Welcome to Gaia! ::

Titus heard Riyo questioning what he said but shrugged it off as not important. "Doesn't matter." Because right now he wanted to focus on flying and not crashing.

The trip back to school was fairly quick, Titus wasn't sure how Riyo had gotten to the park but if her motorcycle was there she would have to get it later. For now he focused on getting her back to her room, not super thrilled about the idea of climbing the stairs but making it all the same. He still had another flight to go to get to his own room.

"Well, this was a fun filled evening." He stopped by the feline's door looking down at her. "Can I place you down or do I need to carry you in?"

"Carry you in it is." He managed to wrangle the keys from Riyo and unlock the door. After everything his shoulder was begging for him to put down the extra weight but he didn't want to just drop her in the hallway.

"I'll stay if you want me to." Was all that Titus said as he pushed the door open and walked inside. He used his good shoulder to close the door again before he moved through the army of cats to get to Riyo's couch. There he placed her down though the action wasn't completely gentle as his shoulder basically gave out in the end.

He sighed as he stood, rubbing at his aching deltoid. The pain in his ribs had finally faded only for it to be replaced by something else. He just couldn't win. "I swear I don't think I am going to get Gina to leave me alone unless I move away and change my name." And even then he was doubtful that would work.

Oh right, bed. Titus hadn't thought of that. Mostly because he didn't have a bed of his own. "I am not picking you back up to put you in bed." He replied, bringing up a hand to try to clean the blood from his face. There was the tenderness of what he assumed was a bruise and he could tell there were a couple more teeth loose that had yet to fall out.

He reached into his mouth, grasping the sharp enamel between his forefinger and thumb and giving in a swift jerk to pull it the rest of the way free. His tongue ran over the bare spot briefly before a new tooth began to move into place. It was like he had no shortage of teeth.

"I might almost feel sorry for whoever that poor b*****d might be." He took the invitation to sit, examining his tooth as he eased his way onto the couch. "So what's the damage on your end?"

Titus chuckled lightly at her chivalry comment knowing he wasn't exactly an upstanding gentleman though he had been kind on occasion lately. He was ruining his own self image. His past self would have been throwing a fit about now.

The demon began to work on the second tooth that was loose, setting the other one on top of his leg. It took a little more work than the last but he finally managed to pull it free tasting a bit of copper in his mouth before his new tooth began to move into place. He frowned looking the tooth over before collecting the other one and putting them in his pocket. It wasn't something he liked lying around.

"Yeah I kinda noticed you didn't have a shirt." And he was trying not to stare. It was possible there was a little more red in his face that had nothing to do with blunt force trauma.

"Yeah, not the brightest crowd." He grumbled running his hand through his hair. "If I'm going to have the s**t beat out of me the least Gina could do is find someone with a higher IQ than a twinkie."

"It means I didn't want to stare is that an issue?" He grumbled looking around her room for a blanket. The more likely place would probably be the bed right?

With a pained expression he rose to his feet just barely catching Riyo's mumbled words. "Yeah, yeah I know." Yes, he had seen them and he got that but somehow that didn't make him feel any less embarrassed. At least he wasn't bleeding from the nose, that had to count as progress.

After a bit of searching Titus finally returned with a blanket from Riyo's bed. It hadn't come easily considering he had more than a few felines to shoo off it. Really was there a need for so many cats? "Here." He couldn't help but glance at her state now, seeing the bruises and cuts Riyo had managed to sustain. Between the goons and Gina they had really worked her over.

"You sure your willing to deal with this again if it happens?" Not that Titus wouldn't be a little more paranoid when leaving his room to avoid it happening again but there was always a chance something could go wrong.

"Hey, I'm just checking. This wasn't exactly a delightful evening." He saw the offer to join Riyo under the covers but instead decided to ease his way down on the couch to have a seat by her head. Once he was seat placed a hand on her hair and patted it lightly as he relaxed back. "Like I said the choice is yours. I'm not going to make your decisions for you."

Abandonment issues he could certainly see with how she acted around her father. Not that he could blame her that was some messed up s**t. Titus knew he wasn't likely to leave without a reason but that didn't mean he wouldn't disappoint her in some other way in the future. Oh well.

"Just rest for now. I'll stick around long enough to make sure you fall asleep okay."

"If you sleep too long I might be gone. I have probation work tomorrow but I will stay in the meantime." Titus assured. It wasn't like he had anything better to do. His Uncle still hadn't given back his gaming system.

"Dormez bien." The demon mumbled in French, sitting back on Riyo's couch to relax for the next few hours while she slept. Maybe by the time the next day rolled around he would have recovered enough to not regret moving.
