Don't Be Stubborn, My Sweet [Dianthe/Makani]

[phantasmalunar]

Dianthe Cross walked the halls of the huge mansion where his family lived. Though many of his cousins lived here, mostly the halls were empty and Dianthe relished in the eerie quiet of them. His shoes clicked on the hard marbled floors, long black robes flowing around him like his indigo hair. His cross shaped jewelry clinked and shone in the moonlit light through the windows in the hall. It was the dead of night, Dianthe's favorite time, the quiet time. What could possibly desturb him?

[fearless]

Makani ran through the quiet street stumbling a bit. His side was cut, he had been flying in his dragon form and some idiot had shot at him. Luckily he had not been far up and it did not hurt too bad when he fell. Though his ribs felt bruised and he knew they were sprained. He felt at the door of a huge mansion, he could not go any further and hoped the person who was chasing him did not find him. He knocked on the door praying some one would hear him and let him in.

[phantasmalunar]

Dianthe had just come down the stairs to the first floor when he heard the knocking on his door. Quickly, he went over to it and opened it slowly, purple eyes widening at the sight of a beautiful creature looking pathetically at his door. "May I help you?"

[fearless]

"Please," he wheezed, he hurt to talk with his hurt ribs. He showed him his cut, "I...I was a...attacked..."

[phantasmalunar]

Dianthe furrowed his brows and opened the door reaching a hand out for the person to take. "Hurry then, come in."

[fearless]

Makani took his hand and stumbled into his house. "T...thank you," he whispered hoping he would not blanch at the horn on his head.

[phantasmalunar]

Dianthe nodded and helped the horned person into the mansion. "Let's get you up to the nursery. There are ladies there that can clean that for you."

[fearless]

Makani nodded, "Just slowly," he pleaded softly. "I think I bruised my ribs..."

[phantasmalunar]

Dianthe nodded and helped the horned person up the stairs until the reached the nursery. "Assin, Mikinah," he called, "I need your help."

Two maid cladded women walked out and quickly gathered the horned person and led him to get clean. "Bring him back out here to me when you're done."

[fearless]

Makani looked back to him, "Thanks," he told him once more then let the women led him to wherever they were going. "Please be careful...my ribs hurt, I think I sprained them."

[phantasmalunar]

The maids were careful as they patched him up and then led him back to where Dianthe was. "Do you feel better? What is your name, sweet creature?"

[fearless]

Makani nodded, "Much thank you," he told him softly. He smiled now at his second question, "I am Makani, and I was wondering if I could stay the night and I will be gone tomorrow I promise."

[phantasmalunar]

Dianthe nodded. "You may stay, longer if needed, Makani," Dianthe said liking the sound of the other's name. "I am Dianthe Cross and this is my home."

[fearless]

Makani nodded, "I have a home near the forest in the next town, I assure you one night is all I need. It is nice to meet you Mr. Cross," he told him politely. He wondered where is room was but would wait to be shown it.

[phantasmalunar]

Dianthe shook his hand, a shock running up his arm. "Shall I show you to your room then?"
