Kor looked between everyone, decided it best to be the last one out, and stepped into the elevator first. Konstantin and Moira followed, and that left Krynn and Rajin to step in. All the while, Kor's apologetic look shone from the back and Konstantin's distasteful eyes burned holes into Krynn's core. Moira seemed more sympathetic toward her daughter with Konstantin around, but didn't make any motion to stop her husband. She watched her daughter hit the button, and waited with everyone for the trip to be over. Krynn stood less closely to Rajin, Her skin was pale and she looked both sickly and viper-like all at once. Both looks were disasters.

Rajin stepped into the elevator last with Krynn by his side. The doors closed slowly but smoothly. No screeching or squeaking.The snakes and ifrit were finally on their way to their destination. Going up and up. All the while, Rajin was beginning to feel slightly uncomfortable. The genie blinked for a moment before turning his head slowly to Krynn. Her skin was white as sheet, and that was saying something. Her sallow complex made the ifrit raise an eyebrow. Rajin then glanced to her father he looked like he was burning holes into the back of the genie's wife's head. Rajin looked forward again and felt the need to break the almost unbearable silence. "Mr. Zmeya. You seem to take a large interest in your daughter. The back of her is nice I agree, but the front is better." The way Rajin spoke, it would more than likely be taken as disrespectful. Especially someone as powerful as Krynn's father.

Krynn's hand slowly gripped Rajin's, tighter every moment. When he looked to her, she did her best to just look forward. She needed to appear hard and uncaring and she needed to be the dominant person she faked every day. And she was succeeding, chin up, eyes sharp. She was still colorless, but she looked strong enough. When her husband spoke, she looked to him and then to her father. Konstantin was.. grinning? Krynn looked back to her husband. Konstantin spoke, and his voice was a poison for her to hear.
"Perhaps if she were facing me instead of being too proud to look at her father," He was drawing attention to Krynn's cold behavior rather than his own. Not playing the victim, as his tone was a little hostile, but letting people think it was also Krynn's fault for being cold to him as well. The snake's Russian accent was not as thick as Moira's, and in fact even easier to understand than Krynn's.

Rajin gave a slight grin when Konstantin spoke. the ifrit turned and faced him. The two were almost similar in height, but Rajin forced to look up just a little bit. There was a defiant spark in the genie's eye. He also turned his wife around so she could face her father as well. The genie stared right into the man's eyes. They were like viper eyes. Slitted and sharp. Rajin already didn't like this guy. He was a viperade type lamia, where as his daughter was a boidae type lamia, the kind Rajin prefered. The ifrit was a about to speak, but the elevator cut him off with a soft ring. They had reached their destination at last. As the doors opened up, Rajin's father stood on the other side. "Now this is a sight to see." He said. the man was dress very informally, wearing a bright orangish-red tropical shirt that was unbuttoned, showing off the aging ifrit's still well toned physique and long tan pants with sandals. "Glad you could all make it."

Krynn was going to protest further hostile language when she saw her husband about to speak. Just leave it alone. Her father loved her in his own way, she reminded herself. It was just hard for him to show it. The boa turned to face Rajin's father as the doors opened. She was just as sharp as her father. Just as poisonous. She glanced to Rajin before looking back to his father. "We rushed," It wasn't a joke and she wasn't smiling. Everything was too rushed. Krynn could feel the world spin.
Moira ushered everyone out of the elevator and smiled happily to everyone. "I have been dying to meet you and your wife!" She exclaimed, staying back for only a moment before she and Konstantin stepped to Krynn's side. Kor went to Rajin's. Kor was looking a bit apologetic still, and Konstantin was still grinning.

Rajin stepped out of the elevator along with everyone else inside. The penthouse was absolutely gorgeous by the middle-class standards and godly by low-class standards. the ifrit and lamia were only just out of the elevator looking at the suite which itself was a small building itself. Tall glass windows that turned into doors which lead to beautiful living room with two tone black and white decor. A fireplace was burning right in the middle of the living room. Everything was quite spacious. It was like they were back in the hotel lobby again. There were even four separate bedroom for the two families to sleep in.
"We have been dying to meet the both of you as well. I hope my son hasn't caused you too much trouble." Mr. Uusash spoke with a calm manner and deep voice. There was a faint Indian accent to it, but it was more or less hidden. Rajin's father smiled and looked at both Krynn and Moira who were both very pleasing to his eyes. Two beautiful women in presence, yet his son had stolen away one of them and the lamia with sharp steely eye had taken the other. "Raji! Krynn! Everyone welcome!" Came another voice. Off in the distance was Rajin mother, Zetaya, dressed in a red designer fashion dress made for the summer. Of course it from her own company. "It's so good to finally meet with all of you. You must be famished. Brunch is ready. Come!" The female genie was bubbly and overflowing with joy. Her son was getting married to the daughter of a rich and powerful family. She couldn't ask for more.

To Krynn, the penthouse was hell. This was where she would be for a week. This was her divine punishment for being a playful, sexual deviant with Rajin. This was her punishment from her family for being a boa. She stayed closer to her husband now, despite thinking of how much she wanted to turn and leave. Get back on the jet. She watched Rajin's father stare at Moira and herself, and her eyes narrowed further. She was thankful for the woman that spoke, and she looked to Rajin before she went ahead. Anything to get at least a small distance away from Konstantin.

Rajin followed behind with everyone else. The ifrit's parents were in front chatting incessantly with Krynn's parents. The two families must have been talking about wedding ceremony plans, and business deals. Rajin was more preoccupied with his lover. He held her close to his side, wishing they could just go to their room and be secluded for awhile. But instead, they had to gather around a dinner table and eat first. Even if the genie was a bit hungry he still wanted to be alone with Krynn.
The two then gathered around the dining room table. The was filled with all kinds of delicious foods. Freshly baked bread and juicy fruits. Succulent and steaming meats ready to be eaten. This was the last thing the couple had to do before they could just enjoy some time alone together.

Krynn took her place next to Rajin and Kor. She was so thankful for her brother's quick thinking in situations like this. She help her husband's hand beneath the table, and if she hadn't have been cold-blooded, the fingers themselves might have been icy. She didn't speak and her appetite had already diminished, despite not eating since lunch the day before. The boa looked to Rajin's mother, distinctly aware that her color was gone and that she looked less than perfect in front of her. She had not done her hair again, and it was still in a messy, loose braid in the form of a crown on her head. She didn't have on make-up.. aside from the kind which hid her markings. She awaited the woman's voice.

As the table began to eat and the food around them diminished, the parents found themselves continuing to talk to each other. Sayid was talking to konstantin about their children while Zetaya was chatting with Moira about their beauty secrets and plans for the ceremony. the female ifrit then turned her attention to Krynn. "Are you alright, my dear?" She said obviously sounding concerned through slight accent like Rajin's father. "You look rather pale. And you haven't eaten anything since sitting down? Do you need to use the bathroom and freshen up?"

Krynn blinked when the woman spoke, but her concern was refreshing. No one bothered to ask besides Rajin's mother. The snake gave a small shake of her head. Her fingers tightened around her husband's and she spoke with less softness than she would have if the woman had asked her this alone, "I am anxious about the wedding and I am not very hungry because of it. In fact," She glanced to Rajin, "I'm very tired," She looked back to Zetaya, "And I would like to retire to my room." She wasn't intentionally rude, but she could imagine her mother's twitching fingers, eager to touch a mark to shut Krynn up.

At first, Zetaya gave a small frown. She was already worried about her daughter-in-law. though, her compassion was stemming from other motives. After seeing Krynn glance at her son, Zetaya's frown turned to a small smile. the lamia was already so close to the genie, it made her heart squeal. "Of course dear. Take Raji with you if it makes you feel more comfortable. Have Rajin take some food too." The genie's mother then waved the two away, letting leave.

The snake slowly stood, nodding to her parents. She gave Zetaya a small smile. "Thank you," She said, a bit more softly than before. She looked to Rajin before turning slowly and walking to their room. Krynn waited once out of eyesight from them, just in case Rajin hadn't immediately followed after her. She had her arms crossed, but her tough shell was already falling. The concern Zetaya showed her was so unlike what Krynn was used to.

Rajin stood up, as Krynn did. He took a whole bowl of fruit with him. His father eyed him suspiciously. "Just be sure to come back out within an hour." Zetaya then stomped on Sayid foot, causing him hold back a look of pain. "Hour and a half." The gray haired ifrit's wife then stomped harder on his open foot. "Two hours." This time, Zetaya took drastic measures and stealthily hit the man in his crotch. "Take your time." Sayid wheezed as he formed a painful smile. Rajin then left with Krynn to their room. Once they entered their room, Rajin locked the door behind him, and breathed a heavy sigh.

There was a moment where Krynn was very still and just stared at her lover. In the next, the snake slowly stepped to him and even more slowly, she wrapped her arms around him. His embrace was a comfort that she could hardly go without at this point. She wanted him close and with her and being alone with him was so soothing. Krynn spoke softly, "I'm sorry for.. doing this to us," Her voice cracked as she spoke. It wasn't like the proud, haughty girl to apologize. She held him slightly tighter, burying her face in his chest. "I'm sorry for.. ta-aking the necklace," It was apparent she was crying at this point.
