"But... you've gotten hurt so many times already.. every day you leave, we get so frightened." she says with a huff and a whiney voice
"No, it wouldn't.. you wont have to wait long, love."
"That depends on what you are thinking, what do you think?"
"When I come home, I always have you three to heal and take care of me. I wish I didn't have to fight, and people didn't die turning into infernals, but this is the way of the world."
He leans back, smiling "If you say so, I can wait all you need."
"I think you mean, well, you know. I think I'd rather just be here with you for now."
"What if.. one day you don't come home?.."
She rubs a paw down his neck and chest. "I got my Spirit of the Flesh back."
She scoffs, “We have only interacted twice, not yet, maybe later but not yet.” She says with a smile.
He thinks about it for a moment, leaning into her, “I promise, I will always come home.”
He pulls her close, keeping the warmth up “Good, I want you to live forever.”
"Well, I didn't want to assume!..." he grumbles
"You'd better." she pouts
"And.. I have one for you, all you have to do is take it."
She runs a claw across their face again, “I will tell you when I want what I want.”
“I’m going to keep that promise.” He passionately kisses her,
“Who gave up their spirit?” He asks, a little surprised as he visibly thinks about it, biting his lip in thought.
“Would you prefer I take what I want tonight?” She asks with a smirk.
He holds their hips, and shoulders, “Do you want to do anything other than go asleep?”
“Isn’t that convenient… do you want me to take it?” He continues to think, wanting their opinion.
"No.." he shakes his head.
"Hmmm... Not really. I like this, being here with you.."
"If you do not take it, I will not be upset. The choice is yours and can be undone."
“Good, then we shall sleep.” She closes her eyes, and seems to just, turn off.
He smiles and leans against them, “I am a little tired anyway.”
“That isn’t what I asked, Sam, I want to know what you want, I can make my choice then.”
He shrugs, and just kind of settles in with her.
"Me too.. the others are sleeping, as well."
"I.. yes, I want you to take it! I didn't even think you'd hesitate. I spent a lot of time trying to get it for you, and.."
(Good place to end? My choice is… Jax.)
He nuzzles into them, providing a little warmth “One more kiss before we go to sleep?”
“Then it’s settled, I wanted immortality, or at least to be with you forever, but I also wanted what you want, though I’m a little afraid I’ll make a mistake, do something wrong and hurt someone.”
“Would you prefer I take what I want tonight?” She asks with a smirk.
He holds their hips, and shoulders, “Do you want to do anything other than go asleep?”

Jax is unable to sit still, clawing at his arms
"mmm, sure." she nuzzles back before kissing them deeply
"I... I worry that too, but I trust you, and I love you." she brings forth, from seemingly nowhere, a white orb that hums gently
Jax, even with the state he’s even, would notice something concerning. He hasn’t seen or heard from Marie, all day, with no trace where she’s gone, and not in her usual way.
He kisses them back just as deeply, enjoying each moment as if it were his last.
He looks at the orb but doesn’t take it from them, keeping his hands at their sides, “I…. Thank you Sam, I love you too.”
“Would you prefer I take what I want tonight?” She asks with a smirk.
He holds their hips, and shoulders, “Do you want to do anything other than go asleep?”

He looks at the orb but doesn’t take it from them, keeping his hands at their sides, “I…. Thank you Sam, I love you too.”
he decides to use his urge to hunt to find her, nearly bursting out of his clothes as he takes a Fenrir form
"Now, go to sleep." she says, making sure he gets comfy
The orb seems to tease him, floating around his horns.
They smell Marie’s scent, along with a few others, from what he can tell, she was taken from home by force as the scent leads them.
He does, leaning against her and falling asleep eventually.
He watches the orb with a smile “This is the spirit of Flesh? What do you want me to do?”
She runs a claw across their face again, “I will tell you when I want what I want.”
“I’m going to keep that promise.” He passionately kisses her,
“Who gave up their spirit?” He asks, a little surprised as he visibly thinks about it, biting his lip in thought.
*Cut for Salem.*

He watches the orb with a smile “This is the spirit of Flesh? What do you want me to do?”
Dracula is shopping for a dress to wear to his wedding, one that’s just perfect.
They are led into the forest, towards some ruins, decrepit and old.
He grabs it out of the air, squeezing it softly with one hand.
Suddenly, he’s standing behind some of the folks, “What are you talking about?” He knows, but he wants to hear it.
They hear muffled screams back at them as they go through, eventually finding Marie about to be ritually sacrificed by some cultists.
After a moment he sighs, “Immortality, and with it, endless joy with the love of my life.”
“He’s gay, and he’s not serving Dracula.” He smiles brightly showing his fangs “We are getting married.”
One of the cultists is instantly frozen as the one with the ritual knife tries to stab into her.
“You shouldn’t thank me for doing something I wanted to do, I thought of you, me, our future children.”
“No no, you’re wrong ma’am, I am Dracula.” Suddenly the room is dark, the only thing visible is him.
Blood trickles from behind his mask and cloak, he laughs as his chest caves in.
He kisses them happily, having no words to say, his hands moving back to hold their body tightly.
