The smile quickly came back onto Elijah's face. "Ooooh, so it's my fault is it? Well then it's nothing serious or bad..." Whether he realized he had leaned forward or not, Elijah had kept his head at that distance, as if he were considering it himself. "Well... You give me butterflies in my stomach and make my head spin. So were pretty even I'd say." He winked and laughed a little. Just occurrences of love, nothing to worry about. Elijah was quite happy with that.
"I'll have to huh? Not sure if that's a very good threat right there." He stared at her for a few moments, directly in the eyes as if he were thinking seriously about whether to go for it or not. The truth was he had already made up his mind. The anthro dog leaned in and stole a light kiss himself. He couldn't help it! It could become addicting if they continued on like this. He probably already was addicted! "Looks like I have to pay the price..." Carrying Relm in his arms didn't sound like a punishment at all. Just a reward. Elijah swept Relm up in his arms bridal style. "This alright?"

Snappy retort about it definitely being his fault faltered as Relm turned back to stare -dumbfounded- at the dog anthro. She... did? And he admitted to it? The notion made her head reel... but in a rather good way. The way the joyous fluttering within her leapt at Elijah's wink... Espers... I'm falling.
What... is he thinking? So it wasn't a threat threat... more of a warning. Or just... letting him know, masked as a teasing threat. After kissing... Relm hoped picking her up was not a real threat. She was pretty little after all. Child-sized still, really. A point of more than a little grief. Relm waited, watching him and not certain if she should say anything much less what. Even only seconds her quick mind could think too much, so that it was only her honed quick perception that had her eyes closing in time for the stolen kiss. Stolen... Relm would have laughed that something wanted to share could be stolen had she sense to think about it, but she had not been kidding. Everything was new to her but she could tell when she neared her limit somehow. At least physically. Possibly a result of knowing just when a hit would KO her in battle, but different all the same. Her breath fluttered softly from her lips like a sigh as her legs started to truly give out. Elijah's words came to her but only slightly registered as she felt him catch her before she could fall; lifting her up into the safety of his arms. Her own arms shifted so they were both around his neck again and better for the new position. Would her blush fade soon already? Not if it was at all fueled by the fluttering within her. Making a happy little sound Relm made herself a bit more comfortable curling into him. How could he stand and walk and carry her? Relm seldom felt so girly and yet... "Only with you."
Relm tucked her face into his neck. There was no lie in that. Anyone else carrying her -seeing her weak for real- and it would infuriate her. But not this. "You accept your punishment well." Teasing.

Elijah grinned after hearing Relm. It was moments like these that inspired people to write all those love songs he always seemed to be hearing he figured. He could probably write one now if he thought about it more. Maybe he would. But for another day. Writing music took a lot of time and there was some others things he wanted to center himself around for now, like Relm for example.
Only with you... Oh how three little words could make someone feel so wonderful. "Only me, huh? Good. I want to be the only one," He replied seeming reassured since he knew very well if Relm were to be carried around by another guy like this he'd grow jealous. Relm wasn't difficult at all for him to carry. She was pretty light in the first place, and hey, he might not been a football player, but that didn't mean he couldn't have some upper body strength.
"Punishment? I'm quite pleased with this actually. You're pretty light. If you want to punish me you're going to have to be a bit more creative. And I'm sure you can think of something..." This carrying thing only gave him another excuse to hold her close. After taking Relm's directions, the anthro dog was able to quickly spot the merry-go-round that he had been told about.

She only smirked and snuggled into Elijah at his response to the 'only you' comment. It... made her feel good that something like that made him feel good. Relm also liked how he was being forward about it. Like she wanted him to want to be the only one. How silly is that? Yet even as it might seem silly of her, she felt it was not. maybe this was why she was never interested in the whole 'dating' thing? Because she had to be interested enough in someone to do so at all? Her 'sister' had wanted to claim once... but that had gone awry for her for a long time. Relm vowed to avoid such things, and dating did not interest her but going places with Elijah... that had been different. Something she really truly liked. Something... that had come to mean so much to her. Was this why?
It was probably a good thing that Relm was so stubbornly independent that she would not permit anyone to carry her. In fact the only times she had been were from battles where she had been knocked out. Far too many of those to sit easy on the young pictomancer's mind as it was. But those she had been carried as a child -thought of as a little sister at best, a daughter or granddaughter type otherwise. Even Gau -not much older than her at the time- had been brotherly to her. She had been something to be babied... and it had galled her. This... Relm held on close. This was totally different.
Relm laughed. "Creative? You want me to be more creative?" It sounded almost delightfully dangerous and very. very tempting. Certainly her 'family' would be terrified of her being creative -on any level but pure painting. But... this was certainly different, and Relm knew of many things she had seen or otherwise learned about that suddenly were becoming... well future possibilities at any rate. The notions however she let flavor her voice. Why not? If somehow Elijah was going to get her to think herself into such thoughts as that then she might as well make him squirm a bit about it too. Besides... it pretty much would confirm to him more how she felt about him. Though... it kind of shocked Relm all the same. She rested her cheek thoughtfully against his, her hair falling behind them as she watched where they were going. Was it this easy to let herself become this close to him so soon? This easy, to be so -well- romantic? "hmmm... maybe I'll save that for later though."
Or at least some of the more creative thoughts that were already forming in her mind. Blushing a little even though he probably could not see her reddened cheeks Relm softly set her lips to his neck where her face was tucked. Her breath lingered over the few soft kisses she left there, and even those kisses had sent shivers though her. It probably was not at all proper to be so bold... but when had Relm ever bothered about 'proper' except when she had to for an act? Sometimes when she had not wanted to upset or otherwise loose Elijah... but that did not seem to be happening right now. She just... she just had to kiss him.
Besides... they were near the merry-go-round now. If somehow it made him weak like she was when kissing him Relm would stop. At least until she was sure they would make it. Is it... okay to want another kiss before I try to explain to him? I want 'Lijah to understand... but now that we've kissed... now that we've kissed I really want another. Who knew... kisses could be so addictive? For though she had seen and often laughed how couples could not seem to get enough of each other no matter how much she figured out or thought she understood Relm could not possibly know it all. Even if she liked to think and even show that she did.

Elijah's face reddened a little as he felt the kisses on his neck. Even as her lips left his neck he could still feel what they left. Now he was beginning to feel a bit "weak" himself. Did she have any idea what she was doing to him? Probably so... He had challenged her after all. If this was her attempt at being creative it was working almost too perfectly. He liked it too. No, he loved it. Loved it so much that he very much wanted to pull her into another kiss, a more passionate one than even the last. Yes, that's exactly what he wanted, but no. One couldn't over do something as special as this when they hadn't even reached the merry-go-round which was like five steps away.
Oh, but it was so very tempting.
Those last five steps were taken and Elijah stood by the child's ride. "Sooo.... Do would you like me to hold you for a while or should I eventually put you down?" He asked half jokingly. Holding her to him was nice. Continuing to do so wouldn't be a burden at all.

If asked, Relm would tell him that those kisses were nothing of the creativity she hoped to expose him to. Eventually. Of course... she would likely be very playful or teasing about telling him. Depending on her mood at the moment. She was not even intentionally answering the challenge.
Yet.
Not that Relm was about to offer such information freely on her own accord. Especially when any thought that it might be in thought was quite far from her mind. Barely open eyes watched the fine down hairs normally invisible over one's skin move across Elijah's neck as she breathed over the kisses she had placed there. Even as an artist, accustomed at finding beauty in the smallest and simplest of things, Relm marveled at how just that meant so much to her and could hold her focus and attention for what seemed like a very long time.
It was not though, and she slowly tilted her face up with a smile in response to Elijah's voice. The smile quirked teasingly, an impish twinkle accompanying it in her bright green eyes. "I dunno... can you stand?"
She teased lightly her eyes flicking to his neck with a slight but evidently meaningful lift of her brow before meeting Elijah's eyes once more. It would be interesting -and Relm was realizing it would be quite thrilling on another level too- to test how long he could both stand and hold her. Especially while under... distraction. But that, like many other ideas in her creative mind really should be held for another time -or at least later. Now... the question was... should she let him come up with something or share the notion that had come to her mind of how she could be held AND he could not worry about whether he could keep standing or not?
The teasing look slipped from her eyes leaving a pure and warm slight smile, now longer impish and clear warm eyes as Relm fell to the answer pulled from the wording of Elijah's question. There was only one answer to that, for her to be truthful. "Hold me."
A blush. It was so sappy, but it was true. Her head ducked feeling the heat return to her cheeks, but only for a moment before her eyes were once more on his. A bit of teasing and mischief had returned, but light & sweet in it's playfulness. "But... I won't expect you to stand the whole time. If you don't think you can, Musician."
Well... she did not have to spell it out to him. Hopefully. That should have been enough. But just in case...
This time Relm turned and added just one more kiss to those she had left before. It was different than the other ones though. More somehow... not those light little things to refrain her temptation earlier. This time... Relm was actually trying to implement something she had seen even if only lightly. She did not really want to make Elijah's knees buckle. Just to give good reason why he should sit down with her.
And why, if she was the one giving him the kiss, was she feeling lightheaded giving it?

Permission to hold her; exactly what he wanted to hear. He could get what he wanted and it was even better knowing she wanted it too.
"As you wish."
Stand the whole time? No, of course not though he might of tried to stand a big longer if he was egged on to. The last kiss sort of took away what will he had left to stand. No, his knees didn't buckle, but he did sit down on the merry-go-round. Elijah put Relm down onto his lap and wrapped his arms around her in a warm embrace. "Now you're making me feel sort of weak. If you kept kissing me like that I don't know what would have happened..." He moved his head so he could press his lips against her forehead. After removing his lips from that spot he took a moment to look around at where they were.

All right.... she had seen Princess Bride with her house-family way too much. Relm knew it was true now, for as Elijah said those words to her they made her heart flip irrationally and she knew -knew- she was in trouble. But... maybe... just maybe... it was a good thing.
After a soft fluttery sigh, Relm knowing somewhere in the back of her mind that she probably had a sappy type smile on her face -dreamy or otherwise- she snuggled into the shifted embrace. It was easy to shift, she was finding, to automatically move so that nothing was out of place or bending weird while still staying close.
It really was this easy, wasn't it?
Certainly to feel she belonged in his lap. A hint of precociousness lit her eyes at speaking of her making him weak. It was obscured before she could comment back as her eyelids fluttered closed for the forehead kiss and Relm lightly shivered though not from cold. She started speaking before opening them again, simply breathing them in. Her grin hinted at mischief again. "We can find out later..."
Why not hint at her own thoughts? Relm had decided it might be fun to share. Besides... she did not say when 'later' was. I think I'll like... to make him squirm... because she wanted him to be happy.
Her eyes flickered open only to close again after seeing that Elijah was 'casing' the place. She could not blame him, for any of the reasons she could think of, and closed her eyes once more as she trusted it to him and rest her head on his shoulder. Sitting on his lap would make kissing easier...
But his mention of 'weak' also reminded her what she wanted -no needed- to tell Elijah. Still she would like that kiss first, so Relm waited. "Nice, isn't it?" The artist asked softly of the view. "That soft rise to the left over there, with only a few branches obscuring it? That's where I set up my easel to paint the kids playing here." Here being the merry-go-round where they sat.
Other playground pieces could be seen scattered about through the path and trees, spread out aesthetically in a more old fashioned sense than modern. As if the new equipment simply replaced old as they became degenerate.
her head rested on his shoulder, but whether subconscious or intentional her lips were raised towards his & her closed eyes 'looked' to Elijah's face as if she could see him. Perhaps she could, for as Relm moved one hand from where it had been holding him and lifted it she was able to bring her hand to touch the dark patch on the left side of Elijah's face and caress it tenderly before pulling it away to take a single finger and trace his lips with a touch soft as the barest brush-stroke.
Or perhaps it was a silent testament to how well the artist had memorized his face. A witness to something more left unsaid.

There just had to be some mystery involved. If he wasn't curious before he definitely was now; to see what exactly she meant by "we can find out later." If only later could be now, and yet later was always good. He'd hate to rush things between them too much. And yet... It still made him curious.
He smiled after looking at the place for a bit. "This reminds me of some old hang out I used to have to meet up with one of my friends when I was little. Looks so much like it..." His mind drifted from reminiscing and back to Relm.
One of his hands came up to gently take hold of the hand that was tracing one of the features of his face. He wanted to kiss her too and that, even as enjoyable as it had been, would get in the way. He leaned his head forward a little towards her face. It was just as addicting for him as it was for her after all. His other hand moved up so he could gently lift her chin up just a tiny bit so it was a bit easier to kiss.

It was nice to hear Elijah reminisce. Relm made a mental note on her heart more than her mind how she would really like to hear more sometime. There was so much she could learn still about Elijah... and she could be happy slowly learning it all, piece by piece.
Feeling her hand caught caused her bottom lip to tremble ever so slightly. Not in pout but in anticipation. It would take little more than a guiding touch for Elijah to tilt her chin, Relm acquiescing already to the coming kiss with a gentle eagerness. A soft release of breath too small even to be properly termed a sigh left the barest parting of her lips as they neared his.
The hand not caught slid down Elijah's back, nearly falling to the merry-go-round itself. On the return up Relm missed going ontop of the jacket, her hand following upon Elijah's T-shirt before gripping around the vicinity of his shoulder blades.
She would meet the kiss, halfway. And then... well it would be quite hard she suspected when the time would come to have to pull away, but Relm would face that when they came to it.

Elijah stopped for a moment so his lips were close enough just to ghost over hers to tease her and just to put a bit more anticipation in it to make it all the better when the kiss actually happened. Of course, it really was only for a moment since he didn't want to wait. Kissing Relm just became better and better each time. It was like being trapped in never ending bliss.
The hand holding Relm's came down onto the surface of the merry-go-round before letting go of the hand so that he could hold Relm around the waist. As he got lost into the kiss, the dog's eyes became completely shut. Now he could enjoy yet another kiss, kisses he hoped he would be able to enjoy long after this day. Good thing he had finally told her what he had been wanting to. If he hadn't confessed who knows what the two of them would be doing. Well, he'd probably still be wondering how he was supposed to deal with his feelings for affection for her obviously, but that didn't matter since he knew now Relm felt the same way about him. Why would she be kissing him if she didn't...? It would be nice to hear though... But he wouldn't rush it, even if when he thought about it, it made him a tiny bit anxious...

She nearly whimpered at the tease of a kiss. Nearly. Instead somehow a smile touched her lips -oddly proud of him in those long seconds her longing & anticipation mounted. Inexperienced, Relm was deducing that Elijah was not so and actually looked forward to him 'teaching' her as it were. Surprisingly enough the little artist was not jealous of whomever might have been in the musician's past.
But as she gave herself into the real kiss when it came Relm knew... woe to anyone who tried to interfere now.
When her hand was free it returned not far from where it had been captured, delicate fingers cupping his cheek then trailing like dancers along his neck and delighting in making the ends of Elijah's brown hair shift while tickling and tingling her own nerve ends. To the back of his neck they trailed their lightly caressing path before threading and burrowing into his hair as her thumb rolled back and forth stirring the fine hairs of the neck itself. Holding him to her.
Then she felt Elijah's skin along her own where it was exposed at her waist and shivered, burrowing her pixie-like body into his even at the odd angle that might make. It did not matter. Her heart pounded to show the dog-anthro what it felt for him. Some part of her had to: her head might still be too stubborn.

Elijah shivered at the sensation of her touch. How good he felt right now was amazing. Everything was perfect, and yet.... He still wanted more. The kiss was deepened into a more passionate kiss as he pressed his lips a bit more onto hers. He wanted to show her just how much he cared about her too. Exactly how he felt and how much he loved this. Sure, he pretty much told her, but showing her was different. He made a quiet, muffled moan, but barely noticed it. He was way too lost into the kiss now. If someone were to walk up to them right now he'd probably not have the slightest clue they were there since he was too busy trying to think of ways to make this kiss last as long as he possibly could make it last.

A mint green ear flicked in her happiness catching the faintest trace of a sound that certainly did not help if she was trying not to melt. That it went perfectly with a wonderful movement like air shifting behind Elijah's kiss helped even less. Then it dawned to conclusion on her usually quicker mind: Elijah had moaned.
Her heart did a backwards somersault in her throat before catching there as waves of happiness washed over her. It was becoming hard to remember to breathe through her nose -it was yet a thought to do so not habit. At one point Relm forgot, lips parting to suck in a much needed breath but getting ... only Elijah's lips. Intoxicated wirh feeling Relm quickly remedied her mistakebut the sensation of the effects of the action remained, gripping her. She sighed happily into the kiss without relinquishing it. Other girls -maybe 'normal' girls- would not kiss like this the first night kissed... but Relm did not care. Now that she had decided what she wanted, she was going after it full tilt.
Maybe when the kiss was over she would remember there was something she had wanted to tell Elijah. If he had not blown her mind beyond recollecting anything but his touch.
She could hardly believe... Elijah had been holding so much back. If she had thought to think about it at all.

Elijah opened his eyes half way to watch Relm as they kissed, just to make sure this was actually happening. Of course, it was obvious now after a few kisses that it was, but still it seemed almost too good to be reality. Sure, he had kissed before, but somehow this kiss just felt so much better. Never had he felt this strongly for someone. So much was happening and all so quickly. Wait... Maybe he had pushed the kiss a bit too fast? From Elijah could tell Relm wasn't complaining and was enjoying it as much as he was, but... He wanted to make sure she knew he was serious about this. Still, it was so hard to pull away. Just a bit longer maybe....
Reluctantly, Elijah forced himself to draw away from the kiss. Breathing the normally for a while might do them some good even if breathing through the nose usually made breathing no problem for him. "You make it hard to hold back..." He murmured quietly. His hand moved from her chin to her cheek.
