When: Friday 10 August 2007
Why: well.... Relm got tickets to see The Phantom of the Opera and the pair deserves some uninterrupted alone time


Friday night. Finally it was here. The main room of the house was surprisingly quiet -except for giggling- considering there was not a single Relm in the family not in attendance. Not to mention most of the females too. Those with any romantic inklings at all. Which was pretty much everyone except Myranda who was taking this time to keep all the fae and flighty and otherwise uncontrollable creatures from interfering. There were a few boys as well. All of course were under severe warnings from the pictomancers backed by a very threatening Ginny kitsu that trouble of any sort was going to be dealt with quickly & severely had even the Weasley Twin tala behaving like angels. Aiden was there, of course, suspecting what his 'baby' sister hoped for this evening and unable to say anything against it -to either become a hypocrite or make it seem he did not approve of the male. He did approve of him... it was simply difficult to think of Relm that way.

Or perhaps not. Aiden saw very little of his "cute" little sister in the vision before him. Her soft light brown curls were pulled loosely onto her head where they spilled down in soft waves leaving her neck bare. A glitter of diamonds could just be seen circling whatever was holding her hair up and in place like a tiara of stardust, winking where the light caught it. Her dress -he knew from the Relms' continual comments on it- was a shade of blush rose just barely pink from the red of the hummingbird male's markings so that the colors would go well together and not clash. The fabric was soft, with an odd sheen that made the flowing folds of the skirt fade to an elegant black starting at her knees and moving ever darker to her ankles. The skirt flared from her hips and hugged at the same time, revealing everything yet hiding it as well. The sleeveless top was quite form fitting as well above where it flared into the skirt. The back was open beneath the lacing that corseted the dress together in the back, dipping to leave room for her tail to emerge, the bow of the constraining ribbons resting with subtle enticement on the soft brown fur of Relm's tail. It gave a corseting effect too, lifting the audio female's breasts with well placed boning while concealing them at the same time. In fact... the best view of the resulting cleavage could only be seen by someone Keme's height and only when looking down upon Relm. Aiden knew. Being the same height as the hummingbird male he had been conscripted as the guinea pig. That had been odd indeed. The thought & memory still made the fae Highlander blush.

Relm herself was trying to maintain a presence of calm, but her hands fiddled anxiously with her small handbag that matched both her dress and the short heels she wore. Keme would be there any moment... was it too much? Would it be enough? For the millionth time the pictomancer checked the things she had stored in her handbag -conveniently spelled by Remus & Ginny to hold whatever she needed of it. Besides her paintbrush, which she hoped she would not have to use tonight, there was a magical tent and a few things to go with it that she hoped she would have a chance to use.

If all went well.

Relm wished Timex would be taking them. Maybe she should have brought that up? Her fingers twisted at her handbag. How could she plan so much and yet not plan anything at all? "You look lovely." A soft voice whispered reassuringly in her ear, a calming hand resting on her forearm. Relm looked up into the human woman's happy-sad eyes, smiled and gave her a fierce hug. Taken aback Trelweny blinked in her surprise then returned the gesture while being careful not to mess the shorter female's hair.

Brush tucked between beret & henna marked ear the Feather tailed Relm hopped excitedly from one red booted foot to the other. The other Relms snickered, knowing the cat anthro had ulterior motives for the success of the hoped for outcome of the evenings activities. "He'll have to act! He'd be dead or a saint not to!"

The audio's face fell with worry. That's exactly what I've been worried about... Trel picking up on her emotions gave another hug and pulled the girl's simple but elegant dress shawl over her shoulders. "Don't fret about it. If it happens... it happens. If not... well, worry about it later. Enjoy the night together. You don't get times like this often." Relm gave her a grateful look. The human knew about how short time sometimes was... and what it meant to wait. The combination was both frustrating & oddly comforting. "Thanks..."

At the knock Relm practically jumped, light green eyes going to the window to try and catch a glimpse. Aiden looked over to catch Trelweny's eyes & the human nodded. On the couch perpendicular to the one claimed by the kirin Relm two Seifers turned to watch with raised brows as the family patriarch stepped to the door. The Relms on their laps shared a a glance, shook their heads and smiled softly then as one also turned their gaze to the door. An anthro Relm with mint green carbunkle ears peered around the bahamut winged gunblader's shoulders & received a growl & a wanting look, then scowled softly a brief moment as he wrapped his dark draconish wings about himself and the moth0winged beauty on his lap. Ginny looked up from where she was grooming a squirming Cedrella kit to shoot warning glance at a particularly bouncy Rikku audio, her voronwe compatriot being solemnly kept in line by a larger, quiet female of the same species with flowing green hair. The audio Al Bhed stilled somewhat but was still grinning crazily as Aiden opened the door to smile at their visitor.

"Keme-laddie. Always a pleasure te have ye come by." The Highlander reached out to clasp Keme's hand firmly, then stepped to the side to reveal Relm in her dark blush gown flanked by Trelweny on one side and her feather tailed self on the other (who now only showed appropriate excitement).

The Audio had to be led forward, her eyes having gone wide with surprised happy delight as the door had opened. "Keme..." Sucking in her breath the oldest pictomancer of the family smiled. "Hummer... wow."

"Lily Rose! How many times have I told you wands are not playthings?!?" The red-headed kitsu witch lay off the bathing of one daughter to run to her only red-headed child while muttering things about 'and this is the reason children didn't get to pick out their wands until after getting their letters to Hogwarts' and things of that nature. The look on her face belied her words and mutterings looking thrilled to see her daughter. Giving a smile to Keme she gave him a quick "You two have fun" before lifting Lily Rose up by the scruff of her neck and bringing her back to the beanbag where Cedrella -oddly enough- was primly awaiting. Prim... but for the look of utter mischief in her young eyes as she focused on her sister with a look of 'don't you know better than to do that sort of thing around Mum? Gotta do it around Dad. Or better yet... around those who don't know any better.' The look was gone before their mother could see it.

Relm meanwhile was blushing at the compliment but managed a soft "We will" to Ginny As she passed. Her eyes had fallen with her blush but now Trelweny had handed her off to Aiden who was putting her hand into Keme's and the pictomancer looked up breathlessly. Espers... I didn't think he could get more handsome...

Cedrella moved around her mother with a squeak to avoid the red sparks then shot her sister a playful glare followed by sticking out her tongue.

Sharing another glance Trelweny and Aiden nodded. Gently she pushed Relm while he directed Keme out the door. "Get on with ye then. Ye dinnae wannae miss th' show."

"Aiden's right off with you two!" Trel gave the pair a quick group hug, then tears moistening her eyes hurried back inside. Relm gave her retreating form a quick, sympathetic smile then let her be, turning a radiant smile on Keme before glancing at their ride. Her mouth dropped open. "Oh! Morgana's going to take us?" There was honor & joy in the tone.

Relm waved at Morgy, hoping the equine understood why she did not pet her tonight as she might usually do. The blood did not bother her... but it simply would not be right. Not tonight. The thought made her cringe a little bit inside from the selfishness. Next time she saw Morgy after tonight she would offer her a full wash & brush-down in thanks.

"Me too..." She said breathlessly, her eyes locking on Keme as he lifted her into the carriage and then followed her inside. Her heart was racing... pounding beneath her form fitting dress from the look in his eyes. From the look of him. "Thank you. I... wanted to look good for you. Something... different. Special. Something worth how you are to me."

Without taking her eyes from his face, Relm very lightly set her hands upon his.

She smiled, giving a little sigh as she looked out over Morgana as the carriage began to move. The bareness of her back made her tingle and feel... well quite vulnerable.

Lightly she leaned into his shoulder, barely resting her cheek there. "Does Morgy know the way? At least out of the woods, & to the city?"

A slow smile spread over her face. That was what she wanted to hear. Plenty of time.

There would be enough time the rest of the night for anticipation.

Lifting one hand from their pile of them Relm reached to lightly cup Keme's cheek to direct his face to hers. She smiled breathlessly up at him. "We have until then, right? With no interferences..." Her eyes sparkled lovingly, a bit impishly, possibly sensually. "I'm tired of waiting. We'll have to wait through the show anyway..."

Closing her eyes Relm turned carefully and lifted her lips to his, pressing lightly.
