Lenore and Melantha Halloween Bash

Lenore looks around the empty ballroom they have booked, hoping to see the other hostess. She pulls at her long blonde wig with distaste.

Nyoka is behind her, laughing a little, in her own costume. She shakes her head and wanders off to the buffet table.

Melantha dressed as Melificent stepped into the ballroom glancing around. She couldn't believe she was in a dreww, but she had to admit she liked how she looked in it. Her wounds were still bugging her but she wasn't going to miss halloween. This was her favorite hoilday after all.

Aylana looked at her aunt shaking her head "I don't know why you keep yourself hidden Aunt Mel, you look great." she fixes her hair growling at it. She would have to thank her daugthers for coming up with this Rikku costume from Final Fantasy X-2. She was so scared she was going to fall out of the top.

Lenore's pointed ear twitches a little and she turns.

"Aylana!" Nyoka says, in her fake high-pitched voice with a fake Brooklyn accent. She's Harley, after all. She watched many of the Batman cartoons just to get it right, and, indeed, read some of the comics after Harley's appearance. She looks around for her friend. When she spots her, she does a series of complicated looking backflips (she has been practicing) to Aylana, and bounces on her feet. Somehow, she manages to hold onto her cork gun, and takes the picture of Joker out of her mouth. She waves and tilts her head at her cousin.

Lenore rolls her eyes in a very un-Aurora way and makes her way over to he way over to the small group.

Melantha arches a brow stepping back "That not the Nyoka I remember, she way to hyper." she looks over the costume shaking her head before smiling watching Lenore walk towards her. She could spot the beauty anywhere in the room. Smiling she holds her hand out "My dear you look very yummy tonight.."

Aylana had to also step back, she laughs shaking her head "Nyoka when did you become a cheerleader?" she giggles shaking her head then places her hands on her bare hip "Harley from batman very nice..Can you guess who I am?" she brushes her hair from her face then smiles.

"Thank you, but I should have made you dress like this," she says, tugging at the blue dress and flipping, once again, the long blonde hair over her shoulder. "You look good enough to eat, as well," she smiles at her, then reaches over to give her a quick hug. Somewhere, she is still dealing with the guilt of dating while her ex-fiance is still missing. But, she is getting used to this.

"Since," Nyoka announces in the same voice. "I fell in love," she sighs dreamily and bats her eyes. Then, she giggles, and leaves character. "I haven't the faintest idea who you might be, Aylana," she says, looking her over.She, of course, is not into video games.

Meanwhile, Ximena, dressed as Trillian from Kitchhiker's Guide, is pulling a reluctant Rinon into the room. She cornered him and shoved a costume at him.

"I look ridiculous," Rinon hisses as his sister pulls him through the door.

"Now, Zaphod," Ximena chuckles. "You look fine."

Rinon grumps a moment as he looks around.

Lenore, however, turns when she hears her half-siblings, and immediately laughs at her brother. She can't speak for the moment, for she is too busy laughing.

Silver walked into the ballroom, looking around. Red, glowing sigils were all over his body, includeing one in the middle of his forehead that was in the shape of a stylized eye that had no pupil or Iris, just a double spiral inwards. From his forehead jutted two small, broken horns, with blood stains in his fur around them. His eyes were just orbs of green flame with tendrils of black through them (Yes, no eyepatch), and as he breathed small wisps of shadowstuff drifted out of his mouth.

Nyoka turns when she hears someone come in. She looks past her aunt and uncle, and sees. . . . Silver? Her eyes widen comically in her head, though if that is part of her character or not, it is really up for debate.

Rinon practically jumps into his sister's arms and shouts. "Goddess above, what the hell is that?"

"Rinon," Nyoka says, in her usual voice, and sends him a hard stare. She looks at Silver again, and says, "Er . . . hi?"

Melantha smiles then looks over hearing the other, she couldn't help but laugh seeing Rinon. She had to admit he look very intresting. Turning back she smiles "I would look good in that dress like you do Lenore..I'm not a dress person."

Aylana laughs then shakes her head pushing her hair from her face again "My daughters dressed me, my mother, and Tinania up. I'm-"

"She Rikku from final fantasy X-2." Tinania giggles as she walks up, she was dressed as Yuna from X-2 also. She smiles holding her fake gun in her hand. "I'm Yuna from X-2 also.. and mum.." she looks around then frown running back over to the entrance. "MUM!!! COME ON!!!"

Krista frowns as she comes into the ballroom "Tinania I feel stupid..." she tries very hard to hide her pushed up cleavage thanks to the dress. She was still trying to figure out how she got talked into this.

Walking back over holding her mother's hand Tinania smiles "And mum is Lulu from final fantasy ten. Doesn't she look hot? I don't know why she keeps herself hidden all the time.." she sticks her tongue at her mother then turns "Hey Nyoka you look cute as Harley..." she turns then heads off to look around.

Krista sighs pushing her bangs from her face as best as she could. She looks around wondering who all was here. She arches a brow hearing Rinon voice then spots him before turning to look at the person who enter. She shivers then shakes her head.

Silver, giving a mischevious wink to Nyoka, drops back down to all fours and gives a bonechilling howl, nails digging into the ballroom floor slightly as he laid his ears back. Lets see how that stirs up everyone.

Rinon shrinks into his sister, and Ximena shakes her head. "Baby, it's just a puppy," she says. She works at a bar that has scarier come in, and she smiles at silver.

Lucky for Damien, he happens to walk in just as Silver gives the howl, and his back straightens. He can feel the hair on the back of his neck standing on end, and he just stares at Silver. "Er . . ." he says, in his soft voice, which is even softer now that he is severely freaked out. "Did I come at a bad time?"

"I think you would have been prettier in this," Lenore grumps. She has never wanted to be a princess, ever. So, this is a change for her. She grins at Melantha, anyway, and takes her hand. She waves to her son when he enters.

"That she does," Nyoka winks at Tinania. "You might want to go save your fiance, Auntie. And, you all look great!" she adds.

Then, adopting her Harley voice after a wink to those around her, she does the backflips again over to Damien, whom is dressed as a Musketeer. "Damien!" she hugs him. "Meet your love dumplin's brother!"

Damien swallows visibly, and grabs his sister's arm. He didn't recognize Silver. . . .

Aylana jumped hearing the howl then turns seeing Silver, her eyes widen and she shook her head "What in bloody hell got into him?" she frowns placing her hands on her hips. If she wasn't in this outfit she would have went over and kick him in the a**.

Krista laughs then nods heading towards Ximena smiling "Hello you two, how are you this evening?" she smiles then bows to them only to cause her cleavage to be show even more before standing back up "Mind if I steal him from you?" she holds her hand out to Rinon smiling.

Tinania yelps covering her ears then looks over glaring seeing Silver caused the howl, she was about to go over to give him a piece of her mind when she saw Damien. Squeeling she ran over leaping at Damien hugging him "Mein OH MY GOD!!!"

Melantha smiles then pulls Lenore closer to her nibbling at her ear before whispering "Don't worry I take you out of the dress soon.." she winks then looks towards the entrance waving to Damien then arching a brow at the howler.

Creeping on all fours, Silver padded his way over to damien, makeing mock growling sounds, sniffing at his arms and chest as he circled around him, tail motionless, before wispering in his ear. "You and my sister have fun?" With that, he stood up, padding over to aylana, winking. "Well, your quite the scrumptious sight tonight Aylana. If I wasn't taken, well, lets just say you wouldn't be staying at the ball long."

Damien clings to Nyoka until Silver goes away, and then is attatcked again. He almost falls over, but manages to hug Tinania back. "Hello," he says, smiling a little.

Rinon moves away from his sister when he sees Krista, and is about to speak when she bows. "Ah. . . ."

"Yes, you can have him," Ximena says. Good riddance," and she walks off in search of booze.

Lenore chuckles, and tilts her head a little. "That sounds pormising," she says, ignoring her best friend for the time being. She is unsure whether they are on speaking terms or not. But, since Krista hasn't spoken to her, she thinks they aren't. At least she showed up, right?

She shakes her head, and turns her attention back to Melantha. "Of course, if we were to get into character, I think you and I would hate each other for a bit. . . ."

Tinania pulls back then giggles, she truely played the part of Yuna way to well. "I thought you were still at school, when did you get back? And great costume." she places the fake gun in it holster then tilts her head giggling.

Krista smiles then tilts her head looking at Rinon "Hello Rinon you look very handsome. I'm guessing Ximena dressed you?" she giggles then leans in kissing his cheek.

Aylana steps back then smirks tilting her head so the hair hide her cleavage "Not again in a million years Silver, so keep dreaming. So who are you suppose to be?" she pulls at her gloves then fixes the so called sleeves.

Melantha smiles tilting her head as she runs her finger over Lenore's cheek "Oh but hating you darling would be a sin.." she leans in brushing her lips against her.

Silver just laughed, and looked over at Lenore, waveing a little to her and the woman with her. "Never ever ever?" He gives an innocent grin, streaching a little. "What do you think of my costume?" As he talked, the shadowy wisps flowed out a little and down, as if they were heavier then air, but the never lasted long.

"I got back weeks ago," Damien admits, smiling sheepishly. He is still thinking about what Silver asked before he left, and blushes a little. He shakes his head. "So, how have you been, Nani?" he asks.

Nyoka wanders off to the buffet table again.

Rinon shakes his head. "I look riduculous," he says again. "Have you seen this movie? This guys is an idiot," more grumbling follows before he pulls himself out of it. "But, you look very lovely." he says, keeping his eyes off of her chest. it isn't proper to look, anyway.

Lenore laughs as she puts her arms around Mel. She returns Silver's wave, then says to Melantha throatily, "Aren't we in a mood, tonight?" her heavy-lidded eyes lowering a little. "This party might lose it's hosts if you keep on this track. . . ."

Tinania frowns shaking her head "Well with Kira moving in with Drake and they expecting a child soon I've taken over Kira's classes. Its bloody hard. Then this new guy Justin not helping it out because he likes to pick on me. So I'm busy only worse.." she pokes him then laughs "You been home for weeks and you never came to say hi to me?" she pouts then winks "So how are you and Rhia doing?"

Aylana smiles then nods "Never ever I wanna keep my life Silver thank you..." she looks over him over then nods smiling "Very intresting and yet its not a costume.." she whispers the last part so only he could hear it. She glances over seeing her sister head towards the buffet table.

Krista shakes her head then frown "No I haven't seen the movie, work been keeping me busy with the upcoming holidays and such. And you don't look riduculous Rinon..I do.." she blushes placing her hand on her chest in hopes to hide it.

Melantha purrs then winks as she wraps her arms around Lenore's waist "Mmm is that a promise because if it is I'll keep it up.." she runs her hand slowly alone her waist.

Silver smiled, and gave aylana a quick hug. "Well, i'm off to cause more terror! See you later!" Dropping to all fours, Silver gave another howl, and charged into the crowd on all fours, giving mock growls, making sure to rub up against Rinon when he passed.

Nyoka shakes her head as Silver leaves. She watches as Rinon stiffens, and Damien visibly moves closer to Tinania.

Damien smiles again at Tinania. "I'm sorry, I got busy," he explains, and he keeps his face passive when Tin asks about Rhiannon. "We are . . . well," he says, smiling a little wider. "Anyway, it sounds like you have a full life right now," he observes, taking off the feathered hat from his head and shaking out his hair a little.

Rinon shakes his head and smiles. "I don't think you look bad at all," he says, taking her hand. "Just hold onto that thought when you think you look stupid. Do you want a drink?" he adds.

Lenore grins devilishly and tugs on the collar of Mel's cape. "Yes, it just might be," she says.

Tinania blushes then shrugs "Hey I'm getting paid and I'm working with magic. What is better then that? Only thing I have to worry about is avoiding certain people.." she shrugs then plays with the feather in her hair. "I miss talking to you Mein, were both so busy now..I kindof miss being a kid where I got to sit in your lap.." she miles then tilts her head "Feel like dancing?"

Aylana shakes her head watching Silver roam off "What has happen to you brother?" sighing she walks over then lays her head on Nyoka's shoulder "You having fun sis?"

Krista blushes then nods "Yes please I think that might be the only thing I can do. Eating in this might be hard.." she laughs running her finger along his neck. She spots her sister and Lenore before turning away from them.

Melantha smiles then looks over towards her sister then back to Lenore "I feel bad for pulling you away from Krista, we should go say hi to her along with your brother.." she pulls Lenore towards the others.

Damien shrugs. "Sure," he says, and offeres her his arm.

Nyoka turns and looks at Aylana. She swallows the bit of cake she had in her mind (for some reason, she actually wanted something sweet), and smiles in a very Harley way. "I'm having loads of fun," she says in her IC voice. "I just wish my puddin' was here," she sighs sadly at that, and winks.

Then, very normally, she says, "What about you? Have you tried to food yet. Yummy."

Lenore glances at Krista, and then shakes her head. "You didn't do it," she says. "Besides, if she wanted to talk to me, she would have. I think I should just give her some space," she smiles a little at that.

Rinon chuckles, and says. "I'll be right back, then."

Tinania takes his arm laying the other on top of it "I think I'm almost close to solving this curse. But I feel like I'm missing one puzzle piece, and I don't know what at all..." she looks over at the floor frowning when she see it formal dancing right now.

Aylana laughs shaking her head "I am not ever going to be use to you being so hyper.." she nudges her sister then looks towards the food "No I haven't tried any of it. I got so use to the food back in greece.." she laughs then tilts her head "You should come see this palace I'm staying at.."

Krista nods then stands there pushes the braids from her shoulder, she glances over at her sister and her best friend. She wanted to talk to Lenore but she still felt hurt because of what happen.

Melantha frowns "I know I didn't but I still wish you two would talk. Come on she alone let go talk to her..." she pulls at Lenore's hand heading towards Krista.

"Mel, leave it," Lenore says, softly as she is pulled over to Krista.

"How do you know you are close?" Damien asks Tinania, tilting his head to the side as the dance.

"I am always like this!" Nyoka says, Harley voice and all as she dances from one foot to the other.

Then, she shoots her gun at Aylana. The cork is aimed at her shoulder. "You are in Greece and you have not come to see me?" she asks, frowning a little.

Tinania shrugs "I just know I am. Everything I have written down and the different potions. But there still one thing missing and I can't find it.." she twirls then tilts her head "I know if I'm able to get into that secert room at my grandfather I would find the answer.." she continues dancing.

Aylana blushes then laughs pushing her hand though her hair "I kindof didn't have a choice, when I got there I was attending a welcoming party and well...that was intresting to say the least.."

Krista looks up seeing Melantha come towards her with Lenore, she looks around wondering what happen to Rinon. She smiles alittle then nods "Evening you two..."

Melantha nods her head then looks to Lenore "I think you two need to talk, or I'm not gonna be able to be happy later.." she winks then walks off towards where Rinon headed

Damien stiffens visibly, and shakes his head. "I do not believe going to your grandfather is a good idea," he states.

"No excuses. I have a kingdom to run, and I can still get away," Nyoka says, normal again.

Lenore shifts uncomfortably on her feet. "Hello," she says, not looking at Krista, but her eyes following Melantha.

Rinon looks up and sips his drink when Melantha approaches. When she is at his side, he looks over at her and says, "I was going to do the same thing if Krista was stillbeing stubborn when I got back," he says, smiling a little.

Ala walks into the ballroom pushing her Son ahead of her who is visibly trying to stay back "If you had decided your own costume earlier you wouldn't have been stuck with what was left on the shelves" she tells him

"Didn't mean you had to buy mine for me" Surion whines holding hte long cloak tightly around himself obviously not wanting to show off his costume. He even had the hood pulled up, the cloaked looked bulky on him and hte bits of his hair that stuck out of hte hood sparkled a lil

Tez giggles and zips in over their head flying a big circle around the room

Tinania arches a brow then smiles "Why not? He been helping me out alot, without him I wouldn't have gotten as far as I have." she twirls away from him then back "I don't get why everyone hates him..."

Aylana blushes again then picks up a drink taking a sip "Sorry sis but really I couldn't leave, I was kindof trapped under someone..." she blushes even more then looks away.

Krista bites her bottom lip then coughs alittle "Lovely party you have here Lenore. You did an amazing job..." she looks up frowning wonder if Rinon was coming back.

Melantha smiles then picks up a drink sipping it herself "They been friends too long to let this happen. Plus with everything going on there gonna need eachother more along with us." she looks over at him then arches a brow "Who the hell dress you up in that?"

"Nani," Damien sighs and stops dancing. "He is bad. And, I am afraid, if you are going to keep talking to him, and possibly putting all of us in danger, I can't really be around you as much as we used to." He looks pained over this, and shakes his head. "It isn't an ultimatum or anything like that, I just can't see eye to eye with you on him. He is a dangerous person. It is the equivilent of me hanging out with my granddad. . . ."

"Everyone is getting sex but me," Nyoka blurts, not meaning too, and is glad that the white face paint will cover up the blush she feels spreading. "Erm, scratch that," she smiles a little and turns away. She stuff some more cake in her mouth. When she sees Ala and Sur, she waves, and, with a full mouth, says, "Hullo! Wel'um 'o 'he party!" spilling crumbs out of her mouth.

"Ah, thanks," Lenore says. She clears her throat and stands, quietly, for a moment. "Look, I know you don't want to talk to me, so I think I am going to go look for Melantha again. . . . I'll send Rinon along if they are talking."

Rinon nods. "Yeah, they will. I just hope they patch things up tonight." Then, he blushes. "Ah, my sister, unfortunately. . . ."

Tinania steps back letting the word register then she frowns "Mein he been nothing but kind to me since a kid. He even protected me from getting hurt by his own death eaters. I can't help but trust him..." she pauses shaking her head "I've never disagreed with you when it comes to anything. But I can't see this person you talk about being so evil..." she looks away and sighs.

"Some meeting again..." she looks up then smiles seeing Ala and Surion. Looking at Damien she bows "Thank you for the dance Mi'lord I should go see Surion..." turning she runs away from Mein darting between people waving to Surion and Ala "Hey glad you two could make it.."

Aylana eyes widen then smiles leaning against the table picking up a cookie to nibble on "You know if you really need to get laid. I have a few friends..." she nudges her sister then waves to Ala and Surion.

Krista nods then shakes her head grabbing Lenore's sleeve "No Lenore we need to talk..." she frowns alittle biting her bottom lip. "Please?"

Melantha nods then sighs "Me too otherwise when my family along with the rest do strike we will fall.." she looks over then laughs "Next time come to me if you want a costume...I would have dressed you up as Prince Charming or something..." she winks then looks over waving to the newcomers.

Surion looks around, he recognizes about half the people he sees. "Oh Visha" he squeaks seeing Nani coming towards them and he pulls the cloak tighter blushing lightly

"Good day Tinania" Ala greets the teen with a smile knowing her son was stuck being there now

Before Nani leaves him, Damien manages to get a few more words in. "When the stark realty hits you, remember what his own daughters and your aunt have said about him from the beginning. I am only sorry that he is using you this way," with a nod to Surion and Ala, he goes to join his sister.

Nyoka swallows the cake. "If a certain someone in my family can 'get laid,' as you say, then I think I can on my own, thank you very much," she says with increasing dignity. "Besides, I am waiting."

Lenore nods. "Look, I know I have appologized, and explained my situation, but what I did was not right. . . . And, I can only appologize again."

Rinon chuckles. "I think next time, I will not wear a costume, if it is all the same to you," he says, taking another drink from his cup.

Tinania looks back at Damien rolling her eyes then smiles looking at Surion "So what are you suppose, Darth Vadar or something.." she tilts her head then pokes him "So what are you hiding?" she pulls at the cloak alittle then pulls out her wand "Come show me.."

Aylana arches a brow then laughs "Its not like I had a choice. But it was nice.." she giggles then smiles to Damien "Hey what happen to you to?" she tilts her head towards Tinania "You two seem fine just a few minutes ago.."

Krista shakes her head then smiles "No I shouldn't have snapped like I did. I just felt so lost and shocked when I found out. I was really close to Dubledore, almost like a father." she gulps hard shaking her head "I don't want to lose the next person I'm closest to because of a fight..I'm really sorry.."

Melantha laughs then downs the rest of her drink "What the fun of halloween if you don't dress up?" she nudges him then looks over "Think they made up yet?"

Ala leaves Surion sure in the fact that at some point he wouldn't have that cloak and wanders further intot he room, she's dressed as a wench, with her long skirt bodice and low on the shoulders top

Surion shook his head lots "No I'm not...." he clung tightly to the cloak looking up at her, the lights caught the sparkles in his hair as he shook his head

"Nothing," Damien grumbles, and turns away from Aylana to grab some food.

Lenore nods. "You weren't the only one who was close to him." She says this quietly. "But, I feel the same as you. I don't want this to drive a wedge between us. You are my closest friend. . . ."

Rinon shrugs at Melantha's thoughts about Halloween. Then, he shakes his head. "I don't know. There hasn't been the drawing of wands, and I don't hear any shouting. I think we might have gotten lucky. . . ."

Aylana arches a brow then nudges Nyoka "That didn't sound like nothing. Wanna try that agian Damien, its its about Tinania you can tell me please.." she looks towards her sister arching a brow then back at Damien slightly confused.

Seeing the sparklies Tinania arches her brow "Yes you are now come on show me.." she turns looking towards her Auntie "Aunt Lenore cand I get some help here?" she looks back toward Surion trying to pull the cape off.

Krista sighs then pushes one of the braids back up her shoulder "Can we just get pass this. I hate not talking to you at all. Your my best friend without you I don't knwo where I be right now.." she looks down laughing alittle.

Melantha smiles nodding then places her glass down looks at Rinon "Shall we go back and join them then?" she offers her arm to him smiling.

Surion squeaks letting go with one hand to cough once before trying to stop it, the hood of hte cloak falling showing off his sparkle infested hair, sparkles anywhere Ala could get him to sit still long enough for

Damien shakes his head. When Nyoka hisses at him, he sighs, and nods. "She keeps visiting her grandfather," he says softly. "I told her I couldn't talk to her if she kept on." He shrugs and starts to eat again.

Nyoka whistles a little, and reaches for her drink. She looks at Aylana with raised eyebrows.

Lenore nods at Krista and holds out her hand. When she hears her name, she turns slightly, though, and raises an eyebrow. "Help with what?" she asks.

Rinon grins, and takes Melantha's arm. "I think we shall," he says.

Aylana arches a brow looking at Damien then to her sister before back to Damien "Your kidding me right? Doesn't she know he dangerous?" she looks towards her baby sister frowning. Turning back to Nyoka she smiles "Wanna help me out putting some fear into her heart?"

Krista takes Lenore's hand then glances toward Tinania shaking her head "Sprite leave him alone..." she laughs then pushes her bangs from her face.

Tinania frowns then sticks her tongue at her mother. Turning back her eyes widen seeing all the sparklies in Surion's hair "Okay that it this bloody cape is coming off.." she pulls her wand out aiming at the cape.

Melantha smiles walking towards Lenore and Krista. She glances at Rinon then back at the ladies "Okay have you two made up or do I have to steal him again?"

Surion went a lil wide eyed whent he wand pointed in his direction "What.. are you doing?" he asks staring nearly cross eyed at the tip of it

"If it will save poor Surion, I think I am in," Nyoka says, winking at Aylana.

Damien shakes his head, and grumps about the buffet. Just great, what did he start?

Lenore smiles again when Mel and Rinon return. She puts an arm around Mel, and looks up at her. "I think we are fine," she says, looking over at Krista for conformation.

Rinon, too, follows his sister's gaze.

Aylana smiles then leans down kissing Damien's cheek then whisper "You did the right thing Mein.." turning back she takes Nyoka's hand walking towards Tinania.

Tinania looks up then smiles towards her two older sister "You two come to help me.." she places the wand away then pulls at the cloak again "Surion come on. It can't be that bad..." her wings fluttered as she tried to pull the cape off.

Krista smiles then lays her head on Rinon's shoulder wrapping her arms around his waist "Yes everything better now. And you can't kidnap him because you have to kidnap Lenore don't you?" she winks then looks to Rinon smiling then waves to Ala "Hey Ala get your butt over here..."

Melantha smiles then nods "Yes yes I do.." she pulls Lenore close leaning in to brush her lips lightly against Lenore.

Surion gave up and let her pull it off his ears rather red as she did, he looks at hte floor and mumbles "Mum got it, said it was all left" he tells her, his outfit turned out to be knee-high boots with cuff, a pair of beige leggings and a tunic that stopped at hte bottom of his groin, and to top it off a pair of wings... fairy style...

Why do I feel so rotten, then? Damien thinks, and looks for something to drink.

"Hey, I think I have a say in who can kidnap me, thank you very much," Lenore says, shaking her head and laughing before planting a kiss on Mel's lips, herself.

Nyoka stands behins Aylana, staring with amazement at Surion. She hides a laugh, turning it into a furious coughing fit, and turning away.

Meanwhile, Rinon is his quiet self as he runs his fingers over Krista's back, listening to the conversation around him.

Aylana just stood there eyes widen as she looked at Surion. She had to bite her bottom lip hard not to laugh. She smiles then looks at Tinania "Um..me and Nyoka need to talk to you.." she places her hand on Tinania's shoulder.

Tinania squeels then smiles "Aww Surion you look so cute. You look like the male fairies at the garden." she leans down poking his nose then looks up at her sister arching her brow "Um sure.."

Melantha laugsh alittle running her finger over Lenore's bottom lip "Keep it up and I'll be taking you here and now.." she winks then runs her other hand up Lenore's back.

Krista giggles then looks up at Rinon smiling "You okay love? Your so quiet tonight.." she runs her fingers along his neck then brushes them against his ear.

Ala settles onto a couch propping her feet up just watching it all

Surion blushes he looks up towards Nani as she turns away, he couldn't believe his mum actually had purchased that particular outfit

Lenore blinks, and looks over at Krista and Rinon. "I think the hostesses need to leave for a bit," she says, smiling a little.

Nyoka waits to follow Aylana's lead on this one.

Rinon smiles a little, and shrugs. "I think this outfit has sapped my intelligence out of me," he says, chuckling a little.

Aylana pulls Tinania away from Surion towards the window before turning to her. "What this that your talking to mum's father. You do knwo he dangerous right?" she places her hand on Tinania's shoulder who pulls away.

"There is nothing wrong with grandfather. He really nice to me Aylana, he been helping me. Beside what does it matter to you or Mein? I'm not gonna stop seeing my grandfather now drop it.." she turns to walk away from both Nyoka and Aylana.

Melantha smiles winks "She won't be back.." she turns then lifts Lenore and moves quickly though the people leaving the ballroom.

Krista jaw drops before she starts laughing. Looking up at Rinon she smiles "Can you believe those two? Leaving there own party.." she runs her finger along his bottom lip.

Surion looks left then right unsure of what to do, he wanders over to a nearby wall and sits down looking out around the room

Damien pulls himself out of his stupor, and sees the sparkly boy all alone. Shaking his head, he walks over to him. "Hello," he says, smiling in a friendly manner.

Nyoka reaches out to grab at Tinania's arm. "We are not as easily walked away from as my brother, Tinania," she says in a voice that clearly says she means business. Her own eyes are hard, which Tinania is probably not accustomed to. In fact, they flash the glowing green for a split second. "You will stand here and have a civilized discussion with your sister and I."

Lenore giggles as she is carried away, pulling off her wig and tossing it to the floor before she disappears.

Rinon is laughing again and looks down at Krista. "I think our sisters have that sort of spirit," he says, simply. Then, with a twinkle in his eye, he leans forward and kisses her neck. "I think we should elope," he whispers against her ear.

Tinania pulls away from Nyoka her own eyes flashing black with anger "I don't have to listen to you Nyoka. Your not my mother nor is Aylana. When my mother tells me to stop seeing my grandfather then I wil.." she glares at them both.

Aylana shakes her not saying anything she step back to let Nyoka though. She knew what was going to happen, she had seen this alot when it came to her sister.

Krista eyes widen as she looks up at him not able to say anything at first then smiles brightly "Are you serious Rinon?" she was hoping he was.

Surion looks up at the figure who spoke "Hi Damien" he says after he recognizes him and give Damien a smile "Long time no see"

"Ah, yes, well," Damien smiles nervously, and glances over at the commotion. "I've been away, and busy. . . . Terribly sorry to not have dropped by or anything. . . ." his brow furrows. "Ah, do us a favor? Close your eyes for a bit?" He looks over at Surion, the nervous smile still on his lips. "It'll just be for a few minutes. Anyway, how have you been? I like your costume," he says in such a genuine way, he can't be lying.

Without thinking on it, Nyoka pulls back her hand, and slaps Nani. "Listen to me, little one," she says, trying hard to keep her cool. "I do not have my crown on, which is unfortunate for you. My suggestion for keeping a certain unfortunate event from happening to you is that you keep your tongue in check when speaking to your elders." She straightens her back and closes her eyes, counting to three and taking deep breaths. "Have you told your mum that you are seeing Lucius?" she asks. "Have you been seeing my mum's father, as well, then?"

"Yes," Rinon says, smiling, and pulling her closer. "We can go as soon as tonight, if you like," he adds.

Tinania cries out softly covering her cheek when she got hit. She was glaring at Nyoka before speaking up "No I haven't seen Voldermort, grandfather won't let me anywhere near him. So you don't have to worry about that. I've only met my uncle and my step grandmother.." she pauses not answering the first part of the question.

Aylana frowns then looks at Lenore "Mum doesn't know otherwise she wouldn't be sneaking out during the mornings." she turns looks at Tinania her face hard "Tinania your putting us all in danger.."

Krista wraps her arms arouns his neck kissing him lightly pulling away alittle to look into his eyes "Then let leave right now, tonight..."

Surion quirks a brow confused but humors Damien and closes his eyes covering his mouth coughing a couple times, he'd gotten over hte worst of it all, but thanks to what had happened the day before the cough had remained "I've been ok I guess, lots happened in my life becoming a hunter growing up and such..." he pauses "Uhm thanks, Mum didn't know about halloween till like this morning, it's all she could find"

He nods. "I know how that goes," he mumbles. "Sometimes I wish I were a kid again. . . ." But then, Damien smiles a little. "Halloween is my mum's favorite holiday," he says. He then frowns a bit. "Are you feeling well?" he asks.

Nyoka shakes her head, and takes calming breaths again. "You silly, silly girl," she says. "I know Damien and I have had this pounded into our heads since birth, I cannot think that Krista would do otherwise with you," her eyes flash again. "Let me tell you exactly the kind of man Lucius is. He almost killed your mum, and mine. He is my grandfather's lap-dog. There is a saying: You are who you hang with. And, let me tell you, my grandfather almost killed me. He has killed others, and your grandfather has been in on it. What does that tell you about Lucius?" she asks, her eyes flashing yet again. "He is every bit as bad as those Death Eaters. He is the ring leader. Your sister is right, you are putting us all in danger. And, if any of my family is harmed because of you, I will hunt you down and seek revenge on you myself. And, believe me, you do not want that. Is that clear?" she asks. Then, she adds, "I am letting your mum know what you have been doing."

Rinon nods, grinning, and then kisses Krista deeply. "Let's go," he says, taking her hand.

Tinania took a small step back fear creeping into her eyes. She didn't want to believe any of what Nyoka just said. With a nod she gulps hard not saying anything. Her wings fluttering fast giving her fear away even more. What if she was a pawn, it explained why her grandfather kept asking all those questions.

Aylana placed her hand on Nyoka's shoulder watching Tinania "She not kidding Tinania. He just using you and once he down he'll get rid of you.." she shakes her head "None of us want that to happen so please don't go back.."

Krista took his hand smiling brightly. She laughs leaning in then whisper "What about everyone here?"

Surion looks up at Damien "Tehres lots of times I wish I was older... perhaps we can trade ages" he jokes "Sorta... I caught the cold Nani had, was gettig over it, was worst the worst part It hink... Thanks to dad's horrid mixtures.. but yesterday my uncle's spirit showed up able to be out of hte abyss of hte other side thanks to halloween and I think I made him mad cause he hurt me" Surion moves a hand self-coonsciously over his chest over his injured lung almost as if to protect himself

Damien chuckles. "With age, comes responsibility," he says, nodding a little. "Treasure your time now, seriously. You will regret it when you get older if you don't."

Then, he lifts a brow. "How did he hurt you?" he asks, curious. Ever the adacemic. . . .

Nyoka's eyes soften a little in the face of the fear she sees and, indeed, smells coming from Nani. She sighs. "I am sorry, Tinania. He will kill you once you are of no further use to him. Please, tell us what you have been doing while you are with him? What have you been telling him. . . . However small. We will be the judge of whether you gave him something big or not. . . ."

"The hostesses left. I think my nephew and your daughter are in the capable hands of Nyoka and Aylana. We can sneak away," he chuckles. "We've put this off for long enough, already." He tugs on her hand and tries to navigate her out of the room.

Tinania pushes her hand though her hair "Nothing honest. He lets me come over to use his books for research. He only asked me once about the haven and I told him I couldn't tell him. He said her understand and never brought it up again. He ask me how I was doing when it comes to teaching. He proud of me, he said so himself.." she pauses shaking her head before looking down "I swear he doesn't want to hurt me..."

Aylana arches a brow, this didn't sound like the granfather she knew, she leans in whispering to Nyoka "She telling the truth, he not hiding anything in her mind at all.." she looks back to Tinania now very confused.

Krista nods agreeing with him following him though the crowd, pulling out her phone she dials Lenore's number hoping she would pick up.

Lenore and Melantha Halloween Bash ~ Cont

Surion hesitated in telling glancing briefly at Nani then back to Damien "Reached in my chest and squeezed my lung" he says in a near whisper as if saying it again wll bring his uncle appear there

Ala had by this time curled up leaning against the corner of hte couch the top of her head and her horns all that was truely visible over the arm of hte couch, she had dozed off

"Gods, some uncle," Damien says, whistling softly. "How did you get him away from you?"

Nyoka shakes her head. She watches as Krista and Rinon leave. "Looks, Nani," she starts. "I know you want to believe that everything he does is genuine, but it isn't. As far as I know, he could want you for the same reason he kidnapped your mother when you were young. You both have a curse that would be beneficial for their side to have with them." She pauses. "I am keeping my eye on you until your mum returns, whenever that may be. Until your mum tells you that you can, you aren't going to see your grandfather. . . ."

Rinon watches Krista, curiously, as she pulls out her cell phone and dials.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the line, Lenore is lying flat on her back, releiving stress, when the bloody phone rings. She curses, and gently pushes Mel off of her. "Let me just check who it is. . ." she says, mildly irritated. When she sees the name on her caller ID, she flips the phone open. "My son and daughter had better be on fire, Kris. . . ." she says, reaching over to caress Mel.

Tinania frowns crossing her arms under her chest then looks away "Fine I won't see him then." she looks down pushing her hair from her face.

Aylana smiles then walks over tipping Tinania chin up so she could see her eyes "Tinania you don't want anything to happen to us. What if something happen to me, Nyoka, mum, or Damien. Could you forgive yourself.." when she see the tear creep into Tinania eyes then she shakes her head Aylana smiles. "Good this is for the best. Were your family. He maybe blood but he not family.."

Krista laughs then looks at Rinon "No but if you don't get both your butts down here your not going to be able to attend mine and Rinon wedding..were eloping" she moves to Rinon's side squeezes his hand again.

Melantha frowns then leans over running her hand along Lenore's stomach as she nibbles at her neck "What does Krista what can't she wait...?"

"He's a spirit, a ghost, he's dead, dad crushed his heart years ago. Normally he's stuck in the abyss having been banished there with my other uncle, I didn't get him away, one of the necromancers showed up and did, they are in charge of the spirits... Or so mum says, they have rules, they may taunt and torment, but never touch or cause physical harm" he says balling part of the front of his tunic in his hand closing his eyes shivering, part of him did not want Nani to find out, but at hte same time part of him did as she had been there most of his life to protect him, only when he was at the cliffs had she not.

Damien blinks. "I am sorry you had to go through that," he says, softly, unable to think of anything else to say.

Nyoka nods. "That's good. To insure that you don't, I will be sticking very close to you," she says, smiling just a little.

At those words, Lenore sits up. She shoots a grin at Mel, and motions for her to get out of bed. "Tell me where, and we will be there," she says, grinning.

She then puts her hand over the phone. "Kris and Rinon are eloping," she explains, excited.

Tinania eyes widen as her jaw drop "Are you serious? That like grounding me.." she frowns looking away.

Aylana laughs then shakes her head "We could do worse Nani. So I would just go along with it.." she winsk then ruffles the mumbling teenager's hair.

Krista tells Lenore where then hangs the phone up looking at Rinon "Our sisters will be joing us also.." she leans up qickly kissing him then smiles "Shall we get out of here?"

Melantha smiles climbing out of the bed pulling her clothes back on "No way its about damn time." she laughs then pulls her hair back into a braid.

Surion nods "Thanks" he replies but says nothing else, he doesn't really know what to say either and hopes to change the topic.

Nyoka smiles in a rather scary way, and says, "I think I have demonstrated just how mean I intend to get. Grounding is a cake walk compared to what I could do," she agrees with Aylana.

Rinon nods, and allows Krista to lead the way. He grins at her, squeezing her hand before pulling her close to him again as they walk.

Lenore had the sense to get them to the manor. As a result, she is quite pleased that she does not have to dress in her costume again for such a special occasion.

But, she hesitates, and looks at Mel. "Yes, it is about time," she says, absently, before tilting her head. "Is that your costume again? I don't know if I should wear mine or not. . . . Do you think they will stop and change? I should have asked." She chuckles and shakes her head, before starting to dress in her undergarments.

"So," Damien says, rocking on the heels of his feet. "Have you been Trick-or-Treating tonight?"

Tinania frowns crossing her arms over her chest fuming. She couldn't believe she wasn't allowed to go see her own family. Her fings flutter but she just doesn't say another word.

Aylana smirks then brushes a few of the braids from her face "I think she understand now Nyoka, we should let her be now.." she places her hand on Nyoka's shoulder "Come on let enjoy the party."

Krista wraps her arms around Rinon's waist happy and excited at the same time. She was going to be Rinon's wife finally and nothing could make her more happier. She tilts her head seeing Ala "Ala!!" she motions to her to come over to them

Melantha pulls her hair back into a braid looking at Lenore "I'm not sure, maybe they might change. But being Halloween they might not..." she stands then waves her hand and a dark red dress appears then a dark green one "We could wear these..."

Surion shook his head "Nope, just been here" he admitted as he brushed a lock of hair off his face looking up at Damien

Ala looked towards her friend having been distracted by the group of arguing girls. She puts her feet on the floor and gets up wandering towards the pair "Hey Krista"

Damien smiles a little. "Would your mum mind if I took you?" he asks. "It's fun, actually. People give you free candy just for knocking on their door and saying: Trick-or-Treat."

Nyoka shrugs, and smiles again. "Well, everyone has gone," she chuckles. "Or are leaving. I wonder what is so important. . . ." she asks Aylana.

Lenore grins and nods. "They are perfect," she says, snatching her dress and hastily putting it on. "Then . . . after . . . we might be able to pick up where we left off," she winks at Mel before turning to fish for her brush. She is sure her hair is a mess!

Tinania looks around then arches a brow "Hey where did everyone go?" she looks up at Nyoka and Aylana then back around.

Aylana looks around also then frowns "That strange where our mothers Nyoka. They seem to have vanished.." she places her hands on her hips wondering also what was so important.

Krista smiles grabbing her friend hand "Come on you have a wedding to attend.." she winks then follows Rinon out of the hall to leave the building.

Melantha laughs as she pulls on the dress. Stepping behind Lenore she runs her finger lightly up her sides "Might...no I think we will be picking this back up afterward." she kisses her cheek then makes a brush appear for herself running it though her hair.

"Wedding? Who? What? Woah!" she blinks looking bewildered as she is pulled after her friend out the door "Someone enlighten me please?" she says

Surion looked to where he last saw his mum and blinks then looks around and sees the tip of her tail disappearing out the door "Well I'd ask her if she were here... I guess leaving me behind with you guys gives me permission" Surion scratches the top of his head in amusement

"I know where mine went," Nyoka says, wincing as she opens her link for a moment. "I wish I didn't, but I do. I don't know about Aunt Krista. . . ."

Damien grins. "Alright, then. Let's go. We should get quite a bit of candy out of this," he says, starting to lead Surion to the door.

Lenore shivers, and laughs. "Sounds like a plan," she says, running her fingers over her hair to fix it. With an exasperated groan, she grabs her wand, and points it at her hair. It goes up in a simple updo. "Ready?" she asks Melantha.

Aylana smirks then looks to Nani then Nyoka "Well I guess we just hang out here unless you ladies would like to go trick or treating?" she watches as Mein and Surion head towards the enterance.

Tinania giggles then nods "Yes lets go trick or treating. That will be fun!!!" she dances in one place holding the big bag she had with her.

Krista smirks then winks to Ala "Me and Rinon are eloping and well your invited to the wedding. Lenore and Mel will be there also." she turns back looking to Rinon "Where to love?" she squeezed his hand, she was excited and jumpy at the same time.

Mel finished up the braid by adding a dark red ribbon to the bottom. With a smile she wraps her arm around Lenore's waist "I am now."

"Eloping? woah, ok where have I been" Ala laughs and shakes her head hurrying after the pair before Krista could pull her to fall over flat on her face

Surion scrambles to his feet and chases after Damien looking over his shoulders at the girls he didn't have anything with him save for his costume and his cloak which he scooped up in case it was cold outside

Nyoka can't help but think that she might have outgrown trick or treating. But, hell, she has the costume on. Why not? "Sure, trick or treating sounds . . . Oi! Damien!" she yells across the room.

Damien stops in his tracks, and turns slowly to face his sister. "Yes?" he asks, feeling the overwhelming urge to, for the first time in his life, roll his eyes.

"Where are you going?"

"Trick or treating," Damien replies.

"You're with us," Nyoka says. "Unless there are objections."

Damien's eyes flicker to Nani, but he keeps his mouth shut.

"Well, I have heard on TV that there are twenty four hour chapels? I don't know if there are churches that will take us this late. . . ." Rinon smiles a little. "Are you alright with that?" he asks Krista, and grins over at Ala.

"Then, I suggest we go and meet the others," Lenore says, leaning into Mel.

Tinania glares at Mein then smiles sweetly "Yea come trick or treating with us Mein." like always she let her anger for him slip over her like water. She wanted to have fun and wasn't going to let Mein spoil that for her. She smiles to Surion as she pulls out another huge bag "I was going to go around again afterward but here.." she holds the bag out to Surion.

Aylana laughs then looks to Nyoka "You know what worse is that she would be up all night if she went another round." she lays her head on her sister shoulder pushing her hair from her face.

Krista smiles nodding "That is fine Rinon, in fact there is one in Barton we can go to..." she kisses his cheek then looks back to Ala "Oh I forgot to tell you? Me and Rinon been wanting to get married for awhile now."

Mel nods then smiles "Well knowing my sister she'll head into Barton, and with only one chapel there its simple to know where they will be. Shall we pop or walk?" She nibbles on Lenore's ear smiling.

Ala laughs and shakes her head "You are just as bad as me and Torvil" she says remembering her without-warning wedding

Surion smiles and blushes lightly before taking hte bag "Thanks" he says before covering his mouth to cough lightly, he was glad he was over the worst of that

Rinon chuckles at Ala's comment, and nods in agreement with Krista. He waits for her to show the way.

Damien fidgets a little, and ignores Nani pointedly. He becomes more rigid, and pixes his cloak on his cotume. "Enough dallying. We had best go," with that, he just leaves. The farther from Nani he is right now, the better, he thinks.

Nyoka looks at Aylana, as though to ask "What the hell just happened?" Instead of talking, she puts an arm around Aylana, and puts on a happy face. "We'd best go, before Damien gets all the candy," in a cheery voice.

Lenore says, "I think we should pop there," and winks. "Catch me if you can?" and with a loud pop, she Disapparates.

Tinania rolls her eyes then takes Surion's hand "Come on let catch up before he does take all the candy for himself." she giggles and pretends to aims her fake gun at Mein aiming for the back of his head. Pulling the triggers she smiles as water comes squirting out of it.

Aylana shrugs not even wanting to knwo what happen then laughs at Nyoka as they walk "You know you should be cheery more often." she pokes her sister side laughing.

Krista nods then pauses squeezing both of their hands "This will be the quicker way." with a nod they disappear with a loud pop. Within seconds they are standing in front of the chapel.

Mel stumbles slightly as she shakes her head. She wasn't use to that form of travel at all. Smiling at Lenore she looks up when she hears another pop "What took you so long?"

Ala wasn't prepared for the suddenness and hte feeling of hte aparition "Okkaayy that was nothing like the Nether" she says shaking her head slightly for a moment then looking around to get her bearings as to where she was

Surion giggles watching Nani squirt water at Damien "You are so gonna have to tell me what to do you know that right..." she says to her

Damien stops in his tracks when the water hits his hat. He spins on the heels of his boots, and glares at Nani. "I see the mature part of the evening has begun!" he yells. Nyoka is left stunned, blinking at him. "By the goddess, child, when are you going to GROW UP?!" With that, he stalks off.

Nyoka shakes her head, and mumbles appologies, as she hurries to catch up to him.

Lenore giggles and leans back against a wall, her arms crossed over her chest. "I love your wedding outfits," she teases.

Rinon shakes his head at his sister, not taking his hand from Krista's. "Hush, you," he says, but is still grinning from ear to ear. Yes, he is the happiest man alive.

Tinania eyes widen in shock, she wasn't at all sure what to say at the moment then she glares as he stalks off. "Its Halloween Mein!!!! Why don't you learn to stop being snobby and at like a normal person for once!!!!" she rolls her eyes then breaths in to calm down.

Aylana frowns then smacks Nani in the back of the head "He right you do need to grow up." with that she takes off after Nyoka and Mein.

Rolling her eyes Tinania smiles to Surion "Well you go up to someone's door, then ring the doorbell or knock. When they open the door you yell 'trick or treat!!' holding your bag open. Then they give you candy, pretty simple." she takes his hand "Shall we go?"

Krista blushes looking down at her clothes then looks to Lenore "Think you can come up with something Lenore? I don't have my wand with me..." she leans against Rinin also smiling from ear to ear. She looks over at Ala and smiles "Something for her also...."

Mel smiles shaking her head then looks towards the chapel "I'll go see if they have an opening.." she kisses Lenore's cheek then walks in to talk to the man at the counter.

Surion blinks watching the scene, woah tensions were high... He looks up and watches Nani relieved to see her smile at him "Sounds easy enough" he nods "Ok lets go"

Ala looked down at her own wench's outfit "Is there something wrong with my attire?" she was confused

"Slow down!" Nyoka calls. Damien is already well down the street and just finishing with the first house before she can even spot him. She sprints to catch up to him. When she does, Damien ignores her.

So, Nyoka looks around, to see if any of the others are catching up to them, and walks next to Damien.

Lenore sighs, and pulls her wand from the top of her dress. She smiles. "I feel like the fairy godmother in Cinderella. You're lucky I have prefected a technique. . . . And, Ala, there is nothing wrong with what you have on," she adds with a wink. She points her wand into the air. A few moments later, she is catching bolts of fabric, one by one, and setting them on a clean spot on the steps to the chapel. Lastly, the large changing screen from her room flies toward her, and she points her wand to a place by Krista. It is large enough to make a fitting room. She pushes Krista into it, and steps in after her. A wave of her wand, and Krista is naked save for undies. Lenore moves her wand to a bolt of light blue fabric, and goes to work on her dress.

"Out," she finally says. When Krista leaves, she tells Rinon, "Step into my parlour. . . ."

He gulps, and steps into the temporary changing room. She takes a shorter amount of time to do his outfit, and is shooing him out soon enough.

When she is done, she banishes her supplies back to the manor, and tosses her wand at Krista. "I'll meet you inside. You might want to do something with your hair," she winks again, and grabs Rinon. "No peeking at the bride before the wedding," she says, covering his eyes and walking him into the chappel. "See you both in a bit!"

Tinania takes Surion's hand as they head up to the first home. Knocking on the door she smiles looking down at Surion as the door opens. Holding her back open she smiles "Trick or Treat!!!" it didn't seem to mater to her that they were falling behind.

Aylana catches up walking next to Damien on the other side of him. She looks up at Nyoka using a link she hasn't in awhile "Think he'll be okay?"

Krista giggles as she watches her friends leave her outside. Waving the wand a mirror appears in front of her. She winces not liking the makeup of the hairdo Tinania put her in. Holding the wand to her hair she speaks the word and watches as the hair becomes curly partically up in a bun and particall down. Ringletts were around her face. The make change to look natural and lip gloss appeared on her lips. Smiling she rubs her hands togethers stepping into the chapel.

Melantha smiles greeting her sister "You look great Callista." she hugs her sister then looks to Lenore "I believe the bride is ready..." she turns to take Ala's hand to guide her to where she had to be. "I'll let you deal with the bride Lenore..I'll check on your brother and get Ala in place."

"Uhm Trick or Treat too" Surion says looking up at hte person who held the door open copying Nani and holding his bag open he hoped he was doing it right

Ala laughed and followed after her friend's sister

Damien makes a noise that sounds like one of those disgusted sniffs, and walks faster, as if he knows that Aylana and Nyoka are talking about him.

Nyoka sighs. You remember what it was like, she replies. I am sure he will be alright by tomorrow.

Lenore nods, and goes to look for Krista.

Meanwhile, Rinon is getting nervous through his happiness. He is smoothing back his hair now. He is sure it looks a fright, after taking that wretched blonde wig off. He'll just have to deal, he supposes. Instead of speaking, he nods to the man standing next to him. Then, he starts looking around the room, his hands clasped behind his back because he can't find any other use for them at the moment.

Tinania smiles as the lady places some candy into both there bags. Looking at Surion she smiles "See how simple was that? So wanna get some more candy?" she smiles holding her hand out to him.

Aylana didn't say anything she just simply nods. She did remember what it was like at that age. Wrapping her arm around Nyoka's waist she lays her head back on her shoulder.

Krista looked up seeing Lenore walk up, she was shaking alittle and she kept pacing. "Lenore I feel like I'm going to hit the floor. Please tell me that's normal..." she was smiling as she looked at her sister. She was so happy yet so frighten at the same time.

Melantha smiles placing Ala up near the Alter then looks at Rinon "How you doing bro?" she tilts her head smiling. She was so thrilled to see this finally happening.

Surion smiles and looks down in teh bag "Yeah!" he grins when his eyes catch sight of hte candy in the bottom of hte bag and he takes hold of Nani's hand eager for more

Ala smiles and brushes her chest off of some invisible dirt , as iff her corsetted busom was a landing place for all the dirt int he air and then looked sweetly towards the door watching for her friend

Nyoka rests her head on Aylana's, and keeps her keen eyes on Damien's back.

Lenore chuckles. "Krista, I have never been married, so I wouldn't know," she starts. "But, this is something that will change your life, I think. Whenever faced with these moments, it is natural, again, I think, that you would feel that way." She holds out her hand. "Alright, if you are ready, I will escort you out. Or, do you need a few more minutes?"

Rinon smiles over at Melantha. "I'm fine," he says. It's the best way to describe how he is feeling right now. He keeps glancing at the door in front of him. Any minute now, his sister, and his fiancee, will be walking through it, and his new life will start.

Tinania smiles taking his hand to proceed to the next home. She was glad she could share this with Surion. Halloween seem to be fun and she was glad he was having fun.

Aylana fix the bikini top then shakes her head "You know I'm happy I'm not that age anymore. Life was very confusing during that age." she laughs alittle then goes quiet again just watching Damien. She felt bad for him.

Krista nods taking Lenore's hand then wraps her arms around her hugging her "Yea I think I am. Thank you...for everything.." she turns her head to kiss Lenore's cheek. Pulling away she looks her arm though Lenore;s smiling.

Melanatha smiles then pats his shoulder before going back over to stand next to Ala. She too watch the door waiting for Lenore and her sister.

Surion grins happily coughing once and a whlie but thats what one gets from getting over a cold and having done to him what his uncle had done, he hoped Nani wouldn't find out, she worried about him a lot as it was

Ala hummed softly while she waited, it was the females side of a certain tune and she was humming it barely loud enough for herself to hear

"Tell me about it," Nyoka mumbles, but manages a smile to Aylana all the same. She, too, was worried about her little brother.

Lenore rests her other hand over the one around her arm. She smiles, and starts to lead her best friend through the door, and down the aisle.

Rinon watches, a grin on his face, as Lenore and Krista walk toward him. Once the women are close to him, Lenore transfers Krista's hand to Rinon's, and stands a little behind her.

The ceremony is fairly shorter than one would think. It might be just the nerves, though, Rinon observes. For, soon, the man is saying that they can kiss for the first time as man and wife. . . .

Lenore, meanwhile, has grown misty-eyed, and is using the end of her long, bell-sleeves to dab at the outer corners of her eyes as she watches the whole thing.

Tinania looked over at Surion frowning slightly "My cold still got you alittle?" she ruffles his hair alittle still feeling bad that she got him sick. "You warm enough hun? Or do we need to get you out of the night air?"

Aylana smiles then watches Damien once again "Think we should try to talk to him. Or do we leave him alone?" she brushes her hair from her face again hating all the braids she had to deal with later.

Krista smiles looking at Rinon, this was it she was his wife and nothing would ever change that. She runs her finger lightly over his cheek looking into his eyes as she mouthed the words I love you inches. Her lips brushed against his lightly, she wanted him to kiss her.

Mel wraps her arms around the two ladies then smiles "All I can say is that we won't be seeing them for awhile." she winks then kisses Lenore's cheek. She was happy for her sister, it was tiem she got some loving.

"Uhm not really, a little bit maybe but not really" he admits "I'm not overly cold, my cloak is keeping me warm"

Ala laughs "Yeah I know how that one goes, noone saw me or my mate for a good week... and we didn't even leave home..." she was very happy for her friend

"I don't know, to be honest. I haven't seen him blow up like that before," Nyoka admits, looking thoughtfully at Damien as he knocks on another door.

Rinon mouths 'I love you, too,' in elven, before he dips his head and kisses his new wife. He pulls her closer to him, grinning even as he kisses her.

Tears spill down Lenore's cheeks, and she looks up at Melantha before looking over at Ala. "Wasn't that beautiful?" she says, in almost a sob.

Gods, isn't she being mushy!

Tinania nods as they reach the next house. The candy was just sitting out in a huge cauldron with a sign that said 'help yourself'. Tinania smiles then turns grabbing a handful of candy placing it into her bag. She turns and gather a bunch over candy holding it towards Surion's bag.

Aylana nods "Yea I have acturally never seen Mein and Nani fight before. Their usually really close. Teenage years change that don't it?" she frowns feeling bad for the both of them.

Krista returns his kiss wrapping her arms around his neck. Her body pressed against his and she felt truely happy for the first time in a long time. A single tear runs down her cheek as she pulls back looking up at her husband.

Mel smirks nudging Ala "Hmm I wish I was lucky like you. Course then maybe that has change now that I have this crying one over here.." she leans in kissing Lenore wiping the tears from her face.

Surion holds his bag out to Nani "Wow, they must really trust people" he muses watching her grab the handful

Ala chuckles "I can't say I've ever seen Lenore weep, but it's a cute scene" she winks and laughs

"Or, grandfathers. . . ." Nyoka thinks aloud.

Damien shakes his head. Does his sister think that he cannot hear them? With another snort, yes, snort, he speeds up his steps.

Rinon leans forward, and says next to Krista's ear, "Do you think they will miss us if we left now? We have a honeymoon to get to. . . ." He gently brushes the tear away fromher cheek with his thumb.

Lenore shakes her head. "Make your jokes," she says, hastily wiping her cheeks and looking at Ala. "I am not cute. Puppies are cute, kittens are cute. I am not a puppy or kitten," she adds.

She looks over at Melantha, then, and says, "If you think there will be a happily ever after for us, you are wrong," and playfully pokes Melantha in her stomach. "Not when you take part in the jokes."

Tinania giggles agreeing with him "Yes their very trusting. Come on let keep going. We only got a short time and alot of house to get to.." she takes his hand moving down the street to continue there fun for the night.

Aylana sighs then say nothing just keeping quiet folloing after them.

Krista shakes her head laughing alittle "No I do not think they will miss us. And I know just the place.." leaning in she brushes her lips against his as she makes them both vanish.

Mel laughs kissing Lenore cheek before she heard the crack, looking up she smirks "I guess they couldn't wait could they?" she rest her head on Lenore's shoulder "So now what?" she looks to Ala smiling.

Surion hurries after Nani to keep Trick or Treating

Ala shrugs "I know not... besides getting out of this chapel?" She chuckles and heads out

Damien stops suddenly, and waits for Nyoka and Aylana to catch up to him. "This isn't as fun as I wanted it to be," he speaks, finally. "I think I am going to go home."

"Yeah," Nyoka sighs. "I am tired. I'll walk you." She glances over at Aylana, then.

Lenore yawns widely, and looks over at Ala before following her. She then turns her eyes to Melantha. "I think I want to head home," she says. "I have things I need to do before I go to sleep. . . ." she says, smiling a little.

Aylana nods agreeing "Yea come on let all head home." she looks back then looks to her sister following them home.

Mel laughs walking up to her "Yea I have to agree with that, I have a few things I need to do before I rest.." she looks to Ala winks "We'll talk to you later okay?" she leans down nipping at Lenore's ear hoping she would do that trick to get them home faster.

Ala laughed and shook her head "Ok I can smell the hormones and the desire enough to get the hint... good night ladies" she says unfurling her wings and taking off into the night air

Lenore chuckles. Sure enough, the blink out of sight, and return in her bedroom.

"Now, where were we?" she asks, before pulling Melantha to her.

Surion Becomes a Teen

Ala knocked on her son's door on her way past it "Sur get up it's time to get your day started, you are supposed to help your dad around the house today" she told her son "And I'm going to Barton so get up" she said through the door and headed to give Torvil a see-you-later kiss on her way out

Torvil purred and looked up from his work, it was a small toaster oven. "Later love..." He smiled, and waited for Surion to come in.

Ala pecked his cheek then disappeared out the door

Surion thumped out of the bed which suddenly seemed smaller to him, then he noticed his clothes were also tight on him, he looked towards his mirror with a look of surprise on his face, and then a grin. And then his face fell "Nothing in here is going to fit me..." he said with a sigh he pulled the top sheet off his bed and draped it around his shoulders and shook out his hair then went to find his dad... "Dad I think I have a bit of a problem" he said once he did find him

Torvil jumped, then looked up and smiled. "Well hello, some one decided to grow on us..." He chuckled and stood. "Here, come with me, I've got something that might fit..."

"Thanks" he said looking a lil sheepish "Didn't mean to startle you" he said to his father

Torvil chuckled. "It's alright, you know how I am when I get sucked into work..." He smiled, and led him into his room, starting to dig in his dresser,

Surion fidgeted with his tail under the sheet "Yeah, you get focused" he mused "Well this has been an interesting day... and it hasn't even started, wonder what mom will say..." then his mind turned to someone else and a smile spread across his lips

Torvil chuckled. "She'll probably either be enthused beyond belief... Or something else who knows? He chuckled softly, and tossed him some clothes, nabbing a key to undo the padlocks on the Lab.

Surion awkwardly caught them with his arms still under the sheet "Thanks, I'll go get changed, later I should go get more probably, but first I promised I'd help you" he said and walked off towards his room

Torvil chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, go get a duster.... We're dusting my lab today..." He smiled, walking out with the key.

Surion nodded and went to get changed, he glanced at some stuff on one of his upper shelves that he could now easily reach and looked through it, he smiled remembering the treat Maddie had given him a while back as well as the pile of empty Journals and books stored there then a flat box caught his eye and he pulled it off, opening it he found an alchemists necklace, he recognized the symbol from a book he read, with a smile he pulled it out and put it on then left the room and grabbed a duster heading to join his dad

Torvil smiled and was puttering around his now unlocked lab happily, he was humming softly and almost dancing in joy at being able to work once more.

Surion showed up in the doorway duster in hand it was a room he'd never previously been allowed in even though he'd read quite a bit about alchemy

Torvil smiled. "Welcome to the Lab... Be careful..." He chuckled softly, feeding some of the caged animals.

"Yeah I know dad, I have been raiding your bookshelves after all" he said stepping in careful not to bump into anything

Torvil chuckled. "That's true..." He smiled softly and looked around, blowing dust of beakers and vials.

"Why is it so darned dusty?" he asked moving to start carefully dusting

"It attracts dust..." Torvil chuckled. "Well some of it does..."

Surion chuckled and shook his head "I suppose that kinda makes sense" he mused

Torvil nodded and started to dust and inspect his work that he'd left sitting. He stared at a globe with a small black circle in it. "Some one's been in here..."

"What makes you say that dad?" he asked moving closer to see what his father was looking at

Torvil pointed at the black ball. "He's hiding..." He murmured. "And there's fingerprints on the globe... Someone irritated him..."

"Wasn't me, I've never been in here" Surion said hoping his father didn't think it had been him

Torvil nodded. "I believe you... But there's somebody else in this house... Who might have snuck in here... Picked the lock..." He murmured.

"But Who? I can't see mom sneaking in here" he stood upright again scratching his head

"No... No... These finger prints come from a furry hand..." He murmured softly, pointing out the small brush like blurring.

"Devin? The twins?" Surion was throwing possibilities around

"Most likely Devin..." He murmured softly and grunted. "I'll ask him later..."

Surion shook his head "He's always been a strange one"

Torvil chuckled. "He's... Different..." He smirked. "I don't think he'll open to us..."

"Well who knows dad, who knows, he certainly doesn't seem to like the twins" Surion returned to dusting

Torvil chuckled. "I have a feeling it's because they're girls... I don't think Devin can view them as anything but competition..."

Surion laughed "Competition for what? those two don't seem to have anything in mind but relaxing and enjoying themselves"

Torvil chuckled. "But what if a male came along neh? Are you understanding what I'm getting at..." He smiled softly.

Surion laughed "I don't think I'll ever understand those 3, oh well"

Torvil chuckled. "You don't need to understand them, just make sure they don't kill each other..." He chuckled and worked slowly around the lab, then sighed. "This brings back old memories..."

"Like what dad?" he asked pausing on the item he was dusting

Torvil lifted up a vial of a silver liquid.

Surion watched it for a moment thinking about it and thinking back tot he books

"Quick silver..." He chuckled softly as he put the vial back down. "I can make gold with that..."

"Thought we weren't suppose to make gold though" Surion said quirking a brow

Torvil chuckled. "You're not..." He smiled. "It's very not nice to do... But..." He smiled and looked at it. "Sometimes you have to break the rules...'

"Bad dad" he admonished teasingly waving the duster at him

Torvil laughed softly and looked at his son. "Hey, it's a fact of life... Don't say I never taught you nothin..."

"Yeah yeah I know dad, so what else we got in here?" he returned to dusting and exploring

Torvil chuckled and walked around, kneeling to check to see if he needed to replace any ingredients.

Sur looked at his father and shook his head then returned silently to dusting he wanted to get the chores over with

Torvil stood and chuckled. "Alright... All good down there... Lesse..." He smiled and pulled out a bottle from an upper cabinet and looked around. "Surion... Come here..."

Surion looked up and stopped dusting walking over to his father "Yeah?"

"I need you to go into the kitchen and get to glasses..." He smiled, dusting off the label on the bottle.

" 'kay" he replied putting down the duster and wandering off returning a few minutes later with the requested items

Torvil smiled and uncorked the bottle and then poured the glasses. "We'll have to share when you're mother gets home, but a little drink now won't kill us..."

Surion looked into the glass curiously to see what his father had poured

It was a blood colored mixture, but it smelled very fermented.

Surion chuckled "what makes me think this is rather alcoholic" he said sniffing it before taking a sip

Torvil chuckled. "Probably the smell and it is rather... And now that you're a teenager Surion, there's a wonderful new rule for you... you can drink all you want with me and your mum... But leave the house..." He shook his head.

Surion quirked a brow and swallowed the little in his mouth "So here but not out there"

Torvil nodded. "Yeah, pretty much how it works... I trust you to abide by that rule... I want you to know that you're free to drink, I just want to be around while you do it..." He chuckled.

Surion nodded "All right" he said looking at the drink again "Interesting flavor"

Torvil chuckled. "My blood..." He smiled softly. "So it would have a bit of a tang to it..."

Surion nodded and finished the small amount "Guess we should get this done, I can't survive in all your clothing, I need to hit Barton before the stores close" he paused "Oh I guess I'll need gold in order to do that" he looked thoughtful

Torvil chuckled and nodded. "Alright lets finish and I'll give you some gold..." He smiled with a grin. "I can trust you not to blow it on frivolous crap and just clothes right?"

"Daadddd.... You should know I have no clothing of my own that fits now" he said teasingly exasperated

Torvil laughed. "Just checking, wouldn't want you to blow it on something you don't need..." He smiled and finished up, then went to go get some gold for Surion.

"I won't dad" he said and followed his dad out a few minutes later and was waiting in the front hall holding the Hover disc Nani had lent him in his hands, he was just pressing the buttons to grow it when his father came back

Torvil chuckled and looked at that disc. "One of these days..." he murmured, shaking his head. "One of these days I will take that thing apart..."

"I don't think so, this isn't mine" Surion said "And you know that" holding the disc that was no longer pocket sized

Torvil nodded. "I really need to talk to her about it then..." He groaned. his fingers just twitching... He'd gone from being scared of technology, to never getting enough of it...

"No dad, just leave it alone, there's only like 7 of these things that have been made, you mess it up then it's not like it can be easily replaced" Surion held the disc away from his father

Torvil sighed. "Alright, alright... You win..." He grumbled and sighed. "Well go have fun at Barton, be safe..." He said softly.

Surion held his hand out for the gold "I will, I just need gold first"

Torvil nodded and tossed him a bag of gold. "Oh, and I gave you a little extra in case you get hungry...'

Surion caught it "Thanks dad, I'll be back later, perhaps I'll run into mom while I'm there I know she was in Barton today for her own things too"

Torvil nodded. "Perhaps..." He chuckled and moved in quickly to ruffle his hair. "See ya when you get back..."

Surion ducked and slipped out the door dropping the disc so it hovered then stepping on quickly and taking off into the sky

Torvil sighed and shook his head. "They grow up way to fast..."

Sur goes clothing shoping

Surion stepped off the hoverdisc and looked around, he'd yet to be here before but had heard it was a great please to buy clothing. "Durem Depot" he murmurs to himself and then nods and heads inside.

Stylish, trendy, & cool... Well thats the words Surion would use to describe the woman he saw in the shop. She seemed to be the only one there at the time so he presumed she worked there and was right when she spoke up in a voice that matched her appearance "Looking for something different? You're at the right place!"

Surion smiled "Yeah something different I need a new wardrobe I've outgrown everything I own..." he told her as he walked towards her

She smiled and looked him up and down with a nod before leading him to the shelves and pointing out all the clothing that would fit him, as well as fit what she seemed to think was his style

Surion perused these items, several of them he decided against and left, some he went with, his favorite though was the silk shirts of which he chose a couple of each of the few colors. He seached for pants and found some that he liked eventually decided he'd have to keep looking for some of the things that he wanted.

Moira had been watching him "Oh man, I went to this WICKED party last night..." she spoke up startling him "You wouldn't believe the clothes people wore.. too wicked."

Surion looked in her direction and nodded unsure why she was telling him this "Okay..." he said and gathered up the clothing he had picked out and headed into the changing room to try them on. He didn't emerge for nearly 20 minutes, he decided they all fit for the most part but he'd have to alter the pants for his tail. He walked up to the cash register putting them on the counter.

Moira sat up she had been leaning on it. She rang through his purchases and then looked at him before giving him his total

Surion gulped slightly, that was a lot in his book but he'd survive. His father had given him a fair amount of gold with the instructions to get clothing which he was doing. He counted out the amount and handed it to her and took his bags "Thanks" he said and left pulling his hover disc back out and climbing on before taking off heading off to drop it off home and then go find more stuff......

Surion sees Nani in Barton

Tari, Celia, Eamane, and Moranwe were all waiting outside the coffee shop sipping on there drink. They were all waiting for Tinania.

She was still inside waiting for her drink. She was dressed like normal, in a tiger crop top along with her dark blue jeans. Then she had a pair of matching shoes. Her belly ring was a silver with a tiger charm hanging from it. Her hair was pulled away from her face in a ponytail. She smiles to the guy as she gets her drink "Thank you..."

Long blue and silver streaked hair obscuring his vision as he walked, Surion was.. reading, specifically he was reading a book on Alchemy which he'd grabbed to read while he shopped. His long tail moving lazily behind him his boots clunking on the ground as he walked. He expected to run into no one he never really did get dressed up, he had a style of his own, black jeans and a loose dark button up shirt, heck his style hadn't changed much at all since he was a child, only difference right then is he was wearing the Alchemist Necklace his mother had got him when he was an infant. He turned into the coffee shop door intending to get something to drink for the weather was cool

Tinania was just stepping out of the coffee shop when she bumped into him "Oh I'm sorry..." she smiles stepping pass him. Tari shook her head "Took you long enough Nani, come on we gotta get to the book store you know the shop owner said he have new books."

Tinania laughs as she wrapped her arms though Celia and Maranwe. She hadn't changed at all, with school and training done at the villages the five girls were able to hang out again. Eamane looks to Tinania "So you still going to head to the club with us."

Tinania shrugs as they crossed the street "Maybe, so long as Celia can ditch her brother." Celia sighs poking Eamane "Its not my fault he an a** and won't back off..."

"No worries" Sur mumbled engrossed in his book not even really paying attention to the voice that spoke then in honest he should have recognized it, he didn't even look up until he reached the counter. He got one of his few favorite drinks, one he couldn't get at home, but then it being a favorite was Nani's fault, since she was the one who used to give it to him. 'I should contact her at some point' he thought to himself as he left the shop once again engrossed in his book

The girls were in the front of the store sitting and laughing as they drank there coffee. The front window to the store was open so there laughter could be heard. Eamane looks to Nani "Come on you gotta go dancing with us. Its not like you have to baby-sit Surion anymore. I mean you haven't heard from his mum have you?"

Tari smirks nudging Nani side "I think she is waiting for that phone call." Tinania grabs the couch pillow hitting Tari as the others laugh "I am not!!!!" she was blushing but she blamed it on the heat.

The sounds of that laughter distracted Surion as he walked and he looked up and around "The book store, interesting place for laughter" it did however make him curious "Well maybe I can kill two birds with one stone" he mused he needed to go there... eventually, was thinking of making a different trip of it though. Closing and tucking his book under his arm he headed into the store and looked around, his blue eyes seeing first all the normals of a book store, and then coming to rest on the source of the laughter he smiled there were faces he recognized, he walked silently up behind the most familiar of them all and put his finger to his lips hoping the others wouldn't say anything

Celia didn't say anything she just smiles before nudging both Eamane and Maranwe in the sides to keep quiet. Tari looked at them but shook her head looking back at Nani "So how has Surion been?"

Celia had to get up quickly to stop from laughing, Tinania arches a brow as she shrugs "I have no clue, I haven't seen him at all, last time I watch him was little over a week ago. I haven't seen him since. " she sighs looking at her drink "I'm tempted to call..."

Celia motion to the other two to come over to her. She whispers in Eamane ear who drops her jaw as she looks to Surion before walking over to whisper in Tari ear. Tari eyes widen but she didn't turn. She only smiles "Really Nani, that's sad, you should call him.."

Nani shakes her head "Nah he's probably busy.."

Surion smirked and pulled from his pocket his mother's phone, she had insisted he take it with him, with the sounds off and only the ringer on he dialed Nani's phone and let it ring

Nani looked down at her phone, when she saw the number she looks to Tari smiling "Its Ms. Ala..." she picks it up as Tari gets up walking towards the other girls. "Hello Ms. Ala?"

"I dun know about Ms. Ala, but hello anyways" he said looking down at her, he wasn't sure if she'd think his voice only came from her phone or not

Tinania arches a brow hearing the voice, she pulled it away wondering if she had it to loud or something. That when she saw the shadow above her. She closed her eyes shaking her head before turning to look at him her eyes opening slowly.

Tari and Celia smile pushing the girls away back to the back of the store giving them some room.

Tinania couldn't say anything as she looked at him. This wasn't the Surion she remembered, he wasn't a little boy anymore.

Surion chuckled and stuffed the phone back in his pocket after shutting it off "What can I say, you were thinking of calling mom's phone... so I called you" he said and pushed some of his hair over his ear

Tinania glares in the area she heard the laughter, she blushes looking at him "Wow, you grown...um, its great to see you again.."

"Yeah I grew, hit another growth spurt you could say" he said and rounded the couch dropping his book and near-empty cup on the table "it's great to see you too, not that I expected to run into you today, but still"

Tinania smiles nodding "Yea talk about small world. And here I thought it be a normal day with the girls...." she looked him over and before she could stop herself "You look amazing..." she covers her mouth with both hand turning bright red, the tips of her ears were pink.

Celia and Tari both look to each other before looking at Eamane and Maranwe "I think maybe we should invite him tonight. Nani would have no choice but to come with us then..." all the girls giggle as they talk the ideas over.

Surion chuckled and sat "Thanks, and you look more then amazing, as usual. Looks I got to surprise you again...." he smiled his wheels turning, he certainly wasn't a child anymore, and she was still a teen... maybe he DID have a chance

Tinania smirks "Yea again you surprised me..." she sips her drink before looking at him "So when did this happen?" she understood now why she wasn't called, he wasn't a child anymore.

Tari along with the other girls walked up. Tinania looks over at them glaring. Tari brushed her off as she looked at Surion "Hey Surion we were wondering we you wanted to go dancing with us tonight. Nani been so busy lately we were hoping to get her out, but she doesn't want to.." Celia picked it up smiling "Yea so we figure if you join us she have no choice to go.." Celia giggles.

Tinania was blushing a deep red trying not to growl at her friends as she looked back at Surion "Its okay really, I had things to do anyways..."okay she was lying but she wasn't going to admit it.

"Not very long ago..." he said just as the others approached, he listened to them and a smile spread across his face "Yeah I'd love to join you, I should drop my stuff at home but yeah it sounds like fun" he nodded and then glanced towards Nani again and noticed her blush She's cute when she blushes he thought to himself

Tinania shakes her head hiding her face waiting for the blush to go away, once it did she looks at them all glaring "Okay okay fine I'll come..." she stood pushing place the girls heading towards the healing section.

Tari and Celia laughs as Eamane and Maranwe went to look at the teen magazines. Tari sat down next to him "So I heard you got a thing for Nani?" Celia sat on the other side of him smirking "Yea at least that what she told us when you were a kid..."

"Somehow I have a feeling I just got trapped" he said looking back and forth at them after watching Nani leave "Uh yeah you could say that I suppose..." the tips of his ears were rather red

Tari smiles "Yea your pretty much trapped. Anyways do you still like her?" She lays her elbow on the back of the couch as Celia smiles "Because she single still, don't know why she gotten tons of the guy back at our village asking for her..."

Tinania finally calming herself down found the book she was looking for, she flipped it open looking though the pages as she leaned against the bookshelf.

Surion slowly nodded still looking back and forth between them "Yeah I do, Have for a long time... but it's kinda laughable for a kid to go after a teen... maybe now I have a chance" he blushed thinking of when Nani had dragged it out of him who he had a crush on

Celia smirks "Good then its a good thing your going tonight..." she smiles then stand heading over to the magazine. Tari smiles "Yea because you can dance with her since she won't dance with anyone else but us..." she wink before standing herself heading to pay for her items.

The other three girls walk up before they look toward Nani "Ugh she stuck in that book again.." Celia shakes her head walking out.

Sure enough Nani was reading, rather quickly as she leaned against the bookshelf.

Surion got up gathering his couple of things and headed towards her "You're just as bad as me when you get into a book aren't you" he asked her quietly when he got close enough

Tinania looks up blushing then nods "Yea...sorry it just been a book I've been meaning to buy, but never have gold with me when I come..." she places the book back on the shelf then sighs "You know you don't have to come with us..." she walks back towards the front of the store.

Tari along with the other girls were already in the Jeep. There was room for two more people. "You two coming or are you walking?"

Surion glanced at the book and it's price tag before hurrying after her "I know I don't, but I want to" he said once he caught up to her. He heard Tari's question and looked at her "Up to the lady" Surion replied and looked towards Tinania again

Tinania looks at him then back at her friend with a sigh she nods "Yea were coming." she walks over to jeep opening the door for Surion.

Tari looks at Celia winking as she turns the jeep on. Celia pulled her hair back into a ponytail. The other two girls were speaking in Elven about a article in the magazine they were reading.

Surion climbed in "Gee this brings back memories" he said with a chuckle as he sat leaving room for her on the seat he had a feeling he should pick up a few languages at this rate, but one thing at a time

Tinania climbs into the back next to Surion, she lightly brushed her finger along his knee as she grabbed for her seat belt then blushes "Sorry..." she pushed her hair from her face as Tari pulled out onto the road.

Celia turned looking at them "So we'll drop Surion off first so he can get change and what not, then we'll head back to the estate to get ready ourselves." Both the other girl frown they knew they were still to young to come. Celia smiles "So Nani which outfit you wearing?"

Tinania blushes shrugging "I don't know.." Celia smirks looking at Surion "Well then what are you wearing Surion that way we can make sure you both match.." Tinania hides her face only on Surion's shoulder Man can they pick on me anymore...

"Uh... I hadn't thought of anything to wear as yet, I doubt anything fancy" he said blushing bright red, but smiling and feeling Tinania's face against his shoulder, he had no problem with her touch whatsoever

Celia tilts her head to the side think "hmmm, well if you have anything red I think I can get Nani into her mini skirt..." she grins as Nani growls.

Tinania shakes her head "You know that won't happen..." Celia smirks shrugging "We'll see..."

Tinania sighs then hides her face again, she was so going to kick Tari and Celia butts when she had the chance. Tari stops when they reach the edge near Surion place. She turns looking at him "Okay we'll wait here for you.."

Surion chuckled "Ok" he climbed out and pulled the one item of Nani's he still had with him nearly any time he went anywhere... her hover disc and took off towards home humming happily to himself

Tari nods then once he is far away she turns on Nani "He still likes you girl..."

Tinania eyes widen "What the hell did you do? Trap him?" Celia smirks nodding "Pretty much..."

Tinania buries her face in her hands "I so hate you two right now.." she was blushing and smiles. Maybe it was a good thing he was coming after all.

Surion burst in the house "Mom I'm going dancing with Nani and her friends!" he called as he hurried towards his room

Ala chuckled "Make sure you take the phone with you and check in if you are going to be late"

"Yeah ok mom" he hollered through his door he lost the boots, and he lost the book, disc and top replacing it with a blood red silk top and comfortable shoes to dance in before stuffing the cell into another pocket and running back out "Bye mom!" he called and the door slammed shut as he took to the air with his float not desiring to have too much to clutter his hands as he headed back over the trees

Tari smirks "So now he a teen whatcha going to do Nani" she was peering at her smiling. Celia also was very curious.

Tinania looks at them both shaking her head "Nothing, besides once we get there you know all the girls will be over him. He'll forget about me..." Tari and Celia shake there heads before turning back in there seats.

Surion appeared over the top of the trees lightly setting his feet down "I look ok for dancing?" he asked them

Tari and Celia whistle nodding "Yup you look great..." Tinania looks up nodding "Yea you do Sur..."

Surion smiled "ok" he said before climbing back into the jeep. "This should be fun" he mused and glanced at Nani as he sat beside her again

Tinania looks at him smiling then looks down at her hands. Tari smiles nodding "Yea it should be now we gotta get dress.."

Tari takes off down the road heading towards the other end of town. They they turn off to a dirt road heading towards the estate. The sun had already started setting as they pulled up to the Manor. Tari parks the car then turns. "Okay Celia, Nani, Surion I'll leave you three here. I'll drop these two off then come back. Celia your dressed okay for tonight. Nani wear your skirt.."

Nani mumbles in Elven as she climbs out of her the jeep. "Fine I will only if Surion wants me too..."

Surion climbed out with the others "You look good in anything Nani" he said to her "But your friends do have me curious..." he purred softly

Nani blushes then frowns "Fine I'll wear my bloody skirt.." she turns walking into the house. Tari winked before driving off heading into the forest. Celia smiles touching Surion shoulder "She just hates when were right is all.." she heads towards the house.

Nani was already in her room pulling out her red plaid skirt, along with the black crop top. She bent over grabbing her boots. She sat on the bed cursing Tari and Celia.

Surion shook his head "oh well, I think she looks good in anything" he followed her in "Though I suppose I'd have to say she's still single"

Tinania had already was walking back downstairs, she was dressed in the plaid skirt thigh came to her mid thighs. The black crop top that showed off her flat stomach. Her belly ring was silver with the the red ruby like before. Her black boots with red laces came up to her knees as her hair fell around her face. "Happy?"

Celia smirks "Yes but what do you think Surion" she nudges him forward as she stepped back.

Surion stared at her "Uh huh" he said not pulling his eyes off her as they traveled up and down her body taking in her full appearance "Never seen anything, or anyone so ... hot..." he murmured

Tinania looks up at Surion blushing "Really, your not just jesting are you?" she pushes her bangs from her face licking her bottom lip.

Celia smiles nodding "I'll wait for you two outside.." she turns stepping out the door before Tinania could say anything. She looks up at him smiling alittle "You know there is still time to bail..."


Sur walked closer to her "How often have you known me to jest" he asked her since she had known him all his life "No I'm ok... besides I see someone beautiful I wouldn't mind dancing with"

Tinania blushes then smiles "That is if you can keep up with me..." she winks before stepping pass him as Tari pulls up.

"Hey lovebirds get a move on will ya?" Tari knew she be in trouble but she couldn't help herself. Celia climbed into the car giggling.

Tinania blushes almost as red as her shirt "I know she didn't just say that...Oooh I'll curse her..." she looked at Surion shaking her head before holding her hand out "Come on sweetie lets go see what you can do on the dance floor."

Surion blushed, sweetie had a whole different feeling to it, but only time could tell if that feeling would become reality. He took her hand and followed her with a soft chuckle

Tinania climbed into the back of the jeep only all the way down that way they both had room. She pulled from her bag her black eye shadow along with her small flash light. Pulling out her wand she aimed it at the flash which floated in the air. She clicked it on then started placing her makeup on as Celia grabbed for her purse going though it. "Hey Nani you got your lip gloss in here?"

Nani nods "Yea its in the side pocket." Tari smirks shaking her head "You two one day you'll learn you don't need makeup to look hot." She was dressed in her normal black tight jeans only with a dark blue spaghetti strap shirt then a fishnet top over it. Nani laughs "Sorry but I like looking mysterious when I'm dancing." she continues to apply the black eye shadow then goes looking for her black eye liner.

Surion is amused by this and simply watches the transformation, if it were up to him she wouldn't wear any, only cause he liked her no matter how she looked, she certainly didn't need to look mysterious for him

Once she was finish she put on her lightly lip gloss before grabbing the flashlight tossing it back into her purse along with her mirror, eye shadow and lip gloss. With a smiles she nods to Tari "Okay let's jet." she looks to Surion smiling before glancing out at the forest biting her bottom lip.

Tari nods turning the car over, then making a quick u-turn she heads down the road. Celia turns looking at Surion "We're heading to club stream, Aylana sister works there so we have vip passes. Then we get free food and drink. So I hope you up to having fun.." she winks then looks to Nani "Would you lighten up girl, it will be fun and Ducan won't be there. He suppose to be with my dad tonight anyways.."

Nani nods then just continues to looks at the street. It wasn't Ducan she was worried about, it was Surion. She couldn't look at him without blushing.

Surion sees Nani in Barton. pt 2

"I've not been to a club yet so this should be a fun new experience" He said watching Nani for a moment before turning to face forwards with a small smile on his lips

They drove down the road of Barton only instead of heading off deeper into town they turned right heading into part of town that not many go to. Celia turned smiling "You'll like Stream, on the outside it doesn't look like much, but the inside it great..."

Sure enough just as they pulled up it looked like a run down warehouse. Up in the top corner was a billboard that said 'Stream.' Tari turned pulling into the underground parking lot. Turning off the car she looks at everyone "You gals and guy ready?" Celia nods climbing out. Tinania breaths slowly before nodding. Tari smiling climbing out. Tinania looks to Surion "Ready?"

"As ready as I'll every be" he said with a nod and climbed out then offered her his arm "You?"

Tinania smiles taking his arm as she climbed out of the Jeep. She fixed her skirt before closing the door. Tari nods then turns walking with Celia up towards the bouncer. There was a long line but the girls didn't have to wait. They turned looking back at them.

Tinania gulps then nods "Yea, its strange I'm so use to this place, but tonight I'm totally freaking out...I can't figure out why.." she knew why she just wasn't going to admit it.

Surion frowned a lil "Well I hope you get to figure it out" he mused and then smiled and hummed happily as they walked in. His humming stopped once they got in and he looked around "Whoa insane...."

Tinania smiles, the club had three level, the main floor was the dance floor, the second area was sitting areas closer to the floor, then the floor which they were on was the bar and food area. Music was playing loudly as they walked though the crowd. Tari and Celia had already reached the booth when They got there. Tinania slips in smiling "Okay maybe I am glad I came..."

Already the music was seeping into her skin making her heart match the beat of the music. Aylana walked up smiling "Ah my favorite Trio.. and one more." she tilts her head "Surion, wow when did you shoot up?" she winks at him then Tinania "Better watch yourself, its ladies night Surion which means lots of girls tonight. So the usually drink. Two Mountain Dew, one Dr, Pepper, and for you?" she Glances at Surion.

Aylana was dress in her normal outfit, the long sleeve dark blue crop top and the dark blue mini skirt. Her hair was half up and half down in curls. She looked very much like everyone else only her blue skin gave her away. Tinania was blushing a deep red, and was very happy that they were in the shadow.

"I'll have a ..." he thought for a moment "I'll have whatever Nani is having" he chuckled "Sorry don't know what else to ask for so that works" he smiled nodding at Aylana tapping a toe to the beat of the music as his eyes looked through the darkness, it was pretty easy to see through the darkness, that he had inherited from his father

Aylana smiles nodding "So three mountain dew then, okay I'll be back with your drink in a few," she nods then turning on her heels head back to the bar. Tari smirks then stand "Well I don't know about you three, but I'm going dancing, catch you later.." she slips from the booth then head towards the dance floor.

Aylana walks back up placing there drinks back down "Don't you girl go causing any problems tonight like driving the men crazy, its pack tonight." Celia smiles shaking her head "We won't Aylana..." she moves from the booth looking back to Surion and Nani "You two coming?"

Tinania nods "I will in a bit..." she picks up her drink sipping from it still blushing. Aylana laughs then leaning down she whisper to Surion "Get her to dance then you'll see how she is..." she winks walking away.

Surion blushed lightly at the tips of his ears when Aylana told him this and then looked through the darkness around the table looking at Nani, a smile couldn't help but creep across his face, she was lovely no matter the light "Soo... uhmm" he wasn't entirely sure what to say as he picked up his drink to try it

Tinania smiles sipping her drink "So what do you think, its nothing like I let you have at my house. Course this is the only place I can drink this..." she stops talking when a young women not much older then her walks up to the table.

She smiles looking at Surion "Hey cuties wanna dance? I'm sure you friend wouldn't mind.." she looks at Tinania, Yea this girl was grown, she looked almost like Aylana on shorter hair and was their skin color. Tinania looks at him smiling "Go ahead.. I'll be fine by myself..."

Surion was about to reply to Nani about the drink, he looked towards the girls his tail twitching lazily around the legs of the chair "No thanks, but thanks for the offer" he said, he for one wasn't going to dance with a stranger, besides the fact he only came for one reason... and she was sitting with him at the table

The girl pouts walking away. Tinania arches a brow looking at him "She was hot why didn't go dance with her?" she had a feeling she knew the answer but wanted to make sure.

Before he could answer Celia and Tari come walking back. Celia hands were on her bare waist "Okay you two come on your going to dance.." Celia reached out grabbing Surion as Tari grabbed Nani pulling her out of the booth. For the first time that night Nani laughed "Okay okay fine, lets go drive everyone crazy." she smiles at Tari who winks.

Surion laughed getting up and following Celia as she pulled him "All right all right" he said keeping his tail close to him for wanting to keep it from getting trampled on

Tinania laughs as Tari pulls her out onto the dance floor. The music was fully in her system by the time she got there. She was already moving her body to the beat. She body moving seductively. Tari smiles moving with her friend, Celia soon joining them. There bodies moving as one as Tinania ran her hand though her hair.

Sure enough guys along with girls started watching them, but Tinania wasn't watching them, she was looking right at Surion, wondering if she she move to him and dance with him.

Surion moved to the beat of the music using his tail to his advantage in keeping with the beat of the music, his eyes scanned around them curiously for a moment but stopped moving landing on Nani and smiled as he moved, he didn't bother to talk over the music right there that would have required yelling and he didn't want to yell, just watch

Tari smiles and decide to make this happen. She motion to Surion to come here as she moved away from Tinania. Her eyes were closed as she moved her hips. Her hands were on her waist. Celia smiles as she runs her hands along Nani's stomach before going to the ground. Yea the girls could dance. Coming back she stepped away from Tinania moving to dance with a guy in the crowd.

Tinania opens her eyes when arches a brow seeing Tari and Celia moved from her. She smirks then looking at Surion she made her hips switch as she went to the ground then came back up. She ran her hands along her hair again before motioning him to come to her.

Aylana had been right, on the dance floor Tinania was herself, and she didn't care who watched her. She was free, but at that moment she wanted Surion near her,

Surion moved towards Tari still dancing, he'd have rathered it have been Nani but that was ok it was one of her friends and not a perfect stranger. He watched Nani from the corner of his eye her movements were nearly intoxicating

Tari smiles then dances with Surion. She moved to match his movement. Tinania shakes her head before going back to the ground, she was truly alive her hair flying around her face as she came back up. Some guy try to come to dance behind her she turns to face him as she wrapped her arm around his neck moving her hips against his before pushing him away.

Celia was dancing with someone she did know. Tari leans in close enough so Surion so he can hear her. "There your chance go for it. She not gonna dance with any guy, but I know she'll dance with you..." she step away from him only into the arms of another which happen to be the guy that tried to dance with Tinania. She set it up to prove to let Surion know she was right.

Surion blushed a tiny to be getting 'advice' from Tari in a way but it didn't matter, he turned and moved closer to her coming up from behind moving to the beat of the music, and her beat too it wouldn't do to crash into each other he thought

Tinania looks over her shoulder at Surion and with a smile she turned moving closer to him, she did the same thing with the guy, only this time wrapping one arm around his neck then other running though his hair. Her hips moved against his as she looked into his eyes. With the black eye shadow her eyes seemed to come alive an almost a dark green.

Tari and Celia looked over at each other smiling before they continue to dance with there partners.

Surion smiled making and keeping eye contact with her moving his hands around her waist matching her movements easily

Tinania smiles turning in his arms, her hands still on his neck as she moved against him. All the guys watching would never guess she was all over 16, She moved like she knew what she was doing. She tilts her head to the side closing her eyes as she moved.

Tari and Celia looked around, again like always they had manage to cause a crowd around them as the remix ended. They let out whistles which snapped Tinania back. She opens her eyes then looks at Surion wide eyes, her face turning bright red.

"You are a wonderful dancer" he said close to her ear when she blushed "and cute when you blush" he smiled still not letting her go

Tinania smiles then closes her eyes leaning back against him. She opened them slowly then stepped away from him "I'm gonna go sit back down.." she didn't want to start dancing as the next song started back up. She didn't really wait for Surion either as she took off though the crowd towards the booth.

Tari smirks but didn't move t was Celia who moved close to him "Go with her, she just needs something to drink. That all.." she turns heading back to her partner.

Surion nodded and followed after her moving through the crowd and then over it as it started to get too thick with dancing bodies setting down near the edge and walking the rest of the way tot he table "Hi" he said approaching her

Tinania looks up sipping her drink, she blushes even more smiling "Hey...sorry about my dancing, music just gets to me..." she pushes her hair from her face then moves over alittle so he can sit if he wanted.

Surion slid into the seat next to her "You shouldn't feel sorry for your dancing, you were having fun, and I was having fun dancing with you" he said to her leaning an elbow on the table...

Tinania smiles before leaning back to relaxes "I'm glad your having fun, that what this place is all about..." she pulls her legs up to place on the seat causing her to move closer to him. "And thanks for calling me a good dancer, and don't ask, because I don't know where it came from.." she giggles poking his side.

Surion chuckled "I don't know either, I certainly have never been to any place like this, I'm sure a few days ago I would have been booted right back out" he said and lifted the arm closest to her to rest it on the back of the seat

Tinania giggles "Yea, bit hey, now your part of the vip list so you can come anytime you want. So now you know where to find me if I'm not home.." she looks out to the dance floor smirking "Those two, there truly crazies...they dance from the moment we get here until we leave..."

Aylana smirks as she walks up "And you do too, so what you talking about..." she wink walking pace them to another table. Tinania blushes "She right I do, but I don't feel like it, but you can go back if you want." she looks up at him licking her bottom lip.

"Hi again Aylana" he said and chuckled at her words. He watched the crowd for a moment then looked back at her "Only if you come with me" he said

Tinania shakes her head "I'm fine.." she was moving alittle already to the music. Her hair fell into her face as she looked up at him "So how does it feel to get twenty questions from my friends?" she ran her finger along her belly ring playing with it.

"I'm sure I would have gotten them already had I seen them before today, but it's ok I'm sure they would have got their answers one way or another even if I hadn't replied" he smiled and moved a hand to push her hair out of her face

Tinania doesn't move as he pushes her hair from her face. She giggles "yea we do that to each other boyfriends.." she blushes then coughs alittle "Not meaning...okay I'll keep quiet now..." she was really red now as she picks up her drink downing it.

Surion quirked a brow for a moment catching her words then smiled "You wanna stay here or go for a walk?" he asked her thinking perhaps they'd get to know each other better on a mature level then he knew her if they weren't in a crowd, but he wasn't going to force her if she didn't want to

Tinania looks over at the crowd before smiling "There is the lounge, we could head up there, its VIP only.." she point to an area just above the dance floor. It didn't have many people in it so they would be able to chat. She looks at him smiling "Its really nice, not as loud and we can still watch the dance floor." she moves as she speaking to get up out of the booth.

"That works I suppose" he said chuckling and finishing off his own drink then standing to let her out

Slipping out of the booth she fixed her skirt before taking his hand leading him towards a bouncer off towards the elevator. She smiles to him as they step aside "Thank Mike.." he nods then steps back once they are though.

Surion sees Nani in Barton. pt 3

Reaching the lounge there was maybe two or three people max up there. It was quite and there was couches everywhere far enough to be able to talk in private. She smiles taking the glass of water before looking to Surion "You pick the place to sit, I'll follow.."

Surion nodded and looked around till he spotted a smaller couch designed for two and headed for it "Definitely is quiet up here, well quieter at least" he said with a chuckle and sat

Tinania smiles taking a seat next to him as she sipped her drink "Yea, not many people are allowed up here, its for family only really. That why I'm happy Aylana works here..." she lays her head back on the couch closing her eyes smiling. The music could be heard alittle but not as mind numbing as down below.

Surion nodded "You kinda seemed surprised earlier in that store" he mused thinking about the day thus far

Tinania looks at him blushing "Well yes the last time I saw you, you were a kid after all...you shot up fast.." she blushes looking at her glass of water.

"Yeah, getting a whole new wardrobe was a pain, kinda swiped some of dad's clothes at first... " he smiled softly "You've changed over time too, but I don't have any complaints"

Tinania smirks shaking her head "I haven't changed all that much. I'm still the same, just a few new things." she had a few piercing on her ears, then the belly ring. Her hair was also now to her shoulders but layered. She had also grown in other areas but it didn't phase her. "So was that you I bumped into as I was walking out of the coffee shop?"

"I don't know I didn't really look at whoever knocked into me, I was kinda reading, but I suppose it's a good possibility " he said fiddling with the alchemists pendant a lil

Tinania looks over then leans closer "Hey that something new, I don't remember you wearing that..." she points to the necklace, she also had a necklace it was a clear crystal with a pink gem and a emerald gem. She looks up at him smiling "That pretty..."

Surion looked at it and chuckled "Mom bought it for me when I was a baby, it's an Alchemists necklace it's supposed to increase the users power and skill in alchemy" he said and then moved a hand lightly picking up and putting in his palm the one she wore, he didn't think much about where this had his hand wind up "Yours is pretty, does it have any special meaning?"

Tinania blushes shaking her head "No it was a gift from a fairy queen I met too long ago. She said something about it would guild me to what I wanted to know..." smirking she pulls away laying her head on the back of the loveseat, then moving her feet up only to rest them against Surion's lap. "I haven't quite figured it out, but I'm sure I will soon.." she lays her hand on her thigh smiling "You sure you don't want to be down there dancing, I mean there is alot of hot girls here tonight.."

"Yeah and one of them is sitting with her feet on my lap" he said without really thinking and then turned rather red

Tinania blushes as well looking down "Oh.. " she giggles then pokes him "That was so evil the way you let my friend trick me like that. I wish I could have hid at that point..." she left her hand on his chest for a few seconds before pulling it away. What has gotten into her?

"How did your friends trick you?" he asked catching her hand as she pulled it away from his chest and holding it

She looked down at his hand holding her before looking back up at him "By walking away letting me call, only to have you pick up." she shakes her head." I knew I should have been paying attention. But I was off in my own world like away.." she ran her fingers along his hand as he held her hand.

Surion chuckled "I listened to you guys for a couple minutes, they knew I was there, I kinda figured if you weren't gonna call I might as well... I don't regret it, if I had just walked away you wouldn't have seen that I grew and I wouldn't be sitting with you right here right now" he told her

Tinania blushes then looks down "Yea I be at home working on stuff for next week when school starts up again.." she looks up at him then leaning in she kissing his cheek "Thanks for coming it has been fun here tonight..." she pulls away blushing and smiling at the same time.

Your welcome" he smiled and purred softly at her kiss "Where do you go to school Nani?" he asked her after a moment

Tinania shakes her head "Oh no, I learned everything at home from Nana, Lorelei, and Mera. I'm teaching potions as a teacher this year at the village school on the estate. Its going to be interesting now that Kira off with Drake seeing the world.." she smiles "You can come by one day if you want, just to watch..."

"Mom's taught me everything I know, Mom, Dad and books" he mused "Sure, it'd be fun to see what you are going to teach" he said shifting positions a little so he was ... closer

Tinania smiles "Great you can see me use the magic I know, since I haven't done that yet.." she pauses breathing alittle, she really need to not think about Surion being this close. It was driving her crazy "So what's your plans now that your a teen like me?"

"Learn Alchemy, and claim the one I want..." he said being a lil vague about the last part

Tinania arches a brow smirking, "That great, maybe one day you'll be able to teach me Alchemy.." she was staying away from the last part. She remember him talking about claiming the person he wanted when he was young. She hope that maybe it was just a crush that long since changed. "Um, that kewl..."

Surion chuckled "Yeah once I get the hang of it...." he paused for a moment "Nani.. what are you doing tomorrow?"

Tinania looks at him "Nothing, I'll be home most of the day before I have to go to tree top village to talk to Kiara.. why?" she bite her bottom lip then licked it with her tongue. She couldn't help but look over his features and how handsome he had become.

"Wanted to know if you wanted to get together at some point is all" he said blushing at the tips of his ears and not quite meeting her gaze

Tinania smiles the leans in poking his nose "Sure, how about at the coffee shop. I gotta drop off some of Nana's cakes there anyways for her." she arched a brow looking at him blush then smiles.

Surion nodded "Ok, the coffee shop then" he smiled happy that she agreed he looked up at her again, he no longer had a crush... he had a full blown love, but he wasn't sure if she felt that way about him

Tinania smiles then closes her eyes laying her head back on the back of the love seat. "Sur, the person you want to claim..." she pauses as she opens her eyes slowly "Its not me still is it?"

Surion looked at her "Would it be a bad thing if it was?" he asked her curiously biting his lip with a pointy tooth

Tinania shakes her head "No...just was curious that all." she smiles before looking down at the dancer, her hair falling into her face. "Hehe Celia and Tari got some guys there talking to tonight. And by the looks of it, its the same guys from last time we were here.."

Surion glanced in the direction of Nani's friends and chuckled "I think they want to see you hooked up, they way they were talking today" he said

Tinania smirks "There always trying to hook me up with someone. But each time I turn them down...the guy Matt, who tried to dance with me. He use to have a crush on me, but when Tari showed up, he fell for her. I'm just waiting for mister right, and so far I haven't seen him in any of these guys. I want someone who understand me, and makes me melt when I see them.." she stops talking her cheeks turning a rose color.

Surion smiled and reached over tracing a finger on her cheek, it followed the pattern of her tattoo "You are cute when you blush... " he said "and I understand what you mean..." he said before letting his hand drop and looking towards the dance floor again

Tinania eyes widen alittle, no one had ever touched her tattoo before. This only cause her to blush even more "So what you looking for in the woman you fall in love with.." she looks to the dance floor again. Celia was already back out on the dance floor, and Tari well, she was getting cozy with her partner.

"Me? intelligent, kind, caring those are the main things really" he told her and then looked towards her again

Tinania smiles "Well that shouldn't be too hard to find..." she was watching the dance floor as her bangs fell into her face again.

"It isn't not when you've already found that in someone" he liked her short hair and was glad she had kept it

Tinania looks at him then blushes "Sur..." she looks away hiding her face with her hair.

"What Nani?" he asks curiously still watching her

Tinania blushes shaking her head "Nothing..."

Surion nodded "Ok" he said and then grew quiet fiddling with his necklace again

Tinania looks over then leaning over she moves closer to look at the necklace better. She was inches from him as a soft smell of roses was coming from her hair. She looked up at him which caused her to be inches from his lip. "Why do you play with your necklace so much?"

"Uhm, cause I'm a lil nervous" he said in a near whisper staring into her eyes taking in her scent moving a hand from the pendant to brush her bangs out of her face

Tinania closes her eyes only for a moment before opening them again. She pulls away looking at him "About what?" she took one of his hands into her that way he didn't play with his necklace. She ran her fingers lightly over the palm.

"You to be honest... I still really like you... I don't know if you still look at me as the kid you babysat all the time or not or just a friend or what" he slightly rambled and blushed

Tinania blushes scared this would come up. "And here I thought you had gotten over me..." she smirks looking at him "Sur, I don't know what to think, there these feelings inside I don't understand at all. Part of me want to run, but the other part wants to stay here..." she stops talking looking at her lap playing with the hem of her skirt. "But I'll tell you one thing, I don't see you as that little kid I babysat, that for sure. Your handsome, hell your downright hot..." she blushes then shakes her head "Okay I'm shutting up now..."

Surion's blush stayed right where it was especially when she said he was hot. "Yeah, what makes you want to run?" he asked quietly

Tinania looks at him smiling "Being this close, yea I use to hold you, but now being this close just makes thing different. Its like I don't know. I like it, and that what scares me..." she really didn't want to say anything wrong. She looked away looking back at her lap.

Surion nodded "I doubt it if it makes any difference but I like you this close myself, actually I love it...." He told her watching her glad they weren't trying to have this talk over the huge amount of noise at the booth

Tinania blushes then smiles "Yea I kind of guessed that when you moved closer to me..." she giggles then pokes his stomach. This was really hard, she couldn't even kiss his forehead if she wanted to because she knew she end up blushing.

Surion chuckled her poke tickled, his stomach wasn't at all flabby so her poke went straight to the muscle "You are going to take advantage of knowing where I'm ticklish all my life aren't you" he mused

Tinania nods then smiles "Yup...knowing your ticklish and where could be a good thing for me.." she runs her fingers along his stomach before blushing, pulling her hand away from his stomach. "beside its not like you won't use me not liking you sad against me.." she wrinkles her nose then smiles.

Surion laughed "I suppose" he said and took hold of her hand as it pulled away by it's fingers and brought it to his lips to kiss it before letting it go "Well you know how I feel, I guess it's a wait and see from here"

Tinania blushes then shakes her head "You really are going to try and pursue me aren't you?"

"Yes, until the day you are not available to pursue, meaning till the day you are taken...." he said

Tinania smirks then looks away "Then I have a feeling I'm in trouble.." she was actually teasing him. She shivered alittle as the ac up in the lounge clicked on. "I didn't notice how hot it was until just now.." she looked at him blushing.

Surion looked around "No that wasn't hot... least not compared to the cliffs" he mused "You ok though?" he asked having seen her shiver

Tinania nods still shivering alittle "Yea, but the fairy in me, I don't take to well to the cold.." she couldn't help it, she moved closer to him just because she knew he was warm.

Surion smiled "I could offer you my shirt if it'd help... " he told her seriously

Tinania shakes her head before laying it against his chest. Her back rest against him "No, I like it right here..." she looks up at him smiling "Unless you want me to move.."

"I just thought I'd offer, but no I don't want you to move" he said and put an arm over her shoulder purring softly and very very happy about this closeness

Tinania smiles closing her eyes "Surion...how did you manage to get this close to me..." she places her hand over his tilting her head to the side.

Surion looked down at her "You know Nani I don't really entirely know, Perhaps having known you all my life helped... " he said it seemed to him more like the time for a serious answer then a playful one

Tinania smiles then hugs his arms "Yea must be so...which is a good thing..." she turns kissing his chin before laying her head back on his shoulder closing her eyes.

Surion smiled and purred holding her close "I'm glad for quiet places" he said quietly staring out a the spotlights of the club

Tinania arches a brow before glancing at him "Oh really what is that?" she pokes at his nose lightly then giggles.

"Could you imagine trying to have the conversation we just had out there in that?" he asked motioning out the window to the noisy club below

Tinania giggles "I've done it before with Celia and Tari. You get use to it really..." she moves alittle to get into a better sitting position.

Surion laughed "I haven't, I've got decent hearing, but still" he moved his arm to let her move

Tinania moves to lay her head in his lap, she looks up at him smirking "You'll just have to come with us a few more times then until you are use to it..." she looking back at the dancers running her finger along his pants leg without a thought.

"Sure, It would be fun to come here with you" he said resting his hand on her waist his other hand played with the ends of her hair

Tinania smiles then giggles "Yea your a good dancer you know that?" she closes her eyes trying to ignore what Surion's hand was doing to her as it laid there on her waist. "I'm glad I got to dance with ya.."

"If I come more often then you will get to again... I gotta give you credit though, I kinda was following your lead" he said watching her rather then the dancers

Tinania turns causing his hand to rest on her flat belly. "Well one day I'm gonna have to follow your lead.." she moved her hand up to poke his nose but instead she ran it along his cheek "So...hott.." she blushes covering her mouth with both hands. Why did I have to say that out loud?

Surion chuckled "Thankyou, I'm glad I didn't turn out ugly" he winked he ran a finger down the side of her face "beautiful, as usual"

Tinania laughs then hides her face "Oh no I am not..." she was really hiding the blush that came to her face. She peeks at him though her fingers "No you didn't become ugly at all Sur...not at all.."

With a soft smile Surion takes his hand from her belly and gently pulls her hands away from her face "Yes , you are, and noone should ever try to convince you otherwise, cause they'd be lying through their teeth" he said then traced her tattoo with his index finger and then poked her nose gently

Tinania gasp sitting up laughing "I know you did not just poke my nose.." she was laughing as she moved sitting on his lap, her legs on both sides of his legs tickling his stomach.

Surion burst out laughing as he was tickled and tried to retaliate "I did too" he said between laughs

Tinania continues to tickle him laughing "Well then I'll have to tickle you then.."

"Gack! Not that!" he said between laughter trying to get her back and protect himself at the same time

Tinania giggles then stops "Okay I'll stop then.."

Surion panted softly trying to catch his breath and looks at her with a soft smile "you don't like your nose poked?" he asked

Tinania smiles then shakes her head "No I don't mind, I just felt like tickling you.." she moved trying to get off his lap, she knew she was in trouble now.

Surion laughed "Well you did that that's for sure" he said resting his hands on her knees before she moved, he kinda hoped she'd stay there, he liked her there

Tinania turns looking at him then smiles not moving "Yup I can always make you laugh...." she looked down at his hand on her knee then smiles. "So why have you been quiet, it seems like you want to do something.." she bit her bottom lip then places her hand over his hand that was on her knee.

"I'm quiet?" he asked then shrugged "I don't know, Nothing specific I can think of doing right now besides spending time with you" he mused

She laughs then shakes her head "Silly...your always gonna wanna be around me aren't you?" she runs a finger along the horns on his head, not knowing that she would do anything bad.

Surion shivered and bit his lip looking at her

Tinania pulls her hands away arching a brow "You okay sweetie?"

"Mmhmm" Surion nodded though his voice a tad more high pitched. He clears his throat "Yeah I'm... ok" he said more normal sounding

Tinania shrugs then goes back to running her finger along his horn. She looked down at him this time, she had a feeling she knew what got him but she wanted to see if she was right.

"Nanniii" he whined a lil shivering and biting his lip "You aren't being fair"

Tinania giggles then smiles "I thought I was right, just had to be sure, sorry" she leans in kissing his forehead.

Surion smiled softly at her kiss relieved she left it, right then at least "You could have asked" he said quietly "Just doesn't exactly help how I'm feeling right now... "

Tinania couldn't help it she smiles "Oh really and how do you feel right now?" her hands were on her waist as she looked down at him very curious.

"Like kissing you" he said honestly with a soft sigh looking at his hand on her knee

Tinania eyes widen alittle, that she wasn't expecting. She blushes then looks away "Um...okay..." she was not sure at all what to say.

Surion bit his lip "Uhm I guess I shouldn't have said that, I think I killed the conversation" he mumbled and looked down

Tinania laughs shaking her head "No, no its alright I just was shocked that all. You seem to like surprising me alot..." she pokes his chest then smiles.

That when Celia tap Tinania shoulder "Hey you two what you been doing up here all this time?" Tinania blushes and instantly hides her face against Surion's shoulder which didn't help the matter at all. Celia laughs looking at Surion "You two having fun?"

Surion hadn't even heard her friend come up and goes a lil red himself looking up at her "Yeah... how long have you been there?" he asked

Celia smirks "Um about ten minutes, at least. I was over by the door.." she point towards the door and there was Tari along with the two guys they were dancing with that night all smiling.

Tinania groan hearing this she shook her head, she wasn't happening.

"Oh.... uhmmm... " Surion isn't sure what to say right them and the color of his face quickly matches that of his shirt

Celia laughs shaking she head "Come on, we gotta jet...the place is closing in about five minutes....you two must have been busy to not hear the warning...." she winks but is startled as Tinania got up pushing past her then running past the others out the door.

Tari eyes widen in shock as she looks to Celia "I think we just went too far.."

Surion sighs and stands heading for the door "We were only talking" he said and followed after Nani to see if she's ok

Surion sees Nani in Barton. pt 4

Tari and Celia both winced before saying goodbye to the guys. They followed out after them only to stop along the way to pick up their things from Aylana.

Tinania was already at the car, her arms around her waist as she stood there looking at the ground. "Why did Celia have to do that? Now he gonna think I look bad or something.." she frowns kicking the wheel of the car with her boot.

Surion walked out from the club and up behind her putting a hand gently on her shoulder "You ok?" he asked quietly

Tinania nods then turns to him "Yea I'm fine, sorry I ran out so quickly...." she looked at the ground shivering alittle, more from being upset then the cold.

"Hey it's ok... they did go a lil far on their teasing. But you know what?" he asked standing in front of her then put a finger under her chin moving to lift it "It makes no difference how I feel about you... They've teased as long as I can remember, I don't think it should effect you here" he points to her heart

Tinania blushes then without thing she wraps her arms around his waist laying her head on his chest "Thank you Sur, and your right it doesn't " she pulls away before leaning up to whisper in his ear "You just seem to..." she kisses his cheek before laying her head back on his chest.

Tari and Celia walk up slowly, Tari was the one to speak up "Um...is it too late to say were sorry?" Celia was looking at Tinania then at Surion.

Tinania looks up at Surion and smirks "I don't know what do you think sweetie?"

Surion purred quietly and then looked towards Nani's friends and then back to Nani pretending to think about it "I think I could handle accepting that"

Tari and Celia both laugh then smiles "Well we gonna head home...I don't know about you two but I'm tired.." she unlocks her door causing all the doors to open. Celia slips into the car then Tari does turning the engine over.

Tinania smirks then looking at Surion she touches his face lightly before turning to slip into the car also.

Surion smiled sighing contently and then following them into the car beside Nani

Once they were in the car Tari pulled out of the parking lot leaving old Barton. But with the place being so busy they got caught in the traffic like always. Celia shakes her head closing her eyes "Wake me when we get home.."

Tinania moves closer to Surion then moves so she was sitting in his lap, she wraps her arms around his neck laying her head on his shoulder her eyes closed. She too was alittle tired.

Surion purred softly he knew it was a calming sound at times but he didn't mind. He shifted a tad to make sure he was comfortable too and wrapped his arms loosely around her watching the stars in the sky as the vehicle move

The car moved slowly thanks to the traffic, Celia had indeed fallen asleep, Tari had turns the radio on to some soft rock then hummed along to it watching the cars in front of her. She knew this was going to be a long ride.

Tinania listens to Surion purr then touched his cheek lightly looking at him. For some reason this felt so right to her. She giggles before kissing his cheek inches from his lips before laying her head back down on his shoulder.

Surion smiled "Thanks for a fun night" he said softly to her touching her cheek and holding her close

Tinania smiles nodding "No problem Sur.." she runs her fingers along his hair just watching him. She had to do it, she wanted to see if he really reacted to her touch. She moved her finger to run along the horn again in his hair.

Tari glances back then smiles turning to look back at the road. She was glad these two were getting very comfortable, if anything it could help Tinania out.

Surion shivered and looked down at her "Nani that's one of the most sensitive parts of a dragonic's body..." he whispered to her just staring into her eyes

Tinania smiles looking into his eyes "I know, kind of guess that the second time..." she pulls her hand away to lay it on his chest. Yea she was now teasing him.

Surion chuckled softly and shook his head "Tease" he said to her quietly "But then you seemed surprised when my finger followed the pattern of this" he said lifting a hand to touch her face where her tattoo was

Tinania closed her eyes smiling before opening them "No one ever touched that mark that why.. and yes I am a tease, couldn't you tell on the dance floor?" she touched the horns again only because she liked the reaction she got from him.

"Yes" he squeaked lightly and shivered. "My dad would say I shouldn't let you touch those" he told her after a minute "He says they are reserved for the mate..." he elaborated a lil bit made no effort to stop her

Tinania looks at him then nods pulling her hand away from his horns "Okay then I'll leave them alone." she leans in kissing his forehead light then closes her eyes keep silent. Her hair that was behind her ears had fallen around her face once again.

Surion pushed the hair gently from her face Maybe one day... way down the road he thought to himself he thought she looked peaceful right then

Tinania opens her eyes looking up at him. She smiles before running a finger along his bottom lip. She sighs alittle then just closes her eyes again.

Surion kissed her finger gently "Sleep if you are tired" he said softly thinking about their conversation

Tinania nods then wrapping her arms around his neck. She hadn't mean to be tired but she also didn't want to fall asleep on him. But she did just as he told her drifting off to sleep peacefully in his arms.

Tari smiled when the finally were able to turn heading back into Barton she looks back to them "Hey Surion you want me to drop you off first, or would you rather I just take you to Nani place?"

Surion debated this, after all Nani was asleep in his lap "Uhmmm might as well just go to the Haven I can call mom from there" he said after a moment

Tari nods turning down the road. They passed the coffee shop before heading off to a dirt road though the wood. At this point Tari pushed a button on her dash board. This cause a hard top to move and snap into place over there heads. She turned for a second looking at Surion "Sorry but we got some really evil things in this forest. Its not safe at night.." she turned passing by a pond before following the stream towards the Manor.

"That's ok I understand how that one goes, we had some nasty things around the shop, or so Garion likes to tell me, the Balan fought a bit of a war with them a while ago" he spoke quietly not wanting to wake Nani

Tari nods "Yea well there demons and people in those forest looking to take Nani and Mein away, its one reason why we live here and why were always with her.." she stops when they come to the Manor. Tari nods "It looks like Krista stayed in town tonight, so Tinania alone again..." she turns looking at Surion "You want me to help you with her, or do you think you got it?"

"Wonderful that she has such caring friends." Surion smiled "put the top down for a moment and I think I can get out easy enough"

Tari smiles "Yea we pick on her, but we love her, she like a sister to us all." she nods before pushing the button on the dash board again. This cause the hard top to moved then click back into place on the back of the car. "Um, her room is on the third level, just look for the dark purple room. That her room...." she smiles then winks "Oh Surion, if anything I think you have a chance winning her heart.."

Surion blushed "I hope so, I've been hoping to for a long while" he said and slipped an arm under her legs and lifted himself and her only to put his feet down on the ground beside the jeep "The joys of floating, I can see why mom misses it" he said to Tari before turning to take Nani inside.

Tari smiles then turn the engine back over "Oh Surion one more thing, her room will be the only one with the door open..." with that she takes off heading down the road. In the distance Elven music can be heard.

Surion chuckled softly watching her drive off "Well that will make it easier to find" he said and went in remembering where he once heard his mom say the spare key was, "Now third level" he murmured softly he hoped he was going in the right direction as he climbed the stairs

Sure enough Surion was going the right way. As he reached the third level the hallway was lit with candles. It gave it an almost haunting look which didn't help as a ghost floated though one door only into another door. Tinania room was on the left side down near the end. It was open just as Tari said it would be.

"Oh dear Visha" he mumbled watching the ghost and then shaking his head lightly, walked to her room slipping in and looking around, he thought it looked nice, purple wasn't exactly his color but that was ok, it was obviously hers. He walked over to the bed and slowly set her down

Tinania stirred alittle opening her eyes "Surion..."

"Yup, you fell asleep" he said softly smiling at her

Tinania smiles yawning "I'm sorry, I didn't mean too..."

"Don't worry about it, you were tired and obviously needed it" he said and brushed her bangs aside "I guess I should probably let you go back to sleep, sleep well, and I'll see you tomorrow"

There was a giggle coming from the shadows "He touched her, does he mean her harm? Is he friend or foe?" the giggles picked up again as a maiden ghost flew by in a see though green.

Tinania shakes her head smiling as she closed her eyes "He means no harm Meria....its little Sur?"

The giggles picked back up "Little Sur can it be? But he not so little anymore.." she appears standing in the door way looking right at Surion "Did he grow also?"

Surion turned to the voice and blinked "Ok I wasn't imagining things" he mused "Uh yeah, I grew up, definitely aren't little anymore" he confirmed the spirit's words

Meria smiles then moves around him "Let me see, let me see. No you don't mean harm to her.. But you do love her.. yup that you do..." with that she vanished leaving only her giggles to be heard.

Tinania smirks sitting up "Sorry about Meria, she can be silly sometimes..."

Surion blushed slightly and turned back to Nani "She can sense emotions can't she" looking at her sitting on the bed

Tinania nods "Yea she can along with Coral, the other one were not sure. I think she the one you don't want to make mad.." she pauses licking her bottom lip "Sur is what she said true?" she looked up at him, as she laid back pulling her covers over her body.

"Well you already know I mean you no harm.. So I'm guessing you mean the love part.. and yeah I do. I respected you didn't want a kid with a crush constantly pestering you about his feelings. But it didn't stop them from being there or growing, so I guess I have to say it's nice to be the age to say it without seeming like some silly kid"

Tinania blushes then leaning over placing her hand on his cheek lightly "Sur why don't we try um..." okay why was this so hard to say, she looks down breathing before looking up at him "Dating.."

Surion smiled "I'd like that Nani, I really would, more then I think I could say" he replied putting a hand atop of hers

Tinania smiles then nods "I like that too..." she couldn't help it she ran her finger quickly over his horn before giggling laying back against her head board.

Surion shivered "Nani one day that's gonna make ... never mind" he said going beet red

Tinania smirks then tilts her head "No what were you going to say, or I'll do it again.." she was serious.

"Pounce you" he mumbled going even redder

Tinania blushes then looks away "Oh..." she giggles then looks at him "Wouldn't want that now would we?" she yawns again shaking her head, "Stupid sleep..."

"Sleep Nani.. you need it, and I should head home before I get grounded and not be able to meet you in Barton tomorrow" he said softly giving her a smile feeling absolutely on cloud nine

Tinania nods slipping under the covers "I'll see you tomor-" she never got the sentence finished as she drifted off to sleep. She seem so peaceful a she laid there, her hand near her face.

Surion watched her for a moment then slipped out of her room unsure if he should close her door he left it half open and walked back through the building calling his mom on his way, getting in minor trouble for not calling a lil earlier but not bad enough to get grounded as he locked the front door behind him and took to the air

Hey there Journal...

Wow, I grew, I look good, man I look good. Dad gave me gold to go get new clothing, course I HAD to wear clothing that was his... But you know I dont think that was that bad a thing, his style is different yet oddly similar to mine.

Went clubbing with her too, and her friends too but thats ok... I danced with her, it was almost like we were meant to be one, moving and acting as one... I got to know Nani in a way I'd never done before... and theres still so much of the future yet to come!

Well till tomorrow journal... For tomorrow... I take her on our first date...

Note to self... bug dad for some extra gold to buy Nani that book as a gift

Surion talks to his dad

Torvil puttered around his lab, no longer having it locked as he knew Surion wouldn't muck around without his permission. He started to mix a little of his own blood with some quicksilver, being very careful, as that mixture was rather explosive...

Surion himself had slept in having been out rather late, but it was now mid-morning and he was up and dressed and ready to go out... just one thing remained. "Dad can I have some gold?" he asked poking his head around the corner into he lab

There was silence for a few moments. "Why?" Torvil asked, not turning around to look at Surion, as he was really concentrating on his mix.

"To get Nani a present" he admitted

Torvil chuckled softly. "And why's that?" He said, as he slowly shook the mix.

"Wouldn't you buy the girl you are dating a gift?" he asked biting his lip ready to duck if need be

Torvil let out a laugh, and stopped mixing. "So that's why you were out so late..." He said softly with a smile.

Surion blushed "Uh kinda... we didn't actually agree to date till just before I came home" he said going rather red in the tips of his ears

Torvil chuckled softly and shook the mix a little more. "Well... I guuueeeesssss..." He chuckled. "I could... If you... I dunno..." He tapped his chin. "Told me everything... Spill it now..." He said. "Oh and catch if you don't want to go flinging into a wall..." He chucked the stoppered mix at Surion.

Surion's eyes went a lil wide as he moved to catch the vial his necklace swinging against the silk shirt he was wearing "Daaddd geez, I'd rather live to date Nani" he said relieved when the vial didn't explode in his hands "And what do you what to know, I'm sure mom already told you I went to a dance club with Nani and a couple of her friends"

Torvil chuckled. "Yes she did... But I still want to know, how much do you love Nani?" He said softly and looked at his nails.

"A lot, have for a long time, and she knows that, she kinda wormed it out of me after we got back from the hunt" he said looking at the vial he now held

Torvil chuckled. "It's not going to explode..." He murmured, grinning. "Well I have to say... I'm.... Rather..." He let the pause go for a good while. "Proud of you." He smiled. "I like Nani, and I'm glad you love her..." He chuckled softly.

Surion smiled softly after listening to his father and then looked up "She thinks I'm hot dad" he smirked "But yeah I love her, I suppose it doesn't help that I've known her my entire life, heck I can remember nearly everything I've ever done with her.. well save for when I was a baby...."

Torvil smiled and chuckled. "Well I guess I can spot you... some..." He smiled and leaned on the counter rubbing his hand where he'd drained the blood. "How much do you need... And well... Here... Come with me..."

Surion put down the vial "Thanks" he said sounding a bit relieved as he followed his father and told him how much the gift he wanted to get was. It wasn't overly cheap, but Surion had certainly seen more expensive items before... and he knew she wanted it

Torvil however didn't head for his horde, he headed out the back door, he stopped a small bush that sported small red flowers.

Surion looked at the bush curiously and then at his father

"Do you remember the flower your cousin's wife had in her hair?" He said softly as he reached for the largest blossom.

Surion nodded "Yeah I do, I remember him talking about it just before we left" he said a light bulb going off in his head

Torvil smiled and slowly handed him the flower. "Good, then you know what this means..." He said softly, as he stood. "Now lets see about that gold..." He murmured.

Surion nodded and took it smiling happily at it "Yeah, thanks dad" he said before turning to follow after his father glad now to have actually talked to his father he had been thinking of just asking his mom, but he had a feeling he'd REALLY get grilled if he did

"Sooo..." Torvil said stopping in his room and kneeling beside the bed. "When can I expect Grandkids from you?" He smirked.

"Dad!, I'm not crazy like Vin and Lene and Vina are! I'll wait till I'm an adult" he went absolutely beet red

Torvil chuckled softly and smirked. "So... When are you and Nani going to..." He murmured softl, leaving it open.

"Going to what dad" he eyed his father blushing at the direction this conversation had taken

Torvil chuckled. "Get intimate I guess..." He smirked and slowly pulled a board loose.

"Dad! geesh we're only teenagers, She's not like our kind are" he had a feeling it was going to take a while for his face to return to it's normal color at this rate

Torvil smirked and chuckled softly. "Sure, sure..." He said softly. "So, any... urges lately?" He asked softly.

"Uhm not ... really" he mumbled remembering suddenly her touch along the surface of his horn

"You sure? Cause she might not be ready, but you're getting close... I can... Help with that... Well your brother can..." He said softly.

Surion nodded "I doubt she is ready for that, her own feelings were kinda scaring her last night, and that was just about maybe having feelings for me..."

Torvil nodded. "Well just be careful okay, parts of you are probably starting to become sensitive to touch, horns, tail... Eventually wings when you start to stress out..." He said softly.

"Yeah I know my horns are sensitive" he mumbled, his tail though hadn't been so bad and he certainly didn't have wings just yet

Torvil's brow shot up. "Nani wasn't groping your horns was she?"

"Uh she ran a finger along one... she didn't know though.. I told her what you said about horns" he rambled

Torvil nodded slowly and chuckled, slowly pulling out a little bit more gold than Surion had asked for.

"Yeah... well she knows now" Surion said with a nod

Torvil nodded. "The minute you start urging call or come find me... Trust me, it's hard to control, just ask your mum..." He said softly and he slowly put the gold in the bag. "And Get Nani something pretty and shiny too, there should be enough in there. You're a Rakamash after all, and we pamper our loves..." He smiled tossing Surion the bag of gold.

Surion laughed "Yeah I've noticed you pamper mom" he said catching the bag... "Thanks dad"

Torvil chuckled. "You're welcome Surion... Just be safe and be smart..." He leaned against the bedpost after he placed the board back. "Don't be crazy, and don't do stupid things, We've raised you well I think, and I trust your judgment. In my eyes and in the eyes of the cliffs you are an adult now..." He chuckled and brushed his hair.

Surion nodded listening to his father's words "K dad" he said fidgeting with the pendant of his necklace

Torvil smiled softly and looked at him. "I'm happy for you, I really am..." He sighed a little and looked up. "I'm glad very few of my children feel what I got to..."

Surion nodded slowly "You have mom now, and you are a good father, just keep that in your mind" he said

Torvil nodded slowly. "Yeah I know... But still..." He sighed. "Lots of what ifs... I wasn't that great a father to Vina you know..."

"She doesn't seem to hold it against you..." he said and pocketed the gold

Torvil nodded. "She had Magic..." He murmured. "And I think I did a better job when she came to live with us at the shop, your mum helped too..."

Surion nodded "Yeah I'm not exactly surprised she did, Mom has always struck me as that kind of person"

Torvil nodded. "Yeah, she helped Vina out a lot..." He smiled softly and lay his head back. "Surion... Just promise me you'll come to me with notes if you and Nani go at it okay?"

"Uh that won't be any time soon" he said blushing "I should go, I need to go get this gift before I'm due to meet up with her" he said and started moving towards the door

Torvil laughed. "Go, go... Get thy a** to thine lover!" He smirked and slowly walked towards him. "And tell her your dad said hi..."

Surion nodded and bolted out of the room towards his own

Torvil laughed all the way back to his lab, picked up his vial, shook it to more times and watched as it turned gold.

(( Note: The Red Flower is a sign of Love and the desire to be with a person forever... In the cliffs it can be an engagment ring of sorts, and small chldren often pick them and give them to those they have crushes on. They are worn in the hair, and generally stay there until they wilt. ))

First Date

Surion hummed to himself sitting at a table in the coffee shop where they had agreed to meet, he wore his black jeans another red silk shirt and boots, he was leaning on a package in a brown paper bag

Tinania landed at the edge of town. She stepped off the hover disc. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. She had on her black pin strip jeans and blue tank top that said spoiled she pushed her bangs out of her face as she walked across the street heading for the coffee shop.

Surion fidgeted nervously and looked at the clock , he knew they'd been out late, he hoped she was still coming

Stepping into the coffee shop she looked around before spotting him "Sur..." she smiles walking up towards him.

Surion looked up hearing his name a smile spread across his face and he stood up "Nani, you look great" he said the first thing that came to his mind though he chuckled internally at the words on her shirt

Tinania smiles then giggles "Aylana gave it to me, she said I needed to where blue more often.." she blushes then hugs him laying her head on his chest "Thanks for taking care of me last night.."

Surion wrapped his arms around her waist "It was my pleasure" he said looking down at her "You look good in blue, you look good in anything actually"

Tinania giggles pushing away from him "Yea sure I do" she winks then tilts her head looking at the brown package "Whats that?"

Surion smiled then looked a the package "Oh, that's for you... something for your free time" he said picking it up and handing it to her

Tinania arches a brow looking at the package "For my free time? Hmmm" she slowly pulls the brown paper away from the box.

"Uh yeah, your free time, however much of it you might have left once you start teaching potions, and uhm when I'm not abouts" he said. The box itself was plain, but it wasn't entirely light books never really were light, less they were small

Tinania placed the box down on the table. She looked at him before looking at the box as she popped it open. There inside was the book on all types of healings. She had been reading it yesterday.

She had to cover her mouth to stop from screaming, she turned wrapping her arms around Surion again holding him close "Thank you!!!"

Surion smiled "You're welcome Nani, hope you find whatever info you might need in it" he said to her holding her and purring softly

Tinania smiles pulling away as she picked up the book flipping though it "I hopefully will, this was the only healing book I didn't have.." she turns touching his cheek with her hand smiling "Thank you..."

She was happy, she looked his features over running her fingers along his cheek before pulling her hand away "So what the plan today?"

"Nothing in particular, we could walk, we could get stuff for a picnic, I dunno, I just wanted to spend time with you in general" he said lifting a hand and running it softly along her cheek

Tinania closes her eyes smiling before opening them "A picnic sounds good. I haven't eaten at all today..." she takes his hand from her cheek and holds it "Wanna held to the deli mart to get some sandwiches and such?"

Surion smiled "Sounds like a plan to me, we can't have you hungry now" he chuckled giving her hand a gentle squeeze

Tinania smirks then giggles pulling him towards the door "Okay lets go then, I know a great picnic spot." she smiles back at him holding her book in her hand.

Surion laughed "Lead the way Nani" he said glad she liked getting the book.

Tinania smiles then walked across the street heading towards the deli. She was still holding his hand, which was a surprise, she hadn't pulled away from him.

Surion moved closer to her he wanted to put his hand around her waist as they walked, he pulled his hand from her grip and slipped it around her waist

Tinania looked down at her waist then back at him. Blushing she looks away as they walk into the deli. She looked over all the different meats and deli's. She turned a little wrapping her arms around his waist "So what do you want to get?"

Surion looked up at the boards of info and at the displays "Sandwiches and drinks are a good start... and if I remember correctly you like fruit" he smiled, didn't really take remembering, he knew

Tinania blushes nodding "Yea I do, but so does most elves..." she giggles looking at all the different fruit. There was strawberries, blueberries, apples. She licked her bottom lip eyes the strawberries and apples.

"Pick whatever you might like, you know best your tastes" he said and worked on getting the sandwiches ordered while she did

Tinania smiles then orders her strawberries, apples, then some cream cheese. She smiles taking the two small bowls then handed some gold to him.

Surion shook his head and dropped the gold back into her hand "This one is on me" he said softly before turning to get the rest of the food and pay for it all

Tinania looks at him the blushes. Grabbing one of the picnic baskets she placed her lunch into before grabbing a blanket. She held the basket open "Anything else?"

"Only if you can think of anything" he said "cept this" he said remembering something and pulling from where he hid it, a red blossom which he reached to put it in her hair

Tinania giggles then touches the blossom before grabbing some fruit punch for them. With a nod she smiles "Okay that everything.."

Surion nodded and offered her his arm and offered to take the basket after all she had the book to carry "Shall we?"

Tinania nods handing the basket to him before taking his arm, placing her though his "Yes we shall, just where now?"

"Well, you said you knew a perfect place, we could walk there together" he said smiling at her he purred softly seeing the flower in her hair

Tinania nods "Well there this wall just outside of town, its right near Bass'ken lake. We could go there.. Not many people do.." she laid her head against his arm as she looked up at him.

"Sounds like a plan." he started to head in the direction she mentioned "You look so peaceful when you are asleep" he mused

Tinania blushes then giggles "Really?" she pushes her bangs from her face as they walked. She remember he placed her in her bed. "So how much did Meria scare you?"

"Well to be honest first time I saw her I thought I was imagining things, but it's hard to be too scared of a giggling spirit" he admitted

Tinania smiles nodding "True, but she was only giggling because she already knew you wouldn't hurt me. If you were there to hurt me...Well let just say it wouldn't have been pretty.." she pokes his stomach then smiles as they walk though the opening into town.

They were far now, all they had to do was take the dirt path, then look for the sign that said 'Old wall'.

"I can only picture that, so they know me as little Sur huh" he chuckled smirking softly

Tinania blushes then nods "Yea, I always called you Little Sur when I talked with mum.." she looks at him then giggles "But I can't call you Little Sur anymore..."

Just as Tinania had said, there was an old ruin wall, there wasn't a soul around, there were a few trees. It was quite and away from everything that deals with the big cities.

Surion laughed "No I suppose not, so what will you call me now" he said and looked around before setting down the basket turning to look at her

Tinania looks at him, looking him before blushing "Sur, like I have been...Or Surion..." she pokes his belly before waving her hand. The blanket unfolded then laid itself out on the grass before she looks a seat "I'm always gonna be Nani?"

"Or Tinania, Whatever the situation warrants, or 'Love'..." He mused

Tinania blushes then shakes her head "Hmm love, that sounds sweet, but I can't see myself being called that. At least not right now..." she looked away, she could, and hoped he would but she didn't wanted to admit it.

"Then for now, I'll call you Nani" he said moving to turn her face back "Wouldn't want you to be uncomfortable, everything has it's time" he said and after a moment smirked and poked her nose

Tinania laughs then wrinkles her nose up "Yup..." she opened the basket pulling out his food to hand it to him before pulling her own out.

Surion took the food from her sitting to face her, it felt like him not all that long ago he had been admitting the crush he held for her

Tinania pops her bowls open. She licked her lips before picking up a strawberry. She dipped it into the cream cheese before taking a bite. She felt very happy, which was a surprise to her.

She glances at Surion as she licked the cream cheese off her bottom lip. "So how your sandwich?"

Surion looked down at his sandwich, he hadn't actually taken a bite yet he'd been watching her "Oh uhm I don't know yet" he blushed and quickly took a bite

Tinania giggles before moving to lay on her side. She placed her head on her arm as she looked around. "This place is great, its peaceful. No one will every bother you here.."

"Peaceful is good" he said moving closer to her "especially for a picnic on what I suppose would be considered a first date"

Tinania looks at him blushing then nods looking at him "Yea I guess you can say this is a first date.." she giggles then pokes his stomach. "Course that means were dating.."

Surion laughed "I should tickle you back now" he said putting the sandwich down and moving to tickle her side

Tinania shakes her head "Surion don't you dare..." she holds her hands out in front of her as she moves to get away from him.

"Why not" he asked watching her eyes wiggling his fingers

Tinania moving to a sitting potion only moving backward "Because your not allowed to..." she looked away only to find a way away from him.

Surion pouted playfully "And you are?" he asked the playfulness seeping into his voice as he set his hand on the blanket

Tinania nods "Yup.." she leans in poking him a few times just to prove her point.

Surion tried to get away from her pokes "And why would that be" he said laughing as he moved

Tinania smiles then stop "Because I think you like when I tickle you, only means I'm closer to you..." she curls up close to him hugging him

"Yeah I like closeness of you, even if it's tickly" he admitted and wrapped his arms around her

Tinania smiles then looks at him before looking out at the few trees around them "You know what, this means our mums are right...." she sits up shaking her head "Man thats evil...."

"Perhaps they planted that seed way back when, but they were, but at the same time we are the ones in control of our emotions and feelings" he mused reaching a hand to brush aside her bangs and run his fingertips along her cheekbone

Tinania smirks then shakes her hair back into her face "True but i still think they did that on purpose." she pulls away from him looking down at his tail.

"Now why do you think they did that" he laughed his tail flicking against the blanket as a breeze blew his bangs and he pushed them out of hte way

Tinania shrugs still watching his tail "I really don't know.. I guess they were hoping I still be single by the time you grew to a teen..." she looks over at him then smiles "I see your tail grew just as long as your mothers.."

"I think I got it from her actually, just like I got my father's night vision" he smirked "you really /are/ cute when you blush"

Tinania laughs shaking her head "I am not.." she blushes then pokes him "So you still plan on claiming me as yours?" she ran a finger along his tail before looking at him.

"Yes I am" he said grinning his tail moving to snake around her wrist "If I have any say in the matter"

Tinania looks at his tail wrapped around her wrist then smirks "You really do want me for your own.." she blushes then runs a finger along his tail.

"Mmhmm I do, but I think you knew that" he said with a soft chuckle

Tinania smirks then takes her free hand to run a finger along his bottom lip. "Yea I did...just wanted to make sure.." she giggles then looks at her wrist "Your tail might become a bad thing.."

Surion chuckled "I think it might become helpful" he said and nipped at her finger playfully after kissing it's tip

Tinania giggles pulling her finger away "Okay your a biter, and how is it a good thing?" she poked at his tail with her fingers now.

"Oh like this" he said with a playful grin as it moved from her wrist slowly around her waist before pulling her closer

Tinania blushes then pushes at him "Okay evil, that was plain evil.. "she giggles still pushing at him.

Surion chuckled "Maybe maybe not" he said and wrapped his arms loosely around her

Tinania giggles trying to get free "Okay your a brat.." she tries to move her hands to tickle him on his sides.

Surion laughed and squirmed at her tickles "What's your point?" he asked and tried to retaliate

Tinania laughs able to free herself, she stands quickly walking away from him heading towards the wall. "Evil, evil evil..." she giggles shaking her head.

Surion got up and followed after her pouting "You've not called me evil before" he said though his voice said he knew she wasn't serious

Tinania looks at him then frowns before wrapping her arms around his neck running her hands though his hair "I'm sorry, forgive me?" she looked into his eyes.

"Of course, how could I not" he said wrapping his arms around her looking right back into her eyes

Tinania giggles then shakes her head poking him "Your bad for my health you know that.."

"I am huh and why would you say that" Surion asked wrapping his tail around her waist

Tinania blushes "Because you make me want to do things..." she pushes away from him to walk away forgetting about the tail wrapped around her waist.

Surion didn't move keeping his tails grip where it was "You make me want to do things too, but I don't think you are bad for my health" he said chuckling

Tinania turns looking at him "Like what?" the wind picks up her hair alittle blowing it into her face.

"Kiss you of course, just like last night" he purred reaching to clear her face

Tinania blushes then arches a brow "When did you kiss me?" she looked up at his lips then away again.

"I didn't but I felt like it and I told you that" he said chuckling

Tinania blushes before poking him "See told you were were bad for each others healths.." she turns to run from him still forgetting the tail.

Surion laughed and let her run this time letting go and following after her smirking

She heading towards the wall that was about 4 feet taller then her. But that didn't stop her as she instead jumped grabbing the branch of the tree. She pulled herself easily up then leaped across landing on the wall.

"Hey up there,.... Are you related to God? Your bottom is heavenly" he laughed walking along the grass below her, it was cheesy he knew, but hey, he was in a great mood

Tinania gasp then looked down at him "I know you just didn't say that to me." she was giggling as she sat down on the wall.

"Well it is" he smirked and floated up to hover in front of her "and you... are beautiful"

Tinania blushes then looks down "Your trying to capture my heart aren't you? Well even if you weren't your doing a good job of trying..." she licks her bottom lip not looking at him.

"I think I've been trying longer then can be realized, but I have tried harder in the last couple days, I love you Nani, regardless if I manage to capture it or not" he said

Tinania looked up at him that her cheeks were rosy as she licked her lips "Sur..." she close her eyes looking away again.

"Yes?" he asked watching her and floated over to sit beside her on that wall

Tinania looks at him "Its nothing..." she leans over kissing his cheek before running her a finger along his horns.

Surion closed his eyes and shivered... he opened his eyes again looking at her "You are.. a tease" he said pulling her closer to him

Tinania giggles nodding "I told you that last night, what you going to do about it?" she wrinkles her nose looking into his eyes.

"Right now I'm going to debate and pull you off this wall" he said as his tail moves to wrap around her waist and he floats backwards

Tinania yelps wrapping her arms around his neck pressing herself close to him. She looked at him then frowns then messes with his horns again "That wasn't nice..." she tried to sound serious but was failing badly.

"I so got to keep those out of your reach" he said with a chuckle after shivering and setting her feet on the grass moving a hand to run along her ear

Tinania bites her bottom lips shivering before stepping away from him, her cheeks are bright red.

"Oooh Seems I'm not the only one.." he muses chuckling and watching her face

Tinania wrinkles her nose before shaking her head, "I don't know what your talking about..."

"Prove it" he said taking a step closer to her

Tinania arches a brow then stays there "Fine.."

Surion smiles looking down after a moment he reaches and runs his fingers along the top of her ear playing a lil with the tip

Tinania closes her eyes trying not to pay attention, but she couldn't help it as she pulled away again, her cheek darken in color.

"I think they are just as sensitive as my horns" he mused running a finger along her blushing cheek

Tinania opens her eyes smirking "Yea they are, at least for elves..." she giggles then touches his horns again before turning to run.

"Oh I'm going to get you" he said hurrying after her trying to catch her up from behind

Tinania giggles looking back at him then keeps running, one thing she loved about the Elven side of her, they never got tired that fast. She stuck her tongue at him then kept moving trying to put space between them

Surion laughed and kept pace, he wasn't using any ability just being himself "Gonna get you" he said

Tinania shakes her not "No your not.." she kept moving wishing she could fly. She glances back over her shoulder at him.

"Am too" he said and lifted into a floating fly, certainly it wasn't as fast as his mom's wings or a hover disc but it was fast enough as he caught up wrapping her waist with his arms and lifting her

Tinania gasps then looks over her shoulder at him "How did you?" she was amazed, she couldn't believe that he was able to pick her up.

Surion chuckled "You aren't heavy, mom did this to dad once, in a nutshell I'm sharing the ability right now" he tried to explain

Tinania nods then giggles looking down at the ground. She was use to being off the ground thanks to the hover disc, but this was different somehow. "Okay you caught me now what?"

"Now I'm gonna hold you hostage" he winked floating a few inches from the ground "Kidding, but I know one thing I would like to do.."

Tinania arches a brow turning to face him looking at his eyes then his lips "Oh, what's that?" she ran her finger along his cheek then up to his ear before running her hand though his hair, only to touch his horn again. She just couldn't help herself.

"Kiss you" he said shivering at her touch

Tinania blushes looking down, her hand moved to rest on his neck. She moved her finger along his neck, not knowing what to say at all.

Surion lowered to the ground and moved his hand to lift her chin he was rather close resting his forehead gently against hers "If you are ok with that"

Tinania couldn't say anything, she closed her eyes licking her now dry bottom lip.

Surion watched her for a moment, she hadn't been against the idea so he went for it and pressed his lips softly against hers

Tinania pulled away for a moment before pressing her lips against his again. Her arms wrapping around his neck as she pulled him closer.

Surion purred happily pulling her closer against him his arms wrapped around her it felt good, and so very right, he was glad he didn't give up his 'crush' when he was younger

Tinania pulls her lips from his looking up at him, she smiles touching his cheek "Wow..." she ran her finger along his bottom lip looking up into his eyes.

"Wow ..." he repeated her word "Love you Nani, I really do" he told her looking right back into her eyes

Tinania blushes looking at his necklace "Surion you understand when I say I like you, but I can't say those words to you right.. Not yet anyways.." she looked up at him "I wanna know this is for sure before I say those words.."

Surion nodded "I understand" he said quietly "I've felt this way a long while, but you. you need to be sure before you say it. And I will accept that"

Tinania smiles then leans in inches from his lips "So what are we now?" she kisses him quickly before running her finger along his cheek.

"I would like to say you to be my girlfriend..." he said with a little hesitation unsure her reaction after what she just said

Tinania smiles then nods a little "I would like that..." she looks up at him smiling as she ran her hand along his horn to tease him.

Surion smiled and shivered "I'm glad" he said and pulled her close again

Tinania giggles wrapping her arms around his waist "Me too.. you know cuddling never going to be the same.." she looks up at him smiling.

"No it won't especially if a kiss or two is slipped into it" he agreed purring softly

Tinania blushes "Yea..." she runs her fingers along his horn. "Wow you know this means our mums were right..." she giggles shaking her head.

"Yeah" he said and closed the gap for another kiss, her teases weren't helping his emotional state

She returned the kiss running her hand though his hair then back up to his horns. She pressed close to him before breaking the kiss.

Surion breathed deeply and shivered "You are really getting me turned on here you know" he murmured raising a hand to run along her ear

Tinania blushes closing her eyes "Really? You want me to stop?" she shivered herself from the touch to her ears.

"we both have in a sense of an equal advantage over each other right now, as much as I love your touch I don't think I'd want to get so riled up that I do something I'd regret later" he admitted quietly

Tinania looks at him nodding "So how about we leave each other certain areas alone then. A promise of some sort of...." she smiles

"Sounds like a plan" Surion nodded "for both of our sakes" he looked down at her "A promise we can seal with a kiss" he said softly

Tinania nods "Okay I Tinania promise not to mess with your horns, for now..." she winks at him then giggles.

"And I Surion promise to leave your ears, for now" he said looking deep into her eyes before moving to kiss her again

Tinania press her lips against his wrapping her arms around his neck. She pressed her body close to his body.

Surion purred loudly as they kissed, her kisses were exhilarating, and he more then enjoyed holding her

Tinania pulls her lips from his smiling as she ran her finger along his cheek giggling "Mmmm I can get use to this..."

Surion smiled softly looking into her eyes "Me too, me too" he said ignoring the breeze coming off the lake

Tinania giggles running a finger along his hair before looking up at him "Its strange really...I never thought out of everyone I be in your arms.." she ran her finger along his bottom lip.

She really liked being this close, but it also was driving her crazy. The past two days Surion seem to bring her to life.

"I don't see anyone else having been, I guess you can call me determined and stubborn about the desires of my heart" he said kissing her fingertip

Tinania smiles then nods "I think it was really me just not wanting anyone until I found the one that make my heart soar..." she lays her head on his shoulder closing her eye.

Surion nodded "I hope I can do that for you, you deserve that much from whoever you are with" he said softly

Tinania looks at him smiling "Surion you do make my heart soar...its strange...but I like it..." she kisses his cheek.

Surion purred softly "I'm glad, what else do you want to do today?" he asked unsure if she had to be anywhere else that day

Tinania giggles "I think just being here with you is fine. Kiara got a message to me saying she was busy that we could talk later. So I'm all yours today.." she pokes his nose then smirks "That is unless you have some where to be."

"Wherever you are is where I am, least till it's time to go to bed" he said softly moving to kiss her nose

Tinania giggles then shakes her head "I'm going to be good..." she pulls away from him then looks to him "Feel like swimming?"

"Swimming, that's a very different experience with water powers" he said with a chuckle "So sure, you should know how much I love the water"

Tinania smirks before pulling her crop top off. She was already dress in her blue and white string bikini. As she tossed her top onto the blanket she looked at him. "Yea I remember.."

Surion laughed "Well I didn't entirely come prepared so you'll have to put up with me making do" he said pulling off his top and tank and necklace, and then boots and jeans leaving behind... his boxers

Tinania looks him over then looks away blushing a deep red. She pulls her pants from her body leaving her string bikini bottoms matching her top. "Its fine..." she looks at him then smiles "I'll race you..."

She didn't ever wait as she took off running.

Surion laughed and ran after her "I'm gonna get you1" he called out

Tinania laughs as she reached the water diving in. She swims under it a few feet before resurfacing to the top.

Surion's eyes turned emerald green shortly before he hit the water and he swam down under Nani tickling her feet and looking up at her

Tinania giggles then looks at the water watching him. She floats there as she pushed her wet hair from her face.

Surion laughed and surfaced looking at her with green eyes "Hello Nani"

Tinania smiles looking at his eyes "I didn't know they changed to emerald green.." she leans over kissing his nose "They look good.." she floats away from him then dives back under the water.

"Only do when I'm using the water" he said and followed her looking for her underneath the water

She had swam down to the bottom, in the water she was graceful. Which was a shocker as to how clumsy she was on land.

Surion followed her and sat on the bottom giving her a wave

Tinania looks at him arching a brow. She could hold her breath for a good minute but she didn't know how long he could. She floated there just watching him, why did he have to be so hott?

Surion reached forward and took her hand pulling her closer to him

Tinania smiles at him touching his cheek before looking up to the surfaces, she knew she have to go up for air soon. Her hair floated around her and surprisingly the red blossom was still in her hair where he placed it.

He pulled her close enough to kiss her softly before letting her go, he knew she'd need air

She smiles floating up to the surfaces, she breaths slowly watching him from under the water, she couldn't help but watch him. And here she thought he looked hott with clothes on. Without them it drove her crazy.

She wanted to run her finger along his bare skin but she couldn't, she knew it wouldn't be a good thing. But her mind kept telling her to do it.

Surion slowly followed her he could have stayed longer, but he didn't want to he broke the surface of the water near her and pushed his bangs from his face

Tinania blushes looking him over before licking her lips "Wow..." she floats away from him only because she was trying to control herself.

So this was those feeling her mother, Aylana, Celia, and Tari had always talked about. She had to look away from him.

"Wow?" he asked curiously watching her float away

Tinania shook her head "Nothing...just thinking about something I was told a long time ago.." she looked at him again the gulps hard.

Maybe swimming wasn't a good idea after all.

"What might that be?" he asked smiling and watching her and treading water

Tinania blushes then shakes her head "It was something my mum always told me when I grew..." she mimics her mums voice as she talks "Be careful, your body changing and your going to start feeling things you didn't before.." she stops speaking looking up into his eyes "I know what she means now.."

Surion nodded "Sounds familiar" he said blushing, heck he'd gotten THAT talk that very morning

Tinania nods "Yea well.. you being like that, and me like this. Its not helping..." she laughs before dipping her head under the water for a moment just to wet her hair again.

Surion blushed softly he knew EXACTLY what she meant, he watched her dip under the water "So beautiful" he murmured

Tinania looks at him her hands still in her hair "Hmmm?"

"You are beautiful" he said louder before moving slowly through the water towards her

Tinania blushes staying there treading the water "And your very handsome..."

Surion smiled "Thankyou" he said and was soon in front of her within arms reach

Tinania reached out lightly running her finger over his bare chest. She looked up at him breathing slowly before running her fingers along his neck. She knew this could be a bad thing. She heard Aylana talking about it.

She blushed before leaning in kissing him softly. It was the first time she kissed him, not the other way around. Her hand resting on his cheek.

Surion didn't mind as one of his hands found it's way to her shoulder and he returned the kiss

Tinania pulls away then blushes again "Maybe.. we should.. head to dry land." she didn't really trust herself.

"Sounds good, after you" he said motioning her ahead of him

Tinania smiles then swims towards the shore. Reaching the land she laid there with her feet in the water looking up at the sky.

Surion walked up behind her looking up after he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind "See something interesting?" he asked softly

She looks at him over her shoulder "yea I do..." she curls close to him running her finger along his leg. She wasn't even really thinking about it, she was just so comfortable being in his arms.

"What is so interesting that you see" he asked curiously resting his chin on the top of her head looking up again purring softly when he felt her fingers

Tinania smiles running her finger alittle higher up his leg "You..."

Surion laughed "I'm up there? I thought I was right here" he said smiling

Tinania giggles then pokes him "Your a brat..." she tackles him pinning him to the ground with her legs and arms.

Surion burst out laughing "And what are you going to do about that" he asked looking up at her

Tinania looked down at him. "I could be evil, but I promise not to mess with your horns. So..." she leans down kissing him deeply, she let his hands go as she runs her hand down his side.

Surion smiled and kissed her back his free-again hands moving to rest on her side, he decided right then and there he had to visit his brother very soon

Tinania pulled her lips away from his before sitting up. She didn't move, in fact she was sitting on his lap. She was blushing as she pushed her hair from her face "Sorry, I couldn't help it.."

"Hey I don't mind, I like your kisses, and your touch" he said blowing her a lil kiss

Tinania blushes then moves off lap "I know.." she runs her hand though her hair before leaning over him "But see I can't keep kissing you like that, its not god for my health. I'll.." she pauses thinking "What was the word you said? Oh yea.. I'll pounce you.." she winks before getting up heading toward there clothes.

Surion laughed and propped himself up on his elbows watching her his eyes slowly shifting back to blue and he got up following

Tinania was bending over picking up her jeans. She wasn't bothering with her shirt. Pulling the on she looks over at him, her heart skipped a beat yet again and the feeling started back up. She wasn't going to ever get use to this. She turned away from him blushing like crazy.

Surion stepped into his pants pulling them up and watched her he couldn't help but lick a lip and then tear his eyes away

Tinania bent forward away only to run her fingers though her hair. Once she was sure she got most of the knots out she stood back up, her hair was around her face now. She looked down at her belly ring trying not to look at him.

Surion wandered up beside her and pulled a single hair from atop the red flower "These flowers are definitely a unique flower" he mused softly

Tinania smiles nodding "What type of flower is it. I have never seen it before.." she runs her finger along his chest lightly, she couldn't keep her hand off of him. She hand to touch him.

"I'm not sure what they are called, they are native to the Cliffs, dad has a small bush of them in the back yard that he says he imported, Dragonic custom is the male gives it to female he wants to express his love to and who he desires to be with... forever" he told her

That caused her to blush, she touched the blossom in her hair lightly then smiles "I see...well then I can see why you gave it to me.." she place her hand on his chest feeling his heart beat. "Wow...forever, that a really really long time.."

"It is I know, but if it were my choice that's how long it'd be" he told her lifting a hand and placing it atop of hers on his chest

Tinania smiles "Your a smooth talker you know that? You know the right word just to make my heart stop beating.." she blushes before stepping away from him. "And temptation, that what you are.."

"Well that's better then bad for your health" he purred smiling at her playfully

Tinania places her hands on her hips smirking "No your still bad for my health..."

Surion shook his head and chuckled "Well then I'll just have to be bad for your health for a while, cause I'm not going away"

Tinania blushes then still stand there just arms length away from him with her hands on her bare waist "I never said that, I want you around, your just a temptation and bad for my health." she winks at him then turns walking away heading to sit by a shaded tree.

Surion followed her "A temptation of what kind?" he asked curiously as he sat near her

Tinania looks at him then shakes her head "Surion, if I answer that we'll both be blushing..." she looked down at lap lacing then unlacing her fingers together.

"Oh" Surion said though was sure they'd wind up blushing over something anyways, he couldn't count the number of times they had been in the past two days

Tinania looks up at him "You really want to know.. I'll tell you, but I'm only warning you.." she moved closer to him running her fingers along his stomach slowly.

Surion nodded and watched her his eyes following hers purring softly at her touch

Tinania moves to sit back in his lap, her hands resting on his stomach as she looked at him "Its was something my sister talked about with me...then of course Celia and Tari. When you really feel a strong connection with someone, and all you want to do is touch them and maybe more. Well she said the maybe more was called..." she leans in whispering it into his ear before pulling away. "That what I want to do, but I'm trying not to think about it, and that why your a temptation." she looks at him blushing.

Surion stared at the tree behind her and swallowed "I see, Then if that's why I'm bad for your health ... I guess that would make two of us" he said his ears bright red and that red slowly creeping into his face

Tinania giggles then nods "Yea it seems so.." she pauses then touches his cheek "I don't want to stop touching, holding or kissing you Sur. But I'm not ready for that, not yet anyways. I know my body is, but I'm not..." she smiles running her finger along his bottom lip.

Surion looked towards her "A very... responsible decision" he said with a smile "That day will come for each of us when it comes"

Tinania looks away saying something before she can even stop it. "Maybe it will be with you.." she looks to him turning beat red before hiding her face with her hand "Oh dear goddess I did not really say that.."

"I think Visha may argue that you didn't.. " he reached and gently pulled her hand away "Maybe perhaps it might be, maybe in the future we'll be more then just boyfriend and girlfriend, but that is a long ways away I think"

Tinania nods running her fingers along his "Well the way my heart and body are reacting to you. I think we will be more then just girlfriend and boyfriend..." she pause then looks at him "I think I always knew this, I was just scared to admit it. Even as a baby I really cared for you. Then after you told me your crush. I couldn't stop thinking about it, and now..." she stops again looking at her hands and his hands laced together.

"And now I'm at a better age to think about those kinds of emotions, noone else has ever made me even remotely feel like I should have a crush on them" he said

Tinania looks at him then smiles "I can't say the word I want to, because I don't think I'm ready to, not yet at least." she places her hand on his cheek caressing it light "But I think you'll know what I want to say when I say you have found a way to capture my heart when no other person was able to.."

Surion nodded "Yeah I understand what you mean and I'm glad to have" he said pulling her closer "and I'm glad I have"

Tinania smiles laying her head on his shoulder, without even thing back it, she runs her finger along his ear. She just felt so safe with him, it wasn't strange anymore. She wanted to say those three simple words, but she didn't want to jinx what they had either,

Surion purred softly giving her a hug and looking down to her "Whenever you are ready I'll be here, I wont rush you, noone deserves to be."

Tinania looks up at him nodding "I know Sur.." she leans up kissing him softly her hand running though his hair as the other rested on his chest. She had to kiss him, she wanted him to know that she wanted him, she just couldn't show it.

Surion purred leaning a bit into the kiss, his hands moved around her waist to her back softly kneading the skin below her wings

Tinania pulled away only to whisper a single word to him "Meleth" her hand was running though his hair still as she looked into his eyes. "I can say it in Elven, but I can't in English..." she laughs shaking her head.

Surion giggled "Whatever works, Love you Nani" he said softly and lifted a hand to trace the tattoo on her cheek "All of you"

Tinania looked at him in shock, she blushes then placed her hand over his hand on her cheek. She smiles looking into his eyes then leans in inches from his lip "I love you Sur..." she really didn't give him a chance to say anything as she pressed her lips against him. Her arms wrapping around his neck.

Surion couldn't help but purr loudly, his hand moved slowly along her back as he returned her kiss she had said what she said she couldn't and it made his heart sore to hear them

She broke the kiss keeping her eye closed, her hair falling around her face alittle as she opened her eyes slowly. She wasn't sure how he would react to what she said. She felt his hands on her back which were sending flames dancing though her body.

Surion smiled widely looking down into her eyes as they opened "I'm so very happy you do" he said softly leaning his head forward a bit to touch his forehead to his and purr softly

Tinania giggles then smiles "Oh really why is that? Going to wrap your tail around me now and claim me for your own?" she felt much more alive now that she was able to tell him how she felt. She knew it since she saw him yesterday, but she was scared to tell him.

"Oh I could easily" he said "but I think this claims you better then wrapping you up in my tail does" he said tipping his head to kiss her

For the first time she didn't pull back, she actually deepen the kiss as she placed her hands on his neck, she moved her body closer to his almost like letting him know that she was his and nothing was going to change that.

Surion's hands explored her back as they kissed enjoying the soft feeling of her skin under his hands

Tinania hands ran up though his hair inches from his horns. She stopped her hands just right near them, she promise she wouldn't. But his kiss, didn't it claim her as his mate? She pulled away from his lips looking into his eyes "So what am I now to you?" she moved her fingers in his hair, barely touching his horns, she couldn't help it, she had to.

Surion looked into her eyes "The most special person in my life, my first and only love and if you'll have me in that way when the time comes my mate or in human terms wife"

Tinania blushes then nods "Of course Sur...tis why I asked. Does it me I still can't do this?" she ran her fingers this time over the horns. She knew he would have felt it that time, and she knew she broke the promise, but right now she didn't really care.

Surion bit his lip HARD "Depends..." he whispered after a couple minutes

Tinania arches a brow looking at him, she rested her finger on his horns "Depends...on what?" she leaned in kissing his lips quickly not liking that he bite them so hard.

"How bad you wanna not be pounced" he murmured after breaking from the kiss

Tinania blushes then continues to run her finger along his horns "Are you really asking me that? I said to you earlier you were tempting me..." she licks her bottom lip then smiles. "But I'll stop if you want me to.."

Surion took a deep breath "Nani you already have me rather riled, without touching those, it's just making it hard to stay sitting right here" he said

Tinania giggles still running her fingers along his horns "Well I'm glad I know how you react to me..." she moves alittle in his lap causing herself to move closer to him. She couldn't really help it, she wanted to tease him.
