  "...!" Reiner blinked several times in response to her word and the... very hot look on her face, and his face began to slooowly change in color. It was like it took his brain several moments to process that he was getting excited, and from something so small. "A-ahaha, y-yes..." He lowered his head a bit, putting his hands in his pockets and subtly shifting his pants forward a bit, as if trying to hide... something. It was subtle enough that no one would notice, though... except Aria, since she was already looking at him and probably knew what was happening when he reacted that way. Goodness, maybe Reiner wasn't as innocent as he seemed."Yeah, yeah. I don't know why I'd assume that." It seemed even somewhat suspicious activity could be easily explained away with Aria, since it was so completely unbelievable that she would even be friends with Reiner, much less more than that.
As Lily strode up to him though, and her taunting words along with her glare and her hands on her hips, Javik seemed to... fall silent. He swallowed hard. Were her intimidation attempts... actually working on him? Or perhaps did he feel some attraction towards such a short, slender girl trying to push him around and taking that pose? Who knew, but his silence certainly made it seem like she won their little battle of words, which he realized all too late. "Tha- er, that's- I mean, that- erm, wh-what did you- I mean, uh, y... you're an idiot..." And his desperate attempt to save face just ended up making him look so much worse. Oh yes, Lily had certainly won this round. Who knew the short, annoying girl would be able to verbally dominate the strong, brooding guy so easily?
As if his verbal defeat wasn't bad enough, he would soon be put flat on his back, and a moment later he would let out a grunt as he felt the ultimate humiliation--LILY of all people, her foot planted on his chest. This... couldn't be happening... She pointed and laughed at him while stepping on him. Oh god. Javik had literally never felt more humiliated in his life. Except maybe the time Tina did the same thing, but... this might honestly be worse. "Th... that's not what I meant..." He let out, his tough guy voice practically destroyed by his shame and humiliation. Seeing her standing over him, a foot planted on his chest like this... the short and slender girl looked much larger and more intimidating from this angle. "...I-I'm not going to take this!" Yes, there was one way to fix this. He had to turn the tables! He grabbed her by the ankle, lifting her foot off his chest, and shot up to his feet, ready to humiliate her now! ...Except that isn't what happened. After lifting her foot, he TRIED to stand back up, but it apparently didn't register to him that floor was still slick. And so, in his haste to try to stand up, all that happened was that he slipped once again, and with a rather embarrassing screech, he found himself once again on his back. And letting go of her foot in his fall, it would find its way right back down onto his chest, where it had been above. Only harsher this time, most likely, given she needed to rebalance herself. "Gah!!" ...Somehow, the second time it happened was even more mortifying. Well, he wasn't going to turn the tables. She could keep him here forever if she wanted to. "...I submit. Please have mercy, darling." Yeah, wasn't much else he could do except just give in at this point. And apparently he figured he might at least find some humor in the situation by playing along with the "fell for you" bit with his own pet name, like she had done. He certainly did feel like the stupid one of these two at this point..."And you're too hard. That's why we make such great partners." Reiner gave her a soft smile. "If it happens, we'll deal with it then. I'm sure we can handle whatever comes together." After this little display, though the man may want revenge, he would be a fool to actually seek it out.
After Reiner had dealt with the man, giving him a double-dose of fear, one from each of them, he turned to face her. "We make such a great team." He remarked proudly, though he blinked in surprise as he looked at her, his eyes lowering. Was her tail wagging...? He blinked a few more times, before flashing her a smile. She was so cute. Even more so when she blushed like that. "What, am I not supposed to comment on what's plainly in front of me? Frankly, there's no person in any world cuter than you. Better just accept it, because I told you to." Ooh, so pushy. Reiner in romance could be quite different from Reiner regularly depending on what was being discussed, or... done. "Well, I think he's hurt enough for now. Hopefully he doesn't seek us out for revenge. For his sake." He wasn't sure he could keep Aria restrained from what she wanted to do if he tried it again. "Oh, you're so cute..." He leaned it again, giving her a kiss on the cheek now. She was always so tough, so when she showed concern for him, it was honestly the cutest thing in the world. "Right, right, I'll stop. Just hard to resist sometimes." He knew she couldn't be terribly comfortable with him just kissing her so freely like that. "Oh, Aria seeking an exorcist? Wouldn't it burn your skin to be around someone so holy?" He asked playfully with a grin. Ironic, since Reiner was the son of a holy woman, and was quite holy himself, being trained in healing staves and whatnot. They were like an angel and a devil dating. It was kinda hilarious. "Er, wait, really?" He blinked as she took his hand and began to pull him along without waiting for confirmation. Ah, she was so cute... "Haha... h-have I ever mentioned how alluring I find your pushiness to be?" She just did whatever she wanted to, and he loved that. Though he was much the same in that regard... they were both so very pushy. Squeezing her hand lightly, he picked up the pace a bit, to walk alongside her in stride. As much as he liked the idea of feeling like he was being dragged around by her, they so rarely got opportunities to just walk hand-in-hand like this, like an actual couple. It was nice... they were so anonymous in this time. "I'm certain Javik and Lily are having fun on their own anyway." Well, one of them certainly was. "Aah, holding hands like this... so scandalous! I'm not used to such PDA. It's rather exciting." Yes, that sure was just so lewd, how could they even handle doing that?! Really, Reiner wasn't THAT innocent that he considered this to be improper on its own. It was more so that they so rarely did this in their own time that he wasn't used to it, since they kept their relationship a secret. It was a rather new experience to be so open about it, even if it might not last very long.(( OOC: ))

    Aria's head tilted slightly, but soon that curiosity turned into a twisted little smirk. It wasn't that hard to figure out what he was trying to do here! She wanted to tease him into helplessness, so..very..bad! But that tiny fragment of a kindness she had for him also held a good bit of respect, she couldn't bring herself to make him fall into a temptation he would never of been comfortable with.
"Gosh,you sure sound like a big dork. Do you always studder that much when you're nervous with girls? Heh heh..You have a mouth for everything, but get a little flustered? You're done! Hahaha! " She was really having way to much torturing him, as if his life wasn't terrible enough with all those sisters of his, it was like he had a whole other sister that wasn't related to him at all! Then came his attempt to regain his crushed pride. "Hey!!" She wobbled a bit,as her balance was thrown off when he grabbed her ankle, it only was really lifted up a bit before it came right back down onto his chest. "Oh, you wanted to peek under my skirt again, didn't you!" She grinned, she knew that's not what he was trying to do, but it was so gosh darn fun to embarrass him, she couldn't stop herself! "Ehehehehe...You suck so bad at this. Did you know that, hoooney? " Giving him one last nudge with her foot still pressed down into his chest, Lily stepped off, and stepped away before she would do away with the icy magic on the floor of the mansion. "Well, I think they ditched us. I guess that means we get to do whatever we want. You gonna lay there, or come with?"
"I doubt most people do so well together with such differences.." They just were one of a kind, a special, cute little mysterious couple! "You can sit back, I would love to handle all our enemies myself. I would make sure they don't have a chance to come back. " Because...he..was..so soft! It seemed she liked that softness though, otherwise, would she really be dating him? His next comment again got a interesting happy sway of her tail, and another round of redness to her cheeks. "..You're even cuter when your pushy.." She said quietly, just enough for him to hear. Her face only reddening more!
She blinked her crimson eyes as he kissed her again, this time on the cheek. "..I don't know, I feel like I would have been burnt already being so close to you, holy prince.." She said in a rare teasing voice. "Want to see what happens? " She would then bring the surprises, as she pulled him closer to her suddenly, kissing him on the lips! It was a brief, cute kiss to the lips, and she certainly didn't melt away. "..Not burning away yet.." She said with a playful smirk.
With the cute flirting coming to an end, Aria would start on pulling him along with her, which she quickly picked up the pace to, the added comfort of holding hands was....really nice, it really began to make her wonder...was it worth keeping this secret anymore? "..I couldn't think of doing this with anyone else...with you, it's rather nice..."

"Well, that just proves we're perfect together!" Did it? Probably not. But in Reiner's mind, nothing was more true! "Sorry, no can-do. We're in this together, that means we do things together. If you suggest something like that again, I'll have to punish you." How in the world would Reiner discipline Aria exactly? Who knew, but he certainly said it as he said everything: with conviction. He believed himself at least. And through it all he kept that signature steady smile on his features. As her tail began to sway again, he felt some kind of excitement stirring in him once again. He must have had some kind of tail fetish. ...In actuality though, it was more like he had an Aria fetish. Anytime that tail moved to show her happiness, Reiner could barely contain himself. It was so cute. ...Among other things. "Mm, good!" His smile turned to a grin. "I quite enjoy pushing you around myself. And I enjoy seeing you happy even more. So if both happen at once, that's perfect!" Reiner was quite the character, wasn't he. One might expect him to be meek in a relationship, especially with an angry girl like Aria, but he seemed to be anything except that.
"Hmmm?" It was rare to hear her take that tone of voice, and he certainly wasn't anticipating what she was going to do next. It was rare for her to initiate the affection, but he certainly loved it, returning it gladly for the moment it lasted. He blinked several times after it ended, as if he had to process what had just happened. "......" He let out a sharp exhale. Everything was really piling up here... the excitement from inside the mansion before, the extreme excitement from her tail swaying, and now not only did she kiss him, but she showed him that hot smirk? What, did she really expect him to do nothing? "I am." He said, his normally kind tone replaced by a rather sharp one, as he used both of his hands, grabbing her by the front of her jacket and pulling her to the side, a bit out of view and shoving her against a wall. Releasing her jacket now, he grabbed her by her tie, pulling her toward him rather roughly into another kiss, this one a bit less brief and a bit less cute. His hands found their way to her wrists, pinning them against the wall as he pressed his body against hers further. He kissed her in such a way so she would be forced to lean her head back a bit, using his slight height advantage to make her feel even further like she had no control here.
After several moments like this, he pulled his lips away a bit. "Are you burning now...?" His face was a bit red, which was rather rare for him, but... so was this situation. At last, though, he would step backwards, taking a deep breath. "I probably should've asked first, but... you keep making me feel these things, it's only fair I return the favor." He had just made himself feel it even more though, so maybe it was a bit of a backfire. This faux revenge wasn't really in his mind at first anyway, he just used it as an excuse. He just... had difficulty controlling his impulses sometimes. What a holy prince.
Had they calmed down and resumed as they had been, Reiner would respond simply to her last words. "I wouldn't do this with anyone else. I never even considered romance prior to meeting you, and now I can't imagine life without it. Without you, specifically. I have no interest in anyone else." He had never really felt attraction towards anyone else, so focused on other things all the time. Aria was the spark that made him began to feel this, and these urges. And if that last moment was any indication, she had to pay for that.(( OOC: ))

Aria gave him a look, as if he had just said the most ridiculous thing in the world! Yet hidden behind that toughness was this side of her completely weak to Reiner's pushiness. Why did it always excite her so much? "Oh..? And what do you think you, my weak prince, can do to stop me? " She just had to challenge him, didn't she. She was so enjoying this!
Finally, at what he said next, Aria crossed her arms, turning away to hide her blushing face. "You are so strange.." She said to him, teasing him lightly. She was hardly good with mushy, sweet talk, that much he knew! Her strange was equivalent to adorably strange for Reiner.
Then came her attempt to sweep him off his feet with her own kiss, it wasn't exactly something she did often, but as each day went by, their relationship only seemed to grow stronger each day. She was way past feeling comfortable around him, she felt at this point, she could do just about anything without worry. He would never get mad at her, and she would only ever be playful with him, so there wasn't much to get angry at! So, she hardly expected his retaliation that came so suddenly, and boy did it ever get her heart started! Among other things. The oh-so-tough Aria let out a sudden, tiny gasp as she found herself shoved against the wall, and soon pulled toward him and into another, more pleasantly enjoyable kiss. The excitement in her body was really meeting it's mark, and only Reiner was ever able to spark that side of her. He would feel her body become less tense, and seem to melt into the moment of there quite passionate shared kiss. Everything he did, from pressing his body against hers, and pinning her wrists against the wall while kissing her? It was just...so.. strangely romantic! It would take a lot to resist any further urges she clearly had, very..hard. Finally, as the kiss parted after those most enjoyable moments, Aria's crimson red eyes seemed a little heavier, as if she were still lost in her own little dream land. Reiner dreamland. "Somethings..definitely burning." What ever could that mean! Yeah..for her to resist further temptation really was some kind of miracle. "..No..I....love your direct..pushy side. I love..everything about you.." It really was something, Aria with the ability to even say that word and mean it, it was a wonder if her father ever could say the big L word to her mother. She never heard it, though she also didn't spend a whole lot of time with them ether. And that was in her own time, now? Who knew what they were like in the past, or if they were even together yet.
As the fires finally dwendled down between the two lovebirds, Aria's still red-face didn't quite let up, but she did manage a small nod. "..I...I would certainly hope not! " Jealous much? Just the thought of him even using that phase bothered her. "...That's good...as far as i'm concerned....You're stuck with me, there's no getting away, you know! "

"Oh, are you interested?" Reiner's smile turned to a knowing slight grin. "I have a great many ideas in mind... but wouldn't it ne more fun to make you wonder? The idea of you suffering in anticipation is rather enjoyable to me." He certainly wasn't the same when he was with her, was he? One might think being with her had changed him, but not exactly. This side of him was just how he was in a relationship. As she turned away, she would feel his hand on her head, petting her gently. "And you are so very cute. We're perfect for each other!" Yes, strange and cute, a perfect pairing, truly. Everything she did was just so irresistible to him, and he loved seeing her blush, and cross her arms. She would feel his hand on her head tighten a bit, not enough to cause pain, but enough to turn her head to look at him, and his smile widened. "Ah, seeing you so nervous is my favorite thing." Maybe he could make her blush even more!
Then came their next, more passionate moment, and the noises she made in response to his actions just stirred that feeling in him further. ...Still... it couldn't go too far for now. He had enough sense to understand that. But seeing that look in her eyes after they parted... oh, it was so difficult to resist pushing further. He wanted to take a picture to capture that expression forever... "Clearly so, because you're very hot to me right now." The feeling seemed to be mutual... It was funny just HOW forward Reiner was with his feelings and thoughts, But that's how he was about everything. He just said what he believed, and he pretty much always had. "I think that's my line, Aria. I'm the one who loves everything about you!" These two seemed like such a bizarre couple on the surface, but it seemed like they really worked. Way more than most might assume. He leaned forward, brushing his cheek against hers, and whispering in her ear. "Once we actually do go further, I hope you'll show me this helpless expression again." He leaned in, kissing her on the ear rather sensually to follow his softly-spoken words.
And just like that, he leaned back again, his expression back to that normal, steady smile. How did Aria keep up with him? "So! Back to exploring, right? We have a whole date ahead of us!" He had no idea in the world what they were going to DO for it, but who cared. They were together, that's what mattered to him. He reached out, taking her by the hand, and starting to lead her away once more. "You don't need to hope, you already have my word!" It was funny because some girl HAD tried to seduce him once before, and Reiner just didn't comprehend what was happening at all. Not exactly for the same reason his father was dense with women--it was more so because he felt literally no attraction towards her. Or really anyone who wasn't Aria. "Hey, that's my line again! You're supposed to be stuck with me! I'm the annoying one after all, right?" Once upon a time she had felt that way, but it seemed things had certainly changed. But even if she hadn't, he knew others felt that way about him. But he didn't really care. Not to say it was the best feeling, but he didn't intend to change who he was. He was happy with who he was.
After only a short bit of walking, Reiner paused. "Hey, is that..." Over at a cafe, seated in outside tables..."Hey douchebag, this isn't what she ordered." Lifting up the plate covered in what Phoenix did not ask to eat, Aeon threw the table onto the ground, shattering it. He pointed at the poor waiter. "Get what she asked for and get another ******** plate while you're at it. And clean this s**t up." After an apology, the waiter hurried off to apparently fix the order. "Stupid humans." Aeon leaned against his arm, turning his attention back to the princess across from him. "I hope you're honored. I usually don't take people out like this." Yes, she was surely enjoying this time so much with the way he was acting! Then again, who knew. Maybe she would ENJOY it. "I guess I don't hate spending time with you. Or whatever. I dunno what people say when they're doing stuff like this." A date, whoa. It was like a foreign concept to Aeon. "I'm sure if kid me knew we'd be together like this he would've at least smiled for once in his life." Yeah, Aeon's lack of smiling wasn't something that happened thanks to becoming a Reaper. He was always a pretty angry-looking person, even as a kid. Back then it was more due to inheriting his mother's face and insecurity. Now, he was actually just angry all the time."...Well, he seems just as friendly in the past!" Reiner muttered to Aria.(( OOC: ))

Aria's red eyes fell into a little glare at her -evil- boyfriend, making a little hmph sound as she did! "It's okay to admit you know you can't! I won't think any less of you. " She said with a satisfied grin.
That grin wouldn't stay long, however, as she felt the little petting to her head. Had that been anyone else's hand, it might of been severed, or swiped away roughly! Though nether happened, of course. Reiner just had all the luxeries of never having to worry about angering her as anyone else would! How could she ever get mad at that face? It was hard jut pretending as though she were mad when they were around others! As if the petting wasn't embarassing enough, her eyes would come to meet his again, as she felt his hand turn her head to look at him. Yeah, that red face wasn't going to fade anytime soon. "Are you sure you're as holy as you claim? " He sure had his ways!
As the unfortunate end came to their rather heated, brief moment of romance, Aria had to bring herself to focus. She seemed to be having quite the time with that. All these new feeling for someone who always appeared to be so dead and cold on the outside, was a lot to take in. "..So are you..Mr.Holy Prince of Kindness.." She said teasingly.
Aria would have to really learn to step up her game, Reiner was doing a great job at flustering her madly, at some point, she would have to find some way to do the same to him! "...! " Oh gosh, flustered to mere silence once again.How was he so good at this?! "Reeeniieer.." She began to say, her voice slowly spoken and sounding rather pouty! "Y-You are making...this harder to resist..! " Those words, and kissing her ear so sensually, it almost seemed impossible to resist this tempter's teases! "
"...! How do you do it? " She may need to take notes on how to recover moods so quickly, it may of been a gift only Reiner possessed, though! "You're such a mystery. Good, or secretly more evil then I ? " As if she really was evil! Obviously another joke going back to her demonic looks.
"Um..About this..date, i'm not very good with this kind of thing. I mean...you probably know that..but still, I apologize in advance if I am not the perfect image of a date. " Not like typical humans, most likely! "Huh? No, you're cute, funny...and really hot when you get pushy. You aren't annoying to me at all. " So serious!
Finally her attention went to the cafe, and the pair sitting outside. Her eyes widened a bit in surprise, this was unexpected, she didn't really expect to run into her parents this soon! "Oh god. How embarrassing.." She said quietly. "You must be rubbing off on me, I almost feel sorry for that stupid waiter.." Her father was the image of kindness, the world must of loved his company more so in this time! Poor world. Still, there was that side of her that also found it to be a little amusing. "Should we continue on? I don't think its a good idea to hang around to long.."
One could almost see the little sweat drop over her head. "...Er...That could have been handled better. I won't die if it's the wrong order, it's fine! If this ever happens again, instead of throwing the plate down, I could offer it back to them and they SHOULD fix it, but if they don't, you can have fun throwing it down again. " The amusement in her voice was clear, she was in no way angry with him, it really was funny in some twisted way. His social skills were going to be some kind of work. "Hey! I'm not exactly just some random person." She hoped she was a lot more important to him then just some people he would probably of torn apart, or something. "Ohh..how nice to hear. It's like little angel harps to my ears.." She said right back at him, they were such a perfect, romantic pair! ..Not! "You better get used to it, I want to spend time with you everyday. We have a lot of lost time to make up for, anyway. " Great excuse! It was true, though. Phoenix looked at him curiously, what he said did seem to spark some interest. "Come to think of it...I don't think I've -ever- seen you smile. Hmm..What can I do to make Aeon smile, I wonder? I'm very curious now..I want to see. " Even if she had to make him smile using her hands, she would!
Her attention was so set on Aeon, she didn't even get the feeling of being watched, as they were. Just this one time, she didn't feel she needed to really keep her guard up.

"Mhmm..." Aria would feel a slight pinch at her backside as Reiner continued to give her that smile of his. "Keep telling yourself that, darling." That would only be a small taste of things to come, if she earned his divine punishment! That satisfied grin on her face was rather hot, though...
"I don't think I ever claimed to be holy..." He said with a slightly smug smile taking over his features. THAT was probably not true, given who his mother was. But still, he probably didn't claim it as much as she did. "Besides, I think your unholy ways are rubbing off on me! Now if only your unholy body would do the same." How a dense, "holy" virgin like him could say things like that without a blush was quite the enigma. Maybe that was another reason he always seemed to have the edge over her, he could say whatever he felt without feeling at all shameful!
And as she played right into his hands once again and reacted just how he hoped, he continued to be rather satisfied with himself, and grow even more excited when she reacted the way she did. He kinda wasn't doing himself any favors, making her do that when it would just make him want to do "unholy" acts even more... Especially that pouty voice she had. It was so cute for someone who always acted so tough. "I could say the same to you... making noises like that. It's like you're just begging for it...!" It took an egregious amount of self-control to contain his urges, but somehow they both managed. ...For now.
"Hmm? Do what?" Reiner tilted his head slightly, curiously. This was just how he always was, so he didn't even realize what he was doing. "Well, I shall leave that for you to decide! Though perhaps you'll know one day..." He gave her a wink. He hoped wondering exactly what that meant would be another thing to drive her mad. As she continued to speak, he blinked, before letting out a casual laughter. "Did you think I would be offended? Please relax. There's no need to take it so seriously! We could watch paint dry and I would enjoy it thoroughly, as long as I was doing it with you." He stepped towards her, taking her hands in his and meeting her red eyes with his green ones seriously. "Besides, regardless of how you view yourself, I think you're incredibly fun to be around. Even if we took out the fun teasing, there's no one I would rather spend time with. Don't ever feel as though that isn't true, and never feel the need to apologize to me. If you do it again, you know what will happen... Punishment!" He smiled, leaning in to give her a quick, reassuring kiss. Continuing to give her that smile, he let one of her hands go as they would continue on, and soon come upon the very happy scene..."Shut up, you're my date. No one is going to treat you like that. Especially not some human." Yes, because accidentally getting her order wrong was an insult of the highest order! Much worse than telling her to shut up, like he did. "Obviously. I wouldn't still be wasting my time with you if you were." He paused a moment, his eye raising for a second, as if thinking about what he said. "...It's not a waste of time, I mean. I don't man to say I AM wasting my time right now, more that it WOULD be a waste of... you know what? Forget it." Since when did he feel the need to explain himself? Phoenix certainly must have been some kind of important to him. "Every day is a lot to ask. I still have things I have to do before committing to something that serious..." Well, he didn't say no, which was probably rare for him. "Like slaughtering all my people like pigs." Well, it was almost progress. "You probably won't, either. This is how I typically look. The only real changes are when I look angrier. ...Which you probably know already." Yeah, when he was... in the act, he just tended to look more angry rather than blissful or happy or... whatever else people usually looked like. "There is a way you could make me feel good though. Get under the table, and-" He paused from that no-doubt riveting suggestion he was going to give, and his skull whirled around to look directly at a pair of... people. More specifically, the red-haired one. "Reaper." He muttered, standing up from his chair. "The hell are you looking at? This Serenitian belongs to me." Yeah, she was a Reaper, seemingly staring at the table where a Serenitian royal was... what else was he to assume?"Well, so much for that." Reiner muttered."Who the hell are you? I don't recognize you. And why are you with a human?""Oh! I'm, er..." What was believable? "Her slave!...?" He leaned towards Aria, covering his mouth and whispering. "Reapers have slaves, right?""You enslaved a human?" Aeon gave them an incredulous look. It wasn't that it NEVER happened, but it was generally only with very exceptional humans. Taking a slave was a big commitment, and not something you did with just anyone. "And this human? Really?" Reiner did NOT look like he was one such exceptional human, to Aeon."You underestimate me, sir! I... uh... have the amazing talent of... uh..." Sir Octo-Leg crawled out from the back of Reiner's cozy cloak, perching on his shoulder once again. "Ah! I can communicate with spiders and turn them into my familiars! Fear my wrath!" Sir Octo-Leg glanced at Reiner, and if spiders had expressions, it would look confused."Terrifying." Aeon said flatly, his arms crossed. He turned his attention back to Aria. "What are you doing here, Reaper? If you intend to claim this Serenitian, I'll kill you first." He obviously had no idea that this could actually be his daughter from a time that has yet to be--with Phoenix, no less. All he knew was that she was a Reaper, and Serenitian royals were prime targets.(( OOC: ))

"Brave? Is that what I am?" Reiner put a hand to his chin, apparently pondering. "I suppose I've just always said whatever I wanted." For most people with that sort of bearing, it might have lessened in a romantic relationship, but if anything he was even more forthcoming with whatever he wanted to say with her, it seemed. For better or for worse, but she didn't seem too perturbed.
"Ahh, good! I've never been happier to take the blame!" He reached up, stroking her hair once again, with that smile on his features once again. "There are few things that bring me greater joy than your nervousness...!" And he seemed to be really good at bringing that out of her, so it worked out great for him. Maybe not so great for her, but that was okay. "Don't. You could never offend me. But I appreciate your worry--I'm glad you care. I feel the same." When they first got together he was a lot more worried that he would constantly irritate her given he knew his personality was rather abrasive and a lot of people found him uncomfortable to be around. And that had to be doubly true with someone who became irritated easily. But somehow, they just worked surprisingly well together."Don't let it go to your head." Aeon said with a flat expression, lifting his drink to take a drink, partly to cover for his slight awkwardness. "Fun is stretching it a bit. I'm just imagining you with your clothes off. That's the only real enjoyment I'm getting." He never was one to be upfront with his feelings, was he. "Don't get your hopes up, sweetness." He responded dully to her suggestion of abandoning his plans. His desire to slaughter the people who rejected him for something he couldn't control certainly wasn't going to just vanish from "love.""Uh, yes? How would I not know that? I have a collar with her name on it to prove it, I just left it at home..." He said that so casually one would wonder if it was actually a lie, but surely it was. ...Right? "...Who? Ephraim? Lar... uh, Rachel...? Laura Shell? I... don't know what you're trying to say." Reiner usually wasn't much of a liar, given he was almost always just genuine with his thoughts and feelings, but he must have been mentally preparing for this. Maybe hiding his relationship had helped him somewhat with that problem of his. "I'm a little concerned about your mental state..." Reiner said, trying to sound uncomfortable. It WAS quite the leap of logic, even if it was actually true. "If you must know, my Master is gathering intelligence on the relationship status of Serenitian royals. Since you're here with another Reaper, she decided there was no reason not to just ask directly." Wow, Reiner was pretty smooth at lying when he put his mind to it, it seemed. His father was exceptional at thinking on his feet, perhaps he inherited some ability in that regard."Doesn't explain why I've never seen her.""..." Reiner thought for a moment. "...Why would you have? You don't exactly socialize much, if I'm not mistaken.""How the hell would you know that?"Reiner smiled in slight satisfaction. "It's my job. My Master has tasked me with understanding the common workings in the Reaper Realm, as well as the typical status and routine of noteworthy Reapers, such as yourself."Aeon rolled his eye. "What a privilege." He said flatly. "And Krul is fine with this?""It was the queen's order in the first place.""Of course it was... nosy b***h can't keep out of everyone's business." This lie seemed pretty successful so far. Who would've expected Reiner would be the better liar in the couple? "Well, no, we're not married, for ******** sake. We just showed up in this world. Take that to Krul and ******** off. Tell her I said that, too. Stay out of my business.""You seem so unhappy. Would you like to talk about it?""..." Aeon turned his attention back to Aria. "Does this chattering monkey speak for you? Why the hell would you pick such a soft human to master? Ugh... guess everyone has a type." He shook his head, turning away. "Any other wild conspiracy theories you want to share, Phoenix? Do you think this loaf of bread is actually a slice of the moon?" Funny that he was making fun of her when she was pretty close to the truth.(( OOC: ))

 ___ ___  _________   ___ ___ "I know I must place my duty as a commander above my life as a man. And once I am crowned, I most certainly will do exactly that.
However, I am not ready to divorce myself from my compassion just yet. I will find the balance somehow, the means to save my country and her people.
That is the king I wish to become, and so that is the man I must be." It had been a short while since Avalanche had returned from the beach, and found some new alleged off-worlders waiting for them. A bit peculiar, but it wasn't that suspicious given they said they were guided here by Nero, who vouched for that.
Now, Ephraim sat on a chair in the living area... reading a book. How Lyon and Eirika would be flabbergasted by him choosing to read. But upon closer inspection, one might see he was more hiding in the book, and one could practically see the sweatdrop on him. What could he have to hide from? ...Well... one of those aforementioned off-worlders was just sitting on the nearby sofa, staring at him, beaming. What a not socially awkward thing to do. "..." Well, he couldn't just do this all day. "...Er... you mentioned your name was Reiner, yes? Do you need something?"That big smile on Reiner's face was replaced by a surprised look, and a blink. "Oh! I didn't think you could tell I was looking at you." Ephraim gave him a blank stare. Did he really think he was being even a little discreet? He had literally been leaned forward with this big smile on his face. "I don't need anything!" Reiner had been almost floored by seeing his parents so young. It was hard for him to pay attention to anything else! He loved his parents a lot, and it was like he didn't want to miss a single moment of their "youth." "Are you and merrgh- L'Arachel married?""What?!" That was... a peculiar question out of the blue. "...Yes. Why do you need to know?""...Oh! Just--curiosity!" Ephraim gave him an incredulous look. He needed an excuse. "...Well, I was just curious how you met, and how you proposed to her, and how you both fell in love, and-""Th-these are very personal questions.""Oh my gosh, you're blushing! You two are so cute!""What...?!""You must love her so much! Awww...!" Discretion didn't seem to be Reiner's strong suit. ...He almost forgot about the excuse he needed. "Oh! Well, you two seem so close, I was just thinking how nice it might be to have something like that myself. That's all.""? Are you and the red-haired girl not together?" Reiner blinked several times in shock. "...It seems like you two gravitate towards each other most of the time." It was enough that Ephraim made a mental note of it--when they met Reiner, Aria, Javik, and Lily, Reiner and Aria were unconsciously closer physically while Javik and Lily were spaced out from each other and them. And it seemed like Reiner and Aria exchanged glances a lot."Wow, you're good!" ...Wait, what did he just say? "I mean! No! Aria and I aren't together! What a strange thing to suggest! She hates me, in fact!" Gosh, if Ephraim caught on THAT quickly in this time, there was no chance he hadn't noticed in Reiner's time, was there? He just played dumb all this time so Reiner and Aria could reveal it when they were ready. It was almost maddening! But he had been told about and had experienced his father's observational skill, so he supposed it shouldn't be so surprising."You speak so passionately..." It was like every time he opened his mouth, passion and charisma flew out unabated! It was almost like... Ephraim's eyes squinted slightly, as he began to observe Reiner more closely. His hair and eye color also-Oh no, Reiner knew that look. "A-anyway! Tell me more about that L'Arachel woman! She seems great!" There was surely no way Ephraim would be able to surmise his identity given there was no precedence for any sort of time travel-esque things in this world, but why take chances?"..." L'Arachel didn't have some brother, did she? Surely he would've heard about it by now if she had. Unless she also was unaware... or perhaps some cousin? ...Hmm. It wasn't impossible there was no relation, but now that he noticed the blatant similarities, it was hard for him to assume this boy wasn't at least from Rausten. Not that everyone in Rausten looked similar or anything, but the association just made his mind go there. (( OOC: ))

   Lily rolled her eyes, bonking Reiner over the head with the palm of her hand, so it wouldn't hurt, just be more of a bother. As if anything could ever really bother him! "Can you stop being so creepy and weird?! Ugh, you're gonna give us away in no time if you keep admiring your dad like that. Duuuuuuuhhhhhh!!" She said into his mind, of course. "Seriously though, it's weird. " And was making his poor dear dad so very uncomfortable! On the other hand she did find it a little humorous too.
Glancing around the living room, she started to realize just how awkward things seemed to feel around all these people, some were oblivious family and others friend in their little timeline. She had to get this awkwardness gone in the best way she knew how to!
"Ugh, all this softie talk is getting me bored..Who wants to go raise hell somewhere with me?! C'mon, show of hands please! Let's go! "
Silence seemed to over take the room, and Lily's nose turned upward, as her arms crossed over her chest. "Well, what-evaaa. This is one girl who knows how to have fun, I'm best by myself anyway!" With those words, she turned away and headed her way out of the door, leaving the mansion and its boring people to do what they did best, sit around!

Alisa Nocking another arrow, Alisa drew it back in her bow, infusing the arrow with the power of wind before letting it fly. Her adversary narrowly dodged the arrow, advancing forward swiftly until the arrow exploded in the air behind him, the explosion converting into a mass of wind with strong suction, nearly pulling him off his feet as it drew him towards it. He stabbed his weapon into the ground to brace himself, as his cape flew in the wind as the vacuum current tried to take him. Grinning, Alisa sprinted forward, leaping up to deliver a decisive kick to his face, to knock him away from his weapon and force him to be pulled helplessly into the vacuum. It didn't work quite how she hoped though, as her foe ducked under her kick and grabbed her by the thigh. "?!?" And proceeded to turn, hurling her backwards and towards the wall. "AAAAAAAAHHH!!" Well, that was unexpected. Ephraim's strength was something she was constantly surprising to her, being able to do that with one hand while keeping hold on his spear. Alisa slammed into the wall with her legs up and her head near the ground, sliding down a bit with a grunt. Given the shortness of her skirt, though, it led to... a bit of a view. At least she had undergarments on."Oh, for the love of..." Ephraim averted his gaze, holding up his hand to further bar his vision. "Will you recompose yourself?""UugGHHH," Alisa let out as she forced herself up, dusting herself off. Clearly, she was unaffected by her own wind current, as she passed right through it to slam into the wall. "It's your fault! Stupid perverted king!""I did not want to see any of that."Alisa rolled her eyes. "You know you liked it." She said knowingly, before raising her bow again and nocking yet another arrow.
It seemed this training room was definitely going to be getting some value after all. (( OOC: ))

  Despite having absolutely no interest in battle, fighting and training, Lilith found herself bearing through how much she hated the violence part of it, just so that she could watch Alisa train.She may not of known Ephraim very well, but word did spread pretty quickly at the kings amazing skills, which also may of added to a bit of worry. What if he went all out in training and actually hurt her? She could at least try to prevent that if it got to rough. Which, in her worried mind already seemed to be getting close to.
As if the actual battle was not bad enough, the surprise of her very obvious view to Ephraim's eyes just had to make it all that much worse! ".........He purposely knocked her back like that....H-How dare him!! " As if! If she only knew his loyalty to L'Arachel, she might not of thought like that.
"....I think you two have trainned enough! That's it! " They would hear her vice through the loud speaker in the training room.

AlisaAlisa blinked, glancing up as the voice came through the loudspeaker. Ephraim did the same momentarily. "I guess we have an audience." She said with slight nervousness. "Er, haha... I guess we should stop here for now?"The vacuum explosion Alisa set off had died down as she seemed to be getting ready to stop fighting, so Ephraim could face her normally again. He tilted his head slightly. That must have been Lilith's voice. Alisa had spoken about her a bit already, and he could tell she felt nervous about something. She seemed to feel inadequate, perhaps due to... past issues. Maybe Alisa worried she didn't seem impressive enough to Lilith. And so, Ephraim got an idea. "...So, should I take that as your surrender, then?""..." The nervous expression on Alisa's features quickly morphed to that of irritation. "Excuse me?""It's fine. We both know you have no chance against me. You're too weak." This is typically not something Ephraim would do, especially not in casual training, but... it was part of the plan.Alisa gritted her teeth. She was an extremely prideful princess, as anyone could tell you, really, and she wasn't one to ignore her emotions either. "All right, tough guy." She tossed her bow aside, letting it clatter to the ground. Ephraim blinked in surprise. "You've earned a special dose of humiliation." And she wasted no time, sprinting forward towards him. Ephraim responded in kind, jabbing his spear towards her. Alisa was too irritated to notice, though, that his counterattack was much slower than it had been before. Alisa responded as expected, grabbing the spear by its shaft. She turned as she got closer, delivering an elbow to his gut. It wasn't enough to make him release his spear, but he did anyway, and she drew back slightly, throwing his spear aside as well. "That all you've got?" As Ephraim leaned back up, she wasted no time, hopping up and wrapping her legs around his neck, pulling backwards and using her momentum to throw him backwards, putting him squarely onto his back and knocking the wind out of him. Alisa, from her crouched position, deftly rolled backwards using her hands, her impressive poise landing her directly on her feet as she stood above the downed king. She had to do little else--she lifted her leg, placing her foot squarely against Ephraim's throat and applying pressure. Given the air had just been knocked out of him, he would begin to feel like he was suffocating, as she was disallowing him from breathing in. Ephraim, in a mild oxygenless-induced panic, began to try to pry her foot off his throat, but to no avail. "Ah-ah-ah," Alisa said, smirking smugly. "Lift up your hands, wrists together, as though they were bound." He gave her a look. "Did I stutter? Or would you rather lose consciousness?" Ephraim felt he didn't have many options, and was second-guessing his choice in executing this plan. He hastily lifted his harms, wrists together, as ordered. "Good. Alisa materialized magic into her hand, throwing it at his wrists. The magic would wrap around his wrists and keep its momentum, resulting in two things: first, his wrists would be bound together by magic binds, and second, his wrists would be forced down against the ground above his head, where the magic would anchor down and result in him being unable to free himself or move his wrists at all, aside from slight struggling. And at last, Alisa would lift her foot from his throat, allowing him to finally gasp a full, deep breath of air. Wearing an incredibly smug smile, Alisa rather daintily placed her raised foot down onto his chest, and placed her hands on her hips. "Oops~ did the helpless princess hurt the strong king?" She said as tauntingly as a voice could possibly allow, clearly intending to drive the humiliation in more.
Indeed, it was humiliating, just as she promised. In only a few short moves, Alisa had disarmed him, put him down, and left him a gasping, bound, and defeated man beneath her boot. And she stood there, hands on her hips, boot against his chest, completely fine and breathing normally. She wasn't even putting pressure into his chest--she didn't need to. It was entirely to drive the humiliation further. He couldn't do anything. "I hope next time you'll go easy on little ol' me~" She winked tauntingly with her tongue stuck out.
...She wasn't quite aware that he WAS trying to let her win, just to show off to Lilith. And he had accomplished that quite well. Maybe a little too well, as he laid beneath her boot, breathing heavily, looking like a very, very defeated man.(( OOC: ))
