NanisDragon & FairyImpNani Take 2 ~ cont.

Tinania keeps giggling trying to free herself of his teasing "Surion, oh not fair you cheated!!!" she laughs as she taken into her room. Shaking her head she tries her hardest to hide her neck from Surion.

Surion growls "oh not fair?... you deserve it... you teased" he laughs pushing door closed with his tail and when she tried to hide her neck... he went after her ear instead

Tinania moans closing her eyes, shaking her hair again she covers her ears with her hands "How do I deserve you teasing me? What did I do?" she giggles trying to act innocent.

"Oh I think you know what you did" he purrs pulling at one of her wrists with his tail trying to get at her ear again without letting her go

Tinania squeals alittle then shakes her head hoping to stop him "I don't know what your talking about Surion.." she keeps giggling as she tried to figure out a way to get free.

Surion growls her attempts to free herself simply making it more fun, especially with her giggling. he kept backing up until his knees hit the bed and he sat down pulling her into his lap as he did

Tinania laughs giving up her attempt to hide her ears. Pushing at his hands she shakes her head once again "I still have no clue what your talking about Surion. I have done nothing to deserve this.." she turns her head to look at him over her shoulder.

"I do not believe you" he teases back with a grin tipping sideways pulling her with him turning her best he can at the same time to latch onto her wrists so he can look down at her

Tinania gasps as her blanket is pulled away from her. Looking up at him she wrinkles her nose "Well if you don't know, and I don't know. Why am I being pinned then?" she giggles tilting her head watching him.

"Because I want too..." he murmurs before leaning down and nibbling at her neck under her chin

Tinania bites her bottom lip closing her eyes. She tried to pull her hands free once again whimpering "Surion this is so not fair..." she tried to move away from him as best as she could.

"About as fair as what you did to me on glitchen" he says into her neck before following her neck down and biting and tugging at her top's zipper

Tinania giggles trying to pull her hands free "I thought you liked what you saw?" she watches him as he unzips her jacket using his teeth "I just won't do it ever again how does that sound?" she was jesting in hopes it would distract him so she could get away.

Surion growls softly ignoring her 'offer' he purred nosing at her soft skin then looked at her and pressed his lips against hers . in hopes of silencing her

Tinania mumble under his lips but within second gave in returning his kiss. She didn't move at this point as she deepen biting at his bottom lip lightly then tugging on it.

Surion purred loudly his hands leaving her wrists and following her arms, he deepened the kiss wanting the closeness more then anything just then

Tinania wraps her arms around his neck, her hands running though his hair. This was what she wanted and needed for the longest time. Pulling her lips from his she looks his face over "Dear goddess have I missed you..."

"I have missed you too, more then anything at all" one of his hands on the bed for balance he traces her 'neckline' feeling her soft skin under his finger

Tinania closes her eyes partly biting lightly at her bottom lip. His simple touch was making her crave more then the teasing he was doing now. Lifting a hand she runs it over his bottom lip.

Surion nips at her finger and decides it's teasing time of his own and rolls to lay casually on his side beside her... not touching

Tinania looks over at him laying on her back, one of her hands was laying right near her ear while the other was running along her belly ring. She turns her head smiling at him "Love you..."

"I love you too Nani... very much" and with that he lays on his back folding his hands under his head and lazily crossing his legs at the ankle with his eyes closed smiling contently

Tinania arches a brow sitting up, she looks him over slightly confused. Wasn't he just ready to pounce her, and now he was calm. "Okay Surion what you thinking about?"

"Oh not much, just enjoying being in your company" he replied, ohhh the wonders of his brother's potion.

Tinania frowns then shakes her head laying back down on the bed, she glanced over at him a few time then shook her head rolling to lay on her side. Her back was to him as she lean down to grab her blanket again.

Surion wondered how long she would let him just lay there, he hummed an idle tune he remembered from his childhood

Tinania pulled her blanket over her body just laying there. It could maybe ten minutes before she turn to look at him arching a brow "You know for someone who hasn't seen his girlfriend. You have a funny way of showing love.." she stuck her tongue at him.

"You want love showing do you" he asked there was a very teasing tone to his voice, not mocking just teasing

Tinania smirk then shook her head as she lays her feet on the ground. Looking over her shoulder she smiles "Nope, that fine with me.."

"I see ok..." he had yet to open his eyes to this point. Though now he opened one eye just barely enough to see her and watch her actions

Tinania smiles then turns looking down at her feet as she sat there. She was humming softly to herself an old melody that Surion would know. Her wings fluttered alittle as she ran one hand though her hair.

Surion turned to humming the tune along with her floating above the mattress as he reached over and ran a finger along the bottom edge of a wing before quickly returning his hand to under his head

Tinania gasps then turned looking at him. She wrinkles her nose up then sticks her tongue at him "Brat..."

Surion pulls the self-same hand out from under his head and pointed to himself "Me? What? I didn't do anything" he pouts

Tinania laughs then pick up her pillow tossing it at him "Like you didn't do anything. Your such a brat Surion." she was moving to get up off the bed.

Surion put his arm up to defend himself and soon as she barely had stood... he pounced pushing her playfully tot he floor with a growl

Tinania yelps as she hit the ground. Laughing she struggles trying to get free "Oooh Surion when I get free your so gonna get it!!!" she tries to roll out from under him.

Surion laughs and doesn't let her as he avoids her wings and goes after the back of her neck purring loudly

Tinania tries to wiggle free then squeals feeling him close to her neck "Surion this is dirty, your so going to get it!!!" she tried her best to hide her neck knowing she would be in trouble if her got her neck.

Surion laughs his tail moving like the playful 'predator' he was and his hands moved to swat hers away still after the back over her neck

Tinania continues to try and block Surion from getting at her neck. Laughing she shakes her head "I wish ten feather would appear and tickle Surion!!!" she new that was evil, but if he was going to play unfair so would she.

"Ack!" he cried out as he was attacked, his retaliation though was to tickle her just as much as he was being tickled, he had her pinned from behind sitting just above her hips where her slender body narrowed just a tiny

Tinania squeals laughing trying her hardest to get away. She tried hard to kick her feet before she finally gave "I wish the feather away!!!" she was still giggling but not trying to get free as she knew it was pointless.

Surion caught his breath as quick as he could hoping to catch her off guard before she caught hers. with as quick a moment as he could he leaned forward again 'landing' so his hands rested on hers interlinking his fingers with has before blowing the hair to part it and look for flesh

Tinania giggles then shakes her head again trying to free her hands before giving up. Turning her head so she can look at him she smiles "I'm in trouble for my little show aren't I?"

"Mmmhmmm" he replied burying his face in the hair nipping at her neck at times purposefully catching the skin for a moment

Tinania moans softly closing her eyes, she gave up the fight and just laid there. Her hands moved under his only to try turn them so she hold his hand really in her.

Surion lets her turn her hands in his, he purrs loudly still after her neck, parts of him wanted other things but thanks to his brother's potion he was able to be in full control

Tinania shivers then moves alittle under him "Surion please this floor hurts.." she tries tilts her head to one side looking at him. "Please..."

"You need more comfy floors" he murmurs and gets off her standing and wandering towards her mirror as if nothing happened

Tinania moves to sit on her knees just watching him. Frowning she shook her head just staying there f looking down at her lap. Did she just spoil his mood? She truly hoped not.

Surion looks at himself in the mirror, ok that was not entirely true, he was watching her in the mirror as he ran his fingers through his hear like a comb

Tinania kept her head lowered for a few more minutes before she slowly stood. She looked up at Surion smiling alittle then looked back down playing with a few of her Elven bracelets.

Surion turns and leans against the wall beside the mirror watching her, he was in full control of the feelings inside of him, or she would definitely not have gotten up

Tinania looked up watching him then shook her head really confused right now. Walking up to him she looks up at him before looking down her fingers running over the top of his hand. "Did I do something wrong?"

His tail moved and wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to him. A grin slowly spread across his lips, she had done what he'd hoped she would. Without a word h pulled her as close as possible and kissed her deeply

Tinania gasps feeling his tail wrap around her waist, she goes to say something until she feels his lips upon hers. Smiling she molds her body against his wrapping her arms around his neck trying to get as close as she can to him.

Surion purrs loudly, his hands exploring her sides and back and one eventually to her front.

Tinania pulls back only for a moment to catch her breath and to look over his face. She runs her finger along his cheek smiling "You wanted me to come to you didn't you?"

"Yes I did, just like I wanted to see how long you would let me lay there..." he purrs looking into her eyes

Tinania smirks then wrinkles her nose "Where did you learn to play evil?" she tilts her head giggling before leaning in brushing her lips against his.

"I had the very best teacher" he smirks playfully before kissing her

Giggling against his lips she pulls back arching a brow as she runs her finger though his hair "Oh and who taught you? Surely not me.."

"Oh most definitely you Nani my love" he grins and leans close to her ear "Wish for some club music, I want to dance with you" he grinned, he knew that they had not gone to the club since he returned t observe others and pick up knowledge

Tinania arched a brow then shrugs she closes her eyes "I wish we could here club music only in this room." she opens her eyes just as the music started to play out of no where.

She couldn't help it, but almost instantly her body moved with the music matching it. The music flows though her skin and blood making her one with it.

Surion lets her go so she can move away frmo the wall, after a moment he pushes away from the wall moving tot he beat of the music, and matching her

Tinania watches him for moment before closing her eyes, her hips swayed to the music as she moved her hands slowly up over her body to run them though her hair.

A seductive smiles came to her lips as she turned so her back was to Surion. She looked over her smiling at Surion curious as to what he was planning.

Surion didn't have anything planned, he just wanted to dance with her, he enjoyed the closeness it seemed to give. He moved closer, right up to her infacthis hands finding her hips as he dances against her body moving with her and going after the side of her neck , the side opposite where she was looking

Tinania shivers tilting her head to give him better access to her neck. Her body brushed against his as she danced. Resting her hands ontop of his she leans forward just alittle still watching him over her shoulder.

"don't worry about me... dance love" he whispers in her ear dancing not so they brushed against each other, but touching

Tinania smiles closing her eyes, she continues to move her body to the beat. She moved as one with the music, never missing a beat with her body. Her hand moved up over the front of her body then back down to rest on her hips.

Surion's hands traveled along her sides caressing her softly he let his mind completely move to the music picturing them in the club rather then the bedroom

Tinania turned in his arms looking up at him. She wrapped both arms around his neck locking her eyes with his. She smiles leaning in to brush her lips against his as they moved together.

Surion purrs letting a hand move to the small of her back his other hanging loose at his side as he both kissed her and danced with her, it felt natural, so he went with it

Tinania pulls her lips from his looking up into his eyes again as they moved together. She had only danced with a few people but dancing with Surion just felt right.

Smiling she runs her finger along his bottom lips "Were perfect you know that?" she licks her bottom lip then giggles.

"My Nani, you have felt perfect to my heart for a very long time" he replies not missing the beat

Tinania blushes looking down, she giggles just alittle before looking back up at him "As do you in my heart Surion. But this closeness feels really good." she didn't know what else to say, she like this feeling and wish it was more.

Surion purrs and kisses her when the song ends before just stopping and giving her a hug happy to be with her that day

Tinania rest her head against his chest smiling, she loved that he was here with her. Looking up she tilts her head "Do you knwo how long your going to be here?"

Surion shakes his head "I suppose as long as your mum and my mum are doing their talking. Did you enjoy the dance?" he asked curiously

Tinania nods then giggles "Very much so Surion. Dancing with you is always fun." she runs her finger over his shirt then looks up "Tari told me something that very interesting..."

"What did Tari tell you that was so very interesting" he asks not moving away from her touch

Tinania blushes looking down at his shirt as she continues to run her finger over his shirt. "That if two people dance well together, it usually means they be great in bed..." she hides her face as the tips of her ears turn bright red.

Surion blushes brightly and bites his lip. "Th-thats an interesting tidbit.." he says as he knew it came from a friend

Tinania doesn't say anything and just continue to hide her hair. Looking up for a moment she bites her bottom lip "Yea Tari caused me to turn bright red when she told me this.."

Surion purrs softly and moves a hand brushing the bangs from her face "I suppose one day we'll find out... in the mean time I have you, I have dancing, I have your kisses..."

Tinania nods running her hand along his cheek before pulling him toward the bed. "True we also have cuddling, and teasing." she sits on the bed looking at him biting her bottom lip.

"That we do" she replies and follows her sitting down beside her "Your sister's friend must really have gotten into something nasty, he wasn't healing too well" he muses after a moment

Tinania tilts her head looking at him curious "What do you mean my sister friend?" leaning against him she runs her fingers along his hand.

"Silver... remember? when we found him in your sisters condo.. I was still a kid at the time, he was all sat up, I could smell the blood" he wraps an arm around her waist holding her close

Tinania frowns shaking her head "I didn't know he was hurt, but he still hurt even after all this time? That can't be a good thing. Fa'e are suppose to heal fast unless its a very bad wound." she bites her bottom lip thinking.

"He was, he had a bouncer fetch me, I saw him, he asked me if I knew anyone who could heal in the non-traditional way, like outside a hospital, and mentioned about a demon making it difficult to heal his wounds" he replies

Tinania frowns even more biting her bottom lip even harder. It was enough to draw blood. She didn't say anything as she thought.

"I told him I did, and mum and aunt Kal... and then I helped heal him... and then passed out" he adds the last bit meekly cause he knew she knew what it meant

Tinania looked over at him alittle concerned, she didn't like when he passed out. She frowns looking down "I wish I was there to help..." she felt bad that she couldn't help even a friend, and nonetheless her boyfriend.

"Well he was walking up and about when I woke, so I think he's ok, but he gave me these to say Thankyou" he pulls out a small pouch from a pocket and pulls it open digging till he found the two cards and then showed them to her

Tinania looked the cards over then gasps looking back up at him "Are these VIP card?" she glance back down at the card not sure if she was actually seeing them or not.

"I don't entirely know I kinda put them in the pouch and forgot about them till now, he called them 'free passes into the club' whenever I wanted." He looked a lil sheepish for not checking out exactly what they were

Tinania takes one of the card then laughs "These aren't just freebie passes to the club. Surion this allows you to go anywhere in the club. Even I can't do that...." she looks up at him still in shock that he had the cards.

Surion looks at the cards in her hand and then back to her and then to the cards a smile spreading on his face. He reached and took the cards putting one atop his pouch but holding the other, he leans close next to her ear his hand finding hers as he whispers "Now you can.. I want you to have one of them, I can't use two I'm only one person" and he presses the card gently into her hand

Tinania looks at him then to the card before nearly jumping into his lap as she kisses him deeply. That wasn't something she was expecting.

Surion purrs wrapping his arms around her holding her close and returning the kiss just as deeply. He loved it when he could make her happy. And obviously, he just had.

Pulling back she looks down at him smiling "Thank you Surion.." she leans brushing her lips against his. Pulling away she runs her hand along his neck "You know you didn't have to give me one of these."

"And you know you don't have to love me but you do, and so I want to give it to you. I have no other use for it, I'm one person, I can't use both at once that way..., but if you have one you can go anywhere too... not just me, and I want you to be able to..." he purred softly looking into her eyes

Tinania smiles then kisses his nose "You spoil me way to much Surion. I don't know how I ever got lucky that I fell in love with you, or you fell for me.." she runs her hand along his cheek looking into his eyes.

"And you spoil me, just by being here at my side from day to day." Surion purred contently holding her close

Tinania giggles leaning down to brush her lips before slipping off his lap to crawl onto the bed properly. Looking over at him she giggles "I'm glad I'm at your side Surion.."

"I am glad you are too, with all my heart..." he flopped back looking over at her

Tinania bushes then turns to her side running her hand along his neck. She felt strange laying here on her bed with him, yet it also just felt right to her.

Moving closer she leans in brushing her lips against his before curling close to him. She looked up at him smilng "This feels so strange..."

"Oh? Howso?" he asked it didn't feel strange to him, not after she'd spent hte night in his home when he had been sick, true he'd only been a kid, but he looked at her no differently then he did now.. He loved her just as much then as he did now...

Tinania giggles wrinkling her nose at him "You laying here in my bed. I know it shouldn't be because of everything but it does." she runs her finger up over his lip "Don't help either that I'm thinking about other things also..."

Surion chuckled softly and kises her fingertip. "Naughty Nani.." he teases and then nips at the same finger. He couldn't help but wonder how long either of them would hold out in teh long run

Tinania blushes looking away "I can't help it around you. You've been making me want to do those kind of things." she pokes his nose lightly then smiles "Is that such a bad thing?"

"No I suppose it isn't.. if you feel ready inside here" he reaches up and taps her cheat above her heart "And I mean you, not the imp" he smiles and purrs softly

Tinania smiles then leans closer to him smiling "I have been ready. Its just its never been the right time..." she bites her lip hoping that would make sense.

Surion quirked a brow, her words didn't quite make sense , perhaps it was how she said them...

Tinania closes her eyes then bites her bottom lip harder thinking "I mean...I want it to be special?" she blushes shaking her head "I know sounds silly..."

Surion clues in and sits up a little to kiss her lips, when he pulled away again to lay down once more he spoke "No it doesn't sound silly, it sounds like it comes from your heart"

Tinania opens her eyes looking at him then giggles siting up alittle arching her back alittle "I guess we'll know that day won't we?" she turns to look at him. She couldn't help it as she ran her fingers along his shirt.

"Yes, we will know when that day is right" he purrs and chuckled her touch was tickling him

Tinania smiles hearing him laugh. Without a second thought use uses all her fingers moving them lightly over the shirt. "I forgot you were ticklish right there.."

"Ack!" he cries out and starts laughing even more and moves to reach over to her going after tickling her

Tinania laughs moving out of reach. She wrinkles her nose shaking her head "Oh no yours not getting me again Surion..." she stuck her tongue at him.

"Oh you thinks so huh" he says wth a laugh following after her as quick as he could intent on tickling her

Tinania gasps then leaped away from him heading towards the end of the bed. She wasn't going to let him catch her, at least not this easy.

Surion moves into a slight float chasing after hre his tail flicking playfully as he growled just as playfully going after his 'prey'

Tinania leaped from the bed landing on all fours before taking off towards her door to her bathroom. She didn't even look back, she knew if she did he would catch her.

Surion laughed and hopped off the bed chasing after herkeeping low to make less wind resistance

She looked back only for a moment before reaching her bathroom door. Twisting the nod she starts to pull the door open.

Surion took a chance at a 'flying leap' intending to attempt a playful tackle growling as he moved

Tinania had nearly pulled the door open when she felt Surion hands right on her. Squeeling she tries to free herself from him.

Surion growls and his arms move to wrap around her waist holding her tight to him , his weight was all int eh float so he knew it wouldn't hurt her, if anything he'd be a floating clingy dragon

Tinania giggles trying her hardest to get free, it was when she felt his arms snake around her waist then felt her feet lift off the ground she knew she was trapped.

Laughing she pushes at his arms "No fair, you can't use your magic on me." she was having fun playing this cat and mouse game because chances are she would always let him catch her.

"Aww but my powers are so fun" he teases with a grin doing his pest to keep his grip around her

Tinania smirks then turns her head to look at him "True they are fun. But then I'm always going to be in trouble because of them. I'll never be able to get away." kissing his cheek she pushes at his hands once more.

"How good of a hunter do you think you are?" he asks in a purr in her ear

Tinania arched a brow then tilts her head to the side "Um I don't know, never though about it. Why do you ask?"

"Think you can find me without wishing me found?" he asks her with a soft grin

Tinania bites her bottom lip then nods "I can try..." she turns in his arms smirking "Why you want me to catch you? What if I find you, what do I win?" she runs her finger over his cheek.

"We'll decide that when and if you manage to locate me" he grin and lets go still floating, he floated jsut a few feet away behind her and went completely invisible

Tinania gasps landing then looks around arching a brow. She closes her eyes and for the first time ever that Surion would notice, her ears move alittle. She was blocking all the sounds out in hopes of finding him.

Surion flaoted sideways away from where she last saw him, and then backwards back into her room watching her search before coming to rest sitting atop a tall shelf in her room.

Tinania stood looking around, she was acturally really surprised but she seemed pretty well intuned with all the noises. She looked towards her shlfing her eyes narrowing just alittle.

Surion sat floating cross legged just barely above hte shelf so he wouldn't disturb the dust if she should look up there

Tinania smiles fluttering her wings very quickly. They started making a high pitch humming noise that would bounce off everything in the room. She kept watching the shelfing. She remembered how Surion didn't like High noises all that much.

Surion winced closing his eyes and biting his lip, he was determined to try and not get found and put his fingers in his ears to try and block it out, it wasn't just that he didn't like it, it really did hurt his dragonic hearing that he had inherited from his father

Tinania steps closer to the shelves looking up. She stopped moving her wings looking up. She was pretty sure he was up there she just had to figure it out.

Surion could hear the stopping of hte noise and was relieved though he didn't move, she was too close to move his arms, if anything all he COULD do was float away

Tinania spoke in elven something she knew he wouldn't understand. Suddenly a gust of wind flies upwards picking the dust up aiming right at Surion.

Surion's eyes went wide then closed just as face as it hit his face, he coughed "Ok that was cheating" he said and waved a hand trying to get the dust outta his face coughing a few times to clear his windpipes

Tinania giggles then shrugs "Hmmm? What didn't like how I figure out how to spot you? I used a weakness that was around you..." she sticks her tongue out at him as she place her hands on her hips.

Surion becomes visible once more "that was cheating" he says and sticks his tongue out before sinking to the floor

Tinania smirks shaking her head "How was that cheating? I didn't use my wishing powers that was the only thing you said not to use." she stays where she is her hands still on her hips.

Surion laughs "I dunno, it just was" he wrinkles his nose playfully at her

Tinania laughs then shrugs "Well I won...so what my prize?" she steps closer to him placing her hand on his chest.

Surion was about to open his mouth to reply when there was a knock on the door to Nani's room

Tinania groans then huffs turning towards the door "Its open..." she wraps her arms around her chest grumbling.

Ala opens the door "I'm sorry to disturb you two... but it's time to go home Surion"

Surion sighs, he knew he had no choice. looking at Nani he smiles weakly "Well, least my imprisonment is almost over, and I got to see you"

Tinania nods then leans up brushing her lips against his "Love you, and I'll see you soon okay.." she runs her fingers along his cheek before stepping away. She smiles to Ala "Thank you for bringing him with you Ms. Ala.."

Surion kisses her and then heads for the door

Ala nods, "Welcome Tinania" she says and then touching her son they disappear

The Road to Ungrounding

Torvil slowly walked to the door of his son's room, knocking on the door. "Surion... You dressed?"
roa
"Yeah dad" Surion replied he was sitting at his desk an elbow on the surface his chin in the palm of his hand his other hand pecking lazily at glitchen

"Good... We're going out to work on something..." He said softly as he slowly walked a few steps away from the door.

"All right" he said hitting a couple buttons to lock his computer and pulled the screen down closing it before standing and heading after his father

Torvil headed out towards the front, there were shovels and some other things as well.

Surion quirked a brow, curious of what he was supposed to help his father do

Torvil grabbed a shovel. "We're going to have fun today..." He chuckled softly.

"Fun?" he asked with a chuckle stooping to grab another shovel "What are we doing?"

"Making a road..." He chuckled softly. "We've got a whole mile of road to make... and not a lot of day to make it in..."

"Wouldn't it be faster to use Alchemy for this" he said looking out to the surrounding forest

"Yeah... But work builds character..." He chuckled softly and he turned his head. "Think of it as the last part of your punishment, once this is over you're free again...'

Surion looked back at his father "Are you serious?" he asked blinking, he knew his grounding time technically wasn't over

Torvil nodded. "Yeah..." He smiled softly. "I figure... You've suffered enough for the most part..."

Surion chuckled "Ok" he said not wanting to question his father to him the 'suffer'ing was not being with Nani

Torvil smiled and after a time they finally reached the road that stopped near the shop. "And here we start..."

"It kinda looks like this was supposed to go right through to begin with" Surion mused shifting the shovel from his shoulder to his two hands

Torvil nodded. "Yeah... They never finished... I'm not going to question why..." He chuckled and started to dig.

"Privacy perhaps" he said with a shrug and dug the shovel into the soil

Torvil nodded and shrugged. "All I know is that the last time I tried to roll down here in the car I nearly lost the muffler..." He grumbled and dug.

Surion nodded "Nani and Tari and Celia didn't even bother trying they just stopped at the other end..." he tossed some dirt to the side with a big stone ".. and I flew home to change"

Torvil nodded and kept digging, slowly moving further away from the road. "Yeah... Well after this they'll be able to come right up to the shop..."

"Should build something at the other end so they aren't right up on the grass , a parking area of sorts" he said as he tossed another large rock into the bushes at the side of the 'road'

Torvil chuckled. "Fine... I'll have YOU dig it out..." He smirked.

"Dad!" he stopped moving staring at his father

He laughed. "I was kidding... Kinda..." He laughed and kept digging. "I'm in a good mood for the most part..." He sighed.

Surion shook his head and laughed though at the same time deciding he should keep those kind of suggestions to himself. He got back to work looking forwards to the promised freedom at the end of the road

Torvil kept digging. "Once we finish digging we'll put the underlayer of gravel in... then tar it..." He chuckled softly as he moved. "I hope you aren't too attached to those clothes..."

Surion looked at his attire "Er yeah.. I am, but I'll go change before we do the really dirty stuff, dirt's one thing but that tar stuff...."

Torvil chuckled softly. "Yeah, Tar is nasty..." He laughed softly

"I haven't had that much experience with it ... actually I've had none.... guess I will" he stopped talking dropping the shovel to pick up a particularly large rock with both hands and toss it carefully to one side with a loud 'THUD' and a bit of vibration under their feet

Torvil chuckled. "That's the way to do it..." He smiled at his son and just kept moving with the shovel, stopping every now and again when they ran into rocks.

Surion hummed a tune feeling things seemed to go a lil faster when their was sound and not necessarily speech sound

Torvil slowly smiled. "Surion... Have I taught you the song yet?" He asked softly.

Surion looked at him "What song?" he asked

"The mating song..." Torvil chuckled softly. "It's kinda important

"I do not think so or if you have I didn't know that's what it was" Surion said paused watching him

Torvil chuckled softly and started to sing, starting slow and low, and slowly gaining volume.

Surion listened tot he words and tune, the tune he had heard before but not the words

Torvil sang it happily as he worked along the road, digging, it rose higher and higher in the air.

Surion got back to work following him and listening taking the words into his mind

Torvil kept on working and digging, still singing till finally the song was done.

Surion smiled "That's one song I'll have to remember" he mused "Hopefully I'll remember it all"

He chuckled. "Just let your heart guide you..." He smiled softly as he kept digging along.

Surion nodded and looked ahead they were pretty far through the forest. He smiled and started humming again this time humming the other tune.

Torvil smiled and kept up his digging pace, hoping that they did not in fact, have to stoop to alchemy... He was having fun using his own hands for once.

Surion paused and wiped his brow "phew, getting there..."

Torvil nodded. "Yeah..." He chuckled softly. "I need to get you out and working more often... Your a lightweight..."

Surion stuck his tongue out and then got back to work.

He chuckled softly and kept working, the shop coming into view slowly. "Whew... Good... We'll get this done before sunset I hope..."

"Yeah that would be good, I'm getting hungry" he chuckled

Torvil chuckled. "We could take a break for lunch,

"Nah, I'm fine for now" he said working harder humming quietly the tune, his mind thinking of the words

He smiled and kept working knowing it wouldn't take too much longer.

Surion sighed tossing the final large stone over to one side "There, stage one done at least"

Torvil nodded. "Now... We go around back and get the gravel..."

Surion nodded "I'll meet you back there I'm gonna go get changed real quick"

Torvil nodded and went to go get the gravel.

Surion wandered into the house getting changed and then met his father out back

Ala watched her son and mate work from the roof with a smile

Torvil was grabbing bags of gravel, putting them on his shoulders.

Surion joined him and hefted his own bags of gravel "Ok back to work"

Torvil nodded. "Yep... A Man's work is never done..." He chuckled softly heading back towards the road.

Surion laughed and hurried after him "I think I got most of that song down pat" he said with a smile

Torvil smiled. "Good!" He ripped open one bag once he got to the road and dropped them, starting to dump the gravel.

Surion nodded and followed suit silently

Torvil slowly started to fill the hole they had made with the gravel.

"How long have you meant to do this dad?" he asked curiously tossing the empty bag into a pile

"Since I got the car..." He chuckled softly. "I've just been lazy about it..." He chuckled.

Surion laughed "That was a while ago, I think I was just a toddler when you took it apart"

Torvil chuckled. "Yes... And you stole several important screws and it took me another month to put it back together..."

Surion blushed lightly "Hey you can't blame me!" he grinned "I can't help it if they were shiny and caught my eyes"

Torvil laughed. "Yeah... yeah..." He waved him off and kept filling the hole with gravel. "It didn't matter... Gave me an excuse to get more toys..."

Surion laughed doing exactly the same thing "Just so long as you don't want to take apart glitchen or the disc I think I'm happy"

"I'll leave the computer alone... I've done that bit... The disc tho..." His hands twitched a little.

"No dad... that's not mine..." he said firmly

Torvil nodded. "I know..." He sighed softly, he walked along for a moment and kept filling the hole. "I'll behave.

Surion smiled and wandered off tot he next hole and worked on filling it too

Torvil nodded his head and kept it up, moving along the line of it as he kept filling it with gravel.

Surion sighed when that task was finally complete "Step two done, now it's just that tar stuff right?"

Torvil nodded and smiled. "Yep..." he chuckled and headed back towards the house once more. "And that's going to be a rather.... Fun process..."

Surion scooped up the bags and the excess equipment carrying it back with him "What is involved?"

"Tar... A mop... more tar, and a metal device shaped like a large capitol T

Surion quirked a brow "Uhm ok"

"You might want to put your hair up too..."

Surion nodded and pulled a tie from his pocket and tied it back

Torvil nodded and did the same, putting it up rather high when he neared the large drum of tar.

Surion made a face "that stuff stinks" he said as the tar was near

He chuckled softly. "Yeah I know..." He said, slowly grabbing the handle of the dolly they were on and pulling back so they rolled.

"This had to be something a couple of guys with a good sense of smell has to do" he mumbled

Torvil chuckled softly. "Think of it as a contrast to the sweet smell of freedom... and the mate that's waiting for you when the job's done..." He smirked.

Surion looked at him then laughed "You have a convincing argument"

Torvil chuckled and nodded. "I thought it was..." He smiled as he pulled it along towards the soon to be road.

Surion laughed and helped pull the tar closer

Torvil smiled and kicked the fist bucket over, the tar fell into the now gravel filled trench and Torvil grabbed the metal t-bar and started to even it out. "Spread it out with the mop..."

Surion nodded holding his breath as much as he could following the instructions given

Torvil kept this up for quite some time, adding more tar... Soon they were near the original road.

"I am so going to need a shower then this is over" he shook his head

Torvil chuckled. "If you get tar on your skin you're going to need more than a shower..." He chuckled softly, which was funny... He had tar up to his shoulders by this point.

Surion made a face "Oh joy" he said, he'd been trying to stay as clean as possible while working hard

Torvil chuckled and soon he was making damn sure the roads would evenly sync up.

Surion stood to one side as his father finished the last of it up "Man it's nice to have finished that"

Torvil smiled. "Yeah..." He chuckled and took off his shirt, looking at his Tar covered arms. "Erm... This will be unpleasant..."

Surion laughed and turned running towards the shop, he'd only gotten his clothing and didn't want to be gotten by his father

Torvil chuckled and ran behind him, knowing that getting the tar off his skin was going to be very, very unpleasant. He did not head into the house when they got there, instead he headed around back,.

Surion decided to keep out of his father's reach so he didn't catch him and he was soon stripping off anything that had tar on it, leaving him in his boxers as he ran into the house

Torvil chuckled again and headed around the back of the house, slowly starting to pour water in a large bucket... IT was going to take more than the water to loosen the tar from his skin, and he doubted he'd walk away without a few sore patches.

Surion took his hot shower then returned to the back door and leaned against the frame clothed once more and watched his dad

Torvil had started a fire and the water was boiling and bubbling... He had a few potion decanters near him, most of them marked as dangerous.

"I think it might be wise for me to steer clear" he mused He would have simply left but wanted to be absolutely certain he was no longer grounded before going anywhere

Torvil slowly poured some of the liquid into the water, then slid his arms in, the water started to turn black as the tar was slowly disassembled.

Surion made a face... it stunk... badly

Torvil turned and looked at him, having heard him come out. He chuckled at the face and smirked. "Think about how I feel... I'm right on top of it..."

"I'd rather not" he laughed "It's why I tried to keep clean for the most part"

Torvil nodded and slowly pulled his arms out, a lot of it was red, like he'd flayed the skin off. "Ow... Too long in..." he muttered, then moved to put out the fire.

Surion winced "Ok I can't watch this, Am I still grounded dad?"

"Nope, you're a free man now... Unless you... WANT to be grounded..." He chuckled softly as he poured the basin over to get rid of the waste water... The black sludge hissed and started to eat into the dirt.

"No no thanks, I'm outta, I'm gonna go surprise Nani, she should be getting off work right about now" he smiled and disappeared into the house

Torvil laughed and shook his head. "Just like me... That's... eerie and cute..."

Sur Surprises Nani

Tinania was sitting there explaining to the class what was to be on the upcoming exam "Also you may want to touch up on the hexes. Although we didn't study them long they will be on the exam. So just look over them quickly..."

She smiles as she hands out their homework for that night. "Since the exam are coming up this is going to be pretty simple. Just review then write down the meaning of all these words that are in bold. Know them all for tomorrows test." she walks back over to her desk "Any questions?"

It took Surion a while to figure out exactly where he was going, but he was determined and finally figured it out, he glanced into her class and snuck in when her back was turned sitting in a darker corner away from her pupils

Tinania turns then smiles, she hadn't seen Surion "Well since there is ten minutes left, you can all go early. I will see you all tomorrow, remember don't forget to study. And bring you herbs tomorrow." turning her back again she wipes the black board off.

She looked so formal, her hair pulled up into a neat bun, the circlet she wore with green gems made noise as she moved. Her Elven riding gown had some chalk dust on it.

Surion watched the students file out, but only for a moment, his attention was drawn more to her, he'd not seen her in nearly a week as a free man, had his father not shortened his grounding it would have been another day or two before he would have

Tinania turned as she brushed some of the fallen hair from her face looking over her notebook. Picking it up she turns back writing some of the notes for tomorrow onto the board. She was humming to herself as she worked.

Surion got up and using the silent hunting techniques he learned at the cliffs and walked towards the front of the room stopping directly behind her he put his hands over her eyes

Tinania froze in place not breathing, her first thought was to grab her blade off her waist. Moving her hand to her belt she bit her bottom lip "Um...."

Surion's tail moved to her wrist "No need for that" he whispered

Tinania gasps then turns looking at him her eyes wide with shock "Surion what are you doing here? Don't tell me you snuck out...your going to get into more trouble. Then I won't see you..." she step back frowning.

Surion shook his head "I didn't sneak out, I promise you" he said smiling softly and reaching for her hands not wanting her to step away

Tinania frowns again looking at him "But your suppose to be at home still.. And you said online you were tempted..." she looked down at his hands as they took hers.

"Dad shortened my grounding, after I finished helping him dig out and tar the road that connects the shop to the main road so there is now a road all the way to the shop and my place. I know I've been tempted, but I didn't sneak away, I'm free of being grounded.... thankfully"

Tinania looks up at him then smiles alittle "So your really here? I'm not making this up?" she steps closer to him touching his cheek with her right hand.

Surion nodded "I thought you might like a surprise visit, besides... I couldn't stay away any longer, I missed you... a lot"

Tinania blushes then moves into his arms wrapping her arms around him "Oh Sur I missed you so much too. I'm so glad you're here..." she hugs him close smiling.

Surion purred softly wrapping his arms around her "I am glad to be here" he kissed her forehead softly "It's no fun being stuck at home and not seeing the one you love"

Tinania giggles then looks up at him "Well I'm happy to see you. And with me just finishing up class is even better." she leans up kissing him softly before pulling back.

"Timing couldn't have been better, and thankfully unlike dad I barely got any of the tar on me so I could come faster" he let her pull away "Do what you need to do then we can go do something together" he said softly

Tinania blushes then nodding she turns writing the last of her notes onto the board before gathering all her notebooks and her teacher's guide into her bag.

Looking back at him she smiles "I think that everything. So what do you have planned?" she tilts her head looking at him then to the ground.

"Nothing in particular Nani, just so long as it's with you I'm happy, I intend to stay out as long as I can tonight, and as long as you'll let me" he said walking up to her and putting his fingers under her chin tipping her head back up, and leaning in to give her a soft kiss

Tinania shivers alittle from his simple kiss, since coming back from her talk with the Fairy queen there was a side of her wanting release.

Placing her hand on his chest she deepens the kiss alittle, her over hand wrapping around his neck.

Surion purred waiting a couple minutes before breaking the kiss "Lets get outta here, I'm sure there must be a place we'd both rather be right about now"

Tinania blushes pulling her emo bag over her shoulder "Doesn't matter where we are, so long as its with you.." she kisses him lightly again then steps towards the door.

Surion smiled and then follows her "Somewhere secluded, where we won't be disturbed sounds good right about now" he says and wraps an arm around her

Tinania giggles tilting her head to the side "Oh? Well that about anywhere in the forest then. Best place would have to be the one lake I took your to as a toddler." she relaxes against him closing her eyes.

"I remember that place, I remember the song you sang and the image you created.. it sounds like a wonderful place to go spend time alone." He smiles and nods

Tinania giggles once they reach the edge of the walkway before they could head down the stairs to the ground. Looking around she point towards a clearing "That the lake over there.."

Surion smiles "Lead the way, you are the one who took me there last time" he laughs and pulls her closer

Tinania turns then leaning in she press her soft lips against his as they disappear from the walkway. Within second they reappear right by the lake, it was peaceful and cool like always.

Pulling away she looks at him running her finger over lip "I believe I like that alot better then walking..."

"It's a faster way to become alone, so I'm all for it" he chuckles and returns her kiss holding her close not wanting to let go

Tinania giggles against his lip then pulls away looking at him. She was still amazed that he was here with her. She never truly understood until that point how much she missed him.

Turing to look around she giggles looking at him over her shoulder "So what shall we do now that were all alone..?"

"Kiss, cuddle and spend time together?" he grinned "Specifics are not a problem to me, you can pick"

Tinania giggles then stepping up closer to him she tilts her head looking at his lips "What about all of the above?" she licks her bottom lip then looked up at him again.

Surion laughs "No arguments on my part" he tells her

Tinania giggles then steps away from him walking towards the tree. "You would... course I love having you here..." she turns looking at him as she pulls her hair out from its bun.

Surion smiles "You Nani look gorgeous, even moreso then a week ago" he tells her looking her over as he spoke, he missed seeing her a lot

Tinania blushes then wrinkles her nose "I'm sure I do..." she laughs running her hand though her hair. Dusting her dress off she looked out over the lake "Mmm swimming sound so good right about now.. but I don't have my suit.."

Glancing at him she blushes even more, she had to admit she like looking at him, moreso now that she had him again. It was crazy how much she wanted him near her "It's the imp in me.." she whispers softly to herself as she continue to watch him.

"I don't have my suit either" he replies walking up to her and standing behind her wrapping his arms around her waist looking over her shoulder "But swimming does sound nice, especially after being cooped up in a house for several days"

Tinania tilts her head to the side looking at the water again then looks at him from the corner of her eyes "So you wanna go swimming?" she turned alittle in his arms so she could fully look at him.

"With you? Any day" he grins and kisses her softly purring happily glad to be in her presence

Tinania giggles against his lips then pulls at his shirt alittle before stepping away "Okay then..." she turn in his arm lifting her hair up off her dress "Could you undo this for me then?"

Surion looks at her for a moment then reaches slowly undoing her dress running his fingers softly along her back as he did

Tinania closed her eyes biting her bottom lip to stop the soft moan. Her skin was hot to the touch being in the dress all day.

Tiling her head forward alittle she lets her hair far "Thank you..." her cheeks were alittle rosy but she tried hard to hide it.

"You are most welcome Nani" Surion replies running his fingers once more along her back before stepping away working on the buttons of his shirt

Tinania looked at him smiling then slipped the dress slowly off her shoulders then down her arms. Stepping out of the dress she laid it on the boulder near the lake.

Fixing her black lacy bra then the black bikini bottoms she walked towards the lake slowly placing her feet into the river. She yelps from the cold then shivers "Okay that's cold..."

Surion can't help but stare and get distracted before he moved quickly to shed his shirt and pants following her to the water wearing just his boxers moving into the ankle deep water beside her

Tinania shiver looking at him before looking out at the water. Why did he have to be so hot? "You first.." she laughs alittle nudging him. Her wings fluttered alittle catching the sun.

Surion looks at her and laughs "Me first huh, ok if you insist" he said as his eyes change color and he moved into the water and drops into it surfacing with a slight shiver

Tinania giggles watching him, she walked out alittle so the water was about up to her waist. She shivers even more laughing "The water cold?"

"A little" he replies with a smile and a nod moving closer to her taking ahold of her hand looking up at her his dark blue and silver streaked hair fanned out around him on the water's surface

Tinania smiles looking down at him, her hand caressing his before she winks "Well then guess I should face it also..." stepping away from him she dives under the water swimming a few feet away.

Resurfacing she gasps pushing her hair from her face "Okay really really cold!!!" she shivers then shakes her head.

Surion laughs and swims closed to her so that he was within arm-reach of her "But you... are hot... so it's a good combination" he grins

Tinania looks at him laughing then splashing him "Oh whatever no one looks hot when there soaking wet.." she dives back under the water swimming away from him

"You do" he says with a laugh and chases after her swimming underneath the water

Tinania resurface pushing her hair from her face, she floated there her wings glittering alittle because of the water.

Surion surfaces behind her reaching and running a finger up her spine and staring at her shiny wings, something of which it was not the first time he had been attracted to for it's shininess

Tinania gasp then closed her eyes shivering alittle. Turning around she wrinkles her nose alittle her wings fluttering so they started glittering even more. "You having fun teasing me Surion?"

"Of course, my love, I haven't been able to in nearly a week, so I'm making up for lost time" he winks and grinning moving a little closer and reaching over her shoulder to run his fingertips along one part of her wings

Tinania squeaks then looks at him blushing. Okay that was indeed a new feeling, no one had ever touched her wings. She shivers letting her breath out slowly.

Surion looks at her "You are so adorable when you blush" he whispers to her running his finger along the shiny wing once more before pulling it away

Tinania shivers again then glares at him trying hard not to blush again "And your a tease, plus your not allowed to touch my wings like that again.." she pokes him in the stomach laughing.

Surion pouts "Now that's just no fair" he teases looking at the water rather then her

Tinania giggles then moves closer to him kissing him softly as she runs her fingers along the horns in his hair before pulling back "Life not fair.."

"You are right there..." he says with a pouty smile looking at her, inwardly thanking his brother right about then and his own memory for the potion he took before going out. Had he not... it'd be awful tough not to pounce her right about then

Tinania kisses his pouty lips then wraps her arms around his neck pressing herself alittle closer to him "I love you..."

"I love you to Nani, with all my heart, I am glad I held out hope you'd be single still when I grew up" he tells her wrapping his arms around her waist holding her close before softly kissing at her neck

Tinania shivers closing her eyes "Yea, I bet your happy Gavin was a fling.." she tilts her head to the side running her hands along the bottom of his hair.

"More then you'll ever know" he murmurs kissing more along her neck towards her ear and purring loudly

Tinania moans softly moving alittle against his touch. She ran her fingers slowly down his back breathing slowly "Sur your...a...brat.. "

"I think I'll take that as a compliment" he whispers with a soft chuckle, he kisses her earlobe and returns to her neck then jaw moving towards her lips

Tinania whimpers alittle pressing her lips against his, her hands running along his side. She was trying hard to keep in control but it was getting hard for her to.

Surion purrs holding the kiss for a minute before slowly breaking it and moving a mere couple inches away "I missed your kisses while I was grounded" he tells her softly

Tinania gasps then pout alittle before blushing floating there "I missed your kisses, your body, hell I missed you.." she laughs shaking her head so she sprayed him with water.

Surion laughs closing his green eyes while she shakes her head "I've missed everything about you, and I'm glad it's over I was going crazy... I'm just glad I had a way to contact you and let you know"

Tinania nods then floats on her back "I'm glad I helped you set it up then. I would have been worrying over you if I hadn't heard from you." she closes her eyes not caring that she no longer hiding her body because of the lace on her bra and bottom.

"I would hate to be the cause of your worries... hopefully I never am" he said sinking down to his neck in the water. he didn't say much about the setting up of glitchen, it was a somewhat rough patch of his life he'd rather have forgotten

Tinania looks at him then smiles "I'll always worry about you Sur, that just me. So don't hate yourself over it.." she goes quiet looking up at the cloudy sky, she could smell rain in the air.

Surion nods slowly, "Whatcha looking at?" he asks looking up in the same direction as she was

Tinania shivers then looks at him "Smells like its going to rain soon..." being part fairy she could tell sense the weather pretty well.

Surion blinks then looks at her "We should probably go then, so we don't get caught in it"

Tinania giggles then arches her brow "I love the rain, I use to go dancing in it when I was living with my grandmother.." she dives under the water swimming towards the shore.

Surion shakes his head with a chuckle and follows after her... if she wanted to stay out in the rain he wasn't going to complain, he just wanted to be with her

Tinania resurfaces walking out of the water, she tilts her head back pushing her hair from her face as the water ran down along her skin. Her wings look like the had jewels in them because of the water.

"Ok now she's torturing me" Surion murmurs softly to himself staring at her wings having a hard time looking anywhere but her or her wings as he moved out of the water his eyes returning to their normal blue color

She stood there letting her wings flutter alittle as she fixed her bra and bikini bottoms. Bending over she looked though her emo bag hoping to find the cloth she always kept with her.

Surion finally tore his eyes from her looking away and walking towards his clothing shaking hte water from his boxers

Tinania finally found the cloth wrapping it around her hair to dry it as she slipped her dress back on. Looking over at Surion she smiles "So now what do you wish to do Sur?"

Surion looked towards her pulling on his shirt already done his pants "Hmmm cuddle kiss and everything above, question is... where"

Tinania pulls at the cloth that was in her now curly hair. She pushes her hand though her hair to make it look alittle better "Hmm well the cabin out of question. Celia got it tonight..."

"Hmmm so no on the cabin, I suppose that just leaves your place, and mine" He muses walking closer to her

Tinania tilts her head nodding "If you want to deal with Merawen, LeLani, Craig, and Nana, then I guess my place. But you will get asked questions like crazy.." she tries to button the dress back up failing at it.

"I've spent more time in my bedroom in the recent days then Id prefer to" he admits and moves behind her shooing her hands away to help her

Tinania giggles then lifts her hair off her neck "Yea but I've spent more time at my house then I like to. It seem Ducan was looking for me in Barton.." she shivers alittle then frowns "So where?"

Surion frowns and thinks being silent as he does up her dress, "I don't know" he admits letting his hands fall after the last button

Tinania sighs thinking then bending over she pulls out her cell dialing her house number. When Nana picks up she frowns "Hey Nana...yea everything cool.. I'm just gonna be late.. you were about to head home?" she turns smiling at Sur.

Shaking her head she smiles "No you don't have to wait for me.. yea I'm sure.. okay bye see you tomorrow.." she click to cell off then giggles "Well it seems we can head back to my place.."

Surion laughs "They are disappearing are they" he asks reaching and brushing a hair off her face

Tinania closes her eyes when he touches her cheek then opens them nodding "Yea there all heading home before it starts raining.." she bends down picking up her emo bag.

"They aren't as fond of the rain I take it" he asks watching her pick up her bag

Tinania shakes her head "No it just the road to the Guardian Village floods." pulling the bag over her shoulder she shivers alittle as the wind picks up and it starts to rain lightly.

Surion nods "Well we can use the discs or you can take us I don't care either way" he tells her wrapping his arms around her

Tinania giggles then closing her eyes they vanished from the lake only to within second appear in front of her home. She shivers alittle more as the rain started coming down fast.

"Don't want you shivering too much, or getting sick so lets get inside" he says after he sees Emerald Haven appear

Tinania nods then turns running up the few steps, pulling her key out she unlocks the door pushing it open.

Stepping inside she didn't even wait until she was fully inside she pulled her wand out aiming it at the fireplace so it lit. "Oh my goddess is it cold out there, fall really coming in fast.."

"Too fast for my liking really" Surion agrees closing the door behind them and shaking his hair out a little

Tinania nods tossing her bag onto the couch. Her cat Rose yelped then hiss at her "Tinania watch it I was sleeping here!!!" she grumbles curling back up.

Tinania laughs then smiles "Sorry Rose..." she turns looking back at Surion "This is much better.." she looks towards the window as she heard the rain hitting the glass.

"Oh most definitely, warmer... and drier" he walks up close to her purring softly taking hold of her hands

Tinania smiles looking at him then down at the ground "So...um..."

"What is the um for" he asks her softly pulling her close and then running his hand along her cheek to her chin

Tinania blushes then looks at him "Trying to figure out what to do next that won't have me wanting to pounce you..." she looks away wrapping her arms around his waist.

"I think we've been holding off on that one for a quite a while, I know we're strong enough to keep it up... I suppose in the mean time we could find something to do together that would have us cuddling together..." he said kissing her forehead and then resting his forehead against her gently

Tinania smiles then pulls away "We could go into the study, there a fireplace in there along with this huge couch like the one at the cabin." she point at the door that was close near the kitchen.

Surion nods and slowly lets her go "The study it is then" he smiles at her "I love you Nani"

Tinania leans up kissing him softly then pulls away "I'll meet you in there, I'm gonna change out of this dress.. " she steps away opening the study up.

There were bookshelves all along the walls, under the window was a desk. In the middle of the room was a huge dark green couch that was in front of the fireplace. Candles lit the room as the outside grew dark.

Tinania hands Surion her phone "Might want to call your mother, looks like is getting bad out there." with that she turn walking upstairs.

"Thanks Nani, I will" he kisses her cheek and wanders into the study dialing on her phone as he did putting it to his ear "Hey Emi, mum there please...thanks" he waited for her to come tot he phone and sat down "Hi mum, I'm at Nani's, yeah it's yucky out... I'm going to wait it out.. Yeah, ok thanks.. see ya later" he turns off the phone and waits for Nani humming the song his father had taught him while they were building the road

Tinania walked into the study, she was in her light blue sweat pants that read Sexy on them and the matching jacket, underneath was a plan white tank top. On her feet were white socks. Her hair was fully curly now.

Walking over to him she stands in front of him listening to him hum for a moment before smiling "Your mum okay with you being here?"

Surion looks up at her and nods "Yeah, she is, I told her I'm gonna wait it out then go home" he takes in her attire and smiles "That outfit likes to describe you doesn't it"

Tinania blushes taking a seat next to him "I don't know what your talking about." she leans back against him watching the fire as it dances in the fireplace.

Surion laughs and puts an arm around her "I'm sure you do... you blushed" he purrs and hums softly

Tinania giggles then closes her eyes "I always blush around you, I can't help it." she pauses then tilts her head alittle "What you humming?"

"A song dad taught me while we were working earlier, there's words to it too" he tells her staring into the fire and just holding her close

Tinania tilts her head looking at him "There are? Can I hear you sing them?" she sits up alittle running her finger over his pants leg.

Surion watches her a moment then nods "All right, hopefully I'll remember them all" he bites his lip and takes a breath before starting to sing the words his father had been teaching him earlier that day

Tinania listens as she watches the him, she smiles laying her head on his shoulders. She shivers alittle when she hears the wind whistle loud outside then the crack of thunder.

Surion's song continued right through the thunder, if anything all the thunder did was make him hold her closer

Tinania closes her eyes listening to him, the words flow over her body wrapping around her. She seem much calmer and peaceful even as the rain got worse.

Surion finally stops singing and looks at her "That's it" he said quietly unsure if he should tell her exactly what the song is

Tinania smiles then kisses his cheek "That was beautiful Surion." she cuddles close to him before looking at him "What did the words mean?" her wings fluttered alittle as they dried

Surion looks away and into the fire blushing "It's the male's half of the Dragonic mating song" he murmurs

Tinania arches a brow "Mating Song? Male half? There another part to that song? " she pauses thinking about this looking at her lap.

"Yeah.. the female's half" he can't help it, he's as red as a beet now as he peeks in her direction to see her reaction

Tinania keeps looking at her lap thinking out loud "So your father taught it to you.. Does your mother know the song? " she looks at him, curiosity had come to her eyes.

"I would imagine she does... I've never asked her" he admits watching her and the curiosity that had appeared "But they've been together long enough and tot he cliffs enough times I'm sure she's learned it"

Tinania smiles touching his cheek "Then I guess I'll have to talk to your mother sometimes won't I? " she leans up kissing his cheek then pulls away giggling laying her head back on his shoulder.

Surion blushes and nods "I guess you will" he murmurs holding her close "I missed you"

Tinania smiles then wrinkles her nose "I missed you too love, but I'm here now and you don't have to miss me ever again.. " she pulls him close locking her lips on top of his with a deep passionate kiss.

Surion purrs loudly pulling her close deepening the kiss more his arms wrapped around her moving with the hint to her that he hoped she'd pick up to sit on his lap facing him

Tinania did move to sit in his lap facing him, her hands running down over his stomach as she moved alittle. She was trying hard to not pay attention to her imp blood that was demanding release.

Surion broke the kiss, mainly for air "Visha.. Nani, I love you.." he whispers before kissing her again, and trying to keep his hormones in check

Tinania gasps against his lips unbuttoning his shirt so she can runs her hands over his bare skin. Her fingers massaging at his skin as she bite at the bottom of his lip lightly. She was slowly loosing this battle she was fighting, it had been way to long since she was this close to him.

Surion purrs pausing for a time but not really moving away from her "gotta, keep, control of ourselves..." he whispers

Tinania breaths slowly then giggles "Do we have to? " she leans in kissing at his neck as she moved on his lap.

"For the most part, I think so.. But that doesn't stop us from making out all night" he says softly tipping his head as she kisses his neck

Tinania nibbles on his neck then kisses it softly "True, but who say we can't explore either, just not go all the way. There is foreplay... " she runs her hands along the hem of his pants as she moves upwards to nibble on his ear.

"Yeah.... true.... " his mind wasn't on his vocabulary as he spoke shivering, Thank Visha for my brother's potions he thinks to himself

Tinania moves slipping off his lap. She stood in front of him running her finger over his bottom lip. "Dear Visha I just want you, you don't even know how badly... "

"No I don't know, I can guess, but don't know" he kisses her finger

Tinania giggles then just sits back in his lap running her hand though his hair "Is it always going to be like this? I mean this raw heat between us? " she runs her other hand along his hand giving his hand a squeeze alittle.

"Somehow I think the feelings we feel for each other just emphasize a meaning for each other, if that makes sense, so if that's true... then probably" He smiles at her lifting his free hand to her cheek stroking it softly

Tilting her head towards his touch she smiles "Mmmm if that the case were going to be in so much trouble when we get older... " she closes her eyes moving just alittle on top of him, she couldn't help it.

"Anything is possible" he agrees softly caressing her cheek his fingers traveling along her cheekbone

Tinania licks her bottom lip then looks at him "Your in so control.. " she lays head head on his shoulder again. She held him close listening to his heart beat while she ran her finger on his tail.

"Barely..." he murmurs running a finger softly along the edge of her ear, he knew that was teasing, but it seemed natural

Tinania shiver lightly biting at his neck. Her hands moving to pull at the hem of his pants. If he kept messing with her ear she wasn't going to be able to hold back her imp side.

He wanted to tease her, not push her too far and let his hand move into her hair purring loudly feeling her after his neck again

Tinania continue to nibble on his neck her hands rest on the hem of his pants. She breathed slowly her wings fluttering as she listen to him purr. "Surion your evil for messing with my ear you know that.. "

"I'm evil for many things, or so you've told me" he grins "One day it'll be a good evil I'm sure"

Tinania giggles then leans back to look at him "Well I'll tell you one thing, if you keep teasing me like that, that good evil will happen sooner then you think.. " she was blunt as she leaned in kissing him softly.

Surion laughs and returns the kiss "That doesn't surprise me" he whispers kissing her softly again his hands traveling her back lightly around the base of her wings but on the skin

Tinania shivers from his touch, trying hard not to move. Her wings fluttered again as she rest her head against Surion's forehead "Would it be bad for me to say I wish I can feel your skin against mine? "

"I don't think so... " He replies after a moment of thinking about her words

Tinania blushes looking down at her hands that she moved to place on his stomach "It won't go any farther, I promise, but I have to feel you close. You were gone from me for so long.. " she stops talking breathing slowly.

"Longer then I would have liked, I have some things for you... I forgot to bring them with me, was too much in hurry to see you" he murmurs kissing the tip of her nose since her head was looking downwards

Tinania looks up then pout then wrinkles her nose smiling "Aww I completely forgot about those gifts. My mind was else where.. " she leans in kissing at his collarbone.

"Yeah, mine was too" he says softly purring as she went after his collarbone. He held her close he was up to doing nearly anything with her that stormy day

Tinania pushed his shirt away from his body so she could touch his bare chest. She pulled back looking at him desire was indeed in her eyes "Its like right now, I know I should stop, but I don't wish to.. " she leans down running her tongue over his collarbone.

"Uh huh" Surion tips he head back leaning it against the couch, he was glad he didn't have to think about much, just keeping something hidden, cause he wouldn't have succeeded

Moving further she unbuckle his pants watching him "But now I'm curiosity as to see how far you let me go before you start teasing me, or stop me.. " she unbuttons his pant then slowly unzips them.

Surion lifts his head watching her, it was a side of her he'd only seen like this once before that he could remember. For the mean time perhaps he should see what she was intending, he didn't know...

Tinania slipped off his lap pulling at his pants slowly she kissed every part of his skin that she could, her hands moving slowly and lightly over his skin as she pushed the pants down.

Looking up at him her aqua blue eyes were darker with a hint a green as she kisses back up his skin giving a light bite at his inner thigh once in awhile as her hand moved along the top of his boxers.

"Nani...." he said softly placing his hand atop of hers, he was purring, but didn't this was the right time to go really far "How much... exploring are you thinking of?" he asked softly

Tinania voice was soft and seductive as she moved her hands under his "I wanna please you Surion. " she licked her bottom lip her eyes growing darker, it seem she had given in to her imp side.

Surion swallowed... he watches her eyes change "You.. do?" he squeaks he'd not seen her quite like this, this was even different then the day of their picnic

Tinania laughs alittle then moves to kneel in front of him. Moving his hands to rest on his stomach she trails her hands back down to run along his boxers "Yes I do.. more then anything.. " she pulls at his boxers alittle pushing them down just alittle.

Her eyes were fully dark green now, leaning down she runs her tongue along his chest, then down to his stomach, her hands pushing his boxers down slowly inch by inch.

"Nani... I ... " he was not ready for anything like what she seemed to be doing, He moves his hands taking her wrists gently "This.. isn't exploring..." he was stammering his tail moved under her chin hoping to make her look up rather then... down

Tinania looked up at him her eyes locking with his "Please Sur.. " she licks her bottom lip as she try to free her hands from his.

Surion leans forward still holding her hands firmly yet gently "Nani... I love you... but that.... I'm not... ready to do that" he looks at her with pleading eyes

Tinania saw the pleading in his eyes then looked away closing her eyes. She breathed slowly shaking her head "I'm sorry..... " she tries to pull away from him her wings fluttering fast making a loud humming noise.

"Nani I love you I really do... " he lets go, he refuses to hold her if she wanted away

Tinania wrapped her arms around her waist, she was breathing slowly as she tried to fight the imp in her. Her wings that were humming were now glowing a dark blue also.

Tinania had heard his word but she was too scared to talk. Sitting there she kept shaking.

Surion bit his lip, he didn't move and was watching her, he didn't know what to do, but he knew whatever happened he wouldn't let this effect their relationship, he loved her too much for that

Sitting there until at last she had control she slowed her wings down until they barely moved. She placed her hands on the carpet breathing hard.

Opening her eyes she looked at him, the once dark green had eyes were now the aqua blue as before. She looked away from him "I'm sorry Sur, I should have kept in control... "

Surion moved fixing his pants in the process till he was sitting right beside her "We all have our rough points, I love you Nani, and there will be a time we are both ready for this kind of thing." he moved a hand to her chin to turn her face towards his

Tinania looks at him talking not even above a whisper "I can't control it, the imp in me. I was warned about it, but I didn't know until now how bad it is in me... " she gulps hard still shaking.

Surion sighs softly and pulls her close wrapping his arms around her just holding her close "I understand, and I don't hold things against you, I will help you if I can till the time comes, trust me, if it wasn't for the help of my brother... I would have a hard time controlling my own hormones..."

Tinania rest her head against his chest "I'm sorry scared I'm gonna do something stupid Sur, and you'll never want to see me again.. " she closes her eyes glad her breathing had return back to normal.

"I waited for you for as long as I did, I don't think I could let something like this change that fact. Dragonics have problems of their own in that bracket, dad calls it the urge, it's the urge to mate, and it's strong, he told me I'd eventually have to learn to control it on my own, for now I get help from my brother" he purrs softly holding her trying to reassure her

Tinania looks at him "Its the fairy in me, or what they call the imp. I learned were very sexual creature...I have to control it, but the queen said it be hard in the beginning especially since I have a love. " she looked back down shaking her head "I'm sorry I scared you... "

"You are more then forgiven Nani, I'm not going to let something like this come between us, it's just not worth it to let it... If I have to I'll sit here and hold you to reassure you till I have to go" he kisses her forehead softly

Tinania shakes her head "No, its okay... " she leans up kissing him softly then touches his cheek "I'm okay now.. " she smiles running her finger over his cheek.

"I'm glad, would be a quiet evening otherwise" he purrs softly and smiles returning her kiss happily

Tinania pulls him closer to her before laying down on the plush carpet "If you ever see my eyes start turning dark green like that, throw icy cold water on me please.. " she runs her fingers along his stomach.

"I promise.. and I don't even have to go anywhere to get the water" he giggles, her fingers tickle, his torso was still bare after all

Tinania smiles then lets her hand drop from his stomach "The queen wasn't kidding when she said I was a grown woman inside.. " she looks over at the fire watching it.

"You are a grown woman inside and out in my eyes... but then I was a man in my father's eyes after I went on my hunt.. I guess that's a bad comparison... You are wonderful, and I'm lucky to have you as my girlfriend..." He tells her

Tinania smiles taking his hand "You were always a man Surion. Even as a kid you were mature or you wouldn't have kissed me that one day.. " she pulls at hsi arm alittle wanting him to lay down next to her.

Surion blushed lightly remembering that day and moves with her pull lying on the carpet facing her "I still surprised myself I did that"

Tinania smiles then runs her finger along his cheek "You surprise, I was shocked that you did it. I didn't know what to do... " she giggles "I bet my face was priceless.. "

"You could say that... I didn't know whether to run or stay" he laughs and nuzzles her hand

Tinania smiles then shakes her head "If you ran I would have left and never come back... " she lets her hand fall to touch his arm "To this day I regret I'm the reason you had to go though that pain.. "

"Nani, I was a kid, I should have expected you would find someone your age, as much as I hoped you wouldn't" he smiles softly at her "And I'm glad I didn't run if that's the case"

Tinania smiles then turns to lay on her stomach "I still have thought before leaving my glitchen up. " she kisses his cheek then looks at the fire "I'm glad you didn't either... "

"So many different memories there are very few I don't like remembering, but there are many I love remembering... like the day I called your cell with mums in that book store" he grins

Tinania laughs then nudges him "That was so evil, I swear I'm lucky I didn't faint in shock or something. I think it was because I was sitting. If I was standing I would have hit the ground. " she pauses then sighs.

"Yea we have memories we love to forget... " she had those memories too. Of one person, who she she been avoiding for awhile now.

Surion laughs with her but grows quiet when she did "They are never fun... but life wouldn't be normal if everything went good I guess"

Tinania nods then sighs "I wish my life was normal for once. I have my grandparent demanding one thing. My mother another, and all I want to do is tell them to back off.. " she shakes her head.

"Then there Ducan who won't get the meaning of the word NO.. " she frowns looking at her hands remembering the day he healed her over a beating from Ducan "I just wish for once I had it normal.. "

"Oh Nani I'm sorry, I wish I could make everything right for you" He says quietly and takes her hands holding them in his own

Tinania shakes her head "Don't be sorry, its been something I've been dealing with since I was a kid. " she kisses his hands "Your pretty lucky, you don't have people pulling you in all directions. "

"That doesn't mean I can't wish I could... I just hope nothing really bad ever happens for you again.. but just remember if it does... I'm here for you, no matter what" he purrs softly looking at her

Tinania nods then leaning in she kisses him lightly on the lips "I know love, as I am here for you.. " she runs her hand along his arm then smiles.

Surion purrs returning her kiss "You are special, don't let anyone tell you otherwise"

Tinania giggles then shakes her head "I know but it gets hard sometimes you know. I'm just glad I have you to come too. " she lays back down on her back so he above her.

"You will always have me that you can come to, no matter what the reason, good or bad" he smiles down at her placing his hand lightly on her belly "I predict a long happy future" he tells her and then leans down kissing her softly

Tinania touches his cheek as she return the kiss her fingers running down his cheek then down to his neck. She pulls away then nods alittle "As do I, a long hot, but happy future. " she giggles wrinkling her nose.

Surion chuckles "yes" he looks around "I wonder what the weather is doing now" he muses

Tinania tilts her head back looking out at the window, the sun was setting it seem, and it had indeed stopped raining. She gasp sitting up "Oh my goddess, it stop raining.. " she looks at him then laughs "I guess we forgot about it.. "

Surion laughs and sits as well "Well I better keep my word to my mother, I have no desire to get grounded a second time... When can I come bring you those presents?" he asks her

Tinania thinks for a moment she smiles "Tomorrow, classes end at noon tomorrow. " she leans over grabbing his shirt handing it to him "I should be home around one in the afternoon... "

"Then it's a date" he says taking his shirt from her and pulls it on doing it up "Love you Nani" he leans and gives her a peck of a kiss

Tinania smiles then touches his cheek "Love you Sur.. " she lays back down on the carpet looking up at him then yawns. "Ugh sleeps creeping up on me.. " she shakes her head.

"Sleep well Nani" he tells her and stands up. After a moment he heads out the door of the study and then the house pulling out the disc and hopping on it to go home

Tinania smiles watching him leave before crawling up on the couch, She pull the blanket from the other end over her body watching the fire. Her mind was wondering mostly about tonight. "If I'm not able to control this imp in me, I'm gonna be in serious trouble... " shaking her head she closed her eyes within minutes drifting off to sleep.

Gifts for Nani

It was just barely after one in the afternoon, he wanted to be on time. With a smile he walks up to the Haven's front door and knocked, he had a pretty hefty bag hanging over his shoulder

Tinania was sitting on the couch grading some papers, her hair was up in a messy bun and for once she had on a long sleeve shirt with a pair of ripped up jean.

Glancing at the door she arches a brow "Its open you can come it.."

Surion pushes open the door "Hellooo" he said with a happy lilt to his voice as he follows her scent and seeing her he grinned, he didn't care what she was wearing to him she was always beautiful

Tinania looks over at him smiling "Hey love what's the bag?" she places the papers down then turns to look at him arching a brow.

"Something I told you I would bring you" Surion says putting the bag down with a resounding thud and leaning over kissing her cheek softly

Tinania giggles then crawls over the couch "Those are my gifts? You have to be kidding me.." her wings flutter as she looks down at the bag then back at him.

"Do I kid about gifts?" he chuckles and sits beside her not letting her into the bag, he wanted to play gift-giver. He reached into the bag "These are all things from the cliffs" he says as he pulls out a pair of golden bracelets each proudly displaying a blood ruby "Granma says they were worn by Visha when she was on this plain many many years ago"

Tinania gasps looking down at the bracelets, she takes them into her hand looking at the blood rubies then places them onto her wrist "Aww these are awesome Sur..." her wings were fluttering real fast from being happy.

Surion smiles "I'm glad you like them, Granma picked them mainly, she wanted you to have something that was very much of my father's people..." he says before turning to the bag again and slowly one by one pulling out books, old ones by the looks of it, or at least well-used. After the pile was complete, it wasn't really tall but the books weren't thin either he spoke "These are courtesy of Vina, my eldest sister, I don't know if you'll find much use for them. They are healing in the Dragonic way, Vina says a lot of the plants and stuff called for are only found near the cliffs...."

Tinania eyes widen as she looked at each of the books, everything in them was brand new to her. Laughing she holds one close to her "Oh thank you Surion, your sister so sweet to give these to me.."

"Be warned Nani their idea of healing is very old fashioned, I actually healed someone while I was there that the healers had been treating for several days and he looked horrible" Surion tells her

Tinania nods then smiles "Sometimes ifs often a good thing to go back to the old ways when you can't figure things out. But I'll keep that in mind..." she places the books all onto the coffee table then curls up next to him "Thank you from the bottom of my heart.."

"I have one more thing for you" he says as she curls up next to him and he purrs softly, he saved this for last cause to him it was the most special of the items he had brought back from the cliffs

Tinania arches a brow then looks at him "Surion you didn't have to get all these gifts for me.." she kisses his cheek then giggles "Oh that reminds me I still have something for you.."

Surion smiles "I know I didn't have to, but I wanted to" he says as he reaches into the bag once more "You do? Would you like your last gift before or after?"

Tinania thinks then gets up "I'll be right back.." she turns racing up the steps two at a time. Reaching her room she steps in looking around "Where did I put it..." she thinks then smiles walking over to her closet.

Opening it she reaches up pulling a big red bag out. Looking in it she smiles then closes it back up as she heads back downstairs jumping the last five step. Smiling at him she curls back up next to him giggling holding the bag out to him.

Surion smiles and reaches taking it from her "What did you get" he asks with a chuckle patting the couch beside him once more

Tinania smiles then shrugs "I meant to give it to you when you were a kid, but I got busy and sort of forgot about it. I know it might be silly now. But I figure you still might want it." she opens the bag pulling the plushie out.

Surion took one look at the plushie and grinned from ear to ear "That is cute" he says with a laugh "And I have just the place for it... course Tez might not like to be ousted but he can find another place to 'roost' "

Tinania blushes then smiles "I have one also, as does Aylana. Mum got them for us, so I turned around and bought one for you and Mein. I still have to give him his." she places her hands in her lap laughing "Oh where you plan on placing the plushie?"

"Atop the shelves where he can look out over the whole room" he says with a grin before setting the plushie on the floor beside them "Now this is something special..." he says and reaches and pulls out a rather distinct red and black folded pile of fabric handing it to her

Arching a brow she unfolds the blanket then gasp "Surion isn't this yours?" she looks up at him rather confused as to why he was giving her his blanket.

"No, it's not, mine's at home... this is yours, it's from Visha I only know of four of them that have ever been made by her hand." He says softly watching her reactions

Tinania jaw dropped as she looked at the blanket then back to him "This is from Visha herself?" she squeals hugging him kissing him lightly "Oh Surion thank you!!" she giggles wrapping the blanket around her body.

Surion smiles widely purring loudly very happy she liked this part of the gift. "I always found mine to be the softest blanket I've ever had, as well as giving off a sense of peace that has more then once cheered me up... and helped me sleep"

Tinania smiles then holds the blanket close to her body, she indeed did feel very peaceful in it "This is so perfect Surion. I love it, I love all my gifts.." she looks at him smiling "Thank you so very much.. You spoil me like crazy you know that..."

"My dad says that's something I should not be ashamed of doing" he says and reached pulling her closer to him and wrapping his arm around her kissing her softly

Tinania smiles returning his kiss, her finger running along his cheek before she pulls away "I would indeed have to agree with your father.."

Surion smiles nuzzling her finger. "I'm glad cause I enjoy doing it" he says happily

Tinania giggles then moves to sit in his lap the blanket still around her body "How did I get lucky to start dating you?"

"You accepted the fact that I love you?" he asks with a laugh wrapping his arms around her and looking into her eyes

Tinania giggles then kisses his lips lightly "Yup, tell you the truth I really had thought you just had a kid crush on me. I figure once you grew you find someone else to like.." she runs her finger over his bottom lip "I'm glad you didn't.."

Surion kisses her finger "I don't go back on what I say" he winks pulling her closer to him

Tinania laughs then rest her head on his shoulder smiling "That is why I'm glad..." she runs her finger over his necklace happy to be in his arms and taking a break from grading papers.

Surion purrs holding her loving the feeling of the moment. He looks down feeling her finger run over the chain of the pendant "You are special" he whispers

Tinania looks at him then blushes shaking her head "Am not.. I'm just me..." she pokes his nose laughing alittle.

"And you are special... and cute when you blush" he wings and leans closer kissing her softly

Tinania returns the kiss wrapping her arms around his neck, her fingers running though his hair lightly.

Surion purrs and kisses her softly, he wasn't worried about her getting too close to his horns, he had taken his brother's mixture that completely dulled the senses of his horns.

Tinania breaks the kiss off only to catch her breath as she looks his face over, her fingers running along his cheek then down to his jaw. "Your a hottie, you know that?"

Surion blushes softly at her compliment "Thankyou, but you are more-so" he purrs nuzzling into her hand

Tinania laughs then wrinkles her nose "Am not...as I said I'm just me.." she kisses his lips lightly then rest back against him closing her eyes.

"And just you is a very special beautiful young woman" Surion argues back to her, and teasingly he sticks his tongue out "And that is cause I said so so there"

Tinania giggles then tilts her head back laying it on his shoulder "I have so much work. I'm not even sure if I'm going to be able to do it all. And Justin...." she groans glaring at her work.

"He a bloody stupid, I want to kick him sometimes." she pauses then looks up at him "Oh Anila misses her daddy. She was asking about where you were.." she smiles then kisses his cheek.

Surion blushes, he still had a hard time believing the little Pae called him daddy "Uhm well you know where I am... you can tell her" he says

Tinania giggles, she loved making him blush. Turning alittle she runs her finger along his bottom lip "Yea I know, but then I have a feeling she would want me to take her to see you. I don't know what you did, but she likes you." she leans in brushing her lips against his lightly.

"Probably just be myself, besides she knows I love you and you love me" he says and scratches his scalp and then kisses her purring softly

Tinania smiles against his lips then pulls awhile blushing "Is it a bad thing to say your so tempting right now?" she runs her fingers lightly over his neck watching his eyes.

"Am I now" Surion chuckles softly reaching and taking hold of her moving hand holding it close "and why would that be" he teases

Tinania blushes then tilts her head "Because lately I've wanted nothing then crawl into bed with you. Specially after I couldn't see you, or the fact that I'm so busy." she looks downs blushes even more "Okay I'll keep quiet now.."

Surion chuckles and leans closer kissing her cheek and the top of her neck before whispering "So very adorable and hot when you blush"

Tinania shivers closing her eyes "Your hot Surion, and your lucky I'm not trying to remove your clothes. Because for some reason I have a feeling you wouldn't be able to stop me.." she looks up her eyes had darken alittle almost a emerald green color.

"Who is to say I would try... I've told you before Nani, when you feel you are ready..." Surion purrs kissing along her neck happily

Tinania moans slightly her nails digging into his shirt alittle. That was not what she to hear, yet at the same time something in her demanded she follow though with it. Pulling back her eyes darken even more as she breathed alittle harder "Surion..."

"Yes Nani?" he asks her softly pausing his actions

Tinania bites her bottom lip then pulls away "I need to cool off..." she quickly move towards the door. She didn't care that it was snowing.

Opening the door she steps out into the icy wind instantly wrapping her arms around her waist. She stood there wishing her body would cool down faster.

Surion watched her leave and then stands and follows her stopping a few feet away "brrr, Nani, please don't get yourself sick again" he prayed to Visha she wouldn't...

Tinania looked up at him biting her bottom lip, she stepped closer to him touching his cheek "What color are my eyes Surion?" they had turned back to there normal color of aqua blue, but she wanted to make sure.

"A very beautiful shade of aqua, like the color of the water and the sky. A pool of perfection held within each of your eyes. " he purrs running his fingers along her cheek and his thumb along the cheekbone under her eye

Tinania blushes wrapping her arms around his waist, she buried her face in his shirt before looking up "Okay that all I needed to know." she shivers alittle then kisses his chin "We can go back in if you like..."

"I would, I don't want you to be sick... not like last time you were" he says softly and leads her back into the house and closing the door. He holds her close to warm her cool skin off

Tinania smiles laying her head against his shirt "Sorry, I needed to cool off. That was the quickest way. I'm not if I like how react when my eyes are emerald green. It seems the cold stops whatever is going on inside." she looks up at him running her finger along his bottom lip.

Surion nods and kisses her finger softly "I'll remember that" he purrs and leans in kissing her softly

Tinania smiles against his lips wrapping her arms around his neck. She ran her hand though his hair before pulling back "The imp inside me is growing stronger Surion..."

Surion nods "I'll trust you on that since I can't testify to it... But I believe you are stronger"

Tinania smiles then lays her head on his shoulder kissing his neck. She keeps quiet just thinking. She knew of a potion, but she also new she couldn't find all the items needed for it.

Surion purrs "Shall we go sit down again love?" he asks in the mood to cuddle with her

Tinania looks at him then nods, she pulls him back towards the couch. She was sure she could control herself. If not she was just going to stay outside in the snow.

Surion chuckles and grabs the blanket laying it over both of them as they sat back down. "Now you know what I got myself in trouble by going to get" he purrs

Tinania giggles nodding "Yea and I love the gifts, but it wasn't worth getting grounded. Not even for me Sur..." she runs her finger over his cheek.

"You Nani... are worth anything... and you cannot convince me otherwise" he grins staring into her eyes

Tinania blushes then wrinkles her nose before leaning in brushing her lips against his lightly before pressing them against his lips. She loves that fact he willing to get in trouble for her, for some reason it made her want him more.

Surion chuckles loving her expressions, not to mention her kisses and he didn't hesitate to hold her very close his fingers playing with her hair

Tinania bites his bottom lip alittle as she runs her hand though his hair. She pulls away only for a moment looking into his eyes as she ran her finger's over his cheek. She was glad that she was his. "I love you..."

"I love you too Nani, and I'm glad you were not taken by the time I became a teen" he whispers looking right back into her eyes

Tinania smiles before laying her head back down on his chest. "As am I Surion." she closes her eyes listening to his heart beat as she made an heart along his stomach.

Surion purrs resting his hand on her back contently, there was absolutely nothing about his life just then that he would change and he'd freely admit that to anyone

Tinania shifted alittle so that she was more comfortable, she laid her hand on his stomach then smiles "I could get use to this you know that?" she looks up at him giggling.

"That would suit me find if you did, cause I could too..." he purrs softly closing his eyes relaxing

Tinania lays her head back on his chest. She listens to him purring almost wishing she could do that. Sitting up she runs a finger over his bottom lip "How do you do that?"

Surion opens his eyes and blinks "Do what?" he asks not realizing what she meant

Tinania giggles then pokes his nose "The purring, how do you do that?" she tilts her head her hair falling alittle into her face.

Surion blinks, he's never really thought about it "I don't honestly know, I just feel content and let it happen"

Tinania wrinkles her nose up then shrugs "Hmmm okay..." she lays her head back onto his chest. She would one day learn how to do that, for now she just listen to him purr.

Surion chuckles softly and then closes his eyes once more to relax with her

Tinania hums softly holding him close. She knew she should get back to working but she would have rather been laying in his arms. She turns her face kissing his chest then smiles closing her eyes going back to her humming.

Surion purrs quiet just a little and he listens to her hum softly and holds her close

Tinania couldn't help herself she turns her head again biting at his chest lightly. Her hands pushing his shirt apart alittle to runs her fingers along his skin.

Surion was surprised by the bite and his eyes opened quickly and he watched her as she moved

Tinania decide she didn't want to just cuddle anymore. Pulling his shirt apart she bites at his chest again her nails running lightly over his skin.

Surion growls softly he tried to catch a glimpse at the color of her eyes

Tinania smiles hearing the growl which only pushed her to want to tease him more. She runs her nails back up his chest as she leaned up, she looked up at him a moment.

Her eyes had darken slightly, she licks her bottom lip then leans in biting his neck as she moved to sit right on his lap. Her nails running down his sides now.

"You seem to be having fun" he muses softly and tips his head slightly as she bites his neck

Tinania giggles then bites at his neck lightly "And your not?" she runs her nails down to his stomach over the button of his pants. She moves just alittle in his lap, yea she let the imp in her take over, but she didn't know it.

"I didn't say that" he replies wrapping his arms lightly around her waist keeping his mind on just how imp she was getting

Tinania kisses his neck then moves down to kiss his collar bone as she tries to undo the button on his pants "That good..." pushing the zipper down she runs her fingers lightly over the skin that is exposed to his as she pulls at the hem of his boxers.

Surion's hands move to take hold of hers "My Nani is rather impy" he chuckles softly

Nani looked up at him, her eyes glowing slightly the dark emerald green as she nods "Yes I am. What don't like me when I am?" she tries to pulls her hands from his as she rocks her hips just alittle against his.

"I didn't say that, you simply told me to get you with water when you get like this, so I want to be sure you know you are" he purrs and looks at her

Tinania arched a brow then leaning in she bites at his ear lightly "There no need for that love. I know you will like what I want to do.." she tries again to pull her hands free.

Surion chuckles softly and pulls her hands around his waist before he lets go and loops his arms around her waist under her arms with his hands under her bottom to hold her as he moved to stand up... carrying her as he did

Tinania gasps then arches a brow looking at him. Shrugging she leans back in nibbling on neck lightly "Where you taking us Surion?"

"For me to know and you to find out" he purrs and tips his head into her neck nipping at her neck softly with his sharp teeth

Tinania shivers which only causes the imp inside her to get more bold. Her nails dug into his waist as she moves to kiss at his shoulder then bite lightly. She tried to wiggle out of his arms so she could pin him anywhere and tease him the way she wished.

Surion walks carrying her, he felt her wiggling and held her firmly his tail looping around them to hold her more, he wanted to make sure she was acting of her choice, not of the imp's. It didn't take long for him to reach the front door and pull it open with one hand before stepping into the cool air

Tinania gasps then shivered when she felt the cold air, She seem to freeze in his arms wrapping her arms around his waist pulling her body closer to his.

Her face was hidden in his chest as her wings fluttered alittle. Her teeth clicked against each other as she spoke softly "Surion its cold..." she looked up at him her eyes were already returning to their normal color.

"I know love, you told me this was the fastest way to cool off" he says softly, holding her close against him for warmth, he waited till he saw her eyes normal before stepping back inside

Tinania blushes even in the cool air hiding her face again, she didn't want to think about what she had just done. The imp inside her had gotten free again and she knew it.

Looking back up at Surion, her eyes had gone back to aqua blue. She looks away feeling stupid and wanted to hide in her room for the way she acted.

Surion closes the door and using the free hand reaches to her chin turning her face back "I love you Nani, I want to make sure the choice is yours and not the imp inside's, I love the attention, and I love the feelings inside I get being near you both this way and with the imp around, but... in the end I want to be sure it's you who makes the decision when you are ready" he tells her softly and lovingly

Nani smiles then wraps leans in kissing him lightly "I know Surion. I'm so scared I'm going to cause you to run away. This imp is not easy to control. More so she worse when your around..." she pulls back running her fingers along his cheek. "I feel that this imp going to do something bad..."

"If I was going to run away I would have done it a long time ago, this is the fourth time I've seen signs of the Imp so far" he purrs softly nuzzling against her fingers

Tinania bites her bottom lip speaking to herself softly in elven "God help me if the imp decide to presue someone else...." she ran her finger over his bottom lip "I need to learn to control the imp, otherwise I don't think you'll be able to stop her..."

"I wish you the best of luck in learning that, I went to my brother for help with surpressing the urge, dad said he knew how so I went to him... I want it to be your choice, I am content to be patient as long as you are wanting to wait" he kisses her finger softly

Tinania smiles then kisses this cheek before leaning up to whisper softly in his ear "Well if it make you blush so be it. But part of me just a few minutes did want to just have you right there..."

Surion chuckles softly "That doesn't surprise me" he purrs carrying her towards the living room once more the tips of his ears red

Tinania giggles kissing the tip of his ears then arched a brow watching him "And why doesn't that surprise you?"

"Oh the fact you were pulling on my boxers" he smirks softly and moves to set her down beside the couch

Tinania blushes then hides her face with her hands "Oh god I'm sorry..." she shook her head to also hide behind her hair. She really was blushing now.

Surion chuckles and does his pants back up and then pushes her hair from her face kissing her warm cheeks "It's why I decided to make sure you were making the choice..."

Tinania doesn't look up at him as she tries to stop the blushing, she couldn't say anything, and she didn't know what to say.

"So cute when you blush" he purrs kissing her softly enjoying the feeling of her soft skin under his lips

Tinania giggles against his lips running her hand over his neck. She loved that he could always make her smile no matter what.

"Well it's true, you are so very cute when you blush, and there's no arguing that point" he says and pulls away slightly and kisses the tip of her nose

Tinania smiles then wrinkles her nose at him "I wasn't playing to. I gave up on arguing with you that I'm cute when I blush." she runs her fingers lightly over his neck "I love you.."

"I love you to Nani... please let me know if you need to get back to work, I do not wish to cause you to not get done what you need to" he tells her softly

Tinania looks at her work then frowns. She really did need to get back to work but she wanted to stay there in his arm. She looked down not saying anything.

Surion bites his lip lightly for a moment "Nani, I love you please be happy?" he asks her wanting her to look up at him on her own

Tinania looked up at him, her eyes held a mixture of sadness and happiness. "I will be happy again Surion. When I'm able to fully be with you again..." she ran her finger along his cheek.

"You always are... right here" he taps his heart "As I am with you here" he tells her softly tapping her chest "You know where I am, and you know how to contact me too, I've pretty much inherited mum's cell, she uses dad's when she needs one"

Tinania tries to giggle but it just didn't seem right "I know, but its not the same. You know that..." she sighs then pulls at his tail alittle to get free.

Surion sighs softly and lets her go and nods

Tinania didn't know what to say, if she could just quit she would have. Taking Surion's hand in her she pulled it up to her lips and kissed each finger, she was trying hard not to show her sadness.

Surion smiles softly "I love you Nani" he says and his free hand and runs his fingers softly through her hair

Tinania smiles then nods looking up at him. Her eyes were glistening but it didn't matter to her. "I love you too Surion. More then anything else.." she turns away from him refusing to cry again. That the last thing she want Surion to see.

"My love for you will never change no matter how much time we get together" he says softly feeling helpless in her sadness

Tinania bites her bottom lip hard, enough to draw blood. She was trying to keep under control. "I know Surion..." her voice came out weak and very soft. What she wanted to do was ask him to stay.

"Nani?... look at me? please?" he didn't like it when she felt so sad she felt she couldn't look at him

Tinania looks at him wiping the blood from her lip. She laughs alittle a few tears falling "God I feel so stupid Surion. I know you'll still be here when this is all done. But I can't help it." she looks back down at the ground her shoulder's shaking.

"I wanna ask you to stay, just for the night but I know you have things you'll probably have to do..." she looks back up at him biting her bottom lip again.

"Oh Nani, you have no reason to feel stupid, you are one of the smartest people I know" he tips her chin up to look at him once more and leans in kissing her with a kiss full of all the love he felt for her

Tinania returns the kiss wrapping her arms around his neck. Her body pressed extremely close to his. Pulling away she looks into his eyes "If you don't leave, I'm not going to let you Surion. I want you to stay here with me..."

"I have a feeling you won't get any work done if I stay here" he chuckles softly and kisses her once more before reaching up to her hands to unhook her from his neck

Tinania actually whimpers when he unhooks her hands from around his neck. She tries to re-hook them around his neck "Is that a bad thing?"

"If you have to get work done then yes it is, I don't want you to get in trouble on my account" he says softly just holding her hands behind his neck where she re-hooked herself

Tinania frowns then with a sigh lets her hands fall from his neck "Bloody work, I wish I didn't work half the time. I be having fun with you..." she wraps her arms around her waist looking very much like a child who just didn't get there way.

Surion sighs "You love your job Nani, I've heard you talk about it before with great pride in your voice, the same way I talk to my father about my hunt. It's important to do the things that we are responsible for... If it makes you feel better we can get together again tomorrow" he hoped it did make her feel better as he runs the backs of his fingers along her cheek

Tinania eyes brighten alittle as she looked up at him, her hand moved to rest against his "Promise. I'll be able to see you tomorrow?"

Surion smiles and nods "Yes... I promise" he purrs seeing her eyes brighten

Tinania smiles then nods turning to kiss his palm "Okay then, I'll get all my work done extra early so I can spend as much time as I can with you.."

Surion smiles and nods "I love you Nani, with all that I am, please be happy for me"

Tinania nods running her finger along his cheek before leaning in inches from his lips "I promise I'll stay happy, when I get sad I'll just think of you..." she brushes her lips lightly against his.

Surion purrs and kisses her then pulls away "Just wrap yourself in the blanket, it does wonders in calming" he chuckles "But I will see you tomorrow..."

Tinania looks at then blanket then back to him nodding "Okay. I love you Surion..." she steps close to him wrapping her arms around him to hold him one last time.

Surion wraps her up in his arms and gives her a big hug then slowly disconnects her "Till tomorrow then"

Tinania nods then giggles tilting her head to the side as she grabs up the blanket wrapping it around her shoulder "Yes until then."

Surion kisses a finger and touches her lips then scoops up his bag "Love you Nani" he says and then heads for the door

Tinania watches him then touches her bottom lip. Looking at her work she shakes her head as she takes a seat back on the couch.

She sat there for a moment before picking up the red pen once more and goes back to grading paper. She seems more happier as she kept the blanket wrapped close to her body.

Surion's Scribbles

Dear Journal

I think that went well, she didn't want me to leave though, which is a lil sad... I hope the books are of any use to her, the bracelets are nice I will admit, but I do have to say I think I liked giving her the blanket the most out of it all. To me that was the specialest item... I hope she enjoys it

christmas with the darkangels/slytherin-natenhars

Krista DarkAngel Silme

The sun had nearly set as the snow continued to fall over over the land, sounds of music could be heard from a huge tent that had been set up near the home. It was the night on Christmas day and everything seem perfect, the families were all gathered to celebrate this joyful hoilday.

Inside was more beautiful then the outside. It had been lit by fairy light thanks to the fairies Tinania had invited. In the middle of the tent was a fifthteen foot tree that sparkled from every angle as the lights seem to dance to the music playing. Each ornament was unique and some were even of the people within this huge family. On the top was a glowing silver angel that seem to watch over them all as the party went on. Under the tree the presents that went on forever.

Each present was wrapped in elaborate paper, some were small and some seem to be to big to move. Along the right side of the tent was a long table filled with treats. Cookies of different kinds, turkey, ham, lasagna, wines, cakes. It was a feast fit for the kings.

~~~~~~~~

Krista was laying her head on Rinon's chest keeping quiet as she watched the family. Its was the first time in the longest time that everyone was gathered in the same spot. And for this is why she loved this hoilday, she looks at Rinon smiling before looking up as she heard giggling.

Drac, Ren, Diana and Tinania were all gathered together near the christmas tree trying to see what everything was. Nani was holding her youngest child Anila who was trying hard to get free so she could go play with the presents.

Comos and Kaelin were for once talking, but it was about this hoilday that seem to make their caretakers act very strange. You would have never guess that they never got along the way they were acting at this point.

Michelle the newest child in the family was sitting by the tree. Every once in awhile she would look around before picking a gift up and shaking it. Leave it to a child of eleven to be curious.

~~~~~~~~~

Krista shook her head as she heard her sisters voice "Hey Kris, you okay sis?" Mel looked at her slightly confused. She had for once decided to be normal and dress up. More for Lenore's sake. She was in a long dark red silk gown with matching red elven slippers. Her hair was down for once which still shocked her sister. Its also had a sprig of mistletoe right above her right ear.

Krista nods smiling "Yea I'm fine now, I was just thinking thats all." she blushes then brushes her hands on her along her dark blue gown "I was just off in my own world..." to tell the truth she was thinking the family was missing someone, but she had learned not to bring it up, not to hurt her sister.

The music continues to plays and Mel smiles then turns to rest her head on Lenore's shoulder. She had a feeling she knew what was bugging her sister, but didn't wish to bring it up. She just wanted to enjoy the night.

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Lenore places a hand on the small of Melantha's back, resting her cheek on Mel's head. Her eyes hold a hint of sadness, though, even with the happy smile plastered on her lips.

This time of year is supposed to be about family. Even if she hates the bloody holiday, she still wishes that Damien's mum were around, to see him.

She watches him, as he ignores Nani, and talks to Lucius over by the buffet. The sound of his laughter makes her smile even wider, though.

Her eyes scan the tent for more people. Katharina is off on her own, listening to her headphones, and trying to get Bellatrix to stop tugging at her flame-red hair.

Ernia is sticking close to her mum, Nyoka, who is talking to Aylana close by the tree.

Rinon is with his wife, holding her close to him. The sight of this makes her hold Mel a little closer, as well.

Ximena, festive in a purple, naughty Mrs. Clause outfit, is tending to Alasseo, making sure that the frail elf has everything that she needs.

She sighs, contentedly as possible. This is all she wanted, for the whole family to be here.

All she wanted for Christmas. But, they are still a few people shy. . . .

"I'm going to go get something to drink," she tells Melantha. "I'll pick you up some wine while I am at the table," she adds. She kisses her, briefly, and playfully flicks the mistletoe, before going over to the table.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala stood looking happily around the tent, she was blissfully unaware of the missed people, well ok she knew of one, but she'd never met her so it didn't make that much of an effect on her, there was already more new faces there then she had ever met at once before. Dressed for once in a dress, an oriental dress, she sits just to one side of her friends, she eyes the members of her own family who were there, particularly her husband who looked somewhat perplexed at the whole idea of christmas. She was proud of all she had helped Krista prepare

Surion stood beside Nani one arm around her waist "All this is truely something I've never seen before.. and this is celebrated every year?" he asks

Aylana stands with Nyoka her long hair tied back elegantly and she wore a festive but black dress

Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar

Bring out your dead,
lay them long, lay them low.
Bring out your dead,
here we go, soft and slow.

She cannot help but hum a part of one of the many tunes, if they could be called such, that she had endured during the last few months from that detestable woman within the confines of the celestial tree she had stumbled into helping create. 'That's the last time I try to interfere with nature magic,' she grumbles in her head, hearing a soft ressonance of agreement from the large jaguar padding less than two feet from her right side. Her rash actions had caused more grief for those that now traveled with her than she wished she could remember. If not for the fact that it would only make things far worse in the end, she would ask... no, beg... for Eilistraee to take all memory of her from this world and take her home where she would cause no further damage.

'Yeah, like that would solve anything,' the old familiar voice comments in the grousing moon elf's mind. 'You would slowly wither into nothing without your family, and no matter what your goddess willed, Lenore would remember you. We both know that. What of Shina? She's nearly died twice bec...' The shadowdancer visibly winces, and the Shadowkin swiftly changes the subject. 'Itzel could not survive without me, and where you go, I follow. No, we stay.'

'I don't suppose that Lucius would have anything to do with that, would it?' Ahlian cuts into the mental conversation, 'Do stop reciting the obvious, Alimus. She knows we aren't going anywhere but home. Rubbing it in doesn't help matters.'

The soft sound of sweeping wings overhead alerts all three conversationalists at once. Elf, Shadowkin, and Doggin watch in silence as the majestic forms of Shina and Vinyn pass over them, the two sisters matching one anothers pace as they start to get ahead of those on foot. Eirnae simply smiles at the sight, though the corners of her mouth tighten to show where her true thoughts reside. How could she ever make this all up to her family? A vision of Lenore smiling in her arms fills her vision for a pleasant moment, the two of them surrounded by their loved ones.

A light touch on her arm brings her back to reality, as her once near twin that is her adopted daughter, Arlath, quietly points out the lights from something large in the distance. She nods to Arlath's inquiring look, and the gathering of those once long asleep starts toward the tent full of party goers at a renewed pace.

Krista DarkAngel Silme

Mel simply nods watching Lenore walk away from her. Brushing her bangs from her face she frowns. This was somethings she would indeed have to get use to. She was half tempted to braid it but knew better not to. She turns to Ala placing a hand on her shoulder "You and my sister did an amazing job. I have never seen such a grander party then this one."

Krista laughs then shakes her head pushing her pale orange hair from face. She looks up at Rinon running a finger along his bottom lip "Enjoying the party?"

Tinania leans in brushing her lips against Surion's cheek "Yup, see I told you this was a great hoilday. It brings everyone together." she winces when Anila pokes at her neck "Okay okay Ani I'll place you down." she bends foward alittle placing Anila down. The little pae instantly runs over and wraps her arms around Kaelin and Comos's legs.

Boths pae glared at the child before just laughing as they kneel down to hug the younger child. That only made Tinania giggle as she leaned closer to Surion.

Ren and Drac were still deep in discussion talking about what they believe that had gotten. Every once in awhile Ren would glance over toward Ernia trying to get her friend to join them.

Michelle had finally stopped looking though the gifts as she stood to heading to the buffet table. She looked at all the food licking her lips. Reaching up she grabbed herself a cookie taking a bite from it.

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Lenore looks at all the food that she cannot eat. For once, she does not frown. She's over her ache for tea, and cookies. Musketeer bars, and fruits of all shapes.

She puts her palms on the table, and leans on them. She blows her bangs out of her eye, only to have them cover it once more. She looks out at the sky, and smiles. Reaching up, she pulls the dark glasses from her eyes. Her eyes sting a little in the remaining light, but she is used to it by now.

She then goes about getting her and Mel's drinks.

Rinon is pulled from his thoughts, and his starry, night blue eyes move to Krista's. "Of course," he replies, smiling now. "I am with my family. What more can be better?" he asks.

"Want food," Bellatrix tells Katharina. The girl rolls her gray eyes, and sighs. The only reason she is tolerating the pae is because Lenore asked her to.

And, she only respects Lenore because of who her father is. . . .

So, she gets up, taking Bellatrix's hand, and steers her toward the buffet.

Ernia finally catches Ren's eye, and excuses herself from the conversation her mum and Aylana are holding. She slips away without much notice.

Hello, Ernia signs, inclining her head a little. Of course she is dressed to the nines, a sparking silver dress in her usual fashion, with matching stiletto heels. Her crown is on her head, and she is glittering with various, amethyst-encrusted bits of jewelry. She smiles at Ren, now, and holds her arms out for a hug.

Lucius and Damien are putting there heads together at another table, now, glancing at Mel and Lenore as they talk in low voices.

Ximena makes her way toward her brother, and her sisters-in-law, and Ala. "Hey," she says, for once without a cigarette in her mouth. She does have a glass of bourbon in her hand, though. "Nice digs," she adds, pushing her long hair behind her shoulder. "I love how everything turned out. And, thank you, whoever got the liquoir. I don't think I could deal with this much family without something to boost my spirits." She jokes.

Rinon rolls his eyes a little, in a good-natured fashion. "Don't listen to her, she loves this sort of thing. . . ."

Ximene merely narrows her purple eyes at Rinon, before shrugging and grinning again.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala smiled "Thanks Mel" she too is proud of the work she has done with Krista. She blinks having gotten used to the scents of all the people there she picks up more her eyes though not her head look towards the side of the tent where the main opening is

Surion wraps his arms around her waist kissing her cheek softly "Love you Nani, I'm glad to be here with you for this"

Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar

The grey winged Fa'e, Shina, and her Crystaelis sister, Vinyn, alter their course into a slow loop. The latter calls upon the wind to power both of the women's already pumping wings to keep them aloft and hovering as Shina calls down to the still walking Eirnae, "Mother, please convey my love to everyone for me. Vinyn and I are going to the manor to collect a few things before we brave the tent."

Eirnae looks up to smile at her eldest, quietly admiring her daughter's inner strength for a long seeming second before she nods in agreement. "They will wish that you came with me directly, Shina and Vinyn, but if they've waited this long... they can wait a short while longer."

Vinyn twists her lips into a faint smile, but the echo of grief of the time that's been lost is reflected on the young Crystaelis' face, as it is on all that move towards the glimmering lights in the distance. Shina's smile is only a bit brighter as she flaps her mighty wings to turn herself around in Vinyn's warm drafts, the two sisters gaining altitude as they head in the direction of the far side of the large manor that sits forbodingly in the semi-dark of the evening.

Such reminds Eirnae of something she feels must be done, and so she adds a bit of speed to her steps for a bit before turning to address those who are with her. What is said is soft, but with authority, and the meaning isn't hard to guess when all but Eirnae herself gather into groups of two and scatter into the surrounding woods. Now alone, and with a determined glint in her sea green eyes, the shadowdancer runs to the nearest shadow and seems to leap into it.

~~~~~~~~~~

Not much concentration is required for her to go from shadow to shadow, seeking out the sight of Lenore amongst those who are reveling at the party. So many faces that she doesn't know are here, and her curiousity tugs at her insides, but her true goal keeps her grounded, even when she spots folk who are dear to her, memories of sisterhood and friendship filtering past her sense of guilt like sunshine into a cold room.

Then she catches the sway of bright green as the sound of a forceful breath touches her ears. She almost laughs at how close that rush of air had been to her cheek, she'd gotten so close to the source. 'Always under your nose...,' she reminds herself as she adds a couple of feet of distance between her and her intended target, letting the shadows slide from her leathered form slowly as she whispers in elven, "Mela..."

Krista DarkAngel Silme

Krista nods to Xim arching a brow before she laughs as she leans up to Rinon to kiss him, but she stopped when she saw the black clothing, then the hair, she knew that color way to well. She steps away from Rinon watching it until it steps up to Lenore. It was when she heard the voice that her knees gave way out from under her and she hit the ground. Her hands were on the ground as she just watched. She shook her head also speaking in elven loud enough in hopes of catching the person attention "Is it really you?"

Mel smiles to Xim then turns as she heard her sister hit the ground. She turns wondering what had cause it, thats when she looked up seeing Lenore with the person she knew from the only picture she ever seen in Krista's part of the home. She stood there as sadness filled her eyes, but she quickly hides it as she removes all emotions from her face just watching. She didn't move nor did she speak.

Tinania giggles curling close to Surion then gasps seeing her mother hit the ground. She pulls from Surion running to her mother "Mum you okay?" she place her hand on her mother's shoulder worried about her.

Ren walks into Ernia's arms giving her friend a warm hug. She pulls away then sniffs the air before turning, its was a familar scent but she couldn't place it. She looks around then her eyes widen as she saw who it was. She hadn't seen her since she was young.

Drac was already staring her tail flicking across the ground, was it really the woman who she always heard her mother talking about. Diana was looking at both of her sister really confused.

Michelle had by then rushed back over to sit with the pae'il, they were all now sitting there looking around at the presents. Giggling without a care in the world. Nor did they know what was going on.

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

It is the smell that gets to her first. Vanilla, leather . . . mint. . . . Her head snaps up, and her eyes fall on the ghost of her past.

She feels her heart beating, loud and fast, in her chest, and her eyes fill with blood tears. She drops the glass in her hand, letting it fall to the grass and spill all over her shoe. Her hand goes to her chest. . . .

Rinon hurries to Krista's side, glancing over at the woman who seems to have appeared from the shadows. "Krista, are you alright?" he asks, worry in his eyes as he looks back at his wife.

Ximena whistles softly, and sips at her bourbon. Her purple eyes don't leave the back of her half-sister's head as she lights a cigarette. She has a feeling she might need it. . . .

Nyoka, her brow furrowed, looks around to see what has everyone's tones so changed. The sight that she sees before her makes her eyes widen. Her jaw clenches a little, as an unexpected flare of anger ignites in her. She quickly is shaking her head, to clear it, as the shock of who she sees in front of her sinks in.

Ernia looks around when Ren pulls away, and sees a familiar woman as well. She looks at Virendra, questioningly.

Damien, on the other hand, has risen from his seat so hastily, that the chair falls back. He leaves it there, as he cannot move. He can't believe his eyes. . . . "Mum?" he asks, softly.

Lucius, too, is watching the sight before him. It isn't long before his blue eyes are scanning his surroundings. He takes this opportunity to duck out of the tent. Once outside, he sniffs the air, expirimentally.

As Damien takes a step forward, he hears Lenore asks, softly, "Eirnae?"

It is then, that she faints.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala saw the chain reaction of events almost as if it was in slow motion, she didn't know this woman at all, obviously everyone there did as she heard the echos of "Mum" and "Eirnae" move through the nearly dead silent tent. standing up her wings flared but folded against her back she walks forward after Lenore fainted "Who are you?" she asks plainly as she approaches her fainted friend, after all the eyes of the others may be imagining it's hard to say in her mind

Surion follows after Nani moving to help her mum "Who is that?" he whispers in Nani's ear after having caught sight of the newcomer

Aylana had turned at hte same time as Nyoka, and hte present she had been holding fell to her feet with an audible 'tickle' as whatever it contained shattered and she stared

Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar

For those trained to study beings of great speed, their eyes will be able to follow the outline of the darkly clad elven woman as she darts to the side a few inches, but then all sight beyond the supernatural will be lost to view her form as the darkness of the nearby table's shadow swallows her whole. In a blink, she reappears kneeling in a position that will allow her to easily catch Lenore before the vampiress is even halfway through her fall. Out of reflex she cradles the paler woman against her chest, her whole world now found in the details of the face she had feared she would never seen again.

The voices all around them interupt her reverie, and she tears her attention from Lenore's still form to look around at the fuss that she's raised. Oh hells... She really should of thought this manuever out more before executing it. She slides an arm underneath of Lenore to arrange it semi-comfortably in the nook under her knees, the other supporting Lenore's back as she carefully gets to her feet, suddenly not wanting to be on her knees in front of so many people who she has no viable explaination to offer to without sounding a fool.

She scans the visages that are turned her way, her eyes reflecting her emotional reaction to each, the majority being that of a quiet longing for words to come to her, and a warm love that she wishes she could express aptly in front of so many who vied for a meaning to this event. Finally, as her eyes settle on Damien and widen as she takes in his height, the tears come. She has to bury her face in Lenore's hair to keep from breaking out into sobs, gratefully inhaling the scent of her love's shampoo and not caring that it is now intermingled with the faint scent of death that she somehow knows will now always be there.

She regains her composure, though her cheeks glisten like rocks by a waterfall as she says in reply to all of the questions at once in an emotion wracked voice, "My name is Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar, and I am a lost star trying to return from the earth to its sky. I was taken from it unjustly, and for far too long..." She has to stop, to gather air into lungs that quiver with the effort to prevent a deep shuddering sob from escaping her lips. "I need time with Lenore. There is much I wish to say, to all of my family," Her eyes travel to each that she knows and loves, projecting a sincerity that comes to one when they are at the cutting edge of guilt and loss, "But I must say such to her first." She then waits, letting them stop her if they must, but praying with all of the faith she has retained that they will let her go and have the private discussion that she is longing for.

~~~~~~~~~~

There is a soft swish of leaves in the wind to Lucius' right, as if an animal prowls there and is undecided if what they see if worth the trouble of leaping out at it. An answering rustle of grass in the opposite direction announces that whatever the first was, it likely wasn't alone or was being stalked as well.

Of course, the loud mreowl of a war cry from a dappled youngster as she rips out of the grass confirms that both are likely true, as a ball of fur, claws, teeth, and tail collides into Lucius with a playful growl, soon joined by a larger form of sleek fur and a soft, feminine rrrumbling purr. Itzel squeals as Latria noses her flank teasingly, Zephirae and Sentinel both full of joy and thus playful at the sight of the male who Itzel lovingly calls in the language of the humans she couldn't master while a toddler, "Daa-aaddy Lucius!" as she wraps her arms around Lucius' neck and hugs him as tight as she dares without choking him.

Krista DarkAngel Silme

Krista leans against her husband as she stood, her eyes blinking rapidly as the tears fell. Long she had believe her sister and dearest friend had left them. And now standing in front of them all she wanted much to race to her and hug her never letting the woman go. She covers her mouth just locking her eyes with Eirnae's for a moment to welcome her home. She knew she would have her chance but for now she knew this is what was needed.

Tinania looked up her mouth jumping just slightly. She knew the name, glancing towards her brother then back toward the woman she just stared at her. That was Damien's second mother? That meant is was her aunt also? She shook her head watching her mother as she leaned against Surion. She was so confused and didn't know what to do at this point.

Ren looks at Ernia signing the word mother before pointing to Damien. She glances back looking around. She was curious if it meant the other child was also here. Had she grown as well? She turns only when she feels Drac hand on hers. She knew her sister could feel the confusion running though her. Diana was standing behind them both still not to sure of everything and that made her slightly scared.

Michelle looks up as well as the paeil as the woman speaks. Michelle tilts her head arching a small brow before going back to shaking the present. She was sure someone would explain later. Right now she wanted to knwo what were in her gifts.

~~~~~~

Mel steps back away from the crowd as she turned her head. No matter how hard she tried a single tear slipped down her cheek. Moving quickly she slipped from the tent as she shifted forms. Her body growing white fur as she fell to all fours. She was ready to take off running away from the manor as well as the estate when a black raven flew out of a tree landing on the ground.

The raven watches the large white cat before its form changes. It grew bigger as the wings shifted to human arms. The feather changed to long raven black hair cascading down the back. Dress in all black dark forest green eyes looked down at her. "Come on Melantha you knew it wouldn't last...."

Mel shifted back to her form choking back on a sob before falling into the woman's arms. The woman holds her close running a hand though her hair "Its okay dear come on, we should get you out of here, we still have a plan that must be worked on...what do you say..."

Mel looks up at her nodding, then buries her face back into the womans's shoulder. "Okay April." she looks back towards the tent making sure no one see them before the crack is heard as they both vanish from the outskirt of the tent.

((The rest of Mel storyline will be taking place in her journal...))

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Rinon hugs Krista closer to him, stroking her back as he does so. Over her head, he looks at this Eirnae. She has the same name as his half sister, so he has an idea of just who this elf is.

Damien's other mother.

But, he doesn't allow himself too much time to think about it. He is busy comforting Krista, trying to stem the flow of tears. He can only imagine what she is going through. By the way that Krista reacted, Eirnae and her must have been close.

Because Eirnae's sob tugged at his heart strings, and because he somehow knows, even if he has only known her for a few months, that it is what his sister would want, he nods to Eirnae. His old, wise eyes are full of nothing but understanding. He knows that Lenore would want time to compose herself. And, he doesn't think that Lenore would fall for anyone who didn't present an aura of strenght. So, Eirnae would need the time as well.

Alasseo, who had cried out when Lenore fainted, is being told by Ximena to sit back down, not to overwork herself. For once, the woman shows signs of strength. "Leave me alone," she says, as Ximena grabs her around the waist and holds her in place.

"Leave them be." Ximena says, in elven. "Leave them alone. Look at me." When their purple eyes meet, Ximena nods her head firmly. "Lenore will be fine, and she will be back in a moment. I will explain things while they are gone. With the help of anyone that wants to. Please, mother, sit."

Alasseo nods, her sad eyes turning to Lenore. She drops shakily into her seat while Ximena kneels down beside her, taking her hands in hers.

Nyoka and Damien had both rushed forward when Lenore started falling. Now, though, Damien is holding onto Nyoka. He is not as strong as her though, and he skids a little toward their mums before she stops.

Nyoka's green eyes move to look at Damien's face. She blinks when she sees tears glistening there, and he shakes his head. When his lower lip quivers and tugs at her heart, she is reminded so strongly of him as a younger boy that she gathers him to her, her initial anger forgotten completely. She is reminded of how he, too, must have mourned for a mother that wasn't dead, and how he was just better at hiding it than Lenore. She strokes his hair, before she looks at Eirnae. "Go," she says, her own voice full of emotion.

"Just, hurry back," Damien says in a soft voice, hiding his emotions and the shaking in his voice the best he can. He can't seem to say anything else, and he doesn't want to take his face out from where it is hiding in Nyoka's shoulder.

"Yes, we need to hear what you have to say, as well. . . ." Nyoka says, still stroking Damien's hair.

~*~*~***~*~*~

Lucius's knees loosen, and he rolls back onto his back. All else is forgotten when he holds his little girl in his arms. He laughs, oblivious of the emotions swirling around in the tent behind him. All he can say is, "Itzel," as he rubs his cheek against hers. He hugs her to him as tightly as she does, mindful not to hurt her.

"Daddy Lucius," he says, trying to become familiar with the name, "Has missed his little cub so very much!" He reaches out and scratches behind Latria's ears with affection, as well. "You both are sights for sore eyes," he says softly, before he scans the surrounding area.

Alimus, it follows, has to be lurking somewhere nearby. . . .

Instead, he sees Mel. He is about to call out to her, hoping to talk to her, but she is met by another, and then they both disappear. He shakes his head, a little sadly, before he turns his attention back to Itzel and Latria, and trying to keep an eye out for Alimus.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala slowly nods understanding dawning upon her as she realizes that she must be the missing member of the family, the one she'd heard about a couple times over the past year... She nods her agreement to Nyoka and Damien's telling her to go but hurry back.

Surion holds Nani close and firm, his eyes watching the elven woman holding Damien's mother. Or rather... Damien's mother holding Damien's mother... ok that concept is confusing to him, but he deals, more concerned that Nani is ok as he runs his fingers comfortingly along her back

Aylana moves to her sister's side trying to help comfort Nyoka and also Damien, Her eyes are full of concern, confusion, shock and tears... Tears that have yet to overflow and reach her cheeks as she tries to stay strong, if only to give support. She watches the pair of women, her aunts... "Yes... Hurry back, there is much to be heard and told... from all sides" she says quietly her voice filled with emotion

Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar

She opens her mouth as if to speak, to divulge some great truth from her weary and throbbing heart, but her lips close as she finds the words will not come. Nothing in any language would fully describe what she wanted to say in this moment, even if the gods handed her them enscribed on a tablet they would seem empty. Her arms full of the love of her life, whom she tucks up close to her as if she's afraid Lenore will break into a thousand pieces if she lets her fall, she feels her dry lips partially curve up in a touch of a grateful smile. She nods, hefting her welcome load as gently as possibly as she starts forward and through the throng. Her original intent had been to transport herself and Lenore through her element to another part of the forest entirely, but to look into the eyes of those gathered here reminded her that to see such a thing would be disheartening to them, especially their son.

Their son... Her shoulders shake as she passes by Nyoka, Damien, and Aylana. Her fingers twitch as she resists the urge to reach out towards her daughter, her son, and her neice. To touch them, and see if they are in any way as she remembers. Gods, that was a quiver in Damien's voice, wasn't it? Aye, that is their son, hiding his pain to the last. Nyoka, the hurt in her eyes... What would she do when Shina came back? Would all be understood? Aylana, how she had changed so in the last months. Had it been nearly a year? She senses a kinship towards the angelic Fa'e, even stronger than before, yet this time on an elemental level. She shakes it off, giving each that can see her face a final look that promises her swift return and answers before she continues walking.

She has to resist yet again as she comes near Krista and the elven gentleman who is comforting her, wanting to reach out for the woman she calls sister and reassure her that she's really here, and doesn't wish to leave. She settles for a slightly wider smile, praying that it is as comforting as she is aiming, and returning Rinon's nod gratefully. She softens the smile as she comes near Ernia and Virenda, extending such to Tinania, recognizing the brooch that she made for Tinania when she was very young indeed. So many questions...

Still she moves on, till she reaches the edge of the tent. She turns, facing everyone for several seconds that seem to crawl by. Should Lenore not receive her words well, this would be her last time seeing this side of those she calls family... for a long time, if ever. She tries not to think on that as she steps back and out of the holiday lights, feeling the reassuring cool of the darkness covering her and her cold burden, her imagining the small grove with the tree that she had been trapped by for so long and feeling her legs start to move to take them there. In the Plane of Shadow, all is murky and hazed, but instinct and practice guides her to the proper path. She slips out of the cloying wisps and makes her way to a recently shattered tree stump, the bark now dark as ebony as the moonlight shines down in the center of the grove. She shifts Lenore so her increasingly heavy body is seated on Eirnae's lap, her caressing her unconcious lover's cheek as she positions Lenore's mouth at the base of her throat, her hand then going to the bright green locks that caught her attention earlier in the evening to stroke at them lovingly.

"Wake up, melamin," she murmurs into Lenore's right ear, daring the barest of nibbles along the edge, "We have much to talk about, you and I."

~~~~~~~~~~

"Daddy Lucius missed Itzel?" the little Zephirae purrs as she nuzzles into his cheek rub affectionately. "Daddy Alimus said when come back, make home again!" she announces with pride, apparently quite pleased with her newfound 'mastery' of the human language. "You make home, Daddy Lucius? Daddy Alimus say not home without."

Latria isn't quite ready to lapse into conversation, skittering around the two nuzzlers like a kitten trying to evoke a stuffed mouse to chase it. She does pause at the scritch behind her ears, leaning in and purring her delight, but soon she's at her circling again.

Off to the side, a large yet sleek furred leg slides with little sound from between two bushes, the fur on that limb rippling like water, as if unsure of what pattern or shape it truly wishes to hold. After a few moments, it is joined by another, yet the head that comes out and over the crest of the bushes is that of an elven man. His eyes are fathomless with their black depths, eerily alien to many, but a familiar comfort to those who know of the warm heart within the mottled dark grey cage of flesh wrapped over it protectively. Alimus's paws shift to become the hands that he oft takes while in his favorite of elven forms, though he stalks from the bushes on all fours anyway, curling his legs underneath him as he moves to sit down by the motley crew. "She's right in that," he rumbles, his voice soft and husky as he looks down at the tender scene of his cub... no, their cub... reciting his own statements to Lucius with a half smile. "It won't be home without you."

Krista DarkAngel Silme

Krista watches as her sisters disappears then turns her face back into Rinon's chest. She couldn't shake the feeling that she had seen a ghost. Yet she knew it was much real. She laughs alittle then wipes the tears from her eyes as she looks up at Rinon "That indeed would have been the best christmas gift for this family..." she then pauses looking around. Her sky blue eyes searching for her twin, it was only when she found the mistletoe that was in Mel's hair she figured it out. She frowns shaking her head as she covered her mouth. Bending down she picks up the mistletoe then turns to Rinon "Mel..." her face show sadness and anger at herself for not remembering.

Virendra nods then turns back to her sister and bestfriend signing "Come on this is a party. I don't think Aunt Eirnae would want us all sad let go play out in the snow..." she laughs pulling on Ernia's hand. Drac and Diana giggle racing out the tent. Virendra laughs shakign her head before laying her head on Ernia's shoulder. She was determind to have a good time because she knew that was what her Aunt would want.

Michelle squeels when she finds a gift under the tree for her. She was trying her hardest to pull it out. She yelps as she falls backwards knocking into the pae'il in the process. They all laughed as they batted at eachother trying to get up.

Tinania smiles up at Surion letting him knwo she was okay without words until she heard Damien's voice. She turned looking at him her face full of concern, she had never seen or heard him act like this. Lookign up at Surion she kisses him lightly before stepping away to walk over to Damien.

Biting his bottom lip she touches his shoulder "Damien..." she didn't knows what to do so rather say anything she just wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and hugged him hoping to comfort him. As much as they were fighting even she couldn't help but not like when he got upset.

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Rinon frowns a little. In his worry over his own half-sister, and Krista, he hadn't remembered Melantha, either. He cups Krista's face in his hands and makes her look up at him. "Do not blame youself for any of this, Krista," he says, softly. "Everyone was shocked. No one was thinking about anything other than Eirnae. . . . Now," he pauses a moment, taking a stab at a small smile, though it doesn't really have any happiness in it. "Do you want to go look for her? Melantha might need some friends with her."

Ernia actually smiles a little, and allows herself to be pulled from the tent. I am afriad there will be no playing in the snow for me, she signs, pausing for a moment to run her hands over her gown. I couldn't possibly ruin this gown. . . .

Nyoka glances at Tinania when she comes over to them. She loosens her hold on Damien a bit, hoping that the both of them could work to get Damien back to at least some semblence of normalcy. She reaches out one of her hands, seeking Aylana's. It is all the comfort she can provide for her sister right now, with Damien in her arms.

Initially, Damien jerks at Nani's voice, and her touch. But, he relaxes again, and wills the tears to stop. When he is sure he can face everyone, he pulls away from both women, hastily straightening his clothes, and wiping away the tear-trails on his scaled cheeks. He moves his red-rimmed eyes between Nyoka and Nani, twice, before looking away from both of them. "Thanks," is all he can say, still unable to meet either of their eyes.

~*~*~***~*~*~

Deep in the Emerald Forest, Lenore stirs. She mumbles something that sounds suspiciously like, "Ihavethesuddencravingforpapayas," before her body jerks her awake.

She opens her amber eyes and sees nothing but dark blonde hair. Her eyes tear up again, as she ignores the scent of fresh, warm blood beneath the skin of the woman holding her.

Gently, she pulls her head back, and searches for the familiar sea-green of Eirnae's eyes. When she sees them, she reaches her hands up to tentatively touch her cheek.

When she realizes that she is not dreaming, she lets out a strangled sob, and clings to Eirnae, her tail snaking to wrap around Eirnae's leg.

"You're really here?" she whispers, her hands fisting around Eirnae's jacket. She breathes in her scent again, staying silent for a long while more, before asking, "Where have you been?"

~*~*~***~*~*~

Lucius's smile widens when he sees Alimus again. Unlike his mistress, Lenore, though, he does not become teary eyed. Try as they might, he will not allow the tears to come to his eyes just yet.

Rather than answer Alimus directly, however, he looks down in Itzel's eyes, and winks a little. "Yes, Itzel," he says. "I will help make our home again."

His blue eyes move to meet Alimus's black ones again, the wide grin never leaving his lips. He tilts his head to the side, and then holds out his hand for him, quirking his eyebrow at Alimus as though asking, When are you going to get over here and hug me, you scaredy-cat?

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion lets Nani go just standing quietly, he doesn't know what to make of everything that just happened but it was obvious what she was attempting and he didn't feel right to get in the way.

Ala sighs and walks over to her friend looking at Krista she offers a soft smile "It looks like the family is complete once more" she says as her wings unfurl to near their fullest and then fold in upon themselves sliding into her back "You are blessed" she says softly and then turns walking to the side of the tent looking out and up at the sky, it was nearing a year since she first met her sister and nearing a year since she got married...

Aylana take Nyoka's hand giving it an understanding squeeze, she blinks back the tears wiping her eyes with her free hand Are you okay Nyoka? she asks her within her mind.

Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar

She has to repress the sudden bubbling of nervous laughter from deep inside at the memory that Lenore's half awake and hurried mumbling brings to the forefront of her thoughts. The image of Lenore laying down on the Haven's couch, round with their unborn son, as she fed her sliced papayas with a pleased grin. She can almost feel the whoosh against her legs of Vinyn as she flies around the couch and away from the pursuing Shina's arms.

She has to blink away the events from behind her eyes so she can focus down into Lenore's golden amber pools, her head tilting to press her cheek into Lenore's timid fingers. Her arms go around Lenore as her fiance' clings to her, her face burying itself in the scent and feel of Lenore's hair once more. She smiles at the feel of the tail she had only just gotten used to before she fell into the blackness of unconciousness.

"I'm here," she whispers back to Lenore's hushed inquiry, not willing to give up her soft haven of green hair to allow Lenore to see her lips as they move. She waits for the inevitable question, afraid of how her answer will change their future.. if they still had one. When it comes, she finds herself speaking without thinking first, her heart doing the talking. "I was here, with you and our family, in the only way that I could be. Whomever caused this took everything else."

She takes in a shaky breath before letting it out again slowly, puffing up Lenore's hair as she rethinks what she should say. The whole truth would be a bit much, at least when spilled out in but a few sentences. "The last thing I could do was try to... try to protect my little ones. It was all that I could think of, when the fire came down." Her eyes close as she pushes out the memory of the overwhelming heat as it surged towards them. "I reached for Shina, but Vinyn was just out of my reach. Itzel was with Alimus, and he had already twisted around to put himself between it and her. It was all so fast. None of us had time to run." Her hand starts to stroke at Lenore's shoulder, trembling slightly as she holds in a further outpouring of the event. She didn't want to overwhelm her love even more.

~~~~~~~~~~

Alimus's eyes are not well known for conveying what he's thinking, but their current intensity belies his coiled muscles as he catches Lucius' look. In response he leans down, his hands coming down to touch the earth to either side of Lucius' head, his legs remaining as is as his upper body bends to lower his now smirking lips a scant few inches above Lucius' own. "Latria," he rumbles to the frisking Sentinel, "Would you take Itzel to the cottage? I'm sure it's still there. We'll be along shortly."

Latria snickers in her own fashion as she darts forward to grip Itzel's ruff with her mouth, plucking the half grown Zephirae off of Lucius' chest like an egg from a nest and carrying her off at a rapid trot. Itzel isn't one to be carried in such an indignant fashion, however, and is swift to swing about and land on Latria's back, laying down so she nearly covers the Sentinel's length as they ride on towards the cottage Itzel remembers as home.

"Now..." Alimus whispers as he shifts the palms of his hands to tuck his fingers underneath of Lucius' shoulders, his head lowering another two inches to barely brush his lips against those of Lucius. "Where were we?"

Krista DarkAngel Silme

Krista bites her bottom lip then shakes her head "No Rinon I don't. If I know Mel, we won't find her until she is ready to be found." she lays her head against Rinon'c chest, she bite her bottom lip hard. This was getting way to hard and she was ready to give up this plan. With a deep breath she holds the mistletoe close to herself then shakes her head smiling alittle "Come on no more tears from me. Were suppose to be having fun right?" she turns looking at Ala then with a soft smile she watches her friend walk off. She leans against Rinon keeping quiet as she watches everyone. How in one night everything she knew was about to change she didn't know.

Virendra laughs then squeezes Ernia's hand as she signs with the other "Its fine we'll watch them play. We can just enjoy the snow." she turns as she watches Drac and Diana throwing snow at eachother. Ren looks back to her best friend then nudges her smirking.

Tinania smiles alittle then nods looking down as she pushed her hair back "Not a problem Mein. I'll always be here for you, even if bad things happen." looking back up she gives his arm a squeeze before turning and walking back to Surion. She wraps her arms around his waist still very confused about everything that had just happened. She hugs Surion closer looking up at him smiling alittle.

Michelle shakes her head then looks at the pae "Comos, Kaelin could you help me please?" Both the pae looekd at her and with a shrugs then try to help her pull the gift out. But once again it was too heavy and they all end up falling backwards. They all started giggling once again. Anila just sitting there watching them for once just acting innocent.

christmas with the darkangels/slytherin-natenhars ~ cont.

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Rinon only nods in reply. He then smiles a little, and grabs one of Krista's hands, before placing her other hand on his waist. His free hand moves to the small of her back, and he twirls her, beginning to dance. Even though the music is low, and really not made for this type of dancing, the music is in his head.

Besides, he only has a few more, precious moments with his new wife. He wants to make them the best that he can.

He glances over at Ala, wondering why she is off on her own. . . .

Ernia grins, although it looks a little evil. Watch this, she signs, before rushing off to get her scepter from the pack her mum carried to the tent earlier.

When she returns, she closes her eyes, and opens her arms. She lifts her scepter in the air, and mumbles some words in an ancient tongue she is only now reacquainting herself with.

The moon clouds over, and the wind picks up, tearing at her skirt and making it flap behind her, her left leg completely exposed now. Her wings open, and her feathers ruffle as her hair is pulled back by the cold wind.

When she opens her eyes, the snow is falling heavier, large, obviously enchanted, beautifully-shaped snow flakes start to fall around them.

She goes and puts her scpeter away again before returning to Ren. She then signs, I have been wanting to show off for a while now, giggling a little. Her amber, decievingly-innocent, amber eyes twinkling with delight as she folds her large wings again.

Damien nods to Nani, before he walks back over to the table that, only a few moments ago, he and Lucius were sitting at, plotting. He picks up the over-turned chair, and sits slowly into it. He then stares down at the glass of water in front of him, his long fingers tracing the rim.

Nyoka watches him leave, before returning her attention to Aylana. "I'm fine," she replies, speaking. Though, she can't help but feel a little angry over how her family has been upheaved. Things were returning to normal, her mum was smiling again. . . .

She shakes her head, clearing it of those thoughts. Eirnae made Lenore happy, too. Her second mum was, is, she corrects, the love of her mum's life. After the intial shockwaves have died, and things are explained, she is sure things will go back to normal. . . .

"I'm fine," she repeats, nodding firmly. She turns to her sister, and manages a smile at her.

~*~*~***~*~*~

Lenore pulls away, gently, again, and studies Eirnae. "I don't understand," she says, slowly, softly. "Fire? And, how were you with us?" her tail tightens around Eirnae, and she searches for her hands with her own scaled ones.

She can't tear her eyes away from the sea-green. She is transported to times before she disappeared. The chasing each other, the jokes, their overwhelming love for each other.

She wants to pick up where she left off. . . .

But . . . Melantha. For the first time since Eirnae reappeared, she thinks about Krista's twin. She puts her out of her mind, for now. Right now, all she can focus on is Eirnae's explination.

~*~*~***~*~*~

Lucius looks to make sure that Itzel is out of sight. Once he is, he doesn't even say anything. He pounces Alimus, throwing his arms around the other, kissing him properly.

Alatariel Rakamash

Torvil gets up and walks across the tent past Krista and Rinon wrapping his arms around Ala from behind and kisses her neck "You ok Love?" he asks

Ala smiles turning her head to look at him and holds his hands around her "Yeah just thinking about when Kal first showed up, besides you and the kids, she's the only blood-line family I have left" she glances over at Damien her eyes turning green, if Damien was watching his water close enough he'd see 'it's ok, I know how you feel' coming across the surface of it

Surion smiles softly and holds Nani close humming softly the tune he'd learned from his father the day he got un-grounded as he runs his fingers through her hair

Aylana nods and smiles "Seems we are in for some change once more in the family... Although likely a good change in the long run" She couldn't help but feel confussion and hoped her aunt did return soon so they could know what happened

Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar

Her hands aren't hard to find, as she shifts them to meet Lenore's questing fingers and weave them together with hers as she sits back to better appreciate Lenore's features, even if they are darkened with confusion.

"I cannot say exactly why it happened, Lenore. Even now I wonder who I made so angry that they would attack us while we were walking those months ago. I'd describe how large the fire was, but at the time it appeared like an entire sun bearing down on us from my perspective. It must have been magical in nature, there is no other logical explaination."

She pauses to lean forward and kiss the tip of Lenore's nose before she leans her head down to murmur close to Lenore's lips, "My body was immobile, locked away in a slumber I couldn't fully understand, even now. But I couldn't stay away from you, mela. From our children." Her voice becomes even more hushed as she adds, "I was here, in this very tree. I wouldn't let the woman who changed you harm our own. She struggled, but by my goddess' lending of her strength, she couldn't escape."

~~~~~~~~~~

Surprised, Alimus' lips part slightly just as the kiss begins. Suddenly he's glad that Itzel was on Lucius' belly earlier and prevented him from being there himself. How odd to feel his body flush again, the natural lack of warmth that he's had for his long existance as Shadowkin being abolished by the heat of slowly becoming more alive as Eirnae's Bonded. But this... this warmth was something different. He felt it once for Eirnae, in the days when he was convinced that she belonged with him in all ways. Lucius brings those same feelings rushing forward, but in a confused jumble of lusty need and possessiveness. He growls softly as he twists around, forgetting about what he was grateful for earlier as he moves to pin Lucius to the ground.

He finds himself hoping that Latria can keep Itzel entertained for a loo-oong while.

Krista DarkAngel Silme

Krista smiles just enjoying being with Rinon, she knew soon that she would be leaving him once again. And this time she didn't know how long that would be. She rest her head on his chest trying hard not to think about everything and just this very moment.

Looking back up she brush her lips against Rinon's not caring what anyone else would think at that very moment. Right now she was focused on her love and that was what she needed at that moment.

Virendra smiles then nods her approval as she turns her hands over palms down. Looking up at the moon, the markings on her hands and her cheek start glowing. An light blue glowing surround Virendra as the moon darknen. Just then shooting stars zipped through the sky for a few moments before stopping. Virendra looks over to her friend as the sky returns to normal "It seems we both have interesting powers..."

Drac and Diana had stopped to watch everything that just happen looking back at the two. Drac smiles shaking her head before tossing snow back at Diana. Virendra shakes her head then looks back at Ernia taking her hand. She knew she didn't have to say anythign to her friend to let her know she was happy to see her once again.

Tinania smiles hearing the song but frowns slightly just watching Mein. She wished that he would smile or that she could help him. She turns her head burying it in Surion's chest. She would give anything to make her brother smile again, and that alone was making her sad. Because she knew she wasn't able to.

Michelle frowns looking at the boxes of gifts, finally giving up she turns and tags Kaelin "Your it!!!" she laughs taking off running. Kaelin looks at her shocked before laughing and poking Comos then takes off running hersefl. He growls chasing after the two of them. Anila was laughing clapping her hand as she watched.

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Rinon continues holding Krista close, resting his cheek on the top of her head.

Nyoka nods, frowning. "Yeah, I think it might be for the better. . . . I am not sure, yet, though," she tilts her head to the side, and juts out her chin toward the flap of the tent. "Want to go see what our children are up to out there?" she asks, hoping to change the subject.

Ernia laughs, throwing back her head a little. That was great, she signs. We'd make an interesting night sky one of these nights, when we reach out full potential. . . .

At first, Damien doesn't notice anything in his water. But, soon, he is blinking. His brow furrows, and he lifts his head. His reptilian, sea-green eyes scan the room for the one responsible for the words of comfort in his glass.

~*~*~***~*~*~

Lenore's irises start to bleed into crimson, before she shakes her head. She is silent a moment, but by the tightening of her grip, which is probably stronger than Eirnae remembers, on Eirnae's hands, it is obvious she is very angry.

And, that she has her own ideas about who might have done such a thing. "Someone took away a year of our lives together," she says, through clenched teeth. Her eyes are turning red again, but only slightly, as she is working hard to keep her anger in check. Angry tears burn her eyes, adding a red sheen to her amber eyes. "I lost a year with you, our son lost a year with you . . . they will pay," she hisses the last in Parseltongue.

Suddenly, she seems to snap out of it. She loosens her grip on Eirnae's hands, and seems to have regained a great deal of her composure. She lifts the other's hands to her lips, and kisses Eirnae's fingers. "We'll figure out what happened together. . . ." she offers, the tip of her tail stroking Eirnae's leg.

She blinks, and feels a blush come to her cheeks at the mention of a certain, vampiress. She cannot quite look Eirnae in the eye now, and her lips close over her elongated canines. "I have been wanting to take care of her on my own . . . but, I could never bring myself to go back into the forest. . . ." she shakes her head, mentally cursing her weakness where her sire is concerned.

~*~*~***~*~*~

Lucius isn't thinking about much of anything, as his throat emits a very canine growl of his own.

All he can think of is finding cover, and dragging Alimus off. He just needs a place where he can tear off Alimus's clothes . . . in private. . . .

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala saw him scanning the room her eyes returning to blue and she pulls away from Torvil walking over to Damien "It's a strange feeling having family return into your life isn't it" she says quietly stopping beside of him

Surion looks at Nani "Want to go for a short walk Nani? Gather your thoughts and emotions?" he knew the situation was hard, he could sense that

Torvil leans on a pole of the tent watching Ala talk to Damien

Aylana pauses in thought "If Aunt Eirnae is back..." she looks at Nyoka "Would it make sense that Shina may be as well?" she asks frowning slightly in thought hoping this was true

Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar

A pile of snow by the playing Pae shivers, as if the white stuff finds itself freezing cold. A moment later it bursts open and a mreowling squeal of delight is followed by the 'Pamfh!' of two bodies colliding into yet another pile of snow. Itzel tumbles away from Latria's ambling paws, flipping up to her feet to crouch down on her strong little legs, her tail swishing at its tip as she readies for another powerful leap forward... When she realizes that they aren't alone. She sniffs at the air, expecting to be able to tell who these folk are by their scents, but then is flooded by the entirity of the fesitivites' smells. The many types of food and body odors throw her senses off, and she ends up plopping into the snow as if winded, and all too unprepared for Latria's pounce. "Oof!" she cries in protest as she hits the snow, Latria's smirk suddenly annoying to her. "Let me up... please," she remembers to add.

~~~~~~~~~~

Eirnae studies Lenore's reactions with trepidation, at first afraid that she would be angry with her. Shouldn't she be? She felt it was her fault for failing to protect herself and what family was with her, so why shouldn't Lenore? She is strangle relieved when she realizes that Lenore's rage is being directed at someone else. Enough relief to make her smile weakly, and gently squeeze Lenore's hands in response to their near painful grip. She doesn't mind such at all, as physical pain she can handle.

She doesn't trust that red glow that takes over Lenore's eyes, however. Even without it she would be able to tell that something is building inside of her love, and she knows that she has no right to tell Lenore that her anger isn't righteous. Hells, she wants to cleave the one responsible herself! "Yes, together," she agrees, hoping that Lenore meant such in all its possibilities.

When Lenore gains the haunted look when her sire is mentioned, Eirnae hunkers down to kiss the side of Lenore's mouth, her tongue snaking past the lips she loves so much to caress the side of a long canine. "She will be dealt with, mela. As you said before, we can do such things together. She will find our team damn hard to mess with when she chooses to show her face again." She stops talking long enough to slicken lenore's lower lip with her hungry tongue's tip before saying softly, "She is a powerful being, Lenore. I am proud of you for surviving that ordeal, even if you had to by a means you wouldn't normally choose. There is no shame in that."

~~~~~~~~~~

"The bushes," Alimus pants as the kiss slowly ends. He grips Lucius' shirt by the collar as he eases himself off of the man he thinks of as his mate, crawling back towards the very shrubs that had partially concealed him before. If the fabric tears, he's not likely to feel much remorse for it.

Krista DarkAngel Silme

Krista felt like she was the only one there once she forgot about everything else. It wasn't until she saw the flashing of her cellphone going off in her purse then she stopped moving. She really didn't want to answer it, but she had a feeling it was that call she had no choice but to get.

She looks up at Rinon sadness in her eyes once again before she steps away from him heading to her purse. Picking it up she opens the cell then frowns looking at the name of her father on it.

Virendra laughs then nods "One day we shall make an intereting team." she lays her head on Ernia's shoulder just watching her sister continue to play in the snow. It wasn't until she caught the scent of someone familar that she looked up looking around. Okay where was she? Her eyes narrowed as she searched the ground looking for someone who would look like the cub she remembered.

Tinania looks up at him then back at Mein. Seeing that he was being comforted she looks back to Surion nodding "Yes please..." she smiles taking his hand pulling him towards the tent enterance.

Michelle and the pae continued to race around the tent weaving in and out of the people still remaining in the tent. They were giggling and laughing and having a great time just like any little kid would.

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien looks up at Ala for a moment, before her turns away, gulping. He will not tear up again. He can only nod, for there is a big lump in his throat when he thinks about the moment Mum Eirnae reappeared.

Ernia is about to sign a reply to Virendra, when she hears something. Her extra-keen eyes scan the surrounding area, and she sees . . . her. Immediately, her wings unfurl, and her feathers puff up in a way that hasn't happened since she was very young. She hisses and it is certain that, if she still had a beak, it would be clicking in an irritated manner.

Her tail feathers lift and her eyes narrow as she hisses further. She remembers Itzel. The little brat had the nerve to p***k her! To draw her blood!

Nyoka's eyes immediately turn to her bracelet. She sees a faint glow on the charm representing Shina. Of course, hers and Aylana's are glowing full-blast.

And, now that she concentrates, she feels the tendrils of her sister's soul in her bracelet. She touches the snake wrapped around her forearm gently, and her eyes tear up a little. Blinking, she nods, and looks up at Aylana.

Rinon's eyes darken when Krista leaves, but he does not follow her. He knew the call was coming. All he can do is give her a nod, before turning away. He doesn't want her to see how much this is tearing him up.

~*~*~***~*~*~

Lenore blinks when she feels the familiar touch of Eirnae's kiss. Her heavy eyelids lower further, and she hisses pleasantly. When it is over, she is sad for it, and she listens to what Eirnae has to say.

Though she does not agree with what she says, she has to nod. "We'll take care of her, together," she agrees.

She puts aside her anger over what has happened to Eirnae, and half of her family, and tries a smile. "I'm so happy that you are back. I really can't explain how I am feeling right now. . . ." she says, softly, looking away again.

And, she doesn't know how she is going to explain Melantha to Eirnae, either. . . . She puts that thought aside, again. She is taking the cowardly way out by not beinging it up herself. But, she doesn't want to taint this bit of time she has with Eirnae.

Because, she knows that, soon, they will have to go back to the tent.

~*~*~***~*~*~

Lucius can only nod, and crawl after Alimus, keeping on him.

Once close enough to the cover, he growls again, his fingernails changing to his canin claws for a moment. The better to rip the shirt off. . . .

Through the fog in his brain, he is a little shocked at how he is acting. But, then, his mind fogs over again, and all he can think about is getting to those bushes, and fast.

And, getting rid of any cloth in the way of him being even close to Alimus. . . .

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala pulls a chair close and sits down next to Damien "I had my twin sister return to my life last january, just around new years. I can know what you are feeling. Damien... it is ok to cry, to let your emotions out, you've been given a blessing and by Visha you deserve those tears. Remember that for nothing else is true. Your whole family has been given something many can only wish for..." she says quietly so that only Damien would hear her unless they could truely hear through the hubbub and noise that is the tent.

Surion nods and pulls Nani close wrapping his arm around her waist as they head out of hte tent to walk on the Haven grounds

Aylana looks at her bracelet and smiles softly her eyes filling with tears. A sense of happiness that had been absent so long filled her

Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar

Latria's head swivels at the sound of the hiss, her taking in the sight of the feathered Zephirae with a mixture of surprise and disdain. Not her again! Of course this give Itzel the advantage, and she take it in full. She propells herself forward from the snow, tackling Latria at a slight angle to toss the Sentinel onto her side as she yeowls in shock. Itzel's roar of triumph isn't nearly as impressive as her fathers' would be, but she gives it a go anyway.

She then turns her head to look up... up... to where Virendra and Ernia are standing, her yellow-green eyes widening as she realizes just who they are. Her pleasure at seeing familiar faces again, and of her own kind none-the-less, makes her ignore Ernia's hostile reaction to Itzel's presence. The little Zephirae begins to purr, her black and grey hair floating up as the wind picks it up and plays with its strands. "I know you!" she calls out to them cheerily, her smile bright and wide, showing off her sharp pointed teeth. "Ernia and Virendra, right?"

It's then that she notices Ernia's body language, and her ears flatten against her head as her features turn sulky. What in the world had she done to deserve that treatment? After all, hadn't she been sleeping with the oth... "Ahmf!" she squeaks as Latria pulls Itzel's previous trick at the last moment, dumping Itzel off of her and into a snowdrift.

"Latria!" Itzel grumbles in a muffled voice from inside her snowy pile of a prison, "You'll pay for that!"

The Sentinel simply mreowls a laugh and bounds off a ways, leaving obvious tracks for Itzel to follow as the Zephirae struggles out of snow, losing her balance and falling back into it as her wings flap futilely to steady her in the soggy mess.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Aye, I find myself at a loss as to what to say, too," she agrees as she presses forward to kiss along Lenore's cheek, glad to let the blossoming need within her cover up her doubts and concerns. Of course, she's also aware that such will have to wait till later. She owed an explaination to the rest of the family, and she had made them wait long enough as it was.

"Should we be getting back?" she asks relunctantly, her mouth finding Lenore's to delay her love's reply as long as possible. These moments together are all the more precious to her, as soon their privacy would be shattered by their busy lives. Would she trade it all in for more of these moments? Not a chance in the hells.

~~~~~~~~~~

The foilage of the bushes brushes past Alimus's skin, and he shivers at the sensation as his shirt is torn away to reveal still more for the leaves to 'attack'. His own hands gain slightly curved claws to return the favor to Lucius' clothing, his mouth seeking to stay with Lucius' lips no matter how they move. Of course that involves a great deal of twisting and twining as his hands roam about to get every scrap off of his target, brazenly exploring along the way.

Unlike Lucius, no part of his mind is shocked or questioning of how he is acting. His long slumber was spent turning over his feelings for this man, this shifter who has captured his attention so thoroughly. What is happening now is what he's imagined over and over in the darkness, and vowing to make such a reality should he have been given the chance.

His smile is that of one grateful for just such a chance as he finally ceases in his efforts to maintain the kiss, nipping his way down Lucius' throat to its base, fully intent on marking Lucius as his in the way of his kind.

Krista DarkAngel Silme

Krista glances back looking just as Rinon turned, she swallowed hard trying to keep calm as she hit the talk button on her cell "Hello?" the voice was muffled but as Krista's eye widen she grabbed for her chair to keep herself from fainting. "She there but why?" she shook her head her voice slightly loud "Now...but I.." she winces pulling the phone away from her ear as the voice started screaming.

Frowning she pulled it back to her ear "Alright I will be there soon..." hanging the phone up she threw it back into her purse looking down "That stupid twin of mine....she going to ruin everything..." she didn't move from her spot trying to figure out what to do. She knew she had to leave soon. She looked back at Rinon shaking her head "This isn't fair...." she looked back down at her purse going quiet.

Virendra watches the child reading her lips, she was shocked that Itzel wasn't a teen like them. She glances at Ernia and hugs her close shaking her head as she signs "Its okay Ernia, please don't get mad...." she lays her head on her shoulder purring.

Drac and Diana look over when they hear the other calling. Drac arches a brow watching Ren and Ernia then looking back at the child. She yelps when she is tackled by Diana. "You bloody brat!!!"

Tinania leans against Surion keeping quiet, her free hand running along the brooch on her elven riding gown. She knew it had come from her auntie that she had never met, and now seeing her she was so confused. How could someone just leave them all liek that. Leave her aunt and brother. Shaking ehr head she frowns once more "I just don't get it..."

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Rinon doesn't say anything. He is trying his best not to just tell Krista that he doesn't want her to go, that he wants to her to stay here, with him, where it is safe.

He tries to smile at her, though. Tries to give her some strength.

Ernia does, but only for Ren. Her feathers smooth out again. Alright, better? she signs, watching Itzel. She offers, for the sake of her friendship with Virendra, a smile at the little one.

She too, however, is slightly shocked that Itzel did not grow with the rest of them. She watches the little one play in the snow, and, depsite herself, and amused twitch of a grin tickles at the corner of her mouth.

Damien shrugs. "So, you know how it feels, then? To know that someone you have been mourning for quite some time, even if it is quietly, comes back all of the sudden," she manages, swallowing the lump in his throat. He shakes his head again. "I can't cry," he adds. He doesn't go into detail as to why, though. . . .

Nyoka hurriedly slithers from the tent and scans the skies, hoping against hope to see the white figure of her other sister there.

~*~*~***~*~*~

Lenore nods her reply. She starts to stand, and holds out her hand to help Eirnae up. "I can get us there quickly, if you would like to treat this situation as you would a bandaid," she says, smiling a little, this time with a hint of playfulness.

Should Eirnae decide to take Lenore's hand, they would be transported to the tent. Of course, Lenore assumes Eirnae knows this, having been through this with her before.

~*~*~***~*~*~

Once the two are in the bushes, all that is heard is faint, and sometimes not so faint, growls, and, in the beginning, various ripping noises . . . And the ruslting of leaves. . . .

Alatariel Rakamash

"I do... I know what it is like, I know what it is like to wonder about your mother and then find out the truth about what became of them, I know what it's like to have a family member return, in my case my twin sister who I had not seen since I was very young. You may not feel you can cry, at least not now, but don't bottle it in forever, even if it's in private and in your room. it's the best way to start again" Ala's eyes turn green and in one hand she creates a small ball of water, and the other a ball of green glowing energy. she brings them together and they glow brightly ending with a flash and her eyes return to normal "This is a water crystal, I'm giving it to you for christmas, so you can remember you are not alone in the feelings you are feeling now..." the gem is a completely clear crystal with a hint of blue to it, and no more then the size of a small marble the only thing marring it's clearness is a very small 'line' which upon closer inspection would reveal to be a small 'tunnel' through it like a bead, what Ala didn't tell him was only her people could make these, and that they were very rare.

Surion frowns softly "Perhaps she didn't have a choice" he says softly guessing what she was refering to by both what had happened plus her touching the brooch she wore

Aylana turns on her heel hurrying after her sister, she stops beside of Nyoka and begins to search the sky like Nyoka, in search of Shina

Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar

Itzel sputters as she finally frees herself from the cloying snow, flapping her wings furiously to get the freezing stuff off of her damp feathers. She shivers once, wrapping her arms around herself, suddenly aware of how little she is wearing and how effectively the chill bites past her fur and straight into her flesh. She stubbornly refuses to let her teeth chatter, and takes a giant step forward to get out of the knee-high drift, only to slip on a patch of ice and end up with her arms buried up to the elbows as her lower half gets treated to much the same. She snorts with disgust at the powdery white, and damned cold, snow that is no longer proving to be fun, pushing herself up into a crouch. This time her wings wrap around her like a cloak as she very slowly gets back to her feet, her arms out to either side for balance as she wobbles.

Latria circles around and watches this show with amusement, right up to the point that she catches the look on Itzel's face. She sees her ward's determination to get up on her own, and knows that the game has ended for now. That look meant Itzel was doing something serious, or at least thought provoking. Drat... and she'd wanted to keep the fun going a bit longer. She pads closer to the rising winged child, positioning herself just out of reach to the right of her. She knows from experience that such a distance shows Itzel that she believes she can do the task on her own, but is just close enough in case Itzel really can't.

Itzel does weave a bit more as she regains her sense of balance, but soon she takes a step towards Latria and doesn't fall. Letting out a small exhalation of a relieved breath, she continues that way till she can hug Latria's warm neck and rest a cheek against her Sentinel's fur, smiling shyly over at Virendra and Ernia as some of her hair spills over her face. "Slippery," she offers over to them with her embarassment over her usual grace being defied by common snow showing in the duck of her head against Latria's comforting neck ruff.

As much as the two Fa'e scan the skies, no wings are apparent. However, if they should look in the direction of the manor itself, some of the upstairs lights are on. One, in particular, that of Shina's room. Shadows pass behind the drawn curtains. Someone is definately up there. Their rings begin to glow a smidgen brighter.

~~~~~~~~~~

She chuckles softly, the sound not nearly as hollow as she was afraid it would sound. "I've always loved your smile," she admits as she accepts Lenore's help to get to her feet, lifting her fiance's hand to kiss the top of it like a courtly gentleman would. "Aye, let's go and do what mending we can."

Krista DarkAngel Silme

Krista shaking her head walks over looking up at Rinon, lifting her gloved hand she runs it along his cheek "I must go, I promise I will be back soon.." she leans up brushing her lips against his for a moment before wrapping her arms around his waist. She knew this was causing him much pain, and she would give the world to take that away from him.

Virendra smiles leaving her head on her friend's shoulder her arms still around Ernia. She continue to purr as she watch everyone out in the snow, it felt strange yet she was happy that everyone was back together.

Drac and Diana were still rolling around in the snow laughing and giggling like crazy. They seem to be having fun just being kids on this one night they knew they could.

Tinania looked up then shakes her head "There is always a choice Sur, I just don't understand how she could disappear and not tell anyone. She put the family through so much pain. " she fall silent because she knew she couldn't talk about things she didn't understand. She was a mere baby when her aunt left the family. It was probably why she was confused, because she always wonder about her.

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien nods, and takes the small crystal in his hand. His keen eyes notice the line, and he makes a mental note, somehow, through all the thoughts churning in his head, to ask Mum Lenore if she could help him with a chain for it. "Thank you," he says, looking up at Ala again, his eyes showing that he means for both the gift, and the understanding. "I really appreciate it. . . ." he pauses a moment. "Would you like to sit with me? Maybe I can ask you a few questions about how you dealt with your sister reappearing? If, that is, I wouldn't be prying. . . ."

Ernia chuckles, and shakes her head a little as she watches Diana and Drac play, and Itzel, for that matter. No, she hasn't forgotten what the little witch did to her when they were younger. But, it's still too cute. . . .

Nyoka glances toward the manner, and does, indeed, notice the lights. She nudges Aylana. "Wanna head to the manor?" she asks, pointing. Shina's charm has started glowing more intensely. "I think we might get what we want. . . ."

Rinon holds Krista close. He doesn't want to let her go, even though he knows that he has to. "I'll be here, waiting for you," he says, kissing her lightly. "I'll always be here. Please, do me one favor. . . ." he sighs, and brushes some of her newly-blonde hair out of her face. "Please, be as safe as you can. . . . If not for yourself, or me, for the children?"

Lenore chuckles and shakes her head, before they both Disapparate.

They reappear in the tent, still holding hands as Lenore is reluctant to let go of Eirnae's. Lenore doesn't say a word as she looks around. She knows that no one wants to hear from her. They are all wanting to hear from Eirnae. . . .

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala smiled and nodded "Of course Damien, and dont think thats prying, I don't, if i did I wouldn't have told you that it happened" she leans on the table to talk a couple moments later the scent of two returning figures makes her peer in that direction

Surion slowly nods "Maybe, maybe not, it's hard to say without knowing what happened" he pulls Nani closer giving her a supportive hug

Aylana looked in the direction Nyoka pointed "Well it would explain not finding what we want out here, so yes, lets head for the manor" she could hope that her eyes weren't fooling her though if Nyoka saw it as well she probably was not imagining things

Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar

Itzel is swift to climb onto Latria's back once she notices that the two other Zephirae aren't about to approach her, nudging Latria forward with her knees as well as soft rumbles of encouraging words in jaguar. The Sentinel pauses briefly, wondering just why Itzel has become so captivated by these two others, before padding forward at a casual pace. The pair halt a couple of feet from Virendra's left side, Itzel sitting up on Latria's back as she crosses her arms over her flat chest, tilting her head side to side as she studies Virendra and then Ernia carefully. "I remember lot smaller," she comments with a gesture of her hands through the air, as if measuring their height in inches instead of feet.

~~~~~~~~~~

The manor's lights flicker in the distance invitingly, even as the one in Shina's room seems to almost fade before flaring into new life. Like a beckoning star, it shines in the night, the increasing glow of Shina's charm on the two bracelets seeming a mere reflection.

~~~~~~~~~~

Eirnae was ready for the sudden shift, having experienced it many times before. What she wasn't prepared for was the many searching looks as they arrive in the tent with everyone else. By the Lady, who was she supposed to explain things to first? She covers up her sudden influx of nervousness with a small smile, meeting every pair of eyes with her warm sea green ones, hoping that those who wish to speak with her would come forward and ask their questions so she wouldn't have to rap on a glass and attempt some sort of speech. Normally, such wouldn't be beyond her verbal skills, but her throat currently felt drier than most deserts. She shifts her weight from one foot to another, her long dark blond hair swishing against the small of her back. Just another reminder of how long she'd been asleep, but one she's thinking of keeping. Too long had she been ignoring her family's tradition of growing out their hair as they aged, cutting it at the shoulder and keeping it that short as she'd traveled. She'd set down roots now, it was time to honor tradition.

Krista DarkAngel Silme

Krista nods then touches his cheek "I will be okay Rinon, I promise. I'll come back soon." stepping away she turns just as her sisters walked back into the tent. Biting her bottom lip, she shakes her head walking up to them. She hugs Lenore then kisses her sister cheek then turns to Eirnae.

Looking at her she had so many question, yet at this point she wouldn't be able to ask them. She simply hugs her sister whispering softly "We have much to talk about dear sister, and if I didn't have to run I would be asking a million questions right now." pulling back she smiles "I must go, work is calling it seems. I shall see you all soon." without another though she winks before disapparating from the area.

Virendra giggles titling her head as she looks at Itzel then back at Ernia, she could read Itzel's lips perfectly, but she doesn't know who to explain it to Itzel because she didn't know if Itzel knew sign language like Ernia did so she figure she let Ernia explain it.

Drac finally manage to pin Diana and cover her in snow before leaping away and head to stand next to Virendra. Diana cough as she sat up form a snowball in her hands then tossed it at the back of Drac's head "You bloody cheat!!"

Tinania nods looking up at Surion "Yea your right, I shouldn't pass judgement so fast. I should hear the story first before I say anything." she leans up kissing Surion's cheek bone then rest her head on his shoulder.

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Rinon nods, giving Krista one last kiss before she goes to Eirnae.

Then, he silently slips toward the back of the tent. He feels a bit like an intruder. So, he stands with Ximena and Alasseo as they watch what is going on.

Damien is about to speak, when he hears the tell-tale pop. He turns, his mouth open to speak, and looks at his mums.

He watches as Krista leaves, frowning a little. But, he doesn't have time to ask her anything, or wish her a safe journey, or even express the wish that she hurries back.

Instead, he mumbles to Ala to please excuse him, that he will be back soon, and he stands. On his shaking, long legs, he starts to make his way toward Eirnae and Lenore.

When he is in front of them, he looks from Lenore, to Eirnae, his own sea-green eyes meeting that of his mum. "Where have you been?" he asks, softly. It is the only question he has. . . .

Lenore bites her lip as she watches Damien. She isn't used to the now-faint red rimming around his eyes, and she wants to scoop him into her arms. But, she wants to wait to see how Eirnae handles the reunion. . . .

Nyoka nods, and hurrriedly slithers to the manor, sure that Aylana is close behind her. She tears up the stairs, her tiny wings flapping a little behind her. "Shina!" she calls as she nears the room.

Ernia sighs, and tells Itzel, "I remember you smaller, too," she says, raising her chin a little. "We have grown," she says, explaining. "Matured. You will, I expect, sometime in the future."

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala nods as Damien exuses himself, she ddid not question the actions. She knew the feeling only too well. Krista's departure though has her baffled and she blinked and looked between where Krista had been and hte retreating Rinon.. Thats odd... after all the planning she leaves now? this confuses her to no end

Surion nods and holds her tight, he had every intention of just walking with her till she felt it was time and she was ready to return

Aylana chases after Nyoka into the manor and towards Shina's room "Shina!.." she calls out almost an echo of her sister

Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar

"Itzel mature," the little Zephirae replies with a firm nod, her arms crossing back over her chest in obvious defiance of the concept that Ernia is 'more mature' than she is. "Not cub anymore," she continues before canting her head to the side to study Ernia's plumage curiously. "Like big sister, but not. She like moon, you like clouds when sun leaving sky." She then growls the jaguar word for beautiful, Latria flicking her ears with her distaste. For her Bond's compliments to go to another annoys her, especially if that one is Ernia. "Why she not talk?" Itzel inquires while nodding in Virendra's direction. "Her tongue not work right?"

~~~~~~~~~~

Vinyn meets the two Fa'e as they barrel up the stairs, having just left Shina's room shaking her head with dismay. Her eyes widen into sky blue spheres before she squeals with delight and bounces forward to try and hug Nyoka tightly. "Oh, 'Oka! I've missed you and the others so much!" The air around Vinyn becomes thick with a heavy mist as the Crystaelis' abilities to manipulate water and air are affected by her shift in mood. After a long moment, whether the hug goes through or not, Vinyn backs up a bit and nods in the direction of Shina's room. "I wouldn't go in there just yet... Shina's not quite herself right now. She practically ran into her room and hasn't left it since. She's searching for something like its going to save the world."

A muffled voice from within the room calls, "Let them in, Vinyn. 'Oka, Lana, I'm in here! ... Just a second ... " The door bursts open, and Shina suddenly fills the doorway leading into her old room, her wings fluffed due to her agitation at not finding whatever in the hells she's looking for. Shina isn't quite as her two blood sisters would remember her, being a couple of inches shorter than before and with long pointed ears like Eirnae's. In fact, the greatest of changes is the lack of the red scars along her wrists, being exposed as they currently are. Instead, around her left wrist and forearm is a dark blue swirl pattern that encircles an equally dark star. She still retains her dark blue rose on her left cheek, the aged silver mark from Silver on the top of her right hand, and seems to have gained a new oval gem on her forehead that has a soft glow from within, but otherwise her skin seems unblemished as her dark blue ringed eyes sparkle with her smile. "I've missed you, my sisters." Her voice is richer than before, as if she's matured even further in the past months.

~~~~~~~~~~

Eirnae responds to Krista's embrace mostly out of instinct, drawing her adopted sister in only to have her slip away and disappear. She frowns slightly, her gut telling her that something is wrong but she can't put her finger on what exactly that is. She'd have to ask Lenore about it later.

Her heart wrenches at her insides as Damien approaches. For a moment her mind superimposes the image of Damien as a little boy, and it's his young voice that she hears starting to ask his question but such is finished in the more mature one he has developed as a teen as she again sees him for what he has become. She blinks away fresh tears, though she cannot dismiss the building up of the moisture in her eyes, her voice catching in her throat. Finding speaking aloud to be too much, she instead steps forward and opens her arms to her son, her voice little more than a whisper as she tries to answer his question. "I was in a magically induced slumber, Damien. Gods... I've missed so much of your life." She keeps her arms out even as a tear escapes her control and slides down a cheek to plop onto the leather of her jacket's collar. "I never thought I'd be free of it, and get to see you again. Just look at you... So tall and handsome." Her eyes shine with pride despite the guilt and remorse for lost time remaining nestled in her heart.

Aylana and Nyoka mess with Damien & Surion

Surion landed near the club hopping off the disc and shrinking it down before pocketing it "Now then, where is Damien" he mused to himself fishing out his gold pouch from his pocket to pull out the pass Silver had given him while his eyes scanned the crowd of clubbers, he wasn't sure which line it was likely Damien would be in, or even if he'd be in a line at all yet.

Damien isn't in line. In fact, he is just walking up to the club. Looking very much out of place. As he scans the others in front of him, he becomes uncomfortably aware of this fact. Thankfully, he does not blush at this realization. Instead, he walks with his head held high, his long hair, loose tonight, trailing behind him in the slight breeze.

He stops at the very end of the line, and looks around him again. He ignores the amused looks he is getting as he looks for Surion. After a few moment, he thinks he spots the boy ahead. On long legs, he strides over to him.

Surion soon seens the moving head of Damien who he was meeting "Hey Damien" he calls waving at him, he was in fact near the vip door. He is once again amazed at hte different people that club and all their different appearances, he's glad that Damien has a somewhat distinct appearance

Damien turns at the sound of his name. Again, he is thankful for the blush not coming to his face. He waves back at Surion, and sticks his hands in the pockets of his perfect, boot cut, black jeans. Alright, so he actually dressed down a little? He still has his elaborate elven tunic, and cape, on. "Hello," he says, when he gets closer to Surion. His reprilian, sea green eyes scan the long line. "So, how are we supposed to get in here, again?" he asks, a slanted eyebrow raising a little when his eyes return to Surion.

Surion admires the teen's style, damn if he could pull off an Elven tunic like that he would, but nah he stuck with his black jeans boots and silk shirt "That part is easy, I've been here twice before" Surion says with a laugh "And only once so far with Nani" he turns heading for the VIP door

Damien smiles slightly, and removes one of his hands from his pocket long enough to run his long finger through his long hair. He slips it back into his pocket quickly, however, wanting to make sure that his wand is still where he left it. He follows Surion.

The thought suddenly strikes him that, just because Surion can get in, does not mean that he can. Will he being Surion's guest be enough? Well, nothing for it now. He will just have to wait and see. . . .

Surion walked up tot he bouncer and showed his card and spoke with te bouncer for a moment then grinned "Come on.. This place is awesome... Might even run into familiar faces" he told Damien knowing Nani's sister worked there but not whether she'd be there or not

Surion pouched the card and then pocketed the pouch and headed inside

Damien shrugs. Who could possibly know that works in a club?

Of course, he doesn't know that his own sister works here. As a dancer, no less. . . .

Nevertheless, he follows Surion in, eyeing the bouncer a moment, before ducking into the darkness.

And soon is clamping his hands over his sensative ears. He looks around, and spots Surion again. He sticks close.

This is his first outing to such a place and he has no idea what the heck he is doing. . . .

Surion looks back at his girlfriend's brother and chuckled, sure it was loud in there, his own sensitive ears took some adjusting to it. He headed for a booth in a corner dodginghte moving bodies who were headed for the dance floor and slid onto the seat motioning Damien to join him. If it grew too difficult to talk he supposed there was always the lounge

Damien keeps his eyes on Surion. . . .

. . . . Which is probably a good thing. Because, at the far end of the dance floor, Nyoka is dancing on her platform. She is grinning as she reaches down to take a tip.

But, her grin soon falters when she sees her little brother. Her wings flap a little, and she slides from her spot, to a smattering of groans.

The groans catch Damien's attention, and he glances in the direction they came. Nyoka is low on her tail, so she is hidden by the many bodies between her and her brother. So, he merely shrugs, and sits in the booth with Surion. He slowly lowers his hands, and looks over at Surion again.

"So," he says, raising his voice to a louder tone than he usually would have used, just so that he can be heard over the pounding base. "I am sure that you are wondering just why I asked to have a meeting?" he continues, formal as ever. He starts to unclasp his cape, putting the leaf pin safely in the pocket that doesn't currently hold his wand. He folds his hands, neatly, on the table in front of him, and waits to see if Surion has heard.

Meanwhile, Nyoka is sticking to the shadows, keeping her keen eyes on Damien.

Surion nods leaning casually ont he table "Yeah I am, though Damien, if we are gonna talk here... be casual, this isn't a place for formalities." he watches Damien remove the pin and his cape

Aylana looked up at the sounds of the groans after serving the drinks she had and walked over to the now hiding Nyoka "What are you doing hiding?" She asks not having yet noticed the pair of teens

Damien blinks. "Casual?" he asks. What, is he not acting casual? He doesn't know any other way to act. This is just him.

So, he just waves that comment away. "I wanted to speak to you about Tinania. . . ." he says, and smiles, sheepishly. "I only very recently heard about the two of you. . . . Please, do not think that I am trying to be the over-bearing family member, here. I am really very happy for the two of you. If you can make her happy, I respect you for that, and offer my friendship," oh, how hard it is for him to say that at the moment. Especially when he could care a lick about Tinania's happiness at the moment.

Her safety, however, is another matter.

He unclasps his hands, and reaches up to fiddle, nervously, with a chunk of his green-highlighted, dark blonde hair. He sighs, trying to think of the best way to say this. "One thing I wanted to ask of you, though, is that. . . . Well, can I have your word, that you will do your very best never to hurt her?" He has a feeling she is going to need a rock in her life sometime soon. . . .

Nyoka yelps, and falls on her bum. Hissing, she grabs at Aylana, attempting to pull her down with her. "Look!" she says, in Greek. "My brother is here with some guy. I just want to keep an eye on him. WITHOUT him finding out. . . ." she admits.

Surion blinks "Nani? Far as I know she's happy... " he was about to ask if something changed that when Damien continues speaking "I would never intentionaly hurt her, I've loved her for a long time, since I was a kid in fact" he frowned slightly at the thought that he might hurt her in some way

"Woah" she hadn't expected to be pulled to the ground "Damien is here? With some guy? I'd ask where but I can't see past waists right now." she rather hoped Nyoka would let go so she could stand upright again

"Trust me, I believe you," Damien says, clasping his hands on the table again. "No one really ever intends to hurt the ones that they care are about. . . ."

Sighing, he sits back in his seat, and unbuttons the first several buttons of his shirt absently. Too many people in this place, and the body heat is making it very stuffy. He pulls back his hair and twists it, so that it stays out of his face.

"I want to be honest with you," Damien says. Why, he can't explain. "Another reason that I am here is to ask if you could help my sister, Nyoka, and Aylana and I keep an eye on Tinania. She is in over her head with at least two very rotten people. . . ."

Nyoka lets go, and stands as well. She lifts an eyebrow at Damien's state of dress. "There, you can't miss Damien. He sticks out like a sore thumb in a place like this." She, however, looks at the boy with him now. Nope, she has no idea who that is. Frowning, she starts to move closer, batting hands away from her body.

If she wasn't so into her task, she would have decked the owners of the hands. . . .

Surion sat up more frowning "What do you mean over her head with rotten people, Damien if she's in danger..." his eyes flickered emerald green. Oh if anyone were to harm her... he already wanted to beat the crap out of whoever it was who had hurt her in the past

Aylana straightens up and fixes her clothing turning in the direction Nyoka had motioned "Well I'll be it is Damien, and Surion, I wonder how Surion convinced him to come here" She followed after Nyoka

Damien raises a hand, hopefully to stop Surion from getting too angry.

"Perhaps we should get a drink? I think I need something to wet my dry throat," he says, smiling again, although it doesn't reach his eyes. "Besides, I have much to explain to you. It might take a bit. . . . If you are willing to listen to the whole story."

Then, he tilts his head, thoughtfully, to the side. "I wonder, have you read the book series by the name of Harry Potter? Or, at least, have seen the movies?" It might seem a strange question to ask, but it has everything to do with what he is about to explain. . . .

"Who?" Nyoka asks, turning to glance back at Aylana. But, she notices that her brother has raised her hand to get the attention of a waitress. "Quick!" she hisses. "Get to him before Ciara can," she says, and nudges Aylana in Damien's direction.

She will get the information out of her as soon as she takes Damien's order. . . .

"Harry.. Potter..? Movie?" Surion blinked "Uh I'm afraid not Should I have?" now he was a tad bewildered

Aylana looked at Nyoka throwing her a 'quit pushing me and pulling me around' look and wanders ahead to the table "Good evening guys, I see Surion has pulled you away from the libraries Damien" she pushes her long hair over her shoulder looking at the pair

Damien sighs. Well, damn, he thinks. "It is a popular bit of litera . . ." however, his sentence trails off when he sees Aylana standing in front of him.

Nyoka, however, rolled her eyes at the look, and is now staring avidly at the trio at the booth a ways ahead of her.

Another grab, this time for her boob. "Oi! That is it!" she spins around, and throws a punch, sending the person, this time a woman, flying through the crowd. She then leaps on her, claws beared.

The commotion grabs Damien's attention, but only for a moment. Bunch of drunken idiots brawling, is all he thinks, before he returns his gaze to Aylana.

"I guess. . . ." he replies, and then blinks, shaking his head. "I'm sorry, but, what in the world are you doing here?" he asks, though he has not forgotten Surion. He gives him a look that clearly says, I will explain once Aylana leaves.

Surion looks from Aylana who he is not surprised to see at all past her to the brawling pile with raised eyebrows, he is pretty sure one is a fa'e but isn't certain

Aylana looks over her shoulder rolling her eyes slightly "I work here, and you called for a waitress.. " Question is, how did Surion convince you here she thinks to herself. She know Nyoka can hold her end of hte fight up and looks back to Damien

Nyoka growls, and hisses, when the woman tries to grab her breast again, and whips out at her with the silver tip of her tail.

She is still struggling when the bouncer starts to pull her off of the unfortunate woman. "That'll teach you to fondle some stranger, you b***h!" she hisses, her eyes flashing green a moment, before she pulls herself out of the bouncer's grip. "I'm fine. Just, get her out of here," she says, angrily.

Chuckling, the bouncer mock-salutes Nyoka, and helps the other woman up.

Stretching her wings a few times before folding them close to her, in as dignified a manner as she can, Nyoka turns, and hides amongst the gyrating bodies to watch the trio again.

Oops, it looks like the strange boy might have seen her. Expirementing, she winks at him, before retreating behind a particularly burly specimen of were-human.

"Ah, yes. . . . I was thinking that Surion and I could use a drink. Erm . . . What do you recommend, Surion? Aylana?" Damien asks, tugging on a chunk of his hair again.

He is bursting with the information that he wants to tell Surion. But, he keeps that hidden from his face.

Surion blinks as he's winked at byt he particularly attractive female, he'd not noticed the conversation beside him "Ok, a snake-lady just winked at me" he muses now rather curious and leaning a lil further to try and see round the were-human

"I suppose that depends on what kind of drink you are thinking of, non-alcoholic or alcoholic" She smirks slightly imagining Damien a little on the tipsy side.

"Snake woman?" Damien is temporarily pulled away from the conversation, and looks in the direction that Surion is, suspicion in his ********>, Nyoka thinks, and grabs the were-human close to her. "Dance with me," she says, batting her long lashes at him flirtatiously.

The woman she stole him from growls at her, but a hiss, and a flash of her eyes, has her looking for other prospects.

Alright, she is sufficiently hidden. When she peeks around the man, Damien is looking up at Aylana once more. She chances another wink at the other boy, and blows a kiss.

Alright, she is having too much fun. . . .

Damien, however, says firmly, "Non-alcoholic." His gaze keeps moving toward the were-man. That's no snake-woman. Maybe Surion is seeing things?

"Uh huh... Snake woman... over by that were-person.. has snakes in her hair too... and she just... blew me a kiss!" his eyes widen and he goes three shades of red blushing

Aylana nods "Same as the last time Surion?" she asks him moving her body to try and block the view of Nyoka for the time being

Surion nods "Yeah thats fine" he tries to look the other way around Aylana

Aylana looks back to Damien "And you?"

"Black hair? Green skin? Scales under her eyes, like mine?" Damien asks, suspiciously. He narrows his eyes at the were-man. He can't see around his bloody bulk!

But, his attentions is brought to Aylana again when she steps in front of him. "Uhm. . . . If what Surion is having is non-alcoholic, I will take that. . . ." he says, not having a menu in front of him at the moment. And, with no ready suggestions. . . .

And, he just wants Aylana out of his way, so that he can confirm his suspicions.

Chuckling, and dancing ever-closer to the man, she peeks around him again. Looking at the boy with her brother again, she makes a lewd gesture with her tongue, and darts back into her hiding spot.

Once again, Damien is unable to see her.

Surion squeeks going even more red he wants to tear his eyes away, by now his face is crimson red half hidden behind the long bangs that cover half of his face. Not finding hte words to reply he simply nods at Damien's description

Aylana smiles and nods "Okay, I'll be right back with your drinks in a few" she turns on her heel and strides through the moving bodies grabbing Nyoka by the elbow as she walks not looking back and trying to keep dancers between them and the boys

Following Aylana with his eyes, Damien thinks that he sees a flash of green, but it is gone so quickly that he is unsure.

He puts it out of his mind, however, and turns to Surion again. He blinks when he sees the state of his face. "Erm . . . are you alright?" he asks.

"Hey, you're ruining my fun," Nyoka says, her black lips pouting a little as she is beng dragged through the crowd. "I thought old Hairy and I had a connection, there. The way he was dancing with me, I could have had him buying drinks for me the rest of the night."

Surion clears his throat and looks towards the table once more his eyes emerald green he creates a small ball of water which he uses to die down the flush of his face then nods "Yeah.. she... she was flirting... I'm not used to someone other then Nani flirting with me"

Aylana rolls her eyes "Oh give me a break, you could get any one of the males here to buy you drinks all night long with barely 5 minutes of your time... Damien seemed distracted in a sense, plus Surion was describing you, I thought you didn't want to be seen" she lets go of Nyoka and walks over to the bar placing the order and as an afterthought tells the bartender to spike them both

Damien chuckles. "Ah, my sisters are always telling me to get used to it, so I suppose I should pass on the same advice to you," he says.

He then clears his throat, assuring himself that there must be more than one green, snake-woman on the planet.

Then again, if Aylana works here, who's to say that Nyoka wouldn't . . . ?

He mentally shrugs, and asks, "Do you think you are of a little clearer mind?"

Nyoka chuckles. "That was that boy's name," she says, shaking her head. "So, you know him, then? How?" she asks, glancing back at her brother and this Surion.

Then, she pauses, and turns, blinking, to Aylana. "Did you just ask her to spike my brother's drink?" she asks, this time narrowng her eyes at her sister.

"Well I know Silver is a Fa'e, I know Aylana is a fa'e I get the same sense from the snake woman..." he shrugs and then nods "Yeah I think I'm more clearer of mind now" his eyes are once again a deep blue

"Surion is Ala's son, he's dating Tinania last I heard. And heard... and heard some more..." She leans back against the counter looking at Nyoka a grin playing on her lips "Oh come now, don't tell me you don't want Damien to loosen up and enjoy himself the one time he's likely to come to the club... Besides he may be more forthcoming with what he's here for"

A sigh hisses from between his teeth, and, not knowing he is doing it, he hisses, "Nyoka." Indeed, he has never hissed a word before in his life.

He then shakes his head, and takes a deep breath. "Ah, as I was explaining before Aylana came to the table," he continues, this time normally. "Harry Potter is a fairly popular bit of literature. But, not many people know that it is based on fact. . . ." he sighs again. "This might have been a bit easier had you read the books. . . . Anyway, my mum, and Nani's mum, are witches. My mum is the daughter of a very, very evil wizard. And, Aunt Krista is the daughter of his lapdog. These people are bad. They kill non-magic people by the dozens, and don't even bat an eye. They will torture you until you go insane." He pauses here, letting what he has just said sink in.

Nyoka whistles softly, and raises her eyebrows at Aylana. "If he weren't too young for me, and I didn't love your sister, despite her recent bad judgement, I would try to steal him from her," she winks at Aylana.

Then, she sighs. "I don't know. . . . He might do something stupid. . . ." suddenly, and evil grin spreads across her lips. She looks at Lana, and winks. "Love," she starts. "Be generous with that liqour. You just might get a kiss out of it. . . ."

Surion quirks a brow hearing the hiss, ok that was strange he thinks to himself and then listens to Damien's explaination his eyes wide "And Nani is involved with these men somehow?" he was growing more worried as the conversation wore on

Aylana chuckles and stands up "He grew up real nice I'll admit that" She turns and takes the two 'sodas' from the bartender "So are you going to stay hidden or come with" she asks heading for the table once more dodging and avoiding the moving bodies as it were second nature to her

Nyoka, with that wicked twinkle in her eyes, grins in an equally wicked way. "Oh, I think it will be far more amusing to sit with them. . . ." She loops and arm around Aylana's waist, and walks with her through the crowd.

Damien sighs again. "Well, she has been spending a lot of time with her grandfather and her uncle. Now, she says she has yet to meet my granfather, which is very, very lucky for her. . . . It's just. . . . Aylana and Nyoka agree with me, as well. Lucius is using her. For what, we don't know yet, and we might never know. But, we are going to try and keep her from getting hurt too badly . . . ." he has already resigned himself to the fact that Tinania will be hurt.

Surion nods his eyes flickered green angrily at hte thought that anyone would hurt the woman he loves "Surely she must have some idea the nature behind these people" he said an edge of desperate hope in his voice, he didn't notice the approaching Fa'e

Aylana winks at Nyoka "Better watch yourself, or is it the other way around for Surion" she says and walks up to the table "Okay, two Mountain Dews..." She pulls away from Nyoka, "Scoot over Damien" she moves to sit next to him

"She believes that, because Lucius is treating her with kindness, for now, that he is a good person," Damien explains, not noticing his sister and cousin yet, either. "I know that is why Nyoka was yelling at her on Halloween. . . . And why I haven't spoken to her since. . . ."

Then, he is being nudged, and he looks up, slightly alarmed. Then, his eyes narrow a little when they fall on his sister.

"Budge over, Surion," Nyoka says, plopping down in the bench, and schooting really close to him. "This old cow needs a lot of room," she adds, lifting her arms above her head and stretching in a way that her back arches for a bit.

"What. Are. You. Doing?" Damien says through clenched teeth.

"Nothing, Casnes. Drink your soda," Nyoka says, her eyes twinkling again as she winks at Surion. "So, what are you two so cozy about?" she asks, inching just a little closer to Surion.

Damien can only blink at his sister before he reaches for his glass. . . .

Surion was nearly about to reply when the drink was placed in front of him. And beyond that he was about to take hold of it when he suddenly got sandwiched between the wall and a rather... volumptuous snake-woman, the same one who had been flirting with him before "Oh dear Visha" he squeaks and turns to face hte table once more and though his long bangs covered most of his face the BRIGHT red of his ears poking out of his hair was a sure indication of his current state and he fumbled to grab his drink to try and keep his mind off Nyoka

Aylana sits down beside Damien and crosses her legs "Surely you knew Nyoka works here too" Aylana says offhandedly and then faces Damien "And yes do tell, we are quite curious what drew you from the library's depths"

Nyoka grins just at the sight of red at the tips of Surion's ears. She reaches one of her claws over to flick the tip of his ear gently, before turning her attention back to her brother.

Damien narrows his eyes further at Nyoka. "Nani, if you must know," he says, in a way that indicates that he thinks Nyoka needs to give Surion his space.

This only fuels her fire, and her twinkling eyes move to Aylana. "Oh really?" she asks, turning only her upper body to face Surion. She lifts a brow and smiles charmingly. "I can't believe she let such a handsome thing like you out to a place like this," she says with her blues-y voice, laced with traces of England.

Damien takes another gulp of his drink, unaware of what was put in it. This tastes wretched, he thinks, but he keeps drinking it anyway.

Much to Nyoka's delight. "Anyway," she says, lightly. Even in the little room between her and Surion, she manages to hold her hand out. "I don't believe we have been properly introduced. I am Nyoka, and I am very pleased to meet you, Surion."

She then points to the small spill on the table that Surion made. "Darling, would you like help with your drink?"

Surion's eyes went wide behind his bangs' his ears were nearly as sensitive as Nani's. This seriously didn't help him, sure his horns were dulled by the potion... but not his ears... "Nice to meet you" he squeeked trying to keep facing away from her. His dragonic sense of smell picked up the hint of arrousal from her. Grabbing rather hastily his drink from the table in both an effort to keep her from 'helping' him and to try and distract himself he downs half of it before noticing it doesn't taste quite teh same as the last one...

Aylana looks at Damien "Same topic as halloween?" she asks with a frown and keeps an eye on Nyoka from the corner of her eye

Nyoka holds in a laugh at the squeak, descretely covering her black lips, her dancing eyes moving to Lana again. She reaches out with her mental link to Aylana, and says Wasn't that the cutest thing! I want to squeaze him!

"Yes, the same topic as Halloween," Damien replies, watching his sister carefully. "I had just . . . I . . . well . . . I asked Surion to help keep an eye on Nani with us," he admits hastily, taking another gulp of his drink.

Suddenly, he feels a little dizzy. . . .

Nyoka's tail moves to curl around her, the tip behind her back, twitching a little, probably batting Surion at times in the process. "Well, we could use all the help we can get," she says, glancing at Surion sideways. "Do you think you are up to it?" she asks, her playful voice sobering up a little.

Not much, though. . . . She is still keeping up with her little teasing glances and body language.

Surion gulps and rather rapidly returns to his drink he couldn't focus on the question being asked of him, he too felt a bit dizzy but didn't place it with the drink that was keeping him from saying anything... stupid

I am sure you do, just remember he's taken she smirks softly then focuses on being serious "Surion does seem to be in a rather opportune situation as he seems to be spending more time with Nani then the rest of us, and likely would arrouse less suspicion" The more she thought about that the more she agreed with her brother that asking Surion was a wise move

Aw! Just a LITTLE squeaze? Nyoka asks, a pout in her mental voice.

"Yes, he does," Nyoka admits. "Good job, Casnes."

Damien grumbles incoherently, and drains his drink, feeling progressively more dizzy. "Well, he never fully agreed before the two of you came barging over here, being nosy," he says, a slight slur to his words, that has him blinking.

"Well, let's give him a chance," Nyoka says, turning her upper body again, an arm on the back of the bench behind Surion. "What do you say? Danger is always. . . ." she trails off.

Gods, she is having way too much fun!

Damien narrows his eyes again, and pulls on the front of his tunic, smoothing it out.

Suddenly, he says aloud, "Is anyone else hot? I am bloody hot. . . ."

Nyoka, again, hides a grin. Her mum is going to kill her when she deposites a very drunk Damien in his room, but this will be well worth it. . . .

Aylana rolls her eyes Like the woman you beat up? she hears Damiens words and looks over at Surion "Well? How about it?"

Surion put down his empty glass looking towards Lana with rosey cheeks Oh the joys of alcohols outside of fermented blood wine which had been the only thing he had yet tasted. "How about what" he asks with an obvious slur to his words his eyes flickering back and forth between green and blue constantly and this time it had nothing to do with his anger. "Hot.. like the ladies?" he was most definetaly NOT in his right mind just then

Nooooo! Nyoka's mental voice holds the giggle she is trying to keep in. Just give him a squishy hug. . . . She winks at Aylana playfully.

"No!" Damien says loudly, flapping his shirt now, trying to get a breeze. "Hot, as in I think I need to take this blasted shirt off!"

Nyoka has to laugh now. Through her laughter, she says, "Do it," with a nonchalant shrug.

Forget her mum, Rhiannon might kill her!

"Fine, I will!" Damien says, and fumbles with the buttons on his tunic. Finally free, he has the presence of mind to fold the silk tunic and set it on top of his cape.

Nyoka then lifts a brow at Surion. "So, we are hot, are we?" she asks, an evil grin twitching at her lips, begging to be released. "Would you do me the favor of dancing with me? Later. When you seem to have regained the full use of your vocabulary?" She tilts her head to the side as she studies his face.

Nyoka, you are positively terrible She does giggle and shake her head. "Now isn't that better, not stifling inside your shirt..." Okay maybe she'd have a little fun too, just in a rather different way. She sits so that there is an unobstructed view between the people on the dance floor and Damien

Surion smirks "Dancing, why wait, no need talk to dance, no need vocabu.. whatever to dance" His eyes, or rather the one eye that wasn't covered by his long dark bangs look towards Nyoka

"Yes," Damien says, speaking loudly again. His reptilian eyes scan the dance floor. "That looks a little fun. . . ." he tells Aylana, pulling his hair back again, and twisting it.

Why did he leave all his clips and things at home?

Nyoka slides off of the bench, and slips up on her tail. She leans on the table with her hands, and looks at Surion with a slightly down-cast face, cocking an eyebrow again. "Do you think you can keep up with me, darling?" she asks, the evil grin starting to show a little.

Damien looks at his sister, and shakes his head, before turning to Aylana. "Teach me some . . . dancing," he says, his words steadily becoming a bit more slurred.

Surion smirks "Anything possible" he slides out of the booth and stands up swaying a little before he manages to use his tail as a balancer

Aylana smiles "Okay I suppose I could do that for my brother..." She stands and turns on her heal once he's standing, she takes his hand and walks into the crowd and onto the dancefloor

Nyoka smiles fully now, and holds out her hand for Surion to take. "I'll teach you a thing or two about dancing. . . ." she says, in a way that could make someone think she doesn't mean dance floor dancing.

Damien is grinning now, albeit crookedly, and he holds on to Aylana's hand. He stumbles a little in his long strides, and curses at a tile at least once on his way onto the dance floor.

He then looks at Aylana, expectantly.

Surion smirks "O-kay" he says wondering just how much she could actually 'teach' him

Goddess, maybe Nyoka should be the one to teach him she thinks. She looks at the rather expectant teen, surely he had to know something.. She looks towards Nyoka and then mimicing many around her moves tot he music

Surion is in for a surprize. There is a reason why she gets the biggest tips out of all the dancers. When she moves, she is hypnotic. It is the snake in her.

Her small wings unfurl, and she begins dancing in perfect time with the music. She puts all her charming into it . . . just for the fun of it.

Damien looks around him, and then back at Aylana. This doesn't look so hard! Damien thinks. Besides, I am a quick study.

The only thing, really, going for him is the natural elven grace that is in his blood. But, because of the 'Mountain Dew,' he is pretty much cutting a wide circle around him. . . .

Surion grinned, he certainly wasn't as hypnotic a dancer as she was... but he certainly wan't a bad dancer either. He picked things up quickly and he had had 3 good teachers so far... Nani, Silent and Tari.


Aylana watches Damien as he dances, she too was dancing, but she certainly wasn't very close to Damien. She had to surpress a laugh at his drunken attempt at dancing

Nyoka moves a little closer, and winks at Surion, before turning her back on him a moment. She grins at one of the women in front of her as she gets a little closer to her.

Yes, she loves dance floors. The only time that peopel forget differences and just dance with whoever is around them. . . .

Damien tones down his movements, if only just a little, as he dances. Now he understands why Nyoka would always go out to clubs! Dancing is freeing. . . .

So, he allows himself to get lost in the music, and closes his eyes.

When he isn't concentrating so hard, he is actually a great deal better at dancing. . . . . He still over-elaborates on some moves, though.

Surion closes his own eyes moving his body to the music, his long hair falling over much of his face as he moved. The drink he had consumed making him relaxed and loose.

Aylana moves closer to Damien as his actions become a little less exagerated, she runs her hands along her sides letting the music take her over as best as possible

Nyoka tilts her head to the side, in a way pointing the girl to Surion.

She winks, and dances her way toward him. When she is behind him, the woman dances closer, as Nyoka moves back a little. She takes the time to look for Aylana and Damien, then. She laughs when she sees Damien, shirtless, dancing.

Aylana, are you as amused as I am? About the both of them? she asks through their mental link.

Surion opens his eyes and notices the approaching female

Very much so, not something to be lived down She moves out of the way inviting another female dancer to take her place, one who seemed very confident in her moves... and dances close

The other woman swoops in, and takes Nyoka spot, while Nyoka starts to slowly make her way toward Aylana.

Definitely, she replies to Aylana, a smirk on her face now, her eyes still dancing.

This new woman is bolder than Nyoka had been, and is right up close to Sur now, swaying her hip in a very suggestive manner.

Nyoka just shakes her head, and glances over at Damien. . . .

. . . . Who has opened his eyes, and is staring, dumbly, at the new woman.

Where did Aylana go? he thinks, glancing around. This could get very - sweet goddess! What is she DOING?

Surion purrs looking at her with slightly narrowed eyes, a hand moving to rest on her hip as he matched her movements.

Aylana moves next to her sister leaving Damien with the female who had taken her place Now this should be interesting... Who would have thought a little alcohol would make him loosen up so... she smirks

The woman chuckles, and puts her arms up to rest on Surion's shoulders. She angles her body where the top half is a bit away from him, and the bottom half is closest to him, and continues dancing, todding her long hair out of her face.

Oh please, both of them, I think. . . . Nyoka nudges Aylana with her elbow, and laughs aloud. You and I have plenty of experience in the beauties of alcohol. And the bad aspects. . . .

Damien is still unsure of what he is supposed to do. He takes a step back, his foggy brain trying to push his thoughts to Rhiannon. But, the music is helping the 'Mountain Dew' in mucking up his thinking. He starts to dance again, though at a little distance away from the new girl.

Surion looks into her eyes , he made no effort to move away from her his hand moving from her hip to the small of her back

You dont have to remind me, I know she laughs and shakes her head nudging Nyoka right back

The woman gives Damien a sultry pout and moves closer to Damien, right up close, so that the cool mesh of her chainmail top is touching his bare chest her arms moving to loop his neck

The woman lifts a brow, and smiles at Surion, tightening her hold on him a little.

Well, now, we will have something to remind THEM of, Nyoka gives a wicked chuckle. "Speaking of," she starts, and stretches again. "I owe Lana a kiss, and maybe I can weasle a drink from her. Care to join me, sis?" she asks.

Damien's eyes move from her face, to the top currently sending cold rushes up his spine. Oh, goddess, dear Eilistraee, help me, he thinks, closing his eyes, and swallowing hard.

He takes another small step back, just so the . . . revealing chain-mail is not against him. His dancing has slowed, and he starts to look around for an escape. Though, this might not be too noticable. He doesn't want to offend the woman. . . .

Surion chuckles and dances with her, he doesn't notice Damien's attempts to get away from his dance partner

Aylana smiles and nods, turning on her heal she heads for the bar "Don't mind if I do... I need to give her my own thanks"

"Well you are no fun" she pouts and leans closer in whispering into his ear "Dancing is funner close..." her fingers playing with his long hair

The woman leans in, and purrs something for only Surion to hear. She then pulls back a little and grins at him.

Nyoka follows. Once at the bar, she repays her debt, although Lana might have been taking advantage of the situation, as the kiss was turned into something that it wasn't supposed to be.

"Bad, Lana," Nyoka smiles when she is settled on the stool. "You know I have a boyfriend. Now, I think I would like a vodka, please," she says.

While she waits for her drink, Nyoka looks over at Aylana. "So, you going to join me on my platform later for a dance?" she teases.

"Erm," Damien says, now really looking for an escape. "It's hot," he says, lamely. Just what he needs, a blush now! It's the ear, always the damn ear. . . . He gently takes his hair from the woman's hand, and smiles slightly. "Erm. . . . How about . . . . We just dance a little far apart, and then see if it naturally progresses?" He is suprized that the slurred words are even leaving his lips, with the way that his muddled brain is working at the moment.

The one smart thing Surion did that evening, he shakes his head "I have someone" he replies to her whispered words

Aylana shoots her sister a 'yeah right' look "I do not think so Nyoka, you are the charmer" she smirks and takes a seat watching the dance floor

The woman frowns and lets Damien go "I think I will find someone who will actually dance" she turns and heads for a male dancing solo who she knew had been watching her and presses her body to him

The woman pouts. "Aw," she says, shaking her head as she stops dacing. "No point in sticking around then. I guess I will find someone else willing to play." She winks, and dances off.

Nyoka chuckles. "I am sure you would do fine," she says, getting that evil twinkle in her eyes. With a giggle, she grabs Aylana's arms, and they disappear.

A moment later, they are on her platform, and Nyoka starts to dance with Aylana, cackling now.

Damien, thouroughly relieved, makes his way back to the booth he was sitting in earlier. He plops down, and orders a water. He needs to cool off.

Surion shrugs and with a drunk grin wanders back to the booth as well sitting once again across from Damien

Ayana's gasped finding herself on the stage, her eye widened as she looked around her... "Nyoka!" she practically hissed a note of panic in her voice as she stood there. Her heart beat much faster and she would have loved to have been invisible right then.

Damien smiles a little when Surion comes back. He looks around as he says, "I hope you had more fun than I did. . . . "

And he stops there when he sees his sister on the platform, dancing, and the people around her whistling, giving her money.

Nyoka is still giggling, and dancing in her hypnotic way."Come on, Aylana. You will get a fatter tip tonight!"

"Fun enough" he grins "Lets go upstairs it's quieter" he was still very tipsy but was cognative

The look in Aylana's eyes... Half was panic and half... Oh if looks could kill Nyoka would have been dead ten times over. "You are so dead" She spoke to Nyoka in her mind and desperately tried to find a descreet way off the stage

"Alright," Damien says, standing and waiting for Surion to lead the way.

"I can die later," Nyoka replies. "But now, if you don't start dancing, I will throw you to the groping hands." And she spins in place, turning up the hypnotic quality a few notches.

Surion grabs his cloak and stands once more heading for the stairs that go up into the VIP lounge, He passes the bouncer there and motions Damien to follow.

Aylana shot Nyoka a look "I'd like to see you try" She starts for the side of the stage intent on getting out of dancing, this was Nyoka's field of practise not hers

Damien follows without even grabbing up his things. He nods to the bouncer on the way.

Chuckling, Nyoka wips out her tail, hoping to make Aylana stumble a little, and into the waiting arms of a crowd of women with their hands up.

Surion walks into the empty lounge, and drops onto an armchair "Now... what did you wanna talk ta me about?" he asked... He knew Damien wanted... something

Aylana's eyes went wide feeling the tail hit her ankle "Nyoka!" she cried out as she fell in what almost felt like slow motion heading in just the same direction Nyoka hoped.

Damien blinks, and looks at Surion, confused, when he sinks into an armchair closeby. "Oh," he says, blinking as dawning enters his eyes. "Did you ever make up your mind about helping us keep an eye on Nani?"

Nyoka throws back her head and gives a throaty laugh, before accepting more tips. "Surf her back to the bar, people!" she says. "She needs to get back to work!"

Surion had to think for a moment as well before it clicked "Yeah, I'll watch out for her too..." he says decidedly with a nod, relaxing in the quiet room thankful to get away from teh beat that was giving him a alcohol-headache

"You are so dead!" sHe speaks into Nyoka's mind as she feels herself being carried back towards the bar, More then one person got a 'look' when she got groped and more then once she came close to decking them

"Good," Damien nods, drunkly. "Because, she doesn't see how deep in it she is. She could be in great danger. . . ."

Nyoka merely sticks her tongue out at Aylana and continues taking her tips.

Surion nods slowly and speaks seriously "I would protect Nani with all that I am and all that I have"

Aylana gave her sister a look as her feet finally touch the floor again, feathes ruffling she stalks off into the back... ooo her sister was so going to get it later......

"Good to hear," Damien says, brushing his hair back over his shoulders again. "Things might get ugly, though. These are really baaaaaaaad people," henods again.

Nyoka continues dancing.

"When don't think get ugly when dealing with those who are bad to the bone" Surion asks, the talk of Nani being in danger seemed to sober him up a little

Damien shrugs, and leans back in the arm chair, his head hanging over the back. "Well, if you think that she is going to be doing something stupid, just stop her. Or, if you can't, just let my sister know. She can stop her. . . ." he closes his eyes, feeling a little drowsy.

Surion nods now wanting to see his love... "Hey I think I'm gonna head out, you are welcome to stay if you want, I'm sure Silver can accomodate ya..." he stands up catchng his balance before looking down at Damien

Damien's eyes snap open. "No, I think I am going to go home as well . . ." he says. He starts looking for her shirt. And cloak.

"Well, as soon as I find my clothes. . . . I think it is still cold outside," he says, and stands as well. He sways a little bit as well, but he manages to keep his balance.

"It was good talking to you, and thank you for your help," he says, smiling crookedly.

Surion pulls his cloak around his shoulder and pulls the hoverdisc from his pocket "I think you .. left yer close at the booth" he smirks slightly "And anything for Nani's safety..." he heads for the door disappearing from sight into the crowd of moving bodies

Damien nods. "Thanks," he says, before Surion disappears.

Then, he goes to look for his clothes.

Surion's Scribbles

Dear Journal

Oh dear Visha I will never drink Mountain Dew again... It was either the pop... or the fact I drank it too fast, but... I dont think that visit to the club went like I planned... She flirted with me... The snake woman flirted with me... Nyoka I think her name was... Theres spots in my eve I don't quite remember all that clearly... I think I should avoid telling Nani though...

New Years Eve Clubbin

Tinania had just gotten off work, it had been one of those days where she just wanted to forget. She was walking along with Tara and Celia like always heading back towards her home "So we on for tonight Nani? "

Tinania looks up and nods "Yea.." she didn't have the slightest clue what she just agree to. "So call Surion girl that way you can get ready for the club.." Tinania frowns then sighs "Okay, okay.." she dials the number wishing now she had been listening, she rather just be sleeping.

Surion had his new cell, He was leaning back against his headboard when it rang, he smiled and reached tot he side table grabbing it and taking a double check to see who it was then turned it on "Hello" he said cheerfully

Tinania smiles hearing his voice "Hey Sur sweetie, Tara and Celia want me to ask you if you wanted to go clubbing with us tonight, but if your busy then you don't have to." she yelped alittle when Celia pushed her alittle.

Glaring at them she sighs, she really didn't need this right now, not from her friends anyways. She stepped away from them "So do you want to come?"

Surion smiled putting aside the alchemy book he had been looking at "Of course love, I'd love to join you. He couldn't help but smile remembering the first time they had gone clubbing "Should I meet you somewhere?"

Tinania frowns alittle, she sort of hoped he had said no. Looking over at the girls she nods who both smile waving to her as they head into the village.

Shaking her head she sighs again "Yea, if you want you can meet me at my home. I'm just heading home from work..." she walked along the path in the forest slowly, mostly because she just wasn't in the mood to hurry home just yet.

"Ok love" he said frowning slightly hearing her sigh, was she not wanting to do this? he held back his own sigh and spoke instead "I should be there soon, just have to change and tell mum"

Tinania closes her eyes "Okay, I'll see you in a bit." hanging the phone up she walked along the path heading for home, her mind going back to today's event.

Frowning she blocked the memory out then looked at her bandaged hand before coming to the clearing. She stopped when she saw her mother's car pull up. "Nani hey sweetie.."

Tinania walked up giving her mother a hug smiling alittle "Hey mum home from work early?" Krista smiles shaking her head "No just coming home quick to get something to eat."

Surion closed the phone and thought for a few minutes and then dropped the phone on the bed heading to change, he perused his selection and mused to himself he needed some more variety. Eventually just going with a normal and changed black jeans and a silk shirt black this time., he grabbed up the phone and the hover disc and hurried out he room "Mom I'm going out with Nani" he called out

Ala poked her head from the kitchen, "All right, call if you are going to be too late" she said with a nod

Surion nodded "Will do" he promised and headed out the door enlarging the disc on his way and then heading into the air

Tinania smiles walking up the stairs to the house "That cool, mum would you be upset with me if I took a break from teaching for awhile?" she looked down biting her bottom lip.

Krista looked at her then shook her head "No sweetie I wouldn't why on earth would you think I would be?" Tinania shrugs then smiles "No reason mum." she hugs her mother as they walk into the house. "Oh I'm going to head out tonight with Surion, Celia and Tara." she placed her books down on the counter then heads upstairs.

Surion soon landed and shrunk the disc sticking it in a pocket, he looked p at the building and smiled "One day I'll have a nice big house of my own too" he mused softly and then headed up to the door and knocked on it

Krista smiles looking out the window, seeing Surion she heads over to the door opening it "Hey Surion, Tinania upstairs getting ready. Although pre warning you, something wrong, she acting alittle strange." nodding she heads back into the kitchen to finish putting her fruit salad together.

Tinania sat on her bed unwrapping her hand, she frowns looking at the nasty wound, if she had been paying attention this wouldn't had happen. She frowns closing her eyes "Kira gonna be upset with me for sure.."

Surion came in with her "I sensed something like that on the phone..." he told Krista "Thankyou for the warning, maybe I can cheer her up" he nodded his head. He looked towards the stairs and headed for them soon knocking on her door

Tinania glanced at the door then quickly wrapping her hand back up she walked over to the closet looking though it "Its open.." she kept her hand hidden as she pulled out blue hipster leather trim flare jeans tossing them into the chair.

Surion pushed the door open and entered glancing around till he saw her and smiled "Hi Nani" he greeted her

Tinania looks over her shoulder and smiles "Hey sorry I'm not ready, I should be ready in a few minutes." she turned back looking though her shirts debating what would look good. Forgetting she lifts her wrapped hand to run it though her hair only to wince.

Surion was turning to look away but her wrapped hand caught the corner of his eye, he frowned and stared for a moment "Nani? What did you do to your hand?"

Nani looks away then shakes her head "Just a mistake I did during class, its nothing serious, just alittle burned that all.." she went quiet then tried to change the subject "Which shirt do you think would look good with those jeans?"

Surion bit his lower lip lightly not replying to the question of the shirts "I see... a burn sounds serious to me..." he sighed and turned wandering across her room a little. He paused and then finally answered her question "all of your clothing looks good, but I'd say something that flatters your already attractive self would be nice"

Tinania smiles alittle then looks away walking over to him she wraps her arms around him burying her face in his chest closing her eyes "Surion I wasn't doing what I was suppose to, I was too busy trying to show off because of this new teacher, and I messed up.." she pauses looking down at her hand "I'm so foolish.."

Surion sighed softly wrapping his arms around her "Nani, we all make mistakes, we all do things we shouldn't you and I both know that from experience, you aren't foolish, you simply had something happen that gives a lesson to learn by." He pulled a hand from her back and moved it till it lightly touched hers

Tinania nods looking at his hand touching hers "I know, but its not like me, but ugh...he was making me so mad with his I know everything...then he kept teasing me calling me a child.." she clenched her teeth then frowns. "It was such a bad day..."

Surion nodded "Just cause one likes to brag doesn't mean it's true, one who knows what they are doing shouldn't have to brag, their actions will speak louder then their words" he ran hid fingertips lightly along the back of her wrapped hand as his gem began to glow

Tinania lays her head on his chest "I know, that what makes me feel so foolish. I didn't even think I just reacted. Ended up mixing two of the wrong potions together." she laughs alittle "If Kira doesn't fire me I'll be surprise.."

Surion chuckled softly "If she fires you then she's the fool, you are a fine teacher Nani. And one mistake isn't grounds for dismissal" he kissed her forehead softly, he was still healing her hand and didn't really think about the factor that the strongest point that the healing energy came from was the lips when it was active

Tinania smiles then wiggles her fingers alittle something she hadn't been able to do earlier. Looking at him she kisses his lips lightly "Thank you, for making a bad day better.."

Surion's gem faded as the last of the burn healed and his hand held hers. He returned the kiss softly before replying "I try love, because I hate to see you upset, you are beautiful when you smile, and a upset mood doesn't lead to anything but forced smiles"

Tinania giggles then kisses him again before pulling away "You always know what to say to get me to laugh." turning she looks at the closet "I still don't know what shirt to wear, I normal wear my lavender corset top, but.." she stop not finishing the sentence for some reason then looks at the pants "Maybe I shouldn't wear the pants, maybe another pair.."

Surion laughed and sat down on the edge of her bed waiting "Love, you look radiant in anything, so you pick"

Tinania blushes rolling her eyes at him. Slipping out of her dress then pulling the jeans on she stood there looking over her tops. She wanted something sexy, but wouldn't have all the guys on her while trying to dance, not that it would matter, she be dancing with Surion.

Surion fidgeted slightly watching her and glancing about her room he wasn't going to pick her outfit, he had yet to see her wear something he didn't like

Slipping her bra off she tossed it over her shoulder at him before pulling out her dark red Grecian style beaded top. Turning around she smiles "Well what do you think?"

Surion hadn't expected the cloth to come flying at him and leaned to one side as it sailed past his shoulder and onto the bed behind him, he looked her up and down and smiled widely "You look wonderful Nani" he got up and walked towards her

Tinania giggles slipping the top over her head then places her hands on her hips, watching him she blushes "Thank you...Its hard choosing clothes now because I always want to look great for you..."

"Nani, you'd look great in any piece of clothing you wear, I don't think I've seen you wear anything I don't like" he grinned wrapping his arms around her when he reached her

Tinania places her hands on his chest then blushes again "Okay mister stop trying to make me blush.." she kisses his cheek then pulls away to pull on her matching dark red strappy heels.

Looking him over she turns away not wanting to think about what had been running though her head all day. "Okay I think I'm ready.."

"But you are cute when you blush" he grinned and then waited for her to finish up before offering her his arm "If you are ready then lets mozy"

Tinania slips her hand though his as she grabs her cell phone off her desk. Placing it in her back pocket she smiles "Okay lets go, I know the other two are waiting for us by now."

Sure enough when they get downstairs there would be Celia and Tara waiting by the door.

Surion smiled seeing Nani's friends "Hi guys" he greeted them as he neared them

Tara waves as Celia frowns placing her hands on her bare hips "What took you two so long, were you making out or something?" she glances at Tinania who was glaring at her.

Tara shakes her head pushing Celia alittle "Anyways Nani your mum wanted me to let you know she wasn't coming home tonight and maybe for the next few days she was going to stay at work. Something big happen.."

Tinania eyes light up then smiles "Okay that kewl.." she glanced over at Surion blushing. Tara arches a brow then laughs.

Surion chuckled softly they still liked to tease, well that's ok, he would live with that "And who said we weren't making out" he winked at Nani coyly as he teased, sure they had kissed but not THAT much

Tinania groans then pushes Surion "Oh don't feed her fire..." she looks at Tara who gave her that look before smiling. "So are we going or not?"

Celia laughs then opens the door "I'll meet you three outside... " Tara smiles looking at Surion "Hey can I have a moment with her Sur, we'll meet you outside okay?"

Surion nodded slipping from her arm and wandered outside following Celia towards the vehicle a smile on his face

Tinania watched as they both left then looked at Tara "What did you have to ask me?" her wings fluttered alittle as she stood there.

Tara smiles walking over to her "Your debating aren't you about our talk. And now your mom not going to be home. Why not ask him, you know you been wanting to since your first date.."

Tinania blushes "I'm still thinking about it Tara, I don't want to make a fool of myself" Tara laughs "Nani if he doesn't want you the way you want him then girl give up.." she pokes her.

Surion hummed softly he was happy and as usual turned on by Nani's appearance that evening, "Same club as last time?" he asked Celia making small talk as he climbed in to wait for Nani

Celia looked over nodding "Yup same club, and its ladies night which is even better." she winks then leans against the car.

Tinania blushes then takes Tara's arms "I'll know tonight if I should right now I just want to get to the club" she pulls her toward the door laughing.

Tara smiles nodding to the other two "Okay come let go were late" she jumps into the drivers seat as Nani climbs into the back.

Surion nodded and smiled seeing the pair come out, "We're never late, everyone else is early" he joked and reached taking Nani's hand as she settled in her seat

Tinania smiles looking at him then crawls over to sit in his lap kissing him lightly her fingers running along his cheek. "Love you"

Tara laughs as they turn heading down the street into Barton town. Turning the music up she sung along with it. Celia was too busy putting on makeup to really notice.

Surion smiles looking into her eyes "Love you too Nani" he purrs softly returning her kiss, he had no complaints that she was in his lap rather then doing makeup like her friend

Tinania smiles then turns looks at Celia "Hey girl can I borrow your lip gloss please? Forgot mine at home..." Celia laughs then turns handing it to her. Pulling the lid top off her rubs the lip gloss onto her lip then hands it back.

Tara looks over at Celia for a moment then rolls her eyes "Let me guess your man gonna be there tonight?" Celia laughs then nods "Yea so? Least he not working like yours?"

Tinania rolls her eyes then looks at Surion moving in his lap alittle to just tease him "So what did you do all day?"

Surion shrugs "Not much, did my chores, spent some time on glitchen with Tez..., relaxed, and read some more about alchemy" he tells her

Tinania giggles then leans in nibbling on his ear "Didn't think about me at all?" she runs her hand along his inner thigh just to see how he would react.

Tara turns down the street only to start cursing in Elven "I don't believe this everyone here tonight.." she frown then relaxes as they had to wait in traffic.

Celia giggles then pulls out her eyeliner "Good means I could finish putting my makeup on." Tara looks at Celia then shakes her head "Celia you really to learn natural beauty works real well.."

Surion closes his eyes a catch in his breath "That goes without saying" he squeaks

Tinania smiles then runs her finger alittle higher "I know I just hearing you say you are.." she kisses him lightly then relaxes placing her hands in her lap.

Tara taps her fingers along to the beat playing off the radio as Celia pulls out a brush running it though her hair.

"Ok then... I thought about you all the time" he says and bites his lip shivering at her touch. "You are a tease" he whispers to her when she relaxes

Tinania looks at him then smiles before turning to look towards the club. She sighs then shakes her head "Its gonna be packed tonight.."

Tara looks back at her before moving up more, there was all of five car in front of them then they could get into the underground parking "True but at least we don't have to wait in line. Plus there always vip.."

"This place is popular isn't it" Surion muses watching the amount of traffic, "I'm not surprised it is"

Tinania smiles then nods "Yup this place was pretty dull but now its become a huge hit. I know my sister and Silver our happy they finally got it the way they want." she pushes some hair from her face.

Tara nods agreeing "Yea it give us a place to hang out which is nice. Sometimes the estate boring when you have to deal with the elders." she smiles when they finally pull into the underground parking lot heading towards the vip parking.

Celia places all her makeup back into the bag then turns toward Tinania and Surion "Yea but then its also a great place to meet guys.." she winks as Tinania rolls her eyes.

Surion laughs "I don't think I need to worry about doing that" he wraps his arms around Nani and nuzzles the side of her neck

Tinania giggles then smiles when they pull into a parking spot. Looking at Surion she kisses him lightly then climbs out.

Tara was next to follow then Celia. Celia pulls her shirt down alittle as Tara rolls her eyes "What am I not allowed to look good?" she pushes Tara who just laughs.

Surion follows Nani out of the car giving his head a light shake settling his hair "All women have that right" He says with a smile and moves next to Nani lightly wrapping an arm around her waist

Tinania looks at Surion's blushing alittle then looks back to Celia "Yea but she takes it over the top sometimes.." she winks at Celia who just stuck her tongue out at her.

Tara laughs then places her hand on her hip "Are we gonna stay out here all night or are we gonna go inside and dance?" she turns heading towards the door. Celia following after her.

Tinania laughs then turns to Surion "Ready to dance?"

"Certainly am" he says with a laugh motioning for her to lead the way "Ladies first"

Celia and Tara had already made it pass the bouncer as Tinania walks up. She smiles then leans in giving him a quit peck on the cheek "Hey how the music tonight?"

Robert smiles then gives her a hug "Its your kind of music sis so have fun okay?" he winks then steps aside to let them pass.

Surion eyes the bouncer holding back a low growl, he didn't want Nani to hear it. He nods to the bouncer as they pass and relaxes after

Tinania looks back at Surion then smiles "That was Robert, he like a big brother to me. He knocked a few guys out for me because they wouldn't leave me alone.." she turns back just as they reached the main floor. It was packed.

Tara was waiting by the door, she smiles grabbing Tinania and Surion's hands "Come on you two we don't need you to get lost in the crowd.." she helps them though the people towards there normal booth.

Surion laughs as Tara pulls them both along accepting Nani's explanation without question. "Man it is crowded" he muses loudly

Tinania nods then falls into the booth laying down laughing "Okay why did we come tonight?" she shakes her head looking up at everyone.

Tara smiles then shrugs "Because its fun, and you need to have some fun.." she winks then leans down kissing Tinania's cheek "I'm heading out to the dance floor..Celia already out there." she turns then winks to Surion "Try to get her out there soon.."

Surion laughs "I will... even if I have to carry her there" he grins then looks towards Nani moving closer to her

Tinania laughs then looks up at him "Oh really your gonna carry me to the dance floor?" she sits up resting on her elbows watching him.

"If I have to" he laughs "I'd rather you just join me of your own free will though" he tells her

Tinania smiles then sits up completely wrinkling her nose "I don't know what fun is anymore. I should be at home preparing for class tomorrow.." she looks out at the dance floor licking her bottom lip. It had been a long time since she gone dancing.

"Class will always be there.... But this night wont" he says and reached offering her a hand

Looking up at him Tinania smiles then shakes her head taking his hand "Okay okay I'll try having fun again.." she stands then leans in kissing him lightly.

Surion purrs and pulls her even closer against himself deepening the kiss and holding it for a moment "My Nani" he says softly looking into her eyes

Tinania smiles running her finger along his cheek then nods "Yup always your Nani.." she turns then pulls his hand "Come on before I change my mind and sit back down.."

Surion laughs and follows after her rather eager to show her all he'd picked up from his previous visits to the club

Tinania heads down to the dance within seconds the music had already taken over her body. It was moving seductively next to Tara. Sure enough guys were watching like always.

Celia was dancing with her man but grabbed Tara pulling her to her as Tinania went to floor moving her body in ways that would cause men to believe she would be good at other things.

Surion didn't stray far from the group of females, he watched Nani much like others purring softly as he did, but he also moved to the beat of the music

Tinania looks up at him her eyes were a mixture of emerald green and a dark blue. Walking up to Surion she goes to the ground again but then turns coming back up her body bottom half rubbing against him pants as she danced in front of him.

Tara and Celia stopped dancing only to watch Tinania. Mostly from shock, they never seen Tinania so daring as she danced. Seductive yes but daring and seductive no.

Surion smiles purring, he puts one hand in the small of her back matching her movements keeping his eyes on hers as he did

Tinania wraps one arm around his neck locking her eyes with his as she moved against him. She turned in his arms so her back was to him as she leaned forward moving against Surion once more.

Tara jaw dropped shaking her head before looking to Celia who eyes widen. Tara leans towards Celia whispering "I have a feeling she testing him..."

Surion licks his bottom lip he let his body take the control of exactly where to move he runs his hands down her sides coming to rest on her hips when she faces away from him.

Tinania smiles leans back up still rocking her body against his, her hands on top of his but moving them up her body. Her eyes were slightly closed.

Tara and Celia along with many of the other around them stopped dancing just watching them. Many of them knew Tinania as a friend and were in shocked to see how she was dancing.

Surion somewhat blocked out the fact that there was anyone around them, People watching were the least on his mind right then. He lets her move his hands tipping his head a lil kisses softly at her neck not caring if his silver streaked blue hair slid hiding parts of his face

Tinania gasps then turned in his arms once more pulling him close for a kiss with one hand as she used her other hand to guide his hands back down to place on her bottom. She continued to move against him.

Tara and Celia laughed then looked at each other nodding. Celia leaned in then winks as she whisper to Tara "If Surion lets the music flow though him I can bet these two would be in bed tonight.."

Surion purrs loudly deepening the kiss happily resting his hands on her bottom after all it kept her close to him and not someone else

She broke away only to catch some air just as the song finished. She blushes looking up at him her finger running along his cheek.

Tara and Celia walk up to them grinning from ear to ear. Celia winks then nods "You two looked like you were having fun.."

Surion smiles back down at her looking up only when he hears Celia's voice realizing once again there were people around them and blushes lightly

Tinania giggles then turns in Surion's arms "Well I had a great partner... what can I say.." she looks up at Surion then kisses his chin. "I'm gonna go sit, stay if you like okay?" she leaves his arms then heads towards the booth.

Celia smiles then heads back to dancing with her guy as the next song started. Tara smiles then pushes her hair back "You know you two matched perfectly move for move. It looked like you were thinking of something other then dancing.."

Surion blushes "Maybe we were, hard to say, I kinda forgot where I was for a time" he looks in the direction Nani went not wanting to be rude to Tara but thinking about following Nani

Tinania laid back down in the booth looking up at the ceiling. She couldn't believe she danced like that, she wasn't even too sure where it came from. She pushed her shirt up to cool off alittle as she closed her eyes.

Tara smiles then nods "Yea cause I bet if you think about it, her mind was on a bedroom." when she see him following Tinania with his eyes she nods "Go on, you should be with her.. have fun.." winking she turns and heads back to dance with Celia.

Surion blushes for a moment then turns and heads through the crowd pushing his hair over his ear and dodges dancing figures till he reaches the table "Hi love" he greets her with a smile

Tinania opens her eyes then smiles "Hey sorry but after that dance I need a break..." she wrinkles her nose then sits up a little. "You know you can go back and dance I don't mind.."

"Nah, the person I want to dance with isn't out there, so I think I'll just sit here" he gives a playful grin and sits down in a nearby chair

Tinania blushes then lays back down pushing her hair from her face "Man why did I wear this top? I forgot how hot I get in it.." she unlaces it alittle which only caused her to reveal her chest alittle more.

Sitting up alittle she giggles "Oh and who this person you want to dance with?"

Surion gets up and pulls his chair closer, "Well, she's beautiful, blonde haired, and wearing a lace-up top which she says is too hot"

Tinania blushes then wrinkles her nose "I see...hmm she sound like she pretty hott.." she runs her leg along the inside of his leg then up alittle further.

"Oh she is, more then I think she sometimes admits" he said i a mock serious tone purring loudly running the tip of his finger along the top of her leg

Tinania laughs watching his finger then looked back up at him, her voice came out as a whisper yest very seductive "Hmm maybe because she likes hearing it from a guy who she crazy for.." her foot moves further to rub against his inner thigh.

"Oh that wouldn't shock me" he grins and closes his eyes feeling her touch as his purrs continue

Sitting up she leans forward her fingers now running up his inner thigh "And what would shock you?" her eyes were locked with his.

"If she decided she never needed to hear it or didn't want to..." He looks back into her eyes with a grin

Tinania grins then looks down at her hand then was only a few inches from the top of his pants. She glanced back at him then shakes her head "I doubt she would ever say that to you..."

Surion purrs "Somehow I have to agree" he says as his tail comes around his side and the tip trails along the side of her arm, he made no effort to stop her hand or move it from where it was

Tinania shivers hen before she even reaches the top of his pant she stops pulling her hand back watching his tail. "Hmmm how would he react if he knew that she wanted him right now where they are sitting. Would he be in shock?" she looks back at him, her eyes were switching between aqua blue to emerald green.

"He may mildly, only due to the part that talks about right where he is sitting right that moment" he smirks playfully

Tinania blushes then looks away "I see, well what if she was to say she wanted him and hopefully soon. But wasn't going to push him?" she looks back at him licking her bottom lip.

"I think he would purr softly and lean forward and kiss her after telling her his feelings were the same" He says leaning his elbows on his knees

Tinania tilts her head her lips parting alittle "Really?"

"Mmmhmm" he smiles at her "Yeah really" he admits with a content smile as he watched her

Tinania blushes looking down then laughs alittle "Okay now I'm the shocked one.." she pushes her hair from her face not looking up.

Surion laughs "And why is that?" he asks reaching a hand and tipping her head back up to face him once more

Tinania laughs alittle then kisses his finger before running her finger along his bottom lip "Because I expected you to say you weren't ready after last time?"

"Time changes, and we mature" he admits and kisses her finger before closing his lips around her fingertip sucking on it

Tinania gasps closing her eyes biting her bottom lip alittle "That is true..." she opens her eyes looking at him then to his lip.

Surion lets go of her finger "So now what Nani my love, are we just sitting here or?"

Tinania tilts her head looking at him "Or?" she pushes her hand though her hair pulling it out of its ponytail.

"Or dancing? or disappearing to somewhere more quiet?" he chuckles softly

Tinania smiles then leans in brushing her lips against his alittle "I'll let you decide" she runs her hand over the top of his pant then pulls back smiling.

Surion ponders this for a moment "we could dance one more song together, then go hide out where it's quieter" he says

Tinania looks back toward the dance floor then back to him running her finger along his chin "Okay we can just go straight to hiding out. I'm not up for dancing right now.." she looks at his lips then looks back up into his eyes.

Surion chuckles "As my love desires" he says lifting a hand and taking hold of hers and kisses her fingertips

Tinania giggles as she stand, she leans in kissing him lightly then pulls away looking towards the stairs to VIP. "Shall we head upstairs to chat?"

Surion nods "And kiss" he adds with a purr "Ladies first"

Tinania giggles then wrinkles her nose "Now who said we would do that?" turning she walks up the stairs to vip.

Like always no one was up there, she heads over to the same couch like last time taking a seat then looks at him.

Surion drops onto the couch beside her, "This brings back memories" he says with a grin

Tinania blushes then nods "Yes it does.. alot of good memories. I was so nervous to be around you.." she giggles pushing her hair from her face.

"You aren't now, least I don't think so" he smiles and reaches over running a finger along the side of her face along her hair

Tinania smiles closing her eyes shaking her head alittle "Not anymore, if anything I'm very comfortable around you.." she opens her eyes then giggles as she turns her face to bite his finger lightly.

Surion purrs and chuckles then scoots closer to her

Tinania giggles then pokes his side "So...."

"So what?" he asks leaning over to kiss her on the cheek

Tinania giggles then runs her finger along his chin "Hmmm.." she leans in brushing her lips against his.

"Now you are teasing me" he says softly looking into her eyes

Tinania giggles tiling her head to the side "I am...and here I thought I was just kissing you.." she leans in kissing him again her hand resting on his cheek.

"Now you are" he purrs and returns her kiss softly wrapping an arm around her waist

Tinania giggles against his lips then pull away looking at him "And that a bad thing? That I like teasing you?" she moves to sit in his lap running her finger along his neck.

"No it's not, just don't be surprised if I reciprocate" he purrs wrapping both arms around her holding her close

Tinania arches a brow then giggles alittle "Oh really? What makes you think I would be surprise?"

Surion chuckles "You never know, some time I might surprise you"

Tinania shrugs then nods "Yup but who knows you might not." she lays her head on his shoulder watching the dancer down below.

Surion purrs and nuzzles her neck softly "Sure you'd rather be up here with me?" he asks softly

Tinania looks at him then nods "Yes of course, Surion I love dancing, but I love being with you more.." she leans in kissing him lightly.

"So where do you place a combination of the two" he asks curiously

Tinania blushes but then giggles to hide the blush "What do you mean?" she pushes her hand though her hair not looking at him.

"Well if you love dancing, and you love me more, how do you feel about dancing with me" he says with a playful smirk

Tinania giggles then pokes his nose lightly "You know I like dancing with you Surion. I though you were talking about something else." she shakes her head then smiles "Why do you ask?"

"No reason, I was just curious how something you love and something you love more rate when you add them together" he chuckles and nips at her finger playfully

Tinania gasp then wrinkles her nose "Your silly sometimes you know that?" she brushes some of his hair from his face.

Surion laughs "Thankyou, I try..." he grins "Mum says I'll never cut that" he tells her

Tinania arches a brow then smiles "You mean your hair? No don't ever cut it. Long hair fits you..." she pushes back her shoulder length hair "I wouldn't have cut mind if I didn't have too.."

Surion quirks a brow "Why did you have to?" he asks her curiously moving a hand to play with the ends of a lock

Tinania looks at him then frowns "Well I kind of when I first started teacher got a potion on my hair then well burned it. So to make sure it wouldn't fully damage my hair I cut it.."

Surion chuckles softly "An occupational hazard huh"

Tinania nods then smiles "Yup, but that all might change soon..." she pushes her hair back then looks at the dancers again.

"It might? why?" he asks curiously

Tinania looks up at him before looking down at her lap "I might quit soon. I have too much on my mind right now to deal with it all. I know Kira will give me back my job. But right now I need to do the important things first.." she pauses looking up at him "Like have a life..."

"Just so long as you are happy Nani" he says softly and purrs, running his fingers softly over her cheek

Tinania smiles then runs her finger along his bottom lip "I will be once I do everything I must do.." she giggles then leans in biting his bottom lip lightly before kissing him lightly.

Surion smiles and pulls her closer deepening the kiss his hands softly massaging her back

Tinania runs her hands along his cheek then though his hair brushing her fingers against his horns.

Surion breaks the kiss with a sharp intake of air staring directly into her eyes

Tinania looks into his eyes a smile creeping to her lips as she brushes her fingers against his horns once more.

Surion growls softly trying to keep control of himself, they may have been alone in that room but it still wasn't the place to lose control

Tinania eyes widen then she smiles before leaning up to kiss one horn then the other.

Surion closes his eyes "Nani..." he whispers

Tinania looks down at him smiling "Yes?"

"You are getting close to being pounced" he whispers his eyes still closed

Tinania smiles then kisses the horns again before getting comfortable again, her hand running along his neck.

Surion takes a deep breath letting it out slowly as he opens his eyes looking towards her if one could read emotion how he was feeling inside was plainly obvious in his eyes

Tinania blushes seeing his eyes, she knew that look real well. She saw it from Ducan, most of the guys at work then men here. She looks away from him running her hand along his thigh "Sorry.."

Surion reaches a hand to the opposite side of her face gently touching her cheek to turn her had back "Nani, you are my love, the woman I wish to have as my mate... if I didn't want that I wouldn't let you touch them..."he purrs softly

Tinania looks at him then nods "I know love, I just don't wish to push you no matter how I'm feeling..." she smiles then kisses him lightly.

Surion purrs softly and pulls her into the kiss trying to reassure her with that kiss

Wrapping her arms around his neck she deepens the kiss her body moving alittle in his lap.

Surion purrs loudly wrapping his tail around her waist, he didn't care right then if they were walked in on or not, he was just plain enjoying the closeness as he returns the kiss

Tinania runs her hands down his shirt pulling back to kiss his neck then nibble on his ear. Her hands kept moving downward to rest over his pants.

Surion closes his eyes and nuzzles her something inside him didn't want to stop her hands at all

Tinania looked up at him, her eyes searching his face. She didn't want to go to far and have him stop her, her hand still continue to play with his pants.

Surion purrs, his eyes remain closed and he looks rather content

Tinania smiles then just lays her head on his shoulder relaxing against him her eyes closed.

"I love you Nani" Surion says and kisses her temple softly

Tinania smiles then kisses his chin "I love you Surion." she runs her fingers over his chest as she kisses his neck lightly.

Surion purrs and opens his eyes looking straight ahead for a moment then looks at her with a smile

Tinania looks where he was looking then back at him slightly confused. "Something wrong love?"

"Nope, just thinking about how lucky I am, and so very glad I never gave up" he says with a smile

Tinania laugh shaking her head sitting up "What would you have done if I was still with Gavin?" she smirks moving alittle in his lap because of the song playing.

"Probably gone and lived at the cliffs" he says not really wanting to think about that

Tinania bites her bottom lip shaking her head "I wouldn't have liked that. Your one of my best friend Surion and if you were to leave.. I don't know what I would have done.."

Surion gave her a weak smile "Wouldn't have been easy to have stayed here" he admits

Tinania looks down shaking her head "I know..."

"But that didn't happen, so lets not dwell on it" he says purring softly moving a hand to tip her face back up and kiss her softly

Tinania returns the kiss then pulls away blushing "Okay I really should get off your lap otherwise I'm gonna start something.." she moves as if to get up.

Surion lets go of her "If you feel you must love" he says watching her

Tinania looks at him here eyes were so close to emerald green. Standing she looks out the huge glass window to the dancer down before, her hips swaying alittle to the music.

Surion gets up and follows her "You want to dance again?" he asks her seeing her move to the music

Tinania turns to look at him then nods "Yes but here if that alright?" the song switch over to a slow song.

"Right here is perfectly fine with me" he says with a smile, he could here the music just fine

Tinania smiles wrapping her arms around his neck moving closer to him laying her head on his chest.

Surion purrs moving with her closing his eyes his arms around her waist

Tinania giggles alittle then looks up at him smiling "I feel like were the only two right now..." she runs her finger along his neck smiling.

"In a way we are" he purrs looking down at her

Tinania smirks then pokes him "True...okay I'll keep quiet now.." she blushes laying her head back on his shoulder.

Surion chuckles holding her close "I liked our dance earlier too" he whispers in her ear

Tinania blushes even more looking up at him "Really? I wasn't out of line or anything?" she moves one hand to rest it on his chest over his heart.

Surion shakes his head "No, it was fun" he tells her with a smile

Tinania smiles "Hmmm bet it be even better in bed.." she gasps pulling away to cover her mouth shaking her head. She couldn't believe she just said that.

Surion stares at her for a moment then chuckles and grins "Guess one day we'll find out"

Tinania was still blushing keeping her hands over her mouth, she was so scared she was going to say something else wrong.

Surion chuckles and reaches pulling her hand away a moment later replaces her hand with his lips kissing her softly

Tinania gasps against his lips relaxing almost instantly, she wraps her arms around his neck again running her finger along his horns again.

Surion shivers as she touches his horns trying to focus away from her teases, his hands move up her back hold her close

New Years Eve Clubbin cont.

Tinania pulls away only to catches her breath. One of her hands wrapping around a horn pulling him close.

Surion's eyes widen at the feeling of her hand around his horn "Oh Visha" he whispers to himself his hold on her tightening a bit

Tinania moved against him never letting his horn as she deepens the kiss.

Surion growls softly into the kiss a hand moving into her hair the other simply holding her close to him

Tinania pulls back from the kiss looking up at him her cheeks flushed. She breaths alittle hard running her finger over his cheek, the other was still wrapped around his horn.

Surion breaths heavily looking at her and nuzzles her finger

Tinania giggles then looks at him her hand running along his horn lightly. "Surion....."

"Yes?" he asks quietly his voice catching slightly

Tinania licks her bottom lip then shakes her head "Would it be bad to say that if we don't go downstairs that I'm gonna be the one pouncing you?"

"I think we're just about even... 'specially with you holding my horn" he bites his lip

Tinania pulls her hand away from his horn then laughs alittle "Sorry..." she steps away from him blushing as she pushes her hand though her hair.

Surion reluctantly lets go and stuffs his hands in his pockets of his jeans "Should we then?"

Tinania nods then turns heading towards the door. She stopped only to wait for Surion to be at her side. She had to keep her mind from wondering.

Surion walked after her hands still in his pockets humming softly

Tinania smiles then walks down the stairs in front of him her hands lifting above her head only for a moment. Once they reach the booth she leans forward looking for Celia's purse.

Surion drops onto a chair at the table and leans on teh table watching her, his tail flicking behind him as he purrs

Finding the purse she unzips it looking though the purse until she finds the lip gloss. Applying some to her lips she tosses it back into the purse then turns to him "That better.."

Surion smiles "So what would you like to do now love?" he asks her

Tinania smiles then looks out onto the dance floor, not many people were on the floor dancing. Turning back to him she holds her hand out "Wanna dance again?"

Surion nods "Certainly" he says standing again and offering her a hand

Tinania takes his hand then turns walking towards the dance floor. Turning back to him she moves her hips to the music as she runs her hand though her hair.

Surion purrs letting go of her hand and lets the music take over his movement as he watches her

Tinania moves her hands placing them on her hips. Her hips moved to the beat along with the rest of her body. She again was coming alive with the music.

Celia and Tara moved to stand next to Surion. Tara nudge him smiling "Have fun up in VIP?"

Surion turns his head and gives Tara a smile "Of course" he tells her letting her imagination run from there

Tinania kept moving her body seemed to flow with the music. She ran one hand though her hair again, she was so tuned to the music now.

Tara smirks then winks at him "So how did you get Tinania to dance like that earlier?" Celia tilts her head watching Surion alittle curious herself

Surion shrugs "I didn't do anything special" he admits moving with the music his eyes staying on Nani

Tinania still kept moving a few other guys were watching her now also. But she didn't seem to notice.

Tara arches a brow them smiles "Really because I have never seen her dance like that.." She turns seeing the other guys then pushes Celia toward Tinania causing the guys to smile even more but keep away.

Surion chuckles "Always a first for everything" he smiles watching Nani as they talked

Tinania smiles seeing Celia her body instantly matching the other elves as they moved. They both went to the ground at the same time then same up slowly yet seductively.

More and more people gather most of them being guys.

Tara nods then nudges him "Yup this seems to be a night for first...hmm I wonder if there will be more first happening tonight.." she laughs then pushes her hair back.

"Only Visha knows Tara" Surion says moving a bit closer having no intention being being separated

Tinania laughs as stops moving just as the music stops. She smiles at Celia wrapping her arms around her waist. She looks over at Surion smiling.

Tara smiles then looks back to them before looking at her watch "Whoa its pretty late they should be closing the place down soon. You guys wanna head out?" she looks at them all.

"Might as well I guess, we don't want to be the stragglers do we?" Surion says with a chuckle looking at Tara again

Nodding Tara heading towards the booth with the other to gather there things.

Tinania and Celia both pull their jackets on on then Celia walks up to Tara giggling as Tinania takes Surion's hands. They head out of the club.

As they climb into the Jeep Tinania climbs into Surion's lap like always as Tara pulls out of the parking lot heading for home.
