Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lin couldn't help but have an adoring smile on her face as she looked/stared at Dymetri.

"Who says that you cannot be sexy and classy at the same time?"

She thought about it and then shrugged. She blushed slightly and looked down at the table. "Not that I would know. I am not exactly what you would call experienced in that area, but I know what I find sexy."

She looked back at him, still smiling. "And I still view you as a professor. You have the intelligence and experience of one, two of the most important things that make a professor."

She tilted her head to the side in confusion at Dymetri's last statement. "I am confused as to what you said about another professor having his eye on me and about being able to leave school frequently. I thought it was common for students to leave Mystic Fountain if they had the means and ability to. As far as another professor having his eye on me, I can guarantee you that is not true."

She laughed softly at even the idea of another professor liking her. Sure, she had somewhat liked Professor Akakios, but that was a fleeting crush, nothing serious, and he never would have returned her attraction.

((Hmm, I want some kind of conflict to happen to Lin and Dymetri for some reason lol))

{{Oooh! Neon! Good idea, Lizz! biggrin Though technically, I brought her up first a few pages ago. wink lol!}}

Dymetri smiled. Marcos put out his hand in front of him, shaking Lin's father's hand. "It's been a complete pleasure to spend my weekend here, sir," he said, Dymetri giving a bright smile with Marcos's pleased eyes.

"I'm almost positive I'm going to come back, thank you for your complete and total hospitality."

He turned to Lin's mother in the middle of his last sentence, his smile still shining as bright as ever. His eyes twinkled with delight. The last couple days were marvelous and relaxing. With Lin by his side most of the time, he had a grand ol' time with a family he hadn't had the fortune of growing up with.

He leaned in to give her mother a big hug, partially Marcos's doing, and pulled back to hold Lin's hand. "We are definitely going to sculpt again, I loved that serene music you played too! I'll ask Lin to give me the name of it when we get back so I could download it and put it into my iPod."

Dymetri smiled. Marcos almost laughed. Dymetri looked at Lin and Marcos decided to take some time off. "After you, my darling."

Lin smiled brightly and hugged her mother and father tightly. She said she would see them again very soon and that she hoped to see her brothers next time.

She then took Dymetri's hand, opened a water portal, and went back to his room, where they had left in the first place.

When the portal disappeared behind them, she turned around and wrapped her arms around Dymetri's waist. She then lifted one of her hands and played with the pendant around his neck.

"And now you have your own pendant, Dymetri. I can't believe this is actually happening."

She smiled, but then the smile began to slowly fade as she thought about something. After a few moments, she spoke softly.

"Dymetri... Did you really enjoy your time at my home? And I mean you, not Marcos."

She had immensely enjoyed her time with her family and Dymetri, but she had never seen him so... happy before. She hoped with every fiber of her being that it was real and that he wasn't just trying to impress her parents and it wasn't Marcos who was influencing Dymetri. If it had truly been Dymetri and he had really been that happy, then she knew that in the future, they would be blissfully happy and satisfied, together.

She wanted to know how he was feeling, though. That was important to her. What made him happy? Had he really been happy this weekend? It wasn't just about what made her happy. She wanted to make him happy as well.

She looked up at Dymetri, still lightly grasping his pendant. "Did you really have fun, Dymetri?"

{{Right, but she knows that Marcos' soul is still in there, and she's never seen Dymetri act the way he did this weekend, not that it's a bad thing at all. But they were always so private, so she didn't get a chance to see him interact with other people that often. So she doesn't know if this is his true personality or if it's more Marcos'.}}

Lin's face broke out into a huge smile when she heard what Dymetri said and when he pulled her against him, wrapping his arms around her.

"Oh that is wonderful to hear. I had an absolutely lovely time... although my parents did not have to give away my full name."

She giggled softly and kissed his jaw lightly.

Lin laughed and wrapped her arms loosely around his neck. "I want you to call me whatever you wish. If you had your own name for me, I think it would be... well, sweet."

She blushed slightly and looked over at Dymetri's desk, hoping to hide it.

"What is your first class? Since it is Monday now, my first class is Advanced Western Herbs."
