Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tijae chuckled, as the woman looked away from her tea between the two of them.

"Oh dear, are you two having a spat?"

Tijae looked over at the woman and smirked. "Do I look old enough to be having a lover's spat with blondie?" She waited for an answer, but the woman just flustered and looked over to KB before blushing.

"I..." And turned back to the teapot. "I think I'll just let you two settle things..." She muttered as she took to avoiding the two.

Tijae on the other hand lifted the coat up, and then hooked it on one finger, slung over her shoulder as she began to walk around the downstairs room, investigating things. "Oh, how much will the night cost?" She had some gold on her, hopefully it would be enough. She didn't want to have to borrow money from KB. She hated owing anyone anything. She'd probably see the back end of him soon enough.

"Just ten night a gold, dear." She lit a small spellmatch, and the water heated almost instantly, and she began pouring the water into the cocoa powder mix. "Would you like marshmellows, dears?"

"No, thank you." Tijae's voice was polite. Other than the occassional craving for cinnamon roll she'd been having for a while, she really wasn't terribly fond of sweets.

The woman on the other hand, blushed as KB moved slowly. "Is that rate alright?" No matter what answer KB gave, Tijae would say that it was fine. She could afford 10 gold, although it seemed a little cheap to her. Ten gold was a nice dinner out, not a hotel for the night. Maybe it was because it was late.

"Can you tell me where the room is?" She peeked around the corner at the woman who was staring at KB in fascination. He seemed so intent on the cocoa, he surely wouldn't notice if she went ahead up to bed. After giving him his coat back of course.

"It's upstairs, first room on the right...." She snapped out of her fascination with the blonde and headed over to the desk, reaching for a normal set of keys and bringing them back to the girl. "Is he going to stay as well?"

"No. I don't think so. He just wanted to find me somewhere safe, I believe. Too late to find my way home and all." She trusted him this far, but sharing a bed with him, that was quite another. He had attacked her after all.

"He's an odd one..."The woman looked at Tijae thoughtfully, "But handsome..."

"Eh..." Tijae felt her cheeks flush, unsure of how to answer, so she simply went over to the cupboard and took her own cup of cocoa, and stirred it. "Do I pay now?" The woman shook her head, and replied that she paid in the morning.

"You look tired dear, perhaps you should get up to bed. There's even a nice clawfooted bathtub you can take a nice soak in right off your room." Tijae nodded, and took the cup up with her. KB had run off just a little too easily in her mind. She gave the woman her thanks, and then took the coat with her up to the room. It was still covering the black splotch that was over one breast and part of her stomach, so it was hidden for now.

Once upstairs, she unlocked the room, and leaned back against the door, sighing softly as her head thumped against the door. "Long shift...long day...long everything..." She tossed the jacket into the chair, and began to remove her clothing, a bath did sound kind of nice. She sat the cup down on the table. So it then was off with the tank top as she walked over to the adjoining bathroom to begin to run the water. Where everywhere else on her skin was alabaster white, where the shadows touched, it was pure ebony. Solid, but as black as a void.

The blinds weren't drawn, but that was because it was indeed an old fashioned tub, and it had a curtain around the entire body of the tub itself. So all KB would get a view of would be a back lit outline of Tijae as the water ran and she slipped off her jeans, socks and shoes before slipping into the tub. She heard the shout, but thought it merely him off doing something else odd and random and that it had just echoed through the shadows.

She paid it no mind as she reached for the soap and began to lather her body and scrub up and down the length of her skin as the water poured down upon her. Once she got clean, then she'd let the water out and let it run again, this time letting herself have a good soak.

She sighed, she really had let him wait long enough. One can only take being stared at for too long. And it was dark outside, if someone even so much as thought about her when they were close by, she could tell, although her name had to be said if they were too far away.

So once she was finished scrubbing, she pushed aside the curtain and padded over to the window. "Are you done behaving like an adolescent?" She didn't seem ashamed of her wet nude body in the least. If anything she was annoyed.

"If you were going to stay, you could have just said so, I doubt I would have argued too much."

She had moved to fling open the window as he came swinging back, so when he poofed and reappeared, it annoyed her that she'd been taken so unaware. So it was that as she turned around to face him, her arms crossed over her chest, like a sulking child; her bottom lip even going so far as to tremble.

"Of course, I'm wet. I was taking a shower, and about to take a bath. You have an issue with that." It seemed her more aggressive nature was easy to bring out indeed. She shoved against his chest, either to push him back into the tub he was standing in front of, or to get him out of the way so she could go back to her bath.

She hadn't been expecting the grab, he did seem to throw her unexpected loops, so when he grasped her wrist, she came with him, it hadn't been a very gentle shove after all. So he conked his head, and she landed with her face against his chest, and straddled what part of his legs were in the tub and they both ended up very, very wet.

Tijae pushed away from him, her own teeth gritting. She then growled as she looked at the being before her, her breasts pressing against his chest while she attempted to glare at him, but it sort of lost a lot of meaning with the shadow in retreat.

"May I get out of here unmolested or do I have to drown you first?" She was a bit frustrated, and tired...and he'd ruined her bath.

She gasped, the press of the fabric of his pants upon her thighs a bit of a rough shock, but she refused to let it distract her. Or would have, if he'd let her alone instead of bringing her to where he could whisper into her ear, his breath brushing along her rapidly cooling skin with a delicious sensation.

The final straw however, was the whisper of fangs along her neck, as if both promise and threat and it was then that she recoiled, his legs keeping her from going too far. Promises tied both ways, and she wasn't about to elicit another one from him.

"Sleep where you want, I'm going to bed." And so she pushed again, her breasts dangling in his face for a moment as she struggled to right herself and stand in the tub. "You really should be more careful. Lots of more things go bump in the night besides vampires." She had the feeling that he was one of the oddest vampires she had ever met, yet she didn't recall having met any before.
