Mystic appeared a few feet in front of them, holding Melody like one would with an actual toy doll. "Now Solomon, no yelling alright? She can't cause you any trouble..and technically, Holden has a greater say in where she is to go over you; Jean-Pierre did give him 'guardianship' after all." He set Melody down, "You should be okay for about 3 hours or so, as long as you don't get into any trouble. Just have Holden contact me, I'll keep my telepathic link in his brain. Okay?"

Melody nodded, 'Thank you Mystic. I'm sorry for bothering you a lot.' She turned to face Solomon and Holden, 'Does he know sign language?'

Solomon stared a bit, "What happened to..your hair? You don't seem like the hair cut kind of guy." He looked down to Melody, "I do, but I haven't used it in hundreds of years, so I might be a bit rusty."

Mystic sighed, "I'd ask if it was really that noticeable, but I already know it is. Well, long story short, something got stuck in my hair near my shoulders, so I had to cut it all off." He bowed a bit, tilting his hat and disappearing.

[Bovice]

Holden knelt down, 'If he messes up I will beat him up. Ok?' He signed with a wink. He waved to Mystic but noticed that he was already gone. He smiled and picked her up, "So how has your training been going?" Holden asked as he put his other arm around Solomon's waist.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon was mildly uncomfortable, but he smiled nonetheless, for Holden, "You can only try, Holden. Now come on, I think Anne's done making supper."

Melody smiled a bit, 'Pretty good. I think I've got this whole walking business down. If only I could talk..' She frowned for a second, then smiled again, 'Hey, he hasn't yelled at me yet. Maybe he's not so mad anymore?'

[Bovice]

"Yes darling~" Holden said in a singsong tone as he walked with Solomon to the kitchen. "Well that's good. And I'm sure you will be talking in no time." He said with a smile. 'Maybe.' Holden signed still smiling.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon was about to dryly comment on how she would never be able to speak in that body, but decided to not dampen the mood. "From the smell of it, chicken soup..." He led Holden into the dinning room and pulled out a chair for him, "I'm assuming you don't eat Melody?"

She shook her head as Solomon addressed her, I cannot...' She turned and opened her mouth, revealing there was just a slight indent inside. She touched it with her finger before closing her mouth, 'But thank you for asking.'

[Bovice]

"From what I can smell, it smells fantastic." Holden said as he sat down. He quickly pulled out the chair next to him and set Melody down in it. He leaned his head back and looked up at Solomon with a smile, he mouthed "Thank you for being nice to her." He leaned his head back down and looked at Melody, 'So what did you put in Mystic's hair?' Holden asked with a smile.

[Evil Tink]

"I try Holden." "I'll go get it then. I might have to try some myself if it's smelling this good~" He headed off into the kitchen.

Melody chuckled slightly, 'I'm not sure to tell you the truth. It was green, it stunk, and it glowed. He wasn't too happy. At least he has the luxury of growing his hair..Mine's just a wig sown onto my head.' She tugged at it lightly then folded her hands in her lap.

[Bovice]

Holden smiled as Solomon left the room. 'Ya..' He said with a chuckle. 'Even though it's a wig, it is a very beautiful color.' He said as he tucked some of Melody's hair behind her ear. He smiled and adjusted her headdress. 'There beautiful.' Holden said tapping her nose with his index finger.

[Evil Tink]

She smiled slightly, looking up at him. Before she could speak, Solomon had come back and set a bowl in front of Holden. 'Oh my that looks amazing. I wish I could taste it.'

Solomon sat down after giving Holden his spoon, "It's some sort of chicken noodle soup, I don't know I wasn't really listening to her. She said it was a Mexican recipe."

[Bovice]

Holden smiled and looked to Solomon. "We need to work on your listening skills." He said patting Solomon's knee. He blew on the soup and took a slurp. His taste buds were thrown through a loop, "This is really good." Holden said as he took another slurp, but quieter this time.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon nodded, after chewing the piece of chicken he fished out with his spoon, "Another reason I'm glad I'm a vampire~ I can eat all the food she cooks and not regret it~" He chuckled, letting the soup cool a bit before eating a few more spoons. "I'm sorry to eat in front of you like this Melody. I'm sure Mystic and Azriel will figure something out. They're smart."

She nodded with a slight frown, 'It's alright Solomon...I'm the one who's sorry. It's my fault that Holden got hurt...and then he was weakened when he was attacked. I so sorry...and I know this isn't the place to talk about this, but I had to make sure I apologized before Mystic came to pick me up.'

[Bovice]

Holden let the spoon go and smack against the bowl. He let out a deep sigh, "Its not your fault Melody, nor is it Solomon's, Alicia's, Hayden's, Jason's or Amanda's. It's mine." He said rubbing his hands on his pants, trying to calm down. "If I wouldn't of..." He trailed off taking a deep breath. Holden shook his head and went back to eating his soup.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon closed his eyes with a sigh, "It's done and over with Melody. Nothing can change what happened...but, I appreciate the apology." He smiled slightly, putting his free hand on Holden's knee giving it a slight squeeze, "At least smile for her."

Rather than argue, she simply nodded. She was rather relieved to hear Solomon 'accept' the apology. She smiled a bit, sitting up straight, 'Is it okay if I steal Holden for the few hours I'm here? I'll promise to keep him out of trouble.' She looked up to Solomon, hopeful.

He shrugged, "If he'd like to, I don't mind."

[Bovice]

Holden weakly smiled, "There isn't much we can do. We could go for a walk, but I'm not sure what state we are in." He said scratching his head a little bit. He ate the rest of his soup, "But if you want to do something Melody, let me know." Holden said with a smile.

[Evil Tink]

"We're in Wisconsin Holden, about an hour or so West of Janesville." He finished off his soup, savoring the memory of the taste.

Melody tilted her head, 'Is there a doll shop near by? Or a seamstress? I've been in this dress since...forever...and I'm sick of just wearing one dress. But..I want to do something you'd like. Or we could..just sit outside again. That was nice.'

Solomon pondered a bit, "You'd have to ask Seth or Sean about that Melody. I haven't been here in years."

[Bovice]

Suddenly Seth walked in holding a rather expensive looking bottle of scotch. "Damn people. Yelling at me." He mumbled as he took a swig from the bottle. He sat down and noticed that Holden, Melody, and Solomon where there. He pulled out something from his pocket and poured it into the scotch bottle. He took another swig and looked at Holden, "What did you need to know? And I would say ask quick because this little thing I put in here acts quick." Seth said stammering over his words.

"How can you be drunk? Vampires couldn't get drunk last time I checked." Holden said looking at Solomon. "Is there a doll shop near here or something?" He asked looking at Seth.

"Camelia gave me a potion." Seth said as he started sobering up. "Damn. She lied to me, she said this would last for sixty minutes not sixty seconds. Sorry, yes there is." He said shaking his head. "In Mukwonago, about and hours dive from here." He said as he went to take another swig, but decided against it. Suddenly the bottle disappeared, and a bottle of water was in his hand. He opened it and took a swig, "Now you could drive there if you want." He said pulling out his keys. "Oh and the is a city that is about an hour and a half north of Mukwonago, it's called Fond du Lac. I say stop there to, it's quite nice." Seth said sliding the keys to Holden.

Holden listened to Seth, and grabbed the keys when they came to him. He suddenly got directions to every place in Wisconsin. "Thanks." He said rubbing his head.

"Yup no problem, now if you'll excuse me I am off to kill some people."
