Aftermath
Luckily for him, most people were too out of it or injured to notice. And anyway, Ariel did not want Amadeus going into a frenzy just because he wanted to help more. Then, they would really have a disaster on their hands and he hated the idea of destroying Joseph's pretty theater. Ariel was decently certain he would have been the only one capable of stopping his lover at the moment if it came down to it.
So he settled them in the box, away from prying eyes, and fed the Sheriff while keeping a weather ear out for anyone who might intrude on the moment. He was too annoyed, nerves too raw to take any pleasure in the act, the natural effects of the Kiss being pushed to the side. His fingers slid through dark hair as his lover held on and kissed his skin. "Remind me to kick your ass in a couple of days," he muttered, jaw tense but fear still in his eyes.
