The wall to the box came down, allowing Mark to fly in and touch down right in front of her. With his eyes stilling flaring with light, he grinned at Shanira, "This is a good position for you. All tied up like this."
He snapped his fingers and the ropes let her go, the walls fell down which left just a small platform for the two to stand on.
"So did I win?"

Shanira noted the powerful light in his eyes, not really able to jump to conclusions but somehow feeling like she was supposed to be reminded that his ability to pull off such a large-scale stunt like this couldn't have been a coincidence. You know, like he might have been some kind of really powerful being she was supposed to know and possibly hate...
And she shrugged it off entirely as she tried to figure out what exactly was supposed to be so 'good' about her being tied up, or why it'd make him grin that stupid grin that it did. She didn't think it was good, she couldn't move!
Shanira whipped her head back, running her hand briefly through her long hair before looking back at Mark with her playful grin again, albeit a little bit of a pouting one for good show. She marched up to him, reaching up to his neck and pulled him in to kiss him softly.
"Yes," she chuckled.

The platform below them vanished as Mark held her close, using his wings to maintain perfect altitude. It was the perfect excuse to keep Shanira close to him.
"A truly wonderful prize, M'lady," Mark smiled as Shanira pulled away from him, "I'd fight through all of Hellious for a kiss from you!"

"Ewwwwwwwwwww..."
A voice rang out from alongside the pair, where behind the protective folds of Mark's wings hovered a white-robe clad figure with a broken rabbit mask covering his face. One eyehole was meshed, covering the eye whilst the other was visibly bandaged over. Despite being cracked and broken, the mask bore the religious symbols of Solaris.
The figure, still levitating cross-legged in mid-air flung his hands behind his head, which was cocked to the side whilst he casually regarded the two.
"Mark! You might get diseases doing that! That's what Balthazar told me about Felios' denizens." He nodded solidly. "Balthazar also told me that dogs can't look up and cats always land butter side up."
Kyoki had finally arrived for his mission, it seemed.

"K-Kyoki!?" Mark gasped, surprised by his sudden appearance that he almost dropped Shanira. Placing the platform of light back below them, Mark turned to face the masked man.
"Where have you been!?" Mark hissed at Kyoki, "There was a fight in Hellious. Remember!?"
Kyoki was probably one of the weirdest individuals he had ever worked with. He had known him for centuries and he never much understood his behavior... one thing was for sure was that he got a job done very effectively...
...Aside from the Hellious thing. Mark was legitimately confused at where he was.

"Ahh... Yeah... About that." Kyoki muttered scratching the back of his head again with a goofy chuckle. "Something kind of came up..."
Kyoki was casually walking through a vast field with his hands held behind his head, whistling to himself as he headed off for Santo-Luce to meet Mark, but then... As if from nowhere...
"My... Gods..."
A pony was stood trotting in a small square, this damn pony was... Was... It was a...
"A DANCING PONY!"
Kyoki suddenly rushed over, waving his arms about in an imitation of dance...
Didn't he have something to be doing..?
"I kind of got sidetracked... Aha..."

Shanira blinked for a moment as the weird angel showed up. She stared at him and Mark as they interacted and that was when it became perfectly clear to her...
...oh great. I was lead into an ambush!!!
She leaped backwards from Mark, sword readied and she glared between the two of them, Kyoki more for his 'disease' comments earlier.
"Explain this! Stay away from me or die," she snarled at them, nostrils flaring and her whole body shook with anger.

"WAAA! See?! Now she's trying to kill us!" He cried, ducking behind Mark for cover as Shanira raised her blade at the two of them. He poked his head over his fellow Archangels shoulder in order to look across at the woman shaking before them. He tapped Mark on the shoulder.
"Psst..." He whispered, clearly audible. "I think she's having a fit... Maybe you should help her..." He paused for a moment before continuing, not giving Mark the opportunity to reply. "Oh fine, I'll do it!" With that, he was gone, suddenly reappearing in between Mark and Shanira, giving a low and sweeping bow.
"M'lady! It seems you are having a fit but that is A-okay! Because it just so happens that I am a skilled healer! So everything is going to be fine!" He gave her a double thumbs up.

Now what was he doing? Mocking her? Her eyes glanced around trying to keep an eye out for the others to show up, wherever they were hiding!
"This is NOT fit!" she spat at Kyoki, unintentionally switching from angelic to common, "I'm not being fooled by you, I don't want you healing me, just stay back or I'll go for your throat!"
no she wouldn't. it'd be the knees. Her gaze turned briefly to Mark, desperately demanding answers, GOOD answers from him to alleviate her concerns. Because this was SO not the way she was expecting her first relationship to go!

"Sidetracked, huh?" Mark repeated before everything seemed to unravel right in front of him and before he knew it, Mark had a blade pointed towards him.
"Lady Shanira, wait, we're not going-" Mark tried to explain before his words were muted out by Kyoki's. Mark's eyes flared with light as his frustration grew with every passing moment - if there was a wall around he highly considered shoving Kyoki's head into it!
Taking a deep breath he stepped past Kyoki and tried to explain this entire mess, "Just cool down, everyone. This is Kyoki, he's an ally of mine and an archangel for that matter. He's one of the good guys!"
Mark too often forgot about the bitter relations between Solaris and Felios, the fact that Kyoki had worked for the first Solaris had no doubt given him the same opinion that Shanira was taught. Opinions Mark didn't share, he didn't have any particular hatred for Felios.
"We're not here to hurt you, okay?"

Shanira was silent for a long moment as she continued to wait for the impending attack that clearly never came. A few deep breaths in between calmed her down and after what could have felt like hours her blade dropped, though she still held onto it cautiously. She sighed as she looked to Mark and weakly smiled.
"It looking bad. You come, we go here alone and HE shows up," she gave another glare to Kyoki, not just because he still came off as suspicious but because he interrupted them...
"Solaris plays tricks. I am..." she shrugged, a shameful frown on her features, "sorry."

"I know, I'm sorry," Mark said giving a deep sigh, "It's not what I intended, I assure you."
'Solaris plays tricks.' The words echoed in his head - a reminder of the distrust she had for him. Mark didn't blame her of course, he blamed Felios.
Almost as if it was an instinct, Mark could feel rage building up in his chest for the god of light. Shanira wasn't even alive when the original Solaris was at the height of his power, she never witnessed first hand the horror's he was capable of. Everything she knew about him was handed down by Felios.
He shook those thoughts away and turned back to the archangel, "Kyoki, apologize for making Shanira think we were going to kill her!"

"WHAT?![/i] I just showed up!" He cried, crossing his arms against his chest, stubbornly. "She's the one that instantly jumped on the ambush wagon and tried to murderize me! Why! I've never been so insulted in all my-" He looked down for a moment, and made a small humming noise, he looked back up at the pair.
"We're quite high up, aren't we?"

Shanira narrowed her eyes at Kyoki.
"You wreck mine and Mark's game! You brat!" she snapped, stomping her foot as she tucked her sword away but her fists still balled up and ready to swing at him, "say to him bad thinks about me and Felios! You think I like that?!"
She marched herself to the end of the platform, fists readied at her side. The guy had wings and she didn't, but she didn't need wings to prove she could fly, let alone catch him to pummel his ass!
"I not need wings like you," she huffed, "Felios say I am too good to need them."

"That was a game to you two?!" Kyoki looked across at his fellow Archangel and shook his head. "Mark... Mark, Mark, Mark... You floozy!" He grabbed his stomach and threw his head back.
"Wahahahahaha!" He regained his composure, raising a hand to wipe away what would have been a tear near his eye were he not wearing a mask, but instead he just made an odd looking gesture of rubbing the porcelain covering his face. Taking in a deep breath, he looked across at Shanira, scratching the back of his head as he 'sat down' mid-air, crossing his legs once again, giving a shrug.
"Do you think that I like not having pie to eat..?" He looked to Mark. "Have you got any pie..? Or cake..? OOH OOH! How about a pony?! I love ponies!"
