Backdated June 21 - Nothing Like a Death Sentence For Your Birthday
Lisa reclined after Julian lead her to the couch, Minnie having already politely departed. She stretched out an arm and held his hand, appreciating the security of having someone around. The mild grogginess of having been fed on still paled in comparison to the diagnosis Nemesis had given her.

	"What are you thinking about, Lisa? I can almost hear you through my shielding." Julian grins, playing with her fingers. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I... I can't even string a thought to myself together right now. My head's just jumbled." She shrugs. "Mostly bits and pieces with recurring doses of 'what the hell' and 'what now?'" Lisa grimaces, then snorts. "I'm used to getting what I want. This wasn't part of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You want to live, right? I'd say we're doing just fine on that." Julian says, sitting down on the couch. "Are you grumpy about not feeding?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah, that too." Lisa shifts around to lay her head in his lap, still playing with his fingers once she reclaims his hand. "I feel alive when I feed, when I become that part of something else. Walking around without holding onto some power... it's like living in black and white." She pauses. "The irony that that's what I did to Minnie when I tried her power is not lost on me."

Her gaze flicks to her watch absentmindedly, and she stares at the date as she notices it, then gives a grim little laugh.

"Happy birthday to me. Peachy."

	"Well, what do you know? Happy birthday to you, Lisa Graves. Would you like to open one of your gifts?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She turns her head to look up at him. "You remembered." Yeah, she needs that right now. She gives him a smile. "Sure thing, boss." Lisa sits up, presuming that even if he's got something in his pocket, her position isn't going to make it easy for him to retrieve. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Julian rises and heads over to his desk, drawing a flat, square-shaped box from the second drawer. He returns to the couch, sits down and hands it to her.

When she opens the box, she will find a leather strap with small silver spikes and diamonds encircling it.

"You were so kind to get me my favorite torc that I thought a neck piece that was equally beautiful would be fun for you." he smiles.

"I hope it's not too much." he says.

	"It's beautiful, Julian." Lisa says quietly, running her fingers along the piece, before setting the box down. She then goes about pulling her hair out of the way, and looking at him with a small, expectant smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Julian lifts the choker and wraps it around her neck, fastening it in the back. Once it's fastened, he kisses the back of her neck gently. "Beautiful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lisa lets out a gentle moan at that kiss, arching back against him, as much out of approval as exhaustion. She squeezes one of his hands again, head lolling to the side invitingly. "It's going to be okay..." She says, although it's not clear to which of them she's speaking more. (Reply to this)(Parent)
