Waiting for Darius' response, he blinked, then made a face as Darius started to talk. Almost a mix between confusion and annoyance. Then he rolled his eyes "Oh. I'm sorry. You're sister your new mom or something? She gets to influence you're thoughts and opinions?" He laughed a little but, even if he were only joking before, hearing that from Darius was fascinating. Crossing his arms under his chest he let the other go on, bringing his right hand up to his chin, his index finger brushing along his lips as the other spoke.

"Does she?" He narrowed his eyes a bit, speculating. The other world was certainly not one he had been to, due to his being busy with his kingdom. Though he was there, once, to get away from being murdered some time before. Asher tapped his finger to his mouth "And who would I be, to tell you not to go…" But he had to wonder what more this might have been. After all, hadn't going through all this trouble to get his soul back after it was stolen, something that made their relationship stronger. If he did look the other way on this, and it bit him back for it, then, it would be his fault. Because he could see this being more than a visit with a parental guardian to a sibling who was raised practical stranger.

As Darius continued, it seemed more that the other was wanting him to come along. But he didn't know much about this other dimension. He had mostly been in a coma and in a dead like state of being when he was there. Inhaling sharply he turned slightly, dropping his hand to the diamond hanging from his neck, considering the others words "Hm. No. I think they could handle it. Actually, I'm sure they could. Just a few months, is nothing compared to the last time I was absent…certainly absence would be better, than Sage's rule over them…" Dropping his hand down from the diamond then, he toyed with a ring on one of his fingers "And when would we be leaving? Hm?"

Theatre Dates // Asher && Alyson

The blonde stood in front of her mirror and ran both hands through her hair, cocking her head to the side at herself. She still had a large grin on her face and it had stayed that way most of the day since Asher had asked her on a date, she hadn't really expected it, but then again it wasn't unexpected either. Turning to her bed, Aly looked at the small rabbit sitting on it and sighed. "H-How do you think I-I look Muffin?" The rabbit barely twitched before rolling onto its side and looking up at the blonde girl. "G-Great," she walked over and stroked the animal between the ears before picking up her small bag and leaving her room, rushing down the stairs and heading straight to the door. 

Walking outside she sat down on the front step, covering her knees with the skirt she was wearing and placing her chin on both hands. She had told her mothers what had happened that day and to say they were happy was an understatement, they were overjoyed that Aly had managed to make friends let alone be asked on a date. After what happened before, none of them wanted a repeat. A normal person would have sat inside the house and waited for their date to knock, but Aly knew that if Ash knocked then there was a possibility that her mothers would answer and she still didn't want anyone to know about them, she had just started to make friends and she didn't want that to end. Aly sat patiently on the step, a small smile still on her face as she thought over how the evening would go, making an image in her mind but knowing that it wouldn't go how she saw it.

The cheshire eyed the other, not truly believing they intended it the opposite. But still the statement was true, he was very capable "Why not? She's our child!" He was annoyed, clearly, but the other wasn't giving any good reason as to why he couldn't be a part of it. Sage was harmless in her prison.

Making a face, he glares toward the hatter, then turned his head away, claws digging into the table he sat at as he listened "Of course…" The other had been bonding with his sister much these days, which he had no problem with, they hadn't seen one another in a life time. But this, it didn't feel like something that should exclude him.

He was still waiting for Darius to explain why he couldn't come with, when it was their child that was being dealt with. Which he was trying to wait for Darius to explain it, any way "Are you going to tell me or am I simply supposed to guess?"

Pulling back a little bit, he stuck his head out slightly letting the other talk "Of course." He blinks, grinning half sarcastically toward the other "Take the floor then." Asher sat back then, relax a little more letting Darius talk.

Picking at the armrest of his throne, Asher glanced to one side, tilting his head slightly as he thought about their daughter. She was certainly a nightmare, yes. She had killed him, yes. But she was still family. That was hard to escape, as a fact. Asher took Darius' silence in that moment to claw slightly at the wood of the throne he sat on.

With the question he raised his eyebrows "How are we-…Sage is-" Where was Sage anyway, if the two did run into one another, it would certainly become some issue. Hissing, his ears pressed back, pupils slitting slightly, baring his canines "Well!" Inhaling he sat back again, "I think we'll have to be honest with Darla. Sage is mad, we'll tackle that another time." Slightly annoyed by the situation, he pricked his tongue with a canine "Yes. I think that is best…" He confirmed.

"But don't I have to be slutty, to be called a slut?" He questioned, making a face. Of course, he wouldn't count the fact that he often sat on his throne 'like a slut' for that. Or the fact that he had at times had some slutty behavior…Not that she knew, right? RIGHT?! Asher huffed "Well it can go with the other name my bitchy brothers give me…" Pulling his head back he glances from one side, to the other "Less bratty?" That didn't sound like him "Give it a minute or two." Smirking, he blinks intentionally. Then he laughed "I don't age, Mossie." Turning away a bit, he tapped a finger onto his left arm "And what have you been doing, all this time? That's what is usually asked, right?"

Asher paused, thinking for a moment. Then grinned widely. Clapping his hands together "Tooo beee fair. The nightmares keep me awake at night. But besides that- We don't have humans here that often. I wouldn't want to eat one though." Sticking a finger out, he points it into Darius face, before poking the others nose "Now dormice. That is completely different. It is still a shame they were all nearly wiped out." He pouts a little. Then exhaled, giving a shrug "We'll figure out something for dinner, I'm sure."

Pointing at the other, he snapped his fingers toward Darius "Temporarily dead, you're right!" He giggled slightly, before he sniffed, staring for a moment as he went quiet, Darius soon enough saying something catching his attention again.

"Right. That's certainly what it is." He was not one to care about such things, that way, right? Though his people certainly had, that's why this entire situation had come about, the pressure for marriage, to secure the royal line. As Darius spoke he nodded his head acknowledgement toward Darius' words "Ah, well, how unfortunate for them that you are, more, or less. Their queen, that is?" He laughs shifting slightly as he continued to toy with the ring, it was loose on his finger, showing more how much he had suffered during his time of 'death'.

Listening to Darius half distracted he made a face, his brows furrowing slightly "Well, I have no idea what religion is, to be fair." He had never been introduced to such a thing. Perhaps because of the fact that his mother kept him at arms length and he was certainly not raised within a notably religious family because Wonderland honestly had no such thing…all in all, cults on the other hand, seemed to be more common.

"Alright, alright. We can…" Asher had relented a little bit. Then closed his eyes, slouching a little indignantly when Darius spoke on "Darriiiuuss…I do imagine I might have been sad long before you found your space in my life." Laughing, he raised his eyebrows "Can't you just-" Wiggling his right hand in front of his face a bit "I'd say there's plenty of other events where I'd be saddened by." Looking at the ring, however, he paused, going quiet for a moment "However…Frustrating…you could be…"

Hearing Darius' concerned question he looked over, pulling his hand slightly from his head "Uhm. I think…yes. I am. I am… I just…" His hand moved down over toward his torso, fingers tracing a long where the scars from his injuries still remained. Pulling his hand away he balls it into a fist "Sorry…yes…I think…Maybe we should not speak too much of her." He mumbled dispassionately, almost feeling out of body. Then finally he looked over at Darius "It wasn't your fault…like that, okay. It was the best decision at the time." At least he was sure. He simply could not remember though. Shaking his head at Darius' reasoning then he exhaled heavily "I don't think she will, she's grown passed that…She thinks I killed you…"

After composing himself a little bit he shifted, turning toward one of the staff and walking over to talk with them about putting in a protocol for his going away for around a month. Asher and the staff member talked for a moment before he returned to Darius "Alright, all set." Thinking then, he glanced up, trying to think of a silly gift for a silly holiday "OOooh…Huh…Maybe we should give her a those fruits that taste like things they are not…"

Asher glared for a moment after hearing that. They had no right to tell him who he could or could not save.

But he had remained silent, for now. Only letting the other talk for the time being. His annoyance grew with every word out of thier mouth, honestly. William had to be a fool to think that his daughter was the only one worth saving. But if that were the case, then whatever William thought was worth saving about her, wasn't what Asher's thoughts on how to save her, were. She wouldn't be some deranged machine of misery and destruction, anymore.

"Yet you're still saying I should save her…" He started, bringing his hands together then "And what if that means remaking her into something less ruthless, or powerful. What if I made her good?" Though he had quite clearly failed in doing so the first time, because Darius had decided to remain majorly out of Sage's life. All Sage had wanted was a mother, but the story she was told, was that her mother was dead, and she had become obsessed with Asher in the process as she grew up. Then she became obsessed with the idea that he had killed her mother, and that the kingdom rightfully should be hers.

Asher grinned at the others telling him to bite his tongue "Of course there is…" Then he rolled his eyes a bit when it was revealed that William wasn't here for him, but for Sage. Sage, who was sentenced to another realm for her punishment in this one "Well, it was a great effort, if it means anything to you. Getting me back to this throne." Narrowing his eyes however, he hissed at William's demand "I think you're mad if you want me to do that. I can carry this weight just fine…"

Moving closer to William then, he leaned on the table, getting in closer to the others personal space "And if you plan to change that, I don't think you'll like the ending to that, because I'll show you what a truly heartless king, can do." Smirking, he tapped the tip of Williams nose "Stay away from my family, and keep whatever scheme you are considering, away from my people."

He hissed before he pushed himself up a little more "Those movies might not be real. But, you know what those movies don't have? Magic." He shook his head, giving a 'dismissive' look and gestured toward the other "Besides. I've gotten in a lot worse situations. Hell. I even died once…or twice." Grinning, his sharp canine's showing, his tail swished to one side, before it stopped, twitching a little bit "It was going to be really fun, before you stop me." Giving a sly look he turned his head a moment later.

Though now he was just going to have to find something else to sate his boredom. With a sigh he started to considered a few new options while listening to Darius spoke. Half rolling his eyes at the suggestion to do something productive he shrugs "Sure. Something, safer, you would probably suggest?" His tone was slightly teasing. Though he wasn't against a few drinks, he was seeking more action, but maybe, he considered, he might be able to sneak some in while the other was glaring "Oh? Is that something fun for you? Darius. I'm just now learning this-" Reaching out, he grabbed the other by their shirt, yanking them in closer "As you wish." He then quickly licks the others face, before pulling away, laughing.

"Oh really!?! Just like you?! Wow! I don't believe it..." He gave the other a bored look then before bringing his hand away from their stomach and smirking a little as they spoke again " I'm a cheshire, Darius. I've never even seen a bear. Have you?" He gave the other man a suspicious look then " Well, I can just grow more fingers back, right?"

Inhaling, he took in her anger as thought it were small little snacks to him. He raised an eyebrow at her comment though "Lizard face? Huh. Never been called that before." Last he checked he also wasn't a lizard." Reaching up a hand up, he ran his fingers along his face "Whatever, humans are weird and weak." Asher then commented, dropping his hand from his face and waving it out a bit "Cry about it." As she went on to then correct him saying something about charcoal he curled his nose and muttered "Coal, brimstone, same color." Though with her accusing him for her death, and subsequent arriving at hell to bring him entertainment he laughed.

"What?! Uhm. I am sorry, but I didn't kill you and make you commit your sins to come here. You did. When will you human's learn that you are entirely responsible for what happens to you in life." Taking a step closer to her, he held his hands out on either side of him, offering a smug smirk "I'm your punishment baby girl. Now, when I say jump! YOU say, ‘how high!?’ " Poking the middle finger of his left hand into her chest, he cackled a bit "So sit tight, sweetheart. We got eons together, my plaything." Then he gave an unimpressed look "As if you are my only one. I have plenty of others...You're all mine."

Asher tilt his head at the others refusing to just let him do it. He laughed a little bit then raised his eyebrows, his mouth opening a little as he clicked his tongue, kind of annoyed " Oh? You care?" Asher rolled his eyes then and held up his arms " No no. It wasn't any of the shit leading up to this point, but now, now it's just suddenly click-getthefuckoutofmywayyoucarenowmyass- " Asher quickly said before deftly ducking under the taller man as he moved to walk passed them " I'm not an idiot just because you don't like it. What about me?" Asher turned, rotating acrobatically on his heel, tossing his arms out, his hands covered in the sleeves of his shirt " You know, I gave up everything for you. I lost my soul! Just to try and make you happy." Laughing, he paused, and looked around.

" Maybe I am an idiot. Because that was a stupid cause. But if I act any differently. If I act indifferently. What then? You'll not be happy. I'll not be happy. We both suffer twice as much. So-" Lifting his right hand to the side of his head, he scratched his temple "So, see this from my perspective how stressful it's been. Because you want me, but don't want me, but do like having me. But don't want me around. But miss the things I do when I am around, but tell me to stop doing them-" Asher snickered "You're nuts! You are absolute crazy!- Course I knew this. I love that about you. But fucking hell, man- It's like constantly walking on land minds to deal with you, because you're crazy ass is so flipfloppity it's hard and harder to bring you joy. But I'm squeezing those moments out as hard as I can, the more you resist. The more I must have it. Am I crazy?!"

Having been looking for a replacement for his recently trashed guitar. The teenager ran the ends of his calloused fingers along some of the guitars on display "Hmm."  He seemed to be considering what he wanted to pick up at that moment. Asher had been alone. He usually was alone. His other six brothers had their own things they were doing. But Asher was here, pouring his attention into the instruments all around. Though he could hear a group enter, some of the group was a little rowdy.  Though others split off to get a look around the place on their own.

Asher spotted one male standing near a piano. Seeing as they were gliding their fingers along the key's in front of them. He noticed that it might have been the instrument of this person's choice. Watching closely he noted it. But it was the notes they had suddenly started to play on the keys that got him really interested. He could have sworn that that sound a lot like Jurassic Park. His head tilt a bit, he looked a bit perplexed for a moment. He didn't know Aeron could play the piano. When Aeron looked around and spotted him he ducked slightly, attempting to hide behind an instrument.

But he gave up pretty easily at that when he noticed their nose wrinkling at him and their eyes narrowed. A small frown formed on his lips. They hated him, they had always hated him. Asher watched a moment longer as they turned and started off into another direction "I don't know why they are always so hateful toward me. I've never spoken to him." Asher muttered then before turning away and going back to looking for his instrument "He's always been like that though. An asshole..." Taking a guitar off the wall he moved to sit on the floor and strummed a view strings, muttering a song under his breath.

Asher glared at Syn when she spoke about his messes being in the kitchen. Glancing behind his back then he looked around, then rolled his eyes " I think you are exaggerating, honestly." The sin of Wrath spoke rolling his eyes " How the fuck did it get in the bag, if your sloppy ass didn't put that shit away properly, huh?" He pointed out then, dropping at his hip a bit and leaning his head in more toward the woman, his teeth baring a bit.  Though when Syn moved to try and grab at his legs he kicked at her hands "Don't fucking touch me, you are covered in blood, you nasty." Worming away from her hands he stumbled a bit " You realize this is hell, don't you? This entire dimension is a god damn mess, princess!"

As the woman clings to him he wondered what had been going through her mind. What had she found that was so interesting about him. He usually could bring rage and hatred to anyone who got to close. Always, he was surrounded by angry hate fill people. His father, his brothers, everyone would succumb to his Aura of Hatred. But she still stuck around. She actually enjoyed his company? Asher glanced toward her as she called him that " Ugh, Ash? Really?" He commented with a bit of a displeased look and a shake of his head " You're lucky I don't drop you on the ground right now. What a disgusting name. That idiot in that cartoon, Pokemon is named that. What is wrong with that kid?" Asher commented with a light growl. As he continued to walk with her he remained silent, stewing in his rage. Then a small laughed left him when her face pressed to his chest " Are you having fun, Syn?"  Though the next thing she had to say had him blinking, a bit confused " You need a break already?"

Asher gave Sean a look up and down as the other spoke "It's always something to do with Darius, when my things don't go as planned, Sean." At least he wouldn't need to worry about it anymore. Asher tilt his head, looking curiously away then, thinking quietly for a moment "Because he's desperate to prove he can do it without me. That's why we are no longer communicating. Him and I. You should do the same. He told me himself he doesn't want to be involved with anyone. Give him what he wants, Sean." Asher gave an amused huff " But you're an adult. I'm sure you are more than capable of doing whatever you think would be best." Not that he was concerned. The emotion selling business  had been plummeting long before Sean quit. Most of the Diamond and Club Kingdom's were dry countries.

The people were thriving just fine without the substances offered by Sean or Darius.  Moving away then he goes to sit down " No. I don't want to talk about it. It's done. I'm moving on with my life. Sage is safe living in the Club Kingdom. I visit her several days a week." Asher smiled lightly " There's really nothing to talk about. My life, has continued on as it always has been. See, Sean. That's what happens when you are content. I'm very much content with this arrangement between Darius and I. He requested to be alone. And I suppose if that would make him happier. I gifted him this thing he seeks. Why do you presume that I am not happy? If Darius is doing what he wants to do, and doing what ever it is that he would like to do with his life. Then, I am happy for him. Honestly."
