg. Her hair was clean and straightened as she headed to Kimblee's place.
She heard the mini group talking as she knocked on the door and then entered,she then said,"you should really get that lock checked."
Her hair straight hung down past her knees,"I decided I should go more simpler in ,my outfit this time,bought this years ago. I am glad it still fits."

"You're joking, right?" he said to Siran, gazing at her long hair and impractical outfit. "Don't hollar to have me save your ass if your hair gets caught in something."
He shook his head in disbelief. "How are you gonna keep your self from falling out of that top if you have to fight someone?" he strode off to his room and fished around till he found an extra shirt. He came back in and tossed her a plain black t-shirt. "There... now that makes more sense."
Riza
She sighed and folded her arms over her chest. "Sir... you sure have a delicate way of putting things."
"So..." she asked, looking to Barry, "Where was the last place you saw your body?"

She looked at Kimblee,as she said, "i was figuring you would need a distraction,and I can manage my hair.'
She caught the shirt he threw at her,as she slipped it on," If it will make you stop gripping,but just remember my previous costume I could fight in that even though it looked impossible."
"can we go ahead and get this over with." she said.

Roze watched as the lady who had given her the knife entered, and she smiled. "Hello, Siran..." she said, as a way of greeting. She heard Kimblee gripe about what she was wearing, and she had to chuckle. "Before Liore, you probably wouldn't have minded..." she said, her tone obviously teasing the man. "And I still got what you gave me, Siran..." she said, this time her tone dropping to an uneasy speak.

Barry looked up as Siran came in.
"Excuse me?" He asked in disbelief. "More simpler? You're not being serious right?"
He cackled with mirth as Kimblee also directed his attention towards her choice of outfit.
"Distraction you say?"
He leaned back in his chair with a chuckle. "Girl, this is Research Laboratory FIVE we're going to. No-one in that darn place would think twice about killing a skimpy looking girl like you. Including me. And I'm a nice guy compared to some of the types that reside in that stink-bucket."
He glanced at Riza as she spoke, eyes narrowing slightly in discomfort.
"...Right after they bound me to this tin can. It was a mass transmutation, so they just simply didn't have time to remove the bodies. I got a good look at it before they dragged me away, and as far as I could see it seemed to be alive. It just wasn't reacting to anything. It was terrible though, all I could think about was getting it back, but I was too weak to struggle."
He frowned slightly, thinking.
"I know it sounds weird, but I'm pretty sure that I could tell when it was still there," He glanced at Kimblee.
"I told you and Envy about that, you remember. We all could. It seemed that even though we had been forcibly cut from our bodies, we still shared some kind of link with them. One of us actually died, and we later found out that his body had been destroyed."
He sighed, rubbing the sides of his skull with the tips of his fingers as though trying to rid himself of a headache.
"They moved my body out of reach a month or so after the transmutation. I don't know whether they removed it from the lab, or just took it to some remote corner of it. Though after the lab had been officially shut down, and we had been appointed guards, I can say that I have never sensed it since."

Riza
She was half tempted to fire her gun into the roof! "People!" she shouted, "We wont survive five minutes in Lab Five if we can't get past petty bickering over what we choose to wear! Kimblee? Can it! Barry?...." she closed her eyes and sighed. "You should be ashamed of yourself."
In all of this, Crimmy sat on the back of the couch and licked his paw as if nothing was going on at all.
Kimblee
"Yes ma'am!" he said, giving Hawkeye a stern, mock salute. "Alright... so here's the deal: we get into Lab Five.. Barry... you were a guard there so I'm sure you know all the ins and outs of quicker ways around. We'll depend on you for direction. Riza? You cover our backs from the rear. Roze? You be prepared to hop inside Barry's armor if things get hinky. Siran? You keep your ears and eyes peeled for anything suspicious. I'll probably send you into unknown areas since you have more steath than the rest of us... presumably." he added with a raised brow. "Any questions?"
