Lio with a group of other men came to the ramparts with tools, stones, cement, and a butt load of other things they needed in order to make repairs. It was going to take time, but hopefully, Lio hoped people could actually come here and not have to worry about tumbling off and dying due to the crumbling structure.
Giving orders and directions of the days work, Lio helped the men section off the area they were going to work on for the week.
The first thing, they began work on, was the foundation itself. No use on making repairs to the walkway if the foundation was crumbling.
It was a long morning as the foundation was worse than what anyone had thought, but Lio and his crew worked long and hard on it until around noon. When they took a lunch break, he and the others sat beneath the shadow of the wall joking around and chatting about things on the island. It was good he was finding out more about the inhabitants and their daily lives while they in turn, grew easy with him, as he towered over all of them and seemed brutish when they first met.
After an hour of rest and relaxation with food and drink, everyone was up and working on the wall again. It was an abnormally warm day and Lio had to remove his shirt as it was soaked before he went back to work.
When the sun was setting he dismissed the crew and waved to them telling them he would see them again in the morning.
Once alone, Lio lay on the warm stones shirtless, dirty, and happy. Eventually he nodded off and took a small nap, sleeping until evening.
Lio awoke when his stomach growl brought him out of sleep and he yawned. "I wonder what time it is?"
He slowly got up and cracked his back before he grabbed up his disguarded shirt and went back to the castle.

Ash had watched her fly in and it took his breath away just as it had the first time he'd watched her fly. Everything about her was beautiful to him and he was powerless against her.
"I've been thinking. I have a few things I need to tell you," he told her softly as he walked over to stand in front of her and gently caressed her cheek with the back of his fingers, "You are so beautiful, Rebecca, not just your form but your heart and soul as well. Everything about you captivates me and has since I met you. When I was gone I found myself thinking about you constantly, wondering what you were doing, wondering if you hated me for leaving you like I had. And now that I'm here again I want to pull you into my arms and love you for hours then listen to you talk for just as long," he shook his head slightly in silent wonder then tore his gaze from her as he started to pace a bit, the breeze sending his hair scattering around him in the process.
"I've had to weigh alot of things since I saw you again. How do I serve my king and give in to what my heart wants at the same time? If I give in to my heart, I won't be able to serve Lareth as an assassin again, won't be able to use my abilities to seduce anyone else again. If I give in to my duty completely, though, I'll wind up as I've always been: alone.
"I know what I have to do now," he said to her and approached her again to stand in front of her, looking into her beautiful eyes as he took one of her hands in his and held it palm-side up, "I only hope Lareth can forgive me," he whispered softly and closed his eyes as he set one of his hands over hers.
A soft red glow began to form between their hands and a weight formed within that glow in the center of her palm, a weight that gave off a familiar beat after a few moments when the glow faded. He opened his eyes and looked into hers again, "I give you my heart, Rebecca, as only a demon can. With it, I give you all of me, to do with as you please," he whispered to her then removed his hand from hers to reveal something she quite likely wasn't expecting to see.
It was a heart-shaped pendant on a dark red ribbon. The pendant was of pure gold and decorated with the most delicate filigree work as it surrounded a ruby so deeply red that it almost looked black, and it gave off a heartbeat. So he had literally given her his heart.
As he stepped back from her, he took on his demonic form complete with leathery wings and dropped to a knee in front of her, his wings held tightly to his back. As he looked up at her, a collar appeared around his neck made of the same gold as the pendant but with her personal symbol etched into it in black, a delicate chain attached to the collar ran from it to wrap gently around her wrist and marked him as her very own bound demon.
There was the same sexual pull with him in this form, but with her holding his heart, it was lessened and proved that he could never hurt her even in this form. And in his eyes, now fully a deep violet as he looked up at her, was pure trust and love, showing her that she had the power to break him or accept him.

Rebecca softly stood there, she almost stopped breathing for a second there as he touched her cheek told her how he felt about her. She couldn't believe what she was hearing, he loved her and it made her feel like she was dreaming right then and there. As he pulled away she kept her soft bluegreen eyes on him as he continued to speak letting him get all he needs to do.
Rebecca looked him back in the eyes as he came back over to her and took her hand and put his over hers, she looks down at there hands as a red glow starts to show and she gasps a little...Is he...she thought and then she felt a small thumb against her palm and could hear it too. As he then removed his hand showing the heart charm with red ribbon. She was lost at words at the moment and then looked at him as he changed to his full form and knelt before her, watching the gold chain wrap around her waist.
She softly touches the chain and fallows it back to him looking into his violet eyes, he gave her his heart, he truly loved her and she still felt like she was dreaming, she looked at him and her charming smile grew on her face that he always seemed to put on her lips. "Ash... I fully accept this. I love you so much Ash, you always make feel better when you are around me, I couldn't stop thinking about either. i don't care for how you left I understood it." Rebecca says as she wasn't really good with her words right now, so she moved over to him and kneeling down in front of him and pulled him into her arms and kissed him deeply as silent happy tears fell down her face not being able to help herself at how happy she was right now and she just hand to feel his arms around her and feel his lips on hers once again.

Ash most definitely returned her kiss, his arms around her holding her to him tightly. As he kissed her, he returned to his usual good-looking self before breaking the kiss to look into her eyes to see that she'd spoken the truth and had to give out a soft shout of happiness as he got to his feet and spun her around by her waist. When he finally put her back on her feet, he took the pendant from her hand and tied the ribbon around her neck, letting his heart rest right over hers.
"I love you so much, Rebecca... I've been alive almost as long some of the older residents here and never in all that time did I find anyone who could make my heart beat just for them. Until you. I think I fell in love with you in those first few moments of meeting you. It sounds sappy, I know, but it's true. Helping you become yourself truly will always be one of my fondest memories, but even that is eclipsed by this moment," he told her softly as he held her to him.
Then he couldn't resist temptation any longer and kissed her as he picked her up and carried her to her room, fully intending to show her how much he loved her.

Lio and Tamlin stood on the semi repaired ramparts looking out at the ocean nearby.
Lio was the first to speak as both stood in comfortable silence.
"I hate to spring this on you, but we are short on help....usually a guard or two would patrol these walls, but due to circumstances, the guards are off taking care of other matters for Sebastet and myself.
I need you to patrol the walls....something is brewing and I am only aware of half of what is going on, but I am not about to let something surprise us if I can help it.
I read in the letter from Lareth that you are an able bodied warrior. I do not know the man personally, but he has my mates respect and in turn, that is good enough for me. If he says you can hold your own, I trust that. "
The lion gave him a smirk. "Besides....the way you carry yourself says you know the way of the blade and want to prove yourself."
Lio looked to him fully now. "To whom, I am unsure, but just remember, you do not have to impress or prove yourself here....always remember that the one you should impress and prove worthiness to is yourself. When you do that, you will be an unstoppable fighter."
Tamlin had no idea why, but the male lion made him feel at ease. He knew the male knew his swords and such as the two had sparred earlier. Of course Tamlin had lost, but he wasn't angry about it. The lion had simply pointed out where his weakness's were without prejudice and made him try something new to correct his mistake.
It was almost like a hypnotic dance when he thought about it. A dance of steel and....respect. Something Ash had neglected to teach him. Ash had taught him what he needed to know...drilled it into him....but it was empty. Lio had showed him that there was more than just moves. There was a sense of honorable feelings when fighting an opponent. Whether an enemy or not....always have respect for your opponent and their ability to make a sword sing.
Tamlin nodded. "I will guard the walls as you wish." He bowed. "I am here to serve."
Lio scratched his furry head. "Thank you, but please do not bow to me. I am only a master to myself. Please do not worry about formalities with me. You are your own master on this Island Tamlin. Everyone is equal here so do not bow your head. Hold it high."
Tamlin straightened and gave a ghost of a smile before it disappeared. "Yes....I will try and remember si- Lio."
Lio papped him so hard in the back Tamlin stumbled. "Good lad. You can start watch tomorrow, as I do have someone watching the wall presently. Lets go back to the castle. There you can eat and rest up before I put your nose to the ground in work."
Lio walked back towards the castle as Tamlin followed.
Perhaps the incubus could learn something on this island.

Ash finished moving up the stairs with silent steps, thanks to the soft suede boots he'd acquired from the leathersmith. But he paused when he caught sight of the platinum-haired beauty trying to work out excess energy. As if he could miss her, thanks to the pale hair and white dress...
The breeze tossed his own long dark hair around a bit, though he paid no attention to it. He didn't pay any attention to what he looked like either, even though he looked like a walking wet dream and frequently left women swooning in his wake. Tonight, he was wearing a black t-shirt and black jeans. All of it fit him like a glove and showed off his muscular body and tanned skin to perfection.
But he hadn't paid any attention to what he looked like or the reactions he got in a while, not since Rebecca left, along with her entire family. Shortly after that, the resident twins went on a trip with Dancer and Desha, the latter two as close to family as he'd ever had. Which meant that he was alone now.
The woman was tempting to him but he wasn't sure he should interrupt her or even consider...
He shook his head a bit and told himself to forget attachment and simply enjoy the moonlight and the wind.
So he finished moving up the stairs and headed over to a section of the ramparts where he could look out over the line of beach between the ocean and the island in silence, giving her the quiet she'd come up here for and trying to find... something...
He had no idea what he was looking for anymore...

Ash shrugged without turning around, "I didn't want to disturb you," he stated simply, his voice alone was the purest of seduction. The kind of voice that reached straight into the body and headed directly for all of the erogenous zones all at once. And completely unintentional on his part. It was just his voice, as far as he was concerned.
Then he heard the sounds of masonry crumbling, wood cracking, tearing and swearing and gave a heavy sigh as he lowered his head a bit, "Do me a favor and do not move for the next few moments," he told her simply and simply raised a hand.
The wooden beam burst into flame that didn't touch her or her dress, the flames simply turned the beam into ash almost instantly. That was followed by a bit of shifting of the crumbled masonry then a bit of flame moving over her dress where it was torn.
When the flames finally went out, she was free and her dress was repaired. and he'd done it all without turning around or laughing.
He lowered his hand and returned his dark eyes to the view, "I'd suggest switching to fighting leathers or something equally resistant to damage. You really don't have the figure for dresses like that anyway..." he told her calmly, his tone speaking to knowing what he was talking about.
He went silent for a few more moments before giving a soft sigh and turning to lean back on a low patch of stone, revealing his pure masculine beauty and dark eyes to her. He tucked his fingers into the tops of his pockets and relaxed back, looking like sin incarnate in the process without doing it on purpose.
"I'm Ash, by the way..." he introduced himself so simply but it said much about him. He was his name, he lived that name, and it was the only name he had...
