"Oh. Yeah," Elias responded, quickly baking away from Kitty with a similarly red face. He occupied himself by picking up both of their swords, though he managed a bit of a smile as Kitty complimented his sword. Guilt continued to flow through him even as Kitty laughed playfully and flicked him in the forehead. The strike stung like hell, but he managed not to flinch.

"Let's call it a day for this sword stuff," Elias replied. He walked back into Kitty's cozy little cabin and placed both swords on a rack next to the door after sheathing them. After quickly looking at his and Kitty's blood stained clothes Elias said, "We should probably get cleaned up first before doing anything else." He started off towards the bathroom.

"Yeah we probably should. I think you've got dirt and possibly blood in your hair." Kitty glanced down at her clothes, then smirked as an idea popped into her head. "Comfortable with me joining you in the shower?" She spoke flirtatiously and even batted her eyelashes at him, but within a few seconds she was snickering. "Kidding." A smirk crossed her face again. "Maybe." Kitty brushed past him as he went towards the bathroom, aiming to go into her room and pick out some new clothes to wear.

Elias stopped and his face turned beet red after Kitty's idea. Memories of their earlier date came flooding through all over again, each moment clearly playing through his mind.

"Uh," He stammered, "I'd rather not." Elias quickly turned away and walked in the bathroom, making sure to lock the door behind him. The shower heated up instantly as he got in to clean himself off.

Kitty practically cackled as she saw how red his face got, her laughter turning into howling as she heard the door lock as well. Elias was just so easy to tease, but it was adorable. Elias was a change of pace from the guys she usually went with. Kitty sighed as she looked up at the ceiling, she kept feeling like she should feel guilty for starting a relationship with Elias, but the guilt never came. She was tired, tired of pining for someone who would never choose her over power. But she just couldn't do it anymore, she couldn't give her all when the other person barely knew there was something to be playing for. It was time to start fresh, and Kitty hoped that Elias could help her with that.

Working with the remains of his Father was rarely a pleasant experience even for the great Celestial Architect. Twisting his energy and matter into a new cosmic construction felt morally wrong, but the others had deemed it necessary for what was to come. Zalgo plotted in his realm of madness, and Legion had already come into play again by speaking to Kitty.

Kitty.


Sam'anar turned his head to the distance, peering through the cosmos towards her. In the blink of an eye he witnessed the events over all the time her and Elias had spent together, and saw it's conclusion. Once it was over he made little movement, simply staring across all the stars as his last reason to care for the mortal plane vanished.

"There has been a change of plans," He spoke to the beings around him, lesser creations of the Celestials who served to help his construction. "Summon the council."
