Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith paces back and forth like a trapped cat, which is completely at odds to the almost jovial tone he has on the phone. "Well I /am/ your older brother, of course I am going to try and scare the boys away from you. Of course you aren't a little kid anymore Inari, that's what I worry about. Look I have a friend who is a PI let me just... no Inari... No... Don't hang--" he sighs and says "up." be fore looking at his phone screen and banging his head lightly agienst a door frame.

Faith Lehane has posed:
Faith Lehane yawns and stretches, stepping out of the bedroom. She's been sleeping restlessly again, clearly something is troubling her. "Damn, I need a beer.." she grumbles, searching the fridge for something to eat and drink before settling at the table,frowning as she overhears Thomas' conversation and frowns. "Trouble at home..?"

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith takes a deep breath and shakes his head slowly. "My sister, Inari. She's got a new boyfriend." He says it in the same tone you might expect him to say "She has Cancer." He walks to the fridge and grabs two beers, lightly tossing one to Faith and oopening the other for himself. Downing it in a long pull.

Faith Lehane has posed:
Faith Lehane arches a brow. She's heard mention if his sister maybe once before but not in detail. "Oh yeah?" she smirks, "And why aren't you happy for her? Aint that a good thing?" she blinks at a sudden thought and frowns as she pops open a beer can. "Oh wait, is she a white court vampire like you? You're worried she'll suck her new boy toy dry?"

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith two-points the empty beer bottle and eyes the fridge debating another. Instead he starts making the sweet tea he places in the Crystal decanters at the two bars in the club. "Worse. She's a White Court Virgin, which means she literally has no idea what is going to happen the first time she... the first time she.." He closes his eyes and sighs. "The first time. It's always lethal the first time. My father at least had the curtesy of taking me to a strip club so my first time was with some woman who I cared nothing about." Not that Kandy Kane hasn't been a permanent fixture in Thomas' nightmares to this day, a fact Faith knows well. "He's not usually so considerate for my sisters."

Faith Lehane has posed:
Faith Lehane arches a brow, shrugging, "What you mean the first time she has sex?" she says bluntly and chuckles, "Wow, I mean, I guess that's harsh..But she's gonna fall in love sooner or later right? Unless..You can set her up with some guy who, Yknow, is like me or Trini..He can take that kinda energy drain.." hey it's a thought. "Orrr, you can spend your life trying to break up every relationship she's in.lGee that's harsh.."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith gives his lover a sour look, that clearly states that that last option /had/ bee what he was leaning towards and he didn't need her pointing out just how absurd it sounded by saying it out loud. "It's just... Inari is sweet and caring. Like think Willow only without all the witchcraft and other things that can make Willow scary as fuck." he stirs in two cups of sugar into the tea, pours it into two half gallon containers and fills both with water. "If it was with someone she truly loved and loved her back. Yeah, great she gets to live life as a mortal. Byt the Princess Bride wasn't joking when they say love like that only comes along once in a lifetime." He then pauses and laughs, "Though your other idea has merit. You know any male slayers?"

Faith Lehane has posed:
Faith Lehane hmms, "Soo only true love can break the spell, huh. I mean, how do you know if it's true love anyway? That's pretty damn rare, isn't it?" she glances at him thoughtfully for a moment as a thought crosses her mind..But its quickly gone even if it causes her to smile. Instead she shrugs, brushing the thought away, walking around to peer over his shoulder, curious to see what exactly he's doing with all that sugar.

"Yeahhh sorry, Slayers are only female..But maybe you can find her a nice power Ranger or..I dunno, there are a lot of powerful people out there, maybe a wizard? I'll keep my senses peeled for a good match. But you gotta give me more details about her, maybe put something out on Paranet.."

His description does cause her to chuckle, "Wow really? Sounds...Cute, is she the type to sleep around a lot you think?"

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith gives her a look that says "You just said something incredibly silly," and deadpans "There is a specific word in the phrase White Court /Virgin/, that might be a clue to the answer to that question." he shakes his head and adds a pinch of baking soda to each contaioner of tea, making user to add just enough water that at a glance the liquid could be mistaken for some form of Whiskey. "Don't get me wrong she is comfortable around the idea of sex. She practically grew up on the sets of Silverlight productions. But lets just say her knowledge is all theory and nothing practical. At her Power Ranger suggection he nods, "I could call Trini and ask, but I feel like I'd be sending a lamb to the slaughter... And there is the minor detail that she can't know she is a White Courtier till... well till it's too late.

Faith Lehane has posed:
Faith Lehane rolls her eyes. "Duh! I didn't say DOES she sleep around, I said is she the type you think WOULD sleep around, like.l." she groans, running her hands through her hair, "Forget it, I guess you don't get girls, not all of them are like me. Some of them save themselves for someone special..Or so I hear. I mean, I don't get it myself but.."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith sighs and shakes his head. "She's... a Princess. I don't mean that in a bad way, but I honestly believe right now she imagines she'll meet a nice boy like this Cassidy guy, marry, have two point five kids.." He shakes his head. "Of course once her hunger awakens? It's completely in the air."

Faith Lehane has posed:
Faith Lehane groans, shaking her head, "Wow she really is naieve, sounds even worse than Willow...Well maybe you'll just have to..Mess up her relationships til we can find her a suitable match in the Paranet..How about one of those werewolf friends of yours? Heck maybe you can even steer her towards a supernatural dating site or something.." she laughs, "I wonder if I'll ever get to meet this cute sister of yours..Or the rest of your family. I mean there's Harry but.."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith shakes his head slightly, amused. "You would eat poor Inari alive, and Lara, Elisa, and Natalia..." He shrugs a little bit, "Well they might expect me to share. And besides you did meet Madrigal at that Splattercon!!! thing..."

Faith Lehane has posed:
Faith Lehane smirks, "Mmm, well I'm not opposed to.lSharing..Maybe. Depending." she wriggles her eyes brows playfully, stepping in close enough to slide her fingers along his arm. "But of course they're family so.." she scoffs at mention of his cousin, "Ugh, that guy was nothing like you. What a leech..I sure hope the rest of your family ain't like that piece of shit.."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith places the tea in the fridge and shakes his head. "No...Well Madalynn, his sister is pretty bad, but they are the worst two... at least in that way. Lara on the other hand, she's more like me only turned up to eleven. I've seen her seduce a Priest. Literally." he shakes his head, then glances at his watch. "It's almost 6am. Coming to bed?"

Faith Lehane has posed:
Faith Lehane laughs, "I've had trouble sleeping and having more nightmares..Could use something to knock me out." she winks playfully at him, grinning wickedly as she tugs on his sleeve, "But I'm game.."
