Lucio frowned, her eye's flicked over Cypher's face in a concerned way.
She finally shrugged defeatedly.
"If something's wrong maybe talking about it will help. But I can't force you. I'm here if you need to talk."
She sat on the edge of the roof and stared at the crowds below.

Cypher's head slowly turned back to take in the sickly yellow glow of the city.
"It's not exactly a topic that is open for discussion." He replied, a frown still on his face as another scene flashed past him.

Lucio sighed and turned to face Cypher, though remained seated.
"Don't have to talk if you don't want to. But sometimes mental anguish manifests it's self in a physical way...unexpected pain for example. It's good to get things off your chest sometimes."
*Been a long time since I played psychiatrist.* she thinks.

The young man couldn't help but crack a thin smirk at the comment.
"Such great loss is not something that should be spoken of openly." He responded monotonously, as if he were reading the comment from out of a text book.
"I will stand such physical torture, as long as the memories that cause such pain are kept safe from those who should not know of them."

Lucio raises an eyebrow.
*Fair enough.* she turns and dangles her legs over the side of the building.
"Up to you Cypher, but you are not the only one who has suffered a great loss." memories come to her unbidden, memories of her long dead parents, her first and second husbands and a child...
"Mary..." she whispers to herself. A single tear rolls down her cheek.

"I never said that I was." He answered politely whilst he listened intently to the female voice that echoed in his head, the distant memory that he could remember from when he was a small child.
*Silent black, the dawn, and time tell its tale
Darkened blood, it flows, the forest receives
Look within the dark as deep as you dare
There inside you find destruction you seek...*
The soft, near angelic voice harmoniously sang out loud, leaving the former cover that had been recited by the halfling in the dust of such perfection.

Lucio stood up, stearing her thoughts from the child.
"Well... c'ya arround Cypher"
With that she stepped off the roof top, landing perfectly in the alley below.

Lucio leeps up onto the rooftops and once more crouches at the edge watching the crowds below.

The dull cracking of bones reached Cypher's ears as he walked along to the edge of the office block roof, each of his fingers laced together and pushed outwards to sound with a couple more cracks. The thief lowered his hands to his sides as he stood at the very edge of the tower and looked over the rooftops, the wild wind dragging his coat across the backs of his knees as he looked on. This was just a simple game to him.
A thin smile wound its way onto the Demon's pale face.

Lucio feels her coat billow arrond her. She removes it and places it on the roof top next to her. She stands, allowing the wind to catch her loose shirt.
*He can't still be there can he?*
She frowns down on the crowds for a few moments the raises her head to the stars and throws her arms out wide. The white linin ripples over her arms and torso.

The young man let out a unique chuckle of anticipation as he looked down at the ruckus on the streets below.
"Perfect." He smiled calmly, like a child who had just gotten a new toy. The stage was set, and from his calculations his route was perfectly safe.
He was going to enjoy this.

Cypher took a few step back from the edge of the tall building until he stood in the center of the roof, and with a dashing start the agile thief lept from the stone structure, giving a running landing on the lower roof beside it, only to continue sprinting with another majestic leap into the air.
He loved this, he could do it all day. The calming wind would rush past his face and sweep his soft hair from out of his face as he glided through the night sky, it was such a relaxing feeling.
The halfling continued his rather eccentric training course, hopping from building to building with feline dexterity.

Cypher landed on the final building of his course with a silent crouch, and stood up with a smile.
"Ah..." He sighed, stretching his arms up to tense the muscles there.
The thief dropped the limbs back down whilst he walked over to the edge of the apartment block, he had had enough fun for one night.
The halfling murmured softly to himself, swinging his arms back before slamming his palms together. He closed his eyes to focus further whilst he threw his arms back out in wait. Only seconds after the call the two black wings burst from the back of the Demon, the twin appendages stretched just as their master did a few minutes earlier.
Cypher spread the princely midnight wings, and with one thundering flap he took off into the air.

Lucio felt herself leaning backwards and allowed herself to fall. A split second before she hit the rooftop she spun and braced her fall with her hands.
She got up and put her coat over her shoulders. She fliched as she realised her palms were stinging. Looking at them she saw tiny shards of glass sticking into her hands. She sat down and began to remove them, though it was a slow process due to the fact that the shards were tiny and they were embeded in both palms.
After half an hour of digging out the glass Lucio stood up and stepped off the side of the building, dropping into the empty street below.
