Oriana sighed heavily, after half an hour of waiting to see if Auren would pick up even the slightest of hints... but Alas he didn't.
The man has been through a lot, why the hell would i expect him to?, she thought as she finished rinsing out her hair. she stepped out of the shower and dried off, shrugged into her silky robe and scurried down the hall to redress.
After dressing she sat at her mirror and picked up her brush. once she had her hair in order, and slightly dry Oriana made her way back downstairs, "You didn't have to do the dishes, but thank you." she said as she hugged him softly and kissed his shoulder.
Oriana slipped a glass out of the cupboard, and poured herself some tea, "I'm going to start on my work now... If you need me I'll be in my study, alright?"

Auren's shoulders slumped even more as he realized he missed the subtle hint that Oriana was laying out for him.
"Yeah... sure." he muttered as he put the dishes away.
When she left for her study, his body ached for an old past time of his.
Slipping out of the castle and the Mercenary found himself waist deep in the lake's water a half hour later, rooting around for his sword.
Finding it, he retreated back to the beach, drew the azure blade and stared up and down it.
"Who am I really?" he asked the sword. "A mercenary who cannot put down his weapon when he tries the path of peace? Or a broken man who is desperately trying to cling to what he knows?"
With that, he started drilling, going through every single blade technique he knew. He would not stop until he was exhausted.

Oriana peeked out her study window and smiled, "Well, That didn't last long... Ah well, if it brings him comfort and makes him happy, what do i have to complain about?" she turned back to the speech she was writing for her sister.
as the hours ticked by to the beat of the grand elaborate clock she had built into her wall, she set her quill back in it's case, and rubbed her eyes. Her study was illuminated by antique hanging lanterns. she stared at their reddish glow for a few minutes then folded her hands and rested her forehead on them, 'Rusalka, If Auren is asleep can you bring him up here... and do try not to get him wet...'
The dragon awoke from the depths of the pond and surfaced just enough so her eyes and nostrils pierced the calm surface; To watch Auren drill.

Auren finished off one more blade manuver before falling to his kness, exhausted and dripping sweat. Panting in the dying sun, he sheathed the sword and examined it.
Shaking his head, he slung the weapon over his shoulder and started up the climb back to the castle, his mind somewhat clearer.
Slipping back inside, he placed the sword into his room, before slipping off to take a shower. After scrounging some spare laundry. If anything, he would never use his sword for its intended purpose. That promise, he felt, he could keep.

Rusalka sank below the surface, 'I'm sure you've found your mate has returned... on his own.'
Oriana smiled and finished up her paperwork, "There, Now I'll be free for a day if I'm lucky..." she slipped her silk night robe back on and shuffled down the hall in her fluffy slippers. tapping on his door she whispered, "May I come in?"

Auren stepped out from his bathroom, with only a towel covering him.
"Yep." he called out while getting another towel to dry his hair.

The door creaked open and she had noticed he was barely dressed, and stepped back out, "Oh! I'm sorry, you should have told me..." she placed her icy shaking hands on her red face, and tried to keep her heart in her chest, "I-I just wanted to know if you wanted to go into town tomorrow... To get some clothes for you..." she stuttered.

Auren looked at the door oddly. Since when did she get all flightly like that? And what was with the stuttering? His tired mind asked quietly. "Eh... it doesn't matter." he said quietly.
Going to the door, he opened it. "To be perfectly honest? Right now, the less people I have to deal with, the better." he sighed.

Her heart leapt up in her throat and she held her breath to keep from gasping, "Well,....... I finished... my paperwork, so I... could go shopping for you...." she choked as she let out her breath slowly, and continued slow soft breathing, to the point where it looked as though she weren't breathing at all.
She realized she was staring and turned her face away, apologizing again, "A-Are you still hungry... I could bring you up something..."

Auren laughed quietly and wrapped his scarred arms around her waist.
"If you want. Though you clearly have something else on your mind." he said with a grin. "Unless you want to keep trying to hide it. It'll probably just make things sweeter in the end... the anticipation..."

Oriana melted in his arms, and drifted into his arms. she cuddled close to him and took slow staggering breaths. nervous beyond belief, she let him take control.
"So, Tomorrow morning.... I'll get you some new clothes..." she smiled as she nuzzled his neck and kissed his shoulder softly.

Auren growled seductively "Who said I'd let you out of bed?" before pulling her close against him, his scarred, hard body a contrast against her own soft body.
With that, he pulled her in the door and shut it, leading her to the bed, kissing her gently the entire way.

Oriana giggled and shrugged out of her robe, "Well, There are a lot of clothes your size downstairs so if you really don't want me to.... i can stay in bed all day tomorrow."
She slid onto the bed and let her arms hang loosely around his neck, "So, What do you have planned for tonight?"

"Mmm, you'll see." he said quietly as he sat on the bed and sliding her onto his lap, teasing her neck with kisses, lovebites and a bit of tongue here and there.
Kissing along her jawline, he looked at her, smiling. "This is your first dance, isn't it?" he asked her quietly before starting to suck on her neck.
Meanwhile, his hands drifted up and down her back, exploring her gently before goosing her gently

Her back arched forward, and she bit her lower lip. Oriana tried to relax a bit and nodded, "If by that you mean I'm a virgin, then yes... it would be my first dance."
she smiled softly, and stopped his lips with her index finger, then kissed him softly at first, but as her hands drifted up his chest and around his neck, and through his hair, the kisses became more passionate.
