"Hmm... Sometimes too much.." She pursed her lips. "I don't know if I should be at ease or worry for my little sister..." She laughed. "It's horrible what happened... Everything was going so well..." She frowned, "I really hope we find them, but..." Her eyes started to water.
"I can't help but wonder if we should be too upset... I know who my family is, what they have done and what they're capable of doing..."
Tears started falling from her eyes. "Can you really want to avenge the murder of a murderer...?" She asked, crying. She shook her head, wiping her eyes.

Eric listened to Elysium, he was all ears until she began to cry. He hated seeing women cry, he felt as though they deserved much more than shedding tears.
He walked over to Elysium, and hugged her, showing that he cared. He felt as though he was pushing the envelope by hugging her although they'd just met, but being the man he was he couldn't just sit there and let her cry.
"Don't cry, you're too beautiful to cry." He definitely said that, and meant it. "I meant what I said about finding your relatives, no need to avenge anyone, I don't want to be the one to arrest you because you decided to do something on your own."

Elysium rested her head on his chest. She closed her eyes, wiping her face. She pulled back. "...Thankyou." She quietly said. She picked up the mug on the counter, and finished her tea. "That's the problem with my family..." She said to Eric. "We usually take care of business within." She said. This was new for her. She was used to only dealing with her grandmother, father, and Aunt Lillian. When her mother was alive, she would handle stuff with her aswell.
She crossed her arms. "I understand what they're going through, though... My mother was murdered." She said. "And my father handled it..." She pushed her blonde hair behind her ears. "He wishes I would let my natural hair grow back out but..." She looked in the mirror. "I like the blonde..."

Eric sat back and listened to Elysium explain her backstory, he was intrigued yet he also felt sorry for her all around her was death and murder, no wonder why she snapped at him earlier. It's hard to be positive when all you have around are negative aspects.
The woman went on to talk about how her father wished she grew out her natural hair color, making him more curious as to what was under the blonde locks, although blonde suited her just fine.
"I like the blonde too, it suits you very well. Although.." He got up and whipped his hair in the wind playfully, "I think blonde would go well with my brown hair.. haha." He flashed a quick, toothy grin trying to lighten the mood of this dark atmosphere.

She turned to look at him, laughing a little. "I think the brown hair suits you well..." She set, smiling. She looked around, "Ummm..." She walked him to a particular photo on the wall. "This was taken about a year into college.... That's my natural hair color. Daddy said he prefers it because I look more like my mother..." She shook her head." She shrugged. The doorbell rang, and she went to answer it. The pizza man handed her her food, and she handed him the cash. "Keep the change..." She said, closing the door. She brought pizza in the living area, and sat it on the coffee table. "I guess nobody else was hungry..." She muttered, opening the box. She picked up a slice, and took a bite. "You're welcome to have some." She said between bites.

Elysium brought him over to a photo of her younger self back in her first year of college, Eric remembers his first year of college very vividly, too many wild parties and drinks. That's what happens when you give him a little too much freedom.
Looking at the photo, Eric was astonished by her beauty,she looked so innocent and pure. Soon, the doorbell rang and Elysium came back with pizza in her hand, he would've grabbed it for her being the gentleman he was.
She grabbed a slice of pizza, and offered some to him. Shrugging, he figured why not and sat down next to her opening the pizza box..
"So, tell me more about yourself." He said, breaking the ice between them..

She smiled, "Well... I grew up with my father for the most part. My mother died when I was seven. I graduated high school three years early." She thought about her little life story. "I went to college in London, studying for four years majoring in business and weapons design." She crossed her arms, sitting back. "After that, my grandmother gave me the project of the Safehouse here in Tokyo. That's why I'm here." She said. She picked up a slice, "What about you, pretty boy..." She smirked.
She took a bite, and crossed her legs, ready to listen.

Eric took a quick bite of his pizza, before wiping his hands with a napkin. He was intrigued by the fact that she even wanted to know more about him, so much that it caught him off guard.
Of course not negatively.
"Well.." He started, "I was born in Sweden to a family of entrepreneurs my parents owned their own industrial company and I was expected to inherit it, but unfortunately when I was 16, my parents corporation was overthrown and we were forced to live homeless for a while."
He paused. Thinking about his past sometimes took a toll on him. "Um.. it wasn't until I was 18 where I decided to move here after my father died and I met my older half brother. He encouraged me to join the Tekken Force, he's not alive anymore, as far as I know.."

"Oh..." She sat up. "I'm sorry to hear about your brother..." She said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "It's hard, having family die..." She said, quietly. She smiled. "My grandmother would tell us to stop worrying..." She laughed. "Keep forward with business... She's very dedicated to her work." She tilted her head. "That's why it was so odd that she never showed at the Safehouse opening... She was so excited to see that dream fulfilled." She smirked. "Even if it was just for publicity..."
She finished off her pizza, and wiped her hands and mouth.
"To be honest, I never knew my Aunt Anna... But I know daddy is worried sick about her." She looked down.

"Hehe..I think your grandmother is right.." Eric commented, flashing a small grin at Elysium
Taking the last bite out of his pizza, Eric wiped his hands and grabbed his plate. He offered to take Elysium's since she was finished with her pizza as well.
He placed the plates in the sink in the kitchen before returning to the living room. When he returned, he noticed the comment Elysium made about her father being worried about her aunt.
"He has every right to be, that's his sister. I would be too in his shoes." He said to her, looking into her eyes.

He gazed into her eyes, and she looked into his. She smiled a little, looking away. She felt a spark that she hadn't in a long time. "Well... He's going to worry regardless. That's who he is." She laughed, looking back at him. She tilted her head, wondering what to say. "..." She placed her hand on his. "Thankyou..." She said. She smiled a little, leaning forward. She kissed his cheek, "I really appreciate it. I apologize for my behavior from before...."
She exhaled. "It's hard... Being in this world."
She noticed her hand still on his, and wondered why she didn't pull it back. All she knew was that she didn't want to.

Eric couldn't help but to smile when Elysium smiled, something about her smile made him want to see it more. Just when he was about to get up from the chair, Elysium placed her hand on his and thanked him.
Shaking his head, he didn't need for her to thank him. This was something that he loved doing, it gave him purpose for living. He smiled at her laughing a little.
"No need to thank me my love. I just enjoy doing my job. It gives me joy helping people out, and helping people like you."
Afterwards, she kissed his cheek and Eric blushed almost immediately, he didn't expect it but it was definitely welcomed. The small kiss on the cheek caused him to smile even more, although he tried to contain it.
Elysium apologized for her actions earlier and Eric fanned them down, "No worries. I understand your reasoning. No harm done."
He returned the favor and placed a small kiss to her forehead. Eric listened to her words about it being hard living in this world, something that Eric understood completely.
Her hand remained over his, something that Eric didn't mind at all. In fact, he accepted it enough to send a small caress of her hand with his thumb.

Elysium smiled when he kissed her forehead. She looked into his eyes. She leaned forward, placing a kiss on his lips. It was like she was being forced to against her will. She placed her hands on either side of his head, feeling his short hair in her fingers. Her body leaned into his. She wasn't sure what she was doing, or why. Maybe she needed the comfort deep down. Maybe she did like him. Her lips on his was proof of that.
She pulled back, finally gaining composure. "I-I'm so sorry..." She stood up, smoothing out her night gown, and covering herself.
"That was completely inappropriate..." She said, facing away from him.

When Elysium kissed him, Eric was taken back by it, catching him off guard. When she got up from the couch, Eric followed her and placed his hands on her shoulders to turn her around to face him.
He gently placed a hand under her chin to lift it, only to place his lips upon hers again. Only this time, he deepened the embrace letting his hand fall and gently snake around her waist to pull her into him.
Was this a little early? Yeah but Eric could care less. There's such thing as love at first sight. He gently pulled away and smiled at her, still holding her in his grip.
"Don't feel embarrassed, if it makes you feel any better I've wanted to do that since I saw you earlier."

Eric came to Elysium, turning her to face him. He kissed her again, pulling her close. She closed her eyes, eventually giving in and wrapping her arms around him. When he said he wanted to do that since he saw her, she smiled a little.
"What the fuck!?"
Elysium's eyes darted towards the hall where her father stood, wearing nothing but pajama pants. "Daddy..." He charged at Eric, gripping his throat, and slamming him against the wall. "WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" He roared at the man. His grip around Eric's neck tightened, "You come here into my mother's house, claiming you want to find her and my sister, and instead you're groping my DAUGHTER!?"
Chris slammed him against the wall again. "Daddy, stop!" She forced her way inbetween her father and Chris. "Stop it!" She yelled out.
Chris pulled Elysium away from him. "I knew this was a bad idea..." Chris grit his teeth, "Get out." He told Eric.
"No!" She took his arm, looking at her father. "He didn't take advantage of me, I kissed him first..." She admitted.
Christopher shook his head, "That doesn't matter. Any sane man wouldn't keep doing it, unless they wanted something out of it!" Soon, Lillian came in, rubbing her eyes. Her black hair was messy, and she was wearing a t shirt and shorts. "What's going on...?" She asked. She looked at Elysium.
"Aunt Lilli, tell him he's over reacting...!" Elysium said to her. "Elysium, Lillian just walked in, don't distract from the real problem!"
