Welcome to Gaia! ::

"They actually have eight stomachs, I doubt that would be pleasant so don't mention it." Ultima said as he slid off the monster's back. He stepped back and looked at what had happened to the creature, it was bleeding pretty bad but if it wasn't killed soon it could start going crazy before it died.

"I think we should finish it off instead of letting it bleed to death here, Yet its fate will soon be that of the woods. Do what you may with it, I care not for I am very late indeed. Good day, I hope to see you again."

Ultima then walked off, he didn't have much ground to cover, he had to go to the party after missing the first.

"We had not engaged in anything more the foreplay, clothes where still on. I would not force her into anything she was not comfortable with." Nodding his head, "Yes, just came up, no motive given, no reason, nothing, took her off."

Rivven flushed, his face turned absolutely crimson and he stopped himself from freezing up nervously and instead broke into a nervous, embarassed laughter. "Erm... eh, maybe... maybe later, at a more appropriate time I can sort of give you an idea, but I think you can pretty much guess." he laughed, walking her back through the forest to the school. However, about half way, he paused, and looked off to one direction, and started heading that way, pulling her gently to follow. The stars were pretty bright, and the moon was as well, if not quite full; it was a good time to get the full effect of the place, so he might as well show it to her now instead of later. "Hey, Morgan, there's something over this way I've been meaning to take you to for a while, though I've hardly had the chance. It's not anything special during the day, but sometimes at night- well, you'll see in a minute."

It took a minutes walk, or two, but from the trees Rivven came out to an area he'd found a while ago, and though he'd only really used it once or twice, it seemed ideal now. The trees cleared quickly to a grassy shore which cut off in a steep drop, rather than a gradual dip, to a ever so slowly moving body of clear water. A large creek led into one end of it, and out the other, enough motion to keep the small lake from growing scummy or mossy in shallower area's, it was mostly surrounded tightly by the trees, but the dark, clear water sparkled in it's tiny motion, reflecting over the almost still surface the image of the bright moon, and the bright pin pricks of stars. Rivven smiled, and looked out at it all for a moment. "I found this a while ago. On nights when the lights are good, it looks beautiful, and it's not bad for swimming in during the day. A great place, and just far enough from everything else so you can really just relax." he stepped off the bank slowly, and let his foot come down toward the surface of the water, stopping ontop of it with only a single small ripple through the pool. His other made less impact as it came onto the water's surface. Turning around quietly, held a hand out for Morgan to take and step down atop the water's surface with him, smiling expecantly and hoping she wouldn't be too nervous. He would of course have the water hold both of them quite well afloat.

"Well, I'm afraid I know very little of religions, and I'm no hero, certainly not old enough to be in any tales or religions, but I can do a lot of things with water. Comes naturally to me." he said quietly, and stepped up close to her, leading her out further onto the lake by the hand, and then once they were nearing the center, he turned to put his arms around her, like when they had been dancing, and came close, just enough distance between so they wouldn't trip over each others feet if they did try to dance, which was sort of what he had intended. "It is a beautiful night." he said, holding his eyes to hers while he did.

"That means a lot, thanks" she mumbled, staring down at some fixed point that did not exist. Who's home did he mean? The women's dorms or Quin's estate? Mentally she started to count the pearls.

"I was just saying it seemed a poor comparison to me. You look especially beautiful in such fine lighting as well." It seemed a good time to stop talking as any. He quietly pulled her just a tiny bit closer, and started to sway back and forth slowly, as if still dancing, very faintly humming one of the song's that had played earlier. He held her eyes with a quiet smile, until he decided to stop holding it in, and just leaned forward to put his lips to hers and gently kiss her for a long time as they swayed. When it ended, he would quietly lay his head past hers, over one shoulder, and close his eyes, and kissed the side of her neck a few times gently as he enjoyed the silence.

Rivven quietly opened his eyes, and held as he was for a long moment before turning himself between her and the moon, so she'd be looking at it past him, a better view for her than the other way around. Water rose and spun around the dancing pair silently, wispes, and thin streaks of the liquid glimmering and shining in all the lights just like what was beaneath them, and swirled higher and more around them, until the small splashes of water he held in the air circled them, their motion making them to seem almost a sphere of water around them, shimmering in and glowing with the moonlight passing through them, suddenly illuminating in the dark night. He pulled his head back over her shoulder, and looked at her eyes, reflecting the light glimmering in from around them, and gently kissed her on the lips. "I love you, Morgan. I love you with all my heart and soul." he said, pulling slowly away to kneel in front of her on the water, holding one of her hands out and kissing it's back. The other hand, behind his back, grabbed a small object that rose in a small sphere of the water behind him, punturing a thin layer of plastic keeping the contents dry with his nail, and peeling it away. He made sure to hold her eyes and not miss a bit, not blink, as he held the small black box out infront of him, to her, with one hand, and flicked it's lid open. Inside, was a golden ring, inlaid with diamond. "Morgan, would you marry me?"
