"It's fine. I keep to myself, usually, anyway."
Crei swung her gun quickly and carefully onto her shoulder letting it balance as she followed Celeste.
Clean my gun, head to bed. Simple enough to follow.

"So does Gabriel, for the most part." Celeste replied witha nod. "And I didn't really answer your question earlier, about Angel. I'm not sure why she wants to be with Gabriel. That question is better addressed to him as he may know the answer. She plagues him after all."

"Alright. If I bump into him, I'll ask. If I don't bump into him, I'll just ask Angel. Unless she befalls some misfortune..."
Crei shrugged, hiding her evil smirk. She wanted to be that misfortune, but, she knew that if she was going to die, Gabriel was probably oin his last nerve and would do it.

"He's more likely to bump into you... or appear around you." Celeste said slowly. "It's very unnerving having someone appear behind you and talk. Gabe's good at it too. Can't hear him. Can't smell him. I don't know how he does it, but don't address Angel right away. She'll be suspicious of you and hate you until she's sure you're not here to get steal Gabriel from her and that he doesn't reciprocate the feelings."

Crei nodded, once more thinking to herself.
"Fine, I won't go to Angel right away. Besides, if she wants Gabriel, she can try her hardest to get him. It's not like I need him. But from what I've heard about her so far; she does."

Celeste looked back at Crei and spoke in a monotone. "She doesn't need him. She just wants him. Angel's been flitting from guy to guy ever since she changed and she's been moving up every time. Once she's gotten to Gabriel, I think she'll move to Ceit next and he'll humor her to exploit her knowledge of Gabriel, after which time... Ceit may very well destroy her. Now this is your room, it's right beside Gabriel's library. So he may pop in every-now-and-again to say something or check on you." Celeste said, suddenly changing the subject as she opened the door to a large room with a canopy bed, three huge bookcases, a large fire place and two large windows, which overlooked the south garden. "The door on the left leads to Gabe's personal library, which you can't get into without a special ward-key. The door on the right leads to your own bathroom. It has running water and is quite spacious. Gabe has a nice house and he makes all guests or residents as comfortable as possible."

Crei nodded again.
"And I guess Ceit is evil, and Angel wants power. I say off with her head....and, thanks."
She entered the room, and waved to Celeste, before heading into the bathroom for a towel to clean her gun.

Celeste snorted. "Where do you think his name comes from? Deceit? Conceit?" She muttered as she closed the door and walked off. "I should know though. I worked for him for about 300 years."

Crei rolled her eyes, before grabbing a random towel,and sitting on the bed, cleaning the outside of grease and powder. She then grabbed a small rod, and cleaned the inside of gunk.

Gabriel listened to Celeste walk down the hallway, having finished his conversation with Angel, who was brooding in her room. Gabriel stood up and crossed to the door of the library. He knocked.
"Crei? May I come in?"
(*growls* I'll have to go soon. So if I suddenly disappear... *grits teeth* My parents came home...)

((Okays. =P))
Crei looked up, and wiped her forehead of sweat. She had taken her gun apart, and discovered it was in worse shape than she had thought. She had black grease all over her face and hands, but none on the bed.
"Sure, if you want..."

Gabriel walked in, leaving the door open. He came over and looked from her gun to her face. He smiled slightly.
"My, that's some fine make-up you're wearing." He said in a light voice. "Would you like me to get you another towel?"

Crei's nose flared a moment, not that amused. But, she figured it would happen, anyway.
"Nah, i'll be fine. I was planning to take a shower before I went to bed, anyway."
She checked the trigger mechinism in her gun, and discovered there was a small snag of metal on it. She sighed, knowing it would take a while to fix it.

Gabriel's smile broadened and he leaned against the bedpost. "Alright, fair enough. I apologize." He said and nodded to her. "So, assuming that there was something to two most informed residents of my house couldn't answer you, do you have any questions?"
(BYE! *runs away to look busy*)

Crei smirked, realizing Celeste had given her more information than she had thought.
"No, not any. They were answered."
She turned her attention back to her gun, some of her hair getting infront of her eyes. She ignored it, and her robotic fingers became claws as she tried to poke a stray, useless wire out.

Gabriel remained quiet and watched Crei. He'd never met anyone like her before, though he probably could have if he ever felt like coming out of his house more. No, it was Celeste and Ize who knew everyone and everything, or just about leastways. And Gabriel was the only one in the house not familiar with technology.

Crei sighed, and managed to get the wire out of the trigger. She then put that part of her gun back together, and studied over the upgrade to it, making sure that when she enabled it, everytime she fired a bullet, it would fire a second automatically. She sighed, and her claws became fingers again as she attached everything together again.

"Don't let Ize see you do that thing with your hand." Gabriel commented softly. "He'd want you to do it repeatedly and ask you questions until your ears fell off. He loves to learn new things."

'Don't worry, I won't."
Crei rubbed the towel on her gun, making it shine. She smiled, seeing herself in it. Even with all the grease on her face, she thought, in her own way, she was pretty good-looking.

(Sorry I took so long.)
"Shiny." Gabriel said absently as he cocked his head at the gun. "Hm, well. If you run into Angel anytime soon, and she give you trouble... please don't kill her. I'll take care of it. I'm at my wits end with her."

"Oh, fine."
Crei replied, rubbing down the gun again with the towel.
"I have something better in mind, anyway..."

Gabriel straightened. "Well, if you need anything, I'm only next door. The others spend there time in the other levels or about." He said and walked back to his library, shutting the door quietly behind him.

Crei nodded.
"Thanks."
She whispered, going to the bathroom to wash up. Using the same towel, she turned the water on, and cleaned the grease off her face and hands.
