family trip -the island Family Trip -The IslandRemus sat on the beach, contemplating apparating away to check in on Nari & Ember when he noticed one of the new Audio Rhetoric females walking his way over the top of his book. He quickly lowered his eyes to the page, attempting to be engrossed in it. Not that it did any good. His new 'sister' flopped on the ground beside him, twirling her paintbrush between her fingers. "So... Bookworm... what'cha reading?""Nothing that would interest you." He responded, oddly cold. "Just the latest thing Myranda was able to conjure for me on magic theory."The artist gave him an odd look, sizing him up with her gaze. "That's where you're wrong, Bookworm. I am interested." She grinned & winked at him, seeming to have learned much about him already just from looking Remus over. It unnerved the scholarly kitsu. "You see, I am a mage, just like everyone in the village where I was born. Only my magic I prefer to focus through my brush."Startled & a little embarrassed at his rash judgment of the girl, Remus set his book aside & actually looked at her. She had a cute beret with a yellow feather on her head and her adventuresome clothes were a fun mix of French & Arabic styles. "My apologies. I didn't think... Relm, is it?" Relm waved her hand, signifying it was water under the bridge. "Relm Arrowny, if you want to be precise. Chroma tells me we both have fun memories from before." She grinned again at the kitsu, who this time found it quite infectious. "You too?" Remus was feeling very foolish now. All at once he remembered Nari's encouragement to enjoy his family & it eased his longing to see his friends that were somehow more than friends. At least enough that he could converse with Relm. "Not from my world though, like the Weasleys?" He did not recall any wizards calling themselves mages in the Wizarding world. "Yes, in a way. My world is more similar to those of the talaye pups-in-a-basket & my sister Rikku's world than yours, though ours are still different.She looked at him sideways, as if peeling back layers. "I didn't come here to bug you about that.""Oh?" Remus was intrigued now. His own fretting about his previous life's memories had dimmed so he did not mind the subject shift. "What is on your mind then?""Aiden." She said simply. Remus looked at her, confused. "Oh! Don't look at me like that! It's nothing dirty." Remus flustered, having thought nothing of the sort until Relm mentioned it. He was starting to feel as if he was the more innocent-minded of the two of them somehow & wondered what she might know. "He's one of the oldest ones here -'cept for Trel & Locke & the baby- but he's not found a mate yet." her glance grew sly. "AearHwesta says you've got two.The shy kitsu blushed a brilliant red his chocolate fur could not conceal. "I would not call them mates...""But they would want to be?" Again that knowing grin. "I... ah... I... I suppose so." It sounded so lame. "Oh, don't worry. The other kitsu told me all about your Asian angel & emo hottie." Relm winked at him, appearing to enjoy making him squirm under her gaze. Remus could only stare gaping. He had not considered that he would be topic for discussion. "Chroma's a naive dear but she's not unintelligent & she sees everything whether she gets it or not." Her brush wavered before Remus' face & the artist cocked her head. "It's almost a shame you're such a strait shooter. You've a fun situation, for someone of a different persuasion.""Like you, I suppose." He grumbled darkly, not even caring how he sounded. Her laughter danced over him. "Not hardly. I just appreciate that others are. Or might be. I've not been an adult long, in some ways, I'm still a child. Though it's a shame your Ember's of the wrong species, gender, & persuasion. I think I'd like someone difficult like that.""You would want someone difficult?" The shock caused him to forget both his grumpiness & overlook the slight to his dear friend's character. She grinned again, seeming very much like a mature child. "It would add to the fun." She winked again, just confusing Remus all the more. "You let me digress again!" Relm accused cheerfully, mockingly threatening her elder with her paintbrush. Which it might have been had Remus understood her powers. "I need help getting Aiden attached.""You want to get Aiden attached?" Remus repeated, not following. "I already told you it's nothing dirty. He needs a lady. He's such a gentleman. Of all the family, you two are the closest in personality. "((to be finished later))

Aiden Gets a Kiss Page 1082Giggling behind their hands, Relm & Rikku entered the shop. Bright eyes darting, they spotted the -well- spotted female ahead of them almost simultaneously. Sharing a glance they separated to walk up to either side of her smoothly, making just enough noise so that they would not startle her needlessly. "Hi!" The one with braids & a tight yellow dress piped up friendly as the cow-colored audio sat upon a couch. "I'm Rikku. You must be new here." Her sister grinned, adjusting her red beret. Sometimes it was easy to think they had been here longer than they had. "Don't let Blondie or I scare you, Spots. We don't mean any harm." Then, Almost as an afterthought the artist added. "I'm Relm Arrowny. Relm's fine."Luckily, Aiden could not yet hear his sisters in the hallway -or as they entered the room. "I really think so, aye. Ye havenae been at it so long we would expect perfection o' ye, lassie. I dinnae play myself, though I ken understand th' nerves." He smiled reassuringly. "Ye did well."Natty-Chan Gojyo huffed... today just wasn't his day. Perhaps the next thing is... Nat plans on having his headphones paired with Schneider's. A disgusted look appeared on his face before he moved off the sill and walked back to the kitchen, hoping his lighter had fallen out of his pocket there.
Charlamagne watched as the female walked over to the couches. She didn't want to bother the female if she didn't want to be disturbed, but she really didn't feel like being alone. She stuck her tongue out slightly in thought as she slowly moved in the direction the cow marked female did, almost as if debating ever step she took.
As Darsh walked further into the building, he wondered where Lainey was, pondering if she could fix him something to eat again. He wasn't going to go out of his way to go search for her though as he passed by the couches. He noticed the new female, giving her a smirk, but not saying anything as he walked by. He didn't even say anything to the dark winged female he met before. He simply gave her and the male she was with a nod and walked into the hall. Trying to find a nice location to practice his spells, though more than likely, he'll just return. MoochiLove Morgana wipes at her eyes roughly, telling herself she shouldn't complain or fuss, just to keep taking one day at a time and things would be fine. She turns slowly, still wiping at her tears that won't stop, once again not noticing that anyone had entered into the kitchen, sniffling a little bit as she gulps Kaitaia Clarity looked up as someone walked by her and just caught the smirk. She narrowed her eyes, trying to decipher the smirk when she noticed the other female was heading her way, slowly, but surely. Mildly intrested, she watched, but said nothing. Rikku waved a 'come here' gesture to Charlemagne, seeing her nearing & smiled at Darsh as he smirked past them though she gave the sexy boi little thought once he left the room. The Al Behd was kinda hoping Relm would let her loose from this quest to find Aiden a mate. She wanted to do other more exciting things. Aiden would be able to take care of herself. Frowning that everyone was all over the place, Relm forced herself to smile once more. You know what this place needs? Some entertainment." She winked as if part of some great conspiracy. "Blondie, stand over there & do that dance you were practicing on the island." Smoothing her skirt Rikku wrinkled her nose distastefully. "I don't have the right dress sphere for that." She excused herself with a grin, knowing she did not really need it but not being in the mood to dance. Hearing his sisters Aiden closed his eyes & moaned lightly. "Ah, God. What now?"Natty-Chan Once he stepped back into the kitchen, the kappa blinked when he noticed Morgana was still there. He thought she would have left by now as he stepped toward her. "Morgana... are you alright babe?" He asked, giving her a worried glance.
Charlamagne meeped inwardly when the blonde haired audio, whom she didn't notice before, waved her over. The spotted audio could tolerate being with one person she didn't know... but three. She let out a nervous huff as she approached the couch that the three were around. Once there, she gave them a timid bow of her head, remaining silent for the moment. RavenFyre Lainey smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I guess you're right. No one is very good to start with right?" She was assuring herself more than anything else. "Thank you, I'm glad you're not a harsh critic, Aiden," she giggled, "I probably would have quit if you were." She looked around when he suddenly seemed exasperated, though she did spot the two girls she met the night before. "Is something wrong?" MoochiLove Morgana freezes when she snaps her eyes open, some tears rolling down her face. She quickly wipes her face off with the back of her hands as she tries in vain to compose herself, "I'm fine, just....got something in my eyes is all...." she lies, wishing she had gathered herself quicker and not been caught crying like a baby Kaitaia Clarity blinked as the silver and black female headed off in the direction of the others. Shrugging, she pulled her feet underneath her and tucked her tail around her before closing her eyes. Aiden opened his eyes sheepishly at Lainey. "They're here." He offered as a lame sort of apology, trying to hide in his seat. "Dinnae let them trot me about like a horse at market."Kaitaia Clarity looked up at the two, shaking her head as she noticed them. "Hello," she said, her voice soft spoken. "I'm Clarity. It's... Nice to meet you." RavenFyre "They..?" Lainey looked around again, as if expecting to spot some sort of villian, but then realized he must have been talking about his sisters. She tilted her head to the side. "A horse at the market..? Why on earth would they want to do that to you?" Natty-Chan Gojyo gave her a slight look of disbelief as he walked up to her. "You got something in both eyes? It must have been rather big to make you cry so much." He stated, reaching out and placing a hand on her cheek, rubbing his thumb against her damp cheek.
Seeing on how everyone was introducing themselves, the spotted audio finally decided to pipe in. "I'm Charlamagne..." It was barely over a whisper, but it was said, "you can call me Charl if it's easier though." She added, her tail swishing softly as her green eyes looked over the three. MoochiLove Her bottom lip trembles again and she squeezes her eyes shut, desperately fighting off the urge to cry as she clenchs her fists tightly, "Yea...it was..." she whispers, a few more tears escaping despite her effort to stop them "Clarity. That's a nice name." Rikku smiled warmly. "You didn't really come to the shop to be by yourself, did you?" She glanced through her braids for the female who had been heading their way, wondering what was taking her so long. Relm twirled her art-brush idly in her hands, debating grabbing Aiden. It was lucky for him he was speaking with a female or she would have. Aiden blushed, flustered at Lainey's question. Why on earth had he mentioned that? "Ah... they seem to think I dinnae get out enough. 'specially Relm. Something 'bout how I should now more audios with as long as Ah've been around."RavenFyre Lainey tilted her head curiously, looking at Aiden, then back to his sisters, putting what he said together with what Relm was saying last night. They were trying to hook him up with someone. And yesterday she had been the candidate. She noticed them with the spotted colored female and wondered if they were doing the same thing. The cogs in her head started working before grinning impishly. "AIDEN!" she exclaimed suddenly and pounced on top of the winged male, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing his cheek. Kaitaia Clarity smiled awkwardly. "No, I guess not." She adjusted her headphones, turning down the volume a bit. Natty-Chan Gojyo couldn't help but feel his heart sink as he saw her like this. He sighed, moving closer to her, reaching out with his other hand to place on her waist. "Morgana... please, just tell me what's wrong." He pleaded, giving her a worried look.
Charlamagne now felt really silly as the blonde spoke to the cow spotted female. She didn't have a real reason why she didn't like being around multiple people, it just made her really timid. With that, she slowly sat on the arm of the couch, waiting for any opportunity she might have to say something, hoping she wouldn't make a fool of herself or say the wrong thing, or just completely interrupt. MoochiLove Her shoulders slump down as her mask starts to crumble and she lets out a breathy sob, leaning against him wearily, "I'm scared...I worry about so many things...will I be a good mom, will Dark Schneider really leave me alone, will I lose my friends when I get my headphones back, and then this thing with Keme....I thought if I just kept up everything from day to day it would get better....sometimes I wonder if it would be better if I left..." she whispers, clutching at the front of his shirt gently as she opens eyes a little bit Relm was putting out her hand to offer to Charlemagne in greeting even as she opened her mouth to speak to both spotted females while Rikku hopped from one foot to the otherwith pleasure at meeting so many friends -even if they were more shy & softspoken than her new brother & cousin Yunie combined- when Lainey's shout struck them dead on. Knowing only one Aiden they spun just in time to see their brother receive his first non-family kiss on the cheek. They were litterally floored, as both tumbled from their turns uncerimoniously & landed on their bums. Bewildered expressions blinked at Charl & Clarity. "I'm sorry... what just happened?" Rikku giggled oddly. "Our brother... " She offered with a sheepish grin. Aiden staggered slightly with the sudden warm weight upon him. His head spun lightly as Lainey's moist lips touched his cheek. His arms went gently around her, whether to steady the two of them or to keep the female there he could not say for sure upon looking back at the moment. "Lainey-lass?" He asked tentatively, his voice shaking. "eh... ah... Did I miss something, bonnie-lass?" He blushed deeply. "No' that I dinnae like this..." His words trailed off & he blushed deeper. RavenFyre The girl was blushing crimson herself. Yes, she decided to do this, but she still couldn't believe she had done something this bold, the blush only darkening when she realized that Aiden was holding her in place. Keeping her face a warm breath's away from his, she whispered softly. "I'm keeping your sisters from trotting you around like a horse at market," she repeated his own words back at him. "I... umm... I'm s-sorry, if... i-if you found that uncomfortable... I... I won't do it again if you don't want me to..." she whispered shyly, ducking her head to hide her face against the crook of his shoulder. Kaitaia Clarity turned and looked in the direction the others were. Seeing the spectical, her eyes widened and she flushed slightly, before averting her eyes quickly. She eyed Charl, her green eyes flicking over the her. "Hello," she said, her voice still soft and cool. Natty-Chan Gojyo pulled her against him, wrapping his arms around her and stroking her back softly. He sighed, pressing his cheek against the top of her head. "You shouldn't try to bear the world on your shoulders... it's not good." He said softly, nuzzling the top of her head, "everything will be fine, I know it."
Taking Relm's hand softly when it was put out for her, Charlamagne shook it softly. She had given her a timid, yet warm smile as she looked over to the hopping Rikku. Black ears perked when she too heared the name 'Aiden' exclaimed, blinking as she looked over to see the firework marked female latch herself onto the blue male and kiss his cheek. She looked back to the other two as they took a tumble to the floor, tilting her head curiously, unaware of the situation between the two and their 'brother'. MoochiLove Morgana sighs softly as her tears finally seem to stop, still holding on to him him, "I'll try not too...just some days I want to scream and hope someone can hear me." she whispers, pulling back enough to wipe the rest of the tears from her face, sniffling a little, "Sorry, didn't mean to cry all over you again..." "Nay lass. Dinnae apologize." Though he did not move his arms, the hold loosened so that Lainey could move away should she wish too. The lonely Scotsman hoped she would not, but he dared not hope too much. Especially not when the tune on his 'phones switched tracks & "One Year of Love" began. "Ye surprised me, ye did."Aiden gave her the briefest of hug. "Thank ye, bonnie Lainey." He murmured gently into her ear where Lainey's face hid against his shoulder. "Ye dinnae know what this means to me." He referred both to the kiss & that she was helping him from being paraded by his sisters, though he did not clarify. RavenFyre She didn't think of pulling out of his arms, not as long as he was holding here there however loosely it was. "I... I surprised myself, really..." She couldn't stop the small shiver that worked down her spine when he whispered in her ear, instinctively returning the hug and pressing closer to him. She took a deep steadying breath, taking in the scent of him at the same time, only making her blush darker, the heat of it noticeable from where her face was pressed against his shoulder. "Y-you're welcome..." She spoke just as softly, then pulled back enough to look into his eyes, her own violet ones bright and shy, his cheeks colored a warm red. Deciding to stay on the floor, Relm dusted out her cape & smiled at Charlemagne. "Sorry 'bout that. When you've a brother as shy as ours is..." The artist waved her brush & rolled her eyes -not knowing that Aiden & Charl had once met- "You're not used to his name being shouted out." Rikku flopped to her side, ginning. "I'll say! It's not like calling the more rambunxious ones, where you have to shout just to hear yourself over them. Aiden hears everything it seems." Aiden was pleasantly surprised she had not moved. Instinctively his hands gave her back a gentle rub, not quite a massage. His own yellow eyes were soft & gentle as he gazed into Lainey's violet pools. He thought he should be overly warm, as flushed as he felt with his blushing coupled with her blushing... but he was merely comfortable. His wings fluttered as he thought of what to say.
"Do ye... do ye wish to fly agi'n?" He finally managed to utter.RavenFyre "Nh.." the small sound escaped Lainey when the fireworked patterned girl felt Aiden's hand rub her back, feeling another small shiver work down her spine. No one had ever really held her like this before, and she could feel her heart start to race. She found that she couldn't look away from his eyes, searching them deeply, as if they held an answer to an unasked question. It occured to her then, that like a flip of a switch, something had changed. His voice broke through the spell of her mind, "Ah..? What..?" It took her a moment to realized what he had just asked her, smiling shyly and nodding, "I'd love that." His eyes crinkled slightly as his smile deepened & he drew her closer to him. Aiden was not certain what Lainey might be feeling, but the fact that she had not tried to slip away nor did she seem to want to gave him a strange courage. His own heart was racing as he tightened his arms around her, pulling her stars & stripes colors close to his tartan. "Hold tight." He whispered softly.
He flapped his wings & took off, glad now he had been practicing since their last flight. She felt lighter in his arms. Or perhaps that was his own new lightness."A-ah..!" She took his cue and pressed even closer to him when he pulled her closer, feeling the bodies press flush together at this point. She ducked her head, tucking it under his chin so that she wouldn't be in the way of his line of sight as they took off, squealing in surprise, "Hyahn!" She wasn't sure if she could ever get used to feeling, but it was a pleasant fluttering feeling in the pit of her stomach. "I-it looks different from up here... doesn't it..?" She spoke quietly, almost to herself.Aiden had never felt his heart race with so little physical exertion. Not that he exerted himself often, but he had a good work ethic & was often working in one way or another. Each time Lainey made a noise Aiden felt the need to suck in his breath at the shivers that were sent through his body. He chuckled softly, grazing her ear with his mouth. "Aye. It looks different to me too."
At any moment, he expected Lainey to tell him he had gone too far. He was surprised she had not yet.She could feel his body shivering, or maybe that was her own, she couldn't be sure at this point. But she definately knew that his heart was racing much like her own, which sent little fluttering butterflies to her stomach. "A-ahn.." She felt yet another shiver when he felt his mouth just grace against her ear, said appendage flicking with the sensation. She felt like she was going to burst if she didn't get this whole thing out in the open. "A-aiden.." she could curse herself for the way her voice was trembling, "W-what does all this," she nodded her head to motion the two of them, "W-what does this all mean..? I... I don't want to get the wrong impression."The way her voice trembled caused Aiden to loose a beat with his wings. It was barely apparant to anyone but himself, but he knew he would have to land to be able to answer her properly. But they were airborne & the closest place to rest was his hammock. Trying not to blush or otherwise think he landed, laying them both down. It was not that he was implying anything... it was more that he could not bear to let her go & simply needed to not be flying right at that moment. He certainly did not wish to infringe upon her virtue.
Once he could catch his breath Aiden let out a shakey laugh. "I dinnae know, Lainey-lass. I dinnae wish to give the wrong impression, nor read the wrong impression from ye either." He ran one hand tentatively from the nape of her neck to the small of her back. "I havenae e'er felt like this... but 'tis so sudden. I dinnae know if it be my heart or my flesh that reacts so. I dinnae want to guess wrong, bonnie Lainey." He breathed deeply. "An' ye?" He asked, yellow eyes gentle. "How do ye feel?" Not wanting her to feel pressured he added. "I will take ye to the ground regardless after yer answer. I simply couldnae fly & respond." He chuckled, mildly embarrassed at his shortcoming.RavenFyre Her eyes went wide when he took her to his hammock... then she was laying out in his hammock... and he was laying next to her! H-how was she supposed to react to that?! She was too stunned to even move much, "A-ah... ummm.." she joined him with her own shaky giggling, "I... I guess we were both really caught up in the moment, huh?" Her breath hitched in a soft gasp as his hand smoothed down her back, her instinctive reaction was to arch along his touch, but she forced herself to stop, realizing how immoral that must have looked, like she was trying to rub herself against him, She mulled it over in her mind a few moments, not able to look him directly in the eyes as she thought it all out. How did she feel about all of this..? "I... I would be lying if I said that I didn't feel... c-comfortable in your arms like this... I-it almost seems... natural... B-but you're right... T-this is... this all has happened way too quickly." Violet eyes peeked up at him shyly. "I know I like you, Aiden. You're a very sweet guy, any girl would be crazy not to like you. But... I'm starting to wonder just how much I like you." She took a deep, steading breath to gather the rest of her courage, blushing pink. "I like you more than I first thought I did, obviously... B-but I think... T-that we should slow down. I shouldn't have thrown myself at you like that, no matter the reason. It confused us both a lot, I think. B-but I do... I do think that I would like to get to know you better as more than just a friend..?" She hoped that she hadn't completely overestimated just what Aiden was thinking himself. She didn't think she'd be able to live that embarrassment down. His eyes closed happily. She said everything so well. That she had needed to stammer over her words was not surprising; not if she was feeling half of what Aiden was. All of Lainey's words, & Aiden could only respond simply: "I would like that."
He flickered his eyes open & smiled sadly. "I should get ye back to the ground a'fore more time passes. It wouldnae do for others to think we were doing more than we were." With that he fluttered his wings & lifted them out of the hammock. He flew as casually as he dared & still be timely. He released her gently onto an empty couch, letting his fingers linger on her fur a brief moment more. "I shall be back tomorrow, bonnie lass. Ye willnae be far from my thoughts."
Aiden lifted Lainey's hand while bowing & ever so lightly he brushed his lips to the knuckles, bestowing the most delicate of kisses. Then rising, he let he arm slip to her side & turned away from her. Walking across the room he tapped his dumbstruck sisters on their shoulders & led them home.
Aiden knew he would think of little else but this night for quite some time. Tomorrow he would see if it had been a dream.

Easing out of Trelweny's Empathic Leakage
Relm looked at the canvases filling her studio critically. She did not remember much about painting them. It was almost like painting for Owzer that one time in Jidoor, but more intense & less frightening. In many of the paintings a man's face appeared who smiled with kind eyes, often with a mischievous grin or glimmer in his eyes. A few were darker, showing the loneliness & terror of her human's loss & fear of the future. The young artist felt drained & spent from all her efforts. She had been painting for nearly 24 hours strait & she was exhausted.
As if in a daze she reorganized the paintings. The dark or sad ones were put way carefully, where Trelweny would be least likely to discover them. It was becoming clear to the artistic audio that these were paintings of the innermost thoughts & feelings of her human 'mother'.
The last painting Relm left on the easel. Her gaze kept finding it & smiling softly. I'll frame it. The artist decided touching her brush thoughtfully to her lips. Trel will like it. Humming the song that Celes used to sing, Relm left the portrait of Timex, Trelweny, & Theron sit as a testament for what could have been.

Relm goes 'hunting' Private Guild RP The artist's emotions were still running high. Except for her rash of paintings there were no other signs of the emotional barrage she had been assailed with, however unintentionally. The heightened emotions had lead the artist to decide something, however. She wanted to meet this 'Seifer' whose picture she had seen in the Audio roster. The residual undercurrent's of Trelweny's emotions encouraged her that sooner was better than later. For if it did not pan out as she hoped -and the artist-mage hoped she was right- she could sooner try to get her mind off him & perhaps onto someone else. If she was right... well, more fun times to be had.
Going past the same tree for the fourth time the female removed her red beret with its yellow feather with a sigh of frustration, throwing back her head. Sometimes she hated her independent stubbornness. She did not know why she thought finding the male would be as easy as the time she had followed Grandpa Strago after the fire when they tried to leave her behind. Of course, following was a lot easier than finding. Especially when nothing was known of the quarry.
Placing the beret back on her head jauntily Relm flipped her cloak to remove stray dirt & other signs of wear from it, then brushed off her clothes as well. If she did happen to find him, she wanted to look decent. At least in the shade of the trees it was relatively cool. Relm resisted the urge to cast Ice to cool off. Setting off again, she thought how nice it would be if Gau had been able to teach her some tracking skills or something. Another sigh as she saw the pointlessness of that as well: she still had nothing of Seifer's to go on.
It was foolish, going through all this effort on a picture of someone she had never met. She knew that. Still she pressed on.xx_Bullseye_xx It would seem Relm was a better tracker than she thought. Despite not knowing much about the one she was seeking, her quarry wasn't that far off. In fact, said quarry and his counterpart were walking right towards Relm at this very moment. "Man do you even know where we're going?""Who says we had a destination? We're on patrol, gotta keep the discipline right?""Oh please, you don't even have the rest of your committee!""So?! I can do it alone!"Seifer huffed, giving his darker counterpart a slightly annoyed glare. Sefirex merely smirked and backed off the subject. As much fun as it could be to annoy Seifer, he knew better than to push the wrong buttons. "Yeah yeah whatever you say, so long as we find something interesting soon..."Seifer sighed, knowing that the other's idea of interesting included being in a bed with just about anyone having a good time. "Uh huh...I'm sure we will..." At the sound of voices Relm spun, instantly on the offensive. Her memories of adventuring were not so far from her that the instincts honed from trying to save the world had dulled yet. Her brush was held like a sword in front of her & the corner of Relm's mouth twitched with amusement at how silly she must look even as she prepared for a possible battle. For a brush would look silly as a weapon; to one who did not know the power of her art, at any rate.
Green eyes blazing with excitement & heart pounding she called out with a sure clear voice. "Who's there?"
Expecting something to charge any minute as she gave away her position, the artist waited with almost gleeful anticipation. Anything was better than the growing boredom of walking alone in these woods.xx_Bullseye_xx The boy's ears perked up, both alert to the sound of the voice, though for different reasons. The voice meant someone was there, and to Seifer that meant someone to check up on to make sure they were following the 'rules' he had taken upon himself to set for the area. Sefirex on the other hand took the voice as a chance to have some real fun. "I think the real question here is--""Who are YOU?"Both male Audio made their way through the bushes, quickly breaking into the clearing that held the artist. While Seifer merely raised a brow, Sefirex let out an appreciative whistle. A slight widening of her eyes signaled her surprise at seeing two nearly identical 'Seifer's. They were even more attractive in person than the pictures had shown. She had thought the second image with altered name merely a misspelling of the first when seeing it in the roster. Unless the woods were rigged with trick mirrors. But how then the change of clothes?
She felt her pulse racing faster and the corner of her mouth twitched wanting to smile in success & joy that the artist did not quite want to reveal. The whistle startled her, understanding its meaning even as she was surprised that it was for her. Relm the child had never been whistled at in such a way. She was not sure she liked it, though it made her feel good to think that she would be found attractive rather than cute. Summoning all her acting skills with her clever determination Relm straitened up proudly. "I am Relm Arrowny, once of Thamasa."
Managing to narrow her eyes judiciously at Seifer & Sefirex she feigned ignorance. "Now will you boys be courteous enough to answer a lady's question as to who you are?"
Almost primly but with inner strength hinting at the female's adventuring experience Relm moved her hand to rest on her hip, waiting for their reply. She hoped that the delight that probably shimmered in her eyes would be taken as something else.
Be still my beating heart! xx_Bullseye_xx Seifer and Sefirex glanced at each other. Well, in both their minds they had found something to hold their interest. Though, again, obviously for different reasons. The two looked back to Relm, Seifer offering his name first. "Seifer Almasy, head of the disciplinary committee.""Self proclaimed, of course.""Shut it!"Seifer gave his 'twin' a glare, but the darker clad Audio merely smirked at him in response before offering his own name. "The name's Sefirex, and I'm sure I speak for both of us when I say it's a pleasure to meet you.""Suck up...""What's your point?"The two glared at each other for another moment before breaking into smirks. Relm pressed her mouth shut tightly barely containing her mirth. Green eyes sparkled with giddy excitement. This would certainly be fun. Perhaps even more than she could have imagined. Which was saying a lot.
"If you're not going to attack... it's a pleasure to meet you too." More than you could know. She bobbed a small curtsy, not quite smiling but letting the corners of her mouth curve ever so slightly. Hard, when it felt like her heart was singing. Absently she turned down the music on her headphones so it would not distract her.
Tapping her brush lightly to her mouth, Relm turned her head thoughtfully. Casting them a sideways glance she asked "What is this 'disciplinary committee? I've not heard anything about a disciplinary committee. Or even much on rules for that matter."
She wanted to hear them speak more. Their voices though similar had definitely different tones to them. Somehow -and she was not sure why she thought this- it seemed their words & their underlying 'goodness' were reversed. The one speaking most pleasantly seemed the more dangerous & Relm was curious why she might think that.xx_Bullseye_xx "Attack? No reason to attack, so long as you aren't trying to cause trouble.""Fighting is fun, yes, but not when other fun can be had.""Can you go like..maybe five minutes without thinking of the bedroom?"Seifer stared at the darker version of himself, who merely smirked in response. "Guess not.""Duh, it'd ruin the fun if I stopped thinking about it."Sefirex crossed his arms, while Seifer kept his own by his sides. Relm was right, despite how similar they looked, it was like each took on a personality and role to compliment the other. Though at the time, Sefirex was taking on the 'nicer' role when he was anything but that. "I made the committee, to make sure the Audios around here behave and don't cause too much trouble.""Or you know, follow our idea of the perfect society.""Exactly, and hey it's worked. The place hasn't burned to the ground now has it?""Point..." She wanted to agree -thinking both fighting & 'other' fun to be quite fun, though she had not experienced the later yet- but refrained. Instead Relm faced them nearly full-on again with arched eyebrow for the bedroom comment. Clearly, Sefirex was easy on such matters, but less likely to be able to commit. Which clarified Seifer as the one she wanted to 'work' on. Relm mentally nodded to herself, as she confirmed an initial presumption that she had made upon seeing Seifer's picture.
"So what 'rules' are these? If you don't mind my asking." She wanted to add something about how perhaps it would be more fun if audios cut it up a bit more, but held her tongue. Perhaps the time would come for that thought later. "And how exactly do you reinforce them?"
There was a slight trace of naughtiness in her second question, as her eyes flickered with intelligence & mischief. It could be fun to push the rules, if the resulting retribution was interesting enough.xx_Bullseye_xx "Well...erm...""What he means to say, is so far no one has broken said rules, and therefore we haven't had to reinforce them.""Exactly, and basically the rules are easy...don't screw up the area, and don't get in our way.""Unless, of course, we want you there. Then it's a different story.""Right"The two nodded to each other and Relm as well, smirks finding their way to both the boy's maws. Sefirex at least had similar thoughts about how naughty a punishment could be. Seifer's thoughts were drifting back towards Namine however. "So just be good, got it?""Or don't, no skin off our nose.""Shut it Sefi..." "So the rules are your rules really. Except the common sense one. The other is subject to interpretation & likely your moods at the time & therefore no one could ever hope to intentionally or unintentionally keep or break your rule of "don't get in our way"."
Their banter was kind of cute. Relm almost wished she could read their thoughts. "Don't worry. I'm always good." A completely mischievous look brightened her face. "Though at what, I don't think I'll say just yet."
The problem, Relm knew, with a statement like that was that it could be missleading. That was half the point. She also knew that however much she understood, she was still innocent.xx_Bullseye_xx "Exactly! Hey Seif, this one's pretty smart!""What, ya thought she was stupid?""I didn't say that! It was just an observation, sheesh!!"The two growled at each other a moment before turning their gazes back to Relm. "Good, huh? Why do I get the feeling there's more to that statement...""Probably because there is, duh?""True, but if so things could prove more interesting than we previously thought, yes?""Yep"Sefirex grinned at his lighter half, walking somewhat closer to Relm to get a better look. Seifer hung back, watching the scene closely. Let the dark one get himself into trouble, it wasn't like he was a stranger to it anyway. "So, sweetheart, now that you know just what we do here, may we ask just what it is you do?" How she managed to keep the mischievous look on her face without letting her eyes widen Relm never could guess. The flickers between worry & amusement during their latest back & forth banter likely had been seen, despite her attempts to retain a more neutral facade. She was pleased to not be thought stupid -though she would have become enraged if they had thought her so- but at the same time she was beginning to think that she was if not stupid, rather foolish. After all, who but a fool expected someone to be something from the look of a picture? And who but a fool taunted as she had? Relm grasped her brush tightly, ready to defend herself if she need. Her coy response surprised her. "Wouldn't you like to know."
Although her blood thrummed at the thought of two, her heart & mind reminded her that such was fine only if they were true to her. The artist's heart sank, fearing for perhaps the first time that Seifer & Sefirex were more worldly in experience than she was. That was, if what she thought she saw in Sefirex's eyes was any indicator. Suddenly, Relm wished she had not left Rikku's communicator at home. No matter. She could handle whatever happened. She hoped.xx_Bullseye_xx Sefirex snarled dangerously, greenish eyes seeming to flash as they narrowed in the direction of Relm. "I would like to know, and that's exactly why I asked you...."Despite his thoughts being focused on the bedroom quite a bit, Sefirex also had the tendency to be rather snappy when questioned. "Calm the hell down Sefi, you're just annoyed she can bite back.""Shut up Seif..."Sefirex snarled at his lighter half, who, despite the smirk evident on his face, knew he was treading in dangerous water. They might be 'twins' in a sense, but that didn't stop them from getting into some rather nasty fights. "You shut it Sefi, we barged in on her you know. She has a right to be secretive, however annoying it may be to you.""Whatever...."Growling at Relm one last time, the darker Audio walked back to stand beside his twin. Once there, he turned his still annoyed gaze on Relm, while Seifer turned his own bluish eyes on the female. "Please excuse him, it seems he's not quite fully trained yet.""Like you'll ever fully train me...""Yeah, I like to hold the hopes you aren't a complete loser and can be trained into something worthy."Sefirex snorted in response, keeping his eyes on Relm. Though her worry rose even as Sefirex backed away Relm stood firm. Her green eyes narrowed slightly & a flush that she hoped would be taken as one of anger spread across her cheeks. She did not want to tell them yet about her painting; something within told her that she might yet want the advantage of surprise. And though it was all right to tease or otherwise insinuate sexual prowess, Relm was not about to lie out-right. "I'm sorry to disappoint, but we can't always get what we want, can we? A lady must keep her secrets."
Her face remained hard & rather impassive, but her tone was almost sweet & wistful. No. As her primal side argued with her romantic nature within her, Relm knew that her own wants & desires were foolish; and she was not even now sure what she wanted. The primal force within her wanted to take the males on -together- in a way that she was certain the darker of the two was already contemplating. Worse, when Sefirex growled at her that side seemed to swell as if responding to an unvoiced challenge. Her blood sang beneath her skin. There was a fear of being found inadequate in that department; that perhaps her knowledge would not be enough for what she was starting to believe was their experience level. That fear sided with the romantic in her: the one that wanted one male, just for her. One that she could 'train' -Seifer's word wedged somehow inappropriately in her thoughts so that she could not think of a better one.
Without intending to -for it went against her show of strength- Relm let out a heartfelt sigh. Her imagination had run off with her yet again & she felt bereft in the face of the light & dark twins' reality.Alarmed at her slip, Relm suddenly realized that she wanted to go home. She needed to regroup: to rethink about what it was she wanted. The artist checked her location. The quickest way home was...
Right where Seifer & Sefirex were standing. She paled momentarily then put on a bold face, walking closer to them. "It's been a pleasure meeting the two of you, but I should be leaving. Perhaps another time I'll share my secrets if we've grown more intimate by then."
She was about to wink but paled, stopping still in her tracks as if Stone had been cast upon her. By the Espers... what compelled me to use that word, of all words! Relm, you really stuck your foot in it now!xx_Bullseye_xx "Hey hey hey...not so fast!""Sefi, move..."Seifer growled at his darker half, shoving him out of the way so Relm could pass. "Don't listen to him, you run along home if that's what you want."Seifer smirked at the artist, seemingly amused that he and Sefirex were driving her away, as it were. "Aw cmon Seif, she used the intimate word!"Sefirex grinned, mind once again wandering back to the bedroom. "We could have some real fun if she stuck around!""Can it Sefi, she wants to go home let her. There's others for you to have fun with, it's not like you're picky after all."Sefirex glared at him, but didn't respond...seeing as it was true after all. He could just go find Zexion if he really wanted some fun. "Whatever...."Seifer returned his attention to Relm, same smirk still present on his maw. "I suppose it was nice meeting you too...see you around, just don't cause any trouble."And with that both 'twins' walked off, each casting a rather mischievious smirk at the artist before disappearing off around a corner of the trail. Relm's blush deepened as it was confirmed to her mind that at least one of them was, well... experienced. She cast Seifer a thankful glance even as the twins turned to go. She still was not sure if she did not want to be that type of intimate with them or not. She just did not know.
The artist watched them for a moment, getting her breathing back under control. Then the artist jutted her chin out bravely & continued home.

((Relm reflects on meeting Seifer & Sefirex))
I found not one, but two very hot audios in the woods today. I am starting to think I have made a very big mistake... & I am starting to wonder exactly what it is I want & where my mistake may be.
Seifer & Sefirex... I still feel under perhaps different circumstances Seifer might have been everything I imaginged. That's the problem with painting imagination without the reality: the blending is not always smooth. Like trying to watercolor on an oil canvas. It simply will not turn out right, more likely than not.
The dark one... Sefirex. He is kind of frightening. At least his intents were slightly easier to read.
I don't know anymore.
Would it have been rape if such a big part of me wanted it too? sweatdrop
((might re-write this after writing Relm, Rikku, Aiden RP))

"So what's it going to be, Trel?" Rikku asked eagerly. It had been a while since Aiden flew her through the doors & she had given him a sisterly kiss on the cheek in thanks for the ride. "Quidditch?" The Weasleys pipe up hopefully. "Not all of us have figured out how to ride brooms with our hooves, guys." Their sister Mirage points out, tossing the tails of her scarf. Rikku smiled. The audio was still fascinated that she had family that was cosplaying her & Yuna.
Just apparating in Remus agreed, adding. "Or paws."
Trelweny looked up with a smile. "Ah, Remus! You're just in time." Her eyes twinkled as if suspecting who the wizard had been with. "When Aiden & Rikku got here before you I was tempted to send AearHwesta for you." Remus blanched as his Angelic brother laughed boisterously & winked. Pausing in their talk of Quidditch the Weasley twins chuckled too. "Locke & Aiden convinced me to give you more time."
The highlander blushed red under his tartan fur but the bandit cait beamed. "Goodbyes have te be done right." Locke explained with a nod. Relm rolled her eyes. "Espers, but you're just like him!" "Thank you!" The green cait replies, rubbing against her knees. The artist smiles then. "So tell us, Mother Hen, what are we doing?"
"I've decided... to split up the genders!" There is a big smile on her face as she divulges her plan.
"What?!?" Multiple voices call out at once incredulously. Everyone starts talking at once. Translators, both flesh & mechanical having a time of it.
"Wha' de ye mean, Trel lass?" Aiden's quiet voice pierced the hullabaloo of varied sounds like a warm knife through butter. Everyone leaned in to hear; except the HouseCats.
Trelweny grinned. "I want to give each gender a day to hang out & play together, while those of the opposite gender wait on them." Hearing her family's noise begin to crescendo again the woman holds out her hands. "Now this will only work if no one gats mean about it. Myranda & Grundle have volunteered to oversee things & you know they're fair. Of course Theron & Ambar are exceptions since they can't be parted & they and the baskets are too little to be really part of things. They'll still have to be watched." Tien fluttered into Trel's face. "Ero?"
The young mother laughed. "You & Bozi may play with both groups, Tien." "Yenenin!"
"But who's first?" "We should draw straws." Fred & George interjected.
"Ladies first." Came Aiden's sure soft reply. "Indoubtably." The kitsu wizard was quick to second. Relm, Rikku & Chroma happily glomped the two proudly, & even Trinity beamed. The Weasley's sigh their agreement & Fidelity & Mirage nuzzle their brothers thankfully, knowing they have aquiessed. "Ja. It is best dat way." the mini Gunter added, getting a look of adoration from his sister Renatta.
Glad that it was so easily decided the family matriarch beamed. "Booyaka! With that settled, let's get some sleep! Girls, think of what you'd like to do together tomorrow" Hugging everyone, Trel saw that the baskets were tucked in & gathered Theron & Ambar to get them to bed. She trusted that the other pets would soon do the same. Behind her the girls exchanged bright glances while the males tried to hide their snickers.

After this weekend's 'fun' I suppose there is no denying it any longer: I must get out more again.
I'm missing out on too many things. Perhaps there is something out there that will take my mind off my foolishness... off my failure.
If nothing else, I want to see this "Naruto" Blondie will not stop carrying on about. I sense there will be much fun in watching the two of them together.
Perhaps I will give her a 'push' to see what feelings are really there? wink
Besides, the same four walls do little for my inspiration to paint. Without painting... well. There is little else to do. I've sequestered myself too long. Time to face the music.
