Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was a shame she had to go, such a delicious, fleeting morsel. He wondered to himself just how much she could take, how much water was in the well so to speak. He had run into creatures whose supply seemed never exhausted, though their flavor paled in comparison. Still he decided it time to let her free of his torment, and so his hands came off her being. His legs closed enough that she could stand, despite the urge to knock the knees out from behind and force her to...

"I'll be here if you need me." He promised innocently, blinking up to her. Her body was perfectly sculpted, deliciously jiggly and quivering when need be, more exposed areas only inches away. He let it all pass by for the moment, silently vowing to have it all in due time. Her warning seemed lost on him as his eyes shut, the cockiest being in all the land crossing his arms behind his head as he lay in the tub. The water left in there would slowly chill along with the drop in temperature his body brought, and in due time he would be left in a tub of ice.

Light on or off, he spared her for the night.

An eye creased open just in time to see the light flicker off, her words bringing forth a soft chuckle. This sound would echo in the night for a few moments before bleeding away into nothing. He let the darkness envelope the place, still as the grave and equally quiet. Idly he thought about mock-snoring to bother her, but instead settled on simply laying there. Breathless, silent, unmoving, he was as much a prop in the room as anything else.

Now the girl was simply being silly, denying him sex AND giving him the bill? Just how far did she expect that pretty face to carry her? Her fumbling through the dark to get her clothes on gave KB ample time to make his move, as eerily silent as everything else.

Her little outburst would be dealt with in the simplest, most practical way possible. Coming up behind her in the dark might not be an easy matter knowling her gifts, but still the daring man tried. To get close and wrap his arms about her, to give her an assuring squeeze and draw her to his chest. Just as before he made himself out to be protective, to be the safe spot in the darkness that'd hold her despite all the playful argueing. "Shh." He'd coo softly to her, his voice gentle and soothing. "Come to bed." He'd offer with a gentle tug, his body oddly dry despite what one might expect.

The bed had been disturbed by her throwing back the covers, though it hardly matter. KB would kick off his shoes with a telltale soft thud for each one, before trying to draw her back to a warm nest of closely-held covers.

"Mm." He murmured, not much of an answer, but enough. His gaze would remain on her for a few moments, whatever light was left glittering in those tarnished rubies. KB was strong and he was there, just as much a pillow as a lover. As much as he wanted her his movements would remain sensual, his lust waiting for the right moment. Not all lovemaking was about plowing, and not every wonderful night was about sex.

"Get some sleep babe." He softly told her, commanded her. He would remain there and rest the night however she liked, be it to have him on his back as a body-pillow, on his side nestled with her, holding her, whatever. His eyes fell shut and his breathless form remained picture-perfect, a handsome corpse laying beneath her. Naturally as a vampiric being KB didn't sleep during the night, though somehow he staved off the boring nature of faking it for her sake.

His feet wiggled out of habit, rubbing against each other softly as if trying to build up warmth. The effort was of course fruitless, and thus he was left with that familiar cold feeling in each and every dead nerve of his body. Distantly he felt the shape of the girl atop him, of the pressure her weight afforded.

"That'll be-"

There was a soft russle as Siat stripped notes from a wad as thick as his finger, placing them on the nearby counter and sliding them over to the shopkeep. He smiled briefly at the shopkeeper, grabbing the handle of the sword on the counter and admiring the blade. It was nothing special, but a sword is a sword! He swung the long sword once or twice, then thought.

"I'll take the cases too."

No sense startling some innocent woman, especially when carrying the next weapon he picked up. It was about six foot long, wooden, and had a particularly nasty metal affixment. It had to be illegal. It looked like an axe head, but connecting it to the pole was an extremely sharp looking saw-like blade. He definetely had to hide that. The final thing that the shopkeeper put in it's display case was the sharpening and care kit.

"Keep the change."

Siat put another few notes on the counter, then heaved the cases off the table, taking care not to break anything with the polearms case. Once out the shop, he wasted no time in starting a quick walk towards his house. Not that anyone would attack him, especially not with the armaments he had, but no sense in wasting time.

As she left the harbour area, something quickly caught her eye that didn't have such an impact as before. A long captain's jacket that one of the sailors were wearing, it was navy blue and had many gold-like tassles dangling from the sleeves. For some reason, it was astonishing to her. Madison didn't wear any other colors other than red and black, but it was time for a clothing change after all.

Now the pricing of that coat would definitely have to be rediculous, and she didn't have that kindof money. So there has to be one other solution to this dilema, "borrow" it. Besides, she'll return it when she sees the man again. Slowly with a skip she began to walk over to where he was without seeming to be upto too much. He of couse didn't even notice her but rather countinued working with his cruel.

"Come on boys, we gotta set sail in a few hours." The man's voice seemed slightly familiar, but she merely ignored it as she moved tip toed towards him. With one quick movement she tightly grabbed onto one of the higher collars and tugged onto it. But rather than having a rather successful pull, for it remained on him and twirled him slightly to face her. At that moment, they were staring each other face to face. Madison panicked slightly, those eyes were familiar. Almost too familiar. But her train of thought was broken as she felt his hand clench her wrist.

"Owowowowow..." Madison winced sharply as she attempted to wiggle free but he simply smiled and examined her quietly.

"Madi, is that you?" His voice was chilling to her, which caused her spine to shake. It was definitely a frightening idea who it was, Jonothan was holding onto her hand. He looked alot older since the last time she saw him, with a good scruff and a few scars across his tanned skin. But his eyes still remained the same, cool, cold, and yet gentle. After a few quick moments, Madison reached into her jacket pocket quietly without a word. He still seemed rather impressed that he managed to see this girl once again.

"Wow...You...Here....It's good to see you again." He smiled slightly at her as though to show off some charm that he had left, only to have her stomach turn slightly. Quickly, Madison swung out her sai Unwyrd at him, slicing into his arm. He sharply let go of her as she returned to a fighter's stance. She quickly brushed her hair away from her face and narrowed her eyes at him, she was still rather not pleased with him. Jon laughed slightly while holding his arm, yup it was definitely her.

"You still playing with those toys?" Jon only smiled as he pulled out a set of sais from a sheath on his belt, they were bloodstained and rusted. But they were her old ones, and in a different condition.

"You used my sais..."

"Well technically, they are mine now. Besides, you have new ones now it appears. Now scram before I'm going to have to hurt your pretty little neck." He twirled the sai slightly and pointed it at her neck, he had gotten good on learning how to use the weapon himself. But she didn't move, but remained ready to attack him at any cost. She had much anger towards him, and he knew it.

But however, her attention was soon drawn towards his crew that were soon lingering behind him. Now this was definitely an unfair fight, there were ten of them and only one of her.

"Since you are a cutie, I'll let you have five seconds to leave here without getting hurt...then I'm just going to have to well...make myself a new fur coat." His grin that he was proudly displaying earlier had swept away as he now began to count down secounds. The other gentleman of his crew could only chuckle at him at the thoughts of having themselves a new coat.

"I'll see you again, Jonothan. And I'll be taking back my sais as well." The rabbit had than turned and darted off back into the town. She couldn't believe that man, she really couldn't. She also counldn't believe the odds that she was at with him in that fight, she knew she had definitely no chance there.

Back at the dock, Jonothan smiled lightly. He knew he would see her again, beauty and all. She infact had grown up quite alot since their last meeting, mentally and physically. Quickly shaking his head he tucked the damaged sai back in it's sheath and turned to his men, though his arm was throbbing, he ignored it.

"Alright you dirty dogs, back to work."

Jonothan had stumbled backwards dropping the sais both onto the deck. The crew members seemed rather astonished that this guy would pull a stunt like that, but they remained standing where they were. Awaiting the captain's orders.

SPLOOSH

The captain was done and Madison was now with this new guy, she didn't know exactly what to say. But she figured that this wasn't the best place for any chatter to take place. She smiled slightly and then realized that there was splashing comming from the water. She leaned forward just enough to see that Jon had surfaced. She smiled lightly and turned towards the man who had helped her. She could feel the tension raising from the fellow crewsmen that were watching them sharply. They were not too impressed.

"Yes, thank you." She lightly took them back to feel the rusted blades back in her hand. Now the question was how was she going to explain the situation, after all her original reason was rather...well lame. Madison's eyes began to search about for some logic.

DING!

It hit her like a lightening bolt. Her hands glided them to the inside sheaths of her coat and countinued to talk, purposely not making eye contact at this point in time. Lightly she placed them beside Unwyrd and Airclaw, her two other sais that she had used to replace them.

"Ex boyfriend dispute." Finally she looked up again and smiled, she didn't lie completely; for there was some truth to it.

"Thank you very much, Mister...?"
